Yeah, the Voodoo 1 converted a typically 320x240 pixel soup into 640x480 at about 60 fps - it was night and day, a 4x improvement. But 3dfx weren't really able to advance much. The Voodoo 2 and 3 were just more of the same, only faster and slightly higher resolution. They looked similarly blurry - aggressive MIP texture filtering. It felt like the people who made 3dfx take off were either pushed out or quit.

Hey, devs!
I just published an in-depth guide on TypeScript's utility types. If you're looking to level up your TypeScript skills, this article covers all the essential utility types, their definitions, practical use cases, and real-world examples.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, this guide will help you harness the full power of TypeScript and write cleaner, more robust code. Check it out here:

I suppose they opted for a conservative upgrade policy, as v8.4 probably includes all the functional additions/changes of the previous v8.1+ versions, and moving to it would have been a very big step.

MySQL is very unstable software - hopefully this will be past - and it's very reasonable to go for the smallest upgrade steps possible.

But if you say that a battleship floats on the water in a similar way to a rubber duck floating in the water... it's actually not similar... they are the same. It's the same water and the same physics. The "only" appreciable difference is scale.

I believe the original author referred to the importance of intentionally focusing on something that isn't stimulating enough to create a sense of flow. It requires mindful effort to truly pay attention.

In essence, it's about being present without an occupied mind. In my experience, this can make time seem to pass more slowly, but in a pleasant way, even if it's somewhat subdued compared to a state of flow.
That kind of value only matters as long as you can find an ecosystem of companies that can be convinced to pay you what you think that value is worth.

That's because CPS is the callback hell.

Promises are a mechanism that was devised to separate the composition mechanism and the function itself, much like shell pipes exist to separate the control flow from the called function.

In this article, they implement a pipe-like mechanism, that avoids having to do "traditional" CPS. That is why they say the continuation is implicit. That being said, that mechanism goes further than that, and looks very much like Haskell's do-notation which enables programmers to use functional languages in an imperative style without knowing too much of the underlying implementation.

That's it, I think. I think as long as enough of us actually do that, it'll make a difference. People seem to think that you need 50%+ of the users to "rebel" for there to be change, but the truth is that not all "users" are created equal. Developers, tech supporters (personal or professional), and "power users" matter more than typical users because it's our feedback, contributions, and demands that keep pushing these products forward. The "normies" will use whatever you put in front of them and they won't know or care that something could or should be different. If the nerds leave, the product will stagnate and other options will pick up steam.

> I half agree with this rule. I think that it's OK to break things as long as you make a semantic version change _and_ provide automated tooling for upgrading old code. If you can't build this tool, that is a strong negative signal for both versions of the language.

I'd be happy to find automated tooling for upgrading old code that actually works. Python 2to3 converter worked on simple code but would fail on anything mildly complex (what would that tell about the Python language then :P).

IMHO, breaking language could makes sense if you have built-in runtime (like golang) or you ship native binaries that depend solely on kernel or libc (C/C++). You build your program and ship it to the clients. But, when you have a runtime like Python, you must also force clients to upgrade it. And the problem with Python is that you can't easily do that because system stuff usually depends on a particular version (yum/dnf, ubuntu services, and so on). And, unlike Java, the Python community only advertises a little about having multiple Python versions installed simultaneously.

> What I don't like about say, c, is that it has various backward compatible additive dialects like c11 vs c99. ... At some point there needs to be a successor rather than just piling on to old broken designs.

This is why people are still using C. There are many successors with varying success (D, C++, Rust, Zig...) and much more added complexity to the language and runtime. Language simplicity, compilation speed, and compiler simplicity - all of that was lost.
You're ignoring what I actually said about the quotes—I read all of that and I don't care when the term originated, that's pointless pedantry. The medieval kings thought of themselves as reconquering, so reconquista is a decent word to describe what they thought they were doing, regardless of its origins.
The ring has a very minimal interface. Apart from the sensors - an accelerometer to count steps and two LEDs with photodiode to get heart rate and blood oxygen - there is one status LED on the inside to indicating charging. That's it. The ring is a pure data collection device that basically can't be interacted with without the app.

Maybe they could have required you to hit the ring on a surface to initiate pairing mode. But as it stands the ring will pair with any device that asks for it.

I'm looking forward to someone making a custom firmware for these rings. There is some work in the linked ATC_RF03 project, but I'm not sure if anyone is still working on it
GP quite literally acknowledged the injustices that happened in the sentence before the one you quoted.

Saying the Columbus' expedition brought humanity together is a descriptive statement because it did in fact permanently connect groups of humans who had lived separately for thousands of years.

Also if you think it's culturally insensitive to describe the effects of European colonization (positive and negative), then I think you'll find it hard to discuss almost any historical events because cruelty has existed everywhere. This isn't whataboutism btw, my point is that sensitivity should not be a primary concern in a rational discussion about history because history is harsh subject.

Why not ask Jesus?

He additionally said that many who claim to be Christian are not, and will be judged accordingly.

many parisians take the bus to go through paths that are not covered well by subway especially true for horizontal paths for instance in left bank. ive seen a few stabbings myself taking rer and subway. i was even there when a random guy was stabbing people a few years back in st denis for no reason. I saw young people take out knives to fight after an argument, I ve seen people holding knives to threaten others. why do you think even the SNCF when they moved their office to saint denis wanted to have a specific arrival gate for their employees-only before backtracking when someone smarter than the average told them it would send the wrong message? have you came out next to barbes? have you seen that people got murdered just in front of gare du nord for no reason? have you been to north east stations where a horde (the right word) of junkies are crawling in the station and are all dangerous?

Indeed, even the largest is literally an invisible dot on an invisible dot — a while back I was playing around and made a video of the actual scale of various megastructures with Earth and the sun for scale, starting with a Halo ring next to Earth, zooming out until it was a dot revealed it was in the middle of a Banks Orbital, zooming out further until that was nearly invisible revealed it was next to a Niven Ringworld, and the zoom continued until you could see the sun.

Ceres is the biggest asteroid, is less than 1/10th the diameter of Earth, and orbits the sun between 2.55 and 2.98 times Earth's orbit.

There is no reason that the channel spacing need limit the sideband bandwidth.

The only downside to this is that listeners on adjacent stations hear a slight "monkey chatter" from the overlapping sidebands.

This is one of many reasons why station frequencies are never allocated close to stations which are physically close.

You only need glance at the waterfall display on a good SDR receiver to see that the actual audio bandwidth is often much wider than the channel spacing implies.
> It's possible that SpaceX programed the AFTS to trigger some time after the rocket touched down in the water. Just to make sure that it completely submerges quickly.

The SpaceX host on the stream said that they were going to try and touch it down on the water at more of an angle than the previous flight to attempt to get it to survive the initial splash-down so they could get some more data and video footage.

Obviously this wasn't guaranteed to succeed, but it indicates that they weren't planning to immediately detonate the ship on touchdown.

As I recall it was common on the early Falcon 9 landing tests that splashed down in the ocean to also explode after tipping over and smacking the water. Once they're actually landing them on a pad, tower, or ship that should be much less of an issue.
Sorry but employees are not entitled to get paid to learn whatever technology they want during work.

It doesn't look like the Z1 does payment either, though. I don't know how they do U2F, but it looks like it comes with a custom reader, which is non-standard. I don't know how Tesla unlock works, so I can't say there.
It's possible the OP was just trying out different storefronts and either doesn't have finalized assets or doesn't want to pull them up to try it out.

> It doesn't matter if you can in theory stop but not do it or if you cannot physically stop

It matters a lot, if you want to use the term "addiction".

Addiction has many definitions, but usually it involves a habit or compusion to some behaviour or consumption of some substance, often with and despite negative consequences (e.g. mental or physical health, employment issues, relationship issues), and often with negative consequences (e.g. withdrawal symptoms) upon cessation.

A single large beer every evening may be a habit, and your friends may miss that habit if they were to stop, but I'd suspect they don't experience significant negative life consequences from that single large beer, and nor would they experience symptoms of physical withdrawal if they stopped.
Yes, LessWrong and the Alignment Forum have a lot of excellent writing and a great community. It may not be to everyone's taste, however.

For people that have demonstrated various levels of commitment, such as post-graduate study and/or continuing education, there are various forums available.

I'm also interested to see what other people have found.
All I want is a good TUI git log viewer. I'm perfectly happy to do all the operations on the command line, but navigating the log works well interactively (e.g. start as --first-parent, with single line entries and then be able to selectively show branch commits, and patches for commits).

I end up with a log view and then copy and paste commit hashes to do different things. Or use Sublime Merge which is great, but doesn't work over SSH.
I would venture a guess that the division of MS that issues C&D letters is probably 5 steps away from leadership at Github that could implement something like suspending your github account and removing access to repositories. THe ol' one hand doesn't talk to the other type of thing.

That being said, if you are doing something that is attracting the attention of a legal department of a Fortune 15 company, my guess is your customers would flee to competitors if they knew that.

Host your code elsewhere (gitlab?) and retain legal counsel that can help you navigate this. Asking internet strangers for advice isn't likely to be beneficial.
It’s become trendy to slam on the U.K., often by its citizens, but I think the doom and gloom is overdone. Nowhere more is that the case than in techie circles where people earning higher salaries than they would in most other European countries moan about how it’s a shithole.

Fundamentally it’s still a good place to live. We have a good education system. Sure, you might have to choose between a longer commute or leaving London and accepting a bit of a lower salary in a different city but that’s true the world over.
I was working at a small animation studio back when the GeForce 256 was released. I distinctly remember one our animators buying one, popping into a 'random' Wintel machine, installing Maya, and having it run many of our scenes comparable to our very expensive SGI and Intergraph workstations. Everybody instantly realised that this was the future. 2 years later virtually the entire studio was running on commodity hardware costing less than a quarter of what we used to pay for workstations.
Technical gatekeeping is a thing, and definitely a problem at times.

This is particularly problematic when dealing with concepts that aren't fully understood, even by their originators, as these might contain valuable insights despite their apparent strangeness. The risk of losing out on potentially groundbreaking perspectives must be weighed against the importance of scientific integrity. To address this, the technical community could benefit from fostering more open dialogue, encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration, and creating spaces where speculative ideas can be explored without immediate judgment.

My point was that the HN submitter explicitly added 'Windows 11' to the title, (which is generally against HN guidelines, unless the original really isn't understandable) - that it wasn't written in the title of the Reddit post by the person who found it works.

That said, I just noticed that the thread was at least submitted in the Windows 11 subreddit, so the addition to the title here wasn't as random as I had thought. So if they had added 'Windows' without the 11 then I'd personally have considered it an edit that was reasonable to break the HN guidelines for (therefore the intent was also reasonable for adding Windows 11 even though the result was slightly worse).
When have you last been? They have recently improved the de jure treatment of gay people. (The de facto treatment hasn't changed.)

I agree that the laws about homosexuality are weird, but they are also democratic: it's broadly in line with what the population wants as far as I can tell.
But also Saramago, Gadda, García Márquez, or Victor Hugo and his 800+ words sentence. Stream of consciousness usually has long paragraphs, but it’s quite common in other genres (I feel like genres is not the right word for it. Techniques?). Popular fiction is the only one that usually avoids long sentences/paragraphs/chapters.

I wish the team tons of luck, I monitor the pricing page monthly usually, just hoping to see a small uptick in starter limits as unlimited is just not my use case. $8.00 for unlimited and again, I would sign up just to support them.
