That's your "definition" of country?

These countries:

remained sovereign for tens of thousands of years.

Whereas, for example, the "United Kingdom" as a country (of four kingdoms) only dates back to 1801, prior to which there was a long history of contested sovereignty claims, there's some interesting paperwork declaring a King of Scotland as a the King of England, etc.

And yet none of this heavily influences compile times. At least I have not found so on MM LoC projects I've been working so far. Not sure what the fuss is around modules, I honestly don't think it will solve C++ build times. Happy to be proved otherwise.

The basic premise of this post is utterly wrong.

> I have another pet theory on why the demoscene died.

It didn't die. Revision hosts hundreds of sceners every year. This year over 400 entries were submitted to the competition, including 40 full PC demos and over 40 tracked/oldschool/executable music entries. Even for small, local C64/Amiga parties here you have to race for tickets to these events.

We released a C64 intro outside a competition a couple of months ago, and within a couple of days it was buried in the inflow of new C64 releases on CSDB. The C64 scene is bigger now than when I got into it 18 years ago.

> The same story goes for tracked music or chiptunes, compared to MP3s.

That didn't die either. Things don't die just because you stop pay attention to them. The notion of competing with Pixar is absurd; the terms of competition and markets are entirely different. Pixar makes movies for the mainstream to make money. Sceners make productions for sceners that may be more interesting to them than a Pixar production in an esoteric sense that the mainstream will not understand.

Here in the Albert Heijn in the Netherlands, headquarters must love it. In Groningen I sometimes see 8 students checking out at the same time while the store would only have place for 3 to 4 regular check outs. It seems to me like much higher parallelization.
I’ve found it depends on the store and what you’re trying to do. Larger higher traffic grocery stores have their weight sensors calibrated much more finely. At kroger for example i’m always frustrated i forget to register my bag and need to empty it and start again. At sprouts things mostly “just work”, I rarely have issues.

Another annoyance: after moving to California i’m fairly frustrated by the “No Alcohol in Self Checkout” rule. Buying a sandwich and a single bottle of wine? Good luck standing in line behind someone with a cart full of produce! Don’t really see what this law does except cause frustration. In states where it’s allowed you need an attendant to verify ID anyway, same as a regular line. Another stupid CA rule.
It's frequently done by nonprofessionals with some oversight. Usually the future owners. At least over here in central EU.

Ceilings, roof, plumbing, electrical wiring, facade are way more trouble.

But that's the point. Today this is a big distinction that makes it more difficult for many people to appreciate.

When we saw Commodore 64 demos for example, they often impressed even relatively non-technical people.

But today a demo that pushes the limits technically will often only look impressive to those who understand the technical limitations.

That has significantly changed the potential audience to a diminishing subset even if relatively technical people.

Is the .NFO scene still alive? I remember making a few (terrible) NFOs about 20 years ago for some bottom tier “release groups”, in exchange for leech access to one of their “sites”. I imagine now with everything on torrent it’s not as popular. Not to mention streaming services etc.

Interesting, but I think that modern factory built panels - which are already in common use for commercial buildings - are the future. They regularly put foam insulation between two layers of cement so they are well insulated (or at least can be), and because they are built in a factory they can better control quality. A worksite can put panels up a lot faster once they get going.
I use samples from some SF2s as well, specifically this odd Super Nintendo styled SF2 I downloaded years ago because some samples in it are super cool and weird not to mention the perfect sample rate and size, specifically this oddly-heavenly sounding nylon acoustic guitar, but for electric guitars (which I wanna experiment with making metal in trackers) I use FM guitars because they just shred hard as hell for some unknown reason. I use OpenMPT on Windows but I've heard there are others that are much better. I saw the website for Renoise but looking at some screenshots, it really gives me the "what the fuck do I do here and how" kind of feeling software like FL Studio or Cubase gives me. I also love sampling voices, I have this old WAV from the 90s of some guy from IBM talking about what information technology would become, and sampling him is funny.
Christianity as a whole has tons of Pagan traditions carried forward, so I wouldn't give the Spanish that much credit. If you want foreign people to adopt your religion you incorporate their practices into yours.

In Sweden when you get stopped for random checks they do indeed make you empty out everything in your bags and rescan everything to make sure it matches.
Even if you want to take this sort of world view, I think going the other direction makes more sense. Trying to sell the idea that you can be happy if you just earn a few more dollars, or buy this product, or take this drug, is an amazing incentive for trying to ensure people keep spinning in a endless hamster wheel, and creating artificial demand for basically anything and everything imaginable. If people actually stopped to introspect, or stopped believing that money was like a drug for the ails of their life, our entire economic system would come to a screeching halt, to say nothing of absolutely wrecking the profits of near to every major corporation in existence.

There's actually even historical precedent for this. One of the hypothesized factors for the fall of Rome was the rise of Christianity. You went from a nation massively dedicated to product in pursuit of glorification of the Gods, alongside an emperor holding a pseudo-deistic role, to one where you have 'the meek shall inherit the Earth', 'it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God', and so on. It was probably just a minor factor but it almost certainly played at least some real role.
Sounds like the issue in your area is lack of competition. I live near a lot of grocery stores (coincidentally can walk to two of them in under five minutes and I don’t live in a walkable city) and it would be hard for me to give that up.
You might be right in pointing out that for latency-sensitive low-bandwidth applications (HFT basically) starlink trunks over long distances should beat undersea optical.

That caring how the city's name is spoken/written is just a dog whistle for people who want to be exclusive to feel special. It's not like they're trying to get the name right because they really care about the saints. They just want to feel like they belong more than others, because it makes them feel like they have a stronger identity. But it's just a word for a place; we all get what 'San Fran' means. Getting uppity about is just performative insecurity, like grammar nazis.
Sometimes I'm in the mood for the vocal stuff sometimes not so much. Nonetheless, I feel they created their very own niche over the years. They even did dubstep back when it was cool. Sometimes while listening to their stuff I feel that undescribable warm feeling you get when you stumble upon art.

Ok I'm not really into the whole crypto thing anymore so I didn't know that. I actually changed my statement to "ETH" instead of "him" before reading this as I realised I don't know him as a person. I did look at ETH before mainly due to the environmentally friendly Proof of Stake approach and it's the only cryptocoin (besides Monero) I would support for this reason, but I have become a bit disillusioned with crypto in general.

That's good to hear though. I guess I just miss the whole "revolutionary" power to the people ideology about crypto. Sorry about my comment.

PS: The reason my view is as such is that ETH was only founded by the time the cryptobro movement was already in full swing. So I associated this with it.

Ask HN: Biggest pain points for shipping desktop apps?
If you have experience of shipping desktop apps to end users (e.g. Electron or otherwise), what are your biggest pain points? And what sort of solution would you prefer for them? I'd love to hear about anything from very specific annoyances to wide-open utopian thinking.

I work on a tool to make deploying apps outside the browser as easy as in-browser [1]. So far we have attacked some common pain points, and are now looking at what might come next. Already done:

• Multi-platform CI is a pain and expensive, fixed (you can release from your dev laptop or a cheap Linux CI worker).

• Lots of work on code signing usability like making it CI compatible (cloud signing services), self signing, notarization from non-Macs, high quality error messages etc.

• Lots of work on usability in general.

• Web-style updates that apply synchronously on start, or silent background updates.

• Delta updates automatically without any additional workflow steps.

• Automation of misc tasks for small apps like generating a download HTML page, uploading the results, etc.

Some ideas we're kicking around for future improvements:

1. Ability to update apps whilst they're running.

2. Handle interaction with certificate authorities for you, so there's no need to do that yourself beyond responding to ID verification requests.

3. Signing for you if your app fits inside a sandbox.

4. Stream app content instead of it being downloaded all at once.

5. Be able to re-use pre-existing files from other apps to reduce download sizes (for macOS; this already works on Windows).

6. More formats for Linux (but which? flatpak? snap?)

What other things might be useful?

The wider vision here is to steadily chip away at the sources of friction that push people towards running only in the browser, allowing devs to build apps that fully utilize the hardware, programming languages, frameworks and operating systems that are out there. Today the incentive to innovate in regular computing form factors is significantly hampered by the fact that nobody will actually use anything you add, because browser makers won't be willing to export it to JS. Mobile has avoided this issue but there's no equivalent for the platforms where work gets done. Whilst the tool supports Electron well, it also supports any other kind of app, so those of you who want to experiment with making UIs in pure Rust or any other approach can go wild and easily ship whatever you produce.

I’ll point out that typically in Sweden the carts are much smaller, the biggest ones you typically see at ICA and the like are pull behind rollers that are usually only about 25-40% of the size of a USA full size cart. So it’s not as big of an ask to empty them out as the massive trawlers provided in the USA.

its actually a hard problem: the massive boom that's required to provide reach is inherently quite unstable, not in the mm or cm but we're talking decimeters here. some of the core tech of FBR dating back ~15 yrs addresses this kind of dynamic stabilization.
