It's not trivial, but it's absolutely possible to build an instant-loading web game with WebGL. https://venge.io is my go-to example. You can click that link and starting from zero you can see 3D rendered content in about three seconds and be shooting people in multiplayer in less than 10 seconds (on a decently fast connection).

Of course the graphics there are not competing with Unreal, but in principle it should be possible to do progressive loading of assets and reach a much higher quality over time without sacrificing that fast initial load.
Incidentally, I've just been unpacking moving boxes, and put the beautifully illuminated [1] print of Mutual Aid on my "to-read" bookshelf.

I wonder how often this particular instance of Baader-Meinhof phenomenon happens on HN, i.e. what's the intersection of regulars here and people familiar with names like Kropotkin, Makhno, etc.

Unity is pretty good for smallish package sizes. There’s a few people in the Web Game Dev discord making money from Unity exports to the web on portals. That said I do think web native engines are the way to go ultimately as the package size will end up smaller in a like for like comparison. Unity games can be smaller than a lot of websites depending on how they’re put together.

The thing to keep in mind is overall audience expectations, the size of that market segment and how you want to monetise because that can result in some trade offs that are on the whole different to the average web app.

With all that said smaller initial packages, less processing on load and later streaming of assets should all be first line concerns for any web native engine.
> Now we use the steel only in the oven, which gets up to about 525-550F, and our outdoor Ooni.

Should I read that as "we use the steel only in (the oven, and our outdoor Ooni)" or "we use (the steel only in the oven), and our outdoor Ooni".

If it's the former, then why, and how?

If the latter, have you considered using a semicolon as high-precedence comma, e.g. "Now we use the steel only in the oven, which gets up to about 525-550F; and our outdoor Ooni."
At the time it was unfortunately both true that Apple needed idle CPUs for battery life and Adobe had no intention or probably no ability either to make that happen with Flash.
It is even poorly implemented in such ubiquitous tools as ls. For example if I always want output to be sorted by last modified the _only_ point of configuration is the command line. But I can control colors via either the command line or an environment variable.

I've lost count of the numbers of times I've straced commands to see where they pull configuration from or grepped thru codebases looking for getenv calls. Any unix consensus for configuration is in theory only not practice.

File location is actually pretty germane to precedence. A more "global" configuration cannot be applied if the program is looking for it in the wrong location in the first place. Let's not even discuss the horrible state of where to store local configurations in a users home directory. As long as it starts with a . it's fine :).

I've used Linux exclusively for nearly 20 years - but not because I loved its configuration management story.
It's also the AppleTV, not iTV (but that might be to avoid battling it out with ITV, a TV station).

With the exception of the iMac, there's also only Mac computers. Really there's only the iMac, iPad and iPhone left with the i prefix.
The math is obvious. If it's $6K vs nothing, I agree with you, but that's not what we're discussing. It's $6K vs minimum $5K/year. Asking people to ride a bike shouldn't be treated like a "craigslist purchase." Car replacements are serious pieces of machinery.
That was interesting, thanks for sharing.
I know this probably isn't worth much, but after reading through most of this thread, I must say I appreciate your efforts to explain the existence of the working poor here. I am probably biased, because you have essentially been representing the way my family was forced to exist for my entire early life (you have no idea how crazy spot on that "$300 car that just happens to be a corolla" example was --core memory unlocked, as they say), but either way, I just thought you should know that your efforts and apparently immense patience in the face of bad faith arguments and willfull ignorance is truly appreciated.
OP, you have mentioned the entries are encrypted. Could you please explain how? :)
I have had similar thoughts! Mine would be communitopia. Something I have seen almost done. The work slack is mostly public (not much at work is really that secret!) and interested devs chime in see what’s up and help out. Chuck a standard hourly rate their way, and if they seem real good, offer them a ticket to the intern island!

That first 20% of buffering is a lie. It'll manage to do that with no internet connection at all. Fair chance the hotel blocked netflix, or otherwise just doesn't have the bandwidth for streaming video.

In a similar vain: Is it possible to "fool" Netflix into giving me the highest bitrate stream?

I pay for Netflix Premium but currently don't have any 4k screens, but I imagine the extra bitrate would improve the quality at no cost (to me) when watching at e.g a 2560×1440 monitor.
Well it’s different as in this case it’s translated from a Cyrillic alphabet. Also, I would be surprised to read Köln in English as an English name exists for the city: Cologne.
A similar, common and safer mechanism is to just move water. Instead of spinning up a flywheel, water is pumped to an upper reservoir. When the power is needed, it's drained through a generator and the water can be reused when there is excess energy again.
That is entirely false. You can barely even use half the language without exceptions.
> But when applied en masse it's just a mass collection of extremely segmented bubbles.

We don’t exist in mastodon bubbles. we go out with friends. we visit families houses. we visit friends families. we visit dozens of other web sites. we interact with countless numbers of people every single day. we go to work. we go to school.

this “you’re going to live in a bubble!” panic is wild.
I think the same way you can't a have a sale year round if it's been a year it's just what they sell.
As the letter mentions, that's entirely up to the sentencing judge to decide. All the DOJ can do is to inform the judge that Ellison cooperated with them.

> Your steel fork is bent? Hit it with a hammer until it's true again!

I'm sorry, but this is BS. I don't think you can fix double/triple butted tubes easily, and even if you could, I wouldn't trust them any longer.

I once owned a steel-framed Italian road bike, made around 1985-1990. I bought it cheap because neither I nor the seller knew at the time that it was a real pedigree race bike, which meant lightweight tubes and probably quality steel (I don't know what it was made of, but the whole bike weighed in under 10kg with pedals, which for an older steel framed bike is excellent).

Then I crashed it, I went straight into a lamp post at around 20kmh. It was not a nice experience on myself, but the bike... the fork was bent backwards so that the front wheel went past the down tube. The top tube was bent, dented and bashed and cracked, almost unrecognizably. It was clear from the first moment that no-one will be riding that frame again...

...until a guy turned up to "buy" the frame & parts (I gave them away for free). Guess what, he just needed the lugs and he built a bamboo bike from them! That's how you recycle for good.
Why ChatGPT Is Actually a Win for Conversational AI Companies

It's not an investment vehicle. I just didn't want to be beholden to landlords, so I bought where I live, and it's expensive.

There's not a lot of room for downsizing.
>>Not OP, but do you actually think those situations are analogous? This feels like either a strawman or arguing in bad faith.

Yes, in fact it is as true as it gets. The thing is lots of things reduce to individual agency and responsibility and regardless one agrees with it or not, you are always in total ownership of any situation. Sure you can't buy a million dollar mansion inside a horse ranch. But there's always something you can buy.

There's always a minimal level of bootstrap anybody can start with. But you have to be very serious, very failure immune and be ok with taking multiple shots at the problem.

>>The more houses being purchased for rental, the fewer that are available for individual ownership and landlords typically own more than one home.

Have never ever seen homes go like hot cakes. You have time, you have lots of time. The question here really is do you want to buy a home? If yes, there is always something you can do about it. You might not get a million dollar home, but theres always something you can buy.
This already exists, though with a different process:

You did not depend on the manufacturer to do that maintenance. The manufacturer could have even gone out of business and you could still fix or find someone to fix your car.

You however depend on the original developer to click that build button because proprietary software. If it was FLOSS, you could.

But don't worry, thanks to DRMed parts you won't be able to fix anything on your car either (or phone, or any other smart device) without the involvement of the original manufacturer. Ain't property wonderful when the manufacturers intelectual property has precedence over your physical property?

Yeah Java people don't go the 'quite easy' way. They want some 10 indirections of builder classes to merely build the url alone. Then a factory class to create the connection etc. Then some response handlers to deal with the response. Then some dozens of classes to parse the response.

By the time you work around this you are lost in the forest of classes.
So on Saturday night after skiing, I had this urge to figure out, if I could actually make an almost useful app just with a few prompts of ChatGPT. I also wanted to make sure it doesn't just steal somebody else's code, so I tried something I assumed nobody has made yet: a sticky notes desktop app in Ruby. To my amazement it worked! Took maybe 30 minutes with some tests. I have never touched the UI framework gtk3 before! Thus the title.
It's different because in English, a diacritic of two dots (diaeresis) is used to show that a vowel is pronounced separately from the vowel that came before it, not as a mix. Naïve is one example, where it is pronounced na-ive, not nive. That said, I also like it, but it means something different here.

Its not an actual issue, it is the projected experience of another language and/or IDE/ tooling. Fyi the newest GitHub ignore case. But I have been using grep with nim code daily and it was not an issue.
AFAIK when going from one language to another you often have known transliterations. Sometimes that can be a mapping from "Ö" to "Ö".

For cyrillic a fixed transliteration is both more needed. "o" and "ö" sound different, but even if you pronounced any "ö" as "o" everybody would understand what you meant. This is different for cyrillic where there are many letters where typical western readers wouldn't even know how to pronounce them. A "Щ" would look like a weird "W", but is romanized as "shch" or "sch".

Even more extreme examples would be the romanization of japanese.
Looks like a great app, unfortunately it's Apple only. And you have to dig pretty deep into their website to confirm this suspicion, it's not stated explicitly anywhere - ok, the "Buy" link goes directly to the Mac App Store, but the text itself is written with the underlying assumption that they're only talking about the Apple universe. Would have been nice to clarify this right from the first header, e.g. "Professional image editing tools that anyone with a Mac or iPad can use."
Despite the smoke and mirrors it is actually an incredibly basic crime to unravel.

In the modern era of email / slack / whatever - every smoking gun piece of evidence is a ctrl-f away. SBF is publicly testifying and pointing to where the bodies are buried, FTX the company is cooperating and co-conspirators are cooperating.
It was traditional, centralized finance that kept this from spreading. But because it's crypto, they had effectively no auditing or reporting requirements. And part of the central grift was their FTT token.

Crypto was a major factor in this scam and others. True decentralized crypto will never be integrated into society. Crypto fundamentalists can't get past these things.
You are probably talking about the x264 and x265 encoders? The former was created by some obsessed people, the latter by employees. x264 goes above and beyond being a "good implementation". It is also less tuned according to "objective" (actually terrible) metrics than most codecs. Simplistic "objective" metrics encourage blurry images and sometimes odd spatial and temporal distributions of blurriness.

It would be nice to have a fantastic implementation of an h.265 encoder like x264, but alas.
Eh, he's tweeting himself too.

Yes, that can be a problem, I used it for linux/FreeBSD development only so far.
Given I used to be a python dev myself before I picked up nim and since then have helped out a fair bit of python-folks picking up nim, I'm not sure what that's based on.

The fact that nim doesn't have exactly the same stdlib defined as python (though there's a package for that)? That Araq has said that nim isn't a variation of python?

You can get really close to instant and it’s about how you build and package your content. If you need to download megabytes of assets and/or do complex processing on load you’ll be in for a bad time.

Ask HN: A terminal with normal keyboard shortcuts
I'm using kitty with a few custom settings and it's a great experience. Except my terminal is the only app on my system where the following very basic shortcuts are all different due to legacy reasons, and it's starting to drive me crazy the more I think about it.

* CTRL-backspace: use CTRL-W (except not really because tokenization is different)

* CTRL-C: use CTRL-SHIFT-C

* CTRL-V: use CTRL-SHIFT-V

* etc...

Is there a terminal project out there that attempts to fix this madness by using standard system shortcuts for text input, and remaps the useful terminal shortcuts to other key combinations (like CTRL-C, I sill want to send SIGTERMS obviously).
I'll emphasize what kortilla said, please read about actual political science, not stuff you encounter online about this. Open a book. This online mudslinging nonsense is meaningless.

In quantitative political science, candidates and parties tend to be placed in "n-dimensional political spaces" where each issue occupies a different dimension. For example, if an election contains candidates who have publicly stated their positions on LGBT rights, free trade, and public healthcare, then you can call this a 3-dimensional political space where candidates place their attitudes on these issues on these axes.

In qualitative political science, there's many distinctions. There's "liberal rights vs substantive rights" political systems (e.g. whether the government guarantees individuals rights against their government or whether the government guarantees individuals substantive (standard of living e.g. basic healthcare) claims. There's "authoritarian vs democratic systems" (e.g. both fascist systems and Democratic Centralist ("politburo-style") socialist systems are authoritarin systems; liberal democratic, social democratic, and participatory economic systems are all democratic systems).

Even then, Europe has social democratic and communist parties that are anti-immigration. Japan has pro-labor pro-immigration parties. Politics cannot be boiled down to a "left" and a "right". When discussing "the Left" in the context of political philosophy, I've largely seen it as a reference to Hegelian Marxist thought at its strongest and a general orientation around the disenfranchisement of labor at its weakest.

Not at all, but I do think it peculiar to be subject to what from my perspective is a random set of jurisdictions. Of course I understand why this is the case, but out of a handful of servers I looked at, only two specified where their data is hosted - for the rest, the same legal provisions obviously apply, but I have no way of knowing what they are.

I also don't know the specifics of German law, so the fact that my account could get suspended for violating something I am not aware of is peculiar in itself. The point is that there is no single privacy policy and single jurisdiction to worry about - it is a guess, depending on where the instance is hosted, and may even move under you without notice.

[edit: I am in the process of selecting an instance personally - I have not decided yet, and the process of picking one seems somewhat fraught.]
What does VMT mean? Virtual Method Table? When was this introduced to C? It looks like it was either in C89 or earlier according to both GCC and Clang.

#define ARR_LEN(a) (sizeof (a) / sizeof (a))

int main(void) {
int a[5] = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4};

int (*p)[ARR_LEN(a)] = &a;
(*p)[6] = 1;
return ARR_LEN(*p); // 5

}

I had no idea this was possible in C. It is unfortunate that GCC seems to ignore this information. Clang on the other hand uses it.

Nice comparison. Trabucco resigned in August but Caroline was on record saying he hadn’t been around for months. Some Alameda loans were called in May, and that is when SBF and Caroline did some obviously shady stuff. I think that is when he walked, as that is when the trading strategy became limited to just propping up FTT to fake the balance sheet. He seemed like a legit trader based on his Twitter. It takes about $3 million in legal bills to defend against the feds, and he easily has that kind of money. He is going to be hard to prosecute.
You probably meant French, because the word is just borrowed from French, including the dots.
Exception is a way to return from a function abnormally. So yes, they are for exceptional conditions. IMO it's perfectly fine to use them for input validation. The Java standard library itself does it all the time.

Exceptions in all modern C++ compilers are implemented in a way that prioritizes the performance of cases where an exception is NOT thrown at the cost of performance when an exception is thrown. Note that this means C++ code should be slightly faster than equivalent C/Go/Rust-style code that has to do an if/else after every function call that can fail to check if it did.

Once this decision was made, investing time in optimizing programs that use exceptions for regular control flow became very very low in the priority list of all C++ compilers. This would include recognizing cases where an exception could be replaced with a single if/else, and optimizations for the unhappy path in general.
