Having a bitmapped screen was already a huge improvement over character based graphics so I guess that everybody that could get it did so and took the lower resolution letters in stride.

I'm trying to remember how much we squeezed out of a Dragon32 'high resolution' mode, 256x192 pixels, I think it was 64 characters by 27 lines or so at 4x7 (that's really not the nicest font). Hard to read but the increased linecount made it worth it and eventually you got used to it.

Before that it felt like looking at your code through a keyhole.

My first 'decent' screen was an Atari ST at 640x400. That was such a huge step up. And after that ever improving Tseng cards in a 286 based PC, that's when 132 colums became workable.

Funniest thing though, for a long time I thought there never would be enough characters on a screen and now my eyes have gone so far backwards that I have to use a 32" screen with huge fonts to get anything done at all. I'll probably end at a 4x7 font again but with pixels the size of lego bricks.
It should be a DELETE imho or a PATCH.
Reminds me of some desktop toys that could have various creatures drop in from the top of the screen and climb around on the various window edges. Largely inspired by the Lemmings series of games.
I tried it at F8 today. The experience is EXACTLY like Daydream. Take that for what you will.
It depends but I don't really view that as full on cheating then. It'd be nice for them to actually write a bit of it (otherwise, they're going to have a tough time writing papers once they're out of grad school) but the actually bulk of work is the real thing.

Also, you can't cheat on a defense. If you can, then your Ph.D is worthless and the institution you got it from is near worthless.

Reread learc83's comment and it's really true. You can't just turn in your thesis. Moreover, you have to defend it, and your committee will tear into it even on the minutiae (happened during my defense) so it doesn't matter how well you know it if it isn't your work because if it isn't your work, you won't be able to defend it. The only conclusion I can see is they are crap profs/schools but that doesn't square with the "famous people on committee" bit.
This is the best FAQ I have ever read - http://www.interdb.jp/pg/faq.html
If that's true then (1) they're lying and (2) that's not covering it because just a few website visits later they could re-associate your old data with your 'clean' profile because it doesn't take all that many bits to de-anonymize a chunk of data.
> But she is the present of female skating

Why? This feels like ageism. It's not like skateboarders start to fade away as soon as they hit 20-25 anymore (especially street). The culture evolves with better emphasis into physical training[0], warming up, stretching, healthy food, and less binging/smoking/whatever, and from Rodney Mullen[3] to Andrew Reynolds and especially Neen Williams[4] they promote healthier lifestyles and keep pushing at it well past their "prime". Relevancy doesn't stop when someone younger lands a better trick than the previous guy/gal.

Also, Nora's the future because she's a beacon that people can look up to, and the community's reaction and actions† also help set the tone for a more inclusive culture.

Anecdata: at our local spot the number of girls that show some interest in skateboarding seems to be increasing lately, and when we show them role models like Nora, but also Lacey Baker[1] and Leticia Bufoni[2], they're like "wow, I can do this, I can fit in this community".

> and the boys have some catching up to do

Personal pet peeve: I don't like that, as discrimination only stops when we stop talking about it, and this just fosters an "us vs them" attitude, even if jokingly so.

It seems like she meant to say that it is wrong not to give that credit, i.e. it is not just a good practice, not only a moral obligation that you become only immoral for not complying, but a requirement, a must that if you do not do it, then you are in the wrong.

Well, GDPR makes forces them to make the tracking features opt in, so they have to collectively convince EU users to turn on the tracking as opposed to hoping the people won't disable it.

They do this through a few devious practices, such as the spin doctoring discussed here. One other thing that they do is instead of the option being a check box, it is a selection between two radio buttons and you explicitly have to choose one of them. I suppose this is actually a violation of the GDPR, since it should be disabled by default.

You don't lose value from facebook at all by not opting in. "Show ads that are relevant to me," is an arrogant statement. The actual statement is "Track my browsing to show ads that Facebook believes are relevant to me." I don't use Facebook for the targeted ads, I use it to infrequently receive news about people I know spread out across the globe.

I didn't check much so I ask here. What about :

- scrolling quality (I appreciated C64 for its 50/60fps scrollings, but in my experience, emulators screw that)

- graphics quality (usually, once on digital screen, all the NTSC/PAL artefacts disappears, making the graphics quite different from an original C64)

Many non-tech sector organisations are spending incredible amounts of money on data investments. While working as a consultant and employee of global organisations, I felt those investments are going nowhere. Management invests in sleek presentations full of buzzwords and without substance. I have recently started a new management consulting company focused on rebooting the practice of management for the digital age. We decided to tackle data investment as a first topic. This whitepaper is written for non-tech sector audience but we would love feedback from the HN community.

Upon reflection, he made some mistakes.

But I really don't get why Microsoft didn't get that his business is about waste reduction, and cut him slack. And indeed, why Microsoft didn't just grant him a license for them. Or even, donate thousands of genuine restore disks to his business. It would have cost them virtually nothing. Almost certainly, less than they're paying PR flacks to explain it all away.

Thanks for sharing, and for pointing out that it's ultimately about self-improvement. I'd upvote you more if I could.
It's not clear for me, if you confuse the compose/swarm development progress (which is like your ideals) and kubernetes (which afaik always was over-engineered to begin with).

Kubernetes has the huge day-1 problem, that it doesn't solve all of your problems. The hard stuff like networking and distributed storage are hook-in APIs. That's fine on Google's cloud where all the other stuff is there and was developed with these interfaces in mind, so all the endpoints are there. But most companies don't work in GCP/AWS alone. The moment you come on-premise you see that kubernetes only does 25% of what it needs to do to get the job done.

So, oyu have this tool who already lacks 75% in its original design and it tries to overcome this by adding more stuff. Then you combine this with a prematurely hyped community who just adds more stuff to solve problems that are solved, that don't need to get solved or that aren't problems, just to get their own names and logos into what's out there.

These two are patterns that make it very clear that it is impossible for Kubernetes to ever become a lean, developer friendly tool. But it's a great environment to make money already, I can tell you. And I think maybe that was the main goal from the beginning.
It's not a fascination, it's a defense mechanism that's been built up over time. Skateboarding has a strong culture, and various brands throughout the decades have tried to use skateboarding in their marketing without bothering to research that culture. Look at Nike and Adidas. They tried to break into skateboarding many times in the past and always failed, until recently. The difference is this time they ingrained the cultural aspects into the brand.

As for posers, skateboarding historically has gone through waves of popularity. It's cool, then it's not, then it is again. The people that skated during the time where it was uncool are obviously going to be defensive when all of a sudden it's cool again and there's a large influx of people who have no regard for the culture.

I'm personally for inclusion, but I also think that if there wasn't some degree of "gatekeeping" then the cultural side of skating would have been diluted long ago. And perhaps as a result of that the sport wouldn't have survived the periods where it was seen as something that only freaks and geeks did.
For example, Article 17(1) lays out the MANY grounds upon which a Data Subject can request erasure. If ONE of the mentioned criteria is met including the very broad Right to Object (Article 21) then it must be erased.

Yes, but crucially, if the data is still relevant and you're processing it on a proper basis, the data subject doesn't necessarily have a right to have it erased.

If your only legal basis for processing is consent, subjects get most of the rights under the GDPR automatically and you have very little choice about complying. One of the big changes in the new regime is that consent can be withdrawn retrospectively.

If your basis is legitimate interests, things are more complicated. Subject rights are stronger in this situation than with some of the other legal bases, because they can object to processing. However, the right to object is itself subject to balancing tests that aren't clearly defined, except in the specific case of direct marketing.

For the stronger bases, such as performance of a contract or compliance with legal obligations, subject rights are still quite limited even under the GDPR. For example, under EU VAT rules, we are required by law to keep evidence of where our customers are located for quite a long time, and customers can't require us to delete that evidence prematurely.

There are some other important details to be considered, for example if you're processing data about children, but that seems to be the basic situation.

Got one of those emails for a site I manage around the same time as mentioned on reddit for a WordPress account that is only connected to WordPress jetpack. The site is self hosted, everything is up to date.

I do not use the email address / account mentioned at the site itself. Oh and DKIM / SPF on the email both pass so it was indeed send from WordPress. The mentioned WordPress account is indeed connected to JetPack.
JIT vs AOT is an implementation detail, nothing to do with a programming language as such, unless we are speaking about dynamic languages, traditionally very hard to AOT.

In fact C# always supported AOT compilation, just that Microsoft never bothered to actually optimize the generated code, as NGEN usage scenario is fast startup with dynamic linking for desktop applications.

While on Midori, Singularity, Windows 8.x Store, and now .NET Native, C# is always AOT compiled to native code, using static linking in some cases.

As for GC, C# always offered a few ways to avoid allocations, it is a matter for developers to actually learn to use the tools at their disposal.

With C# 7.x language features and the new Span related classes, it is even easier to avoid triggering the GC in high performance paths.

One big advantage that facebook will leverage is that they don't WANT you to keep coming back for more dating. They 'll have you on the platform anyway, so they might as well give you the best quality matches from the get-go (plus they do have some of the best AI, so dating might even stop existing as a thing in a few years)
Why wouldn't they do this on their own? Keeping their reputation good with all countries(even the oppressive one's) is an important part of business. After all, amazon has stakeholders to answer to.

I usually try to find out what passions the other person has. If somebody is passionate about something (no matter what), then they have experienced depth in that topic. I want that depth; it is the underlying treasure of this world. That's why I will steer the conversation in that direction. If somebody I talk to wants to have a shallow pretentious chat, we can safely depart after 3 minutes, him thinking: "ok, that's one of the weird ones, that doesn't believe in the value of a high society chat". I celebrate being different and open-minded and non-elitist (in the sense that I don't feel that I'm better than anybody else) and all my close friends do too.

You probably have a reason for liking those Japanese bands. They excite you somehow. Find out why. If you can articulate it, then people will be able to understand your passion.
<< That's the whole point. Unless you are a direct descendant of native Americans, you too are a guest of theirs, regardless of whether you are a first generation immigrant, or the grandchild of one. But strangely, nobody is in much of a hurry to ask for native opinions on immigration policy.

That's an utterly fallacious argument and you know it. We're talking about current US immigration policy, not the history of the US, which no one is in a position to change. Your attempt to reframe this debate by painting all US citizens who are not the descendants of indigenous peoples as 'guests' only weakens your arguments because it is crystal clear that you're using US history as a straw man. Whether you like it or not, US citizens cannot be guests in the US, not legally nor otherwise.

Furthermore, this discussion isn't even framed around 'native' vs 'descended from people from elsewhere'. This discussion is about US citizens (people with US passports who can vote in US elections) and foreign nationals here in the US as guest workers. Start a different discussion if you want to debate the history of immigration to the US.

<< I am here under the same set of rules as any native born settler - which accurately describes most Americans - is. Maybe even more legally, given that immigration control is historically, a relatively recent phenomena. (At least, with respect to 'white' people. Let's not talk about the incredibly racist history of that institution.)

Your attempt to shift the discussion to various aspects of US history shows that you're apparently not willing to debate H1-B on its merits. As noted above, we define US citizens as people who hold US passports and who can vote in US elections. Immigration control is also not a recent phenomenon. People have been engaging in various forms of immigration control for thousands and thousands of years.

<< There's a certain oddity to having a country founded on immigration, without the consent of the native inhabitants, setting up rules for who can immigrate to it (which many Americans' ancestors would probably not have been able to meet), and then pooh-poohing someone who has met said rules for legally being here. It's a tad hypocritical.

This is talking out of both sides of your mouth. If you really believe the US was founded without the consent of the natives, then why are you here participating in a system that you describe as racist with its origins in colonization?

You either truly believe these things about the US and participate anyway (thereby nominating yourself for the hypocrisy prize) or you don't believe it, which means you're presenting baseless arguments that you don't believe.

You can't have it both ways.
literally the whole point of the article was that this isn't true any more
> P.S. Why do you think Mozilla doesn’t use Rust for their DOM tree implementation, and instead relies on the JavaScript runtime and it’s GC? Don’t you think sometimes other people might also want DOM-like structures in their apps, be it for a web page, XML document, objects hierarchy in 3D space, or any other kind of data?

Nothing prevents you from writing a DOM tree in Rust, but when in comes to the Web DOM you need to interact with JavaScript and with the JS GC no matter what you do. How is DOM managed in other browsers written in C++ ? I would be surprised if it wasn't also handled by the JavaScript runtime.
Pretty silly. If you can network, you have access to at least 3 decent sources of entropy. (Network traffic, hardware clock randomness and network device clock. Potentially power supply monitoring and bus clocks. And finally thermal sources.) And then you can always bake in the key into flash.

The problem here is that you would have to probe RNG stats manually as it returned readiness too early.
