I disagree with the author that PDFs are a terrible format. They guarantee layout, which is very important for complex scientific presentations. Even slight differences in layout can make a complex set of equations difficult to parse. LaTeX also has a much superior word-break/hyphening algorithm to the HTML engines of browsers.

I find PDF math papers easy to browse, unlike the author. They're much easier and more organized than a website, can be easily searched and have a *proper table of contents* compared to websites. As for poorly browsable on a phone -- well I think that is irrelevant because nobody is going to read a complex technical paper in practise on a phone. They do look decent in tablets, and as for screen readers...well that's a valid point but screen readers don't work well for material with lots of equations anyway.

I applaud the author for the effort but looking at the result, I would not want to read math that way.

HD Fury is also well known among home theater enthusiasts and they make some really amazing devices. They’ll also add new features based on fairly niche demand. For example they allow LLDV to be used with projectors that don’t natively support it (JVC, Epson) including sending serial commands to the projector to change its video mode when HD Fury device detects an HDR signal.

Anyway, pretty amazing if niche devices with fantastic customer support and willingness to add functionally for relatively small numbers of users.
It's difficult to measure whether something is a net benefit for humanity, and even if it were possible, that shouldn't be a factor in deciding whether or not it should exist. For example, if candy is potentially net negative to society as a whole but brings joy to an individual, should that person be denied the opportunity to make the choice for themselves and enjoy it? I believe that people should be allowed to make their own mistakes and learn from them. A world in which we prevent people from making their own decisions and only allow them to choose from net positive options is immensely bleak.

I think that the point was that when most people refer to 'Romans' they usually mean western roman empire. But by the 8th century that wasn't a thing anymore so an alternative is that they could have been from the eastern roman empire. I guess that's really a non-question since identifying those coins would be trivial for the archeologists

As a person who been living in Crimea for big part of my live I do find your comment very disconnected from reality.

From strategist perspective Crimea does not have anything to give to Russia except logistics problems and few military bases.

Ukraine has way more claims for Crimea rather than Russia. If we gonna use your logic than Russia should give back to Ukraine Kuban oblast (which for long time were part of the USSR)

Crimea had its own parliament but saying it was independent its an open lie. Crimea belong to crimean tatars. Which been deported from Crimea during Stalin genocide. But if we go with your logic, crimean tatars should be the one who are the real "owners" of the Crimea, and they are pro-Ukrainane. Simply cause russia to this day killing and torturing them.

Nothing with Crimea occupation is unique. Dictatorship government occupy new territory, silencing and do genocide so then it will be easy to fake referendums.

It seems quite different actually. While this filter tries to completely change the sound of the whole recording, RTX voice isn't really improving the audio quality, but is rather focusing only on removing noise. I think it's a much more sound approach and doesn't really end up in actually changing language like in some of the examples below.
Counterpoint re security issues: If the function of these separate computes like the HDD controller were running on the main CPU, they would have to be integrated in the same software stack; maybe as a driver in the OS, maybe as CPU-internal firmware, whatever. This doesn't just grow a software stack that is already insanely huge, it also introduces new issues because the HDD controller has to perform hard real-time tasks, adding even more complexity. It's also competing for time on the same processor, adding timing channels and other side-channels.

I can't take this beyond a gut feeling, but that gut feeling tells me that separate "computers" are actually a good thing for security.

I don’t have astigmatism but I have had eye strain from coding.

Some recommendations if you’re on a Mac:

- HazeOver: dims any part of the screen that isn’t in focus

- Noir: makes every website into dark mode. Works more
consistently than Dark Reader and also allows you to choose different themes.

- Time Out: will black out the screen after a designated period of time to force you to have a break

More general options:

- blue glasses as mentioned in other comments

- if you work from home, consider using a large tv to code and sitting a good distance from it. I am currently coding on a 65inch tv and find it far easier on the eyes as they physically have to move around more than before.

- If you’ve got the space, even better than the above would be to use a projector screen which is even easier on the eyes. You can get laser projectors now which are still visible inside in broad daylight even with the curtains open and lights on.
not possible from economic perspective. Crimea been losing money all the time with all different governments.

It’s always surprising to look back at these things, because it hardly seems like it would be economical to build and deliver such a huge monstrosity.
I think the root cause is just the market asking for oversized battery packs. That enables both the large instant current capability and high charging speed, without requiring too much additional cooling (it's all spread out). You still need to add the oversized current driving capabilities in the electronics that you wouldn't strictly need for fast charging, which is DC and bypasses most internal electronics anyway.

You really should visit annually. There are a bunch of diseases that can be diagnosed by looking at the retina. It's totally worth the 15 minutes of your time to drop by (many opticians do drop ins if they aren't busy)
When compared with Turbo Pascal for Windows 1.5, with OWL, or Turbo Pascal 6/7 with Turbo Vision not really, as it lacked similar frameworks if I recall correctly.
I disagree with this interpretation - many have been vocally protesting each of the rounds of banning and policy changes, and multiple large waves of migration happened. This policy became such a talking point because of how there wasn't even a pretense of doing it for safety etc. Other policies may have been functionally more harmful, but this was bald-faced with no concievable defense for the blatent hypocrisy, and if anything is going to get people riled up it's hypocrisy.
High contrast (between colors, between text and background, etc) is harder on your eyes. Lowering the contrast can help reduce strain.

The right color scheme in your IDE can help. Reducing contrast in your monitor settings can help. Usually reducing brightness also serves to reduce contrast. A matte display also helps (matte displays naturally have lower contrast than glossy).
My native Gsync monitor, a now discontinued LG 32GK(?)650 is quite fast as well. I’ve complained a tiny amount about monitor reviewer blind spots, and this is one of them. The speed of every interaction on this monitor is very very fast. It is why I am very unwilling to let it go, even if it keeps me locked into the Nvidia side of things, since my monitor predates native Gsync modules that support DP Adaptive Sync and HDMI VRR.
> Really makes me wonder about his commitment to making life multiplanetary...

I see no need to wonder about that one. It wasn't ever going to happen but it served well to get people aligned on pulling his cart.
I have a similar story and one thing that helped a lot was simply switching from dark color scheme to a light one.

I don’t know the actual science behind this, there are controversial opinions on this topic, but I definitely sensed that dark color scheme was making my astigmatism much worse. It’s almost completely gone after I switched (and that’s the only thing I did) and I can work for much longer periods than before. I eventually switched to light mode on my IPhone as well.

I suggest you to give it a try. Btw, I use papercolor scheme, which is great

Very long-winded. Sounds like "hard" epigenetics doesn't exist in humans (changes to DNA expression aren't literally handed down) based on that factory reset explanation, but "soft" epigenetics (hormonal signalling in utero leading to changes in gene expression) is very much on the table.

Because you can do reliable aneutronic fusion using usual methods? This seems explicitly commercial, therefore it needs to show value, which is in power generation, not making interesting gadgets.
The CEO's statement (https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1604593057676300288) interpreted the deleted policy to mean that occasionally sharing links to other social media platforms is "fine". The suspended account's tweet did not even include a link to Mastodon, it only mentioned that a Mastodon account exists without directly naming the handle. Because the tweet did even less than what the CEO claimed was "fine", the suspension was unjustified.

You are inventing a completely different definition of "ban evasion" that has not been used in any Twitter policy page to try to justify the suspension, even after the suspension has been reversed for its unreasonableness.
The practical reality is that solar and wind are still getting deployed en masse, people who want electricity don't really care what how science feels about progress etc. They just want their lights to turn on and for cheap. Since renewables are currently cheap, that's what we're deploying a decent amount of (depending on geography of course).
My astigmatism is on the extreme side. About 20 years ago it was off the charts (before the measurement technology advanced in precision). I have had it all my life and cannot imagine vision without it. I just wear glasses all the time and power through it, even through environmental extremes and long period of high stress activity.

Whether because of my high myopia, the high astigmatism, or the super strong corrective lenses (or other factors) my eye muscles seem to work differently than other peoples'. I seem to have a faster twitch rate (rapid movement between points of focus). I can focus on things for longer periods of time without blinking and I seem to be less prone to eye fatigue and injury than many other people. My eyes do get tired though, and when that happens I have trouble discerning between eye fatigue and mental exhaustion, but at any rate when fatigue creeps in I am done.

Get brighter lights for the room you work in, and then get a brighter screen (or turn the brightness up).

More brightness reduces the size of your pupils, which reduces the effects of most defects of the lenses in your eyes.

Obviously it'll cost you ~$100/year in electricity to have a nicely lit bright office, but considering a developers salary I'd guess that even a tiny bit more productivity will rapidly pay for that.

Not quite what I think you're describing, but we functionally have that for music. For a while, pirated music was hugely popular; now, for a fixed subscription, you can choose between a few major providers and they each have a global catalogue (or pretty close to it, for the requirements of most users).

It's not as if Spotify et al. provide particularly good services, but they're convenient enough for most people.

Making life less convenient for users in terms of streaming video is going to be a hard sell. No one wants to pay more for a worse service with less choice, more restrictions and adverts.
I thought HN was a fork of early reddit (YC 1.) Is that not the case? The story I heard was that PG wanted god mode on reddit, Spez said no, here's a fork.

> I am mainly interested in what tools, settings, and themes people with astigmatism use, and if you have any preference for light or dark themes. Personally, I cannot stand light, whether it is physical light or light on screens.

Contrary to your preference, I believe a light theme (black letters on white/gray background) is better for astigmatism. With a dark theme, the bright letters will bleed into the dark areas surrounding them. (At least that's how I experience it. I have only slight astigmatism, but the ghosting effect already annoys me for dark themes.)

If you really want to stick to a dark theme, I would select something where the text is not too bright. The Solarized Dark Theme that you mention seems OK in this regard.

> Growth marketers wanted more autonomy to manage their data, but were not necessarily willing to put the extra effort into: (i) understanding the structure of a database (dozens of tables), (ii) practice lightweight data modeling.

This highlights the primary issue for most tools in the data analytics space: poor data modelling, leading to the exposed data being "too difficult to use in Business Tools".

I've gathered some thoughts [1][2], but it boils down to the following: What users experience as the problem, is probably not the cause of the problem. Most builders respond to the user's poor experience at the interface as sufficient signal to start building solutions that improve that interface, while the underlying cause is deeper within the system (and the primary method for improving that underlying, currently, is data modelling).

Here [3] is a snippet towards an example of Facebook building a solution that addresses the complexity issue. Also common for ex-FAANG engineers to their surprise, discover that none of this type of infra exists outside of FAANG.

On the Atari and Amiga, the horizontal/vertical scan rates are constant

I can't speak to the Atari, but my memory is that this is not true of the Amiga.

The Amiga could do this amazing thing where it would display multiple resolutions on a monitor at the same time, divided horizontally. Analog was flexible that way.

An Amiga could even display two different resolutions from two different sources on the same monitor at the same time.

This was part of my workflow when I used an Amiga to do live TV news graphics around 1990.

As I understood it, reliably igniting aneutronic fusion efficiently was an open research problem. Whereas, they can consistently get to aneutronic burning plasmas.

I have been astigmatic my entire life, but now that I've passed the age where my eyes are less flexible than they used to be and progressive lenses are important, I've found that a dedicated pair of computer glasses are hugely helpful.

Specifically, I have a pair that have no far vision at all, just short to medium. I use them around the house in general, only breaking out the normal glasses when I go outside for any reason.
I’m a fan/user of Pulumi, but this doesn’t feel similar to me. In Pulumi you write code that describes infrastructure, separate from the application layer code you’re deploying.

This appears to be using application code to derive infrastructure config automatically. It’s a but like the https://www.shuttle.rs/ approach.

Edit: after taking a deeper look, a more accurate description might be that it allows you to embed application code within IAC.

re: posting to github blog. It is simply to get additional stars on the repo.

It's smart if you can pull it off, but it does get a bit weird on news.yc where you expect to be going to a repo when you see github links.

The OP/Author has recycled posts from their corporate blog to their GitHub and then submitted them to YC many times in the last few weeks: For example, this post was submitted by them 2 days ago [1] and is on their blog here [2].

Their submission history shows a this is a pretty regular pattern at this point. [3].

To be honest, they've done a very impressive job of content marketing in this community in the last 6 months. I'm not sure anyone has been able to place more of their own stuff on the front page. From that perspective, they are doing something quite successfully. From the perspective of the community, it might feel like things have been a bit over manipulated at this point. I'm not sure at which point you earn a shadowban for self-promotion, but I have to wonder if it's worth the risk.

Google has a shitload of money. But it also has 150,000+ employees. If everybody has loose pockets it becomes a disaster. Supply chain is also a problem. Even if a single piece of hardware is cheap, buying a gazillion of them is hard.

I find resource planning to be difficult and frustrating here at Google, despite billions and billions in the bank.
I believe them.

I remember calculating the optimal amount to work, to maximize non-work non-sleep healthy life expectancy, and it was somewhere around 2 hours per day in my case. Accounting for retirement, it'd be around 4 hours.

If you work more than optimal, you lose free time.
> I was diagnosed with astigmatism in 2018 or around that time. I haven't been to the eye doctor since...

Your eyes have probably changed since 2018. The old glasses have not. Go to a good eye doctor, and get new glasses for use with computers. You'll need to tell the Dr. how far your monitor is from your eyes -"reading" glasses are usually tuned for a book held considerably closer to your eyes than a screen.

Who Is Rep.-Elect George Santos? His Résumé May Be Largely Fiction
Have 41Mm on my Ioniq5 that has the same “superpowers”. Have used 350kW charger only once in that time. It was fast, but in my use case (30Mm/yr) hardly is needed. You always leave home with full tank. Usually 10m top-up while visiting a loo at the 50..150kW charger will do the trick for longer journeys. Maybe it is my “old” age, my bladder can not stand longer than 6h driving without stops.

As for the V2L — thus I have used lot more. Have had power failures at home where I switched all the critical systems to the car, have “taken electricity” to my father in law, have use it to power tools outside (mitre saw, for example) and boiled tea with a 2.7kW kettle.

I would normally agree or even be the one making that point. But interestingly, and this hasn't of course always been the case, it's currently the non techies in my circle that are downloading pirated content and buying cheap android ip tv boxes. The techies don't want hassle and risk and just pay for streaming, they're busy enough with myriad geeky hobbies. The non techies are blissfully unaware of any risk and just want free tv.
