Not sure what the policies are on banning sites, but can this website please be banned?

I'm on mobile, this website has deceptive hitboxes so "dismiss" on the notifications prompt will almost hit the advert on the bottom. Once I finally managed to read the article and hit the bottom of the page, it had a popup which hijacked navigation so I couldn't easily return to HN.

Will record this behavior if asked.

That said... There's not much to say about this? Is it using "meta" lenses printed on silicon? Wish the article would have had any information whatsoever. I suppose we'll learn more at CES. :P

Mayo with fries would be a German likeness. Very odd in the States.

I also made a game for the gametank! In rust B)

Optimization is tough, especially figuring out what to do between blitter operations. I'm kinda sad there's no pallet tricks either, but, it's a system worth playing around in :)

I've tried out Pkl which is similar in spirit, and I think it's a real solution for k8s manifests. The only thing holding it back is industry adoption imo. It's leagues better than Helm, and mostly better than Kustomize.

See also: KCL, which is very similar and might _actually_ be "the winner". Time will tell.

But Microsoft _does_ have a widely known C++ compiler. I doubt Sony does. Does Nintendo?

Pretty sure that's the Juniper voice. See the live demo for the new sky voice that is allegedly problematic. Fwiw the client is glitchy when changes voices, so it may have displayed as sky.

They used a sound-alike and had her sing one of her songs. I believe that's a different precedent, in that it's leveraging her fame.

Imo Sky's voice is distinct enough from Scarlett, and it wasn't implied to _be_ her.

Sam's "Her" tweet could be interpreted as such, but defending the tweet as the concept of "Her", rather than the voice itself, is.

I've been using Pkl since it came out and I like it a lot, and the editing experience is fantastic with intellij.

I don't think inheritance is a flaw at all here. It makes a lot of sense to build configuration up from base definitions, especially when you account for its merge syntax.

I've been using it for k8s manifests a la customize. The biggest pain point for me is the lack of flat member syntax when updating deeply nested fields.

Something that's caught my eye is KCL, which seems similar, but maybe a bit more mature?

Cool stuff! I built a similar cluster of Orange Pi 5s with NVMe drives. For IP masking I'm paying for a $3.50 VPS to have nginx forward raw packets.

Fwiw Cloudflare Proxy and, to a lesser extent Tunnels, are de facto MITM attacks. I don't exactly trust large unprofitable corporations to do the right thing when they decrypt all of my and my users' traffic.

Not that CF is a malicious entity, but, the potential for them to be used as one is a looming threat. Then again, so is any VPS you host on :^)

Gene editing fungi to create quasi-meats. I could see this being an economical(?) food of the future if they manage to get long tight fibers and lipids going.

I strongly disagree that smart pointers are "off the paved road". I don't even care to make specific arguments against that notion, it's just a terrible take.

> To ensure result quality, we automatically downrank pages with advertising and tracking, which are often associated with low-quality or machine-generated content.

That is one of the most compelling things I've ever heard about a search engine.

How well does kagi work for niche "reddit queries" like "best waterproof midi synthesizers reddit"?

I would believe it - I just don't think I've seen it. All it would take is better PWM controllers right?

I wonder if the places I've been to just don't know, or just haven't upgraded yet (waiting until the originals die?), or are trying to save pennies on the dollar on repairs?
