I like how he specifically called that "mediocre success"...

But as many others have pointed out, his comparison between code and prose is completely absurd and shows a complete lack of understanding of what he's writing about. He's not actually writing about code, he's writing about b

That's the thing, though.... If this were an arbitrarily sized demo, I (and probably most people) would agree with you about the GPU stuff. But it's not arbitrarily sized, it's all in 4K. And it's from 2009.

To be fair, it's kind of the same thing as just using someone's name: "So I was chatting with my colleague Chris, and he mentioned..."

This is pure speculation/assumption, but I'm guessing it's because the government can't compel someone to lie, or something like that. I have no citations for this, though... It's just what I always assumed when I h

My problem with with trying to learn programming back in the mid-90's (my first attempt at programming) was that I couldn't find any books that I could really get into and truly learn from. I knew I should be able to figure it out

Does it really have a built-in help and a tutorial now? I played last just a few months ago and did not notice this at all.

I don't really see how this means things are worse now than they used to be. You can still write things from scratch now (just as you did). But "back in the day" you had much more limited options for libraries, so you were no

I'm wondering if anyone's written a warrant canary best practices? I was hoping the EFF post would have or link to such when it started mentioning that "almost every canary is unique" and that makes it harder to track th

I like that it doesn't have any dependencies. Makes it easier to read and understand the source, casually (one of my favorite pastimes during lunch breaks lately).

Can someone link to context? Without it, I don't see why this is even posted here.

Good question. I've read a bunch of articles about it (haven't delved into the research papers), and none of what I've read ever mentions that. That said, I suspect it's based on the location and composition of the cave

Not sure why your comment's light grey, but dang is... a/the moderator or the guy who runs HN or? I know it's something like that, and I just tried to look it up so I could tell you definitively, but I can't seem to find

Sounds interesting. I'd love to hear more about it sometime. Maybe even see some screenshots. You should do a Show HN post!

If this is indeed true, then it kind of trumps most of the comments around here.

That definitely had a lot of buzz, but still less than Hamilton.

I'm not sure that any anti-resale laws would have reduced the scalping or the scalped prices noticeably, considering just what a hot ticket show this is. I've been in NYC for over 10 years and I've never seen such buzz about

It's such an obvious solution that there must be a good reason they're not doing it already. I refuse to accept that they simply have not considered that. My guess is it's something in the "that's just not the way i

We stopped shipping things to FBA. Sadly we still had to sell on Amazon since it's the best way to sell books online, even with their shenanigans. But without FBA benefits there's no way to compete with Amazons deep discounts on n

As I understand it, the sloppiness of "old media" sources is due (at least in part) to the need to compete with "new media" sources. When people started turning to blogs and twitter and such sources because they were qui

Amazon would do (and probably still does) this in another way, too. When I was selling on Amazon for a bookstore, our strategy was try to find books that Amazon didn't have on the site, then sell them, and if any sold well we'd se

If you're suggesting giving low ratings as a reaction to what Amazon's done and not because it's actually a bad product, I really wish you'd reconsider. Seems like a rather slippery slope, to start basing product reviews

I always thought the store brands of things like that weren't independently developed, but just batches of the product it's cloning that didn't pass that company's standards or something like that.

I'm not going to argue that there aren't crap apps on Apple's app store, since there definitely are, but if it were easier to let apps onto the appstore, wouldn't there be even more crap apps? I doubt a loosening of rest

I don't know why anyone would expect it to be another way. I don't mind Apple's walled garden, but still, it's a walled garden and this restriction fits pretty well with the shrewd concept of that garden. Related: Amazon

What's notable about this announcement is that it claims to be 360 degree _3D_ video. The article talks about this. That means it's like a 180 degree 3D video in every direction. That said, I'm a bit skeptical about how well
