Somehow, I feel like reading that article diminished the original critique, however, inefficient raycasts aren't some sort of pathological edge case.

Raycasts are the most commonly used spatial queries in a 3d game. Hopefully this discussion will lead towards this issue being resolved.

I actually found Sam Pruden's complaint a bit odd since it sounds like he's developing a 2d game. If you're spamming 1000s of raycasts per frame for your 2d game, there's probably something else going on...
Lucia – simple auth library that works alongside your database
I group cert-seekers together. I don't see motivation mattering. People who have time to 'prove' their knowledge/skill are really just showing that they aren't really into the thing, they are into being recognized as being into the thing.

The exceptions are certifications that are required by law.
The backlash at the time was that some felt it wasn't just bad defaults but intentional benchmark juicing. Old news now, though.
Huntington's is horrible.

You die like ALS when your lungs stop working. Before that, starting in your 40's to 60's you start getting symptoms of schizophrenia and Parkinson's, so loss of motor control and delusional thought processes. If you know you have it you'll eventually not be able to trust your own judgement.

My wife's grandma and uncle's died of it. Grandma was a lady I only met as someone who laid in bed with her eyes open but no movement or indication she saw you. She did still like applesauce by the end. We didn't know if she was there or just locked in.

One Uncle, before he was put in a home was living with his girlfriend.

Why are you sitting at the window?
George is bringing me my money.
Who's George?
My old boss from 20 years ago.
You haven't seen him in years, does he know you've moved twice and now live above a store in a very small rural town?
Don't ask questions! He's coming to bring me my money today...

Huntington's is not what you want to get.

There's a family genetic mystery as to how Grandma only got the disease. August wedding and a December birth in the 1940's. Who was the real father?
People mention the no-aliasing, the compilers, the intrinsics, the libraries, and the expressivity but one aspect of the difference is ignored and it is this: C is a language for specifying behaviour of hardware (time sequence of detailed states), Fortran is a language for specifying computation of values. Fortran abstracts far more of the hardware than C and consequently, a Fortran compiler can benefit from quantum processors, mind-readers or time-machines, should they ever be invented.

A Fortran program that reads its input, calculates and finally writes out its output does not have to execute any particular instruction at all. As long as the answer is "AS IF" it had done the user-specified computation, the Fortran compiler has done its job. In between I/O, it submerges into the ineffable like a Cold War SSBN.

C is about the instruments, the players and the conductor, Fortran is about the music.

Im a veteran paid-up Docker Desktop for Mac user... and I instantly paid for Orbstack.dev as soon as it was released. It's so so much better than Docker Desktop For Mac. Literally no reason to use slow bulky docker desktop when orbstack exceeds every expectation, and instant support from the solo developer who has put so much effort into this (and is still a teenager Im lead to believe!)

Docker Desktop for Mac is not open source either.

Orbstack is better in every single way.
What’s a Steven Universe of Superman mean?

Animation style—eh, it changes, cartoons have been getting more stylized/less detailed since, like, the 80’s. It turns out characters don’t need a million belts and pockets to be compelling, haha.

Theme-wise, Steven Universe is pretty well received.
super interesting how it makes "decisions", but nice that they let you tie user feedback directly into LLM refinement, otherwise would be hard to make that info useful
There can be multiple parties responsible, the county looks like definitely responsible(or not, if it's not an infra where they are responsible to maintain?) but Google can be too.

Google Maps is not a free product at all, it's a commercial product provided for free as part of an ad business. It's free as the free soda with the hamburger.

> Companies will very successfully have their contracts enforced

Hetzner turned off all access to my paid server due to a false-positive on their netscan/DDOS (literally it was tailscaled doing a netcheck) protection and equally incompetent technical support staff.

Can I sue them for breach of contract and subsequent damages? I moved all my hosting off Hetzner as a result, but I'm still very disappointed in their actions.
From the docs it looks like they're fairly explicit with respecting env states for each dataset. I'm not sure how/where contamination would even occur to be honest - regardless of model used.
The bridge in question is about a mile from my house. I'm pretty sure the road it's on is not publicly maintained, as it's just a street within a neighborhood. And that's a neighborhood that doesn't have a HOA, so I don't know if anyone is actually legally responsible for maintaining the road or bridge.
How did it creep in without protest?

"Staff using the app have told the criminal justice campaign charity Fair Trials that they keep it secret from parents and carers, and admitted many would be concerned about it if they knew of it."

I worry that our school system is now made up of teachers and support staff who are still absurdly undervalued and trying really hard to give our kids a good education but then a whole layer of management above them who have lost the plot.
Unix Pioneer Brian Kernighan Still Loves Awk After All These Years
Philips confirms that Hue account will be needed on the bulb level
Upon the news, I asked their official account to verify this, they wrote:

Hi there, thanks for reaching out. We are sorry you feel this way and value your feedback. We will be sure to pass this along to the relevant department. However, we do want to mention that eventually, it will be essential to have a Hue account to control the Bridge and/or bulbs themselves.
Ah yes, Marcus Rashford.

Not having kids myself, I didn't realise that teachers were so involved in providing food. I'd definitely go along with delegating food provision to a different group other than teachers (dinner ladies?). I suppose my concern is tying together multiple data sources when it should not be necessary to look at police records when deciding to give out food vouchers.
These are my favorite threads on HN right now.

In the threads, most comments dismiss the value of creators' works in building the billion-dollar businesses developing these increasingly-powerful content laundering machines, based almost exclusively on content theft.

Simultaneously, we're 10 years away from a world where staff "software engineers" go the way of human computers¹, replaced by product and marketing folks and maybe a system architect.

To those commenters, I say: I hope y'all have a Plan B.

I haven't used Kakoune, but I've used emacs, Neovim, and Helix. I love the simplicity of Helix and how easy it is to get it up and running with language servers. Emacs and Neovim have amazing ecosystems, but I'm not willing to devote the time needed to keep my setup working and do the labor of installing and configuring so many plugins. I actually switched from emacs to a mix of VSCode and JetBrains IDEs (PyCharm, DataGrip) but I sometimes find myself copy-pasting blocks of text into emacs when I need to do anything fancy or repetitive. I used a Neovim integration for VSCode for a while but found it annoyingly buggy.

IDEs like VSCode and JetBrains seem to be in denial about coding being a text editing activity. Emacs and Neovim want you to take on a part-time job building and maintaining your own personal editor application out of a pile of spare parts. Helix to me is a very promising approach: a text editor that aspires to provide enough polished core features to be a productive coding environment.
Especially horrifying since that 30% supports twice the number of people it would in the US. If they lived like Floridians it'd be closer to 50%.

Yeah, but the point of terror is to make terror, that people are afraid. Not to actually damage much. A dirty bomb would be a perfect terror weapon as people are afraid of radiation and mostly would not trust government when they declare it is safe.

Newsweek must read on the matter:

https://www.newsweek.com/2014/03/14/face-behind-bitcoin-2479...

TL;DR: Satoshi Dorian Nakamoto, japonese imigrant in the US, is software engineer, worked both in financial and defense sector...

For the record, TOR network is the work of 2 defense sector contractors.

EDIT: TOR and Bitcoin are 2 technologies which work both in tandem and share some requirement as well as limitations.
As for requirement, they both are designed to provide at least of pretense of privacy. And that what they both advertised for.
And as for limitations, Bitcoin implentation doesn't make sense for wide adoption because it is extremely costly to operate and is so slow it cannot be adopted for day to day financial operations ; and TOR is also slow as hell and unreliable...

For spy and LE stuffs, creation of an anonymous(?) internet network and pseudo-anonymous payment network make sense. If you are of control of end points (like payment processors or online wallets or [ISP companies?]), they give both a sense of (false) security for bad actors, whoever they are for whatever they do, and allow allied organisations or individuals to funnel information and money to each other provided they have secured the endpoints they use themself.

Also for the record, China has banned both Crypto and TOR as well as Russia (except for 'international operations') at least 1 year ago.

Some might argue that creation of online drugs markets, the crazy rush in crypto space by dubious 'entrepreners' and the rise of private and state hacking actors are the proof that western governments agencies could not be involved in these technologies... But it could be simply they didn't anticipated neither of these devellopments. Let's call that externalities.
> Being able to continuously arbitrarily devalue them is the whole point of designing a rewards system with “miles” and “points” or whatever non official currency unit.

Which is exactly the point of creating the fiat money system in 1914. Have you noticed that the dollar has been continuously devalued ever since?

And no, it wasn't to "stabilize" the monetary system. That is just propaganda.
do you know that, or are you just guessing?
It's early Friday morning in Australia right now, and nowhere on Earth is it late Friday afternoon at the moment.
But the "apparent indiscriminate use" is all in your head (I'm glad you have an ordinary human head ;), and if teachers were contacting the safeguarding lead to try to establish who has criminal parents that wouldn't exactly be an unconscious bias anyway! There's plenty of opportunity for actual unconscious bias every time they look at a child or the child opens their mouth...

The database isn't "secret", the groups complaining about it found out because it's described in detail on the local authority website, the fact authorities keep records of stuff like absence from school and social worker contacts is universally known (most of the recent child victim scandals in the UK have been that various people noted of various possible signs of problems at various times but nobody had enough of a joined up view to actually act!) and the only bit teachers are going out of their way to not disclose is "I looked up Jonny's info because I'm not convinced that bruising is accidental".... for obvious reasons
I use an oldschool hand-crank grinder. Can someone recommend a powered one that isn't too expensive? The coffee types I typically make are: turkish, V60, and french press.

I can get pretty mad that it took so long for me to discover my schizotaxia although it is 100% clear in the psych eval I got in Kindergarten. This condition which is probably the most common neurodivergence and the root cause of much "ADHD", self-diagnosed "autism", "neurosis", anxiety disorders, etc.

It is practically erased from the clinical literature though.
No, because there is often no public transit and everything is miles apart. Most of the US is built for cars, not for walking.
The bridge was unmarked and wasn't barricaded. The court can assign partial liability to multiple negligent parties. The __average person__ expects Google Maps to be current, and Google Maps does provide minute-by-minute updates on traffic and road hazards. The __average person__ doesn't expect a paper map to be updated with the same frequency as Google.

Optimizing Postgres indexes for performance tuning
They'll just make your resistance to monitoring a crime unto itself. Used PGP? They'll make it so the judge is allowed to just assume your guilt and sentence you as if concrete proof had been presented. You'll have to decrypt to prove your innocence.

Hiding something with cryptography? You're obviously a mass murdering child molesting money laundering drug trafficking terrorist and it's off to the gulag with you unless you show us the decrypted bits and it turns out there's nothing of interest in there.
The goal is that OrbStack is just a lot nicer to use. Better performance, lower resource usage, and many DX features (several of which are covered) that go together to create a delightful experience.

It's also a lot cheaper than the Docker Business rate (at least according to their pricing page), and the saved developer time should pay for itself quickly. It could even mean that companies can ditch expensive EC2 cloud dev environments, for example.
> late on a Friday afternoon comment is a bit strange, rather pointed

There is always someone responsible. If it's private land, there is an owner of the land. If it's public land, then at the very least the county or city is responsible.
> I'm not sure I would have been so generous to the author of the article this is in reply to. But I suppose that's a skill of a successful open source leader -- to turn interactions with critics into productive discussions rather than arguments, and perhaps even turn the critics into supporters.

FWIW, reduz (Godot author) and sprudd ("Godot is not the new Unity" author) previously discussed this on Reddit[1], and sprudd was actually sounded pretty nice (the first reply even includes a "and I hope that I wasn't too rude in the article. :)").

Overall, I think the original article was written in good faith, just with a click-baity title (and I imagine reduz thought the same thing). That might have helped to avoid a more angry reply.

In a word yes.

But also Murdoch is one of the driving forces in this brave new world where you have to be extreme to be acceptable. If it weren't for Murdoch, allegedly, we wouldn't need to call someone actually Hitler in order to be sufficiently devout to our partisanship.

The greatest irony of his success is that the same people who personally trumpet their visceral hate for Murdoch will also tell you with a straight face that the Great Man theory of history is harmfully and false and everyone is only a product of greater historical trends.

I used TOML for complex configuration and I am quite happy with it.

However I often saw people who complained with it, and most of the complains afaik are of the nature: "This extremely complex use case, that I could as well just write in an interpreted language isn't supported by TOML".

If your configuration is so crazy it needs more than any configuration language offers, just use a scripting language instead. I have seen lua or python files act as configuration and there is nothing wrong with that.
People don't vote with their wallets with clear minds though. People vote with half-asleep notions of what's good based on an onslaught of direct and viral marketing combo that threatens to ostracize them from their various social/support groups if they don't consume said product. No one has the time and energy to fight that on every front, nor has the know-how in every conceivable field to understand what is a lie and what isn't.

As a third person reading the conversation, your original post came across as dismissive in the sense that you referred to Elixir as merely a "gateway drug" and Erlang as "the real thing", an opinion that you provided zero support for. When someone pointed out some of Erlang's significant shortcomings and pain points relative to its modern counterpart, your reply came across as somewhat condescending, in a "oh yeah? well, back in my day..." sort of way, which is how a lot of old people talk down to younger people.
Lexical has been great. I think the biggest drawback is that its an earlier project (compared to alternatives) so there are not always best practices for what we want to do. That said, the community is pretty active (in discord) and generally responsive to bug reports.
Unlike metric, all the different imperial measurements are just combinations of different kinds of initially unrelated measurement systems. So a gallon has absolutely nothing to do with foot, miles are a completely different measurement system than feet, pounds and so on.

Needing to know the weight of a cubic hectare of water and then how many gallons that is, is not a common issue. Metric does give you a system that can quickly calculate these things comparatively.
> Mindshare is valuable, was the point GP was making. If midsize customers ignore you because you're too expensive, and then implement something else before they get big enough to afford you, where do you get new customers? Forget growth, how do you replace attrition as your existing customers die?

Somehow companies manage to make it work extracting money from your existing money-is-no-object customers. Oracle and IBM have basically zero mind-share amongst HN reading folks, but yet there they are.

I'm sure it can[1], do you mean can you get documents in insertion order? The default _id is a random right-leaning identifier[2], so sorting by it would only get you an approximate insertion order (except in a deployment with a single server). However as the linked documentation demonstrates you could supply a strictly incrementing ID, if your architecture abides.

Notice that you just said "You can have a list of components _where each component_ references a bit of global state". In other words, in order to avoid re-rendering everything, you need to have a component for each item in the list.

In React, the component is the unit of re-rerendering. MobX can't change that fact. The only thing you can do is work around it with hacks that imperatively update the DOM.
Yes, that's what I meant. You can be either green or neo-Nazi, no middle ground.

People have different problems and priorities than you, and if you decide to annoy them on top of the hardships they've already been burdened with, this might be the straw that will cause them to eventually radicalize. Just look at the AfD banners of the day, and you will see that they use every opportunity like this to grab voters. I've seen posters that said "Klima-Kleber ins Knast", so this is a factor that may bend people down.

What I don't like about Germany is that left-leaning people love to shout out their virtue with demos, banners, stickers, banter and whatnot, but when they are confronted with an actual working-class crowd, they just brush them off as "Nazis", and we don't talk to "Nazis".
