Yeah, but it's California, so I'm not sure concrete is great for the earthquakes.

I see a lot of love for the Bic Cristal, Personally, I love the Muji Gel Ink 0.38, I'm an infrequent writer, so take it with a huge grain of salt, but I find it a really pleasant pen, and cheap enough that I can have them wherever I need them.

A filter perhaps isn't synthesis, but the whole system, including oscillators would be, which seems to be what the term refers to.

I'm not sure I believe strongly either way, but after a few drinks I often convince myself it has to be happening due to the prior proof that it's possible, and the fact that if I were at the right place in one of theses companies, I'd do it just to prove that I can, and do it in a way such that the least amount of people internally would know about it.

But that may just be the conspiracy theorist in me.

For sure! I mean, my Google pixel has "Now Playing" which is able to passively listen to the microphone for songs it knows, and displays them on the oled lock screen.

So, we already know that it is

A. completely feasible for a smartphone to do this.

B. At least a subset of smartphones have always-on microphones.

Maybe not a remote control... But why would you put it in a remote anyways when everyone has a phone?

Makes sense! Sounds like an easy fix.

But just from a practical consumer perspective. I want to know more about what the tube and power cable connect to. Since this is designed to be a new novel "compact" espresso machine, I would have higher standards in that regard compared to more conventional machines.

One problem I see with your rewrite, is it's written in a style such that it appears to be a responsibility of a party of the contract, but failes to specify which party. Where the original reads as a statement of state and fact.

I mean, the problem is the website is designed as if it's trying to hide something from me. Giving the benefit of the doubt, I don't think that's the case, but my, and I think many other's tuned "Something scammy on the internet is going on" alarm bells are going off. So I think that's why the criticism is so harsh.

And generally Show HN's posts are taken as a request for constructive criticism, which I think most are.

Specifically, those two tubes that fade into the darkness is just begging for an explanation.

> Pixar's stuff famously takes days per frame.

Do you have a citation for this? My guess would be much closer to a couple of hours per frame.

Most VFX productions take over 2 CPU hours a frame for final video, and have for a very long time. It takes shorter then a month since this gets parallelized on large render farms.

Whe SDFs are being used in games, SDFs don't really change the Analytical AA story much. SDFs are generally evaluated with ray marching, which is a form of discret sampling that has the same issue regarding coverage.

I think dreams might be using splats? It's possible that something like splats combined with a form of OIT along with an art style that is tolerant to certain types of artifacts could use Analytical AA. I don't know the specifics on Dreams, but i'd be surprised if even they would be using AAA.

Basically no... Analytic AA is a really hard problem for video games, and I know of no general purpose solutions.

For font and 2D vector rendering it's likely, in fact afaik, some solutions, such as Slug already do.

But for 3d rendering I don't know of any solutions.

For an intuition, consider two triangles that intersect the same pixel.

Consider if say one has 20% coverage and the other 30%, does that pixel have 50% coverage, 30% by one, 20% by one and 10% by another, or any other conceivable mix? It's very difficult to say without selecting specific points and sampling directly.

Honest question, Is it not somewhat similar in effect to a parliamentary system? My understanding, is generally a parliament is divided into districts, then after parliament is elected, the government is formed and the prime minister is selected by a majority of the members of parliament?

Not saying it's great, but maybe it's not too dissimilar from some other systems?

Hmm, as I think about this, I'm unconvincing it's specifically a problem with merges specifically.

If you were bisecting a rebase workflow and hit a block of commits that were unbuildable and unbootable close to your breakage, I'm unsure how you would progress.

But the case is likely better in the merge workflow, since in all likelihood you could mark the entire tree as good, and it could stop searching all ancestors. Which is far more likely to be correct in a merge workflow.

I feel like it's most likely that bisecting the linux kernel was in-fact the shotshow.

Edit: upon further research, it appears that git bisect is a commonly used and useful tool in the kernel, and the correct response to landing in that branch would be `git bisect skip` which should be far more informative to the algorithm then a skip in a linear history https://nathanchance.dev/posts/working-with-git-bisect/

> I would fully support shutting down dozens of streets that cross-cross the city to through traffic and dedicate them to biking and pedestrians.

I dream of this version of SF...

Given the size of the city, and amount of pedestrians and general walkability, I'm always amazed at how hard it is to get a pedestrian street here and there.... Even the peninsula is starting to get them in a way we seem to not be able to.

I tend to agree. While I am normally super pro-merging. I agree that for maintaining a fork, the patch set style rebase workflow is preferable.

Did you ever try bisection without the linear history to compare? Or was this just conjecture?

I think no. It’s the same compulsion that leads to bike shedding in code review.

And honestly, there are far too many engineers that use rebase without understanding the underlying system which is dangerous in git. (Aside, I wish git would adopt hg’s stages)

Agreed… I think people like to think bisect doesn’t work with merges also.

I have the same problem..

I have been trying to preserve a game engine which has had an important following. But there has just been so many hands in the code, there is a lot of trepidation of the risk it could open the companies up too. Not sure how to progress from here.

It looks like the MD-HX is what you want for this use case?

I do a bunch of international travel, and the HD-LX seems ideal sized, but it seems like it doesn't do most of the useful functions?

There are some good spots in Japantown I like Kissako tea in the japan town mall...

Roblox and Fortnite UEFN are both platforms that have a lot of batteries included, and nice around building. Roblox is longer invested, but Fortnite has much better constructed financial incentives. But they are both code platforms, luau for Roblox and verse for Fortnite (maybe it has BP support)

UE is good, has BP, and it’s nice to be using pro tools from an empowerment perspective. I’d maybe pick a starter game to start from rather then from scratch…

Also, about Lua, It’s not so far off from JavaScript (pre classes) just tables instead of objects, and you have to construct prototypal inheritance from more low-level metatable methods. But after you get past the higher level quirks/syntax you should feel right at home.

There is something really powerful about using the same tools professional developers are using, as an 11 year old.

FWIW, I started modding UE1 games at about 12. Starting from something was nice, but it was otherwise accessible enough. And BP just makes it more so.

Because I don't see it mentioned elsewhere, I wanted to plug OpenTimelineIO, as a lot of the industry is building support around it as a format right now, and it would be great for any new video editor to support.

These cloudflare dns policies make it painful to use their services.

I have a client, I'd like to migrate some stuff to cloudflare from AWS. But I'm just not going to do it unless I can migrate very incrementally.

And I can't migrate to their registrar without their DNS, and I can't migrate to their CDN without their DNS on my root-domain. Ugh! I really want to be able to give Cloudflare a try, but this really just isn't feasible.

Not OP, but I'm aware that cloud flare requires you to use then as a dns host to use them as a cdn, or related features.. is it also the case that using them as a registrar, you must also use them as a dns host?

> it existed in the Steve Jobs era when they were trying to balance huge unwieldy OOP frameworks in their heads, but everyone just writes shitty React frontends now (modulo the few PhDs who are writing self-driving car software).

Comments about the existence of 10x engoneers aside..

It's a wild take that we live in a world where all OOP frameworks are gone and besides a few people working on self-driving cars we're all working in React...

I think I have a few colleagues to notify.

As an alternative, the opposite may also be true. I could never sleep when I had the slow ramp of pressure.

That sounds like a huge problem! Which masks have you tried? There are many different mask options that you may respond differently to
