I wonder if a statistics-based cheating detection system could work in more of the esports style games? Chess.com seems to have a pretty good method to detect cheaters based on analysis of post-game data: https://www.chess.com&#x

Gotta love "net send". I just recently watched an old episode of The Screensavers from 2002 where Kevin Rose talked about potential spam abuse of computers connected to the internet with the service enabled. If you got some nostal

Thanks for mentioning mermaid.js. I am bookmarking this and excited to try it. I’ve always loved https://sequencediagram.org for creating sequence diagrams with text (highly recommend btw), but have also wanted to create other

Indeed. To expand to help save time for someone else: “Retail sales increased 3.1 percent from Nov. 1 to Dec. 24 compared with the same period a year earlier” What that means, if anything on its own, is up for debate.

Yes, I was thinking the same. I am super curious about what functionality in this could be used for sound generation. It even looks like a full synthesizer. When I first saw the pictures, I thought it was some weird version of an EMS VCS

In addition, six human genes were inserted into the genome of the donor pig… Oh my. This is quite an achievement but also shocking to me the extent of gene editing performed.

Super intriguing. I don't really know much about FPGAs, but the idea of using them to essentially clone old gaming system CPUs is flat out awesome. I assume that theoretically this would be identical to original hardware, unlike emulat

The idea of creating computers out of virtual objects has always fascinated me since I first saw someone do it in Minecraft. It really brings up some interesting scenarios that I like to day dream about sometimes. For instance, in a real wo

Great article that brought back some fond memories of the Sega Channel. As a young teenager when we got it, I was in awe of the technology and wondered how it worked and why something like it didn’t exist for the computer. Not having to tie

To be honest, I think he is more of a musician’s musician and a bit hard to “get”. Outside the artistic creativity itself, I find his music more enjoyable by recognizing the craftsmanship and musicianship required to create his unique sound

I like your thought, but if a voter can lookup their vote to confirm it got counted correctly with some form of receipt, then it opens the door for vote buying. I’m not sure if there’s a way around that, but it would be awesome to be able t

I find it fascinating that even the possibility of water existing on Mars was almost a foolish thought — just a few years ago even. And now, here we are with an image of a 51 mile wide crater full of ice. Truly an amazing time to be a fan

I have apparently been living under a rock and hadn’t heard of Haiku. Looking at the screenshots, it instantly reminded me of BeOS. I ended up reading the Wikipedia page on BeOS for some nostalgia and it mentioned Haiku. Glad to see BeOS st

In my experience, it’s not “magical” and isn’t noticeably different than chugging Gatorade, but I like it because it’s a more natural way to get rehydrated. Some athletes use pickle juice for cramps as well. Another benefit, if you use natu

I worked at a software company that went through a "lean transformation" where management effectively idolized Toyota's production philosophy and wanted it used in each and every department. While it helped our customer servi

I've recently been playing with F# on the side to learn more about functional programming and his website version has been a key part of what has kept me going. It's good to see an easy-to-read ebook version! F# is impressive and

You find it odd that Sublime Text is so widely loved? Seriously? It combines the greatness of some of the best editors out there into a single one that is approachable and sexy and you can't see how it appeals to the masses? Let's list out

Yes, I am very disappointed. I cannot comprehend how the handling of large files hasn't been addressed yet. I really hope at least there is a setting for toggling the syntax on/off based on file size, if nothing else. I mean seriously, DOS'

Not on topic, but HOLY CRAP that is an annoying website. Slyly "inserting" pages in your browser's navigation history as you scroll down is clever, but it's a sure-fire way to piss off a reader! I thought I had just blanked out for some per

I think the author is getting at something, but I don't think he articulated his thoughts too well -- or at least not well enough to be analyzed by the HN audience. To me, it came off as just pure garbage, spewing from a wealthy and/or insa

I'm not up-to-date on networking technologies, but it's surprising to me that some sort of error correction hasn't already been made a standard yet. I wonder if something along the lines of old-school Parity files would work in the packet w

You might be able to group Google in that category too, depending on how far you take it. In a way, I think it's exciting. It should allow them to do some cool things and Apple definitely has the resources to do such. Although, when I put m

This seems to really be an exercise in futility because at any real job, they would all be "blamed" for screwing up. If I had to pick one person to fire though, it would be the front-end developer I guess because he caused the issue to begi

Make it where people want to grow up to be teachers. The only idea I have for changing that is to pay teachers A LOT of money. Not just decent money. I'm talking about medical doctor money or more. Make it where teachers are not only respec
