There have been Linux distributions that ran on machines without MMU.
For instance μClinux, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CE%9CClinux
The takeaway I get from this is it's really hard to be a financially-stable independent studio.
We don't know much about the new IP yet, other than:

1. 2025 is the target for launch

2. some job postings have indicated that it's probably cooperative multiplayer in some form
Microsoft didn't buy Halo. They bought Bungie, then used them to make Halo. They spin them off, keeping then Halo franchise.

Okay, technically Bungie was working on a RTS game called Halo when MS bought them, but it was after the purchase it shifted genres and found its groove.

In other words, this "echo" isn't really what you are saying.
Dear lord, that sounds horrible. I understand the reasoning, but corresponding with people — especially in formal settings — makes me anxious, and I end up composing and re-composing (and sometimes re-re-composing) a lot of my messages. The end result isn't bad, but if I were being watched and graded in real time I'm pretty sure I'd fail.
Whoa... the part about being able to trace if work is being done on another computer is alarming. How can they do that?
>>Rare was acquired in 2002 and their list of games since doesn't look like shovelware to me

I don't know.... Honestly Rare was just as good if not better than Nintendo themselves. And that's a nearly impossible feat.

The n64 did as well as it did because of Rare. GoldenEye, Perfect Dark, Banjo, Diddy Kong, Donkey Kong, Jet Force Gemini etc.. post-acquisition, Rare didn't made the same sort of games. So maybe they found new fans, but the old fans hated it. Myself included.
Apps like robinhood encourage and even gamify frequent trading at the expense of naive investors and because that's where brokers make money. Coinbase and their ilk do the same in the crypto market. Frequently trading stocks, and doing anything in crypto is just as much gambling as betting on a sports game, appeals to the same demographic, and is just as destructive.

Yes, stock picking and penny stock scams have been around forever, but it has never been so easy.
>I wish there were a tool that could just record everything [...] if you "know" everything, then notes serve no purpose.

I guess the completeness of your proposed "auto-memorize-everything" solution depends on what style of notes a person writes.

A lot of my notes are annotations or personal commentary that don't exist in the sources of the url text or video.

Here's an example of that type of notes I often take... E.g. I found some links that explain how one can grok "Docker" by going through the learning exercise of re-inventing it from basic os features with homemade scripts. But I wrote my own personal notes (in "##")about the limitations of the explanations in the urls:

## these tutorials explain the verb (runtime) but not noun (artifacts of image file)
https://github.com/p8952/bocker/blob/master/bocker
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fi7uSYlOdc

Because content cannot meta-analyze itself and enumerate all the ideas and concepts that are not embedded in its own text, it means a hypothetical indexing engine that converted the 2 links above to searchable data still would not retrieve the extra meta information I wrote. A lot of good notes are generated from your own brain.

EDIT add to categorize different types of "notes" to aid discussion:

(1) notes as memorization aid such as copying facts: a user writes a note that says "1 inch equals 25.4 millimeters" after seeing it on a webpage or something. So the "universal-record-and-index-everything" would help make these type of notes obsolete because one could just skip writing that note down and just recall it later by searching for "inch to mm conversion" in the digital archive

(2) notes as synthesizing/interpreting/connecting/commenting the content. These type of idiosyncratic notes generated by the user's brain often don't exist on the internet so they cannot be replaced by a universal recording tool.
To me the best explanation for this is as mutually-assured-destruction insurance if Microsoft takes the biggest title in the Activision portfolio, Call of Duty, away from Playstation.

As a Sony fan, I'm cautiously optimistic that the relationship could be more fruitful than that. I don't know what Sony's creative secrets are, but they seem good at ushering high quality, interesting games with broad appeal into existence, sort of akin to what you see at HBO or Pixar. I would love to see them exert that influence on a big multiplatform game.
Why does it bug you?
Car and Driver did a test using an older Model 3 with a resistive heater (the newer models use a much more efficient heat pump), and found that it used around 2.2% an hour to keep the cabin warm.

https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a38807463/tesla-model-3-cl...

In your example with 15% left, you'll use ~9% battery while in traffic for 4 hours keeping the heat and car on, leaving 6% to get to the next charger. At ~300wh/mile you'll arrive with ~4-5% left. There's also buffer under 0%, but it's not guaranteed.

4-5% is not a comfortable number to be at, but I think it's acceptable in a worst case scenario like this. That being said I would definitely turn down the heat, and drive slower for the next few miles (and check for alternate chargers) to minimize power usage.
By choosing to not look at them, I'm referring to how ad blockers choose to not retrieve the ads, not a human.
Had this happen once. For an on-site job...with an on-site interview. And, yeah, from day 1 it was "this...is not the guy we interviewed".

Plus of course the time we were hiring remote, and someone screenshared for something, and didn't end it, and then later questions we had that was broad ("can you tell me a little about (technology)") we got to watch him search for and answer from what he read, which was a unique experience.
Indeed. Just last week there was a whole thread here on HN about the problems with toxicity detectors: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30066720 I'm not sure if this is the system youtube is using, but it would certainly align with my experience where people have left innocuous comments on my videos that disappear a couple hours later - comments such as "this music is beautiful, damn" where the only thing I can think of, short of that user's entire account getting deactivated, is that the word "damn" tripped some sort of toxicity flag.

I hate bullies as much as the next person on HN, but I'm deeply unsettled by youtube's recent efforts in the direction of manufacturing consent.
Wow, I want whatever YouTube's giving you. The comments I see are the same joke over and over again and/or those horrible people that drag politics into every conversation.
In deleted cases, yes, but not in advance. We love archives (and archive.org most of all), but archive links shouldn't be used as submission URLs when an original is available. For one thing, it's important for the original domain to be displayed.

Of course it's always fine to link to an archived copy from the comments, and we intend eventually to build software support for this.
The medical professionals are bounded by law and medical certifications. That said, the real quality control happens by virtue of the incentive system of free market of millions of patients over many years. Their reputations depend on doing "the right thing" - fix the medical issue, give prevention strategies and keep medical costs as low as possible for the customer.

When a medical professional does "the maybe not completely ethical thing", word spreads and they lose future patients to competition. Business declines. The professional loses standing in the community and current employer would terminate their employment. Future employers need good references. They are socially shunned and have legal proceedings on them.

The doctors there are like chefs in a restaurant. The quality of their work determines their standing and future business. Medical facilities are like restaurants. The quality of their service matters.

One thing to note though is that you want to visit medical professionals in cities and not some rural village doctor. Rural doctors are more likely to have "quality control" issues more as their reputations are not discoverable easily without learning local languages.
Do you count the hours to design and produce the computer hardware used to render the CGI for a film? Do you count the years and cost of raising a child from birth to being a member of the crew?

I doubt they count hours towards tools etc developed as they probably paid money for those. So, different bucket I guess, and still important for the overall cost.
I actually wish NSO Group would sell their spying software to absolutely anyone willing to pay them money for it.

I’m not okay with anyone at all having it, so maybe if everyone could have it, the industry would have to get their shit together and actually patch the exploits.
Is there a summary of what exactly was the misinformation in the Robert Malone episode? I tried to watch it all but its like 3 hrs long. I want to weigh the misinformation with the truth contained in the episode and compare with the response from the last few weeks. Are other sources of information being held to the same standards here?
Bungir became a household name while MS owned them and they launched an iconic franchise. How was that bad?
I say "locked in" mainly because the tesla network is the only reliable network in the USA. There are many horror stories about other vendors' fast chargers.
No, it's a tax on the hopeless.
Haha I kinda do what you do (text editor + files). It works fine for me, and I keep it synced with Syncthing. I just repurposed my old installation of Sublime Text 3 and keep stuff separated by [topic].md.

That might soon be mandatory as an anti-banknote-photocopy measure.
I'm just a moderately productive programmer so I guess this isn't for me.
Not sure where you've gotten that idea from? I don't think anyone is arguing that. They say they're burning it if it's sent to them, at which point it's their property.
Couple of year ago, my team was hiring an employee in India through Teams interviews. Local HR warned us to mandatory ask to the candidates to switch on the camera, because person exchange after the interviews is quite common.
And in the meantime if the consultancy kept the contract and delivered, it was on a successful project. The C- team had little or nothing to do with it being successful, barring maybe filling headcount until the A team finished another billable project. Bonus points if it's a publicly notable new initiative for the consulting client.
Popular browsers limit the size of the URL (not specifically the query string, the whole URL). If frameworks limit qs size, it’s most likely due to upstream browser limitations.
You just described the plot of Gattaca.
If the queries are that long (over 2k-ish bytes), wouldn’t you wanna write a query file with POST and then execute it by name with a GET?
I find it's often helpful to send messages to relevant people who did not attend summarizing the findings of a 1-on-1.

At that point you start a paper trail and can track down where inconsistencies or straight up dishonesty are originating.
I'm just gonna put this out there: none of this sounds like a problem if you don't lie to your reports.
> I believe "taking notes" is the wrong way to think about it

Recording only the inputs doesn't help me much, my notes are mostly always about the part of my brain it ticked off.

A lot of it is "I wonder if this will help me with X" connection points left off for me to follow up later rather than to go back to refer to the conversation in exact terms.

Good notes for me are a way of letting off my internal narrative pick up from there later and carry on paying attention to the conversation I'm actually having right now.
I remember looking for stuff on page 20 of Altavista results.

Although lately Google does seem to be losing the battle with the scammers/spammers, at least for certain classes of queries. The number of garbage results I have to wade through if the answer isn’t in Wikipedia seems to be growing.
That's kind of what I mean: The discussion always starts and too often ends there. A couple of thoughts:

- Already in the pre-touchscreen, button-dominated area, plenty of more complicated use cases had terrible UX, and in many cases touchscreens have made them much easier. For example, do you remember how difficult it often was to program radio presets in 80s head-units? There were a lot of real clunkers there.

- There's plenty of newer use cases that would be hard or impossible to make easy with traditional hardware button UX, such as route and EV charge planning.

- Good software offers many possibilities to avoid interactions altogether, or make them single-step instead of multi-step. A good screen-based system will now often suggest interactions pro-actively and situationally at the top-level of the system and reduce interaction to a single multi-modal (touch/gesture/speech) confirmation on what used to be multi-step processes.

- Screens can offer tactile experiences - most recently with the introduction of screens that can do permanent haptic feedback via electrostatic friction coefficient modulation, emulating different surface feels as the finger moves.

- You already mentioned features such as 360 degree cameras: If nothing else, screens are great for showing information. Interactions aside, this alone has a lot of legs left and there's absolutely quality differences between good and bad implementations.

- There's absolutely nothing wrong with a good physical button (on the contrary - few things are more satisfying than a good, solid, weighty button) and having both for use in the appropriate situation. It doesn't mean there's no possible benefits from further investment into good car software.

I feel a lot of this is rooted in first-hand experience with bad systems - which I agree are plentiful, and just as awful as a bad, clunky, unrefined phone onscreen keyboard. Dare to imagine a good one.

Working on car systems means getting to own the form factor and the entire surroundings of a user, much more than working on software targeting rarely-changing phone and PC devices. It's an open field for software and hardware innovation and deserves a little more professional excitement and ambition to do it well.
Maybe they overweighs downvotes, thus pushing only uncontroversial comments up.
>Every time one is implemented to "support education", it is always followed by a tax break for the upper class, resulting in a net 0 increase in school budgets.

My gut tells me tax breaks are the exception and more often than not increased revenues are simply paired with boondoggle spending because money is fungible.
> Graphics driver support on Linux is still horrendous

Your information is outdated by close to a decade, so check your sources.

And how is usage of lock-in by Sony and Apple excusing MS? If anything all that just highlights who the bad players in the industry are. And MS is one of them.
Given how rare a 66% crash is, it seems suboptimal to sit on cash until one occurs.

I think there are only two instances in the past century where prices crashed 66% from all time highs.

At a 7% annual return, you’ll triple your principal in 16 years, at which point you will still come out ahead even after a 66% crash.
This is why (in the US) I buy what I can from Harbor Freight. Unless it's something that can have critical safety issues if things go bad.
MS bought Bungie, and then Bungie had the money to make the first Halo
Just curious, if you owned YouTube with an overhead of tens of millions of dollars per year, how would you monetize it without ads/commercials, just to even keep up with operational costs?
With audio resolution, you can record frequencies at half of the refresh rate, so 192k audio codecs can record up to 96khz audio frequencies.

With all but the highest quality ultrasonic tweeters, anything above about 30-40khz simply won't be played back, not to mention how anything above 22khz is inaudible to all but the rarest of humans, and anything above 16khz is inaudible to anyone in their mid-30s.

That being said, 48khz audio files are good enough to deliver 24khz of audible frequency spectrum for the same reason, are ~1/5th the size, and humans are physically incapable of telling the difference between them and a 192khz audio file, and the people who say otherwise are either lying to themselves or they are picking up some artifact that is a consequence of playing 92khz audio through a speaker system that is incapable of reproducing it accurately.
If the "ghostwriter" was good, would you have cared?
It was going to be an RTS. Pretty different if you ask me.

This is such a colossally bad purchase, it's laughable in the wake of Microsoft buying Activision.
> If you needed the stand in to get the offer, you're not likely going to be qualified and won't last.

You don't need to last at all, you forget that in many parts of the world earning even a single US remote paycheck would be absolutely life changing.
You say "in danger of being spammed by helicopter penises" like it's a bad thing.

Vladislav Surkov doesn't work for Putin anymore, so the likelihood he'll be griefing Kasparov with flying penises is pretty low.

But you make a very valid point, some online experiences are probably better when restraint can be enforced.
Standards are nice and all, but I've implemented a generic Web-client library and had to support payloads with all HTTP Verbs, because, well, some servers require it.

Clients of a service seldom get to meaningfully complain - use the service, don't use the service, whatever... So whatever the server wants, the server gets...

Although ironically I've also implemented servers and Gorton all kinds of complaining from clients - it's too hard to set a cookie, or header, can't we put tokens inside the JSON etc...
That's almost always the case. Most corporates are risk-averse and thus bureaucratic.
It's different because that's the niche he's focusing on. He's not the only one... Oprah? (to a less sensationalistic extent), Gwyneth Paltrow? Malcom Gladwell also had huge success with books that cherry-pick scientific publications to "prove" things that go against conventional notions in various fields.

We know that traditional media has analogous biases towards celebrity scandals, and towards FUD and polarization in politics, and that bottom feeder broadcasters with no ethics thrive on those.

... He does it with lifestyle / well-being specifically, inviting people that peddle diets, supplements, etc.
This is going to be useful for many things in my teaching. I've just got my students to install Rich / textual for my python coding course as I've featured it as one of my Modules of the week. https://nccastaff.bournemouth.ac.uk/jmacey/msc/PipeLineAndTD... So this will come in handy. Great work.
I love the 'best of' sites that only have Amazon links. If its not on Amazon it must not exist and could not possibly be the best, right? But some brand from China you've never heard of will be on the list.
I really wish they'd just bring uscript back.
Tmux and Emacs scripts can (either on it's own) get you pretty far in that direction.
I recently accidentally moved my seat waaaay up without realizing it when I was cleaning my car. I spent a week worrying about my weight because suddenly the seat belt seemed to have a lot less slack, and my stomach seemed closer to the wheel. Went to weigh myself an no increase.

when I figured out what I had done I laughed at myself for a solid 10 minutes
> X-but-GDPR-compliant

That market does not exist, it will never make money (maybe from leeching the public sector but everyone makes some scraps there). In fact the idea that laws will create a market was a bad idea.
I upvoted you because parts of that are absolutely always true. Some of it depends on the type of consulting contract, though. Some of them call for a dedicated team of X headcount for Y time, and if the consultancy subs people in and out of that team without sufficient cause that's a big red flag.
Not to mention how angry Musk is at Biden for snubbing Tesla...

I realize it's not hip, but I use OneNote. I used to keep notes + a work diary in markdown in a git repo, but it was difficult to integrate screenshots, and converting a note to a task was always a manual process of copying text into a separate system. OneNote's native integration with Outlook tasks was the killer feature for me.
But why isn't Microsoft doing it? Leaving all the hard work to others?

> One could argue that to go full notation-less you should only write in proper sentences, and that would make it even more complex.

Reading Newton’s principia is humbling. He does that the whole book; it takes him pages to explain concepts we now learn before university and that can be condensed in a couple of equations. Finding words to describe the maths he uses is difficult, you can almost feel the insane amount of work just to translate the concepts into sentences. It’s a wonderful example, and of course a masterpiece. But reading it is also very difficult because of all the noise around the concepts. Words are fine to give an intuitive understanding, but at some point you need equations.

Same for Maxwell’s equations, for example. You’d spend less time learning basic calculus and algebra than trying to understand what the hell he was meaning.

Or 19th-century chemists, who used fancy and complicated names for compounds that are described much more clearly and succinctly with a chemical formula. Yes, you need to learn the formalism, but it pays off.

Some counter examples are Einstein and Feynman, who could communicate complex concepts with words in an understandable way. Though even them need some abstract notation at some point (lots of it, actually).
Thanks for the URL, and the additional context. Appreciate it. :)
Your criticism is fair. However "obedient" isn't always what an engineering organization needs. Many times, I wish that our Indian contract workers, would speak out when they see something wrong, about process, quality, or business requests. I'm not sure if it's a cultural thing or what, but it seems they are more hesitant to speak out. It has been my anecdotal observation that our US-born hires are way quicker to say something to management if they feel something is wrong.

I mean no disrespect, by this observation.
That has to depend a lot on the content you watch. I did a mini test with three videos I found on my list to test this out:

The only video I found that sorta matches this is Chanel 5's ComplexCon video: https://youtu.be/jy9x09iCATA which has mostly meme replies.

Mentour Pilot made a video about a 747 crash https://youtu.be/Y50saxfTqQA and the top reply is from a pilot with a lot of the other replies being from pilots as well.

And the last video I looked at was one titled "All 8 Species of Bear" https://youtu.be/7DERN0R3AbM which I thought would definitely have trash comments because it seemed to be from one of those "Top #" click bait channels. But the top replies are bear stories, species information, and some zoologists. No idea how accurate the info is, however.

True but compared to the number of people who are just unproductive at their single job, there’s no point in worrying about people working 2 jobs.
I've used adblockers since they were invented and rarely experience the unfiltered internet.

In recent years, though, I've wondered if it might actually be better to turn that all off. Are we adblockers just getting a more purified stream of clickbait "news" and enraging social media posts, without the ads there to remind us that it's all trash?

I suspect so.
