Yup, totally right. Don't have much experience with Temple Run and its clones, but Flappy Bird fits the bill. The fact that there's only a couple games that come to mind reinforces the novelty of it happening again with Wordle though.
That’s probably the point of posting it here. If this is the one I’m thinking of, it became famous for being, apparently, an oblivious reinvention of some of the integral calculus.
But it appears that gnuplot was never trying to be confused with GNU. I don't even know how well-known GNU would have been at the time the gnuplot was named.

This project on the other hand straight up rips off the Git logo. It makes this project look official. If I wasn't paying attention I could easily have been fooled.

Many people are complaining that they protested illegally. It’s the basis of using emergency powers.

People understand that Microsoft Games Pass and Epic Games Store are only a good deal because they NEED to undercut Valve to compete with Valve. Yet if they were in a position of power, how much do people trust Tencent or Microsoft to not use their vertical integration to monopolize the market and extract higher rents than Valve ever did? Why does Apple deserve any credit for building a store you were FORCED to use with asinine submission policies? How much can publicly held companies be trusted to value long term customer loyalty over short term profits?

Valve is just simply the only company you CAN trust, and that's their massive competitive advantage and something Microsoft and Apple and Google with their trillions of dollars can't buy. When they make a decision that makes people upset, the CEO will directly talk with customers on sites like Reddit. They've been a force against the imposition of heavyweight DRM. They've voluntarily introduced liberal policies like family sharing and offline play that other companies refused to implement. Valve is an honest company in an industry full of conmen operating at a loss.
> Affirmative Action is not "reverse racism". Measuring someone's achievements relatively to the external difficulties they faced along the way is not "reverse racism". I don't believe we still have to spell this out.

Affirmative action is not "measuring someone's achievements relatively to the external difficulties they faced along the way". It is racial discrimination against whites and asians.

Affirmative action does not measure people by external difficulties they faced. It measures people by their races and seek to benefit some races over others - being fueled by racial resentment.

You should have a TDD friendly design before actually use it.
But most of the project starts with "let's make a demo to try this idea".
And after several years, with thousands of patches applied, the demo finally becomes a product. When new devs join in the team, "the projects even don't have any unit tests, why do we need TDD?"
I have to agree with you, my outward facing pages look a bit unprofessional right now. I assume by the marketing page, you mean 'pricing' page?

No, Babbage's earlier design requires the crank to be turned all the time. Basically human-powered instead of fossil-fuel powered. As long as the human only needs to turn the crank without thinking, the human could always be replaced by a steam engine.

The purpose of Turing completeness is to describe whether a system is capable of performing arbitrary computation. That once a machine is Turing-complete, Church-Turing thesis stipulates it can do any computation that another Turing-complete machine can do, subject to resource and time constraints.

In the early days of computing, where designing and building a general-purpose computer was still a major practical challenge, one could imagine whether the crank is turned by a human wasn't important, because any idea that involves a physical crank can be supplemented by a steam engine, a solved problem. It's very easy to swap out the human for a steam engine - the actual novel problem was to verify that the internal logic of the machine is general-purpose enough.

In that context, one can see what the true spirit of the Church-Turing thesis is. It abstracts away the things that don't need to be part of the picture, so that people can focus on understanding the mathematical notion of computation - what is computable and what isn't, and what kind of designs are capable of computing everything that's computable.

To illustrate, you'd say it's imprecise to say a language is Turing complete - you technically still need a CPU and RAM. But those are just assumed to be available when the true focus is to design a language. Similarly, when designing a mechanical computation machine, whether we have built in the monotonic power source / hardware clock is just not a very important distinction given the context of the design. Everything that holds for Turing-complete machine would still hold, just except the machine needs a power source.

It's true that requiring constant clicks makes the result less interesting (and maybe very much so), but for the spirit of Turing completeness the power source is just a trivial matter.

I'm in the US and have had checking accounts in three credit unions and five banks and they all offered this service. They don't send cash if that's what you have in mind, but they do send checks. They'll send a check to anyone given a name and address, and if I provide an account number, for many businesses they'll also receive a billing amount and pay it each month automatically.

Relational databases are historically either OLTP like Postgres, MySQL, SQLite, etc; or OLAP like Vertica, Clickhouse, Greenplum, Redshift, etc.

The latter group is designed to analyze lots of data (calculating aggregations across billions of rows) and have developed features like storing data as columns, using compression, batch/vectorized processing, scaling out across multiple servers, and other techniques to get that performance. Timescale is an extension to Postgres that brings these capabilities to Postgres and is one of a very few relational databases that offer OLTP+OLAP in a single product.

The time-series niche is what they targeted first, and the product offers lots of useful features around time-related data, but it's also a generic analytical database offering at this point.
The most concerning thing about Trudeau's use of the Emergencies Act is that it was both unnecessary and, despite the protests being quelled, ongoing.

First, the police in Ottawa chose not to enforce even basic laws in the area of the protest for several weeks. The result was lawlessness and a total lack of respect for the police. They were being jeered at for putting threatening flyers under windshield wipers one day, and the next they brought in armoured vehicles and riot squads. If the police had consistently written tickets and made arrests from the start of the protest it likely would not have grown as large as it did.

Presently, Trudeau is keeping the Emergencies Act in effect, not because there is an ongoing emergency, but because there might be. He's argued that some of the protesters have not left Ottawa and might return to the protest site if given the chance to do so, but there is nothing in the Emergency act that is required for the police to maintain peace and order. Trudeau wants the act to remain in effect for other reasons apparently.

The opposition is introducing a motion in parliament to end the Act, but that will likely fail unless Trudeau loses the NDP's support. However, the senate could also end the Act at any time. Given that the emergency is over they should do just that. It is entirely unclear what Trudeau hopes to accomplish by holding onto these powers.
Of course the concept of a "conscience" is equally unscientific. Also Wikipedia defines "moral injury" in terms of a conscience.
"... done in 1990's style HTML."

Aside: I would have called it "original" style HTML as there was no www before the 1990s.1 IMO, calling it "early" style HTML would not be apropos because the internet, including the www, is still in its infancy.

1. According to Wikipedia there was SGML as early as 1986 but Berners-Lee did not write the the HTML specification until 1990.

Imagine when trying to exit any retail business you had an employee stop you at the door with an offer.
Protesters blocked multiple international borders between Canada and the US, at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars per day ($300 million/day for the Windsor/Detroit crossing alone). There is no "civil liberty" that protects the right to blockade an international border, just as there is no civil liberty to park a convoy of trucks in someone's neighbourhood and then stay there indefinitely.

I have family who live in the Ottawa neighbourhood that went through this. They had tractor trailers parked outside their house that honked their horns all day and night for days on end. They literally had to leave and live elsewhere for almost three weeks.

I think we can agree that in a democratic society like Canada, we have civil liberties that allow us to protest, but those same liberties allow us to enjoy our homes in peace, not to mention cross international borders, subject to public health and whatever other restrictions have been put in place by our elected governments.
It's frustrating how no other launchers have even a fraction is the useful features Steam has. How come I can't buy games as gifts for my friends on other stores???

It would seem to be impractical for a non-trivial business to work with the cash payments limits.

This is one of the reasons the trucking industry is having problems. Drivers are tired of being asked to break the law. The consequences land on the driver and not the company.

I was very fortunate to work for a corporation with a heavy-duty moral backbone. That was one of the reasons that I stayed, as long as I did.

There were plenty of weasels* there, and it got worse —much worse— towards the end, but the corporation, itself, was one of the oldest Japanese tech companies, with a 100-year history of insane levels of Quality. It was truly a signal Honor to work there.

It was not an environment a lot of folks here would like, but that moral infrastructure was crucial to me. For reasons that aren’t really ones that I’ll go into, I have lived a highly moral life, and I was grateful to have the support.

I’m not competitive, for moral reasons, and I really enjoyed the way that the Japanese valued teamwork.

Sadly, it seems to elicit scorn, from folks in tech. Either folks think I’m being “snobby,” or they think I’m stupid and weak-willed.

I use Netflix and Disney. They are mostly pretty equivalent functionality with different shows. But Disney+ seems to be a faceslappingly appalling waste of large Disney franchises.

Mostly I am screaming for canon watchlists. Whether it is in release order, or universe-timeline order, or "makes most sense watched this way" order. Or all of them as options.

So many friggin' Marvel movies and TV shows and yet I have to google some random page to find the order I should watch them in?!?

Same for Star Wars!

Come on Disney, kids keep growing through teenagerdom into adulthood all the time. Why not make it easy to hook them to watch your stuff?

A lot of ISPs nuke anything that looks like a torrent and send angry messages to their customers.
Businesses should accept cash as a signal to potential customers that they are not some snobbish high-tech cashless only establishments.

Also, there are a million other regulations that businesses have to deal with from license and insurance to the number of fire extinguishers. Asking businesses to accept cash is not a life-or-death decision from a business cost point of view. If anything, it means more potential customers and better PR.
I want to revise my comments. There are indeed some capacitors on many M.2 boards -- not sure how much. It takes several mF or more to drive a few amps at 3.3V for some tens of milliseconds, which is not insignificant, so larger form factors are certainly at an advantage.

Ask HN: Founder Visas for Australia
I just met my local federal member for a chat today. He was very interested in hearing about the experiences of founders and remote workers, and what needs to be done to help the local startup ecosystem. As the chair of the standing committee on migration, I think he would be looking for some quick wins before the election for his party (he's in a safe seat).

So in the light of
http://www.paulgraham.com/foundervisa.html
what should we as a startup community be asking for?

What new visas should be created? What should the criteria be for them?

(If you aren't in Australia, what would help you want to come to Australia to build your startup here?)
What businesses don’t accept cash? Everywhere I go does. In fact it is illegal for them not to do so.

Since I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere in the comments so far, it's worth noting that the author has clear political allegiances.

From the author's bio near the bottom of the article:

> Howard Anglin is a post-graduate researcher at Oxford University. He was previously Deputy Chief of Staff to Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Principal Secretary to the Premier of Alberta, Jason Kenney, and a lawyer in New York, London, and Washington, DC.

I don't think this invalidates the argument in any way. I do think that it should raise a red flag however. Comparing the October crisis to the freezing of trucker funds partially raised by Nazis still seems a bit far-fetched to me after reading the article.
