I never said how easy it would be only that there is a difference between a payload that is launched via a laser and a payload that has laser capabilities in it (yes, 'moving with the projectile', like i was talking about from the beginning where you assumed otherwise).

But for one, the energy source would have to be on board the payload to power the laser (localized around the payload), and for the other (that I was not talking about) the laser is not on the payload and as the payload travels further away from the launch site, you would use an non linear increasing amount of energy and follow the path of the payload (ionizing air not only around the payload continuously but along the path where the payload no longer is, which would require more energy than needed).
Seasons also play a role. 7 day weeks can be neatly broken up into 4 13-week seasons (roughly, you end up with an extra day and a quarter to contend with).

Between lunar phases and seasons, it’s a fairly natural choice for people living outside of the tropics.

Edit: to add, for pre modern people, tracking seasons was obviously very important and worth counting systematically. Simply counting lunar phases isn’t reliable given that a lunar year is only ~354 days.
What is the ethical or moral perspective about capitalism and power generated on the backs of those born into a system of slavery and oppression?
My wife is very much an AFOL. I buy her a couple of the expensive creator/expert sets each year.

We also have several bins of generic legos of all shapes & sizes for the kids. They occasionally get technic sets, too, as gifts.

These are not at odds with each other, Lego is successfully marketing to two demographics that are complimentary to one another. It's a good strategy. What's not a good strategy is their really lackluster pace of creating new sets, or the speed with with they take old ones out of production so they become a thousand bucks on the secondary market.
When you click the button to make a repo private, you first have to acknowledge that you will lose all of your stars among other things. Losing stars is literally the first bullet point. Then you have to type the repo name as acknowledgement before you can make private. PR stunt?

Make private:

Hide this repository from the public.

You will permanently lose:
All stars and watchers of this repository.
All pages published from this repository.
Dependency graph will remain enabled. Leaving them enabled grants us permission to perform read-only analysis on this repository.

Vaccinated people get the disease and transmit it about as well as unvaccinated people.

This means the virus is busy making copies of itself in their body. Those copies not only have a chance to mutate, but have evolutionary selective pressure to mutate around the vaccine.

If you don't have the vaccine, it has no pressure to mutate around the vaccine.

The source of the website shows a nice simple accessibility section, with the content rendered in nice vanilla P and Hx and such tags, with the visual rendering a single easily-ignored SVG below. Presuming those two remain synced, it's probably more accessible than most.

This is how you enable creative web design. Sure, you shouldn't necessarily run your business on something like this (for a multitude of reasons), but for personal websites and prototypes this is great.

When Flash plugins were on the way out everyone always repeated how this would open the door for equally powerful HTML5 tooling. But while HTML5 has gained all the technical capabilities of Flash, nobody has managed to make an authoring tool as good as Adobe Flash. With the loss of Flash we mostly lost the creative websites by people who can't code but are great at visual design. This comes close to enabling that again.
Lost of a parent is the most stressful life event other than getting married. It makes you face your own mortality, and really changes your life. A lot of problems other people have seem little. You start seeing how others wasted their youth. You want everyone to become neurological researchers. Even then you approach problems from the view that it's futile, there's not enough time, we'll never solve it, and we're all going to die. If they are sick or well, young or old, when they pass it is always a shock to you, and you always regret things you didn't do or did or could have done. It passes when you realize you're next, your ticket is called and then all that goes away and you feel relief.

Getting married shows you how different other people are, they want completely different things and your immature desires were delusions. You loose a big part of your life, almost all of it, while you get burdened with a ton of work.

Try to find a comfortable routine. Find good movies. What you miss are things you don't expect. Be happy they can walk yet alone eat, talk or breathe. When those happen, think that people still fast. People still die even after the best medical discoveries. Drop the millstone of pride around your neck. Admit dying is part of the deal life gives you. It helps too to understand we have everything we need right now to live a good life. There's no more great prophecies to be revealed or sacrifices we need to make. Do great things like regenerative neuron treatments and xenotransplantation because they are fun. Salvation has already been found for you by others who have done the work.
Yeah auto-music is bad. Sound effects are hard to do too, although when done well they can work (at least for me). Example of a site with sound effects that isn't overwhelming: https://www.joshwcomeau.com/
Very interesting and true.

Reminds me when my mom taught me that in oil paintings the “black” colour of a scene should be made by mixing all the colours used - there is information in “black”. Look closely at an oil painting, you’ll see that “black” has hues of red in it.

Also interesting, in the winter an asphalt road is even less black than typical due to the evaporated salt on it. This is a key way to notice if your tires will have grip on it (if a patch looks black, it could be black ice).

They probably mean that they don't track _history_ of stars. The database is probably very simple and tracks only the current number of stars.
I'm assuming that they have a relation user <-> repo of repos that the user has starred. If the user in question doesn't have access to the repo, the entry should be deleted.
How does it compare with https://github.com/solidsnack/GraphpostgresQL? It's like 7 years older and it takes the same approach, it seems.

More often than you think.

Lego very very rarely will design a new element for a set, let alone a Ideas/Creator set. For a new part, its in the neighborhood of 300-500k for a new injection mold for a single new piece. That's not going to happen for most one off sets. Sometimes sets do get designed with new pieces in mind, or when they really have a shortcoming. But I don't see anything obvious in the typewriter set that is purpose built.

Reviewing the bricklink entry for the typewriter, the only noticeable new items are the painted key tiles for the typwriter. Painting is a great way to give new life to old tiles. I see some new color options as well, but nothing "new"

Hmm, I've been a user of this kind of thing for a long time and there's quite a few 'habit-tracking' apps out there (my personal choice being Loop Habit Tracker, I dig its minimalism). Is your key differentiator the accountability check in idea? $15 per month seems quite steep for that, that's like 1/4th of a weekly session with a personal trainer.
I think this is only notable because it’s apple. There are many options on the market for gps trackers that have live updates. Not as cheap as an AirTag but cheap enough when stealing expensive vehicles.
Granted whoever was doing the privating was acting in a hurry, but the modal you use to switch a GitHub repository to private says right on it:

* You will permanently lose:
* All stars and watchers of this repository.

along with a yellow banner at the top of the modal saying:

Warning: this is a potentially destructive action.

This shouldn't have come as a surprise.
>You put "replayability" in contrast to "legacy" but honestly we played that game more times (15) than a lot of traditional board games.

You hit the nail on the head. The unfortunate truth is the vast majority of board games get played <5 times, often no more than once or even zero times! There's a long tail of games that get played way more than 5 times but the median has got to be down there. So the legacy games are less radical than they appear. If they're replacing one of those games in the very large bucket of quickly dropped games then they have no downside in terms of loss of replayability. And as you said, they incentivize replayability for my groups at least by essentially forcing someone to say "ok, when are we gonna play again?" because a lot of their value prop comes from the continuity.
This... Is probably one out of a few viable solutions to this.

I maintain a pretty high quality implementation of Hacker News. https://github.com/tensorfork/tlarc

It has bcrypt, HN's current CSS, and so on. We use it to manage our TPUs: http://www.tensorfork.com/tpus

Improvements welcome. The nicest part is how quickly you can iterate on a webpage. The production site pulls from github every 10 seconds, and everything reloads on demand, so I can just push new code to master and see the changes instantly.

(No need to push to github just to see changes locally, of course. Every time you reload, it checks whether any loaded files have changed.)
right? I don't see how the number of stars is anything other than a vanity metric
I don't think visible color is a good example because we still detect the resolution of it through instruments. Complexity of shapes is an interesting one. Idk about sounds though - depends on what we mean by complexity here because while Bach is more complex than idk whatever people listen to these days I'd still put them at the same "resolution". Though I guess there's a lot of things to define as far as terms go.

When I think about resolution I'm kind of imagining things that aren't measurable by us at all or possible to experience, because if we can measure them or experience them then they are part of our "resolution" sphere I'd think?

It's definitely interesting to think about. I'd love to get your thoughts and those of others too.
In Basque the words for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are: astelehena, asteartea and asteazkena, literally "beginning of week", "between week" and "end of week" respectively. People have thought that at some point the Basques had a three day week with the later days innovations, but I don't think it has been shown definitively. Interesting anyway...
Just look at the chaos being cause by COVID bucks right now - fast food joints offering $15 an hour and $500 signing bonuses and still having no takers.

Since they keep track of who starred what, that means each star is a row. Does that mean they actually delete these rows? Why not just keep the rows, perhaps with a flag or join to filter the repo out of the API.

In Germany that's very common though. Basically small is called lego, big is called duplo. No matter who it's from. It's kinda how people I google things, no matter whether you search on duckduckgo or google.
I've found that documentation is one of the first things to go when time-constrained in Sprints. The PM/PO or Team Lead will pay lip service to the idea of allotted time to documentation writing for each Story, but don't enforce that during planning. Nor do they call it out during Retros.

Heck, there's some devs, senior and junior, who don't realize the value of standard branch naming, ticket references in commit messages, etc etc. Or they'll pay lip service (again) to a conventions standard, but still continue to work the old way over and over.

The common thread among devs that I've spoken to is that they feel they aren't talented enough to write good docs, that they don't have time, and that they don't know what to write about. I feel like the team lead and higher-ups need to focus on enforcing standards for a few sprints to get everyone working on the same page.
First of all, neat concept. Small point, on desktop I have a horizontal scroll bar for what appears to be intended as a full width site, which is always a bit of a pet peeve.

I understand it's a technology demonstration, I'm struggling to decouple the clash with my aesthetic sense from the technology/framework. There are so many new UI elements (stuff floating, expanding, appearing on hover) that it really puts me off. E.g. on the navigation group that floats on the right, I guess theoretically it's cool that if you hover over "imagine" it offers a small "expand" button and then there's a neat animation as it drops down. All that feels out of place on a website though, as far as I'm used to them.

Can you expand on who you've found resonates with the tool? Is it mostly people who want a print poster on the internet, or similar image-first, single-page users?

Even if you use a search engine, most of the top results are usually amazon, or a website that links to Amazon. At least in my experience.
Actually for me I sleep better at night with caffeine in the morning. I find it helps with having a proper active / rest cycle, i.e. concentrate energy and stress during the first part of the day so I can start to wind down in the afternoon, instead of hovering around mildly stressed all the day and the evening.

One of the reason I was so disturbed by Github's dark mode when they first introduced it. And I was not the only one [1]. Thankfully, they have tried to address with different shades of dark (`dark dimmed` and `dark high contrast`) since then.

I encourage you to test a few. I found that the cheap ones blocked 2.45GHz ~60dB, but that they were still down 40dB at 600MHz... the real problems were at higher frequencies and 5GHz was only down ~20-30dB at the worst case polarization. I tried using RF absorbing tape, but while it's possible to improve another 10-20dB it's painful and not repeatable without testing, if you need to remove it.

I've also worked in RF Antenna test rooms with seals that are expensive, finicky, and easy to damage... they're also at least $10k and usually much much more. In a corporate environment that's not a problem, but for a home lab it's unrealistic.

If these bags were big enough to put a few phones and a small base antenna in they'd have other uses.
I never read the EULA when I put MacOS on my Thinkpad, so I'd file it under "willful ignorance" if I were you.

Agreed 00000 is not black, but the reflection is not from the backing layer but from the transparent glass.

if the glass’ reflection is greater than the emissivity of the actual screen, isn't the screen black for all purposes? After all, even if you painted the back of a pane of glass with vantablack you would still have a reflection of the glass!
I acknowledged several times that there a number of special circumstances that allowed us to do this, and that it probably wouldn't work for the majority of folks, but I think it would work for more people than you're seeming to imply.

I also made it clear that my comment wasn't intended to cover every single detail (like my wife's parents... and thousands of other details). I would have exceeded the max HN comment length several times over if I tried to cover everything. That's why I said I was happy to talk if anyone had any questions.

Regarding my wife's parents, they also live close by, and I suspect we will be involved in their care as well, but they also have other (adult) kids in the area, so it makes sense for us to divide and conquer a bit. Our relationship with my wife's parents would not have worked in this setting though (which isn't to say we aren't close... we see them at least a couple times per month, but living in close proximity wouldn't have worked). This was absolutely a conversation we had with everyone involved though (including my in-laws) before we moved forward with the plan.

To make matters worst, what you see with your open eyes, is not one image, is a collection of images with all kind of distortions, blur and other smudges that your brain "photoshop" away to produce an image that conforms to the flawed/bias criteria that your brains considers to be a good image. The same happens with your ears and your taste buds. Reality in our brains is pure poetry.
