Weird to blame regulation for how private entities act. Entities whose focus and goal are maximizing profits. I hope I don’t need to give citations for how the basics of our societies economic system works. Though I’m sure we can find “experts” at hundreds of think tanks simping for big business disagreeing.
So there might be a connection between superdeterminism and fascism? Could you elaborate?
It’s a genuine question. Something feels off with Sabine and I can’t exactly figure out what it is.
At the end of the day, it's a browser, not a boot camp. If user re-education worked designing software (and most other things) would be a lot easier.
> just get rid of code review

You’ve lost me there and will never get me back. I can’t abide any workflow that doesn’t put code review as top priority, regardless of remote or in person, sync or async.
> What is the advantage of this in this case?

That you can manage & think of this machine (program/process/container/vm) the same was as every other machine & dont have to ever ever ever ask "what should i do in this case?" or "what's right for this case?" because it's a unified answer that works well & operates the same everywhere.

Uniformity & no special cases. Death to pitiful old ways.
So many raspberry pi projects here today, and so little (zero, 0) Pis available to buy :/
For anyone who knows history, this is the least surprising outcome :-)
There's an in-game marketplace where you can buy a number of cosmetic upgrades and such with "Minecoins", which are sold similarly to other in-game currencies. Looks like $20 for 3500 coins.
this is not for the faint-hearted!

Pi-hole is to pfBlocker as a Raspberry Pi is to a custom-built router
Thanks for your nice comment :)
This was what scared me more about the introduction of DALL-E than technological displacement. It was the idea that not long from now, humans will normalize a culture that consists of asking each other for keywords (since we could change our opinions and attribute the value of creation to them) and the distrust of constantly questioning if the user being interacted with was human, and has any connection with the essence of who humans have been for the millennia up to now.

Culture is not something that can be easily undone the longer it goes on, especially not if what drives it are easily replicable digital models and dual-use technology, as well as an excess of optimism.

Just a few days ago I watched a segment on Nickelodeon educating children on the limitless capabilities of the metaverse. Footage of elementary schoolers with Quest headsets strapped on was being broadcast. They were all smiling.
not Microsoft, but i can't login into web version of VK anymore because they started requiring adding phone number to existing accounts
Macs are not PCs.

PCs are general purpose computers, the opposite of Apple ecosystem's walled garden.
Could you MITM and inspect for dns request packets?
Pretty much. I bought the game ~10 years ago and didn't want to migrate to a Microsoft account, but I have no recourse. They don't care. So I can't play anymore even if I wanted to.
If "paren matching used to be an example of why you needed to use a push down automata instead of a regular language", isn't that intended to say that this is not the case today? If we change "language" to "expression", then I agree and don't have anything to add. The scope of "regular expression" has increased, in informal usage, but (I strongly suspect) "regular language" still means the same thing as before.
At the same time, I think that more than 90% of people that I know have absolutely no idea how to read a URL, and are not going to learn. I think that just showing the domain for them wouldn't be so bad. I don't think I'm the target audience for this browser.
You're the one using the term white trash. In fact you're the ONLY person in this thread that used that term.

Maybe that's what you see when you look at those pictures? That makes you the bigoted one.
Of course. Pay is always set as low as possible to retain the right level of employee. If the market for engineers in the US is higher than Europe (it is) it will pay higher.
Is there an open Minecraft clone? Because this is getting kind of ridiculous…
From a microservices perspective, wouldn't you make a microservices to host that logic instead of copying the code for it everywhere?
> How much credit to due to the company for picking?

Lots. Firstly for becoming a place people want to work. Secondly for sifting through all of those people.
The thing to look at is the excess death rate.
I couple PiHole with a pfsense router. In pfsense all DNS queries are blocked except to my pihole. This thwarts an IoT device or streaming devices, etc., from bypassing pihole. Then I block known DoH servers on both pfsense and pihole---which is not perfect, since it's really a game of whack-a-mole, but better than not.
My wish/dream has been that realistic tech is so mature they're no longer spectacles. I felt "tentpole" movies were getting there before Marvel kicked off. Instead the focus is either on story or stylization. I love that in Turning Red they billowing smoke will dissipate into clumping bubbles and they adopted a lot of anime styles into 3d. Effects like smoke, water, and fire are the easiest to focus on. 2d animation has done a lot of this for decades; Malificent's dragon breath, Genie's smoke, Akira's effects.

I think CG sequels, especially as far apart as Toy Story 1 and 4 (24 years!), are a unique thing. It has to be familiar and consistent with previous movies that used older tech, but they can't make a new movie using 24 year old tech, either.
why are all these comments so negative? I, for one, am very excited that talented developers and designers are reimagining such a core part of everyone's daily workflow. The embedded calendar / music player (along with auto archived tabs) is very cool - not sure how well it'll work in practice, but it's clear the team has put their heart into this. And more competition for Google/Apple is always good.
Wikipedia puts the CF6 from a 747-400 at 4.27m long, 2.69m diameter. An RB-211 looks to be a little narrower and longer. Cargolux puts the biggest rectangle that can fit through the main cargo door at 3.05m x 3.10m. So yeah you could probably fit an engine in a nacelle and fixture through the main deck door on a freighter.

However your big limitation will be height at either 2.44m or 3.00m depending on where on the main deck you're checking. The lower deck (which is all you'd have available on a passenger 747) has a much lower height limit (an LD-1 has a height limit of 1.62 m).

An engine's just not going to fit inside unless you're talking about something designed for oversize cargo like the Dreamlifter (747) or Beluga (A300) or Beluga XL (A330). Oversized cargo is also the main use case for the An-124/225.

Hey everyone! Stop supporting these corporations. Our money and our labor is what allows these corporations to abuse us.
Hilariously, bringing up search on iPadOS (tap on empty desktop space) shows Tips in its best-guesses, but typing “tips” into search hides it.

It makes me think that we ought to retire the phrase "reinvent the wheel". There's lots of different kinds of wheels and it doesn't seem crazy that you would need to make a new kind. And when people do make new kinds of wheel, they generally meet some minimum bar of worthiness (rather than being say, square).

But I've never seen any improvement to the classic Sheffield stand, save possibly for the sub-variety with the extra bar underneath. Yet industrial designers insist on inflicting their patently inferior "innovations" onto long-suffering cyclists. Especially irksome when it happens in my own city of ... Sheffield! So maybe we should say "reinvent the Sheffield stand" :)
So it's just another Chrome skin with rearranged tabs. Jeezus.
The argument never made sense to me because that's surely not much different from how a private insurance company in the US already operates - you can bet they have a team of actuaries who has calculated the exact point it's probably not worth their money to try to save a patient.
Was he staring at his HP calculator wondering what would happen if the stack was an array
I prefer pikvm instead. They support cheap HDMI to CSI boards that have lower latency. And they don't make you pay for some features like tiny pilot does. This site sounds like a hobby one but it's actually a commercial product.
Google might be mad given the accusations that Chrome features are killed if they lower Google searches.
Actually no. By blocking 53 at your router to anything except your pihole, even a hard-coded IP like 8888 is blocked.
actually, yes
No, and I never said net positive, although I do believe that it is one. The negatives are inherit to anything where people can interact with each other, things like using up your time or things like bullying.
Private endowment or grant money.

It really helps if they have a catalogue of IP they can license
He does sound a bit "out there" but mainstream science says that vegetable/seed oils are safe to eat, so anyone who says they are not is going to be "anti-science."
I recommend opnsense [0] over pfsense. I ran pfsense for 5 years and it is great, but there was some bad blood [1] between the two projects and the community.

But I thought this forced migration was for Java Edition, and that Minecoins were only for Bedrock Edition.
We really goofed as a society on that one. "But humans have ten fingers!" Well, we actually have 8 3-segment fingers and 2 thumbs, meaning you can count a dozen on one hand, and a gross on two, using thumbs as a cursor.

You can also form a set of 12 symbols that is visible from farther away by doing shapes similar to ASL:

1-4: fingers held up

5-8: touching tip of finger with thumb

9-12: touching top of 2nd phalanx with thumb.

Holding down the pinky in isolation is tricky so this kinda favors starting with pinky out as 1, but you could make assorted variants of this system work.

Fractions would be so nice to work with in "dozenal metric".
I don't understand these graphs titled "Branch Predictor Pattern Recognition". What do they mean? Could someone here explain it a bit in detail? Thanks ahead.
I don't follow. You seem to be implying that Amazon would like to reduce their electricity usage. If so, shouldn't they be charging less for the more efficient instance type?
Not really, the compiler did the round-trip into the local variable (memory), I did it via register.

I asked around at the time and someone mentioned that I might have overtaxed certain execution ports or something like that, but yeah that just cemented my belief that x86 optimization is not my cup of tea anymore. Better to spend time learning how to write code the compiler can optimize well.
I found this basically only helped for laptops.

Our phones and smart devices all use either DoH or hardcode a specific DNS resolver. I haven't spent the time going all the way down to re-routing all port 53 traffic, but I doubt it'll do much.

To me the future of the home network is largely dead as long as I can't reasonably manage the software on these devices.
Data collection differences are well-known to the people who produce cross-country numbers. Further, your specific observation about when births are counted in the US is flat wrong. We have 54 ways of doing things. Furthermore, not everything is a conspiracy. Reasonable people do things differently. To suggest these numbers are rigged is glib.
Yes but you still need to cut the power wires from the managed machine to avoid back feeding afaik.
Yeah but back then it was humanly possible to know where the bullshit was and how to avoid it. It’s pretty much 99% of the web now. Try going without HN and only using Reddit from now on and tell me how that works out.
I find two things funny... it might be a local thing (i'm from slovenia) but yeah...

1) gas was ~1.5eur here, then it fell to 1.0eur during the plague, and there were zero price drops beacause of that, and when the price started rising to 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 eur, everybody (farmers, retailers) started complaining about increasing gas prices and how that will result in higher consumer prices (even before we hit the price a year before that).

2) farmers complain about low prices they get from processors (and retailers).. then you want to buy meat directly from them, and their price is usually a lot higher than in-store price (even though there are usually two or more middle-men between them and the store), and you cannot choose anything... want steaks? Want beef thigh? Hah, good luck.. you can only buy 10, 20kg+ of "mixed beef", where 90% is "meat for goulash" (hard, cheap cuts) and 10% bones for soup. So yeah... it's Aldi for me.

Also, there were farmers complaining that they had a bunch of food that they had to throw away because of the plague (eg. contract with school, school closed, a few tons of salad had to be thrown out)... noone offered for people to come buy stuff directly from them at whatever cheap price,.. in the meantime in-store prices were relatively expensive for that same salad.
Not sure about now, but before I'm using pihole, I was using hosts file to block ads and found a significant increase in network latency. Turns out the huge hosts file significantly increased DNS lookup time in my system (>1 seconds).
Relevant quote:

Index-only scans are opportunistic, in that they take advantage of a pre-existing
state of affairs where it happens to be possible to elide heap access. However,
the server doesn't make any particular effort to facilitate index-only scans,
and it is difficult to recommend a course of action to make index-only scans
occur more frequently, except to define covering indexes in response to a
measured need

And:

Index-only scans are only used when the planner surmises that that will reduce the
total amount of I/O required, according to its imperfect cost-based modelling. This all
heavily depends on visibility of tuples, if an index would be used anyway (i.e. how
selective a predicate is, etc), and if there is actually an index available that could
be used by an index-only scan in principle.

So yeah, I don't know if your use case is exceptionally lucky or if the documentation is just pessimistic (or both). Good to know you can coerce the query planner into doing an index scan though.
If you beed to be on time, national flights with Lufthansa for me are close to 100% reliable whereas Deutsche Bahn turned out to be a catastrophe in about 50% of the cases. I still don’t get it: they own the complete network, they control every train on it and arriving on time at a place is like playing roulette. Neither air travel nor traveling by car gives those headaches (especially when you listen to your dynamic GPS that routes around traffic jams).
You can reduce the bad luck a bit by planning longer stops when changing trains, still making pauses longer reduces the attractiveness of trains even more.
Personally, I love taking trains when it works. It is comfortable, fast and you arrive in city centers. Even first class tickets have acceptable prices. But as I usually don’t travel for pleasure, but for business and don’t want to waste my time, German trains have become a no-go for me.
Yeah, natural refrigerants are the way - CO2, hydrocarbon gases, ammonia (in industrial settings), water/steam, and air - these can pretty much cover the entire temperature range that you will ever need in heat pumps.

The natural refrigerants are indeed becoming increasingly popular. Essentially all new supermarket refrigeration systems in Europe are CO2-based nowadays, as an example. And almost all domestic fridges are using isobutane, freezers are using isopentane.

Unfortunately there is a large push behind synthetic refrigerants, because there is a large industry who makes money off selling these compounds and would like to keep it that way.
The EU alone is under half the surface area of US, though, so it's like 3x the population density.
SIMD vectorization is like quantum mechanics, it becomes classical if you look.
Conversely, one of my banks returns a server error if you visit from Chrome. Their "solution" was to put a banner at the top advising an alternate browser.
Do FPGAs not already fulfill this purpose very well? I did 3 FPGA projects (custom networking peripheral, some radar related things) during my inversity time using VHDL and really enjoyed them (apart from the slow synthesis time).

Real chips would certainly provide more room, possibilities and performance - but would also take away from the fast turnaround time that FPGAs provide. And given this run only seems to give people a single shot to get the design right - you want to verify it on a FPGA upfront anyway.
Darn, I was hoping this would be about https://arc.io. I know it's not very popular on hn because "how dare they use my bandwidth and cpu" but I think it's really cool. A viable business model for websites that doesn't require cramming things full of ads.
There are numerous. https://www.minetest.net/ is pretty popular.
Some of them definitely are more like "Falsehoods the client/marketing/sales believe about search." e.g. "Search can be added as a well performing feature to your existing product quickly." Have definitely gotten questions about "why can't you just quickly add search" based on this falsehood before.

I do not see the problem with this, when it comes to account deletion you want to be very careful and this sounds to me like a very reasonable offer.
beyond a slightly different UI, there's nothing you can "reimagine" in a web browser

embedding third-party services is a feature that is prone to break often

Chrome became the #1 because it was technically advanced (faster) but more importantly - endorsed by a search giant
But not game console level software sales. Xbox has 1) recurring revenue from online subscriptions 2) recurring GamePass revenue 3) a huge library of games and gamers who tend to buy many games often. Average software spend for Quest 2 is estimated at $125/user [1], which is a mere 2 games without DLC on Xbox. By contrast I'd be willing to bet software revenue/user for Xbox is well in the hundreds.

I have tried a few different OSes but my favorite by far is unRaid. It’s really easy to setup and maintain and it gave me a lot of really good experience with server maintenance and the whole container ecosystem. I bought a 24 drive server chassis and am slowly filling it up. Up to 80 TB now and I only have to have one extra drive for local backup (I also backup to another box that I do periodically).

Ripcord can cause your account to banned irrestoribly and prevent the phone number associated being used for verification for months. The maintainer is aware of this but does not warn users of this risk at all.

Using a third party client is considered self botting and against the TOS. This part of the TOS are enforced.
Absolutely, the equivalent of cheating is 'not just "consultation"', but in your original message you said "if you consult..." without qualification. And no, you don't get fired for "consulting" alone. Right below you already changed your statement to "they are rules in professional life about how you consult with others". Let's maybe leave it at that? This doesn't seem like a productive discussion and is entering flamewar territory.
"Sometimes the problem can be relatively small, but the timing is unfortunate and it happens right before the election."

It turns out this processing has the magnitude of a rounding error in the uranium lifecycle. Also, not all reactors require it.
Yes, really the only way would be to set up a MITM proxy on your network and enforce all traffic goes through that. Also means accepting a CA.

Those non-features are also a hallmark of a site that hasn't been updated in 25 years -- or at any rate, a site whose tech stack hasn't been. The average quality of web content was probably higher in the 90s, if 'quality' means density of accurate information.

at least according to this article from last year Arc is chromium based.

It's Chromium, but more of a "rework the UI from scratch" than just a skin.

As a parent this is one of my pet peeves as so many services for kids assume/require a phone number.

I’m sure it has nothing to do with me getting so much phone spam as to turn off my ringer.

Microsoft has been a real jerk with the Minecraft acquisition. It would be so much better for users had notch never sold. They are increasing prices, making it harder to start, removing mod functionality, and basically just all bad stuff.
Similarly, someone texted me—technically, iMessages—shipment tracking numbers the other day. Two tracking numbers in three messages.

Message 1: 123456789012

Message 2: Tracking number.

Message 3: 2nd tracking, 210987654321

If I press and hold on the first tracking number, the menu of options is contact-info focused—call, WhatsApp, Add to Contacts, etc. If I do the same on the second number I get an option to Track Shipment. But I can paste both numbers into Spotlight and directly get tracking info. So I'm not certain why one tracking number behaves one way and a second another way.
I read the whole thing, thanks for sharing.

One thing I didn’t understand… if the kernel set grows for every new utxo, then is it possible to match a previous utxo with a newly added utxo by repeatedly trying kernels until you find the one that works for the pair?
Actually CO2 works very well, but you typically run it in a transcritical cycle where there is a gas cooler instead of a classical condenser unit.

I have a 13 year old minecraft account. I've been unable to migrate it because I don't have the transaction ID. I don't have the email (I wasn't very good at managing an inbox when I was 14), and the bank that it was bought with no longer exists, even if they had more than 7 years of records retention. I told support I can provide government IDs for myself and my father (the name on the card, presumably), but I got told, basically, to get stuffed. TID or bust.

My only guess on what to do next is to try to find someone with an inside at Mojang to workaround the user-hostile process, but I've had no luck. If anyone knows how to workaround this, I'd appreciate it.
