Conversations With a Six-year-old on Functional Programming
I'll admit I got clickbaited by this title. I was wondering what a guy could possibly talk about with a six year concerning functional programming. Turns out it's just this cutesy bullshit article about him playing math games with his son.

NASA Completes Full-Power Tests of Small, Portable Nuclear Reactor
https://www.engadget.com/2018/05/02/nasa-completes-full-power-tests-small-nuclear-reactor/
Just like in The Martian! So the mars rover used solar panels, but dust kept on covering them so the rover shuts down. By sheer luck, wind storms regularly blow the solar panels clean and that's how the rover is able to keep working. For newer missions, NASA plans to just screw the solar panels and put a nuclear reactor directly into the rover. Cool plan, imo.
