One does not need to answer literally every single edge case or scenario, to answer other more obvious questions.

Elon Musk is a public figure. A random person driving a car is not. And everything in between is a spectrum, and we don't need to know the exact specific cutoff point to know the obvious answers here.
As far as I can tell, it's translated from a Czech video.

> For the record I don't think VR is ever going to see sales like the smartphone market and I don't think it needs to. And I think the "metaverse" is a silly hype bubble. But I do think it's found a healthy niche.

I was responding to a comment hyping VR and saying, "companies ignoring Metaverse now will regret it later on." I find much less to disagree with in your statement, here.

I think a lot of people in this thread, and a certain very high-up sociopath at Facebook, see a much larger future for VR than this little niche. I think VR's rather large fall from its 2016-2019 height is good evidence against that.
Piezoelectric crystals. Change in pressure causes electricity flow. They are used in piezoelectric lighters and in some microphones. Buzzers from birthday cards can work both ways, as a microphone (pressure->electricity) and as a speaker (electricity->pressure).

The language is standardized. I encourage you to write an implementation for any platform you wish, or maintain a fork of our compiler/stdlib for your platform of choice. We're not interested in it upstream, but that does not prevent the community from providing for these use-cases.
> I guess I'd want double the density of the HTC Vive Pro, and preferably even higher.

A valid opinion but I do think you should try it. I have an HTC Vive (not Pro). While the pixelation is pretty strong, I did get used to it for games. I couldn't get used to it for a high fidelity desktop screen or movies. This would be something that everyone can have a different opinion on for the same reason that everyone's eyes are different.

> Also, demos of the VD seem shaky. When I move my head, my monitor only seems to move 1 inch instead of the whole viewport shaking. This is because I'm also readjusting my eye-target.

Imagine this scenario: you move your eyes to the left or right and your computer screen is now blocking your view outside or to the person standing next to you. Or: you move your eyes to look at something on the left of the screen and instead the screen moves with your eyes so now you're looking at the center again.

Your eyes already do the tracking. Having the 3d scene move with your head and tracking would effectively double everything that moves. So I would counter-argue: it only looks shaky because you're viewing it on a screen recording instead of viewing it in 3D.
They spent 2 years at the senior level at one FAANG. Why would they switch to another for anything less than the staff (senior + 1) level?

(Not saying anyone "deserves" that or that's how it should be, but that's just how it is here in the valley.)
It would work fine for those purposes if it weren't for the confusing and unreliable order in which these tweets are rendered, and all the unrelated crap they've put everywhere in between, over top, and all around the actual content.

It's so terrible that it must have been implemented this way on purpose.

Yeah, a $1 CPM for a creator seems reasonable. Depending on the audience you're targeting, audience targeting might be less than $3, which has to pay the creator and Google.

More seriously, if Twitter becomes 4chan, won't it become as popular as 4chan? Sewers aren't popular places to hang out.
I don't know if the first one is strictly ADHD, sounds a bit more autism. Personally, I'm excellent at social cues and body language, far too much even. I'm really good at empathy, but sadly I'm very much an introvert.

Everything else is the same as me. I have unconsciously learned to use anxiety to be on time. Any time I have something major planned the next day, I can't sleep. I am anxious all day until the moment comes, and then I ease up.
If a single person is the sole bearer of incredibly critical information it's a failure of the organization to insure itself against risk and possibly a failure of the individual to properly express the amount of specialized knowledge.

I think tech companies are pretty good about this though, since the whole meme around "bus factor" is well understood and broadly discussed.
Well, yeah, if you don't use the official client, you don't necessarily see Twitter’s feed at all.
Hi HN,

I am developing this audio programming language and library in Rust (https://glicol.org) and I have just made it an NPM package as many people need an easy-to-use yet powerful enough audio library for their web music apps. I believe Glicol.js can offer the ceiling-level audio performance in browsers given its current technology stack while providing the most developer-friendly declarative experience.

Yet there is still some distance to go for effects and APIs. I am really keen to listen to your feedback, especially on the use case of this audio library. For example, do you have any music app ideas in your mind? I am happy to discuss it here or on GitHub:

Nope, you don't see those while using nitter.net, an alternative Twitter front end. You only see the tweets, and you don't even have to be forced to login to see them.

Cars of today already have this problem. If one sensor says there's a solid object right in front of you that just popped out, and another sensor says there probably isn't but is confused, what do you do? Slam on the brakes?

Teslas today have this "degraded mode" and the reaction is to sound an alarm and ask the driver to pay attention and grip the wheel, while slowing. This seems like a reasonable thing to do. Cars of 2035 that have no wheel better have perfect sensor integration and false-data elimination.
I don't really think remote work will end up in any meaningful rural revitalization. The main urban->other migration I've seen from remote work in my peer group (USA) has been from urban large urban area->smaller urban area or urban area->suburban area. If that holds, we'll have more large cities and bigger suburbs, but I don't know that it helps rural areas at all. I think many people want to be around other people, and if you remove them from other people most of the day (with remote work), they'll want to see people even more after work. Urban/suburban areas are better for this
But I'm disagreeing with what you actually wrote which has nothing to do with who you were replying to.

Please avoid hyperbole. There's no need to overstate a sound argument.
I like c++ but it feels maddening to learn. There was a time when I would tell people to learn C++ but now I tell them to start with C and work their way up because if the choice is between C and C++, C has become the more readable language somehow if you don't know what abstract classes, templates, and functional constructs are....even a bubble sort in C++ takes some explaining in terms of just the syntax sugar.

GO and rust are great languages and I hope they go the distance and learn some of the lessons from C and especially C++
They didn't ban the taliban leaders accounts when they took over Kabul either. And trust me, they were fully open about who they were.
A lot of these studies use measures for, let's say, memory that are very general that mix multiple memory processes,depending on more distributed brain networks. Some types of memory tests are known to be especially hippocampal dependent, and thus larger effect sizes can be observed (e.g. requiring association between objects, and without the use of mnemonic strategies.)
Is this the right place for me to raise my gripe about reddit's new approach to user bans? As of the most recent changes, once User A bans user B, B cannot reply to any comment replying to any thread or subthread originating from User A. So if User A is OP of a crowded post on the front page of a sub, User B can't reply to any comment that itself replies to the OP. This means that in the case of subreddits like /r/virtualreality (as one example), the conspiracy theorists who post hypernegative meme takes about facebook are gradually oversaturating the front page by simply banning every user who calls them out for acting like a wackjob in the comments.

It puts a lot more burden for content moderation on the sub mods, since the community doesn't have as much ability to voice disagreement in replies (once a resident troll bans enough dissenting repliers, the only people who can reply are the remaining community minority that agree). It's also hard for the mods to detect, since they don't get any visibility to the ban system from their side. I would be hesitant to take advice on how to manage a social media communication platform at scale from anyone presiding over recent decisions at Reddit, since they seem to have equipped the most toxic users with the tools to pseudo-organically poison the well for open discussion.
Hard disagree. Linux is by far the largest majority of server deployments, and you are not doing yourself any favors by not developing on the same platform as your deploy target.
Is it too Web 2.0 of me to wish that the writer had added some before and after images?

It's punishing to have to reading through a post where the text spans the viewport width. It's like he took motherfuckingwebsite.com to heart, instead of the bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com which actually prioritized readability.
Seconded yeah, thanks for the tip! How had I not heard of this?
Cute projection, but neither me nor GP mentioned anything about concern.
My personal "anecdote is not data" has been that I was censured for arguing that opposing covid safety measures shows how American conservatism is post-truth, and delta's hospitalization rates showed the cost of that attitude. Repeatedly getting in arguments on this subject got me censored. It's his site, it's his prerogative.

However, I see similar commentary of "anybody who supports inclusive language is just giving stupid prizes to weenies" or something like that. This, by contrast, is fine.

It may be just that dang disagreed with my tone, or never saw the latter, or just thinks this is "my bias", or simply the large number of comments posted (which is kind of a natural effect of being heavily opposed -- agreement with the consensus on this site is intrinsically quieter than disagreement). I don't know.

Either way, their site, their prerogative. Either way, I'm trying not to get into politics on this site anymore.
>He led an insurrection against the current government and called for violence many times

A case which of course not only has twitter been unable to make, but which his opposition party has also been unable to make as well.

I would ask you to link me to the places where he is calling for an "insurrection" (and not a protest), but conveniently the account has been removed, making it much more difficult to do.
I do believe he is not doing it for the money. He's already the richest man in the world. He doesn't care about material goods, he owns no houses, no yachts, the only luxury item he has is a private jet but that's to save time (and work more).

For clarification. I marked the edited part, and I think it honestly reflects the article's content.
Most people aren't actively violating a contract in meat space. This isn't about people doing 2 real jobs. This is about people doing 0.25x at 2+ jobs. They are lying and screwing over team members who have to pick up the slack and deal with their BS.

They're not fighting the man, they're the person who shows up on the last day of class and slaps their name on the group project. These aren't a new class of individual arising from the pandemic or remote work, it's a situation which is emboldening pre-existing bad behavior.

Firing is a pain in most orgs. Telling other employers that this employee behaved like this is illegal, so they keep doing this in more places. It's plain old theft and disrespect for team members.
I don't understand why investors don't ask for numbers that exclude bots. Or maybe they do, and we just don't hear about it? This isn't some unknown problem, right? Bots have been around forever and they are a problem in many platforms, not just Twitter-like platforms.

Lab leak was a conspiracy _theory_ a year ago. Today it's _very_ much a serious contender for the source.

If people are _crazy_ and blocked or censored for theorizing about conspiracy, then conspiracies will happen.

The best solution to bad speech is more good speech.
I mentioned in another post, and as someone else also mentioned, that it would hypothetically work well if you kept the sizes at multiples. Ie i wouldn't want to break the grid and break alignment, so vertically a smaller font size would go in multiples, such that each downward increment of font would be half the size.

Makes it a bit more complex though if the block sizes make subdivision like this difficult, though. This isn't an idea for an implementation necessarily, rather just an idea to illustrate my request. I want to have larger font size than my gutters/etc in my term editors.
It's an interesting technique that you can see used in books for young adults, they leave the protagonist fairly blank in many regards so that you can essentially paint yourself in there, or fill in the blanks with what you wish was there.

It probably explains why he attracts the type of people he does and why he has the sort of following he does.
I think you may be referring to the Roseto effect. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roseto_effect

This community had unusually low rates of heart disease despite a large range of traditional risk factors. The general consensus was that this was due to the community-oriented nature of the town. Later they did follow-ups and found that as the town became more stereotypically "American" the mortality rates due to heart disease increased, especially among younger men.

Disinformation about the global pandemic? How do we know if it’s disinformation if it can’t even be debated? It’s a fact that vaccines can cause injury. It’s a fact that there is a risk of myocarditis. But you can’t talk about that.

Why was Robert Malone kicked off? Isn’t his opinion more valuable than some random news personality when it comes to Covid? Literally banning a scientist who helped invent the very tech he is discussing. If he’s wrong, that’s fine, but it isn’t about facts — even the debate is banned.
Something Awful ended pretty awfully, at least for the founder.
Not by default though and this is terrible UX. Everyone who claims that they have a good feed also makes a point of stating something like 'you need to curate your feed'. It takes active intervention to prevent the app from disintegrating into a toxic maelstrom - this is a serious problem. And sometimes it is hard to unfollow people you are close with in person but are obnoxious online (it can be awkward). The app's default behavior is not the responsibility of the users, it belongs to the company.
This died mostly because the defaults were so terrible.
Donald trump had a large amount of followers and did not threaten violence beyond his role as us commander in chief, much like his predecessors and successors have.
Unfortunately, people don't make websites anymore, corporations do.

They're never going to go Web 1.0 unless it's a special landing page for some marketing effort they're doing, and will be replaced with the bland corporate design as soon as the campaign is over.
This is actually pretty common. Won’t be long before we see another HN post about someone getting banned from a platform with no idea why and no recourse forward.

Actually similar happened to me recently. I woke up to find my PayPal account close and no one can tell me why.
It's hard to tell whether you're being serious....

A single tweet is so incredibly bloated and inefficient for transmission through space, that it would not have any chance of arriving uncorrupted on the other side.

"If you open that tweet in a browser, you'll see the page is 900 KB big.
That's almost 100 KB more than the full text of The Master and Margarita, Bulgakov’s funny and enigmatic novel about the Devil visiting Moscow with his retinue (complete with a giant cat!) during the Great Purge of 1937, intercut with an odd vision of the life of Pontius Pilate, Jesus Christ, and the devoted but unreliable apostle Matthew.

For a single tweet."

> i.e. this is clearly a form of advertising.

Which in this particular instance (i.e. the military and the business of killing other people) can be called propaganda without a second thought about it. Someone linked to a Smarter Every Day YT video above which was filmed on a board of a US nuclear submarine, that was also blatant propaganda.
brilliant and i gave you a twitter follow.
I presume you weren’t around when most of the posters here were clamoring for the same measures that are now failing in Shanghai?

‘Just 15 days to stop the spread!’

‘The lockdowns should be stricter, look at how well it works in China!’

‘If you are against lockdowns, you’re killing grandma and you should be locked up!’
> it seems like only BZip2 parallelizes nicely

Which is really unfortunate, because bzip2 is not a very good compressor otherwise. It outperforms gzip on compression ratio, but is beat out by anything modern, and is extremely slow, even when parallelized.

A lot of modern compressors can be made parallelizable (and, as a bonus seekable!) by breaking the input/output into chunks and compressing each chunk independently. This loses a bit of compression efficiency, but surprisingly little for sufficiently large blocks.

(This isn't what pigz does, by the way. pigz keeps state between each compressed block, which prevents parallel decoding.)

> For plain old zip this is excusable

Do you mean gzip? PKZIP decompression is actually somewhat parallelizable, because each file is compressed independently of the other files in the archive -- I'm not sure anyone actually does this, though.
I publish as much as I can, and deliberately so. Not so much for internet points but because:

1. It forces me to write a README. No matter how small the project, I afford it an introductory paragraph, installation instructions, usage instructions, and a license. Doing that all the time helps build good habits. If it hurts, I’m not doing it often enough. Doing it often enough helps overcome resistance one day when it actually counts.

2. I contribute something back. It’s not exactly curl, but who am I to judge whether my project will be too trivial to be useful for others? I prefer to leave that decision up to the visitor.

3. Future me is going to get a README for free a couple of years down the road, when the details are long forgotten.

Example: this repository [1] is for a 50-line Bash script [2].

I use Tweetbot after trying Twitterrific for awhile. My only complaint is that sometimes a thread won't work in Tweetbot, and I'll have to open it in the website. If I had to use the website, or the official Twitter client, I'd stop using Twitter completely.
Why is Twitters position on what type of content it allows a ‘problem’ given it’s a private company? The companies that run social media can legally censor and remove publicly, and privately, posted content. They can also ban, suspend, or limit users, for pretty much any reason.

Have we become so delusional that we can’t recognize this simple fact?
> as I understand it, the reason Node packages are so small is to make it efficient to run them in browsers

Usage of npm packages in browsers is kind of an after thought, as originally people used a separate dependency management for the browser (bower js)

The NPM ecosystem has a huge focus on reusability of libraries, smaller packages is just an emerging phenomenon when reusability is the goal.

Also, small packages are a way to embrace the Unix philosophy, "do one thing and do it well"

But yes, smaller packages create large dependency chains and a greater attack surface...
Yup, I'm pretty sure you just checked
