I think MAME emulates some hardware for which NTSC artifact colors were important:

https://wiki.mamedev.org/index.php/Driver:Apple_II (which had no RGB at all)

https://old.reddit.com/r/OpenEmu/comments/hhxnry/sharing_my_... (showing Sonic, among others, though I'm not sure if this is really about NTSC artifacting or just dithering)

http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,152465.msg15...

https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/NTSC_Filters

So, there are some exceptions, including a few extremely popular platforms, but certainly you are correct that emulating the majority of game platforms does not need NTSC artifacting.
I only get emails from sites that are single opt in. Haven’t received a single double opt in request.
You don't deal with this, other than fixing the damage and removing the bad machines.

The only way forward is expanded testing, that's what the paper from Google is (also) about. I think this issue will always be with us, to a larger or smaller extent.

There's probably a ton of data corruption out there that happens to be in places that doesn't really cause big problems.
Happen to know whether ElSalv did covertly did most of their purchasing before announcing this? Or have they not purchased btc just yet?
To be clear: there is no failover happening, even though we do have a failover instance. If there was, we could at least detect that something had happened after the fact!

The Cloud SQL failover only occurs in certain circumstances, and in all our time using Cloud SQL the failover has not once kicked in automatically (despite many outages).

In fact, one of our earliest support issues was that the "manual failover" button was disabled when any sort of operation was occuring on the datbase, making it almost completely useless! Luckily this issue at least was fixed.
Good point. I'm not sure he's even aware of that option, unfortunately.
Correctly/academically speaking, a GC emulates infinite memory[1]. It's a misnomer (because the fact/name predated the theory). In the event that you actually have infinite memory, NOOP could be classified as a GC.

Academically speaking, Rust is a managed language. The GC has simply been lifted to compile-time (or runtime in the case of Rc). You never call `alloc` and you never call `free`.

No I think the author works at Google and have a couple of hours weekly or monthly to do "experiments", but the employment terms forces the ownership of the "experiments" to Google but since the projects may not align with Googles image or reputation they wish not to be officially associated with it. They own it but do not "stand behind it" officially
Indeed. Which is why VAT is a much better and more common structure of taxation than a tax on all revenue.
I could be mistaken, but these are the reasons:

1. Some of the sites are legit

2. There is a small variety of fake names used consistently

3. In some cases they’ve actually made whole dating site accounts with info filled in

Do the scam operators enter fake names and actually create accounts with logins? If so, I could be part of that.

I had figured if my email were sold they’d also sell my name with it.

If it is being sold on a list, what could I do, if anything?
Did anybody bother to lookup the article they wanted to get the IPs for and get scared out of their minds when they realize what the title was?

No, I am wrong, Hacker News is right, I have learned my mistake, we need anonymity - from everything. I don't want responsibility for my actions - that's why I support the EFF, and I don't care about the FSF. We deserve the same anonymity as the upper echelon of the government, and who cares about unconditionally accelerating the singularity with open-source.

Transparency - only Satan could want such a thing!

At least in my sect of Christianity, Satan only hurts bad people - it's people themselves that are evil or want to make others evil. Bit more theologically consistent.

They weren't performing human sacrifice as its own end, they were performing literal human sacrifice to honor their God... which is essentially what the Crusades were, an act of figurative ritual human sacrifice to honor the Christian God.

One is just more alien to Western culture than the other, so it seems more viscerally evil, and their means differ but their nature is the same.
Both of them were implemented as plugins.
Coupling a regressive tax with money transfer creates an inverse "V" shaped effective tax rate that will squeeze some part of the society (probably on the middle class).

If the taxes and transfers are diverse enough, one can reduce that problem by making them compensating each other, but if you make VAT + UBI make the lion share of the government's money flow, it will be a really large problem.

This will not end well for El Salvador
The two language problem exists for a bunch of reasons, some good and some not.

The biggest reason is because some function of the high level language is incompatible with the application domain. Like garbage collection in hot or real-time code or proprietary compilers for processors. Julia does not solve these problems.

Other reasons are practical, like portable executables in Go or Rust (portable in the sense they do not require dependencies on their target systems, usually). Julia does not solve this problem.

Then there are the reasons to use scripting languages over the system languages, like expressive syntax with low cognitive overhead. Julia definitely helps here. But this comes at the cost of execution and startup time. Julia only kind of solves this problem.

So if Julia is trying to make a more performance scripting language then that is admirable. But for most of the projects where I have needed to prototype in a script and implement in a systems language, Julia would not have worked.

Even today I don't have a good reason to use it over MATLAB for day to day work, since I already have the license and their ecosystem is more mature.
Sometimes there's a forensic purpose. For example, you want to know which servers exfiltrated your data and to which IP.

Or for audit purposes (e.g. you might need to prove to some regulator no outside access was made, which is stupid but ...)
they would be forced to accept it, however they would likely instantly convert it to a more stable currency at the time of payment through some processor.

there will likely be a small fee to them for the conversion of Bitcoin to say, USD, but I imagine it would be similar to accepting credit cards for payment? and so it would be worked into the prices.
I've got some sympathy with this viewpoint, and have used HN myself under a pseudonym I take pains not to associate with my real-world identity.

But at the same time, the practice of regularly and routinely recycling user identities is ... well, it really does prevent the formation of a community.

The most toxic community I'd ever encountered was a supposedly "kinder and gentler Reddit", the late and unlamented Imzy. A core feature was that individuals could spin up a new pseudonym on each individual thread.

The result was both absolutely disorienting and gave rise to vicious bandwagon and brigade attacks.

Whatever problem Imzy was trying to solve, that was the wrong solution.

(I'm aware that chans often follow a similar tactic, and that ... they tend not to engender highly constructive behaviours.)
But if I have a loan for a value that corresponds to about 1 bitcoin and $53, then doesn't legal tender mean I have to accept 1 bitcoin and $53 in exchange for it? The fact that tomorrow the value will be 1 bitcoin and $196 seems irrelevant.

And this is significant: debtors could repay their debts when bitcoins look like they will decrease in value with respect to the currency of denomination with an intent to harm the debt owner.

In the 19th century, there were dual currency systems with fluctuating exchange rates. I don't know anything about why they failed, just that they failed...
The law hasn’t taken effect yet. Apparently it will go to a vote in parliament next week. I’m honestly not sure but would suspect they haven’t bought yet but will soon have the legal ability too.
> Pomax is approaching the vanishing points exponentially rather than hyperbolically

Exactly this. To put it in drawing terminology, the distance of a line towards the vanishing point is related to the angle from the camera (station point) projected back to the picture plane. Images like this may be of assistance for those of a computer and not hand drawing background https://guidetodrawing.com/site/assets/files/1082/gtd-235.79...

An exponential ratio as used by the article could maybe be described as assuming the camera is 0 distance from every point drawn.

[Edit: Really great article though - the kind of thing I love to see is looking at a complex problem with established solutions from first principles again]
Hmm, are you suggesting that the US could overthrow their government, either by invasion as in Panama or by funding a terrorist campaign as in Nicaragua, and that Bitcoin would be more secure than suitcases of dollar bills against such actions? Surely not that the US would dramatically devalue its own currency in order to drain El Salvador's reserves? Or are you thinking that dollar-denominated reserves held in overseas banks would be easier for the US to seize, and Bitcoin avoids the need to hold the reserves overseas?

It seems to me more likely that the figures in the article amply explain the move:

> roughly 70% of people do not have bank accounts or credit cards. Remittances, or the money sent home by migrants, account for more than 20% of El Salvador's gross domestic product. Incumbent services can charge 10% or more in fees for those international transfers, which can sometimes take days to arrive and that sometimes require a physical pick-up.

I mean, living in Latin America, I'm well aware that the US has a long history of invading and overthrowing Latin American governments, I'm just not sure how Bitcoin reserves would protect against that.
Oh, he is. But it's good PR to make positive statements while doing whatever you want.
Zoom has been the best for me. I haven't used Jitsi Meet, I've heard it can be good but an interviewee is rarely the one to pick the call medium.

> Teams doesn't really work on Firefox

Don't use the browser version of any videoconferencing system you use with any regularity, use their desktop app. It would be nice if that you could use any old browser (especially when the desktop app may well be an Electron app) but the reliability isn't currently there. The desktop app is the "happy path," use what works now, not what should work.

Ah, a Linux user. You should lead with that, your experience will have little relation to the vast majority of other people.
Even though the market hasn't really reacted to this news (which I suspect is due to the fact that it's proposed/didn't happen yet), this is one of the most bullish news in a very long time in my opinion (even more bullish than companies buying into it). I suspect this will start the domino effect of countries slowly, but surely adopting BTC.

It'll probably be the smaller countries first where they don't have great currencies to begin with, so they'll always have to use a foreign one, either USD or an alternative. With USD, they are at the mercy of USG and will get pushed around by them. With Bitcoin, the network itself is kept safe with all the energy and mathematical properties, but the price is very volatile at the moment, though volatility will decrease with increasing market caps.

This will be a very interesting experiment to watch.

"Going forward, consistent with the President's direction, this Department of Justice – in a change to its longstanding practice – will not seek compulsory legal process in leak investigations to obtain source information from members of the news media doing their jobs," Justice Department spokesman Anthon Coley said in a statement Saturday.
Are you suggesting he's senile? Stupid? It's not clear why you'd think someone with Biden's political experience would be unaware that the President is the head of the executive branch.
Finally, an influential developer who cares about the other 99%.

I've lived in dozens of places. I've lived in urban areas, suburban areas, rural areas. I've even lived on a boat. With the exception of wealthy areas, reasonable internet is a constant struggle.

It's also never due to the speed though, in my experience. The biggest issues are always packet loss, intermittent outages, latency, and jitter. High speed internet doesn't count for much, aside checking off a box, if it goes out for a couple hours every few hours, or has 10% packet loss. You'd be surprised how common stuff like that is. Try visiting the domicile of someone who isn't rich and running mtr.

Another thing I've noticed ISPs doing is they seem to intentionally add things like jitter to latency-sensitive low-bandwidth connections like SSH, because they want people to buy business class. So, in many ways, 56k was better than modern high speed internet. Because yes, connections had slow throughput, but even with 300 baud the latency was fast and the reliability was good enough that you could count on it to be something you could actually use when connecting to a central computer and running vi. Bill Joy actually wrote vi on that kind of internet connection, which deeply influenced its design.
That's a fair point. PICO-8 never appealed to me for artistic expression, it's purely a programming challenge to cram as much functionality as possible into a tiny, tiny program.
Glad to know I am not alone!
There are only 2^32 IPv4 addresses, if you know the nonce you just try them all... no privacy provided.

If you don't know the nonce, you can't match against other users-- so not useful for abuse.

But I'm skeptical re: abuse uses. For commenters, sure-- you may need to store IPs to combat abuse. But for readers? At most you would need sampled data or in-memory counters (e.g. to catch high volume bots).

Unfortunately, there really isn't any penalty for failing to minimize private data collection.
He literally did ban the practice, though, and the quoted line is after the reporting saying he did so?

How do these birds exist in the wild if a single predator sighting causes them to abandon their eggs?
Edit: I'm downvoted, so this is a legitimate question. How could it be that these birds have lasted when one predator causes the abandonment of 3000 eggs? Has no predator ever appeared on these islands?
Yikes! That is alarming. I also don’t like the part about automated failover not working
Anti-spam/anti-abuse operations often look a lot like tracking. There's no point in knowing a single request's IP, or a single user's; to spot the patterns, you have to be able to join it with others.

Ask HN: Looking for a Twitter thread about UIs getting worse
There was a twitter thread a couple of years back (not sure, 2019 or 2020?) on how UIs are getting worse and CLIs were very good compared to GUIs. I think one of the examples was entering data in an old CLI application. I remember it also had a big discussion on HN. Does anyone have a link? I'm going mad trying to find it.
I'm sure the people of El Salvador won't mind having 20% of their wealth wiped out every time Elon Musk tweets something that changes his mind in some way.

Certainly if I was selling something I'd denominate it in something relative stable and then change Bitcoin asking price to match the exchange rate to that stable currency. Since the currency there is the USD... Yeah, I'd still be pricing my goods and services in USD.
Bitwarden doesn't seem to do this even in Android 10. The Bitwarden UX on iOS is fantastic though, it behaves excatly as you'd expect from a native solution. Any examples of good password managers on Android that uses the proper support for autofill?

The OEIS isn't known for its sense of humor, otherwise I'm sure there'd be such a sequence listed there as well.
They did exist, but a lot of us filtered them out with our newsreaders.

I don’t have unlimited time to read comments so I prioritize ones from the patio11, cperciva, and ChuckMcMs of the board. Not because who they are IRL but because a history of posts I found interesting, informative, etc. makes it more likely the next one will be too.

If you are on a throwaway because you want to talk about being a functional alcoholic without your colleagues knowing: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27363003

that’s perfectly reasonable. But if you are on a throwaway because you want to attack the concept of reputation, that’s a pretty negative signal.
I can't fully agree. Maybe from distribution/binary PoV might be more secure, but built-in browsers password store are accessible by your own apple/google/microsoft/firefox account. So if someone compromise your email, it will get instant access to all your passwords too. None of those use a separate encryption key to make sure someone that got access to your account don't get access to passwords.
There was Uber's "God View" which showed travel history of customers, which was at one point available to anyone who could pass Uber's driver onboarding process.

Venture capitalist Peter Sims wrote about being tracked in a blog post this September. Back in 2011, he wrote, he was in an Uber car in Manhattan when he started receiving text messages from someone he barely knew telling him exactly where he was. That person later told him that she was at an Uber launch party in Chicago, where Sims' movements were being tracked via God View on a large public screen.

If you're a professional artist, and you draw on actual paper, you will almost never work outside of the very first grid space. This article shows you what happens if you were to use the full exponential space, which (and let me stress this yet again) *no one should ever do*.

Any tutorial on perspective drawing teaches you to keep your vanishing points out of your picture, and to stay the hell away from them. That's solid advice, and in this article we investigate why that's solid advice.

> I would recommend using the one already built into your browser. They provide the same functionality, and can sidestep these fundamental problems with extensions.

I haven't used the browsers built-in password manager for years, so I don't know what features they have, but I find it hard to believe that they can provide the same functionality as a dedicated password manager.

Some of the top features of dedicated password managers include:

* Generating random passwords/passphrases (this is pretty basic)

* Storing and generating two-factor authentication codes (TOTP)

* Filling out passwords into mobile apps as well as websites

* Storing security questions, back up codes, any other site specific data that needs to be secure

* Storing credit card information

* Platform agnostic syncing

* Sharing passwords with friends, co-workers, or family

* Weak password checking / HIBP integration

I'm sure that the browser password manager can do some of these things, but I doubt it can really do all of them.
A loan can be denominated in a currency other than what you directly pay for it with. That just means somebody is automatically converting it for you. Financially, it's exactly the same as using your Visa to buy something in a foreign currency; you're paying in Euros for a loan denominated in dollars, and you'll pay it off in dollars.

The loan can't be denominated in multiple currencies at once, as you seem to be thinking of, because that would make the loan amount undefined unless the two currencies were directly pegged to each other.

You can have a loan of 100 dollars. Or you can have a loan of .01 BitCoin. You can pay either off in dollars or BitCoin. How much a given pile of currency will pay off depends on exchange rates. But that doesn't affect the loan itself.

I somewhat sarcastically said nobody would denominate a loan in BitCoin, but not sarcastically at all, nobody would ever denominate a loan in "either this much of one currency or this much of another" because that is seriously a no-win situation for the entity loaning money. Obviously the loanee would pay it off in whatever is cheaper.
> I use Chrome, but the other major browsers like Edge or Firefox are fine too. They can isolate their trusted UI from websites, they don’t break the sandbox security model, they have world-class security teams, and they couldn’t be easier to use.

I know its about browser integration, but take a look at the repository of Lockwise android app[1] that released the last version 6 months ago and Bitwarden app[2] with last release being 1 month ago (I tried to find the firefox browser version but its a mess to analyse the activity of it). I know firefox has a much larger team but I it doesnt necessarily mean that more competent devs taking are taking care of the browser password manager's security than 1Password for example - maybe this is true for Google Chrome but who knows about Firefox and Edge.
