> Many of the indie darlings from that era would be lost in the noise now.

What to make of the absence of A-lister game development personalities? There are maybe exactly zero. Notch disgraced himself, and he may be the single only person to have ever gotten into the regular person popular consciousness enough. In the near past, Sid Meier and Will Wright had their names on games, but I guess not in a memorable enough way. I'm not sure anyone watched the three or so TV series about John Carmack and John Romero. Gabe Newell, Shigeru Miyamoto, Sam Houser, Tim Schafer, Hideo Kojima... A baby boomer is not going to recognize any of these names. None of these names pass the "Mom, have you heard of..." test.

So there will be lots of noise.

There are benefits to this - the absence of a system - though.

- no institutional power: As you may have experienced, there's no one taste maker. When you are trying to market for $0, it's literally all serendipity.

- the heritage: There's no such thing as a nepo baby in game development. All those ex-Blizzard people have just as little chance of making something anyone plays as you do, even as they finance 8 digit budgets to your 0.

- the data: Valve, benevolently, shares the data that movie, TV, music and book financiers hoard, allowing any 1 smart person to correctly play the role of the 10,000 studio executives at Disney.

- there's even some up front money, for nothing: Facebook, also benevolently, gave out lots of development checks for games, expecting basically nothing in return; Epic Mega Grants similarly.

We could make a lot less without collapsing modern civilization though.
The requirements grow with the capability of the tools. VFX getting better in the last decades didn't make the crunch less.
You might be overestimating the popularity of Go within Google.

That said, a tool like sudo should be written almost entirely in a very high-level language that is easy to use and review. C, C++, or even Rust should be reserved for places where the system interface requires it, if there are any such points of interface.
This topic is about plastics getting into the environment in an uncontrolled manner being a huge problem. The first step to do something about this would be to make sure that you collect as much of the plastic currently in circulation as possible. Offering a financial reward for collection would be one way to achieve that.

If recycling is not an option, burning would at least solve the problem of microplastics, if a complete burn of these materials can be achieved. Controlled storage in a landfill would be another option, until there are better solutions to handle this type of trash.

My point was that there are some policy options to approach this problem and "all is lost" neither a constructive, nor factually correct point of view.
As of today every tech platform scans every message, photo, email, etc. for CSAM, yet there isn't misuse of the system. Why would that change under the proposed change?
It’s from the Joker school of money management. Although I believe he only burns his half.
Many companies aren't using offices at all, and it's changing commercial real estate. A lot of offices are going to default on their loans over the next few years since they can't extract rent from tenants with huge vacancies. Personally, I welcome the new world order without offices

I think GP's opinion is fairly contrarian. I would say the in-house tools at Meta are substantially better than typical open source or commercial tools used at smaller companies.

That makes me wonder, would a notepad executable from XP or 7 run on 10 and 11, and would it be faster?

On my Win 10 machine with an SSD and animations turned off Notepad and cmd do launch almost as fast as in that NT demo so maybe it wouldn't be much of a difference.
The realities of regions don’t go away. It’s a primitive to save you money. If a new entrant doesn’t have it they are either just operating in one region or you’re paying cross-region prices for everything.
Halving the emissions of the wealthiest 1% would have the same effect as eliminating the emissions from the poorest 50% of the population[1].

It's not a population problem. It's a consumption problem. The number of people consuming is only one variable of the equation, and it is neither the easiest, fastest, most attainable nor the most ethical one to adjust.

There are a lot of low hanging fruit we could tackle with willing policymakers, before depopulation has to be even considered.

I'm tired of having to drag in another dependency and lose operators if I'm doing money math. I can create an experience in C++ that's almost rational, with operator overloading, but most other languages were designed well after we knew that doubles are not sufficient. And there's more than just arbitrary precision. For example,, some currencies use three decimal or no decimal places. Two just happens to be convenient for the Euro and Dollar. In addition, sometimes you carry prices to 3 or 4 places. But you still want banker's rounding. And I shouldn't be able to add Turkish Lira to US dollars, any more than the language allows adding floats and integers, without conversion. Then there's locale correct display for currencies (e.g. $ vs USD and before or after the money amount).
How much time you spent on this project?
Doesn't matter. Both implementations run on the same platform and poisoning the compiler for both versions are equally probable.

If you can pull a lower level attack with general purpose toolchain, targeted for either implementation, it's a more impressive feat, for sure.

However, Rust implementation adds a significant SLOC on top of that complexity.

make the chess board on the website the same as the one on The password game then press Calculate button. Have fun! Edit : press reset to get the full board!
iki.fi does that. It's excellent.
I don’t understand why comments like this are getting downvoted. I understand the absolutist position against any content scanning, but Apple very clearly tried to strike a middle ground that is far less invasive than the content scanning systems in every other photo service run by Google, Microsoft, Flickr, etc. And then when everyone freaked out, Apple didn’t ship it! Meanwhile the FBI can browse all your Google Photos right now.

Beside exercises, stretches and all that which obviously help, changing bad postural habits is absolutely needed, at rest and not at rest. Learn to feel what is right and what is wrong when it comes to posture, we can get so used to a bad posture that it feels right so that has to be un-learned and the correct way should be learned. And small things like tongue resting on the roof of mouth are that should not be ignored, so look into oral exercises as well.
Gobi boots from VivoBarefoot are my favorite. Re-used ones are available at revivo.com, and I've worn each pair continuously for 3 years: working, hiking, sun, rain, etc.

I have a pair of ENIX Sandals I bought 6 years ago that I wear when it's really hot. They're also great.
Given that Ronald Moore has driven shows he’s worked on to similar absurd and horrid endings, like the similar religious subplot woven into the last season of DS9, I think we have a better culprit for the terrible last season of BSG.
Do you honestly believe Labour won't be pushing the same agenda once they're back in?

Sure, their last term was a while ago now, but still, Starmer is exactly the kind of person that pushed the anti-privacy, pro-surveillance agenda that Labour was also very fond of.
The a posteriori "I told you so" title, "Pixar was never a masterpiece factory", is a clickbait sham. Many Pixar sequels outdo most first-run offerings from their wannabe competitors. They have also made a great film or two this decade.
I loved Bug's Life. In retrospect, it is easy to demonize the film as arguably its best performance was made by Kevin Spacey. Cars was challenging to get into, particularly given the considerable Heartland cultural nods. As my first born loved it, I saw it repeatedly and eventually I could clearly see its greatness that others could see first viewing. It did decidedly well at the box office. A much much better title of this article would be, "I don't understand why everyone else loved Pixar so much".
The mail is slow and faltering, as well as expensive, yet emails aren't always a good answer to the need for communication... I find my guts seizing up, just a little - but that's all it takes to mess up the flow of thought that pours onto the page. I like to sit in the dappled sunlight and think of my friend, as I write.

I take photos of my completed handwritten letters. I send the photos as email attachments, and keep copies too.

I can do much the same with forms, but I find I have to point out the existence of the attachments in the main body of the text.
I'm really struggling to understand fly.io's path to profitability considering the relatively low margins for SMB/hobby clouds. They could have the whole world on their free tier but what happens when it's time for EQT to cash out?

Can they build enough features to make fly.io a serious option for companies? I just can't see myself using it or pushing for it at any of the companies I've worked for unless it's a <5 person team with no need to scale in sight.
I have no idea how those annotations work and how I can map them to the object I want.
Full title is actually "How we lowered FullStory for Android’s impact on app startup time by 75% thanks to Emerge Tools" but that was too long for HN.

For those interested in food and history, I would definitely recommend the Tasting History series on YouTube. Every episode, Max Miller makes a dish from a (sometimes vague) old recipe and does a short, relevant history lesson. E.g. he covers 500 year old proto-pizza here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6XvMKdD2tY&t=12s), medieval trenchers here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6XvMKdD2tY&t=12s), and lots of Roman recipes.

For something more academic, Ken Albala has a whole course on the cultural history of food here: https://www.wondrium.com/food-a-cultural-culinary-history

I'm not connected to either - they are both just great sources of fun that will make you think about food differently.
I can no longer access it now. But I have posted the Google maps embed link if that helps.
Interesting that it is already not about fossil fuels but about electricity as if it can only be generated with CO2 emissions.

> There's one sure strategy for beating climate change and no one dares speak it out loud.

You also did not dare but I can do it for you, birth rate limitation and perhaps suicide. There is a reason people don’t dare say it.
I am aware. The iOS feature has some kind of auto detection going on based on gyroscopes, while the Android version requires the user to tap the power button five times.

The automatic speed and G force detection mechanism has completely different false positives from a button being pressed. Both can happen on accident, of course.

I don't really understand how the Android feature gets triggered by accident; my best guess is that the power button is resting against something and getting fake touches that would otherwise just launch the camera (the standard double power button tap on Android). The BBC article doesn't explain how this happens.
My question was actually a bit stupid. I wanted to clarify what the parent implied by posting that link, but I guess it was just a citation for the grandparent. Thanks for the interesting info.
If part of your solution is less people it is a non-starter. The only solutions for less people are imposed child restrictions, war, or genocide. If you force less electricity and less meat you will get less people by starvation and death from the elements. How about solutions that dont kill people.
I lost Paul to a fire (3 different water emojis didn't put it out :(). Then I didn't feel like typing in every single possible chess move until it was happy, so I gave up redoing it.
> using a language which is far more complicated, less clear, and readable/reviewable to far fewer people?

By that reasoning we should rewrite all these tools in JavaScript or Ruby, Python or some such. Clearer (than C), more readable and readable/reviewable to far more people.

Edit: to be clear: I think that would be an extremely dumb idea.
You know that you can have a shared culture even if you're not under the same flag.

Italy the country might be young, but the Italian language, for example, has been around for 600+ years. The Divine Comedy is from 1308.
Fortunately, I only have to deal with Microsoft products at work. Unfortunately, one of those products is Outlook.

Years ago, I developed the muscle memory of copying links from outlook and pasting them into a browser rather than clicking on them directly. This was to avoid various "helpful" things Microsoft insists of doing. Now, that habit will pay off in spades.
I think that would all depend on how advanced this hypothetical tech is, and the timeframe in which someone wants it known to the public. DARPA may not provide enough cover for sufficiently advanced discoveries that cannot be explained without raising bigger questions.

It could also be a misinformation campaign meant for adversaries to make it appear that these hypothetical discoveries are backed by a source that may potentially yield more.

Beyond this, perhaps we now have evidence that adversaries reverse engineering the same tech are ahead of us, and enlisting the broader scientific community is now the primary goal.

And again, I’m not saying these are likely explanations. But in the unlikely event that we’re really talking about alien tech, they seem plausible.
Chlorine is a basic chemical element and benzene and vinyl chloride are compounds. You made a counter-argument so devoid of intellectual rigor that your examples do not even compare.

Also, what are you saying that there’s no evidence? Even if it’s not in the article (which is an opinion piece, not a scientific journal), then you should have had the diligence to look up the claims before taking a stance? Plenty of objective sources cited in their Wikipedia articles alone:

Yep. Just like your face will be hairier if you were to pluck every single one of your eyebrow follicles but stop shaving your beard.

It will take millions of years to recover from the biodiversity loss we've already put into motion. Hundreds of thousands, millions of species that just don't exist anymore. The intricate relationships from parasitism to symbiosis and everything in between, a vastly complex machine we just stomp on, cut up, blow holes in. Yep. That machine will be fine, shame about those eyebrows though.
The documentary "Jurassic Punk" tells a story about Steve Williams, a VFX artist who was central to the animation presented in several blockbuster films, including The Abyss, Terminator 2 and Jurassic Park. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15095920/

Williams did not receive credit, nor benefit financially.
My only complaint with 2003 was screen resolutions. Otherwise I find that theme to be beautiful and more importantly, functional. You can cleary and quickly identify which window has focus, there are clear borders seperating one application for another.

If my comment isn't making it clear, I absoluetly HATE "modern" flat interfaces.

>I have two windows side-by-side with a little overlap, I can't figure out where one ends and the other starts.

>I can't quickly tell which window has focus, because the focus indicators are some little tiny graphical detail.

>Some applications (/cough/ chrome) go out of their way to break OS standards. Like merging the tab-bar into the title bar, or hiding the tab-history icon over by the window control icons.
I believe that desiring to be truly known by more than a couple of your closest relations is unfortunately a losing proposition. I'm just making up numbers, but I think about 90% of people's caring about other people goes to the people they are around all the time. Then 90% of what's left goes to people like The Beatles, or Trump/Biden, or whatever celebrity. Trying to get the attention of others is fighting for scraps of scraps.

I did this once, at work. Worked on a passion project that I poured my sweat and soul into, didn't even receive a 'good job' (this team had some organization issues and I wasn't even on the radar of almost anyone who worked there). It was truly demoralizing but a necessary dose of reality for me. Probably working at an early stage startup or small independent team where everyone who works there is actually best friends with everyone else is the only way this would really pay off.
this is one of the places I feel generative AI can do a lot of good. It can get rid of the routine VFX like changing an actors pant etc that VFX artists are inundated with and leave only the artistic work for VFX artists which is hopefully not as taxing and not as requiring of crunch

What are you basing any of this on? I have seen demos that would be incredible for previs and animatics but nothing that would pass for final quality.

Computer graphics research, software and hardware continues to march forward, that's a reason visual effects have progressed so much in the last 20 years.
Vercel's New LaunchDarkly Integration

> Both the left and the right in the US are waging a political war on normal people.

To be fair, if those normal people had to reconcile Chinese slave labor with affordable luxury goods, they might wish we knew less about how the sausage is made. But largely I agree - this is a bipartisan cycle of neglect that lets China get away with far too much.
My impression is that when fly.io has been discussed in the recent past on HN, its founders/employees/whatever swarm the comments to try and control the conversation, heh.

GreenDot implementation as a business case for recycling economics was examined here in California when the Electronics Recycling was in formation. There were some structural problems with the way that money moved through the system, the product categories, the marking system and the handling systems.

You can find discrepancies in anything if you want to enough.

I can’t convince you of anything because all of the data is classified or under HIPPA. All we can do is trust the highly credentialed people about their general findings. Gary Nolan is a world renowned pathologist that has started several NASDAQ companies. The CIA sought him out to investigate Havana syndrome because he created a new MRI machine (I think? Some kind of brain scanning device) that is world class.

I don’t follow Havana syndrome closely enough specifically because we are less likely to see that data than we are the upcoming revelations from congress of some non-human technology.

Many words are pronounced in a skewed way in non-native english speaking demographics. I've heard almost everyone I meet saying Software-'Soot' instead of 'sweet', 'Adobee' as 'Adob', 'Orcut' as 'Orcoot', and 'alarm' as 'alaram'. When I asked them if it does not come out the way it is supposed to be when they are reading it, it actually 'didn't sounded like that in our head.'

I'm from India. I went to a school (started by a British-Indian family) where the students speaks so many dialects, that English was the only common denominator and I remember a lot of emphasis was given on pronunciation and the like. Getting the right lyrics of English western songs was one of the common pastime.
Nokia had a decent set of 'standard' batteries. Major makers wouldn't use them, because they had their own range, but minor makers would often just use a nokia battery shape (sometimes with branded batteries, sometimes with existing knock-offs, sometimes with actual Nokia batteries).

Of course, now that nobody wants to make a reasonable phone with a removable back, it's not that helpful. One hopes the EU regulations push us back on course.
Can the FBI not browse all my iCloud photos too?

I don't think a closed-source E2EE implementation would do much to change that.
