Loved the Vietnam series too. Have watched it a couple of times on Netflix.

I'm 40 yo European so I knew close to nothing about the Vietnam war other than what I had seen in some movies. Very in depth and emotionally powerful. It also seemed pretty objective to me as a complete outsider.
Not sure when development started, but when the game was released the geforce was out for 3 years and the geforce 4 series was already launched.

Modern 3D with modern graphics cards already existed in 1998 with games like Unreal and Half-Life, imho, on the Riva TNT (not the Voodoo with its 16-bit color ;)).

Of course indeed there still was a larger variety of types of graphics cards and drivers then so indeed more work.

I've never driven one, but a bit of research indicates that it has a right control stalk but Tesla didn't make it control the wipers. Instead, the button on the left stalk will wipe once. The fact that videos like this exist shows just how horrible the UI is:

Is that a single address space system or merely two systems with db2 databases and disk volumes on a SAN in replication? I think it's the latter.

100 miles will add 5ms (round trip) to your disk flush on commit. So a system like this has the sequential and random IO latencies of a RAID of SSDs but the flush (database commit) times of a 15K RPM spinning rust disk. People lived with mechanical disks, it's ok.

Sync disk replication (in one direction) over a fiber line is not an exclusive feature. Having both sides be active, instead of active and hot standby requires some smarts from the software, but modern distributed databases do that, and if you're careful you can get far with batch sync jobs.
If you can say it in five words, why say it in five letters? That's the problem with a lot of old Unix/C stuff in particular. Consider atoi. If you're not already steeped in the arcane language of unix beards, how are you meant to divine that it means "a[rray] to i[nteger]"? It's simply unreasonable. By comparison, string->number seems pretty intuitive. (That ascii-art arrow may be straying from the code-as-prose ideal, but I think it's intuitive enough to make up for that.)

Of course, there is a sense in which lisp-like code can be dense while at the same time having verbose names for things. Consider this and an idiomatic C equivalent: (filter odd? '(1 2 3))

That is simultaneously intuitive and verbose. Would it be improved by changing `filter` to `fltr` or some nonsense like that? I don't think so. But even though it hasn't code-golf'd the names for things, it's doubtlessly shorter (denser) than the equivalent in idiomatic C using the mangled shortened identifiers that are par for the course in that language. Density through good abstractions is superior to density through short names and abbreviations.

Could you do both? Sure. But for what marginal gain?

Sure, I will try to unpack my thoughts.

You go after Jewish people as a class, rather than specific institutions controlled by Jewish people, which I think is bad faith argumentation. If you criticized Israel, for example, or some specific set of banks I would be ok with that.

I admit I would not have the same reaction against another person criticizing “white people” as a class. But I believe I am justified in that because whiteness is not an ethnicity, it is the practice of denial of ethnicity. That makes it a specific institution not a group of people.

I am vulnerable also to accusations of hypocrisy because I sometimes criticize men as a class. Maybe that should be out of bounds, (probably is out of bounds on HN) as men are clearly a real biological group and not a concept.

However, masculinity (as opposed to manhood) is not a biological reality, it is a system of identity constructed to hold childbearing women in a sex class (i.e. submitting to control of their bodies). So to the extent that men identify with masculinity as opposed to just having a penis and some hormones, I would say we are also open to being attacked as a class, and lose our protected status as an actual “tribe” of people.

Although as a side note, I do suspect that when masculinity was originally invented it was quite possibly an identity constructed for the protection of men as an actual ethnographic class of underserved people. Pregnancy does confer actual power and patriarchy I suspect was invented to counterbalance that. However I don’t believe it functions that way today.

I suppose you could argue that Jewishness has crossed that rubicon but I don’t see how you could credibly do without getting into holocaust denial which I would also put in the bad faith category.

Serious apologies to any Jewish people reading this who may feel by engaging these questions I am being blasé about the threat of antisemitism. I really don’t want to do that, but I also want to hold a hand out for people who are having a hard time understanding the reasoning behind the rules of liberal discourse.

At a quick glance at least it seems that what Z offers is a better (in the eyes of its designer) syntax. I glanced through to about the ternary operator in order to find the USP. After going back just now I found "The Why of Z" and it seems to be that text output typically needs some kind of module import:

"First off, the import statement is clutter. Why can't the text function be built-in, perhaps?"

absl::btree_map and absl::btree_set are drop-in replacements for std::map and std::set that use b-trees under the covers. Worth noting that this simulation doesn't factor in pressure on the CPU cache, which means that even if you aren't under VM pressure, b-trees can still offer a speedup. They are also gentler to the allocator.

Go having nil for various types is indeed a problem.

In fact, a few weeks ago I caught an issue where a map in Go was unexpectedly nil when it should have been full of data (missing initializer), and I caught it because the serialized data was then consumed by the client written in Swift which doesn’t have this issue. Go thought it was writing data to spec but the client immediately diagnosed it as having an unexpected null before it even tried to work with the data.

> Does adding the 3D parallax not make it the Ken Burns effect anymore?

Yes.

Specifically, the Ken Burns effect describes taking a still, 2D image and panning and zooming on the 2D image in a motion picture.

Adding 3D parallax makes it something quite different in the eyes of many of us on this forum. It is cool! We would just not use the words "Ken Burns effect" to describe what you've made.

The basic idea of making a phone to last for longer than current contenders is appealing. No mention about the battery being replaceable though, which in my experience is the real limiting factor on current phone longevity. Edit: it includes a free battery change, impressive at this price

Not sure what the business argument is to have far better specs /and/ warranty than other phones at the low price point (early bird is $200 for an octa core with 6GB RAM). I wondered if they are subsidized by VC but didn't see anything on AngelList. Curious if anyone knows more.
I really want to ship some software tomorrow morning to all of my clients, but it might have critical bugs that corrupt their existing data. What are my options in that scenario?

The best option if you really want to wipe out mosquitoes is to invest the actual time and resources required into proving that mosquitoes can be targeted precisely, and that there won't be knock-on effects.

People get angry about that answer because that's not fast or convenient, and in the meantime people are dying of malaria. And I really do understand that, but there is no fast, easy, safe way to eliminate a species. Every possible solution takes time. I'm sure my boss gets upset too whenever I tell them that the new database upgrade needs to go through QA again.

The short answer is if you want to help people with malaria today and not just theoretically help them in the future, you should invest in building out Africa's infrastructure and increasing medical access and standards of living for the people who live there. That's also a pretty difficult task, but it may end up being faster, safer, and easier than eliminating mosquitoes.

I casually buy and sell domains. Used to do it heavily when I was in college but have turned down my investments in this space since I believe it is fundamentally antithetical to a free and open internet. I'm usually happy to let go of my domains for substantially lower profits if someone has a genuine need.

This is just to qualify my next statements.

Domainers grossly overestimate the impact of domain names. Entrepreneurs grossly underestimate it.

The truth is somewhere in between. Domains are important, but they're not going to make or break a shoddy product.

As long as you get a domain that's pronounceable, easy to type in, and memorable, you should be fine.

In particular, this means staying away from exotic extensions - both gTLDs like ".travel" and ccTLDs like ".io"

Because the average user still thinks of the web as .com. Tell them that your website is abccorp.io and they will type in abccorp.com. In fact there is a cottage industry of domainers who buy .com versions of websites in other TLDs just to make money off the type-in traffic.

If you can't get the domain you want, add a prefix like "get"

Remember that domains are essentially about branding. You want to sound familiar yet stand out. Imagine the domain name as a standalone retail store. Does the name make sense? Does it seem trustable?

Like if you're selling watches, "WatchCenter.com" makes sense. You can practically imagine a big retail chain named 'Watch Center'.

Some of favorite prefixes/suffixes to get solid brands are: hub, mojo, hero, smart, open, start, center, station, base, next, genius, zap, wire, active, metrics, dojo.

Add them before/after a keyword to get a decent domain (like "InstaPayments" or "CodingDojo.com")

Just make sure that you stick to .com
Labeling factual statements (well sourced, from mainstream publications) as "justifications for white supremacy" is nothing but a convenient way to avoid having to dispute them.

You accused me of white supremacy, of "spouting those ideologies", based only on dislike for the other writings of the author of the post I used as source, which I explicitly did not endorse. This is a post whose accuracy no-one has bothered to dispute. If defending the accuracy of my statements is unacceptable, then what kind of debate did you have in mind?

Did you hope I would just fall to my knees and beg forgiveness?

> You have yet to even make a halfhearted denial of these bigoted ideologies

I edited my earlier post. In case you missed it: "I very deliberately linked to a specific post, and do not endorse, nor did I even bother to read, the site as a whole." I consider this denouncement a charity - I do not owe it any more than I would owe denouncing eugenics for invoking evolution, or owe denouncing Soviet purges and the Holodomor for advocating for unions and welfare. I will not ignore facts just because bigots repeat them.
Not bad but monocular depth estimation has gotten pretty good all around. I made these similar images with basically no expertise, no manual mapping, just trying random single image depth projects from github. I kind of just went with whatever I could get running quickly, didn't even evaulate the quality other than cases where it obviously didn't work.

(Sorry for linking a million tweets but I didn't put these on a blog or anything, that's the only place they exist.)

Your version does look better though! But I was impressed I could just run random images through depth estimates and get anything cool like this.

Well Paul Graham says to always get a .com though I get the feeling as long as your domain comes up first (easier with a good name + .com) it wont matter. It could be .xyz and people will click on it if its high enough. Though there is more legitimacy in having a .com

If I remember correctly though Discord used to be DiscordApp.com it wont hurt to start out with a longer .com that has app at the end. I would also consider .app maybe Google will rate it higher but I am no SEO expert and that would involve separate research.

> simply issue a blanket ban and the threat of further punishment to discourage the use of whatever they are trying to teach their children to avoid rather than teaching their children responsible use

I take the somewhat contrarian view: kids (at some age) need to learn to cope with absolute limits that are strictly enforced. How else will they cope with living in real society? Not paying your rent will get you kicked out. Driving over the speed limit will get you a ticket, or worse. Not showing up to an exam in college means you fail the class.

Not saying you should have draconian rules on everything. But some rules need to be enforced with (reasonable) consequences. Otherwise you are doing your children a disservice, IMHO.

> brought big companies to the country

Unfortunately, these companies were brought over by accountants, not engineers..

In so far as, Ireland gave them an opportunity to target EU market (& tax deals) which meant their staff is mostly non engineering (customer service/finance/legal).

The big mistake Ireland made (back then) was not ensuring some of their core business functionalities _had_ to be present in Ireland (i.e. engineering)

A lot less new tech companies built by accountants and customer support staff compared to engineers.

Some three years ago, I had the exact same experience—except that it was a high-end telescope at the observatory, with an equatorial mount and all other gear. I was mesmerized enough that I did a silly thing: pointed my Nexus 5's camera towards the telescope's eye piece to capture a hint of the Saturn. And ever since it's been my phone's wallpaper.

That's[1] the result. It's an understatement to say "it's nowhere near as sharp", but you can clearly see the shape of the rings there.

My ideal wallet would be no wallet. Cash makes my wallet too thick. I keep some non-daily cards in there (like debit card, Rx card) because I’m too forgetful to manage continually adding and removing cards. There are phone based solutions but I don’t want to be reliant on a charged battery for absolute essentials. Cash is funny because I am super hesitant to break a large bill, and then very eager to get rid of the smaller ones, and where I live, it’s generally a good idea to carry one larger bill as a fallback.
Yeah, I played that game with my parents when I was a kid. It was exhilarating and made me enjoy my time on the computer even more. It's very rewarding to be denied something but find a way to get it anyway.
