ramigb··on Tell HN: The 10-bit timers are about to overflow on September 17th
Anything that uses and depends on time synchronization basically. Which is a huge list. from railways to game servers. But again, do they all use these devices or in particular 10-bit counters? I have no idea.

I have no idea if he is or he is not who you are asking him, but it's super impressive that you can recognize a musician name from working on a game. Respect for that sir a lot of musicians would appreciate that.
ramigb··on How to stop being “terminally online”
Beautifully written with a lot of thought provoking paragraphs. I am a web developer who is working from home, also I make music in my free time and play online games. I relate highly to what was written but I don't see a way out unfortunately, at least not without shifting careers which is something I am not planning to do in the meantime.

ramigb··on Ask HN: How do you deal with getting old and feeling lost?
We have a lot in common me and you! I am 37 now! the difference is I have married few years ago and a year and a half ago I had a daughter. The last part changed my life completely made me see life in a different way and appreciate life differently. It's totally fine sometimes to feel this feeling you just felt, I personally think it is a calling to do something different! you have a good amount of saving which I personally don't have! maybe try something totally different than your old jobs? open your own small bakery? does not have to be super profitable just something that can get you going? the small things in life are overlooked most of the time but interacting with others, seeing them, being part of their daily lives is super awesome! my advice to you is to explore different things with a new mindset. You are not old man! in my own personal opinion no one who is highly functional on the cognitive level is old! plus once you are REALLY that old then it's new experience all over again :) Best of luck to you.

ramigb··on Senate Considers Banning Dial Phones (1930)
I was born in 84, My city had the manual phone mixed with the dial phone until early 90s, so I remember as a kid my grandmother picking the phone and asking the operator -whom I knew since it was a small city- to connect her to someone ...

Is there any video where the artist talks about the process? I'm really interested in understanding how the artist approached this. Anyways, beautiful work.
ramigb··on Drones flying in formation acting as a 3D display (2018)
This is for sure done programmatically, as you might've guessed. And I'd guess they've built a software that models these animations and treats each drone as a node in a plot and then drones move independent of other drones since their routes are already plotted for them by the software.

So yes engineering wise this is amazing, both software and hardware, but the concept is not that complex.

Think of it as SwarmTouch but without the human "puppeteering" the drones ..

ramigb··on Daily blue light shortens lifespan, causes brain neurodegeneration in Drosophila
If you are a human and not a fly here is what concerns you "... humans are exposed to more blue-enriched LED illumination for most of the day, or even at night due to shift work and light pollution in large cities.6 However, long-term consequences of increased daily blue-light exposure across the human lifespan are not known." saved you a clickbait.
ramigb··on Japanese anime studio Khara moving to Blender
I am sorry to be the guy who does that, but do you know what does Khara mean in Arabic? this brings back memories of the app that went successful in Brazil because the name meant something "naughty".
ramigb··on Marquee HTML Element
That's an interesting use indeed, do you have any examples?
ramigb··on English, Swedish, German and Finnish Decline “Dog” (2013)
No one did Arabic? ok I'll write it in Latin characters for y'all:

One Dog : Kalb, Two Dogs : Kalban, Three to 100 dogs : Thalathat Kelab, Dogs : Kelab .. 100 and more it reverts to singular so it's <Number> Kalb.

I guess in Hebrew it'd be very similar as well but I don't speak it.

ramigb··on Show HN: Not Depressing News
Putting "not" to negate a negative isn't always a great idea. "Not Depressing" still has the word depressing, versus "uplifting",pleasant or even hopeful these words will always be much better.
ramigb··on Arabic, a great language, has a low profile
"But Western students who sign up for a class in it soon discover that nobody speaks this “standard” as a native tongue; many Arabs hardly speak it at all. "

This is not completely true! I'm a native Arabic speaker and MSA is the official language of newspapers, news segments, and legal documents, governments speeches even wedding invitations and not to forget the Quran and the Arabic bible. So it's spoken and written widely but people tend not to use it that often because it's easier to use shorter words that most of the time sum longer sentences.

ramigb··on Ask HN: Why did your startup fail and what did you learn?
It failed because I was an idiot who thought he knew it all. It also failed because my co-founders were my best friends so the "partnering" wasn't based on skills or what you bring to the table, but rather the fact of us being friends. And finally I've fought my incubator/accelerator who were idiots enough to fight me back and it was almost a bullying tournament, I'm glad we solved that and everyone carried on with their lives.

I've learned a lot, to listen more and to choose wisely, not to spend any money before knowing what it will return to the company and also not to over promise. If I have to do it all over again I would but with the mindset of "I want to change my self first" before thinking about changing the world.

ramigb··on Angular 4.0.0 Now Available
I really hope the Angular team find their path again, because it seems like they've lost it a long time ago!. I remember learning Angular 1, 5 years ago, it was an awesome experience but now ... let's say I wish them the best for real.
ramigb··on Video Pros Moving from Mac to Windows for High-End GPUs
I use Windows 10 as my gaming PC, I own two MBPs one for work and one for personal use, I also make music on both Windows with FL studio and macOS with Logic Pro X. Lately I've been feeling that Windows 10 is really smooth and easy to deal with unlike my previous Windows experience so I've started coding -again- on my Windows and to be honest minus some built in macOS applications like QuickTime and preview I don't really mind going back to Windows at all, Unlike Windows 8 or 7 I feel that Microsoft has started listening to users which is really good.
