It will be a sad day when high bitrate rips can't be made any longer. Are we doomed at looking at "optimized" 6 Mbps content advertised as "4k"? Maybe Hollywood is over.

Rabid people here hate Musk after he said he wasn't left-wing, this is not going anywhere. ( https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1687520435825745920 )

HN/YCombinator does not honor this correctly from a EU law perspective. They don't allow you to delete your content. What they do offer is renaming your account. I'm salivating for this monster lawsuit once they they have eno

It's supremely annoying when bookstores put all of their sci-fi and fantasy inventory in one alphabetically sorted "sci-fi/fantasy" section. (And then 80% of it is fantasy...)

Why would AWS charge less for IPv6 traffic through their stupid gateway than for IPv4 traffic? It's just an artificial money making machine anyway.

For ECS users who depend on public IPs to avoid insane NAT GW fees when doing CI/CD.. I guess we have two options: a) build something that automatically scales broken services to 0 b) use that AWS service that let's you pull ECR i

The original https://www.iso.org/ is still here, btw. "Why ISO[-9660 format] images relases were retired from EasyOS" would have have been a more suitable headline. I kind of miss the times when hackers were stick

I mean, we used to use the word "cracker" for this up until the late 90s. A hacker was someone who created something cool.

We are discussing how the original animation was (or might have been) created in 1993/1994. Not what tools were used by Netscape users when creating replacements of it 3-5 years later.

I'm imagining some hacked up workflow that includes: - Something like Autodesk 3D Studio R3/R4 (DOS) or Lightwave 3D (Amiga) for the base animation and the light rendering - that would be hellish to do manually. - Some custom-buil

So assuming an efficient implementation and including high availability requirements: probably in the order of tens of machines, maybe hundreds but not thousands. Edit: eastdakota's tweet says 13% of the requests are https- or tls-encr

Seems like this is a rewrite of https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/07/22/oxfordshire-roma... (which, to be fair was linked to towards the end, although not as prominently as it should have been) with

With a 15x smaller (human) US population in 1850 compared to today that makes sense.

Of course, but who's doing the actual admin work? Who chases the sponsors for cash, who books the events, who collects the member fees, who creates that crappy member web site? I'm just curious :)

This is the paper for those that are accused of designing those ugly buildings in the first place. Of course they are going to say that average people have it wrong, "it's a modern social networking phenomena" etc. Obviously

It think it makes sense for countries to pay some kind of "retainer fee" to several companies for keeping up the ability to massively and quickly scale up production and distribution of e.g. mRNA-based vaccines for when it's

Those companies tend to be owned by the Chinese Communist Party. Or not, it doesn't really matter in China. The party calls the shots anyway.
