Removed it and other animations when render and animation speed became an issue and I focused on optimizing render speeds. Then I never got around to putting them back in. Like, a webgl version of this could probably have a hundred times more hexagons and you wouldn't lose any FPS. But in SVG, it's weird. Biggest surprise, Chrome is finally slow at something - SVG renders - whereas FireFox blazed right through it.

Then a very polite Canadian kid I met on a minecraft server helped me with it, tracing the fundamental issues (thanks, BubbyMK2!). Apparently using rectangles (svg:rect) is particularly slow in SVG, because it forces a redraw outside its clipping boundary. But if you draw a rectangle as a path, no sweat. Or some such.
Interesting! Will you update on the process on eg Twitter?
I don’t understand something about showbiz.

Tons of fans of shows like The Tick and Limitless have wanted it to continue. They would watch it, and so on. Someone made a decision to pull the plug.

Similarly, I have never seen anything other than gushing reviews and can’t-wait expectations of the Cadillac Ciel since the 2011 pebble beach show, but then the company never produced it, instead creating some sort of coupe. The Ciel was only ever seen in that Entourage movie.

The phenomenon of not listening to the fan base is real. But here is my question...

WE ARE IN THE AGE OF DECENTRALIZATION AND DEMOCRATIC GOVERNANCE. Why not have a platform where people raise money for shows, and whatever budget that is, the show makes episodes for it? Like Patreon meets kickstarter, or Patreon with a loan component for future shows.

That way, the only way a show would get canceled is if it went bankrupt and was unable to pay its loans from its Patreon-like revenues.

More generally, some company has the infrastructure (which is centralized for now, like Netflix) and we have to rely on it being magnanimous enough to let the public have a say. Teams to create shows come together as gigs anyway. We explored using such business models for software back in 2016:

https://qbix.com/blog/2016/11/17/properly-valuing-contributi...

But today, can’t you just use the Web multicasting for publishing/streaming the end result, or hosting it on some networks as a commodity hosting, and then production of the show would be funded using cryptocurrency?

How expensive would it be to acquire rights to a Netflix show that was canceled? Why would they not simply give it away for some equity in the new crowdfunded show? It would be like IPOing a show after piloting the first couple seasons. It would become a business model.

Why would this not work to bring back fan favorite shows, and create communities around them too? Why do we NEED centralized stuff like Netflix AT ALL?
This is a really insightful take that I feel most other commenters miss. The intuitive metric of views is not what is good for Netflix's bottom line, quite the opposite. The best customer for Netflix is the one who stays subscribed but never uses it.

I believe the reason most people miss this is that for traditional networks, more viewers are strictly better; more viewers result in more ad revenue, and the marginal cost of an additional viewer is zero. For Netflix however, this is inversed: an additional viewer does not add any revenue (assuming they were already subscribed), but still adds cost.

The economic model of Netflix seems to be at odds with user interests.
As someone who used to live and sail on a sailboat by myself, this would scare the bejesus out of me in the middle of the night if it wasn’t accurately marked.
Quest and Quest 2 can play Steam games like Alyx. Since X-Plane is on Steam, I'm going to tentatively say yes. You just need to buy a PC link cable for the Quest. You can get away with a wireless to PC link... but you'll get more lag
I've no doubt they have license to do so without damaging their careers. That doesn't make it a good take.
"There will be a pandemic" is a prediction with 100% accuracy. Any rare event, as Taleb likes to hang his entire career on, will eventually happen.

But such a prediction is basically worthless without a horizon. Information about when a pandemic happens affects what actions have to be made to deal with it. Pandemics that definitely happen tomorrow require far more expensive and disruptive actions than ones happening sometime in the next decade with gradually increasing probability.

Tetlock's work is about people who actually have to define a date and for whom the deciding measurements are objective. You can't just say "a pandemic!", you have to say "a pandemic is declared by WHO on or before January 1st, 2019".

In fact, Tetlock's data undermines Taleb's entire thesis that dramatic events are systematically under-predicted. He showed that dramatic scenarios are over-predicted by experts. They have higher emotional salience, and history that is taught focuses on dramatic, outlier events because of their disproportionate impact. Due to availability bias and hindsight bias, experts typically predict that dramatic events will happen more frequently than they actually do. Such predictions are regularly roflstomped by hilariously simple forecasting methods like "yesterday's weather" or fitting a line on a handful of data points.

As I said earlier: Taleb has anecdotes and insults. Tetlock has data.
Yev from Backblaze here -> what a fascinating question! You need storage to "generate" the data, and you need storage to "store" the data - so this is a fun thing to ponder!

Definitely. As the author wrote, there are some similarities in organizational structure, but:

>An APT is literally the instantiation of a nation state’s will. It is not a toolchain.

At that point you can't really think in terms of cybercrime or law enforcement. You're basically up against one or more of a nation's military units (whether or not the particular actors are technically civilian or military personnel).

It's not that it can't do anything, it's that you have to actually implement things at a lower level. I mean, Gatsby doesn't have any backend CMS out of the box so that's the most obvious thing. If you want to use Gatsby for clients who want to be able to manage their content, you have to select and integrate one.

But even for me, who doesn't need a backend GUI stuff like a contact form was a pain. Luckily I host with Netlify and they have an easy form solution but imagine that across many other situations even for a somewhat simple site. Now you're having to set up accounts with all these other services when before it was all contained in one place. All for what? The benefit doesn't seem substantial enough to me to give all of that up.

Even if you use WordPress as the backend, you've still got to deal with integrating it's API which is more work than something generating all the markup you need etc...
That could be a good thing if points represented healthy decisions you've made about your life
As a former educator, that is a horrible way to deal with that situation. The kid learns the wrong lesson and feels terrible about it. Lazy adult "solutions" like that can traumatize children.

The proper solution is just tell the kid to take a breather without stating a reason (maybe tell them privately how to notice on their own when they are overworking themselves). The other kids won't notice or care.

(And if some kid is looking for an excuse not to do the exercises... why are they even there? And who cares? It's an extracurricular, the point is to get out of it what you put in. It's not boot camp.)
> school is miserable

absolutely, agreed.

> saying hello to a friend isn't a moral travesty

I'll be honest: if you didn't grow up in a school like this, you don't understand how disruptive it is for a student to burst into the classroom in the middle of the teacher explaining something and go around high-fiving everyone in the classroom with the teacher powerless to stop them. This was not an infrequent occurrence.

Not trying to be pedantic but where do you see this? I do not see the SE even listed in Apple's refurbished store anymore and I am struggling to find any documentation or evidence suggesting it is available thru Apple authorized resellers (no inventory I can find at ATT, T-Mobile, Verizon, etc)

FWIW I've been using a 2016 SE since... 2016, and I bought a spare one from Apple's refurbished clearance in 2019 when it became clear the phone would no longer be available outside ebay/grey market. If it's been silently available this whole time at any authorized seller that'd be huge news to me.
Wikipedia says "Since the early 1990s [Erik Naggum] was also a provocative participant on various Usenet discussion groups".
If you can't find him, maybe he's still outside of the window that is currently being offered, evidently ending in 1991.
The point being that it was a long process that took centuries during the last few of them was irreversible. That long process and its subsequent conclusion was perceived as positive event for most of its subjects, and in some important aspect it really was.

This looks like an authenticated proxy. I assume you would need to locally reconfigure your clients (ssh, browser, whatever) to use the Boundary server as a proxy.
The sample "Hiring Pipeline" chapter says that auto-rejections from ATS systems are a "myth" and that most/all resumes are screened by a human. Is this really true? I'm suspicious.

The next sample chapter even contains an anecdote strongly suggesting it's not a myth:

> With how the recruitment industry is going with ATS systems, one-touch-tooling, and AI, it’s all about optimizing the top of the funnel to streamline the workflow. In this setup, it is key that you have a resume where a machine can identify that you have 80% of what the company is looking for.
iPhone 11, SE (2020), and XR also lose in-box chargers and EarPods
This is definitely what I would consider as an edge case (at least I'd assume so). I agree that 30% seems aggressive but something like 10-15% seems more normal imo.
Perhaps we are. But don't do it on HN.
Thanks for the link. I'm not familiar with that case so there is some further reading for me to do!
It looks awesome, and very necessary. But isn't it sad that we've got to the point that so much effort - and a whole industry - has to go into this very meta side of work, time that is not spent doing something that actually produces something? All of this just to get to the point where you can get an interview to get a job to then start doing something productive for the world?

Again, not to take anything away from the book itself, which looks great. Just a comment on the work world today, I guess.
This is the norm and has been happening for the last 8 years.

> Across the country, more than 2,000 polling places closed between the 2012 and 2016 general elections… for every 10 polling places that closed in the rest of the country, 13 closed within the jurisdictions once under oversight [of the Voting Rights Act]. Policies that introduce barriers to voting — like Texas’ strict voter ID requirements and North Carolina’s elimination of same-day registration and limits on early voting — have been widely criticized for discouraging minority voters, who disproportionately vote Democratic. The vast majority of the jurisdictions once under federal supervision are in states with GOP leadership.

> About a third of all counties that used to be subject to the Voting Rights Act reduced their per capita number of polling places from 2012 to 2016, compared to only a fifth of the rest of the jurisdictions… Some of the most egregious examples of counties closing a significant percentage of their polls are in Arizona. Phoenix-area Maricopa County initially slashed its polling places by 70 percent before the state’s 2016 primary election, spurring a DOJ investigation. [1]

That’s a helpful analogy, thank you.
I don't have an alley where I live in LA, but we have bins at least
For simulation type jobs where you are solving PDEs for some kind of nontrivial domain:
* universities sometimes have scientific programmers
* national labs in your country will definitely have some people doing such work
* big names in industry, engineering and manufacturing e.g. in the past petroleum exploration companies used to hire quite a few people
* boutique consulting firms that you never heard of (you need to do a lot of research in your area to find them)
* Mathworks and similar names that develop engineering software

For programming jobs including some math in general, well I'm jumping on the hype train that is ML/DL because the jobs are more numerous and pay better even when factoring in the currently hype.
Fortran and BASIC at the time were, in many ways, the antithesis to his ideas of what a programming language should be.

They did not permit recursion (direct or indirect). Almost by design they encouraged spaghetti code (the thing Structured Programming was meant to work against). They encouraged (or required) global state. They discouraged modularity. They were effective languages (in the sense that people got stuff done in them), but they were poor languages when compared to the capabilities of their contemporaries.
There are corals that live in warmer waters such as in the Red Sea which has some of the warmest sea water on earth. There are also groups doing research on ways to help corals adapt to higher temperatures [1]

I also wonder if we'll start to see the GBR move south along the coast of Australia as waters that were previously not favorable to corals are now starting to warm.

The other problem in addition to warming is that as CO2 levels rise pH of seawater is going down. Hard corals require a pH that is somewhat alkaline (around 8.3 is ideal).

Of course they did. It's all just an honest misunderstanding on the part of election officials, and voters hacking the election procedures and inconveniencing themselves deliberately for... reasons. None of that sounds completely crazy.
> ... is it any surprise that FB would aim to try to take itself out of the equation as much as possible? What is the upside for them here?

How is arbitrarily deciding what gets promoted or demoted "taking itself out of the equation"? It's literally the opposite. They're deliberately downplaying a story to prevent its spread. What's nuts is the Facebook communications director says so explicitly too!
No.

While you can tell a tighter story in the shorter format a TV series for me is not only about the main Plot. It is also about building a rich world. Getting to know the characters besides the main plot, getting to know the side characters.

As the other commenter pointed out, The Good Place, like Schitt's Creek, had planned arcs that naturally concluded.

Many broadcast shows that are constantly on the bubble write their season finales to double as series finales in case they don't get renewed, see for example within just the past 2 seasons: Brooklyn 99 (cancelled but renewed by different network), Fresh off the Boat, Lucifer, Single Parents, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Lethal Weapon, Star, The Orville (cancelled by Fox, picked up by Hulu, cancelled by Hulu but given final season pickup).
There's been a lot of talk about antitrust investigations and regulating big tech. I think one really useful step would be to require multiple methods of authentication with devices like this. Oculus shouldn't require a Facebook account to use.
For one, I can use them as a speaker for my non-Apple devices. My household is almost entirely Apple products, but considering I have a few devices I would like to occasionally pair like a PC, it makes more sense to buy a home assistant/speak device from Google or Amazon that will work with everything I own, rather than a Homepod that will work with 90% of what I own, even if I like everything else about the Homepod more.
But we were told it would save lives and was for saving the world?

That means it's completely impossible for such things to be a lie doesn't it?

As long as you say something is for saving the world or doing good and accuse all others who might raise questions about it of being terrorists/communists/racists/nazis etc it simply has to be true doesn't it?

I mean as long as someone just says something is to save lives or for justice or to save the world you have to completely accept it without question don't you?

You don't question it at all right?

Or else that would make you pure black hearted evil wouldn't it?

To take something done in the name of good intentions and apply rational thought and reasoning to it in the interest of affirming whether or not it would actually do good for the world or others or to achieve its goals makes you the literally the equivalent of a rapist doesn't it?

I mean I just got done reading a recent hn article https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24714880 that is completely unrelated in any way whatsoever at all to anything mentioned above and I am completely shell shocked, dumbfounded!

I mean how could this happen?

Seriously, we were told it was to save lives?

And it was said by people in official positions with credentials; which means it is literally physically impossible to be wrong in any way at all, we all know this is true!

This is why I decided a few years ago to not ever even start watching new series. I hate the cliffhangers; I hate the one-episode-a-week shit; I hate the split seasons; I hate the waits even when the series is probably coming back. Best to wait for something like Breaking Bad to finish its entire run, and read how everyone liked it, including the ending, and then start watching the first episode. There is an overwhelming amount of good content from the past, more than I will ever be able to watch.

ALTHOUGH. Rick and Morty hooked me anyway. Love that show, and so pissed at how long it took to finish out this past season when it was delayed.

You got plenty of choices, luckily. None being escapist neither implying you having to back down as some of the answers here imply, though there were some valuable advices you were given. All choices and solutions basically revolve around not working at a corporation. Join a small company, go contracting / freelancing. They do imply short term discomfort, bear a certain level of risk, yet they yield great dividends.
I somewhat agree with you, but I also think this is different from complaining about the representation of women or black people. Historically most superheroes have been white men. If all contemporary superhero shows had 50% women heroes and 30% non white, it would seem dissonant as fuck, but it wouldn't even remotely be evidence of a "pro-diversity bias".
NYC reduced their murder rate by an order of magnitude in just a few years. That is exceptional. There were several things that happened during these years, among them the expanded police force, much more aggressive stop and frisk to get people to stop take guns to the streets, and after the murder rate had started dropping they started with the broken window policy.

Ugh, the popular vote. It's such a mistake, even in this form with the compact and I really wish people would realize it.

Put it this way: what happens (and this will happen) when the popular vote is ridiculously close? We had a preview of this in Florida in 2000 when a few thousand votes decided the election. Now imagine the litigation, the endless recounts and the uncertainty but it engulfs the entire country. Imagine an election decided by less than 10,000 votes and litigants try to scrounge up a few dozen votes in every county in the country.

As much as people like the crap on the electoral college it has (thus far) done one thing well: and that is to create w winner. Creating a winner is _way_ more important than creating the "right" winner.

The one big problem with the electoral college is that the Founders never envisioned the huge population disparities we have today ie California has >500 times the population of Montana, Vermont or North Dakota.

There are legitimate issues with the electoral college. A national popular vote for president is not the answer.

It absolutely is easy compared to staying and fighting for a better future. Also if you think there's anywhere you can run where things like the fascist tide, globalization, and white supremacy cant reach you you're extremely naive. It would be far better for your child to grow up in a better world, and know how to fight for that, than to grow up on some shrinking islet of comfort without learning anything from their parents except how to run. Good things don't just spring up out of nowhere, they're built and fought for.

Furthermore, the people of comfort in the US (read: the people who have the means necessary to leave) are largely the same people who have benefited from this extremely racist/violent system. That is almost true by definition... For those they very people who are most comfortable because of the exploitation in this country to deem it 'too uncomfortable' and leave is just incredibly gross. It has been far less comfortable for the people being oppressed, who could never dream of having the means to move, than it has been for you forever.
