This is a great comment. I'm pretty sure every non-trivial website would be better specified (as opposed to HTML) in almost any measurable way (LOC, clarity, etc) in say raw opengl.

Yes, creating a UI in an immediate mode tech would be pretty hard - still easier than HTML/CSS.

I'd love to see someone prove me right: Take any non-trivial site like twitter, facebook.com, whatever and reproduce it with opengl/d3d or whatever. I bet it will be less LOC (incl all the libs the source website includes), more clear, easier to extend, faster to draw, et cetera.
So you think the Samsung model is correct? That is, devices shouldn’t receive any updates after the initial purchase?

I will accept the argument that apple’s gatekeeping is ridiculous, a lot of that is the bizarre prudishness of the US, but saying that apple should not be compensated at a rate that is generally below the market - the majority of apps on the AppStore are freemium from which apple makes nothing, the remainder are mostly only paying a 15% commission. This is vs 30% or so on game consoles, 30% on steam, etc.
Exactly. If Twitter bans you, you're free to make your own Twitter or other speech platform. That is, the internet itself, not the private sites on it, is the public square.

If what you have to say is so revolutionary, surely people will be coming to your new site in droves to hear your amazing commentary they can't get on Twitter.

Except nobody actually cares about what these people have to say, or else they'd have already done so. Half the time you can bet it's some middle aged dude pissed off that he got reported for calling someone a slur or spreading 5G-mind-control-level conspiracy theories.

To throw a few wrenches into that:

* As evidenced by the fact that the (RGB-based) Nintendo VS. System has a different palette than later emulation releases, even at the time Nintendo wasn't sure of the "correct" RGB palette (or has since come around and changed their mind about what that should be).

* There wasn't really any sort of standard devkit. Different developers, different games, different artists used different hardware and software tools to draw their graphics. Nintendo was notoriously crappy to third-party developers during the Famicom years, and Western developers in particular had little institutional support from them. Even if you had the correct palette that Nintendo was using between 1988 and 1991, that's not necessarily what Rare was using in 1990, or what Square was using in 1987, or...

* The Famicom was released in 1983, and development on it began in 1982. There was no Amiga, no Atari ST, no X68000, no VGA, no mainstream computers really capable of general purpose graphics editing. Developers often had to come up with bespoke systems for editing graphics at the time, including bespoke hardware - and it's entirely possible these bespoke systems used a similar non-RGB design as the Famicom, or even the same PPU, or were even just editing programs on a Famicom with some kind of serial-out hacked in.

* Philosophically speaking, the artists were aware that they were producing graphics for the Famicom/NES. That is, they weren't looking at whatever RGB output they had as the definitive version, but just as a rough guideline for how the image would appear on TVs. Given that, whatever RGB the devkit might've been spitting out isn't "definitive" in the sense of how the artist intended anyone to see it.

* I don't really trust Nintendo to make any extra effort to provide an "authentic" experience in their re-releases: witness, for instance, the low quality of the N64 emulation in the Switch Online Expansion Pack they just put out. The actual people who did the art may be gone or uninvolved in the re-releases; just because they own the copyright I don't think whatever Nintendo slaps together really represents the intent of the artists themselves, in the same way that I don't think, say, the release of Go Set a Watchman says anything about the intent of Harper Lee.
I dare to guess that TikTok's secret is their objective: they want to know what's on your mind and they want to foresee your thoughts and actions. The end goal, I believe, is a database of comprehensive personality profiles on the american youth, so by the time they become adults, CCP will have profiles on them. Those profiles will be so accurate that TikTok will know you better than you know yourself. TikTok's doesn't care about profits, so greed doesn't constrain them. Our big tech, on the other hand, is blinded by greed and by desire to "school" us into thinking the aporoved thoughts. In other words, FB and the like, don't want to understand us - they want to "fix" us, and sell ads in the meantime.
There are toxic sides to tiktok just like any other social platform
TikTok’s great but did y’all never try StumbleUpon? In its golden years, that was easily as addictive as TikTok.
IUDs arent without side effects and I’ve heard horror stories from women.

Also, morning after pills are also not without side effects.
I had this realization the other day that I felt connected to someone through TikTok. Like I got a real view into their life. It was a woman homeless and traveling with a group of people. And she was scraggly, tattooed, no money, but absolutely in love with life. And its funny, because I have walked by people like her many times, but her TikToks are just about life on the road, the people she has met, and the experience of it all. And it made me so happy that I could just see her life from her perspective.
Brilliant. The best part of this was running into the kitchen while my girlfriend was washing dishes and watching her face as I put my phone in the microwave ;)
It's interesting, though, to see the co-evolution of the Atari design strategy in the 7800, Amiga, and Lynx (the former explicitly being a souped-up 2600 and the latter two sharing design team in part). By the time of the Lynx there's a clear bias in the featureset towards "lots of powerful sprites in a fixed memory layout", so the alien nature of the earlier systems is mostly gone and it's become roughly as straightforward as a Neo Geo, plus a few little surprises like the retention of the old Atari "LFSR distortion" sound effects in the form of programmable timers as something you could opt to plug into the audio(which like the Amiga, is 4 channel digital, but the sound driver used in most games biases towards chiptune sounds).
This comment won’t get you laid
CI is only feasible if you make changes to the codebase often. And even then, it's a race condition between you detecting API breakage due to unpinned deps, and a user encountering them.

There's nothing wrong with pinning deps and vendoring them.
"Copy," in the news and publicity world, basically means "text." It is old printing and newsroom jargon. See definition 4: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/copy

"Writing copy" just means writing text for publication. "Copywriting" means the same, though I don't think most copyeditors would let the word "copywriting" go to print.

I think the terms is are used relatively clearly in the context of the article, so long as you know that "copy" means text to be published.
They're talking about less carbon being emitted by the generators of the electricity to run the motor, because the motor is more efficient than others of equivalent rotational power.

No idea if this is true, but I think it's what they mean.
Yeah, I briefly tried using nvim for csharp dev and discovered that even though csharp lsp is open source, the razor lsp integration is not (or was not at the time) and the vscode plugin downloads some proprietary binary.

Haha please don't use your affinity to TikTok as a measuring stick for how 'fun' you are! Everyone is fun in their own ways, I'm sure you are a hoot.
Why no one in here understands TikTok is because ya'll old. Like, I know you don't wanna hear that as the reason, but it's true. Can't ya'll remember some shit your parents didn't understand, but just made sense to you?

It's just entertainment. You could say the same about books or TV. At least Facebook, Instagram and TikTok are social and interactive and encourage people to produce content instead of just consuming passively.
Just out of curiosity what are you using to read RSS feeds
Very cool! It's very useful! Thanks for sharing!=]
Glad I never installed TikTok nor Facebook nor Instagram on my phone.
Your comment is incomprehensible.
Yup, gradle is a huge barrier to entry - esp. with the whole disparity between kotlin dsl and gradle dsl.

At its core, gradle as a task runner is pretty neat. But the layers of abstraction built upon it often make things superhard when you need to deviate from the setup offered by the starters.

While the official docs have started to show examples in both, almost always a stackoverflow answer or online blog post you find while googling is in the other dsl and converting between them is non-trivial.
I agree with you but I don't like that I do. Needles churn is one thing, but deliberately ceasing innovation and 'settling' seems like a loss.

If we could all agree to a synchronised hype cycle that may help :)
It's not the brushes because this motor doesn't have any. If it was about brushes they would have said "100% less." They're talking about GHGs produced by generating the electricity that runs the motor.
Just basic personal, intellectual, spiritual, career, biological, financial, social growth will do the thing for you.

As it did for me in similar situation and many of my friends who didn’t stuck with some guru shmucks trying to sell them instant macho bullshit.

Unless it’s a medical diagnosis there’s nothing specific to do about except just fully and responsibly live your life.

I know about that but don't know if it works for updating a branch before merging it. I'll have to try changing it to that setting.
> Heat pumps, which heat and cool in one system, are another application in which the motor can save energy, ease installation, and reduce noise.

Assuming the efficiency gains are real, increasing the max COP ("efficiency") of heat pumps beyond their already astounding levels of near 5 (500%) would be a game changer for heating and cooling.

Even at quite cold temperatures (sub freezing), the latest heat pumps achieve a COP of 2.5 (250%), a level at which they beat the efficiency of gas furnaces even when powered by 40% efficient natural gas generated electricity.
The way tiktok pigeonholes you into content categories can be outright condescending though.
No other platform does it that blatently.

OK; you start out with the default german content, if you do no how to mark stuff as not interested on the FYP you might get promoted to german expat content.
Don't know if the mainstream US experience is different, but at least for me the new content is not enough to keep me hooked for more the 1h/month.

Might be different, if you have to work through the whole tiktok back catalog first, but to me it's nowhere near twitter or even instagram in addictiveness.

The lack of realtime shared news experience is also a thing, and it's less ephermeral nature than, let's say Insta-stories, the FOMO is less then everywhere else to me. Which is a good thing.

I've read rather too much of the fascinating comments thread you've indirectly linked to, but this nugget by Mike Shulman in that thread seems especially relevant to the present one:

> If we distill it down from the categorical heights, this brings us back to John Baez’s pithy quote about equality: “Every interesting equation is a lie.” The only obviously true equation is x=x, but it carries no (or little) information. Any other equation, like x=y, is “a lie” because x and y are not the same thing; yet what is interesting about the equality is that they are nevertheless the same in some way. But knowing the equation doesn’t mean that we should forget all about y and use only x; the point of having the equation is that we can pass back and forth between x and y, according to which is most appropriate in any given context.
Sometimes Google ends a project, product or service and ceases to fund it. Engineers are often given plenty of time to find new roles working on other things. Sometimes employees stubbornly don’t get the hint, and then Google needs to tell them “hey you really do need to find another team”. The act of notifying the employee that they need to find a new job or else be laid off is the formal way Google does this.

Considering how many teams are hiring at Google, multiple hundreds of jobs in Seattle alone — I would be surprised if this person couldn’t find a job if they tried not particularly hard.

Disclosure: I worked for Google for 7 years, was an Eng Director, and (indirectly) managed hundreds of employees.
No, but it doesn't have to be all or nothing. Some ideas that you could start with:

- A repo that builds a toy version of your company's application. New hires have to write tests for some of the components and present a mergeable patch (which is never actually merged).

- A set of scripts that verify that the new hire has access to everything they will need. The script should clearly display current access level and what is remaining.

I've been waiting for the arguments against Flash and Java applets (constant vulnerabilities + sites clogged with bad code) to finally become the argument against Javascript. Still waiting. The only reason it hasn't seems to me the massive investment by Google in speeding up the engine to the point where something even slower and more full of crud can seem relatively snappy on a mobile device.
Anybody who wants to do this has to be willing to step off the gravy train. That sounds snarky, but it just reflects the Hard Problem of a skill that's of value in two sectors with vastly different economics.

There are people who have stepped off the gravy train because they don't like it, or they don't fit into the enterprise workplace for whatever reason. I might be one of those people. I work in industry, but in an early-stage R&D team.

Maybe the status quo is a reasonable solution: Find grad students who are willing to do the work in return for a chance to sharpen their programming skills. This process could be improved by providing scientists with training on how to write better code. The result will be a certain amount of attrition of scientists into software development jobs, but we have to get used to the idea that attrition into a more employable field is actually a good thing, and there will be plenty of scientists.
Frankly we are sick of set theorist traditionalists complaining about type theory, category theory, and other new things without actually bothering to understand them at all.

After multiple decades, it's clear you all are never going to bother to learn our stuff nearly as well as we bothered to learn your stuff. This "debate" is thus completely unproductive without any good agreed-upon foundation to argue form.

(How ironic!)
>Knowing this, Thibado’s group built their circuit with two diodes for converting AC into a direct current (DC). With the diodes in opposition allowing the current to flow both ways, they provide separate paths through the circuit, producing a pulsing DC current that performs work on a load resistor.

Always a bit hmmm when I see something simple like a rectifier spun out in a way that eludes that they invented some revolutionary new circuit.
You're talking to a transformer language model.
This is true, but look into the terms and conditions. For many/most, it's basically indentured servitude until you've paid off your debt to the company. Which may not be entirely unreasonable, given the economics and how it's structured. It may be a decent alternative to the military for some.

But it's not at all the same as being hired and trained on the job as a part of your work, as many jobs used to be and a few somewhat still are.
This is just annoying "Gaslighting" and nothing more. Geopolitics is way more complex than such simplistic viewpoints. Here is one of my previous comments with links to some enlightening reading material: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30559136#30565003

There are a lot of countries particularly in Africa, Middle East and Asia who have gone on record saying they understand the Russian pov without condoning it. Everybody knew something bad was going to happen if NATO and Russia kept up their tit-for-tats with the 2014 Crimean annexation being the biggest red flag in the sequence of events. NATO/US/EU are fully to blame as much as Russia for the current suffering of the Ukrainians (and the Russians).
As a Catholic, your hour of prayer is supposed to be reserved for glorying God, giving thanks and showing respect. It's not an hour spent with a list of "requests" , this is not what religious people do.

There can be moments of personal intentions (both during vigils and prayers) but most of the time people offer them for health and well being of others. We are not supposed to really care much about earthly possessions as our hearts should belong to God first and our neighbors second (Matthew 22:36-40).
There's one electric car company that named itself after the inventor of the motor they used. And he died about 60 years before the company was founded so I don't see them claiming to have invented motors.

(Okay there's actually a second EV company that named themselves after the same inventor's first name, but they're a fraud.)
The only thing I know about you is that you said this. I'm fully convinced that you'd make an excellent baker.
Isn't the obvious solution here to just cache the delay? The browser presumably knows how long the original resource request took when site A made it, so it can just expose the same latency to site B and - since the cache by definition only hits if the request is identical - site B can't tell whether it's delayed by artificial cache latency or actual network latency. Chuck a symlink to the resource into each per-origin cache so non-initial requests still finish immediately, and possibly add a small chance of silently retrying the underlying request to see if it gets faster (with probability that can be computed entirely from site-B-observable load times).
Sorry, no. MDMA is not the same as meth. The molecules are similar, sure, but they are different substances with different effects. Trying to equate the two is pretty disingenuous.

> With lisp machines, we can cut out the complicated multi-language, multi library mess from the stack, eliminate memory leaks and questions of type safety, binary exploits, and millions of lines of sheer complexity that clog up modern computers.

Oh man, wat?

I love lisp as much as the next guy.

But you absolutely can have library mess, memory leaks, and millions of lines of code using a Lisp. You arguably can have a "multi-language" mess, too, because Lisp gives you wonderful tools to create DSLs; I'd say creating a language that fits your needs, and then using it, is the right way to use Lisp.

I use Emacs daily, and see how an all-Lisp environment can make for a good, productive interactive experience. More efforts in this area would be quite welcome, but this is a shell, not a kernel.

I still suppose that systems software, and especially the key parts of an OS, need a language more like Rust than like Lisp, with a good affinity to raw hardware, and a ton of static guarantees.
I don't know I work for an old-school very corporate-feeling company. I feel like I would be presenting as too casual. I work in finance and while we (software developers) don't have to wear suits or traditional business-ware like traders, fund managers or other associates, sitting in my sofa couch in a t-shirt just feels like it would come off ass to casual.
Yeah, like the other commenter said, Typescript has better (more comprehensive) null-checking than Kotlin (and, imo, a better type system in general).

Obviously both are miles ahead of Java.
> but rather the discovery that the ratio is pretty stable

The thing is, it isn't stable. It just doesn't depend on the language, what is very surprising. But it varies enormously from one study to another and, AFAIK, nobody has a good set of factors explaining it.
Tiktok is the only app I have ever used that put me in some kind of niche that no other website has been able to before. Extremely small group of people yet they found me and the others in the comments were equally surprised. I wonder how they do it.
Anyone else think it's odd a brief post of this nature is voted so highly on HN?
Congratulations on the launch!

I have two perspectives on suicide.

First, 'Informed Suicide' where a person rationally determines that there's no point in continuing their life after exhausting all other options. Deliberate hurdles to prevent that person from ending their life through social stigma, criminal action(laws against suicide), unavailability of euthanasia just feels like taking away their right, treating them as a commodity and leading them to painful death or disability through botched suicides.

Second, 'Hasty Suicide' where a person haven't exhausted all options, they like living but they don't like their current life. I think the intervention methods are very useful for preventing such suicides. I hope Koko library comes handy to make this process more efficient to saves more lives 'which want to be saved'.

I see the social and practical reasons for why suicides aren't categorized, I just wish it was.
None that I'm aware of. I'm pretty cautious disease-wise, and I've managed not to catch anything serious since.
