I think the issue is that li-ion isn't that much better than NiMH as to be worth it. It's also worth noting that there are already standard sized Li-ion batteries. 18650 batteries (so called because they are 18mm diameter by 650mm long) are the most common, but there are a bunch of other standard sizes. These are commonly used in things torches (flashlights) and headlamps.

"Nothing is stopping anyone from staying at home and acting like they're in a theater"

This is incorrect. The temptation to use the deleterious conveniences stops me. Going to the theater forces me into a certain posture.
> It's not like the aesthetics the author is complaining about were chosen for purpose like a farmer painting his barn red because red is cheap

I would completely disagree. "Rich enough" is mostly meaningless, there are a 1000 different subsystems running under this that make a slight deviation in a product increase in price massively. From laws and regulations on consumer products and housing rules, to what gets shipped overseas in massive container ships.

Go by a 'decent' wooden end table, it may cost you around $1000. Now go have a custom end table made to your specifications. Do not be surprised if it costs you an order of magnitude more and takes a year for an artisan to produce.

Modern costs are low because of mass production. When you can create 5 grey SKUs that cover 98% of the market and mass produce thousands to millions of them all of a sudden looking at producing a 'weird red' SKU is going to eat into your profits considerably unless you can recoup that by charging a much higher cost for that product.
Hmm. If an alien race a million years older than humans eventually figured out how to make synthetic wormholes on demand for FTL when no other method existed, can we theorize what the endpoint might look like?

(this is a "fun" but not kidding question)
This problem led us to self-hosting Gitlab four years ago, I can't believe it's still an issue in 2022.

It's appalling that a "developer product" like Github remains such a blocker to IPv6 adoption, especially for highly Github-reliant communities like the Golang ecosystem.

Launch an IPv6-only VM and try to build a mainstream Go project.
I mean he is only saying JS=BAD in the context of downloading and executing obfuscated non-free javascript. The scenario where JS isn't downloaded and executed (e.g. outside browser) isn't even being what's talked about here much less being also lumped into the BAD group, so it's weird that people here are making this about JS at all, when it's clearly not.
I agree with this. I feel sometimes people talk about things becoming "uglier," but I choose to find the beauty in things, including ugly things. In fact, I have seen things I thought to be ugly, but once I started looking for the beauty in them, they became beautiful.
There is nothing objectively beautiful about modern architecture. Brutalism, for example, is talentless nonsense.

Before the advent of "everyone gets sued", the ADA, nuclear war, etc there was actual creative freedom. Now, everything is just one size fits all. Just in case you happen to attract the wrong attention.

Architecture really is a reflection on how mind numbingly dull modern life actually is.
America is designed to be looked at while zooming by at 50 mph. Auto infrastructure is incredibly ugly and takes up a massive amount of places. If anyone has an example of non-ugly auto infrastructure I would love to see it.
> We have nothing old, and cannot imagine that anything might become old.

Obviously wrong. America has an enormous amount of beautiful "old" architecture. Most streetcar suburbs are shockingly beautiful, from the utilitarian carriage houses all the way up to the mansions and large public buildings. It all predates WW1. The reason truly is psychological. At the elite level (public institutions, taste makers), it was an infatuation with European iconoclasts wrapped up in an anti-establishment fervor after WW1.

Ironically, it's the unenlightened idiots in America that clung/cling most to archaic, conventional notions of beauty and comfort.
It really does feel that things become more ugly as time goes on. It feels like everything must look as utilitarian as possible, and that nobody thinks beauty means anything.
Ask HN: If metaverse HN existed, would you hang out here?
Let's say the admittedly somewhat shallow version of meta's vision of the future plays out.

In that future, a Hacker News space in the metaverse opens up and enough people have hardware to utilize it. Imagine a log cabin nestled in fourier trees next a river of 1s and 0s (or just a regular log cabin in a regular forest next to a babbling brook).

Would you hang out there? Wait to see what people discussed? Chat about stories of the day? Take in the sights?
I live in Paris, went to Wales this summer, found the relative lack of roadsigns very nice, came back to Paris, found the overabundance of roadsigns uglier than before, went to Prague, found the overabundance of signs, large roads and cars within the city ugly, came back to Paris, found it a bit prettier.

Ugliness, envy and jealousy, inextricably mixed.
Are you being instructed to push your repo to a build server and have it run Hugo and deploy the public folder to your webserver? That seems very reasonable. If you are being told to push your repo to the web server to have it do the build then that seems like a bad idea.

For what it is worth, we use Hugo to build a public folder (build done in the cloud) that we deploy to a versioned tree on our web servers. When the build and deploy is done, we update the path that is being served. We tend to keep 3 releases handy so falling back is again just a simple webserver config change.
That would be assuming the same amount of light was emitted in all directions. But we have no indication that that was the case.
Ask HN: Since when did 2FA become 3FA?
When did Google stop trusting 2FA? I have email accounts that have Google Authenticator codes.

Now when I sign into them, after I enter my 2FA code it'll ask me for a 3rd factor - it'll ask me "Verify it's you. Google wants to make sure it's really you trying to access" and then I have to do something with an email address or phone number.

How can I permanently disable that?

I want 2FA, not unexpected 3FA...
Yeah this is pretty much the case.

The important thing is that the light from the beam is sufficicently bright that it is not possible to resolve the surrounding region of space to see more detail.

Those glass boxes aren’t Postmordernist. They’re mostly aligned with Modernist architecture. Postmordernist architecture is a response and rejection of Modernism, and exhibits eclectic and playful design features. Check out the Postmodernist architecture article on Wikipedia. You may be conflating the general antipathy towards a Postmodernist boogeyman with any sort of modernist, neoliberal design system.
It didn't really, at least not in the beginning, because the Latin alphabet used in 1992 was similiar to a Turkish one, with many special symbols for Turkic sounds. However, few years later (I don't exactly remember when) it was simplified to include only a subset of "English" Latin glyphs, and special symbols were replaced by glyph pairs - so "sh" or "o`" both were a single letters in Uzbek alphabet. And now they are moving back to the special symbols.
Err, the premise is that Linux tech and effort is improving the appeal of Apple products, which hurts the more open, Linux-friendly competition. Look at the rest of this thread comparing MacBooks to other options. My point is that a MacBook without the free work by these hackers/tech would be a paperweight for development and the Linux-friendly options would get more business. Your retort of "take Linux tech away from Linux" doesn't make any sense.

Apple is entirely comfortable with using crypto to lock down its platforms when the competition is dead and users are left with no other choice.
The problem is that application performance doesn't only depend on the thing you want to do, but also depends on the low level implementation details and workload, which the programmer may not fully understand or in control of. Some operation may be optimal when executed alone but exists better alternative for batch processing. Some programs may be optimized for throughput but is really bad for low latency application. The designer have to consider these when designing their system, and compilers/library writers can't help much except write a more comprehensive documentation which the programmer will probably not read :).

I think abstraction guides implementation, so it is very beneficial to think about what will be the bottleneck in the application, and if a certain abstraction will hinder the performance or prohibit future optimization. And although a low level abstraction can in theory allow for better performance if the programmer spend enough time to optimize for it, they often won't and a simpler interface (with sane implementation and perhaps escape hatches for performance tuning) may allow for better performance with much less effort.
Looks cool, what was the motivation for writing another DHCP server - just for learning Rust or something else?
Not for hosting services, but for things like accessing Github.
Or Global Interpreter Lock.
I agree with you! It's not really that bad. The two biggest problems for me are the lack of namespaces/modules like you said, and the default dynamic scope (with the ability to enable lexical scoping).

They're both basically just ergonomic issues at this point, with prefixing names and always setting lexical scoping being cultural norms.
I roughly translate this to 10^15 x more photons per square meter of surface area at some standard distance.

This kind of architecture works it just requires a kind of unity and dedication to a common ideal that we no longer have.
How would you propose that? Cycles uses OSL, whereas Eevee is a raster OpenGL renderer. There’s very few things that can target both.

Unless you mean a different implementation per renderer?
Here is the thing that Discord got right:

1. Signing up and joining a server is dead simple. Anyone from 6 to 86 can figure it out in a minute.

2. Discord mimics our social circles instead of trying to redefine them. Remember the panic college kids who first joined FB felt when they realized their parents and employers were on there as well? Discord doesn’t have that problem. Google Plus circles was a similar idea except it was overthought and way too engineered. Discord is just group chat where you get to define your groups. It can use a few more features in terms of moderation, etc. but it really just works for the use case of talking to your coworkers, family, D&D group, and sky diving club without having to mix them all into one feed. It’s the equivalent of SMS group messages without the hassle of exchanging phone numbers between all parties so everyone knows who everyone is.

That’s it.
New construction in Europe is awful as well. Cheap, vinyl casement windows abound, brick veneer, pebble siding and disposable kitchens and fake flooring. They make homes that look like they could survive a bombing, but they're actually fragile and cheap buildings.

> building $10m houses out of shitty plywood and fake bricks glued on the fascade

A 10m home is probably not build of veneer. High quality construction is still available but you pay for it. Engineered wood is super high quality and expensive, plywood is a find cladding and there are higher end versions (Zip System for example) available as well. A modern, well constructed home today is unbelievable energy efficient and has an air-tight envelope by code. Yes, you can build cheaply too (essentially cardboard cladding in certain areas!) but you don't have to.

> We are simply an unsophisticated culture, with an education system that never exposes people to art or architecture. We're a nation of Nouveau riche pseudo-sophisticated country people who think that money = culture

What an unbelievably ignorant thing to say. Have you driven around a town made of mainly pre-war homes? Are you at all familiar with the various styles of different periods?
Every time a "journalist" complains about 5-over-1s an angel gets its wings.

Apartments should ONLY be Brooklyn brownstones or lofts, and the construction of anything new and vaguely similar to another building should be banned. Brutalism is the only approved architectural format.
> jet speed is 99.99% the speed of light

Does that mean a wave of particles is coming at us right behind the light flash?
I think things are ugly now because they are fake: made of fake, cheap materials.

It's much harder to make an ugly cottage home with beautiful wood than it is with vinyl.

Similarly, I'd say that music has become ugly because of autotune and the like.
Having "grown up" with IPv4, I'm slow to learn everything necessary to set up an IPv6 infrastructure. The times I did look into it, IPv6 seemed so much more complicated than IPv4, but maybe that's just because I'm just not familiar with it.

Are there any good resources on setting up IPv6 support from first principles?

I still get confused as to the "right" way to set up internal networks for IPv6, especially when DHCPv6 isn't universally supported (I'm looking at you Android).
Great article, quite provocative.
> You’d blow past Int64 in no time.

Not really. You only need to preserve according to the msb of each number. If you are adding 0(Int18)+1(Int18), you don't need 1(Int36) anymore than you need 1(Int18) or even 1(Int1).
Maybe it's because we're in the former Time Warner Cable/Road Runner part of Spectrum's territory, but we've had IPv6 for years now.

Not sure how long it was brewing internally, but the decision to move from Presto to Webkit was publicly announced in 2013; von Tetzchner stepped down in 2010 & resigned in 2011.

> the fact that all businessmen, especially new one, also make honest mistakes

But yes, absolutely this. The repeated decision to forgo open-sourcing is (imo) a fatal mistake - it's the number 1 cited reason for people not switching to Vivaldi & also the real tragedy of Presto's shutdown: no possibility of a community fork - for what was an engine that always outperformed all competitors efficiency-wise (Webkit was faster when coupled with new hw & a brick tonne of RAM, but still knocks out even the fanciest setups today when you open more than a tab or three).
I don’t know, I guess I’ve never seen it. But I would say in addition to my argument is that I don’t think there is anything about the MBA-ification of the world that has prevented bad decisions.

It just runs them through a calculator and committee first.
> Also you can't pattern match on a function return value IIRC.

You definitely can. A function return value is just any other value and you can pattern match on it directly, or with the `case` or `with` constructs.

Its not just architecture. People dress much more casually as well, we've all seen the pictures of the plumbers in 3 piece suits but even for office professionals jeans and tshirts are normal now. I think people stop trying to impress others? Or its elitist?
I kinda stopped reading where it started to equate a movie's box office revenue with its success. A successful movie is a movie that entertains its audience, not one that makes a few people rich. The correlation is there, but it's weak.

I don't consider it problematic to see movie theaters go out of fashion and movie makers take a deeper look at what makes their art an art.

Is a metaverse defined only with respect to the VR medium through which the virtual world is experienced? Metaverses (virtual worlds) already exist all around us online, and yes I already hang out in several of them.
Tolerance is tiresome. Putting up with nonsense, and being impelled to consume metaphorical shit, is vulgar to the soul.

In art, the nonsense is the lack of honesty. Inauthenticity brought forth and exhibited for all of us to see. People without a shred of depth having the obnoxiousness to put something out that appears to be more than it is. The hubris.

Each passing day, I understand the wisdom of the French and their intolerance more.
I'd disagree. There are a few (or more?) actors, directors and producers that make movies solely for receiving the Oscar nomination/win. One example is "The Deer Hunter".

The Kongo-Müller (1920-1983) interview (Der lachende Mann, DDR, 1966) is worth a watch —— but only at a time when one is otherwise well-disposed towards the innate good-nature of humanity.
The thing is, computers are pretty cheap. And you still need electronics to turn your phone into a laptop or a desktop, which might contain mini embedded computers themselves. Would it really be that much cheaper or even simpler? (Forgetting my nerd-type need to run a Plex server and so on.)

Like, with TVs. Like a lot of people I want something more like a display, than a crappy computer running a crappy operating systems, since I use my own set-top box and such. But I don't think the parts needed to turn a TV into a crappy Android computer are really all that expensive. (Also "thin clients" are often just decent computers themselves!)

All that being said I personally like the idea of having a giant house supercomputer like the one in Enterprise, with various tablets and such just interfaces to that one single computer.
I had an idea years ago when I still had the young man’s dream about writing a programming language. It came after I took over a J2ME project that was trying to do a great deal of functionality in an 85K jarfile.

That idea was that there should be a little language inside of each big language that is used to implement the self hosting aspects of the language, and then a small set of additional libraries would provide a usable embedded variant of the ecosystem, good for small places and things that have to start quickly.
As others have said, its not quite the same as the Sun's output, but it is still an incredible amount of light.

I have studied blazars fairly extensively in the past and you are right that the brain cant really fathom the 'real world' appearance of these things. I resort to just thinking in terms of number of photons and avoid thinking about the rest, as it tends to result in a lot of existential dread and drinking.
Basically automating variant creation and modifying assets for various level of details.

I appreciate this article. I have experienced the part of my battery being low and I wasn't aware of it. I'm much better at taking care of myself today in the workplace. My workplace encourages argument and debate, something that I really love about working there, however sometimes people can be quite abrupt. Normally, I don't take it personally, but when I start taking it personally, that's my cue to take a break, take a walk, eat a sandwich.
I see it the other way around: blockchain people are desperately looking for a problem for their solution. If you ignore how the real world (and thus Governance) works and squint a bit then yes, you have a "killer app" for blockchain which isn't scamming people.

The thing is when you compare your problem to a range of solutions you almost always discover that blockchain isn't even close to usable.
That's a pretty naive statement. No kernel dev knows what the rest of it is doing. Because the rest is a tens of millions of lines code base.

If don't have the money to build, then you bid over whatever is on the market; whatever some developer and architect duo thought would differentiate themselves ten or twenty years ago. People prioritize commute, distance to family, distacne to the grocery, school zones, number of bedrooms and space, kitchen/bath vintage, and price way, way before what a home actually looks like on the outside. No one really wants to live in a McMansion, but outward appearance is so far down on the priorities that it doesn't matter.
Depends on the width of the beam. If it's as wide as a laser pointer, the odds of it hitting anything are infinitesimal. When something's a light year away, changing the bearing of the laser by a degree will cause you to miss it by hundreds of thousands of kilometers. Or to rephrase, to hit something a light year away you'll have to get the heading accurate to many decimal points. (Exercise left to the reader, it's high school trigonometry, but I'm rather lazy).
