My 9yo was absolutely thrilled to find an app on iOS with a similar concept to this - I believe it's https://www.draw-your-game.com/. He's thoroughly familiar with ScratchJr so he's already making games there, but I don't think he's quite ready for me to stick him in front of Unity just yet.

Good on the dev for doing something in this space, it'll be appreciated.

I, too, don't mind going back to the office. But I also have a very short commute - 5 min walk. OTOH, I work with people that have a 1 hour commute each direction, and they tend to WFH much more frequently.

I think the motivation to work from home is inversely proportional to your commute distance / time.

>Truck drivers are rapidly aging as well, if self driving vehicles move retirement up by 5 or so years, it isn't going that huge of a deal

That's quite optimistic. When did politicians ever talk about moving up the retirement age in the last decades.

The internet brought insane growth through productivity gains in all industries. Even more than I'd expect from self-driving cars. And we haven't talked about moving up the retirement age.

Also the question is what these people do now? In the next twenty years of unemployment until they reach the current retirement age?
Wondering if this (plus Safari's reader mode heuristics if those are any different) could form the basis of a much-needed reduced HTML subset. Like, for the HTML we're actually searching, as opposed to the trackfest and seo'd articles search engines are giving us.

Edit: so much for the illusion of "semantic HTML" ie where you need heuristics and are entering an arm's race vs publishers to make your HTML even readable
On a local scale monopolising the consumption of renewable energy is certainly an important consideration. Keep in mind that The Netherlands is a rather dense country. Every windmill is in someone's proverbial backyard, and has thus been fought over. Also, like in many places, the grid has trouble keeping up with the load.
In the UK buses never seemed to have any change so the transition to using cars has made taking the bus much more convenient.

> They're just built for features of Go

They're inferior, and do not cover the same grounds (e.g. "enums" in golang are just integer constants, you can't code gen using golang tags, JFR is way way more comprehensive than anything that golang has etc.)

The GC selection, JIT, and hot swapping/reloading are features that do not exist in golang, and we've seen what hoops people have to jump through when they face issues that can only be resolved by them. Basically, they're features most people don't know they need them until they do, then they'er already in a big mess.

You can write a Java app in golang or assembly, but it won't be anywhere near as maintainable, clear, concise, debuggable, or correct.

The volatile keyword in C has nothing to do with cache coherence and does not prevent cache coherence issues.

It just forces the compiler to generate all memory accesses on this variable. And if this variable is in a cached memory region, then it opens the door to very usual cache coherency problems

Raudio: platform for hosting and streaming music
A group of my friends made this platform as part of a course we’re taking that teaches us about open source software development practices, and we would like to announce that we’ve finished its basic functionality.

We created this in response to the Rythm bot for Discord being shut down, and intend to have it so that you could use our API to stream files on a remote machine to multiple clients. We provided an example client as a Discord bot.

Demonstration video (apologies for the bad quality!): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BElcWOi4bPMGhvmtrWqdAZ5P-9I80xB4/view

We’re hoping to grow a community on this, since it’s great to have actual users and contributors (if possible!) We opened a few issues, and think it would be cool to see people eventually start making their own clients if they have preferences for audio streaming other than Discord voice channels!

Here’s the organization repo: https://github.com/raudio-project

Here’s the landing page: https://raudio-project.github.io/

And the Discord server link: https://discord.com/invite/FM78JTfU9X

Any and all feedback is appreciated! Also, please feel free to join the Discord and have a chat with us!
Stanford researchers solve the mystery of the dancing droplets (2015)
Posting this to get some ideas from people on reception. The pcb look too big from ideal design though understandable/tangible.

I am curious how well it works.
The author of this blog doesn't seem to like anything that happened in Linux after 2010.

Any time I see the domain, I know what I'm in for. But aside from "everything was fine the way it was", I've not seen the author ever present a better way forward when discussing how much they dislike systemd/Wayland/Gnome > some version, and now we can add Debian to the list.

I get it, having a rant is fun, but for your rant to be useful, especially when it's about FOSS projects, presenting a potential path forward is both an antidote to the incessant "bah humbug", and a way to maybe inspire the change you desire.

I use fosstodon.org. I don't know what version it has, but I can just click on any post's favourite button (or reply to it or boost it) even if it's from another instance. So I reckon if there was an issue before, it has been fixed or it's not universal to all deployments.
I agree that the truckers were super disruptive. I’m glad some punitive action was taken.

But freezing the bank accounts of people who donated to them without due process is beyond the pail. Given that cash is mostly dead as a result of covid, banking needs to be considered a basic right. It shouldn’t be able to be revoked simply because the government doesn’t like what you do with your money.
Dang - from the way the article was written, I was really hoping to see some magic static code analyzer that would explain a system to a developer. But instead it looks like some enhanced version of Jupyter notebooks?

>I would guess this is an attempt to quash the drug trade, which requires cash.

It's driven by consumers and businesses serving them. I'm sure the government don't mind, especially HMRC, but they aren't the ones instigating this.

> GOAMD64 could be significant, so I'm not sure why your comment seems to dismiss it?

Because it's not just upgrading from 1.17 to 1.18, you actually need to set it. Also because I ran a bunch of our code's benchmark suites, including a rather large set of custom serdes, and saw no improvements. Even some of the synthetic benchmarks used to introduce the new optimizations are below 10%.

Hopefully it'll grow in scope over the next few versions.
Monomorphisation is a double-edged blade. Sometimes keeping the code smaller and hot is better than inlining everything, especially when your application does not exclusively own all the system resources (an assumption that many “systems programming languages” sadly do). There is too much focus on “performance” aka. microbenchmarks, but they don’t tell you the whole story. If you have a heavily async environment, with multiple tasks running in parallel and waiting on each other in complex patterns, more compact, reusable code can not only speed up the work but also allow you to do more work per watt of energy.

I think it’s great that golang designers decided to follow Swift’s approach instead of specializing everything. The performance issues can be fixed in time with more tools (like monomorphissation directives) and profile-guided optimization.

Every single US citizen I've ever spoken to has made this clear (sometimes only after a while) without fail.
He replied to MY top level comment. I said nothing about being in the UK. I replied to a reply.

The article was about cashless transition in UK, however many places are now similar and HN is a global forum.

I saw the metro.co.uk comment in one of his other responses. But for the sake of completeness it has a bunch of photos of people with a Romanian number plates car arriving and begging, and 'allegely' not being disabled.

It's not a good citation. For so many reasons. It's anecdotal, none of the people were arrested or even talked to.

I replied with pieces of my experience, which I agreed are only tangentially related, precisely because I have less experience (though not none) in the UK.

There are very similar narratives around begging, immigration, welfare and refugees. Whether it's "they're not real" or "they're not real refugees" or "they're all living the high life and don't really need welfare". It's the same poisonous argument.

In the case of welfare, we know that this is not the case. That only 0.04% (Australia) were actually bad actors.

I will happily provide citations around the other ones, but I'm on mobile at the moment.

Not all beggars are homeless and not all homeless people beg. But suggesting they're all just taking people's money without need (i.e. getting rich) is almost certainly not supported by numbers.

I will happily retract my statement if a valid citation is offered. Dylan16707's citation is better, but as he admits is limited because it is people that were arrested for begging, not the situation of all beggars.
Looks like it is manipulated similarly as google. Searched images of "white couple" shows mostly mixed couples.
You can still get redis-stack on AWS see Redis Cloud https://redis.com/try-free/

It's really nice that browsers offer reader modes, but they are frustratingly incomplete.

Really, let's switch to a user perspective once and consider - what if I always want reader mode? This is technologically complete impossible and all the solutions are a band-aid.

Firefox and others' attempts rely on the page authors' goodwill. But some pages will always attempt to frustrate reader modes.

Alternative approaches for content extraction use machine learning such as [1], but they of course need to be updated for culture- language- and technology-specific changes.

It's a mess and will remain so for the foreseeable future.

I wish there was a standalone version, so my mom could use it.

I, along with everyone in the embedded space, have been using separate function sections forever for --gc-sections and I would be very surprised if they really cause any bloat and duplication at runtime. Do you mean bloat for intermediate files?
All that stuff works fine. I think what they are talking about is following a user on another instance which is still a little clunky sometimes just because of the inherent nature of the domain where you view their profile and click follow being a different domain to where your account resides.
I generally just search for the user and click follow on my instance to avoid the redirection steps.
Making OSes or browsers you are in a market share competition whether you like it or not because that dictates a lot about changes to how the environment deals with you in the future. One can ignore the least engaged/satisfied/likely-to-contribute users and their perceptions at one's peril.
Ask HN: A feature update newsletter to app users?
So if you think about a complicated application like Microsoft Excel, how do people learn that for the first time?

If you're coming from Microsoft's side, and you're getting it integrated in some company, would a person go there/do some kind of group presentation and present it?

We're currently doing that, although trying to make the onboarding self-explanatory, make PDFs (how-to guides), videos, things like that.

But if you wanted to inform users of known issues, feature updates as they come out... is something like an email weird?

I know some apps you get an in-app popup about features, maybe you can get fancy and do the feature highlights... however our app is not a leisure type use. If you use it you're directly connecting two people eg. user/their customer.

So I've been trying to think of ways to make that process more legit. This way people can gradually add on the new features that come out to their existing knowledge of the application itself.
So it's not abuse then? If it was done according to law.
> After 14 years in JVM dev in areas where latency and reliability are business critical

What sort of industry/use cases are we talking here? There is business critical and mission critical and if your experience is in network applications as your next paragraph seems to imply then no offence, but you have never worked with critical systems where an nondeterministic GC pause can send billions worth of metal into the sun or kill people.
Something with “sharded consensus” like tikv or cockroach seems like a better fit based on this description
I have american colleagues who are undergoing various treatments and they know they can't lose their job because their health insurance would end and they cannot afford to pay for it without a job. Yes some kind of medicaid or other would eventually kick in, but it would still mean potentially months of going without cancer treatment because you lost your job.

In (most) European states it's just not a concern that anyone ever has - if you are getting treatment under national health service then it has nothing to do with your employment status and any treatment would just continue. If you need time off due to ilness it has to be paid for as well(employer only pays for a while, then the state takes over).

Organic Maps is the "original" maps.me. Though highly rated, maps.me changed ownership a few times and in between had removed lot of the original features. I believe at that time the original developers of maps.me launched Organic Maps, even though the changes mentioned above have now been reversed.

One advantage of Organic Maps is that it integrates well with OpenStreetMap. As I live in a place where OSM coverage is pretty average, I have fun adding places I know through this application and make small contributions in my own way. It also does not collect any user data. Give it a try.
All in all, I like it.

Gameplay is missing a few niceties that you see in slightly more sophisticated games (but, I see you listed LPC as a programming language, so I assume you know that). For instance, if the visible exits are north and south, I can't 'go north'. Instead, I just have to enter 'north' as a command. Likewise, I can't 'look at' a thing; it's just 'look <thing>'. It'd also be great to be able to 'take', 'get', and 'drop' certain things.

On the plus side, I like what happens when you do 'report bug'. At one time, I also considered making a resume kind of like this, except my idea was to embed it as JS code inside a PDF document. The PDF version of the resume doesn't look very good, though. It has a mostly blank first page with just a title, header, and footer when I 'print' it on my machine.
One of the big benefits of using a cloud build server like CircleCI is that it allows me to parallelize tasks. For example:

- Build code and lint code at the same time
- Run slow end-to-end tests in parallel

Is parallelization possible with Dagger, even in principle?

How do you get to 2kW per household? Even the (ridiculously high) comparisons provided by German utilities don’t claim more than 4500kWh/year for electricity. That’s about 10 kWh/day so about 0.5kW per household (yeah I’m lazy sue me). So the 200 MW kind of fit (factor of 4 off from your calculation).
In practice I’d be surprised if it’s even that much. The 4500kWh number is for a 4 person household, and there aren’t 400k 4 person households in Amsterdam. And city apartments tend to be newer (aka more efficient) than the rural parts that also contribute to that average, which is also quite historic.

So I would be surprised if that DC doesn’t require more energy than Amsterdam (at least the population, not sure how much heavy industry is there, but probably not too much)
i don't fully understand the argument that breaking up the big jsons into the kv tree wouldn't work. iirc, you can make wildcard style queries or at the very least efficiently dump the whole thing if you need...

overall though, the application sounds unique enough to where a custom directory/catalog/distributed load balancer may make sense.
This seems to tell a different story from reporting published one day earlier (2022-03-30) by Deutsche Welle: https://www.dw.com/en/germany-says-putin-agreed-to-keep-paym...
We're talking here about a case that was introduced by technology (wide possibility to emit chargebacks) and is fixed by technology (severely limit chargeback potential).
Sucrase does this by removing some things you might expect to be table stakes, like detecting invalid parse trees and complete JS syntax. Pragmatically, esbuild can also start faster and parallelize, which means shorter wall-clock builds.

That's why code review process must have a guidebook with a rule "it's on the reviewer to show why the suggested change has a tangible benefit".
Raw package count doesn't really compare, considering that Debian splits up packages a lot.

For example they have a lot of "-dbg", "-devel" and "-doc" packages that other distros might just choose to leave in the main package instead.
We don't even have apps to turn an Android/iOS device into a proper native webcam using UVC over USB2.0 & all attempts at RTSP/other sttreaming protocols just feel hacky & laggy.
One possible take from this is that having faith in your subordinates builds loyalty and loyalty is the currency of advancing in an organisation. At some point that might also mean giving leeway to those that might not deserve it to start in the game yourself.
It kinda makes sense not to accept payments in a currency the payer just can turn around and confiscate.

Green energy production is highly location dependent. Global production is irrelevant - this is about the Netherlands. The Netherlands is a densely populated country that does not have a lot of space for renewable energy, neither does it have large mountains or water reservoirs that can easily be used for hydro power.

This data centre alone was going to use 10% of all wind power capacity in the NL [1].

It is not only about this data centre either, this was merely the largest and most egregious. There have been a number of new data centre construction plans in the Netherlands by other tech giants, all planning to use government subsidised wind parks. All so that these companies can pretend to be green and put up nice websites like the one you linked, while the actual wind parks and green energy generation is paid for by the taxpayers.

> Has somebody confused or misrepresented measures of capacity and consumption ?

This was supposed to a colossal data center, the largest data centre in Europe [2]. They bought 166 hectares of ground (23M square feet) for its construction. It consuming as much as three of their other data centres would not be terribly surprising.

Open source has changed a lot recently. Most people/companies do open source to make money. The initial phase is just to make the software popular enough so that a money-making business can be built around it.
