I think it's hilarious that in this one HN thread we have a complete word swap of terms. You said Hare when it should be Hair and they did the opposite.

It's supposed to be hair-raising because it's alarming and surprising etc. Nothing to do with taking care of hares :)

Would it be possible to buy a second camera and wire up its ADCs to the sensors on the first camera and then read the next set of vertical pixels? Effectively doubling the vertical resolution?

I wouldn't say it's completely artificial. Steam offers APIs for things like cloud saving, workshop, achievements, cards, etc. and any games that want to make use of those things pays dev costs to integrate it EXCLUSIVELY for the Steam version. I'm sure the Epic Games Store offers something similar and more dev costs would be associated there to integrate. And so on.

Unless of course you're talking about laying out an image alongside text.

Percent can be based on container depending on how the container size is set.

I love doing this when doodling. I can start with nothing, but often it is more interesting to start with a scribble!

There are dozens of us!

That was amazing. Never knew this kind of resource existed, thanks!

Slightly different if you play renegade :)

The endings didn't take into account any of the choices you'd made up until that point. The endings were also a bit brief before the ending patch. I think those were people's biggest complaints, I could be misremembering.

Highly recommend the trilogy! Great story, amazing characters, pretty great gameplay (especially after #1), and overall an immersive journey. I wasn't bothered at all by the ending, personally.

It's always crazy to read about the absolutely massively unthinkable. It's real-world Lovecraftian unimaginability without the horror part, at least not intended horror :)

I wholly disagree. The system as it works today is miles better than a circular buffer. People trying to leave new voicemails are informed that there is no more room and thus they know that if it is important they should try calling back later.

If it just deleted old entries then it's possible someone left an important message and assume you'll hear it but then it just gets silently deleted.

Imagine if PC storage devices worked this way, it'd be chaos.

So if I wanted to play basketball professionally in the US then the NBA should be obligated to hire me because no other basketball platform has the reach they do?

Based on being able to do well on a test. Very different kind of merit than I think is actually useful in a lot of real life.

Peanuts are a gross underestimation. More like a quark or a Planck length.

That wikipedia page never had any domain fronting lists according to its edit history. It does and seemingly has always had a link to the Domain Fronting page in the "See also" section. Looking over the Domain Fronting page I also don't see any proof in the edit history that any list has been removed.

Maybe you were confusing these two for a different page that still exists?

Recent? It's far from recent. There have just been some very public debacles lately that have been attributed to it but it's been an ongoing issue for a lot of people for a long long time.

Maybe you've been in a situation that hasn't been like that of others but you are not an entire industry of people. Confirmation bias and small sample size are things to watch out for.

All they said was that it was weird. Even with the explanation I'd still agree that it's weird.

I believe it because Windows comes on all kinds of devices and supports all kinds of hardware mixes and SKUs. It effectively encompasses the entire price range in a way that Apple doesn't care to.

Reasonable? Maybe. But the web is not restricting anyone to one file format. Why not just add some fallbacks to be even more compatible?

I know it wasn't your intention and this is a serious topic, but I did chuckle at the thought of this.

That sounds trivial to implement in an extension at least. If there isn't one already I could probably take a crack at it.

I think the order and placement of the words is also important.

The format "(noun) shelter" is similar to and might more readily bring to mind "animal shelter" and "homeless shelter" than a phrase in the "(verb) shelter" and "shelter _____" formats.

The mind is very pattern-happy after all :)

I found the slides and info at [1] but does anyone have a recording of this presentation?

Late to the party but wanted to point out that in other industries like application development you are probably more likely to accept slower code if it means more readable and maintainable code whereas in games you often (opinion) need to really crank out the performance at any cost.

It's an alternative if your favorite part about D&D is fighting (if so I'd recommend 4th instead of 5th). The role playing you do in Gloomhaven is non-existent in comparison.

Help fellow TI-83 programmer! That's what I would do back in my high school days. Also learned it to make silly little games like rock-paper-scissors, guess the random number (difficulty was larger number ranges, you'd get 'higher' or 'lower' as feedback after each guess, if you got it right it would list out how many tries it took), and of course a simple 8-ball.

I was also completely unhappy that schools tested learning and perfection at the same time. If I solve a physics problem using the correct formula but make some silly error along the way and get a wrong answer that really sucks since there's not usually enough time to check work. So... I wrote programs to solve any and all equations we'd learned so I could really quickly check my work for correctness. We had to write out all the steps to solve the problem anyway so it never felt like cheating to me, just proper validation :)

Technically it's free, if you wait long enough. If you wanted to be free of their influence then enough money to relocate into space or another planet without volcanoes. If you wanted to get rid of volcanoes on Earth then your best chances would likely be to try and slow the rotation of the Earth by sapping angular momentum, expensive and slow but it should work I think!
