Neat side fact about the Akron Airdock[0]: at some point in the past each 600-ton door on the end needed a drive replacement. My grandfather's company was called in to fix it, but the cost to replace it to spec was too costly. I don't recall the exact specifics but the engineer on the job told me the original opened the door in under 8 minutes. To lower the cost of the replacement they put in a smaller drive but it takes something like 20-30 minutes to open the door. I suppose this video could be used to estimate the total time[1].

I don't know Tesla's shift pattern, and if it's indeed 42 hours, I agree that there's probably not a lot of functional differences between a 40 hour week and a 42 hour week, particularly if the 42 hour week has shifts laid out in a way that makes sense.

So I may have been wrong about Tesla itself, but there's plenty of companies of all stripes that go significantly above 40 hours a week, even in contexts where there have been studies demonstrating reduced productivity when working 50+ hours.

I'm not necessarily saying Tesla is absolutely wrong here, just that the argument that "well Tesla is doing it, and they know their business, so they must be right" is BS - companies are routinely wrong about how to optimize productivity.
> Graphics do not really matter. Do they?

> The quality of the graphics seems to be the most important point in a game.

> However, let’s not be assertive: there are still a lot of players, usually not the casual ones, who also consider playability, the scenario, and how much time you need to finish it, the presence of a multiplayer mode… to evaluate a game completely and fairly.

I have a gap of around 10 years in my videogame playing history. After resuming, the difference that struck me the most is how immersive videogames are nowadays (of course, there are many factors, e.g. the genre), which is partly due to graphics advancements.

Graphics don't live in the void though. They're part of the art design and they're a mean of expression; overall, they help providing an immersive experience for the player.

Beautiful graphics also are not relegated to AAA 3D games (which are a narrow segment of the market) like one would think (since AAA games have the most exposure to casual readers/gamers); many indie games have beautiful (in different ways) graphics.

> “Oh, it is so ugly”, “They did not age well” for the more diplomats.

I think I've never read this, referring to graphics. In general the aging refers to game mechanics which that considered annoying and obsolete today, e.g. permadeath (where not intended), lack of convenient checkpoints etc.
Oh wow, thanks for the run down Hadn't heard of any of them, but now I'm more interested in visiting for sure. Also seems like you have some good transit projects underway.

I'm in Vancouver, lots of specialty shops here, and some that are more low key. If I just want coffee, I have a decent home setup, so that's my usual, but I spend a lot of time working out of JJBean.
Your Head Hurts. But Why?: Dissonance, coherence, and labeling.
I won't comment on GraphQL itself. But GraphJin builds an internal graph of your db relationships, etc and uses that to write a single efficient query. Even if you have a deeply nested query, insert or update it will only result in a single efficient SQL query. Additionally we also support GraphQL subscriptions out of the box and soon, defer and async as well allowing you to build live updating apps using the same GraphQL queries.
Two died when the Macon itself was lost in 1935.
I’d start with search queries like “algorithmic trading {languages,software}” and figure out which language your potential users are using. E.g. quick search shows that java/c++ are used in HFT, while python is used to quickly test ideas. Also check if your code may be ported to trading platforms, used by people who are not into full-blown programming and/or wheel reinvention. Or if it exists there already.

”This sounds like a typical US thing. Suffering from a solveable problem, while creating the maximum public drama and having the society incapable of reform as a sort of greek-tragedy-background chorus humming nimby.”

I think you’re mistaking media hysteria for actual truth. I’m not surprised since social media feeds off articles like this.

California is semi-arid with a massive water source, it’s not Israel, which is actual desert and relies on hostile neighbors for most of its fresh water.

In CA we have so much water farmers can just flood fields. We have so much water we save some so the smelt can still spawn (which this report specifically mentions - save water so we can release a bunch for the fish). We have so much water that in many years we dump the extra into the ocean because our reservoirs are full. We have so much water it’s dirt cheap.

When supplies run a bit low, we cut back by doing extra big loads of laundry, turn the tap off when we brush our teeth and the world is right. A few lawns turn brown, SFers pat themselves on the back for their environmental righteousness while farmers continue to use 8x the amount of water for agriculture that all the combined households do.

Nobody is dying and nothing changes because it doesn’t have to change, at least not drastically. We’re drowning in water and when supplies drop a little we act like we’re all going to die of thirst. Worst case scenario the government tells a few almond farmers they can't have their water. The price of almonds goes up 5% and we don't have to feel guilty about washing our cars.

I'm not sure how different it is to the git version but there are always recent updates.
This is a cool site, and I use a lot of these open source products. But let's not forget, when operating at scale, using a commercial version of these products becomes the right choice.

While OSS InfluxDB is a great piece of software, we need HA and other features which are only available via their commercial version. You can administer a group of peoples vaults with 1Password, I don't think you can do that with Keepass.

I guess all I'm saying is that there is a time and a place for everything. And there's nothing wrong with paying people for good software (or how else would we make a buck).
Thanks for sharing.

Also, gross.
Author of GraphJin here, I agree Hasura is pretty great as well.
I don't think that's the core disagreement at all. You're being too unspecific about what "from" you are talking about. :)

All the YouTube.com DKIM signature says is that YouTube.com did in fact author this content. Which is true!

ARC and SPF (both present on this message!) indicate that the last hop was not YouTube.com, and who the last hop was! So all the information you were asking for is in fact present here.

What you are suggesting is just a different phrasing of your prior suggestion: that people should not be allowed to forward email. And given this message has an ARC header that indicates it was forwarded, and from whom, it seems really strange to me to say that instead of messages that indicate they were forwarded, you think we should just ban forwarding entirely.

Maybe the problem is on Gmail's MUA: maybe this should be more prominently shown to the user as a forwarded email?
Wow this belongs on /r/titlegore
I don’t think breaking up their endowment is the solution to anything. What makes them a cartel is their prestige. Their prestige attracts the best students (and the onus shouldn’t be on them to break the cartel, they have very little leverage), because the college will unlock the best careers, because recruiters (private or academic) will require those credentials, and it makes sense to require those credentials because the colleges attract the best students (so you get a better hit rate when recruiting). So it’s a cycle.

I don’t think endowment funds make any significant difference. The best students don’t pick a college on the basis of the quality of their AV equipment, financing is available through other means. The quality of the education in the best colleges isn’t great either. Publishing academic papers doesn’t make a professor a good teacher. And the base curriculum is more or less the same everywhere anyway.

So prestige is what holds the whole thing together. And I think the elite universities are working hard at destroying their prestige, by alienating half of the population with their political militantism, and pushing ideology over merit in their grades and recruitment. I certainly lost any respect for those institutions myself, despite having graduated from some of them, and have a policy of disregarding university names when recruiting (I typically don’t trust any credential anyway on any other line of a CV).

So to me the solution is let nature and competition run their course.
I'm curious how the performance of the two (grpc-go and connect) compare in benchmarks in terms of memory usage and so on. I know there is fasthttp in Go which sometimes people use as an alternative to net/http for performance sensitive code. https://www.sobyte.net/post/2022-03/nethttp-vs-fasthttp/

I also presume there are some reduction in bugs simply by reducing the LoC in this project compared to grpc-go.
Yes, Firefox is also doing the same, however due to the nature of Firefox's processes, the OS doesn't lose much responsiveness or doesn't feel bogged down when I have 50+ tabs open due to some research.

If you need security, you need isolation. If you want hardware-level isolation, you need processes. That's normal.

My disagreement with Google's applications are how they're behaving like they're the only running processes on the system itself. I'm pretty aware that some of the most performant or secure things doesn't have the prettiest implementation on paper.
“In February this year, German Green economic affairs and climate action minister Robert Habeck said that gas storage facilities owned by Gazprom in Germany had been “systematically emptied” over the winter, to drive up prices and exert political pressure. It was a staggering admission of Russia’s power to disrupt energy supplies.”
+1 to that additionally there is nothing like subscriptions, defer, async on the REST side of things. These are really great capabilities to have towards building snappy data rich apps.
Better except that it completely and fundamentally breaks the internet as a side effect.
Why would California agriculture conserve, when last week in Long Island, NY we were enjoying California cherries at 5.99/lb?

Is this (or similar models) able to provide a list of the original input images that led to the output?

I assume from the "this X doesn't exist" genre that these are in some sense new creations, but I'm slightly suspicious that they're just a real photo with some very subtle tweaks. Is there a write up that dispells this notion and/or addresses the legal/copyright aspects?

How different does a face need to be from an original before you can legally use it in pornography seems like a question that will come up soon if it hasn't already.
If HTML didn't have a <form> tag, then HTML and the web would still be a fairly marginal technology, and something else most likely would have existed where all these problems occurred. Maybe we'd all be complaining about how IRC is radicalizing people or something.

A repository full of static documents isn't really all that interesting. That's basically a library on a computer. Even in the very earliest days of the web, people were drawn to interactivity, whether it was early online stores, web forums, or even little interactive bits like comment sections on blogs or things like livejournal.
Sublime does this incredibly well. I’ve got windows open with notes that I created a couple of years ago and haven’t explicitely saved. They’ve survived restarts, Sublime upgrades, whole-OS upgrades and everything inbetween.
And when the automation fails or the vehicle malfunctions who will take on the liability?

And the liability is inherently far greater than ground vehicles.
For example, right now it’s practically impossible to accidentally drive a ground vehicle, certainly not something less than a ton, into highly sensitive places like the pentagon/nuclear weapons storage facility/military base.

But it’s very easily imaginable that an automated aircraft less than a ton could fly itself into such a place, accidentally or intentionally, and cause a serious kerfuffle.

Or to put it another way, it’s thousands of times more costly to protect airspace from intrusion than ground space.

To cover the possibility of the owner being unable to pay out to cover the costs of disruption, liability insurance similar to car insurance would likely be mandatory, just thousands of times more.

If flying vehicles became deregulated and instead had a mandatory minimum insurance requirement for $1 billion of liability then it’s effectively the same. Because that’s the realm of very serious folks with large legal teams anyways.
Yeah. I the end is the only thing Jenkins do for me.
I'm usually a big fan of Paul Ford's articles but this one seems a bit off.
"I see this idea on HN all the time and I have no idea what it means. This is not a thing. How could it possibly be a thing? What scenario are you imagining exactly? Can you point to a single example?"

At least a quarter of all viral videos of the last 10 years are in the "hey, look at that incredible idiot" category, regardless of actual activity of said idiot. Driving, dancing, singing, acting, speaking, fighting, working with tools, cursing, having public meltdown etc. There are entire fora dedicated to "epic fails".

I don't have either the time or even will to dig in the swamps of Dagobah that is the modern social network world, but flirting is just another activity some people suck in and it does not have any magic exception against shaming. I have definitely seen a lot of screenshots from dating app conversations going badly.

Pre-smartphone world, "epic fails" were a strictly local and quickly forgotten phenomena, unless you were a high profile person (an important politician or sportsman like Eddie the Eagle or Maradona with his Hand of God). The technology has been a great equalizer and a single instance of bad/failed/dumb behavior can now dog you for life even if you are nobody.
I hope someone would create a tutorial which is using a toy programming language to compile to webassembly from scratch. Using existing language is too opaque to understand anything.

OpenMountain is a decentralized non-fungible token (NFT) commercial marketplace for purchasing NFTs. In reality, OpenMountain brands itself as high-quality and cheap marketplace for NFTs. As such, it’s worth taking a closer see at OpenMountain and its features. In addition, this article clarifies how to utilize OpenMountain, as well as what NFTs are. The distinction between fungible tokens and NFTs is that they have special characteristics and identifiers and are not conversely.
Author of GraphJin here, thanks for all the comments on here. It's a labour of love for me over several years. Today it's so useful to me and other that I'm probably going to work on it forever.

Space Station 14 [0], which is the remake and spiritual successor to Space Station 13, mentioned elsewhere in the thread.

SS13 is a wonderful game, but it's so old and its codebase is so messy that people have been trying to remake it for years. Attempts had mostly gone nowhere until all of a sudden SS14 took off with a few dozen OSS developers. Now they're making fantastic progress (see [1]) and have a game that isn't just playable, but enjoyable! (Not to mention being almost completely on-par with SS13 at this point, with several distinct maps and hundreds of items ported over.)

IIRC most Mikrotik products lack hardware IPv6 offload which is probably why you're seeing lower speeds.
Sorry, fair point. To me, they are basically the same thing: wealth concentration happens because of wealth extraction. And if anybody, billionaire or otherwise, believes a capitalist free market system allocates resources/wealth perfectly correctly to those who provide the most value and deserve it the most, then they are wrong, and by just by being wrong, they are complicit in the wealth extraction process.
Good point. Unfortunately, python and c++ are out of consideration. That said, going with Rust will allow to create 'wrapper' for higher level languages. I guess this should be another metric where Rust wins.
Edit: Just found Py4J and it seems even easier here.
I'd argue that under capitalism the bottom 5% still live better than the bottom 50% under communism. Altough, that doesn't correct for the technological/geographical differences.

If you look at the web3 docs and solidity docs, that gets you 95% of the way! An course can be nice to ease into it.
Also more than music, movies and books.
My experience with guest languages for the last 30 years is exactly the opposite, not only one needs to master the platform, there is also the need to add on top extra tooling, libraries and the occasional dark magic debugging knowledge for the guest language to decipher how the compiler chose to represent the guest language to the platform infrastructure.

Hence why I only play with them to learn about new concepts, but always go back to what gets delived in the box for production code.

I'll be really blunt here. This has a ton of cognitive dissonance. It just doesn't make sense to be hoping for a partner to find you appealing when you don't have a circle of acquaintances, much less a circle of friends. The question is not why can't you find a partner, it's why haven't you started by making some friends? This is not a healthy thing, even if you're a guy. And it would suggest you're significantly lacking in social experience and practice, which is the foundational base for attracting a partner.

Second, no, men are not so competitive that they're going to try and swoop in and steal your girl. Especially not your friends. Is that how you perceive yourself? Is it as something you would try to do given information from a friend? It reads as a big read flag.

A lot of guys don't seem to understand social basics, and perceive attracting a girl as a purely mating / sexual attraction kind of dance. Hence the waves of idiots sending pictures of their penises. So many men seem to think they can almost hypnotize a woman with a projection of being a good provider mate and that's how you seal the deal.

You have to start by being someone she would like to befriend.
So what's the norm in Europe, in contrast?

GraphJin can be used within your own http handlers (REST) sort of like an ORM. Or you can use the @script directive to add a JS script to handle the before and after of the request.

Here's an example of a relatively complex query that you'd need when building something like a blog. GraphJin will compile this nested query into a single efficient SQL statement.
