> For example, I live a town with population of 500K (200km away from Delhi) and while repairing my car, the mechanic told me he will go to Delhi and try getting the spare part from Junkyard owners.

> Maybe guys from Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore don't have this problem but majority of Indian population still lives in small towns and villages where finding 1 used part at affordable price can save a business or medical equipment (life). What are the technical people in small towns are supposed to do? Run to Delhi and Mumbai each time you need a spare part?

> Such a waste of human efforts, my mechanic could have instead bought it on eBay from a junkyard owner who is also a seller on ebay through courier if eBay like website existed.

Ebay doesn't handle this well in the US either. I would love to use ebay as a junkyard metasearch engine.
Expert athletes are able to offload much of the mental processing of their game to the subconscious. We all do this to some degree (most of us aren't solving differential equations in real time to catch a ball), but great athletes are able to do this for many more sport specific tasks than casual players.

Here's a mindblowing video of Ronaldo making a goal in complete darkness after only seeing the first few milliseconds of the ball path:

Thanks, jamendo seems not be free of charge though.
It's not a requirement but it is the common convention.

Wikipedia has stricter style guidelines that go against that convention but in the absence of such a style guide on HN, one can see why common convention would typically be followed.

Agree in general though; I don't know why this convention exists and suspect we may be better off without it.
You cannot argue that “Bitcoin is money” if, in order to do any of the money stuff, you need to add something that is explicitly “off chain.”

Bitcoin already does the money things as you call it, being able to send any amount of value to anyone else without requiring 3rd parties.

You can send $1 million worth of BTC anywhere in the world in minutes and the fee right this very minute is $5.94 for a high-priority transaction. But if you had any doubt of ensuring the transaction gets into the next block, you could easily start with a fee of $15, which is a trivial amount for a $1 million transaction.

But for use cases where the fees and speed are problematic—you might need to wait 10-15 minutes for a transaction confirmation—there's Lightning Network which clear instantly and the fees are fractions of pennies.

The "off-chain" comment is misleading; Lightning's payment channels require a base layer transaction to open and close them; it's the transactions that happen in the channel that aren't on the base layer because the entire world doesn't want to see every cup of coffee anyone of us purchases on a global immutable blockchain.

Once one of us (me or the other party in the payment channel) have decided to close the channel—like paying a tab at a bar—the end result of transactions hits the main bitcoin blockchain.

> Margolin and Werth felt that Courtois was "obsessed" with arriving at a total of 100 million killed which resulted in "sloppy and biased scholarship"

So he pretty much decided the "100 million" figure would make a good soundbite and then digged or made up stuff to back it.

He counts Soviet WWII dead as casualties of communism. That tells you everything you need to know about that book.

The funny thing is how every atrocity and tragedy committed in "Marxist-Leninist countries" is the fault of communism, but atrocities and tragedies in capitalist countries are not... As if untold millions didn't die of man-made famines and preventable diseases in capitalist countries, as if scores of genocides and repressions weren't ordered by the US during the cold war (and indeed before). Come on...

Maybe death-toll dick-measuring isn't the way to go.
Wow, 1994 was already so late for people to be cluing in... I remember a recruiter for a private IT/CS university coming to my parents place when I had just finished high school, 1992 or 1993. I asked them if they had Internet on their campus, and they had no idea what I was talking about. That's how I knew to stay away, I had already been on Usenet & email (via UUCP) for 2 years and was on the Internet (IRC, MUDs, MOOs, etc) via a local campus dialup for a while at that point.

But of course this was all pre-WWW. And in those days it was mostly scientific institutions, schools, and research centres that were online. There was no advertisement allowed, and there just wasn't commercial activity at all.
That's funny, I grew up about 100m away. Small world. :-)

I was recently shopping for a USB hub, and Anker and Aukey had what appeared to be the exact same offering with different branding. It made me believe that they use the same OEM, but I'm not sure whether that's actually the case since I'm not familiar with their engineering and manufacturing processes.

At large companies the culture and expectations are not uniform across business units. Which is why I was careful to specify pockets vs. a global experience.

I worked one jib where the titles were odd. I was a 'Senior member of Technical Staff' Reality was I was a SW team leader / project manager. The job labels on your resume are to frame out what you say you did at the job. If your title and your work do not match, then it will cause issues in matching you to the right job.

One place I worked at regularly gave out new titles, same job just a 'new and improved' title.

Did you time travel from the 1800's? The standard of living of nearly everyone on the planet is light-years ahead of "trampled". Food, water, energy are thriving and growing. Life expectancies are stabilizing and the majority of everyone on earth is living better. We owe it all to capitalism and the free market.

Quoting old ideologies is getting wearying. From screeds about 'labor' (its becoming extinct; what about Marxism then?) to imperialism (the majority of countries in the world are democracies) to blaming the rich for success.
Is this basically the German version of Consumer Reports ?

I skimmed a couple of the top hits on GScholar, seems like it’s mostly used as an epitaxial substrate for growing thin film functional materials like BaSnO3. Crystals that would be interesting to research as potential ferroelectric or multiferroic devices, that sort of thing

Thinking about this actually makes me sick to the stomache.
A great case study. The Fiat looks respectably small until you see the original which looks like one of those cozy coupes that they sell for toddlers. The comparison is sobering. Not only that, but in the interior too, the controls and dials are beautifully neat and thin in contrast to the modern version.
Yeah, I realise I could do that. But I'd prefer to just play the game and reward the author financially for the convenience.

Another really good article on the subject of deterministic lockstep multiplayer here: https://www.gafferongames.com/post/deterministic_lockstep/

In particular, he talks a lot more about problems in floating point determinism, which was missing from the posted article IMO. It is possible to make it work without resorting to fixed point, however it is a big pain point.

Simple question: do you attribute all preventable or violent deaths under capitalism to the ideology of capitalism? If yes you probably have over billions of deaths since the ~1600s.
I don't really understand the concept here. Taken to the extreme: a murderer is acquitted then the next day concrete evidence is found proving their guilt 100%, do they still walk free because they can't be tried again?
More Advanced Intelligent Life Could Exist Right Here on Earth
Unfortunately most people these days have joined a “tribe” and they need to maintain their beliefs to feel like part of the tribe.

Watch “behind the curve” for a good example of this.

The only way to change someone’s mind is to offer them a better tribe to join. Kind of like selling a timeshare.
Hi! Thanks for your comment, I appreciate :) I am considering an option for self hosting. Need to think about it on how to make it work, but for now I am focussing on the hosted solution :)

Games without rules and referees degenerate into brawls.

Similarly, open markets require regulations, enforcement, fair and impartial judiciary (tort), and property rights.

Fraud and counterfeits spoil markets. Lowering trust. Increasing transaction costs. Poorly regulated Freedom Markets™ like eBay and Amazon are net negatives, even while a few thrive on the chaos.

There could be an argument that allowing alternative stores would just mean every app would switch to those and be able to work around Apple's rules and act against consumers' best interests.

However, the fact that Apple only enforces the rules when it benefits them as opposed to consumers (so they are happy to turn a blind eye to spyware, but will crack down immediately on alternative payment options) means that in practice I don't see it making the situation any worse.
Same here, I used to get multiple Amazon packages per week, now I try to avoid them. The only reason I buy from them now is to take advantage of their ultra lax return policies.

It wasn’t just Amazon that changed though. The proliferation of easier payment options (Apple/Google Pay, PayPal) and availability of one-touch credit card autofill on other websites eroded their moat, at least in my case.
There are many E2E IM apps now. Of course you still have to convince people to install them first

I don't think there's any central place or tag that captures this idea properly. Generally games like this tend to happen a lot in roguelike/roguelite tags (https://store.steampowered.com/tags/en/Roguelite/), but they can be anywhere really since theorycrafting/build-making is a very common theme in games.
My poor answer is that articles about Carrington events targeted to the layperson tend to be of poor quality, and you would be best served by looking for peer-reviewed articles. Some authors that come to mind are Overbye or Latingen. The math actually isn't too bad, so a lot of these papers are accessible to people outside the field.
I wish there was a steam tag people used but I think it's too niche lol.

Here it's better to link to the project page https://cofy.stream/ instead of produchunt or other indirect source.

From the comments, the idea to add a calendar or something seams nice.

It also would be nice that the page initially shows the logo and navigation, and after 5 seconds they fade. I was looking at the screen waiting until it loads ...

Picking the color would be nice.

Is there some interesting technical anecdote about the project? Is there any problem to support multiple browsers or screen resolutions? How do you pick the color in rainbow? I guess RGB(Random(256),Random(256),Random(256)) is not a good method.

Also, the title here should be something like "Cofy:
Remove distraction on your second screen and stay focused".
Based on blog post, trans community persistently pushed for trans tag. So they added that one and 350+ tags more. Including veteran and disabled, they are not all about hot button issues.
> The problem here is, I guess, that these tactics do actually work on the short term.

Let's be honest: these tactics work over the long term. When they blow up, you just start again with a new name. Use the same consultant if the last one was good, a better one if a friend of yours did better than you did.
> You can edit templates directly in the browser

Do the templates contain code?

WordPress used to have a feature to edit PHP plugin code through the browser and it was a security nightmare. If you allow code editing, I suggest disabling it by default and when an attempt is made to enable it, send an email to the site admin to confirm before enabling.
Instead of trying to compare to other totally different products, do the comparison to Android. Has any 3rd party appstore affected play store in any way? No. Start your argument from that fact.
Coronavirus lockdown and virus suppression: An international analysis
The source [Google post](https://www.blog.google/inside-google/company-announcements/...) says “ men were flagged for adjustments because they received less discretionary funds than women” so your 50/50 split of n is the most aggressive way to interpret that information.

More likely, we should interpret that to mean that men were found to be more likely to be underpaid (n_men > N_men), and that the appropriate comparison of variance (finding outliers) among men versus women was performed.
Is there a way to do that for every symbol? I'm asking because from what I've read from developers the only reliable way to do this is to compile on an old distribution with an old libc. So either there are problems with using this method or it is very poorly documented.
>> "No notable audio production software or soft synth plugins is Japanese, which is weird, considering that many of their synths are digital in nature (thus contain basically a soft-synth)."

Synth1 is well-known in electronic music.

>> "Same thing in cameras, Nikon, Canon, Pentax, Sony built amazing camera yet the camera software is basically stuck in the 90s, not to mention stuff like Instagram..."

I aim the camera. I press the button. It puts the resulting readings from the sensor in a raw file on the SD card. This has worked without fail for thousands of pictures. The rare times I need to use anything I can't get to with a physical button, they're all easily accessed on a single screen by touch with the i button. What else do I need? They keep piling connectivity junk on, but airplane mode shuts it down.
They're currently in court arguing about how they make users safer by curating the available software. Issues like this don't reflect well on that argument.
Hi! The templates use Liquid, a very simple but powerful markup language based on HTML. It takes a few minutes to learn! It's the same markup used by Shopify - they created it https://shopify.github.io/liquid/

It's very safe though, it cannot execute harmful code :)
Again, that's bull. There is no need for homework.

Maybe in exceptional circumstances to achieve a specific once-off outcome, but not in _any_ way as a routine thing.

Feeling fast, the psychology of computer performance
I really agree. For example in infosec, lots of valuable texts are published on blogs. Then the author spread them via e.g. Twitter. I don’t see that way of publishing going away.
Sounds like they outsourced their production and their producer ran extra shifts on the side.

Or whomever setup their plant setup an extra plant on the side.

Though I increasingly suspect any bad batch gets labelled as a counterfeit to avoid liability.
I had the opportunity to tour in a Trabant once in Krakow (though https://www.crazyguides.com/cars/ - no affiliation, just happened to be their customer).

It is ultimately an interesting car where you can mend quite a lot by yourself, which I think could be useful when touring some remote places (of which Krakow is of not one - a fantastic city BTW)
The act introduced a new power that, among many other things, could force ISPs – upon being ordered to do so by a senior judge – into logging the Internet Connection Records (ICR) of all their customers for up to 12 months (e.g. the IP addresses of the servers you’ve visited and when), which can be accessed without a warrant and occurs regardless of whether or not you’re suspected of a crime.
It always amuses me to find that people are against GMO foods yet almost everything we eat is GMO depending on how you define it.

Almost every crop and livestock has been genetically modified through selective breeding (domestication).

Mutagenesis, which atomic gardening falls under, has been around since the 1920's using x-rays and chemicals and currently doesn't normally fall under most GMO definitions because its "traditional".

There is also profile guided selection, which is just selective breeding while using modern DNA profiling to make it more effective by watching genetic outcomes directly.

Then there is genetically engineered targeted gene insertion which is what most people consider "GMO" but hasn't been shown to cause any health issues, its just scary because it's done in a modern lab.

It's not that I'm against being cautious with genetically engineered organism (testing etc), but what issue are we solving by labeling an GE organism "GMO" vs a mutagenic one, or a selectively bred one? Is there any data to suggest one is more dangerous than the other? I seem to have a hard time finding it.
I also like the way they choose not to offer an easy way to report fake reviews. If you get offers to review someone’s products, Amazon will reliably and quickly delete a review saying that the company solicits fake/paid reviews but if you try to report it any other way you’ll never hear back or see any signs of a change in behavior.
> If a company had the IP of this couple they could link their online activity (most of which is their own) with their name, that's sufficient to spy on them.

If "most" of their online activity is their own, then some of it coming from "their" IP address isn't. You can pretend to be able to identify a person behind an IP address, but that doesn't make it true.
Rossmann is seriously a national treasure. Along with Lex Fridman the two Youtube personalities irrefutably prove fair mindedness, humility & sincerity is valued. My fears that content online would eventually consist of nothing but selfies, food pics & competitive victimhood are somewhat reduced. I'd like to see Rossmann on Fridman's podcast.

Exactly! I find it funny that every now and then someone says that blogging is dead and things like that. I don't see it happening any time soon as well as I don't see people publishing e.g. long form essays etc on Facebook.
Been using Love2d for few years now, and you are right on point that it's great for education.

You can get fun things to happen with few lines of code. The whole API fits into your head, and together with Lua's simplicity this is a powerful combo. Any complexity in code comes from your side. With live reloading, development happens in tight loop with running environment, and this easily drags you into the zone.

At the same time the framework is low level. The included functions cover only interfacing HW and rendering graphical primitives. It's just a thin abstraction layer that greatly simplifies accessing OS features. Everything else like scene management, AI navigation, live code reloading, skeletal animation, common graphics shaders, tile maps, sound management, UI, that's all left out of the framework. Numerous Lua libraries were made to fill in the missing stuff.

You get to pick from different solutions and glue them together with script code. This is very consistent with general Lua mindset. Neither functional constructs nor OOP are not included in Lua, but both can easily be brought in with any of dozen libraries. It creates fractured space and it's kind of bazaar of different tech stacks that are same but different.

Other frameworks and engines (Defold, Solar2D, Roblox) that use Lua all take integrated approach where more of functionality is crammed into engine itself. This is a more closed solution where you aren't supposed to extend the engine much, just script inside it.
A close relative once had a pretty good business hosted on eBay. (I occasionally helped with computer stuff.) Robust enough for a large garage full of inventory and my aunt and uncle to quit their day jobs.

eBay's stewardship of the marketplace started bad and then steadily got worse.

Just fighting the search results, where legit products were buried under SEO and copycats, became a full time job. A little bit of jostling, that's just healthy competition, same as it ever was.

But when legit business has to cheat just to stay afloat, the market's broken.

Eventually, it just wasn't worth the bother.
