Game developers know how to make smooth and performant UI, to say nothing of the rest of what goes into writing a game engine, particularly a fast GPU-accelerated engine. I’m starting to think it’s primarily a cultural thing, where it’s just become acceptable in the web dev and Electron app world to ship sluggish, resource-intensive apps. I also feel like more corners are cut and performance issues swept under the rug when devs are not staring down the barrel of the hardware on a daily basis.
There is no performance issues with WSL2. It was only the case with the first version of WSL.
It's eye opening how most trivial functionally equivalent code generates practically identical native binary output regardless of the language, be it C, Java, Javascript or .NET.
That's a misunderstanding of the slippery slope logical fallacy.

The slippery slope fallacy is when someone says that the causal chain A to B to C will necessarily play out.

It's not a fallacy if they're arguing instead for its plausibility.

The fallacy also doesn't assert that slippery slopes don't exist and never play out in reality.

So it's false to say that the slippery slope as a concept is itself a fallacy. That doesn't follow from the slippery slope logical fallacy as it's formally defined.

Is this targeted only to people knowledgable in chemistry and "nano stuff"?

I feel like I would be a target audience (games that do real world science and a greater good mixed with some cool looking hardware gadget, hell yeah) and I have children that would probably be interested in such thing.

But even after this extra explanation I don't understand what is the thing actually doing. What is the exact game mechanism? Do I only observe things; do I score better if I am fast or smart; what is the bio stuff in those things and how does it affect the games?

Could you maybe explain it like I'm five? Without using the words nano and molecular and bio and dna :)

I think it's important that you raised your point, but I don't see that Xiaomi providing stock android phones and the ability to unlock the bootloader on their MIUI phones forgives them from the clear privacy issues highlighted in the original post, particularly given that the vast majority of their customers stick with the default/popular option.

What does that even mean? Going threw the NASA certification? Why would NASA even do that?

There is capsule that could even launch on the rocket that currently exists.

We will see if it is a good market and if they will be able to execute.
The only company I would trust with home automation at this point is IKEA. They're the only ones doing this who are actually in the business of making their customers' homes nice, rather than collecting and monetizing their customers' data.

(And now I'm half expecting someone to respond that IKEA also collects our data. I don't know if they do, and I'd expect them not to, but I'd really like to know if they do.)

This would be insane for anyone outside of HN. $10 a month for a 5 person chat? They know everyone can get this free elsewhere for decades now? A 5 person Signal group would even have higher security.
> Autofill is relatively poor (it fails even on HN!).

Autofill is much more customizable than LastPass afaik. You can both define how (domain)name matching should occur as you can have multiple entries to match.

This means you can have instagram.com (as website) and androidapp://com.instagram.android (as app) which will use the same autofill entry.

If you configure name matching correctly, any site should
be able to provide autofill. My HN entry does match with news.ycombinator.com with default matching settings. But matching settings include hostname / domain name / starts with and even regex!

> Also, Lastpass has a convenient timed expiry that doesn't work (well) on Bitwarden (BW will expire the login when the browser is closed).

You can specify BW timeout settings. Even further, you can define if BW should lock the session (only a password is required to unlock) or if a sign-out is required. With a sign-out, you also need to provide your MFA if applicable.

Time outs can happen directly (after autofill), after an amount of time (1/5/15/30 minutes or 1/4 hours) or upon closing the browser.

So tbh, there is plenty to configure Bitwarden to suit your needs.

> When you touched a Razr or a Palm phone, there was a delay. It felt sluggish and slow. Apple removed the delay between your finger tapping the screen and something happening. Your finger could finally manipulate the UI in realtime, just like in the real world. It felt magical. If there was even a slight delay, the whole experience fell apart.

A very strange phone to reference. First iPhone was slow as molasses with all of the excessive visual effects.

It was only around OMAP iphones when they first got proper hardware acceleration.

Palms were noticably faster than WinMo 6, and WinMo 6 was faster than 5 which was indeed painful to use because of input lag.

Ironically, Android is still somwhat slower than WinMo 6 on input lag despite every trick Google is throwing on it.

I read somewhere they even tried to wire the input layer directly to hardware acceleration to make scrolling less laggy.

A technique I learned from Tanenbaum's operating systems book back in the day, that has served me well over the years, is to come up with the theoretical maximum and compare it to a naive implementation.

For example right now I have to deal with a data interface provided by a partner company. The theoretical limit of the interface should be 1.625 MB/s. If we were to stupidly copy our numeric streaming data over, we would be within our timing budget, and optimizing this would be optional.

However, the implementation of the partner company only reaches 0.1MB/s max. So their "smart" implementation/interface is only 6% efficient, or in other words could be 16 times better. That really helps putting things into perspective, and turns management's bullshit filter on, when the partner company says "you can buy this from us if you want more performance" or "that's just the limit of the hardware".

I'm on Gab because Twitter was banning users like zerohedge and random joke accounts for seemingly no (or very little) reason.

I literally just post about finance on Gab and I've never personally seen anything hateful on there. I'm not saying it doesn't exist - I don't follow those kinds of users anyway - but I've seen plenty of hate on Twitter and I've never felt Gab was particularly hateful or radical.

2. Go to Developer options -> Drawing

> Additionally, a smaller rocket is useful for some human spaceflight applications. If you only need to launch two astronauts in orbit to fix a satellite, it’d be nice to have a smaller rocket option.

That's a nice theory. But that requires an actual capsule that is capable of all of these things. If you want to repair a sat, you need a EVA suit and so on.

Its very unlikely to be cheaper to repair a sat with human, then to simply launch another one, or launch a human controlled robot.

Also, such a capsule does not exist, and if SpaceX is any indication, development of such a capsule would cost 1-2 billion at least, do do it according to NASA spec.

RocketLab does not have that kind of money and I don't see NASA or private financing come up with that.

> Starship is awesome. But we don’t have JUST 757s and 777s. We also have smaller utility aircraft.

While that is true, its not an analog. From Starship once you are in Orbit you can do all that stuff too.

There are already companies like Momentus and others who whole business is to make connecting flights.

RocketLab might be in a good position to be 'second best' and launch stuff that people don't want to put on SpaceX rockets. They will have to compete with New Glenn for that.

I wish them luck.

Where they will get an engine that capable, in that short a time is also really questionable to me. Maybe they are already deep in development, but it doesn't seem like it.

In my experience the hacker usually gives you the exploit for free, but asks for a bounty. Aggressive ones may say that you should pay them with the implication that they may name and shame you if you don't.

Others will only agree to share the exploit if you pay, but I have always assumed that it is a scam or a really lame vulnerability.
Sure you might not be able to write 100% of the documentation in one go and then the code, but AFAIK that's neither the goal or the intention of DDD, it's more like "document a bit, write a bit, repeat".

The way I do it is first write a draft of the documentation, of how I want the API to look like. Then check if that basic code is possible (which I can predict most of the times based on experience), then write some more docs or methods. When writing a lib I normally already know where I want to use it, so I can put example snippets from how I want to use it as the documentation first and then try to implement those methods.

Examples of libraries I've written mostly this way:

There is one very niche area that Prime is quite good and it's their VR app. I have Prime on my Oculus Quest and they've really nailed the player itself, it's like being in an actual cinema. Netflix also have a very good VR app, but none of the other streaming platforms I use have put in any effort in this regard.
That's not the full story. WSL2 has serious regressions in cross-OS performance, and many users have switched back to WSL1, which supposedly isn't going away any time soon.
For Netflix it has a lot to do with how they integrate with the TV's. They tend to integrate directly with the chipset vendor, and then ship their own SDK that the TV vendors integrate. Everyone else is relegated to use the terrible shitty webapps like development with no debugging capability. So for Smart TV's at least, Netflix is on a whole different level than everyone else.
They are not only displayed, they are hard coded and there is usually 2 separate videos (dubbed and subbed) for non-Japanese content. That being said, new content is starting to have multiple audio and subtitle tracks (like Netflix).

According to an IA blog post in 2016 [1], they had partial backups in Egypt and the Netherlands then and were planning to establish a partial mirror in Canada as well. Perhaps someone at the IA can tell us what the current status of those mirrors is.

Brewster Kahle does mention in the video (around 26:50) that one reason they use paired storage is so that the two disks in a pair can be in different countries. He then goes on to praise “Linux and the wonder of open source”; he recently blogged about that, too [2].

What does that have to do with anything? The link above is a collection of screenshots of incitement of violence happening on twitter.

VS Code uses Electron and I can't say I've noticed any performance problems with it - indeed it is quite a bit faster for me than its native-code relative Visual Studio.

Oh yeah, I am aware of that but not using Android for 4 years now. But I think I'll buy a cheap Xiaomi device and play with Android again. Xiaomi optimize their phones quite a bit (even if you have to fight with their ROM to be less spyware).

The Falcon Heavy has 27 engines and works fine.

Its not the number of engines that is the problem.

The problem is how efficient is your engine, how is the Trust-to-Weight ratio.

Ask HN: How do you synchronize configurations for software running remotely?
For example:

It would be for political motives if the stage would somehow reward you, like bumping you up in the list for villas or fancy cars, or just having "good person, rats on their family" in your file for later.

Denouncing crimes, especially crimes some people consider to be among the worst possible, against democracy, even when committed by close family members, is purely a matter of personal choice and conscience.
On a somewhat related note, most people aren't aware that you can easily figure out direction (i.e., "which way is North?") using just your wristwatch -- an analog one, not your smart watch!

I learned that one as a kid in Boy Scouts and it somehow stuck in my mind -- and there were a few times throughmy life that it came in handy.

Of course, it's less useful now that we all have a smartphone with a compass GPS in our pockets.

(And if you're unlucky enough to not be wearing your wristwatch when you get lost, you can find your way using nothing more than a stick in the ground -- but this method will take longer as you'll have to wait 20 or 30 minutes.)

(And if it's night -- meaning you can't use either of the two
methods above, you'll have to rely on the North Star.)
