A hash of what exactly though?

This would only work as a timestamp, if you ever plan to publicly release your secret.

But it wouldn't work if you e.g. want to find other people that also know what you know, without ever telling anyone. (Because they wouldn't have your exact text or document to hash...)
The flip side is that if someone asks a question like "how do I do X in Windows 10?" there will always be some dull idiot who says "uninstall it and install linux".

I'm maybe not the best to ask, as I've rarely had any motion sickness issues. But the few times I have, it's been very specific games, and mostly ones in which you're "flying around" or some such.

Luckily, that means you can choose games that don't have this issue, and most fitness games are included. E.g. a lot of "fitness" games are like beat saber - you're effectively "standing still" and things are coming to you. Other games allow you to move around a little, but you're still basically "on the ground" and moving around, not flying.

So in my experience, it's fairly easy to do 30 minutes of something like Beat Saber, Pistol Whip, or similar games. And way funner to do that than do 30 minutes of just running, at least to me. (Sorry, I'm not much of a runner.)

That said, there's a reason for my belief that when a good omnidirectional treadmill hits the market, it will make VR 1000x better. It will make all fitness games instantly much better, and more realistic, and it turn many games that aren't currently fitness games into fitness games by having you walking or running around a lot. An FPS that allows you to actually walk around will instantly be the best game ever, in my mind, but right now there's no way I'm doing that for exercise.

It's in the first image, the one that says "Good".
At first, it sounded like a stretched out conspiracy theory. When I looked at the "correctly" contrasted green in the first image that was darker, it made more sense.

The lighter greyish green gives off a lower standard, almost as if the Android user was a guest user or in free trial mode.

Far too many companies treat tech support as a necessary evil trash cost center, instead of the absolute goldmine that it can be.

Ye article is complete bullshit and makes-up some fictional examples: for instance the bubbles supposedly on a “brighter screen” are shown as totally desaturated and ‘blown-out’ but unfortunately for the author’s thesis, screen brightness does not affect UI elements in this way, at all.

Edit: Haha thx for the downvotes but the article is still lying with phony made-up images.

This seems to be mostly a US American thing, mainly because of the same reasons BBM was a thing: lots of chats over SMS used to be a thing, and then chats over iMessage, which like BBM, you can only join if you have a device from a specific vendor. That means that you can only be in a special social circle if you buy the same stuff. That won't change because of some colours, because it's not the colours causing the tribalism, it can exist perfectly fine without it.

In Western Europe, South America and Asia it's mostly just some specific app (WhatsApp for example, or Signal, or WeChat or LINE) and as a fallback SMS. And if SMS turns from one colour bubble to another colour it doesn't really do anything for users on either end. This deep integration with colours and status symbols does remain in specific areas like middle school where it is still seen as important to try to project wealth.

A system that is proven to work is a container deposit; in my country they recently made it so that the .5 liter bottles of e.g. coca cola have a 25 cent deposit, which you get back if you deposit it in the right channels. It's not perfect, but it prevents a lot of these ending up in the regular waste stream.

In theory these bottles can then be washed and reused, or ground up and reused or recycled. I don't know if that actually happens though.

Exactly - the author fictionalized some examples for his phony thesis.
Isn't finding and pointing out a fundamental flaw in how you want to accomplish X the opposite of pedantic? "You shouldn't be doing this in the first place" is quite often the best answer, even though it's not the one you want to hear.
I almost commented something along the lines of "oh come on; unless this is your first day on the internet, you know exactly the unproductive pedantry OP is talking about" but I'm starting to think your response is some kind of satire.
This is a clickbait. On my iPhone the green color is much darker than what the author shows in the article. Here are some images with the hex color codes for example:

I don’t entirely agree with the original comment too but hydration has always been an issue when TTI is discussed.

Aside from the inefficient rendering of SSR due to data aggregating data, another inefficiency here is the need to re-render them again client side all that same JavaScript and json server side.

React tries to solve this issue with its concurrent mode, and streaming ssr, and server components.

I argue hydration is near to the core problem that many of today’s popular tools like graphql relay and react’s concurrent mode are trying to solve. Or Remix, Marko, Nextjs’s layout RFC. Each tool solves the problem slightly differently. Some try to make sure all data are loaded in parallel as much as possible so that hydration doesn’t cause a waterfall of requests. Others lazy load islands of JavaScript.
They were rich way before that. You can find older articles about it.
Now you've made me feel like I was too hard on ADS/Cft!

Empirical confirmation is not, in my opinion, a requirement for taking a scientific idea seriously. There is a lot of discussion of relativity in the threads on this comment, but most of it misses what I think is the salient point: _general_ relativity was formulated not because of any compelling physical observation which demanded a theory of curved spacetime or some other relativistically invariant theory of gravity. General Relativity was formulated because _special relativity_ more or less demanded that the effect of gravity propagate in some way coherent with the idea that causes and effects are ordered and move from place to place at a finite speed.

There is nothing wrong, in my opinion, with undertaking a research program on the basis of a compelling outstanding but purely theoretical problem. I don't think the existence of such research programs alone, nor their discussion in public per se, tends towards a kind of scientific authoritarianism. My problem with the article is entirely in how it communicates the ideas here, which is badly and, more importantly, without situating them in the greater epistemological context of progress in physics. I suppose the presenting the material without that context does kind of support "scientism" but such is so common in media that this doesn't seem like a particularly outstanding example. Really, the inability of the public or the press to understand science is a deep cultural and political problem of which this kind of reporting is just a symptom.
I hate when I don't see the end user feedback as an engineer.

When I see users forced to waste time with elaborate workarounds and hacks to use software I made I feel real guilt even if I had no way to know it wasn't well suited to their needs.
Wouldn't there be a more likely explanation for an unintended bit flip than a cosmic ray? Perhaps some random hardware effect like an unintentional 'Row hammer' bit flip in other parts of the system, a very rare hardware race condition, a very unlikely quantum tunnel for the node size, etc...?
I do not think I have ever received a useless pedantic criticism instead of an answer on StackOverflow. Not that I've asked that many questions — only about a hundred — but I haven't encountered the useless criticism you are talking about. Worst thing that happened was that the question went unanswered.
Nitpick: aluminium cans do not have a liner on the inside (unlike the laminates used for e.g. potato chips) and big brands usually print their branding straight onto the aluminium, it's only smaller brands that use plastic shrink sleeve labels.

This article is weird to me. On one hand, it’s interesting science about color perception. Good stuff.

But on the other hand, it assumes an unsubstantiated motive for why it is as it is. I’ve worked with designers a bunch, and they have all kinds of reasons for why they choose as they do. I would not put this past apple at all. But given there’s no quotes from the original designers, I’d go with “Do no attribute to malice that which you can attribute to incompetence.”
> Writing about your own work in third person has nothing to do with using the passive voice. You can use the active voice just fine: "Papers X,Y,Z show that ..." works regardless of the identity of the authors of X,Y,Z So the style argument is wrong.

I agree that writing in third person about your work is not the same as writing in passive voice. It is part of the same style trying to give an impression of objectivity despite the fact that you did the work.

Essentially you are trying to hide the information that you authored the papers, and did the work. Just compare "In paper X,Y,Z the authors show the importance of proper citing" or "In paper X,Y,Z we show the importance of proper citing". Don't tell me that you would not evaluate the 2 sentences differently.

> The other argument you have is also questionable. It doesn't matter at all the identity of the citer when using citations to argue that a topic of research is important. If you cite 20 papers and they are mostly from the very same author, it doesn't matter if you're the author: any reviewer will realize the claim is shaky -- or not, if all those papers happens to be actually outstanding.

Sure if there are 20 citations it's very obviously shaky, but often enough cases are not quite so clear cut. I still believe one should not deliberately hide information.

> Double blind is imperfect but miles better than single blind. And we shouldn't list made-up defects that don't stand to scrutiny to it.

Just so I don't get misunderstood, I'm not arguing against double blind, we should always do it and I have been advocating for it in several settings. I just say we should not suddenly change the way we write papers, so not to accidentally reveal our identity to the reviewers. That approach will make papers more difficult to read and write with questionable benefit.

No, it’s to indicate when you are texting someone over an insecure protocol.

This is just like saying the colored HTTPS symbol in the browser toolbar on websites that support SSL was designed to make websites without SSL look uncool.
Since there’s no objective morality, I’d say, for us, thank goodness it did.
Might it might it not also be just conditioning? Users have learned to associate green messages with all of the limitations that SMS impose. Hence they perceive it as bad. If that was true, they could’ve picked a higher contrast version instead, and people would still feel the same way.

> Casting should be safe as far as I know

I assume you're talking about this:

long x = <whatever>
double y = *(double*)&x;

Nope, it is undefined behavior, with few exceptions, even if sizeof double == sizeof long. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/98650/what-is-the-strict...

If you got rid of this rule a huge number of optimizations would be lost, since the compiler would have to assume that any memory, of any type, could change if anything at all is modified through a pointer. You'd be surprised how slow everything would be. You'd also be surprised how much code violates this and gets away with it. Time bombs waiting to happen. ;-)

memcpy(), and more generally accessing bytes through char*, are how you avoid this kind of undefined behavior. It comes up so often that C++20 added std::bit_cast for this same use: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/numeric/bit_cast
"Elsewhere" in this case is the FAQ link at the bottom of the donation page. If a person has questions, that's what an FAQ is for.

It does affect your visual impression in the eye, though. If you're using a bright screen in a dim environment, your eyes will be hurt by the bright light, you flinch and that will reduce the perceptive contrast.
To be fair, he could’ve cut to the chase sooner. Since it was a UI UX article, HN readers probably aren’t aware that it’s a contrast between fonts and background, not blue vs green or green vs dark green.
Are there any general purpose models that are good at learning math? I mainly know basic feed-forward neural nets, but I don't think they do well outside their training region. Math, of course, has an infinite training region.
The system is set up to avoid such shenanigans.
If desired, the question is will they find a way to work around the rules.
I agree with you, but then the trust in the system would be greatly damaged.
They might as well have two different interest rates / not pay IOR.

This is what random.org does:

> A binary digit (bit) can be either 0 or 1. There are several Random.org radios located in Copenhagen, Dublin, and Ballsbridge, each generating 12,000 bits per second[8] from the atmospheric noise picked up.[9] The generators produce a continuous string of random bits which are converted into the form requested (integer, Gaussian distribution, etc.)

I get it - have been there. Work with project/team X, and... with tools I know, I'm X productive.

"We need to switch to tool Y".

There's usually a host of reasons I may not want to move to tool Y, but in most cases, it's because I don't want to have to learn yet another tool just to do what I was doing. Why? Cognitive overload... but also for some period of time I'm going to be much less productive. I don't want to be judged on that. you are saying I have to use Y... I'm going to be slower. Every estimate will be 20% more than what it was for the next Z months. I've got 10 years of muscle memory to undo. Is it worth it?

In most cases, really not. BUT... if someone mandated that, AND also acknowledged up front that the delivery expectations will be reduced for some longer period of time... perhaps it's OK.

On the JB topic, IntelliJ was one 'heavy' tool I resisted for a long time. "I'm faster in these other tools - notepad++, vim, netbeans, whatever". I was faster, for many tasks. Adopting something new was slow. I'm generally glad I did it, but I did it mostly on my own projects, and freelancing. Had I been under pressure to deliver at a high pace while having to undo years of habits/tools/processes that got me where I was at that time, it would have been far more difficult to deal with.
The bubble chat interface itself is gross. Terrible. Disgusting. Unusable. Distracting. Eye-hurting. Illogical. Counterproductive. Log-unfriendly. Code-offensive. Intolerable. Since day one.
This kind of windy article further confirms my belief that "design" is relatively hollow at its core; essentially a jargon-filled way to try to generalize a task that must be very specific, wherein not much of this jargon is very useful.

Some user(s) have some kind of task that they want to achieve. They could get together and communicate well with some kind of developer who can help them achieve or complete that task; all of which is likely doable without this middle layer of whatever this is.

The worst case is orbitals will require some active stationkeeping.

If your civilization goes the route of interstellar highways well you already have the ability to focus a large amount of power on a sail of some sort to give propulsion. You could use exactly the same thing to correct orbits.

It's also worth noting that orbitals around the Sun are a whole lot bigger volume than orbits around the Earth. LEO orbits have a radius of 6500-7000km. The Earth is 150,000,000km from the Sun so the radius of that is about 8 orders of magnitude more.

If you assume orbits between Venus and Mars and include orbits off the Solar plane, the math for a full Dyson swarm the math (IIRC) works out to a mean distance between orbitals of around 100,000km, even with trillions of them.
