modern consoles do not only run games, but by design have to support background tasks. iirc both xbox and playstation now uses some form of virtualization to run games, while the "hypervisor" is also doing other tasks such as capturing highlights, etc. while there are gpu-accelerated workloads for some of it, as per my understanding cpu is still used for these scenarios.

so it is better to think that only a part of the cpu is dedicated for running the game, so you'd need more cores than otherwise.

> But it's not a small amount of time.

You're quoting a part where I gave a specific example where it is indeed a small amount of time difference, and use it to argue over an entirely different scenario.

The Eurostar takes <2h30 hours from London to Paris. The plane takes ca 1h. The plane will leave you ca. 40m travel from the city centre via the RER.

But the Eurostar terminal in London is further from me than the nearest airport, and so end-to-end travel time from me to the centre of Paris is marginally shorter with a plane.

If I lived on the other side of town, or wanted to go North of Paris CDG instead of to the city centre, the numbers might look entirely different. Hence the point of giving the specific example I did in order to make the point that WHEN they are roughly similar, I still prefer the train. The point you quoted had nothing to do about overall viability across all distances.

> Even St. Paul to Chicago is not viable by rail when the flight is only 90 minutes. Even with a two hour security line that's still 1/3 the total transit time.

That's fine, but a total strawman related to the argument you quoted.

> "trains have the benefit of being able to serve lots of places in between better." Yes, but only when those places are fairly close and have enough population to fulfill travel demand. And the US doesn't have many regions with those conditions.

As I've elaborated on at length elsewhere, even the lowest population density states in the US have only exceptionally tiny numbers of people in areas where that is true when compared to existing lines considered viable in Europe. To start with less than 5% of the US population live in states where the average population is lower than Norway, and like in Norway, and just like everywhere else, most of the population even in those states live along corridors that are dense enough - and indeed many of those corridors have existing rail and either do have or used to have passenger trains (e.g. South Montana used to be covered by the North Coast Hiawatha until the late 1970's; it's population density is higher now). Norway has a significant proportion of the population - not all, an entire low density region is without rail at all because it's considered too expensive - within reasonable distance of passenger rail.

The US could too - just providing rail cover to similar density stretches as in Norway would mean passenger rail covering the vast majority of the US population. Again, nobody is suggesting 100% coverage - just that far more coverage is entirely viable.

The US has areas not considered viable due to US political considerations. That's a choice for the US public to make, but this is not because US geography or demographics is exceptional, but because US politics is.

Shittier: Code formatting tool that makes your code look terrible
Here is my shiny new super business plan for a startup that will profit thousands from a supposedly non-paying customer:

1. Offer “free static website” with lots of templates and guides to help you build one

2. The first 100GB is free and beyond that it’s $0.01/MB. But no worries! Very few customers actually use up that free bandwidth and in case you need more you can purchase packages for $100/TB. Also we offer a free service that will help you get your site more visible by advertising it, it’s included by default.

3. After a month or so, randomly help a customer bump the website and make it popular by putting it in some list that is frequently crawled. Secretly hire someone else to crawl these websites and make lots of download requests

4. Once the customer suddenly gets 10TB of traffic, bill them for 9900GB which is $99000

5. As long as 1 out of 100 customers pay, you are profiting $990 per customer! For the rest of customers, offer a 5% discount so they only have to pay $1980. Threat taking them to collections if they refuse.

Become the next millionare by just selling free static websites to 1000 customers! Anyone join us?

I think most people pick Netlify for it's Infra as a Service offering, so it would be nice if they had a way to throttle and budget in that offering.

I would even imagine Netlify's target market is small to mid size businesses who really don't need ridiculous burstable scaling capacity at all. Seems like a bit of a trap door for that customer base.

I agree though, I wouldn't host on them as a small business due to that risk, but I am also happy running my own server so I might be an edge case.

>and likely little to no arguments over who should marry whom.

What makes you think they even had marriage? We've seen in pre-contact societies (such as on Hawaii) that many do/did not have the concept of monogamous marriage that modern people have. The whole idea of marriage and monogamy seems to have developed with the rise of agricultural societies and land ownership. Before that, kids were just raised by the tribe and people probably didn't care much about who fathered which kid.
Ask HN: Why can't GCP offer any good UX anymore?
I've recently wanted to try out AlloyDB, which looks like a nice and decent product. And since we are already on GCP, I wanted to just migrate the data from our cloud sql postgres to an alloydb cluster and test how it changes performance.

I first tried myself but quickly ran into issues because I couldn't get the migration job to work. Our cloud postgres runs within a non-default VPC and is usually accessed via private IP or cloud proxy.

Then I handed over that task to a specialized consultant with GCP experience. They spent some time and got much further but eventually listed all the issues that they had on the way, including severe lack of documentation.

I'm baffled that GCP apparently isn't able to offer a simple built-in migration job in which I select my cloud sql postgres instance and it migrates the data from it into a new alloydb cluster which offers the same connectivity like cloud postgres (public IP with certificates or private IP or cloud sql proxy).

Sorry for the rant...
I do notice that the GMBN and GCN videos that are just advertorials do have "AD" in the top corner when you look at the video thumbnail. I'm assuming this is an EU or UK thing, because there are a lot of other channels that do exactly the same thing but there's no such "AD" callout.

I used to approach topics by picking the top five-ten books on the subject and reading them. This works, but not as well as I think most people assume. The reality is that you end up not really remembering most of the information you learn. Reading can shape your mind in a way similar to how a river shapes a canyon, but it doesn’t necessarily convert directly to actionable insights.

Instead, I have begun to rely on encyclopedias and spaced repetition, with the idea being that I will actually remember all of the data I’m inputting.

To use an example: I read a popular biography about Rockefeller last year. I can remember the vague outlines of it, but realistically if you asked me to summarize the book, I couldn’t write more than a page. I think most people have a similar experience with reading. Can you name the last ten books you read and write a brief essay about each? Almost certainly not, even if you read a ton.

To combat this, I’ve been adding specific details about Rockefeller to an Anki deck. Things like, “Where was Rockefeller born?” Or “How many companies was Standard Oil split into?” My thesis is that knowing a few hundred facts like this is an order of magnitude more productive than reading a book about the subject. Encyclopedias are thus useful for this purpose, as they present a huge amount of information about a subject in a format amendable for memorizing.
The idea that Germany has the autonomy to stand up to America's military junta is just plain false. It simply doesn't have the agency as a nation state, to do so.

Germany screwed itself by allowing itself to remain a client state of the USA after WW2 and during the entire cold war, and by not wrestling control of its intelligence services away from the CIA, which still runs it today, and through which the entire political classes of the German state are subjugated.

Besides which, Energy inter-dependence between modern states is only a bad thing if you're not participating in the transaction. Obviously, the USA doesn't care about Germanys' energy dependence one bit, now that the USA is reaping billions of dollars of profit from the Germans for filthy energy supplies ..
Oh, nonsense.

FOLLOW THE MONEY.

Who has profited the most from the Nordstream pipelines destruction?

The USA.

That's not a conspiracy, its a fact. The profits are evident and very, very real.

> bullshit reasons

What isn't bullshit is that the western military junta propagating this conflict has absolutely no problems spreading fallacies about Russia without producing any evidence whatsoever - this is a standard operating procedure for war-profiteers who seek to profit from our hatred, which they foment..

And now, with these investigations closing down, there will be no further evidence presented, and people can continue to spread false claims about who their favourite badguy is, and what they did to the pipeline .. this is probably by design.

Meanwhile, Europe has suffered economic impacts as a result of this attack on its infrastructure. Perhaps the reason European politicians are closing these investigations down so hard, is that they just don't have courage to confront the fact of their betrayal by an ally - or even worse, provide evidence of this to their voting public ...*
This. I firmly believe if you are making a platform or saas product for devs you need to be building an application that uses it first or in parralel even though building the platform sounds more important and higher impacting and everyone loves to sell shovels. It’s the only way to prove your platform is high value and to work out the real value. In days like today where there are a lot of folks selling shovels, I trust the platforms that use them as well far more then yet another platform with customer logos.

There is a market for mobile gaming, but machines like Razer Blade 14 and ASUS G14 are successfully cornering that market with powerful discrete GPUs. There's no big reason to manufacture iGPUs when a separate chip is much more performant and easier to cool.

There's not that much demand for a mediocre-to-poor GPU that's more powerful than iGPUs of current era.

I think this is putting the cart before the horse. In my experience, the reason many 3d prints are useless trinkets (NOT functional parts) is because it takes a lot of effort to design your own custom piece. Most 3d prints that are actually useful are custom to your use case.

The amount of effort it takes makes it so that if something close enough exists, I will buy it online. If it doesn't exist I will not bother designing it from scratch since this is not a massive part of my life that I'm willing to sink much more time into than it is worth.

How much extra work is Patreon if you don't offer any extras to people who sponsor on there?

Most sponsored content is either completely orthogonal to the channel and its contents which is quite iffy if the creator is positioning themselves a someone with judgement their audience can trust (non-gaming channels advertising Raid: Shadow Legends, or non-tech channels advertising NordVPN), or actively make me lose respect for the creator (gaming channels advertising Raid: Shadow Legends, tech channels advertising NordVPN, or anyone with BetterHelp after all the shit they pulled).

Of course there are exceptions, like content creators posting on Nebula being sponsored by them or anything Josh Strife Hayes does.
you can chalk it down to survivorship bias but most companies don't always end up succeeding in their original mission. if the likes of samsung and netflix stuck to their original purpose and stopped operations, we would not see the impact they've created today.
> Is it just me, or has youtube recommendations become almost unusable by now?

It's honestly the opposite for me. It's scary good at finding content related to my recent history, and it's even gotten better at directing me towards even toward very small (<1k sub) content creators. I don't subscribe to quite a few youtubers simply because I know the algorithm will point me to their relevant new uploads anyway.

But yes, if you take even a step towards some semblance of clickbait, or even hover over some random video too long, your feed will suddenly transform into a flood of crypto, cat videos, culture wars, or just general low quality content. You need to aggressively cull your history and make use of "don't recommend this channel" to stop that. Maybe even clear your entire history if it feels too lost Also, YT is aggressively promoting shorts no matter what you do, in my experience.

As a discaimer, I have Premium, so I don't know if I get a better algorithm as a result of that.

There has been at least one find of a needle that is presumed to be of Denisovan origin. If the Denisovans already had needles, it is very likely that the Neanderthals also had them.

In general the needles are the oldest evidence for the existence of clothes in all human groups, because the clothes themselves are much more perishable.

I have never heard of any evidence for animal domestication by Neanderthals.

If they had any domestic animals, that would have been possible only for a single species, i.e. dogs. For all the other domestic animals all the evidence is consistent with a domestication only during Neolithic, i.e. during the last ten thousand years.

Moreover, except for dogs they would not have had with what to feed domestic animals. At most in rare cases some child could have raised a small pet, but it is very unlikely that they normally had such food surplus to afford to share it with a pet that did not provide any useful service.
"Do any countries have taxes on assets instead of income?"

Not applicable to this situation, but zakat in Islamic countries requires a 2.5% payment to the government, similar to a tithe. This is why many of the theocratic Islamic countries have 0% income tax. It's always applied to assets above a certain amount, but some places apply it on income as well.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_tax_rates

But the joke is that you can't run from taxes. If there's that much money floating around in one person's wallet, someone will figure out how to tax it. If it doesn't get taxed, well, someone will figure out how to rob him.
HoMM3 is one of my favorite games, and I also enjoy its modern reimagining, Songs of Conquest. You might like it too.
that is arguably not a plus. Game engines usually have very different needs then editing tools. a simple example is maybe the ability to undo. Good tools are designed around editing whereas game engines are designed around performance. The two are often in conflict. It's quite often that tools based around an engine are inflexable and engines based around tools are slow.

Effectively they should argusblybe built separately with the tool designed to make editing easy and flexible and extensible and then have it generate/bake optimal data for the performabt but l ss flexible engine

A concrete example might be the difference between Photoshop and textures in a game. go watch almost any texture artist and they'll have 89 layers in Photoshop but it will all get baked down into just An rgba texture. Photoshop needs to support those layers, layer masks, compositing modes, blend options. The game just needs in rgba8unorm texture.

note:I shouldn't have to say this but because some pedantic person will take issue with this example. I get it's an imperfect example. The point is tools and game engines have different needs. The point is not the specific examole of layers. Another example might be that Photoshop virtualizes storage since it was designed to edit gigiabyte images on machines with 4-8 meg of ram. Game engines, even if a few can stream large images, they are generally not dessigned to edit them

I'm left-handed, so I like fast-drying ink. I prefer a thin, but dark line. Here are some of the pens I like using.

1. Pentel Energel needlepoints 0.5 (BLN75 or the BLN105); refills fit a Lamy Tipo. It's a great everyday pen.

2. Zebra Sarasa 0.5 - lots of variations of this pen with lots of pretty ink colors and cute body styles. I would use it more, if it were available in local shops. I don't order stationery.

I’m stunned there is no way to limit spend and have warning and a cap on a service like that. You should be able to specify billing thresholds and have sensible defaults when the downside is basically unlimited. Basic customer UX.
It wouldn’t be possible for them. Netlify doesn’t own transit, so AWS needs to get their fat cut even if Netlify waives their fatter cut.

I don't care so much about the privacy - I care about the fact that there are severe usability issues.

Transparent displays make sense where you need to present information in a view of the real world, ie a HUD.

They make absolutely jack shit sense everywhere else. You've got less contrast, and even worse, the contrast is variable across the screen. It could even be moving. It could be exceptionally bad - this screen would be unreadable if, say, a beam of sunlight were striking the floor that is in the background of the display.

The only reason we think transparent displays are "cool" is because scifi authors, TV show writers, and hollywood are fucking obsessed with them. In The Expanse everyone has a transparent phone and my first thought was "how the fuck are you supposed to see anything on that screen!?"

I doubt any company has done usability studies on the damn things. They'll get as far as prototypes like these, people will try to use them, quickly figure out they're complete shit, and all the transparent-specific R&D will have been wasted unless it can be pivoted into HUD tech, but HUDs can't be made like this because the focal length is wrong.
