I understand why people gravitate towards Diablo, nostalgia and the power the name Diablo carries, but Diablo has been a shell of itself since 3, and yes, 3 did improve substantially over time, but it was still a cookie cutter ARPG pretending to be the successor to Diablo 2.

Path of Exile is free with one of the fairest monetization systems of any F2P, has 10 years worth of content, is mechanically complex while allowing more casual fans to just have fun, has a very active and large community and tools, it looks great, feels great, and more importantly, is getting a new update called Path of Exile 2, which is more of an expansion to the base game with a whole new campaign, maps, skills and mechanics reworks... And it looks even better visually.

Somehow PoE is never even mentioned in the same room with Diablo, when it's more Diablo than Diablo itself.

The article is about Canada.
Hugged to death at the moment I think. But please consider not deleting the chord when I click it. It's very counter intuitive to have data/buttons/options vanish by simply clicking on it.
No, it is well understood because the failures of metals are much more reproducible than of other materials.

Both for ceramics and for composites the failures are caused by microscopic defects that are never the same for different samples, so the conditions for failure are very variable from sample to sample. Therefore the results of experiments with such materials have lower predictive ability for the behavior in a real application.
I have absolutely no idea what this self-involved waffly collection of buzzwords is trying to say and I'm upset I won't get back the time I wasted trying to read it.

Apple knows exactly who the 2019/2023 Mac Pros are for - people who will pay for the best specs and need PCIe cards.

The 2019 was a very flexible machine, the 2023 is a lot less flexible. Don't expect that to change - the GPU and RAM will be staying on the SoC because that's the architecture every other Apple device has. You really wouldn't want to be in a world where the lowest selling Mac is the only one that still uses NUMA.
That's the plan with the gap year. I'm not sure about taking a year out in the middle of my A levels. I'm hoping next year is better. As a result of doing further maths I did the two-year maths course in one year but didn't do the exam this year due to not getting the necessary grades. The plan with the course structure is to do further maths next year, but I've dropped it, so I should need to "just" improve my maths grade through practice instead of learning new content. I still have computer science and physics of course.

I've got three weeks left of this academic year, and since we've finished the content for the year I might take those three weeks out so I get 9 weeks of break before next year. Hopefully I can improve in that time.
Some good points in there, but no conclusion. I've read this article a few times before from various people and I'm wondering what's next in the discourse on this issue.

"They congregate on [...] 8kun, the successor to 8chan..."

I am pretty sure only Qanon boomers congregate there now ever since Ron very clearly chose to pander to them over a more traditional and slightly more balanced (such as it is) imageboard userbase. There was also a second 8chan with the extension .SE where a lot of people left to go to after Ron became like that.
With the U.S. tax changes preventing early stage startups from deducting their employees' salaries from revenue outright, I wonder if we'll start seeing more Canadian-based innovation.

It can't be assessed by a single dimension, but it doesn't have to be. A high quality engineer absolutely can rank the technical competence of other engineers in his field (not just computer science) with a high degree of certainty, and that's all you need.
The "it's complex" argument is similar to the "it's a tradeoff" argument in that both are easily abused to justify any bad decision.

I have a Fitbit Inspire 3 which, while looking more like a bracelet than a watch, offers all of the functionality the author was searching for. (I bought it primarily for sleep tracking, for which it offers AFAIK the best feature set outside of dedicated expensive sleep-tracking equipment.)

However, I’d not really recommend it, and probably wouldn’t buy it again, given the choice:

- very slow and buggy sync, which often takes a minute or longer to sync a day’s activity when sitting next to the phone running the Fitbit app in the foreground, and/or often fails. (This is the sort of crap that makes me appreciate e.g. AirPods just working)

- poor ability (and worse, to my memory, than very early Fitbits) to accurately determine the start and end of sleeping. Given sleep tracking is one of its standout features, this is very disappointing.

- probably, overly-sensitive sleeping tracking suggesting I wake multiple times in a (good) night, which other data would suggest isn’t the case.

- the ‘raise wrist to turn screen on’ feature almost never works. Not the end of the world because I’m used to double-tapping it instead, but another example of bad coding/QA.

- weird inaccuracies/oversights in exercise tracking. For example, it will correctly figure out that the recent two-hour block of raised heart rate was a bike ride, but will simultaneously credit me with 15000 steps during that time, presumably due to the vibrations from riding the bike, but not putting 2+2 together.

> Factoring out the (ridiculous) 3 months it took for the relocation agency to prepare and submit my work permit application

Taking that long, brings into mind the possibility that you used an incompetent agency. Thus, maybe they also filled the actual application badly, and then the Canadian authorities had problems interpreting and processing your application.

Maybe this all can be explained by an incompetent agency, and not faults in the actual Canadian system.
The numbers aren't correct. Australia has a declining population excl. migration, so perhaps your domestic figure doesn't include deaths.

Permanent visa quotas are indexed as a percentage of population since 15-20 years ago, and it was reduced this year for the first time in ages be 5k less (195->190).

Net overseas migration is commonly touted but that includes citizens/students etc and is just that years entrants - departures: highly affected by recent global disruptions during covid.

Thank you, I hadn't heard of cognitive neurotherapy/neurofeedback. It's been suggested by some other people in this thread. I looked into it and I can get it privately for ~£2000, which is within viability.
Money from advertisers doesn’t decrease long-term without uBO/yt-dlp users (since they don’t watch ads and pay for them). So less operating costs for Youtube, and more money for creators (in theory, if YT doesn’t keep the costs savings). That should help the platform, not kill it.
Wax sealed cardboard is certainly viable. And regular cardboard is fine for fruit and vegetables.
There's no bayesian reasoning here, just someone assuming something to be proved to be already true. Statements don't become self-evidently true just because someone assigned probabilities on them.

Also, using only past billion occurrences of the sun not blowing up, and then still concluding that the sun will not blow up despite of any recent indications of the sun showing anomalous activity seems a more accurate analogy.
>> The marbles that were bought, preventing them from being ground up to be made into cement - which was happening.

Are you saying the Parthenon friezes were being ground into cement? That's interesting, I had never heard of that.

What I had heard was that the Parthenon sustained most of its destruction during the Ottoman occupation, during fighting with Venetians:

Prior damage to the marbles was sustained during successive wars, and it was during such conflicts that the Parthenon and its artwork sustained, by far, the most extensive damage. In particular, an explosion ignited by Venetian gun and cannon-fire bombardment in 1687, whilst the Parthenon was used as a munitions store during the Ottoman rule, destroyed or damaged many pieces of Parthenon art, including some of that later removed by Elgin.[64] It was this explosion that sent the marble roof, most of the cella walls, 14 columns from the north and south peristyles, and carved metopes and frieze blocks flying and crashing to the ground, destroying much of the artwork. Further damage to the Parthenon's artwork occurred when the Venetian general Francesco Morosini looted the site of its larger sculptures. The tackle he was using to remove the sculptures proved to be faulty and snapped, dropping an over-life-sized sculpture of Poseidon and the horses of Athena's chariot from the west pediment on to the rock of the Acropolis 40 feet (12 m) below.[65]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elgin_Marbles#Morosini

I had also heard that the Ottomans had been taking the lead from columns to make into bullets, which caused the besieging Greeks to send them their own to avoid the destruction:

During the first siege the besieged Ottoman forces attempted to melt the lead in the columns to cast bullets, even prompting the Greeks to offer their own bullets to the Ottomans in order to minimize damage.[67]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elgin_Marbles#War_of_Independe...

So are you saying the occupying Ottomans, or the Venetians maybe, were grounding the Parthenon friezes to cement and Elgin stole them to preserve them?

Often "legacy" institutions appeal to their age to tell us how they should be trusted with data. Ironically, they are the people I least want to have my data, since they seem completely incompetent in using it for anything valuable and instead just try to use it to grasp more power.

I'd rather some scrappy startup have all my data than my bank or my insurance provider. At least the startup has limited power. My bank can ruin my life by giving my a shit credit score because their model told them to, and by appealing to their trusted societal position, they'll convince themselves that it was the right thing to do.

It's relevant because they aren't just VC bros or Saudis. It's just 670k. I'm not sure why you're so worked up about it or why you think Kagi shouldn't get additional funding.
The typical formula is that it costs double a person's salary for the total budget. So really you're saying 5.5 years and 2 people is a low number so maybe you build a team of 4 and then the runway is an excruciatingly short 2.75 years.
With that logic everything should be free and provided on the spot, even for the 0.001% scenarios

> Also gave downloads for offline viewing.

I used to have those "downloads" on Youtube. There are not a real downloads because I do not have an access to the file. Also the feature tends to be misworking - from time to time one of "downloads" just stucks with eating 100% of 1 CPU core and the recipe is to remove all the "downloads". This was one of the stupidiest features I ever had, because if I need a video for offline wieving but do not want to get a file, I can just watch 100% of video (of course with adblock because YT advertisements use to destroy cache) and do not close the tab, then suspend my PC and unsuspend it in the place I want to watch.
Not a very clean solution but if someone (power user) wants to avoid the playstore entirely, they can perhaps do so by simply force-disabling the app (using tools like adb), and then use something like apkmirror[1] or apkpure[2] or aptoide to install the APKs for the apps directly and bypass the store entirely?

I pay 45€ per year for membership, and subscription of the magazine is the only part of the membership I enjoy. Sure, postage to Europe costs extra, don't know how much.

If quality of the magazine deteriorates, I will cancel my membership. If the price goes up by 20%, I don't think I'll even notice.
For first load? Sure, that's possible in many case.

But that cannot help with interactive pages or web applications, and in other cases it can be a bandwidth/latency tradeoff.

High latency is always bad and should be avoided. Serving content from the served contentinent is the minimum requirement for good UX.
A few weeks ago I tweeted this [1]:

Frankly, writing Python code in 2023 with types annotations, dataclasses, structural pattern matching, and an editor (Kate ♥) that supports LSP with the mypy plugin for pylsp installed is just as cool as writing OCaml code!

The addition of the `match` construct since Python 3.10 is indeed a huge additional improvement that is called for in the linked post which dates back from before it was a thing (from the blogpost: “One thing I miss from Rust is its ‘richer’ enums, and pattern matching”).

Afaik, iOS does save a location, and marks it as a parked car, when it looses the bluetooth connection to a device it identified as being a car. So no additional hardware needed for this to work.
Some good points from first principles. But there are ways. If you manage to make the composite with a very good process so the fibers are straight and closely packed, then it can have good compression strength as well.

This can be achieved for example in pultruded carbon rods, where the carbon fiber is under tension when it passes through an epoxy bath. They have been used in aircraft wing top spars which receive compression loads (when taking positive gees).

How to make a cylindrical vessel that can take compressive loads? The creation process certainly needs some thinking and attention.
I used to have a Garmin running the Simply Late[0] watch face to achieve a similar goal. I wish there was something better on a more everyday-looking watch.

That was a bad surprise for me too, but I understand why they did it this way. They were not after millions of dollars, but a (relatively) small amount.

I'm assuming accredited investors reduce the paperwork / liability and are a better plan A. As they secured their funding target with that scope, they don't need to action the plan B of non-accredited investors. That's less energy spent on investor relations and more on the product.
Bagisto – open-source alternative to Shopify
Hey Hacker News!

I'm excited to share my work on Bagisto, an open-source eCommerce platform designed for modern businesses. I've been working on this project for quite some time, and I'm thrilled to finally bring it to the Hacker News community.

This particular open source eCommerce framework is targeted for new age developer graduating out of college and looking to build eCommerce website with easy with less learning curve.

What makes bagsisto different is the tech stack on which it's built upon; Laravel and Vue.JS. This makes any new developer having basic knowledge of MVC architecture can directly start working on bagisto.

Bagisto also follows a modular approach, allowing you to easily extend and customize the platform to fit your unique business needs. You can add or remove functionalities without modifying the core code, making it highly flexible and maintainable.

We welcome you to try it out and give us your feedback.

Mullvad has a policy of not keeping logs, and they have gone to extreme lengths to implement the technical side of things to ensure that this really is true.

Other VPN providers claim to not keep logs and you have to take their word for it. But then whoops it turns out they did keep logs after all.

Mullvad is the only VPN provider that puts its money where its mouth is.

Swedish police recently tried to raid Mullvad, but the tech ensured there were no logs for them to take https://www.theverge.com/2023/4/21/23692580/mullvad-vpn-raid...

What reason is there to believe that Proton will be in a better position to protect their VPN users, than they were at protecting their Mail users?
>government expects free market will solve the housing

I nearly choked on my milk reading this. When in the recent period has housing ever followed the rules of supply and demand? The government policy makers, nimbys and banks are constantly doing everything possible to prevent the bubble from popping and to limit supply to ensure thier nest eggs keep appreciating regardless.

If housing actually had liberated free market, without government or nimby interference, we wouldn't have a housing crisis.

Same in Europe. Nobody wants the unsustainable housing bubble to pop, because everyone , from the voters to policy makers, are heavily invested into it with the idea that it must always go up no matter what. We've basically chosen going full steam ahead towards the iceberg because "line must go up".
It might well be that most of the boilerplate is a "solved problem" - then the question becomes; is this solution used at all? Let's have a look at a recent init file, from current Debian. I again just picked the first thing that I found, which was the openldap package:

https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/amd64/slapd/download

This init file too is over 200 lines long. I don't know how much of this is avoidable boilerplate, but evidently the Debian package maintainers either don't know about it or they lack the resources to implement it.
