TIL: DCC still exists!

(I have fond memories of using mIRC, at my summer job at the local ISP, blatantly abusing our control of the bandwidth to download a gargantuan file, a copy of a movie that just came out called "The Matrix". Good times.)

So...it only works for 99% of the population?
Surely it won't be long until a chinese firm whose executives have no plans of ever visiting the US steps up.
I got the Oakcastle color MP3 player for my birthday last year. I had an AGPTek I think, before that. I like them. AGPTek is a good brand in my experience.

I do try to pay a bit higher than the baseline $20 USD range to get a better quality player, and sort by newest-to-market first, to get fresher batteries & firmware.

For walking or hiking the ones with buttons and clips are really great. They are very easy to use without looking at the screen. Mine do support .m3u playlists and have built-in playlist systems as well. You can shuffle files or shuffle playlist entries.

The FM radio features are also usually really convenient if you have wired headphones and any good stations or scheduled programming near where you live.

(I also have a ton of songs on my phone's card and I use Musicolet for that, which is great, but completely different in terms of experience, and I prefer not to walk or hike while holding my phone)
I mean... I don't play a lot of online stuff, but the switch games I've played are pretty terrible. Matchmaking for Tetris 99 takes forever (Mario 99 was slow too). Trying to play Splatoon 2 online with a friend works great if one friend was already playing, then the other friend can queue up to be in their group for the next round. But if two people want to start at the same time, good luck. Especially if one or both are younger children and don't have the patience or perserverance to hit the right buttons every time.

I'm pretty sure forming a group and then finding a match was possible 10+ years ago.

Of course, that doesn't mean the average consumer cares. I'm not even sure I care that much (I'd pay for the online service and play more Tetris 99 if matchmaking was faster though... I don't like sitting around waiting to play, so I do other things instead)
> How are the traits spreading across the entire population in that 1000 years enough to make the "large difference" instead of being averaged out again?

Mating isn’t random. People are more likely to mate with those who live near them. So Southern Chinese are more like each other than Northern Chinese. Geography matters. Distance matters. If there’s reproductive isolation difference can emerge and persist. If there isn’t it won’t.

Geography isn’t the only way populations stay distinct. Religion, language, means of sustenance can do it too but interbreeding can reduce difference very, very quickly as you note.
Knowing what we know now, wouldn't follow-up services leave a paper trail for the civil suits?

Physicists pin down how quantum uncertainty sharpens measurements
Because it was implemented via inheritance. Which is why the argument is BS, nobody does react like this. They specifically tell you not to do it, and I think there's a bunch of stuff in there to stop it from working.
Agreed, there is no limit to human selfishness and entitlement.
I think the person you are responding to knows the CDC has done studies about gun violence, but does not believe the CDC has any authority to actually do them.
Not sure where the "sued into oblivion" justification comes from. Most drugs have side effects, including mental ones. Providers aren't getting sued as long as they disclose them up front. Especially considering you need a prescription in the first place.
This simply isn't true. Tagged template literals are not string concatenation. Also any "thin layer" of tooling on top of vanilla web components (like Lit) is entirely capable of passing complex objects as props. String-only "props" are only the case for literal HTML attributes in your source HTML—and even then you can embed JSON in an attribute and get a real parsed object within the component.
Is an elevation of NAD levels desirable? (Why?)
Does this ruling have teeth? It seems like this particular judge thinks she can unilaterally order every ISP in America to act, but does she really have that authority?
The only advantage this seems to have over reflective LCD is even lower power consumption, zero if it’s a static image without backlight, but probably with a lot of disadvantages.

> On whose shoulders does the lack of a good education about labour rights lie on?

Doesn't matter. You only have control over one person: You.

> Allowing big powerful corporations to beat up young individuals doesn't benefit society, it entrenches power which tends to lead to corruption.

No, it really doesn't, but do you have any control over that?

> The example you're offering is working for a year at Amazon and tightening your belt a little - a large portion of Americans make just enough money so that they can fall deeper into debt each year while slowly.

That occurs precisely because "a large portion of Americans" buy McMansions they cannot afford, have families they cannot afford, and otherwise spend well beyond their means. They're trying to have the life their parents and grandparents had and they're trying to have it immediately even though economic conditions do not support that. In short: They made bad decisions.

> I, unlike you, worked for a bit at a video game company and also had to tighten my belt... and I managed to save maybe 13k while not drinking or partying or indulging in any luxuries.

Only? Did you live on your own or with your parents or roommates? Did you have a car or did you use public transportation? And how long is "a bit"?

> Your experience was extremely lucky.

Luck had nothing to do with it. I don't have a wife and kids. I don't own my own home. I sacrificed having that immediately in order to get ahead. Now that things are beginning to work out for me I can explore the possibility of having a family. That wasn't luck... that was planning.

bash has an "audit" function which is normally compiled out.

Are there a lot other TTRPGs that have some software required to run them? Also this sounds like it would be fun to play based on these examples in the rules:

> Example 3:
Brody declares his character's intent: "I want Wasp to display her stripes and scare
the living beejeesus out of the Worker Bees! I want her to dive in towards them,
buzzing menacingly and waving her abdomen around in, like, a threatening and
provocative manner! I want them to run away screaming from buzzing, venomous DEATH!
BzzZZZzzZZZZzz!"

> Example 4:
Cody negotiates with the GQ: "But Wasp is Venomous so she can display her Stinger and
maximise the intimidation of the Minor Termite Soldiers".

I wonder what the origin of the fd100 system is. I haven't heard of it before.
Shell commands can be written as a list

A series of individual invocations of arcane commands; sometimes with pipes

Though it is not uncommon for one-liners to exist (sometimes with sub-shells). In that case the semicolons are not optional. Even in cases where another type of escape is used to visually break up the one liner into a list like series of commands which happen to be run concurrently; most frequently for really long pipe-sets.
The rule is just that it's not a crime to leave a child in that location. It doesn't legally affect parental responsibility or anything else outside of criminal law.

I'm 100% in favour of unrestricted abortions up to birth. Bodily autonomy doesn't have a time-limit and it doesn't suddenly become okay for another person to decide what someone can do with their body just because they waited past a particular deadline.

Honestly, I think it is a function of being large and a bit odd-looking. Some big pallid dude walking the neighborhood just sets off something on the cop-dar.
Yes you are right. I meant DNSCRYPT.
Yeah because that has zero psychological implications and always goes well. How about letting the person doing the work decide.
Not every project needs to use protobuf or openapi. It's an overkill dependency for internal APIs to solve the problem of mismatching interfaces that's easily solved with a shared Typescript file used by both codebases.

"IMHO" and "objectively" are in fairly stark opposition.
> It's not even about not willing to spend 1$ for a random phone number.

Some sites (e.g. Scaleway.com) won't accept VOIP numbers: they require numbers from actual mobile networks. That is a pain for me since my main phone# is a VOIP number that forwards to my mobile. I do that so I can change my mobile number and just update the forwarding target, or can forward to a landline if I'm someplace with a lousy mobile signal, etc. All of this sucks.
I was playing golf on Sunday and a player in a nearby group made a hole-in-one. Everyone at the course got a free drink that day. I later found out that the club had insurance. Funny to see this on the HN front page a couple of days later.
The Win32 API is defined in terms of C functions. Not sure about Win64. At best C# is the scripting language for .NET libraries like WinForms.
Whenever I see a bike in a car I assume the person has a lot of free time and therefore is somehow what well-off. Perhaps people were subconsciously judging his wealth?
The modern tulip bubble, but 1000x worse. I cannot wait for crypto-everything to die.
Does this work with large semi-transparent objects? (My 10-year-old experience with 2D game engines was that 10k objects wasn't really a problem, unless you were trying to make clouds or fog from ~200x100px sized, half-transparent images. Have a 100 of those, and you'd run at 5 FPS.)
If a study came out showing the sky was purple, would you believe it or would you look out the window?
9% predictive? This seems very low.

I hope folks who actually have dogs pay a LOT more attention to what their dogs breed is and what it needs. Some dogs, based on their breed, need a ton of outside time. Some do not handle being on their own very well and need to be with people or other dogs. Some become very protective and can become dangerous in various ways.

PLEASE do not believe this can be ignored.

Did they even talk to anyone working with dogs?
What a beautiful story, thanks for sharing!
Yeah, that was a quirk fixed by let. No reason to use var anymore.
The Tuskegee Experiment ended 50 years ago. One would have to have had a rather long career to have been employed at the CDC both then and now.
> Why are you making this personal?

Why are you avoiding responsibility? You don't control the world. You only control yourself. Change the things you can change.

> That's a very cruel way to look at the situation, when many new adults have zero negotiating experience.

Almost no adults have any negotiating experience. That doesn't change anything. You're still responsible for your own actions. You will make mistakes. You will fail. You're still expected to get up and try again.

> Yes, they do. Not getting that education, as a child, is not a poor life choice!

...but refusing to seek it out as an adult is. I didn't have someone to teach me these things. I learned them the hard way like everyone else.

> It's not a high schooler's fault to not get a good education there, and it doesn't suddenly become your fault the day you turn 18.

Actually, yes, that's exactly what it means. As an adult you are responsible for your own condition. No one else owes you anything.

> You can expect someone to learn these things after some years in the workforce. Before that it's all the more important for society to keep things in line and prevent abuses.

...which isn't going to happen. OTOH, individuals can learn how to adapt to the way things are and make things better for themselves. I find it interesting that teaching people how to take advantage of the present system and better themselves is viewed as "making this personal" and somehow a bad thing, whereas complaining and accomplishing nothing is not.

It seems it is an anti aging treatment and may help reduce aging related diseases.
And jQuery is still used in lots of places without any problems AFAIK.

Even if the React development team would stop the framework will for sure be around for a couple more years and receive at least security patches.
in my experience the tetris matchmaking takes like 30 seconds to start a new match. doesnt feel any noticeably slower than the time between COD matches or something on xbox
So if I say Boku no Hero Academia they'll think in English "My Hero Academia?" If so that's interesting, I thought they'd use their own native Japanese names for their own media.
I agree, the alternative is not ideal either but there are serious consequences either way and so ensuring that both needs are met should be a priority.
> without implementing a significant chunk of the frameworks

In my experience, it hasn't seemed all that significant. These frameworks are absurdly general and cover a range of use cases and deployment methods that most people don't use. I just need the kitchen sink, not everything else.

So far, just using custom elements and a small wrapper around the <template> element, I've not been struggling to create the features I need or would otherwise miss.
This is just wrong- it is completely and utterly wrong. "No significant career advancement" yet my career has progressed pretty damn well, as have my colleagues.
The connection to the constitution was a lot more clear in the case of interracial or gay marriage than that of Roe.

for Roe it took the the 14th amendment:

No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

This was intepreteted it to say this means abortion bans are OK in the 1st trimester, conditional in the 2nd, and prohibited in the 3rd trimester.

Loving took this and said that means interracial partners and gays get equal legal treatment to everyone else.
Add nausea to the list of chronic symptoms
Nice. More NMN studies are a good thing. I've been taking 250mg every morning and I feel like I have more energy, but I'm not convinced it's not a placebo effect.

WoW was accessible in a way that previous MMOs were not: instead of repetitive grinding from the very start players are hand-held through levelling with the quest system and a story line. The levelling dungeons have comparatively generous static loot tables, with the rare drops from those dungeons just a nice little bonus. It's not until endgame that WoW reverts to genre.

WoW IMO killed Star Wars: Galaxies, which was exploring a more "open world" style of game; subsequent expansions progressively dialled back the classless system and player generated content.

More traditional repetitive grind MMOs remain popular in some parts of the world, but it's either EverQuest style or WoW style MMOs now.
Why not sqlite? You can read/write to a sqlite file in pretty much any language using decent bindings aside from maybe browser JS. I've worked with third party sqlite files several times and it usually isn't that bad. You can't just use any text editor to work with them, but the sqlite CLI is very easy to install and use. If you want a GUI, DB Browser seems to work very well.
jQuery has faded into the background, no longer interesting.

React has too many sharp edges, it'll only be here until something shinier supercedes it.
Rust uses async/await based concurrency: https://rust-lang.github.io/async-book/01_getting_started/01...

There are a variety of async channel structures, for example:

smol channels: https://docs.rs/smol/0.4.3/smol/channel/index.html

async std channels: https://docs.rs/async-std/1.4.0/async_std/sync/fn.channel.ht...

tokio channels : https://tokio.rs/tokio/tutorial/channels

One difference between Rust and Go is that Rust does not have a runtime by default, which means async/await needs an "executor." Some popular ones are async std, smol, and tokio.

If you want to use OS threads directly for parallelism (which is not concurrency, but is related) then you can use std::thread, and a variety of synchronous channels for inter-thread communication.
I am not waving away all other factors, I am merely stating that the difference of mental development between girls and boys is, at least to me, quite obviously the largest by far.
Mental development has an enormous impact on school performance. Areas that "our" Western school system bases its grading on, from memorization to attention, are things that children only get better at when they grow more mature.

The lack of quality in modern school systems aside, I do not believe in forced equality and fully believe that sorting children by age hurts their academic progress tremendously.
By extend, separating boys from girls while teaching each at a different pace might actually improve the educational quality of every child, rather than trying to appeal to merely the average for whatever reason.
I believe that the above applies to any characteristic. Education should, in my opinion, be based on an individual's learning capability, but I suppose that would go against everything the modern school system stands for.

Hey all! I'm an ex technical cofounder looking for a ft gig as a backend or full stack engineer. I have experience at 3 startups while they were in the 0-1 phase. Hoping to work on a team with PMF that's ready to scale up. Or a "startup within a startup". Either way, I'm self taught and would love to learn from folks who know much more than me.
Your NAD levels decrease as you age. Returning NAD+ levels to a more youthful state is one of the things researchers are experimenting with to reduce the effects of aging.

Quoted from https://www.nmn.com/precursors/what-is-nad

"NAD+ works as a shuttle bus, transferring electrons from one molecule to another within cells to carry out all sorts of reactions and processes. With its molecular counterpart, NADH, this vital molecule participates in various metabolic reactions that generate our cell’s energy."
Did you put the right link? I see 3 other laptops listed as winners.
Pretty sure overdraw / fillrate bottlenecks before vertex processing. Also you could draw that quad using strips which would then amount for only one more processed vertex compared to triangle.

Edit: okay surely with modern architecture there is no pixel write because of some early alpha cut but you still have to fetch the texture to make it so texture fetch (memory) will bottleneck first. I guess.
Goodness - so much wrong in one headline!
This award could become meaningful if they consistently chose good things, especially if they called really good products really early and where alone in doing so.

You know what else has that cost structure? Colleges diplomas. $100 application, then if you win you pay a lot more.
"Managers mandated themselves into making x times the amount of their top paid report, control decision making, and have hiring and firing powers all in one position."

I'm curious where you work (not specifically, I'm talking about generally the industry), because it's not been my experience either as a manager nor my understanding of anyone else in silicon valley or large or mid sized software companies. I've managed engineers who get paid more than me, never have had unilateral hiring or firing powers, and don't control much decision making power other than my ability to hopefully influence engineers or upper management.

I could imagine your case being true in other places (finance, for example) where managers usually aren't engineers and there is much more of a fiefdom organizational structure, but it hasn't been my experience in software.

Yes, we should talk about the system and incentives of the revolving-doors between massive corporations and government bodies meant to govern those corporations. With the cash/status/power incentives attached.

You don't need an explicit intentional criminal conspiracy when a "conspiracy of common interests" can produce similar results.
