> That comment doesn't really say anything other than that you believe cost vs. calories is a false dichotomy, but since that's an extraordinary claim, the onus is on you to provide evidence.

Let's start with this part:

> That comment doesn't really say anything other than

Three things. / First, this comes across as dismissive to many readers. I hope you are aware of this, and I hope you would choose different phrasing next time. / Second, it is a mischaracterization of my comment -- my comment isn't a mere statement of what I believe. There is considerable support for my claims about the _reality_ of how the world works (technological changes, economics, values, etc). / Third, writing one sentence in reply doesn't seem like a good way to make discussion more substantive as it progresses (per HN guidelines).

Now on to this part:

> but since that's an extraordinary claim, the onus is on you to provide evidence.

I get your reference to Russell's tea pot; it is unfortunate you went there; I'm not foisting some made-up thing as real. Nor am I positing some vague extraordinary belief.

Let's me flip this part of your comment on its head:

> the onus is on you to provide evidence.

My comment was lengthy and substantive. As such, it contains plenty of material to dig into. Have you dug into the area I discuss? If so, tell me what you've learned. In particular, why would there be a hard rule across all history and future states suggesting calories and cost are "at odds" with each other? When I state it this way, I think you can see your claim is the harder one to believe.

Also, why is the onus on me to write more? Why is not the onus on you to research more? Or at least write more?

I have one more thing to say about this pazt:

> but since that's an extraordinary claim

You've got it backward. Broadly, it is a much stronger claim to say "X and Y" are mutually exclusive than to say "over the long run, with technological changes, they don't have to be." That's what my comment said.

Again, to drive the point home, I'll state it a slightly different way: given many possible universes with various configurations, consider two quantities X and Y, it would be _much_ less likely for "X and Y" to be mutually exclusive. Do you understand what I'm getting at? This is a fundamental thought experiment based on probabilities.

If you can comment in detail and turn down the dismissiveness, I think a better discussion is possible.

Can you vouch that you have no ulterior motive or conflict of interest on this topic? I have no conflict of interest. My primary goal is rational, high quality, substantive discussion. My ulterior motive, so to speak, is that I believe people don't have to agree, but at the very least we can try to share and maybe even learn from each other.
Is there a way to set the price so that it purchases a micro annuity for you.

I get you want recurring revenue. It might be possible to have the $10 fee go into some security or bond that pays you out a few cents per year forever. Not sure how that will work taxes wise.
> That said, I can't think of a situation where degrees (of temperature?) would disappear in a mathematical operation.

I regret that the decades that have elapsed since I studied physical chemistry & thermodynamics don’t permit me to make a proper answer, but if you want this to make sense I believe you should look many orders of magnitude smaller- Boltzman’s derivation of the ideal gas law from Newtonian mechanics using statistical methods.

Temperature is basically thermal density; it’s not really a fundamental unit. Chemical engineers use steam tables all the time to convert temperature to heat or other quantities.
Bombastics never die! They simply fade away...
>They are pretty helpful when I'm writing quick generic routines.

That is precisely the point. If I can reliably outsource the done-1000-times-before type tasks to AI which completes those small tasks several times faster than I could, then I see that as a win. It doesn't replace me, not even close. It does free up more of my time for actually taking lunch or cracking more interesting problems though.
A useful habit (which I think I picked up while studying physics at sixth-form) is to describe temperature intervals in “Celsius degrees” (and specific temperatures in “degrees Celsius”).

So a temperature of 43 degrees Celsius is 18 Celsius degrees hotter than 25 degrees Celsius.

32 Fahrenheit degrees are equivalent to 18 Celsius degrees; but 32 degrees Fahrenheit is equivalent to 0 degrees Celsius.

(There's no real need to do this when using absolute units, but I'd still pluralise the interval and not the absolute value: 316 kelvin is 25 kelvins hotter than 291 kelvin.)
I think en_IE is a rather undersold/underpromoted "international/european english" locale that more people should know about!
It is intentional and meant to dissuade users from treating HN as a content publication platform. HN seeks to be an aggregator of quality links (on specific subjects) + topical discussions on the linked subjects. They don't want to degenerate into a Linked-In (or similar) type network which encourages users to create original posts on their platform.
well, it's merging MAC and IP into one address. there is no need for two if the MAC address can be assigned dynamically. and it's extending the auto-discovery of the address to work over larger networks. so it's not reinventing but simplifying things. (or not, i am not familiar enough with the details to be aware of other problems that could complicate things again)
For what it's worth, YouTube's compression renders many videos of demos into a mushed up mess, especially things like 10,000 item point clouds that still look crisp with each point individually rendered by the program but on YouTube comes out as a vibrating smudge.

>For every increase of 10C chemical reactions happen twice as fast

Except for the ones that go at different rates.
For me, it is and will always be art!

I have tried and failed to be any good in this competition, but I for sure enjoyed watching these demos and still get this flashback when I see one.

Oh dear, good old times when having a 3D animation and sound all running fluidly (on that old machines) from a small tiny program felt like magic.

I have respect for the guys that kept on creating them and making it part of the computer/internet history! Thank you all!
And the reason subnormals exist at all is that normally there's an implicit 1-bit (without the implicit 1-bit, there would be multiple representations of the same value, e.g. all values with mantissa 0 would represent 0 regardless of exponent), but you could never represent the value 0 itself if the implicit 1-bit is always there. So for the lowest exponent value, the implicit bit is set to 0, to allow representing 0, but also those other very tiny values since there's still an entire mantissa to give meaning to in addition to value 0.
I wonder what the cost of implementing this bylaw was on the tax payer, here is a guess:

- Health and safety assessment by specialist HSE officer - £10k

- Procurement of organic sustainable hay bale - £2k

- Consultation with local community to ensure hay bale is not offensive to straw bale enthusiasts - £5k

- Transportation costs - £500

- Lawsuit from worker hurting shoulder when mounting the hay bale over bridge side - £80k

- Admin and project management costs - £12k

In a dynamic interpreted language there is no value of having generics over duck typing or omitting types altogether (and you can narrow down by specifying interfaces). Compiled languages generate a version of your function<T> for every T encountered in the codebase.
I got hired for a remote job in 2011, and have yet to meet any co-workers in the flesh, including the guy who hired me. I've spent plenty of time looking at him, talking to him. I've seen him at his worst and best. We know lots of little details of each other's lives. The fact that I've never touched or smelled him doesn't seem like any kind of problem.
Poor spelling and grammar irks me very much indeed.

That's pretty much the result of the summer-winter time changes, but you don't have to have the plaques with hours of work read "9:00–17:00 Mon-Fri in winter; 10:00–16:00 Sat in winter; 8:00–16:00 Mon-Fri in summer; 9:00–15:00 Sat in summer".

Hacker news is a site for "hackers", which is to say people who like to tinker and explore.

Making the css awful is part of the experience. It encourages you to learn how to tinker with your way of consuming the web to be able to override that css and make it readable.

I'm pretty sure the majority of iphone jailbreaks have been to allow customizing hacker news's css in ios safari.
We must not be using the same GitHub Actions because most of the list is very much things you can do. I do them almost daily.

GP didn't say PHP is a good language. GP is saying that many hate PHP while praising JS, which is another impressive pile of crap on many fronts: semantics, standard library, ecosystem.

All those bad things about PHP you've listed go well with Gary Bernhardt's WTF video about JS's inconsistency.

JavaScript is not well-designed however you squint at it, and claims that it's gotten better must come from people that have not used any other language before.
Except then you go to share something with others and have to convince people to install your esoteric shell first. It’s the same reason why I quickly abandoned fish - zsh with some fish niceties (auto-complete, etc.) gets me most of the way there, and in the odd case where I’m writing a script and use something zsh-specific, it’s not that hard to convert it to bash if necessary.
here is an example,

Really interesting...

And 100% right about the "over-engineered" part.

The "real" danger for PHP is to end up like Java (not the JVM, Java)
If you like the music from demoscene, much of it was written on a tracker sequencer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_tracker. I've been playing with Polyend's hardware tracker recently and I love it.

If you want to try a tracker out yourself Renoise is great (much cheaper) option for PC/Mac/Linux. There are also several free trackers out there with varying levels of practicality (I only know Polyend and Renoise so I can't really suggest which free ones are good).

There's a bit of a learning curve but once you get the hang of the workflow it's tons of fun!

Correct.

This is a weird setup and way to approach it and anyone involved with the scene in its glory days etc never was classifying things this way. Styles based on description of sounds sure but not bpms. This is some weird engineer take on things.
Not everyone is a arrogant cheapskate like yourself. The actual reason is that it's 99% of the time correct due to it generally being a well-functioning system proven over time.
There's a difference between downvoted posts and dead posts, I believe:

A bunch of these seem like either non-problems with other languages (what language forces you to use kubernetes?), or just “I’m at small scale and therefore don’t need to solve problems that come with large scale”.

These people are willing to contort themselves into a pretzel to justify getting something for nothing. They’re no different than people that show up to a restaurant, get an hours worth of good service from a waiter then tip them nothing (in the US) and claim they believe tipping is morally wrong and the system should be brought down. “No dude, you’re just a cheap bastard.”
What an insane justification for making a site have accessibility issues. Hacking should be for the joy of it, not to undo someone else's poor judgement.

“Book of the New Sun”, beginning with Shadow of the Torturer, is his major work but can be unapproachable at first. The narrator/protagonist is a terrific character, but a IMO difficult one to spend time with.

The Fifth Head of Cerberus is also a great entry point. It’s a set of three interconnected novellas that, for my part at least, were more immediately engaging than BotNS. It’s got all the Wolfe-isms you want: unreliable narrators, unconventional settings, and puzzle-box stories that slowly open themselves.
Hahahhaha there’s less bots now than before Elon took over.

Now instead of reply bots tho I get like bots.

Discourage is different from preventing; there have been a few times when I've noticed controversial comments bouncing between grey and black, including some when they've been mine and I can therefore see the net karma directly.

Purely subjectively, I think low contrast also makes it harder to get annoyed when noticing Someone Is Wrong On The Internet, without also feeling (so strongly) disengaged when I think a low contrast comment has good point.
I worry that this may paradoxically increase bots, because now the price of legitimacy is $1 per year. Bot farms and shills will do the math.

It will be very interesting to watch how tech like this affects mainstream society.

I imagine pornography will use it at some point soon. Maybe something like chaturbate where your interactions with the cam performer are more customized?

Could it be used with CCTV to reconstruct crime scenes or accidents?

Wedding videos might be a popular use, being able to watch from new angles could be a killer app.

Or a reworking of the first Avengers movie, view all the action from multiple viewpoints.

And all this will probably be built in to the pixel 18 pro or something.

I was never part of it. But it seems like it is still fairly popular. The constraints are artificial now, but other than just creating work, those constraints shape what is produced in a way that is still pleasing. Other constrained stuff like tiny wasm game competitions are fun too. I'm hoping demoscene on microcontrollers becomes a thing. Though you'd have to be selective. Many of them absolutely demolish the capabilities of an amiga1000.

Constrained generative networks would be interesting too.

It’s a screed against technology though. It frequently bemoans technology that “hasn’t helped”, despite all of the existing technologies that developed under the model that a16z is arguing to keep supporting.

The “libertarian hyper-capitalist” model the author is crying about is essentially the model that got us all of the things the author takes for granted. Complaints about Uber and Lyft fall flat when they were developed the same way we got cheap solar power (companies competing to beat each other in a capitalist environment).

Nice little interview that touches on a number of the magical parts of the scene and the many elements and major sites. This guy only started in 1997? All good, but feel like that's just a bit 'after' the golden, significant era. There was definitely a change as PC/windows development happened ...right around then I'd say. But maybe that's just my take on it. Feel like references to some classic demos should be late 80s/early 90s for the sheer impact and that it was a much much more active scene then.

Policies are good and usually law abiding. Meaning that they treat their employees fairly, pay taxes and obey labor laws or they'll get sued.

The main beneficiaries are the patrons and people working there, who are as likely to live in the community than a mom and pop shop. The profit margin, if any, accrues to stock holders which are widely distributed to people with 401ks pensions and others. I'm okay with that
