Recommendation for anyone wanting to get into the gory, shocking details of WWI:

The podcast, Dan Carlin's A blueprint for Armageddon[1].

Over 24 hours on the topic, and I was left absolutely devastated by the descriptions of the impact and events of WWI. I guess I just didn't have a great appreciation or knowledge of WWI. At least for me, my grade school education was mostly focused on WWII and other more recent conflicts.

The problem starts when its a new problem.
Wow. The problem is, this immediately makes me consider all the industrial pollution sites across the world. I genuinely wonder how much of our planet has already been rendered completely inhospitable to life? I'm not trying to be dramatic or bait arguments, I legitimately wonder how much.
I know that you know what I meant.
> Lots of it is just about marketing though.

But in that case, doesn't it make more sense for the government to just cut out the middleman and offer internet to consumers directly? What is the company's value-add?
I too can't wait for my first ASMR napalm recipe! Finally I'll be able to get a good night's sleep.
This is a decent article, but although the points themselves are valid, I think there's a core "issue" with (indie) gamedev itself.

The vibe that I'm getting is that it's filled with people that don't particularly care about programming, they just want to get stuff done(TM), this is also highlighted by the fact that they are willing to write completely inadequate code just to see things working. Rust is not that, and that's a good thing.

More generally, I'd say that in gamedev anything goes, as long as it's fun and isn't too buggy. Rust is not, and never will be able to accomodate that mindset, which again, is a good thing if you think for 2 seconds and consider what Rust is actually aimed at, which is safe systems programming.

You can have the core engine written in Rust and have a scriptable language on top of it, there aren't any major pain points in this regard. The scriptable language will be able to provide all of this hot-reloading-anything-goes-yes-sir bullshit that we all know and love.

tl;dr: Use the right tool for the job. A language designed for safe systems programming can't do non-safe non-systems programming very well. Who knew!

Virtually all of the points outlined in the article stem from the above.
The first 3 points are pretty much covered by nixos too. 1. It's source compilation based, but you download the cached result if it exists. 2. Unfree option has to be explicitly set if you want that for specific packages. 3. Depends on the tastes, but it's pretty easy.
I create internal training videos ant my job and that’s the use case as well. Not many people want to have their voice used and it’s easier and way faster for me to have an ai produce a voice than to get someone to do it for me.
Golang is indeed much more opinionated. To quote @bcantril, "Go is like steampunk for programming."
Interesting. I went through the primer spec. Appears to be a different kind of D or Go with some key points. Any new language should begin with a specific thesis of specific competitive advantages and problems it solves over existing customary and alternative tools. Kai appears to fulfill this property, so that's a good sign.
No, it doesn’t sound like they’ll be dropping X11 support any time soon. At least, not before the 2.0 release. It is nevertheless one of those worrisome things.

A language is in large part the ecosystem. If I can't use the expected ecosystem I can't search for answers.
Considering I pay $50 for 10 gig internet here in the US, I suspect those poor downtrodden ISPs can afford to add a small percentage of marginal customers at $15/mo and still at least break even on all of them.
I was sure you were going to get to the counterfeit and substandard goods problem, but you cited plenty of things in your comment, so I'll just add it.

Amazon's retail market is absolutely lousy with counterfeit goods, as well as products blindly imported from China (usually) which don't meet the standards required by regulation for such goods. This regularly causes injury, especially due to electrical fires, and Amazon has not been held to account for any of these practices.

Try heading to a street corner and selling counterfeit products: it's a crime, you'll be charged accordingly. Amazon has gotten away with this for more than a decade.

Yes, that's the downside of relaxing the orphan rule. That doesn't mean there has to be a way for the top-level crate to work around that, other than avoiding having both of those in its dependency tree.

Ideally, people would tend to put trait implementations for a given pair of crates in a unique library crate, implement them in the obvious way, and provide that as a library for people to use.
This may vary based on municipality, but franchise fees are usually in addition to specific pole attachment fees.

Your franchise fee, for example, could buy permission to build your own poles. But it would not pay for you to put lines up on city-owned poles.
No language from Apple / Google / Microsoft / whatever can ever be a serious replacement for C++. When the development of the language is dominated by a single entity, the risk that the interests of that entity override those of other users is simply too high.

Vendor-specific languages are fine, if you are developing something for that vendor's ecosystem. But if you don't want to lock your code to a specific ecosystem, an independent language such as C++ or Rust is a better choice.
Ask HN: How to stay safe in the age of AI?
I am from a war torn country and fear my parents have been made non existent (basically not alive anymore avoiding words) and I have reason to believe my sisters as well as my aunt and grand mother are being held to get me to do things I don't want to do (confirmed this by asking each individual questions that only them and I would know the answer to and each time the questions were answered incorrectly)

I believe the people who did this are people from the same country who live in the US and who have access to advanced AI via Microsoft, Adobe etc and have the ability to fake phone and video calls.

Assuming I have no money how can I protect myself and stay safe? From MITM as well as manipulation by AI? (obviously this may sound like something out of touch with reality to a lot of HN crowd who have never even seen a civil war, tribalism, blood feuds etc but would like to say I am very open about going to therapy I only mention this because I have noticed when trying to get support / reach out to people the first response is to assume it may be mental thing but what are the odds family members who were at specific events all answer >10 questions incorrectly?)
Try, then report.

Yes, on icy compact snow you can ride a bike issueless. Definitively not on partially molten snow, yes you can ride a bike when it rain, no special issues, except you reach your destination very wet. You can do the same in hot summers, reaching your destination equally wet, and smelling.

It's not a people issue, it's a desperate propaganda issue to being able to sell the modern city, the perfect way to enslave people pushing all back to the classic proletariat.

They know cities are absurd. They say they are efficient, of course, it's efficient build big buildings using some just to sleep and some just to work, occupied 50% of the time, keeping commuting between them "but hey, at a 15' range!", they know the city is made to consume, producing a far bigger slice of rubbish than spread living, because you just ride a scooter and so you buy small things, you eat ready made food and so on, a gazillion of packages to the bin, and in your own free time you go outside just to consume services. There is nothing else in a city. With this model you can push people to the zero ownership, rent anything, and to rent you need to work, as the owner of the city, who do not live there, offer. A social score in the middle.

Just take a look at https://youtu.be/NXyzpMDtpSE this is the future western city, where people need to be happy, smiling, the Canon model: https://petapixel.com/2021/06/17/canon-uses-ai-cameras-that-...

The people problem is that many accept such model. They like the idea "hey, renting anything meaning far less to take care and think of", "hey, no need to have money for capex" and so on.

He is comparing the Amiga to popular games consoles of that era. There has always been a home computer vs games console divide.

Sure if you compare the Amiga to the PC the Amiga was cool. But PC gaming has also always been seen as uncool too.

(I’ve always owned both, but I’m part of the same “uncool” crowd as the others in this echo chamber in that I’ve enjoyed home computers too)

Neutrinos With Attitude?
My understanding is there are already federal incentives to get less dense areas wired, though I'm not up to speed on the state of that - a quick Google tells me that USDA has loan and grants for it but unclear how well funded that is and how that would impact economics at $15 and $20 a month.

Given that more than half of the population of NY is in NYC and Long Island, I would imagine that there is enough density and economic diversity at least downstate to make this at minimum cost neutral though this is total conjecture.

As an aside, I remember the days of companies partnering with CLECs taking advantage of rural connectivity loopholes to create free conference calling services by billing larger upstream carriers and splitting that revenue with service providers, which was pretty clever.

> The supreme court has been very clear that congress can't delegate lawmaking to executive agencies. So no, I haven't forgotten that at all.

Well, they do it all the time. FCC, OSHA, EPA... Try taking the approach that you shouldn't have your FCC license (amateur radio, broadcasting, whatever) to the courts because these bureaucrats made up the whole thing. You won't get very far.

> What's your argument in favor of federalizing all aspects of law in a large and heterogenous country?

My argument is that no one actually believes in not federalizing things. Not unless it fits their agenda. See the Comstock Act, for example.

> Why does the federal government need to force Texas to ban non-competes when Texas has decided not to do so but California has?

They need to ban non-competes because they're horrifically abusive of workers and like most things, the corporate class keeps pushing until someone pushes back. Would you like that "someone" to be the FTC through a legal process, or an angry mob tearing people apart? Mobs don't particularly care much about "states' rights" or the writings of a bunch of slave owners who lived before the creation of germ theory, after all.

> What if the next government decides to force California to un-ban non-competes with a new rule issued by Executive Order? Do you not see why this is an unworkable and brittle approach?

What if the next Congress decides the opposite of the current one? What if a future SCOTUS bench decides to contradict a past ruling? What's your point?
The application process is trivial, because all you have to do is show you're already a recipient of an existing government program such as Medicaid or free school lunches.

And courts will see right through shell companies. It's such a non-starter no company would be dumb enough to even try it.
Neither have I, but that’s because I don’t watch TV. At least 80% of people in the U.K. don’t watch tv news.
It sounds like you disagreed with the parent comment but then you demonstrated his point. You can build a new home, but the zoning code should have allowed you to build many homes instead of just one.
I think $180/year/person would more than cover what little maintenance is needed in non-disaster situations. I've maybe made a few phone support calls over the last 1 or 2 decades of broadband service. That would add up to $1,800 – $3,600 for 5 or 10 minutes worth of work.

If it's cheaper to build out their own fiber and not have these plans, that is an option these companies have, too.
I’m sorry, but you’re either naive or lying.

This is precisely like the imaging standards trying to replace JPG. After two decades of vendors like Google trying to establish a new standard, I can’t send anything other than an SDR sRGB JPEG to anyone, especially to an Android user.

The current post-JPG formats may as well be called “the Apple format”, “Google image”, and “Netflix pics”. There is no practical interoperability to speak of.

I’m seeing the exact same dynamics play out with PassKeys: lip service to interoperability, meanwhile consumers are left twisting in the wind, locked out of their lives because Google can’t play nice with Apple. Or Microsoft. Or anyone else.

“Interoperability is coming” is a statement in the same category as communist dictatorships promising true socialism and freedom… you know. Eventually. Just not now. Or next year… maybe later.
Not sure what you meant. Leetcode type things solves a problem of past. Future will be copilots doing lot of grunt coding work and human value add would be instructing copilots the right way, bringing broader contextual information. Solving binary search tree problems during interviews will eventually go away (once old guards go away)

Mysteriously, the people who don’t own land can do all those useful things for the community and they don’t end up with a $2MM windfall.

Almost as if “doing things for the community” yields nothing close to the returns of “own shack and wait.”
It's mindblowing that you think compassion is a political ideology and not, you know, a normal human emotion that motivates people to push for certain policies.

A cynical person would never push for (largely unpopular) compassionate/harm-reducing policies.
Yeah, and it's taking him YEARS to implement a simple grid-walking Sokoban clone, and Braid anniversary edition had to be delayed.

I memorized my multiplications tables like a good little boy, and I can do decent amounts of math in my head, but I am not a fast or as capable as the default calculator that comes with every smartphone on the planet.
The answer is yes and it's the only way. You need to develop fluency to understand "Math B". It's only ungraspable right now because you haven't had enough of the right kind of practice. The right kind of practice is 1) well motivated for your curiosity 2) achievable.
Ah thats clever
The RK3588 does seem to comfortably beat the Xeon D-1700/D-2700 series at performance per watt and per dollar.

Compare the RK3588 to the Xeon D-1718T as an example:

RK3588: https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/5757475

Xeon D-1718T: https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/945

This Xeon is a 46W TDP part with a $274 USD unit price for the CPU alone. The RK3588 has a ~11W TDP and entire Orange Pi 5 boards can be bought for around $120 USB. The RK3588 can get around 62% of the multicore performance for around a quarter the power budget and vastly cheaper SBC prices compared to Xeon D series servers.
If you don't mind me asking how do you cope with a loss like that? Especially if there was violence involved?
The original comment about Tesla allegedly gaming the system by not deploying airbags when they should is unfounded based on available safety metrics. It's an unsubstantiated claim that derails the conversation from the main point.

Comparing the minor differences in airbag performance among a handful of cars is not particularly relevant to the overall argument, especially when considering the vast number of poorly performing vehicles on the market.

And, yes, I do believe that cost matters here. Cars exist in size and price classes. If you cannot comprehend that, that's fine. But it doesn't change the argument.
That's right, and that means most transforms in big data. The fact that the dataset can be distributed at all typically implies that the task is parallel.
You're lucky then. It's routinely given off-label to elderly people specifically as an orexigenic.
Based on what I've seen, various forms of censorship and suppression are often employed in such cases, rather than outright "flaming" or other discussion-based approaches.

It really depends on where and how the discussion is taking place, and what censorship methods the website/platform/medium involved offers.

Sometimes users are just outright banned or shadow-banned, if those happen to be options.

Sometimes forum threads, bug reports, or comments are deleted.

Sometimes the discussion remains accessible, but is stifled in some way. This includes closing/locking forum threads or bug reports, or otherwise severely limiting participation in such discussions to a very small and isolated group of people. If down-voting/reporting systems are present, sometimes they're used to limit the visibility or prominence of such discussion.
Have to check that out. Good find!
I'm kind of shocked at how little substance there is here and then immediately I'm asked if I want to pay $29 and get started with whatever this is.
Yeah, this is the bit that stood out for me, too.

Does anyone knowledgeable here have a sense for whether there are any insurmountable roadblocks to bringing hot reload to Godot?
> Though actually, now that I said all that I decided to see how much interest rates affect this and it seems that it explains a significant chunk if you try to keep the monthly payment the same.

This is an underappreciated point. As you say, the price in housing that sets the supply-and-demand curve is the monthly payment, not the purchase price. (Except for those who can pay cash, or those who are buying as an investment.)
IMO part of the solution should be obvious: if a company loads JavaScript from a third party, and they have not vetted that third party for HIPAA compliance, then the company including the JavaScript should be deemed to have violated patient probably even if no patient data was transmitted.

It is sad, and there are certainly areas where injuries and deaths will continue for decades to come. However I feel the need to point out that the First World War is on a whole other level of scale than the Ukraine War. As per the article , approximately 60 million shells were fired at the battle of Verdun. That's just one spot on the front over the course of about one year. In Ukraine, Russia's recent ramp-up of shell production is allowing for about 10,000 shells per day ( 3.65 million per year) across the entire front. Assuming that pace is maintained, that's about 16x less than was fired at a single spot on the front in WW1.

I write this comment not to diminish the very real suffering caused by the current war, but as reminder of the destructive capacity of a full-scale industrial war, where the entire state is devoted to producing the means of war.
Or the flip side. Russia is trying to take control of land, but what's the point if you level everything and make it uninhabitable.
It's incredibly useful yes.

For starters you have the snapshots which you can use as 'restore points' like in Windows to go back when an update breaks something. Except this time they actually do work (I've never had that fix anything for me on windows).

You can also use them to try out huge packages like different DEs on your daily driver and revert if you don't like it without having to remove the entire forest of dependencies.

You can also silence the filesystem for backups similar to volume shadow copy in Windows. ZFS send/receive is also a fast way to actually make backups although it has some serious drawbacks so I don't use it (mainly the inability to restore individual files)

Another thing is that you can base filesystems upon other ones so you can use it to create one jail (like docker container) that you keep updated and base your other ones off it. A bit like docker layers do. Yes this one is very FreeBSD specific.

And finally, doing a scrub to check for bitrot can really save your bacon.

So in my examples most useful features stem from its snapshot functionality.
Oh yeah absolutely, I'll just stop sharing my opinion of one of the most highly trafficked websites in the world.
Very cool!

Thanks, but don't need it. (Actually a platelet donor.) I couldn't fit a whole AC/DC title into hn's restrictions, and it originally had something to do with electricity.
All true. 25 or 30 years ago I would manually visit specific people’s web sites to see what new stuff they posted. That was not as inconvenient as you might think. The density of information I wanted on the 100 or so sites I had bookmarked was higher than now by far. Blogs used to handle notifications well.

Now, I basically depend on X and even on Facebook to shout out when I have a new book or open source project I want people to check out. This is far from perfect, but requires little of my time. For me to keep producing reading and code content, I feel like I need about 1000 to 2000 ‘true fans’ and I think I have that so I am happy.

For most young people starting to build a web presense, I think it must be much more difficult to get started. Still, I notice some young people creating amazing open source projects and they can create a living pretty quickly. I enjoy reading code as much as the words people write.
Shouldn't churches evoke feelings of divinity instead of oppression? (I know it's popular to hate on brutalist architecture, but really isn't a place of worship the last place you'd want it?)
