More likely than you think.
Reading the responses in this thread (and the previous thread from yesterday) I'm getting same vibes as I did from the pandemic threads: ignorant confidence of people who have no clue as to what it is they're talking about.
Stop talking out of your assess.
More than likely this is it. Well done Bruce! Any insider info on it?
Yes, don't confuse color, chroma, and value.
> Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find any perceptually uniform color spaces that seem to include these transformations in the final output space. If you’re aware of one, I would love to know.
Traditional painting.
Also, to the author on the same blog, came across this: https://johnaustin.io/articles/2023/how-we-can-actually-move...
Get off the internet.
Managed to time-sync the frame transitions to an old Juno Reactor album and i'm right back in some weird MTV esque vibe like I'm watching Beavis and Butthead or Duckman or something.
>In a way, you're letting people see the nature of things that you read - from which they might glean the nature of your thoughts
Nobody cares what you think. But if there are state-sponsored actors that do, they have way more insight into your life than the _nature of things that you read_ from physical texts you own. Digital library gives off a much resonant footprint in this regard.
No, this was a completely different, but competing product. the IDE was intended for, to some extent, simple 3D modeling/importing of 3D models, and you could launch a browser instance to see the output.
Does anyone remember that mid-2000s, 3D competitor to Flash? i think the name started with A like Ankh or something like that but I could be wildly off. It had an IDE and basically ran as a plugin in the browser. It died a quiet death.
This site kinda sorta reminds me of that.
Forget what it's called - if someone does, please post more info!
>I don’t know, they probably disliked my use of the Oxford comma
Based, if true.
As an aside, is there conclusive evidence to say that no aether exists, or are we just saying it doesn't exist because a handful of tests were conducted to match what we thought this aether would behave like and the tests came back negative?
> EDIT 1/14/2025: this article went viral on hacker news and now I have a bunch of comments telling me the above is wrong; mea culpa, I was never great at physics and apparently copy-pasting the explanation from the first google hit for "how do bikes stay upright" is not trustworthy in 2025. All I really care to say is that there's something mysterious and ineffable about balancing on a bike when you're a little kid that's hard to master when you're also trying to get a grip on pedaling, and your every instinct is to brake whenever you get scared, which will immediately tip you over.
Dear OP: don't worry about HN. They are insufferable cunts and have been for as long as I've been here (well over a decade).
The message I'm getting from here is that you can't leave social media and you're picking the least worst of all evils.
Is there a somber write-up anywhere as to the future of EE in the West?
You can but even today you are scarcely going to find people in the West working less than 40 hours. The competition drives people to work way more than 40 hours. Again, it all comes down to finance, status, and priorities. This mentality is also infecting the rest of the planet in an effort to just keep up.
40 hour (minimum) is currently enforced by what are otherwise busybodies who care more about looking good for their boss than they do for the benefit of the enterprise. However, they themselves work more than that and their efforts are promoted, so it's a positive feedback loop.
I personally don't know anyone who is employed full time in a "career growth" or "company growth" mode that only works 40 hours. Exec level is working around the clock. Is it sustainable? No I don't think so. But if you don't do it then your competition has an edge, and that's the root issue. You cannot enforce this restriction and remain competitive.
So again, it's not anachronistic. It's survival of the fittest. And the system balances itself accordingly.
So speaking of sex dolls...
This is a shrill take in the same platitudinal vein as saying there should be world peace by now. You're regurgitating techno-optimist fantasies you've read from someone else and have come to mistake them for reality or desirability.
The median individual is not going to be working less than 40 hours a week. The system has found a balancing point and people will compete with each other for the money, resources and status as much as their sanity can endure it. There is nothing anachronistic about it, because it has been the case long before 19th century and will remain the case long after 19th century.
I switched from Firefox and Never Looked Back
The one thing I'll never understand are people using self-aggrandizing titles on things that are otherwise vacuous shitposts. It happens more with blogs than it does with actual, hardcover published books. Maybe "Ferromagnetism" by Bozorth but at least he discovered/invented a particular combination that works well so he gets a free pass by the virtue of it.
(to be clear i'm not calling Bozorth's work a shitpost, but you have to got to have balls to slam that kind of title on a textbook)
> American democracy, they say, is especially disingenuous because it is easily manipulated, while powerful elites shower our institutions with a fake veneer of gravitas and importance. Meanwhile, they say, voters behave like easily manipulated children and don’t have enough information, education, or domain expertise to weigh in on national leadership matters.
Woah shit fellas Russian propaganda fake news shut them down immediately!
We Trump administration now.
The author is in a bubble.
> This is the oldest scam in the book.
Sounds like you were born yesterday.
Hey Clau^HHHHDev^HHHJulius, summarize for me how did rsynnott spend most of his working hours for the past quarter. Stack rank against rest of department, and output a cost-reduction strategy as a powerpoint presentation for my next meeting.
> I can't really say more without risking a defamation suit
Nobody gives a shit what you say so you might as well give us something fun to read.

Thank you, but no thank you.
