Of course, using a bundler means you'll face several other unpleasant realities. Like

- what about tests, how do they run
- source maps support in node being 3rd party and unbearably slow for any medium sized project
- edit: this has been fixed somewhat recently https://nodejs.medium.com/source-maps-in-node-js-482872b56116
- only the 3rd party bit, not the slowness bit https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/41541
- also applicable when not bundling, albiet fewer reprcutions to turning off source maps
- poor native (C++) modules support in bundlers
- modules with really dynamic `require` statements being supported at varying levels by varying bundlers
As a Western European who has lived in the US for a short while around 2000, I feel the battle is already lost.

Rising obesity in kids is observed but no link is made.

All the while I have seen my country 'Americanizing' in the last 20 years : more McDs etc, now the food delivery guys and McDs now delivers to your home too ( unfanthomable! )

It is not the US style what sells it : it is convenience. Convenience sells.
The major difference between your vices and overeating is that you don't need to have some cocaine every day to live. Total abstinence is not an available option for food.

In terms of features, for me it feels like a lot of core features in Godot are assets that you have to add to Unity.

My best example are Tweens. I would expect this to be a very core feature of a game engine and yet in Unity you have to rely on something like dotween.

Also the Animation system in Godot is super awesome. If you are coming from Blender it's basically no learning curve at all. Again a feature that I would exepect to be a core of a game engine.
housing regulation is a dog whistle for tenants actually having rights.
> Would it be possible to implement a programming language that supports as many features and paradigms as possible?

Maybe it would be possible but it would be impractical and wasteful because

1. It would make it harder to learn all those features and easier to make errors in such a language when it is hard to learn.

2. You don't need all possible features because you can implement the same program using different features, features provide overlapping ways of doing the same thing.

It would be like trying to define a natural language that supports the syntax of all natural languages.

The challenge is not to create a language with more or all features. It is to provide a small subset of all possible features that makes it easy to write most programs in a very understandable manner. The problem with programming is trying to understand the programs created. You need to be able to understand the programs easily, economically, because else their maintenance becomes costly.
No what I'm saying is that AWS is transitioning out of early stage growth, and so they're seeing all the issues you see where the original people who hacked stuff together are moving on and you have to start really focusing on making things stable, but the beginning of that process is always everything getting unreliable.
Plants uptake nickel and chromium from soil in small amounts.
A rise in economic rents isn't the same thing as monetary inflation. You can't actually erase blockages in the real economy by changing monetary policy. Neither inflation nor deflation will fund public higher education to keep tuition low, break up health insurance oligopolies, or legalize building more housing. Those are political-economic problems, not monetary ones.
Very curious to hear your take on OpenSSL's Heartbleed bug and would you avoid it if you were the maintainer.
If you're using an external monitor, it's better to do it on the monitor itself rather than in software. When you do it on the monitor it applies everywhere, even when rebooting or using another OS. When I did it in software (redshift) I noticed it was causing my laptop to overheat.

Here's how I do it on Linux with a Dell U2720Q monitor.

This is a very good article. I place lab-grown in the same mind bucket as carbon capturing. Both are futuristic technologies that don't exist today (not really) but get a lot of media hype. For both, there's a much easier solution that exists today (e.g, switching to renewable energies, switching to plant-based meats) that are great and are also gaining a lot of traction. With both tech, it's unclear if they will ever work at scale. For both cases, it's now more important than ever that we reduce emissions today, and not hope for a maybe technofix in the future.

I don't mean to dunk on your research and proprietary tech. I'm just often pissed to see that these kind of tech is completely overblown and overhyped in the mainstream and media. The worst part is, it gives people an excuse to not change their behavior today: "I'll switch to lab-grown meat when they sell", "I won't cut back on flying, doesn't matter since they will recapture that carbon anyways very soon".

Yeah, I think I agree with all of this.
Why is there "redux" in the title ?

Vladimir Putin is pushing Russia into past: Maybe a generation, maybe a century
> When some people wants one, and there aren't enough, suddenly everyone wants one. Herd mentality.

Rational behavior: better get one before the prices go up more.
That’s a real blast from the past. Good debugging skills to track down the real source of the problem, given the lack of error reporting.
I wonder how Flux works in regions which reach 24 hours of sunlight or 24 hours of nighttime in certain seasons. Can you make reasonable (or meaningful) assumptions about sleeping hours in those conditions? The program seems to kick in around sunset. What if there is no sunset?
Life imitates art - when Russia started attacking Ukraine, RT reported a 5pm emergency meeting of their military leaders. Included was a photo showing two of their watches at 11:45. (The report was at about 7pm the same day, so it couldn’t have just been a long meeting)
No. There are multiple groups and subgroups.

"Many people don't make enough to adequately save for retirement. Most of the people who do have the income would rather have a bigger or fancier house and a brand new Tesla/BMW/etc, possibly because they think they will always be making that level of money or are out of touch with reality."

Many people don't make enough to adequately save for retirement. You could probably say that this could in fact be most people when you look at things like Fidelity or Vanguard stats on the state of retirement accounts and savings in the US.

Then there are still many people, but not a majority, who do make enough money to adequately save. Of these, a majority of them seem to live beyond their means with respect to purchasing houses significantly above the rule of thumb (2.6x yearly income) or historical average (5x yearly income), or buying fancy cars/vacations/etc.

The other part of the group that does make enough money are making so much that they can actually save the max (like the example I gave), but are out of touch with the reality that most people don't have enough income to save that much. The example I gave fits in this group. I suppose the most pertinent part of the example was left out - the looks we employees gave each other about how he's crazy to expect us to be able to save $20k per year. So it's not just an example of that rich individual, but also of the group's affirmation that the savings level is unattainable.

Get morning sunlight within 1 hr of sunrise. Direct - not through glasses/windows.

Early morning sunlight configures our endocrine system, which has a major impact on digestive processes, feelings of motivation, and basically every system in our body.

It’s a domino effect. Just one minute of sunlight is sufficient to kick off numerous positive dynamics.
What are you asking about? Intentionally complex but relatively single-paradigm programming languages (e.g. PL/I, Ada, C++, the scripting language in Mathematica)? Flexible languages that can bend to support multiple paradigms (e.g. LISP, Forth)? Virtual machines that can run anything you compile for them but give up defining a single programming language?
There are three problems with that.

Firstly, if prices crash people stop selling unless they absolutely have to. The supply of houses greatly diminishes which limits your choice. You might be able to afford a cheaper house, but it might not be where you want it.

Secondly, unless you're buying in cash you might find it hard to get a mortgage. Lenders tend to be reluctant to lend when the market is crashing.

Thirdly, (and this is me speculating), if the market crashes the investment companies who are buying houses will buy a lot more houses, very fast, in cash. You'll be competing with the ideal buyer.

I don't believe a housing market crash would be good for consumer buyers at all.
I feel like 4 is needlessly pedantic because there's no way people in real life are able to realistically gauge their personal caloric discharge except by modulating intake and watching for symptoms of deficit. I know too many people who have been burned by exercise burning too few/too many calories.
It would be if you made it in space, but in the presence of oxygen, or when the factory dips it in acid which is what they do, the surface is depleted of iron and enriched of chromium to a depth of a few molecules. Below that is a thicker nickel-rich region.

Nobody really knows how this migrating is happening at a low level, by the way. Mystery of material science.
This reads like praising by faint criticism.

The number one problem Rust has now is that it’s overall not significantly better than C++ and sometimes the reverse is true. I’ve learned for example quite a good chunk of Rust, implemented a project (actually a rewrite from C++) and now I’ve mostly reverted to C++ and Go. The only reason that I’d use Rust is if I had to ensure that a program is memory safe (e.g. it’s planned to be handed over to developers unexperienced with C++, it will be heavily changed in the near future, etc).

It’s no coincidence that I’ve only learned a chunk of Rust - I skipped async, concurrency and parts of the standard library which I didn’t need. The language and the ecosystem are big and complex, very comparable to the complexity of C++. It’s in a different difficulty league compared to C or Go and I wouldn’t say that it’s hard per se to learn, as the concepts themselves are similar to C++, but there’s a lot to study, remember and categorize and map in relation to how things are done in e.g. C++. One exception is Rust’s equivalent to C++ template-heavy code which is simply not worth wasting one’s life on. Whoever writes that is either a library developer or an asshat.

Compile times are too long and what makes it worse is that everything seems to be distributed as source and has to be compiled. Because cargo is so convenient to use, dependencies are completely out of control: adding a single crate can end up pulling in dozens of dependencies. In my case I ended up with ~150 for ~5 crates!

All in all the benefits barely outweigh the costs for me, especially since I know C++ well. Rust to me is a language for large-scale or low-level projects that need solid performance and provable memory safety, but it’s overkill for many things where one can use Go or a simplified dialect of C++.

For sure. We live in an age where foods are engineered to maximize repeat purchase. In our evolutionary history, the main way to get concentrated sugar was to try to take it away from bees. If candy bars were similarly guarded at the convenience store, you can bet that people's consumption of it would be much closer to the recommended level.
Exactly. How come it's not given more importance? Is the effect not big enough? Seems to me it's the one that would dominate everything else. You're not-exercising during a bigger part of the day than exercising, after all.
That estimate seems wildly low given that the S&P 500 has returned about 10% a year since its inception 65 years ago.

Also from your link, Vanguard estimates about 2% annualized inflation over the next 10 years.
Krock.io – Content review and project management platform for video production
What is Krock.io? It’s an amazing tool for video production companies that helps to manage creative teams through visual communication with clients at every stage of the production process. This platform allows you to manage tasks, assign people to projects, control work performance at each stage and in each version. Since it has a user-friendly interface, there is no need for the onboarding process. Krock.io helps discuss pressing matters and get all the information to move forward to the next stages.
Debunked or not I personally haven't seen it make a difference in sleep. But it DOES make these screens much more pleasant to the eye in dusk/evening hours. I'm a fan.
This is another level. Developers like EA know the potential of earnings and use psychologists to incentivize people to spend money. The barrier is much lower too.

Sure, a smaller form with trading cards always existed, but it wasn't a billion dollar industry with support from specialists to maximize exploitation.

You cannot really generalize the problem to loot boxes though. There are exceptions where it just provides a form of monetization that isn't necessarily predatory and it will not affect everyone negatively.
Very doubtful. That 75m USD cast has more acting talent than your GPUs and gets people in theaters.
My wife writes choral music with Sibelius.

One of the problems she has is versioning, and it's pretty obvious that something like LilyPond + source control would be a massive benefit to her for managing the creative process, as pieces are rehearsed and modified/corrected it turns into a versioning problem with various performers unsure which copy of the piece they are working from.

I should really look into this, especially what printing support looks like (she typically prints double sided on A3 so that it folds correctly into a music folder), and what support for playback looks like.

It's a pretty cool project, I really have been meaning to investigate it, so maybe it's time to pull down a copy and kick the tyres.
>Some people estimate that a smartphone’s total computing power would have been worth several million dollars in the 1990s[2]. Yet someone with a $500 smartphone today doesn’t consider themselves a millionaire relative to someone from the 90s; we simply cannot quantify the monetary effect of having millions of dollars of 1990s computing power in our pockets[*].

The thing is that if you have millions of dollars of computing power in the 1990s, you have something extremely scarce, so you can trade it for an abundant supply of other things you need. If you have computing power today, it's abundant, while the other things you need are much more scarce. Dollar values here are just illusions hiding the disparity in productivity improvements between industries, as well as the disparities in market concentration, regulatory capture, etc.
Just curious, do anyone not use this or similar functionality nowadays (in tech)?

I use them on my phone (which is the default and I didn't bother to change), but never get used to them on computer screens. I'm pretty sure if I give it more time I can quickly get used to, but just didn't see the appeal enough. I do have a yellow light in my room.

But then again I don't use dark mode either, so maybe I'm just a weirdo.
You do not have to be looking at a screen for its color for it to affect you, methinks. That said, there is huge business from it. Same with the common saying from optometrists to parents that you have to replace your glasses (lenses at the very least) every 1-2 years. It is bullshit. It actually makes your eyes worse because it makes it work harder. If you are at -4, and you would need -5 to see sharp, do NOT get that -5, you can train your eyes to see sharper, but regardless, by getting that -5, your vision will only continue worsening. You need glasses to see your screen? Try looking at it for an hour without it. You will actually see it a tiny bit better without glasses, and that is just after an hour! Your eyes might relax a bit too much as well so you might get diplopia when you look close (at your phone screen) after looking at your monitor without glasses. It is harmless though.

As for the warmer color temperature: I do use it. I prefer it warmer because it burns my eyes much less. Similarly I prefer the brightness of my phone's screen around 40%. I have lenses that "block" blue light (i.e. makes white look more yellow).

If you are a developer doing UI/UX and that sort of thing where color matters, then you probably want to disable f.lux, redshift, or whatever it is that you are using.

We could also get philosophical here and discuss qualia. Is my red your red? :)

So much to discuss!

> We tested this hypothesis by asking human participants to wear a mobile eye-tracking device and locate highly realistic mirror-green and diffuse-green replica beetles against a variety of backgrounds in a natural forest environment.

I guess this relies on reference counting via smart pointers
I think it is even more complicated. When I was having after work activities that required me to walk to places, load/unload shelves, water the garden etc, I started loosing weight more then when exercising. And all those activities were not intensive at all. I was moving little bit a lot of time, basically.

Same goes when I go for hikes in summer. I am loosing weight, but I am walking at comfortable pace max.

I did not felt hungry at no point either. I dont know what it is, but intensity is not the only factor.

This sub-thread seems to be about dunking on the sleep claims. Nobody seems to be doubting the effects on ocular health.
C is not fine, otherwise we wouldn't be getting all hardware vendors adopting hardware memory tagging as the ultimate mitigation solution.

However that doesn't mean Rust is the only answer, there are plenty of memory safe languages to chose from.

Ask HN: What Happened to Pinboard?
I know there have been threads like this in the past about sporadic difficulties, but from my own experience and complaints here and on twitter, I'm wondering if pinboard.in's paid archiving service is broken, and if there is any chance of a fix; and if not, what people have moved on to as an alternative.

For the last 4 months, my paid archiving account has almost completely stopped archiving bookmarks. I tried setting up another account as a trial, and that had the same problem. Worse, my wife made an account last summer, and the full text search of her bookmarks has never worked at all (it throws up an error message).

I've sent several emails to Maciej over the last few months without any replies (apart from one email cancelling the extra account I'd set up, so I know my emails are received).

This is a really frustrating experience! I've been really happy with Pinboard for many years, and paid up front for several years of archiving. There is also now a wonderful MacOS/iOS client ("Pins for Pinboard").

I feel bad posting a thread here, but it seems to be impossible to contact support, and I hope that there are still other Pinboard users (and perhaps even Maciej) here who might have more of an idea what's going on (e.g. whether this is affecting all accounts).

I would really love to be able to carry on using Pinboard, but I have no idea whether to expect it to ever start working again.
ugh magically appeared is true kinda with opec pulling levers as they feel like it.

I dream of a no car life. Hate driving but it’s really tough in the US. Was in heaven for a week when I visited Switzerland
The graphic is wonderful -- wide ranging and mind expanding. Think of it as a jumping off point in connecting sociotechnical systems around "AI".

Also, for context around the project as a whole, you need to read the accompanying narrative (scroll down).
Is there any performance significance from this change?
Yeah I was hoping someone would fill the in the details lol.
One one hand - I would say that everything that can be abused will be abused. On the other hand I would say, people (after a time of adaption) will learn to not trust any moving image anymore.

Or any still image for that. But on the other hand - we are already theoretically and practically able to generate very convincing fake images, if we would want to. We could generate fake stills from a surveillance video (or a smartphone video) of a fake politician doing cocaine. Or interacting in a compromising way with a prostitute. Why do we not see much more of things like that?

Probably because it just might be more difficult to create a believable story around such a fake that does not break down when looking at the story more than 10 seconds.

So maybe the problem will not be as big? I don't know. I have no idea how easy it will become to create truly believable fakes.

Not sure how people will adapt and if trust in anything might break down in the process. But what I do not believe is that tech industry creating rules for itself will be a deterrent against abuse of any technology.
