Since someone already mentioned electric guitar, I'll go with: Petzl Grigri 2[1]

I was initially pretty skeptical of Grigris. Climbers have used far more primitive devices for a long time, why do I need a big, bulky hunk of metal and plastic to catch falls? But now that I have one, you'll have to pry it from my hopefully not cold or dead hands. I don't need to have a death-grip on my rope if my climber is hanging for a while. I can go hands-free on rappel to get stuck gear. Most importantly, it has certainly helped prevent some accidents that could have been catastrophic--one particular incident left me with a broken foot, but without the braking assistance from the Grigri, I may have instead walked over to a cratered climber. Best $99 I've ever spent.

Greenland didn't become uninhabitable during the little ice age, there's people living now in Greenland descended from people who survived that supposedly uninhabitable country.

The Norse colony got wiped out, but it's unknown whether that was because of war, famine or some other reason. We just know life would have been hardier in those years.

What little we do know suggests that they were unwilling to learn the traditional lifestyle from the natives, and the country became uninhabitable for anyone insisting on only using Norse farming methods.

It sounds more than likely that HolyJit will use Cretonne as a backend.

It is impossible to have a standard ABI for a language that is supposed to be compiled down to machine code and run as native executable. The ABI is tied to the OS and specific machine. At best you can have standardized machine specific ABIs.

Which is exactly what we have.
Great topic! I've come to learn (haha) that most people with "learners syndrome" can actually turn it around and into something worth having. Others just happen to give it up for practical reasons. For me personally, it worked out quite well (so far): I'm 35 now, and the universe has continued to move me into positions where I still have not built any production systems myself yet (and probably never will), but into what one could call the now senior project management space. Especially with all these fine open source frameworks to play with, it is easy to get sucked into the communities around projects you like, and contribute in non-coding ways, and the "learners syndrome" is very useful to be able to continue conversations and even do some peer programming/reviewing on a very technical level. People who delve into their "learners syndrome" and accept they will never become "great coders" themselves are actually very valuable people to have around.

My lesson in this would again be: Let it go, just do what you want, and everything else will align to turn your "syndrome" into a clear benefit.

There’s a difference between truth and objective truth. Something can be true in the same way an arrow can be shot true to its target. Requiring everything to be objectively true is an absurdly high standard, imho.

Yes, mastodon - and others like Gnu Social - can function in an isolated fashion. However, as others have noted, it seems you want a chat-like system...where as mastodon - and others like Gnu Social - are really meant to be social networks.

You may also want to consider matrix (see matrix.org)...which is a chat-based, decentralized, open source platform...which yes can also be setup in an isolated fashion (and not phone home anywhere)...and there are also bridges between matrix and other platforms such as slack, irc, etc.; see https://matrix.org/docs/projects/try-matrix-now.html#applica... I encourage you to try the main matrix.org server first using the riot.im UI/client...and if it seems like it works, you would want to proceed standing up your own matrix server within your corporate network.

The reference server most people install is synapse; see https://matrix.org/docs/projects/server/synapse.html And while it is quite performant, and somewhat the de facto thing that most people install, my guess is that the future (ref. servers) will likely be:

* the Go-based Dendrite: https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite

* the Rust-based Ruma: https://github.com/ruma/ruma

I've set up my own matrix server using synapse - admittedly for my own family - and its pretty straightforward installation, and quite rock solid for being such a new platform. There are so many people building stuff for it - such as these bridges - and using it, that's it quite exciting. Again, though, matrix is for chat (e.g. irc, slack, mattermost, etc.), and mastodon/gnu social is for social network messaging. i hope that helps, cheers!!!

There are lots of solutions if scarcity of resources is not a problem. Building massive temporary greenhouses is likely limited by the economics: importing any materials, constructing them to be able to survive strong winds, irrigation, limiting life cycle CO2 emissions, and other issues unique to greenhouses.

Since they grow saplings in greenhouses and take those out into the world, greenhouse space is likely economically constrained. It seems optimal to start a bunch of trees, and send them on their way, and keep the process going.

They currently have a ban on imports of live trees, and lack restrictions on sheep grazing (learned per other comments on this post). These things alone might be less costly than constructing lots of temporary structures.

It's interesting to see that this is a vulnerability caused by PS4 specific kernel modifications. I guess it's good news for FreeBSD users that PS4 jailbreaks do not imply vulnerabilities in FreeBSD.

Conversely, I'd imagine the PS4 jailbreak community is vigourously looking for privilege escalations in FreeBSD, but no results so far. I wonder if anyone familiar with it could shed some light on whether that's a correct way of looking at it.
Being old and of itself isn’t bad. A lot of us are still using IPv4, and everything still applies. To few people know the basic concepts in this tutorial and can’t patch/fix problems that are trivial on any server.

OTOH, it’s really long for a tutorial and starts with a dissection of IP headers, the audience who needs it most have probably tuned out after the first dozen, and certainly by STCP.

I'm sure many of us have observed this over the past two decades. 20 years ago I could drive to California from Arizona and by the time I got to San Jose my windshield would be smothered in insects. Not so much now, just a few on the whole trip. I recently drove to Albuquerque and noticed one hit my windshield on the way back. One. Which I tried getting off with the wipers, but it was stubborn (must have been a big one) so I ended up squeegeeing it off at a gas station. There definitely has been a reduction in insect population here in the southwest.

Ask HN: Sim City for religions?
I have come up with an idea for a computer game. How do I give a 'heads up' on this idea to some game designers, so they can consider it for their future games?
The idea is basically like Civilization or Sim City, but with the goal of building a religion, rather than cities or civilizations: the populations are already there, but you now play as some currently unknown diety, and you really want to attract a group of followers and have them start a religion based on your teachings.
So what do you do? You apply small, symbolic miracles strategically, you "hire" a human prophet to talk your case on earth, you make sure your followers invent writing before the others, such that they can put down your memes in writing for more efficient distribution. You produce a stream of memes, sees which of them appeals, then promote them to canon. Etc.
There's a lot of modern research on the field of 'the mechanics of Religions', so to say. Try googling Edward Slingerland
> the findings on Dual-N-Back and working memory are less ambiguous and more positive

Huh, I guess this is what I was missing. I had the impression that even on working memory in particular, dual-n-back had mostly failed on a practical level - it just created training effects that broke the validity of certain tests.

If that's not the case, I'm suddenly much more interested.

> so unless your documentation is amazing

As I pointed out I usually don't have null pointers at all. There might be a few places where a value can very obviously be null, but they are far and far between. No need for documentation.

> Boom segfault.

Which is exactly the right thing to happen (it's the C version of Exceptions in dynamic languages) since the code was incorrect.

> Always check for null. Kind of annoying and lots of people don't for whatever reason.

And now what do you do if you detected null but it was not allowed? Throw an exception? You can have that for free by just not checking.

> Use references. As you say, annoying because then you can't have null (sensibly) even when it would be really useful.

C++ references don't really protect you from NULL. It's just a different syntax for the same thing.

> Use std::optional<int&> or something like that. I only just thought of this and don't know if it would work, but I bet it's a pain.

Yes, pain, big pain. So much line noise and typing (in both senses) around what is essentially an int.

Just don't check. I don't get why there's so many places for null pointers. (As I said elsewhere, I don't have a solution for JSON style microscopic programming, and I don't care about that.).
I doubt the OS and compiler vendors will ever agree on one.

Right now the "best" solutions are COM (aka UWP) on Windows, and the C++ Itanium ABI description.

Even C does not have one, just that most mix language ABI with OS ABI, which happen to be the same on OS written in C.

If you pick something else, not written in C, for example IBM i, then the ABI is actually TIMI, the OS/400 bytecode format.

MBIs, the binary format for modules, might be the answer but until then there are many issues to tackle and agree upon.
