I think it’s too general an assertion to draw any conclusions from, to be honest: there’s about the same distance from Windows 95 (or System 7.5) to the introduction of Mac OS X as there is from OS X to iOS.

Take Intel and Microsoft Windows out of the equation, and it becomes rather clear that security and stability arise from decent software development with good, hardware-sympathetic tools on a power-per-watt competent platform.

And I give credit to AMD for essentially keeping Windows PCs alive as a platform: at each OS inflection point, they’ve provided, far more so than Intel, the extra performance-per-watt that papers over Windows’ shortcomings to provide a better multimedia experience.

Is there a limit when looking at retro games when the retro-ness becomes a burden rather than "old games is simpler"? Obviously if you move too far back in history you end up with basically game specific hardware, long-dead assembler code. In the original wolfenstein it seems there is a bunch of code relating to things that manage weirdness that we no longer care about (paging, legacy graphics handling) which obscure the actual game.

Was there a "peak" in simplicity when games were at their simplest for a reader from 2022? That is, they are modern enough to not be obscured by historical weirdness yet still simple enough to be approachable? Perhaps Doom is simpler to understand than Wolfenstein for this reason?
Just get melatonin drops. They say 1.5mg on the label, but that's for 10 drops or 150mcg per drop, so you can take 2 drops for 300mcg or 3 drops for 450mcg.
You can generally turn any random binary distribution into a uniform binary distribution by generating two bits, then if they're different, output the first bit, and if they're the same, ignore the result.
There are a lot of math papers / work that are "hey I saw a funny equation/morphism/shape/etc, what does it 'do'?" that present a lot of conjectures / constructions but are weak on any conventionally called a theorem. https://erich-friedman.github.io/packing/ is probably one of the best known on HN.
It's pretty new and not yet considered mainstream. But it's under active development and is used for real commercial projects.
Neck muscle problems sometimes show up as sinus issues. All the muscles of the head are tightly linked in crazy feedback loops. For example, there's a muscle at the base of the back of your neck called the suboccipital that is linked to your eyeballs. You can feel it flex and move when you move your eyes around! That's totally unintuitive to me from a basis of minimal human biology knowledge.

Anyways, this is very relevant to knowledge workers many of us eventually succumb to forward head posture, which is like slamming on the brakes of a car doing 100mph. Except we do it every day for hours at a time. Eventually stuff gives out.
I’m talking about an event like the incompleteness theorem that ends aspirations like those of Russell and Whitehead. Paradoxes that lead to new axioms like in the development of set theory.

Deductive frameworks can’t be wrong in the way that experimental results can be statistical anomalies. The author conflates errors with perfectly reasonable experimental results later shown to be anomalous upon replication.

It isn't, it takes the derivative of the derivative operator, not just applying the derivative to a function several times. Fractional calculus is the study of viewing derivatives as a continuous quantity rather than discrete, so there taking derivative of the derivative operator makes sense.

You could very well mean something different than what that article is talking about, but it isn't like I am just saying that a second order derivative is the same thing as what you are talking about. But if you mean something different than "the derivative of the derivative operator" then you aren't very good at explaining what you mean, you have to be more precise as math is a wide field and if you describe an object imprecisely then people will misunderstand.

> I also have a PhD in maths, thanks.

You yourself argued that people with PhD in math gets this wrong, so I don't see why you would bring this up. But the most likely scenario is that you just failed to communicate your thoughts properly since you used imprecise language. Maybe mathematicians should get taught more how to be precise with their statements, but usually they can rely on the crutch of old notation. I did invent new notation and solved some old unsolved problems that way in grad school, and the other mathematicians had no problems understanding what I wrote, so mathematicians have no problems understanding new things from my experience.

You can accuse antivax by putting too much meaning into the word “experimental” but you shouldn't fall for their attempts to redefine the meaning of this word and argue from that position.

Experimental can be just something that is used in an experiment or trial. You can take a substance that is known as completely safe (NaCl in small quantities, for example) and then experiment on it. It will be called “study drug” for the purposes of research. The regulators actually don't use the term “experimental drug” but colloquially experiment is just another word for a test or trial.
"Addictive without being negative" It is enough reason to not touch it.
> When you rewrite a joke because it's not funny in a different language, and the original writers approve, that's not actually censorship but they complain anyway.

humor can be legitimately difficult to translate. I don't complain about them and I don't expect them left as literal translations + editor's notes to explain them in games (although that's a great option for other mediums). The goal should always be to stay as true to the original as possible.

> it does serve the creators' desires, which is for people to actually buy their products.

That might be one of the most cynical views of art I've read in a good while. I think most creative people want their works to be seen and understood and are doing it for much more than just a paycheck. Ultimately, everyone does hope their games are successful and they want to be able to make a living, but I don't think many writers and artists would put money as their top priority. If all you want is to be rich, there are a million better career choices.
I wish I could be fully confident that this comment was a joke.
That's exactly what it's doing:

let rayAngle = player.angle - player.fieldOfView / 2;
for(let rayCount = 0; rayCount < screen.width; rayCount++) {

// ... SNIP ...

// the ray moves at constant increments
let rayCos = Math.cos(degreeToRadians(rayAngle)) / precision;
let raySin = Math.sin(degreeToRadians(rayAngle)) / precision;

// ... SNIP ...

// increment the angle for the next ray
rayAngle += incrementAngle;
}

It's also using Euclidean distance rather than planar distance for the apparent wall height calculation.

Anecdotal, but cutting caffeine completely for at least a month is something that I think anyone with sleep issues should try.

I drank at least five cups of coffee every day for the last couple of decades. While I have tried to keep away from it for a week now and then, I have never managed to eliminate caffeine entirely, and still ingested some from other sources like tea and soda.

Until last year, when I started taking some medication that interacts with caffeine, forcing me to drop it could turkey. Aside from the splitting headache and flu-like symptoms that persisted for three days straight during withdrawal, my sleep almost instantly improved. For most of my adult life I have been a very light sleeper, waking up easily and having a hard time falling asleep. While I still have some nights where I can't fall asleep, the number of those have reduced significantly. Finally, I can actually remember my dreams again, and they are often quite vivid.

"Brave discourages using VPNs for the purpose of downloading ad catalogs from other countries. Doing so may increase the chances of being flagged as suspect, and result in issues with claiming tokens on the payment date."

As far as I know, this is something that happens automatically without user intervention, and I don't see any settings or buttons to push related to this.

Therefore, if you use a VPN while using Brave, you might be flagged as "suspect."

Is this why even though they partnered with Guardian to provide VPN services for iOS in 2020 [1] they have yet to provide desktop support?

Well, been down the Prometheus/Alertmanager path and it is pretty workable there.

You would get all the templating and grouping by labels.

Dashboards can showed Prometheus alerts through annotations on the graphs. So you get a visual feedback what was broken when.

Firing alerts are also a metric on Prometheus, so you can list those (or do other stuff with it).

It's not a UI thing though. More the lower layers to get stuff for Grafana.
nice scale for technical risk, is there room in it for scientific risk?
Your comment about fake news is about masks. The context of that is clear. My comment cannot retroactively change the context of a comment I’m replying to.

Though this is another good example of why I gave up with Facebook (and an increasing tendency I’ve noticed on HN too): conversations get really meta really quickly. When peoples views are based on opinion rather than science it’s impossible to hold a conversation with anyone because you cannot cite opinion. Thus conversations quickly degrade into meta arguments where opinions are “proven” by boring their opponents via “death by a thousand paper cuts”. It becomes as worthwhile as debating atheism with a priest (people are entitled to opinions but arguing over beliefs is never going to end well for either party).

So the smarter thing to do here is me to duck out of the conversation now.

This is how the narrative of Facebook looks to me:

Zuckerberg got lucky and then executed brilliantly, transitioned from nerd hacker to CEO amazingly well. He deserves a lot of credit for that.

Since then, Facebook have innovated very little. Zuckerberg recognised this, and bought Instagram and Whatsapp in lieu of building an innovative company. The latter is clearly really difficult to do.

Without a stream of new ideas and products (unlike, say, Apple) Facebook double-downed on maximising revenue growth from their core advertising business. This led to all the scandals and disasters they have brought us, including destabilising societies.

Inevitably, this led to the core product becoming less attractive, and people were also turned off by the negative press. Zuckerberg's rigid control of the company has led to him being a lightening rod for the backlash against big tech and especially adtech. His media skills are awful, so insisting on control and making himself a figurehead has further damaged the business.

Zuckerberg knows the only way out is another home run. He's a super smart and prescient thinker, so he can see VR is a good play. It looks like the timeline for VR won't be short enough to save FB, but even if it were arriving soon enough he must know that FB probably isn't capable of delivering a truly new thing.

This then marks the beginning of the end for the company, as it continues to bring in revenue from Instagram and monetises Whatsapp. Its sheer size means decline is going to take decades.

I wouldn't be surprised if Zuckerberg leaves in the next few years, before the failure of Meta strategy becomes apparent.

What they _should_ have done is debatable, but developing some sense of ethics might have helped. I think they could have focused on building Whatsapp into a payments (etc) app, which would have created an enduring product, and then used the time that bought them to rebuild the company.

Microsoft are showing that it can be done, but I wonder if Facebook has the capacity to do great things. Perhaps the lesson from MS is that only a new leader can rescue such a mired company.
Regarding Steam, had anyone else noticed the increase in adult related games? As in full on porn "interactive stories". Are developers now getting so desperate that they've turned to porn to fund their industry?

Update: It has been pointed out that the methodology used to arrive at the -0.2% number is incredibly strange. The authors selected seven studies to include in their calculation, with estimates ranging from 0.0% to -35.3%.

The arithmetic average across the seven studies is -7.3% and the median is -2.4%, however the authors instead calculate a "precision-weighted average" where one study is weighted significantly higher than the rest (7390 vs 11-256 for the others, see Table 3 for details) and the number from that one study (0.1%) pretty much overwhelms all the others.

I don't think there is a reasonable explanation for doing the calculation this way unless you are intentionally trying to massage the numbers to support a pre-determined outcome. Very suspicious.

Common Lisp, however, has a "top type" T which is a supertype of all types. So one can manipulate lambdas themselves as if they're untyped.

Of course, I personally don't think programming in Lisp has much to do with wielding lambda calculus in any superlatively direct sense.
Apparently not, as the hard fork into Ethereum and Eth. Classic proves. Once every big stakeholder decides the game isn't in their favor anymore, they change the rules.
I my case the things that helped the most:

1) Melatonin 300mcg (2 drops) -- usually after 2-3 days, taking it I found I don't need it for another 3-4 days. No tolerance at 300mcg. I've tried other drugs that I still use for when I'm stressed (zolpidem which I actually like recreationally but won't take it when there are others in the house, antihistamines, or benzodiazepines).

I cannot stress how good it feels to know that I have options in case I can't sleep. The same with panic attacks I had a few years ago -- once I knew I had lorazepam/alprazolam in my wallet and I could end any panic attack in 15 minutes, the panic attacks stopped by themselves. Just having the option gives me peace of mind. The same for polydrug usage that helped with my BPD -- having the ability to just change the way you feel was such a blessing and the beginning of the end of BPD for me (70% was dealt with by therapy).

2) Actually fixing the problems in my life -- when I'm happy with my work, my child, my wife, I exercise a little (even just a bike ride in the park), I practice my hobbies, I socialize a little -- in such days I sleep like a baby.

3) The whole sleep sleep hygiene thing -- it's just a cherry on top of the cake, if I had a good streak of days where I was content/happy, I can basically do everything sleep hygiene says but in reverse and still get a great sleep.

One aspect that is special to social sciences and not discussed enough, (and what was partially mentioned in this thread) is that in this case science is built on moving grounds. Viral papers influence society, society itself changes due to other factors. Metrics become goals. And that's why they have a time constraint for the period when falsification is possible. This continuous validity constraint is unknown, but it exists for every social phenomenon.
Here's where you are wrong
> But they might! And you would not notice that the framework had become inconsistent for a while.

As the author stated, the math can be reproduced by reading it: ergo, thee is no barrier to entry except knowledge. The other sciences do not have this luxury - they require access to specialized instruments, participants, funding, and most importantly - time. Math can be checked nearly instantaneously, so the "might" becomes inconsequential my small.
My relative is pretty much the number one reader in his year (reading at near adult level when he was 10, reading 2 million words in a year when he was older...), and it was completely because of his obsession with Minecraft. It got him devouring strategy guides, then reading Minecraft related novels, and from there pretty much anything he could get his hands on.
Before that he was pretty apathetic about reading.
