displaying a PNG in multiple games from a shared location for /sure/ is possible

No doubt you can display it obviously, but you can't ensure that it's identical everywhere, especially where the thing displaying it is implemented by separate teams of developers. PNG has built in gamma correction. It's a good example of a format that displays differently depending on where you're viewing it. Game developers would be swamped with support requests saying "My special hat NFT is just a black rectangle!"

And that's just for 2D images. If you want to do it for 3D assets... Well, trust me, you really don't.

I like the 4 day week, but that is because I have kids who are teenagers. Giving them some extra time each night with their parents is not important to them. But having an extra day to do something big, explore a new place, go to new museums, take small road trips, go camping, etc. - that makes a difference in their life.

When they get older and go off on their own, though, I would agree with you - a short daily working routine sounds good for me personally.
Based on everything we've learned about productivity over the past few years, I would say just do 6-hours a day as part of a 4-day week.

No issues here on old.reddit
Talented frontend engineers have for many years given Reddit information on how to address this; Paul Irish did one in 2015[0] and they are still suffering from problems he outlined.

I could do one for them to keep it current, but I could also just pipe it to /dev/null for how much action I expect to come from it.

What's fairly horrifying are the mobile call to actions trumpeting "this page loads faster in the app." Cool: so you agree this is slow.

That makes sense as the newer design seems to encourage the more superficial and judgemental type of engagement and conversation that dominates the site.
Other than small subreddit communities, the quality has been dismal for a while.

At this point I would consider moving a valuable community that I was invested in and considered worth saving to one of the reddit alternatives.

> there was a night train between Paris and Milan by Thello

The Austrian train company OEBB operate night trains under their NightJet brand[0], according to their route map[1] both Paris and Milan are served, although it doesn't look like that's direct, presumably you have to change (in Austria somewhere?)

“Once we get electric planes” is such a handwavy statement. We are so far off getting anything close to an electric commercial passenger plane.

The environmental cost Of train infrastructure is also amortised over the lifetime of the infrastructure.

There are tunnels and bridges in the UK built in the 1800s which are still transporting trains in it today.
IIRC they offer some trial subscription where you can register and read a few articles for free in a month or so. Also articles from "The Economist" are frequently posted in HN and often comments have non-paywalled links. Reading through them probably help you to judge whether it is good journalism or not.
A channel worth subscribing. Matt (and team?) manages successfully to walk the fine line between managing the complexity of the topics they discuss (which are sometimes extremely dense), making it consumable for the population that's interested in science and physics, but doesn't pursue it on a daily basis. At the same time, they don't fall for the trap of dumbing it down to the point where the audience develops misconceptions and starts believing in pseudo scientific claims.

There are some series they sometimes do, which are entertaining to follow. I also enjoy things like Journal club, where they pick a paper and deep dive into it. The audience also participates, in a way, where they pick the questions/comments from the previous video and answer them.

However, it's not all academic either. There are some running jokes etc, which keep the content entertaining, while being informative, a format that I see common in some of the best Youtube channels.
There are some rich people in the US who endorse 996. Calacanis being one.

Imagine trying to be a bigger piece of shit.

Japan isn’t even 996 & they’re going to have to start forcing people to have kids at gunpoint or kinda implode as a nation. Near purely because of their abysmal work culture.

I recall when Cards Against Humanity paid for their overseas factory workers a day off by paying for a full factory day with a quota of zero or something like that. All they asked was that the workers spend time with family & send a picture if they do anything special.

A ton of heartwarming but also incredibly sad to think about pictures came in, like a family celebrating their very young child’s birthday in a closet of an apartment. Tiny little home baked cupcake with a singular candle.

They wouldn’t have even gotten to celebrate that in the slightest without their day off, paid by foreigners indescribably richer than them that they’ve never met nor likely will meet.
What contrast do you want? A billion to one? At some point it's excessive, right? So there's some value less than infinite that you're after. Why is your monitor's maximum contrast the right value?
It's not just you (as others have mentioned). In the last year, I've found myself with 3-4 Discourse-based forums that I check at least weekly. They're all special purpose and most of them I use for a single thread, but still, it's something.
> Example: it's "AIDS" if the nonsense test goes one way, and merely pneumonia if the nonsense test goes the other way.

TB is not a disease and the test for it is nonsense. For example it is TB if the test goes one way and just bronchitis if the test goes the other way.

Of course, if you are ignoring this nonsense test you'll always want the treatment quacks give when the test is positive, if living is a thing you are into.
> irrational hatred of motorcycle

I very clearly linked my "irrational hatred" to the noise. Interesting that you read that and thought "that's me!"

Is it irrational to hate people who intentionally inflict loud, unpleasant noise indiscriminately on everyone else - sleepers, infants, daydreamers, musics listeners, meditators - because of their own lifestyle choice? Surprisingly, someone who does this thinks so.

I actually admire quiet motorcyclists. They are adults who understand the risks and accept them. Like adults do.

I have enjoyed them for years, I can recommend their merch and also give a slightly embarassing advice for insomniacs.

If you have insomnia, find a subject that you are genuinely interested in (but not too much) and watch videos on it while in bed. After a while, your brain slowly drifts off. After even more awhile, you learn to do this without a video.

PBS Spacetime, Sabine Hossenfelder, Isaac Arthur cured my insomnia, for which I am infinitely grateful.

Only mobile? The "new" (several years now but anyway) interface on web is super bloated. I'n not talking about ads, I get it, you serve ads and monetize, but the interface is sluggish to scroll smoothly, I can literally feel a complete lag almost close to a second when clicking a link, all on a newest MacBook Pro that keeps running smoothly at 120Hz at any other website other than reddit.

Seriously, they are killing themselves for no reason. Whoever greenlighted the new web should be fired immediately, if not already.

But it is very much its own language. With the same flaws as any as you need to know the mathematical context for symbols to make sense. There is a meaning behind them, but they often mean different things depending on the field and sometimes even contradict each other.
This is terrible, unfair, and morally wrong, but we can understand what it comes from: this is a difference between the so-called "developed" and "developing" countries.

Because why do we work? To have money so that we can live comfortably. Work is not meant to fill in 40 or more hours of our life, it's just a means to and end. If we can have enough money by working less, many people chose this way. In the meantime, in most countries of the world it's not an option: you might need to work much more just to survive. A sad reality and something that I hope changes one day, once the old generations (thinking in terms of nations and wars and not realizing all human beings are mutually interdependent) pass away.
I tried it on Ubuntu two years ago and it didn't feel very polished. I was able to create virtual machines and inspect basic metrics, but it would throw errors on about half of the features, assumed it was because it was built for RedHat and things were done differently on Ubuntu, or that I had simply done something incompatible in my manual configuration.

Would you say all the features of cockpit work on Debian?
Unless I've misunderstood, I don't like this proposal. To me:

Scenario 1: The code needs doing as part of the work I am doing. Solution: Do it before your current branch is merged otherwise your story is not complete.

Scenario 2: The code will eventually need doing but not now. Raise a task/ticket. Don't pollute the code with things that might never get done. We intended to remove a load of old code previously and haven't done it in 2 years because it isn't a problem.

I don't understand why you want to carry on working but hold back the entire codebase until the second piece of work is done.
I suggest you hop on Russian, Finnish, Austrian or Swedish night trains to vastly improve your impression.
"Large" in this context is stated to mean significantly larger than work_mem, which defaults to 4MB out of the box. Interestingly performance (relative to PG14) seems to get worse as work_mem increases and the ratio of table size to work_mem decreases. If this holds it should mean that for a fixed work_mem PG15 performance (again relative to PG14) should improve as table size increases.
> I want to believe it means one day we will do that TODO, it'll beat the priority of all the other tickets in the queue.

> But it never does, there's always some critical new feature sales wants, or something bigger on fire.

Why do you expect that random comments in the code will affect the priority of some tasks? Do you feel that stashing out-of-band info on pending tasks which were deemed not important regarding the project workload changes anything?

Also, if everything is always more important than the TODO item, that is the universe telling you that your TODO item should be deleted and that you should stop wasting your bandwidth with useless and unnecessary tasks.
I like working long hours, but 6 hours is the absolute max for the majority of people for intense intellectual or creative work for a sustained period of time.

Most super prolific creatives (painters/composers) do a routine of between 1.5 and 3 hour sessions, one or two sessions per day. Depending on the person, but very consistent once the person figures out their routine.

That means 1.5 - 6 hours total. But this doesn’t include meetings and correspondence and all that jazz.

I like to wake early, work a bunch, then take time in the afternoon to do non work stuff.

Then I can come back at the end of the day and do another few hours. This lets me experience the world when things are less crowded, make time for family etc, while still having plenty of time for work.

That's going to be pretty specific CSS wise.

Maybe collect some common CSS framework techniques:

https://mui.com/material-ui/react-badge/#main-content

https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/components/badge/

etc. They are apparently often called "badges" or "indicators" and so on.

Or on sites you visit regularly you can just inspect the source and look for specificity.
Curious whether anyone else has run into the problem where Nginx fails to work and crashes the entire instance because a single app that it's supposed to reverse proxy doesn't resolve:

nginx: [emerg] host not found in upstream "my-app"

In my eyes, that's a massive pain when you're running something like Docker Swarm with container health checks that don't route traffic to dynamically added internal names before the actual health checks for the containers have passed successfully. This probably isn't specific just for Docker Compose but also other solutions that handle networking similarly.

I wrote more about it on my blog: https://blog.kronis.dev/everything%20is%20broken/nginx-confi...

The sad thing is that using variables for that proxy_pass URL doesn't work either, when you want to use "proxy_redirect default", without which some applications that you're hosting tend to fail due to weird redirects:

nginx: [emerg] "proxy_redirect default" cannot be used with "proxy_pass" directive with variables

Alas, I'm in the weird spot where I cannot use Nginx for certain deployments, say, proxying 10-20 apps on my server but wanting most of them to keep working when one fails, without resorting to something like Kubernetes for managing the ingress due to some pretty tight resource limitations (even with stuff like K3s).

In comparison, Caddy is a little bit more usable, but also not quite as battle tested. Actually, Apache2/httpd might also be a viable alternative due to mod_md adding support for Let's Encrypt built in (like Caddy, unlike Nginx which needs certbot), if not for the performance.

Then again, the code that I write is the bottleneck more often than the actual web server, except for cases where one might use mod_php instead of fpm (though if you need to work with PHP and Apache and can afford the little extra work of configuring fpm, it's not too hard to fix either).

Standard notation like sigma for sum isn't really a descriptiveness issue, everyone knows what that means. Not dissimilar to programming languages using `+` instead of `plus()`. Non-standard variables are where more descriptive names would be useful, though the tendency to use single letter (greek or otherwise) names is reinforced partly by writing `ab` for `a*b`.

Also much of math notation is effectively 2d. Programming langs use linear text. Latex syntax is sometimes used for a linear-text representation (even if it's not intended to be rendered), but it reduces readability.

And people still write equations by hand a lot, because the notation is more efficient than typing it out.
How come always throwaway accounts start flame baiting threads like this? 0 account history, makes a thread, never replies to any other comments. At this point I'm not even surprised HN have threads like this more and more. Feels like intentional?

Also, most of the comments here are showing that old reddit works perfectly, maybe it was an error on your side? Overtuned ad- and contentblockers (like just blindly using uBlock Origin + uMatrix + Noscript together) are causing errors like this

I quote from https://www.reddit.com/r/TronScript/: “! -- YOU NEED TO VIEW THE SUB IN OLD MODE TO GET NECESSARY INFORMATION FROM THE SIDEBAR -- ! GO HERE AND READ THE INSTRUCTIONS --> https://old.reddit.com/r/TronScript/ ”
There is.

If you have a bijection between the items of some finite set S and {1,…,n} and a bijection between the items of some other finite set T disjunct with S and {1,…,m}, constructing a bijection between S ∪ T and {1,…,n+m} is trivial. For example, map the items of S to {1,n} as before and the items of T to {n+1,…n+m}, adding n to each of the values that you originally mapped each item of T to.

If you have a third finite set disjunct with S and T, it’s disjunct with S ∪ T, so you can repeat this construction.

“All subsets whose size is at most k” is the union of “all subsets whose size is zero”, “all subsets whose size is 1”, “all subsets whose size is 2”, … “ all subsets whose size is k”, and those sets are finite and disjunct, so you can use the above to construct such a mapping.

(as long as the set of common items is computable, “disjunct” is not essential in the above, but it would make the mapping more complex. “Finite” also isn’t necessary, as long as they’re countably infinite and you have finitely many sets. I think even a countably infinite number of countably infinite sets would work)
Given this is a blog post explaining their optimisations, you'd expect them to mention profiling with/without this attribute if they did it. Looking at the email thread, they share profiling results of before/after but there's nothing justifying the use of __forceinline in the thread or the blog post as far as I can see.

Those typically have due process and transparency. Google has neither.

> In case of Google Chrome, I can't recall the last time I came across such a warning and I surf all over the place, hosting all kind of crap. So it's very unlikely.

I'm not sure how common it is for chrome to mark whole websites, but they do like to warn on executable downloads that are flagged by crappy artificial stupidity anti-virus vendors who have no incentive to reduce false positives. And by warn I mean that Chrome (and other browsers that let Google gatekeep the web, which is most of them including FF) refuses to download the file and makes it obfucated enough to override that decision that many users think they can't download the file.
