Multiple people have suggested modding games. This is what led me to computer engineering as a career- specifically Quake III mods. Having games that are easily extended and hacked makes for an incredible exploratory environment, especially

I know this is meant for EMT, but these look a lot like chainlink fence end-rail clamps which go for about $2.50 a piece. The post material (galvanized 1-3/4” pipe) goes for about $2.50 per foot, so those could be a reasonable alternat

Maybe the misalignment is one of misunderstanding - we don’t make it explicit that sharing something like this isn’t to celebrate it. I don’t catch any major celebrations of abusive tactics on HN, but then again I tend to be late to the com

Agree and I’ll take it a step further: shouldn’t we encourage deep understanding of malicious or unethical systems so we can know how they work and possibly thwart them?

That Bret keeps Dynamicland and Realtalk so closed to others while touting it as “more open than open source” is really frustrating. I get it. Opening it up means losing control. I really appreciate the desire to specifically not share it o

So far I’m loving this. Would love a language tour doc!

Just my experience but as a musician who used Bandmix for a while, I found that most profiles I was interested had audio. It felt like it was expected and profiles without links to audio weren’t complete.

I’m loving the feedback everyone is posting here. While there are some cynics, you all have posted a treasure trove of useful insights for this creator. And for people like me who are constantly trying to improve user experience for the pro

I wonder if by using a large nozzle, you could print out the entire sensor by laying out lengths of TPU with flexible joints at each air gap. It would depend on how well light traveled through the printed part though.

You got a lot of great responses to your observations around 4chan, partly debating whether it should be to blame for the growth of the alt-right. I think it boils down to one simple thing: 4chan was unfettered. Anyone could go there and do

Apart from the math being off there, who do you know who has the time and resources to try and start 100 startups? Most people barely have the time and resources for 1.

Learn how to manage bets. Some people have the resources to fail many times and keep going. Others do not. Knowing that a huge portion of starting a business is luck, you can better weigh your options and hopefully select different opportun

But I don’t see the bottleneck. What are they optimizing that’s worth all this effort? As others have noted, RNGs are not a notable bottleneck in AI.

Great article and given the context of the code this is a brilliant solution, but note that this assumes that the data is well-formed. Much of the value in an effective, battled-worn parser is efficient error checking and recovery.

Minor nit regarding this thing that will destroy quality: “We'll fix it if customers complain." You can’t fix everything, and perfect is the enemy of good. While punting testing to users is a no-no, recognizing that edge case issu

There haven’t been any as successful, but there have been competitors. OpenCL, DirectX come to mind.

In hindsight, yes, but just because a specific technology is leading an industry doesn’t mean it’s going to be the best option. It has to play out long enough for the market to indicate a preference. In this case, for better or worse, it lo

It depends greatly on the genre, but I do have some experience in querying. How does one DM these days on HN?

I really like that assessment. Frankly I hadn’t thought that far so thanks for the extrapolation!

I think there’s a bit of survivorship bias in the tech industry. Many of us got into tech because we were able to explore computers with few limitations. But I’m not convinced it was mostly due to the tech of the 90s being more open. We are

I used to be an infinite canvas fanatic, even building products that leveraged the concept, but ultimately I’ve abandoned it. There are too many issues with having an infinite canvas that make it untenable. This isn’t to say they should nev

Unless I’m misreading the wiki, the deadline of the collapse didn’t change to 20 years further out. The data seem to continue to match the original prediction.

Nothing right at all? From the wiki entry: > In 2015, a calibration of the updated World3-03 model using historical data from 1995 to 2012 to better understand the dynamics of today's economic and resource system was undertaken. The

Ossification of systems is mostly due to zero order thinking - a paucity of examination into the purpose of established systems. If someone with the agency to change a system gets to 2nd order thinking in their decision making, that is a bl

There exist ID systems that prevent you from protecting your privacy, but that doesn’t mean it’s a core feature.
