on the one hand, a browser engine monoculture is going to be a disaster for the standards-based internet (if it's not already a disaster).

on the other hand, apple crippling webapps with a half-assed browser so that they can sell apps and rent-seek also sucks.

i'm glad safari exists, but for the wrong reasons. it's such a tragedy that there are not more for-profit browser companies.

i'm curious: what is the incentive for dreamworks to open-source this? surely having exclusive access to a parallel renderer of this quality is a competitive advantage to other studios?

i love the tournament idea!

i downloaded my winner, installed it, changed my editor... and immediately went back to Monaco :) there's a lot of cognitive momentum to overcome in switching fonts.

It's not ci, it's part of your (local) build.

Honestly, I'd be all for using ddg exclusively. but I find myself doing !g (their google redirect operator) when I don't find what I want on DDG, and it's almost always the top result on Google. And this happens daily.

Well, realistically, if the AAA highlighter operator was later compelled to testify as to your driving plan, they would.

didn't expect to be this moved today, on HN.

this reminded me of The Egg, and decided to reread it.

Older generation complains about newer generation's work ethic and goals, news at 11.

Seriously, this has been done since forever, and it's such a tired trope.

And why the hell shouldn't they want to be influencers? They're responding to the world they've been handed. Why is that different than "I want to be an NBA player", or rock and roll singer before that, or baseball player before that?

Gen Z will be just fine, even if Gen X doesn't understand how.

Why are they in a panic over ChatGpt? Don't they have similar research and tech around these AI systems?

Yes. Criminally underrated, I come back to it often.

i've heard this before, is it backed by data? where is the data? anecdotally:

or maybe I'm confusing "posting" with "spending on advertising"?

yes, was using `less -r`

but `glow -p file.md` is working great! thanks

on mac, pointing to one file doesn't page the output. I can't get the output paged using `less`, it loses all the formatting and color. starting the TUI (no args) and then choosing the file works fine, however.

less --version

less 608 (PCRE2 regular expressions)

you're not alone. i think the pandemic has made people more solitary, to the point of being anxious and/or annoyed around other humans.

a noisy theater was just something that happened in normal life before, it happened, and then we had a little story to gripe to our friends about. but now it seems an intolerable ordeal. the same goes for restaurants vs. take out, visiting friend's/family's house vs. just staying home, etc.

i'm noticing the trend more and more. i'm not sure where it will end up. it doesn't seem as if theaters will ever hold their old place in the cultural zeitgeist again, and maybe the same goes for all other "third places" where other humans will be a bother. that seems kind of sad.

it will keep the behavioral scientists busy for a few decades though.

watching a virtual persona stream their development of their M1 GPU drivers is one of the most cyberpunk things I've ever seen! it's easy to forget that this world is looking closer and closer to those dreamed up by Gibson, Stephenson, etc. what a time to be alive.

I gave mosh a shot on a whim, and it's just magic. The only time I have to re-run it is when the client is powered down. Otherwise, I've had a rock solid remote terminal for months, surviving VPN and network finickyness.

> is a sense of extreme disappointment exhibited by some individuals when visiting Paris, who feel that the city was not what they had expected

> The syndrome is characterized by a number of psychiatric symptoms such as acute delusional states, hallucinations, feelings of persecution ... derealization, depersonalization, anxiety, and also psychosomatic manifestations such as dizziness, tachycardia, sweating, and others, such as vomiting

uhhh, what?? just from being disappointed in a place you're visiting? I had to double check the link to make sure it wasn't some satirical site.

wow, your last paragraph filled a little empty gap in my brain, thank you!

I have many friends that use marijuana in the evening, which helps them relax and sleep. Edibles are very effective these days.

good god, what in the hell does dropbox need a VR client for?

this entire VR push reminds me of the days when IE and Netscape were competing with "push" browsers, which were equally pointless.

i agree, Elm gets you from "here's the language" to "ok, now here's a site" much faster, in both the docs and the language architecture.

purescript does have some options to model the elm architecture, though, for example: https://github.com/collegevine/purescript-elmish

i'm always surprised that PureScript doesn't get as much attention as Elm, despite being frequently-updated by a large set of contributors (https://github.com/purescript/purescript), awesome docs (https://book.purescript.org/, https://github.com/JordanMartinez/purescript-jordans-referen...), and a pretty large package catalog (https://pursuit.purescript.org/).

Yes the new ones are generally garbage, compared to the originals. Race to the bottom, et al.

Also Transformers especially are just monobody plastic garbage now.

Exactly. It's fine that the PSF and others are tackling performance seriously. But in addition to your point, in the 90% (made up on the spot) of the problems python is perfectly suited for, performance is simply not a consideration.

What?? Why would he exclude himself from tournament winnings, assuming he can still place strongly with 1 resignation?

That's there now:

https://bazel.build/build/bzlmod

All those counterexamples are open platforms which get tinkered with to no end. Meanwhile, it's the apple platforms that get more and more restrictions per year.

Do they really have any power though? At this point they're there because they've always been there, but why is that bad on its own?

It does give the people a sense of history and dignity about their longevity.

I strongly doubt any of the technical matters are in his purview. That's what CTOs are for. Not trying to shade, I'm sure he's an intelligent person, but his current role is all products, and no bearing on the technical choices behind them.

this is great! how are channel similarities discovered?

feedback:

* the galaxy map is next to useless. this is the data model, which is neat, but does nothing for usability * searching can be improved. i search for AvE but got all results with ".ave." so that could be improved * allow me to search by youtube channel URL directly, or video URL (where the service dereferences for the channel)
