Nice work. Clustering around N95/N100/N150 visible.
I think Grindr underwent a forced divestiture from its Chinese owners due to US gov as well.
Re:Have you ever seen soldering THIS close? [video] on Wednesday September 18, 2024 @11:08PM (#41588103)
I respectfully disagree, and say that hand soldering is not a dying art. If you’re working on boards on the regular you probably have a soldering iron and use it often.

I disable password login all my hosts but good to know people do this.

CoinMarketCap is owned by CZ. I’m not claiming anything malicious, just FYI.
Re:Ask HN: Learn C in 2023? on Friday December 23, 2022 @10:54AM (#34107133)
Arduino programming can be a pleasant intermediate step in learning C/C++. Specializing specially in C can be easier after that experience.

Well the story started > 10 years ago, I think. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2473941

It's mostly the latter -- a better GUI.

Thanks for clarifying.
I don't like facebook the product, but I think they are being dunked on, too unfairly recently.

However, I'm most amazed and impressed how facebook has created a team -- likely compensated in FB equity -- and then convinced the world that the team is an "oversight board".

From my perspective, I see a project that took years of prep. Multiple papers were written. It was tested on software sim, and NASA's physical space simulator[1]. And it finally _successfully_ flew on mars, with some minor bugs.

In my opinion assuming they were "testing in production" (production being mars!), or writing code that "definitely not have passed code review", or that they did not do couple of hours of flight testing on earth, is an unnecessarily unkind assessment of this project.

Could you kindly provide a link for the hovering hexacopter please? Thanks.

Amazing that changing bits in some databases can change one's life dramatically.

Is the arm a UR3e? How much does it cost?
You claim "I know a little about Waymo. They seem ok."

Then go on to explain:

"Waymo: Code written by professionals. A system using models trained on vast amounts of data. Written slowly, meticulously, exhaustively, heavily reviewed, and intended to be reliable."

Quality shitpost.

I made a user tagger for HN. Makes it much more fun to navigate the threads as I see familiar users with their interests showing through.

Interesting timing for this question, as I just released it _today_[1].
