   Are these files already just diffs from baseline/standard full DNA scans, or are they including all the data? Seems like most scans will only differ a little…

   I recently switched from being a manager back to the IC ("individual contributor") role. It's not an uncommon switch here where I work (Square). It wasn't an easy decision, and it took many months, but I became much happ

   The obvious solution is for Microsoft to hire him and support the Rust version as a first-class typescript compiler, no?

   As a (typical?) HNer, there are many reasons. (a) TailScale was founded and is populated by people I followed online before, during, and after my and their tenures at Google, or just followed online already if they're not Xooglers (b)

   Yes. So clearly it's not a question of being able to run, or of weird graphics quirks or something. It's a strange omission. Given that Mojang is now owned by Microsoft, it's slightly suspicious…

   IIUC, aside from non-deterministic timing of simultaneous updates, the things that are different about redstone in bedrock are mostly things that _could_ be considered bugs. eg. block spitting (extending a sticky piston for only one tick le

    There is Minetest, which has at least one configuration that attempts to mimic vanilla Minecraft, but I'm not certain how accurate it is. The stored data structures are well understood for both versions. See for example https:/&#

    There is https://github.com/minecraft-linux/mcpelauncher-manifest , which can run the Android JARs on MacOS or Linux (by shimming/implementing the Android APIs it uses), but a few months back one of the updates dra

    I recently got into Minecraft due to kid reaching Minecraft age. I keep meaning to write an intro for technical parents, because it's very confusing at first. The original was written in Java, and people decompiled and reverse engineer

    I am a huge fan of Pikchr. I ported it to Go, and integrated it with Hugo, for my blog. I need to get back to fixing it though — a big reorganization commit in either Hugo or Goldmark made it stop working You can see the results at https:&

    Tailscale, Minecraft Bedrock Server x2, soon probably Mastodon, a 4-machine Raspberry Pi k3s cluster (for experimentation, currently unplugged ) Tailscale is the key for all of it

    If you like this, be sure to check out bundlewrap. It's a little more complex, but I think things like templates are actually useful.

    vitess / planetscale might be a viable alternative set of open-source tooling for things like dynamic resharding.

    Here’s my port to Go: https://github.com/gopikchr/golemon It’s a little ways behind the canonical implementation, because I haven’t touched it for a while, but lemon changes very slowly if at all

    You might also want to check out hermit: https://cashapp.github.io/hermit/ Definitely not as many definitions as asdf, but what it does, it does well.

    I'm pretty sure that deriving position from acceleration data from an inertial sensor is not that cleanly done from first principles: it tends to drift a bunch. There's no reason the trained model can't emulate the dynamics a

    Interesting. Thanks for the reply. I'm trying to understand what it would be like to adopt Markdoc as our internal documentation system. I didn't like the "spooky action at a distance" of defining diagrams far away from

    One curiosity: I was trying to figure out how the diagram at the top of https://markdoc.io/docs/render was generated. The items inside the diagram seem curiously absent from the source of the page: https://r

    I don't know about you, but when I imagine what compilers do with generic code, I typically imagine monomorphization, which (aside from increasing cache pressure a little), should generally not make things slower, but rather introduce

    That sounds entirely reasonable. It might also be a good idea to have users call it with something like: Shotscraper.v1.annotate( // etc

    This is the first time in my 46 years that I've had any success voluntarily controlling ear muscles. Amazing! Every few minutes I'm able to wiggle my glasses very slightly, and then lost it completely after a few wiggles!
