He doesn’t do that. People who don’t like him claim that he does without any basis to it, and you’re perpetuating this hyperbole by claiming it as fact when the very thing you linked doesn’t even go that far.

Musk sucks, attack him for valid reasons like racism instead of some made up bullshit about cheating at video games.
I'll probably wait for the OLED version, which they will obviously release maybe 2-3 years down the line.

I have a steam deck right now which has more than enough games to keep me busy for a few more years.
I dropped my Switch from knee height, and now the left hand joycon is slightly loose and disconnects from too much upward pressure. Maybe the damage is on the joycon, but it seems more likely the mechanism (don't have a spare to test).

The new joycon connector looks more robust.

So you’re living out the trope of reinventing Django but lower quality :-)

Maybe ask around about SQLModel. It sounds like the perfect solution, but I’ve never encountered someone that used it and didn’t have the opinion that it isn’t ready for production.
Spitballing, but a HDR digital camera could be designed with a beamsplitter similar to that of the 3CCD ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-CCD_camera ) designs that projects to an assembly with only a sensor behind it, another to an assembly that has a 4 stop neutral density and sensor, and another to an assembly that has an 8 stop neutral density and and sensor.

This way it wouldn't suffer from any parallax issues and sensor images should then also line up to allow it to be reconstructed from the multiple sources.

That said... HDR images can be "bland" with it being washed out. It would probably take a bit more post processing work to get the image both high dynamic range and providing the dynamism of what those old Saturn V launches showed.
Cool, a new steam deck, but it can only run some games at a lower FPS.
Missing 4K is notable in the current Switch.
I've often ran into this when using DVLA services and spluttered with indignation. But at the end of the day, these services are fantastically usable (during the daytime) and I appreciate Dafydd pushing to just get them out there!

I got my license in 2015 so never in my life have I had the apparently ubiquitous American experience of queuing at the DMV and filling in paper forms. (is this still real? or limited to stand-up comedy?)
Ooh, thank you for the reminder to see where the state of emulation is. I played Breath of the Wild on both Switch and on PC under emulation, and the difference was night and day. The stuttering on the Switch distracted quite a bit. My PC played in beautiful 4k.
There are already “infinite” websites like these on the Internet.

Crawlers (both AI and regular search) have a set number of pages they want to crawl per domain. This number is usually determined by the popularity of the domain.

Unknown websites will get very few crawls per day whereas popular sites millions.

The money in itself is a problem. People with that amount of wealth are separated from the rest of humanity (and most of the time go to great lengths to make sure they absolutely never cross path with ordinary humans). They don't have the same goals as everyone else, they don't face the same issues, they contribute to climate change in extreme proportions while escaping its most urgent consequences (for the time being).

They have enough influence in the world as it is, for the rest of us not voluntarily giving up some of our precious time to listen to what they have to say.

There are two things that don't sit right with me:

1. "the FOSS community shouldered the burden – both with our labor and our wallets – of a massive exodus onto our volunteer-operated servers" -- this implies that users actually using decentralized services is a burden, a bad thing. Or rather, that a) it would be much better if Twitter was better and people just continued using Twitter rather than FOSS platforms b) that Twitter has some kind of obligation to keep their platform good because not doing so will make people use FOSS services. If the operators don't want their service to be used, they don't have to offer it...

2. "No billionaires" as a motto, implying that having money in itself (and not a specific way of behaving) is wrong, unethical, and worthy of exclusion. That feels like an very common envy-based position, trying to tear people down because they are better off. He does have reasonable points for not wanting that specific billionaire, but the demand for exclusion is "no billionaires". Should e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Acton not be allowed/given a platform at FOSDEM?
the mention of lack of Java was also very indicative of the mindset
Not to take a position on those particular accusations but a problem with activist shorting in general is the people running the companies in question are often pissed of and aggressive and will try to take legal and PR action against the shorters.
I once used dnSpy to patch a bug in a corporate application we were using. The original developer had left the vendor company, and they were trying to triage to an outsourced company who "fixed it" multiple times. It's a valuable tool and great to see it's continuing.
What we're doing here to get higher SNR, generally, is growing the CMOS sensors larger and larger. The limitation is ultimately either depth of field or IC manufacturing issues. A hypothetical meter-wide sensor could be manufactured to combine with a catadioptric lense of extreme cost, but you'd expect most of a scene to be bokeh, like in macro or microscope lenses.

In reality there are limits imposed by manufacturing. At the extreme, we have wafer-scale sensors used in, eg, night-time wildlife videography - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11497922/ . Anything larger than that is typically a not-perfectly-contiguous array of smaller chips.

You can also cryocool the camera, at the expense of weight, versatility, and complexity. Most astrophotography is collected with cryocooled CCD or cryocooled CMOS sensors. This helps much more with long exposures than it does with video, but it does help.
Obviously this is highly location dependent, and I don't doubt there are places where this is true.

Also, there may not be sufficient people in your area to support independent businesses that believe in providing more value at a higher price.

But it's worth looking and asking around. They may exist, but you won't see them on TV. Ask in local Facebook groups, look out for weekend markets and do on. Asking in those places can give you clues.

But I agree that the vast majority of Americans care only about price, so there will be lots of places where quality simply doesn't exist outside of what you cook yourself.

Not many. I grew up in a developing country so making money and getting out of low middle class has always been on my mind since childhood. So I don't have much interest in inventors that remains poor. Though I love Feynman if you count him as an inventor. Funny enough PayPal helped me make my first income by doing a remote job when I was in school.
It would be more efficient for them to spin up a team to study this robots.txt thing. They've ignored that low hanging fruit, so they won't do the more sophisticated thing any time soon.
The joycons seem to attach as easily as a MagSafe connector… but I hope they don't detach as easily! I wonder if the handheld ergonomics were battle-tested to prevent accidental joycon detachment while gaming.
> Also this is why we can't quickly build many reactors to ramp up electric generation for millions of new electric cars, etc.

"We" here means any country on the planet. Nuclear plants are simply inherently more complicated and more risky to build that the alternatives. Even China, who often rightly, gets criticized for pushing through individual rights on such projects can't build them quickly.

Look at the shape of these curves [1], nuclear is flatlining while renewables are accelerating at incredible speed.

That's fascinating. It really seems that a lot of businesses end up hyper-optimized to deliver what they already offer, up until the point where anything that isn't a current offer is attacked by corporate antibodies. And that's when the growth they've optimized for suddenly stops.
Now I can't find that poem about Elop sinking the Nokia ship or something like that.

Ask HN: Banned from Discord (9-year user) over an abandoned server – Advice?
Hi HN,

I've been a Discord user (namrog84) since Jan 2016 and it's crucial for my personal friendships and professional game dev work. Three months ago, I was permanently banned (Oct 2026?) without any warnings. Apparently because an old server I created for the game Dark and Darker was left abandoned and unmoderated.

Now, not only have I lost contact with friends and collaborators, but I'm also cut off from essential support channels for development tools and communities. Despite multiple appeal attempts (all seemingly automated rejections), I don't think I've had a real conversation with Trust & Safety. I acknowledge as a server creator I share responsibility for moderation, but without any prior warnings a permanent ban seems disproportionate.

Discord was my primary social outlet after I left my role at Microsoft, so losing that network has been personally tough and professionally limiting.

Is there any proven path forward or guidance from the HN Community? Are there lessons from others who've faced similar bans and found success either in reinstating their accounts or otherwise? any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated.

Full additional details (timelines, appeals, screenshots, and such here): https://gist.github.com/namrog84/684f5e8ea854d7d04c149854b84bdce7

I doubt they attach like that I think it’s just for the video… looking again there are holes at the top and bottom of the joycons presumably for some kind of locking mechanism to fit into.
> For example, the bullet "scaling the user experience to lower HW specs may be challenging. iPhone mini may be closer to iPod UI" comment still suggests they were stuck in the mindset of the time. They thought it was unlikely that Apple could deliver a horizontal platform, rather Apple would be launch a series of individual phones at different prices, each with bespoke interfaces, just like all the players had been doing, over and over.

Indeed. I referred to it at the time as the 50-model strategy.
The first Nokia phone-mini-computer was the original Communicator, with a 640x200 resolution and a full keyboard, launched in 1996(!) Of course at that time it was targeted purely for business users, but by 2007 they already had a well-established high-end consumer smartphone selection (the N series – rather more advanced than the first iPhones). They just weren’t able to pivot to the touchscreen form factor, largely due to betting on Symbian – I can see how writing an entirely new OS userland from scratch wasn’t a terribly attractive idea.

In the end they did that too, of course, and the N9 was an astonishingly good phone, with a slick zero-button interface and silky smooth scrolling and multitouch gestures. And a terminal and reasonably-privileged root access if you were so inclined. I used a normal ssh/screen/irssi combo to IRC. It’s such a fucking shame that Maemo/Meego was killed.
Has anyone played any games besides Zelda / Mario Kart that actually felt complete and worth the money. I love love love the switch but getting really demoralized by the lack of titles I can play with friends; especially online.
Yeah, this is classic disruption. The amazing part is, I can almost guarantee that execs at Kodak read The Innovator's Dilemma, but it didn't help. Same goes for Nokia. Knowledge of the problem is apparently insufficient.
They did release a top-loading NES as well, although it came out after the SNES.

> All engineers and other professionals told him that landing rockets is bullshit

Every company has some kind of mythology where someone says "you'll never make it in this town!". The reality is that uncrewed propulsive landing was technologically feasible since the soviets landed a rover on the moon. NASA propulsively landed a rover on Mars back in 2011.

Like I said, listening to billionaires is probably interesting if your goal is "acquire boatloads of money". But we already know how to do that.
1. Appear confident
2. Lie
3. Have no morals or ethics

I think this is it. Once a console can run an LLM you will see open world games with immersion that we’ve never seen before

Procedurally generated worlds are one thing but imagine exploring an endless world where you can talk to every NPC and never have the same conversation twice
I think they've done something smart here by partnering with NVIDIA and given the success of the switch 1 they've probably built a good relationship.

So, although you're right, NVIDIA might be giving them a good performance/efficiency bespoke chip.
Possibly while being a rat.
Let me just say what I'm seeing here... Folks can correct me, or add their own observations

* Screen is bigger

* Seems like it has a new texture

* USB-C port (on the bottom?)

* Another USB-C port (on the top?)

* Headphone jack

* Pull-out stand, supports multiple positions

* Bigger controllers

* New coloring on the controllers

* The built-in top buttons on the hold-it-sideways configuration appear to be nicer

* The controllers have a custom port to connect, and a little magnet-looking thing next to it

* The controllers seem like they can slide on tables like a mouse

* The controllers snap into the screen, rather than sliding down to lock

* Dock looks similar to the old one

* Controllers can slide into a pro grip, like before

* Physical Switch games slide in like they used to

Anything else?
This is demented levels of cope. Musk is the most successful is basically everything he does across extremely different industries. SpaceX is a decade ahead of the next closest competitor. Tesla and self driving is wildly ahead of any other car manufacturer.
I don't remember motion controls being a majority of Wii games either.

A lot of them were played with a Nunchuk to emulate a classic controller (or attached to the actual Classic Controller or Rock Band instruments to play cross platform games).

The motion control that comes to mind beyond Wii Sports were circling the Wiimote to collect things in Mario.
I am in my late 40s and my two boys are 11 and 15. They make great use of the internet, especially youtube. One is a big fan of all the STEM channels on youtube and he is getting an education through those that, when I was at his age, I could only dream about: Matt Parker, 3B1B, Mark Rober, Steve Mould, and so on. He watches hours of those videos every week. The younger is in the VR/Gorilla Tag phase and has created his own youtube channel - https://www.youtube.com/@MagicianTheMonkey-p1f
He taught himself how to install Mods, how to script and create contents in capcut, how to advertise his channel.

The internet can be an amazing opportunity for kids. We should be careful about policing it too much. My recommendation is: keep a close eye on how their behaviour changes (the output) but do not worry too much on what inputs they choose and receive. They have to build their own filters after all.

> NixOS has system-wide tests that run on PRs, and go green if they pass. E.g. upgrade OpenSSH will trigger a suite of VMs to start, each running OpenSSH in different configurations, and checking they work as expected. These run automatically, are visible to contributors/reviewers, and take O(minutes) to complete. They run on automated backport PRs too.

That concept is not new to stable distro's either. Though the OpenSSH package doesn't do that level of testing in Debian, their tests are here: https://salsa.debian.org/ssh-team/openssh/-/tree/master/debi...

> Bravo. But I don't think it's controversial to suggest that, on average, the closer a person is to upstream version, the more likely they will be to have the motivation and success in making a contribution that works you and upstream.

This mindset makes no sense to me. A bug is a bug is a bug.
Where you touch it when not in use doesn't matter. You're not going to use it that way, because nothing uses the touchscreen for gameplay.

[edit] originally I said it didn't have a touchscreen, but I've been reminded that the original does actually have one and it's just never used by anything because ever requiring it in a game would be really dumb when the entire premise of the switch is that it's dockable.
> it's not that I have all this information that I really want to go through, but it's that I have too much information and it's become all noise.

I tend to agree, except these two things are kind of the same thing. It can make going through the noise easier by intelligently filtering out the noise or finding you the signal. Search. It doesn't necessarily need to eliminate the noise.

Maybe AI would be better if it prevented the noise, and its definitely going to add noise (expanding a few basic thoughts into an email with lots of fluff), but it can also solve it.
Senior and staff. I don’t think it’s an issue with level. They’re just really picky right now cause it’s an employers market for the last three years.

There's a trend of people replying to posts/tweets/etc. with 'I asked ChatGPT and it said...'

It's the modern equivalent of LMGTFY. The OP could just as easily written the same prompt themselves. The difference is that LMGTFY was an expression of irritation, smugness and hazing. The ChatGPT reply is just garrulous laziness. I expect and hope we'll develop social rules that mean this type of reply will be seen as passe.

The sub-issue structure seems much better than Jira's approach where everything has to fit into a hierarchy. Then it becomes hard to align on the definition of a certain level in the hierarchy.

This is very nice. Is there any possibility of having an "hours" unit of time in addition to the days, weeks, months options? Lacking that, allow the unit of time to be a float, a fractional value?

I've worked in very large scale project management, to the tune of 3-8 companies working together on a single project, each with 1,200 to 2,500 people working on the project from each company, and all the tasks are managed by fractional hours per person, and then summed into working groups to accomplish the hundreds of thousands of individuals tasks over a 12 to 36 month schedule. Think animated media production.

I'd love to integrate something like simplegantt into this work. Currently it's fed managers' scheduling excel files, with no easy way to visualize the entire schedule across all participants without an external moderately lengthy process to compile all that info.
