Eh, I was semi-addicted to heroin, and I can testify - hell, I can give you a list of usernames from memory - that that's absolutely endemic on Wickr. It's the #1 go-to location for it[0]. It's not just 'virtuous' stuff like medical marijuana and abortion pills. I wasn't remotely surprised to read any of this.

And I will bet you, at any odds you like, that the harms done by heroin (uh, 'medical diamorphine') and other opioids outstrip the few virtuous uses a hundredfold.

I got a 4K display and regret it. Going back to 2K because 4K:

- requires lots of wasted processing power
- hard to see without messing with fonts (again, more processing power)
- have to zoom in to work with pixel precision
- not many programs/games actually support 4K resolution
- older games look terrible
- only good for LOOKING at photos, rarely actually editing (again, because of constant zooming)
- probably good for 4K movies, but 4K BDs are almost impossible to watch on a PCs
I'd move to 2K CRT.
Oh huh, you're right. That's so strange, I tried that originally but it didn't work for me.

> You're looking at it purely from the perspective of a consumer, which misses pretty significant parts of the picture. Someone needed to get paid to produced a lot of that content, and in many cases they won't have the revenue to do that without a paywall.

And nothing is stopping businesses from implementing an actual paywall, such that you must log in to see the content. Under such a model nothing short of actual copyright violation, i.e. somebody with access to the content making it available elsewhere, would make it possible to see the content without paying.

If content producers truly care that we don't "bypass" their paywall, the solution is trivial. Log in to see. No login, no see.

What we learned in studying the most effective founders
It sounds like you might be a future version of me!

We are an adtech startup in the hundreds of millions per day right now, expecting billions per day by the end of the year. Management would be happy if I said I have a plan for tens of billions.

Cool, but I couldn't resist rakufying your "deflate" subroutine:

sub deflate($power is copy, $rate, $years) {
$power *= 1 + $rate for ^$years;
$power * 100
}
sub MAIN(:$rate = 0.0225, :$years = 10)
{
print qq:to/EOF/;
After $years years of deflation at a rate of {$rate * 100}% per year,
purchasing power is &deflate(1,$rate,$years)% of what it was initially.
EOF
}

Which I think reads quite a bit better :-)

Thanks, I understand the experiment as described. But if you start by asking "what makes a pig optimistic", you're already assuming that a pig can be optimistic. Whatever reason you find after that to say that the pig is optimistic is going to be wrong, because you have failed to do anything to justify the idea that pigs can be optimistic in the first place.
Im not seeing the "stream processing" piece here.

Looks like they went from polling an RDBMS to some triggered querying of scylla, and then on to polling scylla.

i.e. they went from polling an RDBMS to polling Scylla. They didnt replace kafka with anything so now their implementation isnt reactive.

This is effectively no different that implementing a message queue in a database, with all the negatives that brings.

They are sharding for each consumer to prevent multiple consumption due to lack of locks. What if a consumer goes down? How does it manage its own state? All things managed by kafka (or pretty much any MQ) out of the box, and now they have to implement ALL of that themselves - none of which is mentioned in the article.

AFAIK l4se focussed on verifiability and simultaneous performance (with actual customers in defense I guess). L4RE seems more focussed on application (one being the simk3 'merkle phone') . So I wonder which part of inspiration comes from seL4 and which part from L4 in general . Especially can you elaborate the shortcomings of the general design in terms of user land (I only had to build a toy OS on l4 in a practical course more than 15 years ago at liedke's OS group just after he passed away so suddenly. We obviously never got to the nasty parts.)

> They're spending up the wazoo on Xbox, still, to battle PlayStation.

Microsofts decision to release all of their new XBox games on PC was kinda bizarre to me. It basically guarantees the XBox as a gaming console is going to lose market share to the PlayStation and eventually die out because the core gaming market is going to pick PC + PS5 + Switch (or some subset of those) as the sensible combo to be able to play all the games on.

XBox as just a game publishing brand can never be as big of a deal as being one of the three major consoles.

Meanwhile the Switch totally justifies it's existence with cool hardware decisions and good exclusives. And the PS5 with kinda unique hardware decisions (the really fast SSD actually enables cool stuff, the dualsense triggers feel a bit more of a gimmick to me) but mostly good exclusives.

But hey, maybe I'm missing something here.
Jumping Flooding Algorithm (JFA) gives very good results but you need to do a multi-pass render. If you want a single pass solution and let the GPU handle most of the work you can render cones[1] using an Orthographic view matrix. It is also super fast thanks to depth buffer optimizations.

> It's a memory, not speed, optimization

I assumed it was a speed optimization too, since a goto is faster than creating a whole stack frame and then destroying it again. Is that not the case?

By “inside a loop”, I meant a loop that is independent of the function, like this:

function foo() {
if (…) {
foo();
}
}

for (let i = 0; i < 1000000000; ++i) {
foo();
}

Here it won't cause a stack overflow either way (if foo is used on small data), but I'd assume that the loop would amplify the effect of even a small performance optimization.
I think this is a very negative and old-fashioned opinion, especially within HN that is usually focused on 'disrupting the industry' and 'innovation'.

Every day we see a new project written in the latest 'cool' language, and it receives praise and encouragement, yet try to suggest that a new audio plugin format has value and it's knocked back because 'industry standards'.

Just to give one simple example, if Native Instruments were to add CLAP to Kontakt player, and suddenly orchestral samples could have more variance per note, making the realism better - there would be huge demand from composers.

Would they switch DAW ? Maybe not for their current work, but you can guarantee it would have a lot of interest and they would be pressuring companies to add it.

For too long, audio software has been stuck in the monopoly of a few big companies. It's absolutely time to disrupt that even more and open it up to more independent developers, in the same way open source has helped in other industries.

Rather than doom CLAP to not being adopted, perhaps look to the benefits and help encourage diversity and change.

How many scenarios are there where the rename both matters (beyond taste and philosophy) and is across interface boundaries?

Surely if it is an advantage to rename once in a ginormous, single code base there must also be leaky abstractions, poorly defined interfaces, god objects, etc present at the same time?

Whenever I find I need to rename anything across domains, it's a matter of updating the "core" repository and then just pulling the newest version.

The application writers and the approving authorities can't make whatever rules they want. I think that if there is anything outrageous in the planning application, and it gets approved by the local authority, it can still be challenged in a court.

I am certain, for example, that if the planning application would include a clause banning e.g. blacks, LGBT, or non-Anglicans from buying a property, this would be shot down later, even if approved.

The question is, whether limiting current homeowners from buying a property would stand up to the courts' scrutiny or not.

> questionable tools (with large shadows) such as Bazel and gRPC,

Bazel and gRPC, whilst both saddled with problems stemming from Google's inwardly-focused engineering culture (and also just some sub-optimal historical decisions) are not "questionable tools" in the sense that they solve the wrong problems or something else solves the same problems much better.

Blaze/Bazel (and its various clones like Buck) are basically the only general purpose build systems out there that even attempt to do the basic tasks of a build system, namely actually figuring out what has changed and needs to be rebuilt. So of course they are gonna use it, nothing else comes even close (and the main downsides don't apply to them).

Similarly, gRPC has a lot of warts in both how its encoding, type system, API and transport work. But anything in that space that doesn't completely suck (such as cap'n proto) is basically a clone of the core design. Again what else even attempts to solve the core problem of having some backwards/forwards compatibly reasonably efficient rpc, messaging and data storage?
Tesla Tops List of Crashes Thought to Involve Driver-Assistance Technology
Fat tire ebikes are a dime a dozen nowadays and becoming the new favorite way to traverse across town. It is absolutely the most convenient riding option that can even replace a car. However, if you have to ride on hill terrains, or replace your car with it, you need a powerful fat tire ebike. Like a 750W one!

According to the latest NPS regulations, American citizens can now register 750 Watt electric bikes for their daily lives. Thus, getting the best 750 watt electric bike is now a significant decision to hit the road. Even though many people know this, they still don't understand why those ebikes should be 750watt. Here I will explain about that.

They're Fast
The first reason why you should ride on a 750 watt ebike is that it will be really fast. You can crank its speed at about 20 to 28 mph (32-45 kph) on dirty or rough terrain. On the contrary, you can reach a speed of 30 to 35 mph (48-56 kph) on a flat or downhill road.

Heavy Construction
When you own a good 750 watt electric bike, it comes with a heavy-duty construction to withstand rough trails. Normally, the manufacturers would make ebike with anodized aluminum, carbon, and other high-end materials, which help you push its limits and get the best out of it.

Go on Any Terrain
Another great thing about 750 watt electric bikes is their perfect combination of gorgeous appearance and accessibility. Whether you're riding on harsh hill trails, cutting through sand or snow, or just commuting for daily work, they fit in just fine.

After all this, we need to come to the most important question: which are the best 750 Watt fat tire electric bikes? The answer is Magicycle!!

As a newcomer to the fat tire ebike world, Magicycle ebike sets a new high bar for what consumers can expect from a sub-$1,800 electric bike.It's not only the 750Watt motor that has us so enamored with this electric fatty, but also Magicycle has managed to make it full of sleek features and extras that you just can't see on most bikes in this field. It's got a colored LCD display, with which most ebikes are not equipped. Moreover, The Magicycle ebike's motor is 52V, the most powerful one compared with those of other brands. Powerful as it is, you don't need to worry about the energy consumption due to its fast-charging charger, with which it only takes 3-5 hours to fully charge a Magicycle ebike. What a crazy device!!

The teleology is just shorthand, scientists aren't actually assigning agency. It's still possible to discuss drivers of selection pressure though, sometimes just easier (especially in sci comm) to explain some things quasi-teleologically. There's a number of ways to test how much 'chance' is involved. For example take independent emergence of a novel trait across many different taxa. Or take difference that emerge after a genetic bottleneck, like when a very small founder population establishes in a new isolated habitat. In the case of a giraffe neck, probably not that parsimonious that such a distinct feature would just arise due to drift.
