On the other hand, architecture back then was pretty simple though. Plus there is a big OS in middle of everything, you cannot really talk to the hardware directly nowadays. Back in the Apple ][ and DOS days it was mandatory.

That's why I have always been thinking that people actually should still start from an Apple ][/C64/80286/NES/SNES/GB these days, or maybe just embedded system for cheaper introductory tuition/quicker employment. You ignore all bells and whistles of hardware accumulated through the last 30 or so years and start from bare metal, real mode and gradually crawl from there. But without ignoring the bells and whistles of software tools people built for these platforms. I bet nowadays we have better tools for developing on these platforms. As some other commenter said, we can spin up a VM or emulator and directly look at memory and registers.
Is this game actually legit or just a scam as is popularly understood? I saw there is an alpha, but it's tough to separate fact from fiction on this game, would love to hear the perspective of some HNers.
Hoping to see cleaner ways to integrate across data sources, but developing that contract is going to take some time I think. In the meantime, should be able to get this supported with prometheus data source in a Grafana managed alert: https://github.com/grafana/grafana/pull/44865
Yeah.

Also: It sucks that bookmarklets have fallen out of fashion. I just spent a few minutes trying to find a working bookmarklet that changes the font size and failed.
Posters point wasn't that the vehicles you drive didn't effectively have engine breaking, but that in diesel designs this is something that had to be added intentionally - with [edit gas engines] you get it whether you want it or not.

Fun fact - the effect can be strong enough on a high compression motorcycle engine to break your rear tire free (obviously lots of other parameters there).
The "why" is that you will be fired, clearly :P
Well you aren't wrong.

Sadly.

> To believe there is complete consensus between experts is a similar conspiracy theory.

There’s a gulf of difference between accepting that scientific opinion is divided; and thinking experts cannot be trusted.

Conflating the two is simply silly because the former is being open minded to new evidence and analysis, and discussing those findings. Where as the latter is being closed minded to all formal evidence and analysis and refusing to discuss the science. To be honest this feels like a bloody obvious distinction that shouldn’t need to be made yet people do seem confused by it.

> People don't get vaccinated for different reasons and one very sensible on is not to make yourself a subject to "science". Because that does not exist and even statements from scientists need scrutiny, their work even depends on it. Any serious scientist will confirm that for you.

Confirm what? Your comment here it gibberish.

If people have a medical reason not to be vaccinated then they obviously should not be vaccinated. However that just means it’s even more important for all those who are able to be vaccinated to be vaccinated (to reduce the overall risk so those at risk are protected by proxy).

Saying “I don’t trust the science” is just a bullshit way of saying “i don’t understand science but also too lazy to learn it” and thus not an acceptable reason to avoid vaccination.

> You cannot generalize critics as "folks that follow conspiracy theories", as a matter of fact that is why we see less and less trust in officials. They need criticism too.

I can and I did. ;)

Yes, science does need criticism. Which is exactly why it already happens. We called it “peer review” (in fact you said yourself that scientists don’t always have a consensus so you’re contradicting your own arguments now).

The problem is people like yourself just assume those reviewers are also part of the conspiracy whenever that peer review doesn’t align with your assumed position. There’s literally Jack shit one can do to convince a person that due diligence has been done if that person has already convinced themselves that something isn’t safe and anyone that tells them otherwise is a liar.
There is an idea that might make you feel better - personal libraries (or bookmarks, in this case) shouldn't be just be a collection of books read but of books one would like to read or have on hand for future use.

This change in perspective turns your library from a "failure of accomplishment" to a "curated resource for future enrichment".
Or for that matter, switching to more efficient appliances or other types of conservation.
Turing paint is a new one to me (and very interesting to me as well, because it sounds like it uses a similar approach under the hood.) Thank you for showing me these!!
The first and last time I pre-ordered a game was for MOO3.
I won't ever be fooled again. Besides now that i've gotten older I don't care as much. I can wait.
It sounds like the definitions of "playable" and "alpha" really matter here.

When I funded the original Kickstarter, there was a pretty clear delineation between "released" and not-"released". And not-"released" generally meant that only a limited pool of outsiders (i.e., beta-testers) could even use the software.

I get the impression that "StarCitizen" is benefiting from the modern fuzziness of this concept. I don't know if they're intentionally equivocating to give themselves the best of both worlds, or if they're just a happy beneficiary of a customer base that thinks in these terms.

From my own personal perspective, Chris Roberts defrauded me by taking my money but not even trying to deliver the product in the timeframe we Kickfunders reasonably assumed.
Hell, Docker's logo evokes that imagery.
Show HN: I created a Feedback tool for Newsletters
Hi everyone! My name is Caio, I'm a Indie Hacker from Brazil and I'm a avid Newsletter reader.

Every morning I reserve one hour to read the ~20 Newsletters that I subscribe to and one day I notice something: few of them were collecting feedback from readers. The ones that does collect feedback, were using Google Forms. Opportunity? Definetly.

Collect feedback is essential because if you reader is not 100% satisfied with your content and he didn't found a way to tell you that, he will simply unsubscribe.

So, instead of subscribing to 20 more newsletters, I decided to create https://surveyx.co, a feedback tool tailored for Newsletters. The idea is simple:

The writer:

1 - Creates a Survey.

2 - Embed the question HTML directly into the email he is going to send.

3 - Wait to get some valuable feedback from people that would otherwise just Unsubscribe.

The reader:

1 - Reads the email

2 - Gives a score to the content without leaving the email (you can use different metrics such as NPS and CSAT)

3 - If enable, the reader can dive into his answer (with a open question)

4 - Is redirected for a URL configured by the writer

If you are not from Europe or the US and wants to use the tool, DM on Twitter (@caio_rolla) so I can give you a Price Parity discount.
Same impression, and it's why I spend less time here. Haven't yet lost the habit of checking daily.
OP isn't complaining about societal issues; OP is trying to drag a couple just because they have demonstrated some modicum of success and happen to be "white".

They literally mentioned nothing about societal issues, except the implicit racism in their assumption that whiteness somehow inherently detracts from people's accomplishments.
It seems based on Gecko?

> Mozilla invested a lot into R&D in XR in the late 2010s, and in late 2018 they released an experimental browser called Firefox Reality. It was a great entry into the XR field, helping establish what a browser in these devices really looks like, and figure out the unique challenges. Today we’re excited to take up this experiment and continue this work as a complete project.

A Gecko-based browser would be refreshing!

Igalia really seems to do interesting stuff.
From the thread:

> at one point one of my teammates who is usually very calm and composed deleted some of the internals to “send a message”, which was reverted the next day because it broke a bunch of things for different teams. we didn’t do this again but this started a conversation

Oof. I worked with some people who would declare things deprecated, not discuss the deprecation with anyone, and then remove the deprecated code a short while later even if it was still working just fine.

Same logic: They wanted to "send a message". And it sucked for everyone. Many meetings were had and we usually had to get management to force them to put the (still working) code back and coordinate with other teams on a deprecation schedule.

Please don't force-deprecate things within a company to "send a message" like this. (Note: It wasn't Dan Abramov who did this)
That's just your interpretation of it.

Where you see bitterness and jealousy, I just see indifference and light irony.

Doesn't that ruin the incentive structure? Your cash payments are higher when carbon use is higher.
Heh, agreed. I'm a crypto skeptic on pretty much all fronts, so I'm not going to be the one to pry away the scales. I also feel like the move to shove all and everything onto distributed ledgers is misguided (and, as you say, massively ineffecient). I've been around long enough to see other similar storage fads come and go. Everything is relational! Everything is a document! Everything is a message in a queue! And so on.

OP said cab over engine is safer for avoiding accidents (probably because of increased visibility). Not necessarily safer when an accident occurs.
And to quote the important part:

"Most diesel engines do not have a throttle body, so regardless of throttle setting a full charge of air is always drawn into the cylinders (excluding the valve fitted to certain diesels, such as fire appliances and generators on oil and gas platforms, to prevent diesel engine runaway). Compressed air generated during the compression stroke acts as an air spring to push the piston back down. As such, even with fuel supply cut off and no power strokes taking place, a portion of the energy absorbed by the compression stroke within each cylinder is returned to the crankshaft. This results in very little engine braking being applied to the vehicle.

The typical compression brake consists of a hydraulic system using engine oil which transfers the motion of the fuel injector rocker arm to the engine's exhaust valve(s). When activated, the exhaust valve opens very briefly near the engine's top dead center, and releases the compressed air in the cylinder so that the energy is not returned to the crankshaft. If used properly, a compression release brake can assist a vehicle to maintain or even reduce speed with minimal use of the service brakes. The power of this type can be around the same as the engine power."

Basically, jake brakes vent the compressed air in the cylinders at the top of the cycle.

Debunked... how? Can you link to this "debunking"?

>they do have reserves because in case something really bad happens (eg. people stop donating), they don’t want to go down instantly. I really don’t see how having a few years worth of reserves a bad thing - people really held open-source/non-profit companies to impossible standards.

This was addressed in the article.

>The WMF’s financial independence is clearly not at any risk. So what is going on? The official answer is that the WMF thinks you can never have too much money put aside for a rainy day. The WMF also has high-flying, global plans to “become the essential infrastructure of the ecosystem of free knowledge” by 2030. It says it wants to create “knowledge equity”—a world where people everywhere will have as much access to information in their own language as a first-world citizen—and that this will require continuous budget increases. In all of these endeavors, it is aided by the discovery that it has a money tap in Wikipedia, built through the work of volunteers, that it can open whenever it pleases.

The article isn't just decrying wikimedia building a massive reserve, it's decrying them massively expanding their scope.

GitHub: Update your pull request branch by rebasing
This is a really good article on the immune system.

One thing I can't help but notice though is that it only barely skirts the fact that essentially no viral vaccine prevents infection, with the possible exception of the HPV vaccine.

The vast majority of the vaccines we currently use allow infection but give the body the ability to quickly respond to and end the infection before it leads to severe disease (eg paralysis in Polio or B-cell destruction in Measles). For slowly developing viruses you may see no symptoms at all because the body is able to clear the infection but for viruses like flu and Sars-CoV-2 that attack the respiratory system it's much more difficult to prevent symptomatic disease.

Somehow there's this idea that the Sars-CoV-2 vaccines need to prevent infection or symptomatic disease but that is an incredibly high bar that no respiratory viral vaccine has ever met.

The benefit of the vaccines is that they greatly reduce severe disease, almost eliminate death, and shorten the amount of time the virus has to reproduce so transmission and variant generation are also reduced.
I've been on since mid 2015, and it feels about the same as it always has? There are a lot of curmudgeons in the world. They seem to be prevalent in tech. They seem to be drawn toward forums where they can be a curmudgeon and at worst they get down voted.

This is all my opinion but apart from dang doing some type of pull to see if more comments have been reported I don't know how you can get anything other than anecdotal responses here.

When I run into a curmudgeon and don't want to deal with them, I just move on.
> That said, I think the tone on HN is fairly good

I agree.

I've been visiting HN for years, but I'm pretty new as a commenter. AFAICS the tone is rather nicely controlled by the mods (hi, dang!) and the community. I'm glad it's a place where people can say what they think, in fairly direct terms; I'm also glad that people are expected to think before they say.

Whether conversations here are more polarized than in the past, I can't say. But societies have become more polarized lately; people are angrier, there's a lot more othering going on.

It helps a lot that HN generally disapproves of political debates.

What does coronavirus have to do with "the collapse of society"?

It's a mild virus that still hasn't even done in 0.3% of my country (by contrast, almost 3% of my lifespan has passed in the time period) and it's rapidly approaching a complete non issue.

Comparing it to climate change is dangerous because climate change is actually an existential issue for humanity in a way that just another virus is not.

We've had viruses before, we will have them again.

I find it kind of bizarre that people even refer to coronavirus as "the pandemic", ignoring all other illnesses.
To know you shouldn't use these phrases, you need to know the context.

Therefore, by not using these words, you're reminded of the context. Any time somebody notices you substituting a phrase and they know why, they will be reminded of the context.

Like all self-censorship, it immerses the speaker in the truth while they trip overthemselves trying not to say that thing.

It's like saying, "Don't think about elephants." Now everybody is thinking about it.

Also, I'm approximately their same demographic and could afford to build a house like this if the other estimates in this thread are approximate, and have literally not taken a penny from my parents, or used their resources(which are scant - I was paid more my first job out of college than both my parents combined), since I was 16.
Critical theory already has an answer for what makes suffering persist in modern life: unjust power structures baked into society at all levels: political, social, economic, epistemological, and psychic. Critical theory is a framework/toolkit for uncovering and exposing those unjust power structures.

Furthermore, the failure of Marxism and the rise of fascism are considered to be the same phenomenon. That is why, per Marcuse, only leftists deserved to speak freely: allowing other opinions to the table would only hasten the rise of the next Hitler.

Loading the game takes 10 min at best, and to wait that long only to see the one and only elevator out not rendering (requiring reloading the game) is beyond frustrating. I can deal with lag here and there, but this literally makes the game unplayable.

I agree. Lots of people push back on this point saying it's overblown, and without delving into those weeds I think it's fair to say the energy use is significant enough that people are getting cancer and dying from it somewhere.

That's before you consider the increased demand for GPUs which in turn leads to increased demand in rare earth materials, which in turn are often mined in awful conditions that also kill people. Including kids, who are mining in some cases.[0]

However, all of that considered—I think there's even more damage done by the frenzied adoption of this technology from a sociological perspective, and the prevailing attitudes towards it. It's hard to fully elucidate, but a good description might be that of western society having its head selfishly stuck up its own asshole.

There's many arguments against this line of reasoning, one might say free societies are inherently inefficient and that trying new things often comes at a cost. That said, I view this more as a deleterious social contagion with little point, fueled by a sort of faux-intellectual buying frenzy that social media is all too good at serving as a conduit for.

Then you look at social media itself, its deleterious effects across the entire sociological spectrum, chipping away at any semblance of attention (and thus critical thinking) that people once had—in addition to skyrocketing demand for devices, with carriers and device manufacturers playing right along in the form of planned obsolescence of perfectly good hardware—and you quickly realize this shit's rotten to the core.

I think it's reasonable to view the NFT craze as a second-order effect of modern information platforms failing on a fundamental level. They are bullshit-reinforcing systems.
