> I think having control has a lot to do with it;

Yup. If the neighbor decides to play one of my favorite song ever, I'll still be pissed if I'm trying to watch a TV show.
Here is one strategy that I enjoy:

Start a notes checklist on your phone of what you could have done to prevent the situation in the first place.

It will grow to probably over 40-50 things over the course of two months. And you will start to realize as you read the list the types of themes that are upsetting and stressful to her.

This has helped but your mileage may vary, it is illuminating though…
How do you feel about being repeatedly punched in the dick?

Is he popular? I’ve only run across his videos once or twice but I get the feeling our estimations of his technical knowledge match.
I always assumed that they were getting paid.

I can’t think of any reason why a spam Pinterest link has any value, yet it’s ranked high.
For many years I've been searching for the perfect beach; the one with the white sand and palm trees from the postcards. I've gone half way around the world on this quest, sailed to places few will ever see.

I've come to the conclusion this beach does not exist; beaches are only ever free of pollution when they are regularly cleaned by humans, regardless of how remote it is.
> some minor thing that exploded into a 6 hour argument, while I was trying to disengage the whole time, but couldn't.

If a minor thing can explode into a 6 hour argument, then there's no salvaging this relationship. Your partner was simply not ready for it. It's not even a red flag. It's like a Soviet Army marching on your lawn.

Run, run, run, because you deserve better.

> A couple weeks ago I had enough, and decided I needed more autonomy, and moved out

I don't know how long your relationship lasted, but I'm glad you made the right choice in the end.
Super curious about the inter-workings of this system
This bit from the article, "In 2003, Bush quietly installed a 9 kW solar system on the grounds maintenance building. He also installed two solar thermal systems to supply electricity to the White House, one to heat the spa and one to heat the pool." makes no sense.

It is possible to construct from the pieces something that would make sense, but there is no reason to think it would be correct.
And that's his problem?
Sorry I just changed the question/description. But I think now it works better, and you answer is spot on :)
Why not play educational games then?
>As these scam artists get better and better at this, Google gets less and less useful.

Any ranking manoeuvrability that Google offers can and will be used against them.

The SEO scammers out there would just automate millions of proxy IP addresses to blacklist all of their competitors sites.
Sure but what if the US Engineering population represents a large portion of your paid-user demographics. For a lot of HN's startups this is very much the case.
Probably similar reason why, after about 5-6 back and forth cycles in a direct Slack chat, I will usually suggest we get open a voice call to finish the conversation. It is faster and the level of communication is better. Typing is slower and you don’t get nuance hence why some people use emoji.

I totally understand why the person above indicated that they preferred signing to typing.
> and designed proteins don't approach the efficiency of the evolutionary selected proteins

This sounds interesting. Can you talk more about this? Efficiency in what sense, energy efficiency in the actual protein assembly in biological systems, or efficiency in actual performance of the protein while it's functioning in a biological system?
> All I seek is a full sensory experience of what I see and feel within a virtual environment.

That's it, huh? Want me to pick up any other scientific advances for you while I'm out? A warp drive or time machine perhaps?
Completely agree. Can we please keep the pitchforks on Reddit. It's so incredibly easily to point the finger when you really have no idea. I'm all for calling out their lack of communication, but picking someone you deem to be responsible and calling for their head is pretty medieval.
We've literally just started seeing the birth of vr gaming
Pfff! Amateur! You should try pulling the plug out of the tub when its filled with my wife's bathwater.
Where is another place where all the products are locked up like this? I've been to cities all over the US and haven't seen this anywhere else. So, I think it is actually unique to SF.
I still rather enjoy videogames in my advanced age, and yet here I find that your list is the equivalent of white toast.
This concept looks great, and while I do not play any games with online components or games on Steam, I might just buy this. I’m definitely going to grab a bookmark for the page and watch the progress.

They also refer to it as a "Transaction Lookaside Buffer", which reinforces the impression given off by the overall twitter thread that this was secondhand information relayed by somebody who has a very weak grasp of the technical details involved.
You're thinking of Ken Rockwell.
You need a LOT of concrete, dry wall, green glue and mass loaded vinyl to block out a standard piano...
I'd love to see an additional section on unit testing -- if we wanted to write some assertions on our async http handler that queries the database, what would that look like? Would we need to structure the code differently in order to test it?
Having a super dysfunctional police force, or justice system generally, is hardly unique to SF. I'd even say it's normal.

In a lot of places, what the store would do would be to pay a local gang or mafia to protect the store.
We've literally seen the recent birth of a whole new mode of gaming in the form of vr, with its rapidly evolving ui coming with it.
First, congratulations! It's a paper worth HN attention. Very cool.

Second: do Hacker News posts form a small-world network? I don't know. I don't even know if my question is well posed (it might be a meaningless question). Does the set of Hacker News articles change over time in ways that resemble annealing or self-training matrices? (likewise, I question this question, but I wonder.)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_world_network
Oh boy, here we go. First, I meant that on multiple levels. Tarkov has some interesting dynamics with competition and dual classes of players, and competing incentives to both team up and betray others based on in-game tasks and rep systems. The high emphasis on looting (my understanding is it's like Rust but more) and penalties for dying (you lose what you brought in), make for tense interactions. They just added in-game VoIP this last wipe (late December. Every 6 months or so they wipe player status and make everyone start over along with a big patch to change some of the game, because it's still beta).

That's the player side. The other faith you'll lose is in the developers to fix your pet peeve bug, because while they make large gains and fix many things, other small things tend to be left for a long time that drive people crazy.

I've not played Rust, but from what I've seen of it and what people have commented, Tarkov is like Rust but more extreme and more realistic. Depending on why you liked Rust, you might downright love Tarkov, and it's already highly addictive, so maybe don't install it? It often feels like Dark Souls the looter FPS edition, because it's so, so rough sometimes.
i use Neovim if that’s considered nonstandard.

I’m pretty sure even with plug-ins it’s light on resources. Without plug-ins it’s just a text editor, but with plugins you can get a language server (code analysis, auto completion, etc.), file tree, debugger, and anything else you need to basically make it an IDE.

The only issue is that there’s definitely a learning curve. Not just to learn vim, but also to figure out which plug-ins to use, and debug any issues (because they expect you to have more experience hacking stuff). Most operations are shortcuts, they’re not immediately clear like in an IDE.

I recommend Lunar-vim or NvChad as those seem easy to install, and neovide (GUI for neovim, aka a window you can run it in instead of a terminal which should also support all of neovim plugin’s weird features like displaying images).

Alternatively there are lots of mini-IDEs designed to be like VSCode but smaller. You can find some on past threads.
> How about we not make the default that companies can do whatever they want and users have to take steps like a hardware-muted mic

You're implying government policy for how companies operate in this area... Which is worth pursuing, but we all know that usually ends up half way effective, requires a cat and mouse game of auditing and enforcement, or big companies playing fight club math with the fines.

Even if this was already the case for this particular issue, as users we end up never really being sure if a company is violating that particular requirement.

> users have to take steps like a hardware-muted mic (which isn't always an option) to ensure a basic expectation of privacy?

This should be the default, just like how operating systems and networking evolved over the past 30 years starting with a "trusts everyone" attitude towards a "trust no one" by default. We need to assume most companies are potential bad actors, the hardware and software that comprises the basic operation of our device needs to provide the user with facilities to control flow of information separate from third parties, especially when it comes to input devices. In the case of microphones and cameras hardware switches should be the norm, or at minimum indicator lights.

This could also quite easily be a government policy for hardware vendors, and I suspect it would be more effective... It only has to reach a threshold after which users expectations shift to force manufacturers hands, so it's direct effect need not be as comprehensive to be effective.
I think you'll find that powering a wheel through a full 90 degrees about a vertical axis would be extremely challenging before the availability of electric motors.

Hell, just creating a linkage that allows it to turn that much and also maintains any kind of reasonable suspension geometry and the required clearances, etc at non-extreme angles would be tricky.
Bodybuilding legend Cedric McMillan dies at age 44
Interesting, I see both sides. I agree completely with you that they shouldn't extrapolate. But in the case of attempted murder, wouldn't this just mean proving beyond doubt that someone tried to kill? If there is doubt that the accused meant only to harm, for example, then I get it. But if they provably tried to kill, however you prove that, then I see the argument that it's irrelevant whether they succeeded or not.

Anyway, it's moot imo because I don't believe in a retributive justice system, I think the only concern should be preventing recidivism. But your post has made me think a bit, I'm still not sure what the "right" answer is here
Kinda proving the point there. You not playing games has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not they are enjoyable.

I found this happens as I get older.

For a game to really grab me it has to be an exact match to the sort of game I really like.

I do wonder if it relates to imagination also seeming to fade with age.

I'm just alot less interested in games now than I was when younger.
This is so cool! I think I'm going to gift your book to my niblings next Christmas. Thank you for sharing!
I remember when this article came out, everybody was pointing out the fact that they used a go version that was several releases older.

Perhaps if the intent wasn't to convince their managers to let them write it in Rust, they would have tried using the latest Go version at the time?
So, obviously Hikaru is rated lower than most of the players in the candidates, even with the recent surge. It's equally obvious that he's a much stronger player than he was going into his semi-retirement a few years ago. The question is, given his recent 2800+ tournament performance ratings and dominance in all time controls that he's played over the last year, is his actual playing strength back at the 2800+, world #2 level it used to be? It's entirely plausible based on what we see, and lots of chess people think that he, indeed, as strong of a player as he looks. That would make him competitive in the candidates (though, that is a total crapshoot, and no one is a "favorite" to win.)
My Dell laptop from work has this feature, there is a mute mic button and it lights up. With my desktop I have a usb mic that has a mute button and a red/green LED to indicate the state.
Thanks!
Yes, that is the plan. I have put together a list of OSS alternatives lists on Github. I will start seeding the database to get the network effects going.
those sites would just clone themselves with a different domain
My favorite part of video games was exploring a world with my friends. First MUDs, then EverQuest.

But nowadays everyone just uses guides. I guess they didn't really enjoy that aspect. Now it's all about doing mechanics and advancement.
If you swapped to turn based (with time restricted turn length) and inserted a dedicated tactical combat at varying element size layer to enhance the strategic layer I would probably actually play an online game.
Yes, it requires a little bit of work and scheduling. Very different to running the entire thing yourself, though!
"Recipe sites are notorious for SEO tactics. They all follow the same highly optimized format with the stupid story about the author's grandma and how they just couldn't get enough of these cookies, and how the recipe was lost for 90 years until recently their great great uncle Lou found a copy of the recipe in an old donut."

I LOL'ed. Thank you for that.
This view vastly underestimates the ability of a completely wrong party to sue for slander. In the US at least. You see this with pseudoscientific snake oil salesmen all the time.
Cool!

I am working on something related https://bruzu.com

Harnessing the power of URL string.
It must be the coverable amount. At 16kB pages, it would be 2048 entries, a reasonable TLB size.

The CPU is said to have 3072 L2TLB entries, so that's not quite a match. Perhaps this "32MB TLB" is a GPU-only TLB; perhaps it does not support variable page sizes.
But you can get 36-40% efficiency with a steam turbine in a fossil-fuel plant, and IIRC coal flame temperatures can exceed 1000C (presumably the steam is much cooler; 500C sounds like a reasonable guess; I could only find that nuclear plants have a relatively low steam temperature of around 280C).

[edit]

Efficiencies of over 40% in steam turbines with temperatures between 500 and 600C from an article in 2002: https://www.power-eng.com/news/new-benchmarks-for-steam-turb...

Thanks!

That is a good idea, I could create a metric from recent commits, releases, open issues, open PRs. I will also add these details to each projects own page.
Yep! Ran CAT5 throughout my house while it was being built. Proved very handy.
Parallel parking just isn't hard enough to justify the expense and complexity (same thing, really) of adding this device to a car. This is a lot of gizmosity to solve a problem that can be solved with a couple hours of practice on a quiet street.
I should add that i still mainly use JetBrains software when working on large projects. IntelliJ’s code analysis is unparalleled. But i use neovim for smaller stuff and languages where JetBrains analysis doesn’t beat LSP. Like I said, there’s a learning curve but once you pass it everything is comfortable and workable.
People need to stop thinking this bot was a serious attempt. It is very obviously a troll making fun of people who advocate for gender neutral phrasing.
There's a video game that never bores me called Linux. You should try it out.

In Linux, you can download software, and learn to use it to solve a wide array of problems. You can edit files, one of life's simple pleasures. If you find yourself repeating a task, you can find ways to automate it. Doing an old task faster means you levelled up, which gets the blood flowing. You can explore vast worlds (ecosystems/code bases) and satisfy your intellectual/narrative curiosity. The game has multiplayer elements too.

All of this is lots of *fun* if you're not doing for $JOB. I'm personally addiccted to this video game, and play it hours daily.

The above is sort of a joke, but I really do feel this way. Linux+OSS is a video game.
Doesn't SF tick all these boxes?
Also the attitude towards taxes, guns and welfare are side to side all over Europe.
I recently started using Linear at my new job, and I am a big fan.

1. It's snappy. Moving between issues and views is a breeze.

2. The UI is extremely functional and consistent.

3. Great keyboard shortcuts!

Using Jira felt like having brain fog, and Linear is such a relief after that experience.
There are different goals with games. For the author, they want a specific genre that hasn't really been done before (massively multiplayer co-op) because they want a grand unified goal to cooperate with people towards.

That doesn't mean that games are boring though, especially when looking at the subset op mentioned. In most of those games the goal is to beat your opponent (with the exception of metal gear and payday) through dexterity or skill - it's high intensity and can get hollow when you stagnate in skill level.

Other goals might be engineering success (factorio, dyson sphere project, satisfactory), or unique experiences (stanley parable, superhot), or group fun (among us, gorilla tag), or just a great storyline (disco elysium, undertale, hades).

One goal might be played out for OP, but there are many other ways to enjoy games.

Let’s calculate the amount of agricultural effort it would take to feed the average adult until age 70. To first order, corn providing calories plus adjustments. In the US, I find about two weeks of adult agricultural labor are required to feed an adult to age 70.

Assume one average US farm family (1000 acres, 200 bushels/acre corn) effort feeds 25000 adults/yr,

defined as adequate calories from corn (8 bushels/year to provide annual calories for one adult).

So 350 food lives/yr from birth to death (75-80 yr life expectancy).

Every day, a farm family (3-5 for 1000 acre farm) births a new food life.

Can’t just eat corn so soybeans, vegetables, meat…count machinery, fuel, processing, shipping…let’s multiply that by a fudge factor of 3 to account for that. Two extra people for every farm family member for additional crops, distribution, shipping, fuel, machinery.

So, 3-5 person/days * 3 ~ 14 days. Two weeks adult ag labor provides for 70 years of adequate food for one person.

I could squeeze two weeks labor into a beach schedule sometime over 50 years to be assured to eat for the rest of my life.

Lots of ways to challenge the numbers…but double, triple them, and it’s still a tiny fraction of a life.

IT tech is fine, but ag tech improvements have fed, and continue to feed, the world.
I have vague memories of doing this.

For my final year project in university I made a signal generator that was controlled via the parallel port. Would create the desired waveform in a GUI DOS program, then download via the parallel port. Would also start/stop the signal generator via computer.

Serisously, though, I think that's what great about having a partner. In the eyes of some random dickhead on the internet, at least, you make a fair point on (1) and (3), but (2) and (4) are maybe things your partner's value system handles better.
I don't have Postgres/MySQL scaling experience beyond wrangling some largeish monoliths with < 100 databases.

But,

You can imagine problems restoring one
individual tenant's data to an otherwise
active database with many tenants

any cross-tenant primary keys

Why would multiple tenants share a database? Sharing a database server, yes, but sharing databases and mingling primary keys and such?

That's such a recipe for disaster; giving each client their own database seems like the easiest win in the world.

But I'm not intimate with Atlassian products. Maybe they have some products where that's not practical for some reason.
And what was the purpose of said law again?
If i increase the price of cars by a 1000x, am i not deciding who gets to buy and then use one? I'm making it harder to buy cars with the intention of less people using it, just like carbon taxes and the like.
author here. I agree! The best part of games is the social aspect, which if we have been losing (in the West, at least) since the deindustrilization times, games should be able to connect people more, rather than forcing them to the manual labor of grinding and gacha (there are players that seem to enjoy that though)
Added an issue here: https://github.com/facebook/lexical/issues/1699

And, as a side note, great work on this project. I had previously built a wysiwyg system from Slate and a custom plugin system; Lexical seems like a solid progression and has some interesting ideas like using React components the way it does to facilitate editor plugins. May have to try creating a Preact wrapper so I can use it in my projects.
What do you mean by “you won’t like it”?

If self-hosting is the best option for you, do it. I won’t judge you. I just don’t want to take that option for myself, and I don’t want to be judged for it either.
> "I want a big picture, a grand goal that we strive towards. Something noble that we yearn for"

In fact this is not unique to millennials but is an age old struggle of humanity where religion is discovered, abandoned for one reason or another, then rediscovered again once secularism/nihilism doesn't provide the fulfilling sense of purpose everyone yearns for, ad infinitum
