Skimming through the new features, I'm looking forward to the new "Game" tab in the editor (https://godotengine.org/article/dev-snapshot-godot-4-4-beta-...). Being able to easily select and move around the camera/etc. inside of the running game is the main convenience feature I missed from Unity. (IIRC it was still technically possible by tabbing back into the editor and editing "remote" inspector properties, but far more awkward.)
> German manufacturing has also been down 15% compared to 2018 so this is mostly a reflection of reduced economic output. Between the nuclear shutdowns and the disruption of Russian energy sources, German manufacturing has been in a crisis the past few years.

I like this point and it is something interesting about several statistics presented to the market. I always look for the social-economic context because usually these metrics reflect either the social moment or the economic trends.

I'd say it's the shift from the Apple trying bold things to grab the attention and not go under (with Jobs as the CEO) to the current Apple just trying to keep the status quo and positive reviews.
No, I was. But grandpa did not approve at all. Newfangled machines making pure noises, that’s not real music, the whole thing.
Sincerely, thank you for trying it and sharing "better editing" for everybody! I actually gave it a try and downloaded sublime but got "stuck" after the following:

select $, cmd-d, "enter" (to get them all on newlines), then "$" to replace the lost "$", shift arrows/end to capture "everything", arrow/space over and "cmd-v" for paste, and then I got stuck. (can't "easily" line up the raggedly-pasted items with the multiple cursors and all the cursors seem to "float" weirdly after the paste)

...surely someone more experienced with sublime would know how to "get out of the mess", but I'm more experienced with vim.

I'm wholly not expecting to change your opinion on preferred editor, just sharing a little of the details the make the difference!

I like to ship, and that requires a lot of interaction with Apple servers.

Provisioning is a pain, and, speaking only for myself, I'm fairly happy that Apple has made that easier (by doing a lot of the handshake behind the scenes).

But, yeah, if you don't want to ship, then you probably only want interactions for things like documentation and dependency versioning.
Well, different people are fascinated by different things. :) I hope both products are successful, they've been (so far) a force for good in the industry as far as I can tell.
Sticking to the truth and reporting what other people say is not a "self-report".

But go ahead, this kind of distortion and power games is exactly what got Trump elected in the first place. I'm not even entirely happy about him winning, but as you demonstrate, the alternative might have been worse.

A tariff is a regressive tax. What that means is the poorer you are, the greater percentage of your income is going to tax. Combine that with the fact that the poorer you are, the more likely you are to spend the entirety of your income on goods and services and not invest. Putting these things together what can we conclude? Less money is going to goods and services. That's a recession. You don't have to have a Ph.D. in economics to see a pretty severe recession coming our way - entirely of our own making via poor policy.
Yep — if consumers see AI as added value they’ll pay more. But practically nobody will base their willingness to pay on guesses about Amazon’s COGS. The new AI feature could be pure excess capacity and cost Amazon nothing, or it could cost Amazon $1000/user/month, and nobody will know or care.
The pianist playing in a restaurant was optimized by the player piano (which would only play if you put a nickel in) back in the late 1800s. Muzak put the final nail in that coffin in 1954.

The player piano technology comes from the barrel organ, which seems to have been on the first pipe organs.

And I'm not entirely sure what part of the house they're calling cardboard. It's typically concrete foundation, wood framing, and drywall (i.e. gypsum i.e. stone) walls.

Drywall doesn't deserve the hate, it's fantastic. Flame resistant, cheap to repair and replace, easy to cut and penetrate to install drops run wires. Wiring my whole house with ethernet was a single day affair because of it.
There's a reason the phrase "money pit" is used to describe owning a house.

In the 1800s, you had fewer closets, because people didn't have enough clothes to need more than a chest.

In the 19... well, at least the 1950s, maybe even the 1970s, kids didn't each need their own bedroom, and bedrooms were smaller. (I mean, if you've got neurodivergent kids, it's really helpful for them to have their own space.) It didn't have that much of a yard; you didn't need a power mower for it. Our standards have changed.

In the 1970s, you probably drove a car that didn't have air conditioning, unless you lived in Arizona or something. Your house may not have had it, either.

It's not just lattes. It's housing and cars. The houses people lived in in the 1970s are now in the "less desirable" parts of town. The cars people drove... well, they may have been top-of-the-line cars in those days, but the equal functionality now is a very low-end car.

You can maybe survive as a family the way a family did in the 1950s - one breadwinner working a factory job, one car, small house, no cell phone plan, no cable TV, books from the library. But it's not the 1950s anymore and nobody wants to live that way.

> You can't compel custom work, any more than a Neo Nazi can compel a Jewish baker to bake a custom swastika cake.

That is your opinion,but that was not the opinion of the Supreme Court. They found that the Colorado statute in question was based on religious hostility and therefore discriminatory against the cake shop. (That is, the "personal liberty" of the cake shop was more important than the civil rights of the customer.) Agree or disagree, I encourage you to read the full opinion.

Moreover, there is no law against "compelled custom work." Had the cake shop discriminated based on the customer's race, rather then their sexual orientation, the refusal would have been illegal.

Was looking to buy an apartment which had had a single owner for decades, likely since it was built in the 70s.

At the viewing I noticed how it looked quite distinctly worn.

Like, the ceiling above the stove was full of grease from frying and the interior of the oven had clear signs of only being used for frozen pizzas. Looked like he'd only ever made like pork chops or frozen pizzas.

The floor in the main bedroom was very well preserved, except for a noticeable worn path leading to the bed and a small oval next to the bed. Similar things in the living room.

I mentioned this to the agent, which replied: *Oh yeah, the guy bought the place so he could stay here when he needed a break from his wife. Apparently he'd come here every few weeks or so and stay for a couple of days."
Was going to post this too. It was a popular technique for getting ‘more colors’ out of lower bit depth panels.

Weirdly hard to find out with a web search if his was done on the iMac G4 (your comment is already one of the top results for me on Google and DDG!).

If you haven't heard of Moss Landing before it's one of the most underrated spots in all of California: it has California's largest population of sea otters living in in https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elkhorn_Slough and you can rent kayaks and head out to visit them. We use https://kayakconnection.com/

(The rules are that you can't paddle within 60 feet of an otter, and if one comes closer than that you need to stay still until they leave. The otters will quite happily pop up from nowhere right next to your boat.)

I'm deeply worried about the impact of the fires on the wildlife there.

My favorite restaurant in Moss Landing is currently closed: https://www.hauteenchilada.com/

"It is with profound sadness that we announce the immediate closure of The Haute Enchilada Café & Gallery. The fire incidents and thermal runaway caused by an explosion at the nearby Moss Landing battery storage facility on January 16 and February 18 of this year have introduced safety and environmental concerns that are insurmountable for us as the fires continue to burn."

Because your search history can be stored, and that stored history can get synced if you use the Sync feature. That's kinda the point behind the Sync feature.
The YouTube channel Technology Connections recently made a video [1] about this and used the term "Algorithmic Complacency" to encompass how many people would rather be fed content determined by their algo of choice than seek it out.

But for those who do want a return to the "Web", I think there are plenty of existing tools for this. RSS feeds allow you to follow independent blogs and websites. BlueSky and Mastadon can be used to curate a list of like minded people who will suggest other cool people or content to check out. YouTube has a Subscriptions tab that is not influenced by the algorithm.

That being said, I applaud anyone who wants to make the independent web more accessible and popular. We need alternatives to the infinite scroll fed to us by massive tech companies.

Find it disappointing that even on HN people seems to blindly parrot manufactured outrage.

Yes. The robot used in this study is Dexterous Hand from Shadow Robot. It's a real product, and costs around $200-300k (for a single hand).

Controlling a real robot using a RL policy (model) trained in a simulation environment is also doable. It's called "Sim2Real" and has been widely experimented in the last decade (with mixed success, though).
they can afford to be. we used to get 1600+ apps in a week -- and that was 2013!

now with AI and a global marketplace -- and remote work being a thing -- the pool is deeper and cheaper.

I work with a couple type-dense libraries: Elysia and Kysely. Kysely holds up remarkably well. Elysia... Well...

Elysia is a backend framework like express. As you construct your routes — annotating the input structure and return types, it constructs a HUGE MEGA TYPE, that you can then use with a thin query client:

https://elysiajs.com/eden/overview

If I recall, the query client uses proxies. I did something similar before, this one is a much smaller codebase:

https://github.com/boehs/ajar

But as you can imagine, typescript does begin to lag when your routes enter the hundreds
- freedom of thought
- freedom of expression
- freedom of assembly and association

Then political views should be protected in the same manner?

Further, would this mean that even mentioning:
Problems with child abuse in the Catholic church are forbidden.
Problems with LGBT rights in some Islamic groups.

Since both can be seen as spreading hatred of people based on religion.

What about spreading hatred about fat people?
Why is that not included?

This response is only intended to point out problems with
such censorship as this bill defines.

Spreading or receiving hateful harassment is wrong regardless
of the why it should all be banned.
Or hateful harassment should be protected under freedom of speech.

To make a law that allows hateful harassment sometimes and
makes it illegal in others is inherently not sustainable
Since it will almost certainly have to keep expanding as
other vulnerable groups are identified and thus deserve
equal protection.
It's more than those three states, but I get your point. We need electoral college reform, and we need to uncap the house of representatives like the founders intended. Until then it's going to keep coming down to those purple states with razor thin margins, and safe red/blue states will just be used to run up the popular vote count.
no darcs?

and this is why i really loathe language package managers, because they're prone to this kind of thing. assuming one has no problems with the opinions made in a language itself, when it has a tightly bound package manager embedded into it's ecosystem (using rust without cargo is like pulling teeth) you have an entire extra hurdle of far more rigid and controversial opinions to deal with.

package managers are maybe next to shells with "it's several orders of magnitude harder to make a good one than it is to write a compiler." with the dozens, possibly hundreds of package managers i've touched over the years, there's only been one that i'd call "good". the absolute worst ones have always been language package managers. at this point i've basically written off the concept, even system package managers.
What I truly appreciate is the completion system from a dev perspective. Writing completions is comfortable. Even wrapping completions into other completions is fairly clean (e.g. sudo {cmd}TAB).

C’mon now, you and I know both know your program is discontinuous. A few null or unknown inputs that you didn’t even consider will break it. You’ll have to keep going in there and adding more if/else statements. Your program couldn’t survive a 100 years without you debugging it.

I don't think the claim that there is atleast one highest total tax collected point in between 0 and 100% tax is that wild? It aint that much more to it? (I agree with the rest of the point about missusing it)

You could argue that the model is too simple ofcourse. Or that 100% tax on certain things don't give 0 revenue and that 100% tax is not the roof. E.g. some people are paying to work at farms.

Some more suggestions:

1. replace "while" with "go on" (yes, with space, because why not)

{ i < 10 } go on [ ... ]

2. add break statement in the form of "oh, come on!"

{ i < 10 } go on [
,1 += i
{ i > 5 } considered [
oh, come on!
]
]

3. replace "if" with "considered" and "if else" chain with "on <number> thought". Final "else" must be "eigentlich", because who said all keywords should be in English?

{a < b } considered [ ... ], {a > b} on 2nd thought [ ... ], eigentlich [ ...]

4. add reverse array function with special syntax, because it is special:

reverse{array}

5. add constants:

,$SCREAM!$ = SCREAM let it be

6. Add System.exit(<number>):

,{1}oh, no!

7. Add exceptions:

{$Invalid user$}oh, my god!

8. Do not support catching exceptions in try blocks. They are exceptions. Every function must implicitly return an union type <ReturnValue|Exception>. If exception value is not handled, it pops up.

,{1; 0}divide = value let
{exception is value} considered [ ,value print ] on 2nd thought [ ,1+= value ]
It’s not that we’re unscientific, it’s just that we’re putting science aside unless it corroborates things. It’s totally a terrible process, there’s no evidence.

Some people over time cannot put down the fact that there’s just way too many coincidences. If you just pile up what it took for you to be here (let’s include your one in a million chance of out swimming the other sperm along with a perfect planet, possibly perfect parents, list goes on), I think you’d at least agree it’s one miracle after another.

I can sit here and measure the anger on your face based on the metric of how red your face is but I’ll never know why you are angry. You can tell me, but even then, is it true? That’s the issue with science, that measuring and collecting observations won’t reveal the true nature. So it must be put aside, at least to investigate the other possibility.

I don’t see how people aren’t open minded about there being more than a clinical understanding of this experience.

Republicans are really good at misinformation, they've convinced their entire base that all democrats are AOC and Bernie Sanders types and billionaire elites and there's a massive conspiracy to LGBT everything and open borders and remove Israel's right to self defense.

Democrats are really bad at appealing to their base. During the election, they attempted to flank Trump from the right on several conservative talking points like immigration and the Israel-Palestine conflict, while promising their base mostly "fundamentally nothing will change" vibes.

We're hoping this leads to the collapse of the democrat party into a new party (both parties currently represent billionaire elites), but I suppose the Democrat party can remain irrational longer than you can remain unrepresented.

Maybe. Depends what the fallback for the business that was using it is when that program doesn't run.

> Humans need to fix bugs, but that is nothing new. A memory bug with such features would be hardly more significant than any other bug

Perhaps. But it seems to me that the changes that you'd need to make to fix such a bug are much the same changes that you'd need to make to port the code to Rust or what have you, since ultimately in either case you have to prove that the memory access is correct. Indeed I'd argue that an approach that lets you find these bugs at compile time rather than run time has a distinct advantage.
