How am I supposed to find what I want to click on with that page without hovering over everything? Not only that, that page is from 2016, the "young voters" already had phones by that point... how are you supposed to hover on a phone? (I assume the phone experience is entirely different here, fwiw).

This reminds me a lot of toy websites I made in the early to mid 2000s when I didn't care about accessibility or usability or discoverability, and made stuff that looked cool for the sake of cool. I cringe at those things I made when I didn't know better.
It’s about the ceremony involved to initiate an informal meeting.

IRL you might just grab an empty office or room and hit the whiteboard for ten minutes.

In other tools you need to invite specific people to a chat, and they have to find and respond to that specific event.

In discord you say “let’s meet in the engineering channel” and anyone who also wants to join can do so.

It’s a seemingly simple difference but I found discord so great for remote work relative to slack. It’s just much more casual, like real life.

Something I literally have never been able to do, despite tons of trying.
I think I read a comment on HN that described what "military grade" meant: stuff made as cheaply as possible by the lowest bidding contractor that sometimes is fit for purpose.

That said, I think there are times when it does mean something. I believe military grade/milspec chips/ICs are often engineered to be more resilient to environmental factors like heat and vibration, interference, etc. If I'm wrong about that, I suspect it won't be long before we learn if I'm right.
Why not improve the linux client instead?
You’d honestly think, in this day and age, when we’ve got all these matchmaking algorithms for helping rich folk hook up and get celebrity-endorsed food from ghost kitchen to door on an electric bike while still hot, that we’d maybe have some means of bringing the right people on the ground at the edges into contact with the means and the skills and the best intent nearer the root.

Clearly it can’t be something originated by a tech bro out of (until a few years ago) California - the literal last thing the world needs is another white guy with ideas about how to “fix” Africa - but there’s gotta be someone who can originate it demand-side, and articulate what they need rather than the other way around.

For one, I’m absolutely certain I could teach any motivated human on this planet the basics of how to make technically-adept content for YouTube inside six months, modulo someone to help with language barriers… but I haven’t the slightest clue how to identify someone in Nigeria (to keep running with this example) with the charisma and cadence and delivery chops and other local knowledge necessary to appeal to a Nigerian audience… hell, I barely know what language(s) that person should speak, never mind what music genre and tracks and cultural references they should use to get the attention of the age group they’d want to target. I mean I know how to choose a Nigerian presenter that would appeal to (and, perversely, not threaten) me and mine, but that’s not exactly the same thing, even when we’re talking about something as “universal” as CS instructional content.

But, hey, anyone in Africa (or anywhere with similar issues, really) with solid and serious ideas on how to fix that, hit me up.
That’s not the point. Why are people choosing terrible names? “Discord”, “Revolt”, and “Riot” are all basically antonyms if your product is designed to enable communication between people.
If you read the article, you know that the context was extremely specific and not suitable for general use.
The noise is too big problem.

In ”normal” context such signal is not currently known to be really possible.
You know that submarines are not equipped with these.

The ship on the surface had to drop cable 100 meters below the ship to combat noise.
Which means that for communication to be possible, ship cannot really move.
And the ship is supposed to be almost directly above the submarine, to reduce the noise again.

For signal to be practical, it should go either over the surface or go long distances horizontally and be usable even with some noise.
People accepted long ago that Nintendo primarily makes consoles for its games, and anyone who wants to come along is welcome, but not necessary. They aren't trying to corner those markets. They just do as a result of the games they make.
I actually have my own instance of Revolt set up on my home server for myself and my group of friends to use, the big issue is the lack of good mobile apps. The PWA is janky and unreliable and can't do notifications on iOS, and can't upload images on Android, either.

Wow these numbers blow my mind. I imagined much deeper but some of these seem literally just below the surface.
Larger platforms have more underlying primitives platforms like Render can use (instances types, networking options, data storage options, regions, etc).

A PaaS (depending on scope) can easily be the most complicated thing to build in the cloud, so the more building blocks you have, the better.

1000% this. A previous participant Mike Reiss, former Simpsons producer, did a interview a few days ago where he all but compared himself to one of the astronauts on the Mercury missions. It was nearly borderline delusional.

He even said he was well aware of the risks involved and kissed his wife goodbye not knowing if he would see her again. Just because something is insanely dangerous doesn't make you an explorer, and you're not performing in any research capacity, you're a former writer for the Simpsons and this is TOURISM. Get some perspective.
I can't help you with a docker setup, but if I'd highly recommend Vite for standing up a working Svelte dev environment (or Sveltekit, or React, or Next for that matter): https://vitejs.dev/guide/

You'll be up and running in seconds. This is all you need to know:

# npm 6.x
npm create vite@latest my-svelte-app --template svelte

# npm 7+, extra double-dash is needed:
npm create vite@latest my-svelte-app -- --template svelte

(if you're looking for sveltekit it's the same command, you'll just select sveltekit in the prompt)

I have never been more seen in my life. It's very frustrating, especially when other people tend to extrapolate the little they know and apply it to everything. It can be frustrating when others are right but for the wrong reasons, and not even know it.

> This could be solved by having well-designed interface guidelines and have those guidelines enforced by the company building the headset. If anyone is going to do that, it's Apple.

I've no doubt there will be tons of third, and possibly even first party peripherals for it, but treating gesture interaction as the baseline to design against was the right call. It's the number one thing that will help adoption right now if done right. I think the callout made in the keynote about each new Apple product being based around a particular interaction paradigm (e.g. mouse/keyboard, clickwheel, then multitouch, now gesture) makes it seem obvious that this is the natural evolution of HCI.

> No matter how good the gesture recognizers get, waving your hands in space is never going to be as good as having physical controls and buttons attached to your hands.

I thought this as well 5 years ago, but pose detection and reverse kinematics have come lightyears since then thanks to ML. I'm fully confident that what Apple is shipping with Vision Pro will be equal to or better than the 6DOF control fidelity of the gen 1 Oculus constellation based tracking. The only problem that remains is occlusion when reaching outside the FOV, which indeed it's hard to imagine a solution without controllers or an outside-in tracking setup.
My guess is the lack of income from providing this information from a browser vendor (who are all mostly Chromium based, so there's no reason to offer anything that makes it easier to use their specific browser), and the number of companies that have popped up offering to sell you tutorials on web development.

I am in my almost mid-40's, so I got to watch the web grow, and have my skills grow with it. Reading uncompressed source code from libraries like PrototypeJS/Scriptaculous, and early jQuery, along with the custom code per website, definitely made me the developer I am today (in regards to web development, although desktop tools have definitely gotten better, as well).
I was flagrantly misidentified by Lexis Nexis and subsequently a recipient of a pittance resulting from a class action lawsuit many years later.

> One of the peculiar and interesting aspects of this game is that it rewards you for not playing it. Often, the next cookie purchase requires several orders of magnitude more cookies than you are currently producing, so you have no option but to leave the game alone, sometimes for days, before your cookie factories churn out enough cookies for you to unlock the next level of progress.

A mechanic all too often ruined by desperate monetization.
I actually quite like it. I don't agree with the author's point that it gets "sludgey" in the middle of the gradient either. It's fast and the contrast holds up and it isn't too busy.

Fullack. Returned my framework laptop because of 3 hours battery life (streaming Netflix, measured multiple times), the 747 sound (customer support told me "works as expected"), and if I want to fry eggs I have other devices for that. I'd say "there's room for improvement".
> Many parents believe that working hard and making money is how they express their love for their children, but miss the fact that their children may not see it the same way.

Seems to be a bit of a meme these days for parents (usually dads) to talk of “building intergenerational wealth,” often as a euphemism to being a workaholic.

It’s pretty gross because it attempts to paint their own vice/not showing up as virtuous on a larger timescale. And they know this, which is why they cast it in some grand terms in a performative manner.

It is widely believed that Final Fantasy being exclusive to PS1 hurt both Saturn/N64.

The best method for stopping addictions is motivation. If you got enough motivation you can do anything. To get that motivation, you need reasons, and you have to find those reasons, and in this case, is that clickbaits waste your time.

That's my method. And you probably could say "people sometimes can't see the reasons" - that's another issue, and there are different solutions to this, but it is a problem.

Cross Development for Fun and Profit, part 1
The first time my business partner and I made a significant sum of money, he expressed surprise at how I dealt with it.

He said that in his years, he's seen lots of people gain a sudden amount of significant wealth and, every time, they go a little crazy. Or, worse, they turn into assholes or become self-destructive.

He said that I was the only person he'd seen who literally didn't change at all. I told him it's because I've never hidden my crazy.

On what planet is a 50% increase small? The CO2 we've added to the atmosphere is trapping an almost unfathomable amount of energy in the climate system that wouldn't be there otherwise.

Theres more CO2 in the atmosphere that here has been in millions of years. Global average temps are higher than they've been in more than 100,000 years. The oceans are 25% more acidic.

On the other hand, you can look at the vast majority of society that drinks in perfectly reasonable moderation. Teetotalers make up a tiny fraction of society, yet civilization hasn't crumbled to barbarism. If a community is experiencing alcoholism at such a rate that it's "ripping through society", then that suggests to me that there's a greater root evil than the bottle.
If you're an American, good luck finding a nation who will take you unless you're wealthy or you have some special skill they desperately need.
I mean, that sounds like a data point of two now to me - you're also saying that Typescript and Svelte don't play that nice together if the plug-in breaks "all the time" and you need to be careful how you write code just to get correct syntax highlighting and code formatting, no?
To be fair, the only major complaint I have with that website is the gradient background (the strong red and strong blue) are both relatively the same perceptual brightness and tend to lead eyesight away from the content. Else, it looks like somebody's 2010s political blog; it works fine, although it could use more content.

Works great for those trying to get the vote of the older folk. Hate the bigoted, sexist, and racist views of the candidate, but I can't hate on his election website too much.

Also, given he's trying to get older folk to vote for him, his webdev should consider 16pt (not 16px, this isn't a typo) for the text. As we get older, our eyes get fucking awful.
> That’s 64 bytes per nanosecond, or 16 floats per ns, and hence 480 in the time needed for light to go 10 meters.

Again, terms and conditions.

The slow part for memory access isn't how much memory can be piped over the wire but rather how fast a request for the next chunk of memory can be issued. So while it's possible to get those 480 multiplications that relies on the cache being warm and the memory access being predictable to the CPU. If either of those two constraints are violated, then the number of multiplications is severely decreased.

In other words, the more frequently you have to tell the memory controller to get more memory, the less work you can do.

To put it in perspective, it costs around 100 cycles to load something from main memory. Imagine you are talking about something like an n body simulation that may be accessing memory all over the heap. In the worst case, you are looking at 4 multiplications (if multiplying by a scaler) and perhaps even just 2 multiplications if you need 2 memory pulls per multiplication.

Caches don't just help, they are necessary to come anywhere near achieving that 480 number.

Just a little history lesson.

Once upon a time, the memory controller didn't exist on the CPU, it was on a separate chip (the north bridge). Whenever the CPU wanted to load memory, it'd send a request to the north bridge and the north bridge would send that request to main memory.

One of the huge improvements to CPU performance for both Intel and AMD was integrating the memory controller onto the CPU. Why? Because they shortened the distance a request for memory, and the memory itself, had to travel significantly. Electrical signals travel at about 2/3 the speed of light and if your memory is 0.1 meter from the CPU, you can see how many requests for a new chunk of memory can really slow down everything.

This is fundamentally why nVidia's big GPGPU processors they sell to datacenters come chock full of memory. Because they want to limit the amount of time and times the GPGPU has to reach back into main memory to process stuff. It's far quicker to load up the 20gb of ram on the card in one go then to need to constantly pull that data over the PCIe line.
If you Google for ∀ you'll get a explanation of what it means. Same for ∫. Specialized fields require specialized knowledge. Same goes for programming, especially subfields of it. Every company has their own brand of programming language, C++ at Microsoft isn't the same as C++ at Google or Redhat or Apple. A new employee at a job will take months to be oboarded because they have to learn the company's dialect. During that onboarding, they'll learn about new words and they'll also introduce new symbols if they have to.

What does that mean for code that is being developed out in the open? Does it raise the bar for entry? Arguably there's already a bar to entry, which is being able to read English and being able to program in the first place. That there are some parts of the code that say "here be dragons" to the uninitiated who haven't yet Googled the meaning of the unfamiliar words and symbols seems like an entirely reasonable state of the world. If it's sufficiently popular, an explanation article, like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_inverse_square_root can be made, or an entire site, like http://explainxkcd.com.

There will always be more things to know (just today I learned about thixomolding. The science behind that has its own set of symbols to pick up), some of it will just require additional learning in order to learn.
This paper is an easy read, but it's basically just restating the premises of eBPF:

* Most programs can't be expressed in verified eBPF.

* The verifier functions, to the extent it does, in large part by rejecting most programs (and implicitly limiting the uses to which eBPF can be put).

* This is "extension code", and by definition, it interacts with the unsafe, unverified C code that the kernel is built out of.

(In addition to helpers, most serious eBPF-based systems also interact extensively with userland code, which is also not verified, and might even be memory-unsafe, though that's increasingly less likely).

It follows from these premises that vendors should be careful about enabling non-root access to eBPF; when you do that, you really are placing a lot of faith in the verifier. And: most people don't allow non-root eBPF. The verifier is in an uncomfortable place between being a security boundary and a reliability tool.

I'd argue that most of the benefit of eBPF is that you're unlikely to panic your kernel playing with it. Ironically, that's a feature you might not get out of signed, userland-verified, memory-safe Rust code.

> subs are the only truly strategic component of nuclear arms

I used to think this. But land-based missiles are essential for MAD, as a nuclear sponge and by being cheap. They also protect against a technological horizon over which subs are unmasked. (There is a great scene in The Expanse which contemplates such a horizon.)

What I can’t get my head around are nuclear bombers, which largely seem to be for posturing [1].

The point I'm trying to make is that what is being described as a "revolutionary" approach -- that of putting all of your application code into a single binary -- is just static linking but using wasm plus a small JavaScript engine. It's revolutionary if your whole experience is with Node.JS inside of Docker, but from my perspective it's the rediscovery of a 50 year old technology. Just with TypeScript/JavaScript in a browser engine.

To be clear this is a great idea and will solve a lot of problems, but it's not like people haven't thought of this before today.
