I set a kitchen timer to 12 minutes for each floppy disk's worth of download at 14.4k. It took many evenings of interrupting my TV watching every 12 minutes to kick off a new zmodem download. If it was indeed 30 disks (which seems reasonable; some of the disksets were only 3 or 4, others were 8 or more, depending on which packages you wanted), that would have been 6 hours in one shot with no overhead.
The only way to play Diablo is on hardcore mode and multiplayer.

Suddenly you are walking dungeons slowly, waiting for cooldowns to refresh in a corner, planning what area spells to combo with your party, exchanging items that were dropped.

I don’t know if HC players get rewarded in any way, with special dungeons or items but they should. It forces you to appreciate and think about the game much more.

Otherwise it’s just mindless click frenzy.
A small world indeed! I'm in the process of rebooting my engineering career and hoping forcing myself to use Slackware may help in a small way!

Back in 2015, I worked with Pentium III -class Cyrix processors on a legacy but still supported and in-production embedded system released in the mid 2000s AFAIK. But I never came across a Cyrix-based consumer PC or laptop (growing up in Southern California). Were Cyrix processors common on consumer PCs in India?

Slightly off-topic, but sorta related.

ToTK straight up sucks for accessibility, cognitive and sensory stuff especially.

I find myself using the ZD TotK map more often than I'd like:

https://www.zeldadungeon.net/tears-of-the-kingdom-interactiv...

And trying to remember what specific enemies are where is not fun for me. Is it fun for anyone? The Compendium doesn't keep track of them when you fight, despite the fact they respawn every blood moon.

I want another Savage Lynel Bow. Where did I see that Silver Lynel? I can't remember, but I'm not hunting it all across the map hoping for the vague ping of my Purah Pad sensor when I'm already on top of one. Should I be making my own notes as well?

The log is a great idea, but there's lots of stuff it doesn't capture. The quest descriptions often aren't sufficient and markers are often the person that started the quest. Great(!)

I appreciate the subtitles, but why is so much of the game unvoiced?

Not a concern for me as I'm playing on PC, but why no button mapping?

Even with internal FSR and AA disabled so it doesn't occasionally dip to smeared potato quality, it can be hard to spot things if you don't know explicitly where to look, even for hawkish eyesight. The Ultrahand glow can help, but it's a rubbish solution.

No colour blind settings. WTAF.

There are so many missed opportunities to make this amazing game vastly more accessible. Nintendo has made it clear they don't care about accessibility. It's a real shame, because accessibility makes things better for everyone.
Ritalin! That's interesting.

I have a family member (by marriage, I didn't know her when she was young) who sounds an awful lot like your description. Unfortunately for her getting her "misdiagnosis" "corrected" (her words) seems to have made things a lot worse, at least for family members dealing with her. Splitting behavior doesn't help matters at all. This stuff is so complicated and so hard that we really barely have any handle on any of it. It's important to remember that diagnoses are just words; the map is not, is never, the territory.

But I'd never heard of Ritalin as an option here, so thanks for bringing it up. I'll mention it to that side should it be appropriate....

(Tangent: I need a family with better general mental health, myself included. Anyone know where I can get one? Do they sell them at Amazon or do I have to risk AliExpress?)

I have a bunch of them and the 60/40 blend doesn't seem to shrink or they are preshrunk. That said, I would dry them on a medium temp setting just for longevity.
For an opposing viewpoint: I don't want HN to become the place where corporate comms comes to bullshit us. I want engineers who work there to talk to us as peers, which seems like what's happening here. I get candor and humility (and playfulness, sure) from Fly's tone, which I appreciate.

I get stuff like this is frustrating. But I bet Fly staff are pretty frustrated too.
Yes, and Ashley Rindsberg covers the science-writer / sci-journo divide well, a divide which I was not hip to prior:

"The deeper phenomenon at work, however, is that in the U.S. a large number of professionals who cover science for general readers and for news publications like The New York Times or The Wall Street Journal are not—and do not pretend to be—journalists per se. They are science writers whose field is science communications—a distinction with a huge difference. They see their role as translating the lofty work of pure science for a general audience, rather than as professional skeptics whose job is to investigate the competing interests, claims, and billion-dollar funding streams in the messy world of all-too-human scientists."

The chip shortage lasted longer than you'd expect because everyone from end users to intermediaries has been hoarding them.

It's like the covid toilet paper shortage, even if you keep producing a thing at the same rate, stockpiling creates shortages which stimulate even more stockpiling.

When that eventually reverses, expect a temporary glut.

Yeah, taxes are really high but that's not relevant in this case. The actual costs are just way lower.

US healthcare costs are too high in the US because of the broken insurance system.
I don't think it needs to become a public system like Europe. I don't see anything inherently wrong with private insurance. But the system needs a reset, back to normal prices.

One of the reason costs are too high is because hospitals, doctors, labs, know that insurance will haggle down so they just overcharge a lot. That's how you end up with an ER band-aid costing $ 500.

What specifically do you think AGPL runs afoul of in the open source definition?

I do see a paradox of saying you're free to do what you want with software and then adding responsibilities as GPL does, but as far as being open source, you are free under AGPL to use it for any purpose, modify in any way, etc, you just have to share what you do under the same license, so I don't see why it wouldn't qualify.
She was caught in a perpetual negative feedback loop. It wholly formed her worldview and she was dependent on it for functionality.

She couldn't progress by setting any of it aside because it could never be enough to improve her perspective. And whatever space she created would be quickly overwhelmed by the adjacent bad perspectives.

Progress needs trust (in the process) and trust needs progress. She couldn't generate enough of either.
The beauty of Diablo is the RNG dungeons and overall feeling of character progression. Souls games are effectively a static level layout with enemies respawning in the exact same place, however it gives the feeling of overcoming hard challenges (more or less by design). So yes it is "anti-souls" but it's because it attempts to deliver a unique experience with every playthrough, although I agree that this has been lost in the ARPG genre in favor of formulaic quests and slot machine mechanics since Diablo 3.

> This is more of the rather tired "contrarians are always right" meme that seems to crop up constantly on HN.

No, it isn't. I literally did not say that, I didn't mean that, I don't believe that, and trying to spin it that way is a tortured way of reading the very sentence you quoted.

Contrarians don't have to be right to require a voice for the system to work.

> Not all contrarians need a "voice". It's not worth anyone's time to rebut yet another unfounded and stupid perpetual motion theorem or electric universe bullshit.

The point is, you aren't smart enough to know the difference. Nobody is. The way I know that science is working is because I can see the all the disagreements and judge for myself. Efficiency isn't the goal.

But since you're concerned, I spend exactly zero percent of time time worrying about perpetual motion or electric universes. Even if I did spend time on this, that's my choice, and who are you to tell me otherwise?

Folks who want to protect "my time" from "unfounded theories" are rarely as interested in in my time as they are about censoring things they don't like.

No, method syntax is just syntax. In some languages methods are more than just syntax sugar, but there's nothing special about the syntax itself.
Fly is soooo easy to use and very very easy to go back to. We went back three times, each ended with multi-hour sev0s w/ horrible status updates. Last outage occurred during our YC interview... now we're on AWS.
Yes additionally journalists are a sort of priestly caste in our secular society.

I'm personally not a fan as there's a lot of self-anointed representation by journos: "We're the voice of the people!" No you are not my voice! You are not elected! You are the voice of advertisers, your business and your political interests!
> and because they are supported by more billionaires. No other reason.

If we take the 2022 House races, republican's House PAC received $79 million from 42 billionaires or their spouses, while democrat's House PAC received only $20 million from 17 billionaires or their spouses.

The numbers might play a little differently if you look at all donations to party affiliated PACs and individual campaigns but it doesn't seem like it reverses the overall trend.

Likewise! I appreciate how the developers set sensible defaults and a descent package selection for general productivity within the installer defaults but I have often found myself building many packages from scratch from scripts on SlackBuilds.org. It forces me to learn while not loosing too much productivity compiling everything from scratch - though I hope to try to set up LFS one of these days!
In the end that can be said about almost any app.

I for one like installing and using native apps of services I use often. But if you prefer to do everything in the browser that's fine as well.

The top domain for almost every result in my niche is a shitty wordpress with centered text on a purple background. It makes about $10-15k a month even with its lackluster content. It's had spyware ads and porn ads. Still #1 for every query.

We were in the same situation as you with our startup. Heroku was killing us. Just bite bullet and go to AWS. It's not bad at all.

I did hit a snag with RDS - but found a helpful consultant who helped me for a few hours. He made good money and now we have a guy who can jump in and provide a direction when things get too complicated.

Costs are down dramatically and we are SOC 2 certified now. No regrets.
I have some very happy pitcher plants in the window over my sink for just this reason. I've been meaning to pick up some Triantha occidentalis as well, a newly discovered carnivorous plant. Well the plant is not newly discovered, but it took doping fruit flies with N-15 and monitoring nutrient uptake to prove that it is metabolizing insects.

Journalists have always been best at reporting the facts given to them, even without understanding intent and all the other nuance surrounding those facts. So we as readers should never take what you read at 100%. I don't think that will ever change.

Responsive designs got hot during that time (2010) and it made me shut down the project. But I still believe this is the way to go to build websites in the near future.
Yeah, the headline is very different from the article. The article isn’t arguing that BPD doesn’t exist and that the patients are faking it or something, it’s arguing that the current classification system is wrong.

Yes this. Additionally (1) has no "higher caste" mentality. Whereas (2) often believe themselves to be the anointed truth-sayers of a secular world. Generally speaking they don't live up to that promise.
And even proprietary software used in programming web servers rarely ever attempts to charge a "per user" fee or six figures for a mildly popular app to use.

> Your idea of being an expert because you majored in a related topic is amusingly misinformed as well. You are kidding yourself.

Never claimed to be an expert. I'm also not "grotesquely misinformed", unless the bar for "merely misinformed, but not grotesquely" is so high that at least 99% of people are "grotesquely misinformed" (which... IDK, maybe, in that case, I guess?). Not an expert, though, and, didn't claim to be.

I have no idea why people are taking any of what I've written as "voting for President is bad and you shouldn't do it". I must not have written clearly, yet cannot find what's drawing that reaction anywhere in my posts (but maybe it's there and I'm just not seeing it!). I think I've just written about the best use of limited time & attention: smaller, and earlier in the process, is most effective; and how voter behavior instead reflects polar opposite priorities. Everyone voting in every election would, of course, be ideal (I mean, for me, just certain folks voting in every election would be ideal, but you get what I mean).

> In small, local elections, your vote has a more transparent relationship to outcomes. But those outcomes tend to be inconsequential.

I'm going to be blunter than I usually am on HN, because you're in dangerously-wrong territory and I'd hate for anyone to run with this outside of HN, for making decisions about voting or political participation: this is super fucking wrong. Local election & initiative outcomes matter a ton.

I would encourage anyone who doesn't find themselves seeing, very clearly, why, after a few moments' though, to spend some time over a few days looking at national headlines—not just the one or two top ones, but a bunch each day—and marking down which levels of government are active in or generating each story (yeah, I know, I advised mostly avoiding the news in favor of books, but this is a decent way to do some informal statistical analysis). And that's just what makes national news! Consider which levels of government you interact with most. Which police patrol cruisers do you see most—the FBI? State bureau? Highway patrol? Probably not any of those, and I bet that was an ascending list least- to most-seen (while omitting the ones probably see more than any of those, by a large margin—city & sheriff, say?). School budgets and hiring administrators. Which levels of government are banning books? Very-local, or sometimes state. Who's setting library funding, running the closest 20 parks to where you live, hiring the government officials and setting their policies? Zoning rules? Who's running your utilities, or responsible for collecting your trash? There's so much and it very much matters.

I noticed the same thing with Zelda. The marketability of game FAQs was realised up to a decade ago, but AI content generators, optimised by time-honoured SEO, has evidently accelerated the time to market for new platforms.

2015: Pharmacotherapy for borderline personality disorder--current evidence and recent trends

> Abstract

> Drug treatment of patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) is common but mostly not supported by evidence from high-quality research. This review summarises the current evidence up to August 2014 and also aims to identify research trends in terms of ongoing randomised controlled trials (RCTs) as well as research gaps. There is some evidence for beneficial effects by second-generation antipsychotics, mood stabilisers and omega-3 fatty acids, while the overall evidence base is still unsatisfying. The dominating role SSRI antidepressants usually play within the medical treatment of BPD patients is neither reflected nor supported by corresponding evidence. Any drug treatment of BPD patients should be planned and regularly evaluated against this background of evidence. Research trends indicate increasing attention to alternative treatments such as dietary supplementation by omega-3 fatty acids or oxytocin.

2021: Pharmacological Treatments for Borderline Personality Disorder: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

> Results

> Of 12,062 unique records, we included 21 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with data on 1768 participants. Nineteen RCTs compared pharmacotherapies with placebo; two RCTs assessed active treatments head-to-head. Out of 87 medications in use in clinical practice, we found studies on just nine. Overall, the evidence indicates that the efficacy of pharmacotherapies for the treatment of BPD is limited. Second-generation antipsychotics, anticonvulsants, and antidepressants were not able to consistently reduce the severity of BPD. Low-certainty evidence indicates that anticonvulsants can improve specific symptoms associated with BPD such as anger, aggression, and affective lability but the evidence is mostly limited to single studies. Second-generation antipsychotics had little effect on the severity of specific BPD symptoms, but they improved general psychiatric symptoms in patients with BPD.

> Conclusions

> Despite the common use of pharmacotherapies for patients with BPD, the available evidence does not support the efficacy of pharmacotherapies alone to reduce the severity of BPD.

Yes! And that's what is so interesting about all this (in a very morbid way): it's not as if we didn't know, and it's not as if we do not know. But nothing changes. Massive storms? Check. Maybe not quite at the level alluded to but we're getting there Wildfires out of control? Check. Depending on where you live already too much to deal with, migration is your only option. If you're lucky you can still ignore this one. For now. Global diseases? Check. And that won't stop as habitats dwindle further. But electric cars will surely save us...
I find that's a bit too handwavy.

Why would you redefine something as fundamental as a fact, that's quite different from an opinion, as "the opinion that a group enforces"?

The repercussions if you violate those opinions might have factual consequences for you, but that makes the basis for all this not more factual.
Sure, I'm saying the language could aspire to implement full stack traces automatically for tests, rather than requiring passing it for all assertions. Having to keep writing the same thing over and over is just boilerplate and a distraction. There's no reason the language itself couldn't implement some built-in support for such functionality along with the testing module, given that they control the full ecosystem.
Definitions are determined by actual usage. If people call Llama 2’s license open source then ipso facto it’s open source.
I have that. It sucks.

It’s another thing to charge, another thing to lose, and so on. Also it isn’t connected to the laptop so when you open the laptop you also have to turn it on, wait for it to connect, and so on. Then you have to turn it off when not using it or the battery will die.

Also it doesn’t actually do the thing I mentioned at all, which is serve as a graceful backup to whatever Wi-Fi the laptop is connected to.

As a user experience it’s awful.

And it’s such a common user experience. Like how many people are traveling and working from wherever on their MacBooks these days. It really is inexplicable.
If we assume simplicity/safety trumps other considerations for a solution rolled out just before the year’s biggest release, “emulator” is probably correct and “emulates look and feel” is a spokesperson mischaracterization.
