mohaba··on Show HN: Lamp Carousel – DIY kinetic sculpture powered by lamp heat (2024)
Why would they be in luck? Did you read the article? Just because the efficiency floor is eliminated doesn’t mean production would or even could restart.
mohaba··on I wasted weeks hand optimizing assembly because I benchmarked on random data
Patriot missile range gate. I remember covering that in a numerical analysis class.

mohaba··on Jimmy Carter has died
A very wide angle lens.
mohaba··on Project AZORIAN
I would have appreciated if there were better captions on the photos rather than repeating “While the public believed the Hughes Glomar Explorer to be a vessel for deep sea mining, CIA was really using the ship to search for a sunken Soviet submarine.”
mohaba··on Copilot pane as annoying as Clippy may pop up in Windows 11
How about as annoying as Cortana?
mohaba··on California State University system sees unprecedented decline in enrollment
A sudden lack of population at certain ages.
mohaba··on "I Miss My Liver." Nonmedical Sources in the History of Hepatocentrism (2018)
To me, it is clear you are referencing jaundice for the second one, but I am not sure what plants are good for that.
mohaba··on Comcast squeezing 2Gbps internet speeds through decades-old coaxial cables
Checking the DOCSIS standards, maybe 2013?
mohaba··on Show HN: Every Breath You Take – Heart Rate Variability Training
wow. This is incredible for multiple reasons.

I've seen apps that somehow read what looks like an ecg from the h10, so maybe there's further pretty pictures to be made. Not sure why they'd be helpful, but this is certainly cool to look at.

It's amazing how much information this device throws off, and it all usually gets simplified down to Heart Rate only.

Thanks at the very least for a sample project that I can use to mess with some data acquisition in the future.

mohaba··on California Job Case
If you pick the letters strictly in order, it spells out the words. If you pick the letters by word, you can guess what word as there are only so many words. It'd be like watching a touch typist on a unlabeled keyboard for another example.

mohaba··on Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (June 2023)
Location: SF Bay Area Remote: Yes, with multiple years prior to pandemic while working in open source. Willing to relocate: Yes, preferred east coast to be closer to my family. Technologies: Kubernetes, Containers, Docker, AWS, cloud, golang, rust Résumé/CV: https://mhbauer.com/resume.pdf https://www.linkedin.com/in/morganbauer/ https://github.com/MHBauer/ Email: hn@mhbauer.com

Wide ranging Kubernetes/Docker/Containers experience, both practical application in AWS and as direct upstream contributor to these project. Entirely in golang for the last 8 years of experience.

Dearly miss working in the open source community, education, giving workshops, traveling, attending conferences.

mohaba··on High-Energy Lasers
It would be nice to see it demonstrated in Ukraine.
mohaba··on The human ear detects half a millisecond delay in sound
It's easy to do the math and show this is nonsense.

If a foot is a nanosecond for c, then 50ft difference is 50ns or about 10000x times smaller than the smallest difference. Even if the speed in a cable was 1%c, it's still under the proposed threshold.

Even so, try convincing my dad that it does not matter.

mohaba··on Go 1.17 is deprecating the traditional use of 'go get'
Go has repeatedly chosen "(1) break lots of people".

Not for the language itself, but the tooling around it.

I know I can start with a pound and fit it in a pint jar, just below the line.

mohaba··on AirPods with Wireless Charging Case
Still true.
mohaba··on How Reliable Are SSDs?
Need another run of Tech Report's "SSD Endurance Experiment" with current drives.

Throw some nvme and optane in there, see if we can wear one of those out.
