was it really wasted as in “the research data was not used”? or is the author just calling it a waste because we didn’t find aliens and they are disappointed?
TIL Box2D must not be serious code because it doesn't use copious amounts of explicit temporaries[0].

And just for the record, I'm very glad Erin Catto decided to use operator overloading in his code. It made it much easier for me to read and understand what the code was doing as opposed to it being overly verbose and noisy.

Is this where I'm supposed to say Wine Is Not an Emulator? ;-)

Jokes aside, totally right, and unfortunately, in my experience it's often a better experience to run the Windows port under Wine than it is to use the native version. e.g. the native version of Tyranny is just a black box for me, but the Wine version works pretty flawlessly.

I think userspace is just too unstable, and game companies probably don't want a forever-ongoing maintenance cost just to keep their old games running.

It's not the same if you need to allocate memory for the result. If you could pass the result in by reference, then you could (re)use a buffer which has already been allocated. The difference is massive in things like matrix calculations or image processing where you have an inner loop or a real-time stream repeating similar calculations.
Maybe so, but can you please stop posting unsubstantive and/or flamebait comments to HN? You've unfortunately been doing it repeatedly, and we're trying for something different here.

Built in types are special. The compiler needs to define operator precedence and certain semantics (commutativity, associativity, overflow, etc) that cannot be expressed in the type system or enforced by the interface.

The fact that it makes syntax "nicer" for user defined types is at best subjective and at worst an anti-pattern because it leads to bad compiled code and confused programmers. Function calls are unambiguous and follow the same rules as other function calls, while operator overloading does not.

> Take, for example, Australia–which has just stopped. Second-largest wheat exporter on the planet 10 years ago, but it is the canary in the coal mine: it’s the driest continent–it’s almost all in the subtropics except the southern fringe and they’ve just gone through what they thought was a drought. Not a drought. It’s climate change and it ain’t never going back: this is the new normal, guys. And as a result, Australia has exported almost no wheat for the last three years; they can still feed themselves–there’s only 20 million of the buggers–but they aren’t exporting wheat that can be used to fill in the gaps elsewhere and this will happen a lot of places.

I'm in Australia, and this comment about Australian wheat exports seemed off. So I checked: https://www.agriculture.gov.au/about/news/australian-wheat-e...

Nope, we're exporting more wheat every year. Some of the reasons for this are economic rather than agricultural (e.g. Ukrainian war). But there's enough wheat being produced to export.

I know this was written in 2010, so it might just have been a blip, or a few dry years, or something. But the "Australia has stopped exporting wheat because climate change" point is clearly not actually true. It did come back, this wasn't the new normal.

This guy was a criminal who preyed upon and endangered the working class. He didn't sell drugs to Macron's kids, or speed through a crosswalk where the elites would walk. That's why the riots are getting so little support from the average person, even other Algerians, despite the media telling us this riot is for them.

The rioters claim to be upset over a situation that nobody would have a problem with if anyone else had gotten shot, and which the media would have ignored if it hadn't fit the USA's racism narrative.

When it's your own project, and you keep linking to it in many unrelated threads, the assumption is going to be that you're doing it for promotion. (That's how it looked to me, at least, and I tend to be a lot more lenient about this than the median HN reader.)

Not only that but it looks like your account has been using HN primarily to promote your own work (this project and others), which is something that the site guidelines explicitly ask users not to do: "Please don't use HN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff part of the time, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity." - https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

There's nothing wrong with sharing your work on HN—that's an important part of what the site is for! But it should be part of an unpredictable mix of topics. When people are only interested in their own stuff, that's not the kind of interest we're shooting for here—that's using HN as a promotional target and really not in the intended spirit of the site. As the guideline says, we want people to share in the spirit of curiosity, not promotion, and that would normally include a range of unrelated/interesting things, not just one's own.

I find that comparison hilarious because my first experience with blender I bounced off it entirely because of it not using UI standard behavior like right clicking, etc, that I was used to because of an old trial copy of 3DS Max I had.

>Windows 7 not only used fewer resources than Vista

Windows 7 didn't use less resources than Vista, it was virtually the same, it's just that PCs have gotten miles faster in the timespan between Vista and 7 and people thought it was the OS that improved (think going from Pentium 4 to Core 2 Duo, from 256/512 MB to 2GB RAM, spinning rust to SSD).

7 was not that much different from Vista, the problem was that when Vista launched, most people still had Windows 9/XP level hardware and that's what most PC retailers were still selling as well, at least on the budget end, and expected Vista to run the same on the same HW, while Vista demanded more as it was a complete overhaul from Windows XP/9.

7 didn't improve much performance wise from Vista, it's just that by that time people had already upgraded to much better hardware, and they felt a massive performance improvement.

By most metrics, 7 was basically a Vista Service Pack, renamed to distance itself from the bad press Vista got, but it was more or less Vista under the hood, but it's the better HW that brought the speed bump. If you were to review both OSs side by side, you wouldn't notice a speed difference.
I agree with your sarcastic reply that naturally grown languages are simply horrible for shared comprehension!

They lost the console wars because they released shit consoles with shit games. They were totally fine during the Xbox 360 era when they made excellent games.

Who’s to say Microsoft won’t continue to subsidize the Xbox division? They’ve failed at every turn this past decade and yet continue to get a blank check.
I completely get the point you are making but I wish I had a business that was "failing" like Xbox is. :P

You are right about the exclusives, they have not had anything that has really grabbed peoples attention long term for a long while. Halo Infinite felt like it was everywhere for about 2 weeks and then completely forgotten about. But others like God of War on PS have had legs for years.

My take on this is that TANGLE-style reordering is much less necessary now that we have ubiquitous forward referencing and variables that can be declared in the middle of a function. If you read Knuth’s Pearls example[1], a lot of the code blocks would be separate constants or functions; but he’s using WEB to inline them to compensate for the one-pass compiler and associated limitations. In a modern language for the most part you already have the freedom to order your code blocks however you want, and you don’t need a separate tool to make this possible. At that point the main advantage that the technique offers is particularly extensive and well-formatted comments.

McIlroy also touches on this in his review, though from the other direction:

> Perhaps the greatest strength of WEB is that it allows almost any sensible order of presentation. Even if you did not intend to include any documentation, and even if you had an ordinary cross-referencer at your disposal, it would make sense to program in WEB simply to circumvent the unnatural order forced by the syntax of Pascal.

Without weighing in on the quality of the specific UI in question, this just seems like a big "so what?". Modern versions of apps are designed with much higher screen resolutions in mind than apps designed ~30 years ago, because higher screen resolutions are now the norm. That's... fine?

I'd much rather talk about how, in the name of "rapid development", we write using languages and frameworks that bloat memory usage and CPU needs.
The dual spidey meme is cool and is correct if you understand social networks in terms of functionality and not what matters - audience. Functionality is similar although Threads does have more of a sterile approach to product branding. So yes spidey meme works if that’s your lens. But the audiences are VERY different. Those that succeed in text-based microblog platforms have succeeded on and migrated to Twitter. That audience is dramatically different to the Instagram audience which is look-at-me visual types. Couldn’t be further apart. Ben and Zuck are looking in the wrong direction when making the spidey meme comparison. This is the 2023 equivalent of Eric Schmidt saying that Twitter is just email. It’s the audience, stupid.

> It's whitespace. There's wayyyy too much god damn whitespace

If you look harder, the icons are larger. Single icons got replaced by more explanatory content. The "expands" symbol is larger. And there are more actions crammed into the toolbar.

Also, yes, there's a lot of whitespace. But let's not forget the reason MS redesigned the office toolbars. It wasn't because it looked bad, it was because after people configured them to be functional it tended to take most of the screen.
LTE/5G data is extremely expensive in Germany compared to essentially everywhere else in the EU.

As toomim also replied, HTTP/2 is fine, and honestly, is probably preferable for your use case, since you won't also have to deal with QUIC/UDP, and can keep using TCP.

(HTTP/3 is ~90% the same as HTTP/2, just over a different transport layer, and ditching HTTP/2 prioritization mechanisms which you probably won't care about.)

> A key point of our WebSocket and http transports is to support environments where TCP connections aren't available. Are there environments that would let us send and receive binary data following an http CONNECT that wouldn't simply allow an ordinary TCP connection?

Based on the network diagram in your article, it looks like the edge functions speak HTTP to the proxy, upgrade that to WS, and then the proxy routes raw TCP to the conn pool/db.

If so, CONNECT would be the same. The edge function sends an HTTP CONNECT request, the proxy would set it up, and afterwards, both hops are using the same transports as with websockets. The edge function would send HTTP/2 DATA frames wrapping the raw bytes, the proxy would unwrap those bytes, and then route the bytes over TCP to the conn pool/db.

If I understand your setup correctly, HTTP/2 CONNECT would be applicable everywhere WS is.
Unless the existence of such a tool at its disposal is in its context. A strategy would be to provide a set of tools, how to invoke them internally, and a description of their apparent interaction in the LLMs initial context.

At my high school taking trade classes would take up half your day, as you would have to take a bus to the regional facility that had all the trade classes. It was scheduled almost perfectly to overlap with the classes you would need if you wanted to get into college for a STEM degree.

We had shop classrooms on site all kitted out to teach kids welding, carpentry, and fabrication skills, and even had the old shop teacher still on staff. Admin just didn't want to teach it anymore, and all that equipment sat gathering dust. It would have been sick to offer a beginner's welding class as a study hall alternative.
Define free will. There is no evidence that humans have it, or even could. Everything is ultimately a chain of causal events. How do I empirically verify that you have free will and are not simply a sophisticated calculator of various electrical imputs and outputs?

Also remember that the commands that cripple a pipeline or ransomware hospitals are just "word output." A US Guardsman will be spending many years inside military prison for "outputting words" in the wrong place, and nobody thinks that is inappropriate for the potential amount of consequential harm.
There's another trick used at Disneyland (I'm not sure about the other parks) is there's very few long lines of sight in the park. The walkways connecting the lands have curves with trees and theme elements blocking your line of sight on the inside of the curve.

The short sight lines help keep everything in view the same theme so you're not jolted out of the "Land" you're in. It also helps keep the park from looking full. A majority of the park's crowd is outside of your line of sight at any given time.

Notice how crowded Main Street or New Orleans Square feels during a show/parade vs five minutes after it's over. You'd think the crowd got bussed out of the park.

It's even cleverer when combined with the forced perspective so the short sight lines never really look short. The forced perspective of nearby buildings tricks you into thinking distant buildings are farther away than they are.
This is an absolutely ridiculous move by them.

Fun fact, Nelly nearly played major league baseball[0].

"St. Louis' very own rapper/actor/celebrity fitness guru was a breakout talent on the baseball diamond, finding solace and stability in the game after his parents divorced and he was forced to stay with a string of relatives. In high school, he was named the MVP of the St. Louis Amateur Baseball Association All-Star Game, and was scouted by the St. Louis Cardinals and Pittsburgh Pirates. But around the same time, he started his first rap group – the St. Lunatics – and scored a regional hit with the single "Gimme What U Got," which led him to pursue a career in music instead. Within a few years, he had the whole word wearing Band-Aids beneath their eyes and spelling things with double-r's, helping to put the Midwest on the hip-hop map."

The sticker is a shoutout to his baseball days, imitating the eye-black[1] commonly worn by baseball players.

The real issue is Sony has many exclusives which gives Microsoft a better case (despite the judge saying it's NOT about Sony).

It certainly harms consumers, so I don't see how the court still approved this especially with the judge's comment against the comparison to Sony. Almost all mergers of this size harm consumers, the fact that it's allowed by default is the crucial issue.

If the FTC still had a spine they would go after all of these kinds of exclusive deals - and not just limited to games.

The film industry was famously broken up such that the production companies couldn't own theaters yet in 2023 that rule (if it still exists) is so weak that most production companies have their streaming service and aggressively pressure theaters into exclusivity Windows.

At the end of the day this only strengthens the trend to PC gaming which only benefits Microsoft and can only hurt Sony. It would only be a minor surprise if Sony joined the Proton/WINE effort with Valve to get around Microsoft exclusives. (Which does help consumers but in a 3D chess kind of way).

I don’t follow… in what sense is this JavaScript?

<button on:click={incrementCount}>

Specifically, what is on:click? It doesn’t look like JavaScript, and it doesn’t look like the DOM. It looks like a new language which is specific to Svelte.

Or what about this… is this JavaScript?

$: doubled = count * 2;

Or…

{#if user.loggedIn}
<button on:click={toggle}> Log out </button>
{/if}

Or…

<button on:click|once={handleClick}> Click me </button>

I am willing to believe that all of that is ergonomic in some way, but it doesn’t appear to me at first blush as very JavaScript-y, or explicit. I see a lot of black box stuff controlled by a declarative API.
