The Sun 3/50's pixel buffer was world readable and writable by default, and in console mode had an area at the bottom not affected by scrolling. One could invert random horizontal bars across the screen, transpose the bitmap, or apply a sine wave to persuade the user the massive TV set on top of their workstation was broken. Or, fade text in and out as if the machine was commenting on the user's ineptitude. Much fun was had by all.

You can't search Twitter from its homepage
There's this big fire in Spain so I turned to twitter to find out more, but apparently you can't search twitter from its homepage. I probably missed something so here's a screenshot http://imgur.com/NdOTF9F
Thanks - no, they all got corrected, you guys do great work :)

I think it's sample bias as well, just struck me because I rarely ever saw it before. Probably because they all get corrected very quickly.
Is his face that famous? Especially if he lost a bit of weight? Seems like it would be very easy to setup a new identity that'll pass any checks done by potential spouses and he's unlikeky to be recognized by most people. If anyone says he looks like that Minecraft guy, give them a strange look and a "I wish" or a "hah, my nephew said the same thing".

The strangest thing about the whole thing is that Mojang employees got rather little. If you were out with workmates and found a $2500 lottery ticket, it might be seen odd to say "here's 23 cents". Sure, the scale and absolute values make it different. Why not bring those folks along for a ride? If they could stand your code and they all got along well enough to make games together...
"Woe is me." — Notch.

Are we being serious? Complaining about your wealth, high roller lifestyle, and fancy destinations doesn't garner much sympathy. Is it really a surprise that he is "alone"? Notch rose to popularly by playing the indie developer card and as soon as he had the chance, he did an about face. He may have seen to it that his team was taken care of but that doesn't change the fact that he took the money and ran.

Good on him making billions more than I ever will but don't expect people to feel sorry because it's lonely when you flaunt your wealth.
It's not his responsibility to change the world. He just wants to be a regular guy; what's wrong with that?
I'm sure he has less public channels to seek help on.
He's not a regular guy. He wants to be a regular guy? Get rid of the freaking money.

It may be practical in that there might not be any better option, but it would be dangerous to believe that you are gaining actual insight into the subjective experience of the other person (whom, technically we don't even know exists as a separate entity). At best, you can perhaps know that you are gaining insight into your own model of another person.

The title is just typical sensationalism. We changed it to a more representative sentence from the article.
The problem with his claim of "woe is me" is that his situation is completely reversible. Are your billions really making you unhappy? Here's a thought: donate all of your money.

Oh, but he won't. Because being a billionaire trumps not being a billionaire. He's just taking first world problems to a whole new level.
I'm reminded of the old saw "Money may not be able to buy happiness, but I'd rather be rich and miserable than poor and miserable".

I'm sure their are dark sides to being rich, and I hope I get to experience them one day. Because I know first-hand what the dark sides to being poor are. And this is one case where I will not agree with "better the Devil you know than the Devil you don't know".

Twitter works just fine – but for investors
And people think that their brains are so different from computers...
I've been thinking this for awhile and kinda forgot this wasn't standard thinking.

Obviously there are physical components and psychological components. But when you look to animals (rats eating junk food obsessively, etc) its obviously an addition.

The conscience mind humans have cannot supersede the this fact that its first an addition for all of our ancestors (and thus, us). Therefore while it is clearly both physical and psychological, it always starts psychologically and so the only way to fully cure it is also psychologically.

I feel bad for him. I might not tell him for fear my pity might incent such a state. It's still sad to see him essentially ejected from his life and otherwise incompatible with the social strata in which he's landed.
It's a matter of scale. The amount of money he has could give a $70,000 yearly salary for 10 years to ~3,500 penniless Syrian refugee families. It's not that anyone wants him to suffer. It's the fact that the suffering he feels is dwarfed by the suffering he could erase.
I've also read this repeatedly, and cursory googling[1] seems to confirm it.

This isn't information parents couldn't have gotten previously if they had been bothered. App/service installed on the machine for monitoring (like ActivTrak), transparent proxy, custom DNS server etc.

Parents have a responsibility to explain to children safe internet use, and ensure their safety. This is a sensible feature. "We trust you to use the computer, but we will be checking."

Yes, the child's use of the computer can be monitored. If that's news to the child, then the child has bigger IT education issues.

The only problem is that it's apparently not obvious that it's being turned on.
Ask HN: Any startups need help with customer support?
Hi there! My name is Weston and I'm currently looking for a new gig. Any startups looking for customer service help (full time or part time)? I lived in the valley a few years back but moved back to Houston for family reasons. So, unless you're out here it'd have to be remote. My contact info is in my profile page.

I'm not the OP, but I'll give it a go.

`[` is a Bash built-in command also known as `test`. The `-t` parameter tells it to test if a file descriptor is open for `0`, which is also known as `STDIN`.

So if you're piping something into `STDIN` it will do `pbcopy`. If not -- it will do `pbpaste`.

GaAs panels have ~40% efficiency. It's not easy/dirt cheap (you need high temperatures, and materials to go with that) to get that much efficiency out of steam turbine (or Stirling engine). For example your typical nuclear power plant would have about 33% thermal efficiency. And with the panels you have less moving mechanical parts that need servicing. And the panels are silent vs. steam turbine. Lighter also. Pure solar thermal has been tried/used many times before.
I'd argue that the coworkers that are the most dangerous are the ones you do trust. :)

Having lived thru it the first time around, RS never really sold that stuff anyway. Its nostalgia.

You'd get some token weirdness of a single device that some buyer got a great deal on, but they never really sold everything you'd need, never all at the same time. Little things missing, like, I donno, static ram. Or canned oscillators, or heck, any crystal other than colorburst xtals. Or eproms. Or eprom burners. Or eprom erasers. That was some of their downfall, I was going to have to send in an order to a mail order supplier anyway, so why not pay mail order prices for everything...

Their stocking was also weird. For awhile they stocked 4116 dram chips which were single bit 16K organization. As used in typical home computers in the early 80s, perhaps. Of course instead of stocking 8 per store (you know, 8 bit computers?) they'd stock like 3 per store. Great job guys, I can see you had a wire direct into the heart of electronics experimenting. I remember paying 19 cents on closeout and using a thundering lot of power supplies and 555 timers and some gates to try and turn a single 4116 chip into a single bit memory, purely for entertainment. I don't remember if I ever got it to work. From memory I think I powered up the triple voltage supplies in the wrong order, blew it out, or static zapped it. Kind of a waste of the other 16383 bits on that chip to only use one bit, but for 19 cents of amusement it seemed a good idea at the time.

Could you perhaps point me to a link? When I look at Generalized Anxiety Disorder, I don't see that one:

And there are scads of articles critical of the way ADD is treated in the US, and specifically critical of how the diagnosis and medication are used to create classroom compliance.

Regarding addiction, it would seem to me pretty obvious that it can be diagnosed even when the person doesn't admit that it affects their day to day living. I've met homeless drunks who swear to me that they don't have a problem with alcohol, and denial is a large part of addiction. And then there's the category of high-functioning alcoholics [1], where even outside observers can say it doesn't affect their day to day living.

Depends on the company. There's a need for more people who actually understand more of the aspects of the roles across silos than just being good at your functional area and that's it. But it's horrifically company dependent and it's way different in enterprise where people still don't even know WTF product is outside of a few firms than in SF or NY startup land.

It seems completely obvious that individuality is the basic state, and then we come together to form friendships, families, societies. But I would hold that actually our collectivity and connectedness is actually logically and historically prior to any individuality -- we evolved from social animals, we are still social animals, and even the language with which we say "I am an individual" is a testament and an inheritance from this collectivity. In fact, our feeling of separatedness might be the illusion, not our feeling of union.

Of course there is a Marxist angle to this: the relations of production in Capitalism are based on contracts between individuals, so we become steeped in this ideology from before we are even born and it just becomes "obvious", even though it makes even less sense than earth's seeming flatness.

Even the nasty, brutish, short competitive phase of human history was likely not competition between individuals but between groups whose unity and homogeneity was probably almost total. Anyone who was not one with his / her group was probably ostracized, then died shortly thereafter.

To keep your body at a certain temperature (higher than air around you) you need energy. You have a mass, and to move from point A to point B you need energy. Your cells are constantly being replaced, and there is a lot going on inside you. All this takes energy, and it's pretty predictable how much it will take. Now genetics play a role. It dictates where fat is deposited in your body. Whether to burn fat or make you lazy if not enough energy is delivered, etc. But it won't break basic laws of physics. You won't be able to maintain 100kg of weight while on 2000-2500 cal diet. And with balanced meals this is enough to not feel hunger.

I'm not all that sure that's reasonable even if the parents disclose the monitoring and give their children the choice to self-censor.
