on: NASA's helicopter survives first freezing night on Mars
I've been trying to find out what communication protocols are being used between the rover and helicopter. I've seen on Wikipedia that it's supposedly Zigbee, but the source material referenced doesn't mention Zigbee. Does anyone know how this is working?

on: NextDNS Is Out of Beta
My home network is running a VPN I can access from my phone & computers while away. The home network includes a PiHole that is running DNSCrypt (DNS over HTTPS) with Cloudflare's DNS service.
Edit: so ultimately, you'd be trusting whoever's on DNSCrypt's resolvers list. Better than trusting Comcast, in my situation.

on: What’s the real reason Costco employees check receipts at the exit?
It's not a secret -- quite often they will tell you exactly why they're checking your receipt: to make sure "the checker didn't miss anything or overcharge" and "that you got your movie tickets/food/etc".

Can you work as a contractor? Generally, you shouldn't have to provide a background check if you're just contracting your services.

on: Apple Plans to Pay $38B in Repatriation Taxes
Not a Trump supporter, but I don't see why he shouldn't. Apple probably wasn't going to do this unless that tax deal (or something similar) went through.

on: Show HN: Cancelable async primitives for JavaScript
This is really great. It reminds me of NSOperationQueue on iOS. I think a cool next step would be to add dependencies -- ie have Futures wait to execute until dependent Futures have completed/succeeded.

on: Where’s all my CPU and memory gone? The answer: Slack
I wouldn't blame this on engineers -- they aren't necessarily the ones making the (albeit very attractive) business decision to use one codebase for multiple platforms.

It's a bit further South than most people want to live, but San Jose is currently doing this.

Why are Deploy Boards being restricted to EEP customers? I would love access to that, but I don't need the support and geo-replication (and 5x cost increase) that comes with EEP.

on: Ask HN: What's the one thing that let you grow the most as a developer?
Time. My 19-year-old brain was fully capable of front-end development, but absolutely not ready for some of the more (relatively) complex computer science topics. I just hit my 30's and can feel my capabilities expanding more with each passing month. I wish I was capable of learning at this rate/depth earlier in my career.

on: Microsoft REST API Guidelines
I understand what the doc is trying to convey, I just hadn't ever thought of the application-level logic for record deltas before, so I got incredibly distracted from the document. It made me wonder how other people, not using temporal tables, are accomplishing this right now.

on: Microsoft REST API Guidelines
Very cool document. I kind of got stuck at delta queries, though. How do you implement that? I can't find any reference to delta/removed queries on Mongo, Postgres, or MySQL. Do you just keep all records in the database and add a "removed" field? How would that solution work with user privacy & users truly wanting to remove data?

on: Swift Programming Language Evolution
Having developed in Objective-C since iPhone was released, I am very appreciative of Swift. It really puts in a lot of effort to make it hard/impossible to write code that crashes. Swift is such a safe language to develop in, I was able to switch from ObjC to my first Swift project and release builds to my client for months without any reported crashes in my code.

on: Developing Our First iOS App with React Native
I am particularly interested in hearing about view transitions. I know JavaScript, Android, and iOS development and found that, while I could easily make a React Native app work on iOS and Android, it was lacking the polish that modular view transitions could provide.

That's exactly what I did. I wrote a wrapper around their REST API. Feeling pretty good about that decision right about now.

on: Swift is Open Source
The more I think about this, the more I wonder how existing third-party libraries will respond. Similar to Android and Java, I'd imagine we'll start seeing "vanilla" Swift libraries crop up that only use public/standard libraries and can work on iOS/OS X apps as well as open source projects.

It's great to see them follow through with this. I remember when Steve Jobs went on stage and said that FaceTime would be an open standard. Haven't seen that happen yet.
