That reaction may have to do with too much cutting, as another commenter alluded to, but it may also have to do with the types of nutrients you are missing when cutting.

I mean, no offense, but considering I actually talked with these people, it’s pretty obvious that they were born a decade after the death of Stalin. You do realise there was 36 years between Stalin death and the fall of the Berlin Wall, don’t you?

I personally use Orion Browser (macOS) and Homerow (macOS) and it gets me in a similar situation, without the buffer stuff, and with a more traditional setup. I can recommend that if you're looking for an alternative.

Maybe we were holding it wrong, after all.
>Before the GPU adds an entry to the raster of pixel colors, it compares the distance of that pixel from the camera with the number in that location in the Z-buffer. If the current distance is less than the one already found there, it knows that the pixel in question should be overwritten in the main raster and that the Z-buffer raster should be updated with that pixel’s new distance from the camera. Ditto if the Z-buffer contains a null value, indicating no object has yet been drawn at that pixel. But if the current distance is larger than the (non-null) number already found there, the GPU simply moves on without doing anything more

Surprisingly not the way 3dfx works. Voodoo 1/2 (no idea about V3, but I wouldnt be surprised) will calculate, texture and gourad shade every single triangle being pushed thru it and only then in the last step decide if it passes Z-buffer/alpha test or not. There is no speed difference between drawing 1000 triangles in random order vs sorted front to back. Speed difference when turning off Z-buffering/alpha is minimal, you only skip the logic deciding between storing or skipping write to framebuffer.

There was so much easy optimization left on the floor when first 3dfx cards were being designed!

My favorite obligatory 3dfx fall/Nvidia killer mode timeline:

Forget retraining. Should we teach kids on a new keyboard layout? Should manufacturers put out more hardware options? Should software developers make alternative layouts more visible and easier to choose?

There's a cycle here: Existing people type QWERTY, so they buy QWERTY keyboards, so they teach kids QWERTY, so they buy QWERTY keyboards, so they teach their kids QWERTY, and so on.

You know I think you are right and that this often repeated answer on the internet may be wrong or maybe the yield you can get using permaculture type methods at home is drastically lower than professional farmers using fertilizer and industrial equipment (very likely).

Let's say a home grower could maybe get 1/4 of a professional farmer's yield. 45/4= 11.25 bushels per acre is 675 lbs per acre, which would be enough for four people for a year.

It makes me feel better about the feasibility of growing my own grains and living on it in an apocalypse. I've always wanted to try growing a field of wheat or something in my backyard. Maybe I'll try it someday. I've often wondered if garden grown grains and bread would have the same massive difference in quality and taste that you get with a homegrown tomato vs. store-bought.
I think my argument is easily seen as this, but that is not my intent of "argumemt." As you say, and if I'm not mistaken, in this case they only "cared" about this because it was easy and "in the way," as it were. I don't think it was a waste of time to pick up the penny in the road as you are already there and walking.

What I am talking towards, almost certainly needlessly, is that it would be a waste of most people's time to profile anything that is already down to ms timing in the hopes of finding a speedup. In this case, it sounds like they were basically doing final touches on some speedups they already did and sanity testing/questioning the results. In doing so, they saw a few last changes they can make.

So, to summarize, I do not at all intend this as a criticism of this particular change. Kudos to the team for all the work they did to get so that this was 7% of the remaining time, and might as well pick up the extra gains while there.
They risked their money and reaped the awards of there investment. The success of a company is not determined by a dice roll, it is determined by the founder’s execution and product market fit. Given this, I’m not sure how you would consider this to be an inequitable “lottery”. Do founders who do not execute properly and make a low quality product deserve the spoils of success?

However, I do agree that we should keep the rest of humanity in mind.
So my office is a sunless dungeon that I don't get to see outside? Sounds awful.
It probably was, except that there weren't blog posts about it.
> In these situations the only reasonable option is price controls (without or without subsides) and I can't think of any other solution.

You still don't need price controls.

Suppose you have a subway system. The monopoly isn't on the cars; you could have multiple operators using the same tracks. The monopoly is on the tracks. Alright, so the tracks can be publicly owned.

They don't have to be publicly operated. They can work like this. Construction and maintaining the tracks is put out to competitive bidding. Competing train operators then bid for timeslots to use the tracks. If a line doesn't receive enough bids to pay for its maintenance, it gets shut down. If operators place bids for operating a new line (with e.g. a 10-year contract) that exceed the lowest bid received to construct it, it gets built.

The government isn't actually operating anything or setting any prices. All they do is retain ownership of the tracks and put out the provision of services to competitive bidding, so you don't need any price controls.

Thanks, there is some attempt in the code to auto select US/Canada date format if the user's timezone is in the USA or Canada, but I didn't actually test it to see if it is activated correctly. Any US user's able to chime in if it does?

Even if it works, I'll probably take your suggestion add a tip below the date to clarify the date format for the user's first session.
I've had another bug. I use an iPhone with one physical and one eSIM. I swap out the physical periodically, and any SMS message threads I had with Android contacts using the physical sim become broken. Sent messages will stall out and never send.

I am required to delete the contact, delete the message thread, restart the phone, create a new message thread, then re-add the contact via the thread. This works ~50% of the time. I have to delete the contact and the thread because both of them store some info about the SIM being used and it appears to get cached somewhere preventing me from sending more messages with the new SIM.

My assumption is the issue originates from the profile that is created for physical SIM. Anyway I'm never upgrading my iPhone because I'm not gonna give up a physical SIM slot.
Republic means not having a monarchy. You can have a democratic monarchy like United Kingdom. Or you can have democratic republic like most of the countries on the planet including the US.

Some people try to distinguish between representative democracy and direct democracy but since the latter is rare, democracy usually just means the former.

Edit: I guess republic is particular from of democracy, plus non-monarch.

NASA, the one who gave us the moon, and the one who gave us the shuttle and Hubble, is dead.

The SLS is a pork project of beastly proportions, with its stupidity matched only by its cost. Sure, it might function in the sense that astronauts flying on it won’t die, but it demonstrates all of the worst of government largesse and incompetence and waste.

I may not love Musk, but just… if anyone at this point were going to repeat the Saturn V’s successes…
I'm certainly sympathetic to this argument. Is why I didn't care about staying qwerty for the longest time.

No, I did this not for any perceived increase. I did it only because it made me happy to see it was an option. So I took the option. :D

I will say that I don't think it has made an impact one way or the other. For better and worse, I am looking at the keyboard when typing, so I am guided by the visible keys more than on a keyboard.
And the Limited Edition was $139.99 when I got one in late 2012.

I think I got my original one in 1982 for under $100, because I got two discounts. When I went to the Caltech bookstore to buy one they were sold out, but had one for display that people could try out. They said I could buy that one at a discount. There were no signs of any wear or abuse from the people who had tried it, so I was willing to buy it.

But I noticed that it was using comma instead of period for the decimal point, and period instead of comma for the group separator. Neither I nor the salesperson knew that there was a setting to swap these. We though it must either be defective, or somehow the store had actually been sent a model went for one of the countries that uses that convention.

The store offered me another discount because of that swap. I thought a while and decided that I could get used to it, and accepted.
Yeah, for sure. But we aren’t under attack, and headlines should tend to avoid any possible confusion about that
Not to be confused with "quiet quitting".
> Touchscreens require significant user visual attention. You can't just feel for the button while watching the road and the traffic, you have to look at the screen and place your finger.

If only that were the extent of it! The deeper problem is there is no haptic feedback to let you know a press was registered, so even after you find the location your focus gets drawn in to watching to make sure your press registers. And this gets even worse with controls you need to press many times in a row.

Society makes it hard as well. It’s unacceptable to be falling asleep high on opiates. Hitting a vape on a video call with coworkers is considerably more acceptable.

> require significant user visual attention

I'm going to get crucified for this, but - it's not that big of a deal anymore on modern cars. I drive ~75% on autopilot so few seconds of attention is going to kill me. The other 25% traffic is slow enough or stalled that I can wait for a moment where I can afford to do my task.

Of course my partner hates autopilot because she looses focus and misses all the highway exits :facepalm:

This is a cool way of tho king about the problem.

Nevertheless I wouldn’t switch.* The value of a clock with arms is that you can read it at a glance, while a text (”digital”) clock requires parsing — much slower, especially when you want to compute a relationship (how much time before I have to leave?).

* I like that the author wasn’t actually trying to convince anyone to switch. It’s just a nice exploration.

No, the incentives are actually perfectly aligned.

Risk is correlated with reward. People who invest $100,000 with a 0.001% chance of even getting their original capital back, should see massive returns when the investment works out.

This use of republic is particular to the US. Recently, it has became particular to the Republican Party. Some of it is from the earlier usage, but I suspect it is really to contrast the Republican and Democratic parties.
"... being able to move at high velocities without creating a sonic boom or any visible means of propulsion"

maybe you're looking a vessel with more than 3 dimensions, and when it moves throught the next dimension/s, it allows it to do those kinds of movements. Maybe we're just seeing just an "expression" of a 4th-5th dimension vessel in 3D, but it's not really fully interacting with our three dimensions (maybe it's just leaking photons), and that is why those things can make impossible things like instant acceleration, submerging in the ocean at high velocity without making a minimal splash (maybe they could "submerge" into solid ground as well? that would explain UFOs in mountains, if you can get into a mountain to hide your presence, mountains look amazing as amazing parking lots for UFOs).
Link handling needs to check keyboard modifier state, so that you don’t intercept things like Ctrl+click.

You can also work with just one event handler rather than many, which is generally easier, and more reliable if other scripts ever touch the DOM.

Here’s something you could replace the first register_links() call with (and drop the other register_links call and definition):

addEventListener("click", event => {
var link;
if (
!event.button &&
!event.altKey &&
!event.ctrlKey &&
!event.metaKey &&
!event.shiftKey &&
(link = event.target.closest("[swap-target]"))
) {
update(link.href, link.getAttribute('swap-target'), link.getAttribute('swap-history'));
event.preventDefault();
}
});

Some other minuscule patches for size and/or performance (of things a minifier won’t do):

-document.querySelector("html")
+document.documentElement

-window.addEventListener
+addEventListener

-'*[swap-target]'
+'[swap-target]'

-fallback = null
+fallback

You can also simplify the code a tad by inlining function dom_changes and dom_load—though any minifier will do this for you, but I find it nicer having those functions inline to begin with. On style, I also wish for consistent single or double quotes rather than mixed.

The document.createElement('html') dance feels wrong. I feel like it should be using new DOMParser().parseFromString(). I’m not sure off the top of my head if it will matter, but it feels like you’re inviting mXSS attacks.

On update, you’re only applying body stuff, but you normally want to merge head changes in as well, especially document title.

You’re going to run into problems with replacing document.body.outerHTML. Browser extensions and other page JavaScript regularly rely on being able to inject their own stuff onto that element, and on a stable identity for the element, too much—so you’re going to break or be broken by various user extensions and other scripts that you load beside swap.js. Major UI libraries have sometimes started with working directly on document.body, but they’ve all ended up recommending that you mount them in a subelement instead, because otherwise too many things mysteriously break. I recommend getting away from this somehow, but I’m not sure quite how—it’d definitely add required complexity.

I’m not fond of how loading works: you rely upon this script being loaded blockingly, with customisation also blocking and after it. Some major uses of this script could otherwise be async and completely optional (progressive enhancement territory). Unfortunately, because of how you handle loaders, you can’t just switch to `document.readyState == "loading" ? addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", dom_load) : dom_load()` to make it support <script async> usage, without losing functionality. You’d need to expose some other way of adding to Swap.loaders.
I submitted some posts to this but it doesn't seem like the author has updated it. I probably run into one of these once a month!
I don't have a colon (but I do still have a functioning anus). The effects from orlistat are very similar to what I experience 24/7. If you're under 30 or so, eventually your sphincter gets much, much stronger and the excess oil stops affecting you nearly as much. You can hold it in indefinitely until your normal "need to go" timing. This takes about a year or so to train, and you'll have quite a few accidents in the meantime.

I still can't eat too much salmon in one sitting though :-( I don't get diarrhea but I do get stuck on the toilet for ages after.
I don't understand where there hasn't been a project to add Microsoft Windows style graphics to the kernel.
Windows has a built-in windowing library like GTK, which reduces fragmentation because you don't have the X/Wayland Qt/GTK choice matrix.
Another nice thing is Windows also provides a simplified driver interface ("miniport") for graphics card drivers, which simplifies supporting hardware. Also the graphics drivers run in user-land, sort like a microkernel design, so if the graphics driver crashes (which, if you're a longtime Windows user, you've definitely seen happen), it doesn't cause a kernel panic, and the kernel seamlessly reverts to framebuffer SVGA mode.
Tried your app, I liked the product idea but think the execution could use much more work. Personally, I am obsessed with FaceApp’s filters. If you could make an app with even more interesting filters but with the same (or better) realistic quality, I’d definitely use it :)
Such agreements only force-project the illusion of a larger, unified entity as opposition to anybody who might act against them. It is a deterrent at best.

Good to see this is finally getting coverage
Not entirely sure what you’re saying but I’m literally, actually, living here and have been for 20 years. I’ve lived all over Tokyo and indeed elsewhere in Japan. I know what the air is like where people are actually living and working, as opposed to wherever the monitors happen to be placed.

There is loads of research showing a marked drop-off in the danger to humans from vehicle emissions as you move away from the kerbside. Even walking on the far side of a wide curb can significantly improve your prospects. My point here is that people are living in extreme proximity to tailpipe emissions, all day long.

It is a perfect candidate - perhaps the best candidate city in the world given how much else it gets staggeringly right on urban design - for strict tailpipe emissions regulations. Ban diesel trucks, introduce congestion charges, incentivise the adoption of EVs.

That is unlikely to happen, however, as Toyota in particular famously is one of the biggest global lobbyists for the internal combustion engine - a fact covered numerous times at length here on HN. That’s a fascinating political and economic story in its own right and one I’d encourage people to read up on.

Tokyo’s air quality is a story of corporate and political greed. Nobody does anything about it because no one talks about it.

An interesting development as cloud services become increasingly more important (if they aren't critical already for businesses looking to get big) would be cloud services providers structured as mutual companies, like we see in some insurance and financial services companies (Vanguard, State Farm, etc).

This would create a fiduciary duty to not soak the customer for everything they've got (no more sky-high public internet egress charges!), but also a structure where the customers of the company are the company's legal owners, so both workers and external customers could technically own a piece of the means of production if they use the services for their hobby projects or business.

I would not be surprised if this comes to exist in the future as people want downward pressure on public cloud prices, and it would be an interesting development seeing legal ownership of "the means of production" (public cloud infrastructure) and earnings from it titled to anyone who uses it.
