I'm not a CSGO player, but I assume you also have to be able to play e.g. footstep sounds for someone coming up around the corner, so you at least need to send the info that someone is nearby.

But you have never seen that so it hasn't occurred to you that it is possible. I don't believe it is possible, no. Even in places with frequent trains during the day, they typically stop at night. Say I need to take someone to

Your characterization of racism as a "belief" is alarming. What word would you use for something someone believes is true, even if it isn't? I'm having a really hard time imagining what's wrong with the word &quo

This is cool. Nothing ruins a game like someone cheating. What are the security implications of running an anti-cheat system on Linux? Do I need to give it root access?

The choice isn't cars or no cars, that's a completely false dichotomy. Apologies for reading too much into your comment, then. Many in SF seemed to espouse just such a dichotomy. People in the US are so car-addled that when I

Our management team received scathing emails from clients and potential clients that said "fire this person or never work in this industry again" (mind you some of these came from billionaires and CxO's of Private Equity fun

What matters is what happens at work. I don't care how bizarre my coworkers' beliefs are, as long as work and non-work are compartmentalized. If you segregate people based on belief, then you amplify division and intolerance.

There are, nonexclusively, three major things required for a democracy to function in a heterogenous society: - A secular, pluralistic public forum, - A professional respect for the opposition, and - The ability to disagree in one area with

You can live on that just fine in many rural areas, where a lot of welding jobs might be found.

80-90 years of mobility or 85-95 years trapped in one place is not a hard choice to make, especially when 60+ of those years are still in the future. Yes, the pollution from cars is terrible. I lived by a major freeway for three years. No

I've been using Ruby for sound lately. It's a good exercise in optimization because Ruby's not that fast for numeric computation (without calling out to a C lib like Numo), so your algorithms have to be reasonable. I'm

Nice, this looks like a good way to practice basic looping and operators. Has anyone just hard-coded the target board and copied the values instead of calculating?

You can write a JIT that generates C code and calls the system's C compiler: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=ruby+"MJIT"

A significant proportion of the Earth's land surface is currently dedicated to either growing animals or growing animal feed. If those stats include wild areas double-used as grazing land, then "dedicated" is too strong of

how would it exfiltrate the data without OS-level access to the IP stack Do iPhones use modems embedded in the SoC? Modem firmware can communicate with the cell network without the OS.

Could you have something running with an invisible window, e.g. keylogger? Less scrupulous friends from way back used to talk about writing such things.

the basic need they're trying to address is not one that reflects a deeper meaning or bears a great deal of weighty analysis as to its merits This depends on who's doing the analysis. For example, self-immolation is often seen

Aggregation, scale, visibility, and mobility change the risks. Quantity has a quality of its own.

The topic has come up once or twice on HN before, so maybe try searching for "new cities" or something like that. - All existing land is already claimed by someone, or by the government. There are insanely large parcels owned by

Desirability isn't a fundamental property of nature. It's the aggregated choices of individuals. And individuals, and aggregations, can make different choices if given reason and opportunity.

If you can upzone housing, you can downzone offices. Why isn't anyone building brand new cities shaped the way they want, instead of trying to force people out of where they live? I'd much rather live in a blank slate city design

The ones that get caught, at least. I worry that availability bias makes it hard to know what "true" crime looks like, so we end up chasing the wrong things.

"We should allow companies the freedom to continue to abuse their employees, because some companies instead use that freedom to reward good employees" is not a particularly compelling argument, at least to me. That really depend

The main reason is that people are petty, lawsuits are a very risky roll of the dice, and bad PR can cost a lot more than a bad employee. The other reason is that pay transparency is often anchored to specific credentials and characteristic

There's not really a $()-like syntax for written English though. There sort of is, if you use "smart" quotes. “Hard to find on a phone keyboard though, and not that distinct.”
