One thing is lack of performance profiling, another thing is a design flaw (can this performance issue be really tackled or is it a limitation derived from the platform?). Which one are we looking at?
Ex-Amazon engineers put heads together to create ‘Tandem Shower’
Art Is. – – – Lorraine O'Grady (1983)
And to combine your observations with the parent of this sub thread: Netflix raised an insane amount of debt to fund all the projects a lot of people didn’t ever end up watching, and continued to keep raising subscription costs to cover the payments on that debt they raised. I don’t really know if it could’ve turned out differently after other media outlets decided they wanted to make their own exclusive streaming services.

I just watched a GDC talk on game tutorials [1].

He says much the same, but has some good ways to fix it in a game world.
I think it's much harder to have the environmental queues in an app, but I'd be curious what it'd look like.

I posted something that got traction and they changed the title considerably and also changed the URL. So yes, they definitely moderate lol.
Carousels with a native scroll bar are not that bad and they work without JS and can be acessible. They are a way to put a large number of items in a small section. Galleries with infinite scrolling can provide a better experience but I'm tired of pages where I can't scroll to the footer because the page keeps loading content as I scroll.
Shipping is generally charged by volume, not by weight. Think of a ship at sea.
I'd love to find an old TI DS-990/10 system. Used one in 1979 for a few years. Good times, implementing Kernighan and Plauger's code from Software Tools in Pascal.
eBay Australia. The Powermac goes for around $200 whereas a far more useful, but less sexy used office PC will set you back under $100.
Pocket Operator was their Clay Christensen. They're past that phase now.
One thing I’ve been looking forward to for years: type out what kind of art asset you want for your videogame, then use it immediately.

Can’t wait for it to be 3D. Replit has the 2D case, and it’s awesome. 13yo me was blocked primarily by lack of art. Unity sort of solved that, but it’s not effortless (or free).

Don’t really care if it annihilates everything that makes art special. The more creators, the better the world. (Is there a single counterexample in all of history?)
I've never heard of Kaiji before now.
I’m not surprised, I didn’t even read that one because of that. Although I was happy the article itself was about the failures of the implementation at its goals and not just the goals themselves.

I’ve also seen some individual comments on other threads that really just attack the author of the article in question with ad hominems and totally unnecessary insinuations. Not even political posts but things like the Python typing post from the other day.
I do a little TIG welding. The electrodes are made of mostly tungsten. (Tungsten is used for its high melting point. Lanthanum or some other elements are often added to raise the melting point somewhat.)

The electrodes aren't very big, but the density is definitely weird.
I think it is like 5 comments in the same hour and then you have to observe for the next 3 hours (or something like that, I don’t know exactly).

I love this feature. I’m of a personality which really easily gets baited into flamewars (which is against the guidelines). Being forced to stop after 5 posts forces me into a cooldown period where I can reflect on my behavior. When the shutdown is over I will probably be demotivated enough to continue this recklessness and the probability of me being yelled at by dang goes down with it.

If I have something important to say, it can wait a couple of hours.
That wasn’t my argument at all. They just aren’t distracted like the West is. They are laser focused on becoming the best in everything.
>Whether this is a substantial contributor is difficult to ascertain because people in the tech and filmmaking industries are unwilling to publicly acknowledge that this might actually be a problem.

Alternate take -it's not a problem and they're actually serving an audience which enjoys that content.

In the case of Netflix specifically, the problems that are driving people away are non-partisan in nature: shows being cancelled early, arbitrary price increases and clamping down on the password sharing policy.

None of those have anything to do with the culture war and everything to do with colossal mismanagement by Netflix. They'd be unchanged even if NetFlix's content was to the right of One America News.
If you don't use "fuck" in corporate communication, you're not doing it right. Use swears very sparingly (not in every email or presentation, for sure) and only deliberately for emphasis when you need a little shock. Especially effective when the leadup is really dry.

I doubt doubt the findings, but I haven't heard of an epidemic of micronutrient deficiencies. With a lot of micronutrients, you only need so much, and then your body dumps the rest. What you're saying might be true, but I'm not convinced it's a problem.
Hat tip for the clever solution. :) “If only there were a way to get a snapshot of any website at a given date..”
Ask HN: How To Avoid Infringing Software Patents?
I try to build a non-profit dating platform and while researching different approaches to matching, I discovered that matching is indeed patented by the parent company of Tinder.

How can I, as a single developer, with no money avoid to get sued by a patent holder?

I think there is a good chance that my project is infringing multiple software patents just because there is no other way to do something, or it is just reasonable to do it this way.
So another question would be how to find patents, since one have to know about a patent to avoid it, right?

Maybe I will just block US IPs and US phone numbers from registering, so I can't be sued for US patents.
Of course, check out MorphOS.

Try shipping/receiving anything from UK post-Brexit, clearing customs, etc.
Welcome newcomer. The path is clearer from now on.
This is true now. But for awhile did not and any video would keep the PC awake.

Ended up being a security risk at our company because someone in marketing didn’t know this and made a full screen video. Well, cleaning staff came in and almost all our PCs were on because lots of people use the company website.

Fixed that nonsense right away.
It depends on frequency, transmission line with, and bend radius. A properly mitered bend will have less parasitical and radiation than a curved bend. Due to internal inductance, the currents flow at the edges of a trace, thus when you have a curved bend, the currents in the outer radius fall out of phase with the inner. Thus is why you don’t see a lot of curved bends in microwave PCB, rather mitered bends.
A PowerMac G4 will run the latest OpenBSD. https://www.openbsd.org/macppc.html I run it on one of my iMac G4's (and on many other non-PPC machines). It occurs to me that if you replace the HDD with an SSD it would also be quite a lot faster.

If you don't want to use it, toss it on Craigslist for sure (if you have a local Craigslist site). Depending on the specs and your location I'd expect around $50-75 CAD (basing this on Vancouver Canada area and habitually searching the words "macintosh", "powermac", "powerpc" etc. literally every day :) )
> Private jets can fly at similar high subsonic speeds (0.9-0.95 mach or so) and are usually cheaper and more efficient to operate than fighter jets.

Thanks, those two items were the part I was missing. (I already assumed supersonic would be out for noise/ground damage reasons)
Note that the category of "children" in this headline appears to include some adults (people age 18 or 19). And one suspects that many (most?) of the "gun deaths" in this category were of such adults.

Also note that "leading cause" is a meaningless phrase. Depending on how finely you split the other causes, anything could be the "leading cause of death". For example, it seems that in the article "car crashes" are a separate category. If we instead had an "accidental death" category (car crashes, plus drownings, plus accidental drug overdoses, etc.) I suspect that that "accidental death" would be the leading cause.
Not a full redesign, but there are quite a few UX issues that really need to be addressed. These 2 stand out most for me:

- mobile issues: text too small, up/down vote not usable

- post text almost unreadable, it should not be lighter than comment text
This article picks up the thread at SCCS, but there have to have been version control systems before that, i.e. on System 360.
I'm now imagining being able to spawn 3d assets in VR games just by describing them, that would be wild.
Thank you so so much for all this. Thank you for sharing your story. I have much to learn. Really glad we were able to have this conversation. :)
Interesting tool. It would be even better if it recognized shifted lines, like line 12 in the original is line 16 in the present version.
At this point you're just thinking of a crappier, more expensive, electric MANPAD. It would not be trivial to make one of these that can climb to 1km and acquire a target 2-3km away at over 200km/h.

You'd be better off with a solid propellant, saclos guidance, and a fragmentation warhead.
I find reading old issues of Byte magazine from 1975 up to around 1989 to be very educational. There appears to be a complete archive herehttps://archive.org/details/Byte-Magazine-Complete.

Not really an argument against but perhaps something to consider: more and more people seem to be listening to old music instead of the latest and greatest [1], the why is difficult but it might indicate that it becomes harder and harder to find true quality through the noise, but then again art generation does make it easy for someone like me to make something pretty even though it might not be a masterpiece.

Edit: added source for the statement of old vs new music
Maybe we're not too far from a "real" Scribblenauts. Where you can write what you want to have, and AI model instantiates it with what it thinks is plausible behavior.
It's not about tact it's about tone. You can advocate incredibly cruelty if you do it with bloodless prose in a detached voice. This isn't a novel observation on here. But I have seen dang himself attack someone for pointing this out, and said they were using a slur.

That's definitely not a ban, it's not silencing either by itself. But it's a solid first step in that direction. And having moderated large groups myself I know you can effectively disallow certain positions by signaling to the rest of the community that you want them shut down.

HN's actual moderation is significantly based on this sort of "soft power" approach, where you're rarely explicitly blocked from saying something and there's no official list of verboten ideas, but you'll get this sort of distributed denouncement.

I don't know that this is actually worse than having a set list of disallowed positions or not. Different tradeoffs for sure and HN seems a lot more socially stable than most message boards over time. But on the other hand (iirc) it has a small and consistent set of mods, so it's hard to tell what's from policy and what's from their vocational aptitude.
> we're going to get serious about climate change, will that mean $10 gas? Even with electric cars, the cost will increase. Will we continue to spend a fortune on roads and other accommodations for rural life?

I've heard this take before, and I find it wild. Sure, in terms of tax revenue; cities subsidize rural areas. But cities also could not exist without rural areas. Where is food grown? Where does large manufacturing happen? Chemical processing? Mining? Oil? Solar & wind farms?

If you want to talk about sustainability; from an ecological perspective; cities are insanely unsustainable. Talk about tax revenue, service work, mind work; sure cities dominate. But the balance flips when we start talking about real, tangible economic output. And moreover, if we're talking about global warming, as you have; I think that matters. I don't think there's a reality where US leadership forgets how critical its rural economic base is to surviving the water and food wars.

I've lived in a lot of cities and rural areas. Public infra is just bad, everywhere. This isn't a situation where "oh the big cities have so much tax revenue, their streets are amazing and the wow the schools, healthcare is perfect and" nah. Its bad everywhere. You'll stumble across random counties in the middle of nowhere with hundreds of miles of the best roads you've ever driven on. You'll drive into a city of two million people and the roads look like a war happened yesterday. Its money. Its corruption. Its historical socioeconomic forces. Its a ton of different variables; density can be one, but go to any major US city and look up the best school systems. They're rarely inside the dense city; they're in that rich, less dense suburb 45 minutes outside the city. Density is correlated; but very poorly.
This is so vague that it’s impossible to meaningfully engage.

What’s a discussion that needs to be had? “Free speech” doesn’t mean freedom from people telling you you’re being juvenile, selfish or paranoid and that we’d like you to do something for the community that supports you.
Fundamentally they are same but their depth of crimes aren't same. Congress did appease minorities but it never was like 'let us kill all muslims'. Fundamentally and ideologically, congress is neither anti hindu or anti muslim. However BJP/RSS has always been ideologically against muslims. It is in their blood. It is the party of religious bigots. If you read the history of RSS, you'll find RSS was established not to fight british but to fight muslims.

There has always been riots in India. But 2 incidents - 1984 sikh massacre and 2002 gujarat genocide stand out. Why? Because these two were STATE SPONSORED. That is big point here. However, unlike BJP, Congress wasn't arch-enemy of Sikhs. After 1984, congress didn't do anything to hurt sikhs. They even kind of apologized for that. But BJP? It has always been anti-muslims (although Vajpayee wasn't pro violence) and under Modi regime, covert genocide of muslims is going on strongly.

As for Godhra, it wasn't merely against Hindus. It was against the right-wing hindu extremists who demolished Babri masjids. Subtle but important difference. Being Hindu is one thing. Being anti-muslim Hindu extremist is another.

And what happened to culprits of Godhra incident? They all are in jails. What happened to 2002 culprits? They are running the country and they have upped the game of muslim genocide. And that is why we are even having discussion here.

The extent of crimes of BJP and congress aren't same. They both are ugly but BJP is evil personified.

I am Hindu and all my family members and friends are staunch BJP supporters. And yet as Modi opponent, I feel scared. A hindu is scared of criticising Modi. That has never been the case during Congress. Even in 1975, people were able to oppose Indira Gandhi but that is unimaginable now.

And I am saying this as someone who has been hardcore member of RSS for all my life. I am now 44 yr old and I started to drift away from RSS/BJP since Modi came into scene.
Tungsten is 19.25, gold is 19.3, and osmium is 22.59 g/cm^3. Tungsten isn't quite the densest material around, but it's in the general ballpark.
This wasn't as bad as I expected. So a lot of it gets incinerated at high temperatures, where it displaces fossil fuel use? That's ok. I was afraid it was going to get dumped in the ocean off Indonesia.
If you include various information disclosure incidents, I counted 23 or so, and then a bunch where I can't recall exactly what the address was used for at some point in the past.

Adobe (twice), NetTeller (twice), Boxee, IceTv, LinkedIn (a few addresses), TheTVDB, Paypal, some old forum sites, ableton, dropbox, last.fm, plex, smartdraw, PokerTracker, PartyPoker, several other poker related sites, some shopping discount sites, various small restaurant sites and tourism email addresses, various quote aggregator websites.
In the best case, it's caused by Google truly not knowing at the time to check for such things.

I wonder if such campaigns or comparable still succeed today.

This is great! So happy to hear that it's possible to do written interviews, because that's definitely the most comfortable format for me, at least for now. And it's so much easier to execute. No visual audio set up, no editting etc. And it's all there, already transcribed.
It’s a voluntary community, with community standards. If you want a free-for-all, the internet is full of them.
I don't think it's "virtually zero risk" because there is "long Covid". Regarding myocarditis it seems important to know the prognosis, i.e. how many people quickly recover from myocarditis with apparently no long-term effects?

It's more likely that it's a similar naming to mother lode, i.e. the motherboard is the central source of the computer and everything connected to it is a child that hangs off of it.
Also: wear the nicest thing you'd wear for work to the interview, even if that's just a t-shirt (because you are a slob and proud of it). If you don't get the job as a result of your clothes, you didn't want that job.
> there are plenty of locations with very few people that might be an hour from a city like Boston. Boxborough, MA is an hour from Boston while covered in forest. I'd think of it as "suburban", but it might the rural/pastoral feel you're looking for while still being within commutable distance to everything.

This is a good bet. There are many towns in the vicinity of cities where houses are spread out and you have a rural feel, even if it’s not strictly rural. Often they are inhabited by people who can afford to move out of the city, or just want more space. On average, people are educated and have decent incomes, as opposed to many cities, where you often get extremes of poverty and wealth and an eroded middle class.

It takes a lot to get people to really care about wars fought on foreign soil. I mean, how many tried to stop the war in Iraq in 2003? And that was without the threat of fines or jail for speaking up.

I hear people say this all the time but even the “well-manicured” gardens like the neutral news subreddits suffer from the fact that Reddit as a platform is just not a proper solution for actual discussion. HN is a bit better even and only due to not showing comments karma.

It is rare (in fact I’ve never witnessed this) that I see someone on Hacker News spout paragraphs of completely inaccurate information and be rewarded with hitting the top of the page. The culture on Reddit is so bad that on more than one occasion I’ve had someone respond to me with nonsense and provide sources that don’t even mention the topic at hand. But because people see links they upvote (and once a post has a positive upvote rating inertia kicks in since people want to agree with the karma score.)

So I disagree, you can manicure rotten eggs all day and they’ll still be rotten. Reddit is rotten and it gets worse every sprint as they introduce more and more Facebook features. The problems with Reddit have only been magnified by the fact that a majority of its users today use it as an app similar to tik tok, and the company is encouraging this. Mainly because what the platform was initially designed as (a top site + forum for the whole internet) isn’t as profitable as being just another gamified and over advertised platform where people can argue about whatever the topic of the day is.
Yeah but that was for guys marching 10-20 miles per day.

I enjoyed a book called “The Binary Revolution” by Neil Barrett. It gave me a good sense of computing history from c1930 to c2000.
Oh, good point. I keep winding up on those whenever I search for python examples. Hopefully stackoverflow outweighs the bad; it also hints that the solution might be to hook dalle3D to an upvote button and let crowdsourcing do its thing.

Crowds would never upvote those spam sites to the top. But then again, fighting voting rings is hard too.

This like this are now a matter of automation and tedious scripting - you could easily integrate dall-e into a platform/sprite game builder. You could probably make a killing doing something like a minecraft skin generator...

You could do fantastic, on-device 8-bit pixel art generators with clip and so the 80s and 90s spritemaps , and a high level gpt-3/ gpt-neo dialog or adventure generator.

If you use constraints wisely, AI-Dungeon and KoboldAI can produce fantastic adventures. I'm excited about AI- augmented have development coming in the near future. Transformers tech is going to diffuse into everything creative and will amplify the quality of games.
There will be a group offended by anything.

People are wild. You can find small groups of people who do and think insane things. We as a society should not try to cater to every possible sensibility. That's a recipe for disaster.
It wouldn’t be if you regularly did it. But in emergency “work has halted” type of scenarios, you have plenty of labor standing around doing nothing already. And, they’ll take the task way more seriously than any courier would.
As an artist, Dall-E makes a pit in my stomach I can't quite explain.
Sounds like you want subreddits, I don’t. Right now HN is one community and everyone sees the same front page, if you add subreddits the community will fragment and we’ll get a lot less insight.
