I have a PX-8. It does work with tape, but very badly --- it's slow even for tape and painfully limited. It emulated a disk on tape, with automatic winding for access to multiple files, and required mounting/dismounting tapes or else you lost data. It was just about good enough for loading and saving Basic programs, but only just. Using it with CP/M is an exercise in frustration.
Yubikey + OpenGPG + Enable SSH support on your gpg agent

Unless I'm missing something, that essentially solves the issue, no? Persistent private key, usable across all your machines that can't be exfiltrated. Bonus since you can even generate the key directly on the device!

This gets even easier with newer OpenSSH versions if you use FIDO2 auth for SSH. I've not played with it personally, but word is you just plug in the key and off you go
We intend to add a keyboard shortcut for this[1]. In the meantime you can revert to the old printing interface by setting the `print.tab_modal.enabled` preference to `false` via the page `about:config`. In a few releases time, after we've finished integrating user feedback and polishing rough edges, we intend to remove that preference though.

A 10-minute review of the history of company towns will demonstrate to anyone why this is such an awful idea.

It's literally been done, didn't work, and we moved on. Let's try a new idea instead?
Would it be possible to display the data on a "per package" basis instead of the usual "per 100 g" or "per serving" basis?

I'm not a stupid person, but I still can't for the life of me figure out why the food industry deemed it necessary to invent a psudo-unit, "the serving", that differs depending on what food you're eating and what brand of that food you're eating.
This is actually pretty cool! Great way to find new podcasts and also hear more from an interview subject you find particularly interesting.
Yes, that's a better description of the problem I was trying to capture.
Velimir Chlebnikov, 1885 - 1922.

My favorite poem:

Once again, once again

I’m a star for

you.

Woe to the sailor who has taken

The wrong angle of the ship

On a star:

He will be shattered on the rocks,

On the underwater sandbanks.

Woe to you also who have taken

The heart’s wrong angle on me.

You will be shattered on the rocks,

And rocks will laugh

At you

As you laught

At me.
Is that the same gwern with the blogs that showed up on HN from time to time?
I want to like generators for asynchronous code, but the one thing that disappoints me about generators is how awkward it is to write code that does the same as an async.auto

I use async.auto because of the ease of adding new asynchronous functions that depend on one or more other asynchronous functions having been executed beforehand.

Simply put you can break up a task into steps that depend on each other, and the steps run whenever all their dependencies have been executed. You don't have to worry about whether the functions run in series, or parallel, you just define that one function depends on another and it just works.

I have yet to see a promise example, or a generator example that had the combination of maintainability and legibility that an async.auto has. What I really want to see is a reasonably complicated task that has say 8 or more asynchronous steps mocked out in generators. Say something like:

Post a social item

1) Write social item to database

2) Write reference to social item in feed of person who posted item

3) Fetch friends of user who posted item

4) Fetch notification settings of each friend

5) Add a reference to the social item to each friend's personal activity stream

6) Based on notification settings of each user send an email alerting each friend of the event

7) Invalidate activity stream cache key for poster, and friends

In this flow:

1 & 3 can run in parallel at the start as they don't depend on anything

2 & 5 can run as soon as 1 is finished as they depend on the ID of the object in #1

4 & 5 can run as soon as 3 is finished as they depend on the friend list

6 can run as soon as 4 is done as it needs to know who to email and who not to email

7 can run as soon as 2 & 5 are done as the streams must be updated before the cache can be cleared

With async.auto it is easy to create 7 async functions and define the dependencies, then sit back and watch it run efficiently and magically. Later if you need to add more actions it is easy to insert another function, define what it depends on and see it working.

I still don't understand how to do something like this with generators, and none of the examples I've seen so far is complex enough, nor do they seem to solve this problem in a format as clean as async.auto
That's what boring technology will get you.
And the phrase is "a few bad apples spoil the barrel" which makes the "bad apples" defence bizarre.
> Ostensibly, it’s a move that attempts to lessen a raging problem the companies themselves have helped create. The Bay Area, home to Facebook, Google, and Apple, is the most expensive housing market in the country thanks to the effect of Silicon Valley over the last 20 years, and in Seattle, where Amazon and Microsoft are based, home prices have risen 125 percent since 2012, according to Zillow data.

Can any of the blame really be placed on these companies? It seems like housing could be built to meet the demand.
Who is “we”? I would have been on the fence between Bush and Biden and I feel nothing in common with domestic terrorists who would invade the Capitol and attempt to destroy our democracy.

The mainstream media refuses to take seriously issues raised by libertarians/paleoconservatives like getting rid of qualified immunity. I don’t see Cato Institute people trying to stage a coup.

The mainstream media compared Bernie’s victories to Hitler’s conquest of Germany and said on live TV that they worried if he won there’d be executions in Central Park. Bernie Sanders didn’t incite a riot and then call the rioters “good, special people.”

This is such a bizarre false equivalence, like claiming I should weigh equally the opinion of my doctor and a patient at an insane asylum.
Wouldn't the audience self-selecting based on political alignment limit the discourse to a few predictable takes for any given issue? Did many leftists and centrists go to parler?

(The same limitations will likely occur at the original platforms as populations leave)
That’s part of the reason every major country in the world has a well-funded department of espionage.
These websites are like the proverbial 10000 monkeys generating random symbols.
Tech companies can form any narrative by picking parts they promote, does that still make them not responsible for the result?
There’s a general anxiety of a big company taking a way a big chunk of your life on a whim. It’s not fun to be banned by Google or Amazon. I’m not doing anything wrong to get banned, but that seems backwards somehow. (“don’t break the law and you have nothing to worry about” gives off the same creepy vibe).

It’s a similar feeling when driving next to cop while doing nothing wrong or dealing with a government bureaucracy. They have all (or a lot) of the power and decision making is never perfect.

So perhaps this is an argument for stronger antitrust or whatever. More competition would reduce this anxiety for the regular person.
Why does the vaccine for SARS-CoV-2 work so well but there was no vaccine at all and still isn't for SARS?
For those interested, Facebook had a good talk about this at Scale 2014: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhXC4SKOGfQ

setup a ejabberd server on a beaglebone and put a web xmpp client on it. encrypt the shit out of everything, get your friends on to it.

i'm sure there's valid business reasons to kill xmpp, not just total information awareness pressures from above.
MSIE 11 for mobile is still in developer preview mode, and hasn't been released. As for the desktop version, here's caniuse:http://caniuse.com/#feat=touch

I'm unaware that they released a desktop version where they enabled it, I'll have to look into it.
Try looking in the dev tools? I've been able to debug a few runtime errors this way.
As he says in the article, there is no theoretical reason you can't keep adding cores if they will fit. So given that a 486 was about a million transistors, and a modern Nehalem has about a billion, you could probably make a chip with a thousand 486s on it today.

A clock frequency of 10 GHz is crazy talk, on the other hand. It would use way too much power. The power dissipation of a circuit is something like

P = C * V^2 * f

where C is the capacitance, V is the voltage, and f is the clock frequency. The problem is that the necessary voltage also grows with f, which means power dissipation grows much more than linearly with clock frequency.

There is an explanation here:

The comments on that post are also very good.
One could argue that those three sites just have the network effect going for them, but that's incorrect IMO.
I've wondered this too, considering the ease with which you can clone ASOP and throw it on an ARM device. Perhaps it is something like the proverbial "enterprise" software markets, where sales trump technology?
A more accurate title for the article would be "wild hypothesis is proposed without a shred of evidence".
My N64 sticks wore out through Goldeneye, Zelda, and Mario Kart, no Mario Party needed. It was just a first-gen stick design that didn't hold up.
There used to be on Android, it's called Disa, but a lot of services actively combat third party clients.

It was nice when I used it back in like 2014 because if WhatsApp went down I could just keep talking to the same person via Telegram (assuming they had both) and it'd all be in 1 joined conversation.
Surprised to see the relatively low number of votes for Threema, why is this?
That always felt like a dubious standard. Parkland is a public good, but the Supreme Court would insta-smackdown any FD-style restriction on political speech in parks.
I ran into issues coding an interest calculator for personal usage when I realized that the length of a year is variable. My unit tests were failing because all the finance examples never explained how they dealt with time changing out from under the formulas they were using, and all the computer knew was Unix time.

I still don't exactly know how to handle this. If you start an account that compounds interest continuously, does the daily interest rate change if one year is longer than another?
Just don't forget that he's a showman, and explication is part of his act.

Looking to hire a local programmer would be one use.
I haven't found a big difference in the quality of friends met online vs in person.

What has been different is how well those friendships persist. Finishing school, changing jobs, moving to a new city or neighborhood, or simply changing schedules can put you out of touch with "real life" friends. But I can still log on to the same websites, and my online friends are still there. Such a change might even put me closer to them.
> Things are very bad in my city. There is no any kind of active community of computer enthusiasts; be it some Linux Users Group or something similar.

Start one! Seriously- no jive. Be that change that you want. It may be that your affinity is not to be a developer--- you may actually be an organizer of people! Try it! You can do it for free! Make announcements! Start by meeting once every two weeks in the evening and teach people everything you know! You will make connections! You will be tapped to work with others. You will grow along with those around you. The people you help will see your strengths and send better opportunities your way. Trust me, you will see.

Seriously, start it up. It is within you to do it and it is free and fun! Find a library or a park or someone's living room or a restaurant. Even if it's just one computer, gather a flock.
Portland is part of Washington? No.
I think it started out with good intentions, but like so many
great ideas it was abused. I am very leary of any new law
because they take years to get off the books, and many innocent people are punished. Three strikes--great, until
guys are put away for stealing a candy bar. Seat belt laws--great, until cops actively looked for any violations, and the
fees went up. Drunk driving crackdown--fine until cops started pulling over everyone(profiling) who is out past 10 p.m. on a friday--looking for that rare person over .10%. Even
building code statues should be throughly reviewed before making them standard practice.(The average person has no idea
just how any codes are involved in building a structure.) Yes, there was a time I could get in my car and not worry about getting pulled over, or having to go over a check list(
insurance, lights working, licence plate light working, right
time of night, checking Trapster before a long trip, right people(yes-it's what you think) in my car; and it was beautiful!

I present to you Texas science textbooks and their treatment of the theory of evolution. Or shall we teach our future engineers that Pi is exactly 3 too? Ignorant people with influence is a terrible thing.
Before it got to who's pipe? ISP's have very little interest in filtering outbound traffic. Most clients have limited upstream, and they would have to pay for the expense of this filter. If you botNet 100,000 computers in different places each ISP they are on suffers very little, the target suffers a lot, and the carrier in between has very little interest in spending CPU time on fixing the issue.

...that is simply not practical. Transparency would hurt the US's security...

I've said it before, and I'll repeat it here: this claim needs to be justified with actual evidence, not just assertions and speculation.
Just to add to this, 140dB isn't about twice as loud as 80dB as the units might lead you to believe, since the scale is logarithmic: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decibel

These FE cars are MUCH quieter than their F1 cousins.
'chatmasta expects there to be a thread about how to opt out so I'm assuming there's some reason to do it. Otherwise, why would it come up?
Omega-3 doesn't taste like fish unless it's literally fish oil, which is often an additive to improve the 3-6 ratio of foods. Flax seed doesn't taste like fish...

Grass fed beef tasting "fishy"? I've never experienced that and can't imagine how it would work.
CPTN Holdings is "a consortium of technology companies organized by Microsoft Corporation". So, Microsoft.

This is the irony here, to achieve what these people ask, Incognito mode itself would have to become inherently less private, for the sole purpose of stopping Google Analytics, but every other tracking service would probably become even more powerful.

It did not fail at providing money to the military-industrial-congressional complex. But of course we need more fighter jets instead of Medicare for all and UBI.

China is not going to send fighters over to Bomb the us mainland, this thing is totally unnecessary.
This may be a statement that the U.S militaries post-ww2 doctrine of air superiority is no longer viable. Large Battleships once had to face a similar reality that it was impossible to make them survivable if the enemy had air superiority.

Drones are cheap, good missiles are 1/100th the price of an F-35. It's possible that aircraft will no longer be able to enter contested space without significant risks just as it was pre-ww2 where it was impractical to achieve air superiority or to destroy anti-aircraft placements.

Considering the extreme investment of the US into aircraft as a means of projecting power and winning wars against conventional militaries, there is a chance that an opponent with a much smaller military budget could "win" in a conventional fight - making the multi-trillion dollar aircraft projects pointless.
> Surely product makes these decisions, not engineers, right? I agree that customer empathy is important, but I don't think we can conclude that the engineering team (rather than the product team) is the source of the deficiency?

I haven't worked inside AWS or GCP, but I've never seen product get everything they want, especially around maintenance/downtime. If "less downtime" is on the roadmap but engineering is constantly pushing back "that'll be really really hard and take a long time and they're just using it wrong anyway," I can't imagine it getting done as quickly as at a place where the engineering team was also focused on customer satisfaction.
I only found out about Fry's in 2005 (living south of the border) and from then on, it was my must-stop every time I came to the U.S. Haven't ever seen a store that carried so many PC parts it was a dream come true for a young impressionable teenager as I was.
Hi, if I can ask, what are your choices for ISPs in Gaza? What is the situation like for residential fixed broadband, and for LTE services?
It's also a lie. AT&T currently has a slow lane. Eg, I have fiber gigabit duplex, but for encrypted uploads to unknown servers, I get throttled to 10mbps. This restricts VPN traffic to many companies, including mine 10 miles away. This also restricts bit torrent traffic, and AT&T employs some sort of Sandvine like service that sends disconnect messages to users downloading from AT&T.

As far as I know AT&T has not created a slow lane for download speeds, which is why most people probably do not notice.
Peer state war where everyone has Ferraris? Or at least fleets of Benzes, so you want to one up them with fleets of Ferraris.

Even without getting into a shooting war, you could argue your Ferraris will terrify the Benzes from even coming out to play, thus avoiding war. Not to mention the Toyotas and the Volkswagens.

That said, I know some people will argue a peer state war between superpowers (say, US, Russia, China, etc.) will inevitably escalate to nuclear. I don't claim to know enough to say how valid that is.

Also, at full production, the US is supposed to have a ridiculously overwhelming large zerg fleet of F-35s (more than 2000 between the branches, according to wikipedia). That totally eclipses anything planned by Russia or China for their own 5th gen fighters.

I realize you're just in beta right now, but it would be nice to see a little more how the site works without having to sign up. The video is cute, but doesn't really say much about how it all works.

Someone needs to build a Heroku for Clojure.
Sure, it's fixable. But it will be a cat and mouse game and I am not sure it's worth the effort.
Well, that was a silly article. Of course, the mac can't go anywhere since they're needed to build the pretty apps for the iOS. They're updating the hardware (see the recent updates to macbook pros and macbooks) but maybe they're just slowing down on the main OSX software development. But even that's fine with me, since Snow Leopard has been working pretty well for me.
I just have to say I hat that new brand. Yuck!
Good excuse for giving the site a much needed facelift.

I used to use it as a decent super-lightweight IDE with the "Explorer" plugin locked to the right side and the all the icon toolbars hidden. I mainly use Eclipse now that I finally configured it how I want, but I still used Notepad++ today to teach a graphic designer HTML and CSS. Due to Notepad++, I can't use an editor that doesn't have highlight-on-click for matching opening<> and closing</> tags anymore out of annoyance.
It's not a defense. It's a fact. My co-worker prefers to receive all tweets via SMS. They advertise the SMS feature at the top of every page. Calling people names at every turn isn't going to make your point more valid.
Good point. Still the critical point of the article is that obsessing on getting rich is more likely to lead to failure. Staying loose and having fun is more conducive to creatively solving customer needs. Solve customer needs and you'll probably make a lot of money. Focus on getting rich and you probably won't make any money.

House prices are represented in the consumer price index as 'imputed rent', generally by far the highest weight item. Last time I checked, its weight was at 9%.
This happens even when people do not realize it is happening to them. Self-censorship is not always a conscious process, and an increased ability to enforce the status quo means a decreased ability for people to even recognize that the status quo can be challenged.

Without privacy, marijuana legalization would not be anywhere close to where it is today. Womens suffrage would have taken decades further. The American Revolution would have been stamped out.

The ability to harbor unpopular opinions is essential to progress. And privacy is essential for that.
Hmmm, Googling seems to indicate that private donation centers in the US allow donations twice a week. Multiple donations per donor?
Problem with vaccines is that there is as yet no evidence that humans develop immunity to COVID-19. No immunity, no vaccine.

Hopefully that changes soon.
Are they testing the negatives? If not, asymptomatic transmission will contaminate the negatives-ward.
China, Vietnam, Cuba.
But less heat, which allows you to cram more stuff in a package, which is a win !
China now has a lot of donors for plasma with antibodies. That's why they can stop the shutdown and start tracing outbreaks and treating patients.
Any idea who’s coordinating this? Would like to share but want to make sure this is legit.
We are in uncharted territory. At this point it's just guesses (educated or not).

They are in a war zone in Italy and presumably in the US very soon. If hydroxychloroquine is safe (except for some people with a known predisposed genetic condition), then we should be giving it widely and early. We can worry about the science and studies later on, but right now we need to save lives and decrease ICU overload.
