The Wii proved that they care equally about piracy and homebrew, at most. I remember when Bushing tried to report a bug to Nintendo that was mostly only useful for piracy, as he put it. Their response? Not to patch the bug, but to continue updating IOS to find and delete the HBC title ID.
I'm still trying to figure out how to do this. Copilot is extremely helpful. But more often than not, it suggests completions which would steer the project in another direction.

It is extremely good once the code has been organised and an overall structure exists. But until then it can be a distraction.
> then wait wait wait wait even more for completely inscrutable reasons later on. (e.g. amazing how long you have to wait for Windows to delete the files in your node_modules directory)

As far as I know, windows explorer has been extremely slow for this kind of operation for ages.
It's not even explainable by requiring a file list before starting the operation, I have no idea what it is about Windows explorer, it's just broken for such use cases.

Just recently, I had to look up how to write a robocopy script because simply copying a 60GB folder with many files from a local network drive was unbelievably slow (not to mention resuming failed operations). The purpose was exactly what I wrote: copy a folder in Windows explorer.

What does this have to do with React or JavaScript?

if you're in Denmark it would be easy to get to the point where half would go to taxes, also some countries can have different rates on what is your primary income and what is income earned from secondary sources that are taxed higher. However in the case of having a business that is generating taxable revenue you are probably also buying things at times you can deduct, so it's probably not as dire as all that - although depending on how things are you might not want to deduct more than you actually earn from your secondary source of income.
The magazine might be free. But it might set the prices for adds so high that it don't get filled. Or actually make money. And some VC keeps throwing money at it as surely at some point they will corner the market and make money.

And the video makers and article writers can already contact advertisers and ask for whatever price they want.
Do you remember what that friction point was?

paywalling art & culture is wrong, imagine paying a license fee on the use of the italian pizza culture, on the catholic bible, on songs and works of arts like images of paintings bcs people could/should go to the museum and pay to see the paintins. Obviously commercial uses of third parties intellectual propriety should be regulated and enforced.
Well, it gets harder and harder as we extend the term of childhood. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the age of consent raised to 21 in the next 100 years.
One thing I don’t understand.

Don’t most people end up taking a course of antibiotics at least a few times per decade? Why doesn’t that wipe this out?
They’re enforcing a style that’s not in a work’s style guide.

That’s a total noob move for pedants.

A more at weight pedant would work on changing the style guide.

This is the equivalent of a self appointed hall monitor yelling “no skipping in the school hallway” when there’s no rule against skipping. The fact that some people don’t like skipping and that skipping is dangerous is not relevant, the place for that discussion is for the rules nerds in authority to change the rules to disallow skipping.

What worries me about this approach of one person is that they can say “I yelled at people 90k times to stop skipping therefore it’s important and we should change the rule based on all this anti-skipping activity.”

It seems like everyone carries these bacteria but there are more harmful strains than others (but all of them seem to faciliate the aggregation of alpha-synuclein).

Rebuilding Tally Ho:
https://youtu.be/4FhTu3aGM60

Description

I’m on a mission to rebuild a 1910 English sailing yacht called Tally Ho. Designed by Albert Strange in 1909, she is a well-known and important historic vessel – but after many adventures she was left in a remote port in Oregon to rot for decades, despite some valiant attempts to rescue her. I bought her and moved her to the Olympic Peninsular earlier this year, and am now rebuilding her from the keel up. Eventually I hope to sail her back to the UK.
YouTube channel is a must if you run a business. Ran $100 of ads and got zero orders. Spent a couple hours on a video and got 10.

If anyone is gaslighting, it's you, who dismisses a whole complex range of extremely valid criticisms of civil liberties abuses, dubiously rushed policies, regulatory incompetence and in some cases outright dishonesty by government organizations and politicians as "disingenuous bullshit"... What an absurdly narrow, simplistic and willfully ignorant take on so many complex points.
Deliberate barrier to entry.

If you're going to use something that needs a bit of technical skill to operate correctly, you're going to need at least enough skill to get it running.

Roads would be far safer if every car had some facility by which you had to remove and refit some random engine or braking system component correctly before it would start.
for that specific waste, the coolant in a water cooled reactor isn't a huge problem either. The things that are "complicated" are the fuel rods that some people refuse to be convinced we can bury in storage until reprocessing becomes necessary.
I don't understand what's the harm of having a releases page with a binary and its md5 hash, or how that keeps anyone from just compiling an unofficial binary themselves and adding malware to it.

Anyone not technical enough to compile a binary has to give up trying to use it or risk some unnoficially distributed executable .
> implicitness in language design

In a sense, all languages have implicit aspects. Can you characterize the problematic implicitness? (I guess python's TOOWTDI helps, when reading code).

I've been studying bidirectional transformations, and a survey paper notes that "relational" methods have died off (somewhat "declarative", where you specify how things should be connected, with the details implicitly worked out for you... something like set-builder notation), while various coding methods remain (where you code for forward transformation, and the backward transformation is automatically derived).
They hypothesise it's because relational tools (libraries and projects) are difficult to maintain - but I suspect it's because they are difficult to use.

Which is a shame: something that automatically "does what you want" seems like a great idea! But being difficult to predict and diagnose - not being in control - is not great. So, to rephrase my question, what characterizes "good" automation?
> “In a list of names, dictionaries, etc V and W would be separately. This is to make finding the word you are looking for easier.”

If you look at older phone books and dictionaries until the 1990s at least, you’ll find that V and W are combined.

There are common surnames in Finland that retain the V/W spelling equivalence, like Virtanen and Wirtanen. When they are grouped together (as they traditionally were), it’s easier to find a person by name because you don’t need to know which way it’s spelled.
His understanding appears worse than that. Heat capacity is important, but as a second order. Absolute temperatures is the real deal since it sets the Carnot efficiency.

Another way to look at it, if I were doing a back of the envelop calculation (the most important calculations), I wouldn't look up the Cp of Na. Id only look up its boiling T

High Cp, low Cp... that can be remedied to some extent by running the pump faster or slower.
In that case complexity is created thereby proving my point anyway.

Typically I define complexity as a low probability macrostate meaning low entropy. So debris generated from the explosion has a high probability of randomly occuring, while a new car has a very low probability of randomly occuring.

Following this definition you arrive at a formal definition of complexity that is intuitive.

Imagine a tornado that randomly reconfigures everything in it's wake. The more complex something is the less likely the tornado is going to reconfigure everything into that thing. So it is very likely for a tornado to reconfigure things into debris and extremely extremely unlikely for the tornado to reconfigure everything into a brand new car. A tornado reconfiguring atoms into a car seems to be impossible but it is not, it is simply a low probability nearly impossible configuration.

Therefore the car is more complex then exploded debris.

Think about this definition because it also aligns intuitively with the effort required and technical complexity of any object. The more effort and technical complexity it has the lower chance it has of a tornado randomly reconfiguring atoms to form that object. Thus that object is more "complex".

Whatever your definition is, the quote saying complexity cannot be created or destroyed is fundamentally from any perspective usually not true. If you want to define it as simply microservices or monoliths it still doesn't make sense. Whose to say that when converting a monolith to microservices that complexity remains conserved? Likely the complexity rises or lowers a bit or a lot. Complexity doesn't remain the same even if you use informal and inexact fuzzy definitions of complexity.
For recorded media (ie not streaming on Twitch) you control what you upload, so there's very little exposure you don't want, other than giving your details to YouTube so they can pay you. If that's too much exposure for you then becoming a YouTube star may not be for you.

Eg What do the people that run Kurzgesagt look like? I have no idea, because almost all their content is animated. Other YouTube stars choose to share some things, like what they look like, but most don't give away enough serial to be stalked, and with good reason!

If you get to Mr. Beast level of recognizability, then you have a whole slew of other problems, but you're not gonna get there, so I wouldn't worry about those problems just yet.
It's bizarre. It's certainly possible to do this but there isn't much point given the different instruments need different fingering tequniques to reach notes anyway, and getting a feel for these fingerings ought to be harder than the transposition.
Hopefully, have an army of their own ready on-site.
I think DIY content is so hard to make. For me, it usually involves building stuff that I find interesting, but that is usually super niche and doesn’t appeal to a mainstream audience. Thus, less views which makes the whole time spent on making the video feel wasted compared to other projects I could be doing.

On the other hand, I could try to build projects that might be more mainstream for the better views, but then I’m spending time creating stuff I don’t want to make.
Nothing about studying space is “goofy.” Want to know more about theoretical physics at ever higher energies or smaller scales? The universe is going to provide the means to study that, not any human engineering project until we’re building mega structures. Want to keep as much earth as pristine as possible? Then do industry off earth. There’s literally everything in space.
Interesting question.

The article says that there are only 8 million people with Parkinson's, so about 1 in every 1,000 person. I wonder if it is possible that only people who have never taken antibiotics after they got the disease is affected.
No no, you need to hire consulting firms to get that level of insight my friend
I strongly suspect this is an example of a desirable disfluency. If you make things harder to visually distinguish, your brain takes in the information better because the parts that need to work harder influence attention.

"we parents"? You certainly don't speak for me and I have several children.

I thought (and was told) my negative babysitting experiences were too narrow, unlike real parenting, and my hormones would change. IME none of that was true and I regret not giving the childcare experience more weight in whether to have (and how many) kids. And trust me, not everyone's hormones will change enough to overcome the costs, or otherwise find "special little moments".
From a link shared in a thread below:

“High-temperature properties such as the volumetric storage density, viscosity and transparency are similar to water at room temperature. The major advantages of molten salts are low costs, non-toxicity, non-flammability, high thermal stabilities and low vapor pressures. The low vapor pressure results in storage designs without pressurized tanks (Fig. 1). Molten salts are suitable both as heat storage medium and heat transfer fluid (HTF). In general, there is experience with molten salts in a number of industrial applications related to heat treatment, electrochemical treatment and heat transfer for decades.”

I don’t know anything about this but it does seem that things are not as clear cut as your comment made it seem.

EDIT: From ChatGPT 3.5:

“ One of the most commonly used molten salts in nuclear reactors is a mixture of lithium fluoride (LiF) and beryllium fluoride (BeF2), commonly referred to as FLiBe. FLiBe is used as both a coolant and a neutron moderator in some types of nuclear reactors, such as molten salt reactors (MSRs) and some advanced small modular reactors (SMRs).

FLiBe has several advantages as a coolant in nuclear reactors, including its good heat transfer properties and its ability to operate at high temperatures without evaporating. Additionally, FLiBe is not highly corrosive to many materials commonly used in reactor components, which can help reduce maintenance and replacement costs.

However, FLiBe does have some potential disadvantages, such as its relatively high viscosity, which can make it more difficult to pump and circulate, and its high melting point, which can increase startup times for reactor systems. Additionally, FLiBe can be corrosive to some materials, such as aluminum and some types of steels, so care must be taken in selecting materials that are compatible with FLiBe.”

Not even contract to hire? What kind of fine are we talking about?
We're definitely not the intended audience, though I believe what I'd said still applies the same way.
Making non-commercial videos about coding some product is the equivalent of majoring in basket-weaving at Youtube University.

How much you make via advertising is directly proportional to audience size and geographic distribution. Niches with large audiences include video games, superhero movies/IP, makeup, gadget review videos. And even then, ad revenue usually needs to be supplemented by adding affilliate links and in-video sponsorship messages.
> If no one did it, the whole would die. Skipping that work voluntarily is a kind of freeloading (and also would typically involves redirecting the personal resources that would have gone to it towards increasing selfish consumption).

There is no amount of consumption a child free middle class person could do in their lifetime that equals that of introducing a whole other person. That’s ridiculous.
100. Also, I am still quiet surprised that for this example on the hardflip, you place your back foot near the opposite side. It was pretty counter-intuitive for me. Practice for sure is the most important part.
It’s a tautology that we would never be able to observe the infinite. But plugging infinity into the equations makes everything, and nothing, possible.

E.g. if there is an infinite sequence of events required to get to this moment of time, it’s impossible to be experiencing this moment.
Not everyone will find the decades of chores suddenly "infused with meaning and joy". People should be cautioned because if they're like me then they'll find they hate it and regret many of the decisions.

Only part of my learning was from direct question answering. Seeing how senior people worked also helped a lot. E.g. over hearing a design discussion or seeing how they debugged outages was very helpful to me. Those things are very hard to recreate remotely.
Modernizing RTS Camera Controls
The automatic edge-panning of topdown games is a behavior inherited from 90s RTS games that has remained largely unchanged.

While it is sufficient for ball-mouse era casual players, it is actually a detrimental mechanic largely avoided by competitive players and considered a beginner's footgun that causes bad habits to develop.

In this playable proof-of-concept, the camera displacement is changed from the traditional time-dependent panning to a direct position-based panning.

This way, competitive players can leverage their mouse control/muscle memory to move their cursor and their camera as quickly as their skills allows.

Totally. I see that it can get a long way for the aspect of "cherish" this tricks it took so long for you to master. For example, I lost my kickflips after a 10 year hiatus.

I think it's reference to a team that can be satisfied with a pizza in take out event.

Increasing number of pizzas you get bigger teams.

Increasing number of microservices you assign more of them to a single team.
I don't disagree, but there are some that have managed to crack the code, or maybe just right place, right time,
but eg kurzgesagt has a team of 60 to run their channel, and also they get a lot of outside funding for their channel. (they have 20M subscribers, but my question is how they got there, not why are they successful now that they are there)

> Microservices trade design complexity with operational complexity

Yup!

And it annoys me so much how architects/consultants get away with just proposing 'microservices' without being held responsible for all the increased operational complexity. It's left as something for devops to figure out later.
Could you share your Dockerfile please? I was planning to do exactly the same thing with imagemagik as a complement.
Hi! Really cool project, thanks to you for having created it :)
On the getting old part, there's definitely a point where someone has enough bagage thay most additional tools are solving a problem they already worked around or solved a different way. For someone new to the field, this tool is on the same footing as the rest and could fit them better.

As an aside, the part I like the most about our field is the ability for a single or two devs to build themselves the tools they exactly need, and potentially share it to the community with low friction.

I love that answer. Thanks for sharing this.
Some application configuration does not allow host name resolution. In this case a symlink to a host-specific config file is used. Like, for `kitty` I make a `<hostname>.conf` for each host on which I have an account and then make a local, per account symlink to a literal `local.conf` included from `kitty.conf`. This same pattern is useful in configs that do allow dynamic host name resolution as it robust against cases where the host name unexpectedly changes.

All dot files are distributed via `vcsh` with the remote `git` repo in a personal `gitea` instance.
Collosal Cave ChatGPT Challange

All of these are true.

Sodium catches fire when exposed to air. That's why you don't expose it to air. Generally you fill the reactor with argon, which is an inert gas, and very heavy (dense) compared to air. Leaks can still happen, and the few sodium cooled plants around the world have all experienced them. But the fire the sodium catches when in contact with air is a very mild one. It's nothing like the violent reaction sodium has with water.

Which brings up your next point, that sodium reacts with water. For some reason you said "in some designs [water is used] as secondary cooling cycle". Which makes me think you are fully aware that this particular design does not actually use water in its secondary cooling cycle, but rather molten salt (point mentioned by Gates in the article). It's a bit disingenuous of you to bring up this point (arguably the greatest negative point about sodium) when it is actually irrelevant in the reactor discussed here.

Sodium absorbs a neutron and becomes a strong gamma emitter with a low half time. To be more precise, the half life of Na-24 is 15 days [1]. It decays in a stable isotope of Magnesium, which is not radioactive. Any leak will result in radioactivity that will naturally completely disappear after about one year.

As for the "strong gamma rays" (all gamma rays are strong, by the way), they are contained in the containment vessel.

Edit: the half life of Na24 is 15 hours, not 15 days. Even better.

Ask HN: How do I find a good mentor while stuck at home?
So, I started college and my developer career during lockdown, and now, with an earthquake in my country, my school's still remote. I've had the chance to work with some amazing people, but none of them were doing what I was doing, since I've always been part of small teams. I feel like having a mentor could really help me out, but I've seen some HN posts suggesting that online mentors aren't that great. They say it's better to know someone in real life and build a deeper relationship with them.

What would you guys do if you were in my shoes? Appreciate suggestions.
