Look, I understand where you are coming from, I've been there. Living in the rural area, not having access to even a store to buy games, let alone having the money at that age.

But the word you said there: "choose"... I don't think people have "chosen" this.

There are games out there that use 22 different in-game currencies [1]. The way these are interlinked with in game mechanics would make Machiavelli sweat.

Everything in these games is calculated to achieve maximum retention and profits. Yes, the farming, the wasted hours for free users, are backed by statistical and psychological precision. Everything is calculated so a free user is taken to its absolute patience limit, but never actually reach it.

While I would've been more inclined to agree with you say... 10 years ago, today's online purchases are made as frictionless as possible. Kids might not have money themselves and parents should be more cautious about these things, but young adults clearly have the means.

This is a very easy way to have an addiction problem. I do not consider the act of playing video games in general to promote addiction, but the money syphoning tactics these games employ are clearly meant to promote it. Without a sliver of a doubt. Otherwise these companies wouldn't make money to begin with.

> By design, the sqlite3-ruby gem does not release the GVL when calling SQLite. For the most part, this is a reasonable decision [...]

Following the issue comment link https://github.com/sparklemotion/sqlite3-ruby/issues/287#iss..., it sounds like they they had a suspicion about a significant cost of reacquiring the lock but didn't validate it. Sounds iffy especially given all this workaround effort.

I feel in eg Python extensions culture this would have gotten designed the other way (maybe someone knows how it's done there?).

edit: also, there's this other comment in the linked issue:

> The extralite gem is an alternative SQLite client which releases the GVL during blocking, see note on concurrency here: https://github.com/digital-fabric/extralite?tab=readme-ov-fi.... It is both significantly faster than this gem in general and doesn't have concurrency issues.

> I am firmly of the opinion that keeping the comments up to date is part of the job of the developer.

I see where this comes from, but practicality is a huge issue. Comments don't become obsolete just by laziness, but also because they are human targeted and can't easily be managed the same way code is.

For instance if you comment on a function call to explain it's needed because of its side effects, when the function gets fixed and loses that side effect your comment becomes obsolete.

Will the person fixing the inner function go back to every single comment that vaguely references it's behaviour and fix them ? And do they also go to the one-up parent function to check the comments there ? If we're assuming large orgs with expansive code bases, it's just not realisitic to be dealing with all that prose and maintain consistency when what you're modifying can be mentioned anywhere is any tangential way.

Why? We have a major problem right now; cars are deathtraps and roads are murder weapons. We haven't been able to do anything about that historically without taking unacceptable economic damage, but we're right on the cusp of massive improvements to the situation.

How the top 10% of drivers are going in amongst all that isn't really a factor as far as I can see. They'll probably end up banned from taking the wheel at some point for consistencies sake but they are ultimately not really a factor. Besides, automated cars will overtake (hehe) their skills at some point whether we track it specifically or not; in the long term humans can't compete against an engineered process.
The raw data is available for download and you can compare not getting into any accidents to their number of accidents per however many hundreds of thousands of miles.

https://waymo.com/safety/impact/#downloads

There isn't much to the data available for download, but it looks like 0.00001207261588 accidents per mile, or ~1.2 accidents per 100,000 miles (268/22199000). Figuring your father drives 15k miles per year, times 30 years and rounding up to 500k miles, Waymo has a recorded 6 accidents to your father's 0.

Not sure why that's an interesting comparison, however.

Assuming your dad is good at not driving when he shouldn't (tired/drunk/angry), he's not on the road when it's worrisome. I don't worry about getting into accidents with drivers who aren't on the road, I worry about the tired/drunk/angry drivers I do have to share the road with. Waymo at 2:15am after the bars let out is much less worrisome than any other car at that time, because I have no idea who's in that other car. Your father could be the safest driver ever, but I have no idea if it's him in the other car, or if that driver is totally blacked out and shouldn't be driving.

Gearless Magnetic Transmission – You Can't Break These Gears (2023) [video]
Interestingly, many universal power supplies (as in, works in the US and in Europe without doing anything to the PSU) are naturally capable of digesting 200~300V unregulated DC.
Beware though that DC arcs above 500mA will not easily extinguish, so devices should not be plugged under load (and if it can't be helped, a rapid yoink keeps the arc from burning the contacts).

Circuit breakers have to be used with 2 poles in series and mechanically linked to switch together. Check the datasheet for details. Mains fuses with a suitable DC rating on their datasheet are readily available, though.
I'll bet that drivers become more aggressive because the Waymo actually obeys speed limits, while human drivers rarely do.
I would think the software with AI becomes available to the students for learning and starting with key animations becomes the thing you learn how to do as a novice. I don’t know how feasible that is, but in my experience software and techniques become more obtainable over time.
If I stubbed out, for example, a Java or c++ class and gave “an ai” a well-crafted prompt to write the guts, it would go like this: either spend an absurd about of time writing and rewriting prompts to get a garbage result that needs re-writing/debugging, or spend the same amount of time writing the code myself.

Edit: I forgot the important bit: why is animation any different.

Ask HN: Video editing library for browser similar to moviepy
Hi everyone,

This is Pankaj from India. I am the co-founder of Kiffer AI. We are building a marketing product that requires video generation on the fly. So far, we have been using MoviePy in the backend, but now we need a browser-based video editor for users to edit those videos, similar to Canva. We explored various options but couldn't find an open-source library in JavaScript that meets our needs.

As a result, we have started building the library internally to support our use case since it is central to what we are doing. Would there be any interest if we open-source it, allowing others in the same domain to contribute and help develop it faster and better?
Well written, and timely for me to get inspiration from. I have been going back and forth between doing off-the-shelf vs using opnsense/pfsense in a rackmount router. Haven't made mind on it yet.

> For instance if you comment on a function call to explain it's needed because of its side effects, when the function gets fixed and loses that side effect your comment becomes obsolete.

And if you have a function call in your code that doesn't look like it does anything and don't comment it, then you're doing it wrong.

And if the person who wrote `functionWithSideEffects` changes it to not have side effects anymore, and the places that call it for the side effects don't get updated then, once again, someone isn't doing their job.

Keeping comments up to date is no different than keeping code up to date, or tests up to date, or removing code that isn't needed anymore, or cleaning code up so it doesn't turn into spaghetti, or anything else we do as developers. Does it always get done? Of course not. But that doesn't mean it shouldn't get done.

The article describes how the oxidation, which causes the ink to darken, causes a reaction between tannic acid and these newly created ferric ions. Doesn't that neutralise the acidity? If so, perhaps it is a case of 'survivorship bias' in the old manuscripts which do survive, as they had just the right ratio of tannic acid to iron ions to completely neutralise, whereas the books written with ink containing not enough iron ions would be damaged and discarded.
I am a Bruno paid user, and I appreciate its design philosophy, such as being local-first and using a text-based DSL to represent request structures. However, the experience with Bruno has been somewhat unsatisfying. It takes a long time to start, and the UI always feels laggy, not to mention that it significantly increases the temperature of my M1 Mac.

I tried Yaak today and found that it not only has a smaller package size (160MB compared to Bruno's 300MB) but also runs very smoothly. The UI is so intuitive that it initially seems like it might be missing some features, but I soon found that it has all the necessary features to support regular use cases. I hope Yaak can support Git sync, and if it does, I will replace Bruno with it. Nevertheless, I will support Yaak if you have any business plans; it is a beautiful app worth paying for.

Not to be critical, but the homelabs I find truly impressive are the objectively unpretty ones.

Same with tech worker “shortages” in places like the UK and Australia.

No, what you have is a shortage of people willing to fill your vacancy at those prices.

Particularly in Perth there is a whole shadow economy of people working remotely for overseas firms, because local positions don’t pay the bills. This doesn’t say “shortage” to me, it says “cheap”.

And in the UK most small/medium businesses seem stuck in a vicious cycle of low pay, low productivity and low expectations.

> majority of cars on the road will be self-driving

Surveillance state would love that! Hundreds of thousands of cars with 360 degree cameras and sensors capturing everything inside and outside the vehicle. Forget installing CC cameras. just claim “nAtIoNaL sEcUrItY”, get a rubber stamped warrant from FISA court, and go to town.

A problem created by cars (pedestrian vs car, MVA accidents) may be solved by self driving cars. But we introduced a perfect system to allow a foreign or domestic state to perform over reaching surveillance. Ripe for abuse as well.

All of this nonsense could have been avoided if cities were just built with alternative transportation methods in mind. But nope, we have to use cars for every stupid little activity.

Wasteful. Polluting.
Be that as it may, I think the point still stands that safety is actually not the primary concern when it comes to how we decide what is acceptable on the roads.

As a society, we tacitly accept significant death and injury every year because making the changes to avoid said death and injury would render the roads unfit for actually transporting people at the speed and volume that society and the economy require.

There are other options, for example mass public transport that (as far as I'm aware) is much safer than road travel, but the US seems unable to to invest in it seriously for whatever reason.
