It's weird that men still shave at all to be honest. The world is casual enough that you're not expected to have a "close" shave. I use a Wahl Peanut with no guard, takes maybe one minute. Costs $65 and lasts 5 years easily.

You can also use it to give yourself a buzz cut, if you're so inclined, and save even more money.
> Sounds like a lot of work to me. In other words, the teflon pan is actually more convenient.

It’s actually zero work, despite the recent uptick in people who think you need to coddle a cast iron pan. Most of the tips people give for dealing with cast iron are pointless extra work or actively make it perform worse.

I wash mine with soap and water and it takes about a minute, or about as long as washing a Teflon pan. Frequently I don’t even bother with this, and just wipe it out with a paper towel.

There was no need to jump through hoops to specially season the thing. Just use it, and its non-stick properties increase over time. It’s zero maintenance and I’ve had the damn thing for over a decade now.
I've always used single blade disposables. They don't work quite as well as other options, but they get the job done and they're dirt cheap.

I've also had a similar, but slightly different idea for a practical desktop display - get it to show nice tidbits like a wallpaper. For example, a Newton's cradle, or a spinning top, or a lava lamp or whatever folks put on their desks. Though coding it would be a bit of a challenge for a non-CS guy like me.
The TV thing really bothers me too. Just sell me a TV with a bunch of HDMI ports for me to plug a chrome cast or Apple TV into, I am not interested in your shitty “smart” tv bloatware.
There's a new variant called the HOT (height optimized trie) to improve over ART :) but really nice, didn't know of SIP or highway hash, but I wanted to prevent collisions as There's also a diff algorithm, which compares revisions (that said we now also store the type of change, plus the context nodes and the root of the change in a simple JSON file -- so changes are tracked, too).

The data in SirixDB is always indexed by a 64bit int whereas the upper 10 bits denote the position of the node in the page. I've also used different node sizes as in an ART and I'm using a bitset, too in a new node type.

Don't you have to join the data stored in the ART itself? Trying to understand why and how you join index pages :-)
Ok...?
Heh, I ran out of detergent not that long ago and had to improvise some with an Internet Recipe of baking soda and a few drops of dish soap. Some of plastics came out with a bit of chalky water marks, but the dishwasher itself was completely odorless for the first time. Filed it away in my memory to run some baking soda every now and then.
I /remember/ them from when I was logging in to "the computer lab" at my Uni from literally decades ago, but I haven't thought about them nor used them in at least that time.
Substantial passive income requires a bigger financial invest, e.g. if you can buy 1,000,000 ADA and stake those, you'll get round about 50,000 ADA rewards per year (39,000 USD, currently). Same with stocks, buying an apartment/ house to rent it to others etc.

So, you'll have to maximize income and reduce cost as much as possible to fill that "investment bag". One way to do that is to become self-employed, win a corporate customer that is okay with remote work and move to a lower-income / cost country for 10 years.

A lot of people today try to build traction for their digital product in a large enough niche. Never ever underestimate the effort needed for that! That hasn't much to do with passive income.

If you've got a talent for writing, you could write 9.99€ Kindle books for high margins.
> Your reply is meaningless.

I think the parent commenter's point (and apologies if this is a mis-read, shp0ngle) is that passive income is a fantasy unless you're just stashing extra money in investment vehicles. That doesn't sound like the situation nada_ss finds themselves in.

Are you assuming as societies get richer and more technologically advanced there is less of a need for labor?

Hasn't this myth been busted repeatedly over centuries since the Industrial Revolution?
I would change this to. Find a project you would love to do (software, hardware, art; anything you love to be really good at). Make sure other people would like to see that project (ask your friends and see what others have done). Then create the project and blog about it, create tiktok/youtube videos. It can take a year or more . Also this project can be used to get you a job.

It is possible your project will fail; try to figure out why. Pick a new project and try again.
Many HN readers tend to downplay environmental issues and resource scarcity. Some think religiously it can be be solved by innovation, which is fuelled by growth.
Aside from the social situation, it's also extremely hard to naturalize as a legal process. It's possible but no small feat. One has to be fully fluent in Japanese, reside in Japan for at least a decade, adopt a Japanese-compatible name written in Japanese characters, renounce their other citizenships, and just generally fully assimilate.

Only a few thousand per year bother. There's actually hundreds of thousands of eligible long-term residents in Japan who could acquire citizenship on paper, but the criteria (particularly the renunciation of other citizenships) are burdensome enough that even some people born in Japan who have lived there their whole lives who could become citizens opt not to.
Give it a try ;)
Are they just optimizing for certain data sets? If you take that same AI and apply it to other tasks does it produce above-human results?
I agree with this, but that's what makes this hypocrisy so particularly galling. These politicians are in the unique position to write legislation (or at least influence legislation) that could prevent shit like this, like requiring a longer minimum flight distance, or prohibiting schedules like this where one leg is empty.

Totally agree, appealing to personal action (beyond voting really) is largely a "feel good exercise", but that's not the case for politicians in their official capacity.
Yeah, I get that for some people going the extra mile is worth it, but it's important to point out that you don't need to do anything extra to get a perfectly functional pan. My modern Lodge skillet is more non-stick than any non-stick pan I've ever owned, and I've never even formally seasoned it. I just cooked with a little oil for the first month or so.
> Trying to conflate a natural (or at least unintended [1]) population drop with some deliberate policy of "family destruction" is the height of dishonesty.

Your sibling comments (including the one you support) are arguing that we should continue policies which abuse the young to the point they are too distressed to breed because we have “too many people”. That would be animal abuse if I did it to cows: intentionally abusing a herd so they were too distressed to procreate.

I think you not admitting that I’m responding to sentiments expressed in this very thread is dishonest.

> The downside is that the people leaving also tend to be the most capable of producing that change

Some % of people, yes. But not everyone leaves. As long as enough brilliant people remain and there can be economic and scientific progress breaking the shackles of a millennia of rule, things can become right. These things are slow and take time though.
Air transport account for less than 4% of the 51 b tons of CO2 we send every year. These politicians aren’t going to make any difference.
We could ask them to be role models, but with what finality? Again air transport is not the most urgent problem. I understand this is a topic that can be used to raise awareness, but the most useful thing these politicians could do is to rethink the way (EU) businesses are leading China and India to use coal for energy. Why no one proposes to handle this topic, I do not understand. And if someone would handle it, then it would be time to use your next vote wisely.
I could be wrong but I think they might have been talking about a hypothetical, arbitrarily complex software. As a limiting case, if software were simulating a mind down to the quarks, it becomes unclear what the difference would be.

I agree with your point of course, what we have today is certainly not like a human mind
Oh that's what you described in your first reply.

As I understand recycling at home is just a red-herring (it ends up somewhere in Turkey anyway and even if it didn't it is just a bucket in the ocean compared to the actual reasons for the climate change (natural resources industry). If we won't discount the consequences on the climate then nuclear energy becomes even more price competitive (real non snake-oil solution)).
A lot of people work a part time job, or work 2 remote jobs at the same time. Not necessarily recommending this approach, but i've worked with people that were doing it, including one right now.
The thing is it takes skill and time to get there. Look at the reddit groups with everyone having some favorite brush or soap lather. The first few times you do it will probably go terribly too, maybe even ongoing. Meanwhile, 3 blade gillete can do an OK job with only a splash of water and a dozen strokes if you were in a true pinch. the skinguard is even better than old man mach 3. in a world where a pint of beer at a bar is now $15, i don't mind paying the $35 or whatever for a pile of cartriges that will last me a long long time. maybe i wait too long on changing the cartridge though so ymmv but i find you can be sloppy and get away with a dull head for longer with that skinguard too than the stuff i was using a dozen years ago.

I had a similar experience, when ppl didn't know that codec comes from coder-decoder... It happened, when I called a Clojure namespace x.y.codec, with encode and decode functions in them.
I've also noticed how some of my colleagues hasn't realized, that the Rust serde library is short for serialize-deserialize.
If you're fine with living with others I know a few people that bought houses with more bedrooms than they needed and they'd just rent out the spare rooms. Everything is cool as long as you have good tenants and don't mind the constant company. When things are good, this means a much reduced mortgage expense.

For a short flight like that you'll get almost no points and you'd get more by booking a hotel room with a credit card.

I broke one of those simply taking it out of the packaging. I was flabbergasted how fragile the thing was when I really looked at it.
That's great when talking about people who spend the vast majority of their wealth on "cost of living" type stuff. But does it work in this case?

If a person in Italy makes just enough to live comfortably, you can compare that to a person in Norway who makes just enough to live comfortably. But if a person wants a new iPhone on top of that, they're gonna be paying around $1250 whether they're in Norway or in Italy ($1295 in Norway, $1253 in Italy).

So it seems to me that the calculation is a bit more complex than just some purchasing power parity factor. Even if $1 in Italy was $2 in Norway adjusted for PPP, I would much rather be making $8000/month in Norway than $4000/month in Italy because the price of luxury goods don't vary as wildly as the price of cost-of-living stuff.

Or is my understanding wrong?
Aircraft are limited to a speed of 250kts below 10,000ft unless they're in an airport's control zone and then they're limited to 200kts. So, given the time to navigate Frankfurt's complex airspace, as well as balancing how much gas needs to be burned to get high to go fast, when you will shortly need to come off the throttle and descend anyways, versus just staying low and within the speed limits, I can see 55 minutes being well within the realm of reason.

Show HN: I made a browser-based RTS game
I've posted this game here before, hopefully a repost is fine as the game has changed quite a bit (improved AI, improved mapeditor, much quicker gameplay, etc).

Game is based on JavaScript/Canvas and WebSockets. On the browser side the map is pre-rendered (as a background image), just the mobile units/buildings and animations are dynamically rendered. The lobby server is made in node.js, but the game server is C++ for performance reasons (mainly the pathfinding). I found the C++ WebSocket libraries out there to be too difficult to use so I made my own based on the rfc. Overall I think making a game like this is quite easy with the browser performance/features nowadays. The game server and client side JavaScript are around 5000 lines of code each.

If you have any questions about the tech I'm happy to answer them.
What problem, are these companies solving again?

Go buy a legal spore syringe and you can grow more mushrooms than you could eat in a decade for $100 with the uncle Ben tek or the poor boy tek or whatever.

Indeed. The political class increasingly have lost touch with just how regular people live. A regular person would be on the 4 hour train or the Flix bus. They seem to believe in lots of things mostly for "other" people though.

It would be nice if they replaced these monthly sessions with Zoom meetings or similar. It's almost as if they are completely oblivious to corporate remote meetings revolution of the last 2+ years because of the pandemic.

I have a mental image of one of these bureaucrats sitting in business class working a Powerpoint presentation about energy policy.
Unless I'm misunderstanding, I think problem 3 has many solutions.

Spoilers:

First note that, below 16, 11 is the only sum which explains S's first statement: all possible pairs of numbers adding to 11 have non-unique products, accounting for S knowing P would not know the numbers.

Then note that for 18 (9x2), 24 (8x3), and 28 (7x4), all other factor pairs for that product add to a non-11 number below 16. Those non-11 sums are ruled out by S's first statement, so P will know the sum is 11 by her second statement.

Therefore (9,2), (8,3), and (7,4) all look like valid solutions, and it seems likely there are more.

What am I missing?
The vote for Macron was predominant among the elderly. Number 3 Mélenchon (radical left) got the votes from the 35- (and he was one of the 2 candidates actually proposing something against climate change). Le Pen (#2, far right) was in first place in-between.
It does not mean that everything is explained by age though.
The Japanese are indeed a nation. They’re a culture. An identity.

Japan is a country with boundaries that most of the world agrees on. There is nothing innate about its location or composition.
If one of those ports is an antenna input then it is a TV. Otherwise it is a monitor. That's the "tele" in "television".

Apparently this is enforced by the regulators. If it has a tuner it will say "television" on the box. Otherwise it says something like "monitor" or "display".
Oh, if you're in a hard water area (like many parts of the UK), it really helps to use salt! Where I grew up we never used salt because the water wasn't hard, but in London (for example) it makes a massive difference.

All dishwashers seem to have a reservoir for salt but of course people only tend to use it in regions where it's needed.
My predictions for 2023:

- A is just like now.

- B is just like now, but faster.

- Nobody is doing C anymore. Well, maybe some backwards people, but certainly not anyone who reads D (people still read D!).

- E, that scientists has been trying to warn us about for decades, is still happening.

- Teens are doing something that older people are either outraged by, or are trying (poorly) to emulate.

- The rich are richer and the poor are poorer.

- Nobody saw F coming. That was something... it really changed life in small but irreversible ways.

- The market has been fluctuating.

- People sometimes look back at 2022 - how simple things were back then.
I think its just a legal thing. You don't want "Google says ___" headlines based on internet comments from employees. In any case, if I was a Google employee, I'd want to hide the fact.
Of course in representative democracies not every topic is voted on in a referendum.

The general failure of anti-immigration parties to win majorities in European countries suggests that most people are either pro-immigration or at least willing to accept it.
Some countries are starting to ban short haul flights. Seems a bit hypocritical to ban flights that would benefit your average citizens but then utilize the type of flight that’s convenient for politicians.
I don't fully agree for two reasons.

First, I am not sure the data on most in-use hardware (e.g. EC2 m5/c5/i3en etc ...) supports your conclusions. xxHash is faster than crypto hashes always and BLAKE3 single threaded is faster on every Intel machine I've come across in wide deployment. I hear similar arguments around CRC-32 and to be frank it just isn't true on most computers most people run things on.

Second, many languages don't properly use the hardware instructions and if they do they often don't use them correctly. For example, Java 8 has bog slow SHA-1, AES-GCM and MD5 implementations, and switching to Amazon Coretto Crypto Provider (which is just using proper native crypto) was able to speed SHA/MD5 up by 50% and AES-GCM by ~90% on a reasonably large deployment (although the JDK wasn't using proper hardware instructions for AES-GCM until Java 9 I think it is still slower even after that).

That being said, like I disclaimed at the top of the benchmark your particular hardware and your particular language matters a lot.

the skinguard they have is great now. its basically a modernized mach3. super smooth and you can get away using it when its old and dull without being cut as much as the old mach3s, and it has a single blade on the back for edging.
As another commenter said, if you don’t care for quality, you can get pre-ground. Then, you just boil water and brew, which is a few cups of coffee, so potentially less amortized work.

Cleanup is fair but it’s on the order of putting your hands in the grounds and throwing them in the trash. I suspect people think machines are easier because they don’t mind mold or scale building in their unclean tank.
> Sounds like a lot of work to me. In other words, the teflon pan is actually more convenient.

I'm probably being a little nitpicky/contrarian when I say this, but for my cooking style, teflon is actually more.

I cook with large amounts of fat (generally beef fat - tallow and/or suet) every meal, which on Teflon causes a nightmare of a mess to clean. With my cast iron pan, I just wipe off a bit of the excess and let the rest say in the pan, forming a non-stick coating. I've not cooked any eggs in a while, but I reckon (granted, possibly falsely, since I've not tested this) that I would fry one without any special precautions due the amount of grease I cook with in normal times.

So for some people, the cast iron cooking style is actually easier because there is less cleaning.
> We could ask them to be role models, but with what finality?

Yes! That would show everyone that dealing with climate change is going to reduce your quality of life. I'm sure that's a good idea.
You need capital to make passive income. And you need to be willing to risk that capital. If you dont have those things, dont bother.

Fortunately if you are a software developer, you can make things that other people require a lot of capital to do. So you can make your software vending machine of some sort and have passive income from that. Advertising it requires capital, and you have to design the system that has low infrastructure costs.

Only if you consider resources are unlimited, and the environment has no value.

If you put available non-renewable resources and the environment on the balance sheet, the result is different.
Always incredible when HN's anti-Indian racism comes out from just beneath the surface.
Good hardware restricted by software reminded me once again of the thing that iPadOS is. Despite excellent processors, the software is essentially iOS, with all its restrictions. Though chrome os is Linux based at least.

Question for any curious or innovative HN readers - what would you suggest to do with iPadOS' restrictions? I'm speaking both as an ipad owner disappointed with the software but also as an M1/Ax chip fan.

Potential solutions I can easily think of are:
1. Jailbreak - but it needs specific software and can be finicky, and very likely forces you to not get security updates

2. Physically remove the storage and *do something*. Except I don't know what even is possible, assuming that you're okay performing BGA soldering on a $$$ device.
While some of us might try to gain power within our groups, the rest of the group is responsible for making sure they don't have too much power.

You should consider moving to a rural area and staying away from technology altogether. Having access to information seems to be making you insane via anxiety.

They are "not going to make a difference" but we the people (I am a Spaniard) are paying for their jobs and they are constantly pressing us to use less polluting means of transportation. That is the shame.

And the silly fact of the EU having:

Luxembourg,
Strasbourg

as seats of the Government makes this shameful and, yes, scandalous.
So much better said then my rambling screed above. People pick up on any excuse to avoid the diagnosis. Yes, the switch to plastic straws was stupid. Yes, the rich and powerful fly on planes and own yachts.

We live in this imperfect world. If we wait for it to become "perfect" top down, we'll just wait forever. And the climate emergency does to care about our partisan concerns.

I feel so for those with children. It's clear we're leaving them a world already condemned.
