How did you land on the name Turas by the way? I was expecting an Irish connection as turas means 'trip' in Irish :)
Can confirm, did the form online in Berlin, super easy and quick.

All remote work done Friday morning via ASTER and LANDSAT, 3 hour caravan in 4x4 and AWD vehicles through nasty sand and mountains to the chosen location to verify findings, immediate camp set up and extraction begins that night and through Saturday morning and afternoon, break camp and depart that evening, spend Sunday cutting and polishing to reveal some of the most gorgeous blue and green you've ever seen in a rock.

IANAA, but black holes often have an accretion disc orbiting them. Anything that would cross this plane would get impacted by the orbiting particles, which would slowly cause the object to begin to orbit.

Neutron stars also have enormous gravitational and magnetic fields which could steal mass from the accretion disc. If you (the neutron star) gain mass near the gravitational field, it pulls you in closer.

US will still have plenty of reason to defend Taiwan, if only because it is a crucial part of America's containment strategy - China would have a much easier time operating in the Pacific if it controls Taiwan, and the US won't allow that. Further, if Taiwan falls a lot of countries will lose faith in America's ability to protect them from China which would thrust the entirety of South-East Asia into China's hands, also something the US can't afford. Though, with recent claims that China can build 1000 cruise missiles a day[0] it might not matter whether US defends them or not.

>The losses are less important than the paltry $4M in revenue.

Is it that different from the over-evaluation of companies with no real business plan aside from "capture eyeballs, get VC backing, and exit", or with big revenue and equally big losses, with net loss? The kind that lose $1 on each sale but "make it up on volume", which was the norm for VC-backed and IPOed companies from the dot-com boom to the recent "looking for unicorns" era.

I'm with DHH on those...
You want to impose your Linux-centric view of ossified syscall ABIs on the world. That's just not reality on any other operating system other than Linux, nor should it be.

libc is the standard, but there is nothing that prevents you from hacking up libc to make some Frankenstein library that makes you feel better about "avoiding C" for whatever that's worth. Somehow, you think that libc is making your language runtime worse because it's written in C. Somehow, you think that writing an FFI -- as most high level languages do -- into libc is an inconvenience. It will probably blow your mind to realize that most operating systems, and thus most syscall interfaces, are also written in C. :-)

Then you compare libc to the MSVC++ runtime for some odd reason. And yet, if you do write applications that target Windows, you use their system libraries, which are predominantly written in C and provide C functions, regardless of the high level language you choose. These libraries implement the interface to the kernel, much like most operating systems other than Linux.
Hi, I made a version for iOS in my free time. I'm not entirely sure if it replicates the game dynamics 100%, but it was quite fun to make.

Show HN: I made a tool to inspect raw pixel buffers
I used to use rawpixels.net for this purpose, but that website suddenly disappeared earlier this year. I threw together this web app as a replacement. It's nothing fancy, but it does what I need, and it might do what you need too.

Feel free to suggest a new name. PixPeep is the name I came up with because it lets you peep at pixel buffers, but the name is already used by something else (and it's honestly not that great).
Another part of this is the rise of search, period.

Back in the Ancient Times, when "search" sites were in fact, directories of sites, not unlike the Yellow Pages, you had a categories and listings.

I've been using The Emulator Zone since 1997. Long before Google, and found them under Yahoo's "Games" category. Since they've been around for over 25 years, I trust them. The often do grab the software from repositories and make it easily available. The site does have ads, but I haven't encountered a malicious one. It's all for stuff I actually use (Microsoft Azure, fragrances from House of Creed, and Hertz Car Rental right now), so I have a little leeway with these people, but TEZ has never actively attempted to obfuscate or confuse the reader unlike this site and others like it.
Yes, likely as there is nothing different in principle. It is briefly mentioned in the study that is a concern.

He says this is mostly a change in language, but this seems like a substantial policy shift.

Google Translate :) I wanted something short that meant "trip" or "travel".

Give it a shot! It's not for everyone (definitely not casual planners). But if you budget, plan schedules, and especially if you plan multi-day trips with other travelers, it's a great tool!

Will C++ Become a Safe Language Like Rust and Others?
They have said they will not build the best and latest here in the US. Many of the fabless companies here in the US want access to that latest stuff and the US is vested in keeping that channel open for market/defense/security reasons.

The Chip Wars book is an excellent read and tells you us the supply chain is globally integrated. If we were to draw a country graph of technology dependence to create semiconductor technology T (tools, chips, etc) - well, there is no DAG. The defense department is not so happy to see all this free market sharing of essential technology going on as it benefits non-friendly nation(s).

The book also illustrated how behind Russia was/is with weapons technology and semiconductors in general (compared to the US).

I think it's just "humanity" and self interest, not sure any given government form is immune to such things.

Historically when I see folks rise up to stop such things, they just mean get their own piece of the pie, or all of it. Humanity is very good at "problem solved, because it is ok when i do it".
> The oceanfront properties will only become worthless when the land directly beneath them is submerged because the people who own those properties can enjoy them just fine with or without insurance coverage.

Part of the value of real estate is the short term use of that real estate.

Part of the value is the resale value.

If anthropogenic climate change is really causing sea levels to rise, then the predicted future resale value of oceanfront property must be near zero, which must be causing prices to drop sharply.

Except the prices are not dropping.

Markets predict reality better than most predictors.

On average, you're right. But we're not quibbling about the average person here. We're talking highly skilled, highly educated professionals can expect at least a 50% gain in gross salary (nominal + exchange rate), face lower costs of living for goods and services, the aforementioned lower taxes and, critically, expect excellent private health care coverage that will likely cost less than whatever taxes are removed from Canadian paychecks.

If the choice is between very good private US healthcare vs. any Canadian public system, the outcomes and general healthcare service in the US are much preferable under most circumstances

In light of the long-term effort to subvert xz and get a backdoor into sshd it's feasible that these kinds of malicious sites have a second agenda; become popular enough as search results for a Free product to serve backdoored download links selectively or wholesale once they get enough traffic.

Regardless of intent, the low-quality ad networks sites like that serve routinely serve fractional malware ads anyway (focus-stealing alert()-style "you are the 100,000th visitor" or "malware detected on your device" garbage).
Ironic that an app whose name itself was co-opted from the Microsoft product name now has to deal with someone else re-co-opting that same name.

No, but in this instance it’s so clearly targeted at a particular program that it really starts becoming dangerous for the makers of said program.

Not all third party download sites are evil. But this one is in the veru dark gray area. It is correct to report it now as a threat before something bad actually happens.
I do speak Polish, as does my wife :-)

And I'm not sure - our son is 3 and speaks both English and Polish without any trouble. I myself only started learning English and German at 6 and 8 respectively, which I do think is too late to be trully and completely bilingual - like I'm fluent in English and after years of living in the UK I don't think I have much of an accent left, but I don't think I can ever be as good as someone who learnt English from birth.

Or your original point was half assed and you’re just angry you can’t actually make a better one?

I don’t think PFAs are some essential vitamin or minerals.

But some quantifiable risk information is essential to actually making a useful analysis. Like other types of substances we’ve done nearly the same thing to ourselves over, like dioxins, PCBs, etc.

Most if them might just be as bad as silicones, some of them might be worse, some of them better. And it’s weird that none of that is allowed to be discussed.

You’re the one being performative here.

Yup, skip all sponsored and ad content. I do the same on Amazon and ebay - even when the advertised product is _exactly_ what I want, and the best price available, I refuse to purchase from a sponsored listing.
Over four decades ago, when I was in my pre-teens, my family had a TRS-80 Model 1 (or was it a 3?), and I created a simple game for it in BASIC. In the game, a maze-like wall of blocks would be built as you watched, each block one of the system's super-chunky monochrome pixels. When the wall became almost, but not quite, impassable, you'd hit the space bar to halt the construction and begin the next phase of the game.

In this phase, you had to use cursor keys to move your character, again, a super chunky pixel, from the bottom of the screen, through the maze-like wall, to the top of the screen. If you reached the top, you won the game and were awarded a score equal to the number of blocks placed in the wall, minus your number of steps.

What made the game surprisingly fun was the tension you felt when the wall was being built. If you pressed the spacebar too soon, the wall would be too easy and your score would be low. But if you waited a little too long, the wall will be impassable and you'd lose. No points.

This dynamic was especially fun when multiple people played in sequence against one another, trying to get the high score.

Anyway, I remember that game took a weekend to write when I was a kid.

I also remember that my father, for some reason, really liked that game. He would comment for years after about how much he liked it and would like to play it again. But we no longer had that old TRS-80.

Fast forward to 2023. As a Christmas present for my dad, I recreated the game in a web browser. Again, it took about a weekend's worth of on and off work.

He was surprised and delighted by this gift. Over the next few weeks he'd send me the occasional email proclaiming his new high score.

Anyway, the whole thing runs client side, so if you want to experience 45 year old gaming, here you go:

https://blog.moertel.com/wall_of_denial/

Scores over 3200 are considered pretty good.

P.S. Although the laughably bad on-screen instructions don't say so, you can play the game on a phone.
Move your character by clicking the top, left, bottom, or right of the game screen.

The Tax Foundation simply presents the data collected by the OECD[1]. You don't have to trust them.

>Social security and pesnions aren't financed by taxes, in Germany taxes are not earmarked for a specific purpose.

This is wrong. Because the pension contributions are not enough to cover the payments, every year billions from the tax revenue is used to pay the pensions. The German pension system is effectively bankrolled every year with the tax money.

>If you would replace social security and pension contributions by private insurances with the same costs people wouldn't have more money available but the Germany's index position would be better.

This is also wrong. The other countries have social security (For example: Australia). Unlike Germany, they don't charge for public pension separately. The contributions are included in the income tax. So it makes perfect sense to include it in the total tax burden for Germany.

I mean bundling unrelated services. A subscription to just access all the music is pretty useful if you want to listen to music, but then they decide it should also be attached to a subscription of cloud gaming, shopping, podcasts, it becomes anti-consumer.
