And of course 'footganger' almost makes sense in English — 'gang' in the sense of a passage is preserved in 'gangplank', and modern 'gang' has the related sense of 'group of people who go together'.

If you're not open to naming a concrete artist or recording that Esperanza is a rehash of, would you open to giving a concrete example of what you personally consider to be evolution in music within an existing genre that doesn't involve mixing elements of other genres?

Bonus points if the example doesn't depend on the introduction of a new instrument or musicmaking device that wasn't generally available when the genre began.
Almost nothing is pure escapism. Most games that have little plot or content have a deep social nature (fortnite, LoL, online Call of Duty).

Also being "honest" or "constructive" does not mean being "heavy". The best stories almost always leave lasting life lessons, in this regards games are not different from any other popular medium in the history of humanity.
one only needs to look at the team ico games to find examples of truly emotional games that don't handle player death in a realistic way. in each game you can die, fall off the level, etc. and you just come back after some ambiguous resurrection. but all three games have deep emotional content.
If you're not satisfied with the low-TTL/round-robin strategy, you would need to build out some private infrastructure to perform routing failover.

A tunnel with private routers between two cloud providers would allow you to advertise private host routes (/32) inside your network while NAT-ing appropriately to the outside. This achieves manual failover (or fast migration), but it can be expanded for dynamic failover, as well.

Let me know if you'd like me to elaborate the above solution. Otherwise, good luck with whatever solution you choose.
I wonder if there's any Buddhist metaphors to a game like Devil Daggers. You're caught in an infinite cycle of life, chaos, suffering and death, and the only way to end the cycle is to cease your "desire" to play.

This really sets the tone!

>We need universal developers, no need for full-stack developers anymore.

What if the “universality” of a developer has less to do with their language of choice, and more with their reasoning and abstraction capabilities?
Technically there is jitter in the digital domain, and it's possible to see problems at high bandwidth signals, but in low bandwidth transmissions like Flac, you're absolutely right.

If you have nanosecond timing requirements, then those might be useful, but for audio they are overkill.

> I immedieatly thought it was because float64 couldn't cover that number so I told him to use longdouble dtype (it's 80 bits in Intel I think) and the problem solved.

This is a very dangerous habit. If 64 bits isn't enough you are generally using the wrong representation.
Is there a directory or service one can use to get that information?
Some games do explicitly investigate death, but they are far from the norm. One I found quite touching was "To The Moon", which is a quirky but surprisingly emotional story around the death of an old man, and his lifelong struggles and regrets. It's short, but well worth a look (as is the sequel).

I think this type of narrative-driven investigation of a complex and uncomfortable topic is something which games can do extremely well. But few games attempt it. I wish more did; it adds a level of depth and intimacy which I haven't experienced with other media such as books or film (though some came close).
Control-P does it too, and is what I normally use. (Generally, I use control-{n,p,f,b} instead of arrow keys wherever possible. I also have caps lock mapped to control.)
> we have no way of mitigating or eliminating it.

Sure we do: reprocess it, like every country except the US that uses nuclear power does. The only reason the US doesn't is stupid politics.

Oliver Heaviside comes to mind, a little earlier, though when he was doing his best work he wasn't in a position to build it for real. He was even more of an outsider than the Wrights.
The design and operation of a transit system is a huge and complicated topic. It doesn't work out well just because you want it to. I agree that Europe tends to do it successfully; we should be figuring out why, and how to emulate it, because so far our own attempts tend to be mediocre.

When I lived in Chicago it took 60-70 minutes to get to the Loop by bus and Red Line, or 15-20 by car. I don't claim this is an inherent feature of transit. I claim that the way we do transit systematically underperforms the way we do roads, and so all else being equal, roads are going to deliver a better UX. We should be fixing that. Unfortunately, politicians who preside over transit meltdowns (i.e. Cuomo) keep getting reelected.
I think there are consequences, but unfortunately they are more subtile, long term, and society wide rather than immediate and felt directly by the liars. Lies told by politicians erode the overall trust basis of society over time, leading in the end to major social breakdowns or even civilizational collapse.
UX design and the technology used to implement it have nothing to do with each other. Absolutely none.
Your cost analysis neglects replacement, disposal costs for batteries, long term costs of carbon emission, and coal flyash disposal. The only reason nuclear is losing to gas and coal is because the externalities of the mess they make are dumped on the public, whereas nuclear pollution and waste processing is heavily regulated.

A lot of the most useful bits of "software process" are just adopting norms around evaluating whether we like the norms we've built so we can change norms that have stopped being productive. We can't escape our social nature, but we do have a choice of how we use our instinctive drive to belong.
Do you mean Ackland st? A small part of it was blocked off, there are still far too many cars going down there. But it is a great start.

St Kilda is a such an awesome area, but like lots of places far too many cars. Melbourne has a serious problem with cars, most of the large parks even include roads running through them. Even with a fantastic inner city tram system, too many people are addicted to cars.
Maybe use this opportunity to write one then, instead of passively-aggressively complaining?

I'm still fighting the sneaking suspicion that putting kubernetes/etc out to the general public and having such a fast release cycle was just a genius play by the big cloud vendors to acquire customers (who will realize running this stuff on premises isn't as cheap as they thought it was after doing the math (all the math, security, training, operational expenses, personnel training/expenses, moving from docker->moby->rkt->gvisor->firecracker->now vm expenses, blah blah etc)). This current tech wave is kind of disheartening. Everybody is focused on hosting...can we not get icecube to play a show for folks that are pushing the envelope with technology as applied to the medical field, or saving the environment, yo?

Triton on-prem is a snap. Boot the headnode from usb, boot the cluster nodes from usb+pxe, and lets get to kicking ass, fighting the good fight focusing on real groundbreaking applications.

*edit: I'm still a little butt-hurt after kubernetes being rammed down my throat in a large enterprise environment. Apologies to those that are fighting the good fight with kubernetes, I know you're out there, and big high 5 :)
...and clean power can be achieved by adding some capacitors and inductors at the right locations in the power supply. This'll cost a few tens of dollars, if you really want to go wild you could spend around $100. Not that this should be needed in a $40K amplifier of course. Private pole pigs are not needed for this application, the only function they serve is as a form of affluence signalling to 'those in the know'.

Entry level can never deliver proper quality. You will be looking at thousands, at the very least 300-500$'s worth of equipment to get proper sound without noticeable hissing noises or gaps in the frequency spectrum. You simply cannot get it below that price unless you engineer and build the hardware yourself or get a good deal from a friend or off Ebay.

That only works for games with a very limited player space, or games with a teleporting mechanic. Other games, like Onward allow you to both walk within your room with your location tracked, as well as free-walk using the joystick like a normal first person game, that's what I was talking about.
Great insight.

I am fond of the phrase "final generation nuclear". We need 30 years of nuclear fission before we can sustain fusion.

I think we're already past the point where some nuclear risk is acceptable. It's not a zero sum game - fossel fuels are already being used with risk.

We need to take some (calculated) risks again.
"Battery" is a sort of nebulous term for a collection of similar objects working in concert, whether that be artillery guns or electrical cells. Consumer electrical batteries are a collection of electrical cells.

Well, Lisbon, Madrid, Valencia and Sevilla. Sure, there are cars and roads, but the public transport system is good enough that you don't really need it. You only need a car to get out of the city. Also, in Sevilla (and now Valencia too) there are enough dedicated bike lanes that you can go to almost anywhere on bike, and you won't need to mix in with the cars or pedestrians.

Middle class definitely live in the city in those examples (and you won't be surrounded by homeless people) . In general European city centers come from medieval times, making them very walk-able (and touristic).
Yet, they still play on Wembley
Are you delusional? There are plenty of cities that minimize cars to a great extent, like Hong Kong, New York, Paris.

The problem is people are really addicted to cars.
Very nice article! I gotta admit I felt/feel the same way, I really like Erlang and although I also like Ruby, Elixir felt/feels weird to me and I don't see why I wouldn't write Erlang instead.

They didn't. They use a wheel with fewer counts per rev, read an analog value, and interpolate. It's like micro-stepping a stepper motor.

Another factor to consider with nuclear is how it perpetuates complete dependence upon the grid, a single point of failure model. Perspective articulated here by Sunnova CEO John Berger.

In my experience this exists for ISPs, but it's not easily available. I've used ISP brokers in the past and they've had this information in some proprietary systems when I've asked for quotes and proposals.
Yep! It also shows up in loan vocabulary like "doppelganger" [double-goer] and old-timey quotes like "gang aft agley" [go often awry, via Robert Burns' "To A Mouse"]
Plus, you can’t just go into an area with infrastructure capable of supporting 10k people and Just Add Housing™. What about the electric grid? Water and sewer? Schools, parking, trash pickup, etc. You have to have a plan to update all of these. The simple solution of just building urban apartment blocks everywhere won’t work.
Nah, describe it using some custom binary format and have a 1000 page spec to document it!

I would take this news with caution and let's see how long this boom lasts.

This being said, I don't live in Europe but I speak Portuguese. I plan to buy an apartment in Europe. Lisbon was always a serious consideration. But prices are through the roof. Golden Visa did not help either. I am also skeptical on having too much money invested in real estate in a, comparably, poor country. Real Estate taxes are a bargain compared with some US states. This could change (outch!). But basically they priced me out already. Overtourism does not help either.
There is a huge difference between e.g the US where workers have little security and places where they do. Especially when you consider the gig economy. Consider how Uber works in an environment where a laid off worker might be paid 6-12 months in full depending on employment lengh. Uber does operate in such places but it’s basically in a perpetual fight against unions and authorities.
UI Constructor
Yikes. There's nothing stopping someone from creating a CSS and HTML file and being done. The trap is following standards and common practices for enterprise-level front end development when they don't suit the requirements. Simply editing a CSS file requires none of the things you are complaining about. It certainly doesn't require globally installing npm packages.
Finally! I've been suggesting for years that HN start merging comment threads for duplicate posts. I hope this gets automated.
You were not downvoted because people took your comment literally, you were downvoted because being snarky runs against the Hacker News guidelines, specifically:

> Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say face-to-face. Don't be snarky. Comments should get more civil and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

Sometimes snarky comments will be forgiven if they are substantive. Yours contributes very little beyond what the parent/grandparent comments had already mentioned.
> it's either going to make it or it isn't

This isn't _strictly_ true - I've seen basically the equivalent of noise in a HDMI picture (white dots all over the picture), and eventually tracked it back to a faulty HDMI cable.

I did replace it with the cheapest (<£5) HDMI cable I could find though, so there is that.
Laravel or vanilla PHP backend.

But I'm keeping some of my projects on WP, and will continue to update them. There are many reasons why Wordpress is great. Just that now I'm free to use any kind of backend... In 2018 I also worked with Node.js and Firebase, but currently for the server side I prefer PHP.
You don't understand the power of naivety, placebo effect, dreams and stupidity composed (multiply all). Not in any way intended to insult these people, I know a few (not as rich) and they simply do not want to understand the basic principles behind digital signals, error corrections etc. I know people that work in IT and still pretend that audio transmission over USB can add jitter to music and that a DAC can "open" or "close" "the stage" by low quality processing of the signal. There is no way to convince these people they are wrong, so I stopped trying many years ago.
And yet it’s also children’s lives we’re talking about; not just the government. Country-scale things like this are difficult to boil down.
That depends. Usury is a counter example. There's a reason loan sharks are viewed with disdain. That isn't to say the borrower doesn't bear any responsibility, but consent, apparent or real, is insufficient to categorically absolve the lender.
I'd argue that the super-wealthy only live in the suburbs because that's the best place to live in a city designed to serve the suburbs. In London, the super wealthy live right in the centre...

Not sure how common the problem still is, but some custom roms for android phones could not use shortcodes, and could not dial 911.

I'd recommend having the full numbers programmed in your phones for emergencies if your playing with new roms.

Also, federal alerts did not go out for the 911 outage, but major cities did. So subscribe to the local alert systems.
A tangent, but seeing as this thread has awoken the HN audiophiles: What should I look for/avoid in a DAC? Does it really matter if my source device is an iPhone/iPad?

Reading blogs and review sites talk about the personality of DACs has started to grind on me. Surely it’s just a question of accuracy which can be summarized in a metric?

(I’m currently probably going to get a NAD D 3045 integrated amp/DAC, mainly for the specs, and fond memeries of being a teenager with a 3020).
Thank you! Was looking for this.
A working USB cable does not create packet loss and definitely does not fix packet loss; if packet loss occurs because of the cable, the cable is defective, nothing else. There is no good quality and bad quality, there are cables that work as expected and cables that are defective.

The missing link is to build up solar capacity to refill your battery.

To refill the battery you need to generate 57600MWh each day. Assuming that we get 12 hours of sunlight per day at 50% efficiency, you that comes down to 2 (efficiency factor) * 57600MWh / (12 hours / day) = 9600 MWh solar installation.

At $1 / Watt, 9600 MWh solar installation comes down to $9.6 billion.

Assuming my math is correct, this seems pretty competitive. In particular, I am assuming that $1 / Watt means $1 per Watt of electricity at max luminosity. If $1 / Watt means $1 per 1 Watt of absorbed solar energy, the efficiency should be 10% - 15%.

Large scale installation cost per watt: https://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/doe-officially-...
The story of Spikey
One thing this article leaves out is what the value of all this transport is.

Trips do have value. When you sell something on Craigslist, the economic activity you are generating depends on the road network, and that transport event can be said to have value.

The epiphany that hit me though is that all the most valuable transport is already happening. Less valuable transport that isn't worth sitting in traffic for, is passed over.

This is key- it means that having roads is good, as it provides transport for those most valuable trips. However expanding the road adds only the less valuable trips. It's wicked diminishing returns- the road is more and more expensive to expand, and the trips/economic activity it adds are less and less valuable. The first two lanes were the cheapest to build and the most valuable to society, and every pair after that is worth less & less.
In the wiki article and in the tribute article linked (https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1996-11-15-961115...), it doesn't really give any insight on why it was a 'disaster'. Have anymore to share? I'm really interested.
Nice, sentiment.. but hopefully that's not how politics works.
There's no reason why this couldn't be replaced by tax revenue though. I know I'd vote for a tax to fund police if it was explicitly stated that this would allow them to stop picking people up on petty crimes.
