I would also put your app behind CloudFlare.

Also- if you are able to afford an intel NUC ($200?), and the app is low resources enough to be able to run on a Pi. You could also consider getting a VPS ($10/month).

You can already see it. The early 2010s was a period of very high population growth due to immigration, the economy has flatlined. This year has seen the same thing: rather than employ the large number of workless Brits, record visa numbers...no growth.

Btw, something interesting about the UK is that there has been zero growth in the natural population for (I believe) almost three decades. All the growth has been immigration and natural growth from immigrants (who often have significantly higher fertility).
You could also take a look at used fanless thin clients from HP and such. Cheap, totally silent, still fairly low electricity consumption but more power.

Yes. Products and services would get more expensive. Overall reducing consumption in volume. Which may be negative for the „growth“ in neoliberal sense. But positive in crapload of other metrics.
Congratulations on the release, what an achievement!

The game is fun, I like the look and feel - have to ask though: Is it ever possible to win anything on the one-armed bandit? :D
Carbon offsets are a lie that is "worse than doing nothing"[1]. They "don’t actually cancel out – er, offset – the emissions to which they are linked".[2] Instead, they greenwash additional emissions.

> What do the system requirements have to do with the better performance for 11, if the tests were performed on the same hardware?

> You yourself posted the reason why it's faster

First, note well that the article lacks benchmarks and is careful to only ever say Windows 11 "feels" faster.

If Windows 11 can preload 4 times as much in RAM that might be described as "improved memory management system" which would make it "feel faster". It is also an approach that is denied Windows 10 due to its minimum system requirements.

I find that spending some time turning off all the bloat that is enabled by default on any given Windows version results in an immediately responsive UI, such that feeling faster is not much of a selling point.

It is just amusing to me how each new version of Windows is billed as "the fastest ever!" while the minimum system requirements continue to balloon.
> Paying off a mortgage is a form of “forced savings,”

Nope, stopped reading there. The whole thing is inane. Most people don't get an option of not paying anyone anything for their housing at all. Only extremely well off landlords and some retirees with fully paid off mortgages do.

Someone owns the building where you live. Either that person is you, and you are paying off your own debt; or that person is someone else, and you are paying off theirs.

This article argues at great length for you to let someone else pocket all of that wealth rather than retaining some of it yourself.

If you pay mortgage, there is hope that one day you will have paid it off and no longer have to. If you pay rent, only your landlord profits.

“Real estate should be treated as consumption, not investment.”

Wow that’s quite the blanket statement to make - and no, it should not generally be considered consumption.

The article delves into the “rent vs buy” thing and it’s not as black and white as “let’s be against home ownership”. One has to do the math and decide what makes sense.

Also, it’s very US-centric :) the “everything is consumable” mentality permeates every pore of this article.
Honestly I've been fine with main branch. It's shorter. My problem is it's not consistent because it takes forever for a bigcorp to do something. So now we have repos with a main branch (the current branch) and a master branch (hasn't been touched in the year and half since the switch).
Haha now that’s hilarious.
Yes this would work.

Your straw man is still too strong for you to push over.

Only a small fraction of the arc furnace's power needs to be provided as electricity. A large fraction of it is a reducing agent like carbon or hydrogen which -- shockingly enough -- can be stored as carbon or hydrogen. Your imagined 30% increase due to idle capital is on top of a 50-80% reduction due to lower energy cost.

In industries where energy is the dominant cost, then minor shifts in production methods to do high labour tasks during low energy periods and vice versa will happen regardless of whether nuclear energy is available, because building solar to reduce costs and ignoring the nuclear reactor will still be a cheaper option than buying all of your energy from it. Alternatively the plant does buy the nuclear energy, but only when the sun is not shining because building their own array to use in DC mode costs $10/MWh and the VOM costs of nuclear are $15/MWh.

The only out is mandatory payment to a utility or funding it entirely with public money to everyone's detriment.
You can’t look at bias vs non-bias (it would be nice, but capitalism makes it almost impossible to be unbiased).

Instead you have to look at the power disparity between sides, and whether you trust the values of each group.

Heh, good point actually. Made me wonder. I guess the rate of accidents for cyclists is still much higher than for pedestrians, as walkways are usually even more separated from roads. Also, let's imagine I ride my bike along a busy street with lots of small alleys to the right which are mostly obstructed by buildings or trees. I have right of way. Even if I travel at the safe but unrealistic 12.4kmh that came up as a safe speed of travel in another comment, I might not have enough time to brake for a drunk driver confusing their gas and brake pedal and shooting out the alley at 60kmh. As a pedestrian I approach the alley at maybe 6kmh and my chances at jumping backwards in time should be significantly higher. Admittedly, this is a random example I just pulled out of my butt with no data to back it up. I guess in the end it is up to everyone to draw the line somewhere between comfort and safety. This can be backed up by data, but is ultimately subjective. Even with a helmet, I can get run over fatally when walking somewhere. I could lower the risk further by just staying home as much a possible. Am I willing to?

Ask HN: How to share a book with a distributed team?
I've encountered an interesting problem that is endemic to distributed teams: how to have a copy of an book that can be efficiently shared between multiple team members?

In a traditional office, we could buy one paper copy (or maybe a few, for very popular books and/or large teams), and any team member who wants to read it could borrow it to read in their own time. With a distributed team this is not really viable, except for DRM-free books that can be copied multiple times; but we would like to offer restricted books as well.

Can anyone recommend a solution?
Soooo what, rent your entire life while the side that actually owns the home gets all the profits ? I agree that housing needs to stop being an investment and be brought down in prices but I don't think in people not buying homes in the first place is best way to do it
This has already happened.

This year that was coordinated lobbying to increase visa numbers to the UK. The result was that 2022 was the highest level of immigration...ever.

And, of course, this started out with only being "skilled labour" but was quickly expanded to professions earning £20k/year. Productivity has gone nowhere, there are millions either unemployed or under-employed (there is reason to believe that the UK is under-reporting unemployment significantly due to how the welfare system works)...quite simply, whether you believe immigration is bad or good in theory, the supply of labour is massively in excess of demand in the UK.
>Sure I see a lot of hand waving here about that, but this community is notably not necessarily the most diverse

The communities deciding those terms as "potentially harmful" are even less diverse: mostly white, mostly of the aspirational classes, mostly of a certain ideological bent and demographic, with the token social climber members that don't represent their communities thrown in for good measure...

It's like the white people deciding on "latinx" for latinos, when majority real world latinos consider it idiotic (and don't find the term "latino" or "latin america" insulting).

>But even if more people want to do this, so what? It’s their choice. These documents are about others policing their own language, not them policing yours.

> I'm not sure if these are 5.25 or 3.5 inch discs.

Very likely 3"1/2 inches disks although most of my Amiga disks, which I still have, are 5"1/4 (5"1/4 were way cheaper than 3"1/2 so we'd mod our Amiga by adding an external 5" 1/4 drive and then we'd buy the much cheaper 5" 1/4 floppies).

Now... After all these years several of these floppies may not be fully readable anymore so don't wait too long before ripping them. My C64 5"1/4 started failing badly. I'd say maybe 2/3rd of them are still readable without errors. Haven't tried reading my Amiga floppies yet.

And I don't know if the 3"1/2 age better than the 5"1/4 or not.

But they'll eventually start failing.

Rails: Default Docker Files
Woke content is a lot like Christian rock.

The music is generally considered terrible because the quality of the music is not important, the point is to sing about religious themes. Every song is about Jesus, the lord’s love, etc etc. people listen to it because it adheres to their ideology. Not because it’s objectively high quality music.

Woke media is about checking off the diversity boxes, using minorities and very real social issues as a marketing campaign. These producers start with their ideology and work backwards. The writing is an afterthought because in their worldview, people will simply watch X because they look like X.

This is why you end up with extremely low tier writing with properties such as Ghostbusters 2016, Ocean’s 8, Men in Black 4, Terminator: Dark Fate, Charlie’s angels 2019, and the endless list of gender-swapped / race swapped reboots. They do poorly at the box office and among fanbases, but do great on Twitter among folks looking for ideology-driven content.

Woke content, like Christian rock, will always have an audience. But an audience driven purely by ideology and not by writing quality is unlikely to succeed. Especially as audiences and the actors have taken notice. For example, Folks like Emily blunt are avoiding films explicitly prioritizing gender-based marketing:

Unless you sell it for a dollar, it’s likely the value now converted to money will allow you to easily solve the lodging/storage conundrum. Far more easily than if you were renting and then got evicted with zero dollars in your pocket (since you seem to be reducing the situation to that assumption anyway).
Sorry, this is a bit rambling. People want more of one thing, but will not accept less of another. For instance:

* some people complain platforms over-moderate but then cry when moderation does NOT prevent things they don't like.

* some people want platforms held responsible for material users post, but then bulk at the idea of paying for an account and refuse to accept no one will host content for pennies in advertising then pay millions in damages when that content is found damaging.

* people object to misleading content but then object to fact checking (especially if they don't like the facts)

* people want platforms to be child-safe (which no one agrees on the definition of) but again won't pay

I actually think Twitters "minimalist" approach to moderation was both economically and socially the least-bad compromise.

I think there is a constant trade off both between and within 3 core variables:

* freedom of expression

* cost/revenue

* "bad" things (from porn to scams to copyright infringement to seeing other peoples' opinions)

I fear Musk fell for the "everyone is like me and will like things I like" fallacy and has tried to make Twitter more what he wanted. Now people whose preferred point on that 3D surface he has moved away from are upset he moved away and people he got closer to are upset he did not move enough. And plenty of other people are not prepared to admit there is a trade off: they want a platform where they can say whatever they like, but an army of moderators with 100% accuracy remove anything they don't like and it costs 0USD per year.

> I'm obviously not an english major and had no idea scold was used primarily for women historically, but being charitable to OP, can't you both have a very different lecture of the word, depending on each other exposition? Be it by age, or even culture.

That's a fair take, and you're right that I was a bit insensitive in the discussion. It just pushed a personal button of mine, which is all too common these days, and that it is to misrepresenting language as a form of gaslighting or manipulation. It's also unproductive—as this thread demonstrated. Anyway, that's also not an excuse to be an asshole, so I apologise.

Edit: not in any way trying to imply the OP intentionally did this, but it's unfortunately all too common when heated subjects are being discussed

Regarding language differences: Again you're right, I assumed that meanings didn't diverge (to this degree); they very well might have.
You can convert a cheap USB floppy drive into one that reads Amiga disks using a Drawbridge from https://amiga.robsmithdev.co.uk/ - I've done this and it works.

> GAF(AM)s didn't even exist a quarter of a century ago !

Yes, and look how entrenched they have become. Search engines, for example, are dominated by Google holding 80%+ for well over a decade. Even Bing, with Microsoft's deep cash coffers, can't get above 9% [1]. Facebook just went ahead and bought the biggest threats (Whatsapp, Instagram) or copied the features of competitors to destroy them (Snapchat). The only threat in the social media marketplace comes from TikTok, who are backed by the Chinese government. Twitter is tiny and Musk is driving it to the ground. Amazon, while "only" at 38% market share in e-commerce, still leaves everyone else including Wal-Mart in the dust [2]. Microsoft utterly dominates the PC and laptop market [3] as well as the office suite market [4].

Even with these multi-billion companies fighting against each other, they can't manage to land any kind of significant blows - so how should a small startup stand a chance?

> P.S.: What makes you think Amazon had no competition ? Were there no other booksellers, or generalist stores selling books ?

Amazon had no competition online, mostly because the competition was asleep at the wheel. And by the time the competition woke up, it was too late - and now "classic" book stores are dying out left and right, not to mention other kinds of specialized stores. Here in Munich, all the small electronics specialty stores closed down, even famous chain Conrad closed down because they couldn't compete any more.

Nice, thanks for the link. I hadn't heard the term "rubber banding" before, but that exactly describes what I end up with.

I think my backend and overall strategy are good, sending events rather than state, deterministic simulation, event buffering, client prediction, etc, ultimately my issues arise on the client side when using these frameworks, I haven't found one that considers how a game server operates, so it ends up requiring a good deal of hacking to inject server messages into the game state at the right places, and ultimately the math is always a little bit off, rounding issues add up, rubber banding appears, etc. I guess I could write my own engine from the ground up with a backend in mind, but I don't have the free time to make the engine and the client and the server and the actual game, so I was hoping that maybe Melon2 would have considered my use case.

> a social network that brings together people from all walks of life

Twitter has different cohorts that intermingle and it's interesting to watch wildly different people discuss things together. You have the shitposters, the political zealots, the meme-lords, the sports aficionados, the karens, boomers/zoomers, literal government spies/spooks/natsec types, celebrities, brands, infosec types, etc

All chatting away to each other. It's fun to watch, if you take the time.
