It's still more honest than generating virtual kebab.

Is it though? I don’t find using stock art to be any better myself.

Stock art food doesn't usually look unappetizing and bizarre.

Sounds like a great self-selection problem.

What about this isn't true?

They never do


And no one is saying that… not even the comment you’re replying to.

It makes a good point though, there’s so much going on in the executive branch right now. Much of it is destructive imo. This is a great distraction for most Americans who aren’t very tuned into politics in general.


Comments decrying or dismissing the disclosure to the public of long-hoarded information is saying that, IMO, and that's the joke. It sounds like a point no reasonable person would make. "there's too much going on right now for this long-awaited transparency" has got to be the silliest thing I've heard on HN in a while.


Something can be highly anticipated and utterly inconsequential at the same time. (See Star Wars Episode 1 as a primary example)

These assassinations were tragic and criminal and shocking at the time, but one has to be Gen X or older to have any emotional connection to them. To the rest of us, it’s just a chapter in our history books that’ll get a new paragraph or two appended now.


To be frank, there are far more important things here than the JFK conspiracy. I am glad it’s being released, but it’s okay to have issues around the context in which it’s being released. It’s clear with the stack of other executive orders that this is intended as a distraction.

In the meanwhile, we have things like the equal employment opportunity act of 1972 being repealed.

If you think that last one is a good thing then I see why you’re being reactive.


> In the meanwhile, we have things like the equal employment opportunity act of 1972 being repealed.

This isn't true. Executive Order 11246 got repealed, which people have lately been calling the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1965 even though that was never its name. The Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972 is still the law of the land and Trump has made no attempt to repeal it.


Just because there's big fat juicy carrot doesn't mean we shouldn't acknowledge the stick


It should be a part of the Rust style guide at this point


Could you expand on the complicated reasons? Or have a resource handy? Is it Bluetooth wireless or 2.4GHz radio adapter wireless that’s faster?


Among other things, the USB host polls the keyboard at a fixed rate. Fantastic breakdown if you have 30 minutes: https://youtu.be/wdgULBpRoXk


2.4GHz radio is faster than most wired connections - though the top-end ones with custom high-hertz implementations are slightly better than wireless.

Radio is also generally significantly more consistent - even when the polling rates are identical. You can see this if you look at the testing done by RTings for mice and keyboards. The latency when using 2.4GHz wireless is extremely consistent, while for standard wired connections, the latency varies drastically from input to input.

Bluetooth is crap and should never be used for gaming inputs. It's both high latency and inconsistent.


The openings were identically sized, but their position was randomized.


All of the Monaspace fonts are really well done.

But Krypton is the best :P


The "texture healing" feature is really clever, I hope that catches on in more mono fonts.


Focus on “efficiency” and environmental regulation?

I think you mean to say cutting back on costs due to corporate greed?


[EDIT]: apologies, my reading comprehension needs work. I thought you were referring to the 737 MAX, not the 777

What? Do you have a source for the last one? That sounds like corporate propaganda. It’s well understood AND PROVEN that the MCAS system (which was a system borrowed from decades old military code) was at fault for this incident. Saying it was suicide seems incredibly disrespectful to both pilots… https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lion_Air_Flight_610 In the article it even states they found the wreckage…


The flight you linked was a Boeing 737. We are talking about the 777.

To date, neither the 777 nor the 787 have had any passenger fatalities from any aircraft engineering flaw. That is a monumental achievement.


I guess I misunderstood the comment I was replying to. The parent comment mentions the 737 MAX so I assumed that’s what the commenter was referencing.

I have read up on the 777 and yes, I agree it’s incredibly safe statistically (as is the 787). I didn’t realize the commenter was talking about the Malaysia flight either. Apologies to them
