Sorry for the late reply. The story (I'm in insurance, but no means to check for validity) is that in Europe total losses are sold for their chassis numbers and then pretty much built up from stolen parts in Eastern Europe. I had a bad run in with a likewise situation when someone crashed into my rear and the offer for the wreck was way high. That meant I had to go get a new one, since via technical total loss I could not get my own car repaired without financial risk.

Show HN: I Made a Service That Helps You Find Local Concerts
It's for Spotify users and it is called www.moreencores.com

It's kinda like Spotify's Discover Weekly playlist, with the addition that it only chooses artists playing near you soon.

So you select your city and it auto generates and refreshes a playlist every day with relevant artists playing near you in the next 7 days. After you login with Spotify it automatically shows up on your account. It uses data from Songkick and it uses Spotify's data to determine which artists show up on your playlist (it looks out for your personal favorite genres). So this playlist is very much personalized for you.

You'll get an email every Monday as well to remind you of who's on your playlist. It's a way to both discover music and to get a heads up if bands you already listening to. I would love to get some feedback on it. Right now this is just a side project, I built it as a talking point to my software engineering interviews. If people love it, who knows maybe I'll expand on it.

I've been using it in Seattle and have really enjoyed seeing both bands I love and bands I've grown to like through it.

Was curious about one thing. On the Xinu website, under "Xinu in industry" in the 2000s, it says that the pinball game for Star Wars: The Phantom Menance uses Xinu. So I looked up that pinball game.

On the wikipedia page for the game [1], it says that it uses Pinball 2000 hardware. And on the wikipedia page for Pinball 2000 [2], it uses Xina (Xina is not Apple) and not Xinu. Is there another variant of the OS?

In 1999 my team at Williams Electronics chose XINU as the O/S for the Pinball 2000 project:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rHbsCyde1g

At the time, embedded X86 boards were not really a thing yet so we needed something simple that could run with a COTS PC motherboard.

The major factor was that the licensing for other operating systems was too costly or too restrictive. Anything GPL-based was ruled out by our lawyers. Turning Linux into an RTOS would have forced us to release source code and that wasn't a fight with Legal that anyone had time for.

XINU turned out to be just what we needed. The process limit wasn't a huge problem since we were used to running threads on a single process. Adding networking later turned out to be very easy.

Glad you follow! But I'm not sure we agree yet, as there's still something puzzling when you say:

> But don't use field theory to justify convention 2, because it's mathematically incoherent

> defining that division and calling the consequent system a field when it's not a field

> a direct consequence of defining any division by 0 is that you cease to have an algebraic field

If you go back to my comment (the one you're replying to), both the functions f and g assume a field F, and they are well-defined functions on F×F\{0} and on F×F respectively. (Do you agree?) For example, F may be the field of real numbers. Forget about the word “division” for a moment: do you think there is something about the function g, that makes F not a field?

To put it differently: I agree with you that it is a direct consequence of defining a multiplicative inverse of 0 that you cease to have an algebraic field. But the only way this statement carries over when we use the word “division”, is if we already adopt Convention 1 (that “division” means the same as “multiplicative inverse”).

Again, I think you are implicitly adopting Convention 1: you're saying something like “if we adopt Convention 2, then x/y means the function g and includes the case when y=0, but [something about multiplicative inverses, implicitly invoking Convention 1], therefore there's a problem". But there's no problem!

It is not a direct consequence of defining the function g(x,y) that something ceases to be a field: it is a consequence only if you also insist on Convention 1, namely if you try to assign a multiplicative inverse to 0 (which everyone here agrees is impossible).

Let me emphasize: whether we adopt Convention 1 or Convention 2, there is no problem; we still have the same field F.

They didn't include everything, far from it. For example, lambdas were deliberately left out, despite objections from Guy Steele. Parametric polymorphism (generics) was also well known in academia at the time, since the 70's, but Gosling claimed to have not understood it.

I'm sure than there are indeed problems here, but I agree, it's weird - every time I read one of these vehemently anti-Tesla/-Musk blog articles, I can't help feeling like I'm somehow in an episode of Billions - and this is all negative publicity deliberately generated by hedge funds, or big oil, or big auto, or whoever.

It's not that I'm drinking the Musk Kool-Aid (I think/hope) - but it just feels like there have been so many relentlessly negative and apparently biased anti-Musk articles out there over the past year or so --especially related to Tesla, as they're struggling but eventually managing to up their Model 3 output-- that they're far outweighing any positively-biased content his PR machine can generate.

(That said, he doesn't always make it easy for himself...)
I guess I am struggling to get across what I mean.

I see Hickey as having a specific, focused, goal about enabling simplicity (given his specific meaning for that word) and yes I totally agree that every designer, including Hickey, does as you say.

What I was trying to get across was that I don’t see the guiding principle that guide the selection of those “best” features to include so much as “there’s this great stuff” that we must include.

Does that make more sense? Or should I put down my shovel?
Queens could also use better cross-town public transportation. It can take hours just to get to the other side of queens if you're taking public transportation. You can drive in Queens, but parking will either be hundreds of bucks a month or very time consuming.
Yeah that's true, and I've seen a number of corvid species (including crows) taking my peanuts and dropping them a few stories. They also like to soak almonds in water to soften them for chewing.

The thing is that there are ample other food sources so whatever you provide needs to be truly exceptional insofar as rewards go. And the crows might not know it's a great reward until they solve the puzzle to get it.

I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm just pessimistic.

Not sure why the downvotes. There are plenty of sites depending on PHP that ensure a steady need for PHP developers. It may not be the highest paying jobs and it may not be located in the valley, but that's still a large market.
are python devs the most curmudgeonly/conservative devs in the world? syntax is never a barrier to legibility of code because code is not meant to be parsed one character at a time (by programmers). the legibility always comes down to the semantics and abstraction. in my opinion a conciser ternary has very clear semantics and therefore is intelligible. I'm also of the opinion that it's very useful to save on things like `get(get(a, None), None)`

It's like we have a cultural or maybe even evolutionary aversion to large, powerful, monopolistic authorities. Maybe because so often they lead to human suffering.
I also think it’s interest to listen to Hickeys rationale for why things were not included in Clojure or why things are how they are. I have found his talks on language design to be very clear and rational.

He appears to have specific aims and seems unafraid to make the necessary compromises to achieve them.
Ah, good. It does force you to set up SMS, but, when I tried, I had to contact support to disable it without disabling 2FA completely.
Notably the RFC by making this a standard rather than merely the draft we all expect to become standard (which had been solid for months) removes all the overrides in the drafts that switch off e.g. downgrade detection. These overrides were needed in drafts so as to prevent craziness where a draft changes the protocol in an incompatible way and the anti-downgrade forbids using TLS 1.2 so then you're screwed.

So even though popular clients, services and libraries had the last draft for months this will, as I understand it, require a patch to do actual bona fide TLS 1.3

>Because the absolute majority of Android devices are not made by Google, just like the absolute majority of Windows devices are not made by Microsoft. What if Microsoft took away 30% of revenue from all software developers publishing on Windows Store?

And you have to paid for Windows License? Somewhere along the line someone will have to paid. Open Source isn't free.

Of course it is perfectly fine for EPIC to avoid the 30% charge. But to judge Google charging 30% as unreasonable while you are getting the ecosystem for free, and than compare the cost of console maker is just being hypocrite.

This is speaking as someone who doesn't like Google even before the first iPhone shipped.

Building your own libraries is often extremely costly and not cost effective.

Building your own frameworks usually saves some time at the beginning, but the costs usually outweigh the benefits later on.

Sorry to be pedantic, but the distinction between libraries and frameworks is important, in my opinion.
From the article:

Bethesda’s letter claims that Hupp’s sale is not protected by the First Sale Doctrine, because he is not selling the game in its original form, which would include a warranty. The letter says this lack of warranty renders the game “materially different from genuine products” that are sold through official channels.

IANAL, but it seems to me that if this argument goes through, it would render first sale doctrine useless, as you could tack on a warranty to just about any old product.
The authors didn't try very hard to solve the problem (although it's still slightly interesting).

Many networks can detect if two never-before-seen objects are the same or different. Simple example is Koch's Siamese Neural Networks[1]. More useful example is Facenet[2], which can tell if two faces are the same or different, even if never trained on these specific faces. Facenet learns an n-dimensional embedding and similarity is estimated by euclidean distance. These are cool papers by the way. The Omniglot dataset[3] used in Koch is a sort of an "inverse MNIST". Omniglot has 20 examples each of 1600 different characters, vs MNIST's 60,000 examples of 10 different characters.

I don't think that it's unreasonable to worry about that sort of news-manipulation (after all, all these negative articles are accusing Musk of doing that very thing...).

However, I tend to believe these negative articles; mainly because they tend to be from individuals knowledgeable in a particular field, while the vast majority of positive articles are fluffy and poorly researched, created by journalists who likely don't understand the nuances of the specific industries in which Tesla is claiming to be innovating.
> (Making special cases for NullPointerException or OutOfBoundsException, like some languages do, is, IMHO, a bad idea, that spreads the confusion between programming mistakes (i.e coming from the source code) and invalid runtime conditions (coming from environment). (I'm avoiding the ambiguous terms "errors" or "bugs" here)).

Actually if you check out the interviews with Java designers the checked exceptions mechanism was designed for that purpose: unchecked exceptions are for bugs that should never happen in a well written code while checked exceptions are for conditions that can happen regardless to how good is your code (e.g. i/o errors).

See: https://www.artima.com/intv/solid.html

There are of course also Errors for fatal conditions that should been be caught (actually in CLR even if you catch the exceptions will be re-raised automatically at the end of the handler).

Another interesting thing in CLR is Constrained Execution Regions that allow you to run the cleanup code reliably even when such a fatal condition is encountered (but the code to be run is limited e.g. it cannot allocate).

I'm not sure these really are particularly mysterious. The rock resonates when struck in the same way than bells do. This is true of glass, metal and some crystals obviously so it doesn't require any strange mechanism to work in rocks as long as presumably the rock has a particular consistency and shape and you can hold it in such a way that it can resonate without you clamping the vibrations.

Musical stones or rocks are known in many places around the world. Here are some examples:

Africa - http://www.namibian.org/travel/archaeology/musical-stone.htm...
UK - https://www.neatorama.com/2007/01/28/the-original-rock-music...

Stalactites often resonate beautifully when struck with a soft mallet. I've been in caves in France and in Africa where tour guides demonstrated this phenomenon.

Here's a recording of music played on a rock sculpture specifically designed to be playable like a xylophone -https://www.amazon.com/Music-Stones-Stephan-Micus/dp/B000025...

This one is pretty cool, because it explains how a particular set of musical pillars in India were constructed so they play a scale.

When compiling or video encoding I'll take a current processor. For everything else, not so much.

For speed of UI response, loading times, cursor and input latency we're at best no further forward. Quite often we're in an objectively worse situation. With a tiny few exceptions, no one cares about code or data sizes any more and that is reflected in what's delivered.

That's quite apart from the rise of web apps and the slowness that necessarily introduces.

Up till Swift 2 that was mostly the case – getting "in the way" – but as it is now I'd say Swift forces you to think about being a better developer, while still letting you be a bad one if you really insist on it.

After working exclusively in it for a while now I can't help but cringe at the practices which I see encouraged in most other languages.
That’s refreshing. Unfortunately, I have. At least in the past few decades, brutalism has been conflated with being unkind, authoritarian, or Stalinist.

I've been using it for a while. It's been the most convenient solution, and worth the price. Before that I used a 3rd party Send-To-Kindle bookmarklet, and Instapaper via Calibre in the past.

Pros:

+ QR-codes at the end of articles to go back to them

+ Clean configuration

+ Scheduled delivery

+ Reliable

Cons:

- Often misses images and, sometimes, even text from the original page. To be fair, I have found to be the problem of every web->ebook converter out there.

- It says it supports Kindle Back Issues, but they don't seem to work for Crofflr ebooks even on a top-of-the-line (Oasis) Kindle.

Matter of taste:

~ I'd prefer for every article to be in a separate book so I can read out-of-order, and delete and bookmark them separately. But the navigation interface within the single book (issue) is very nice.
