Idk, current president and general staff seemed to be very against it as well. Foreign influence and realized threats of assasination seem to be a factor.

This is such a loss

He was a guy interested in computers working at IBM at a time when computers were just getting going.

It'd be a bit like working at Google and being really interested in the internet at a time when it wasn't essentially an alternative to consulting for upper-middle class college grads.

What would it cost, realistically to print and publish these in the US? Is it not mostly just laminated paper on cardboard with some resin pieces?

Being recommended low viewership channels is a positive.

Having everything be polished, scripted and ad friendly is tremendously boring. My complaint over the last few years with YouTube was that I missed the wackos. They were the thing that made the web interesting to begin with.

There’s a good reason for people to flag these posts.

It seems like most folks in the comment section didn’t even read TFA.

Per TFA, this impacts F-16s NOT F-35s

Per TFA, the US is not actively “turning off” any piece of equipment, they are no longer providing updates (something with which we are all familiar.

Per TFA, this means that the US is no longer providing active support in a country-vs-country battle of electronic warfare. Which is what the title and article says, and very different from what most of you actually READ.

Public spaces should NOT be unrated.

This is a disgusting worldview. The fact that an 8-year-old can NOT walk NYC unattended is a disgrace. This is what civilized countries actually look like: https://youtu.be/IkVvXVDs5aI That American children cannot reasonably do the same any longer is a FAILURE of the public trust.

Honestly, a source dump with a “have fun” message is pretty useful. Adding a bit of documentation and some technical notes on how and why things work the way the work is gold.

I haven’t spent _that_ much time reading the doom3 codebase, but when I go “I wonder how that should work,” it’s a decent place to look.

Having a base of useful code to read that’s better than anything you’ve written is always a good thing.

They made good points and I made a call. I still think I made the right one.

I wanted to do exactly this, and was told many many times to rethink it.

Thanks for posting this! I'll be digging into it. It seems like a good basis for learning how the tech works.

For those interested in more on continuous LOD, here's a SIGGRAPH talk where they go into some of the why and how of Unreal's Nanite (similar continuous LOD system) here: https://youtu.be/eviSykqSUUw

A lot of very smart, very technical people voted for the guy. And there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s a free country and people can vote their conscience and speak their piece.

The article above is needlessly, wildly inflammatory. Frankly, so is your comment. Not everyone agrees with you, and you’ve made no case beyond cliqueishness as to why they should.

> at the pleasure of the president

The point poster above is making is that the president should be able to fire them, and should be able to audit whether or not they have been doing their jobs correctly, which is essentially what is occurring.

Well-rounded is a heck of a term. If you want to learn fundamentals, in terms of how a computer actually works, learn c. There’s a lot of different programming paradigms. But if you actually want to understand what’s happening underneath it all, so that things don’t seem like magic, the best place to begin is at the bottom.

I love it. Send it!

Are you going to build an engine in Jank after you release the language? I think you could do some really interesting things with server-side multiplayer in a clojure-y way.

I think the desire for fame isn't an inherently bad thing.

> He was the man most gracious and fair-minded, > Kindest to his people and keenest to win fame.

Those are the last lines of Beowulf. A man who won great fame among his people by slaying monsters and dragons. It's telling that the final line of the poem ends with his most dominant trait, "and keenest to win fame." Wanting fame is not wrong, and is far from shallow. The question is, "fame for what?" Regardless of whether you think Beowulf existed or not, it's telling that for a whole culture that the most important characteristic of a great man in one of their great poemsis "keenness to win fame," almost as a wink, with the bard saying "and if you want to be sung like this hero, you must desire fame just as keenly, and so do great deeds."

I am looking to transition into this sort of work from a more "general development" sort of background. Any resources you could recommend?

Congrats! I played it for a bit and it looks great!

Aren’t the things all running Android anyway? How hard would it be to flash a ROM? I don’t have a TV to tinker with, but I saw some mentions of ADB on this thread.

Seems like the folks on XDA are doing something with this. Might be time for someone suitably inclined to do an FOSS TV distro

>And then there was the Amish community in Pennsylvania. Eva had to fly out there to negotiate for the “Cyberia.com” domain name they had bought. “It was a proper barn with horse carts and a wall of modems as they were running a bulletin board and an early ecommerce company. Apparently, there was always one family nominated to be the tech support,” she remembers.

That is one of the most profoundly interesting little tidbits of internet history I’ve ever seen

Why did the author start splitting his app into separate services?

I get using Ruby because you like Ruby. I like Clojure, and if I was building a new backend for ordinary web stuff, that’s probably what I’d gravitate to. But it sounds like Go was working til he got fancy with the architecture.

This is great! I think that there are a lot of latency sensitive applications which really do need to spare the kernel latency.

Rad. Combine this with wasm on the front end and you’ve got full stack C web development.

A proposal for interconnection and interoperability between modern, networked games. I thought you guys might find it interesting, and have some comments on the idea.

EDIT: I managed to mis-copy the link. Proposal is here: https://www.thrasymachus.org/blog/proposal

“Python code runs 15% faster and and 20% cheaper on azure than aws, thanks to our optimized azurePython runtime. Use it for azure functions and ml training”

Just a guess at the pitch.

Point of sale.

It’s worth noting that I think Microsoft lost a significant share of the personal use market, not just to Linux or Mac, but to the apple ecosystem and mobile/tablet computing as a whole.

“My kids keep dying, but I can just adopt more.”

Same sentiment, closer to the actual concept of a nation state.

Or maybe, “my kids can’t have grandkids, so I’ll just adopt myself some.” The reasonable question you have to ask isn’t “how do I adopt more grandkids?” It’s “Why can’t MY kids have their own kids?”

No, ChatGPT isn’t AI in that sense. It can fire back documentation at you, but a lot of what it does is just look at the word it’s spit out, and pick the next word or snippet that looks right. Same thing with code. It just spits out what it’s trained to interpolate the next snippet to be.

Anything involving genuine reasoning needs to be done by a human. It’s a great documentation parser. A step up in search engines. But a thinking machine it is not (yet).

So why don’t we just put fluoride in the excessively sugary stuff.

Coca Cola, more fluoride, same classic taste!

If they are actually just using eye dilation for funny faces, I would be shocked. It's one of those things that's pretty telling physically. Whichever congressman asked that question was NOT dumb.
