HN mods don’t have that much capacity. You would need a team of approvers. And it would be a boring job!

Instead just internally sticky note people who flag something that is later vouched or vice versa. Then review these noted people and shadow ban their vouch/flag powers if they are making a lot of off decisions.

I reckon an algo like this would catch a person a day and would be easy to review. This reduces trolls.

I have eaten quite a lot of things on 5 continents. I got food poisoning from a lot of things as well. Plus common stomach bugs every so often. What I have never seen ever is someone getting food poisoning from a piece of cheese. And some of them are nasty even without considering what they can pick up in a fridge.

Hard cheeses are fine if you just scrap one or two millimetres in the worst cases. Soft cheeses are supposed to have a thriving mould population from the beginning, which prevents a lot of nasty things to develop. The riskiest are cheeses you are supposed to eat very young like cottage cheese. These can be aged with the right culture, but it’s unlikely to happen by chance and they get foul very quickly otherwise.

You should be more upset that a simple ER visit could cost you any money at all, to be honest.

systemd requiring two files for timers is quite intentional.

A timer runs a unit. Which means that you can test any timer easily by just starting the unit itself whenever needed. With cron, to test things you need to fiddle with the configuration and schedule it to run in the next minute or two, wait, check the logs, adjust, rinse and repeat.

> twinflights is something I could use. Is it possible to select number of stop overs on each direction? e.g. often I like to wander on way out from home. But then on way back I just want to get home ASAP.

This is something I've been working on because often times I also want this. The first step was adding one-way flights, the next step is making this configurable!

> In terms of the UX, a table view is a bit daunting while I'm starting with an exploration mindset, perhaps start the user with a map instead?

The 'table' view is the search result correct? Adding a map would actually sound very nice. It would give you the perfect overview of all of your options including price.

> Also FYI, I randomly clicked on Book a flight. It led me to Kiwi but the price went up from 158 to 198. I tried a few other buttons and the price stayed the same.

I am building this on top of Tequila (the Kiwi API) and their rate limit is quite generous, but still not enough to do real time searches. Every day I am scraping all flights put them into a database (MySQL and Neo4J) so that I can search for the cheapest alternative flights given between point A and B. Because of this the prices might sometimes be a bit outdated, but that also works both ways. I am working on trying to optimise this though.

I appreciate your comments, thank you very much!
This is like asking to prove the sky is blue in a sunny day. Walk outside and you'll see it. I was talking to friends about how we've forgotten how fast computers are because all we see are web pages and Electron applications. People don't even remember the wonder of native applications.

Try building an operating system or browser engine in Javascript and you'll see what the parent is saying. I'm just giving you these examples because these are some of the last remaining native applications everybody still uses, but pretty much any native application will be much faster than the Javascript version. The reason browser wins is that we got to a point where the performance is "good enough" and the development cost is significantly lower.

For a 1Ω resistance over the entire grid, assuming it was made of aluminium, 40,000 km long, material cost is about $239 billion.

(But on this scale the number is essentially imaginary, as the real answer is "how much do governments value the opportunity cost of the other things they could get people to do other than make a factory to make aluminium").

If you have the chance to visit Roquefort (the city) and the cave, you should. That's what the legend tells : a young shepard forgotten his cheese in a cave when he saw a beautiful girl passing by... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roquefort
I personally understood the taste of it when I visited the caves there and now I am a huge fan.

What is remarkable with Roquefort is the penicilium roquforti and the fact that it is not that dry. Many dry cheese can be aged and should be to develop their aromas (Comté, parmiggiano...etc).

One more parameter that I find often overlooked is temperature : aromas and texture are much better at room more than fridge temperature. If you can get your cheese out of the fridge 30min-1h before consuming, you will enjoy it much more.

Consider this - you may not be able to hit your assumption with all possible inputs in debug/during development, or your function may accept user-provided input, you then release your software, and then somebody gets your code executed with a set of inputs that don't pass the assumption, now since it's an assert that's been effectively turned into a no-op in release, you're reading past the end of the buffer.

There is an interesting problem being worked on with Gaussian Splats for use in VR stereo rendering [1]

>Gaussian splats are 3d, but currently rendered as 2d cards ordered on centre, not per pixel like they should be.

>So as centres reorder, they "shuffle". This is a showstopper for general adoption in VR

>The solution? Ordering per pixel will solve this, as would stochastic methods which write depth correctly (though those have other problems for VR).

>For it to be viable you need to cull much more aggressively but also can't have any warp divergence when processing samples.

>Unforunately those things are in direct conflict. Paper's renderer is at extreme end of "weak cull, perfect warp convergence".

Apparently need some new Order-Independent Transparency algorithms that handle depth layers.

That’s a bit funny: 8° C is roughly 50° F (46.4), and 40° C is roughly 100° F (104). Almost like Fahrenheit might be scaled to a human!

Hard to say if it's true and to what degree but these guys need to adapt. There is enormous demand for more buildings - but they do not necessarily have to be offices. Most funds prefer commercial real estate because it's easier to deal with but I don't think they have any chance against the market, they will have to adapt.

I was wondering how old this project is:

v1.0.1 - Jan 2020

v2.0.0 - Jun 2020 but never left beta.

I also wonder how solid it is, because it looks very interesting.

It's the Xlinks project.

This is where I got the 16bn figure: <https://www.investmentmonitor.ai/sectors/energy/uk-morocco-s...>. This source says £20 billion, but half is for the cable, and the other half the solar farm and other expenses: <https://sifted.eu/articles/xlinks-morocco-uk-electricity-cab...>.

Reporting is a bit inconsistent. My point is, transmitting electricity extremely long distances has its own downsides (construction costs & power losses), even if we assume Morocco gets a fair deal out of this.

And this project is "only" 7% of UK electricity supply. What of the rest? What of other countries? Saying "export" and "import" doesn't solve all the problems of intermittency (unfortunately).

I learned programming from these magazines. It's the ultimate open source, as the code was generally small enough that you had a shot of understanding every single line. Sometimes the code listing was documented in the article, which explained how the implementation worked, rather than just explaining what the application does.

Timezones (fcron has this!!)

Offsets (e.g. the day before the first friday of each month) (this can be implemented via multiple rules but I don't want that)

As someone else said, HN is not a good place to ask this question. There is a constant irrational hostility to anything crypto-related here.

It's been awhile since I've followed blockchain tech closely, but with the increasing power of AI tools and the potential for deepfakes, I can see a use case for blockchain in verifying that a photograph is real and not AI-generated.

I also think blockchain is an ideal technology for a world that no longer trusts central authorities. That world seems...increasingly likely to me, so in some sense blockchain's real use case may not have arrived yet. This is not unique or rare; many times in history, a technology's "real use" is not apparent until decades or centuries after its invention. People declaring something dead or useless a decade after its invention are frankly ignorant of how the world actually works.
Wait, how does exactly this work? As I understand it works something like this: mouse/keyboard input -> driver -> game engine -> graphic engine -> GPU. So, what exactly NVIDIA reflex (and Radeon lag+) did? How does intercepting commands in game engine helps the performance of GPU?

Upd: I did read explanation of Nvidia reflex (NVIDIA Reflex keeps the CPU perfectly in sync with the GPU to eliminate the render queue.) and still not sure that I understand. Why developers of game did not implemented this fix themselves?
I appreciate novel and thought provoking critiques like this, and also can keep in mind that roads are amazing and make the world better in a million ways.

There’s a big difference between internalizing something like this as a non obvious cost of something positive - and positive on the net despite the cost - vs reading this and deciding that roads should be removed or something like that.

In a neoclassical economic model with the assumption of permanent equilibrium constraints, there is no such thing as an unstable money system. So neoclassical economists deny that it would ever matter whether the money system is stable or not. In fact, anyone studying money is considered a crank akin to someone studying flat earth theory, which is unfortunate, because it means we every day people have to live with that instability.

Ah, so it's considered a "bot" because the game is expecting something to reach the display before a human responded? The card isn't doing any network input, so something must be checking if the state was blitted before the human response...(?!)

100% agree. And the context is not only what you build but also who you are working with. A team with high turnover to it and a founder with 2-3 engineer should prop have diffrent ways of doing things, and there is a lot of business context that people are missing. A lot of code do not need to scale or be extended and may be thrown away or stopped worker on in just a few years. And we we as a industry's has gone to far in many places thinking about good code. Its highly dependent on the context

They can, but they don't need to. Rooftops, extra shade for car parks (or walkways), deserts, gaps between directions of the same road[0]… in principal, if we were solving this together at a global scale rather than a bunch of local competing interests, we can supply well over 100% of current demand just by PV without needing any farm land to be used in the process.

Nvidia reflex works by inserting a wait before input processing that dynamically adjusts so that the frame completes rendering right before the monitor's v-blank. Thereby reducing the amount of time the completed frame sits idle in the backbuffer, which in turn reduces the delta between when input is sampled and when the frame is displayed.

To do this effectively is very difficult without a complete view of the pipeline all the way to the display. That is why a feature like that works best when the driver and game engine work together rather than either side attempting to implement it unilaterally.

It seems that AMD attempted to implement this feature without help from the game developer by hooking the Windows input APIs directly.

As a long-time IRC user who never had problems with various IRC clients, I find Discord's interface quite counter-intuitive.

First example that comes to my head: I click on a channel that I haven't visited for some time, the view focuses on old messages (from the last time I visited it) rather than on the newest ones (which is typically what I want). And going to the newest ones isn't even trivial, I don't know a way other than scrolling down all the way, which may be quite annoying if the channel is very active and there is a lot of material to scroll past.
