Would love to see a pterosaur / bat version of this drone. Birds use one set of muscles to jump in the air and another to flap their wings, limiting how big they can get. That’s because, if you make your wing muscles bigger, then you need bigger leg muscles to support them, then you need bigger wing muscles to support your legs, etc. pterosaurs and bats have tiny little legs and use their “arm” (wing) muscles to do the initial jump into the air. It’s just one set of muscles that are used for both functions, which is why pterosaurs were able to get so big. It does beg the question, tho, why we haven’t seen any truly giant bats.

This pbs aeons video has a great explanation: https://youtu.be/scAp-fncp64?si=hjeWKGBI7riyjE1M
> limiting factors that prevented thunderbolt 5 capable equipment to be built in 2022 already

Lots of factors e.g cost, chip availability, heat dissipation, etc. Sure I would prefer upgrading laptop ports from 10Gbps directly to 100Gbps, but not if it costs 10x more and burns up battery.
I think this conflates Microsoft and Windows. SteamOS threatens Windows, maybe, hopefully, but Microsoft is, and has been for a long time much bigger than Windows is.

> Occam's razor

* Trump has explicitly threatened to jail Mark Zuckerberg [1]

* Trump has threatened to use the justice system against his enemies

* Trump's 'best mate' (who's about to get a job in government) owns a rival social network

* Facebook banned Trump over the Jan 6th insurrection

* Trump could use the banning of TikTok as leverage

With all that Occam's Razor tells you that an authoritarian leader is taking over the USA and the oligarchy that are the tech-billionaires are lining up behind him lest they feel his wrath.

These are extremely dangerous times for the US. An authoritarian leader paired with an extreme concentration of power (the tech companies). You have something approaching a turnkey feudal system. With willing participants.

eh. This probably shouldn't have gotten so many votes, but it's a little interesting from a logic standpoint. It falls somewhere in the region of a StackOverflow question that makes some people scratch their heads and functions as nerdbait for everyone who knows the answer. These things don't rank for that long on HN, (and I agree that the self-important "expert" blog posture is silly), but I do find them to be a better daily checkin for my brain than actually going on S.O. anymore...
Your title says "people who did hard things" then you say "less interested in people..."

It sounds like you want second hand accounts of the events or groups that occurred around "hard things". Like a description of NASA going to the moon, but not the accounts of a particular astronaut.

What is a "hard thing"?

I know this is unequivocally a bad solution, but LG is weirdly good about supporting remotes across generations.

No guarantees about the 2025 model, but a couple of years back I specifically bought a _newer_ remote, because my 2018 model didn’t have a pause button, but the 2019 ones did. Everything worked fine out of the box.

Expanding on this a bit, if the manifest is available at compile time it's included as a resource in the executable by the RC resource compiler. You can embed a manifest into an existing executable with mt.exe. Embedding the application manifest is recommended.

If you can't embed it for some reason, then you can distribute the application manifest side-by-side with the executable by appending ".manifest" to the binary filename. In this case probably already have defensive checks for other resources not being found if a user copies just the exe, and if not can add one and exit.
Why Did We Wait So Long for Wind Power?
Yeah... the article has a lot of "simplifications" that the reader has to just kind of trust the author on... and those are meant for people with not a lot of mathematical sophistication. All this talk about "shrink fast enough" and why it's important is just some intense handwaving w/o any actual explanation.

To be fair, it's kind of upsetting, but maybe there's no way to help it... some mathematical proofs can be "dumbed down" to the point that people with very little background can understand them. The proof of sqrt(2) being irrational might be one of those. But, what's given in the article feels like either the author didn't really understand the subject, or she couldn't explain what she understood in simple terms. But, it's really rare that there's such an easy to understand proof or concept. So, I don't blame her.
Recently we've had multiple companies abandoning their climate pledges agreements, they're just bowing to the dictums and trying to appease the court of the newly appointed king in Washington.

Been there. Very personality driven business, making tons of money with prebid. The whole business was a tangled mess. I lasted 3 months and the crazy thing is, the trigger to leave wasn't even the mess and the absolute lack of onboarding or technical leadership. I was willing to help them fix it. But the owner had a habit of yelling at employees and by the 3rd time I witnessed it was happening to me and I quit on the spot.

I have deep but vague thoughts around the concept. My first intuition is that we have put too many things under NULL and None and such.

Partially, we use ... and I'll be very broad here ... "variables" as boxes we look in for answers. Answers to questions, answers to "Hey I put something in there for the time being to reference later." If I went into programming terms rather than just SQL, sometimes we get meta-answers.

You haven't made the box yet (declared the variable).

You haven't decided how the box is structured (picked a type or a length or something).

Okay, you did those but the box is virgin (nothing has been placed in the box yet).

That kind of thing. An empty set for "yes, you asked but nothing meets those criteria."
This is great! Just yesterday I was looking at wxruby3 but I didn’t see a way to package/distribute apps. This does solve that problem.
> B) Demographics are now working against us instead of for us -- turns out everyone has decided not to have kids, which means an end to population growth, consumption growth, ergo hiring growth

Even in the case of population growth things will not look better especially because we are in the middle of a tragedy of the commons, we are exhausting the resources of the planet faster than what it takes to regenerate them. What's the plan for more consumption when there's nothing to produce? or that cost so much that only a few could afford that?

That idea makes sense in an American context where there is a clear divide between indigenous and more recent groups. The same is true of some other places like Australia.

In Eurasia and Africa this does not work. "The oldest traceable group" may be many invasions, conquests and mass migrations after the things were made. The current residents or earliest traceable group may well have enslaved, oppressed, or killed the group who made the things. In many, many cases they would have erased the culture that made them.

In the case of these tablets there is no one who can meaningfully claim to be an Akkadian.
Nice, I'm eager to upgrade as it's really cool to have a single cable to hook up my laptop to all my peripherals and monitors, but so far resolution & refresh rate were quite limited in multi-monitor setups, I think that new standard should finally be able to drive a 4k display at 240 Hz. I don't see many Thunderbolt 5 docks yet though, always liked the Lenovo ones but it seems they don't have an upgrade yet.
You can't possibly pretend to understand the laws from every single country. That is the reason why you need a lawyer. This app targets all countries in the world. Even if it was just for the US, you would need one.
I have hard time to understand what they mean by "early access micro services"...?

Does it mean that it is yet another wrapper library to call they proprietary cloud api?

Or that when you have the specific access right, you can retrieve a proprietary docker image with secret proprietary binary stuffs inside that will be the server used by the library available in GitHub?
It's not that simple. Depending on the culture, interacting with people of drastically different ages can be uncomfortable for all involved. If you add the general lack of soft skills among programmers, it's easy to see why someone would prefer a "safer" group that's closer to their age over the more general community.
what's a FAST service? never heard of the term, and the phrase "fast service" isn't exactly easily searchable.
> Possession or distribution of his books is still not allowed in Germany.

AFAIK this has never been true in Germany (for the book Mein Kampf at least). AFAIK the German state of Bavaria inherited Hitler's copyright on the book, and did not republish it. This means that no one was allowed to print it for copyright reasons, but you could still own or trade existing copies of the book. After 2015, 70 years after Hitler's death, the book entered the public domain. Looking into Wikipedia, uncommented reprints have been forbidden: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mein_Kampf&oldid=..., which I didn't know before.

Two Nuclear Microreactors Reach Milestone
1. you build app for people to add critical and highly personal there yet you haven't even provided your name, company or even a single policy that might make its users trust you, why are you hiding your identity? It looks shady due to that. I understand it is a beta, but I think you should have it as it affects how people perceive your app

2. what happens if I at some point give access to this app to my care assistant who works for the state health department or a health company? Surely, those people are covered entities, and you would be then under HIPPA laws. There is nothing you can do to stop that and if your app becomes popular enough, given enough time it will happen

3. For countries in the EU, you are subject to the GDPR legislation. Who is the data processor, data protection officer and the supervising authority for the data handled by the app?
Author here—thanks for trying out tv and for sharing your feedback, I really appreciate it.

The preview window in tv is designed to compute its content asynchronously. This approach ensures smooth input handling and maintains overall UI responsiveness. You can test this yourself by using a custom preview command that simulates a delay, like so:

tv --preview "sleep 1 && echo 'the preview'"

You'll notice that even with a delay, the UI remains responsive and doesn't block.

That said, I'm sure there's always room for improvement, and I'd be happy to hear your thoughts or suggestions if you're open to discussing it further.

They're mammals, birds have different respiratory system

"Flow-Through Ventilation

Unlike mammals, birds breathe through continuous one-directional flow of air through the respiratory system. We take air in and breathe it out, sort of like the tide moves in and out of a bay. As a result, our breathing system is said to be tidal. Avians have a non-tidal respiratory system, with air flowing more like a running stream."

Xcancel has a pretty large pool, so does poast's instance.
I used to subscribe to the "60Hz is enough for anyone" idea, but after using a high refresh rate monitor for a while, I have to admit it does feel a lot nicer to work with. Even small things, like window animations, feel a lot smoother by just a 50% increase in frame rate. Even Apple has upgraded their mobile displays to surpass 60Hz.

With gaming monitors now doing ludicrous things like 1440p@480fps, I don't think 5k@120fps would even be difficult for manufacturers.

Stuffing everything over a DP 2.0 connection may be difficult, though, but DP 2.1 has been with us for a while now. 5k at 195fps (159fps with HDR enabled) can already be achieved with a standard DP 2.1 port.

When it comes to displays, I think we're currently limited by GPUs rather than Displays. Nvidia's 40 series GPUs only come with DP 1.4, for instance. Until 2.1(b) gains wide support, it doesn't make any sense to build monitors that rely on it to do their job well.
Don’t give yourself credit for understanding the “much more complicated” picture of the invasion than what other people are identifying.

You’re right here saying that it’s a resource grab. That’s what everyone else identifies it as too. You don’t have a more “complicated” picture or a more complete one, just one that’s devoid of a moral imperative.
For my use case it's because I want the high resolution for my 9-5 work, but the high refresh rate for when I start playing games, I'm perfectly happy to drop the resolution down to 1080p or 1440p while gaming in order to get high framerate.

It depends a lot on the way you write JavaScript. If you work with React, like FP and make everything you can immutable, you’ll probably find it easy.

If you write JavaScript like it’s Java and really lean into OO, then Elixir will be more alien and force you to learn some new patterns.

Hard to not give a somewhat generic answer without the kind of ideas of things that need to be manufactured (and in which area).

That's quite interesting. I take half a Zolpidem once a week or so and I'll try taking it with caffeine.

So if your issue is getting to sleep and not staying asleep I would recommend you try the original.
