Hmmm, I don't know what's this about "actual metric". Is it "sufficient" for simple projects? Sure. Is it as good as Electron in terms of UX, and look/feel? No, it's not even close. Because Electron is doing native rendering.

Let me try to explain a different way:

- You are saying that native is better. Sure. UX is better, look and feel is better, rendering, accessibility (in most cases), consistency, configurability.

- Electron leverages native for a lot of functionality, so it is able to provide good quality. With light styling and semantic tags, it will use a lot of native functionality and will look exactly like the OS.

- Game engines can't use native to the extent that Electron does, because the rendering model is fundamentally different (as explained in one of the links), so it must use libraries that don't exactly have the look/feel/quality of native and must simulate it. It doesn't get as far from native than that.

> It’s weird that you say “nothing to level of electron and therefore must start from scratch”.

But this is true. There is currently nothing close to Electron accessibility in the game world. I'm not talking about base-level accessibility. Check the kind of accessibility provided by browser engines and operating systems, and you'll see it is a lot of work already cut out for developers.

Are there libraries? Of course there are, I never disputed that. I actually managed to sneak a few commits and opened a few issues in AccessKit, which is a Rust accessibility library that can be integrated with game engines. But it's still early days compared to what Electron can do.

Browser accessibility is actually really great, and it's virtually automatic for developers. I would say that only Apple has as good/simple accessibility as browsers.

Noone has forgot a thing just aren't clowns like you who think businesses are some substitute god who can't be beat. Fidelity doesn't "hold" the transactions. Transactions to be relevant MUST be broadcast to the network and if this doesn't happen then the blockchain plods along as if they didn't happen.

Which is the lesson Star Trek has been learning over the last several years. Play to the fandom, and grow the fandom over time.

Making a thing into a different thing, unsurprisingly, alienates the people that pay you money for the first thing.

That doesn't mean that these IPs (and their fandoms) can't evolve, but you need to tell good stories that respect the universe they are set in.

> A trip to India or any other third-world country would quickly change that attitude.

I don't suggest telling someone who just lost their job that they should keep a stiff upper lip. I certainly don't suggest you tell them that they should spend some time in a "third-world country" because, well, for one thing, that's rather crass.

But, also, I don't think you quite understand what "third-world" means. It's not based on economic status. It's based on NATO / Warsaw Pact neutrality. Any use beyond that is pejorative at best. Perhaps you mean a "developing nation" or an "economically disadvantaged" nation. Even then, it's complicated.
What's really interesting is former democrats of color voting for the one guy that if he really got into power would try to turn the USA into the next installment of the white power movement. How people can make this mistake over and over again is something that really puzzles me, people that directly vote against their best interest. It's not as if Trump has been subtle about it with all of his dog whistling. And the dogs came running.

If I can't use the vehicle without needing to carry a working cellular-connected computer running a specific operating system in my pocket and/or having a specific category of bank card, that's a hard 'no' for me. Either have the car negotiate payment with the charging network or give me the option of handing currency to a person at a register. Otherwise I insist on a dino car.

What a load of rubbish... Your entire argument hinges on what you consider 'fair compensation' and your value judgement about energy cost. Guess what--living your life and using resources is not unethical
There's an entire south park episode devoted to that very topic. Why would mentioning it be bold, or obscuring it not be bold?
China, a country with the biggest industrial GDP (ie not services or agriculture), spent 15 years on R&D to deliver so far only 4 airframes of an airliner that is technically behind comparable Boeing and Airbus airliners.

So not really a contradiction unless you are reading it too literally.
As I saw it, still think this is in reverse. Twitch as an org was running at a loss and had some tech and network that could be packed up and sold to enterprises.

AWS, which is the B2B side of the house, resells this as IVS, take some % to pay for sales and integration. Twitch makes a profit on IVS, but IVS alone doesn’t pay Twitch bills. Now the Twitch org runs less of a loss.

This is pure partnership play. With the advantage that the partner is in-house, integrated on the marketplace and can rely on the house sales team as well.

I don’t believe that the tech is not profitable. It’s just that the business of making ad-supported B2C profitable is hard.

If I were to guess, I’d say AWS IVS customers are a really tiny % of Twitch’s traffic, but are the most profitable.

I'm having a hard time seeing much use for new nuclear power plants at the costs they would realistically have (vs. sales pitch costs you hear from nuclear vendors before they confront reality and fail.)
> high load ratios

A ratio has a numerator and a denominator. I can run some fancy software and get (data rate / nominal network bandwidth) to be some value. But the denominator is a function of the network. I can get a few tens of 10Gbps links all connected together with a non-gold-plated nonblocking switch that’s fairly inexpensive (and even cheaper in the secondary market!), and each node can get, say, 50% of 10Gbps out as long as no node gets more than, say, 50% of 10Gbps in. That’s the load ratio.

Or I can build a non-gold-plated network where each rack is like this and each rack has a 100Gbps uplink to a rather more expensive big switch for the whole pile of racks, and it works until I run out of ports on that big switch, as long as each rack doesn’t try to exceed the load ratio times 100Gbps in aggregate. Maybe this is okay for some use case, but maybe not. Netflix would certainly not be happy with this for their content streaming nodes.

But this all starts to break down a bit with really large networks, because no one makes switches with enough ports. So you can build a gold plated network that actually gets each node its full 10Gbps, or you can choose not to. Regardless, this isn’t cheap at AWS scale. (But it may well be cheap at AWS scale, amortized per node.)

And my point is that egress does not add meaningful cost here. A 10Gbps egress link costs exactly as much, in internal network terms, as a compute or object storage node with a 10Gbps link. For an egress node, it costs whatever 10Gbps of egress transit or peering costs plus the amortized internal network cost, and a compute node costs whatever the cost of the node, space, power, cooling, maintenance etc costs, plus that internal network link.

So I think there is no legitimate justification for charging drastically more for egress than for internal bandwidth, especially if the cost is blamed on the network cost within the cloud. And the costs of actual egress in a non-hyperscaler facility aren’t particularly secret, and they are vastly less than what the major clouds charge.

Advertising, the entire industry, exists to convince you to buy something you don't want, hence why you have to be talked into it, through psychological manipulation, preying on your insecurities, repetition via repeat ad exposure, and insane amounts of money and testing to build brand recognition and create biases to certain companies dubbed "brand loyalty"... so, there is no such thing as ethical advertising.

Advertising is psychological manipulation at scale and it's effective. How does one ethically manipulate someone into doing something they wouldn't do if not influenced to do so? Ethical advertising can't exist, the same way two masses can't occupy the same point in space at the same time.

There are multiple reasons I can imagine why that might be, but I would love to see some citations for this so I have solid data I can confidently adjust my world view with.

My opinion is that insurance companies are middlemen who too frequently rob patients & providers alike, and I would expect any reasonable legislation to include provisions to ensure that being a doctor is still financially attractive.

Coming around full circle, the cost of malpractice insurance is now so high that it's become a significant barrier to entry for anyone trying to start a new medical office, and I think that should be addressed as well.
I don't know, but it will include...

A million for each main voice actor

$100k for supporting actors

Orchestral score (not many people can do those)

$50k per licensed song

Work on the "game engine" that supports the film (each film used to break technical ground... Fur in monsters Inc, hair in the Incredibles, etc)

Motion capture, clay modelling, 3D modelling, rigging, animating... everybody needs a studio quality machine and display...

The only thing I feel confident isn't a big chunk of the cost is the actual rendering.

I don't love looking for gas stations before returning a vehicle, but I know I can find one within a few minutes, they will pretty much always be "functional" and available, and it will take only a few minutes to fill up.

With an EV, I might have to go 10+ minutes out of my way (doubled for roundtrip), they might not work, and they might be full. And if I have to return with 80% charge or higher, it could easily take 30 mins or more of charging.

Also, it's really easy for the rental place to see exactly what percent you returned it with. In gas cars, as long as you're in the ballpark of "full" you're usually good to go, partly because there's not an easy way for the rental clerk to tell exactly how many gallons are in the tank.

Wow! The golden 10 years (or the roaring 10s?) clearly are coming to the end. Welcome to the rusting 20s.
I don't know why you're being downvoted. Strong labor protections and a generous social safety net with the goal of making it so that being fired isn't the end of the world would be a huge net positive for the labor market. Guilt free firing means you can allocate labor efficiently where it's actually needed specifically because you're not dealing with people's livelihoods.

And right now our social safety net for situations like this is built into unemployment insurance, we should expand it.
I was living in a building that converted to "smart" locks (not Latch) in the middle of my lease. It was horrible. It mostly worked but, it added daily frustration and friction. There was almost no benefit for me and it all went to the landlord. There is a record of every time I entered my apt that I'm not in control of. It made it harder for delivery people because the complex already had an intercom system and now I had to give directions to two different systems to successfully deliver.

It was one of the main drivers for me to move out. I will never rent an apt with a system like that again. Now I know to ask if they have "smart" locks and will avoid them like the insecure plague they are.

They also had some wireless box that communicated with my apt lock that I had to put in my apt, connect it to my wifi, and use my power, all without any compensation.

I know ahead of time that what I am about to say, will result in me getting yelled at by the HN crowd that what I am saying is anecdotal and all that. But, after refraining for a while, I guess I have to say something so, I know you will down vote me because this is not based on a scientific A-B test blah blah. Cool.

People's lives are at risk. And No, I DO NOT work for Boeing and never have. I work for a company that makes a product that does not involve any risk to people's lives, we make a dumb thing.

I live in Seattle, and yeah, I know a lot of people who currently do, or have worked for Boeing. So, yes, this is not a scientific study, again, down vote button is in the lower left over there. Have fun with that.

But from what I have heard, there is something "wrong" at Boeing. And yeah, this is not scientific, got it.

But, from my, unscientific study, that plant in Renton seems to be especially problematic and it sounds like from what I have heard, the Renton operation where the Max 9 and all the other Max N's are were made, there is something especially "wrong:' there. I just cannot NOT say something.

It seems like there is a pattern here, I know this is all anecdotal and all that. But it seems like that particular operation has a management problem that is putting peoples lives at risk.

Oh god please don't exaggerate with 'survive the coming storm' when it comes to Google. They make like 60 B in profit each year.

Tuya devices are available in Zigbee for about $5, and the Zigbee versions have no way to phone home.

The nice thing is you can:

2) Three PIR presence sensors ($10)

3) Fancy Sonoff Zigbee USB device ($20)

4) Three RGB-CCCW lightbulbs ($15)

5) Three or four temperature/humidity monitors ($15)

And you're at the $100 mark with a basic smart home without breaking the bank, with a good path to upgrade if you like it.

I don't care for Elon Musk but Teslas are by far the best all around EV experience when considering road tripping.

That was true when we got our 2018 Model 3, and when we got our 2022 Model Y, and likely will be until full NACS adoption.

Will I consider another EV brand? Sure, but I also enjoy the Tesla infotainment and driving experience.
Thats a bit of a pessimistic if realistic take. Advertising in its ideal form is meant to inform you of something that could improve your life (happiness, productivity, health, etc...). It could conceivably be "let the consumer know that our product solves their problems that competitors can't solve or for a cheaper cost." Of course, cutting corners leads to more profits for less effort, so that's what often happens.

Ethically speaking, ads simply shouldn't be manipulating us at all, just informing us of something that might be useful.

I live in Vietnam. Population 100 million. More than any country in Europe. It is not popular here. Or anywhere in Southeast Asia -- population 660 million -- from what I can tell.

I mean, it is popular in the way any big budget, CGI spectacular is popular. But it's not this big cultural thing it is in the US or Europe. Nobody cares in the slightest what the next Star Wars movie will be about or how the IP is doing. They think of Rogue One in the same way they think of Train to Busan. A fun enough foreign movie they watched that one time a few years ago.

Sometime in 2023 Alaska Airlines completed their efforts to sell off all their Airbus and Bombardier Q400 aircraft. Alaska acquired Virgin America and its all-Airbus fleet in 2016, and the Q400s were from their Horizon Air operations. The company sold the Airbus aircraft to American and retired the Bombardiers.

The reason given at the time was the desire to simplify maintenance and parts logistics.

Now Alaska's fleet is all 737, a mix of MAX and NG models. The MAX is about a quarter of their fleet, so the current grounding has hurt them.
