I know phpbb isn't fashionable these days but if you set it up correctly it can be an amazingly useful tool.

I know a guy who uses a private, single-user install of phpbb as his project management software. He's got all the bells and whistles enabled like file uploads, media embeds, and markdown rather than bbcode. One subforum/top-level category per project, and different threads tracking bugs, documentation, etc. Of course since it's phpbb it's available everywhere you have internet, and it's responsive/mobile friendly, etc.

Definitely unorthodox considering github projects and redmine exist, but still really neat stuff. If only phpbb had a kanban board.
Well, that's certainly what they mean when the government talks about 'the rich' as a pejorative. You only need to look at SS tax limits, phase outs for tax-advantaged savings plans, and income exclusions for subsidies like the recent energy efficiency one to realize any household making over around $150K is considered rich.

Of course, this makes sense. The vast majority of the tax revenue comes from the upper-middle/upper class. There just aren't enough of the upper-upper class (1%) to pay the bills. I'd wager almost everyone on HN in the US falls squarely in the range considered to be the group that needs to be squeezed.
Indeed. Codeine was even available over the counter in the US until the mid 1960s. But of course it was also addictive, so now it's prescription-only.

Oh Cool! I used to work with the creator of this project and have them as a friend on Steam. It's incredible the amount of time that they spend working on this game. It's been super cool to see polished that this game has become over time. Definitely worth checking out.
"Secure by default" means something. It means Deno is a more appropriate choice for running untrusted code compared to node.
1) Remember, with Republican accusations, it's ALWAYS projection. Yes, ALWAYS.

2) Per the guidelines: "On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity."
So I don't think I have a strong stance on the merits or drawbacks of whitespace-significant languages versus those that use parentheses (or any other syntax choices). But, I'm curious if there are any compelling arguments that objectively demonstrate why one approach might be superior to the other or if there are at least some persuasive reasons to favor one over the other. Genuinely curious!
> My peasant ancestors were eating meat every day 500 years ago. You can find different groups of people all over the world that are documented eating absurdly meat-heavy diets historically.

That can't be true, unless your ancestors have always been exceedingly wealthy. Most people's food subsisted on things you would go outside of your house and forage/barter for. Vegetables, grains, mushrooms, pulses and maybe some small game here and there.

Pound for pound, the amount of meat eaten was substantially low, since what farmer could afford to sacrifice their larger livestock on a daily basis, as well as keep the carcass for potential customers in a time without refridgegeration.

In the country where my parents grew up, this was their way of life. Small game you would eat maybe once a month, and a livestock would be sacrificed at the end of the year as a treat.
I know you can get a rough estimate through the marketplace apps, but as a non game-dev, are you signing the rights of discovery on your company financials at any time? If you’re on the threshold, how do they determine to start charging or not unless they have access to your books?
How can you possibly claim that "nobody quit working during the 50s-86 out of principle"? Lots of people retired early during that time (like any other time) and you don't know what all of their motives were.
I just booked a (domestic US) trip where one ticket was $79 and the other was $19. Round trip it is $98. It's a three day trip.

I can get a backpack for free if it is 14x18x8. Otherwise, these low cost airlines want to charge you for a carry-on. That makes taking any change of clothing difficult. And, the bag charges are about $60 each way for a carry-on. That would over double the cost of my trip!

I'm thinking why not:

1) buy underwear and socks and even a shirt or two when I arrive, and just throw it away when I'm done. It's certainly less than $120. Could I wear the same pants for three days, sure!

2) I could stuff a few pairs of socks and underwear into a fanny pack. I bet I can get that on without fighting with that poor agent.

3) I could go to the airport with two bags, one which is a canvas bag that fits inside my backpack that has two changes of clothing. Before I board, I empty all the stuff out, and walk on the plane with three layers. They better not call me fat or I'll sue! Then, once I board, I go to the bathroom, go back to my seat with that bag refilled.

Its dystopian but kind of fun.

This basically allows legislators to force anything into the public domain by simply referencing it in a law.

I'd rather see legislators forced to negotiate with copyright holders to make their works public domain, or else have their laws become invalid and thrown out, and have their governments subject to lawsuits for trying to enforce copyrighted laws.

An August 2022 Gallup poll showed that US approval of labor unions was at its highest point since 1965 (71%, up from 48% in ~2010; comparable to levels of 70-75% in the 1940s-60s). [1]

That’s far from a unique value prop for self-checkout lanes. It’s also a hard sell at stores that have or had ~8+ lanes but only two are open… sure, the self checkout is the only solution to long lines… that happens frequently here and in many cases, lines get equally long for self checkout.
The best and most helpful thing you could actually do would be to unionize, yourself, and engage in illegal sympathy strikes.

Hey don't pin this on me it's not my assertion.

Go argue with the scientists who state pretty much what i just said verbatim including full links with proofs in http://prize.hutter1.net/hfaq.htm#ai :)

>One can prove that the better you can compress, the better you can predict; and being able to predict [the environment] well is key for being able to act well. Consider the sequence of 1000 digits "14159...[990 more digits]...01989". If it looks random to you, you can neither compress it nor can you predict the 1001st digit. If you realize that they are the first 1000 digits of π, you can compress the sequence and predict the next digit. While the program computing the digits of π is an example of a one-part self-extracting archive, the impressive Minimum Description Length (MDL) principle is a two-part coding scheme akin to a (parameterized) decompressor plus a compressed archive. If M is a probabilistic model of the data X, then the data can be compressed (to an archive of) length log(1/P(X|M)) via arithmetic coding, where P(X|M) is the probability of X under M. The decompressor must know M, hence has length L(M). One can show that the model M that minimizes the total length L(M)+log(1/P(X|M)) leads to best predictions of future data. For instance, the quality of natural language models is typically judged by its Perplexity, which is equivalent to code length. Finally, sequential decision theory tells you how to exploit such models M for optimal rational actions. Indeed, integrating compression (=prediction) into sequential decision theory (=stochastic planning) can serve as the theoretical foundations of super-intelligence (brief introduction, comprehensive introduction, full treatment with proofs.
It is all bad because now all the images are async content too.
Ka-band is still very high for the Direct RF sampling transceivers, if Amazon's claim is true then it's mighty impressive.

$2.4 billion is a lot of money to spent on antenna design and development, and if they don't have separate modem that explains the astronomical cost due to down/up conversion and perhaps most of the beam steering signal processing are done inside the antenna systems.

If the Starlink antenna has any patent applications, it will be very interesting to see their architecture. I think Direct RF sampling transceivers can make for much cheaper Starlink at least in the Ku-band antenna if their price are becoming cheaper themselves.

Based on this thesis (2021) that proposed a lower cost antenna systems for mobile terminals, Starlink has separate TX-Rx architecture that make their antenna system rather expensive [1].

"The limited operational bandwidth of the radiating elements integrated in their low-profile alternatives (i.e. slotted waveguide antenna arrays) actually obliges to split transmission (Tx) and reception (Rx) in two different panels, keeping a relatively high cost for the end-users."

There's a Reddit discussion on the ST developed antenna systems from 3 years ago [2].

There's also a teardown video of the Starlink antenna systems by Kenneth Keiter [3].

They aren't going to see behind the TLS curtain, but they would see (assuming no DNS encryption) a domain name lookup followed by various traffic patterns; either:

Bursts (page loads) with near silence in between, maybe just some non-human-triggered traffic from scripts that poll.

Bursts (page loads) with quite a bit more of a human-triggered cadence in between, if lazy loading during scrolling occurs.

But mouse-tracking analytics probably result in a similar leak, if not better.
This is an edge case, but free (or almost free) games are given away on Humble Bundle. Some people may also believe that the game has earned its money, so they do not want to charge for it. A fee will be charged in such a case because the game once brought a profit. Some classics today are even open-source.

Yes.

And we are switching to Unreal. The price is not why we were using Unity in the first place. I don't like Blueprints and I don't like C++. Verse looks like it's going to be super weird.

Unity is more versatile, smaller, easier to use. Faster to iterate.

I've worked with both engines for many years, on the Bioshock games in Unreal and Void Bastards in Unity.

But Unity has shown time and time again that they have no respect for us, so we really can't continue to do business with them.
> You're not being told "no". You can just go buy some Sudafed right now if you want to.

You effectively are in many cases, just as predicted by most when these laws were put into place.

First, it became far less of a relatively benign "after the fact" logbook as it was when first implemented. It is now networked and real-time. Many chain stores implement their own interpretation of what they feel a rate limit should be. This tends to err drastically on the side of conservative, and might look back much further than you assume.

Second, it's added risk - many independents simply don't want to bother with such a risk, and thus don't bother stocking it. It also adds handling costs.

And third and most importantly - it completely and irrevocably ruined the supply chain. It is now legitimately difficult to find it in stock reliably - and if you run out of it at 2am, it's no longer just a minor inconvenience to run to literally any convenience store.

Most stores simply no longer carry it, and only a handful of 24 hour pharmacy options exist compared to 20 years ago. Those pharmacies also have consistent supply issues, so you better not have strong brand or dosing preference.

Prices went up, and availability plummeted. It's out of stock roughly a third of the time I've needed to go run out to get some, and is no longer just an afterthought item to stock up on at Costco. Typically you're settling on buying the smallest boxes they make since all other sizes are out of stock, and paying even more per dose.

And it absolutely is a slippery slope. Loperamide has now met the same fate in many states, and has become multiples of the expense it used to be and a very much pain in the butt to get. No more qty 120 bottles from Costco at 2 cents a pill - entire market killed because people got used to this new norm.

It's just one more chip away at the American quality of life. Not a huge one, but one that adds expense and friction for what amounts to a questionable amount of gain.

Edit: That is all to say - it's far more than "just a rate limit". Ruining the OTC market for cold medication might be worth it, but that's more or less what happened here. It wasn't like the top 5% of buyers got scraped off the top and sent to jail and everyone else carried on per usual. The cold aisle of your local supermarket took a giant step backwards from 20 years ago in price, availability, convenience, and effectiveness. That was the cost of these creeping regulations. Some may even say the chilling effect was the entire point.
the problem is some employees of these organisations dont think like that
i don't have any devices that require 40Gbit, so i can't speak to that. but in my experience, buying the cheapest cable off amazon will reliably give me 20gbit, and will charge all my devices at full speed (i don't know if it's PD2 or 3.0 or 3.1, but i do know that devices pull more power from my 100W charger than my 60W charger)

in practice, in my daily life, all USB C cables work the same. a couple years ago i got one bundled with a device that didn't support some feature, and so i put it in the garbage. problem solved. since then, all my cables work all the time in whatever device i plug them into.
10 years ago everyone believed Blender would become the new Unity, but it didn't, it's too difficult to make games with Blender, no one even mentions the idea or recommends it anymore, although its 3D editor is highly used and improved during the years. For Godot to become the favorite indie game engine they must focus on making its workflow straightfoward and simple. On the tech aspect Godot seems like Unity 5.

This is a commonly (mis)-used argument, that misses the fact that if the statistics tell us the risk is less than some value (lets say 10^-6), the assumption is that the risk is 10^-6. Often, statistical tests have the power to detect very rare effects, but not effects that are even rarer. So less than 10^-6 does not mean the risk is one in a million, it means we do not know how low the risk is (could be 10^-23), but we know that it is no higher than 10^-6.
Not just a cost increase but threats of strike and having to work with the union instead of hiring directly.
10 years ago Unity wasn’t trying to shoot every developer that uses them in every organ that matters.

That’s changed. Unity won’t be able to last this because it’s impossible to make the economics of it work. So even if the alternatives aren’t as good, people are going to have to use it. It’s not really optional.
> Your comment is not considering that these governments are more likely to target politicians and journalists which are more likely to use iPhone regardless of where they are located.

Are you sure that's true? In my experience governments often choose Android because they prefer the platform's organization-wide device management options over iOS. Many dissidents/journalists choose Android because it's easily rootable, giving them more privacy and control (I have a very small sample of the latter, however)
$300k in 401k alone puts you in the upper class of Americans. In 2020, median household (note, not individual) net worth in the United States was $121,411. This includes home equity.

$1,000,000 in assets is the 88th percentile, far above "middle class." I'm privileged to do very well for myself, I'm an expert in a very well paying field (far more than my siblings even though they have masters and doctorates), and I do not know any millionaires.

These numbers also become significantly worse when filtered to anyone born after 1980.
Kingdom Hearts 3, Hellblade, Gears, FF7R, Borderlands, Sea of Thieves, Fallen Order, and countless others all use Unreal, in all likelihood made over a million dollars, and many made sequels using Unreal as well. Its also absolutely necessary to clarify that Unreal's revenue share is 5% over $1M, not 15% (and, weirdly; its 5% over $5M for games distributed on the Oculus Store, believe it or not).
The decision here is completely on the hands of the user agent, use a browser that let's you disable lazy loading.
Instead of all the complexity and code and branch predication, how about just send the page and the images? If lazy loading is super important, the browser can lazy load and render off screen. Don't make thousands of solutions for thousands of platforms on the server side.

>No matter what the form of government, lots of *Americans* will object very strongly if the solution to climate change is not having central heating, cars, hot water, or beef for dinner.

FTFY. Countless people outside the US get along just fine without cars, central heating, and the entire 1B+ nation of India is fine without beef for dinner.
It is interesting that the Great Filter Theory usually concerns itself with issues such as nuclear weapons, or disease, but not the failure to overcome greed and self-interest, which, let's face it, is how the modern world is structured.
We're approaching our Pointillism phase, where making photorealistic art just isn't an accomplishment in itself anymore. This will only get more true as scanned resources get easier to use, and the AI generative tools have an increasingly good handle on photorealism/rigging/anim cycles/etc. So what, it looks real. So what. The art's the thing. How does it make people feel, think, dream? Hnnh. This was sentimental. Anyway, just me talking out loud as a Blender hobbyist since 1998 or so - never did it for money, so what do I know?

It’s a marketplace. If employees aren’t taking advantage of employers when expecting more pay then employers aren’t taking advantage of employees when expecting less pay.

I’m neutral on unions too.

Labor unions for laborers make sense. The single industrial plant that employs every dad in our town shouldn’t have that much power over our lives.

Unions for laptop jockeys who can work in any city in the country or even other countries? If you don’t like your conditions go get different conditions elsewhere.
