> What's the benefit of being able to repair something that doesn't break?

With RAM, generally the ability to upgrade the capacity, which can extend the useful life of the device.
Found it!

It now redirects to the FTX page. They want to memory hole this one.

Some broad strokes on hot topics:

Raytracing: Exciting, useful, pretty. We need to support it asap. A pull request was recently opened to add
initial support to Bevy's low level gpu abstraction (wgpu), so I'm excited!

Nanite-style rendering: Very cool. Not yet sure its the best approach for Bevy, but I'd love to explore this!

Proprietary Engines Taking Cuts Of Sales: Game developers should be investing their time in open tooling without contracts or restrictive licensing. We have the experience. We should own our own tools. And there are so many more of us than there are Unity or Unreal developers. Proprietary tooling is a massive loss of potential.

AI Generated Art and Code: empowering and definitely the future, but currently an ethical disaster. Licenses are ignored. Artist's work and identity is assimilated without consent.
I was not expecting to see this comment at the top of this thread but since it is here… this UI really sucks on mobile (at least on iOS).

A couple of immediate problems:

1) I am no longer able to visually distinguish folders from files, where did the folder icon disappear?

2) Swiping back is weird, sometimes it does work, sometimes it doesn’t. When it doesn’t, it either leaves me with a blank screen, or loads back what I just swiped away.

3) This really aggravates me, swipe back doesn’t preserve scroll position on long file listings, it renders the contents and scrolls to the top. This is really bad.

4) Where’s the footer?!

5) The whole thing just feels slow.

GitHub ui is getting worse on mobile as time goes. For example, why can’t I fork a repo from the mobile page?

I don’t know how you measure how your UI is used but I don’t think me browsing the code while sitting on the throne, or looking up a piece of code while laying in bed is so unusual. Maybe some of you should try that before such half baked stuff is released with much fanfare. Because the way I read it is “we’re excited to announce that we have broken your GitHub experience”.
The NY AG was unable to shut them down but they are banned from doing any business with US customers, directly at least.

If Tether are committing massive fraud, and it may be true, it will eventually collapse. Truth is, I don't know how, but they've been incredibly resilient so far.
> Still waiting for your argument on why the big 7 wall street banks should be involved in the money supply instead of democratically elected leaders, which was my primary point.

Are you replying to the right post? I don't see any mention of that
Same at times, sqlite driver etc but you quickly need redis or sqlite taps out on some more complicated or better supported framework feature you need.
when we do it all over again.

I think that by itself undermines you all on its own. There are some unique aspects here— crypto had been getting a bit more mainstream credibility and it will take long to rebuild than it did to build, but, as you said, the cycle will only repeat, and every time the collapses get bigger. Totalling up the last few months is topping $2Trillion.

If something is going to change there needs to be a fundamental reassessment of both the tech and the philosophy driving things.
Don't know if you're still following this thread, but I agree with the responder that the civic structures of society are increasingly replaced by schooling and subscription-based hobbies. I think there are many opportunities to socialize kids without school, but they're not quite as ubiquitous--and they won't become common until lots of people are doing them, like I plan to.

Also, speaking delicately, a lot of poorly-socialized homeschooled children have poorly-socialized parents, and were doomed from the start. I am gregarious and involved in many different social circles (athletics, music, engineering, etc.) and should be able to expose my kids pretty thoroughly to them.
It seems to me that pretty much any job not involving physical labor could be filled by a 70-year old. Why would someone 60+ not be able to be a banker, a civil servant or even a lathe worker? There's a vast amount of jobs these days that don't involve much or any physical labor at all.

> think the consequentialist underpinnings of EA are part of the story

I've thought before that EA is charity for sociopaths. Nothing recently has shaken that view. There are plenty of EA quotes that support the 're-framing' point you make, stuff ling Singer saying "take advantage of strategies other people are biased against using".

Fortunately, with FTX collapsed there is a little less risk that someone will actually fund them to move forward with the idea of genociding all the wild animals on earth (on the basis of it being the most efficient way to reduce total suffering because wild animals are suffering). So, I guess that's a little silver lining on the FTX implosion.
Damn the matrix is so close

They always give you the information, too. People just don't always like to read it. Some people don't care, and others just jump on whatever bandwagon they can find.

Almost everyone who has lost their shirt in financial derivatives in the past 50 years could have learned about the risks they were taking from some text in a prospectus somewhere, but chose not to.
Even a broken clock is correct twice a day but a broken record stays stuck on repeat for those with nothing better to listen too.

This is still the best century for innovation :)
This is already possible if you control the mesh UVs and/or the shader (both in 2D and 3D). In Bevy 0.9, in 2D sprites can now define the bounds of the texture they want to display.
For me the big selling point is that it supports booting encrypted ZFS with zstd compression and other modern features enabled. So your boot pool doesn't have to be restricted to the GRUB set while still giving you all the goddies (and more, since you can just drop to a linux shell)
Interesting to discuss this. Assuming Epstein was killed, I think Epstein case is special for his strong connections with the US power AND knowledge about these people and organizations. I don't it is easy to work at the jail level (without leaving tracks) if you are not a US insider. I see the SBF case different: he has screwed people around the globe with multiple different ethics about how to solve the issue. I see his position comparable with Salman Rushdie situation but not related with religion.

BTW, where can someone learn about the Epstein story? In the surface it seems a very rare character, for me, at least, it is difficult to connect the pederastian and procurer with someone who made a lot of money from other unknown activities. It seems these two, are separate things and it is not clear why he don't just pursued one of these activities and why he and Maxwell were abusing people at the same time instead of separating their business with their personal sexual choices. Top drug dealers see drugs as a business because having an addiction will ruin it.
Jobs and Apple were certainly in severe cost cutting mode (and cutting in general - even profitable parts that Jobs thought diluted Apple's focus) but closing the library probably wasn't needed to save Apple. Librarians were a drop in Apple's cost bucket (vs. useless middle managers who survived Jobs, hundreds of millions in restructuring costs, the $75M repurchase of Power Computing's macOS license, etc.) and the productivity and morale benefit from the library was likely greater than its cost.

A glib Jobsian "they should know all that already" was also simply wrong.

In any case, a few years later Apple could easily afford it, but it was gone forever.
> These JavaScript UIs feel clunky and slow IMO

They don't feel slow, they are slow, even more so on mobile, but developers have stopped caring about mobile web performance a long time ago. So much for "flash is killing my battery", now it's Javascript.
> It seems all anyone cares about with crypto is how much richer they get in dollar terms when cryptos go up.

As I reckon it, people haven't, on net, been getting richer from crypto since around March of 2021. That isn't the all time high of Bitcoin but so far it has set the high water mark. People in it for easy money have probably been flushed out of the market by now, the high-hype gains are long gone.

> It amazes me how many people are blissfully unaware of the rampant tether fraud and the effect it could have on the whole ecosystem.

Which people? These aren't people on HN. I haven't seen anyone here who is unaware of what is going on.
FTX was only a few years old and offered 8% interest on all deposits under $10k. I told my friends that if they use them be ready to pull their money at a moment's notice. That's what I did as soon as the Coindesk article came out about Alameda's balance sheet. I knew it was high risk so I kept about a quarter of my crypto holdings on there and had my Ledger addresses whitelisted.
As others have noted, you have what appear to be credentials in your repo. If any of those are real, change those passwords immediately. Removing them from your git history only after you've invalidated the credentials.

Like, right now.

---

I also use a personal monorepo for all my projects, including an "experimental" directory for one-off things. However, I am (and you should be) much more careful about what gets committed.

One of my rules is that credentials never belong in the same directory tree as the repository. Entries in .gitignore are not sufficient to prevent accidentally committing sensitive info to the repo. Occasionally this rule takes a little effort -- e.g., some project templates default to using ".env" files for secrets, and to uphold my rule, I need to understand the tool well enough to configure a secure alternative.

Another thing that I find helpful for managing a large number of throwaway projects: a global .gitignore with defaults like "node_modules/", "target/" etc.
> A reasonable tradeoff to me seems to be that people do not have to take precautions like vaccination and masking but if so they can be restricted from public society

If you have this low a bar to holding people accountable for negative externalities, no one would be allowed outside.
Indeed - and an electric chair will kill even if it is both properly grounded and plugged into a GFCI socket capable of handling the current (aside: do electric chairs have UL certification? I doubt it, but the states in which it is still nominally an option presumably want the operators to be safe.)

If you are put / put yourself into the normal current path (such as while working on the innards of plugged-in and switched-on equipment), you are just the load (or part of it), and neither GFCI nor previous protection schemes will help you.
Quite the opposite of Malthusianism, actually. Birth rates in the west have declined in spite of ever increasing capacity to feed the populace.
A table would have been much more informative than a map.
Data oriented design is about designing for data locality, so that at runtime the program will utilise CPU caches efficiently.

http://gameprogrammingpatterns.com/data-locality.html
These aren't even the beginning of the factors involved in child birth rates. Population is controlled by religion, government policy, cultural practice, wealth, quality of life, social equality, education, trade, war, climate, and a host of other factors. Any one of them could change and affect the population; multiple could change and shift it radically. And we cannot predict any of them with certainty even in 50 years, much less 100, for the entire planet.

If you don't believe me, look at history. Plenty of times in history there have been great civilizations that grew and grew until they collapsed, or periods of great societal progress followed by periods of great strife, or periods of great feast followed by famine. Some of these periods lasted hundreds of years. Even today there are nations that forcibly control population whereas others do not. Some developing nations starve due to international trade policy while others grow to provide most of their needs. Some become more radically conservative while others grow more liberal. Some countries collapse economically while others become burgeoning super-powers. And all this in the face of global climate change on a scale not seen in millennia.
And yet, the two things I cared for as a user, are gone: scroll position no longer preserved on mobile devices, swiping back doesn’t work reliably.
This is just the first step of using React within GitHub.com, so we still use a lot of traditional Rails/ERB, even on the React pages (e.g. for the header/footer).
Sounds like (based on this thread of comments) that you're arguing that this should be a framework, where all the boring stuff is already taken care of, for run-of-the-mill, enterprisey projects.

Some people are doing things that don't fit neatly in such frameworks, and when that happens, they're fighting against it rather than actually choosing what they want to code.

If it is so onerous that not having QtSQL is a deal killer, then it sounds like Qt has some weird problems with how it's API is designed preventing it from being flexible. Otherwise, if it it easy to load your own data in to Qt from whatever source, SQL or not, then not having QtSQL is fine, it just means an extra hour of coding and a little extra boilerplate, whoopdeedoo.
Having heard of Django-Ninja before. Looks really good! If I understand correctly it would allow me to keep the best parts of Django (ORM, Admin UI) and build a FastAPI-inspired API? That’s an awesome combo! Curious to see benchmarks how it compares to ExpressJS.
What was the cure?
It looks like something was intermittently arcing and causing both the voltage fluctations and creating lots of EMI that disturbed the electronics. I agree with the others here that it doesn't seem the problem has been fully fixed, and a "lost neutral" could be the ultimate problem. Unfortunately these days it's rare to have incandescent lamps which will very clearly show a lost neutral by brightening as the voltage goes up, and a lot of electronics have universal input SMPS which will be fine with 85-250VAC.
I’ve been playing for maybe 100 hours over the course of a decade, and have reached level 8 maybe once or twice. I just keep getting killed by some stupid ant or wolf or whatnot.
I'm also "effectively retired" so that makes being out here for long stretches pretty easy. I own a bar, but I have 4-hour-work-weeked myself out of any steady obligations there. Of course, I'm working way harder out here improving the land than I ever would at the bar.

I'm a bit of a loner so it's easy for me to be out here. I visit my dad about every week, and that's plenty. My mom lives 1200 miles away, so I guess I have to choose. I don't actually have kids yet, so less of a concern at this point. I'd really like to find someone compatible with this lifestyle, but I would be willing to give it up under the right circumstances. My favorite thing out here is the freedom, and I can approximate that in many other places.

[Outcasts] I think the fears of racial tensions are mostly over-hyped. I'm not saying you'd never run into some overt racist out here, but the population density here is 8.8/sq mi. Compared to the 18,635/sq mi in San Francisico and I don't know...the odds seem greatly reduced, even if the racists are 10 times more likely (which they aren't IMO). I've only met good people so far, in my 7 years here. You get to choose where you interact, and so I've chosen places like Scouts, the school, and a volunteer group that protects our national river here. Great people in all 3 places. That said, it's very homogeneous in my particular county. I'm sure there's differences across the country, though.

[Friendships] I've considered moving over friendships. One, actually. I just don't want to move "back home" (Florida). I visit that friend for almost a month per year, though.

[Work] Yeah. I also worked remotely from here for a few years, and that went well. But there's no way I could have an office job & commute here. No way.

Your last paragraph is on the nose, and I'm definitely struggling with that. It winds up making me feel tied to several places and pulled in many directions. I also have diverse interests/hobbies/talents that do the same.

Anyway not trying to change your mind. I like the 8.8. And honestly I agree with all your points. Maybe my life will be wildly different if I meet someone. I better hurry up, I'm about to age-out!
They are form of wealth tax which is not nice, but they have pragmatic value for assessing consumption and also luxury consumption. A township might rightly charge more for services which are providing the economic value underpinning the property. And in many places, luxury taxes exist to tax 'non essential' forms of consumption in deference to things like investment, which is actually rational. Aka if your money is invested into value creating enterprise, it's not taxed the same way as your yacht or second mansion. That said, it can get excessive quickly.
I mean something else by a super app: it's an app that has different unrelated parts that can be split into separate ones. Like banking groceries, taxi, etc. Perhaps I misunderstand the term.
glad you asked. only Bitcoin is really decentralized. i recommend this blog for further education: https://dergigi.com/
Who are these 'we'? It's all up to personal preference in the end. As Github demonstrates by postponing SPA framework adoption, there are enough companies out there that share your desire to keep things simple.
All the people that were used to Bitbucket’s 20s page loads think Github is heaven.
Well, that's not terrifying in the least bit. Imagine knowing that you were born to a machine and not to a woman who you can call mother. On second thought, its not just terrifying, it is immeasurable sadness for most, and probably psychosis for some.
The vanishing old-growth forests
thank you for the heads up. I will do this immediately.
Yep, aware of these mobile issues and are actively fixing them, will hopefully improve in the next week or so.

And thanks for the feedback. We're in Beta right now exactly so we can get feedback so please don't hesitate to reach out (in-app, via Discussions https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/categories/cod..., or any other way you can reach us), even if it's something minor
If the people have no impact on policy, but our foreign coups can overthrow regimes, and foreign regimes can meddle in our elections... it stands to reason that the only way to overturn Citizens United is to fix a foreign coup and have the new regime turn around and interfere with our elections! There, problem solved.
The stated goal of privacy in money exchange is that we should not know who makes a transaction. The assumption is that people should themselves policy their money matters, independent of banks or governments. However, when a scam occurs everybody is asking police to to figure out who made these transactions, effectively supporting the identification of the people behind the funds.
>religion, government policy, cultural practice, wealth, quality of life, social equality, education, trade, war, climate, and a host of other factors.

Which all are taken into account, by the financially independent woman choosing to get pregnant (because they have access to very effective birth control and are not being forced to have sex, and have abortion as an option).

>And all this in the face of global climate change on a scale not seen in millennia.

I think the biggest thing that has not been seen regarding population dynamics is women having complete control over if, when, and how many children they have.
Most libertarian beliefs basically edge on anarchy via corporations.

Much of the crypto bros want "law is code" which basically means nothing is illegal.
Haven’t really looked into Bevy much before but it looks like a great engine with a nice clean data oriented design.

I’m curious as to what level of functionality it has beyond the basic nuts and bolts. Is there readymade support (either built-in to the engine or via community libraries) for features like skeletal animation, terrains, collision detection, text rendering, and prebuilt UI elements?
The early LISP crowd just didn't get the concept of making a product. The idea that eventually you generate an executable and leave the development environment behind was totally alien. I used Berkeley's Franz LISP in my years at the aerospace company. That was a compiler which generated .o files. So they were close to being able to do this.
But you didn't link the .o files; you had to load them into the development environment to run them. Compiling was just an optimization. I asked the Franz LISP devs why they didn't provide a runtime you could just link in, yielding a releaseable executable program without all the baggage for breaking and debugging. This was a totally alien concept to them.

INTERLISP and Symbolics were even worse - you were always in the development environment and couldn't get anything out except a saved state dump.

Eventually the LISP crowd got it and started generating executables, but it was too late by then.
Why not Svelte?
Why not Stimulus Reflex / Hotwire?
> GitHub ui is getting worse on mobile as time goes

Like Reddit, they’re probably trying to push you to the mobile app.
Eh, if it was sitting in a bank before and now it’s sitting in a different bank that’s not a difference. The depositors never got an unexpected increase in spending power, they just avoided an unexpected decrease.

What matters is where the old funds went. The bank might’ve been spending it out the back, but in that case the inflationary actions already happened.
Yes, I meant to include that in

>medical advances that address the risks and costs of childbirth
Answer: likely driving to work so I can contribute to a productive economy that incentivizes the development of new, greener, cheaper energy technologies and geoengineering techniques - which is a way to "save the planet" that DOESN'T involve total economic collapse and millions, maybe billions, of avoidable deaths.
There is still an important difference between giving information to the police for an investigation and sharing information publicly. Not at all the same thing.
C++ had a whole host of compilers and tooling/IDEs pushed by large private companies (Microsoft, Borland, Intel). I think that somewhat qualifies as institutional backing of another sort.
Isn’t SBF now in Argentina?

If exercise is so important, why are people not driven to exercise like they are driven to eat, sleep, and have sex? Despite so much research about the benefits most people do not exercise.
That seems like a good deal compared to what we have now. That's effectively RSS without the syndication.
The fact that Tether even counts as "crypto" shows that "crypto" is not about trustless decentralization, but about get-rich-quick schemes and money laundering. The entire value of Tether depends on putting blind trust in a private company issuing it.
