I don’t think esports is to blame for competitive metas. That’s just the natural outcome if a large number of people want to get really good at the game. Meta’s aren’t artificial. Good luck trying to play chess at a competitive level without understanding the “meta”
It's because genius and lunacy aren't mutually exclusive, and any intelligence sufficiently advanced to be labeled as such is separated from normal intelligence by a wide gulf of differences.
Coding isn’t engineering. Neither is playing with electronics even if you manage to get a product to market. In some countries you’ll go to jail for impersonating an engineer. Used to be like that in the US but of course, that changed and now quite literally everybody is an engineer if you squint now.
One thing I'd like is a cd command incantation that when given a file path, it just changes to the dir containing such file.

It is such a common need (for me at least) that I'm surprised the standard cd doesn't do it already.

I find myself using find or locate, then wanting to change to some file's directory, thus needing to manually delete the file's name before hitting enter. When you do that enough times you start to wish it worked automatically :-)
My next woodworking project will be building a Dutch tool chest. After some searching (too many pages only show the _outside_ of the chest, this page shows you some of the potential of storing and organizing literally dozens of tools in a box you could load into your car.

Show HN: My First Streamlit App Can Analyze WhatsApp Chats
Hi everyone, just finished working on this small project. The app essentially shows statistics of a whatsapp chat. Any feedback is welcome as I consider myself a beginner and am looking for ways to improve the quality of my code :)

Also, what are the specific loads being synchronized that's the problem? Bulk heating in the northeast is generally oil/gas. Are there enough heat pumps in New York to be significant? Or do boiler/furnace pump/blower motors have enough of a draw to cause a problem? Or are they just speculating that when there are lots of heat pumps this will become a problem?

As someone that tends towards a later schedule and generally bumps up against a lot of "early worms" thinking everyone is fully awake at 9AM, I'd cackle with glee if not needing to pay more for peak before-dawn electricity was something that worked out in my favor for once.
Not in rustland.
Do those numbers take into account construction and dismantling costs?
It's a cool metaphor. I think the examples are a bit more of things that you just do though. I don't normally think about having to pee, it just hits me. I don't normally consider going out for ice cream a "to do", I see it as a reward for doing things on my todos.

I can't tell the authors perspective on breaks though. They mention scheduling them are counterintuitive but believe they are needed for diffuse-mode thinking. The reason why the pomodoro technique is so effective and widely used is that we have a natural time limit to our "waves" in term of our active focus before we need a wind-down.

But that's just the default, you can tell it to use dynamic linking. What libraries were you missing? I find the rust standard library is better in many ways, and it doesn't have the same performance footguns.
There are lots of good resources as mentioned by others. Here are some starting points.

Start with a list of ideas
- These ideas should be solutions of problems either you face or you see others face
- Find 10 people you can talk to about your solution and make a list of features
- Pick the core ones and build a functional prototype that people can use and give feedback

Start with a problem (space)
- Look for problems that people complain about or ask questions (an analysis of Ask HN is a good source to start with)

Here is one story I read today (I think I found it on HN!)

https://www.linen.dev/s/linen-community/t/545988/from-idea-t...

Wish you all the best. You already took a good first step by asking a question here.
Or only one bit: rise/fall. Most stories have 2 or 3 bits, some have so many that you can't get a meaningful average.
The entire ledge/cornice above "United States Court House" is dancing.
those aren't assumptions, they are actually the conclusion of countless qualified experts, like the ones who were working double shifts in hospitals that were so overloaded with COVID patients that they had to open up field hospitals or convert entire floors to "bonus COVID wing"

what do you think happens when 1 more covid patient comes in, just a single one? it becomes yet more work for those on the ground monitoring and tending to them, thus making things worse.
Every google feature you replace with a paid feature is one step closer to the internet freezing over. You cut out the big (free to consumer/product) data farms and soon the internet experience becomes like Cable Tv, you pay for channels/features on-top of ISP access.

I don't really have an argument against this happening, capitalism will force it if it's an option. It's worth noting the internet the millenials and gen x'ers built, the internet we grew up on, could be gone forever and we are seeing it start to go now. The free web might become an altogether unpleasant place.

Google's data centres aren't the Borg hive-mind. They are the future glaciers that will be mined for knowledge and ideas much later on.
Having been on a jury in the US one time (attempted murder), the purpose of this system is probably not at all obvious. The idea is to put 12 people in a room and force them to agree to the same thing. You can deliberate almost any amount of time you want. If you try to tell the judge after a single day of delibrations that you are a hung jury, the judge will force you to stay longer. Only in extreme cases where the jury has been hung for a very long time does the judge allow a mistrial.

So the idea is to force 12 people to convince each other of one idea or the other.
"Paper" people need to understand one thing: the real world does not give a shit what your paper stack says. For your paper-based project to have any effect on the real world, you need some physical, trusted party to reconcile the state of the paper with the state of the real world... at which point you may just let the trusted party rely on a good old stone tablet.

When he says the main performance benefit is when games over tesselate, I'd say this is just an invitation for everyone to increase tesselation and bump mapping for more detail.
Why do you need to show that he uploaded information to Wikileaks?

All they need to show is that he had unauthorized access to the information and downloaded that information.
Yes, that's a double failure. And it will be triple when he's locked away - the US will suffer a reputational hit as big as (or even bigger than) the one it suffered from the material that him and Chelsea Manning surfaced.
Sounds like exactly the kind of password an emotionally immature junior employee subject to poor judgment would pick, though.

Whether that's a fair description here, I can't say--but the New Yorker story is certainly internally consistent (and, it must be said, doesn't exactly make the CIA look good, either).
You can do references in Rust. But you can only have one mutable reference to an object at once unless you work around this with locks (Mutex, RefCell, etc). So for anything other than trivial child object references, you can quickly paint yourself into a corner of compilation errors by using webs of references. And this seems to be the basis of a lot of people's frustrations with Rust.

It's true that you also can't do inheritance. But I've found this tends to be less of a problem as most OOP languages encourage composition over inheritance anyway, and composition works the same in Rust as in other languages.
> Validation OS boots into a Command Line environment to increase reliability on the factory floor and supports running Win32 apps

This is the kind of comment that probably will get downvoted here, but it feels pretty weird to be old enough to remember when booting to a command line was normal, and now it's seen as a feature. It's easy to forget when Windows was the shell, not the OS, and that it was simpler and easier on the system to boot to a minimal state and allow the user to escalate from there.
1. Bought a couple of personal domains and signed-up with Fastmail. Configured Fastmail to periodically pull emails from my legacy gmail account. I use the Fastmail webapp on desktop and their android app on phone/tablet.

2. Removed google analytics from my personal website/blog.

3. Uninstall Chrome on desktops and disable it on Android phone/tablet.

4. Use Firefox with Multi Account Containers add-on so that I am by default signed-out of google unless I need to do specific things, which are sandboxed in specific tabs.

5. Paid for Kagi search and set it as the default search provider on my desktops and devices.

6. Migrated a few legacy accounts from Google oauth sign-in to email/password.

Still to do:

a. Migrate my calendars from Google to Fastmail. For various reasons I need to be able to share calendars on Google and I haven't had time to sort this out.

b. Migrate off Google Photos. I take a lot of pics with my phone and google photos is just so convenient. I try to only keep six months of pictures on google and archive the rest to a machine that I own.

c. Google Movies/TV. I have a fair amount of bought content, mainly because its convenient to stream on a tablet. Not sure what the solution is there.

d. I still find google maps useful for a few things - particularly as a way to discover opening hours for businesses. My car has a built-in, non-android, GPS so I don't use google maps for driving.

e. I still have an android phone and tablet, and I'm sure they're still phoning home about me.
You can hot-reload any language that can load a dynamic library. Compile the hot-reloadable portion of your app to a dylib and use a hotkey to reload the lib.
100 years or more is the key here. Post-WW2, things were very good in the US, and getting better in Europe. Now the future does not look so optimistic for the US or Europe.

But sure, it could be far worse.
Crypto is seriously the worst. Huge energy waste. Scams everywhere. Money laundering. Waste of talent.
I built a solution at https://mitta.us/ that lets you submit the sites you want crawled, and puts them in a self-managed index (which isn't shared globally). I don't do link extraction, but instead let GPT-3 generate URLs based off keywords.

!url <keyterms> |synthesize

I also wrote a screenshot extension for Chrome that lets you save a page when you find it interesting. The site is definitely not "done" but it's usable if you want to try it. Some info in help and in commands is inaccurate/broken, so it is what it is for now.

It does the !google <search term> and !ddg <search term> thing to find pages to save to the index. There are a bunch of other commands I added, and there's an ability for others to write commands and submit them to a Github repo: https://github.com/kordless/mitta-community

!xkcd was fun to write. It shows comics. The rest of the commands can be viewed from !help or just !<tab>

I've been working on pivoting the site to do prompt management for GPT-3 developers and have been kicking around Open Sourcing the other version for use as a personal search engine for bookmarked pages.
What I meant to say is that this definitely isn't a safe assumption and performance of this loop will be less predictable. That said, I wouldn't be surprised that such complex JITs as V8 or JSC can detect this scenario.
There's a great blog post[1] by one of the OpenBSD developers about why they did so. tl;dr using bitmasks necessitates namespaced enums/defines that take up horizontal space, strings are easier and don't need to go through the C pre-processor.

By real-world I mean off-chain assets where the source of truth is usually the state of the physical world (as opposed to the blockchain, like it is with cryptocoins).
In unix like user spaces applications have access to a lot of stuff by default (such as the complete filesystem accessible to the executing users and a lot of system calls). For security purposes tighter restrictions would be better. Pledge() and Unveil() allow application authors to opt in at run time to restrict what they can do in the future.

Where does your focus on "cold" come from? These games used a specific color palette with just as many warm and cold colors.
Kind of, it needs the ability to express polymorphism and extend concepts.

Now how that is done is practice, can be done in various ways.

Class inheritance, which is what many think of.

Interface inheritance or conformance, which is available in many languages via traits, patterns, data classes, functors, or other names, and OS ABIs like COM.

Prototype inheritance, clone a instance and monkey patch in place (like SELF)

Via composition and delegation for not handled messages.

Then many languages offer a combination of those approaches.
I would be surprised if you could find one name brand smart thermostat that doesn't have deals with local grid providers to modulate loads during peaks. At its most basic it's just looking up the local Time of Use rates.

They still have benefits (both eco and cash saving) if your local provider is stuck in the stone age, but this is one of the prime motivations for them existing in the first place.

Just because someone is born into poor circumstances without many options for upward mobility doesn't make them stupid. Furthermore, truck driver isn't a particularly low skill occupation. I couldn't drive an 18-wheeler. Can you? And something like taxi driving mostly seems low skill because most adults in industrialized society have been driving since they were relatively young.
We're starting to get to that stage now. We have a UI for Customer Service to manage everything related to a customer at a digital bank. It's becoming quite slow.
> So if people are literally reducing their energy usage during the night as a result of 'smart' thermostats then that's a good thing.

That is a good thing, but the power grid needs enough capacity to meet peak demand, so if these thermostats are making peak demand higher than they might actually be making things worse.
Hah. I was deeply struck by how immature the whole thing sounds.

Nobody here looks good, of course. But even top flight tech companies have this sort of time-wasting, so it's not exactly a surprise you'd find it at a TLA as well.

Similar games others have mentioned aren't necessarily clones of this one--the genre comes from the 1970s:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artillery_game

> Artillery games are two or three-player (usually turn-based) video games involving tanks (or simply cannons) trying to destroy each other. The core mechanics of the gameplay is almost always to aim at the opponent(s) following a ballistic trajectory (in its simplest form, a parabolic curve).

> Artillery games are among the earliest computer games developed; the theme of such games is an extension of the original uses of computer themselves, which were once used to calculate the trajectories of rockets and other related military-based calculations.[citation needed]

> Early precursors to the modern artillery-type games were text-only games that simulated artillery entirely with input data values. One of the earliest known games in the genre is War 3 for two or three players, written in FOCAL Mod V by Mike Forman (date unknown). The game was then ported to TSS/8 BASIC IV by M. E. Lyon Jr. in 1972. Ported again to [...]

> Spontanous reboots for patching

My laptop runs Windows 10 (all my other machines are Debian or Devuan). I have searched, but failed to find any way of preventing this damned OS from downloading and installing updates without asking me. I often get up in the morning to find that all my open windows have been force-closed, because the machine rebooted after an update.

I have no idea what the updates contain; by the time I know about it, it's already installed and running. I don't see much point in reading the release-notes (if I can find them), because they are invariably opaque and full of obfuscation.

And anyway, the updates are unitary; I can't cherry-pick packages or bug-fixes. Win10 is either up-to-date or vulnerable. And "updates" often include new features that I don't want.

I don't know why Windows the OS is so user-unfriendly; possibly because the devs are exclusively focused on enterprise features. I've been using Windows since Win3, but I nowadays find it nigh-impossible to administer my own machine.

I've been thinking of replacing Windows with Devuan on this one hold-out machine for months.

I'm reading a really good book on the history of steam power called "Fossil Capital"[0]. The thesis so far seems to be that access to — and need for — more portable energy like fossil fuels drove the ability to expand. This in turn induced more demand for energy as humans developed further and further away from places that traditionally provided energy in fixed places, like rivers that could power water wheels.

The book ties this into the roots of the idea of infinite growth, as well as the climate crisis. It's a little sad in that respect, but also genuinely fascinating if you like history.

I think it (and the 8 shapes concept) can rather deepen awareness of the complexity of storytelling by giving us a roadmap to recognize and appreciate the nuances of a skilled execution (how did the teller hide the features of the trope? How did they misdirect us? How did they approach the features in a new way?).

Emotional responses to art are predicated on expectations either met or contradicted; more understanding of the structures of a medium leads to more active expectation (especially thanks to the generation of a common language with the artist) which can provide more gratifying depth of emotional response.
How is this even news?

YouTube has enough users that they don't care if you go away. Because if it bothers you enough, you'll pay to stop it.

I subscribe to YouTube Premium and the only time I see an ad on YT is when I'm accidentally logged in as another user.
Also bashing out art is a skill one part learned one part natural. There are lots of little things you can do to make good artwork. There are many tutorials out on YT, which someone in the 90s would have had no access to. Studios could hire 3-4 artists to get everything to look nice. A guy bashing out some software in his bedroom could not hire anyone even if he wanted to. If you are doing it by yourself and you have not had the exp doing it, it will come out very meh. So the budding new artist (by necessity) will copy what they see not understanding the 'why' something looks the way it does. In this case it looks like he resorted to procedurally generated effects and items. Which makes for fun code and compact data (also important at that time).
I also have Youtube left on my list. I also find it a little too addictive. Instead of using a browser, I use RSS to subscribe to the channels I'm interested in. From my RSS reader (newsbeat) I can even directly play the video (via mpv + yt-dlp).
