I think a major factor is the fact that the internet is now mainstream. In the early days, you had something in common with everybody, simply by being on the internet. The place was silly with people absolutely floored by the idea that they were casually chatting with someone halfway across the continent, something only possible on very expensive phone calls until then. Everybody was also, by necessity, an early technology adopter.

It's much easier to strike up a conversation with a stranger when you have something meaningful in common, and the early internet was that. Today, it's the equivalent of walking down the street, it's just infrastructure. Infrastructure is great, but it doesn't help you make friends.

Quite the opposite. Anchoring the law in morality works like a safeguard against the dystopian scenarios. Laws can be changed overnight - but permanently altering societal views on morality takes considerably longer.

This process is still achievable (called 'perekovka' by the Soviets), but it can take whole generations, and a great deal of power.

Besides, when the law isn't anchored in commonly shared sense of morality, you'll basically have no other option but a politically oppressive system (to balance this factor out).
Well, sort of. It's more like it has implicit versioning based on a lock file.

In other systems like Cargo and NPM you have a "lock" file which specifies the exact current version of dependencies to use, e.g. if you say you depend on "foo >=1.0" and when you build your project it actually downloads "foo 1.4", this will be written to the lock file. When foo 1.5 is released, it won't be automatically upgraded even though you said it should be fine.

vgo is exactly the same. When you first add foo1 it will implicitly (via semver) assume you meant "foo >=1.0" and download the latest version - foo 1.5. That version will be written to the lock file (go.mod) and when foo 1.6 is released it won't be automatically used. Exactly the same as NPM and Cargo.

And just like NPM and Cargo you can trivially update to the latest compatible versions of your dependencies with `vgo get -u` (like `cargo update`).

It's not that different. The main differences are you can't specify maximum versions, and different major versions are treated as different packages so you can easily have them both.
To me, HN is rather anti social ( = anti forum), & prevents anything but a bunch of strangers meeting at a cafe, to discuss a piece of news for a brief moment, then leaving, to never see each other again, and being unable to message each other later.

And if you come to the cafe an hour too late, because it was night in your time zone — then it's empty already.

(Explanation: 1) At HN, if you reply to someone a bit later, s/he will never notice, because there are no reply notifications, and in his/her comments & replies list, your comment will get buried far down below other comments s/he has posted, and others' replies. And 2) if you visit a topic that is some days old, and you post a comment — no one will ever see it. Because there's no way for other people, to find the most recent comments (your comment) that have appeared since they were there the last time. Here's a way to fix that?: https://www.talkyard.io/-32/how-hacker-news-can-be-improved-... )
Tips on window management in Vim
This rings as a wrong interpretation of history.

When git became successful, there were scant few other options with a comparable feature-set regardless of speed.

Its distributed nature, ability to easily merge and rebase sets of changes, etc, were all wonderful solutions to real problems.

I'm unconvinced that its success was because it solved fewer problems than the state of the art, but rather that it solved more. This is a stark contrast to vgo which is intentionally solving fewer problems than other modern dependency management tools.

In addition, git must be performant enough to handle a git repo (namely the linux kernel, its original usecase). Beyond that, I think there's no evidence it intentionally cut features or complexity to be faster.

In the case of vgo, it cuts additional user-facing features in order to be faster, but there's 0 evidence that the speed matters, that there are any go projects in the world that cannot be solved quickly enough with an approximation of a sat solver.

Clickbaity paper title. That raised my hackles a bit.

This is basically bucket sort with machine learning thrown in. It is not O(N). O(N) has a very specific mathematical meaning, do not abuse it. It means there exists some fixed K that for every N and every input of size N, the running time is <= K*N. This algorithm does not have that property, so it is not O(N). It might be expected linear running time, but it is not O(N).

From the conclusion: "For some distributions with less smoothness, it might be difficult to learn the distribution, and if the training fails...the algorithm might fail."

Grr.
If you want a low cost, relatively low effort Hackintosh, look into running macOS on one of the lower-end ThinkPad X220 or X220 Tablet laptops that you can buy second-hand, following this guide:

http://x220.mcdonnelltech.com/

Granted, the lower-end x220 and x220 Tablet machines are nowhere near as strong as the MBP you’d typically buy.

Perhaps even an higher-end (stronger CPU, more RAM) version of the x220 or x220 Tablet might be worth it?

Another thing about this vs MBP is battery life. Apple did a really good job of optimizing MBP for battery life. You won’t get the same kind of battery life on the x220 or x220 Tablet. Also, speaking of battery, when you buy secondhand you risk getting a bad battery, so be prepared to shell out for a replacement battery.

I bought an x220 Tablet with an i5 CPU and 8 GB of RAM second-hand and put macOS on it. I also bought a compatible mini-PCIe WiFi card like the page I mentioned above suggests and switched the one that was inside for that. Switching out the WiFi card in the machine is a nice opportunity to clean the insides of the laptop of dust anyway. ThinkPads are very easy to disassemble, service and put back together, that is a big part of their appeal for me and many others.

However, I’ve only booted the system and tested it a little bit to confirm it works, because I haven’t had time to play around with it. I did have some problems with the mouse pointer or keyboard when I tested it. That problem might be because I haven’t yet installed the suggested BIOS.

So before you decide you decide to go with x220 or x220 Tablet, talk or read about what others that are using it are saying about the performance and check if anyone has experienced input problems with the keyboard and mouse and if that is simply solved by installing that BIOS.

There are some people on /r/ThinkPad that run macOS on x220 or x220 Tablet. Likewise, there are some posts about these computers on /r/hackintosh.

It's also not exactly what I was referring to.

1. What's wrong with a relationship that isn't "organic". What does that even mean exactly?
2. Same goes for "genuine".

I can see how there's degrees of 'health' to various approach, as well as ethical concerns, but I strongly disagree that the approach should by default or ideally be (primarily) 'organic' and 'romantic'.
As a Mac user disappointed with Apple's current direction with its hardware line, there are some risks with using Hackintoshes:

1. It requires considerable more work to set up and maintain a Hackintosh system than using Linux or *BSD, and it's completely unsupported. When I researched this last time, there were three sore points: (a) Upgrades between even minor point versions could sometimes mess up installations, (b) finding compatible hardware can be difficult (especially in the case of laptops), and (c) using Messages and iCloud on a Hackintosh could risk getting locked out of those accounts.

2. Installing macOS on a non-Apple product is a violation of the macOS EULA. Because of this, a Hackintosh may be a liability in professional environments.

3. Apple could make moves, intentional or unintentional, that could disrupt or even end the Hackintosh ecosystem. In the early days of Hackintoshes Intel Atom processors were supported, which resulted in people installing Hackintoshes on netbooks such as the Dell Mini 9. This ended when Apple stopped compiling support for Atom processors. A more serious showstopper would occur if Apple abandons the x86-64 in its Mac lineup. Then the Hackintosh community would be stuck with whatever is the latest version for the x86-64 architecture.

As a racer I have to wonder; do the people coding and developing these cars even know what is possible when an expert is at the controls of a car?

I'm not saying that to be reasonably safe and/or viable these cars need to be piloted at a level akin to say a Mozart on the violin or a Peart on the drums, however that level of Genius is achievable. So again I ask: do you think the brain trust behind the R&D has any inkling of precision driving on the edge of adhesion? After all, it does rain and snow out on the Boulevard.

BTW this is what a virtuoso can do in the most difficult car there is to drive, a Grand Prix car. And yeah, I loved the guy... so I picked a vid with some fluff.

Yes, this was my initial reaction as well:

Is "memory" a parameter to a variable mechanism? Does a hardcoded/fixed mechanism express "memory" of its design changes, or does it have no "memory" because of its non-parameterized operational characteristics?

As humans, we sort of consider memories to be data parameters to our flexible thinking processes.

I recently learned Migen and its been a breath of fresh air. Hardware design will always be much harder than software but using a generator like Migen makes it a lot easier.

Personally I think its hard to do anything substantial as one person using pure Verilog or VHDL.
It's his fantasy world, so who are we to judge. As a gimmick I could appreciate and would definitely notice a resume printed with a dot matrix printer on pinfeed paper using Courier. But I would recommend everyone to just stick with a nice serif typeface.
Or battery systems, like cars. "mild hybrids" only need a relatively small battery. It's a common technology on buses, for example, which do a lot of stop-and-go.

That stage is presumably a more traditional sort operation. If the first stage does a good job of estimating the correct order this could also be O(n) or as close to as makes no odds. If the set isn't modelled properly by the earlier stages it will still be O(n log n). Obviously that operation needs to be an algorithm that can take advantage of partially pre-sorted input.

The leveling and statistical stuff is so lame anyway. I feel like CS and TF, the point was to dick around and shoot people. It was cool because you bought half-life and could play these two totally different games (we referred to them as “total conversions” at the time).

The ranking stuff is all just trying to capitalize on esports, which is weird because the vast majority will never be that good anyway. It’s a big part of what makes various communities toxic rather than fun. Playing a game where winning doesn’t really matter vs. people dreaming of being paid to play video games. It’s turning something that was a fun sort of power fantasy to kill time in, into something misconstrued as a profession. (In the same way an average guy might believe Himself of the quality to play DB for the colts, without the ability to discern the obvious physical differences between himself and a guy who is 6’5”, can bench 450 pounds and run 30 miles an hour. It actively creates these sort of mean/ delusional types who are harder to laugh off than they would be in another arena.
> Forums can foster very long running discussions

This. This is the element the 'modern web' has forgotten in its rush to 'new', 'realtime' and 'current' content.

Just because a conversation happened weeks (or months, or years) ago doesn't mean it's not relevant now. Google search results appear to favour 'fresh' over 'stale'; yet it doesn't say the content is any better, or more useful to me.

Hacker news has some awesome threads and knowledgeable people, but the threads and comments are buried in the archive. Add a comment to an old thread and no one reads it or responds. Which is the HN community's loss.

Blog comments were another: I had discussions that spanned multiple years, as people found it of interest and joined in. Because I wrote for engagement, not for pageviews.

Unless people regain a sense of place in time and realise that immediate doesn't trump everything else, I don't see us going back to longer-term discussions.

I have to study that in more detail, but is there something in Berne convention that prohibits taxation of intellectual property? I mean, I have thought that a country could say that, yes, we do recognize the intellectual property, but if the intellectual property holder is not recognizing and respecting our (tax) laws, we are for sure not going to use a dime to actually enforce that IP.
Because I miss my Xserve which I used for continuous integration of iOS (iPhone OS at the time) apps.

I probably have a similar history but I've come to the belief that you should not use Bash if you're doing anything fancy or long (>10 lines).

Just use Perl, Python or Ruby. One or all of them is installed on every machine you are likely to use.

Indeed, this is exactly what scanslation groups did with manga. There was a time when manga was largely unheard of in North America. It's now massively popular. When publishers like Viz was getting started, they were licensing volumes of manga for as little as $1000 per volume -- with no royalties!!! (I happen to know this because the scanslation group I was involved with actually tried to license the manga we were subbing -- we just got stymied with the complications of printing and distribution).

I have to caution you, though, that you could get sued at any time. In some countries it's even a crime and you could go to jail. Our scanslation group was pretty under the radar and only scanslated manga that was no longer in print (the price I quoted was not for that... it was something quite a bit more popular. I just can't remember the title -- Possibly Inu Yasha... anyway, one of the big Viz titles). I am 100% certain that the Japanese publisher knew what we were doing and politely looked the other way in our case. This will not be the case for all publishers out there. You might be trying to work in their best interest, but they won't see it that way.
There was a really good chapter on his time in a biology lab in his book, "Surely you're joking Mr. Feynman". I have always remembered this quote:

When it came time for me to give my talk on the subject, I started off by drawing an outline of the cat and began to name the various muscles.

The other students in the class interrupt me: "We know all that!"

"Oh," I say, "you do? Then no wonder I can catch up with you so fast after you've had four years of biology." They had wasted all their time memorizing stuff like that, when it could be looked up in fifteen minutes.

"Once Apple moves to ARM" is still pure speculation. Steve Jobs also famously sneered at Motorola about the day he "wont need them anymore". Look how well that panned out with the G5

That answered, why do you go into BS psychological questions instead of giving actual counter-arguments?

Is this considered an easy "winning strategy" / cheap cop out from actually discussing: painting the other commenter as having some kind of psychological need / personal issue for saying what they say?

Also, they end up with a O(N*M) algorithm. They claim M is small, but it needs to be strictly smaller than logN if they want to be better than O(NlogN). A terabyte is 10^12. Thus log(N) is 12. They have 100 hidden neurons which is their M. So their algorithm isn't asymptotically faster, unless they go in N>10^100 with that amount of hidden neurons.

Some of the best experiences were posting under a handle on a local gaming site and combining being a sarcastic troll with decent contributions to the forum, as well as writing game reviews for the parent web site.

That online community fostered involvement in an RL community through holding LAN gaming events on a weekend, or hanging out with other forum members at a few bars around town. I think you're spot on that localisation is key. I'd go on the world wide web and end up talking trash with a bunch of dudes who lived at most 60km away.

Depends when you came, some folk are only just discovering online discourse.

I'm a member of 'a' forum, and it still fosters conversation. To me it feels similar to an old usenet 'channel'.

I'll admit it's not as zany and anonymous as it perhaps once felt. Back then we rather foolishly thought it was more ephemeral. I blush when glancing old posts. Such is - I guess.
I think that's what mods are for. At least back in the day that's how it worked. Of course some mods will abuse their powers and just do stupid stuff but in the end that's part of what made it so fun. You had to iterate through dozens of forums and hope that yours had a fighting chance because the mods did their job properly.

I too have experienced cyber-ennui, mindlessly half entering website addresses into my navbar. Cn-enter. Ha-enter. Fa-enter. Eng-enter. What am I even reading, I don't really care about the latest drone or how to optimize my website using Lambda and API gateway, and yet, despite keeping my IDE open so "there is no excuse", I just can't help but succumb to the mindless ether...

I've thought about this a bit and I feel like anything worth doing requires hours of my concentration, which I don't usually have. Bite sized chunks of knowledge 'productivity' feels like an accomplishment, or, at least serves as a facsimile. The internet is, in some ways, like an artificial sweetener -- it tastes sweet but never actually satisfies you.
Because Mac hardware is becoming painful and extremely expensive.

When I bought my first Macbook Pro (~2009), I could go for a low-end model, then upgrade the RAM and the disk. The same was true for the Mac Pro, the Mac Mini, and (partially) for the iMac - and all those models usually received an at-least-yearly technological update.

Now the Macbook Pro is non-serviceable, high-cost, shitty features (keyboard and touchbar) laptop; the Mac Pro hasn't been update since 2015 (if I recall correctly) and the Mac Mini since 2014, the latter has no quad core option and all those systems have limited upgradeability.

A desktop hackintosh, if created with components from tonymacx86, is simply, really, totally great. I run one of them for years, and it simply rocked - just reinstall Multibeast after each upgrade, and you're done. Major upgrades take a more little time, but they work fine.

On the contrary, laptop hackintoshes are brittle and require a lot of hand-holding and compromises.

Incidentally, I think that there's a reason for Apple not cracking down on desktop hackintosh users: they don't want to lose potential customers, when they don't offer a product for such people. Many desktop hackintosh users also own a Macbook of some sort, and they would totally buy a Mac Pro or Mac Mini if it didn't totally suck, right now.
