apologies for inflammatory rhetoric.

my belief is that a significant minority of players have 240 fps monitors.

i would be very curious to learn the real number. i would guess 2-20% of pc fortnite players.

my assumption is that the majority of these aspire to be competitive players, or to play at that level casually.

the number of players with greater than $10k lifetime earnings is tiny.

fortnite is somewhat unique in that to participate in competition for money all you need is to be 13 years old. there is no need to join an organization or seek franchise. any motivated individual can participate from home without any 3rd party entanglement.
If that is your definition then a Framework 13 is probably not the laptop for you.

It does fit my needs perfectly though - a usually on desktop but portable for travel notebook PC with 64G ram and 2TB ssd for under $1200. Very cheap compared to other laptops with the same specs and I really like it.

That is not what Microsoft did at all.
I grant you that; but that was decades ago and it went down to the Marianne’s trench. People have developed safe vessels. Why did this guy think he needed to reinvent it with experimental of unproven materials. Dunk it dozens of times into 2x depths see if it remains intact. No, the Navy or someone deemed a vessel a 3,000 meter rating. And they were like ooops, I guess it’s not good enough. Damned right you don’t just meet the minimum rating. You should have a healthy margin of safety.
I appreciate the Tildes shout out. It’s an excellent site. Been there for 5 years at this one.
Seems like it; I have a personal subreddit the same as my username that I flip between private and restricted to post music videos I grab with an iOS shortcut (can't post video on private subs) and the same landed in that accounts inbox (2) days ago.

My other private subreddit for Wikipedia/github links has never flipped/flopped and it didn't get the same message.
Your [1] link is “Average Annual Wages” for the entire bracket, not the minimum wage to reach that income bracket. Top 5% is around 187,000k in the US, and that’s not as high as it sounds due to recent inflation. https://dqydj.com/income-percentile-calculator/

However, that doesn’t necessarily include any benefits. It’s expensive and relatively uncommon to get long term disability insurance that will cover lost income if you’re an hourly 1099 contractor, which is necessary for any chronic condition that prevents you from being able to work. Think offshore oil workers for someone that’s most at risk while being in that income bracket.
If it's a consumable, they should have tested at least one hull to destruction, just so they could be sure of it's failure modes.

Based on what I've seen, it doesn't sound like OceanGate had decided on a fixed number of dives. Instead they were planning to continually monitor it (x-ray scans after every dive and real-time acoustic monitoring during the dive) with the assumption that they would get some warning before it failed.
One of the biggest "fire fighters" I ever worked with was a serial arsonist.

She created these cluster fcks and then would throw out her shoulder patting herself on the back for putting it out.

She was in a constant state of panic. It was exhausting to watch her work.
The bigger issue, UX signup and discoverability issues aside, is that moving from Reddit to Discord is just trading one capricious corporate owner for another.
I have seen this happen to many friends, older gaming laptops either dying or running much slower than expected while my desktop just chugs along.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0N17tEW_WEU&t=166s This is what a controlled vacuum implosion of a liquid tank looks like at 1 atmosphere of pressure, including cameras showing the inside of the tank.

The depth of the Titanic wreck is 3800m; down there the vessel would be subjected to 380 times that pressure. So...probably.

Absolutely not. It was an incompetent, arrogant CEO and the four victims he murdered. To use any other tone after what we know now is frankly insulting.
Pretty much every library I have tried to use with Next App Router (and therefore RSC) doesn’t work with RSC. I’m sure it will change but we’ll be sticking for Next Pages for a while yet.
I mean i don't think you get it. Wasm doesn't ship with a filesystem, POSIX support tools, etc. You only get your language runtime, so they're not comparable.

Bare metal, VM, and containers all "look the same", like from a UX perspective. Wasm does not.
> Red Hat is still releasing source code. The only thing that it's not doing is making it super-convenient to rebuild exactly its product.

Releasing only to their customers and only if not redistributed. If you held redhat to the same standard for the open source they redistribute they couldn't exist.

Typography 2020

Lisps have an uncanny way of staying alive for a long time. I think Clojure will continue to have a dedicated community around it for the foreseeable future, but it will always be niche.
The new docs are extremely annoying; if you're still running a legacy app, sometimes you get put into a doc for a feature you think exists, but then you realize it's not for the right version you're running.

Also the new app routers are very confusing. There are concepts of a layout, template, page, etc. While it's nice to have server rendering at this level, it's difficult to understand what is bubbling which direction, and when to use a layout vs a template. Sometimes after building something one way (eg using layout), you realize you actually need to build it using the other in order for specific features to work.

Old Next was great and simple- new Next has become increasingly frustrating and not so easy to adopt.
Ya, I mean usually I find out about local news from talking to people, or sometimes from overhearing other people talk about something. I don't have a good source of local news right now other than that, but I agree with you, it is more directly relevant to my life. What's your source for local news?
Yep, a helicopter pilot used to doing real risk assessments.
Fully agree. I am annoyed by the educational pendulum swinging so far away from rote memorization that it eliminates it altogether.
Interesting, I wonder why manufacturers don't offer LCD backlight strobing as an option in TVs or monitors. It wouldn't cause wear like in organic displays. Perhaps the backlight doesn't get bright enough for that? I assume it should at least be possible with HDR TVs, as they have quite powerful blacklights.
They did roughly that with the previous hull: it was used until it had to be derated. This accident was on the replacement hull which already had a few cycles on it... tested but supposedly not worn out.

Material science is hard, especially on a budget. This is definitely daredevil territory.
thanks for destroying my evening + rest of my life with a new addiction lol
Vercel as a hosting provider is almost purposely slow (at least on the free tier) for app router based sites. RSC files in particular take 500ms to 2000ms to start serving those static files.
http://highscalability.com/ is one of my favorite blogs for distributed systems.
You can use getServerSideProps to look at the cookies before rendering the page for a user.

It’s slightly annoying though since you can’t use both getServerSideProps and getStaticProps on the same page.
Oh my god. How and why is it so affordable? Knowing that, I hope they offer a higher resolution screen someday.

> Consolidating all of those forums in a single place was nice.

Was it, though?

Sure, I'm not going to minimize the benefits of discoverability, avoiding the need for users to create yet another account, and taking the burden of infra maintenance off of someone who'd otherwise have to stand up a server to host phpBB or whatever.

But ultimately we don't strictly need these things. Isolated/fragmented web forums were doing just fine before Reddit came along. Maybe adding a little friction to the process of a first post to a new forum is a feature, not a bug.

> Reddit had a good thing, but neglect and mismanagement ruined it.

Yes and no. Ultimately, any time you hitch your community to someone else's platform, you incur the large risk that the platform owners will make changes that you don't like. It's not even "neglect and mismanagement": Reddit's owners have been doing what they believe increases the value of Reddit. Whether they're wrong or right about what changes accomplish that ultimately doesn't matter: those changes might not be what makes users and moderators happy, and users and moderators don't have much power to affect change. This protest/blackout may end up achieving the desired effect, but think of the time, energy, and effort wasted around all of it. Better to spend that time working on solutions that allow communities to own their slice of the platform, and have final say as to what happens with it.
I don't know the guy, but this seems off the mark. If he wanted to get rich, spending 11 years on a money losing operation seems an unlikely choice. My take is that it was a passion project, a passion he shares with apparently a substantial number of well-to-do people.

I don't judge.
The US Navy isn't capable of rescue missions like that, the US Coast Guard is. The nearest US Navy vessel were still probably hours away, even if they were equipped. So much reaching here to find an impossible task when you have 2-3 hours to operate the rescue. By the time a US ship arrived everyone would be dead. Not to mention that requires Greece and Italy to ask for help.
I agree that chat is not meant to handle knowledge, but I don't think a forum is the right approach either. What people probably want is a proper centralized knowledgebase like a wiki.

Personally, I'm happy for my chat app to be good at ephemeral instant communication, my forum to be good at longer-form async discussion, and my wiki to be good as a searchable read-heavy knowledgebase.
Somewhat tangentially related, if anyone is interested in writing eBPF programs in Rust, check out aya-rs (https://aya-rs.dev/).

Rustc supports eBPF bytecode as a target, and aya-rs avoids using clang/llvm. So you can use rust to write eBPF code in both user and kernel space.

This is a different beast from the usual rust though - lots of `unsafe`s.
And yet, still all probably hours away from the incident, which renders them going there pretty pointless. Especially when they aren't equipped for these sort of rescue operations like the Coast Guard to begin with.
fortnite is very playable on a variety of hardware. this is probably good.

it misses however what might be possible if a game targeted only high performance hardware.

240 monitors are not expensive anymore, and the typical fortnite build is highend cpu but not gpu. 240 is not as affordable as a ps5, but it’s not as unaffordable as a supercar.

in fact it may just be the supercar for the masses!

I would not not say buildkite is better, per se. I'd say it's more mature and much more flexible. Buildkite is easily "programmable" in a way that GHA is not. That flexibility is important for advanced/large scale use cases.

I’ve recently started working with NextJs and absolutely loving it so far.

However, with adopting the App Router there is a big looming question - what happens with frontend state/query management libraries like react-query/trpc?

So far, I’ve seen unergonomic solutions that require the developer to manually hydrate the frontend. Hopefully, over the next few months we discover a solution that “just works”, so we can widely adopt RSC.
In general, certainly at smaller scale (e.g. hikers who get lost/injured in winter), they're not charged in many places unless there was clear negligence. Which is mostly how you want it to be. You don't really want people to avoid search and rescue and just hope things work out because they're afraid of a big bill.
The discussion around this on other platforms is turning into a case against Diversity&Inclusion policies when it should be strictly seen as poor leadership.

Corporate strategy isn't conspiracy. I think it's even weirder to think redhat would just provide resources in return of nothing at all, or that redhat employees won't be biased towards steering the ship according to their employers best interest.

Like I genuinely don't think Gnome or systemd or Fedora would just use a ubuntu/canonical-built core system even if it was superior in every way

And hey I'm not complaining, I use systemd (indirectly) and gnome almost everyday. I don't care where the software comes from, really, I'm just glad I can use it. But that doesn't mean we can't be aware of the power dynamics around it :)
npm run dev should start the dev server with a page that hot reloads when you make changes in the App.svelte. You selected Svelte and not Sveltekit?

I just went through it and there's an important step of changing into the directory created by `npm create ...` (named `my-svelte-app` in the example above) and then running `npm install` inside that directory.

Can confirm it works for me with npm version 8.5.5, node v15.15.0, on a macbook air with an Intel processor.

npm create vite@latest my-svelte-app -- --template svelt
cd my-svelte-app/
npm install
npm run dev

Started up the dev server, made a change in the App.svelte, and could see it reflected in the browser immediately.

> Should you have to present a birth certificate to create an account?

I actually honestly believe that the era of "open registration" forums and discussion places is going to come to a close, largely due to GNN.

It's not going to become a problem until the hardware and walltime costs of training models and running them comes down. You'll know it's a problem when every 10th post on 4chan is a model pretending to be a human that is of a gentle but unyielding political persuasion of some sort.

I don't know what the end pattern will be, but it'll likely be a combination of things

- large platforms, like reddit or facebook, where individual communities "vibe check" posts out.

or

- some sort of barrier to entry, such as a small amount of money (the so called "idiot tax": if you're an idiot, you get banned, and you have to pay again)

- some sort of (manual!) positive reputation system for discussion boards, sort of like how peering works

- some sort of federation technology where you apply and subscribe to federation networks

I don't think we'll really be able to predict what the future looks like right now (it's not even widely recognized as a problem). And since this is HN, I'll add: I don't think there's any serious money to be made running reputation or IDV, unless you've already started. And if it becomes a serious enough problem, players like ID.me/equifax/bureau will be the situation for "serious" networks (linkedin, facebook, chat, etc).
That is why I replied to parent poster. He wrote like it would be that getting business from someone you know is already sign of nepotism but there is more to it.

Honestly, the price ratios are probably not that different between a Switch Lite versus a 240 hz gaming computer setup and a Toyota versus a Lamborghini.

I wonder if that had to do with the underlying business arrangements with the telcos.

They are probably set up to special-case 911 alone for phones with no service/SIM, and getting them to accept a second number is an entire new set of legal and contract arguments.
Most charitably they are probably just wealthy, and correctly recognize that republicans openly and consistently back their interests. While democrats only usually do and often appear ashamed of it.

This is likely a symptom of either histamine intolerance or Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), which I have as a co-morbidity with another condition. Research around MCAS is in contention with two opposing camps, so published research is currently all over the place. For me it’s related to overactive mast cell degranulation triggering dysautonomia. Once the autonomic nervous system is dysregulated the symptom list becomes expansive.

This is a pretty thorough paper on histamine intolerance specifically, and it discusses buildup of histamines in certain foods and associated symptoms.

Okay, yeah, that definitely isn't what I expected. It's pretty wild to me that `s = s[:2]` will ever work fine if `len(s) == 1`; I would have assumed that it would always be the same regardless of how the slice was created. Playing around with it, it seems like this means that if you pass a subslice to a function, that function can get access to things from the entire slice, including the portions that weren't in the slice passed in[1]!

I think I understand now why `clear` can't work on slices the way I think it should, but only because slices themselves don't work the way I feel even stronger that they should.

I'm sure there's new content on Tumblr too, even if we'd veer the opposite way and say that "Tumblr has nothing", which is equally exaggeratory.

So, what's the line? How much noise are we welling to dig through to find "some new content"? I'd argue reddit has enough noise to at least bring the question up.
I have one of those little “binary clocks” (it technically displays in BCD, but it’s still “binary”, right?). When I first set it up, it was running really fast —- like it was gaining hours over the course of a day.

Turns out it had a button combo for “switch between 50Hz and 60Hz mode” that was similar to its combo for (what I thought I was setting) “switch between 12- and 24-hour mode”. (I think the 12/24 switch was “hold the hour button down while plugging in” and the 50/60 switch was “hold both buttons down while plugging in”.)
