I've personally found the notifications that updates are available to be more consistent with Neo Store over Droid-ify. (I've had both installed at the same time, Neo always showed up first, despite the same settings).

I was a user of the latter initially when it started as a fork of Foxy Droid. At one point development slowed down and Neo Store was created and had active development, and I've used that ever since. Both are still actively developed as far as I know.
Yes… and that makes it more impressive than just running this one game. It opens up type driven development to anyone who can do typescript.
Typescript isn't a very strong type system. At least not like Rust/Go are.
Has nothing to do with the language. 1 (in its isolated presentation) exists outside of my set of data and that's not something that gives me comfortable feelings. It forces me to think (less think more good) why some random value needs to float around my data and maybe needs to be appended or summed or whatever.. because reasons. As far as I'm concerned you might as well make it 200 or 1648194. And why would those ever be needed in any context around my data?

Correct, the novel thing Element X does different is sliding sync which allows for much faster partial syncs when the app is opened. The classic apps would have to do a much more substantial (and energy intensive) sync each time it was brought up to foreground.

The big drawback are the X versions are still very far from feature complete.
My high school math teacher told as about how students at his university competed for the shortest bachelor paper.

Not getting a paper published is par for the course, but having to retake your bachelor examination is quite the hassle. The risk and associated bragging rights seemed quite big.
Tangent, I find Instagram to be one of the most egregious battery drainers amongst mainstream apps. A former IG employee made a claim here on HN that the inefficiency was due to ghastly experiments being run on clients devices. Shame, I cannot seem to find that comment.
Was it cheaper than living in a storage unit or someone's rented closet?

I kid you not that people in SF both live in storage units (with power, cooking, fridge, and TV) and rent walk-in closets to live in.
No, that wouldn't insert a hop between the server and the provider's network.
Blizzards downloaded is top tier. The startup time from initial, bare bones install to playable is very fast.

It starts with placeholder content to get you running, and anything immediately necessary for your area. For example, if you’re in a capital city, it doesn’t wait to download the entire city, just where you are. It can rough out the other areas and add details almost in real time as you start making your way through it.

Things get more difficult if you mount up and start flying more world to load, but even still it doesn’t load it all.

There’s certainly a cost, there can be FPS loss during busy areas, but by the time you get to something important, it should all be loaded.

Contrived example is you’re in a raid, some reason you feel you need to reinstall, you could do that, fire up the game, it’ll load the raid and by the time you hit the first boss, it’ll all be there. This will take minutes.

Since I leave the client running, it updates in the background. During new releases it starts to download the entirety of the new release a couple of weeks before it’s due, to get the bulk of the content down. When they cut the release, it’s typically a much smaller update to turn the new content on. I rarely have to wait to play the game.

Experiencing a few other games makes me really appreciate the work Blizzard had done in this regard. It’s top drawer.
With sealed classes and explicit inheritance you have it in Java now
Ah, now THAT is a good and interesting question. I know that there's been a lot of funding for Texas chip fabs, but yeah, no idea who those guys are. (Edit: According to their website, they're fabless. So that's even weirder. And I'm surprised that one can trademark the paragraph symbol(§) like they claim to have done.)
I've done a lot of both, and JS is definitely more dynamic than Ruby.
You should research what happened with distros and UI systems...open source was building lots of nice UIs and you could even have them on Windows/Mac, but the was constant drama over the "right" way to code a UI framework...which led to a ton of fracturing and leaning back towards minimalism (because the nice stuff was always very heavy).

This even happened with Microsoft, they had so many false starts and changes in messaging that they killed their own portfolios. I suspect at least that is why they "embraced linux" because it was excellent at web, and web wasn't busy changing every month (it has been, but that's a different story).

Apple introduced Swift but besides new Xcode versions I get the general impression their tooling has been far more stable.

Have looked at the T1 Code? It far from obvious how you would use that as a starting point for a new chip. You need a lot of expertise for custom memory blocks etc. and there aren’t any tests included if I remember correctly.
There is F-droid Basic, which lacks a few less popular functions but contains a rework of app installation. It can install apps in background as well. It's very smooth in my case, works pretty much like auto updating on play store.

> Aren’t they gas giants? I mean they are probably very cold, but usually they are called gas giants.

"Ice giant" seems to be the more modern terminology:

An ice giant is a giant planet composed mainly of elements heavier than hydrogen and helium, such as oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur. There are two ice giants in the Solar System: Uranus and Neptune.

In astrophysics and planetary science the term "ice" refers to volatile chemical compounds with freezing points above about 100 K, such as water, ammonia, or methane, with freezing points of 273 K (0°C), 195 K (−78°C), and 91 K (−182°C), respectively (see Volatiles). In the 1990s, it was determined that Uranus and Neptune were a distinct class of giant planet, separate from the other giant planets, Jupiter and Saturn, which are gas giants predominantly composed of hydrogen and helium.

As such, Neptune and Uranus are now referred to as ice giants.

A month after a pig heart transplant, man works to regain strength
At least part of the reason is not technical, but philosophical. See the third item in the FAQ https://secure.raptorcs.com/content/base/faq.html

These CPUs are completely open and "free". In addition to the libre philosophy this guarantees a level of security unobtainable with any other CPU.

The same rationale is behind the powerpc laptop project https://www.powerpc-notebook.org/en/
Same for me on not immediately “getting it.” I started with an Atari 800XL and wrote some small stuff but didn’t realize I was programming until a few years later. It was fun tho. I miss that simplicity.
Dropbox got weird. First it was great. Then awesome.

On the software side, they seem to be equally good from a technical standpoint: they let you live outside of google, be root etc.

I'm less a fan of the google pixel hardware: eInk devices provides a different experience.

In the "usual" (Google, Samsung...) western brands, there are no good eink pocket (cellphone sized or less, like the inkpalm or hisense) or normal sized eink tablet (>8" screen) alternatives, especially if you want color.

The kindles are more like phablets, and have lots of software limitations preventing you from flashing what you want. On top of that, their eink screens are always black and white, and most often very small.

I have a color eink tablet with a 10" screen. Outside of Chinese companies, there isn't anything available. If there was such a google pixel device and I could reflash it and mod it as easily as Chinese devices and without limitations, I would consider it.
Virtual texturing ( or people may have heard of MegaTextue ) meant we could easily scale 100s GB for high quality Graphics. We are already quite CPU bound in the PS5 era sp I dont see super-compression to happen. The only way to solve this would be something like Generative Graphics. But I think that is an worst option than large storage space.
Yes a lot of stuff historically that was built with IBM XL for AIX. A lot of Fortran software, a lot of bank related shit. This kind of stuff is simultaneously extremely critical and also just cruising on intertia.
Really, everyone should have places to meet and work in person, not just people employed by corporations. I wonder how these spaces could be configured to help clubs, hobby groups, support groups, political organizations, volunteer groups, part-time workers, and other people who may have difficulty finding a space to meet.

My (high school) art history taught me that this was a thing. Then they added breasts by sort of guessing.

You’d think that adding them in the armpit region would be obviously wrong, but at the same time, it’s better than any painting I’ll ever attempt in my lifetime.

The first dinner I ever ate after arriving in SF was at their original HQ's cafe/restaurant, thanks to some friends who worked there. It was so good! I regret not having gone as a guest more often.
Oh boy, I remember 10 years ago living in SF and renting out an alcove in our 3 bedroom apartment for $350/month. It was a 10 foot by 10 foot nook off a hallway without a door. That was after converting the living room to an extra bedroom. All to pay the monthly rent (no profiting). Fun times though!
I wasn’t sure if that was a lot. It sounds like a lot. But the linked article says it is the equivalent of the pollution of 73 cars in a year per launch. That actually doesn’t sound too bad?
Those ordinances are commonly called “Inclusionary Zoning” ordinances. Even their supporters acknowledge they frequently adversely affect housing production. It’s effectively a tax on new homes.
This is about as much as a normal flight from LA to Sydney.

Unfortunately there is no real way to do rocketry without burning fuel. We will have to offset it with carbon capture.
We have that in Canada too (besides the trains) and we're not nearly as backwards economically as most EU countries. EU has been stagnating for the last decade while Canada has maintained a consistent growth rate.
> why aren't these tables normalized better anyway? None of them should have columns for the PK of another table.

> The relationships between them should be represented by bridge tables. Really there's only one relationship here which is product orders.

What?

There appears to be a mistake in the Products table, which only allows a product to belong to one category.

But the many-to-many relationship between orders and products is already represented in a bridge table, OrderDetails, and the one-to-many relationship between customers and orders is correct. Why would you have a bridge table between customers and orders instead of recording the same information in a column of the Orders table?

And... how is your bridge table going to operate without having columns for the PKs of multiple other tables? That's what OrderDetails is doing. What would you change?

> If you're arguing that "Convoy management is unlikely to be personally liable assuming they didn't delay any wage payments whatsoever and their wage payment intervals are found to be reasonable by the court", then I agree.

This is exactly what I am auguring. Convoy isnt even delaying any wage payments. They are not paying severance or providing transition healthcare/COBRA.

It seems like Voris v. Lampert case had a much longer delay, and the court still decided against the the plaintiff.

I did learn that there is more case law on piercing the vale for wage than I realized, but everything I read still suggests that a legitimate bankruptcy without serious/illegal executive misconduct will not lead to piercing of the veil.
I'm with the op, once you get used to servicing hydraulic I find them easier in many regards and require less frequent adjusting.

No, I'm on the software side of things, so I mainly see what compilers/toolchains I have to work with and what performance I get, but no idea about the nitty gritty of chip design apart from from surface knowledge.
Is Lyx still around? I remember it had good defaults. Haven't used in ages and it had some installer issues but I got fairly comfortable writing latex papers without learning a ton of latex...

Ofc that was a major downside, something other markdown editors figured out - if you give people buttons that make it easy and you make it easy to learn, they will learn what they need.

Good luck. Rich people really like getting paid for being rich.
Theoretically, hydrogen or ammonia burning don't produce CO2, among relatively popular rocket fuels. In practice, methane could make less CO2 than kerosene. Also, rockets are still relatively small part of aviation regarding exhaust, though with SpaceX efforts the rockets part will grow.
Is it unusual though? I have several toy cameras with similar "overlapping circle" shutters, and a medium format Mamiya with a focal-plane leaf shutter where "the iris and the shutter are the same" practically speaking, which differs only from the sx-70 in the shape of the effective iris at the start and end of the exposure.
> I assume that they have extremely solid toolchains available, and the feature sets were obviously mature enough for high end computing, and they've been 64-Bit for a long time.

because it is a design that belong to yesterday, initially built by people who came from a completely different age & era. why bother fixing/improving a failed design when there are widely adopted successful alternatives?

> I thought that the UltraSPARC T1/Niagara was a really amazing concept

T1 is dead slow on floating point, the situation is so horrible to the extent that it is just a fraud, period. I mean why would anyone with a reasonable mind expect their fancy 5 figures purchase to be so slow on floating point?

> if maybe a few years too early

or maybe it is a totally failed product that shouldn't be designed in the first place.

> I'm just scratching my head why everyone's so gung-ho at starting a brand new architecture from scratch

because people don't want closed architectures owned by closed companies run by a group of morons from the PR & sales departments?

maybe because people don't want to be the victim of T1's fraud again? honestly, you are kidding yourself if you consider T1 as something amazing. For me, it was a heart breaking experience once the horrible floating point performance was verified.

> so there was time to adopt them as well.

again, people don't want to be the victim of the T1 floating point performance drama.

you hit people hard once, they see your true potential and walk away, that is not very hard to understand, right?
Vertical knowledge.
SpaceX's next-generation rocket uses methane, at least.

Why do they talk like that? Like inventing new stupid words and torturing existing ones, instead of just straight forward saying what they want to say?
well, yes, I think there is some moral culpability there.

But as a matter of fact, I think that is still different than deliberate and knowingly bombing civilians by the US- let alone killing them for target practice and fun, as some claimed.

One of the commenters on the article put it in perspective:

144 Falcon launches is less than the emissions of just the flights that take off from O'Hare in a single day.

1) Fully fueled Falcon 9 uses about 180,000kg of RP-1

2) 144 flights totals 24,920,000kg

3) O'Hare has about 1000 flights a day (about 900 domestic, 100 international)

4) 737 holds about 20,000kg of fuel (The 747 can hold 160,000kg)

5) 90/10 split gives a total of 34,000,000kg
It's like using "certified pre-owned" instead of "used".

How did race cars stop before disc brakes were available?

A better thought is: since disc brakes were made legal 5 years ago, how many teams remained on rim brakes? the answer is almost none.

And this doesn't get into things that matter for normal riding like the fact your rims don't need replacing from wear, they aren't impacted by wet weather, the better modulation, etc.
"Americans have trouble facing the truth," [George] Carlin said. "So they invent a kind of a soft language to protect themselves from it" (Parental Advisory, 1990). [1]

Recently talking remotely on a space conference in Baku Musk talked about launching Starship 10 times a day from an ocean platform, as it will probably be "too much" for Cape Canaveral. That's 3000+ launches per year, each with 100 t payload, a couple orders of magnitude more than today's mass flow to orbit. Yet at the same time he talked about a million tons on the surface of Mars, which means 5 million tons on the LEO, which means 50000 launches - still some 15 times more than that. So maybe Starship will fly even more often, at least from all launching pads on Earth, especially given that there would be other uses for it.

We're swiftly moving towards a cislunar civilization.
I have a pet theory that this is actually the main mechanism by which the EU gains power over time; anytime a grown up decision needs to be made, it's upsourced to the EU level, so that local politicians can focus on the stuff that makes everybody happy (which by the nature of things tends to be inconsequential).
Narcissism. They like to hear themselves talk.
I don't get it. "SELECT 1" is significantly more informative than "SELECT red_herring". It's a self-documenting and automatically enforced comment telling you that the information requested by the SELECT statement is not used by the query.
Comprehensive. Seems surprising that Harvard is sitting at the absolute bottom of the list.
Which is weird because it's a perfectly simple and understandable word. Did they want to rephrase it to the more complex "Methode zur Ablenkung molekularer Strahlen"?
Absolutely! It seems like searching for evidence to fit a conclusion, rather than the scientific approach of trying to disprove a hypothesis.
It’s clear that 500 people didn’t die from this. Which feels ugly to say, denying death figures in a bombing campaign which is clearly horrific and has killed thousands so far, but I just can’t imagine it. It’s kind of astounding that just by anchoring with the idea that this explosion killed 500 people, and the large eruption of fire (not indicative of an Israeli bomb, whether air burst or not), many many people have bought into this being a massive blast. It was not. Absolutely something achievable by a moderately sized rocket, possibly augmented by either rocket fuel or a diesel/oxygen tank on the ground.
I use Luau in my games and tools [1], and I recommend it. While I can't speak to transitioning to it from Lua, since I didn't do that, I can say that it's fast, stable, sandboxing just works (important for your use case), and it's very well supported and regularly updated.

For context, I first started using Luau as an experimental hack by integrating it with Unity. I mostly just wanted fast and simple hot reloading. I found myself writing more and more of it, and now I'm writing most of my code in it.

VS Code support is pretty good via the luau-lsp language server [2]. Type support for certain code patterns isn't great yet, but there are RFCs to improve this.

They're also quietly working on native code gen and JIT support, e.g. this PR from a few hours ago [3].

Overall, recommended! You're not crazy.
