I had the exact same thought: a Vampire Survivors clone seems like a genuinely great first game project. The core gameplay is really simple but actually fun (unlike making a Pong clone or whatever), and drawing hundreds of sprites and particles on-screen forces you to learn how to use the GPU and collision detection properly.
(repeating second hand knowledge from a past HN thread here) I believe Intel provides a lot more support to third parties around motherboard design and overall hardware integration - it's possible that this is the reason that AMD wasn't a practical choice.
I feel the same, but for me that's Ubuntu on a Thinkpad. Just works, no fuss.
> whatever the secret sauce is, it's nicely fast

Mostly by reusing existing version managers, which have been developed and optimised over the years. Asdf itself is a relatively thin wrapper really.
Apple did a recall back when this happened, too - https://gizmodo.com/apple-confirms-failing-nvidia-graphics-c...
I'd also add that "rougelikes" heavily emphasize replayability (at least in my limited experience).

FTL and Slay the Spire are probably my top two favs in the genre.
Antibody responses to Omicron BA.4/BA.5 bivalent mRNA vaccine booster shot
It's hard to say because the terms end up shifting to mean various things as the genre solidifies. I personally like using roguelite for games such as Hades, in which case the operating features are procedural generation, permadeath, and metaprogress with each run
Do we? That's the one big thing that's an immediate, across-the-board threat to both human civilization and the environment as we know it. The "other environmental disasters impacting everyone on earth" are either partially caused by climate change, or aren't really disasters. Like microplastics - unless there's been some new research in the past year, AFAIK they're still just something worrying, but we're yet to identify any actual harm caused by them. Which means it's good to keep them on our radar, but dealing with them shouldn't be a priority - not when we have problems (like carbon emission induced climate change) that are directly harmful and are only going to get worse.
> At least for California, you have to look for the California Olive Oil Council seal if you want to be sure

Is there a ranking of olive oil certifying organizations? I ask b/c I when I googled for olive oil testing, I came across the Olive Oil Commission of California, which apparently both does testing and requires members to also do testing, and California Olive Ranch is still a member in good standing of that one. http://www.oliveoilcommission.org/trusted/

Does this mean that even if they sourced olives from outside of California, it still meets some lab tests for pure extra virgin olive oil? If I care more about the "is actually extra virgin olive oil" question than where the olives were grown, I should be satisfied?

Also, I'm annoyed that even if multiple parties are doing tests, we don't really see published that "Brand X isn't pure olive oil, according to independent lab", or even "Brands X, Y, Z were tested, and Brands Y, Z are real olive oil". I'm assuming this is for legal reasons?
Asdf – Build System
VeraCrypt and Bitlocker have already been mentioned, so in case they don't cover your use case, take a look at Cryptomator.

You can have an encrypted folder, put it on Google Drive and then decrypt it from any of your devices. Even iOS will support it natively once you do the setup with the Cryptomator app.
Can you elaborate? Why would FDE or inactivity accelerate bit rot?
Manufacturers would just transfers to the consumer. We have a CRV tax for each bottle/can here in California, and as far as I can tell, it has no affect on consumer behavior.
Really? They're pretty common in Japan in season, either salted and roasted or hiding in steamed chawanmushi (egg custard).

What is bloody revolting, though, is the smell of the rotting fruit, which bears a disturbing resemblance to semen that's been sitting around for a while.
Was going to say… just got a recruiter email from them on Friday.
I remapped tmux to control-\ (which didn't conflict with anything in emacs that I cared about). It kind of sucks to hit that in a non-tmux shell or one without my config file though ;).

Control-space is mark in emacs (even though I am using vscodium these days - I do fire up mg for quick things). It does make it a two handed chord (left control) but it's quite fluid for me.

The new Defenders are awesome. I got to borrow one for the day from a buddy in Colorado and it was the ideal vehicle for the terrain. My only qualm was that the turbo lag felt pretty significant but it scoots once it's all spooled up. Very luxurious and very capable vehicles.
Yeah, I think I started mine half a dozen times.
Because it's a disruption moment, and people will be designing new things around it, and some of those things conceivably might be people getting on some version of the open train, and doing the rest of the system open.

Maybe this could end up rising around some other ISA. The closest I can think of is Raptor's impressive work around IBM Power9, but even the entry-level Blackbird board they did a few years ago is pricey, and I haven't yet seen an explosion of open boards at other price points and configurations. https://www.raptorcs.com/content/base/products.html
>the only thing that's actively annoying me day-to-day is their objectively incorrect choice of a Ctrl/Fn/Super/Alt layout instead of Fn/Ctrl/Super/Alt (and the fan is a little loud).

Has anyone managed to shim an actual Thinkpad keyboard with Trackpoint buttons into this yet? That would probably satisfy most.

Sometimes, and it depends, but far more so than others in my experience.

Perhaps most famously, when Nvidia manufactured defective GPUs, Apple launched a repair program at their own expense [1], and IIRC the fallout from this is what (at least somewhat) led to the severance of ties between Apple and NVIDIA.

I’ve had multiple cases of bad GPUs, bad batteries and the like, and while Apple has denied me service before, they’ve repaired or replaced far more as a percentage than any other computer manufacturer I’ve dealt with.

Downvoters have clearly never had the dubious pleasure of smelling a gingko boulevard in season, because I can vouch that this is true. The rotting fruit/nuts smell terrible, and even TFA mentions "their olfactory resemblance to carrion".
One of my favorite questions from my take home interview is:

> I just turned 1 billion seconds old. What day was I born?
> Show your work. Bonus points for precise second.

Most people would do it the hard way - determine the number of days in 1 billion seconds, and then work backwards to get the date.

The approach that I look for (and surprisingly few people thought to do) was to get the current unix timestamp, remove the leading 1 (billions) and get the datetime for that timestamp.
This is only true if you hold a monopoly on the market.

Durability is a competitive advantage that businesses and individuals will often clamor for. It’s not easy to replicate
It's mostly the tech ones, i wonder if there is some insider trading from the US government members [1], they are preparing the ban of both TikTok and Huawei, the SEC no longer exist, so i guess there is nothing to do

Will China escape from this trap stronger? it's looking rough, they are playing against a rigged market

Some interesting activity for BNB [2]

And some bonus [3], it's about TikTok, but this is valid for every other social media, including Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, China vs USA, if are from none of these countries then you should be worried

Show HN: Brain, Live Smarter
Hi Smart People!
We are super excited to show you what we’ve been building. Circl is a brain-sensing headset that tracks your brain performance to help you improve it.

The Problem — Our brain is not included in our understanding and measurement of human health and performance. Therefore, it is often taken for granted and we burn out, get brain fog, and live with brain health conditions.

Our Solution — We have built a headset and app that allows you to track your brain performance daily with a simple 5 min test. This test has been refined over the last 60 years in academic neuroscience research labs, and we are bringing it to the world so that we can all benefit from it. It is the most accurate way to track your cognitive ability.
1. Build a baseline of your cognitive performance
2. Track the effectiveness of your sleep and rest
3. Track how exhausting your work is
4. Identify broader brain health trends that may lead to burn out or brain fog

Our ask — Tell us what you think

1. Buy on at a 50% discount through Product Hunt (https://www.producthunt.com/posts/circl-ba0cf8dc-c0a6-48b3-9...)
2. Tell the world about it
3. Tell me what you think of it.
Microsoft is just full of these strange decisions. People back then used to say Microsoft would never abandon backwards compatibility when it comes to a new product, but they attempted that several times now from Windows RT to Windows S Mode. The move to Windows 11 has also made them drop a lot of hardware that wasn't even that old.

You would think this would mean that they would then be pushing the bleeding edge hardware in their own devices? But no they're still opting for generations old hardware in brand new Surface devices. Perhaps then they would commit to ARM more seriously to really push the limits without care for legacy software, but all we get is an overpriced Windows dev box with no serious roadmap for other first party software.

At this point, all decisions at Microsoft are done at complete random.
Probably the former, given the hysteria about running out of landfill space was partially the reason why there was a push to recycle in the 80s.

>GONZALEZ: There were all these stats coming out at the time that showed that the number of landfills in America was plummeting. Landfills were closing, and people kept citing these stats in stories about the garbage barge.

>KINNAMAN: And so people put it all together, and in their minds, the conclusion was that the United States is running out of landfill space. The United States was full - that we couldn't store any more.

>[...]

>GONZALEZ: OK. Here's what else was happening at the time. Yes, landfills were closing, but that was because there were new rules for landfills - stricter rules to protect the environment. The EPA said you now have to do things like line the bottom of landfills with plastic so they don't contaminate the groundwater.

>KINNAMAN: And so the old town dump - every little town had one - was out of compliance. You can't accept garbage in here anymore. It's illegal. And so these town dumps were closing by the dozens.

>GONZALEZ: But in their place, regional landfills were becoming a thing - bigger landfills that could accept trash while still following all of these new rules. The Natural Resources Defense Council says there used to be about 10,000 dumps in the mid-'80s and that now we have less than 3,000. But we were not running out of space then, and we still aren't running out of space. Thomas says we probably have thousands of years of landfill space left in the U.S. And even hardcore environmentalists reluctantly agree that, yeah, we have a lot of space left. But people thought we were running out of space, and that was what mattered.

>KINNAMAN: And so the recycling era was born. This is when state government said, we're going to require cycling to - recycling to occur.
And yet no one is building durable products.
Video is not in any way central to Slack.

Slack solved a few key UX problems with IRC (history, search, centralized access control, team management). It could have been implemented on 90s hardware without any issues.
As a parent living in Canada, the reopening of schools felt completely like a "we gave up on kids" (the vaccine took a long time to get to under 5).

Combined with the poor testing practices, we felt really unsupported. Not to mention, from pure observation of my family, I suspect we are some of the major carriers for viruses: children get it at school, bring it at home, then we spread to other adults.
A sword can weigh as little as 1 lbs. On average maybe 2-2.5. If the weight is sensibly allocated, that is not something that will significantly bog you down. If it is, you really need cardio.
You said that only nitrogen, oxygen, CO2 and “some noble gases” should be in the atmosphere. Everything else (such as salt) is a pollutant.

How many compounds are there that are not nitrogen, oxygen, CO2 and “some noble gases”? In my estimation that is uncountable but maybe you have some hard numbers?

edit:
“Suitable purpose“ for me would be creating or maintaining an environment that sustains human life.

Is your “checkmate” position something like “Hah! In my dictionary, ‘suitable purpose’ only relates to underwater welding, root beer production, and synthetic diamond formation!”

I personally find moving goalposts to avoid talking about concrete things in concrete terms to be problematic, but I understand that if a person is quite jaded about the future of life on earth that it might seem that the only thing worth debating is semantics. Maybe avoiding boredom matters more than attempting to avert catastrophe.
> You do realize that the comment was tongue-in-cheek?

Why would I? It's well-established that tone does not come across through text.

> There is no "resource draining" here. Even if someone found a way to solve the problem of distributed consensus without using a blockchain and found a way to make money out of it, they would be rich by wealth creation: new products, new services, new business.

While I see what you're saying, I don't think I properly explained my point as yours is not a counter to it. By "resource draining" I mean that overall the creators could get richer compared to everyone else. Even if they took say $0.01 from every transaction those pennies slowly add up. A dollar 'spent' by changing hands 10 times is actually $0.90. A dollar 'spent' 100 times has been effectively drained of all it's value with that value funnelled to the hands of those running the system. In a scenario like that, wealth creation as you've defined it actually pours fuel on the fire. Every business uses a huge amount of transactions to pay operational costs, and all of their customers generate transactions every time they pay.

We currently have this playing out in various ways (for example franchise markups) and even though it's so highly fragmented it's still an issue where wealth is concentrating at the top. So it follows that if the rich get richer, the rest must get less rich by comparison.

I have a macbook pro 16 (the last Intel one) and it has a claimed 10 hour battery life.

Do you also give 40-50% raises to your employees every 2 years?

Everyone knows that you can and get those pay bumps if you switch jobs, but want to penalise it.

I will say this differently, if you see short stints as a bad thing, there are two options:

1) you want to explore people that have difficulties negotiating/interviewing

2) you will hire dumb people (because unless you are curing cancer, anyone that rejects 20-50% pay bumps every couple years is just dumb)

> Discord and Slack do not solve the exact same problem as IRC. [...] Voice messages, image sharing, custom emotes, group chats, etc, etc.

Sure, but you could always share http links to images. IRC had private messages, too, and e.g. Matrix' group chats (or even private chats) are "rooms", i.e. IRC channels. Not sure how important custom emotes are, and you could share an http link to a meme.

I don't think those are fundamental differences. Maybe it looks better if your images load in your Slack client (instead of having to open an http link), but that's cosmetic. Also a modern IRC client could load the images pointed by the http link, and even handle voice messages this way, couldn't it?
Time to Get Fit – An Open Letter from Altimeter to Zuck and Meta Board
The largest domestic breeds push up to 300 to 400 kilos. We had one free-range pig on our farm that was certainly over a quarter-tonne, and she was agile enough that she'd occasionally run down chickens and eat them, and jaws strong enough to chew up cow skulls left over from home-kill.

Pigs are generally smart and friendly if they haven't been mistreated. I would not want to mess with one.
What key problems do you mean? Does e.g. IRCv3 solve them?

There’s plenty of manufacturing devoted to quality, but often are outcompeted by outsourced manufacturing using questionable labor and lacking environmental safeguards.

I think, asbestos is a good example of gone by times. Same as leaded gas, or benzol. They are superior products from simpler times.

There were made with a singular purpose and everything else was sacrificed to that purpose, even the health of us all.
In chemistry in general, a lot of times, minute impurities can have a massive role on the properties of materials (this is especially apparent in food, were flavors are basically entirely defined by chemicals found in ppm quantity). Modern process control essentially works by having the needed and acceptable impurities measured in precise amounts, and relying on chemists and metallurgists to monitor how these impurities come about, but this kind of control has only really been possible for a century or maybe two.

In more ancient times, the process control instead basically relied on "get your ingredients from this well/mine/whatever". So while we actually have a decent idea of what Greek fire is (it's a kind of napalm), we don't have any way of knowing what their actual source of naphtha was, so we don't know what the precise impurities that gave it its best kick were. (I'll also opine that there were probably several different formulas in use, and we may be ascribing properties of different kinds of Greek fire to the same one, which would mean that the search for "the" formula for Greek fire could only ever be a failure.)
Seriously! Some of the most frustrating coworkers I've had to deal with over the years are the ones who just churn out reams of lightly-considered code, as though they are getting paid by the line.

I would be far more impressed with an AI which could spot hidden redundancies and suggest opportunities for code reduction.
I think you can go farther than this that it's in the interests of industry to deflect blame to individual citizens because it distracts from the fact that big problems need to be solved at choke-points, and manufacturing is one of the biggest ones we have.

No it’s not.

Privately communicating with direct competitors about pricing is invariably the first step of an illegal price fixing conspiracy.
I think the sibling comment on this thread kind of disproves this to some extent. Sure, some simple in-memory search library might be good enough for a command palette or for "apps", but the fact that even tiny docs and "marketing" sites that try to implement site search are almost always outdone by google "site:example.com query" really goes to show how much value a full stemming / synonym clustering / syntax normalizing search engine can bring.
If the encryption is good, shouldn't it be fine to say that you use it? E.g. I need to share my public PGP key, but it does not make me particularly vulnerable, does it?
Sorry for the critique on form instead of content but man, this is hard to read. Putting periods where commas belong or where a sentence should be rewritten for clarity is an obstacle to easy comprehension.

I don't think it's politics so much. The problem with developing all or most of our software on the coasts is that a few things will happen:

- The coasts, which have a wildly different culture than much of the US if not the world, develop an outsized influence on and in software

- It removes people from their families for no reason eg: Tech is not like Wall St in the 90's where you needed to be there to be successful

- Tech is lucrative and it concentrates money in the innovation core of the US, which then prices out poorer states over time eg: How long will people in the middle of the US be able to afford the next iPhone if iPhone pricing is commensurate with the California standard of living and cost model?
I really want to support and try the Framework, but my experience with Intel lately has mirrored this.

Poor drivers, weird iGPU issues. Even my last Intel MacBook Pro had some issues.

That, plus it’s puzzling to me that perhaps the most viably customizable thing - the keyboard (which the author of this post also calls out) is available in such few configurations.

I would love a keyboard with a non-Windows super key, with a FN / Ctrl / Super / Alt layout.

Offering an array of layouts isn’t even a viable option on anything else, so this seems like a market they could own.
