Hey Peter! It's so humbling to see you check out my blog!

Your articles on awk and sed were a huge inspiration to me around 2008-09, and I super-looked up to you. Never have I imagined you would check out my blog one day!

Thank you for all your work dude! Stay awesome.

nitpick: People confuse simple and easy. Losing weight is simple (don't put food in your mouth), but anyone who's obese can tell you it is not very easy to eat less.

Likewise eating vegetarian is simple but to many, not easy.

Wow, that's beautiful. On modern hardware, I would probably have just used the pext hammer, which would perform fine, but not with anything approaching the elegance of that solution.
I don’t envy the moderator(s), but there’s a lot of flagging for otherwise decent comments / posts lately. It happens lot with “political” content.

Unfortunately, political includes anything these days lol why is covid19 political? Why is Elon buying Twitter? Why is climate change for that matter?

All I can say is it is. The flags reduce the positioning.

There may be other stuff as well, I’m unsure.
Carl and David don’t cheerlead so they don’t have anything to apologize for.
It was the 2nd largest decline in the history of the company (the largest was February) how is that not of intellectual interest? It got Jim Cramer, the person who popularized the term "FAANG" to cry on camera about how wrong he was. This signals a major change in the recent history of the tech industry (especially when combined with the other massive dips we've seen this week).

However I do think it got coverage today on the frontpage that OP might have missed.

But to the OP's larger point, it's bizarre to not see Musk on the front page.

My good faith assumption is that dang is simply trying to figure out how to consolidate countless new posts into a single one so as to not flood the front page with slight variations on the same story.

Nonetheless there has been increasing and silent censorship of relevant topics here and I think it at least deserves some sort of explanation in this case.
The question wasn't powerful, it was important.

Humans are roughly interchangeable with each other, so in a wide view they can be roughly equally important.

But we're capable of so many things nothing else is.
Agreed. I'd expect the average HNer to emphasise with those terms as we all work in complicated and intense industries, but I guess there will always be disappointment as non-Conservatives join the World Wide Web.
Pumped hydro can be built entirely off rivers. There's a plan to put a reservoir for one on top of a mesa in the desert in Arizona, for example.

Then you should oppose ads. You are literally trading your time to compensate for content, as opposed to trading your money for content.
their "own engine" I think is a euphemism here - its arguably several different ones. By many internal accounts, engine development has been hell (see the Cyberpunk launch issues), with each game CD Project Red start being in many ways a complete rewrite to the extent its not charitable to describe it as a single engine.

I think less time on game engine tech and hopefully more on shipping creative features sounds good to me, although it is sad to lose yet another independently developed game engine.
From what I've observed, the uptick in botted/recently created accounts tweeting about that particular user has been pretty dramatic in the last few days.

Given how poorly XCOM ran, I was convinced it was written in Unity. Eventually looked it up one day and nope, Unreal.

Great game though.
> contempt for Musk being against censorship.

Speaking of emotion, this is a far cry from a good faith read on this.
I mean it's his money, right? He can do whatever he wants with it. Corporations are not democracies and it doesn't matter what market analysts think about how he should spend his own money and on what projects.
From my pov this is mostly a bullsh*t stat peddled by politicians, like Dean Preston, to oppose building. Units count as vacant, for instance, if they are for rent and no one has moved in yet.

https://socketsite.com/archives/2022/02/there-are-not-40000-...

I'm not really sure if its fair to say a unit being renovated or on the market for one month are vacant in a way meaningful to the discourse on housing people.
This is interesting cause it’s exactly the opposite for me. I’ve pixel 6a right next to me but my sim is still on my iPhone cause I just can’t find the apps I want on the android :)
I believe by “first unlock” they mean a login/unlock right after a reboot. So - turn on device, do first unlock, then lock again.
Might be wrong, but afaik the very first unlock after a reboot is bit different then subsequent unlocks (I guess cached memory etc)
They mean that the device is in a state where it’s locked after having been unlocked at least once after booting.

That first unlock after booting decrypts a bunch of things.
Yep, even here on HN.

I hope Musk turns Twitter around and makes it a great platform.
It's geographically dependent if built on rivers. Beyond rivers the possibilities expand enormously.
Meta's stock price is not interesting in any way. not even a little.
>Meta is spending a lot of money on R&D right now (good news for longterm investors);

... only if your r&d pays off. If you keep spending ten billion each year on something that looks like a second rate version of second life ca. 2010 combined with VRChat it's fair to say you may have a problem.
In person those tunnels are quite claustrophobic. You have to bend over quite a bit and at the same time you're thinking that there's thousands of tons of rock above you.

Apologies for strawmanning you
Show HN: 60FPS smooth, no matter how janky app was due to heavy build/layout
An iPhone requests the user’s password upon restart, this would be referred to as “first unlock”. The reward is for an exploit that takes place against a _locked device_ but only after it has been unlocked once first. As in, an exploit that applies to the Lock Screen when the device was previously unlocked at least once. It is likely easier to trick a locked system into unlocking after it has already been unlocked the first time, due to password storage, credentialed background processes, and so on.
Own and operate, with the guidance that they should be break-even.
„Locked device after first unlock“ => the device is locked but was unlocked at least once after boot. I guess this loads some keys from the tpm into ram. Using Face ID for example requires an initial unlock via the users pin
Hi friends, after a month working on it full-time, I managed to make arbitrary Flutter apps ~60FPS smooth regardless of how janky it originally was due to build/layout.

For demonstration, there is a 3-second video in GitHub README. You can also find more details in the "Benchmark" chapter, where I experimented it and see it runs at (roughly) full FPS, feel smooth, has zero uncomfortable janks, with negligible overhead.

There are two ways to use it: For common scenarios, just add six letters ("smooth"), such as using SmoothListView instead of ListView. For complex cases where you want customization, use SmoothBuilder and put things that you need to be smooth inside the builder (just like how you use Builder everyday, but smooth).

As for how it is implemented, I have written down a full chapter ("Design" chapter) in the documentation.

Story time: Indeed I have failed a ton of times before finding out this solution. The "literature review" section summarizes them so I do not repeat here. It is another ton of failures before the theory becomes truth. At around half a month I was almost going to give up, because it stuck at less than 40-50FPS instead of the perfect ~60FPS, and my theory seems does not consider the scenario after a janky frame properly at all. But later I managed to patch my theory to fix the problem (seen in "post draw frame" section of doc). After that I fixed many edge cases one by one, where each problem causes (for example) 1FPS drop, then finally reached near 60FPS.
I've switched back and forth over the years. Sometimes 1 laptop, sometimes a desktop and a laptop. It's just easier to only have one computer. Even with cloud, synching, dropbox, etc. Having a single machine is just easier. You can put it to sleep, wake it up, and your own compiled services are still running.

The solution to keyboard / mouse / monitors / webcam / mic / speakers, is a powered USB-C hub. One plug, and you're at a desktop. This wasn't practical on Macs until the M1. With an M1 Air I did tons of work with no slowdowns for two years. It slowed down once or twice so now I'm on a Pro. PS. you can move between rooms very easily. And travel.

Edit: You're right about gaming. Mac fails at this, desktop or no. I played WoW and Stardew on my i7 Mini with an eGPU, but Apple Silicon doesn't have eGPUs, and no good games work on it. This also goes for VR.
Really wonderful experience. I don't comment here much but this is really great. Bravo.

> Jim Cramer

I don't come here to read about what Jim Cramer is doing. I don't care about that at all. If I did, I would just turn on my TV. I come here specifically because stuff like that is not here. Plenty of other websites also cover that type of content.

Not every website need to cover all the same stuff. Thats what used to make the web great, was niche sites and diversity of content.
I'm the same way. It's fun while it lasts!
> Addition: And I think one thing that really hurt the Android ecosystem is when Android phones went through that phase of every phone flagship phone had some sort of gimmick. Where as Apple really just buttoned down and developed a really solid phone. A lot of android phone makers were just focusing on gimmicks like styluses or niche features to set them apart from other Android instead of just really developing a good solid smart phone.

This is how I look at it as well. Because anyone can make an Android phone, Android phone makers had to either race to the bottom or come up with their special gimmick. Those that came up with a gimmick became the phone for people who care about that gimmick. But this ceded the domain of "people who don't particularly care about which phones have which gimmicks," aka most people, to Apple.

Pixel managed to break out of this by having their gimmick be "flagship by the people who wrote most of the OS, so, just generally well-implemented," but it took a while to get there.
what amazing timing completely coincidental with the midterm elections
I was a little skeptical. Repeated the steps.
Indeed it asks for camera access.
> These are the two biggest stories in tech this week, but not apparently on HN.

Maybe because HN isn't meant to be a substitute for mainstream news? Idk what the creators' intentions were, but I'd prefer it stay a niche community.

The problem with mainstream news imo is it will drag in people who aren't invested in the site
So I stated:

> The longest living populations are eating diets that are heavy on plants yes, but not vegetarian or vegan.

The people longest living at the adventist church are pesco-vegetarians which are not vegetarians as far as I’m concerned. Also as far as I’m aware, there is no significant difference between the Adventist church goers in terms of life expectancy and the other blue zones, which are also consuming small to moderate amounts of meat, dairy, fish and alcohol.

Weird to be arguing that photography is dead when the number of pictures taken every day is experiencing super exponential growth. Lugging a 10lb chunk of glass and magnesium around on your neck otoh … _that’s_ dying.
Trust. He probably has a few engineers he trusts.
Most references to Fuji in the article are them being lumped together with failed film makers and that's the only positive mention of them, again, lumped in with otbers.

Nevermind that they have a successful line of digital APS-C cameras plus the aforementioned medium format cameras and are a pioneer of professional-quality mirrorless cameras. They're also still growing.
HN is largely a collaborative filtering platform with moderators. In collaborative filtering, the users ARE the algorithm. So, what's going on with you?
As it should be. The media should not reward such delusional and dangerous self-harm. Coverage of such selfish perpetrators leads to copycats.

Economic viability is largely a question of competition between alternatives. As long as 60% iron ore is available there is little reason to focus on 30% iron ore and so on. Today 60% iron ore is only worth about 100$/ton.

Hypothetically, if we where down to 5% being the best option, then chances are your backyard would be just as viable as anywhere else. Plants will happily grow grow with up to about 55% iron in their soil. So in some place you could literally just use surface dirt as your “ore.”
>They are blamed for displacing populations, disrupting the flow of sediments and the migration of fish, destroying natural habitat and biodiversity, degrading water quality, and for the decay of submerged vegetation and the consequent release of methane, a greenhouse gas. There is thus no longer a place for Big Hydro in the pantheon of electric greenery.

Dams are blamed for displacing populations, disrupting the flow of sediments and the migration of fish, destroying natural habitat and biodiversity, degrading water quality, and for the decay of submerged vegetation and the consequent release of methane, a greenhouse gas because that is exactly what they do.

>Instead, that pure status is now reserved above all for wind and solar. This ennoblement is strange, given that wind projects require enormous quantities of embodied energy in the form of steel for towers, plastics for blades, and concrete for foundations.

What does he think they build dams out of?
I would be curious how far DeepMind could get if they moved into this field. Would perfectly fit into the list of fields they turned upside down (or at least 45 degrees) in the recent years.
Looks nice but runs extremely slowly.
> the target in question really has nothing to do with the petroleum industry.

This is correct. The target is an irreplaceable piece of art. It's supposed to stand in for the earth (or some subset like nature). That's the point. The stand-in for the petroleum industry is whatever commodity they are throwing at it

It's also pretty logical because it doesn't actually cause permanent damage, but sensationalist headline writers make it seems like it did. So the stories get more virality then they otherwise would.
I doubt his target market is HN users. He wants the youngest generation to get VR and grow up using it. Minecraft, Roblox, all the clones ... many billions of dollars. If you own the platform, even more. Then, when they hit adulthood, they are natives in the technology.
Right, and at the same time we've seen wages go up appreciably for the low end of the labor market for the first time in a long time.

I'm not saying there wouldn't be other issues with clamping down on immigration, but if you're trying to tackle the supply and demand issue it's the easiest way to handle it.

It has everything to do with it. You seem to be assuming the US is some kind of paradise that everyone would live to live in, despite the horrible culture, broken healthcare system, and mass shootings every other day.

You can't just throw money at people and get them to come work for you wherever you are. Only some people will take the opportunity, others will decide other things are more important than money.
And yet it’s still boring, sorry. There’s nothing of inherent interest in this. Nothing with any substance about technology, science, or ideas. It’s a change in stock price. I would be interested if I owned shares, but I don’t.

Your theory about consolidating stories seems reasonable. But speculation about how HN works is also boring.

I wasn't seeing that popup ad "every time", but after the third one, I said screw it and canceled my paid subscription. Unforgivable.
Interesting. I still don't see a ELI5 explanation how you achieve this? If this fixes Flutter, why not put these changes in the main Flutter source? I'm a bit confused, if this is a 60 fps for free with some renaming, why is it that easy? Something feels fishy here. This is cool, dont get me wrong, but I just dont see how its "this" easy to fix jank/60 fps.
If that’s true then why aren’t the more upvoted posts getting ranked higher than the less upvoted posts. You didn’t address OPs comment at all.
You can just accept that meat is a human food. Animals die for it.
The natural world involves animals eating other animals.
If you have to kill male calves because you're on a dairy farm then you kill the male calves. It's really not that shocking.

Yeah, I don't really want an EPIC store on my phone, but I'd love a GNU repo.

I dunno. Maybe Apple could allow stores on their phones, but still take a % of any purchases, to annoy EPIC and their ilk into buggering off.
changing the flow characteristics of a river is a massively disruptive event, not just for the species in the water but also the animals that rely on tertiary characteristics and effects of that river. It changes the erosion patterns and sediment carrying capacity of the stream, it changes the seasonal flows that ecosystems have come to rely on, it changes nutrient transport, changes water temperature, changes oxygen content, and a million other things that make the stream less compatible with certain species and more compatible for others. Best case this results in loss of biodiversity, worst case it results in spread of invasive species that have even further impacts on an even wider swatch of the ecosystem. It doesn't make the ecosystem go away, it just changes it to a less settled one - generally when that happens the complexity of the ecosystem goes down until natural selection can catch back up and everything adapts to fill the same niches again, which is not a fast process.

It's hugely disruptive to ecosystems.
I think you said it better than I did. It’s not tech news, or anything interesting. It’s financial news, which is inherently boring.
They really need a Ipad app. Ill buy remote dev if it means I can code on my ipad.
That's $99 (per year(!!!)), which is not very free or open.
I don't know. Only a few premium models support stylus. Rather, I think most Android phones are too similar than ecosystem should. Most phones are just big heavy and camera-focused. There are some gimmicks like Galaxy's edge screen but not every phone. Speaking about gimmicks, Dynamic Island. You may just want to say Android phone is crappier than iPhone.

What does the location of the reservoir matter? If you're taking a river and pumping it up on top of somewhere (a mesa in your example) aren't you going to cause the river to basically run dry everywhere downstream of where your pump is?
