dchristianon Launch HN: Buoyant (YC S21) – Blimp drones for air freight

How far along are you on getting FAA approval for beyond visual line of sight operation? Or will there be a pilot on the full scale version?

dchristianon NASA can't figure out what's causing computer issues on the Hubble telescope

You might check on how New Horizons was implemented. They initially wanted to fly LISP, but (I think) they eventually used the LISP to generate C++. This was to allow dynamic, model based re-planning when the craft was in the outer reaches of the solar system.

dchristianon Ask HN: What kind of chair are you using for WFH?

I tried a gamer chair, but eventually gave up on it. I'm wide in the shoulders (and middle) and they seem to be designed for narrower (or younger) builds. They can be nice if they fit your build.

The reclining back found on gamer chairs is surprisingly nice. That slouched position can be a nice change. I've never seen that adjustment on even the nicest of office chairs.
