You should probably link to https://old.reddit.com/r/isrib instead, which doesn’t block mobile users that don’t use the official app.

But that does nothing to save the rich bastards funding it from dying. Death sucks, but I’m not sure indefinite life extension is a great idea for humanity at large.

This seems a really important point because it explains why this happens. It’s about power. Additional one could hypothesize that conspiracies are so effective here because they are (almost by definition) unfalsifiable. Similar to how churc

There’s little use arguing that point with parent, because he was summarizing Stephenson rather than postulating anything.

Sure, but the US probably doesn’t need to have (one of the?) highest prison populations per capita in the world.

This kind of pipelining is really about efficiency. Without it, either only the game logic is busy (utilizing just the CPU, most often) or the renderer is busy (utilizing both CPU and GPU). By starting next frames game logic sooner (concurr

The big difference is this doesn’t run it’s own instance of Chrome, but runs on the OS native browser.

Similar extensions exist for Firefox as well.

Very good point. I wish people would still use the word sympathy for expressing shared suffering, so that the word empathy could keep its original meaning.

I’ve mostly seen nuclear and GMO being promoted as a way to earn money by the promoter, their employer or their friends. Nuclear or GMO to improve the world is certainly an option but undoubtedly looks different than privatizing the profits

It does? If you missed it, watch it again. There’s a subtle but important story thread that develops over every single episode.

Interestingly, Tales from the Loop first saw the light as this amazingly produced Tabletop Roleplaying Game. It was then picked up and turned into the show. So if you like it, consider picking up the game and getting a few friends around th

In the case of Veloren it’s rather relevant since it’s a community project and this way they actively recruit new contributors among people (interested in) using rust for gamedev.

Also music (making or actieve listening). Outdoors activities that might not quite be exercise, but that offer sounds, smells, feelings such as the wind in your face. Exercise is extra nice because it tends to occupy the mind, keeping dark

I would recommend trying the pomodoro method: 25 minutes of work, 5 minute break away from screens, repeat. 30 minute break after a few cycles. I’ve discovered I’m much more in touch with my mental and emotional state and even a five minute

It's generally down to the terms for content that networks (BBC in this case) buy licenses to. The IP owners don't want the networks to allow the whole world access to that content for the price that the network is willing to pay

You do realize that some people suffer from a real psychological disorder called misophonia, right? I’m not saying everyone does, but it’s something to be aware of before you judge people.

I don't mean to be snarky, but WebGL 1.0 is 10 years old as of March. So yeah, if you need to support that there's a lot of extra work you need to do, for all kinds of things.

What did you end up using to choose the join? I’m also interested in adding anti-aliasing to my implementation. Maybe widening the line by a bit and fading opacity over that? But yeah, extra geometry, it seems.

Hi Rye, Thanks for the great post about instanced line rendering! I implemented it recently and it works beautifully. As I commented here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27260950 , there's a possible performance im

I wrote an implementation based on this a few weeks back. It works really nicely and I can render some 2M line segments at 60fps. One thing you should do is try to limit very short and small segments, as GPUs don’t like rendering 1px triang

Even with a fast home server Element is quite slow. Slow enough that even I, trying to get my circle to use it, feel some reluctance to open the app. Hopefully the upcoming Hydrogen client can solve this.

I assume there would still be a side show to keep us distracted from the important things. And if current politics is good at one thing, it’s keeping people distracted with unimportant outrage.

Which is OPs point. The energy has to be wasted, or else everyone will do it to reduce cost and the difficulty just goes up until the net mining reward is similar to what it is now. And that for something that’s almost exclusively used for

Or, you know, eat less meat. I’m not expecting anyone to go vegan or even vegetarian (I’m neither). But if we all eat a small portion of meat once or twice a week instead of large portions every day, demand for soy will go way down.
