Except the reason why Quake (and other such 1st person shooter) games are very fast and optimized... is because John Carmack encouraged high-performance programming which is necessarily only practiced and understood by a very small number of programmers.

Carmack (and id software games) are legendary in terms of their high-performance. And given the source code of these games... the source code filled with raw assembly language and other such tricks like I posted above... the source code is nearly impossible to read for the "typical" programmer.

----------

This is absolutely not a company (or engineer) who did things "simply". He did things in a extremely difficult, high-performance first engineering mindset.

I dare say that John Carmack's practice is closer to "premature optimization", built around abusing incredibly low-level tricks to improve the performance of their various video games... and strategically choosing parts of the video-game simulation that people would prefer high-performance over accuracy. (IIRC: the Fast Inverse Square Root algorithm above is only ~4 digits or 12-bits worth of accuracy).

This was a programmer (or at least, programming team) that at a high level, decided that 12ish-bits of accuracy (out of 23-maximum bits of precision) was enough for their purposes in the vast majority of their code. And then used that slight performance increase to have a smoother-feeling game than their competition.

----------

IIRC, John Carmack is a legendary programmer in terms of low-level 3d details. He is a good programmer, but his style is the complete opposite of what you're calling it.
Exactly this, "imploded straightaway" doesn't explain no implosion registered AND probable banging noise heard a few days later, so it doesn't explain everything.

"Lost then imploded" explains both by adding only a small extra assumption so by occam's razor is strictly superior to imploded straightaway as far as I can see.
For a 1-person business, I would add:

Start from the beginning either automating things or farming them out if they're not your core business. Even if you have the skills at something, if you're not really supposed to be doing them, farm them out.

This is why Stripe (and Braintree) is so successful, because they have automated a real pain points for many people. (For that matter, AWS, etc.) It's not that it's hard to use another provider, or that you can't get payments or billing for cheaper, but when it flows together automatically you don't need to worry about it. People who are up to their necks in business administrivia and are treading water have too many annoying responsibilities that they both don't enjoy and cannot squash. If you go down the path of needing to maintain your stuff all the time, every time those pieces do not work together perfectly is a stressful time for you, focusing on things when you should be focusing on your life or your business.
The air in your lungs presumably becomes extremely hot. I'm not sure how hot. Perhaps you explode instantly before the implosion scatters you a considerable distance.
Everybody treats the sale of a company like you’ve won a game of Life. I went through a few where I obviously did not become a millionaire, and with a lot of time and unpacking it with coworkers and people with similar experiences, it’s more like an Irish Wake.

Sure there’s booze and laughter, but something unique has been lost to the world, and that’s why we are all here.
That looks incredible. Would be really cool to explore in VR.
This isn't remotely close to the first or even the tenth time I've seen this exact pattern play out. Finally there's some straw that forces the golang team to backpedal on a dogmatic position, but along the way there's dozens of comical defenses of the current state of things.
Truffle is definitely not only doing that across language boundaries but for far more languages. For example, using Ruby from JavaScript:

var array = Polyglot.eval("ruby", "[1,2,42,4]")
console.log(array[2]);

Invoking a C/C++/Rust main method from Python:

import polyglot
cpart = polyglot.eval(language="llvm", path="polyglot")
cpart.main()

Reading a JS array from C:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <graalvm/llvm/polyglot.h>

int main() {
void *array = polyglot_eval("js", "[1,2,42,4]");
int element = polyglot_as_i32(polyglot_get_array_element(array, 2));
printf("%d\n", element);
return element;
}

More examples here: https://www.graalvm.org/latest/reference-manual/polyglot-pro...

W.R.T. the "WASM guidelines", can you point us to these guidelines and where they define how to map a Python dict to a Java HashMap, for example? The Truffle Polyglot messaging spec does define how this is done in a way that avoids performance problems because the FFI is expressed in terms of compiler IR. WASM can't even run either of these languages natively so it can't define how they interop with each other.
It's also probably related to the "launch or die" ecosystem that Y Combinator, Sand Hill investors, and pretty much the entire ecosystem promotes.

When was the last time an investor handed an additional $10 million check for 0% to a startup to improve and test their safety systems before launching? Instead their usual mandate is "launch yesterday or die". Which is okay for a SaaS platform or grocery delivery app, but not a deep sea vessel.

Today's version of capitalism is every bit responsible for tragedies like this. While the CEO is directly at fault for certain things, the system is equally at fault for raising and educating a CEO (and huge numbers of post-2000s CEOs) to be like that.
We're working on SAAS version of kwatch that provides User interface, optimized notifications, more details about crashes, and more.

Ubuntu offers 10 years which is the same. RH is more entrenched, especially in the US. On the technical side, aside from selinux v/s apparmor, there aren't too many differences between Ubuntu and RHEL. RH has a few more custom offerings on the server side (freeipa, openstack, rhev, gluster, etc.), but those are probably not relevant for most users.
The Space Shuttle had a 2 in 135 failure rate.

Challenger's disaster was the 25th shuttle flight.

Columbia's disaster was the 113th shuttle flight.

I'm pretty sure you could find large numbers of people who would happily climb on board a shuttle mission today, even knowing that history.
> Skype, which had sound quality somewhere between "2 cans and a string" and "that one CD that you still try to listen to despite your brother cleaning it with the wrong side of the sponge"

I actually had a friend who preferred Skype for that very reason. Due to the lack of noise filtering, she could more easily tell whether she disconnected due to her poor rural connection. It was a funny use-case that’s for sure. We were still rocking Skype up till 2018.
I think it's time to start ignoring the accusation of "bigotry" and other similar freely-used now-meaningless terms. If recognizing a trend and acting on it in a way that improves my life makes me a "bigot" then the definition of "bigot" is to be reasonable.
I mean you don't need a cloud connected AI to significantly improve your experience in VS Code (vs basic token autocomplete).

Just installing the proper LSP for the language you work in makes a world of difference.
Super happy Svelte user. Have recently published an iOS + Android app using SvelteKit and blogged about the process for those interested:
https://khromov.se/how-i-published-a-gratitude-journaling-ap...

I tested the beta version of Svelte 4 on my app and it worked without requiring any changes other than running the migration script. Excellent work from the team!
I don't think you do. Outside pressure is almost 400x the inside pressure.

The implosion must have been very very violent and sudden. Being surrounded by carbon fibre and titantium means all that material and your body is trying occupy the same space.

I think it happened fast enough that nobody realized or felt what was happening.
At the (current) top levels, you might be right. I don't think it's been going on longer than 10 years though. I'd guess maybe 5 or 6.

The bulk of engineering doesn't like this, but sadly for a while now it's been a sales-driven company, and the IBM influence has certainly not helped. Sales doesn't give a shit about the health of Linux, or even the long-term health of Red Hat. They want their commission and promotion, and pesky open-source ideological things get in the way.
i just edited my post when you replied. companies where i worked had multi-billion revenues. it's not exactly small business. they just don't want to pay money for proper redhat. they had money to do so, but savings are savings.
For the effort of doing this, and keeping track of where it needs to be done--to only end up with arbitrary & questionable precision--you could just as easily use a decimal bignum library, which would be an actual solution.
Neo Financial cut time spent on infrastructure admin by 50%
I have been in a car accident that, in the instant of impact, felt indistinguishable from an explosion, too fast to process anything. I imagine the massive pressure change would cause near-instant incapacitation if not death.
The last press conference today from the US Coast Guard stated that the evidence (debris spread over an area hundreds of meters away from the Titanic) is consistent with the catastrophic failure occurring somewhere in the "water column". So current evidence points to it occurring during the descent.
Can someone explain why all of these federated services are so left-wing? Don't these people have enough of the normie internet catering to them already?
No, but the copyright holders can sue IBM for copyright violation if Red Hat distributes GPL code with restrictions attached beyond the GPL license.
What would be worse a catastrophic collapse deep down in the sea or a sudden depressurization high above in the sky around the Armstrong limit?
I think it’s more along the lines of “learn from the experiences of others”. It’s my understanding that there are quite a lot of very smart people who have spent decades figuring out how to build these things relatively safely. This company decided to ignore the existing knowledge base entirely because what the industry had learned was expensive and inconvenient for a fledgling tourist company.

What’s that analogy about taking down a fence without understanding why someone put it up in the first place?
Something about tragedies, and something about statistics...

But there's also the concern of frequency, [2] occurs more frequent than [1], people generally don't care about the people at [2] because they are "unimportant", and not prominent in any way. They are background characters on the other side of the world for many, they are not well dressed, they do not perform functions with significant influence on the broader society.

Or at least so they are perceived by the general public. They are labelled illegal immigrants, or leeches, or whatever else because people in many places can't fathom being born in a third world or very poor country and doing everything in your power to make it out.

Imagine, feeling so low, that you'd give everything, your life even, for a chance, a sliver of chance, at what others are born into.
Being charitable to those lost, I'm reminded that explorers are courageous and always have some measure of hubris.

"catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber" is a much better way to die than slowly running out of air in a super cramped container with a bunch of people.
i would expect the impact of the water rushing in that quickly to knock everyone out.
"completely moved" when only 15K out of 1.1M users have moved is a bit of overstatement.

Even so, this is the remarkable exception(-ish) to the rule, and the subreddit still seems to be pretty active , in fact with a lot more comments than Lemmy
The EU economy appears perfectly functional to me.
"Don't be snarky" is mentioned in the first rule of hn commenting. To be fair, I don't always abide by it either, but it's a good rule.
Red Hat, you made the internet's nicest man, Jeff Geerling, upset and you should be ashamed of yourselves.
I use vim digraphs pretty extensively, but typically for comments, and not code.

It's nice to be able to concisely document anything mathematical this way, it's also cute to be able to use the box drawing characters
I totally agree. Even when I worked at Red Hat and could get whatever licenses I needed, I still used CentOS for local stuff and for testing things because of the friction of the registration/activation process. It has gotten easier in recent years, but simply existing is enough to turn off a lot of people.
Just going to start normalizing being fired due to making me go out of my job description
Gnome and Wayland are the last worries for any enterprise customer.
The pressure at that depth is something like 5000 psi. You're literally dead before your brain has time to comprehend what's happening.
Text will be better due to simple scale, but the text will still be limited due to the use of a CLIP for text encoding (BPEs+contrastive). So that may be SD XL 0.9 but it should still be worse due to not using T5 like https://github.com/deep-floyd/IF
Wow this is extremely cool and exciting news, looking forward to kick the tires. Congrats to the whole DuckDB team !
It sounds like you have a misunderstanding about SvelteKit. It does have a client side router and you can use SvelteKit as a pure SPA today very easily, all you need is to set `export const ssr = false;` and `export const prerender = false;` in `src/routes/+layout.ts`. Then export with `adapter-static` and you're done.

Swing by the official Svelte Discord, we're happy to discuss your questions!

That still seems high for what Reddit is. I would have expected them to have 50-100 employees at most.
The latter clearly as you’d definitely have a longer time of being conscious.
Because it's usually only others who suffer from their easily preventable fuck ups. They always love the government when it helps them personally. The underlying pathology is pure selfishness.
There are exactly two lessons to learn from this:

- safety regulations, especially for high-risk low-margin-of-error endeavours are there for a reason, and we've already learned all these lessons the hard way

- the probability of any given billionaire being dumb as rocks is close to 1
> I don't think they could afford building a titanium pressure vessel

If they could they probably still wouldn't have done so. The founder who was onboard the Titan was known for calling safety regulations unnecessary and a barrier to "innovation", like a window only rated for a depth of 1300m used at 4000m.
I find the battery life on my framework 13 really bad (ubuntu installed).

There's some issue where the battery drains fairly quickly in suspend which requires enabling "deep sleep" mode, but it still drains a lot faster than other laptops I've had.

And then the battery life in general isn't very good; I'd say ~2 hours at full brightness with some video streaming mixed in with normal browsing.

I wonder if that's the same experience other people have? And whether the 16 will have better battery life?
Well, that's a conclusion that I suppose many expected. It's rather tragic, yeah. What I can't say I expected is the gleeful tone from:

- class warfare enthusiasts because the passengers were rich

- regulation enthusiasts because the pilot espoused weakening them

You'll see this online when a pedestrian or cyclist gets hit by a driver (along with "right of way doesn't mean anything when you're dead!" and "was he wearing a helmet?")

At some point, the personal tragedy for me is realizing that a lot of people in this world really take great pleasure in others' suffering even if those people have done them no harm. Makes me want to use the Internet less, if I'm being honest, since I don't want to encounter this kind of glee at others's suffering.
You absolutely can define your own colours. You can even have different colour pools per bracket type ([] () {}) if you want.

Given that colour blindness is a wide spectrum, I don't know what more people expect VS Code to do here?

Your chosen theme decides the original colours, then you can override them. Isn't that enough?
Cuil Theory is finally coming true! http://cuiltheory.wikidot.com/what-is-cuil-theory
Debates aren't really about determining the truth. Or, for that matter, about winning.

Debates are ideally ways to expose ideas, where they work and where they break, so that the audience can make better decisions. Debates are about the audience.
Actually for me I perform best when I can hear my inner monologue. If I'm in a social setting learning math it's not ideal at all, because I can't "listen" to myself think: I think through things entirely in my head when I can reason through and almost dictate to myself. But not verbally! It's almost like the moment I try to verbalize anything it gets muddied by whatever weird social/colloquial construct I've made to communicate with others.
Instant.

Imagine a Ford F150 sitting on every square inch of your body.
This is extremely eye-opening.
Yeah, legally adult is several years off minimum from neurologically developed prefrontal cortex...

I'm sad for everyone that died TBH. The website for OceanGate was taken down, but when I took a look yesterday it was full of stuff about how their pedigree and NASA/MIT tech, etc. I can see myself buying that, I'm not exactly a marine expert.

Not to mention it went down there something like 40 times already? It's not really fair to assume the passengers would have known the things that have come out since the submersible went missing.

Most damning to me, is that the sub's design was derived from Virgin's DeepFlight Challenger, which was scrapped because they could only be sure it was safe for a single dive due to the carbon composite hull.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeepFlight_Challenger

As a final point, one of the victims was a seasoned explorer (Paul-Henri Nargeolet) and Titanic expert, having gone on multiple prior expeditions. Kind of arrogant to assume we'd all know better and somehow have all this knowledge that has come out since the sub disappeared.
Or compliance certifications. Whomever has the one you need, that's the distro you're going with. And any customer who needs that compliance usually has a boat load of cash.

Microsoft really missed an opportunity for a boatload of cash by not putting out a distro for enterprise and government use. I guess they're making up for it now on Azure.
And in the simulator, six different scenarios. All appear to be inside (office, living room, etc.).
I'm using Asahi Linux on an M1 MBP since Oct. 2022.

It’s my personal machine that I use every now and then for programming projects and for organizing my files.

Everything I need works here. I even got suspend which consumes 5% battery in 2h. It’s not perfect but enough for my limited need.

All the software I need. Including Gimp, Darktable, and of course various command line/programming tools.

Edit: with the edge kernel I also get 3D acceleration bit I only tested this quickly in the webbrowser with WebGL.
That "enormous bias" could also simply be that someone is using polar coordinates a lot. It's hard to not encounter rho and theta in literature about it...

That's just one example, Greek letters have been used in science for a very long time and I personally find code that uses the same notation used in literature easier to reason about and much more pleasant to read.
That depends on how the programming language implements modulo. Some don't wrap around the way you would need here when the dividend is negative. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulo#Variants_of_the_definit...
I don't think these actions take place enough times for your numbers to have any impact on the robo taxis. At that point it wouldn't even be a slap on the wrist.

You'd have to add at least 2-3 zeros before any action would be taken, and the action would likely be something else then what you are expecting. These things just don't happen often enough for this to ever be addressed without the original point of piercing the corporate veil and making management personally responsible for these crimes.

But at that point you'd likely still end up with the dynamic of people getting paid to become the fall guy
How I read safety/dosing would be standardized weight/volume/concentration of the drug and not the idea of prohibiting sales over a certain amount per person per day. Which as you say would just turn in to a secondary market.
FWIW, if those websites used Caddy as their ACME client, then it would have detected the certificate being revoked as soon as possible via OCSP stapling and would have had the certificate renewed. It's a shame that other ACME clients aren't as robust to problems like this. (Disclaimer: I work on Caddy as a volunteer)
Not as much as you'd think! In many places in the yucatan peninsula topsoil is only a few inches deep; it's not rare to see no topsoil at all! The limestone bedrock is exposed to air.

Most mayan ruins have vast sections that are un-execavated, and you can just see the shape of walls/buildings/roads under the plants and foliage.

In the words of Fray Diego de Landa, a spanish bishop (and monster) that was in charge of the church in Yucatan in the 16th century:

Yucatán es una tierra la de menos tierra que yo he visto

("Yucatán is a land with the least amount of land I've ever seen", where in spanish "tierra" means both "land" and "dirt/soil")
Now let's see the youth unemployment rate.
It could have been the latter, followed by the former.
A tech stack that grows lettuce in vertically-integrated farms
I've only run across 3 primary models: Midjourney (via their Discord), Dall-E and SD. And yes, there's a bunch of sites, but I've seen very similar quality to SD and no mention yet of a different base.

I do expect there are other bases out there, but haven't seen any of quality yet.

Before this release (XL 0.9) it's been unclear how much of the SD quality was in-house or came from their prior collab with Runway/Heidelberg.
>I hope I live to be old enough that things sold to millions can succeed with their own story, instead of being subjected to eternal comparison to the iPhone story

VR has absolutely "succeeded" in the sense that it's a neat toy to play games with that we didn't have before. But for it to be anything more than that, yes the iPhone analogy is apt. Otherwise it remains a niche PC gaming peripheral, and nothing more (i.e. where we've been stuck for the last 5 years).
Why any other company track and sell users data?
The challenge is that these attorneys aren't acting in good faith, they're doing it for profit. Although they purport to advocate for the rights of the disabled, their business model is to find violations, however small, file a suit, and then offer to settle for several thousand dollars. Most of these lawsuits happen without an actual disabled person (who isn't the attorney) raising a complaint in the first place.

There was a semi-famous example of an attorney suing Chipotle because the counter was too high and he claimed that he was being denied the full Chipotle experience of seeing the food be prepared in front of him. The workaround of literally bringing the food to him tableside and preparing it in front of him there was not deemed good enough, and Chipotle lost the suit. As you can imagine this attorney makes quite a bit of money going around suing people, for reasons the average person would not find genuine.

"Chipotle argued that its accommodation was adequate and told the Supreme Court that Antoninetti lacked standing to sue. The company cited a federal judge's findings in 2008 that Antoninetti had sued numerous businesses over disability access and had not shown that he was sincere about intending to return to the restaurants if they lowered their barriers."
