Notably there's something like an order of magnitude or more difference in performance between terminals that people are perfectly happy to use. (EDIT: To quantify this: on my system, catting the same file to a window taking about half my screen took an average of 1.443s with st, 1.16 seconds with xterm, 0.165s with rxvt xterm, and 0.404s with Kitty - all average over 3 runs)

Very few non-gpu accelerated terminals get anywhere near maximising performance and they're still fast enough that most people don't even notice because most applications, including most editors, once even remotely optimized themselves, don't tend to push even a non-accelerated terminal very hard.

Put another way: a typical test case of the performance of a terminal tends to be spewing log output or similar to it at a rate where the obvious fix is to simply decouple the text buffer from the render loop because nobody can read it all anyway (but really, a lot of the developers of these terminals should start by looking at rxvt and at least get to a decent approximation first before they start doing those kinds of shortcuts)

Fast enough terminal rendering was solved by the mid 1980s, and performance increases have outpaced resolution increases by a substantial factor.
You should probably be using more AOE. Also, you shouldn't be using your mouse to select targets, you should be using it for movement.

Some tips (most of these shouldn't have changed much, but I haven't played in many years):

You don't have to hit enter to start typing a command. /t first few letters of mob is pretty fast.

You can also hit tab to rapidly switch targets.

Bind A and D to strafing instead of turning.

You can bind slots to modified keys, like Control-6 or Alt-3.

If you're a melee class, you probably have many moves that hit multiple targets, while also not being raw AOE. Spend a bit of time getting familiar with your spellbook; there are a lot of gems.

I'm not exactly sure how new you are, but you should also probably be using Bartender, Recount and DBM.
Russia is close to a modern day feudal state if you think about it. The only difference is that Putin splits the country's mineral resources with the oligarchy instead of the land. This is coming from an acclaimed Russian novelist, Vladimir Sorokin. This Spiegel interview with Sorokin dates from before the 2008 Russo-Georgian war:

Many Indians right now are laughing at Trudeau who last year was saying India should allow farmer protests to happen. Which India did and listened to the farmers and backed down from the new laws. Karma's a funny thing now protests happen in Canada and he had to use Draconian laws himself.

Former Warsaw Pact members, and former 'provinces' of the Soviet Union, want to get on with their lives. Russia is making it harder for them than the other way around IMHO.

Western governments made a good faith effort to support Russia (e.g., G8), and it was only after Putin got into power and started heading in his own direction that things started to sour.

I think it is quite mysterious. Perhaps there are kinds of consciousness which don't suffer, perhaps octopodes are conscious and since after they have mated - they seem to become crazed and unconcerned for their safety - they may then be in a state then where they can only experience thrills? perhaps after mating their capacity to suffer dies, yet some other feeling capacities persist or arise. Maybe Im proposing consciousness is what is required for a thing to feel in any way. Whether memory is required for experiencing feelings or for consciousness is another mysterious avenue.

If we design and implement a program which can render convincing expressions of feeling, or we design systems which themselves calculate networks that output convincing expressions of feeling, what kind of system do we have a duty to be considerate to its own professed and apparent experiences? It is very mysterious but I have never felt that any complexity of calculator or computer can truly beg this consideration, can truly benefit from kindness or mercy. Its seems only childish and fanciful that virtual characters can become real characters no matter the detail of calculation. A plot in a fantasy tale. While the whole subject is full of possibility and unknowns, at least we must keep an anchor on the matter that, consciousness is a thing of special importance.

It can even "polyfill" any IPFS paths automatically (which should just be simply as replacing any ipfs:// URIs with ipfs.io gateway paths).

That’s what Brave does built in, and other browsers with the ipfs companion extension

Hey there!

I am very excited to share DB lens (https://dblens.app) with you all!

I used to spend more time understanding data relationships, long-running queries indexing, index usage, sequential scans, Disk usage, etc. and there was no single tool that provides all these pieces of information.

I decided to build an application that provides more insights about a database simpler than ever!

Idea was to identify & develop the most wanted insights that engineers would want when they connect to any DB.

DB performance is something many people would want to understand most, and there are a lot of parameters that control the overall performance of a DB. I decided to list down & filter the information based on how much impact it would make on the database. Also, understanding data relationships is another area where developers spend more time with. And it was a pain when you want to quickly jump onto some databases or schema that you want to debug.

I added a simple ER diagram page which will simplify this effort.

SQL execution and Data explorer are some default features that everyone would expect from a database client, and yes DB lens is packed with those features by default!

Its currenlty a beta version now and I would want to do more iterations based on what people want!

Hope you like it!

"A COMPUTER CAN NEVER BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE

THEREFORE A COMPUTER MUST NEVER MAKE A MANAGEMENT DECISION"

(IBM slide, 1979)
The LCOE for utility scale solar is around $68/MWh while new nuclear is $88/MWh.

The LCOE for grid storage of power (necessary addition to solar) is $160/MWh.

Double solar with grid storage is as much as $300/MWh at the utility scale using globalized averages reported to NEA, BNEF, Lazard, IRENA 2018-2020. Obviously some countries will be a lot more or less on costs depending on their circumstances and location.

Interconnect isn't enough, all of the US is in darkness for several hours a day. (And Texas will never connect). You require storage, and I still question if 2X is enough to produce enough power during a 10 year minimum without firing up extensive hydrocarbon peaker plants.
Everything seems obvious when we are seated on our sofa within the comfort of our homes.
+1 to this comment -- as you state it's not possible to apply western success metrics to Russian politics or Putin. Of that Italian-sized economy, the spoils go to Putin's oligarchs and the average Russian is apathetic about political influence and fed government-owned TV news. Historically, they haven't been able to influence things and their needs matter little. It isn't a western democracy or economy -- it's more like an authoritarian regime where it's the needs of the political leadership that matter. They should have seized Putin's super-yacht before it fled Germany last week.

> For a business, paying $10/dev/month for ngrok is a rounding error

Yes, but every tool on the wild wants you to pay 10 bucks per user per month.
github/gitlab, jira, random CI/CD tool, gitpod, private repo, tailscale/zerotrust, dockerhub, 1password, okta, notion...

Depending on your size, those costs can add up pretty quickly.

ngrok is a very low hanging fruit for keeping expenses at bay, 10 bucks per user is ridiculously expensive for the service they are providing.

There’s already been incidents of 5G interfering with ILS on airliners. Which is what planes use to land in bad weather. When bad weather hits a destination airport, you’ll more likely be rerouted to a different airport due to the risks of using ILS now.
Ask HN: Is Google phasing out Authenticator/TOTP?
I use TOTP for every site that supports two-factor authentication. When setting up 2FA for a new google account, I can choose: SMS/call, security key or google prompt. I don't have a security key, I would prefer not to log into google with my work account on my phone, and I would prefer not to be susceptible to sim swapping. Is TOTP less safe than SMS/call?

Interestingly google's own Authenticator TOTP app still exists, but apparently you can't use it to set up 2FA for a google account anymore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.and...
There was no diplomacy because the position of Russia was completely ignored. Surprisingly China stated openly that it was the fault of the west. That is ridiculous because they are not the people to invade here, but at no point was there effective diplomacy. On the contrary, everyone called Putins hand and now he put it on the table.
> Germany (..) continues to struggle with National Socialism attracting supporters.

Correct. But that's because fascism is the logical conclusion of capitalism. The State maintains a "social-liberal" republic which is nothing like a democracy but instead a hypocrisy reproducing systems of privileges.

We are stuck in a cognitive dissonance where we are told it's all about freedom & equality but all institutions around us do the exact opposite, and in parallel we're conditioned for being docile in the face of authority and extreme injustice. Both these conditions create a perfect ground for fascism to take root.

We have to remember fascism was born from "liberal" (= economic injustice) republics of the early 20th century and was based on myths distilled by public school systems and the media. Hitler did not invent racial hierarchies (they were common across all "democracies" of the time) and Mussolini did not invent state planning.

> United States has such strong free speech (...) there has been no such struggle with Naziism

Because in the US white supremacy is not called nazism, and may be more concerned with black/indigenous/latinx people rather than jews. In both cases, so-called "sexual deviancy" is also of concern to these people. Just because you don't see swastikas everywhere and Hitler is not the most popular figure in the USA doesn't erase the dozens of millions of people enslaved or killed due to their ethnicity, and the existence of white-supremacist discourse and militia across the country.
IT might not even have any real control over the situation and you could just be making their lives more miserable anyway. Or you might be helping them provide evidence that the policy is garbage, but you really need to actually talk to someone in the department to find that out.

Our company president has mandated and refused to budge on a wildly stupid policy regarding email. The users know it's stupid, we know it is stupid, but nobody can convince the guy who's name is on the building that it is stupid, so we have to deal with it. Our solution is to straight up tell new users how they can get around the policy on a technicality.

Do you think you have full insights into what's going on there from the outside? This sounds like a "can't they just use a static site generator" kinda-comments without knowing about the whole scope of the company.
Let us remember that the "farmers" protests in India went on for more than a year without any emergency being declared.
I'm also an Italian living in Germany and I know what you mean. But I wasn't referring to the myth of Germany productivity, which is debatable.
The argument is not anecdotal, rather it is just based on the numbers (eg. GDP per hour worked, among others).
In other words, the moral of the story is that every single country that value their independence should scramble to build a nuclear arsenal asap.

If so, expect Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Turkey, Poland, Hungary, Saudi-Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Egypt and so on to test nukes within the next 10 years.
Strongest practical resource you mean? What else would be a stronger offense than a barrage of nukes crippling a country for hundreds of years to come and effecting the entire global environment with radiation, fallout, complete civil destabilization, etc.
History has shown that trying to let people like Putin take chunks of land as they please doesn't end well. They don't one day decide, "Yep, that's enough! Sorry for the trouble, lads!"

They see how easy it is and do it again and again until one day they're bombing your home because you're in their territory.
Russia will become a Chinese satellite state.
Nuclear is nowhere near that cheap, LCOE even with massive subsides in the US sees 2020 nuclear well past 160$/MWH and rising. Wind and solar are both under 50$/MWH LCOE.

You could get good performance with CPU rendering on machines several orders of magnitude slower than what we had today to screens that certainly did not have as many orders of magnitude fewer pixels.
How do you comment your NATO countries invading half of Middle East and killing 1.5mil people in just 20 years so that your economy could prosper? Did you consider sanctions then?
Blah blah blah.

Most covid mandates were imposed at the provincial level, which controls the health system in Canada (feds only provide cash). Feds’ mandates only applied to things like the train system, airplane travel, the federal workforce and entry into Canada. I don’t recall any mention of these areas.

The initial complains was that international trucking was restricted, but entry into the us is controlled by the us, not Canada (or Mexico, or…). Currently, the us govt has a “do not go to Canada” as the state department travel advisory and a vaccination requirement for entry for non us-ians. I don’t recall protests at any us consulates or the embassy.

If you are going to protest, at least choose the proper target. Like in the us, these “protests” were merely people wanting to discard some aspect of the political system and/or were tired of being inconvenienced and tossing their toys out of the pram. Pro tip… Successful protests build public support, rather than public hostility.
Same too for Georgia (South Ossetia and Abkhazia)

Thinking highly of opponents of the US and spouting off about how smart and savvy they are never seemed to stop Trump from treating them like opponents and using his power against them back when he was president, so I'm not convinced it would if he was still in charge - and it certainly wouldn't be safe for them to rely on that.
There's a lot of survivorship bias. For any given process or practice, it can be hard to tell whether Google is successful because of it or despite it. A profitable or well-funded company in an uncompetitive market can afford to waste staggering amounts of time and money indulging the whims of senior managers, or even just weird internal cultures.
He didn't sing its praises but said its savvy? C'mon. That's clearly intended as a compliment to a dictator that's starting a war.

What's to stop Putin from doing this again after Ukraine? Serious question, if sanctions don't work and he discovers he can annex whatever he wants using traditional military power - then where does it end?

Not totally true. The wealth of Putin is unknown.
(Yes, I submitted at tweet thread earlier today from the same author and then someone pointed me to this, more readable version.)
The number I quoted is from the same Wikipedia article on LCOE that you used, and I used a globalized average as I said in my post.

Your $50MWh also does not include storage LCOE, and not including secondary costs for solar when Nuclear has no secondary costs is considered "a trick" to lie about solar costs.

Include the costs of gigawatts of Elon's lithium ion batteries, and include the cost of having to 2X-4X solar compared to Nuclear to account for variable solar output due to days and seasons, as I said, and your $50MWh becomes around $300MWh
The meaning in Latin is almost irrelevant here. I know it’s confusing, but in American usage, the meaning of the word “nation” has largely shifted to mean the (entire) state or the country - as opposed to the “state” which is part of a “union.” So, the US and by extension Britain, Germany, France, Albania, etc. are all “nations” whether they consist of “states” or not.
It could be related to how fast the body can unpack fuel. If you exert yourself, and deplete temporary stores, hunger could shoot up short-term.

CCP's statements today makes me believe CCP will watch this and see what response West can muster. If sanctions is the best we can have, then God bless Taiwan because it is harder to sanction CCP effectively.

Isn't that the case with almost all politicians both on left and right these days?

The schisms are so wide that even a small gesture of acknowledging opposing beliefs is causing loss of popularity. For example, when Trump said he. Got vaccinated, he was booed by his own followers.

That said Mr T does appear to be naive. Like that ill advised trip to India where the Indian government wasn't even bothered that he was there and it finally became a private visit sort of.
