It was a game to see who would last the longest. Each room had someone the age of the room number (so 1 year old, to 100 year old). There were a series of votes and challenges using a hardware three button box (geerling worked on this). They also had synced lighting in each of the boxes.

The problem came down to a few issues with using exposed boards, lose cables, grounding, and other issues common to most people working on these kinds of projects.

Jeff Geerling commonly makes videos and content around software engineering and the same kinds of hardware you'd see here. He's authored at least one book on Ansible and maybe more.
Ask HN: Puzzle Community/Insights?
Kind of a weird request but this is the place to ask. Has anyone seen recent trends or have an insight into puzzles, game mechanics, type of people who love advanced puzzles/games, etc? Looking for resources as creative/inspirational input for product and marketing development
Of course you then have to be willing to turn down money/customers. As someone who has worked for quite large traditional companies, we've ended up not buying from certain companies because they couldn't invoice us like we wanted to be invoiced.
There is ton of nuance in the physics but "trigger on first and wait" is objectively fastest response way to do it.

Only reason to do it other way is if you have some limitations. Like timer being costly on resources (valid concern for microcontroller)

> Too many people find a solution that fits the bare minimum requirement and move on, leading to years of frustration from the end users. Spend a little more time using the thing like an end user would, and you can solve that issue much better, usually.

A little time won't give you much. Those are kind of problems where you need to be using it daily in anger to find the issues.

Like the buttons on elevator where I live. I press the button, it lights up, I do it few more times, debounce works fine!

Another day I'm in hurry, press it quickly, does not work. Turns out someone picked the worst way to debounce (wait till it is ON for that amount of ms), and on top of that tied LED to button itself so you see the light flash but button does not turn on). So you can't just tap it quickly, and you can't risk tapping it more than once because that would cancel the floor request
In Modernist Cuisine, Myrvhold et al advocate for a sous vide chili oil. Roast the chilis and other ingredients at about 250 in the oven, then sous vide at 158. Never made it myself, and it's not intended to be authentic Chinese chili oil. They also mention using a pressure cooker instead, which seems reasonable.

No matter the answer I imagine your cost/hour is pretty darn low if you're anything like the rest of us. When that denominator is high the ratio is always going to be low!
The author noted that this approach might be workable for a "real" game with smaller textures -- the biggest levels of detail for textures in the demo are 1024x1024. (And, I don't think the author mentioned this explicitly, but the demo is running in hires mode which could be dropped for a game)

His approach might be feasible with smaller textures and still represent a visual upgrade over the typical N64 "blurry mess"
This sounds like a completely unrelated thing and you are not constrained by the plain text password/shadow file for scale. NIS existed for many decades. You can even use Active Directory (or samba) for authentication and user management.

But the article is not about this at all.
I agree. If the population falls, it is likely that consumption falls and we enter into a "degrowth" phase. We can look to Japan for what this heralds - flat or falling GDP, abandonment of less desirable cities, etc.
"Remote control of jet" comes with fairly obvious adversarial risks the military likely wishes to avoid.
Interestingly, fastmail just flipped to having an external billing system after years of maintaining their own. AND when they bought POBOX they got that whole billing stack as well. I can imagine the nightmare but also the relief after exporting all of that work to another company.

> Zig is so revolutionary in its design that it's hard to compare it to anything else.

I mean, Zig has an interesting combination of functionality, but I wouldn't say that the individual pieces are revolutionary. Who knows though, the whole could be more revolutionary than the sum of it's parts...
I used Mathematica a lot in my PhD. I never really understood this syntax, using a second layer of braces to separate the primitives would have made more sense to me. Many other parts of the Wolfram language I found to be intuitive and well designed.

This comes back to the original question, why compile javascript to glsl? I don't think you ever answered that. There are severe limitations in shading languages that javascript doesn't have and shading languages are made to deal with. Where is the benefit?
Guess it's because Yandex gets most of its ad revenue from searches in Russian. Search results for English queries are not so ad-cluttered. For searches in Russian language, Google is still better (shows less ads per page), but tends to prefer .ua websites. I guess their ML predicts European IP + Russian language as a proxy for someone from Ukraine now, which is pretty logical.
As a military brat who doesn't really have a hometown, or even a clear regional identity, I like that this system lets you choose a town to donate to without forcing it to be connected to your birthplace or life history.

It'd be nice to be able to earmark it to particular government functions, maybe even charities in the area, etc.
Eventually the Overton window shifts backwards. We've seen it with beer, movies, and other things. You push and push so much and then act surprised when there's a massive backlash — again regardless of merit?
You can read the blog post mentioned in Jeff Geerling’s comment in this thread. It does a nice job of detailing the problem and his solution w/o needing to watch the video (which he does recommend, but I found the blog post to be an enjoyable read anyway).

There is no remote control of manned tactical aircraft. That was never a requirement.

The jet may have been transmitting it's position via civilian ADS-B or military data link. But those systems could have been switched off, or malfunctioned during the mishap.
Curiously, rural regions of the US have a fair amount of power due to how electoral seats are distributed. I'm not sure if this is also true in Canada, so it is possible that the GP's situation differs from your own experiences.
I think it's because there would be an uproar :-) Don't forget the UK is much smaller than the US - over there you can travel a landmass half the size of the whole of Europe and that law wouldn't bite you.

The equivalent law in the UK would mean that if you just moved 60 miles from the UK to France you'd have to pay tax twice. Much more limiting.

Edit: two people have now told me that you get an IRS tax credit for foreign tax payments. I stand corrected - never knew that!

Thank you for the translation. The report is wrong about Telegram's privacy statement though. The current privacy statement at https://telegram.org/privacy says "If Telegram receives a court order that confirms you're a terror suspect, we may disclose your IP address and phone number to the relevant authorities." However, in the next sentence it also claims "So far, this has never happened", which is clearly wrong and has been since at least 2022 (see my remark on the situation in Germany above). It then goes on to say "When it does [happen], we will include it in a semiannual transparency report published at: https://t.me/transparency." Maybe someone using Telegram could check out whether they published at least the German cases there, since those happened over a year ago.
Somewhat yes. See "LoRA": https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.09685

They're not composable in the sense that you can take these adaptation layers and arbitrarily combine them, but training different models while sharing a common base of weights is a solved problem.
Having EULAs and many types of contract be code would be a huge upgrade.

For one, it'd make them a lot shorter. You could use inheritance or composition to refactor out repetitive boilerplate, which is 90% of what EULAs are. The thing you see would only be the places where it deviates from a base EULA that you could study once.

For another, it would catch bugs automatically. I have caught bugs in contracts drafted by lawyers a bunch of times, just by reading them carefully. For example numbers that are stated in both words and digits but they don't match. References to clauses that no longer exist. Statements that are contradictory.

A properly written language could be compiled to English for people who for some reason can't read the "real" language. But a well written PL for law would be quite readable.

It's a real problem if you build on a VPS as your base. I was asked to prep such a system for scale on AWS and choked on the pricing. So we settled for what they offer at reasonable pricing and if further growth is needed, will need to hit eject on AWS and just go elsewhere.

I recommend starting elsewhere and save the migration of you just use EC2.

Most places will let you scale a VPS quite well and there is a logical handoff to your own hardware where you can scale to a system with 512 vCPU and TBs of ram for less than Amazon is charging for step two.

> Rust’s type system ended up being Turing-complete anyway. It seems like it fell into the same trap as C++ templates: it’s an accidental programming language in a programming language, but with way worse syntax.

Most anything in software can easily end up Turing-complete though. It isn't that high of a bar unfortunately. I think most mature type and template systems end up as Turing-complete. To single out Rust for this is to ignore that this is just standard fare for mature typing systems.

TypeScript's types are Turing complete: https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/14833

Yup, the Chinese government doesn't really care about infringement unless the IP is Chinese itself and being infringed upon by non-Chinese companies.

I still remember the agency I worked for getting in an industrial designer to create some beautiful cases for some iBeacon hardware we were building. They looked great.

We organise a Chinese company to do the injection moulding and are sent samples that look pretty good, so we decide to use them. Few weeks later we see OUR cases on Alibaba/Aliexpress.

The West/other countries aren't perfect either, but that's not what we're talking about here. _Everyone_ I know who has worked with Chinese manufacturing/businesses has a "they ripped us off" "they sold our hard work to someone else" "they provided lower grade x than was agreed".

And the counterarguments always come down to: "yeah but the West does X" or "you're just being racist".

Chinese companies, especially the ones that do business on Ali-X _LOVE_ this as they can get the IP and use it for $0 and then undercut the original producer of the equipment. Plenty of makers find that their designs on Tindie etc are ripped off and appear on Ali, too.

Now, no one bats an eye if you ship the most secure crypto you want.

To me, there are only two plausible explanations for the change:

1. The three letter agencies gave up on backdooring cryptography.

2. The three letter agencies successfully subverted the entire chain of trust.

Only one of them is consistent with a workforce consisting of highly motivated codebreaking professionals available working for many decades with virtually unlimited resources and minimal oversight.

The other is what people want to believe.

Exactly this. The only thing unmentioned, but that you should be aware of, is the effort to deploy this stack from scratch. You can assume the DB survives, or doesn't, but the ability to go from zero to a running deployment from a recent restore is probably the only thing you need to really worry about. If you can get that to be less than hour, or ideally a few minutes, then you're golden.

Don't be afraid to add CDN/Caching when its appropriate.

You can always buy a beefier instance, or a dedicated box.

Deal with the scale later when its truely needed. Give yourself permission, or plan to hire a team, to handle the scale issues later.

Population growth tends to drive economic growth (increasing both demand and capacity).

It's not the only driver of demand. For example, a substantial portion of the existing population would like to increase their consumption (literally billions of people).
Sorry let me rephrase,

It's like if I took an old version of photoshop and sold the pictures on patreon, but my patreon blew up and adobe decided they wanted a piece of the pie and changed their TOS, and made me take the jpg I made when I was under a DIFFERENT TOS down,remake the jpg in GIMP, or pay them for the privilege of keeping that picture up on the internet, and also any time that picture appears on imageboard I could also maybe be charged for it, but they totally have a way to tell if it was gotten from the imageboard or patreon trust them but they won't tell us how.

Unity has trapped game developers and held them hostage. Those devs made the game under one set of rules and pricing model, and now that the game is out they have a choice of destroying their product by removing it from availability, or pay money they had no way of predicting they would need? Just because you don't like the game devs doesn't mean Unity didn't fuck them over, and it sets a dangerous precedent.
I think this is a convenient side-effect of the implementation which was later turned into official behaviour. A bit like Python dictionary key ordering.

In Postgres you can do similar things with a DISTINCT ON query.

Weird question that I have that I'd love anyone who makes a Kagi account to trial after reading the parent comment to answer:

When you make your account, you're given the option to customize. When you do, you can pick things like color theme and how URLs are displayed. On the right hand side of the page there is a preview of what your Kagi searches will look like.

In my example, the demo Kagi search is Magic The Gathering. I play a lot of Magic The Gathering. I spend most of my time online searching for things related to MtG or brewing decks, second only to things related to software development.

I imagine it's coincidence. MtG is a pretty nerdy hobby and Kagi seems like a pretty nerdy product. However, it made me uncomfortable enough to ask:

Is that what it shows for everyone? Or is there some tracking going on already that is being demoed? It's almost certainly the former given the positioning of Kagi in the search market, but I'd like to be sure.

No, CPU and memory tests have very little overhead.
Probably due to a jurisdictional mess.

The article says the mountain was renamed by the US Board of Geographic Names (and possibly the Department of the Interior).

Wilderness Areas seem to be managed by some combination of the National Park Service, US Forest Service, Fish and Wildlife, and Bureau of Land Management; and might require congress to get involved to rename it (Congress creates them, unclear whether they have to be involved to rename them).

There's a whole mess of oddball things like this in Minnesota, which has been reverting a lot of things back to indigenous names. The weird conflicts are slowly getting sorted out.

Edit: Yeah, I think its Congress. It required a bill to rename the Olympic Wilderness to the Daniel J. Evans Wilderness in 2016 (different "Evans").

1/3rd is generous. Xitter hasn't been pushed into bankruptcy because the LBO lenders, among them Fidelity, who announced that 1/3rd valuation, don't want the task of cleaning up the mess.

There is very likely a financial mess behind the scenes: Elon has probably made personal loans to Xitter to make LBO loan payments. He has ride-along equity investors who do not want to be diluted, and bankers who don't want to own it, but could if they think Elon is going to violate loan covenants in ways that would get noticed by regulators.
