Active noise cancellation is just destructive interference. It doesn't fundamentally require any sounds to be bouncing off surfaces, and mechanical isolation would be passive noise cancellation.

The main caveat to active noise cancellation is that you cannot construct a destructive interference pattern that cancels the noise everywhere. Creating destructive interference to cancel out the noise at your ears will unavoidably mean creating constructive interference somewhere else.

Doesn't even need to be in a lake. The Yukon is HUGE, covered in forest, and has a bunch of mountains. It's very easy for a plane wreck to be very hard to see in a gorge or among trees. Survey technology was very limited in 1950, and after a few seasons of plant growth, a debris field can become almost invisible from the air. And if it's in rough territory, nobody might ever come near it on the ground, or walk right past it without noticing.

These are the details that sorely need documenting in the emulation space.

With so many games that were ported across systems with a lot of varying capabilities, and quality of programming, we need good insight into what versions of the classics are best represented on what platform.

I stumbled across /v/s gaming recommendations and they are chock full of little tidbits like this that I can't find anywhere else.

Anyway, I was looking at amiga emulation and what is worthwhile pursuing on it (since home computer ports often involve the disk swapping and other headaches), and there wasn't a lot of info out there. You'd think a community as allegedly passionate as the Amiga people would have a lot of details on things like this.

Instead the last time I looked the recommendation was "Turrican II" which doesn't blow my doors off.

I believe it's caching the text as GPU texture and then accelerating only the compositing. That's also why you can't directly draw formatted text into a WebGL context. And for pages consisting mostly of static text, it's perfectly acceptable.

> If you have the power to cross the stars, surely taking off from a steep gravity well wouldn't be a problem.

Different problems entirely. You don't need a lot of thrust to get to high velocities. But you need a lot of thrust to leave a planets gravity well. On a planet, your thrust needs to win not only gravity, but also any atmospheric losses. E.g. on a 3g planet, you'd need thurst in excess of 3g's to leave.

But to reach say 0.25c, a tiny ion engine over a long enough time would suffice. an engine that wouldn't even get you off of earth.
Venus loses a lot of material, too.

One of the reasons Venus still has a dense atmosphere is because its atmosphere is mostly composed of a relatively heavy compound, CO2, which is harder to lose than lighter gases like H2, N2, and O2.

Interestingly, development of rockets has only made a bunch of the things you mention cheaper (to the multiple orders of magnitude), not impossible.

Eg. determining location through radio signal triangulation can tell you a location pretty well, but would require placing a lot of signal stations throughout the world. Eg. remember the time-synchronisation mechanisms for watches through AM signals (including in hand watches).

Similarly, we did build a global communications network by placing expensive undersea cables across the world, but systems like StarLink are much cheaper (once you get to economies of scale for launching satellites).

So, like many things, rockets have accellerated discovery and progress, but are ultimately not the be-all solution: they work in tandem with the rest of science and engineering (including cultural development).
What's that expression about those who don't learn lessons from the past are doomed to repeat them. A lot of new technology becomes like that eventually, that which they were trying to get away from.

By the time those new technologies have repeated the mistakes, a newer technology is emerging to eventually repeat that mistake too. Our collective attention span isn't great.

I don't know if it's possible to appreciate Turrican 2 if you didn't play it back in the day, but it was really good at the time and I remember it fondly. In this instance, it was on several platforms but the Amiga version was the definitive one by a mile. The inflection point was probably 1992, anything after that is likely better on other platforms. Much higher clock speeds and more memory become unbeatable once VGA and Soundblaster became the norm. Also check out Final Fight and Street Fighter 2 on the Amiga and compare to the SNES, it's embarrassing. And I loved the Amiga dearly...

As Amazon's sadistic PIP practices are well-documented, I wouldn't immediately blame the employee - or the boss even. The system itself is to blame, and it is working as designed.
> Is this a legacy thing or does a tilted cursor serves a purpose?

It's not just a question of historical fact. There's where it originated from. Then there are the documented reasons they first did it that way. Then the undocumented but plausible reasons it started that way. Then there are the reasons it has stayed this way. Those reasons aren't facts, they're counterfactuals.

Implicit in asking why the mouse cursor is like this is asking why it isn't a different way. If there was a better enough cursor, it would have won out. So all of its reasons of functionality, even the ones the inventor didn't think of or didn't matter historically, are part of why it is the way it is today.

Ask HN: Those of you little children. How do you spend your weekends?
I am trying to make the most of my weekends with my family. We have all our meals together with dinner typically at a restaurant. We try and fit a couple of nature walks every weekend. Rest of the time we just spend time at home not doing anything in particular. After the kids are in bed my wife and I might watch a show or a movie. Sometimes I stay up later by myself and read or watch something.

I’m trying to add some variety so look forward to hearing your ideas.

This is my main complaint with the design. Comfort is king for things you wear on your face, and a lot of the design decisions compromise comfort. If I was designing v2 I would delete the external facing display and glass cover, move all processing to the battery, and ship a rigid strap.

None of the arguments against putting the processor in the battery make any sense. It adds latency? No it doesn't, if designed correctly, and I guarantee you can fit the correct design in the budget for $3500. You can't cool it from inside a pocket? The wire is sticking out already, you could add a short air intake to it. It would be too big? I guarantee that size is easier to carry in the battery than on your literal face!

The only thing that makes sense to me is the battery was supposed to be internal and the external battery was a last minute compromise for comfort. Unfortunately I suspect that Apple will go the direction of moving the battery back in for v2 rather than moving processing out.
I paid for the service. When it works for a specific bit of boilerplate code or section of obvious code, its handy.

I grew up with a C64, which I loved. But my Dad would tell me stories about the Amiga, and we'd go look at one in the neighborhood computer store (Software Etc.—loved that place!). The store clerk was more than happy to show off the machine to us. And we'd dream about how someday we'd get one.

But by the time that day came, the writing was on the wall, and we bought an IBM 486 25mhz from Sears.

I feel like we dodged a bullet. But, at the same time, I get a sort of warm, fuzzy nostalgia every time the Amiga comes up. It was my future dream computer.

I love reading articles like this. It's a window into a path I was almost on.

And I really loved my C64. It's sad somehow that the PC won... In the mid 80s, the PC was so uninspiring compared to the other home systems, at least to a kid who liked colorful games and wild sounds.
I always thought it is obvious - it was done so that it will be well visible on predictable background patterns. Otherwise (if it would be a clean vertical, horizontal, 45 degree design) it would easily "hide" in plain sight, sticking to grids, window borders. Blend in too easily.
As a hobby comic creator I think the “paper” medium itself still has unexplored narrative devices.

Genuinely read "Futurama Projections" and figured the same. This doesn't sound real (though I fully trust it is, just sounds funny).
Without reading everything there is on the subject, I'd guess it's tilted for the same reason it's tilted to the left.

Humans are tool makers and tool users. After enough time the tool becomes an extension of the body, even if the tip of the tool is mechanically or virtually detached from the hand that is controlling it. The tool maker designed this as a right-handed tool, coming into the frame in the right hand.

If the reason for the tilt direction was not this, then there would be no reason why it shouldn't tilt the other way. If you're right handed, try a right-leading cursor . It doesn't just look wrong, it feels wrong because it looks like a tool held in the left hand.

Does this have an effect on left-handed people? Perhaps. I'm left handed and it always felt wrong to use the mouse in my left hand. Is it because of the direction of the tilt? Who knows!
> Cloverfield Lane and Cloverfield Paradox are just 2 movies where he attaches a random scene at the end to tie them into the Cloverfield universe

That is exactly what it is supposed to be. Think of it like The Twilight Zone, every story is different but they all exist in a world that is distinct and unnatural.

I think JJ Abrams finally came up with a good way of explaining it to people: "It’s like Cloverfield is the amusement park, and each of these movies is a different ride in that park."
I don't get how this was so important on shopping on Amazon otherwise - in 10+ years of ordering I never felt the need for Prime, for small items I just waited a bit to get over the free shipping limit.

This is a nice writeup, but the definition and usage of determinant makes my nails curl.

A determinant is defined for matrices, not for vectors and from the purpse of your article I think you skipped over that part for simplicty/brevity.
But really, introducing it once properly, then going to the more pragmatic definition of yours aknowledging that it is skipping some parts would be so much better for someone not knowing this field in depth. Or just not calling it determinant. And mentioning that determinants show a sort of scale factor of transformation, also for 3D, would be nice to connect to 3D rendering and such.

Since it is meant as intro/tutorial on implementation I would really point into all the right math-relates directions as a reference. Whoever wants, can read or skip those parts.
The gut feeling is that the guy was working hard but not smart enough. You can achieve positive results with this amount of work hours, but the outcome might not be in line with the teamwork or expected quality.
