Nice. I used to play powder game a lot as a kid, and Noita is currently one of my favourite games ever.

Would love to see this made into a series. Maybe implement different elements or optimisations to existing mechanics.
The difference between the dead comment and the article is the self-deprecation and the positive vs negative connotation.

The flagged comment was saying something negative about a group.

The original article was self deprecation (they don’t ask for enough) and complementary about the group it stereotypes (sticking up for oneself).
There's no money in life science except at the very top. All the (dear) nutjobs that want to "follow the money" should look into software engineering haha.
Proximity to the Silicon Valley VC money spigot is probably the answer.
> Can hardly blame grandpa for forgetting and acting strange every once in a while at his age :)

When grandpa refuses to wear glasses even though he can't see jack then it's time to take his car's key off of his hands.
Nature doesn’t chase anything. Things happen.

Arguably surviving may happen less often for the shock-proof egg than for the egg that is better in some alternative aspect (including quantity).

(Maybe the hard egg has other advantages though. Could also be used to produce a better skeleton.)
The one that gets me the most is Keep Right Laws[0]. I've never been in a state (I've been in a lot) where these are enforced. There's small patches where people do this, but never more than a 50 mile stretch. It's simple: "If you aren't actively passing, stay out of the left/PASSING lane." I really do believe that people think being in the left lane makes you go faster. But these laws, if enforced, can dramatically reduce highway accidents.

UPS ordered 10.000 Arrival vans. In my city there are only electric busses, most made by Iveco.
There are a lot of examples like this.

Most of those changes are forces by law. And this is a good thing. I like that we now have less noise and pollution in our cities.
Is it? Assigning text/html to extensionless file would be:

<FilesMatch "^[^.]+$">
ForceType text/html
</FilesMatch>

Which I don't think is that bad, compared to RewriteRule's.
Ah yeah sure, people running warehouses full of GPUs and reviving local coal power plants for their energy supply are doing less harm than than someone eating too much beef.

Unlike meat consumption, mining doesn't map neatly onto the entire population. It's a rich few that can even buy this much compute power.

Bitcoin is 137 TW/h/yr

Etherium is 112 TW/h/yr

(thanks for pointing out me messing up units)

Those are both mid sized countries by now.
Slightly surprised that Ford didn’t start a range of electric cars called Henrys. Missed opportunity.
You can't determine the file system structure from the URLs. The can map directly, but they don't have to

Also... http?
To be honest, I see it as a failing system that needs to be cut away amd replaced with something better (or be "reformed" if politicking requires it to keep the same name)

I was just providing my experience that my generation does think about it.
I'm in my early 30s, been coding since I was 16. I've worked in half a dozen languages and learned about a dozen "just for fun"...and damn, Clojure is hard.

It took me 3 very solid attempts over effectively three years for it to really click. It's honestly why I'll probably never bring it to work unless I absolutely need the thread-safety for something massive and complex that only experts will work on.

It's just not approachable.

But all that said, when it did click, it was worth it. Knowing that I have this powerful (almost magical and forbidden) knowledge is worth having really struggled with it.

In other words, I've been there. It's very tough. Stick with it (if you want) and I wish you the best.
I create my own for this purpose;

It’s just a nginx with redirects on pages))
I mean it is also the case that as a dev I spend a lot of time thinking about stuff, but in a way where I can sort of be doing something else at the same time. Often doing something else at the same time helps because if I'm not I get bored and stop doing it altogether.

So I'm goofing off on HN while background processing the design of a thing. Sure I could be staring at an IDE window when doing it, but instead I just open it to check things when needed.

I'm sure I'm less productive per minute than if it is all I was thinking about but I'm more productive on the scale of a full day if I am only half focusing on certain things. I have ADHD though so I'm probably not typical, but my point is that for intellectual work just because you can't see it doesn't mean it isn't happening
It mentions “by the people” however the roles and the power exists without people’s continued consent, which makes the words worthless.
I know that you mean well, but I feel this is a bad-faith argument. The president at the time was specifically saying he wanted to run the government like a business. From many friends who worked in government, that actually happened to some extent.

I never claimed to see the future, only similarities to things I’d seen before, from friends in government to the news.
I don't believe the article but even if it is true all it would take is to stop making it illegal for that decline to be visible. A negative interest rate signals that society wants to preserve excess capital but is failing to do so. The author conveniently dodges the elephant in the room which is the aging population in the west and which will soon manifest itself in China.
Peter: I know the product and it is p.q

That's that many static site generator do, use a folder and index.html for "clean urls".

Though personally I would do as the other comment said, keep it hi.html and use try_files or mod_rewrite to handle it. I mean, ask me to set up something like this and I probably would never have though of doing it the way in the article. It just seems weird to me.
I don't like this at all - there is value in a hierarchical naming structure - even if it doesn't represent actual directories.

A simple example is:

https://www.kozubik.com/

... where you can find "items":

https://www.kozubik.com/items/

... and one thing inside of "items" is an article on NDS emitters:

https://www.kozubik.com/items/nds/

... which contains supporting multimedia objects:

https://www.kozubik.com/items/nds/images/

Not only do you know where you are in the tree, but it is also discoverable: by using index.html default pages and your web servers directory indexing code, you can have a very flexible resource that is easy to navigate.
I am not sure after reading the landing page if the platform itself is open source or if I am only allowed to host open source apps on it?
>I want the story of the JPEG told from the "let's just throw some information away because it's good enough to get the current job done even if it looks crap" perspective.

The thing built like that would either be crap and nobody uses it so no cool story, or it will be so damn genius with middle out that gets a Weissman score of 9.8 or some such.
Interesting. Are there any guides you would recommend to get into collecting animation cels? For example, how to avoid fakes?
How does crypto mining come even close? Sorry, which beings am I immersing in extreme pain and suffering by running hashes on my GPU?

Environmentally, Bitcoin and Ethereum's combined production of greenhouse gasses - ~50M tons CO2 - does not come anywhere close to the over 6 billion tons of CO2 of global greenhouse gas emissions caused by meat production.

Again, orders of magnitude more environmental damage, alongside the greatest cycle of sheer pain and suffering this planet has ever seen, and we don't even get something out of it. How can people point fingers at crypto miners while engaging in this far more harmful behavior?
> Consider something even more niche like being a dolphin marine biologist.

and that's why i am against equality of outcome. You've just disguised an outcome based metric as an opportunity.

The opportunity isn't "to become whatever they wish". The opportunity is the possibility of getting a job, and not rely on social security to live.
So what if per request it makes 1001 sql queries that do a full table scan each? It works!
Not really. The cloud won. So did microservices and NoSQL databases and containerization. The industry is not going back.
Haven't played it by myself, but Pathologic II could be described as a poverty simulator. The game truly makes you miserable and puts hard choices on you. Do you steal food to not starve, when your reputation is sort of key to going ahead?
There is even inflation in there. And a plague.
Is there really a difference? Instead of using automated spiders it asks users to do the crawling.

Is Pinterest not a search engine for images?
Don’t banks have a certain reserve ratio that they need to maintain? This would mean the absolute maximum they can give out in loans is a fixed amount, and likely slow changing. Assuming loans make money and banks want to maximize profit, banks would loan out close to the max they can (of course they need to keep margin to address any risks). This would mean giving more loans to certain group of people would put downward pressure on the amount of loans banks can give to others.
Thomas S Kuhn, anyone?
Do these people not understand how much ugliness they reveal about themselves when they cannot envision a platonic friendship between the old and the young? Whether projection or cynicism, I don't trust them.
Reminds me of Plank's "science advances one funeral at a time"
> I think it stands on its own merits, and would prefer that people evaluate it in earnest rather than compare bullet points with another language.

I’m definitely not looking for bullet point comparisons.

Rather, I’m looking for an example of implementing some concrete functionality in both Hare and — say — C, which highlights the advantages of Hare over C in implementing this specific functionality.
Is Sveltekit to Svelte as Next.js is to React?

Or is it more like create-react-app is to react?
You want to be able to disconnect and reconnect to your terminal session on the fly for any of a number of reasons:

- You're connected to a remote host and you don't want an unexpected network issue to kill your session

- You want to be able to periodically check on the status of something on a remote host but don't feel like keeping the connection open all the time

- You want to connect to the same session from different clients

- You may need to restart you graphical session and don't want that to kill your terminal session

A really simple way you could get this working is what abduco and detach do: the demon just blindly shuttles input and output between the client tty and the virtual tty that the interactive process is running in. However, when you reconnect to an existing session, you get no context, because the server doesn't know what it would need to tell the client for it to reassemble the tty state.

In order for that to be possible, the daemon would need to keep track of the terminal state internally. It's really annoying that that's necessary because now your actual terminal emulator isn't directly communicating with the process it's displaying, and you won't be able to access any features of your terminal that the daemon doesn't support.

But once you already have this background process that's keeping track of terminal state, you might as well build in other features that would require that, like window management, otherwise people who want those features will end up having yet another layer of terminal. If you don't want those features, you can pretend they're not there.
Tauri is young in development but offers a lot already. Initially I used Electron and couldn’t make a normal build that would package my app properly so I gave up. Then I discovered Tauri. It does everything you need with a single command which is awesome!
"(...) struggle to form meaningful friendships/relationships with colleagues."

Whenever you're forced to do something, yes you will struggle. My colleagues are my colleagues. And if I like someone, I will bond with them and it might become a friendship regardless of whether i see them in person or not.

Still, I'm at work to work, not to make meaningful bonds. Using the word 'meaningful' in a work context makes the word almost lose its meaning and make it seem banal. Meaningful bonds happen by chance, and most people we come across with, we don't make meaningful bonds with anyway. And whether we want it or not, work environment is not the same as hobby or home or relaxation.

I have good friends, who i have meaningful bonds with, and I'm happy with that. At work, i'm getting paid to do a job, not to form meaningful bonds with people. I don't need those, because I have those already.

Maybe you enjoy interactions with colleagues, who don't enjoy interactions with you because they'd rather be home where they don't have to talk with someone they don't have or want a meaningful bond with.

And for the last point of "Sure, it might be technically more productive (...)". Companies try to make us believe it is less productive to WFH all the time. Remove that point, and there's nothing more on the table to want people at the office, than the fact that some need social interaction and to form meaningful bonds at work.

A few days/week of working at the office for people who want meaningful bond making could be arranged, and you all could connect with each other, sing kumbaya together, and make life long friendships then. Just don't force others to do the same.
Thank you for doing this. I produce PD ebooks as a hobby, and it simply wouldn’t be possible without source scans to reference (and transcribe where needed).

Have you got a favourite “lost” novel?
Even most FAANG companies are over 20 years old: Apple is over 40. Google, Netflix and Amazon were founded in the 90s. Facebook is the youngest one, founded in 2004, which makes it 18 years old.

Within those companies, there is tons of legacy software and some of it still runs some of their most important systems, despite large sustained investments in modernization.

If FAANG is that way, imagine what it's like at large banks or defense contractors which don't have a strong emphasis on modernization in their internal software engineering cultures.
Or they don't and then conclude that SQL and relational DBMSs are crap and that they have to switch to NoSQL to save the day (/s but only slightly)
It's not the companies that need to be convinced, it's a matter of the people wanting this enough that politicians act on it or get voted out, and then companies are just forced to follow the regulations that require such trucks.

The US is a democracy that doesn't act like one.
Nothing beats Everything. Seriously.

When I changed to Linux 6 years ago I have to be more mindful of where I put my files, because on Windows Everything works extremely well.

(I am talking about 5M+ files on disk)
Yes, but the next iteration will take care of those interactions. You're not really "moving" anything; that was poor imagery on my part. The illustration on the Wikipedia article shows it well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_cellular_automaton

There are some diagonal interactions that are not directly expressible in this way, but they can propagate through the non-diagonal neighbours instead.

Hello guys and ladies,

check out my scheme to c compiler. I implemented closure conversion and continuation passing style conversion. the architecture is the following: parsing (ast) -> desugaring -> continuation-passing-style -> closure-conversion -> code generation. Take a look and give me some feedback if you can. thanks
At least Ethereum’s energy usage will drop by 99.99% shortly.
The web has been pretty successful too.
It's a really terrible comparison and nothing but a cheap tu quoque.

Crypto contributes nothing but a speculative asset to society.

Meat production, while derailed into unsustainability, has a lot more utility and is also a lot harder to unwind from current culture. Try running a survey on which of the two people would rather forego, and your 100M to 6B ratio will look rather stupid.

One shitty behavior doesn't excuse another.
San José is still not very interesting now, in terms of urban experience- it can actually be described as “dull suburban“. And its size is mostly attributable to an imperiously expansionist city manager in the 50s and 60s, not only because of tech.
"Any database workload is performant while all the data fits in ram"

No. Try querying 100 million+ records without good indexes even when it fits in ram. Any kind of query volume will get expensive fast.
I have often wondered why no one has developed a multi-wheel steering truck trailer. I know nothing about the engineering difficulties, or the cost penalty, but it seems to me that multi-wheel steering would make a truck, even a long truck, much more manouverable in confined spaces.
these xn-- urls are cool when you display them, like yours with ï, but I don't like the xn-- representation.

I got a couple of them, but I end up using p0l.co, like p0l.co/55, also just a redirect list basically, on GitHub with netlify.
DBAs will always exist wherever crufty shit like Oracle, DB2, and Teradata are deployed on-prem. It's fading for sure, but it's a pretty comfy job from what I've seen. You're basically in a silo no one wants to mess or deal with.
New York Times drops ‘fetus’ as an answer to Wordle – but not for all players
> it definitely feels as if there's a low key lawlessness about town.

history of police: the NY police force stared when one politician got his street gang made official.

So the police have a cultural heritage.

And on the other side,the city isn't a bunch of people who basically agree (or think they basically agree) on what is right and wrong, then use the law to enforce this. Counter-example, Sweden from circa 1000 to 2000 AD. (Sweden still thinks it is this, but has growing issues with immigrants from non-nordic cultures)
> You spend 50-70k

Woah, woah, woah! That's more than most people in the world, the US or even California earn in a year, before taxes. (Median per capita income in California is $39k).

Why is a remote worker going to be spending roughly double the average Californian?
I was a database consultant for many years, there used to be lots of DBA work, there's a lot less now - the hardware is faster, memory is cheaper, disks are SSD, so a lot of the hard parts of the job are less hard now, also databases are self tuning now (to varying extents). It used to be you'd need a specialist to just keep any application running, now it doesn't matter much. The only hard area left is large data warehouses, and there are few of those and the interesting part is the data engineering role not so much the admin part. The DBA role for these is pretty standard now. Also a lot of apps are moving to the cloud, so less work there as well.
I really like this approach. Typically, we're building some sort of tool that does some undifferentiated heavy lifting that is not core to our customer's business. The last thing they want is to dedicate their most expensive resource (dev time) to maintain a tool that they themselves didn't even build from scratch.

Nice :)
Why not http? Secure connections add overhead. It's not like this site contains any secrets?
It is enforced in Germany. There is a culture which takes driving seriously.
It's been vaporware forever, I'll believe it when I see it.

And I still wouldn't like it. Proof of Stake is even more directly aimed at making the rich richer, whereas Proof of Work only did it with a few extra steps. But at least they'd no longer be burning the planet.
If NMS has been honest with what they had vs. what their vision was, they wouldn't even have had to suffer all the negativity.

Imagine if ED had marketed itself around the idea of being able to jump out of your ship and play in first person, people would have been furious.

The fact that NMS managed to come back and actually implement pretty much everything they had originally promised is pretty amazing, but I think it's an anomaly, and most games that suffer from initial disappointment will end up being cancelled.
same, but without the name part haha. well, I guess it kinda does, my name is pavlos, paul in English. https://p0l.co/55
> Meat production [...] has a lot more utility

We will have to agree to disagree that stimulating the taste buds has more utility than providing a trustless financial system.
This is basically what I think of everything I read about in English literature class in high school.

You're asked to comment on so many things that you haven't heard of. 19th century English class anxiety, extreme poverty in London, slavery and race relations in America, midcentury dystopias (global) and unreasonable justice systems in central Europe (?). All things an ordinary Scandinavian teenager at the end of the 21st century is not going to have a whole lot of perspective on until they've lived a little bit longer.

But then when you have lived that little bit longer it makes sense, and Kafka is probably the one that will come closest, having travelled quite nicely into the modern world and having a corporate version that most people will run into. Next is the dystopias that we see on the news but don't recognise when living in.
thing is, if you google for it, you will find it as a technique https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/VLDBG/GUID-5A76B6CE-C96... which I can imagine is used to justify the path they were on.

and we must note that the business side did eventually bring in external consultants because the project was clearly distressed. So it did eventually get corrected and I naturally tend to see the worse examples of this kind of thing, but yeah, it is possible to assemble a team of 8 developers and get unlucky such that not a single one knows anything about indexes or cloud databases in general.
I see a lot of confusion about college endowments on HN. It's best to think of them not as saving accounts but financial instruments. Annual university budgets make use of the returns off of the endowment, often covering more than half of their expenses. Their long-term plan is to never tap into the principal. In fact, the hope is to increase the principal with new donations to expand the annual returns to fight against inflation and support new initiatives.
TW/h doesn't really make sense. I suspect you meant TWh/year.

I absolutely will not. At least with known URL shorteners I know that’s what I’m getting and can inspect further. When I get links like this I assume I’m getting spam or malware. Almost all of the time it’s spam.
Because it's not 10 000x harder to manage SpaceX than Joe's Plumbing. Sure the compensation should reflect in some way the effort and difficulty. But these earning ratios between the top and bottom or big and small are out of whack. Parent points out that they don't mesh with people's sense of 'right' either.
Here's a version of the slides which also has notes: https://homes.cs.washington.edu/~tom/talks/edreform.pdf
So, how do we scale the creation of small market places?
Interestingly, this requires a second set of vehicles, as the electrical trucks won't cut it on the long haul.

This evens the ground for rail-based logistics, which also need a second set of vehicles at the target location. Of course, the drivers of these City-Trucks will earn city wages. It will be interesting to see how this works out economically.
if it is anything to go by (probably not), most Yakuza stories in mangas are about collapsed clans surviving or waning organizations trying to rebuild a mafia rule
