Does Andy know what Jeff thinks is going to happen?

What is making it complex for authors to sell directly?

Edit: hah, only 15 minutes late with my attempt at Socratic spiel: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48810056

Thanks everyone, my C++ knowledge has been greatly expanded today.

The first one too? Isn't that the map-reduce fork-join golden example of multiprocessing?

The first form is easier to send to 32 beefy cores or 1024 small CPUs or a Beowulf cluster or a GPU or people sitting in a room.

For me the smaller footprint, lower power consumption and portability (admittedly between desks only) are the three advantages of using a laptop over a desktop for these purposes.

Polarizing filter? One-way mirror?

Shadow volumes were the big feature in that one, but this is a rendering, non-gameplay advancement: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_volume

You could generate sweet stereoscopic images with two differently colored foils placed in an eyeglasses frame: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaglyph_3D

Banking also appeared on the platform in the form of EMS.

This didn't even occur to me. The title in the submission is cut short; most outlets including this article includes a "close to zero", "near zero" at the end, which has this overly cheery feeling (at least to me) that we can pat ourselves on the back, it's not just done but done-done, on to the next disease, huzzah. Whereas this whole thing is the result of a systematic nation-wide vaccination program that has been going on for quite a while (2008) and a study looked into its effectiveness and found that yes, this concerted campaign may have moved the needle on that population-level gauge.

It can happen elsewhere but it hasn't happened yet! Or who knows!

My issue with it is a missing "in mice"-style qualifier, but this time it is of the geographical nature. The study is focusing on England: https://www.qmul.ac.uk/news/latest-news/2026/medicine-and-de...

What about the Su-27 and Eurofighter games (from a bit later)?

The mission scenario descriptions were circulating both as a text file and in the hint section of a computer magazine we had, but I didn't get either for a long time. "Zulu alert" mode lets you take as many enemies off the sky as you can, with infinite ammo.

Edit: I now remember that the first training mission is something like "shoot two target practice boards in sector E5". You have to be very meticulous to find those just by flying around!

On its own it's a good fun fact. But just look for it in this comments section, when it becomes a reflex to mention it in relation to slop/generated content it slowly loses its color. (That's what she said)

Sounds like a pink elephant exercise. Low-background steel has now creeped back into our collective consciousness.

Nobody asks _how_ are all the Bluesky instances :(

Cursor 3 as well.

Internet Search Thing now tells me sable (for soft brushes) and hog hair (for wire-like brushes) is the best hair for this purpose. Oxen occasionally show up. Yaks nowhere to be found.

Coincidentally, this is also the first time I'm hearing about sable.

Weeellll those tutorials span a ~30 year time range now :) AMPP stacks and Python's built-in HTTP server was available most of the time if you needed to get away from the file:// protocol.

The protection mechanism was introduced so that malicious saved pages can't just grab things from your Downloads folder and send stuff it to an attacker's server. But the method turned out to be a bit more refined than I have imagined: you can display an image but can't grab the pixels, run a script but not inspect its source code, fetch() will be unavailable, etc.

I tried this on a small example and it works indeed. In my head this would have been something like a restrictive CSP script-source directive, even if not exposed in response headers or anything.

I keep thinking about this and now your comment reminded me of it: did OpenAI have a "gym" 10(+?) years ago where autonomous cars were trying to navigate Los Santos in GTA5? If not, whose work was it and why did it come to an end?

Somewhere around 2019, each document loaded from file:// became its own origin in Firefox: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1500453 (I didn't check when this happened in Chromium)

This is an absolute tangent (a perpendicular one if you will), but I thought the Sagrada Familia is completed: https://www.forbes.com/sites/ceciliarodriguez/2026/06/10/bar...

The article talks about construction on the exterior, the cross on the main tower, the Pope's visit and commemoration of the architect, etc. while on the official website the timeline says "Today, more than 140 years after the laying of the cornerstone, construction continues on the Basilica": https://sagradafamilia.org/en/history-of-the-temple

So which one is it? Is this one of those cases where we have to define "done" first?

Prog8 maybe then? https://prog8.readthedocs.io/en/latest/introduction.html#cod...

Here's the Show HN post for it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48304260

The power button on the Macintosh IIsi could be turned with a flat-head screwdriver to achieve the same thing you describe (locking it in the permanently-powered state): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macintosh_IIsi#/media/File:Mac...

How about _Space_ Flexseal?

It's also Latin and Greek for beaver which is more likely the origin of the name.

I did forget about these! The installer will add separate launchers for each style of environment.
