> As a young kid in 1982 I thought those graphics were stunning, at least compared to text based games I'd been playing.

Yes I remember going from FS3 to FS4 and seeing the airfoils actually move in the Cessna was so cool. Also the approach lighting...

And then FS5 / 95 came and introduced "photo" scenery and clouds though it was incredibly blocky. And surface shading.
> you'd expect them to tailgate cyclists much less often.

that's absurd.

ever seen a traffic light from a car?

> Literally nobody keeps the necessary distance to the car/cyclists in front of them in city

you mean literally no cyclist keeps the distance between them and the car in front of them, tailgate them at traffic lights, and then keep everybody else stuck because they are slow to move?

they are forbidden by the law to pass other vehicles in my country and keep the right lane, they never do it.

have you ever seen a bike wait behind a slower car or in line at a traffic light?

cameras could fine cars not behaving, but bikes?

> When a cyclists falls in front of a car it's fatal.

then why they do it all the time?

because I literally saved tens of them in the past 30 years.
If you have a GPU that has more than 4 GB VRAM, you should be able to easily run it:

I didn't manage to run it on mine, as it segfaults, but I've heard of people running it fine on an old 1060 (which I have too).
I was just reading one of Francis Schaeffer's books this morning; he was describing musique concrète, a predecessor of electronic music in which recorded sounds are mechanically manipulated to produce distorted effects.

"Musique concrète is real sound, but seriously distorted. In the beginning it was created by jumping grooves on a phonographic record. Later Pierre Schaeffer invented a machine by which the distortions can be carefully controlled. With his machine he can lift out the source of the sound, split it up, reverse it, slow it down or speed it up, in fact do just about anything to alter it. To hear the result is to distrust your ears, just as in Op Art you begin to distrust your eyes."

I like how in your quote Eno said "so much modern art is the sound of things going out of control, of a medium pushing to its limits and breaking apart". I think Schaeffer would agree -- the distortion of sound is an artistic expression of the hope finding a universal in the breaking apart of particulars.
There’s so much glop in the “use standard libraries” approach to coding I would be surprised that the gui gets anywhere near the chip’s theoretical performance. Perhaps individual applications can avoid code bloat but it’s still a handheld.

And I suspect there’s so many people working on these products that it’s the mean-engineer performance. And I would think these are about the same.
32 eth is such a small investment that it isn't that meaningfully different than 1 eth.
I invite you to make that sale to the American voter.

My point is that Americans who own one or more plots of land definitely do NOT believe they are renting that land from the government. Ownership is, of course, a degree of control and everything is a matter of degree. Meaningful LVT would be a qualitative change in a home- or farm- or business-owner’s degree of control over what they heretofore considered their property, and they’d recognize that.

Comfort is a safety feature as well. You need to be awake and able to focus on the road.

Saab had a funny one for this - there were 3 vents in the front of your dashboard, but one always blew cold air no matter what, so that in the winter, you could point it on your face. Heat cranked and no warm fatigue... a beautiful thing.

Antipatterns are the worst.
There is no defined role called a “slasher”. There are randomly-decided committees that are regularly updated as part of Ethereum PoS consensus that play different roles. Your validator could be in any one of those roles (or in a pending state) at any time.
They did themselves a bit of a disservice uploading the full-resolution version. Enlarged to 3m x 3m and viewed from 20cm away, which is approximately the situation when you view this one at 100% on a computer screen, you can see every imperfection. I think it looks great when viewed at normal size.
And then the ETH becomes worthless, and despite having all the ETH, those people have no real-world money.
If we are going down that road, what does "freely available" mean? To me that would suggest Public Domain only. If you get access to the code under a license, even something as liberal as MIT license, it wasn't "freely available" you had to agree to the license.

More to the point with a no commercial clause, it isn't freely available there are restrictions on what you can do with it.
I know NHS works differently from the US, but the health care providers in the US that are used by major corps (IE, benefits) all have urgent care lines. I've done this repeatedly (to avoid my wife going to the ER with a sick kid). Typically, while it takes a month to get a routine appointment, the kid's doctor always can see them the next day for something urgent.

If you think about it, this makes a lot of sense because ERs are tuned for low latency, low throughput, high cost for emergencies, and if lots of people who just need urgent care go, they make it hard for the emergencies to be seen with low latency.

>>because no one has to buy all those services and in fact few do

I don't know if it's strictly the case. I think it depends on how we slice and dice.

I cannot pay for Marvel movies without paying for Alladin and Little Mermaid (Disney+)

I cannot just pay for Star Trek Strange New Worlds without paying for... I don't even know what, honestly, CBS All Access / Paramount + / whatever it's called these days holds no other interest to me.

I get Prime, but increasing amount of movies I want are behind complex channel bundles. wtf is STARZ?

If you are a family with parents, children, and perhaps even a grandparent, you will have an increasingly comparable number of subscriptions, monthly outlay, and hassle ("I want to watch X; is it on any services I subscribe or do I have to commit my life to yet another" is a privileged but unnecessary problem I do not desire to have and it's solely on industry's shoulders)

Netflix had promise. Netflix was the Spotify of visual content. My one place with simple good interface that I can find all the content available, or at least good 80-90% of the middle of bell curve. The one monopoly I wholeheartedly desired to remain a monopoly.

Here's a statement of personal perspective: "For me and anybody I know (friends & family), we are 100% moving toward Cable days in any and every way that matters to us". While we may be able to find a lens through which that is not technically the case, I personally find that immaterial. The immense prolifieration and fractalization of streaming providers benefits them, and is absolutely 100% against my convenience, budget, preference and best interest.
Around here you’d be passed by the majority of traffic regardless of vehicle for going “only” two over the limit.
I'm pretty much just asking the same question on every thread now. How does something get slashed? These articles say nothing about it. There are many docs saying all you need is 1 honest slasher node. Well, what happens if you have a dishonest slasher node?
That's why my wife will never move over to streaming. She has a few channels she likes to watch, and knows when her favorite shows are on. She just wants to sit down at that time, switch to the right channel, and watch her show. None of the streamers offer this, from what I can tell.

My wife and I have started traveling again, and when we visit AirBNBs, we've noticed that fewer and fewer offer basic cable with their homes anymore, so we played around with streaming and hate it. Instead of "turn on HGTV at 8PM" it's now:

1. Do some research on the Internet about which streaming service offers HGTV.

2. Sign up for it.

3. Figure out how to log into that streaming service in the AirBNB.

4. Scroll through the streaming's terrible UI to find the name of the show.

5. Decide which episode to watch ("I don't care--I just want to watch whatever is on right now!")

In some AirBNBs you can skip 2 and 3 if the host left the previous occupants logged in. But either way, it's a terrible user experience compared to "sit down and turn on the TV". So, cable still wins in our household even though it's expensive.
>We have rethought it extensively. There are proposals in every major city and probably nearly every neighborhood for improved street designs. But enough of those who drive through those neighborhoods oppose those improvements that they rarely happen.

It doesn't help that half the time these proposals wind up being half-baked boondoggles that result in a great deal of money being spent for a situation that is at best net neutral. In my own city they redeveloped some main streets according to modern principals coinciding with a stadium development. They then patted themselves on the backs for how effective they were at traffic calming without reducing throughput at the points before and after the project zone at which they measured. Of course, nobody was talking about the fact that they basically just displaced the traffic from that main thoroughfare into the adjacent neighborhoods and turned "kids play here" streets into exactly the kind of car-filled hellscape they allege to be against. Of course, only the locals know this. If you're far away in some ivory tower the project looks like a success.

>and hard to admit that we take constant risks that sometimes result in harm.

Modern society is incapable of having the requisite tough discussions about the pros and cons of various risks/rewards when human life and limb is involved. I think the HN classes ought to take a good look in the mirror because we do a great amount of peddling the kind of rhetoric that perpetuates this immaturity.

>I think the only way to solve this is to take street design decisions (and funding for safety improvements) out of the hands of governments - there’s no level of local gov that is immune from the backlash. But how do we do that without some horrible other outcomes?

We don't. Further removed government doesn't exactly have a great track record. Time and time again you'll see local governments do absolutely asinine infrastructure things because checking some box to meet some criteria for state or fed funding results in a lower total cost after the higher level of .gov kicks in some fraction of the money even though the end result is not what they need.

I think the solution here is more direct local control. If some municipalities do figure it out and make improvements then their ideas and patterns of development will be copied elsewhere.
You can only select, you can't nest cte, the query planner has no understanding of joins that cross cte boundaries so they are totally unoptimized, you can't use distinct or group by or etcetc. Really the CTE implementation in SqlServer is basically a parser level hack.
Do you hide that you suffer from PASC (Long Covid)?
At this point, more than two years from the original infection ( a so-called "mild case" ) I am essentially disabled, yet have found out that saying it out loud if asked why I'm sick or why I can't do this or that, etc, there are mostly two reactions when people hear it.

- They assume I have COVID right now, and I am walking around with the infection. Which naturallly freaks people out.

- They think I'm making things up. At most I may get the occasional "oh yeah, I still get tired myself sometimes..." but still a funny look nonetheless.

Being "tired sometimes" is not being unable to breathe and oxygen levels dropping like crazy for no reason, or having liver failure, or unexpected and sudden hemorrhages, heart disease that came out of nowhere ( 100% healthy and very fit before COVID ) and a million other things which make life very miserable and difficult. In short, being disabled.

And yet people react as if it's made up.

I know I am lucky as anxiety does not cause hemorrhages or unexplained liver failure, or a number of things that happen with this disease. I feel for those with "simple" migraines, or the like, who can't even find "comfort" in a doctor rushing them to the ER because clearly you need to be there right now -- no psychosomatic anything here, you get to the hospital or things get very ugly very quick.

How do you deal with this problem ? Have you been hiding it ?

Edit : Supposedly there is an incredible number of people affected by PASC. In two years I have never met one, no one other than me. It's beyond frustrating.
There's also IVAO that's meant to be a bit more beginner friendly (someone told me that Vatsim people often have very low patience, not sure if true as I've not used either)
I received this email at 10:42pm PST.

At the time, I could not find the disclosure on their website.

I'm glad they disclosed shortly after discovery, but not publishing it on their site is an odd choice.
This is a highly idealistic myth. Most drivers are not "cyclists a few hours earlier/later", and many definitely aren't empathetic. The split between bike lanes and car lanes, as well as the law favoring cyclists, should make that obvious. Cyclists even get away not showing their direction despite this being taught from early age.

The wealth centralization effect is not an inherent aspect of crypto, it was nothing more than a result of the liquidity injections from central banks.

The same argument could be made of all scarce assets that rocketed in price in the past years. Watches, the stock market, and real estate don't inherently "centralize wealth". Their price appreciation was only a symptom of the reduced cost of debt, which naturally favors the wealthiest, which reflects in the price of what wealthy people buy when they have too much money (scarce assets).

The base concept of cryptocurrency is enabling free market economies by bypassing government regulation, and at least in the case of Bitcoin and Ethereum, regulating inflation by setting it in code, instead of being opaquely decided by a few wealthy people (some of them convicted of insider-trading[1]). Those two things tend to favor bottom-up wealth creation, rather than the trickle-down model fiat currencies encourage. That's a wealth decentralization force, not centralization like you claim.

For now. Eventually the greed is going to get to the point where ads are mandatory regardless of what package you choose. It's just a slow burn similar to what happened in publishing. First there were ads. Then there were popup ads. It took an entire army of people to get rid of the popups. So they increased the ads, got more sophisticated on placement, and made them far more insidious in terms of privacy violation. Then they added paywalls, but removed the ads. Now they're adding ads to paywalled content because of "added value for our customers" when they aren't also doing sponsored newsletters.
They can't help. My friend sells second hand bicycles recovered from the police. A couple of weeks ago they gave him an e-bike. This thing had been modified with a twist throttle, 1 kW motor and a maximum speed of 62 MPH.

He took it up to 40 MPH (on his own private land) before chickening out. The chain would simply not stay on the cassette at that speed. He reckons that if you did drive it to the limit, you'd go through a brand new set of disc brakes and calipers in a week, if you didn't manage to boil half the hydraulic fluid off in the mean time!

But to a non expert this thing looks exactly like a regular bicycle--because it is (or was, before it was illegally modified to be a motorbike).
"Copyright washing" seems a lot like clean room reverse engineering to me; this is usually done by having one person read the copyrighted code and describe what it does to another person, who then designs an implementation based on the description.

At least, I can't see a substantial difference in the result.
More like the job controller: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/pkg/con...

It's a loop that schedules jobs. When you create a job it starts them, when one crashes it schedules another, when you delete one it stops them. Systemd already does this for a single node's service units, so all that's lacking is doing this across nodes.
The smarter cars get, the worse they are for consumer rights and Privacy.

Unfortunately its a general trend, everything that is getting "smartified" is becoming an anti consumer black box, and If you care about your privacy or owning the device you bought, you are out of luck.

It happened with TVs, and now its coming for cars too, there might be options now but they won't last long, is there a dumb TV in your local supermarket? No, and there is no privacy respecting TV either.

I dont hate smart things, I wish I can enjoy all the new convenient tech without being spied on and my private life getting sold to the highest bidder.

I want a smart home, a smart car, a smart TV, a smart vacuum.

But until they stop being spyware, there is no option other than just not buying, or hacking it to stop spying.

The only way to stop this is with regulation, because every other monetary incentive, will continue to push everything towards the same goal, spyware and spying on your every move.
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

Dutch cyclists are also more observant of the rules. In New York, cyclists regularly blow through red lights and cross walks going through wrong way and at high speed.

I think that depends on where you work. Process. Code reviews before allowing merge/pull requests can help.
Bitcoin and Etherium are probably amongst the most inefficient cryptocurrencies on the market.

Many have tried. Most are hobby projects. None have had the full force of a real production ready DBMS behind them.

And really, projects like this are fighting the general ignorance the industry as a whole has about what a relational database actually is. It's better since the NoSQL wave crested and we stopped hearing stupid shit like "my data isn't tabular and doesn't fit in a schema", but there's still a preponderance of people who haven't stopped to learn the lessons that Date and Codd tried to teach decades ago, and constantly reach for graph/network/hierarchical databases without understanding why we originally tried to move beyond those back in the 70s.

Unfortunately because of this most attempts to do "better than SQL" end up not working from first principles and look like a dogs breakfast of ill-formed "that'd be neat" ideas.

And, yeah, as I said the "pure relational" projects that are out there are usually either academic projects or hobby. (Yes I've had a few of my own)

I think there might be hope in the Datalog-type systems that have emerged recently.
This, I think, is one of those cases where we need regulation.

I would be fine with banning subscription features in any vehicle.

What you drive off the lot is what you get for the life of the vehicle, barring physical damage.

They can try, but customers might rebel and safety or standards agencies might get involved. I would think this bs will drive people towards leasing cars, which is also logical in case the 2030-2035 no more ICE comes to pass. Is this what the vendors really want?

Or the hackers will have a field day, and any vendor that breaks ranks should do quite handsomely.

Oh, I was a bit unclear there. The 9.9% was of the total money that was raised in the ICO (60m) and ended up being ~5.9m.

The total initial premine was 72m (~59% of today's supply).

I think someone more knowledgeable might provide a better breakdown of those funds, except that the article(s) linked covers it a lot better than my comment.
