It might be unrealistic to exhibit games on CRTs if they aren't going to be played on CRTs - if you've got a lot of headroom with the 30fps target, is it worth trying a subtle CRT emulation shader? Especially with people frequentl

off-topic but: I've noticed you prefix years with a zero in your HN comments. First I thought it was just a typo, but I see you've made several comments like that. Is there some significance, or are you just raising awareness of t

I'd be quite interested in a more formal post with a detailed analysis of the effectiveness of the different agent impls, including Claude Code and Jetbrains Junie. Do you use ChatGPT Code Interpreter because it's better, or is it

Just a reader of this thread, but that wasn't my take on it. The text you quoted was, I think, an overgeneralisation (there are certainly manufacturers who perform above the baseline standards), but I don't think it was worded adv

I'm guessing they use plan9 because distros already ship support for it, and it's super simple compared to NFS? It doesn't seem like CIFS/NFS would be any faster, and they introduce a lot more complexity.

While I can see the subtle distinction you're trying to draw people's attention to (NTFS is not the problem, filesystem operations generally on Windows are the problem) I have to say it seems like a distinction without a differenc

That's funny, I had the exact same thought in the US - so many road signs, so much to read. It was quite overwhelming. I think it may come down to familiarity: as you get familiar with the signage of a particular country they blend int

Why not just put the conversation / prompt at the end of the commit/PR message? That way you have everything in one consistent database and don't run the risk of losing it. Additionally, you get more directly usable text out

I don't see why the police can't just get a warrant - "the victim is showing me a tracking pin showing their device" seems like reasonable cause for a narrow search warrant to be issued on a property for that device. Thi

I wonder what the communications infrastructure for a place like this looks - I'd imagine trenched fibre that spiders out vast distances to ensure satellite comms can't be easily disrupted

Another way to detect hidden cameras is optical augmentation, using reflections to locate lenses; this can detect cameras that aren't currently on / actively transmitting. Some paper and product references: - (PDF) http:/&#x

The sibling comment says "fire them". That sounds glib, but it's the correct solution here. From what you've described, you have a coworker who is not open to learning and considering alternative solutions. They are not

I'll preface this by saying that my love of cinema is more about the visual than the characterisation, so it may be that we're coming at this from two different angles... I do love both the book and Kubrick versions of The Shining

Yes, that seems worthwhile to do - I was just replying to the notion that the direct emissions of the rocket during launch is the limit of emissions. SpaceX is also highly integrated, so I do think the construction and ground operations cos

The total emissions a launch is responsible for is not limited to the weight of the fully fuelled rocket. You've also got to include the emissions needed to extract/purify/cool/pump all that fuel/oxidiser (and any o

I feel like this happens a lot with seminal works: the concepts get remixed (or simply regurgitated) by others down the decades to the point where the original often doesn't feel original to a modern viewer/reader.
