muny··on Rapid colonization of a space-returned Ryugu sample by terrestrial microorganism
I'm not super familiar, but I think a "Class 10,000" clean room is actually quite on the "dirty" end of the clean room spectrum. Perhaps they figured this had a low likelihood of being the source of domestic microbes?
muny··on Lately I've been using timers daily
Yes but mostly to narrow the solution space. I usually end up comparing glyphs from the subset.

muny··on Why is ‘juice jacking’ suddenly back in the news?
PD uses only the CC wire, which is also used for connection and orientation detection.

muny··on How To Get Started In Soldering
Seconding this. Have been using the same JBC tips for 4 years with great success.

When using the brass wool, I tend to lightly rest the tip in a clean area. Maybe sometimes I will rotate it a few times, but I never use pressure or make wiping or scrubbing motions. I'm not sure if it really matters though (ie. how do the hardness of the tip plating and the brass compare?).

Why use the same name as LoRa? https://lora-alliance.org/

Edit: Microsoft is even a member of the LoRa alliance: https://lora-alliance.org/lora-alliance-press-release/micros...

muny··on GitHub Copilot X – Sign up for technical preview
What I normally do in cases like this is set up the necessary scaffolding for the solution. In your case, that could be introducing a variable named something like `access_token` for it to substitute into the URL.

Then, when you trigger a suggestion it's very likely that CoPilot will use your `access_token` variable.

I also didn't realize I was looking at the numbers for a hybrid
muny··on An EV that removes CO2 from the air
How are you calculating 4.5 lbs / 6 miles?

I think it's closer to 0.15 pound / mile, or 0.85 pound / 6 miles if you like.

muny··on We are not mostly empty space
> Atoms exist on extremely tiny scales, just 1 ångström across...

I may be misinterpreting, but it sounds like he's saying all atoms are 1 ångström in diameter.

muny··on Ask HN: Do you ever go back and admire a piece of code you wrote?
It's good to know people do this outside the programming profession. Thanks for sharing.
