Thanks, appreciate the insight

Oh nice, thanks for these! Since you’ve worked with PB a lot - do you usually jump b/w different tools depending on the format (PB, Avro, JSON, etc.)? Or would having a single plac…

Not a data engineer, but I’ve worked with Avro a tiny bit and it quickly became obvious that manually inspecting payloads would not be quick and easy w/o some custom tooling.I’m cu…

App Store only allows apps not using those runtime features

Searching HN for "mirror cells", I see at least 1 article warning of the dangers from more than 10 years ago. So, this has been a thing for a while. Any biologists here that can ch…

As soon as it mentioned the line of site antennas I knew it had to be a tree. It often surprises me how much branches can sag from the weight of rainwater

Great story, and LeMessurier is certainly deserving of praise. I'm curious about his initial mistake. The article mentions that he placed the pillars at the middle edges, as oppose…

I didn't know Bob or know who he was until reading this horrible news. After reading these stories of how he brought people together and had a strict "no-judgement" policy, I'm ins…

I recently learned about the Belgian Antarctic research station princess Elisabeth, which is not only zero emissions but utilizes passive heating as well - completely heated by inc…

There's a well established theory called the "Hygiene Hypothesis" that says exactly this - https://www.fda.gov/vaccines-blood-biologics/consumers-biolo...

What enrages me is how it's become accepted as 'the right way' for parents in my culture, along with other "techniques" like feeding schedules, where many people end up essentially…

You're absolutely right that every baby has different needs and I'm glad to hear that you figured out what's best for yours. It was not my intention to suggest that every baby shou…

The fact that this is so commonplace in my culture (USA) is frustrating and enrages me. As a parent, it is your evolutionary instinct to comfort a crying infant. They are quite lit…

I enjoyed the piece and this is one part that I disagree with. As I understand it, being in a flow state simply means being totally absorbed by what you are doing during that time …

GP is most likely mocking what they see as circular logic in the crypto-sphere. Re: Uniswap - a study posted here few days ago found that 97.7% of tokens launched there are either …

This is really cool. Listening to themes from different places and eras, I can place myself there in my mind. It's like a nostalgia for something I never actually experienced. Is t…

I also initially thought of crack cocaine, but it turns out the name means literally to crack the data - as in break it apart into visual nodes

It is a big problem. It's unrealistic to expect patients to have access to a DVD ROM drive, let alone the know-how to use any of the software mentioned

Appreciate the detailed answer - I was unaware that contrails were significant. TIL!

>emissions tend to do more damage at high altitude than they do at ground level I've always been a bit dismissive of aviation as a carbon emissions contributor because globally it …

>Why not to build nuclear powerplants away from lands used for other purposes? Because the longer the transmission lines the more power is lost - so plants are generally close to w…
