Right wing news is popular in America, I don’t think this could be the main reason why they had such steep declines.
I started trying to make games as soon as I got an Apple //c when I was like 9 years old. I went to MSFT out of college but quit to work on games like a year into it. My first games job was at Monolith (RIP as of yesterday) and was there for ~4 years, then I helped S2 Games ship "Savage: Battle for Newerth, but then went into FAANG for like 20 years. I always wanted to come back to gamedev. Glad I got the chance :)
Can you really make these claims when streamers for months were showing people looting? What about chop? What about that federal courthouse in Portland?

My city had 100s of stores ransacked with groups of cars with 100s of people all working together. Say what you want about opportunists - riots happened.
What liability implications are there? With section 230 there really isn't any. And even without that it's basically impossible to libel a public figure so I doubt there would be much change in terms of politics.
It was a call to arms.
That reliable stop feature was getting in the way of a “very smart person’s” promotion quest
Destruction to the built environment is an offense against society. 25 people were killed in the riots and there was $2 billion in property damage. My neighborhood in Baltimore never recovered after the Freddie Gray riots. Our fro-yo place had the windows smashed in and closed. The coffee shop on my wife’s office block never reopened. The harm to the public lasts long after the rioting is over.

You didn’t see worse at the capitol, because that was a riot at a government building and private sector people were not at risk.
Battletris was x11 on sparc I believe.

Even when it's used by mediocre developers, which is probably more than 90% of us, myself very much included? All I've been seeing is Rust being used by very enthusiastic and/or talented developers, who will be productive in any language.

Not the person you’re replying to, but there used to be regulations limiting ownership of radio & TV stations in the US. When these regulations were lifted in the 1990s, it resulted in one company (Clear Channel) going on just such a buying spree.
Last time I used Canada Post, they charged $10 as a service fee. Pretty reasonable, especially compared to the $35-100 that UPS/FedEx/DHL will charge you for the same thing.

In a perfect world, we would just outlaw brokerage fees, and just have CBSA do the clearance since all of the information is already input in a computer system. We should at least outlaw forced brokerage. I never agreed to have UPS act as my agent, so I get pretty upset when they charge me a fee no one agreed to.
There are a lot of interpretations, but it's roguelike in the sense that:

1) It's permadeath

The term is used quite broadly these days. Only the "Berlin interpretation" is quite strict about the sense of it you might be thinking of.
It's doable if you really want to: https://docs.nestjs.com/openapi/cli-plugin#overview

> I find it way easier, to go from more primitive, consistent, "inlined" code to more sophisticated abstractions that clearly solve emergent problems at a later point in time, than changing the direction of already factored, high level code.

Depends. If you reach the codebase at the point where it's already accumulated subtle differences between codepaths that should be the same, that's far harder than inlining and rearranging something that's been factored badly, IME.

> A caveat here is that many of these inconsistency factors come from adopting third party dependencies.

I find the exact opposite. Developing too much internally creates a lot of inconsistency. If you hit an incompatible change in a third party dependency, odds are a lot of other people have hit the same thing and can tell you what to do.

EU [0], not US. There's a reason JD Vance was harping about "free speech" and "personal freedom" during MSC.

Hot take, but if we as Ds sacrifice Bruxelles to bring back Obama era tech donors who are overly impacted by the Digital Services Act, I'm fine with it.

Show HN: Fixing 100 years of analog lens compatibility with data driven solution
Hi HN,

Bruno here. I’m not a developer, but I’ve spent 15+ years in the photography industry as a camera/lens reviewer, photojournalist, and consultant for major brands.

One of the most frequent (and frustrating) questions photographers ask is:

“Will this lens work on this camera?”

You’d think this would be a solved problem in the AI era... but it’s not. There has never been a structured, global dataset for cross-system lens compatibility.

---

### Why?

The data exists, but it’s fragmented—buried in *paper archives, PDF manuals, and old forums from the Dot-Com era*.
Compatibility isn’t just about mount fit: there are flange distance constraints, electronic protocols, AF & aperture limitations, and third-party adapters.
*Manufacturers (Canon, Nikon, Sony, etc.) have attempted to document their own systems—but often with errors, omissions, and without ever considering intercompatibility between brands.
No one has ever attempted to unify this knowledge in an open, structured way.

---

### So after Christmas, I decided to teach myself coding and build what nobody else had:

CLIC – Camera & Lens Interoperability Checker

Covers 71 manufacturers, 106 mounts, 1347 cameras, and 4039 lenses (for now).
Detects native compatibility + third-party adapter solutions.
Calculates theoretical matchups (~2.1M possible combinations).
Database grows daily—based on historical archives and community contributions.

---

### Challenges:
Structuring compatibility logic in a scalable way (mechanical fit, adapters, electronic limitations).
Extracting reliable data from disparate sources (manufacturers' PDFs, old forum posts, literal books).
Managing edge cases (e.g., Nikon F mount has ~10 sub-versions* with different behaviors).

---

### Try it here → https://www.fotocaz.com/

Still a work in progress, but I’d love feedback from HN on:

Eliminating false positives to ensure the tool provides photographically accurate results, not just technically correct ones. (There’s what the code says, and what mechanical + optical constraints allow.)
Better ways to structure the dataset (currently using JSON and Vanilla JS… but it won’t scale easily).
Efficient search/filtering for 2M+ potential matchups (and this problem can only grow as I add more lenses, cameras, mounts and adapters, because in 100 years, manufacturers had plenty of time to go wild).
How to handle cases where official compatibility info is missing or uncertain?

I’m here to learn from you and improve this tool.
Thoughts?
As the youths say, "fuck around and find out". I wish them the best of luck, but I'm not betting it'll work.
Clearly it is able to solve various logical problems, and therefore an at least imitate logical thought. Is that not reasoning?

And there are plenty of logical problems that many humans can’t solve. Does that mean they’re not capable of reasoning?

At what point would you say something has reasoning? I’d argue that it’s more about how good something is at reasoning, rather than saying it is or isn’t capable of reasoning in absolute terms.
Yes, I too have used a couple of different silicon bags as alternates. The stashers are barely usable, and the cheaper but more sous vide friendly are ok but are hard to clean if you're trying to reuse them. But is it about the heat transfer and stable temp, so anything that keeps what your cooking completely in liquid and can tolerate thermal expansion should work, right?
The trailer is hell good!! I love it!!
Yeah, it's clearly the formation of the Tea Party that was the trigger for severe change. But the mechanism through which the Tea Party ideology was disseminated was.. Fox News and conservative radio, which could not have existed in the same state before the Reagan era.
I was implying that yes, while it is doable, it comes at 5x cognitive cost because of micromanagement it requires. This is somewhat doctored example but the "decision fatigue" that comes with writing Rust is very real. You write C# code, like in the example above, quickly without having to ponder on how you should approach it and move on to other parts of the application while in Rust there's a good chance you will be forced to deal with it in a much stricter way. It's less so of an issue in regular code but the moment you touch async - something that .NET's task and state machine abstractions solve on your behalf you will be forced to deal with by hand. This is, obviously, a tradeoff. There is no way for .NET to use async to implement bare metal cooperative multi-tasking, while it is very real and highly impressive ability of Rust. But you don't always need that, and C# offers an ability to compete with Rust and C++ in performance in critical paths when you need to sit down and optimize it unmatched by other languages of "similar" class (e.g. Java, Go). At the end of the day, both languages have domains they are strong at. C# suffers from design decisions that it cannot walk back and subpar developer culture (and poor program architecture preferences), Rust suffers from being abrasive in some scenarios and overly ceremonious in others. But other than that both provide excellent sets of tradeoffs. In 2025, we're spoiled with choice when it comes to performant memory-safe programming languages.
Would just be easier to implement an open source one from scratch given that most IOT modems are just (poorly written) software with an SDR anyway. CEVAwaves or RivieraWaves certainly is.

If it can be done for BLE, 802.15.4 and WiFi, it can be done for cellular; ORAN is enough for base-stations so it's not totally secret. But at the end of the day, aside from the stupid ITU protocols, LTE/5g isn't rocket science. It's bog standard OFDMA radio -- nothing fancy these days.

I ended up reverse engineering parts of Sony's Altair derived modems but got bored, maybe I should publish that
If he meant it to be identical to "civil liberties", why didn't he just say that? Using a less common term seems like it would have to be intentional, so he must have meant _something_ by it.

I think you are conflating a "business yes man" with a "newspaper angle yes man". It is fine for a major newspaper to endorse certain values, and distance themselves from others! It's fine because it's a big country with a lot of newspapers!

It came from:

"Amit Verma, a professor of electrical engineering at Texas A&M University Kingsville who is not affiliated with the project, says there may be technical advantages to hosting data on the moon as well. Some parts of the moon are permanently shadowed and therefore extremely cold, as low as -173 °C. This means that no energy or water would need to be expended to cool the data center. And the electrical components will perform more efficiently."

I'm guessing Verma only thought about the electrical aspects, and simply didn't think about the different atmospheric conditions (i.e. not having one) as that's outside of the conditions an electrical engineer typically deals with. I can see how someone can make such a "oops, didn't think of that" mistake when a journalist asks for a comment.
Looked up some papers, and seemingly super low compared to what I would have initially guessed - probably because it’s porous/fluffy/sharp dust with lots of small voids/less compacted I’m guessing. Like, orders of magnitude less than the ground on earth. Not my area of expertise though and was just cursorily skimming papers for values. Specific heat cap and density seem like what you would expect for any rocky materials.
If a bunch of news outlets all share a certain viewpoint that doesn't actually help them get viewers, maybe it's just because that viewpoint reflects reality and not because of some grand conspiracy. Assuming reality is consistent, you should expect news sources to agree on most of the facts on most things, and not because of a bias towards anything other than what a "fact" is
"there is noticeable color banding on the screen"

The LCD panel in the G4 iMac is only 6 bits per pixel, compared to 10 bits per pixel on a modern Macbook Pro or similar, so the banding is just the dithering required to display the gradient shadow
I don't thinks statements like this are meant to be read literally in American English.

IE US English speakers always fond of telling me how they work X hours in a day, or they went N days without sleep. Which used to really impress me, until I realised "wait... do they just exaggerate as matter of course"? And then I realised - of course they do; these are people for whom every purchase is an "upgrade"; where a bicycle for commuting in a city is an "urban assault vehicle", rich creamery butter, rich creamery type systems, etc etc.

So no, I sincerely doubt they actually worked 18 hour days for a year straight. I'm sure they worked hard, but it's just the way Americans talk.
The manga scanlation world is pretty big, but that's not been my experience and understanding at all.

1. For truly popular mangas, no serious group is going to wait for a chapter to be released in China or Taiwan[0]. Someone that lives in Japan will go out and buy it. Or wait a few days for the it to posted online for sale by the publisher (though sometimes most recent chapter will be free for a few days). It's all illegal so why would it matter if the raws were obtained in China/Taiwan vs. Japan/online anyways?

3-5. For many of the popular series, more "groups" than you would expect are really just one person. And perhaps irregularly a cleaner and/or a typesetter (eg KireiCake[1]). Some more "professional"/commercial groups have much larger teams, and even paid translators, but they tend to do porn (especially erotic BL), because that's where the money is at. I've never heard of pre-teens being part of these groups, but I guess no one would really advertise that they are a pre-teen. Shitty translations (or shitty MTLs) discouraging others is a real problem, especially for more niche series.

[0] Unless the Chinese language release is at the same time of the Japanese one? At least for moderately popular manga, I know the English release is usually months (or more commonly, years) behind.

Ownership limits are only effective in a pre cable / internet world. Now one media company located anywhere can be seen by customers everywhere. So what do you do? You can't have the government tell people what to watch. If you try to restrict a company to broadcast on only one channel e.g. radio / social media / streaming it's a clear violation of freedom of the press.
Totally expected -- that is the best way to show businesses the value (and then start charging for it) -- there is NO way that they can scale a free tier without running ads.

I'm gonna ignore the first part because I've found on the internet people don't agree on what "free markets" mean.

For the second part you don't need a business to be free. As a simple counterexample: I wouldn't say that human ancestors hunting and gathering in the savannah weren't free (they had literally no governmental limits) and it would take an absurd stretch to say they owned a business.

The article may indeed be a "poignant meditation" (I liked it personally). but when AI shoehorns the last sentence of every summary into this exact same sort of vaguely-positive cliche, it becomes worthless as an uncorrupted signal of real information.
