There’s a VSCode plugin for PICO-8 that lets you use that. It ties in with the core and has hot keys to launch the current code to test it.

I find it way easier/faster than using the built-in IDE for the code part itself. Then just use the built-in IDE for assets/music.
What world are you living in? Web apps are literally 100+ times faster to start using, much easier to share, much easier to market, and you can offer much cheaper services as apple doesn't take a large cut of payments.

It's not that recycling plastic is 100% a "sham". Recycled plastic is real, and products made from recycled plastic are real. The "sham" is that recycling plastic is not efficient. Still marginally better than straight into a landfill.

Even with the changes to RHEL licensing, Red Hat developers are still encouraged to upstream changes before landing them in Fedora (and in turn, before landing them in CentOS stream and ultimately RHEL). Nearly every developer at Red Hat working on RHEL will do work in the public, on OSI-licensed packages upstream, before landing changes in RHEL.

The change to RHEL licenses is not around source availability of the packages themselves, that has not and cannot change by Red Hat's hand. And it is a risk to Red Hat's business to heavily (internally) diverge packages from upstream as it makes future updates harder.

Is it a good move? Many think not. But that doesn't change the vast amount of upstream (OSI-licensed) work that Red Hat directly or indirectly sponsors, past RHEL into their JBoss and OpenShift orgs as well.
Yes, that's a very valid point, the Western countries in the EU do not properly value the input from their Eastern colleagues on these matters. It's a very annoying thing. I have spent a good chunk of my life East of Berlin both before and after the wall came down and I have zero illusions about the situation at the moment. The question is how long it will take the rest of Europe to wake up to the new reality and it is incredible how lax the response has been so far. You'd think that they would get the message by now but all we get is half-assed measures.

What "original community" are you referring to here? Are we talking about the free software movement that Richard Stallman founded, or the Open Source Initiative that forked off of the movement in an effort to be more friendly to businesses?

It's a bit ironic that people now wax lyrical about the "true meaning" of Open Source when the OSI described their origin like this (emphasis added):

> The conferees decided it was time to dump the moralizing and
confrontational attitude that had been associated with "free software"
in the past and sell the idea strictly on the same pragmatic,
business-case grounds that had motivated Netscape. They brainstormed
about tactics and a new label. "Open source", contributed by Chris
Peterson, was the best thing they came up with.

For people into sex bots and crypto scams it's a massive improvement, in fact.
There are a lot of people for whom everything Musk touches is the worst thing ever created, then a lot of people for whom everything he touches is gold, then some people who just like a pretty reasonably stable social media site that's not overrun by bots and pay-for-engagement morons.

IMO it seems objectively true that the bot problem is worse than it's ever been. It's definitely objectively true that boosting paid-for comments above organically high-engagement comments means your signal:noise ratio is way, way worse.
If cycling were safer and a more realistic option in regards to city layout, every walk of life would be cycling. It's a chicken and egg problem, lack of infra means cycling sucks for normal people, so no cyclists except roadies. No cyclists means no push for infra, no advocates.

Engineers deal with more than just functional design requirements. There were also undoubtably other requirements pertaining to manufacturing, cost, and cosmetics which were a factor here. If cost and manufacturing weren't a factor, they could have just CNC'd the panels out of very fancy stainless grades that are a pain to stamp and cost a lot.
Thanks. I wonder which mode works best in linux?

But regardless, when a product chases the mac crowd it makes me think it's probably overpriced or sacrificed functionality for the sake of design.

hello! i have a question that's been bugging me for a hot sec and thought hn might know

why is no one using zapier? everyone i talk to says that they have at least one very important task to automate, and when i ask why they don't use zapier, everyone says idk

i understand from an intuitive place that zapier is not good ux, which begs the question what would you like your ideal automation software to look like?

is it no-code?
is it low-code?
is it fully code?
something else entirely?
That's because Gavin Newsom called up Roger Goodell in what was a perfect phone call, and demanded: "What I want to do is this. I just want to find, uh, four points, which is one more than we have, because we won the game."
No, it's not - that's the point of the Universal Windows Platform - compile once, put in store, run everywhere.

This also isn't just about new platforms. If you have a desktop operating system and want to change the behavior of an API in a future version, you have to do this same process.

>If you want to be able to make a living off it, you're suddenly going to be in a very, very flooded market.

That is, I believe, GPs point.
I think this is one of those areas where a competitor buying you can make sense. Either your product is attractive to higher margin customers, at which point they are buying into a higher end market, or your product is part of the low-end, and by buying you out and shutting you down, they hope to convert some of your lower margin customers to higher margin customers, and let some of your high-maintenance customers go bother one of your mutual competitors (which is honestly the most Sun Tzu-ish, borderline Machiavellian, reason to fire a customer)
Apple are extensively tracking users, that's how they can know.
I would really like to know more about how they determine what is "fake" versus real.

> CHEQ monitors bots and fake users across the internet in order to minimize online ad fraud for its clients. Tytunovich's company accomplishes this by tracking how visitors from different sources, such as X, interact with a client's page after they click one of their links. The company can also tell when a bot is passing itself off as a real user, such as when a fraudulent user is faking what type of operating system they are using to view a website.

This does not seem anywhere near foolproof, and seems like it would have a small sample pool to analyze. It seems to me the overwhelming majority of bots are not following links... meaning they are sampling only a specific type of bot behavior and attempting to extrapolate that to the entire platform. That seems fallible.

Additionally, the compared sites are not... comparable. It's not fair to compare twitter with Mashable, TikTok, Instagram, or even Facebook. The type of community is different, and the type of content is different. Twitter is much more of a broadcasting/informational platform (ie. shouting into the wind) and therefore lends itself to bot accounts a lot more than your average Facebook account, for instance.

This is why for years the Twitter API (aka. "Firehose") has been such a contentious issue and other social platforms like Facebook's have not.
"Russia is doing what they've always done and always will do."

Do you think those stereotypes are really helpful in understanding geopolitics? Traditionally what russia has always done(after it conquered its east), was being invaded, loosing lots of land, let the invader bleed out in the winter and then push back and win new territories.

Then russia as a monarchy was quite different to the sowjet union, the result of a marxist revolution with marxist agenda. And russia after the sowjet union was first weak and now they try to find strength in the traditional empire values again, religion and tsar. But it is not a given, that they will keep that, only if it works out for them. I hope it doesn't.
I tried to characterize this on Zen 2 a little while ago[^1], although I don't think that implementation has anything to do with unused physical registers: it ultimately relies on the idea that the store queue (48 entries on Zen 2) is an extra set of storage locations. During renaming, you try to look up a store queue entry with some of the operands (ie. a register and some of the displacement bits).

It seems like only the youngest six stores are ever eligible for renaming on Zen 2. I'd love to know how this has changed on Zen 3/4, but I don't have any newer machines to play with.

> I've learned this as "swallowing errors" and IMO it's a poor practice

This is not swallowing errors. This, in the Linux parlance, is not breaking user-space.

There are two ways to handle the situation presented: error out because the machine can never have printers or return an empty list of printers because the machine can never have printers. They're both valid but only one of them doesn't break user-space.
I suspect that only the true believers are left. There were _so_ many actions and warning signs over the last year I can’t imagine anyone thinking it was a good/stable place to work unless they really liked Musk.
Nothing happens to random people with no power, but if a legitimate threat to the status quo appeared, I don't think it would end up so peaceful.
I don’t think that it is about hands being clean or not clean. The wrapper on a disposable utensil is a kind of tamper evident “seal” attesting that this particular utensil hasn’t been used yet.

> Whatever font Twitter website uses, makes it impossible to visually see the difference.

Doesn’t it? When I view the profiles you listed (before that horrible login wall pops up), the ‘I’ is of the crossbar variety, and the ‘l’ has a finial, making the characters visibly different. In fact, I recall that Twitter started using that font (which also visually distinguishes 0 and O) after the Musk takeover as an anti‐spoofing measure. Spoofed usernames were completely impossible to detect before the font was changed.
NYT had some great articles too.

A lot of it is that every last bit of expertise is outsourced.. not just physical labor and renting equipment but even the project planning, management and oversight. You'd think given decades of capital programs lined up, the state would want to have their own planning/management/oversight staff so that interests are more aligned.

You can't pay yet another vendor to care about & enforce cost discipline upon all the other vendors you are paying..

You also can't discount antiquated union work rules & strong lobbying. NYC transit work sites are more heavily overstaffed compared even to the equivalent Paris transit project. "Our unions have more power than in France" is a pretty high bar. From having 3x the staffing on the Tunnel Boring Machine to minimum required union machine oilers on-site based on the level of hand oiling that 1970s equipment needed (far more).

It's like if IT's staffing / roles were frozen in time from the 1970s and we still paid someone to sort punchcards.

Agreed. I also think that human engineers have business context and domain experience that AI can’t yet replace. I see it as more of a tool to make SWE more productive.

Personal gains as in hoping to become the next dictator - he gambled and lost. Nothing more, nothing less. As I said, I don't believe anyone in russia wants to change the system on either political level or social level. From what I can see, (almost) everyone strives for this lifestyle. It's only a question of who comes out on top.

Is it possible that the kind of stainless steel selected was specifically chosen to be hard so that Musk could say it’s “literally bullet proof”, and this rusting is a consequence of that?

If so, you know there are mechanical and materials engineers who work at Tesla who were internally screaming during the WHOLE development process. Can you imagine the stress of being tasked with something so stupid?
isn't it a little more? I admit to just skimming and having a pretty incomplete grasp. but rather than implementing a spacio-temporal cache (lines over usage), this is explicitly trying to match producers and consumers of individual words.

so yes, like a cache, but it approached naming of values in a slightly different way.

two things bother me here. one is that we have the space for more registers, but we can't afford to pay for them in the instruction encoding. the other of course is the sad truth that hardware people need to innovate under the compiler instead of in cooperation with it.

on the first point, it seems like there may be other approaches to solving the naming issue. register windows was one. but maybe we can wire up producers and consumers more explicitly in the ISA?
It is still a tradeoff. It could be utilized for people doing their business in the city, instead an empty car takes prime real estate.

Utilization is high because it's such an inefficient way to transit people that in most cities it's always at capacity.
“Active noise cancellation for your eyes” is a great way to put. I also have found myself using the mount hood environment set to daytime as the setting for macOS + visionOS multi-window set up.

I took it off yesterday before some friends came over for dinner and I was kind of shocked that it had gotten dark outside because my mind felt like it was still day time since the sun was out in mount hood. I had actually been sitting on my office in darkness for a least an hour.

It's important to remember that Ukrainian individuals in Germany make up just 1.2% of the population, the majority of whom are war refugees.

Is it because of a total municipalities corruption and the monopoly of those conglomerates?
Yeah I wouldn't say it would be 100x more prosperous. Look at the 90s under US puppet Yeltsin. That was the time to show how good cooperation with the west will be but didn't happen. Russia was treated as any South American or African country was treated. I'm not from Russia but heaps of westerners (not only US) came to buy up businesses and spread Christianity. They literally did nothing in terms of investments and creating institutions except for capturing mining rights.

Although I would add that I personally think Russia has not really developed much in the last 10 years under him. He really needs to invest into changes.

Simple operations like addition and multiplication are generally bit-for-bit deterministic, even across different architectures. More complex operations like fused multiply-add can have slightly different rounding behavior. But the big issue is with the more complicated operations, like trigonometric functions or non-integer exponentiation. Those often have differing implementations between platforms, and the only way to guarantee determinism is to essentially roll your own sin/cos/tan/sqrt/etc.
Free market is not capitalism. You can have capitalism without free markets (in fact, capitalism exist outside of free market most of the time). The origin idea of libertarianism, probably the most pro free-market ideology, is anti-capitalist, and hate the idea of LLC, which is anti free-market, and pro-capitalism.
I think the issue is they decided what it should look like before they designed the rest of the vehicle. They wanted something that looked unusual... and now they have unusual problems to deal with.

There's no practical reason to make the vehicle have bare stainless panels, or "unbreakable" breakable windows, etc. It's marketing gimmicks that now seem to be developing into a PR issue. Time will tell..

The very fact that they try to upsell a wrap is absurd enough and obviously indicates Tesla was worried this might become an issue. The wrap should have been included... or some form of coating.

First of all, there's no evidence that any of this is intrastate or that Amazon has made a claim on the basis of intrastate trade (this would be a flabbergasting claim for them to make, given that their business is horizontally integrated across 50 states).

Second: the relevant decision here is NLRB v. Jones & Laughlin, which puts it succinctly[1]:

> Although activities may be intrastate in character when separately considered, if they have such a close and substantial relation to interstate commerce that their control is essential or appropriate to protect that commerce from burdens and obstructions, Congress cannot be denied the power to exercise that control.

I'm not aware of a more recent ruling that changes that doctrine.

The Australian battery isn't just making money from Arbitrage. It makes most of it from "Frequency control ancillary services (FCAS)".

"80-90% of battery revenues have been coming from FCAS and about 10-20% from energy trading."[1]

I would assume the amount of FCAS capacity needed will be fairly limited so the economics of additional batteries won't be as good.
