> A lot of guys don't make it through their rookie contract.

My dad had a friend who was a Dallas Cowboy for... a few months. He spent all of summer training and the preseason partying and goofing off thinking he had it made for life. They ended up giving him the boot before the first regular season game. Somehow I have a feeling his "career" wasn't entirely uncommon.

By the time I met him, he was a children's exercise coach at a local rec center.
I have read the article, and I’m still not sure what your point was. Are you claiming that I’m part of “the mob”?

My comment had nothing to do with ABG, or them wanting whatever is in their contract. It was commenting on that fact that I, not apparently the parent commenter, has ever actually seen the Bolt product in the wild. That’s weird for something apparently valued at 250x their ARR.

Regarding ABG’s claim to a 5% stake, you can’t comment on what that means without knowing the terms that apply.
People mostly say this kind of thing about points they agree with. Otherwise it's pretty easy to see that the putdown/swipe stuff is cheap and gratuitous. Maybe in other environments it works better, but on the open internet it's just low-quality noise, and a post can basically always be improved by editing it out. This is one thing the original HN guidelines really got right.

Sure I get this in principle but if you keep rebooting something can you instigate errors that are very unlikely to normally occur, by increasing the probability? Feels like you're going to trip an edge case maybe even lower in the hardware stack than your software if you do this so often.
Pardon my ignorance, I'm slightly technically challenged. But isn't this something similar to ceph cluster or maybe HAMMER2 with an explorer/fileman utility wrapped around it?
No, it's gross and cringe. I'll never use that word.

"The legislative branch, many of who see taking on the "intelligence community" as something for which they would get branded as non-patriotic?"

I've never gotten the impression that Americans have very much love for the intelligence community. The military, yes, the intelligence community, no.

Congress has slapped the intelligence committee before (in the aftermath of the Church Committee[1]).

It's just that post-9/11 the powers of America's intelligence agencies were tremendously increased and they were given a much longer leash.

Now that 9/11 is more than 20 years in the past they might get slapped again, but it'll probably take a bigger scandal than Snowden's revelations to do it.. and such a scandal has to happen in peace time if it's to have any effect.

This looks like an accident. Even many of the suspicious sites that do it seem to be an accidental side effect. The ones that annoy me the most are the news articles that trigger a history event on scroll. I think they do it as part of a tracking mechanism to detect scroll position, but the result is you have to press back twice to leave. I can't see the benefit, not like anyone is going to press back then say, "oh i guess i can't leave so I'll click an ad".
In standard mathematics there is no such thing as an infinitely small number. All nonzero standard real numbers have some finite separation from zero.

The difference between 0.9 recurring and 1 would have to be infinitely small, as you note. So if it's a number, it can only be zero. It can't be any nonzero number because none of them are infinitely small.

You may not like it intuitively, but this way of thinking is perfectly rigorous and logical and works very well for all practical calculations. Admitting infinitely small numbers makes math way more complicated (nonstandard analysis) and under the hood it ultimately falls back on the standard model anyway.
My main source of inspiration was https://charm.sh

They built an incredible demo `ssh git.charm.sh` and it had my mind spinning with the possibilities.

I noticed they had an `scp` example (https://github.com/charmbracelet/wish/tree/main/scp) that I ended up repurposing for lists.sh.

I think SSH apps have a ton of potential for people that live in the terminal so I couldn’t wait to try the tech out.

I think I'd prefer a website that is decentralized by being hosted in multiple places, but still a single instance. No single entity would control it, but everyone would go to a single location to view it.
I don't think it's reasonable to expect some kid to sit through their algebra class, and then go home and take a self-directed calculus class at home. Certainly only the kids who are hyper-math-ers are going to do that in the first place, and we miss out on the kids who would have taken calc had it simply been offered.

Highschoolers fork over swaths of their day to the public education system already. Let's try to not waste any more of their time.
Oral History of Steve Naroff
Most colleges I'm aware of these days have a completely softball core math/science requirement. "Rocks for jocks" and that kind of thing. Whether it's a waste of time or not, I don't think it really impedes the serious math learners.

I think you are right that we need more flexibility on the high school level though, at least for juniors/seniors that have safely passed the earlier requirements. I like that we have a chance to dabble in various subjects in college here before committing to something, but it would be a lot more efficient if some of that could be done in late high school.

Valve made a documentary about pro DOTA 2 players a whopping 8 years ago (it doesn't seem that long ago at all). I bring it up because I remember at some point they mention that your reaction time drastically starts to decrease around the late 20's or so. I'd imagine that may also have something to do with it for fast-paced games at least.

Here's the documentary (it's kind of more of a commercial but it's still pretty good if you're interested in esports)

Yeah, thus my mention of lacking a modern-enough GPU to drive them.

Thanks for a very clear and direct source for the bandwidth, I was under the impression HDMI 2.1 would not require DSC for 8k at 60Hz but never paid attention to the actual numbers.

DP 2.0 is what I need to wait for then :) What was the bandwidth it promises? 77Gbps, should work.

Then again, I feel like eGPUs are the way forward for this, as you can keep the GPU close to the screen, and your computer would talk a "semantically compressed" (or rather terser) language to the display output (eg. talk OpenGL to your display).
Prompt "My favourite dad joke:"

- My favourite dad joke: “If you’ve seen one cow, you’ve seen them all.” (Don’t ask, it’s been a long day) <-- the parenthetical was generated, hah

- My favourite dad joke: ‘So you’re going to give up a child for another woman, and call the father a pervert’

- My favourite dad joke: [A man] gets sick on his trip overseas and is too afraid to go to the hospital to receive medical care. The doctor sees that he is very sick and very close to death and tells him that if he does not immediately go to the hospital he will die. The man gets up and leaves. When he arrives at the hospital he dies. The doctor then calls the man's son, and tells him that his father arrived too late and died. 'That's a funny joke,' the son replies. The doctor then asks, 'What do you mean?' 'Well,' says the son, 'if you had told my dad about his condition when he got to the hospital, he would have lived.'

This one was too insane so I posted the entire thing

- My favourite dad joke: “He’s not a man, he’s a mouse.”

The latest addition to the ever expanding list of dad jokes which have been immortalised through the ages is one from the BBC’s famous radio presenter, John Humphrys:

“A man bought his son a mouse. He put it in a box and took it to his son’s birthday party.

“He opens the box at the party. The box is full of mice. He opens the top of the box. All the mice start flying out.

“His son says: “You never took me anywhere before.”

As usual, I have an issue with this kind of thing.

Firstly, the thing about dad jokes.

They are in essence a cruel and cruel mockery of men and of the fact that the entire existence of man is to provide sustenance for his child. It says something ugly

If Snowden's and Greenwald's twitter accounts during the lead up (and since) to Russia's invasion of Ukraine hasn't answered that question for you, what proof could possibly exist that would convince you that they're puppets for Putin?
I rather prefer the first paragraph to be a problem statement and the second paragraph explain the change in detail. This gives the rationale upfront as the focus and helps to understand the problem and check whether the problem/goal was fully understood when making this change and whether the change actually covers what it should achieve. Overall, the change was/is just a mean to an end and other variations are possible.
Considering the amount professional sports spends per player, yeah, it is.

The average cost of a Legacy deck is $4000. And that's a one-time expense. After that, the on-going costs: sleeves, entry fees, travel, etc aren't horrible.

But plenty of poor people play Magic. More poor people than affluent people. Plenty of people make poor financial decisions. Like buying boosters instead of singles to get cards for decks. Like trying to make playing Magic a career instead of anything else.
I don't think he's talking about this debate, just that the Equitable Math extremists have some common ground with e.g. southern conservatives in how they view educational achievements.

The WaPo article seems to imply that is not true.

Also, in Formula 1 reflexes, hand-eye coordination, reaction time, etc. are all extremely important.

Despite that, a driver will typically be at their peak in their early-mid 30s.
Each time an exodus happens in reality the users 'said' they would leave only come back after a few months. Mastodon did not gain significant retaining users after #deleteFacebook, #deleteInstagram and #leavingTwitter trended.

It is not "early days" and anything compared to being 'A viable Twitter alternative' other than Facebook and Instagram has only shown themselves to be a complete failure. Just like how Gab (another alternative) with roughly the same number of active and registered users as Mastodon also failed to be a viable Twitter alternative since that has instead turned into another echo chamber but including the undesirables putting off many users on Twitter from moving.

Mastodon as far positioning itself as being 'A viable Twitter alternative' after 6 years of existence has failed to gain any significant amount of former Twitter users or traction. After 6 years, it isn't early days.
>For the first and only time in my life I became political. Days and nights would pass with me monitoring the Senate on farcaster cable or lying tapped into the All Thing. Someone once estimated that the All Thing deals with about a hundred active pieces of Hegemony legislation per day, and during my months spent screwed into the sensorium I missed none of them. My voice and name became well known on the debate channels. No bill was too small, no issue too simple or too complex for my input. The simple act of voting every few minutes gave me a false sense of having accomplished something. I finally gave up the political obsession only after I realized that accessing the All Thing regularly meant either staying home or turning into a walking zombie. A person constantly busy accessing on his implants makes a pitiful sight in public and it didn’t take Helenda’s derision to make me realize that if I stayed home I would turn into an All Thing sponge like so many millions of other slugs around the Web. So I gave up politics.

It's funny how something like Zig's comptime of C++'s constexpr get 90% of the way to solving most compile time issues, but can't knock out that last 10%. Compile time database types sound like one of those cases. F# had a feature for compile time types via "type providers". It seemed _really_ cool at first, but in practice is was a bit fragile.

Though on the other hand I'm using compile Nim code to parse CMake files and provide static types for configuration values. It's super easy in Nim between macros and const's. Here's a ~170 lines of code where I'm compile time checking that my Nim code can compile time check against the current build configuration of Zephyr RTOS https://github.com/EmbeddedNim/nephyr/blob/main/src/zephyr_c...
Seems odd to have an article about age and Esports that mentions Tokido, aged 36, but not Daigo ‘The Beast’ Umehara, aged 40, who has been crushing Street Fighter variants for (almost) decades, including returning to dominance after a brief retirement to play mahjong. I just couldn’t miss an relevant opportunity to plug my favorite gamer - he is a blast to watch live and has loads of content on Youtube.

0.999... is as much an approximation to 1 as 0.333... is to 1/3. That is, not at all, since we use these representations to stand in for the rational number that is their limit. You will find that exactly the numbers that can be represented exactly in finite digits (a.k.a. ending in 000...) have two representations.
Oh Haskell is amazing -- maybe it wasn't clear but I think Haskell is the best programming language I've ever used.

Haskell is what people think Java was supposed to be like/going to be -- the type system is expressive, the runtime system is amazing, it's got a bunch of mature libraries in the ecosystem, the performance is within spitting distance of Java if not better, consumes less memory, etc.

Even amongst research/ML languages Haskell isn't far behind. It's been a while since I've looked but Idris is basically Haskell + dependent types.

Haskell is the Mercedes of PL (especially if you're referring to the subset of practially-used PL).

I want to be clear that once I tried Haskell it became impossible for me to consider not having a similar type system again. It even soured me off of Go -- a simple nonfeature like having nullable types just ruins entire languages for me now.
> Games aren't cyclical. The money from some games has dried up, but the top competitive games are the same every year.

Zooming out, LoL was released in 2009; soccer was "released" maybe around 1848, not counting similar games throughout history [1]. I find it hard to believe that any of the listed games will remain dominant for very long relatively speaking, just by the fact that they are software products of the moment. People don't think of "soccer" as a product whatsoever; this changes the economics of going pro.

My entire family, most of my friends... I hardly ever get a regular SMS, usually it's spam or a company message.

Granted I did a little bit of work to convince them, but "you can use it on your computer and do video calls with your phone number" was good enough, even if vaguely inaccurate. It's much more functional than SMS.

But that's also in the US, I think other apps are more popular plenty of places which are just as much better than SMS anyway. Signal I think has good adoption in the US because the competitor was so terrible.

Russia wants access to some of the best farmland in the former USSR, mineral resources and the strategic benefit of unfettered access to the Black Sea and the Mediterranean? It's a war for resources Russia doesn't have and Putin thinks it needs, and a target for the Russian population to distract them from how shit things are.

Populists and authoritarians are supported by those at the bottom of the pile with little to lose. Russia's actions are very much related to food and housing and education and jobs.
Those are exceptions. Even the most dedicated devs cannot control the wider market or gamer interest. While they can build and cater to communities people will inevitably leave or age out.

And markets are getting crowded. Select older brands have some nostalgia factor propping them up too.

It’s been a while since I followed eSports (League of Legends in 2011-2014?), but all the US and EU players (after getting kicked in the butt by Asian teams who already did it like that) got people that made sure their players would have healthy lifestyles, eating properly, getting enough exercise etc.

> I prefer Github's method of "git commit messages don't matter, pull requests do".

By doing that, you lock yourself into relying on Github in order to get the context behind a change rather than looking at the commit messages for a particular branch. That means, you cannot easily get that information just using git on the command line. On the other hand, if you put the context in a series of well formatted commit messages, you can get that context by reading through the commit log, either on the command line, or in Github by clicking on each commit.

> 1. Make it so the only merge strategy allowed on a repo is "Squash and Merge", so each PR = 1 commit in main branch

This leads to very large commits which cannot easily be reverted once any other commits that update the same files are added to the base branch. Also, in this case, the merge commits are essentially redundant, so why have them? There's nothing that prevents one from amending their commit to reference the PR number and eliminate the merge commit entirely.

> It's easier to be more expressive in a pull request, and intermediate changes while working on a PR aren't super interesting to me.

It really comes down to how those changes are presented. For example, if the change is one commit that adds a new method, and a second commit that adds calls to that method, that makes the change easier to review. Also, if a bug is found in the method, you can make a revert commit to remove all the calls to the new method, another commit to demonstrate the bug with one or more tests, another commit to fix the bug and update the tests to reflect that the fix works as expected.

If the commit was just a single PR commit, and another PR was merged, then one would have to craft a commit to undo the changes pertaining to that bug and then make a new commit in another PR to add the updated implementation. This makes it harder to see what the fix was since you essentially remove the entire feature and then commit a new version of that feature.
After having been reminded of Mastodon and the fediverse's existence, I decided to try setting up a server to go along with the rest of my self-hosted services. But kind of turned off from it all now, first tried using the Mastodon implementation, then Pleroma. Former was a complete non-starter behind a reverse proxy, way too heavy and not too useful documentation wise, latter at least worked enough to log in, but ran into some strange federation issue. In the end just nuked it all out of frustration.

I used to think that setting up matrix-synapse was unfriendly to users, but it's way friendlier than either of these.
From my experience, the best way to get good marks in a non-STEM degree is to repeat back to your professors/tutors what they say. Trying to expound your own ideas is often a fool's errand.
I think that in almost all cases trying to build an esports career (as a player, coach, analyst, or commentator) is a poor decision; the competition is unreal, the payoff is low, the overall landscape is unpredictable, burnout is absurdly common, and exit strategies are virtually non-existent. The only time I would encourage someone's esports aspirations is if they have a decent chance of establishing themselves and if they are so passionate that they can't see themselves doing anything else.

Security issues can occur in both the device-agnostic Android OS code and in device-specific drivers. Some people are going to continue to use phones after the vendor drops support. Although those people won't get security updates to their device-specific drivers anymore no matter what they do, by using LineageOS instead of their stock ROM, they will get security updates to the device-agnostic Android OS code.
