Sounds good, just waiting for an updated flavor with 2.5Gbit ports. I keep routers for a long time and 2.5G is pretty common for the last few years. Seems like in the last few years many motherboards and Comcast modems come with 2.5G. Even some Intel chipsets are supporting 2.5G these days.

Currently I have a EdgeRouter 6p + 2 Ubiquiti APs. But I'd like to update the router to something with at least 4x2.5G, or maybe 2x10G and a few 2.5G.

For many formerly religious people God was very "real" as a force they thought existed and had an effect on them, and I think it's quite possible to feel hate towards that God and what he represents, even if you no longer thinks he literally exists.
There isn't any pointer to optimize out really, I don't think - at the machine level, a pointer is a pointer is an integer number regardless of its type at the source code level.

What can be measureable though is function call overhead - if you write a sort function that takes a function pointer and your sort function calls that, there is a lot of work for saving the local state, preparing all the arguments for the function, etc. That work can potentially be avoided if the compiler can inline the function call into (a copy of) your sort function.

From my reading of the issue, no. The limiting factor on the Pi side is available storage buffer. The camera sends raw files down the wire and the app caches them in RAM before concatenating them with ffmpeg. Could a Pi4 with USB3 NVMe be used? Maybe, if the writes are faster than the camera.

I did one of these for Hulu (https://github.com/chris124567/hulu) a while back. It didn't take very long to write. Most of these programs are just using the pywidevine library along with some key that's been leaked (if you know how to navigate Github search you can find one in a couple of minutes) and then integrating the streaming site's API. I wrote mine in Go because I got sick of the pywidevine hegemony and I felt it was unnecessarily complicated. The annoying thing is that key revocations are happening pretty frequently now. It's another one of those pointless cat and mouse games.
It's server side magic. The connection is kept open, and there's link to load more along with an img tag with loading="lazy" at the bottom of the page.

Without knowing anything about LastPass, a few ideas come to mind. First, is your master password only something that exists in your head? Or is it written down anywhere else either digitally or physically. If so, someone may have gained access to that. Did you use the same password anywhere else, ever? If so, it could have been in a database of possible passwords that someone used to try to brute force a copy of your KeePassX file, and succeeded. Also possible liabilities for brute force attacks are using a password that contains some kind of facts or information related to you, such as a birthday, loved one's name, address, etc, etc.

The other possibility that comes to mind is a man in the middle attack of your password was ever sent over the wire with zero or weak encryption, when someone was snooping, like on coffee shop wifi or even a nosy neighbor on your home wifi.

> Is the game distributed and executing on the blockchain? If not, you're close to understanding how NFTs very expensively do not solve this problem…

Games can be deployed on IPFS right? Access to play games on IPFS be trustless, such as holders of NFTs, right?

That is not the only way to employ blockchain technology to avoid a centralized company removing access to games you paid for, but not knowing your familiarity with the current state of the technology that is low hanging fruit.

Also let’s not pretend there isn’t a legal contract between Ubisoft and users, but it’s that very contract that gives them the legal right to take away access to games you have paid for by the rules they dictate. Even if Ubisoft breached the contract, no one is going to hire a lawyer to sue Ubisoft over breach of contract over the cost of a game…don’t forget to take into account legal fees and costs when calling the blockchain expensive.

I think such a study would not reveal anything but rather mundane truths.

> By that I don't mean Cosplayers or Manga fans, but rather the "tech" version of nerddom - people who don't follow Manga, Anime, or Idols, but are fascinated with anything if it's related to Japan.

For some reason, you are putting up a strong separation here that I am not sure actually exists in real life. People don't compartmentalize their hobbies and remaining interests into two separate buckets that have nothing to do with each other.

I find it reasonable both that:

- People who watch anime or read manga all day are more likely to notice, upvote, and share a story about Japan just due to the proximity of language.

- "Nerds" as you put it are more likely to be into anime or manga in the first place.

Given these two, it follows that nerds are more likely to share general stories about Japan without any of the much darker reasons you seem to posit.

Similarly, I would also find it reasonable that someone listening to and practicing Euro-centric music all day is more likely to share stories that have a mainly Euro-centric context.
I think you just need to go in with an understanding of what a router and related things (access point, switch, modem etc.) actually are.

We designed it to be as comfortable as possible for ourselves. I and the other core people involved in this project all had RSI. Glove80 is unusual in that it had gone through literally hundreds of A/B ergonomic testing experiments to arrive at the final design.

> The question may be silly, but how does GOG handle multiplayer ?

It depends: some games implement multiplayer through their publisher's private servers (e.g. Paradox games) so users can play together regardless of the shop they bought the game from. Some others (e.g. Dying Light) reimplement multiplayer replacing Steam facilities with GOG Galaxy. In that case interoperability is not possible maily because GOG Galaxy doesn't implement the same anticheat system. Finally some other games whose multiplayer is based on Steam, had the multiplayer removed in the version sold on GOG (e.g. modern XCOM games).

> Also, their list is sadly quite limited it seems, for the games many play.

Nowadays the game market offers more than just AAA games and for people like me who stopped buying DRM-protected games and are not interested in multiplayer there are still many good games to enjoy. Some AA and AAA games are also published on GOG after a while, so it's just matter to wait and support GOG's business model if you don't like DRM.

VCV Rack has been featured a lot of times on HN (https://hn.algolia.com/?q=vcv+rack), and judging by the "2" in the submission title, I think OP wanted to highlight the new version that was just released, hence appropriate to link to the release logs instead.

Well, it is called "Hacker News" and hackers tend to be technical, kind of makes sense.
> main developer(s) are using crowd funding and nothing has really been "wow"

It's funny: I think these are both positive signs.

The weight of history tells us that the overwhelming majority of new languages will die. So, in that sense, I agree zig probably will too. However, I think it's worth separating languages into ones that have essentially zero chance to survive long-term, and those that have a reasonable non-zero chance to succeed (and those in the middle).

To me, zig is the most promising "better C" (which is why I'm one of those people crowd-funding zig). Since I think we really need a better C, I think zig is on the side of those with a reasonable non-zero chance to succeed.

Some things that might get it over the hump:

Zig aspires not just to be a better C, but a better C compiler. It includes a first-class C compiler (Clang/LLVM), and adds first class cross-compiling support.

Along with native C integration and a language designed to appeal to C programmers, it's potentially low-friction to adopt in places where one would go to C now.

That is, it seems to me there is a viable, incremental path from C to Zig. (Incremental is important. E.g., even if zig succeeds, there won't be a RIIZ movement because there's no need. People will write or rewrite as it makes sense for their project, not their programming language.)

I get that zig is a work-in-progress, and that it may well not succeed. Just that it looks like it has the best chance to me (or maybe it's just that I like the approach it is taking).
No, this is about memory bandwidth.

Thanks -- this specific master password was only stored in another, offline, password manager.

The specific password was computer generated, and I have not used it anywhere else i.e. it was only created for this LastPass account.

That's why this (probably) either means that my local password manager has been compromised (catastropic if true) or that the info I received from LastPass is not completely accurate..?

> I consider being unable to post or even read comments to be a major functional breakdown.

For a blog? I disagree, because the point of a blog is to read the author’s comments, not those of third parties.

> Comments are non-interactive text, there's no justifiable reason why I should need JS to read them.

I kinda agree. The issue is that it is very rare to find a static site generator which can interface with a dynamic comment storage. To be honest, I don’t know that one exists, although of course it is completely possible. I can understand as a pragmatic matter why someone might have a static blog, want to add comments and not be willing to run his own dynamic comment system, esp. if that would entail writing said system.

All that being written, it would be awesome to have a static site generator which were called by a hook in a dynamic comment server. I actually would like to write one someday!
Liking it so far. You do a good job of explaining how to activate the share extension, which is not an easy task!

One low-hanging fruit is to have an option for the page background color to match the system theme dynamically, instead of having to set it into day/night mode manually each time.

>I.e. look at used techstacks and how they work together (React, FastAPI, sqlalchemy).

I see a vast number of posts on HN about React or some other web framework.

There’s more to software engineering than learning the latest flavor of how to render webpages.

Many projects don’t require the complexity of these frameworks and all the added middleware and layers upon layers of tooling.

These are bored people, who solve the same problems again and again, and invent new forms of complexity as if they’re undertaking the Gemini missions or Apollo missions.

It’s less about frameworks or specific tool chains. The biggest piece of advice I can offer you is to get out of your comfort zone, and learn to manage complexity and ambiguity.

This is what I didn’t know earlier in my career.

It’s not so much about quickly learning whatever new framework to once again solve the same problem people have been solving for decades. It is, however, about simplifying complexity, and thinking about how you or your team will support something in the future, will your solution be extensible as and when your product evolves, etc.

Work on projects where you solve problems that are hard to you. Work with more senior people whenever you can. Learn from them. Get comfortable with being out of your comfort zone.

But don’t burn yourself out. Drink water. Exercise. Don’t let your job become your identity.

Also, work on your communication - whether written form or verbal. Write clearly using full sentences. Be mindful that others may not have the context you have or don’t have the expertise you have in a specific. In fewer words, you want to convey a clear message.

Being able to communicate and break down complex topics will natural help you build influence and promote yourself in your career. The leaders will come to you for your judgement.

> Is there a difference? Or do you think both are unacceptable?

Loans by themselves are acceptable; loans with interest are not, because you're making a profit from what could potentially be slavery.

A licit way to do it would be to have a purchase-repurchase agreement. I pay $5000 to "buy" a car, and I'm guaranteed to be able to sell it back for let's say $4000 a week later. That way, if I default on it, I can never end up in debt.

Loans backed by people's ability to earn income are a form of slavery, and earning interest off this is not licit.
Now you can really move zig.

Got it, thanks. And yes, you're right, after checking, Chrome extensions don't have access to local files by default. I checked all of the extensions I have (after disabling them all) and none had "file access" enabled.

The study does not conclude that at all. They only concluded they might be able to trick some people to make money off a a drug they will make.

Limitations: We hypothesize that the healthier metabolic profile observed in homozygous c.273_274delAG carriers was mediated by acetate produced by gut bacteria; however, we lack data to firmly verify this hypothesis.

Impact: Our results suggest that sucrase-isomaltase constitutes a promising drug target for improvement of metabolic health, and in a broader perspective add to the debate about the health effects of sugar consumption.

You know, it could be that these people are healthier because they avoid sugar because sugar makes them feel like crap when they get overloaded with aceatate.

There is no evidence that higher levels of acetate are better for people. Because if that as so drinking would be healthy for everyone.

It's weird. I used to have a full blown desktop setup with multiple screens and had massive neck pain which required me to buy expensive split keyboards.

I've since moved a few times and am currently living in a trailer fulltime. I just use a laptop (no external devices) and I don't have the neck pain anymore.
After a bit of searching, I wasn't able to find any PHP forum software that LastPass lets you log in to. I could only find one official-seeming forum, and it uses a different login. So, I think this is FUD... I don't use LastPass, but accusing them of something like this (and using the phrase "or whatever") is pretty serious without proof.
