This would actually make me want to live in California. Everyone should experience hallucinogens in the life, particularly magic mushrooms. It's truly a life changing experience, for the better. Some of the best nights of my young life were spent with friends, and mushrooms.
Seconding 4:3 being the absolutely best aspect ratio for working with text. My X220 is amazing in a lot of ways but 16:9 is borderline unusable on any display under ~17 inches in my experience. Even 16:10 feels so much better.

You may be interested in making a "T70", which is a 15.4" T61 shell with a contemporary motherboard made by a group of Chinese ThinkPad enthusiasts. I've been considering an "X62" (same concept applied to the X61) but haven't pulled the trigger yet due to concerns about reliability and maintenance.

When I was in my first year of Computer Science (17 years ago), I had this CodeWarrior error that still makes me chuckle. I think I had a comment, assignment, and a System.out.println(); It wouldn't compile, had an error every single time. The tutors took a look at my code, and one-by-one gathered around until they were all there.

Eventually, someone (Natalie) moved the comment below the assignment, and it worked normally. I tried putting it back above, and it wouldn't compile. Can't remember what happened if I left the moved comment in place and put another above the assignment. I found two like that - one in CodeWarrior, one in Turbo Pascal a few years before that simply returned "error 0: no error."

It wasn't anything complicated in either case, just very basic stuff.
> There is no way in the JVM to say "replace my stack frame with a new one for that other method and execute that"

Nor does there need to be one, because translating function calls to jumps is the (AOT) compiler's business, not the VM's.
> It's absoultely not true that it's equivalently complicated to tail recursion detection.

Tail recursion doesn't need to be “detected”. The correct implementation of all tail calls, recursive or otherwise, is to overwrite the current activation record, rather than save it.
Interesting. I found Twitter to be vastly better than other social media companies. Far better documentation (though weird complicated auth where I get 4 pieces of info for some reason). Far more stable and understandable. Twitter returns a ton of data in each response so there's no need to go making multiple requests.

Compare to FB which is just a nightmare of trying to guess and figure things out. It's so bad. If it reflects their underlying model at all, their main codebase must be very difficult to work on.

Charging is a welcome improvement over the previous situation: Deal with Gnip or other data brokers. They're "Enterprise". Get no information, have to deal with a long sales cycle and sales team, have to wade through tons of BS to figure out what you need. It sucks.
Reparability is the main downside to the retina MPBs for me. With my old MBP I could swap out the battery in 30 seconds, and I could upgrade the RAM. Neither of these are possible any more.

That said, I'm still using my 2012 retina MBP and it's going great. These things are built to last!

My thought is they aren’t looking at anything other than gluten and fructan. I’m sure there are other compounds common in foods containing gluten that need to be examined and eliminated as causative before publishing a study with a title that implies a conclusion.
Its all about the perception.

I've been running Arch on testing repos and with the linux-mainline kernel for years now and haven't experienced any major breakage at all.

I believe its down to the reputation of Arch Linux - people perceive it as a "bleeding-edge" and "breaking" OS and thus every even minor problem they experience is attributed to the OS and this perception is reinforced.

The same people might be scourging for hours on ubuntuforums because Ubuntu filled up their /boot partition with obsolete kernels and won't boot anymore. But its still perceived as "stable".
The main advantage (at least for me) is the physical height of the display. If I sit in front of a laptop I don't want to look _down_, I want to look forward as much as possible. The taller the screen, the more comfortable I can sit. And the T61 with a 4:3 ratio has a higher display than all modern laptops while keeping the size down. I could get a 17" gaming laptop for a similar height but those machines are massive.
Germany has multiple square miles of open-cast lignite mines feeding straight into their coal-fired power plants. Incredibly cheap, far more environmentally destructive than coal in general. (A German YouTube user I follow posted a really good video of the endless barren wasteland where German countryside and villages used to be, but he seems to have taken it down.) I believe they've shut down essentially all of their traditional underground black coal mines for cost reasons.
I think that 100 number was people at the factory so you cant just assume that’s the entire company.

There are a ton of theories out there that the gluten sensitivity is something other than for gluten, but just a big correlation.

I'm pretty convinced by the literature that gluten sensitivity isn't really a "thing" outside of celiac disease, but even with me, I have problems with painful acne breakouts when I eat gluten, that don't happen when I don't have gluten. And from doing some googling and informal surveying of friends, it seems I'm far from alone on that.

Now is that because of gluten itself? Who knows. Maybe it has to do with how wheat is processed these days, or something else. It's really frustrating that something so basic and common doesn't seem to have any scientific answers, though.

Exactly my experience, except I just spilled coffee on it and now the keyboard needs replacing. That's expensive and a bit hard to justify on a 5 year old machine, so I'm going to break out the screwdrivers soon and give it a go.

With every previous laptop I would have just taken it as a good moment to buy a new device, but I honestly don't see the point right now.

It's interesting that they compete with Chrome as a open-source browser yet >80% of their annual revenue comes from search engine deals with Google. Just an observation.
Yep, I am thinking about one of those, but my main problem is not so much the CPU/RAM but the display itself. The 4:3 display in the T61 is just not up to date anymore (e.g. it is utter garbage in every single category). I'd rather have a modern IPS display in 4:3 than a new motherboard but this does not exist.

If there would be a modern "IBM" with a 1600x1200 IPS display in a 14"-ish chassis I would be first in line to buy it.
Any chance the line endings were different and that was somehow messing it up?

Bringing a new meaning to "tortured artist", opening up for tortured software devs to join in a more literal sense.

Why don't we look for other cool ways to make excuses for things getting worse or being bad, like saying "It's a bad craftsman that blames his tools" and other platitudes to excuse away technology that is legitimately worse than its alternatives? It's so meaningful to everyone around us when we refuse to engage in any kind of discussion about how good things are and why some things could be considered worse than others.

Title has a typo.
Those dates and interpretation doesn't seem right.

First, where are the 15 years of work by a given team? Quoting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Genome_Project :

"After the idea was picked up in 1984 by the US government when the planning started, the [Human Genome Project] formally launched in 1990 and was declared complete in 2003."

and "An initial rough draft of the human genome was available in June 2000".

That sounds like it was more than 1% done in 10 years.

Second, who thought it would take 100+ years? Quoting the same link:

"The $3-billion project was formally founded in 1990 by the US Department of Energy and the National Institutes of Health, and was expected to take 15 years."

Third, when did Kurzweil make his prediction? If it was 15 years after the start, and 7 years before the end in 2003, then are you saying he made his prediction in 1996 and the project started in 1981?
I was lead on a project that was making heavy use of the HTML5 filesystem API. We were transiting multiple GB through the API in a single session.

The program had a memory leak. It was about the same whether it was deployed through Cordova on iOS or node-webkit on OSX or Windows.

There was a _lot_ of code in this thing. A lot of code within the content (which was written by another vendor) and a whole bunch of code in our wrapper that was there to emulate legacy behaviour of the old ObjC app it replaced.

We assumed the leak was somewhere in our code or the other vendor's code. We spent _months_ trying to figure this thing out. I spent countless hours looking at heap dumps. Going over every bit of dumb code to try and figure out what was wrong. This was a big undertaking with a lot on the line from our client.

Then one day we upgraded the version of node-webkit. It happened to include a newer build of webkit. The bug _vanished_ on the OSX and Windows builds. That was our big break. All of a sudden the possibility of a compiler bug was on the table.

We ended up tracking it to a bug in webkit's implementation of (iirc) the html5 filesystem API. Nobody used it much and as far as I can tell, we were the only ones using it as heavily as we were.

Happy days for OSX and Windows, but the iOS build was still horrible because iOS was using a webkit build from before the patch.

We begged and pleaded with Apple to give us some indication of whether or when the build would be updated. wkwebview came and it was still busted.

The project ended up being closed down, in no small part due to the iOS bugs. I moved on. I have no idea to this day whether or not the iOS build has been updated or not.

With high resolution screen and 19:10 (or whatever format macbook has) you can do side-by-side work reasonably well. IDE on side, app on another.
In terms of documentation I do agree with you, although I suspect that's just due to the complexity of Facebook and its vast array of products, vs Twitter.

My bad experiences have to do with the actual API calls themselves which aren't stable and occasionally times out or errors out.

If anything I wish they would improve their API infrastructure as a whole instead of offering the improvements only on paid accounts. I can see charging for rate limits but not for system stability.
US-CERT: HIDDEN COBRA – North Korean Malicious Cyber Activity
I think "snake oil salesman" only applies if the target of the epithet is knowingly perpetrating a fraud.

You could (accurately, in my opinion) describe the things Kurzweil is selling as "snake oil" but I wouldn't describe him as a "snake oil salesman."

A whole lot of medicine practiced throughout human history has been based on ignorance, but I wouldn't describe medieval doctors (or whichever era) as "snake oil salesmen" because they believed in what they were selling.

This is a pretty important distinction, in my mind.
I played with BeOS when it was still alive, it was light, nice, and fun, and I miss these cute icons, but frankly, I simply don't see the point of reviving it now.

I'm on the same machine and i feel exactly the same way. It's been used hard for years and actually works BETTER now than when i bought it, with software updates(mountain lion was... questionable). The battery is still healthy, and it still tackles anything i throw at it.

Why would i upgrade to in many ways a crappier computer?

I'm hoping with the new mac pro we get a real macbook pro again. And i'm coming at this from the same place, i've used all different platforms. But this is the best laptop i've ever owned, and my favorite since my old T60. It was the first one that really felt like it not just checked every box, but filled out every corner.
I can't clearly describe this thought yet, but I believe life depends on an environment with many channels for releasing small amounts of entropy (and protection from destructive high energy levels). That's all we are, self-regulating reproducing entropy machines. Once life exists, it diversifies into every energy niche.

Earth has an incredibly complex entropic ecosystem - sunlight, wind, rain/flowing water, lightning, tectonic plates recycling material, radioactive material, and lots of interesting molecules... it seems inevitable that life would evolve.

The Moon? Solar radiation, and maybe some chemical reactions driven by solar radiation. No life. Mercury? Too much solar radiation, destroys anything depending on small energy deltas. Mars? Above-average entropy channels in the past, but it's pretty dead now

... is in the eye of the beholder. They exploit every corner of undefined behavior to the benefit of performance. Indeed other compilers might be "safer."

There an insane amount of stuff to be learned from failures. From my understanding, one of the main reasons behind their demise was their business plan. Version for PCs with <256RAM were free, you paid for 256+MB. However BeOS ran so efficiently that no one ever needed 256+MB so few people bought it.
Interesting, I'll have a look in to that. Thanks!
Having to use a specific point release of the compiler to work does not necessarily means later version have a bug. It could also mean that the program is (accidentally) depending on implementation details that are not guaranteed by the language, and that the compiler is supposed to be free to change behavior about. For languages like C with a significant amount of undefined behavior, that's actually quite likely.
Well, in an extremely primitive and minimal sense, the (appropriately named, especially in this case) Brainfuck language is Turing complete, providing an adequate window into hypothetically any programming tasks a programmer might wish to accomplish, even if the act of doing so would be rendered completely tedious, very abstract and highly repetitive.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck

Eight instructions to eventually accomplish all tasks involving information. In some circles, eight whopping options might be considered luxurious.
> Those of us that grew up poor or lower middle class will continue believing he grew up privileged as fuck.

And what does that mean exactly? If someone accuses him of racism then they must be right because he's too privileged to have empathy? He's too privileged to understand racism? If you grew up poor or lower middle class in a developed nation then to people living on 30 cents a day in the 3rd world you're privileged as fuck. And we're all privileged as fuck compared to people who had the misfortune of being born 1000 years ago, does that mean they're the only ones who have empathy? That doesn't make a lot of sense to me. But maybe it's because I'm privileged as fuck too.

It's true that there are no 14.1" 4:3 IPS displays but 15.4" 1400x1050 and 1600x1200 IPS displays do exist which I believe is why the modders decided to target the 15.4" T61 rather than the 14.1" T61. Unfortunately, 14.1" 4:3 ThinkPads are really the sweet spot for me as well as 12.1"/12.5" is just a bit too small and 15"+ is too large.
I'm not advocating any policy. I'm just against the echo chamber.

A50 is specifically worded as to notify an intent to leave. Intent can change, the A50 text sets nothing in stone other than the fact that barring any further intervention the exit date ends 2 years from the notification date. That's it.

I think you're discounting the fact that up to the departure date the UK is a full member with the ability to exercise its rights, including the right to change its mind, especially if the conditions merit it. We both agree that all parties must conduct the A50 process in good faith. You haven't convinced me why the option of unilateral revocation discourages good faith negotiation, or how it encourages bad faith negotiation.

Note that the legal arguments in favour of unilateral revocation specifically relate back to other EU laws, international law and the EU principle of closer union.
