The hardware seems separate from the software interface. Projects like WINE can convert DirectX calls to OpenGL or Vulkan calls, so it seems like a driver update could support a newer interface if needed.

For something that isn't supported at all like raytracing, those API calls would have to be dropped so you'd get a blank screen or only a UI. But something polygon-based, maybe you could drop the resolution and polygon count and that could be translated to the newer API.
Startups (and scammers) also harvest e-mails from HN and phish them. I posted a unique e-mail address here once and haven't stopped getting all kinds of scams and spam to it.
Haha, I’m not pro-Google (read my past comments). Just tired of the repetitive nonsense here.

I use:

}
env_parallel -Sserver-0{1..5} --tag --nonall iwashere

I like that I can try out the function locally before running it remotely.

I like that I do not have to give xargs a multiline argument.

I am terrible at quoting inside quoting inside quoting, so I like that I can simply avoid the quoting. I also think my colleagues will find it easier to read (thus maintain).
Crypto Industry Helps Write and Pass Its Own Agenda in State Capitols
Storage startups dying is a symptom of plummeting prices -- bad for them, very, very good for us.

There is little need, thus far, for storage, so little has been built. Right now, generating capacity is a better place to spend the money. Next year, the same storage will be much cheaper.

By the time any nuke started could be finished, even if it would have been competitive today, it would not when finished. So, it would be abandoned before completion. They would not return any of the money spent.
there's always people working behind the scenes that are under recognized by people in those types of channels, I think people who work at integration points between departments usually get the most props
There are several options how to make harvested energy work for interstellar travel

1. Just beam it with a huge laser to the spacecraft (google for several proposed projects already in development and plans for launch)
2. Store it onboard the spacecraft and then use, with multiple options and different levels of today's technology feasibility like creating a small spinning black hole or creation of exotic matter for warp drive

Robust Python and Python Distilled are both excellent and very recent.
You could use exactly the same encoding in Javascript with just a little more syntactic overhead (and strings instead of symbols). The syntactic overhead could easily be reduced by defining some functions and constants. This sort of approach to HTML generation is popular in the Lisp community, but it doesn't really rely on any features unique to Lisp.

Ask HN: How do I shutdown a project my users love?
I am a college student at Carnegie Mellon. I built a utility-based social network for CMU students.

https://starterpack.live/

CMU has a yearly Carnival which was this weekend, so I chose to launch it then. In our first day, we penetrated about 50% of all undergrads, and we are getting good use. My idea is simple and seems effective.

Except I messed up and launched too quickly since the semester is already soon over, and launching next fall would've been oppurtune. This is not the right time to expand to other schools since summer is coming. I should've started with another market.

Further, I'm poor! I've had a horrible response from investors (can't beat incumbents, doesn't scale, solo-founder, part-time, have to find product market fit for each community, Reddit can just copy). I grew up sporadically homeless and my family is still financially troubled, so I will be working remotely at my internship and at my family restaurant until 11pm everyday this summer. It is so frustrating.

For the CMU starterpack, I am making a daily Wordle-like puzzle, updating the fence, moderating, and adding new features. However, even as more CMU students use it, I want to discontinue it as I realize this will be more prohibitive come summer than beneficial.

How do I gracefully shutdown so that I may revive the project next school year?

> The key with these kinds of service is you have to run them consistently for 10-20 years before they start seeing the kind of ridership that can support the train density.

That's a good point. Whenever I've had the misfortune of using public transport in the US, it ended up being extremely unreliable.

Commuter bus at 6:30PM on a weekday? Just doesn't show up. Have to wait 40 minutes instead of 10.

NY to DC bus? Breaks down midway, have to wait an extra 2 hours for a relief bus to arrive.

DC to NY amtrak? Union station shut down for 3 hours due to weather-related power outage.

Now maybe I'm just super unlucky, but I've never heard of weather straight up shutting down an entire train station in other countries, especially in a nation's capital.

It’s interesting that the two comments to my comment referred to support.

I remember decades ago the email address in the code being the “resume” for people. People using the Linux mailing list for example to “harvest” emails to contact those people about employment.

I think it’s fair to say if you share your email address out in an open source project and give away it’s code, it is an open invitation to contact the person. After all, the purpose of the email address is generally for contacting people.

If you don’t want to be contacted, you already have a solution: don’t use a real email address. But if you are putting your email address out there in public these days, the ONLY reason you are doing that is to be contacted.
Because it is the role of a teacher to educate, and it's entirely possible that some children enter the classroom with a set of values incompatible with modern life?

In other words, for the same reason that a teacher should have "a position" on any other civil rights.
If we did this, it would fix the problem, and I'd support doing it. But it'll never happen because it's "too regressive".
+1 for a docs folder. It seems so ridiculous but I've come back to projects and can't remember where it's hosted, or how I deployed etc.

Great to have a few txt files that tell you how it all works, how you setup your server etc as it's surprising how much of your process can change over a few months/years.
> In creating an us-vs-them mentality I think Paul may inadvertently be adding to the actual biggest problem in civilized discourse these days — weaponized victimization and othering.

It's just plain old tribalist hypocrisy: people Graham agrees with are encouraged to weaponize their victimization, while people he disagrees with are denied. First-degree intolerance (including but not limited to "x-ism") is acceptable in any amount, second-degree intolerance (intolerance of intolerance) is verboten.
>V. The 1980 Presidential Election

[...]

>The Reagan-Bush campaign was afraid Carter would rescue the hostages and win the election. Before the election, there were many rumors and security leaks about an "October Surprise" hostage rescue attempt. Richard Werthlin, Reagan-Bush 1980 presidential campaign pollster, determined that an "October Surprise" would end their chances of winning the election. [25]

>On April 20, 1980, days before the actual mission, Mike Copeland ran a hypothetical hostage rescue story in the Washington Star that almost exactly predicted the real thing.

>Members of the Reagan-Bush campaign formed the October Surprise Working Group, to keep Carter from bringing hostages successfully home. [25] Richard Allen, Reagan's foreign policy advisor, was the head of the group. The group included William Casey, Reagan's 1980 campaign manager, who was later appointed CIA director. Casey was at the heart of the Iran-Contra Scandal, and died before he could testify. The group also included Vice Presidential candidate George Bush, who was eventually elected President of the United States in 1988.

James Damore was fired by Google, not a mob. The people at Google who made this decision read his "manifesto."
While it is true that it started as a 4-chan hoax, and the ADL considers it a hate symbol, that's not the entire story. The page of the ADL[0] explicitly mention that in the vast majority of cases it just means ok. Much like how 14 and 88 are perfectly normal numbers, but when someone uses a personalised numberplate Adolf1488 they probably didn't choose those numbers at random.

It's also that symbols and gestures evolve in a social context, people, language, customs and culture changes. It's not unthinkable for symbols to get a worse connotation over time because a group used them a lot. So the question then becomes, do actual white supremacists consistently use the symbol as a way to identify themselves? Eh, I don't think that's the case anymore or in meaningful quantities. But after the populairty of the hoax white supremacists did co-opt it for a while. Is it still completely meaningless if a racist mass-murderer flashes the symbol?

So yeah, indeed it started as a hoax, but the implication that the ADL only included it because they were somehow gulled by a hoax is incorrect.

(As an aside, the OK-gesture is quite culturally different and dependent on context in the first place. Had a mate who while drunk almost started a fight with some Turkish dudes by flashing it, since apparently it mimics the asshole and basically means "you're an asshole". And in France it apparently means that you're a zero, since it looks like a zero.)

It's amazing how rich some of the puzzles are in Advent of Code. Sometimes the question is about tabular data and so is naturally suited to Excel, other times a stack-based language fits better. There's countless answers posted online to each one, each equally valid but with different tradeoffs. Great outlet for this small-project programming.

>Reservoirs and pasture are places where siting solar is easy

Reservoirs are deep, pastures are not relevant everywhere. Both approaches are essentially theoretical at this point due to the increased cost of construction vs. dedicated solar farms.

>nowhere technical, and always political.

You're forgetting "pragmatic". Lots of things are technically possible but not economically practical, at least not when you need them to be. Nuclear prevents disruption in the short-term; it is not necessary in the very-long-term, but the markets can remain irrational longer than you or I can remain solvent.

>Disinformation is one political tool.

I know, you replied with it. I studied a bunch of dry economic data to write the gp comment. It's not disinfo to know where money comes from.

> somewhat low on evidence

Paul did address this though:

> I've deliberately avoided mentioning any specific heresies here. Partly because one of the universal tactics of heretic hunters, now as in the past, is to accuse those who disapprove of the way in which they suppress ideas of being heretics themselves. Indeed, this tactic is so consistent that you could use it as a way of detecting witch hunts in any era.

> And that's the second reason I've avoided mentioning any specific heresies. I want this essay to work in the future, not just now. And unfortunately it probably will. The aggressively conventional-minded will always be among us, looking for things to forbid. All they need is an ideology to tell them what. And it's unlikely the current one will be the last.
Peak HN: "I use my phone too much" -> "Life is inconvenient without my phone" -> "I must design my own phone from scratch"
Can you not reply from a user+foo@example.com alias? I use the catchall approach (so just foo@example.com when signing up for foo), but if I need to email customer support I'll just send the email from foo@example.com. I've never tried that with a + in the account though to see if my client supports it.
"Debunked" as in no conclusive evidence was confirmed by 3rd parties. It could just as equally mean that investigators might not have found the needle they're looking for in the supply chain haystack.

Aehm, no! Afghanistan was a reaction to 9/11, since the ruling Taliban had been accomodating and supporting Al Quaeda. The first (or second, depending on how you're counting) Gulf War started with Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait.
> When he writes about cancel culture, or maybe really culture of any sort: different story.

Is there anyone at all who writes "happily" about cancel culture? Even SJW's themselves can only give an impression of being perpetually angry and frustrated; they try to present their inner frustration wrt. the world at large as some sort of zeal for superior justice and universal social liberation, but don't quite manage to convince anyone.
Therefore it's not a problem of technology, but how to manage broader industry partnership, creating standards. Microsoft did it in its earlier days when there is a limited number of OS competitor. That window of opportunity has passed. Nobody can repeat MS Windows just like nobody can recreate ebay or facebook.

Contrary to the popular illusion, Apple is a hardware company, they've never positioned or good at making general purpose OS. Apple dominated by making hardware and "firmware" that exploits their hardware. A completely different lane of making.
Problems like that can only be fully fixed by correctly taxing externalities so that they're priced in. Telling one person on the internet to change their behavior won't have much impact.

> pushing for violent overthrow of the governments of other countries

This is a perfect description of US involvement in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Syria over the last 20 years, and many more countries prior to that.
I empathise. You can get a quick win just by using a Focus mode. Just make sure that it hides notifications on the home screen, and I’ve set it to dim the home screen so that it’s visually different.

The habit of walking past your phone – which, needless to say should not just be in your pocket all day – and hitting the screen to see what’s come in is neatly broken. Because now you can’t see what’s come in, you have to stop, bend over, unlock it. Now that’s an actual thing that you have to do.

That’s enough to cause my brain to say, no, you don’t need to do that. And I’ve found the needless-check-of-notifications cycle breaks itself quite naturally.

This assumes you can just leave your phone somewhere. I’m working from home so it can just sit in a corner of the office. Bonus points if you hide it in a drawer.

Edit: also, this lets anyone messaging you know that you’re in a DND-like mode. When I see this, I think, okay cool, don’t expect an immediate response. All good.
I am sure age is a factor, but the environment is changing so much quicker these days than it used to. That must make it only more difficult to stay up on the latest framework, which you probably feel understandably confident will be out of style in a year based on your experience.
Elon's robots might actually work out, at least in software.

This type of methodology, doing meta-cognitive programming by linking together different models, is awesome. They're constructing low resolution imitations of brains - gpt-3 and BERT and the like can do things that no individual model can achieve. A predicate logic layer can document and explain decision history, and the other modules start to resemble something like the subconscious mind.
Yes, but when the electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels, that process is only 40% or so efficient, whereas using the heat directly is lossless.

Here is my problem with it: It is not something that "appeared in the last 20 years". It was always like that.

You just from a group that was completely shielded from it.

Now the protective shield that you so used to starts to dissolve.

You start to realize how the real world works. Not so perfect. Not so happy.

And think that it is some new ill destroying your perfect happy world.
