That's a good point and something to look into for sure— the summer bike is a pretty standard road racer (Cannondale R800), whereas the winter one is more of an upright-posture city rider (KHS Urban X), so definitely quite different; and I've never been professionally fitted on either one.

TBH, the real driver on getting a second ride was just having the fatter wheels that would accommodate studded tires, which are a total godsend for riding on icy and snowy roads.

That's great! I'll be sharing that site with my homestay family, who have kids aged 6 and 9. On Monday this week I asked the older one to read a Wikipedia list of Disney films and Dreamworks Animation movies and here's the list she made, which you can compare with the ones on your site:

Alice in Wonderland; Toy Story 3; Incredibles; Pinocchio; Lion King; The Tale of Despereaux; Winnie the Pooh; Maleficent; Cinderella; Frozen; Frozen II; Moana; The Santa Clause; Coco; Pirates of the Caribbean; The Princess and the Frog; Brave 2012; Beauty and the Beast; Born in China; The Boss Baby; Abominable; Trolls World Tour; Gift of the Night Fury; Shrek (all); The Grinch; Book of Dragons; Kung Fu Panda; Puss in Boots; Dawn of the Dragon Racers; Marooned ; Prince of Egypt; Peter Rabbit; Aladdin 1992; Aladdin 2019; Shark Tale; Wallace and Gromit; Chicken Run; Bee Movie; Turbo 2013; Home 2015; Captain Underpants; Tangled 2010; Harry Potter; Despicable Me; Despicable Me 2; Minions; The Secret Life of Pets; The Little Ghost; Waking Sleeping Beauty; Cleopatra in Space; My Neighbour Totoro

I've been working on a video annotating web extension, works on Firefox/Chrome and Netflix/Youtube/Vimeo: https://plopdown.video

Edit: wanted to add a few more details on what my goals are with this project!

1. Being able to easily add audio commentary to hosted video, MST3K and Rifftrax being an example.

2. Being able to do popup video style context and commentary.

3. Drinking games.

4. Instant replays.

5. Picture-in-picture commentary (reaction videos).

5. Pointing out easter eggs or continuity errors in videos (think the hidden ghosts in "The Haunting of Hill House")

Thanks for clarifying. I was only aware of government-level announcements over here in Europe. From what I've seen here any conditions are more along the lines of "x, y, and z must all be improving" and those values have been left deliberately ambiguous.
Take the Madoff scam that fell apart back in '08. Everyone believed they were making money from 1999 up until it turned out in 08 they had none. And that was in an environment that was considered well regulated.

Financial scams and collapses frequently go 3-5 years looking like a gravy train of wealth creation. And those are actual scams with people lying. Let alone a new phenomenon like Bitcoin where there is a plausibility to the whole thing. That is enough evidence that Bitcoin might just be a fad.

In terms of Bitcoin's actual fundamentals if you want an argument to mull over:

1) There is a slight incentive against new buyers to entering the market - they are pretending that someone who bought Bitcoin for $500 did useful work which is trivially not true. The more the Bitcoin price rises the more true that is.

2) The brand name "Bitcoin" is meaningless long term - look at how the meaning of words shift when it is convenient. Traders don't care about dictionary definitions.

At some point mining ceases and people don't trade enough to sustain the mining network. At that point, the miners all switch to some new ByteCoin. With a powerful hashing network providing a cheap alternative crypto and with incentives against new entrants into the market people stop accepting Bitcoin. The value collapses.

The basic argument is there is no technical difference between Bitcoin and any other crypto. At some point, the miners stop making money and leave; then Bitcoin gets outcompeted. The value retained by crypto tends towards the marginal cost to create new crypto which is 0. This stands in contrast to the argument that the only cryptocurrency that matters is Bitcoin - which I don't think holds true long term. I can see why sellers of Bitcoin would believe that but I don't see why the buyers will cooperate. Cryptocurrencies are completely fungible from a buyer perspective - they can't actually distinguish between them unless the words matter. Or one has a massive hashing network behind it.

Compare to gold - doesn't matter what word is used; gold is still gold. I can go to almost any major civilisation, not speak a word, but wave some gold around and they will recognise it. Words don't matter.

Hope that ramble is of interest.
Some of them are way overdone. So much so they’re hard to look at because they look garish. Others are more muted and add some “atmosphere”. Overall I agree that natural light or even stage lights would have been preferred.
> I think (as is usually the case) the right approach sits directly in between the "open now" and "keep everything shut down" camps.

At least in my country, there's already been a lot of complaints about repeated changes to advice and rules.

I'm pretty sure the government's science advisers would ideally like to do a gradual, multi-stage re-opening with the option to roll things back if they need to. You know, reopen some schools next month with teachers under the age of 45, if death rates rise shut them down again, otherwise reopen more the month after, and so on.

The fear is that message is too complicated, and people who are told "here is a schedule for reopenings on a trial basis and subject to change" will hear "lockdown is over, I can finally visit my friends and loved ones" - and we'll get a second peak even worse than the first.

Same with Google. It's naive to think that if you are "logged out" in "private mode" they aren't saving your queries. It's not difficult to know who's searching if you have access to an IP address and browser fingerprint information.
In the video they mention that the "heavy geometry" you are talking about is 100s of billions of triangles. Storing 1 billion triangles using 32-bit floats takes ~12 Gb, so we are talking about N * 12 Tbs only in triangle storage for this demo. Building an acceleration data-structure on top of this would also take up a lot of storage, so I don't think how you can make this approach successful on a PS5 with limited GPU memory.

To me this tech sounds more like they finally figured out all the quirks around how to properly construct "seamless geometry atlasses" (geometry images) and reconstruct geometry from them, and managed to bring that to production. It required quite a bit of compute, and there were also a lot of quirks about how to automatically "cut" an input geometry so that you can put it in a 2D image, how to compress and decompress the image or parts of it without artifacts (such that you don't get jumps across triangles), etc.

That approach doesn't store any triangles, but a 2D xyz (rgb) image that you can use to reconstruct the original geometry from, and to which you can apply all usual image compression algorithms, use all GPU texture features (but for geometry), etc.

That's ~15 year old tech, and they mention they have been working on this for over 10 years, so timeline-wise it would fit (search for geometry images, texture atlasses, etc. there was a siggraph talk from ~2005 about wavelet compression of geometry images).

Easy, secure REST API for your SQL database (PostgreSQL and MySQL/MariaDB supported). You pre-define queries and get REST endpoints for them with token authentication.

I build a lot of side projects and got tired of always having to setup an API backend for each one that I wanted to use an SQL database with, so I made Seamless.cloud for myself. Maybe it will be useful for others too?
Trail Router is amazing! I just had it suggest a 5k route to me and it suggested my favourite 5k route immediately. Currently, it doesn't seem to care about elevation, that might be something to look at if you are running out of feature ideas. Is is open source?

I'd actually also be willing to donate a little for the development of such a cool tool.

> That's one man's opinion. Likely an unhappy man's opinion.

Looks like it touched a nerve, but I think you are reading too much into it. It's a very limited life by definition as it's the life that's formulated for you by society. Accepting things are the way they are because you are told so and living your life accordingly is a limited life. Especially compared to his definition of the "broader life". Don't think he meant it's the life everyone wants or should lead or that you should feel bad or insecure about it.

Also his fact is very insightful : "one simple fact: Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you. And you can change it, you can influence it… Once you learn that, you'll never be the same again."

I would be very careful of any claims made by barefoot shoe manufacturers regarding it being more natural/it's how we evolved, especially if running on roads or other hard surfaces.

College football messages boards are still alive and well. Especially the paid ones that keep out most of the trolling.

If you head over to rivals.com there's a paid site for each team with a private board. Obviously, some are more active than others and there are competitor sites out there as well...but it's the same experience that you're describing.

I've been on those boards for about 20 years now and it's exactly what you describe. Regulars who talk some sports, but also news, random conversation, recommendations for contractors (since many of the members live within 100 mile orbit of the Clemson), advice on investments and fiances, restaurants, etc.

It's worth every penny for the resource it's been.

In no way does it make sense to blame the courts for doing their job. The authority for these stay at home orders is by and large derived from temporary emergency powers granted by legislative authority in the first place. If the legislatures want the governor to have this power, they will grant it. It is trivial to do so. Legislatures are not doing their job, blame them.

In fact, blame the governor as well for not acting within the clear boundaries of their power. By trying to cloak themselves in authority they know is not legitimately theirs, they are actively contributing to the problem. The one party blameless in this is the courts.

The spot price hasn't been anywhere near $1,200 for more than a year. 15 years ago the spot price was around $400.

Gold went from ~$400 in 2005 to ~1,300 in 2019. That is about 3x.

S&P 500 went from ~1,100 in '05 to ~3,000 in 2019. Also about 3x.

Gold is doing fine. And turned out to be a much better bet than stocks after including 2020 :D.

And if you want to put a bitcoin price chart side by side a gold price chart over the last 2 years it sorta speaks for itself. Gold went up. Bitcoin went all over the shop, averaging flat. If you want to call 2 years cherry picking be my guest, but it hasn't been a performer recently. It isn't a point of contention that Bitcoin is up infinitely from 2005.

Is there a reason you can't already do this with windows (which are a visual grouping of tabs)?

You're right that cycling through tabs and making individual decisions on closing each one has a high cognitive load. Closing an entire window is much easier.

A while ago I realized this, and started to front-load that cognitive effort and make sure that the "root" of each "subject" gets opened in a new window (or at least detached early enough once I realized that I was branching off into a new subject).

An example of the root of a subject could be an item in an issue tracker, and that window could also contain tabs for code search windows, Google searches on that topic, Stack Overflow answers, etc. Once I'm done fixing the bug, I just close the entire window/subject/group, without thinking about each individual tab.

The front page of HN is also usually the root of a subject. I'll open tabs for articles and comment pages, and then close the whole window once I'm done with my break and want to go back to work. If there's something particularly interesting that I want to save for later, I'll detach that tab and close the rest.

For the C++/RAII people, this is kind of like making sure that every object has an owner, and that memory is freed when those objects go out of scope. This is a lot easier than manually doing a mark-and-sweep over all your tabs :)
Hmm, browsing "top" of last month just kind of convinced me that real "hailcorporate" material is much much more rare than I expected
Maybe, but I'm allowed to like more than one language, no? :)

But seriously, I don't think AOT can ever match a JIT on peak performance without reducing the abstraction level and significantly increasing programmer burden, and much of Java's design is around "we automatically turn RAM into speed." It's a great value proposition for huge swathes of the software industry, but I don't think it's necessarily the best strategy for niches that require performance and are RAM-constrained.

I like Java and I like low-level programming even though it requires more effort regardless of language.

The wallpaper, and the three papers that came before it, are now stripped. The wall is in rough shape post-strip, and I'm repairing it. This room is on its way to perfection.

I've never done this before, and had no idea how much fun it is. There is no mistake that can't be fixed, and the instruction on YouTube is amazing. I'm having to reel myself in a bit, because I keep on noticing other things I'd like to fix myself. :)

Indeed British [and especially English] politics is indeed a good example of the lockdown itself being depoliticised. The UK politicians who want to end the lockdown sooner rather than later sit on the right of Johnson's party, so they make their arguments quietly, in economic terms, and mostly behind closed doors. Johnson's natural political instincts might be sympathetic to them, but he's also sympathetic to the arguments of his scientists against opening up. The left overwhelmingly supports the principle of a lockdown, so their criticisms of Johnson focus on the details of his decision making and communication. Public support for the lockdown isn't as universal as political support for some sort of lockdown, but only a handful of people turned up to London's anti-lockdown protests and nobody influential saw any political benefit to encouraging them.
