> Twitch in particular is terrible for organic growth

Might be in part because the search function is so bad. I tried to use twitch to discover DJ slash electronic music streams, and had a really hard time finding what I wanted, though I could sometimes find them using other keywords.
I’ve noticed this on Polish vs Czech roads (I’ve driven mostly in the mountains border regions of Czechia so this maybe local). Polish roads have gazillion of signs and usually you’ll see a lower speed limit sign just before the curve or a bend if it’s not supposed to be driven at the speed limit of the main road. In my opinion there are way too many signs and I feel—as another poster commented here—like a robot. On the other hand in Czechia on a small mountain road there’s a general limit say 90kmh or 70kmh and there’s no way you make the bends with that speed— it’s your responsibility to slow down.

I’ve seen a similar differences in another border regions, e.g. Switzerland-France or France-Germany. It almost seems like there are two schools of thoughts that different countries subscribe to.
I'd recommend searching terms like "GOAT abbreviation" or "GOAT acronym" in such cases, both of which have explanations as first result for me. Otherwise, searching GOAT on wikipedia and going to disambiguation also has it under "other uses". wikipedia's disambiguation can be a bit overwhelming with long lists of other possible meanings, but it's usually helpful enough.
if you care about the availability of a single geographical availability zone, it's your own fault.
Because natively with macos you need to use both:
1. cmd+tab to the app you want
2. once on that app you need to use cmd+~ to navigate through the windows of that app.

Alt-Tab allows you to bypass all this and just cmd+tab through all windows of all apps. I find it incredibly useful.
> They definitely disappeared from the punk scene (for the better)

Not aware of inter-group shenanigans so feel free to elaborate, but some Crimethinc publications (like "To change everything") have been very popular in the anarchist punk scene in some places i've visited across Europe in the past 10 years.

More lately, two articles of theirs were widely-enough shared that they reached my ears without the help of my RSS feed reader:

When the Wii first came out, I had a dream that I met Tetsuya Mizuguchi, the designer of Rez (my favorite video game). In the dream, he wanted to show me what he was doing with the platform, so he put a Wiimote in my hand and guided me through the process.

The game started off with a completely black screen. By moving the Wiimote you could dispel the inky black miasma with light. It was all about uncovering what lay hidden in the darkness, and illuminating certain objects could bathe entire sections in light. Eventually it was revealed that you were in a forest, and there were ancient ruins with carvings in them, writing in a lost language that actually had meaning within the game (though I do not remember what it was).

I still smile when I encounter real games, like this one, that remind me of that dream game.
Welcome to YouTube, which might arbitrarily cut your salery because others said so.
The extreme amounts of whitespace and text zoom makes it extremely difficult to get a sense of the language.

After going to the intro, then to a chapter, then zooming to 67%... I can almost browse through some code examples and see the language. But even here, each example has extraordinary amounts of whitespace.

There needs to be a single page with substantive lines of code, at c. 67% zoom, which shows off simple-to-advanced features in one go.
This outage report reads like a violation of the SRE 101 checklist for networking management though.
It’s still super popular, more so than Cyberpunk and did all the stuff Cyberpunk shipped with, better, a long time before it. It does help that Rockstar have been basically working on making that kind of game for decades whereas CDPR haven’t.
That is actually an amusing but interesting failure mode for search, linking "GOAT" to "goat" and "chess" to "cheese" is pretty natural, but totally misleading in this case. I wonder if there's a good solution (for google/ddg/etc users) for that beyond just putting everything in quotation marks, as that doesn't seem to help much anymore.

I would say first, that's the power of exponential complexity. Second, AI in games tends to consist of somewhat complicated goal-based & fuzzy logic behaviors. Third, game AI agents have interactions that take place within a 3d world that has to be modeled accurately. That means lots of expensive computations for things like line of sight, pathfinding, and so on. Finally, given that games are soft real-time and include remarkably expensive 3D rendering, the compute budget available for AI functions I would guess would be somewhere around the order of 2ms per frame (on a 16.7 ms frame, for 60fps).

Though, two through four can usually be handled without issue, provided the devs know what they're doing & architect the engine correctly. (edit: And keep the scope in check, which ultimately is the responsibility of the leadership.) Unfortunately, this appears to be where #1 messed things up for them.
Yep I second this, Alt+Tab and Rectangle are must haves.

Lots of embedded systems are very happy using garbage collection and languages with runtimes.
I have a few of their devices implanted - NFC, Vivokey, LED, Magnet.

The LED and Magnet are for fun. I watch the Vivokey github with interest. The most use I got from the NFC was the last time I travelled to the USA.

For some reason I was always stopped, asked questions etc regardless of if it was a holiday trip (to NY) or a work event (I used to work at Automattic). Given the stops I experienced, my experience of the TSA and the fact that while in their jurisdiction I (a UK citizen) effectively had no powers I was fully expecting that my laptop could be opened and inspected. IIRC work advice was to give up any passwords. Nope.

I backed up the machine and did a clean install of the OS. On another machine I separated out that which would be essential for work, encrypted it and uploaded it to a domain I had never used before and nested the data many dirs deep.

Using my phone I then wrote the full path (without /) and the encryption key to one of the NFC chips. I knew where the slashes would go and I knew the domain, but to anyone else it was just a very long alphanumeric string.

Given these implants do not show up on current devices used to scan people, and that implants can be placed almost anywhere on the body they seem an ideal way to get data through checks. Granted the data size is tiny but it is still useful.
These CF drugs fundamentally fix one genetic defect that causes CF. Instead of kids dying of lung infections and needing transplants when they are 30, they lead almost normal loves. Seems like the kind of drugs that should cost a lot?

And the CF Foundation has (had) an ownership stake in the IP for the drug and sold it for $3.5B.

And guess what that money is going towards? More research and help for CF patients! They gave $575M to Vertex for next generation CF drugs.

Ah. I think the meaning was clearly relative to the level of play and you took it too literally.
God so many of the comments here make me wonder if HN is crawling with bloodthirsty psychopaths. I mean why has a freaking shotgun got to the hn front page?!

It's very competitive and tends to follow the Pareto principle, i.e. 10% of the people making 90% of the money. Some of it is luck and timing, some of it is hard work. Some of it probably comes down to your taste being more aligned with a broader audience.
There is one thing I will never understand, why do a lot of people talk about speed limits as the speed you need to be driving? It’s the maximum speed you can reach before being fined, it doesn’t mean “oh man I’m driving at 90km/h and the limit is 100, that’s so wrong”.

Some roads (at least here in Italy) also have a minimum speed requirement when there is no traffic, which goes higher the more you go to the left lanes, but that’s another story.

Anyway I think that reading speed limits from road signs is quite stupid and frankly useless, most of the time the speed you need to be driving is contextual and the same applies to a lot of other dynamics of driving.

Well done Mercedes, one step at a time raising the bar once you manage to do “simple” things right.

Everyone that says animals, including insects, don't have a conscience is a complete moron in my book.

I realize how people are raised is an important part of it, and yet adults should not be 5his stupid by choice.

One time, I had my dentist proudly proclaim animals don't have consciousness because it has been proven by scientists that animals don't know about death. I am no longer a client of this otherwise hot lady
Games companies aren’t ignoring this, many companies have no crunch policies and try to make work-life balance a priority. I’ve done zero crunch in the last decade working in games.

There are still people that don’t approach things rationally though. And there are ignorant people who get funding that run their teams extremely badly. There are also “evil” people who think crunch is necessary (forged through adversity etc) to make a good product.

I’ve heard more stories of long working weeks from tech startups than I have games recently. Loads of people posting here seem to regularly clock in long working weeks when the topic comes up.
-Being a Land Rover enthusiast (though for reliability, a Toyota Land Cruiser is the daily driver), I subscribe to a UK Land Rover magazine, being mailed to the rather sparsely populated community I call home on an island off the northwestern coast of Norway.

Now, a sure sign that winter is coming is that the editorials in LRM brims with expectation; soon the white mayhem will cause Britain to shut down, and Land Rover owners will again be called upon to brave the elements and go where no ordinary vehicle can go, shopping for the elderly and so on, as they are confined to their homes by a couple of inches of white powder on the ground. (Yes, I exaggerate a little for effect.)

I usually read this after having used the tractor to remove the night's 10-12 inches of snowfall from the driveway, so that my kids can ride their bikes to school.

A few years ago, I sent LRM a photo of my great aunt, living outside Kirkenes just a tad south of 70 degrees north (and, incidentally, east of Istanbul, but I digress).

She - in her early nineties - made short work of the snow and ice in her old Toyota Corolla.

It's all about what you are used to; just about any vehicle is quite capable in the wintertime if the driver adjusts properly to the conditions.

LRM didn't print my photo, though.

After ZX Spectrum Basic, Icon is the first programming language I learned once I had a PC. It's extremely good for learning event based programming and the basic principles of UI programming, as nothing gets in your way and is baked in. The syntax is also a good stepping stone to many other languages. When you're a teenager and your first self taught program in a language is an image editing GUI to build HTML image maps that says a lot about the language design and ease of use! https://gist.github.com/MattOates/076c85498232465388a39e7efc...

Every time I use generator functions in Python I wonder how many people realise this is a poor mans Icon.

It's worth pointing out that Unicon is where all the Icon development happens as OSS now. The current implementation can almost certainly still run my 19 year old program linked. http://unicon.org/

"a hardent" ? Do you mean "an ardent", or "a hardened", or a bit of both ?
Great! I'd like to do the same but not sure of using NFC tags rather than printing and sticking QR Code stickers directly to the back of the card? Please help me compare both approaches. For now, I'm thinking of:

chess has nothing to do with intelligence, unless you consider memorizing as intelligent.
My problem is that when I start observing my ”N1”, as I do when I’m in a cycle of low/bad sleep, I get worried I won’t reach deep recovery sleep. This really have become a bad pattern for me that is hard to break.
I can spend a full night in and out of N1 sleep and be completely wasted the following day.

I seem to go through these cycles with 3-4 weeks of great sleep and roughly 2 weeks of getting stuck in N1, observing.

Really interesting things show up while in this state, but it’s thoroughly incompatible with three young children…
And certain people to rule over all other people. It literally says both. The old testament is astonishingly horrible
> the best players would work with the computer rather than against it

He was certainly talking about "advanced chess"[1], where computers are used to make move suggestions but the human player actually selects the move to play. This combination of human+engine is consistently stronger than the strongest chess engines on their own. This fact also demonstrates that chess engines do not simply recommend "the best move".

Since chess is not mathematically solved, it is actually meaningless to speak of "the best move", unqualified. Certain positions are solved, such that in those positions an objectively best move does provably exist, but the vast majority of the game is still mysterious.

I recently moved into a home that has speakers in the ceiling in 4 different rooms, with all the cables running up to an upstairs (inconveniently-located) media closet. I can't figure out what to do with this setup. I'd like to be able to play music/podcasts from my phone into various rooms, and I'd only rarely want simultaneous audio in multiple rooms.

One thing I've considered is getting several cheap mini receivers and hooking each one up to a Belkin AirPlay adapter. There also seem to be some $50-ish bluetooth-enabled receivers, which would allow for the same functionality, except without the ability to play in multiple rooms simultaneously.

Has anyone dealt with a similar situation?
You could try out Voog (www.voog.com)! It is an Estonian company, but checks all your boxes.
I consume lotsa caffeine and still have weird, vivid dreams that I remember in the morning. I'd say in my case the caffeine doesn't inhibit any dream capability. I also have small fragments of lucid dreaming, but usually wake up quickly then (because of the excitement mostly).

But there have always been communists who want to organize production communally using purely voluntary means. I want to get together with other people like me and build and operate a “means of production” we control as I believe it is in our benefit to do so. But I have no interest in and explicitly oppose using force to coerce anyone into participating.

That’s exactly what Peter Kropotkin thought too, way back in the late 1800’s. I am opposite from authoritarian communists who believe that a powerful state should be used to force communism on people. I, like Kropotkin, oppose that.
I think I read that a great deal of regional health offices handling vaccination rates and infection rates during the Covid pandemic in Germany, sent their data back to higher (federal) offices with fax.
You can either pay a dedicated team to manage your on prem solution, go multi cloud, or simply go multi region on aws.

My company was not affected by this outage because we are multi region. Cheapest and quickest option if you want to have at least some fault tolerance.
Anish did talk over Judit a lot, but quite often that was justified. At the moment of the c5 blunder, for example, they were analysing that exact move because Judit had suggested it, and Anish was explaining how it was just a whole piece.
I'm sure, even if I cannot prove it, that React has its use cases. But even if you ignore the library size, it's not lightweight for any definition of the world. Preact is nice, though.
> Matter TV, as we’ll call it for wont of an official name, will allow control of a television’s core functions — volume up / down, changing the channel, controlling inputs and outputs, and switching between HDMI ports.

This is the key for me. There are plenty of ways to play audio over bluetooth, but not enough ways to control which speakers are active from my phone.
QuickConnect makes your NAS wide open to internet. It does so using UPnP or a relay station in a synology data center. Not only Stnology will likely have access to users data at the relay station (see change of certificate!), DSM login page will be open to anyone on internet (you can try random usernames on https://quickconnect.to/ and
connect to people’s NASes).

Maybe for routers it’s different, but this service is not secure for NAS.

> The problem is that since the user base is so technically inclined already, they don’t see these as problems. Or if they do, they don’t see them as being important enough.

They may not even realise that it is a potential issue. I'm a technically inclined user, and it wouldn't even occur to me to consider someone doing what Linus did there because I know because I "just know" it won't work and would gloss over it completely.

Fortunately (for everyone else) I'm not in the habit of designing UIs.
My understanding is the US constitution’s second amendment has also been interpreted somewhat literally when it refers to a “well regulated militia”. From that perspective being able to have lethal weapons is still important, though given the fact that we don’t allow private citizens to have the gear to go toe to toe with a modern military I’m not sure exactly where that ends and more mundane self-defense begins.

Idea:. Network devices should be configured to automatically prioritize the same packet flows for the same clients as they served yesterday.

So many overload issues seem to be caused by a single client, in a case where the right prioritization or rate limit rule could have contained any outage, but such a rule either wasn't in place or wasn't the right one due to the difficulty of knowing how to prioritize hundreds of clients.

Using more bandwidth or requests than yesterday should then be handled as capacity allows, possibly with a manual configured priority list, cap, or ratio. But "what I used yesterday" should always be served first. That way, any outage is contained to clients acting differently to yesterday, even if the config isn't perfect.
Kropotkin described himself as an anarchist communist in the 1890’s. There is a lot of historical meaning in the combination of those terms.
I would be every interested in reading this evidence :) The "Black Hole" hypothesis certainly explains close overlaps between "humans arrive and increase on population" and "megafauna go extinct".

But then I'm not claiming that it was all Homo sapiens - rather, climatic change had already placed species under stress, then man was the final stressor that pushed them over the brink.
I think he's very clearly "better" in that he plays objectively stronger chess moves and would beat 1972 Fischer if we had a time machine.

"Greater" is a different question, more one for sports fans than sports scientists. What do you need to be great at a sporting vocation? Pure playing strength? Longevity? If so, in years, or in number of championship matches won? Dominance over your peers? Cultural impact on the world outside of your sport? Some kind of adjusted playing strength where we hypothesize how strong players would be given all the same opportunities and training material? If so, should it be modern grandmaster games and engines, or that from an earlier era?

"All of the above" is a good answer, and depending how you weight them you could incontrovertibly claim any of Carlsen, or Kasparov, or Fischer is the "greatest". You could also try to squeeze out a case for Morphy, or Lasker, or Capablanca.
>I never quite understood why I should use this over the normal release.

Me neither. I've downloaded it a few times over the years and I can't see anything different from 'normal' Firefox. I presume its beefed up dev tools were the USP when it was first released, but every browser has those now. So I guess the choice comes down to whether you prefer your Firefox icon orange or blue.
