Louder than a clicky mechanical keyboard? Doubt it.
Absolutely not. It can do a lot of things but any interpreted language is going to run at a snail's pace, especially not one designed specifically for the C64.

Each game really needs to be written in isolation in assembly to work round the limitations, e.g. some might need a sprite multiplexor, some might not.
I'm in this situation right now. How would one go about solving this?

To keep this simple, I'm thinking exporting just the necessary data from each db and inserting that to a stats db (having a source column to each table, referring to the original db). Then load the stats db with Metabase or something.

Migrations on the stats db may be a bit of a pain, as well as making sure that all data is exported and imported correctly every time.

I'm sure there are better ideas.

Gosh lovely! I actually had this idea about 35 years ago. I was thinking about a set-up consisting of one camera in a room with transparent plastic sheets hanging from the ceiling under an angle of 45° with respect to the camera and with some large TVs such that the light would reflect towards the camera. The idea was that the wind or people moving the transparent plastic sheets would change the final result. Or that there was some means to rotated the TVs. I had this idea for a technology and art exhibition that was held several time in the late eighties at the university I was studying at.

Some information I have collected about these exhibitions, called TARt festivals, based on the university weekly magazine, can be found at: https://www.iwriteiam.nl/TARt.html
Duly noted. I shall add a trigger warning next time for the snowflakes who are offended by inappropriate words.
No they weren't? Look at the graph in my source. In any case, sure, start in 1965; tomatoes cost $0.85 and minimum wage was $1.25, so your purchasing power was even better by comparison to today.
> Yes, you could try convincing a very good friend or family member to lend you their street address if you really can't or won't pay for a place of residence yourself.

In what way is that leeching? I would have no problem letting a family member do that.
iPostal1 has you covered there. You get a real address (not a PO Box) that is accepted by just about everyone. The postage company behind that address can scan documents for you and even forward your packages somewhere else. You can even get a phone # with them. $9.99/mo excluding package pickups and other operations.

I have been using them for three years now and really like them.
> If you have a large library, surely it's better to properly break it up into separate files?!

Sqlite solves this dilemma by providing both: regular source code repository with separate files for development and an "amalgamation" with everything in a single .c file. The latter makes it really easy to integrate.
Motorola 68060 Revisions and External Masks – a reference guide
It was Age Of Empires 2, I had a EU copy. I bet there are some interesting stories regarding that port, too.

AFAIK the user interface for the win9x version was drawn using native GDI windows library, and yet the PS2 version, using a completely different rendering framework and architecture, sported the very same appearance, font glitches and all. I wonder if they actually wrote an emulation layer around that.
Sounds like slavery with extra steps. Surely some type of universal basic income would be more practical and less open to abuse.

That’d depend on how many of these cards you need to get the same perf as an A100. Most of the results being shown are batch 1 (use the cards to serve 1 user). But in practice you’d use a single A100 to serve thousands of users concurrently (you can’t do that with the Gaudi 2 though).

The article measures that Gaudi 2 is competitive at “latency for batch size 1”, but that isn’t really a metric anyone cares about.

So Intel would need to sell these for much less than half, and then perf per watt would need to be much better (the article measures that it is currently worse than A100).

Comparing these things is hard, “if Intel were to sell these” is already speculation, since they aren’t on sale.

The article is right that perf per dollar is better, but that’s only because Intel is not making money out of these. As a user that’s a red flag, because if that continues these will be discontinued, and then any investment I do right now in supporting these in my SW stack goes to waste.
Ask HN: Small-batch builds of smaller phyiscal objects
I am prototyping a certain accessory for my BBQ grill. Stainless steel hardware piece, not very complicated, but made out of several parts. Got the CAD drawings and now trying to understand how to fabricate it. Most likely will need to do several revisions to fine-tune things, so there's that too.

I'd guess there's gotta be some services (in China?) that got this need covered. Anyone has any experience with this sort of thing? Any tried and tested companies?

Thanks!

Pocketbase is amazing! So far I had a great experience using it as a backend/database for the app I'm building where I'm using React with Vite for the frontend. I'm using it mainly for auth and for keeping track of paid and free accounts. Some things that I found rather useful:

- It's super easy to host. I was initially thinking of using Appwrite or Supabase but found it a tricky to self-host them, especially Supabase. I could spin up Appwrite quickly via CapRover, but found it an overkill for what I needed.

- View collections [1] make it easy to return just a subset of the data that you need. In my case I'm using a view collection as a join for users and paid_users collections, where I just return their paid through date.

- The fact that you can extend it with Go or JS [2] should make it possible to completely skip having a backend, at least if your needs aren't very complex.

I definitely plan to continue using it for some smaller/side projects. Currently I'm thinking of trying to use it as CMS for an Astro blog and in the future as backend for some browser extensions.

> if the US government had a full employment program.

Like the US Military? Do you mean we should get some of the old anti-black laws on the books outlawing being unemployed?

> allocate them to something useful, possibly at cost.

I don't think the average person is ok with the government spending $5 to has a task done that will immediately require spending $20 to undo it and another $25 for somebody to do it correctly. People can do negative work. There's often a reason the private sector has passed over people for employment.

> a country of subsidized housing and scarce jobs would still be a pretty sad place

I don't think that would happen. There's a reason Amazon wanted to build HQ2 at NYC & NOVA; there's a ton of people here that could work for them. While people move for jobs; people also build factories/office parks where they can employ people.

Although it could be the case that people taking subsidized housing don't have the skill set Amazon is looking for so there may be a limit to what job opportunities they have in the nearby area. And of course Amazon isn't interested in running a training program into SWE when they can just hire people who paid for it themselves (college).

That's not willpower at all.

I have to do things I don't want to do all the time. Once I am in the mindset, it is trivial to just continue it. If I go to sleep, it is easily lost and takes hours to recover. Therefore, the easiest way to do it, is to simply not go to sleep and stay up for another two hours and ruin my sleep. It's very easy, zero willpower is needed. Willpower is completely overrated.

People who talk about willpower don't actually use it, they pretend that whatever they do requires a lot of willpower or demonstrates their willpower to make themselves look good.

I've Built a PDF API

If you're interested in popularity, versus change in popularity, see the "Very Long Term History" section of the website. The consistent winner is C, which was the ranked number 1 or 2 in each of the eight report pentads. C# seems to be settling into the number 5 or 6 spot.

Working with differences can be tricky. So can working with ranks. Luckily, the site provides an interactive graph of index versus time for various languages, so readers can make their own decisions.

I'm not sure I care what is popular to the general community. I use multiple languages in my work, different ones for different things. Fortran and Scratch are like hammers and screw drivers: they are both handy, just for different things. The same for many of the languages in the listing.

If you are willing to pay over $100 for a keyboard, then the existence of Microsoft keyboards becomes irrelevant, otherwise they have been a very useful option for many.

> A party intended to send a test transaction to that address with a tiny amount (there are many such payments). But they are using some awful tool that makes them manually manage the payment, change, and fees amounts and they manage to pay the amount that should have been change to the destination and send the amount they intended to pay as fees. (The transaction has no change)

Hehe, reminds me of the Fat finger trade when a stock trader wanted to buy 100,000 units, but there was a built in multiplier (factor 1000) in his trading tool that resulted in a 100,000,000 units order worth a whopping $10.8bn. But that error only created a damage of $300,000 for the bank.

I'm of the opinion that politicians above a certain level (in the UK: prime minister, members of Parliament and maybe mayors) should just get a permenant annuity for the rest of their lives on the condition that they can't make money from anything else, ever. No stocks, no "speaking engagements" or do nothing bribery jobs. It would be expensive yes, but cheaper than the cost of corruption. Maybe have the value of the annuity be based of rank, MP gets 300k/y and PM gets 500k/y.
It's interesting that Chinese researchers are reliant on UK health data sets.

FWIW, bitfinex was willing to buy the coins back on what they claimed was a no-fault basis and even put a significant amount of coins into third party escrow for that purpose.

Back in the early days of Bitcoin... Zhou-tong, after robbing his own business (Bitcoinica) blind, did something kind of like what you were suggesting -- raining down coins on random people and creating general chaos. I think it was more mania and panic rather than a well considered strategy.

I think in general you don't see stuff like that through a mix of (1) it's less easy than you think, and (2) thoughtful people don't become serious thieves in the first place, it's not worth it.
"it’s hard to imagine how [Figma and Photoshop for web] could work without JavaScript" is a bit of a strawman
According to this chart https://injuryfacts.nsc.org/home-and-community/safety-topics... buses and trains have 0.02 to 0.04 deaths per 100,000,000 miles travelled. This compares to 0.01 deaths in the commercial aviation. So pretty much on par, but if you switched to deaths per hours of travel, which is IMHO better statistic, assuming that a average plane flights say 10 times faster than a bus/train (800km/h vs 80km/h which seems reasonable) then the commercial aviation is actually less safe, but not by a big margin either, within the same order of magnitude.

This reminded me of a late-1990s Taiwanese RPG by DOMO Studio called "Tun Town" (I'm not sure if it was translated into English...), in which the main plot was a fictional town drilling too much into a volcano to tap energy eventually caused it to erupt.

Not sure how scientifically sound that was lol
Eliza's meant to us to be an illustration of the problem. In good old fashioned AI sentiment, it illustrates the fact that you need another if statement for every new kind of construct you want to simulate. But you deign to simulate each thing, like say turning a verb into a gerund, by writing a specific "gerundification" routine. Another to swap the Mes to Yous, etc. this isn't how people think nor most modern AI. This is totally different from just looking at the world distilling patterns from it and using those patterns as the basis for a response. To teach a modern AI new stuff, you don't have to write another if statement. They have similar intentions and at some resolution or distance, they are trying to do similar things. However, they work and totally different ways and the new dynamic generative AI strategy that learns from input as opposed to just symbolically transforming it syntactically is a totally different paradigm. I don't care whether you call it AI or not.
It’s definitely not ergonomic, but very portable. I have it as a backup pointer just in case.

Been enjoying using PocketBase with Astro + htmx + Alpine
In Europe there are some people who buy lands for which you cannot have a building permit: they're way, way, way cheaper that lands on which you can build a house. As in: they can be 20x or 30x cheaper or maybe even more.

Then they park their own car / RV / caravan/trailer on it. This way it's extremely hard for authorities to kick them out.

Bonus if you can get a family member or someone from your community buy the land for you: that way even if you own money to the state, the land cannot be seized.

It's extremely common in the gypsy community, for example (now that nomadism is getting more and more complicated).

FWIW my father (who wasn't a gypsy but who was totally broke) used to live, for years, in a caravan on a plot of land owned by someone he knew. It was bad, but not hobo-bad. He had an old totally beaten up and ultra high-mileage Mercedes car, gypsy style (gypsies love old Mercedes cars).

His friend was renting, for pennies and illegally, the rest of his plot of land to actual gypsies.

P.S: nowadays my brothers and I are helping our father, who now lives in an apartment

To clarify for those that may have missed it -

These satellites mimic 5G so most existing 5G phones should be compatible without additional hardware.

The beams are REALLY low bandwidth (7MB per beam and the beams are “very big”), and that bandwidth is shared with the whole beam. You will only use this for emergencies, at least for now.

The point will be to expand coverage in areas that it may be difficult to add coverage. It won’t replace or augment regular towers.

It will only allow texting later this year, and they expect to scale up to voice and data next year as well as IOT - whatever that means since they broke it out separately.
> things like cherry-picking a merge commit wouldn't make any sense, while they still make perfect sense and are easy to explain with the "commit is a snapshot" mental model

IMO it makes just as much sense either way. When cherry-picking a merge commit you have to specify which parent to diff against, which could just as easily be explained in terms of diffs (i.e. which part of an n-way diff to apply).

> it's easy to develop a wrong mental model of the repository - a model that most people operate on, but which will bite you sooner or later. That's exactly why so many people end up being confused with Git

This doesn't match my experience (as "that guy that people go to for git help"). Perhaps you have a concrete example.

Just to be clear, i'm not advocating for teaching or believing that git works in a way that it doesn't, that would be silly. More that being able to think about it in different (equivalent) ways in different situations is helpful.

> Stop trying to defend the view that corporations are somehow beholden to the public just because the public sometimes buys things some of them sell.

I never made that claim and wouldn't defend it. I was arguing that consumers collectively have some power over corporations via their wallets. Consumers can choose not to fly on commercial airlines, or specifically not to take flights on certain models of plane. I never said anything about them being beholden to the public, only the dollar.

> They may be driven by money, but they are not mandated to take any course of action because of it.

That's not true for publicly traded companies, they are legally obligated to do what is best for their shareholders. Obviously no one can predict the future so they only do what they believe is best and can get it wrong, like Zuckerberg seems to have done with the metaverse bet.
