Why SMB(NES) Preemptively Clear the Hidden 1UP Flag Before Mario Hits the Block?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43111044I'm analyzing the disassembled code (https://gist.github.com/1wErt3r/4048722) of _Super Mario Bros._ (NES) and came across some logic related to hidden 1UP mushrooms. While debugging the game alongside the code, I noticed something unexpected: the flag preventing *duplicate* 1UP collections isn't cleared *when Mario actually hits the hidden block*—it happens *earlier*.``` ; https://gist.github.com/1wErt3r/4048722#file-smbdis-asm-L4172Hidden1UpBlock: lda Hidden1UpFlag ;if flag not set, do not render object beq ExitDecBlock lda #$00 ;if set, init for the next one sta Hidden1UpFlag jmp BrickWithItem ;jump to code shared with unbreakable bricks ```For example, in World 1-1, this logic runs *when Mario reaches the position shown in the image below*, even though the hidden 1UP mushroom is still offscreen in the next frame.

Increasing Commoditization and Financialization of Human Relationships (2040)https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43071953By the 2020s, social media had already cheapened friendship. Facebook and Instagram had turned relationships into engagement metrics, where likes, follows, and comments became the new currency of social interaction. But people wanted more than empty gestures—they wanted meaningful connections. Companies capitalized on this demand by tiering relationships.By the 2030s, the first Friendship-as-a-Service (FaaS) platforms launched. Basic-tier friends could like posts and send generic birthday messages. Premium friends remembered personal details and engaged in deep conversations. VIP-tier friendships guaranteed emotional availability during crises, with on-demand listening sessions and scheduled check-ins. These services were cheaper than maintaining real human relationships, and as AI outperformed humans in companionship, friendship itself became a marketable asset.AI-driven friendship platforms analyzed user sentiment, engagement frequency, and emotional return-on-investment (EROI), offeFeb 16, 2025 9:38 PM

It was suggested by James Tobin, an economist who won the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences.*I think spam and aggressive email marketing is akin to currency speculation in some ways, but haven’t read about anything like a stamp or token for emails since Yahoo and AOL announced a plan in 2006 that never took off.*Could it be done, to help reduce unwanted emails and raise and raise public funds for good causes like climate action?

It enhances your editing experience with retro-style audio feedback for various Neovim events.FeaturesExtensive customization: - Generate any sound you like. Compatible with jsfxr - 8 bit sound maker and online sfx generator - Build your sound theme from scratch - Set interval between sounds - Built-in sound themes - Event-based sound triggersWhy?As both a gamer and a developer, I love listening to nostalgic video game soundtracks while programming.

By bringing familiar 8-bit sounds to the coding sessions, it makes Neovim so much more fun! In fact, most of the development was done while listening to Littleroot Town from PokFeb 16, 2025 3:24 PM
