I question whether that's a real problem in a web form. Even unsophisticated users have probably seen it more than a few times and know that it's normal.
> but for near-term needs like deploying bigger Starlink satellites and their moon lander contract they could probably power through without reentry survival

Starlink sat deployment, probably. I’m not convinced on the moon lander contract though. Each mission requires the moon lander itself, plus a number of tanker launches to refuel the moon lander. I think it’s something like 8-15 tanker launches.

If each of those tanker launches is an expendable vehicle that’s… probably economically survivable, but definitely not sustainable.
>These comparisons feel like bad faith. This is what they actually said:

Taking prescription medication without a prescription or the condition it's meant to treat and then using its effects on you to decry its use by those with both seems like bad faith.
Young Adult fiction is my "go-to" place for this. Nearly anything that has won the Newberry Award is great for the whole family. Some standouts in my mind:

* Island of the Blue Dolphins

* Chronicles of Prydain (Book of Three, The Black Cauldron, etc)

Chronicles of Narnia aren't Newberry winners, but are good regardless (if you don't mind the religious subtext).

+1 for other people mentioning The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings.

Our whole family has enjoyed classics like Pride and Prejudice and Dracula -- such books are called "classics" for a reason.

Modern YA fiction has some very good books as well -- we all enjoyed Hole by Louis Sachar.

Some good modern sci-fi too -- Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir was well received, as was Ender's Game.

Brandon Sanderson's stuff is very good. Whole family enjoyed The Way of Kings and the books that follow.

(For context, "whole family" is mix of genders, ages 10-15)
Structuring the review around objectively verifiable data creates other problems.

What if there's a developer on the team who delivers 1/3rd the features as everyone else, but they offer such effective mentorship that their five teammates deliver features 2x faster? If you design your review process around objectively verifiable data, then it's almost certain to undervalue a developer who's great at mentorship because mentorship is hard to measure.

And it's not just mentorship. There are tons of contributions that seem pretty obviously beneficial but aren't objectively measurable: recognizing simpler ways of achieving business objectives, communicating clearly and effectively, being pleasant to be around, etc.

But if you go the other way and leave it up to pure human judgement, then you end up with promotion being based on favoritism, office politics, and irrational biases.

Hey memset,

If you're still looking for someone, I'd be happy to chat with you. I'm an ex-Facebook engineer, but I'd be willing to consider a part time thing if it covers my living expenses.

I've got my own startup idea I'd like to execute on, but I'm not willing/crazy enough to eat through my savings for X years.
> It sucks that Yuzu had to get bullied out of existence, but there's a universe where this went to court, and Nintendo is successful in making emulation illegal. At least this way, no legal precedent was set.

They got taken down because they were greedy (kind of opposite of the emulation scene no?) and distributed roms behind a paywall via their patreon and I believe even providing the new legend of zelda game before it released. Yes, it's an attack on emulation, but sister projects like ryujinx are still up and running.
The Pi Search Page
On the bright side, finding out that we are all in a simulation would at least provide the answer to the perennial question about the meaning of life, dohohoho.
I believe that if I have a new project and I want people to read about it and get interested, I must support mobile browsers (which nowadays produce more than half of the global website traffic) - more so if not doing it like in my example means not being able to read a single line at all.

It's just basic accessibility what we're talking about here.
There are a few switch games are merely like "X in 1" ROM back in the days. Allowing people to buy an emulator cheaply simply destroy Nintendo and those studio profit of re-releasing of a new package of the old IPs.

Sample size of one, and anecdotal at that, but someone snatched my iPhone out of my hands last July and ran away. I of course reported it stolen to the police and locked it down in FindMy, so in theory I think it's a brick, but I don't think that the fact that it was an iPhone really deterred them from stealing it from me.

They actually tried to extort $300 from me to get it back which I of course would not pay, but maybe there's still a market in that for some people?

So glad to see that "The Dog of the South" made the list. Someone on HN recommended it years ago which is how I discovered it so I'll pass it along. Certainly meets the definition of a "Great American Novel" with the way Portis captured how people speak. He hasn't written many novels but I recommend them all.

Yea. If I had to make an uneducated guess I'm thinking one of two things.

1. Starship is leaky. Outgassing and/or leaky valves made attitude control difficult and used up ullage gasses quickly.

2. Thrust control/RCS has programming or physical issues. Saw a lot of ice breaking off places near deorbit, so if you had ice building up and redirecting gas the ship wouldn't perform as the computer expects.
I've noticed general poor moral behavior around finance and business with gen-z'ers especially. I think victim mentality; oppressor vs oppressed mind virus is partly to blame. Social media (instagram, TikTok) encourages young people to be flashy... Show your cars, watches, houses, women show your T&A for attention, the likes, comments at all costs. Being unscrupulous, morally bankrupt and "frugal" is encouraged and seen as part of the way to become successful.
I didn't assume they are ignorant. I assumed that the are fraudulent. They knew they couldn't really improve existing protocols because it's simply not possible but moved forward anyway for personal gain. Just like everything from Google for the last 20 years.

there's nothing to optimize with UDP, you put a datagram on the wire and off it goes. There's no sequence number like in TCP to re-order and construct a stream on the receiving side. There is no stream, it's UDP. You put a datagram on the wire and that's it. There no syn/ack either so no congestion control in routers, no back-off or anything.

Nothing Nintendo likes more than selling a sub-optimal way to experience their games.

You'd be talking about suddenly adding support for every game they've ever made running on a million unique hardware configurations. There is literally only downside for Nintendo's brand in doing such a thing.

Below quote from your wiki link. I’m not a graphics guy, but would appreciate if someone with experience in computer graphics could please give an example of this common problem.

“A common problem in computer graphics is to generate a non-zero vector in R3 that is orthogonal to a given non-zero vector. There is no single continuous function that can do this for all non-zero vector inputs.”
I wonder if their point on architecture is a criticism on brutalism or on the "sameness" of buildings. Apartment complexes definitely follow a cookie-cutter template in US cities.

Maybe it's the novelty of it, but only a few buildings in the US have given me the same awe as brutalist architecture in former Soviet nations.

There's definitely a repetitive pattern to these buildings, but there's also something so captivating about those concrete slabs and jagged edges.

With full emulation, I'd argue memory access is not direct. Memory access from the emulated system will go through user space code in the emulator. That code may translate it to actual memory access, or perhaps an emulated, memory mapped I/O device like a frame buffer. Either way, there is something in the middle.

You could argue that nothing is direct unless you're running on a bare metal system, no MMU, no page tables. How do you define "direct"?
I'm for sure not a federation nor ActivityPub ninja, but as I understand it due to the broadcast nature of ActivityPub and this project's "send updates to the origin server as patches" approach, then it is the opposite of both github and Subversion in that there is not one canonical hostname, and any one hostname doesn't, itself, contain 100% of the content, same as infosec.social for sure doesn't contain 100% of Mastodon content but I can read infosec.social posts on my.mastodon.example by subscribing to feeds that interest me. I currently can't (that I know of) submit patches to their Toots as reply activity, but I don't believe there's anything in the spec that would prevent such a thing, either

I'm keeping an eye on https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/architecture/blueprints/activity_... <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39201453> with acute interest because I'm totally open to not even being able to see the ways federation can make ecosystems more valuable due to my lack of hands-on experience with the kinds of problems it is solving

It's also worth remembering that "sub-optimal" is completely up to opinion. If Nintendo decided to chase the optimal, we'd have a new Nintendo Switch every year like an iPhone. This would, of course, be a bad idea.

"I want 120 FPS. Or it's suboptimal!"

"I want an AMOLED, not just OLED. Or it's suboptimal!"

"I want keyboard input. Or it's suboptimal!"

And on and on.

A console generation is 8 years, on average. Nintendo's approaching the end. If we're making fun of Nintendo because a smartphone is more powerful, that's a testament to how fast phones have become, not a testament to Nintendo's sluggishness (as the Tegra X1, at the time, was the fastest mobile graphics chip available. What are they going to do? Call the generation after four years?)
Bigger problem than keeping it cryogenic is getting it to one side of the tank while in orbit, so the pumps don't run "dry". Harder than just doing an ullage burn first too, because moving that amount of mass around also moves the vehicle.

They are measuring the distribution of energy within the proton. General relativity (GR) describes how a distribution of energy distorts spacetime. They could take these measurements of the proton (if they're complete enough) and compute its tiny effect on the curvature of spacetime with non-quantum GR. Quantum gravity only becomes relevant at the Plank length (~10^-35m) which is still much smaller than the proton radius (~10^-15m) or the resolution of their measurements.

This argument is soooo ridiculous.

Who determines who is a grifter?

What about facts? Reality? The guy own's admission when he is boosting about how manipulative he is and when he admit fueling controversies for his own profit?

That "you cannot judge anything because 'who has decided that'" argument is very weak.

You are saying that Milo is not a grifter. But who determines who is not-a-grifter? You? The angry mob?

"Water is wet". "Who determines that? You? The angry mob?"
"This guy is bad, he kills kitten". "Who determines that? You? The angry mob?"
...

It's basically "alternative facts" where YOU determines what is true or not based on what suits you.
I really hope so. I’ve been looking for non-stupid jobs for 5 years, even willing to a pay cut to work on them, but I keep getting no traction, while yet-another-saas-that-does-x openings have been everywhere.
The phrase "breaking the bonds which hold water molecules together" can be interpreted two different ways.

1) Breaking the covalent bonds that hold individual water molecules together, preventing them from splitting into two hydrogen and one oxygen atom. That's clearly not true.

2) Breaking the hydrogen bonds that stick one water molecule to another, keeping the water in liquid form. That's true.

In any case, it's poorly phrased.
I think an entrepreneur should establish a tour in the Czech lands, to walk in the footsteps of švejk as of when he drank away the money for his train ticket sending his company to the front, thereby forcing him to zig zag across the land in the hope of rejoining them. It will be the Czech Camino de Santiago, and one must carry a pipe and a bottle of slivovic as they go.
I'm not saying we should bulldoze all the single family homes and make everyone live in filing cabinets. What I'm saying is people should be free to choose. We want the people who enjoy living in cities to have a place to live IN the city. This makes it so they don't have to spread out across the country side ruining farms, natural areas, and stuff that is better out in the country.

In fact, this would make it easier for you to afford a single family home and make your experience much more pleasant. You wouldn't have 10 neighbors complaining about the sounds and smells of your animals or report you to code enforcement for your plants growing too tall. You also wouldn't have thousands of cars going by with broken exhausts as people commute to work.

In addition, you could live much closer to cities to go see sporting events and concerts because the availability of single family housing would be much better. Also, your race tracks, animal rescues, nature parks, hunting areas, and other rural features wouldn't be regulated to death by massive suburban developments taking over.
I have started on Ritalin in my 30's.

I have to say the first time I took I suddenly felt very calm.
Noises from neighboring apartments, dogs barking, children outside playing ceased to be annoying distractions.

I took 5mg to be precautious. And spent hours doing an overdue cleaning my room / apartment. And i felt ok doing it when normally i'd feel irritated. Normally i'd have trouble deciding where to start this, but with this i just started.

I started properly paying bills. To be clear i had the money to pay these bills. But i would always tend to leave them until I was getting notices to remind me.

Vyvanse was interesting though. It made me a lot more assertive, when most people would describe me as the opposite. I liked that but it was double edged sword. I stopped because I was working as sales assistant in a shop and I found I was getting just a bit too angry at belligerent customers.
Show HN: Frigade - React SDK for building quality onboarding & activation flows
Hey HN! Christian here, cofounder and CTO of Frigade (https://www.frigade.com). Our tool helps product and engineering teams quickly build in-app experiences like getting started checklists, product tours, account upsells, and nps surveys. Basically all the little things that can help boost your product's activation and retention rates, but that you don't really want to spend the time building from scratch.

We built React UI components such as <Tour />, <Checklist />, and <Announcement /> and combined them with a web app that you can use to control user targeting, content management, sequencing, and more. These components can help power experiences like onboarding forms, surveys, house ads, and feature announcements.

About a year ago, we did our original Launch HN post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35246292) and we got a bunch of great feedback from HN. We also got grilled for having our product and documentation behind a waitlist – whoops! We fixed that, though. We’ve also built a ton of new functionality since then, and we’re dubbing it Frigade 2.0. This includes a free tier so you can check out the product without putting a credit card down, and we recently finished a complete rewrite of our SDK using Radix UI and a theming system built with Emotion.

There are other tools in this space but they tend to be "no-code", which sounds good until you realize that they actually inject bloated scripts that slow your product down, and make it hard and annoying for you to customize. We believe that good old code, not "no-code", is the better fit for this space. It lets you unit test, it works with version control, it uses your design system, it rolls out with your CI pipeline, and so on.

We solve this problem by: 1) allowing engineers to fully set up the guardrails for what non-technical teammates can do through a one time setup. 2) empowering non-technical team mates to build native experiences that drive better results while building confidence that they won’t mess up your production environment. Ironically, many companies that use our product have churned away from no-code solutions (such as Pendo) as they were too time consuming to manage, caused too many bugs in production, and simply weren’t effective enough.

Of course, the upfront cost of setting up Frigade is a bit higher than dropping in a <script /> tag on your website, but once it's set up, non-technical team mates (such as marketers) have full control to create experiences within the guardrails that engineering has created.

What do you think about belief and our approach? We’re especially curious to hear from those folks who have experience using these no-code tools or have had to build these kinds of experiences from scratch.

Not true. They were only distributing "early access" builds of the emulator there.

In my case - because I can. It's part of my value proposition from my employer's perspective.

I try not to think about it in terms of total compensation, but of marginal income (net income - cost of living).

My taxes here are lower, and my cost of living is much lower. I own a 5-bedroom home on half an acre that I paid $125k for. My mortgage is $850 / month. My entire monthly expenditures, including food and such, are around $3,500.

As a data scientist, this is one of those fuzzy subjective human problems that I just don’t think is going to be solved at all anytime soon.

My proposal is that we allow managers and reports to shift around much more fluidly to find a good “fit”. How to implement that? No idea.
"Optimal" in my comment was specifically meant to mean "consistent". Nintendo is never on the forefront of hardware (aside from their creativity in that area), but their product is absolute consistency. Games work very well and always the same for everyone.

Emulators are the antithesis of performance consistency. I love them, but there's zero way Nintendo (in its current form) ever officially supports an emulator you run on a typical PC.
> And you can't infer this knowledge just from playing. You need to look it up from some out-of-band source.

I disagree with this in principle. Given enough time, you can collect enough statistics to infer pretty much anything about the game. I've participated in efforts to reverse-engineer web-only games where neither source nor binary were available -- the server does all the compute and the client only receives information to show the user.

But in practice: how long will it take to first inscribe elbereth, and then notice its effect? Yeah, probably not happening in a few of my lifetimes.
