Indeed the author has caught on that graphics is now much wider. Yet his post still focuses on the APIs. A bias he admits to.

APIs are the easy part of graphics programming. Now perhaps I say that out of bias, as I focus on shaders and artist work pipelines. The author focuses on APIs and thus reached for a simpler API as a teaching on ramp, while I would new learners run the other way and learn the basics of blender.

Learn blender, basic 3d modeling. Then dig into understanding how a model goes from disk, to cpu, to gpu. Understand what a draw call is, then batching in its many forms using a commercial engine. Once you know what everything should "look like" and what the state of the art is, only then reach for APIs and write a from scratch renderer.

If the learner has no idea about fultrusm culling, or triangle stripping, or instancing, or uniforms, or texture binding: a fresh from scratch c++ is a horrible learning experience.

Edit: When learning use either Unreal or Godot. You need source access. Time spent learning Unity is time lost. The author should not suggest unity is anyway equal for learners. Digging into the renderer requires breakpoints and source code.
Why do we need to be more productive? I’d take a less productive, more sustainable and relaxed society over what we have now.

Good books are hard to come by after you read quite a few. To me most now read like rehashes of what I read before.
I suppose you can still find that sequence of words, but I think it usually coveys happenstance, not intention, as it does here. This sentence reads as very dated to me:

> The original machine had a base plate of prefabulated amulite, surmounted by a malleable logarithmic casing in such a way that the two main spurving bearings were in a direct line with the panametric fan.

In modernese:

> The original machine's base plate is made of prefabulated amulite, surmounted by a malleable logarithmic casing designed to line up the two main spurving bearings directly with the panametric fan.

Still not great writing but doesn't trip my age sensors. It's not just the "in such a way" but also the use of "of" for material composition. "A coat of wool" etc

Edit: reorganized for clarity
Somehow OAuth for native apps is never covered in “complete” guides, and yet it is among the most challenging (how do you verify an inherently untrustworthy client?) and quite frequently used ways of integrating OAuth.

There is an RFC for that though, and I know this will be controversial but my recommendation regarding OAuth in general is to spend a bit of time and just read all the specs first[0][1][2][3]. It informs you on the basics, and gets you a superpower of being able to spot non-compliant implementations from afar.

Thought the same thing when I read the article. We aren't alone - if you Google "borderline personality disorder" it says "Very common" [0]. Same for Bipolar, though DID (which the article also mentions) is "Rare" at < 0.1%.

The point of society shouldn't be that everyone is so hedonistic the highlight in their day is surfing. If you're a mother or a father, if you have a church to go to, if you have relatives, if you're part of a political organization or a community you can't just make your own schedule.

This isn't bad, it means that you're an adult. If everyone lived this Peter Pan lifestyle we wouldn't have anything you'd call a civilization, we'd just have a bunch of grown up kids.

A community consists of interdependent people, it's not just a room full of individuals. Defining freedom in opposition to responsibility is an adolescents idea of freedom. That's a valid perspective in youth, not when it's time to be a person others can rely on.
I'm already doing that, the main issue is then getting back on people's schedule. I somehow end up going to sleep at 6am if I follow my mood...

It is likely that the CGNATs are slower when doing translation to IPv4 rather than just passing (with some filtering) IPv6.

10ms does seem like a lot though. Maybe a remote lookup? Or something to do with prefering IPv6 with a small delay (happy eyeballs related?)

The guy worked hard and earned his year off, don’t dismiss it by calling it privilege. He has the skills and intelligence and hard working habits to earn the year off, this is not privilege. Successful people aren’t successful because of privilege, that’s just a label for an excuse by those who aren’t successful. You get what you earn in life.

Supposedly the "Photonic Fence" underwent a big test in 2017:

https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2017/07/laser-shooting-mosqu...

"... The Photonic Fence will finally be tested later this summer in Florida, in a screened-in structure, against the Asian citrus psyllid, an invasive bug that is devastating the state’s orchards. So long as it manages to leave the bees alone — the last thing we need is more dead bees — it will then be tested in the open. ..."
To be clear, I don't disagree, but that's an orthogonal point. China may very well beat the west and drive the next few generations of innovation and growth, but their dominance of PCB stuffing and volume tantalum capacitor manufacturing will have nothing to do with that. Those things are valueless commodities, by definition the next Big Product will be something else.

Should we then start separating whites from non-whites since the latter are more at risk of being desease carriers? Why not separate water fountains! And what about basing our policing on crime stats? Should we stop and frisk certain groups known to be statistically more inclined to commit criminal acts?

The comment said your system has a bug as in it malfunctions and decides to shoot the coin anyways, and his other point was you will be looking at the coin wide eyed so perfect chance for a reflected laser to hit you in the eye if by chance the correct angle happens to line up and send it back to your eye. Also, I've seen too much unbelievable stuff actually happen so nothing is unbelievable in 2022.

> They know full well that once a country monopolizes manufacturing, they could quickly pivot into dominating a market, especially if they justify the wholesale theft of intellectual property through nationalism (“the West exploited us in the 19th century, so our companies stealing their intellectual property is just fair play).

Well, much of that so called intellectual property progressed out of tax funded research. The so called west use to mass produce RND which made a rather epic combo. It was the neoliberal agenda that didn't care about slow long term progress that killed it just like local manufacturing.

> the West exploited us in the 19th century

"the west" should probably not be the title of the entity but damn, China was completely and utterly obliterated. This of course much like Asian leaders from the region did to other countries and among their own long long before.

One cant make an omelet that size without breaking many many eggs.

Walking alone in a forest behavior is very different than having a companion, replace the companion and it is again very different. Now if you add more and more people it increasingly matters less who they are but as the numbers go up the weirdness grows until you get things no single human would ever do. Groups of people are not a person. Free form self organization will quickly look very sensible but without people at the top entitled to say NO to stuff it may also turn into utter chaos over night. All ever so slightly refined qualities people might have are lost in the chaos theory and you get uniform instinctive behavior.

I want pepper, the next guy wants rice in the giant omelet. Some are lactose intolerant so the end result wont even have cheese in it.

Imagine that! No cheese!

Did he really say "we all got pneumonia in our lungs"? Pneumonia is inflammation in your lungs, that isn't normal. You die from it when it fills your lungs with pus and blood, pus and blood in your lungs isn't normal either.
You should be able to set your working hours in Outlook. You specify days of the week and start and stop time. In your calendar when people look to book meetings in times outside of your office hours the time will be grey or some other shade.

"All staff members preparing to depart to the station had to undergo a PCR test in Belgium two hours before leaving for South Africa, take a PCR test five days after their arrival in Cape Town, where they also had to quarantine for ten days. Another test was required when leaving Cape Town for Antarctica and another PCR test had to be undergone five days after arrival."
It's just an example. I've worked with industrial laser cutters (100+watt CO2) before and even with all of the protective equipment built into the machines, you still wear glasses. The idea that you could use something like this in an exposed way is crazy to anyone who's actually worked with them. Any mistake is instant and permanent. You can't make a consumer product out of this. Maybe like a large box that only mosquitos could enter but at that point, you have easier methods than a visual system moving a laser to mm tolerances.
We are talking about two different safety issues:

(1) Targeting the wrong thing.

(2) Even if the targeting is correct, missing by a small amount, or running the laser for slightly too long, and hitting something else by mistake.

If the lasers converge for full flux, the risks associated with (2) are better managed, but that doesn't speak to (1).
Looks like the phrase was written about in 1892. Probably it's older than that, though.

> The term is attributed to William Osler, who in the first edition of his book The Principles and Practice of Medicine (1892) wrote:

This is the only one which i have framed and put up on the wall to use as a daily reminder of "How to Cope with Life".

For example, i have been living with this for the past few years;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on”;

Gives me Solace.

These are the keywords you are interested in: The Finders, FBI, CIA memo to NBC, North Korea visa. It has been my experience that the more effort one puts into sharing something like this with a stranger on the internet - the more easily it is dismissed.

Yeah, I prefer the discussions via essay format as well. Instead of the quick meme reactions. I guess it's good for comedy and being edgy, but not really for high quality ideas. I vaguely recall seeing a Show HN of a discovery tool for personal blogs, but don't think it really took off. Sad to see.
Well that doesn’t accurately describe the state of affairs in historical India so there’s not much more I can say.
>Your focus on your own 'experience' appears to be blinding you to the topic at hand, which does not involve spell checkers. Perhaps does not cover the area of literacy and how it is assessed?

You joined the thread well after its topic was set in place, and, frankly, I don't know what you think the topic is.

The comment I was responding to did specifically involve spell checkers; did you miss it?

Your last sentence seems to be missing a subject.

And if you thoroughly read the originally submitted Wikipedia article, you'll find out that:

* The notion of literacy (in the language sense) includes reading
as well as writing (particularly, as assessed by NAEP). In fact, any notion of literacy mentions the ability to read and write.

* The notion of literacy, as assesed by NAAL, also includes quantitative literacy (something I have expertise in)

* The issue of (lack of) equity in literacy assessment has been particularly highlighted in the Wiki article

* Spell-checker is a way to achieve equity in writing assessments for people suffering from dyslexia

The commentor I was responding to would be deemed "illiterate" by these assessments for not remembering how to spell words like "through". Yet that person has very clearly demonstrated that they don't struggle with either understanding other people's points, nor clearly expressing their own.

Something that can't be said of most (ostensibly literate) people even on this forum, sadly.

>Perhaps does not cover the area of literacy and how it is assessed?

It pays to understand oneself. Why do people want _every_ fig on the tree? It's because of greed, and desire.

If yo can imagine yourself be satisfied with obtaining just one of those figs, instead of only being satisfied from having it all, you'd have a much better time alive.

It's the same root philosophy as finishing one project to completion, rather than start many but never finishing it to the end.
> the war I wage every night when I get a second rush of energy from mind-altering books

Two things I've experienced with this. First is that there seems to be a half-life on this activity. One day one may ask themselves, what tangible benefit have I gained from all these germs of wisdom and information I've gleaned over the years? Second is that invariably, outside of "hard" disciplines, there's nearly always a counter argument or viewpoint that can be equally compelling.

So for myself, the way two decades of intellectual curiosity manifests is the conversations I have with my kids. They generally think I'm a bore, but sometimes I relate something that seems to give them a spark.
>Yeah the right in the US has always preferred to pretend like racism is an abstract idea

It depends. Some are elected and some are appointed. There are advantages and disadvantages to both.

For what it's worth, the title did confuse me. What the author seems to mean is audio files as opposed to physical media, not the MP3 format in any specific way. I thought it would be a technical discussion of the MP3 format when I clicked the thread. Your example seems much harder to misunderstand in typical contexts so I'm not sure the comparison really works.

(Then to add to the confusion, the article starts with: ``by “MP3s” I mean any fixed digital documents of audio. So, by “MP3s,” I also mean WAV files, and FLAC, and ALAC, etc. Actually, I specifically don’t mean WAV`` err so what's it gonna be...)

Of course, I do see your point in general. It's like cryptography vs. cryptocurrency (crypto=?) or some people objecting to the media's use of the word "hacker" to mean "criminal as applied to the digital domain". Those battles are lost and that's just how the language evolved: everyone knows that crypto in an investment context doesn't refer to public key encryption and that hackers on the news don't mean painters (reference: http://www.paulgraham.com/hp.html). But for MP3s, in this particular case, I think the author caused more confusion than clarity.

Not sure "pushing" is the correct term. I remember when Hulu and Netflix started to disrupt the market a lot of Canadians were trying to trick those companies into serving them, with fake addresses and VPNs.

The infant mortality rate is based on extremely misleading statistics.

In the US, if a baby is born who can be saved but isn't, their death is reported in the neonatal mortality statistics. But in other countries it is more common for babies in these situations to be counted as miscarriages or stillbirths.

In the US, very low birth weight infants are considered to be alive (because, of course, they are), but in Canada, Germany, Australia, and other countries, a premature baby weighting less than 500g is considered to be already dead, even if it is breathing and has a heartbeat. So they don't have to add it to their infant mortality statistics when their healthcare system fails to save its life.

In fact, since the year 2000, of the 52 surviving babies who were born weighting less than 400g, 42 were born and saved in the US.
