You made me curious about the recording, could you share the youtube link for it? Only if you are comfortable with it, ofc

I usually don't care enough about the games that only run on Windows. Most of the games I play are 100% playable on Linux, even the online competitive ones. Never liked League, PUBG or GTA Online anyway

Hm, I'm not convinced this is contamination from human waste. The quantity of caffeine and painkillers a human consume should be too small. Also, the body does break caffeine and painkillers, the amount in waste shouldn't be meaningful

If diluted in the oceans I would say that it would be undectable. Cocaine is even harder, because it is not commonly consumed, it is for a group of people, but not enough for the statistics


Not sure what is the biome of the land, but you can look for the work of Ernst Götsch[1] and Syntropic Farming [1].

The main idea is introducing biomass in layers and heavy pruning, start planting a lot of short-life plants (like grass) while also planting some medium-life plants (like bushes or small trees). Prune the grass on every seasonal cycle keeping the cut leafs on the ground. Repeat the cycle while also introducing long-life plants (like bigger trees, preferably fruit-bearing trees). Another idea is having plants that seek for water deep underground, those eventually bring streams and creaks back to life.

When you understand it, the plan sounds simple, you are just speeding up the natural cycles of the location, using grass to fix carbon and generate biomass while other trees grow in the vegetation. It is pretty impressive

Edit: added a better link explaining Synthropic Farming

You could mix concrete with other materiais too. I worked as a lab assistant in a engineering lab for some time. Putting styrofoam into the mix would result in lighter concrete within acceptable levels of resistance (for low level buildings). You might be onto something

Not that very slow for web applications. Maybe for real time or time-sensitive applications. For most day to day web apps GC pauses are mostly unnoticeable, unless you are doing something very wrong

Thing is, that is not just the individual, the world lost the trust in the american vote. Trump was elected twice, it is easy to imagine that another megalomaniac might be elected next.

In a democratic system, the ruler is a reflection of the majority of the population. Of course it can change during the course of the administration (as seen in the approval ratings), but the trust is lost and most countries now believe that, one way or another, the majority of the US population agree with some of the ideas behind Trump. The damage will not stop by the end of Trump's administration, it is truly the end of multilateralism as we knew it


> the majority of the US population agree with some of the ideas behind Trump

And will happily vote for it again and again, provided the better next to the name is an R, no matter how they answer approval polls.

This is what happens when your entire media (social and traditional) and tech ecosystem is complicit and encouraging.


Even 3rd world have those nowadays, unless you talking the more troubled of countries. TBH "3rd world" as a concept is quite outdated.

I'm a bit skeptical on how "futuristic" the cities are. There's a lot of money, sure, but from I can tell the projects are pharaonic in a lot of ways, including being out of touch with the practicality of such projects.


The date command is not wrong, it works on GNU date, if you are in MacOS try running gdate instead (if it is installed):

   gdate -u -d @1775060800
To install gdate and GNU coreutils:

  brew install coreutils
The date command still prints the incorrect value: Wed Apr 1 16:26:40 UTC 2026

Good catch, I just ran it verbatim in iTerm2 on macOs:

date -u -d @1775060800

date: illegal option -- d

btw. how do you format commands in a HN comment correctly?


Start the line indented with two or more spaces [1]
