Why is a Kentucky newspaper reporting on this? There is probably a deeper story about why this article, and it's particular editorial choices, ended up in that newspaper.
But it's not just one video render. It is one video render per user. People have to build pretty decent rigs to get their single view of the game to render at speed. Multiplying that times the number of players seems wildly expensive for a single machine to do to be a non-starter after 3 seconds of thought.
I actually find that smaller communities on Reddit are pretty good.

Just unsub from all the defaults and find your place.

Talking about Reddit as a whole is not easy. It’s insane how wide it is.
The article is about hiding latency between other people’s input, and your display. While it happens, your own input only has couple frames of latency.

The solution you proposed introduces latency between your own input, and your own display. Unless the server is in your house or at least within 100km from it, that latency gonna make the game unplayable.
Waiting to hear what the gain-of-function research advocates are going to say about this (they've rather gone silent since Sars-CoV2 spread around the world). Should we be using CRISPR to modify different sections of the monkeypox genome to see if we can create as many different variants as possible so we can identify those that rapidly jump from human to human? The argument is, then we would know what to look for if we found it, because we'd have a better idea of which specific regions of the genome are involved in transmissibility...

Specious reasoning at best. The more likely result would be that a laboratory worker would get infected with such a highly-transmissible modified monkeypox, leave the lab, spread it into their local community, and from there modern transportation technology (planes, trains, automobiles, etc.) would ensure rapid spread around the world. This is not a conspiracy theory, just a rational risk assessment (and is now the most likely theory of the origin of Covid-19, like it or not).

Here's the latest scientific research on monkeypox as of 2020, from researchers based in Africa, it's up on sci-hub.se for those who want to read it, and is also a good overview:

Alakunle, E., Moens, U., Nchinda, G., & Okeke, M. I. (2020). Monkeypox Virus in Nigeria: Infection Biology, Epidemiology, and Evolution. Viruses, 12(11), 1257.

Respiratory droplets and contact with body fluids, contaminated patient’s environment or items, skin lesion of an infected person have been found to be associated with inter-human transmission. Congo Basin clade (Central Africa clade) is reported to be more virulent than West Africa clade and thereby contributes more to inter-human transmission.

The West Africa clade is apparently the one involved in this outbreak.
The industry standard is to report an app identifier like app ID or bundle ID or package name in that case
The issue there is probably case form factors in the target market.

If you produce a great solution, but everyone has to source or build a custom case, you probably aren't going to sell many.

I am a big fan of Azure ARM/Bicep. I can’t imagine needing to deal with stateful IaC. Perhaps Azure doesn’t need to do that because it’s able to provide guarantees about their own platform or something.

The actual infrastructure and its configuration is the state. It does a diff to see what needs changing.

Can’t say I’ve have any issues with comments in YouTube. Not that I spend much time in the comments section but when I do read the comments they always work fine.

Maybe the other commenter is on to something regarding extensions. The only extensions I have are ones to simplify management of containers, plus my password manager.
I'm calling bullshit on most of this.

You're making a lot of strong claims that are unsupported or even counterfactual.

E.g.:

> Most cases of myopia (nearsightness), involving progressively worsening vision, are largely due to inaccurate lens prescriptions.

Interesting idea, but what do you have to support this provocative claim?

You argument about minor corrections isn't even logical, which makes me doubt your judgement in any of this.

And it's never a good sign when the citations provided contradict the claims. [1] doesn't support the claims it's attached to. In fact, it says:

"The underlying biological cause of myopia is unknown, and there is no widely accepted means of prevention or cure."

I hope you're not really a practicing optometrist.
Yeah, ask China how well this ‘15 days to stop the spread’ tactic is working out.

The people who are moving out of California are the ones with lower incomes, who do not own homes, and get priced out as they can no longer afford rents.

I would not say that these are the people that "ruined" California in any way. Those who can take responsibility for the state of California are those who have more power and money: the homeowners.

Not going to knock these solutions but at least for Tailscale, if I understand what I read on their web site correctly, I think it's built on Wireguard. I found Wireguard to be easy enough to configure and get working and I'm lazy and cheap.

Since then, I run my web and email servers on an old laptop in my home and the Internet POP is a $3.50 VM plus $1 for a static IP, at AWS Lightsail. This works for me but if I needed to connect a disparate office and devices together I might look at Tailscale or one of these packaged solutions, or maybe not.
Yeah, they do? And why is it silly to remember that you are in the top percentage points of wealth, globally? Seems like you are suggesting we should ignore the fact that most humans still live in poverty?
The total population of top 3 countries only is 118200000. That's a hundred and eighteen million two hundred thousand people.

Total number of cases in all countries as of now sits at 448. I don't think that can be called "a pretty explosive growth" by any means.

Stop spreading the media scare.
The obvious reason is that Javascript is the only language that runs on most browsers (outside of Webassembly, which has its own limitations). If you want to do anything interesting on web browsers, you will have to deal with Javascript.

A more interesting question is, why is Javascript the language that all browsers support? Go back 20 years, and it wasn't actually obvious that Javascript would beat out Flash, or Java applets, or even VBScript to be the main way to get interactivity on websites.

> Assuming the scalpers are able to sell their supply, what they’re charging is the market price.

Are you trying to suggest the situation is somehow optimal? Market prices in short supply situations cause market inefficiencies, and this is one of them. The old platitude is that this inefficiency is only less bad than what would happen otherwise. Of course that thinking is rarely put forth with careful thinking about the alternatives, nor admissions of the many times in history that preventing inefficiencies actually worked.

Wouldn’t it be better if Sony received the market value themselves, and invested the money in the PS6? Wouldn’t it be better if we were not encouraging people who add negative value to the system to create artificial scarcity merely for the purposes of extracting extra dollars? The problem with your argument is that for markets to be free, customers need both choice and access to information, and supply needs to be able to meet demand. Scalpers hoarding are effectively an anti-free-market force on top of inducing inefficiency for profit. It’s a schadenfreudey bonus when scalpers get stuck with supply because they overestimated demand, but that doesn’t actually amount to a market correction, it just adds even more inefficiency, money wasted on top of money wasted.
I did something similar as participant in this study: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.10.29.21265530v...

The effects, with a 60000 lumen setup, were remarkable. Winter depression, which affected me on 2 out of 7 days before enrolling in the study, dropped to zero for the next two months.

The study showed that this lighting setup works as well as those light therapy boxes you sit in front of, and perhaps even better.

What's up with Epics recent give aways ?
I am very much on that case.

I am painfully technical and throughout in what I do and this has me pushed up the ladder usually against my will. My company wild prime me without telling :)

I hate management (and am bomber about that) so I always had a tiny tell and was happy to oblige of someone in said y'all wanted to make and go that path (two successfully did)

I am now an SVP in a very large European company and remind everyone that there is supposed to be a "technical ladder" for people that "lack ambition in management" (said my teenage son about me, he just does not understand how I can mis such opportunities).

Ambition for me is to coach people and always understand what they are saying. Or help to promote the good ones, or help some to realize that management is a pain in the ass when I realize that they are like me (just 30 years younger).

Ambition is not always to get a better sounding title or be closer to the CEO.
Bicep and Azure Resource Manager (ARM) are able to dispense with state only because every Azure resource is required to be individually addressable and to report its state in a consistent way, and each resource is expected to support fully idempotent creation operations. The state information is still there, but it's stored on the resource itself.

Bicep/ARM still has issues with resource deletion, though. The default deployment behavior is to ignore resources that aren't described in a deployment template, so if you remove a VM from your template and redeploy, the VM will keep running until you manually delete it. There are a couple ways around this issue, but they all rely on having state external to the resource itself.

Disclaimer: I work on Bicep/ARM and think it's pretty great, but it's not perfect.

and I challenge the assumption that even physicists know much about gravity beyond "keeps stuff on the ground." We may have general relativity, but it somehow seems to miss something to say physical models of gravity are that well flushed. It doesn't explain something like 80-90% of the gross movements of large masses seen in the universe by astrophysicists. We know a heck of a lot more about the small scale.

But this is a silly point I'm making, I admit ;)
I too create, but very small things and not very often. Things I never show to anyone else, except, sometimes, to my SO. I'm not on any social media platform except here on HN.

Short poems which I write on my phone, once in a month or two. A small utility that does something new and novel once in a couple of months, which is kept on my hard disk and never uploaded anywhere.

These are not enough for me to feel very creative. I try to limit my passive consumption of HN/tv/movies/dev news/games and keep my FOMO in check, but it's difficult.

Ask HN: How do you keep track of everything you have read/watched/listened?
I am tired of vaguely remembering something cool I came across before and not being able to find it. Manual bookmarking like upnext/readitlater are too slow for my desired workflow - I want literally everything I have ever read to be indexed, on desktop, ipad or iphone. Nice to have - also index what I watch and listen to.

I remember that some folks have some kind of pihole thing that snoops the router and scrapes all text to make it searchable but don't really know how to do it. I'm down for that as long as we can keep privacy for each tenant (this is negotiable). Are there any other alternatives?
The premise of this post is that (most?) optometrists are ‘doing it wrong’ - so is there any way for a layperson to vet the quality of an optometrist beyond their basic credentials?
Yup, air travel may accelerate disease transmission across the global, but it doesn't create something that wouldn't happen otherwise.
Aha, thanks, that makes sense. So not a very deep story, but an interesting one nonetheless. Very interested in why a Kentucky Newspaper would syndicate it.
I don’t have any dog in this fight, but one of the points made in this article is that we don’t really understand the Monkeypox genome well enough to know which mutations might lead to greater spread or virulence. So when a new cluster pops up we can’t tell if it’s spreading due to a mutation or if it will have a greater IFR than we expect from past outbreaks. I’m not saying GoF is the right solution to this, given the risks. But it is probably one way to gather this sort of data.
IMO, we're very much past the point at which things have "settled down"... as long as you're not doing web dev or desktop UI dev in Rust. The former will continue to evolve about as fast as JS-land does because it's all web people who have no idea what a sustainable project is, and the latter will take a few more years because nobody has really solved it in any language. (Ask your favourite "cross-platform" desktop UI framework what their accessibility story is; there is one that gets close, it's Qt.)

But like, if you're trying to do something you'd otherwise do in C++? Audio/video processing, or something along those lines? Yeah, it's fine. The common libraries you choose today are likely to be maintained going into the future.
They wanted to know if you can traverse a graph, which is something pretty simple.

I don't see a need for outrage here.
Would be interesting to see numbers on that

Could be that many (or a significant portion) are part of the "tech" elite who has kept a job for the past 2 years and it's optimizing their "costs" by moving to a more advantaged area?

While other people, may be getting better prices now that the bubble is deflating?
That link is just a list of states ordered by obesity.

"Lifestyle effects" of age and obesity have an overwhelming effect on covid mortality, far beyond the smaller effect of vax.

It would be interesting to see the data corrected for bodyweight. Certainly if I moved from CO to MS it would alter the state stats for both obesity and covid outcomes, but have zero effect on my personal outcome, so a list of states ordered by obesity is not an actionable item WRT making personal medical choices.
They're real-time games but over the characters looms an all-powerful controlling entity (like a TurnBasedActionController object) that will only allow one character at a time to think about and execute an action. The others can do fun taunting animations but not much more.

Of course, this is almost certainly bad coding on the website's side, and not the fault of Firefox. But it seems like it's but getting the QA attention it needs from the site owners.

Ask HN: Russian Military and Alcohol?
I was pondering the reported ineffectiveness of Russia’s military, so I did a quick search on alcoholism across the world. According to World Population Review, roughly 37% of Russia’s male population are alcoholics. For those that have served, is alcohol dependency a plausible explanation for Russia’s military issues?
AWS Aurora Postgres supports this to an extent with "clones". You can even clone cross-account. The same copy-on-write stuff applies, so they're relatively cheap and fast. I hope that Google's new AlloyDB will also support it.

https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2019/07/amazon_au...

There are some annoying restrictions, though. You can only have a single cross-account clone of a particular db per account.
Apparently we're not allowed to say obesity is a health risk either, so I'm not surprised about the monkeypox issue.

Apparently science needs to take a back seat to social justice now.
I've never thought of it in that specific way before (although obviously when you're writing the game that's how it goes) and that's a great way to explain it. Thanks!
That’s because Fauci oversees approving research on “pathogens of pandemic potential”, such as the research in Wuhan by EcoHealth Alliance that many believe contributed to COVID.

He’s not an unrelated party — he’s the “CEO” who approved a dangerous idea that got many, many people killed. That executive doesn’t escape blame because other hands did the work: he’s the one responsible for approving such a risky plan.

> Everyone always wants to have an opinion on everything instead of realizing our own ignorance.

Ironic to post this in a comment where you appear unaware of why people connected Fauci to the lab leak.
These arguments are just going in circles but here's why: You can't store metadata on every object in every provider, and often, resource names are restrictive in length and allowed characters. And what if something needs deleted? Now every time you run terraform you need to list every type of object the provider offers and check tags, that's a huge waste of time and bandwidth.

I also lived in the Cambridge, and I am very familiar with the 47 bus leaving from Central. I also biked there a lot, and I can tell you that there were very few times where I needed a car. The only times I needed one was where I was going to the suburbs and the alternative infra is non-existant. For the majority of cases, the T + biking was more than sufficient.

It is not about penalizing car driving. It would be a good start if the US did not subsidize car ownership. It the true cost of car ownership was put on those driving, perhaps cities would be able to finance better public transit...
I wonder why they go with Google. Other companies are a much better fit. Time to untangle themselves.
This comment is absurd to someone living in a small metro area. There should not ever be human shit encountered on a sidewalk. Not once every couple months; never. You've been living in absurdity for so long that you've lost sight of it.

Yeah, as other commenters have said - the curtains are for bright city lights I can't turn off.

Personally, I have a simple electrical timer set to turn on a bright sunlight bulb at 6:30am, and I open the curtains during the day.

You're right on the money about camping and how it affects the body, in my experience. Light obviously isn't the only factor in camping feeling good - but I've also been reading lately that light exposure (and possibly direct sun exposure?) during the day is quite good for you.
Yeah, agreed. Is their any science behind this?
As someone who had three activists as teacher during high-school (two literal communist party member and one conservative catholic) I would never, ever want to have an activist teacher in my life, whatever side: they were biased, blinded by their own ideology, hating on each other. What suffered most was lesson quality. They were too occupied to check themselves for ideological purity than for factual knowledge.

That works fine for simple 3D scenes. One application, that’s how MS remote desktop worked until recently — Windows streamed Direct3D rendering calls to the client.

However, I’m not sure this gonna work with modern triple-A games. The current-gen low level GPU APIs were designed to allow developers of game engines to saturate bandwidth of PCI-express with these rendering calls. That’s too many gigabytes/second for networking, I’m afraid.
In my experience this is more reliable, but there's something off about the color temperature selections available within the Home app. LIFX bulbs have less than great color to begin with (their warm whites feel sickly and sallow), but it has the same problem with Hue. I end up setting colors within the Hue or LIFX app and then going "the color that is currently set" in Home. So not using their app has drawbacks too.
LOL! Let me digress with you right there.

Middle-class, by its inherent virtue, are very mobile and adaptive.

If you all can tell me why, if not for the people, that California is suffering so much (homelessness, drought, wildfires) I am open to a suggestion.
California is going "carbon neutral" by 2045.

I think it's time to admit that the crusade to adopt only wind and solar is premature, despite all the good intentions. Hydro doesn't work where it's dry, and socal is feeling it. We need to be realistic.

In summer 2020, we had blackouts. In '21, we built 6 new gas-fired plants to mitigate that. There's something really off about burning gas, shipping energy over wires, and using it to charge our teslas and feeling good about it.

We've got at least one major nuclear plant scheduled to shut down in 3 years. What then?

There has got to be a better way to do this.
