I'm almost in the same area as you. I have a TV and I use it very sparingly. The difference with smartphones is that the smartphone's applications are engineered to be addictive, which is not the case of TV. There's another important difference between the two: you don't carry your TV all the time with you.

I don't think it is a simple problem. Much like TODOs, everybody has their opinion about how a chat app should behave. Zulip seems fine, but it's not that unique either, there is also Twist and I can imagine that many of the other competitors do too. Note that Slack has threads too but they are different, Google Chat also has threads but they are not named.
doesnt that just imply that these scammers thought the linux userbase to be too small to be worthwhile?

the comparatively small userbase is actually an underappreciated security feature of linux ;)

Crime can absolutely produce a bad feedback loop to a community, but I would love to see more research on what causes what. We can see that countries that become a lot richer and keeps wealth inequality under control has a connection with drops in crime, like in Australia for example. However, I don't think drops in crime caused the resource boom there and I don't think Detroit's crime rate caused the Japanese and German economies to become more advanced and outperform the American auto industry.

I want to echo Grue3[1] that the tooling around common lisp is amazing; some tools I've used are better at one level of abstraction, but none are as good all up and down the levels of abstraction. Very few languages (smalltalk comes to mind) have the culture of caring about tools.

A lot of other features that are great about lisp have become mainstream in the 15 years since I learned lisp.

Or to put it another way, python feels like a slow lisp implementation with a friendlier syntax[2], a large standard library, and poor metaprogramming support[3].

1: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17617889

2: Some lispers will be annoyed by me calling python's syntax "friendlier" than lisps, but it seems to me to be true, inasmuch as this can be objective.

3: One major reason for lisp's syntax has persisted is how easy it makes metaprogramming. Once you've learned the basics of lisp, I can explain to you how Common Lisp's macro system works in under 5 minutes. The ratio of power/simplicity of it is really astounding.
I would really appreciate any recommendations or suggestions you could give!
If you worked with Go quite a bit 3-4 years ago, but have been out of scene since then... what is the best resource(s) for getting back up to speed with its current state?

I presume that the language spec itself hasn't change DRAMATICALLY over the past few years. But so much is unfamiliar in the project structure / build process area (e.g. "vendor directories", modules, dependency managament, etc).

All the tours and tutorials focus on the language syntax and standard library. Looking for a refresher or intro to the "how do you actually get work done in the best manner?" plumbing aspects.

> overly complex

Speculative execution is what makes our sequential code fast by exploiting parallel execution pipelines that would otherwise sit idle.

Avoiding this would increase complexity somewhere else, e.g. compilers would have to become even more clever or programmers would have to work harder to reduce the branches in their code. Sprinkling code with annotations to prevent speculative execution around sensitive data is of course just another way complexity does go up to let us keep the performance gains of speculation.

Airplanes are generally considered to have 3 degrees of freedom: Pitch (elevators and or ailerons), yaw (Rudder), roll(ailerons).

Speed can increase lift but so that might count, but pulling back on the stick does the same thing as moving the wheel to adjust elevator trim.
Couple notes:

- The Gutenberg bible is still a rather unique book. It used many specialized ligatures and used variations of letters to achieve a typesetting quality that's still regarded a benchmark today. In total some 300 different glyphs have been used (for a latin text).

- It took almost two decades, a lot of people and money to develop this technology. Two decades later it has spread across all of Europe. This is a typical pattern of groundbreaking inventions you can observe many times across history.

- The major improvement devised by Gutenberg was not press printing, but the movable type. Presses have been used for printing before, though not much in Europe. Similarly, printing wasn't really new, but carving one wood block for each individual page was an insane amount of work, and even beech wood (fun fact: beech is called Buche in Germany, and that's the root of the word Buch / book, both in English and German. Buchstabe (letter) is related as well.) didn't last that long.

I've read an absurd number of Internet histories. And I think one of the problems with studying the history of the Internet is that it very quickly grew up and out of the small group of people who got it started, and thus writing its history must take into account the increasing number of perspectives that chronologically track its development. Also, it can be very difficult to disambiguate the history of the Internet with that of general computing. The Internet developed and continues to develop both simultaneously influencing, and being influenced by, the development of general computing. Sometimes just reading the changelog of a particular old piece of infrastructure software(BIND, AT&T UNIX) can reveal more to you than reading about the Internet specifically.

I could throw tons of links here, but below are a couple that provide detailed accounts that people may find interesting.

That's a very interesting reply for me, thanks. Reflecting on it, actually I don't really follow the list either nowadays, due to not enough time. But I feel I kinda do know the “who's who” of the community, and thus I sometimes just glance through some threads (e.g. on HN) looking only for what did a core member of the Go team say. Recently, I repeatedly feel it's important to quickly find out who's the “important people with power” in an online tech forum. I don’t want this to sound as some kind of a critique; just trying to put down how I believe I came to the conclusion I expressed in the above comment, to try and better understand it for myself.

What’s keeping it fringe is partly that schools do childcare, domestication and ranking well and that’s way over 90% of what the average person wants out of them. If education was a large part of what people wanted out of school we’d see a lot more experimentation and variety. As it is we don’t even have skill or competency grouped classes. If there is a country in the world where grade skipping is common I have not heard of it. Maybe age based grouping is the best thing for most children most of the time but there isn’t a government education system that doesn’t use it. That isn’t a system maximising for learning.

Basic literacy and numeracy are obviously great but the way instruction is structured is ludicrously inefficient in terms of using children’s time. You can teach a nine year old to read in 50 hours. The graduates of democratic schools like Sudbury or Summerhill don’t even have classes and they do fine in life.

School looks like an institution designed to get people used to sitting down, shutting up and doing as they’re told.

> because I'm finding restaurants are increasing the price of those for whatever reason ($2.50 at some).

Soft drinks are easy money. Receive, unpack, refrigerate,sell.

A soft drink that costs $0.10 to buy in a store and sells for $2.5. That's a 2500% profit margin.

If the delivery system is not a bottled/canned productbut comes in a keg, and can deliver 50 litres instead of 330ml then the margin is higher.

Of course the expenses of electricity, storage, labor, remain, but it makes a sweeter deal for the restoranteur to employ their staff for 10% of the time with 2500% margin.

I remember watching Gordon Ramsay in many of his episodes stating that restos are/should be operating with a 25% margin.
7 Case Study Mistakes You Are Making in Your UX Portfolio
Hacker News is a welcome respite from traditional American news sources whose sole purpose today is wall-to-wall Trump coverage. Leave it to HN commenters to find a long-term thoughtful and productive point of view when a Trump story finally does make it up through the ranks.

I know when you say "brother/sister" you're talking in the abstract, but the problem is that intra-familial political divides are increasingly uncommon, I.e. Trump voters are unlikely to even be my third cousin. A recent precinct-by-precinct 2016 election map published by the NYT showed that it's likely I'd have to drive up to 30 miles to find a precinct that swung the other way, so they're not my neighbor either. Major protests, which remain one of the more productive tools of political communication because they require actual human effort, happen in large cities and end up preaching to the choir, effectively. The "Other Side" receives news of the worst elements of these protests in coverage designed to make them angry, /because that's what news coverage today is designed to do/. People read the news to get mad about something. They click on the story that's likely to have the juiciest arguments. And it's not the media's fault - yes they choose what to publish, but they have to maximize profits and therefore clicks.

I think what people don't get, or keep forgetting or whatever, is that Trump won because of the Midwest. Yes, he carried a bunch of traditional red states that were going to vote for him anyway. But he won because he convinced swaths of workers in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania that he would fight harder to keep their jobs around than his opponent. And he's basically stuck to that promise, whether or not what he's doing will actually help them in the long term, or if he even understands the basic tenets of global trade (as this article seems to insinuate he doesn't).

These are the people who are being alienated by Democrats' efforts to unseat Trump at any cost, instead of pushing their own solution to the changing economic environment. What they'll likely say in 2020 is "so he's racist and sexist- but I still have a better chance with him than you."

As much as I'm nervous about the country being run by somebody who appears to be incompetent, ego-driven and lacking long-term strategy, I'm more nervous about what the left's candidate will be in 2024. In other words, if Trump is the response to 8 years of Obama, what will the response to 8 years of Trump look like?

Not sure where this is going so I'm gonna stop.

Why I'm Using a Smart Phone

I've thought about this, but I've realized it's not the phone but specific websites/apps that can be time-consuming addictions. I have no social media accounts on my phone, so that seems to prevent a lot of the issues. I do like browsing news sites, but there's only so many times I can see the same story before I get sick of it. I do hate some of the privacy issues that come with a smart phone (certain apps I can't get rid of, I can't change to LineageOS with this phone, etc.)

However, I use the phone for learning a new language while on the bus/train. I also like getting email alerts about the bus/train (accidents, etc). My bus carrier tells you instantly where the bus is, so I can walk to another bus line if the next one is delayed. Podcasts on the phone are also great. I could do all those things with a data plan and laptop, but it's much too big. I don't actually need any of those things but they are a huge convenience for a long commute.

I try to be mindful of my phone use when out with friends. I like the fact that I don't know what's been going on in their lives via social media so then we can catch up.

Once the proof of concept is demonstrated, an interesting development is to use a robotic arm to disassemble the junk and grind it into fine dust that can be used as propellant for an electrostatic engine:

This way, a single mission can hop from orbit to orbit bringing down hundreds of targets instead of a sole suicidal mission.

Another way for serial junk cleanup is to have a number of electrodinamic tethers and attach one on each target after de-tumbling. Even a few hundred meters of conductor materials (carbon fibre) would drastically reduce time in orbit.

Biotechs are publishing less research
I left most stuff on, just disabled quest compass (arrows on minimap), gps (paths on minimap), and the question marks on the map/minimap (IMHO it's the most obviously bad setting - it changes exploration from "this looks interesting I go there" to "there's a question mark, let's see what's it about, oh just another smugglers' cache").

When I get a new quest phase I look it up on the fullscreen map and then just go there, it's playable enough. The dialogs describe places where you need to go usually, but not always well enough to get there without looking at the map at all.

I've seen people play with all ui disabled, even the health bar, but it wasn't convenient for me.

The game is very heavy on plot and characters, it has small tutorial in the castle, and then like 10 hours long bigger tutorial area before the world opens up for real, and you have to understand what's happening and who's who at least a little to enjoy it. Game introduces characters reasonably well, but there's so many of them it's easy to lose track.

Also, bonus tip - in some update few months after the premiere they added "alternative movement controls" - be sure to enable that in the settings if you play with keyboard and mouse. It's much more convenient than the default. It makes the animation of movement look less natural, but much more responsive (you can turn instantly instead of making a circle for example).
