> At least, that's the thinking. I don't have a source to prove any of that.

You have a very narrow conception of games that will be played in VR. I rather imagine that 3D immersive environments will be popular for many sorts of activities, including ones diametrically opposed to your exemplars, such as puzzle type games that reward hyperfocus, voyeuristic immersive drama and reality shows (algorithms like NERF are about to make converting SPoV video into 3D environments and content straightforward), and narrative heavy interactive fiction.

I'm not at all certain what genres and formats will prove popular, particularly with the general public, but I'm pretty sure that none of it is going to save people from their own impulses and obsessions.

“The drawers, he knew, were full of beetles. Hundreds of thousands of beetles. He was free, now, to do nothing with his time but study them, sketch them, annotate them, classify them: specimen by specimen, species by species, decade after decade. The prospect was so blissful that he almost keeled over with joy.” — Greg Egan, Permutation City
>So do we really need to e.g. double or triple the (electrical/thermal) power density at scale?

Will we ever be able to double or triple our (general purpose) compute per cpu any other way? Moore's law is essentially over. Node improvements aren't really happening outside of TSMC, which doesn't have enough manufacturing ability to supply everyone, and even then those node improvements are getting more and more incremental.

And regarding power consumption, I think we really need to be consuming more energy across most sectors of human activity. The most likely explanation for the "great stagnation" is that our energy consumption has basically flatlined since the 70s. It appears that on a civilizational scale, reaching greater levels of development and expression simply requires more Joules. If you disagree, I highly recommend the book Where is my Flying Car?

> Want to simulate a lseek+execve? Use dd!

I can't find anything about it in the man page - does anyone know the options? I'm assuming it doesn't mean simply running dd with seek to output another file and then running that.
I think the creator(s) should just simplify to the one full download. It'll make support and releases easier, and I genuinely can't see any reason why someone would download the other releases: https://feather.wiki/?page=downloads

Here, I'll simplify the options:

- All features, transpiled

- All features, not transpiled

- No Markdown, transpiled

- No Markdown, not transpiled

- No WYSIWYG, transpiled

- No WYSIWYG, not transpiled

I thought the length of board traces were part of the reasoning against that idea.

If you could have your CPU placed symmetrically in the middle of the board with slots, ports etc both above and below so they don't get too long traces then maybe? But that would go against the ATX spec.

I also wonder how often communication happens from one device direct to another without touching CPU? Is that a thing? DMA has been a thing for many years but with the memory controller on the CPU communications would still have to get there.
I've lived in some small towns and farming commmunities, they get away with a lot more living there, meaning a lot of people I met then had ideas that would have been considered nuts in the city (and I don't mean politics, racism or other bigotries) and everyone was like "that's just how that family is, a bit off but who cares". People were nosier and knew each other's business more due to gossip and listening to police chatter, but they tended to leave each other alone more too and didn't bother if someone was off or strange unless they seemed dangerous.

> One, Thompson says, is who should bear primary responsibility for making recycling happen. "Is it my responsibility because I bought [an EV] or is it the manufacturer's responsibility because they made it and they're selling it?"

Doesn't matter. If it's your responsibility, you pay. If it's the automaker's responsibility, the automaker pays, and then carries that cost forward into the price of the cars, so you pay.

Whose primary responsibility for making it happen? I mean, only the manufacturers can make it happen [redesigning batteries to be easily recyclable], but they won't, so someone has to make them, but customers won't, so the government will have to. This is one of those things the government is for, like banning trans fats and ozone-depleting refrigerant. Making all batteries more recyclable should be top of the list for this decade.

A bullshit stat that you happened to pull out of your ass through an emotional reaction to crypto. Even companies like Chainalysis, which work specifically in the industry of detecting and tracking fraudulent vs. ordinary crypto transactions, have repeatedly claimed that a majority of transactions aren't actually of criminal origin or money laundering. In other cases, people (ordinary people) have used BTC or crypto to avoid draconian controls on capital by governments. Illegal? Sure, but in a very absolutist moral sense. There indeed real business and financial activities in this space that don't involve fraud.

Con artists often gravitate to new technologies, see the internet itself as an example, and it applies especially when said technologies can be used to move information or monetary value around in some way. This doesn't make blanket condemnations of these technologies fair or valid. IT's absurd to see such idiotic condemnations constantly keep being parroted on a site like HN, full of people working in technologies that are constantly used by criminals too.

> Then show me the GitHub issue you filed that proves it. If you're talking about the Makefile configuration, I don't care.

You already fixed it [1], which was good. I left that experience with a neutral feeling; it was good that you fixed it, but it was not good that such a common thing was not handled. I decided to keep a watch on Cosmopolitan with a bit of happy anticipation.

(It was later seeing you on this site and lobste.rs that left a bad taste in my mouth.)

You're right, though, that a Makefile won't be able to handle it, and that that's not Cosmopolitan's problem, though I would suggest a different build system.

> Good. Please stop following me.

Oh, I don't follow you. But I check this site and lobste.rs regularly, and I see you post. Since I believe that Cosmopolitan is the wrong direction for the industry to go, I express that opinion. Nothing wrong with that, especially since you do the opposite by so zealously marketing Cosmopolitan. And it's easy to notice one of your submissions; your domain is instantly recognizable, as is your username.

Basically, Cosmopolitan may be radioactive to me, but that doesn't mean I won't express my opinion about it when I see a submission about it, and that does not mean I'm "following" you; it just means I'm an opportunist.

If expressing my opinion of your software makes you unhappy, that's not my problem, it is yours.

I really think a lot of businesses have been propped up by the bull market the last 12-14 years. We are at a point where we are scraping the bottom of the barrel of ideas because all the fertile ideas for "how to use the internet" have been consumed. The internet is interesting in that it democratized creating businesses in probably a way never seen before, a kid with no life experience could teach themselves programming and invent a billion dollar company, how wild is that.
In https://www.sqlite.org/copyright.html they specifically talk about how to use SQLite in a jurisdiction that does not recognize the public domain. And major projects like Android and Safari use SQLite globally, so clearly the legal risks are limited.

Any legal risk, and Hwaci can avoid employing people from problematic jurisdictions (from their POV). I suspect there is a workaround anyway: Hwaci can require any German developers to assign copyright of code to Hwaci, and then Hwaci can put that code into the public domain.

Regardless, Hwaci mention that SQLite is “Open-Source, not Open-Contribution” and also say “the project does not accept patches. If you would like to suggest a change and you include a patch as a proof-of-concept, that would be great. However, please do not be offended if we rewrite your patch from scratch.”.

Fastify has, IMO, a better Typescript story than any other framework, particularly with Fastify 4. I also prefer Fastify's ergonomics around plugins as scoping to Koa's Connect-derived approach, and I don't really love having a `ctx` object as opposed to req/res (but that one is purely a taste thing).

For me, if I wanted what Koa does, Express does 90% of it and I already know it off the top of my head. And I don't really want Express because I'll have to reinvent a lot of wheels or stack a lot of sorta-compatible middleware on top of one another (Fastify's ecosystem is smaller but generally pretty cohesive).

Nothing at all wrong with Koa, to be clear--I just don't have a use for it.
Having used fingerprint unlock on an iPhone for a while, it's kind of a pain in the ass sometimes.

* it doesn't work if your finger is even slightly wet, so using it while in the kitchen is annoying (like when trying to consult a recipe.) Even if you wipe your hands on a towel or your pants, it still might not work

* it doesn't work if you're wearing latex/nitrile gloves, like when cleaning, or doing car work, etc.

* it doesn't work if you're wearing gloves, which is a borderline necessity 3-4 months out of the year if you're planning on being outside for more than 5-10 minutes, or if you plan on using your hands for anything while outside. 6+ months out of the year if you're on a bike.

To maybe make the other answers a bit more explicit / layman friendly:

Yes, and if you have a bunch of small pieces of different metals all mixed together, you can very carefully melt one, extract it, then the next, etc by gradually raising the temperature.

But if you take an alloy, e.g. bronze, you're combining ~2 metals of different melting points (copper ~1100C, and tin ~230C) to get essentially a new metal with a usually-middling melting point (bronze ~920-970C). Raising bronze to ~300C will not melt the tin out for you to collect. It's not just a surface area issue either, chopping it up into many tiny pieces / a powder won't melt more out and give you something to collect. None will. It'll all melt at bronze's temperature, and until then it all remains solid.

Similarly, if you melt bronze and then cool it down a bit, the copper won't solidify on its own. The whole solution will solidify around 950C. It's kinda like how salty water solidifies at a lower temperature - it's not that the water is freezing at -1C but the salt is not, that'd be a slush (and wouldn't make much sense anyway, salt is solid at room temperature). The solution behaves as a new "whole".

If you want to separate two alloyed metals, you generally have to chemically bind some to something else so it comes out of solution in a way you can capture. Then you can skim it off / extract it from the bottom / etc. One less-visually-obvious strategy is to just keep the alloy hot and exposed to the air, so some of it oxidizes and comes out as slag - that's chemical separation using oxygen. It works pretty well for gold, because unlike many metals gold does not oxidize.

You can also sometimes let the metals separate themselves by density by just letting it sit while melted..... but you'll be fighting against any internal currents set up by temperature differences, so it's difficult, imprecise, and slow to do in practice. But for some combinations and equipment it's feasible.

There are many such tools from third parties. But IMO, YAML is not a programming language. It's a language for defining configurations, but that's not the same thing.

AWS has their own Cloud Development Kit (CDK) that works with multiple real languages. So you can do things like loops, or conditionals. Kinda hard to do that with plain YAML.
The three x4 links aren't sharing equally. One gets half bandwidth, two get a quarter each, when contended. If you're trying to read data off three drives, it's going to appear like one is twice as fast. But then you try to reproduce reading data off one drive at a time, and they all work at the same speed.
So I should stop using dd as a text editor, is that what you're trying to tell me?
Hit shows are hard to make. Seinfeld was considered a dud at the start. The same situation with MASH. Had they been judged by the public initially they would have never been green lighted. A show needs to find it's audience and the writers and actors need to find their groove. It's very hard to do it from the start. Also what seems like a great show from the pilot might be a one time hit and go downhill from there.

Also, generally speaking people don't know what they(we) want. It's hard to like something you've never seen. New shows are full of new stuff so how can the public make a good evaluation after a 1/2 hour or even a full hour.
+1 to this. I made some websites for hire in my earlier days and really enjoyed using Kirby. It was simple to setup, simple to host, and then simple to teach the clients how to update the content themselves. I just checked there and one of them is still going strong nearly 10 years later.
> We've also had prices being out of whack with fundamentals for decades, that is also nothing new.

isn't this a bit more complicated than that? for example in housing though the prices are propped up by the tech companies (and startups), which can pay all those high salaries thanks to their valuations and cashflows (which are fueled by cheap credit, eg. credit cards). but also low rates allowed people to get bigger mortgages. so in that sense the fundamentals (cashflows) are there, but things with limited supply blow the fuck up, whereas wages barely moved up in comparison, and PCE was slightly below 2% (which was the target).

> There are a lot more crazies in power.

very underappreciated risk.

> At some point the cyclical game that we're in with engineered recessions, low rates, low risk premiums, cheap money, insane valuations, asset bubbles, etc has to break.

yes, but also these valuations are so high because the expected cashflows are also high, because almost everything (not just tech) is global and the world got a LOT richer (eg China)

the risks are structural (politics, eg. wars, crazy tariffs, brexit), but the potential for solving them are too (easier migration [eg Japan], more trade harmonization [US-EU], education and healthcare reform [US])
Is the idea that they chop your hand off?

Any arguments about security they make are pretty weak given how badly they screwed the pooch on NFC.

Unfortunately when it's "stolen", you can't be issued a new fingerprint. Worse, you leave them everywhere. I think it would be naive to believe this won't become a method of committing fraud, perhaps even a common one.

This article set off a lightbulb as a possible explanation for the prevalence of osteoporosis in older Asian women.

If the mechanism is:

unfiltered sunlight -> Vitamin D production -> increased calcium absorption -> decreased risk of osteoporosis;

then in many Asian cultures, the desire for women to have fair skin, cover up as much as possible, use sunscreen judiciously, and even use umbrellas when going outside; would certainly cause a Vitamin D deficiency and increased risk of osteoporosis by old age.

Has anyone measured if this is possible?

10x or not, you’re ready to reframe your role in your company. Perhaps in your industry too. However I find it interesting that you didn’t come out saying “I think I want to find a new job.” Like there’s something keeping you at this job - you like something there. I’ve felt similarly alone at my company and I’m no doubt at least a 2x engineer in my architectural engineering capacity. Here’s the bottom line - psychedelic medicine helped me with anxiety and depression. I still get frustrated with slack-jawed engineers assisting me but ultimately I find satisfaction in the tight execution of a project even when they feel like layups. It’s not trivial work - there are new challenges but I had to adjust my mindset to see them. I wanted challenges to look one way, but with a wide angle psychedelic driven perspective, I see that they’re nearby but not what I expected. Moreover at the end of the day, I have rapport at my company. I’d need a pretty strong sense to leave a good company that respects me for some place that pays me more to scramble like a beginner all over. That’s not the chapter of my life that I’m writing right now. Feel free to write your next chapter outside of the office.
