What's happened over the last 15 years is that schools keep bumping room and board rates (at nearly 10% year-over-year, which is insane). Since anything outside tuition is taxable, that liability has been increasing. The 'income' of a full-ride scholarship student with parents making less than 25k could be 55-60k+ on paper, which then gets taxed. This leads to income that should be used for food and quality of life, like work study, being used to offset a growing tax liability instead.

So you have students who are poor and working way more than their wealthier counterparts not for savings, emergency funds, money for their family, or food, but simply to offset a tax liability they incur... because they are poor and smart. Absolutely bonkers.

I just don't understand why there isn't an income-based tax exemption on need-based full-rides. Like, ideally a need-based full-ride should have parity with the wealthy students with parents footing the entire bill. It could certainly help with the slightly higher attrition rate for poor students.
Why is a 300GB game size 'ridiculous'? If you scale it for HDD cost and internet speeds over the past 20 years, I'd say game sizes are actually getting more efficient.
For some reason I don't think Apple cares about full stack engineers, or developers in general, unless you are developing for Apple.
Congrats Oxide team! More competition in this space is always a good thing.

I'm curious about management. Can the rack operate completely standalone? I assume when you have multiple there will be some management abstraction above the rack layer?

The closest direct equivalent that I can think of to this is AWS outposts. Are there any others that I'm forgetting?
Yeah this annoys me to no end. I only subscribe to subreddits which have strict moderation. Even those subreddits really struggle to keep up with removing low effort comments because there’s too many.

The cooking subreddit is somewhat okay. They have a no image post rule and that is pretty effective just on its own.
Damn. I was quite skeptical about this whole libera thing: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27208073 This kind of abuse proves that the split was warranted.
Show HN: Board Games with Video Chat
Tl;dr: Would like to hear thoughts on board games platform prototype (https://bordga.me/games/7)

We are building an online board games platform which lets you create & play any board game online while video chatting with your co-players. Game play resembles the real world where users have to do everything from moving the pieces to enforcing the rules.

We are quite early in our journey. We prototyped Chess to see if people would be interested in this direction.

Please try it here! (https://bordga.me/games/7)

You can enter your name that creates a new game session and you can invite others to join the session by sharing the URL.

We are aware of the existing solutions like Tabletopia, Boardgamearena, etc. But we think that human connection which we all enjoy while playing games is missing that’s been the centerpiece of our current direction.

We would like to hear from you about how you would like to use it vs why you wouldn’t use it.
I thought they meant as opposed to, say, emacs where the LSP client has to be installed as a 3rd-party package (eglot or lsp-mode). As you say, the server is in a different process by definition of LSP. I don't know vim but from skimming the article it sounded like, until neovim 0.5, for vim one also had to install the LSP client as a plugin. In VSCode in contrast, the LSP client is native in the sense that it is built into VSCode. That makes a big difference from Emacs at least, because the LSP clients (eglot at least) are still under heavy development.
Ah gotcha. I expected that's what it had to have meant, but it wasn't clear just from looking at the image.
I’d add that it’s impossible to move profiles between accounts.

Broke up recently. What do I do with my former girlfriend’s profile?

Delete it and make her loose her watchlist and where she was in some shows?

Keep it and get that awkward moment when I invite someone over and we want to watch something?

Give her my account and lose my profile?

Ridiculous
I haven't seen a single social media or messaging platform where search didn't suck. Reddit search was bad, after redesign it's just hot garbage. Messenger search is unreliable and near-useless. Facebook search only worked well for the brief moment when they introduced "graph search", but that got quickly killed due to popular outrage. HN's bolted-on Algolia search is the least bad I've seen. And let's not even talk about Twitter, Instagram or Slack.

I'd go as far as saying that search features are being underdeveloped on purpose - perhaps they allow usage patterns that service owners don't like.

But then, Mastodon's search is even worse than Twitter, and that project has no incentive to disenfranchise their users. So I'm honestly confused about all this.

It's a bit more subtle than that.

What saturates is the actuator. You could choose a single minimum/maximum value for the integrator, but it could be better ye to have a value that depends dynamically on how much room there is left in the actuator output.

For example, if the actuator is saturated, the integral term should not be increasing. That could happen at different values of the integral, so there is not a single min/max.
It's probs cheaper than AWS if you already have on prem infra. AWS has pretty damn good margins.

And the idea of "these racks are my kubernetes cluster and are supported by the OEM as such" has a lot of value to a lot of the medium sized IT departments I've run across.

Can you expand on what you mean on "coupling the hardware to the software"?

> Are you aware that carbon credits market ia one big fraud, with "overestimates" averaging 50x?

Carbon credits were a scam from the beginning. ( The same guy promoting them pointed to the market he owned as the solution, Al Gore ) Don't get me wrong they have huge potential but are really a false market at the moment. More like protection money or wealth transfer.

> If I am choosing a washing machine, are they labelled with amount of CO2 emitted in production of each? If the company lies to me about this, does anyone go to jail?

I think arguments like this let the individual again place blame on the manufacturer and not that they are an uneducated consumer ( caveat emptor ). Of course if you purchase a washing machine you must understand it took carbon for the entire production of the machine starting with the excavator that pulled the iron out of the ground to the truck that delivered it. The one that takes 'less' carbon is easy, fix the old one, or don't buy one and go the the coin laundry. But blaming the manufacturer who is currently operating within the governing authorities guidelines is disingenuous.

With git LFS it works fine for game dev. The main thing it still fails at is the artist workflow. Git's solution to check out single files or ignore folders is still experimental and no GUI supports it yet.

I love git but P4 is still better if your workflow is on large single files.

This is not my area of expertise, but it does look like that[0].

That "custom software," though, is where the magic often lies. As a software person that worked at hardware companies for most of my career, I know all too well, how disrespectful hardware people are of software. If they have a good software-respecting management chain, then it might be pretty awesome.

You appear to be 5-10 years out of date. Typescript, VSCode, Lean, are all "microsoft products", and if you think they are inferior you'd have to explain that view to a lot of well-informed people. Even LSP -- the basis of sanity in modern text editing -- originates and is stewarded by Microsoft.

Edit: Microsoft also funds some of the work on the Haskell compiler as I understand it. On the other hand I unfortunately now have to use crap like Outlook and Office 365 at work, so it's not like I don't understand the dismissive "inferior microsoft products" but we really can't say that any longer when talking about development environment tooling (which is what TFA is about) and programming languages.

Does this example help: There is a name defined in Base, e.g. `pop`. In languages that do not use multumethods, when you created your own "FancyContainerLibrary" you need to create a new `pop` and ensure it does not clash with `Base.pop`. In languages with multimethods you just extend `Base.pop` to work on your new type. Julia can do both: it has perfectly normal support for namespaces, but frequently you will be extending Base methods instead of working in your own namespace (of course, all your private functions are usually unexported and available only from your namespace and do not polute the global space).
Native Spanish speaker here: it was very interesting to me to read this way of explaining the difference. I always thought about it as ”ser" for essence and "estar" for state, but reading the comments below made me realise this isn't fully accurate either, but I'd still argue it's closer.
I feel it's a classic example of bikeshedding. Except this is 2021, so the obvious solution is apparently harassment, anger, and vitriol.

Someone up-thread made mention of the stylistic changes being problematic for people with visual impairment or low vision, which would seem to me to be a much more serious issue than a stupid icon.

But, what do I know? When they announced the change, I had an incredibly difficult time feeling anything other than indifference. Why people would be upset is beyond me.

Also in the books. In the beginning, belters were hardly able to live on Earth let alone move around. Later, they colonize planets. So I get why that was dropped as a plot device. And since it was only one scene, it didn't have much of an impact anyway.
Bit of a shift, given that before your earlier comment we were discussing “is Musk and SpaceX being a bit feudal”, but sure.

Military action between the main colony and outliers is going to involve not-yet-invented doctrine and tactics because we don’t yet have enough experience of building such settlements to properly consider what warfare in or between them will look like.

One thing we can say is: anyone who looks like a dictator, and is based on Mars, and who has interplanetary rockets, is a threat to Earth, because while stealth in space can always be beaten by having more sensor coverage, it’s really hard to action that information. Likewise, Mars will see the Terran space marines coming and, depending on industrialisation level, either have a really hard time doing anything about it, or find they’re being preemptively RFG’d to stop them doing that to Earth.

You just didn't dig it.

For example, name me another editor where you can jump in less then a second to any letter of the text ? You always have to click. Contrary to that, editing in vim is like programming since you have editing DSL. All editors provide shortcuts to just some of the editing capabilities (duplicate/delete line, next word, prev word etc.) but not ALL of the imaginable and unimaginable scenarios like vim does, in a way that is instantly programmable to your liking without messing with configuration.
There were a couple color changes made. I'm on the dark theme and this is what I saw:

They made the blue on some buttons more saturated. I don't really have a problem with this.

They made the highlight color of user and channel mentions more brighter. This hurt readability as the text is white. Making the background of the text brighter decreases contrast.
> Project leaders from Ffmpeg, Google, Mozilla, Microsoft (and probably Nvidia and AMD) need to all get together and decide on a single method.

Speaking non-officially as a browser implementer, VUI isn't always reliable as a source of color, both because the encoders don't always know, and the decoders don't always extract it reliably. The container is a more reliable place to put it (eg. MP4 'colr' box).

Browsers do differ in behavior when these sources of metadata differ. It currently looks likely that WebCodecs will require implementations to use app-provided color metadata over in-band metadata, which would be good for interoperability!
looks very fake, but that's a step in the right direction
Are you calling Sam Altman a one trick pony? Quick list of his "tricks":
- founded company, raised $40M
- proved YC can scale
- numerous strong individual investments (Humanyze, Routable)
- CEO of OpenAI leading to $1B investment from Microsoft

If allocating capital well makes someone a one trick pony, then I think we need many more ponies in the world.
I always find it funny that the FED does not consider food and energy in the numbers.

Yes, thanks, I should have added that too.
It used to be called "pollution". Reframing the topic as global warming or climate change was a dedicated effort to soften the language and introduce room for doubt. I mean, everyone agrees that pollution sounds bad and is bad and we should stop doing it. But by calling it climate change, suddenly there's now an avenue to challenge its legitimacy, and shift attention onto the ideological debates. Meanwhile, as everyone is distracted, industry gets a free pass to continue polluting with zero consequences.

jquery was downvoted but I recall articles like this (https://www.theverge.com/2020/1/17/21070848/eu-apple-europea...) with the EU trying to ban any "non-standard" connector.

I'm gonna make a radical suggestion. Maybe just try ditching sunscreen altogether. Yes, it's probably true that exposure to the sun increases the risk of skin cancer. But in the US skin cancer accounts for fewer than 1% of all deaths.

In contrast the quintile of people with the highest exposure to the sun have half the all-cause mortality as the quintile with the lowest sun exposure.[1] In particular sunbathers enjoy significantly lower rates of heart disease, liver cancer, colon cancer, and neurodegenerative disease.

It seems counterintuitive, but it's probably smart to accept the higher risk of skin disease. If you quadruple your skin cancer risk, but lower your heart disease risk by 10%, you're still ahead of the game. Heart disease is 50 times as likely to kill you.

Unless you're going to be outside for very extended periods of time, ditch the sunscreen. It's not needed unless you're at the point of burning. Getting a healthy tan is just that healthy and natural.

Agreed. And the low hanging fruit has already been plucked: improving infant mortality, basic hygiene. My grandparents all lived well into their 80s/are still alive. Realistically speaking, I doubt I'll do much better.

I think a big issue is inflation. As we have more users a niche forum turns into a more general forum. There's some good and bad to this. This has even happened on HN. But there's another problem. If a forum is too small then it doesn't serve its purpose of connecting the right people. I wonder if anyone knows the optimal size/range, or if such a metric exists (under certain criteria of course).
treesitter was the reason why i installed the git version of neovim ;)
it is very good. so happy with with it;)
> The response and cause are inputs in the same system.

But not to the same state. The description is of inflation at T(<n) producing belt-tightening at T(=n). You are complaining that the belt-tightening doesn’t explain the inflation. Of course it doesn’t.

Now, sure, there’s a valid question of “what is causing the inflation”; is it offsetting belt loosening in another group? Is it supply issues?

Typical practice has been to offer long-form content broken by section (typically chapter), with internal section links for finer references.

This balances the history-pollution, pagination, and link-based reference needs.

(There's been some playing with the notion of linking content within web pages by the specific text or string. such as, say, "There's been some playing". With word-based ngrams, 4--5 word sequences are strongly likely to be unique within a work, save for cliched phrases or idioms.)
I can count the number of times I have ever had to charge my laptop with somebody else's cable on one hand. And I've been using laptops exclusively since 2006.

My current laptop (an XPS 9310) has USB-C for charging. But I would be very reticent to ever charge it with somebody else's cable, and without a 'usb condom' I wouldn't even consider charging from some random public cable (e.g. airport charging kiosks.) USB charging for laptops has the same "untrusted cable" problems as USB charging for cellphones.
Sounds like this is by design and not really a newly discovered vulnerability. Maybe more of a discovery of deceptive advertising/documentation? Which is to say that Apple's engineers are reading this as non-news.
Correct, I am glad he is taking initiative on these efforts. He has unilateral ability to do literally anything else with that company or his time or his capital and investors capital, and the team of engineers doing the hard problems would not be doing them or have any way to execute.
For 20 years (ok, more, really), laptops have not been fast enough to do reasonable professional-grade photo editing using standard Adobe tools. The complexity of the algorithms being applied increases at least as fast as the processor power. So, put me down on the side of wishing they'd build a SKU that could be optimized for performance, rather than only power consumption.

(Sometimes a desktop is not practical, like on a remote photo assignment, but there is a power outlet.)
Of the three, my favorites:

* Serif: Bitter (https://www.huertatipografica.com/en/fonts/bitter-ht) or maybe Vollkorn (http://vollkorn-typeface.com)

* Mono: Iosevka

* Sans-serif: maybe Fira Sans Condensed, previously perhaps DTL Prokyon.

I haven't seen any sans-serif fonts I've really loved in recent memory. I feel like most sans-serifs just influence from Helvetica and are really boring, lack character or creativity. I'd love to see if anyone here has any examples of novel or interesting sans serifs.

(I also know that good typography doesn't distract from the content, but even under that ideal I still find most modern sans serifs boring).
