What is that, like stadia?

The dev got scooped up by Blizzard right? Maybe thats part of why it feels like it didn't age as well, more attention to Domino and less to Box2D.

Could do something like .brave and just sidestep ICANN?

Theres been some drama with this game where a few of the core admins have claimed ownership and sold out to a publisher. They are taking the free open source game and selling it on steam with a free demo. In addition to the toxic community, its made the whole thing a bit radioactive. Curious to see how it all plays out.

Zvezda has been leaking since 2019. That doesn't seem sudden and without warning to me. I imagine its going to continue to leak until the ISS is decommissioned.

Who is the "they" in your post? The ISS is a bit interesting because its a cooperation between NASA and Roscosmos.

Brave started off incredibly sketchy and with terrible reputation, for example https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18734999

I haven't ever considered it since and I assume many others are in the same boat.

are you saying aluminum smelters are going to convert to ai datacenters?

Does this look normal to have locked videos behind a paywall then have it public and free elsewhere?

Yes, this is very normal on youtube with both patreon and nebula.

I was pretty disappointed with how Factorio reworked how fluids worked in the expansion. The old system had its quirks and the new system is obviously more performant, but it throws realism out the window which is a bummer.

One of the main issues with Kerbal Space Program is instability caused by floating point numbers. I know Starcraft 2 was built upon integers.

When is waymo going to be available in the north east?

architects i know say "i designed that", "i worked on that", "i specified that" or "i chose that", they don't say "i built that"

Very annoying UX, I found it felt like it was breaking continuity and making the ideas on each page disjointed.

I would imagine a trajectory similar to AlphaGo, it starts out trying to replicate humans and then at a certain point pivots to entirely self-play. I think the main hurdle with llms, is that there isn't a strong reward target to go after. It seems like the current target is to simply replicate humans, but to go beyond that they will need a different target.

bevy?

If someone is born does that mean my share of land decreases?

Funny you mention nobody uses var anymore when I just saw a post on here yesterday that perf critical code still uses var since it's faster

is your excise tax really 375? my 2014 honda civic is only $50

Module support is still experimental and under a flag and doesn't have any mechanism for mocking.

The two I find most annoying

Hoisting/import order especially when trying to mock tests.

Whether or not to include extensions, and which extension to use, .js vs .ts.

i believe that secondary stream is used for picture in picture so its lower quality, like 480p or something

its closer to empty than before you drank

I wish javascript had gone in the same direction as php with types.

The main problem with es modules is mocking in tests. How do people work around that issue?

the big one is multiplayer games. udp is preferred and trying to work with webrtc is awful

I think the biggest hurdle in getting something like that to work is how typescript handles the import syntax

The slow progress of WebGPU and WebTransport has hurt my enthusiasm for games on the web. I was so excited 6-7 years ago but it feels like everything slowed to a crawl.

My feelings are similar and I cringe every time I see a "typesafe" db interface that doesn't run time validate the data.

Yeah, thats a big problem with shows that work really well with the music, like Scrubs. I'm glad we have piracy to be able to keep the original works with the intended tracks intact.
