I hit exactly all of those pain points too!

Tried out Luna, back when it was first announced and had horrible performance problems with it back then. Decided to give it a second try now, as I still think there is place for a tool like it, but it's sad to see that it's still plagued with the same performance problems (even though I upgraded machines in the meantime).
Yeah. It's also used in some RPG games to denote quests which are done independently of the main quest.

It's not even with the DLCs. Korok Forest, as beautiful as it is, is commonly known as "Frame Drop Forest".
gather.town | various roles & levels | full-time | remote (we’re based in the US but hiring internationally - we hold the belief that people shouldn’t be constrained by where they can live, based on where they want to work)

About us: Gather Town is a video-calling space for offices, conferences, events, and social events that lets multiple people hold separate conversations in parallel, walking in and out of those conversations just as naturally as in real life. We’re about a year old, are revenue-generating, and have made a lot of traction in the short amount of time that we’ve been around. One of our co-founders, Phillip, posted some info about the launch a few months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25039370

Some high-priority roles that we’re hiring for in particular:

* Software Engineer, Video Systems (WebRTC): https://grnh.se/b9b0f73a4us
* Frontend Engineers: https://grnh.se/414649b24us
* Backend Engineers: https://grnh.se/87e562634us
* Product Designers: https://grnh.se/a3d7176b4us
* Interaction Designers: https://grnh.se/033aac014us
* Product Managers: https://grnh.se/d53758324us
* Head of People Operations: https://grnh.se/fb66c78d4us

To echo our mission, physical constraints should not dictate the ways we work, socialize, interact, and function as society. To that point, we’re a remote company and hiring around the world with team members distributed across the globe.

We have a few more roles posted on our job board. Feel free to apply there or if you have any questions, you can reach out to jobs@gather.town. If you’re simply curious about our platform, give it a try on gather.town or visit our (virtual) HQ linked on any of our job posts.

Best of luck with the search!
Show HN: Windy Is a React UI Kit Powered by Tailwind
Oh please, this project was doing fine for two decades with regular bug reports and it suddenly needs to collect data straight after a hostile takeover by a company with a shady privacy policy? An offline audio editor doesn't need to be connected to the net.
The Wikipedia article says that it was acquired by Yahoo and turned into Yahoo Mail.

You may have confused Google with Yahoo?
A huge number of them is in the form of downloadable modules, that is, if you don't connect the hardware, the relevant module isn't loaded.
It did come naturally, kind of! This is the one thing we heavily underestimated when starting Enso – the amount of time that is required to make the language's design consistent in both representations. In fact, our desire to create a REAL programming language with strong math background was a two-sided sword. It took us a significant amount of resources, but at the same time, it provided us with a very consistent and a well working solutions.

The same is applied to our data-flow errors. Think of them like about Haskell's `Either` or Rust's `Result` types, but with automatic lifting (automatic applicative functor lifting). So in Enso, you can have a "broken value", like a string read from a file that could be broken because the file did not exist, but you can still concatenate it with other string WITHOUT using any special syntax, and the result may also be broken. In Rust and Haskell you can do the same, but with a special syntax like `(+) <$> str1 <+> str2`.

I hope it clarifies some things under the hood! :)

> The car length in this context is just the length the car travels per second.

Is that how that term is used?

Either way, that truck was far under that suggested amount of space when it crossed into the tesla's lane. It was around one second, well under two let alone more. Measuring against the ground, of course, not relative speed.

At the speed limit, vehicles are going about 100 feet per second. At the start of the video they appear to be about 3 dashed lines apart (120ft?) and by the time the truck is about to switch lanes they're two dashed lines apart (80ft?)
Your still using frameworks like Open GL though right ?

I think this ultimately depends on if you want to ship or not. I think Unity is the best option for most people due to its ease of use. But I also respect wanting full control, sometimes Unity feels like a magic black box.

Best pray the black box does what you want.
Hi, I’m Dan.

I’m a product manager that is sick of operations & other PMs asking me to write simple SQL queries or create tableau dashboards.

I’ve seen many friends/colleagues that say they want to learn SQL, but never do.

Yet, companies are looking for talent in all departments to learn these skills for decision making.

Rather than having non-technical people try to learn SQL and tableau, I’m exploring a product that translates human text into simple sql queries to enable data analysis for everyone without needing to learn SQL.

“How many [column name] did we have on [Date]”

This isn’t easy, but if done successfully will be extremely valuable.

I’m primarily looking for a data scientist with NLP experience, ideally around semantic search. However, I’m willing to chat with everyone who wants to!

> Interestingly, some of these geofences do not seem to have a clear connection to SpaceX. While we will not disclose these locations here, I will say that the SNOW_RANCH looks like a nice location to play with development hardware.

Most likely these are testing locations. Possibly even second homes of testers & engineers. After all, this is a product that has very different operating parameters depending on location.
I was struck by this passage on Tim Hunkin's website:

"...making things had made me realise just how much clever human activity in the world can not be explained in words or suit the format of a book, let alone fit with the publishing fashion of the day."

I think this is one of the reasons why posters here have fond memories of this series - it's full of inventive ways to explain technology (with a dash of humour).

The Word Processor episode (1991) is excellent for anyone looking for something computer-related. It's broader than just looking at word processors but also explains how computers developed.

The Secret Life of the Word Processor (1991):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNcP7KgWaXg

This is a nice description of Word Processing from the TV programme:

"It's an extraordinary elaborate way to write something with a separate keyboard, monitor, computer and printer. But the ease of trying sentences out and moving them about does give writing a whole new freedom."
Disney built a human-scale "town" from scratch as Celebration, Florida. Some people seem to like it. The basic formula could probably be repeated elsewhere.
In one of the other videos, you can see a 3 by 3 sized platform with the same wheel setup - it has a platform for 1-2 people and a crane.

I imagine they set some sort of exclusion zone around the broken robot, then drive out in the large platform and pick it up.
Actually its a fraction of that. First Quarter of '21 Unity made around $230M.[1]

Epic (total) is in the ballpark of around $5B, but the engine alone - I estimate - around 1-5% of it, so also around $50M-$250M.

> For now, the device has only been tested in rats.

Right, I'll be sure to check back in 10-15 years.
What you're referring to is 'broad comedy' - and that's my point. They don't make them in a big way.

The films listed above are not 'broad comedies' they're comedy/dramas.

I'm not sure of the 'Mel Brooks is not an argument' (link in one of the responses) is a defence at all, because the fact is, he took excessive risks while trying to make a point, risks which would not be made today.

He was Jewish and took on very serious issues with Nazis ... but he definitely was not Black, and Blazing Saddles ... wold be too much for today.

By all accounts, Tropic Thunder would not get made today because of the ostensibly 'blackface' character - I think that's a really good 'threshold' to analyze because while I don't think the character is generally offensive and most wouldn't see it as that - but it's definitely going to be for some, to the point where Execs just couldn't back making the movie. There's going to be guaranteed outrage, and that outrage, if the press decides to amplify it, will kill a film and have all the parties involved running scared with apologies.

The Kids in the Hall (Kevin McDonald) indicated they couldn't make what they made today. They did indicate they got pushback back in the day from some of their bits that mocked religion - particularly from the US - but they still got to make it, which is the point.

Casting for any role which involves 'mixed' anything is a minefield which risks overthrowing a project. The casting of Cleopatra (who was Macedonian), caused controversy by people speaking on behalf of ... Ancient Egyptians? Whom even modern Egyptians could hardly make a claim to?

There's a lot of good talk about having more people from different backgrounds in roles, and especially have them among rank and file production, which is obviously good, but this should be a different theme from say, what jokes are acceptable and not.

Those are different kinds of issues that are getting crossed up in a cacophony of Twitter noise.

HBO, Disney and Netflix are not interested in creative expression, they're inserted in products, broader audiences, and films that speak to their choice narratives. If you listen to some podcasts you can hear the opinions of these executives themselves speak about it. These are not your 'creativity first' type of people.

Cable TV has always allowed for a narrow set of channels that challenged conventions, kind of a 'Late Night Loophole' in which naughty stuff was tolerated. We need this equivalent for streaming sources. We need an 'Adult Swim' version of Netflix that invests heavily in outrageous things.
Gotta be careful. Someone dumped the firmware from their Tesla Model S and discovered info about the then-unannounced Model 3.

Tesla responded by disabling the car's ethernet port, downgrading the firmware, and preventing the car from receiving future upgrades to software.
Yeah, waiting for the ghosts to get close was a standard strategy I used back when I played lots of Pacman.

Having all the ghosts behind you gives you more control since they'll follow you in a line.

That the ghosts follow the player is what makes the game winnable. If they formed a grid and gradually closed-in, it would be impossible to escape.

Edit: What was unexpected in this case was that the system found a strategy the programmer didn't think of.
Ah. You're a humanist. I can't argue your religion here, but some people don't think humans own the planet, or that everything revolves around us.
Most people (at least, that I know) do not hire private security teams to police their homes.

And the ones that do pay companies for security typically stop at surveillance (cameras, motion detectors, door detectors, etc). These only help to prevent intrusion with the threat of detection (the intruders recognizable face on camera).

Most private buildings are not hardened fortresses capable of state-of-the-art attacks and I personally don't think it's reasonable to expect them to be.
I regularly find a single household burning wood to be obnoxious to me in certain atmospheric conditions (which are present about .6 of the time in my part of the Bay Area).

Vehicles in countries with good air quality simply avoid producing carbon-rich particles (the kind of pollution produced by burning wood or coal) in the first place: their catalytic converters are for other types of pollution (gases).
Life follows a simple set of rules with an extensive set of exceptions.
No, Op seem to have mistaken B and M.
In processors bits are in parallel, and in any arithmetic operation more-significant bits depend on less-significant bits because of carry, so you'd want to stream bits least-significant first.
A good analogy might be germs. It's probably not reasonable to expect most businesses to have a plan to handle a global pandemic, or to vaccinate the public against seasonal endemics. But it's probably reasonable to expect most businesses to be aware of germs and take appropriate measures to handle and protect against them.

Hospitals being very sensitive to germs, should have strong sanitation protocols. Food processing, likewise. The government should regulate this.

A factory making cars, maybe less regulation is required, though a general baseline prohibition on unsanitary working environments makes sense.

I'd say in the current threat environment, hacking/phishing attempts are closely analogous to the baseline level of attacks that our immune systems are subjected to. Countries that harbor hackers could be analogized to dumping effluent into a river up-stream of a city; it's probably the government's job to clean that up. But also, if the river is unsanitary, in the meantime it's reasonable to be critical of companies that obliviously use it for rinsing vegetables.

Under this analogy, it's both reasonable to expect companies to be aware of germs and take precautions against them, since they are a fact of the environment, and also to want the government to take the lead on cleaning up egregious sources of germs, since that's not something any individual actor could do on their own.
> It was not a bad bet until Xi took power.

It was always like that, just before not as obvious, and not standing out on the background of US-CN confrontation.
> America, in contrast with most other countries, has very little cultural infrastructure to guide people. Freedom and individualism (however shallow) is emphasized.

This is very accurate. Having lived in other countries, I can say the "other" side suffers from a different extreme: Sticking to flawed social constructs that impede their progress and/or happiness, no matter how much research and/or self help you throw at them.
That'll cost the typical business way more than the cost and headache of ransomware.

Eventually, but it would take much, much longer than you'd think.

Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune all radiate ~2x the heat they receive from the Sun. Most of their heat is primordial, residue from the gravitational potential energy of all their component parts falling together. A gas giant flung away from it's host star will likely remain more or less as it is much longer than the star is.
I read it that way. He was so methodical and echaustive (as well as orthodox in many ways) that he became the perfect starting point to rebel against.

If I bought a new car and it was faulty due to an extremely improbable interaction with my particular driveway, such that it blew up when I got it home, it is unlikely I would swear off vehicles. In fact, I'm not sure that doing so would even occur to me. I wonder what it is, that causes us to happily (and correctly) shrug off some incredibly unlikely scenarios without generalizing them as if it were evidence of some law applicable to our individual lives, while in other cases, it's hard to resist treating it like a divine portent.
I don't think you're talking about Generation X. We were the last generation where more higher education made sense/paid off, on average. Also, the classism you describe seems antithetical to general Gen X attitudes.
Right now there is no expiration on the bounty. But it's definitely something we're thinking through.

Two ideas right now:

- Just have it returned to the user.

- At some point the bounty goes into a general fund for that project.

Reminded me of Darkman, personally.
The "no you cannot have good policy" party has almost 50% of the vote.
The Red Fort Breach as you call it is nowhere similar with the Capitol riot. Not from any meaningful dimension.

The Red Fort is merely a tourist spot from where the PM addresses the nation on Independence Days.

On the other hand, the Capitol is a significant seat of power in the US. The Capitol was breached when the vote was being counted to confirm the win of a Presidential candidate, to stop it.

One breach was to undermine democracy itself. Another was to merely attract attention to their cause.
While CHOLMOD is great, you cannot always use the Cholesky factorisation when you solve PDEs. For real-world simulations, we often have to solve systems with hundreds of millions, if not billions, of equations and in then case, even a highly optimised direct solver like CHOLMOD fails. The fill-in simply becomes too large.

For these small test cases, however, simply using CHOLMOD (or any other sparse solver) would do the trick perfectly.
The brain is far more robust than often assumed. Read up on Anatoli Bugorski for example. He had rather significant brain damage yet there was virtually no damage to his intellectual capacity. He did suffer from seizures after the accident, but that’s about it.

These kinds of implants have serious risks including infections etc, but for people with long term chronic pain there are few options.
OSHA isn't reporting incidents either.

I tried to sign up for this as a technical co founder and it was long winded and painful to “apply”.

I don’t know why I had to “apply” to offer to be a technical cofounder.

After all this they “rejected” me. How can you be rejected from offering to be a technical cofounder?

What a waste of time.

I don’t recommend startup school as a way to find a cofounder especially if you’re technical.
That's pretty much exactly what "democratizing" means, at least etymologically. It brings power (kratia) to the people (demos).

"Democracy" refers to a political system, but "democratizing" has pretty much always meant to open things up more widely. Example:

"The State wishes to democratize instruction by its "French instruction" and the standard must inevitably be the lowering of the very standard it sets up." -- 1894

https://www.google.com/books/edition/Education_from_a_Nation...

And yeah -- guns do democratize violence. That's precisely why they were invented. A Google search for "guns democratize violence" turns up several hits.
This is why leprosy is terrible. No pain sensation when body is damaged even by the patient, themselves.
Complete elimination of pain is probably not a good idea, for sure.

But the ability to actively shut off pain once you've acknowledged the problem, or at least numb it down to it not being completely debilitating, could be useful.
Developing Habits That Increase Your Productivity
Thank you! We hope for it as well. We really hope that Enso would eventually become applicable to a much broader space than Alteryx is applicable nowadays. In fact, Enso already provides much more powerful toolset in many cases, like unstructured data processing, true polyglot support, high-performance visualizations, interactivity, true batch-mode, etc. On the other hand, we are aware that there are still bugs and that our onboarding is far from perfect.

Anyway, I would really love to chat more with you about these cases if you'd like too! We are looking forward to work with companies in this space and we are providing them with a very special deals now, including lifetime discounts, dedicated team members building highly tailored libraries, and helping solving data-related problems! If that sounds interesting to you, please write to me a short message at wojciech.danilo@enso.org ! :)

which are very similar to global variables, but the compiler doesn't know that they're global

Since as you say, they are very similar, wouldn't it be reasonable to assume for access purposes that they are effectively global?
Thank you. I recognize the trains analogy, BTW, and perhaps frames of reference, but my knowledge of the topic is very spotty. And I've also had a sandwich snatched from my fingertips, seemingly faster than light.
No. By addressing conspiracy theories in an Authoritarian system you give them credence through something more or less like the Streisand effect. If you have information control mechanism like the Great Firewall of China and you do not have a free press, then you can more effectively control your domestic population through information suppression. You don't have to explain anything if nobody talks about it in the first place.

You're applying the logic of a democracy with a free press, which assumes people will talk about it. You also probably think that China worries about what you think and that they would care to address your concerns, when the 1.4 Billion Chinese citizens is of much greater concerns to them.

This is the same delusion that Western intelligence agencies like the CIA had with Saddam Hussein. Everyone expected that his putting up a fight against the weapons inspectors was a very clear sign that he had something to hide. If he had nothing to hide why not let them in. After the fact we found out he didn't actually have a functioning weapons program. His failure to be open to the weapons inspectors seems deeply weird and irrational from the perspective of a Western Democracy. But he was running a strong-arm totalitarian state. He needed to stand up to the US and the rest of the world for domestic political points.

China doesn't care what you think or what the US thinks. China cares what 1.4 billion Chinese think. China can better control what they think by flat-out suppression of information, because they've built those systems of control.
