It's basically a form of reference-counted data access as I understand it.

If the code here operates with a bit of data from some container, the container will ensure that this bit will persist until all references to it are gone even if the bit is removed from the container.

Depending on the datamodel this may be handy or even required. Consider some sort of hot-swappable code when both retired and new code versions running in parallel at some point. That sort of thing.

More likely from the government attempts to manipulate mid-term elections in the US, and the instability that will follow. And I hope I'm wrong.

Don't need to run studies to understand that.

If it's off be default it will stay off unless the user is somehow made to try it. Default opt-in is one option to do that, the simplest one, but it's not the only one. The rest require explaining clearly what the user will get out of enabling it ... and that often is difficult to do succinctly, or convincingly. So shovelling it down everyone's throat it is.

Amen.

Monotonous. More of the same. I mean, I can appreciate the creativity behind squeezing every drop from the concept, but I saw no fun in solving them.

To each their own. I found the Witness to be excruciatingly monotonous, forced and, ultimately, boring.

Perhaps do what you showed at the link, but only activate it on long tap-and-hold?

That is, if you hover a piece over some spot for X seconds, then it will shuffle other pieces out of the way.

Nah, that's too smart of a behavior. What exists now may have some edge cases, but it is otherwise staright-forward and intuitive. The only real "hassle" is swapping two large assembled pieces closer to the end of the game round, but it's not really a hassle. Not a big deal, really.

> Cards are content-addressed, that is, identified by the hash of their text.

Wouldn't this invalidate card's review history if I am to fix a typo in the card's text?

> _We_ don't need anymore EU regulations seeing how bad and thoughtless ...

Try and speak for yourself. No need to speak on everyone's behalf, this is disingenuous.

Not worth it. iOS 26 is horrible Ui-wise.

Spain probably. Their siestas are as legendary as they are mandatory :)

... and India. Wasn't expecting that at all.

tcpdump is not a "hacking" tool, not in a sense implied in the article.

An earlier iteration of the same block is imo more impressive in its creativity - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wBrOV2FJM8&t=720 - such an unexpected and yet completely natural extension of the brick set.

Yeah, I looked the GP up too, because I never heard of this Cities thing.

I took your comment as referring to people who like to manually unroll their loops rather than members of some particular community, so GP's nitpicking on specifics of that interpretation looked out of place.

I'm pretty sure the GP was referring to https://handmade.network as their manifesto made multiple rounds here, was discussed at length and far more obviously related to "handmade movement" remark than your org.

Nice.

Another neat comment-based construct is the good old:

  //*
     foo
  /*/
     bar
  //*/

It yields 'foo' as is, and 'bar' if the first slash is removed.

That's literally the implication of these findings.

But one can always hope for a miracle drug that you can take for a bit, then stop, and have its effects last. Now we know that Ozempic is not that drug.

Nah, the joke just was fairly flat and low-effort.

You can email mods and ask to bump up a Show HN post if it has merit. Even if it's your own.

Mesmerizing stuff.

Can you allow changing attractor control constants without resetting the sim? E.g. going from 0.19 to 0.21 in Thomas while it's already in a stable state.

It's be interesting to see what'll happen.

What's the native version of the opening proverb?

> What comes with the milk, leaves with the soul.

I doubt the GP tried to imply the opposite.

This is bizarre.

It's a downloadable binary that, as per their FAQ, uses their servers for the actual font ID... and yet there's no web version. Leaving aside malicious intent, I can't think of any reason to do it this way except to conceal the client-server API. And that's strange.

Also weird that there's no company or developer details. Whois for the domain is cloaked. The site is behind Cloudflare, but it looks it's hosted on alibabacloud error, at least partially. And the whole thing is free.

No idea if the file is signed, but won't be surprised if it's not.

I don't see many people finding an installable client for a font ID service from an unnamed developer striving to remain anonymous to be an appealing proposition.

No everyone has a Google account. You'd think it'd be a pretty damn obvious factoid.

Having the skeleton be auto-deduced (through the ML or otherwise) would've been a very natural fit here as a feature. Knowing that it's basically possible to do, selecting the skeleton type and then adjusting it manually, joint by joint, seems ... archaic?

Apparently, it's about screen reader support in web pages.

Also "ARIA" stands for Accessible Rich Internet Applications and it's "a set of HTML attributes that make web content more accessible to people with disabilities."
