Great video. Seeing what it looks like inside with the phosphor and the mask was so enlightening. I also recently watched the one by Technology Connections, which was quite good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4UgZBs7ZGo

There is a deep misunderstanding here of US politics and foreign policy. The US might act in various ways to protect American manufacturers, or oil industry, or other industries that are responsible for a lot of jobs in the US or are a stra

We regularly use fines to punish businesses, usually in combination with conditions for regulatory or legal compliance. I don't recall people calling it a bribe in these cases. This happens in the EU a lot.

Man, I would've loved to see a video of something that wild. If it happened today, it would be all over social media.

Because the justice and political systems, particularly in regards to copyright, are deeply corrupt.

Or anything in manufacturing or food/beverage (see Nestle and water rights) production. I think most of tech has it pretty good. Tech has the potential for incredible amounts of bad, but this is limited to the handful that dominate soc

I agree that the "framing" can be misleading, but in this case, it's burying how bad it is for Tesla actually. > New Tesla registrations fell 17 percent in April, marking three consecutive months in the red. Tesla’s share

When the Cybertruck launched was already too late for them to have launched a "budget" Tesla, and a budget Tesla is what they really needed to cement their lead in the EV industry. Now there are a bunch of decent competitors in Te

It's not just demos though. It's that the final 10% of any project, which largely consists of polishing, implementing feedback, ironing out bugs or edge cases, and finalization and getting to a point where it's "done&quo

This is pretty much it. I'll use my fingers if I don't want to keep a number in working memory.

Apparently the lead programmer released much of the source code a few years ago here https://github.com/RandalLinden/DOOM-FX But it was uncompilable because of copyrighted assets/code. This seems to be the full so

Is that possible? I'm not sure if I've ever read code like that before, but maybe that's just me.

So is this a good book? Are there any other software architecture books that are recommended reading?

I know a lot of the words here, but most of it sounds like gibberish. I wish I had the expertise and domain knowledge to be able to do something like this. It was a fantastic read and I'm awed by the author's dedication and level

I'm not sure what you mean. I'm not aware of any significant drop in new orders for Airbus. Do you have a source?

Is this your first time encountering an authoritarian regime? This would not be unexpected, surprising or out of the ordinary.

Seems like you haven't seen the latest news. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2024/06/11/boeing-sa... New orders are significantly down. Old orders will rarely be cancelled even if possible s

Easier to discriminate against anybody who buys an Android, I guess. That's totally the better solution.

I've since moved on to primarily working with Java, so it's been a few years since working with Django on a daily basis and the default still jumped out to me immediately. Experience and domain knowledge is so important, especiall

I disagree. It's just the nature of how conversation works and it gives us interesting discussions and insights. I think it's more annoying that you want to try to control the direction discussions can take.

... so, like a significant number of articles on HN where all the comments only discuss the title or something tangentially related to it instead of the actual article? Not sure why it's any different here than on other posts.

Yes, definitely. But I feel doing research is more associated either with the fringe that is anti-science or academics who are actually doing science and publishing papers. I'm under no illusion that I'm doing anything akin to wha

I generally use sci-hub to get any paper I want to read. It's not quite legal, but I feel locking the world's knowledge behind paywalls is so immoral that I honestly do it with some measure of satisfaction.

Cheating is something they face in CS and will face in Deadlock as well. I don't get why nobody there is interested enough (and competent enough) to work on cross-game anti-cheat.

I'm sort of disappointed that this isn't actually about research as leisure activity. I love to learn about topics in-depth, which will entail going through all kinds of literature and scientific papers to see what We've coll

I'm so tired of soldered components. The performance and power benefits are simply not good enough to justify producing millions of landfill-destined devices and high costs for consumers.

Nobody cares that it isn't being made anymore. People are upset that their already purchased devices are being turned into paperweights because they won't maintain the online infrastructure they required to use it. It's waste

I have no idea what you're talking about. Everybody in Germany used ICQ. MSN and ICQ were concurrently popular in different regions. Everybody I knew from the US or other English-speaking parts of the world used MSN. There was no mass

This is brilliant. And it also illuminates how it can turn into something deeply maladaptive and self-destructive when we cling too hard to something that's passed or will eventually pass, when we define ourselves too much by that whic
