I would hope they can achieve a 50 year battery lifespan...

After all, in the life of a keyboard it probably types 10,000 characters per day for 50 years. Call that 400 Million events that need to be sent to your mac via bluetooth low energy.

The system can be entirely powered down when no key is pressed, so the only energy loss is a pre-keypress amount. That works out to about 3 Watt-hours (assuming each keypress is transmitted 3 times for interference-resistance and has a packet length the same as an advertisement). A long-life alkaline battery has a low enough leakage to last 50 years, and about the volume of an AA cell can easily power daily use for 50 years. If you want to go smaller and lighter, you could get 10 years out of a coin cell.

It would probably work out cheaper because you don't need to ship the device with a cable or charge circuitry too. Users don't have one more thing to worry about charging either.
Oh cool! Yeah, we are definitely kindred spirits :) I wanted to start with VS Code (in order to scratch my own itch), but I’m now working on a browser “player” and looking into GitHub integration (https://github.com/vsls-contrib/codetour/issues/10).

I love seeing other folks investing in this space. Thanks for sharing!
Patagonia did try harnessing advertising to push a cultural shift in consumption: https://www.patagonia.com/stories/dont-buy-this-jacket-black...

It helped establish Patagonia's brand, but doesn't seem to have done anything to the broader clothing industry.
Nice, I can definitely see the value of this. Might try it out myself.
I have studied this a fair bit and the technology is relatively simple (look it up) biggest challenge is securing enough medical grade oxygen. So yes, GM or Tesla or a lot of other companies with manufacturing bases could make them pretty easily, however the current manufacturers of ventilators have got a lot to loose with an over-supply of cheap ventilators so expect FUD
How similar is this to the antibodies that are injected to a RH- mother just after the delivery of a RH+ baby to prevent the formation of their own antibodies that would attack the next baby? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rho(D)_immune_globulin
i think 'onboard' might refer to the wider context of using a tool in say, a research group. it's not just you learning the tool, it's about how the group uses the tool and the historical developments in place.
The real longer term question without a succession plan meant what is next. But in the meantime we have a totalitarian system with a new world order and new world view that threatened the humanity, with flexible use of market and technology that is too big to fail/ignore/overcome. Ultimately if he can pull it off like Qing emperor, we will be all chinese. Soviet Union 2.0 thousand years to come.
Well, that sounds like awfully little validation. I guess they are in good company with the rest of the world then.
>or if something worse is going on.

given the recent corruption allegations with PIR/ICANN, I wouldn't be surprised if it was corruption.
(Not the OP) I’ve been using xarray for the better part of a year now on some serious scientific projects. It certainly has some pain points and places to grow (it’s still a 0.x release after all), but when it works it’s truly excellent to use. So many things “just work”

> With RIRs running out of addresses, that's about to change

I doubt it. Websites that want to be reachable will find a way to be reachable.

> As techs, I think it's our responsibility to push this forward and keep the Internet free and decentralized

I agree, but there is only so much I'm willing to sacrifice for that effort. I've tried to use v6 for at least two weeks on three separate occasions. I do that about once a year. That's the level of sacrifice I'm willing to make for this effort.

My hope is that one year it goes so smoothly I forget to switch back.
You might disagree with me, but I see business as a craft.
By mass and size, Boca Chica produces the majority of the rocket. By cost and complexity - rocket engines (of Raptor kind) and control systems (of SpaceX kind - with all kinds of telemetry channels) win from Hawthorne.
Just add a GPU please. A whole community of people buy windows laptops just so that they can game on it. For work, Mac's are still best choice.

The hardware has been ready for 15 years already (just think of all the 3D multi-player games and Second Life clones out there).

What we had to wait for was the technology to be reinvented a dozen times before client side web languages finally reached the same point that desktop software development was 20 years previously (and let's not forget the prolonged stagnation in web technologies as pioneered by the dominance of IE6).
In what way are Bitcoins "natively digital" that dollars aren't? The vast majority of USD exists only in digital form that is convertible upon request to paper and metal trinkets.

The reason some banks take so long to do transfers is not because USD is somehow analog, it's for institutional reasons that are entirely rectifiable - which is why it's not true of all banks or often, true outside the US.
Always irked by the word "joining" in this context.

>but humans get tired of repetition a lot faster than dogs

Adult humans, specifically. Thus the natural pairing of kids and dogs. Note this goes both ways, if the kids are driving the parents crazy, "go play fetch with the hound".
>I'm saddened by the lack of academic rigour displayed in this thread. If you have not taught introductory computer science courses, then you have NO CLUE what makes a good introductory language choice.

Judging from what most academic institutions teach as a first language, that seems to move with the fads of each period and what's "hot in the industry" (e.g. Java a decade and a half ago), that's also the case if you HAVE taught introductory computer science courses.

>It appears James Hague isn't working as a teacher either, just giving advice to newbies, so his opinion is just that -- opinion.

As is most "informed opinion" of academic teachers. CS is mostly a sub-field of mathematics, the rest of it is, as Alan Kay says, pop culture.
One bit/pin can be more than enough if you can code some state behind it. On one embedded MCU job, I ended up with just one port pin free. I tied it to a piezo-oscillator and played short Morse strings through it; that was my printf. (It helps that I'm a ham, so I could head-copy those messages.)

Once I turned it over to production use, the techs found the difference in overall sound between "OK" and an error message useful enough that they kept it jumper-enabled. They did put tape over the oscillator's opening to cut down the amplitude, though.
You completely missed my second point there - that even if you can afford to take the performance hit it still doesn't solve the problem.

And most of the cryptographic functions we're talking about here are things for webservers, where low performance leaves you open to easy (D)DOSing.
FBX has been quite successful for 3d content. The format itself is proprietary but the FBX SDK is quite easy to use. Pretty much all tools support it and it pretty much completely solves a wheel that was being re-invented thousands of times per year. Now you can just export as FBX and move on with your life.

I'm not sure how FXG was every going to replace PSD given than FXG is for vector based graphics. I suppose it could replace PSD for some types of content but stuff like digital painting it doesn't seem appropriate at first glance?
"The president could, on his own, restore federal overtime standards to where they were at their 1975 peak, covering the same 65 percent of salaried workers who were covered 40 years ago. If he did that, about 10.4 million Americans would suddenly be earning a lot more than they are now."

But the president doesn't have control over the budget - Congress does. Raising pay without having the money to write the checks isn't really an option.

And unless Congress wants to cut other government services, that extra money needs to come from somewhere, so this would just be a transfer of wealth from non-federal workers (whose taxes would be raised) to federal workers. Taxing the rich corporations to pay for this isn't easy either - they can afford armies of lobbyists to fight against higher taxes (and they'll be the ones making the big campaign contributions in the upcoming elections).
Oceans are huge. Where do you send those 50 bits if you are 1000s of miles from anywhere?
I think part of the issue is that different people expect different functionality from a "standard library". I see three logical divisions within the language we call "Ruby":

1. Core language - Definition of language syntax and literals, regular expressions, core data structures

2. Standard library - Functionality that is expected out of a programming language (not framework) - things like file reading, ERb, etc.

3. Standard protocols - A set of libraries with the default Ruby implementations for standard protocols - HTTP, JSON, SSL, OpenId, etc.

It seems to me like protocols don't belong in the same directory as libraries for basic local file operations, but maybe that's just me.

Either way, I think the standard library, while not a ghetto, could use more order and care.
Same think I thought... "I'm everyone" is just another way of saying "We're anonymous".
"35 U.S.C. 102 Conditions for patentability; novelty and loss of right to patent.
A person shall be entitled to a patent unless
(a)the invention was known or used by others in this country, or patented or described in a printed publication in this or a foreign country, before the invention thereof by the applicant for patent,
or ...
(f) he did not himself invent the subject matter sought to be patented"

Even if Tandberg were granted a patent because the USPTO missed the information provided in the post, it would not stand in court.

Such information should be communicated to the USPTO to have them kill the application during examination.

Case closed.
Nice quote: "Non-breaking error handling is just an applicative functor on a partially applied disjoint union type constructor with semigroup error elements so what's the big deal?!"

I would really like to know more about these past proposals for conventional-looking syntax. I already know of a few, including the OP and SRFI 49 [1]. Could you offer any additional reading on the subject?

Some quotes from a different page on the OP's site [2] suggest that even some experienced lispers can see value in conventional syntax:

> I've used Lisp my whole programming life and I still don't find prefix math expressions natural. - Paul Graham

> After 13 years of doing Lisp and 3 or 4 years of Python, I agree: I prefer writing Lisp, but Python is easier to read. - John Wiseman

Personally, I hold no aversion to the parentheses. But I can see some advantages/uses for a more conventional syntax. Also, it's a fun problem. :)

Sometimes it's not intentional JS blocking. I run adblock and ghostery and by blocking 3rd party scripts some crucial part of a site just break also.

For example, people track link clicks in a web app and they do it with Google analytics. If not handled correctly, it will break all the navigation on a page.
I wouldn't call 55% in 7 years "only". Especially given this statistic doesn't highlight type of housing and price groups (read: housing in the far outskirts pulling averages down, though COVID is changing this dynamic). Starter wages have barely risen since then, let alone kept up. And along with the crisis, one now gets far less mortgage for the same inflation-adjusted salary than in 2013, despite the lower rates.
> I agree, but if we're talking about using a front-end framework like React here, wouldn't that mean we're only talking about the UI parts of the application anyway?

I don't think so; when working on code for a web application there is always code, styling and html elements that deal ONLY with the presentation side of it but then there is also code that handles talking to the backend, negotiating with web sockets, etc. That code really needs to be separated and what I'm referring to.

> the people behind React do make reasonable arguments in favour of their more component-based separation of concerns.

I love component based separations and I get the feeling many of us are talking about similar things.
Thank you...exactly the type of information that should have been added to the article (and I should have found in search).
It's weird how this justification for "look a bubble!" has been consistently voted to the top of HN for its entire existence. Smart people have been chatting about their being or not being a bubble longer than Hacker News has been a thing.

I do choose established providers. The problem is for the community as a whole -- each company that this happens to is another hit to the credibility of early startups.
Is Wal-Mart's markup still bigger than Apple's once you take out the incremental costs of dealing with physical boxes in stores [1]? Considering the substantial markups we see on things like books and DVDs, I suspect not.

[1] To be precise we should also take out Apple's incremental (not fixed) costs for delivering apps, but I suspect those are negligible on a per-app basis.
To me it seems that the real core problem is that people believe in their own imaginary realities that are in disagreement with what's considered to be objective facts (let's keep solipsism aside please), and not the speech (ability to communicate ideas) itself.

I mean... why is it that if someone tells me that Sun rises in the west virtually everyone just ignores this as an obvious nonsense, but when someone says... a more nuanced but nonetheless proven-false controversy (I'd intentionally refrain from any examples - even the ones that were already provided - to avoid even a possibility debating any of those), some don't outright dismiss it.

Maybe I'm a weirdo, and maybe it's simply not possible with humans - but I still hope for a society where (argh, okay, let's invoke Godwin's Law) the next Hitler won't happen not because of some speech laws but because simply no one would listen to the lunacies seriously.

That's awesome! I don't like the idea of soylent (I can't eat a lot of things so I want to like the things I eat), but this seems cool.

Apropos pipedreams: If there was no deposit insurance, people would watch their banks much closer, and banks would be more conserative and open, because they need to convince deposit holders you that they won't go bust.

"In fact, because principal on debt is created by said debt, but interest is not so created, it is not even possible to pay off all the debt. There is literally not enough cash in existence to do it."

That's true in principle, but in practice inflation makes a difference. Let's say $100 in cash is added to the economy today, and $104 in debt is added at the same time. Next year, inflation will have done two things: it will have decreased the value of the $4 of debt, and it will have increased the rate that new cash/debt is added to the economy. So maybe next year $110 in cash and $114.40 in new debt will be added. The old debt gets paid off, but now we have $4.40 in new debt, but it's "worth" the same amount as last year's debt, so we're even.

Sort-of, anyway. In practice the system isn't so balanced, and the old debt isn't paid off, it just piles up.

One solution is to stop generating new cash this way. Instead, next year the treasury could generate $114 of debt-free cash instead of borrowing it from the fed. $104 of that could go towards paying last years debt, and the remaining $10 would be a permanent debt-free addition to the economy. Eventually all of the debt-based cash could be replaced, and the treasury/congress would be back in charge of our monetary system. There are drawbacks to that approach too (partly why the semi-independent fed was created) but it's constitutional and at least the responsible parties would be elected officials.

You should read Rothbard's Egalitarianism as a Revolt Against Nature first and see if it says what you mean. (I couldn't tell you, since I read it so long ago that I can barely remember reading it. I have only a vague memory of what it said, but it did address some of your points.)
I have seen quite a few discussions of that recently, but I have seen no evidence that "income inequality" itself has any negative impacts. Now as a symptom of other possible problems, yes, it can be worrisome, think of the historical divisions, lords/rajahs/mandarins versus serfs/untouchables/peasants for a real example. Today's divisions in the Western world are neither that extreme nor have I seen evidence that they are the result of some underlying pathology like in those examples.
I guess stolen laptops with OS X are a lot more likely to be recovered simply because there are fewer (pirated) OS X install disks laying around, so the thieves eventually cave in and just let them boot up.
dKarl Marx? Kidding :) I upvoted you. The "Marx" comment was inspired by the fact that every time a reasonable liberal with a nuanced view has a turn on the public soapbox, he's instantly demonized as the most ultra-far-left-nutjob.
Using elementary calculus you can derive the arc length of a circle. Trying the same method leads to an integral you cannot solve in elementary functions (for many definitions of "elementary"). These integrals are called elliptic integrals [1]. They satisfy many relationships, one of which is what is algebraically called an elliptic curve.

Trying to gain insight into these integrals, people generalized them to a larger class of similar integrals, which can be thought of as functions mapping complex numbers to complex numbers, that satisfy certain periodicity relationships. They all are defined on a parallelogram, and then the values are repeated over the entire plane. This parallelogram can be cut out, and edges glued together suitably to form a torus (doughnut), which has one hole, called "genus 1" in many areas of mathematics. A sphere, which has no holes, is genus 0.

A general way to study these is the Weierstrass elliptic functions [2], which are inverses of this mapping. These functions satisfy a relationship which (under a suitable class of isomorphism) is the equation y=x(x-1)(x-a), which got the name elliptic curve [3].

Another (connected reason) is there is a way to define the genus of a curve in algebraic geometry, which over the complex numbers relates to the surfaces and holes idea above, but this definition can be defined over any field (reals, rational, finite fields like those used in crypto, infinite fields of finite characteristic, and probably many more structures besides fields).

Using this definition of genus, lines and quadratics turn out to be genus 0. Curves of the form y=(x-a)(x-b)(x-c) have genus 1, which is already called elliptic in the complex number case so this is another way to think of them.

In grad school my math PhD thesis used elliptic curves, so I know a little of the math, but less of the history. I can try to explain more if people want.

Next, do you want to hear why fire engines are red? It has a similarly convoluted story :)

The downside however can be with GTK applications (for me it's primarily Firefox). Official themes like Oxygen got gtk{2,3}-engines-oxygen support to unify look and feel. With new official theme being Breeze the focus will probably shift on the later. So GTK applications will look ugly if you won't use the official theme.

Answer: Yes, but it depends.

I have basically double the size of your house as living house, a guest house that is about 800sq ft and a big ass barn. I could afford it pretty easily but it needs a bit of renovations.

Also, I live about 45 min drive from the nearest city with a population of about 12k. I basically live in the middle of nowhere but with a big house.

I work remotely so I can live here, which a lot of people today struggle with. The trick is to live where no one else lives. In my country there is a massive urbanization going on and living in our capital where I am from is very expensive. A 3 bedroom apartment would cost more than my farm.

I don't know if you should be struggling, but I guess everyone kinda is. Everywhere I look there is people that seemingly have huge amounts of cash but what you need to know is that basically everyone sucks at money. Most of the western lifestyle is provided thanks to loans.

This talk changed my life for the better when it comes to economics and I recommend it to everyone:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-Li_sFNc4Q

I sold my new car, bought an old volvo from -97 and I save about 60% of my income. That is helping a lot so I can afford to renovate the house. What you need to do is simply to live for much less than you earn, that way you will for sure end up financially secured.
I also like the digital twin concept as it applies to sci-fi. Sometimes I daydream our universe is a digital twin built by an advanced civilization meant to simulate the universe's history looking for clues as to what lead to a calamity that they're trying to undo. Random thought :)
