> since I find it pathetic to use land after I passed away

You aen't using it up. You, or your heirs, etc., just rent the plot for a while. Where I live every resident is entitled to a plot in the local churchyard for twenty years, if you, or your family, want more then you pay a fee for more years. The town has been in existence for at least two hundred years yet the size of the graveyard increases only as the population increases. My wife's ashes were buried there last year and there is room on the gravestone for my name and that of my children if they want it so it could be occupied for another hundred years. However, it is more likely that twenty years after my death the plot will be reused by another family.

This occupies about one square metre. The house I live in occupies about 900 square metres of land so I don't think my wife's ashes are occupying a disproportionate amount of space.

Don't take this as criticism, just another point of view.
A great Haskeller led to this document being made available. [1]

She didn't question whether Haskellers needed something like P6, she just implemented it and pushed Haskell to greater heights. I think that is a worthwhile point.

But I don't understand why you've introduced your point about what you perceive as the level of need for this document.

Given a non-zero number of lang X to lang Y documents, one or more of them will be the most likely needed, one or more the least likely. And given such a scenario, it'll likely seem one way to some folk and another to others. So?

[1] The first P6 compiler prototype was written by Audrey Tang. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audrey_Tang The P6 project follows several principles she established such as being optimized for fun, and a "forgiveness > permission" policy for most contributions. So someone wrote a nice doc and it's been made available.
I recall people examining the raw data of some of these games to find text strings that could explain how to solve them.

I tried that, but I wasn't sufficiently '1337 to crack the text compression scheme used by Infocom, despite several attempts at disassembling their (Apple II) parser back in the day.

Amusingly, though, because their game engine stored next to nothing in RAM and relied heavily on demand-paging the compressed text from disk, I was able to get some intriguing clues about locations, objects, and events I hadn't yet encountered by swapping one game disk for another in the middle of a session and typing LOOK. Most of the resulting output was garbage, and crashes were pretty common, but when the (radix-40, IIRC) bitstream lined up just right, the game would sometimes spew out a significant amount of decoded plaintext.
Net Collections: Getting Started with C5
I have a strange take-away from this, in that the article proposes that The Manhattan Project’s underlying goal was to model the first group of prototypes as master copies for an assembly line, and that the true cost of the project was the production line, and not the first group of weapons used to test the scientific principle and ultimately bring the war to an end.

That makes sense, especially seeing the arsenal and industry grow as it did in the wake of the war.

The thing that leaves me curious is that despite the massive spending on the space program, we never see the same assembly line, or perhaps transit system, emerge from the spending.

With the space program, it would seem that all of the effort and financing really did get consumed by each moonshot, with no investment to back it up, and formulate repeatable process and the ready facility to continiously grow the number of people in orbit, and cycle rockets through their trajectories.

The nuclear energy/weapons complex and the space program seem to be comparable endeavors, but one paved the way for sustainable operations while the other produced a series of events and little else. It doesn’t seem plausible to just wave one’s hands and say that rockets are that expensive, so what gives?
I expect they won't ask for anything crazy like that or violate the prohibition on asking for a "systemic weakness" - one of the reasons being that they want this law to be deployed as smoothly as possible to make a good case study for their 5-Eyes mates.

UWP with its XAML framework forces you to use Direct3D, there’s no way to use OpenGL efficiently - you also are forced to surrender a lot of control to the OS, for example, all Windows Store games must use Direct3D and were forced to use VSync until very recently. As a developer it means you can’t do anything cutting-edge until after both Microsoft and NVIDIA/AMD say-so and officially support some feature. This is the unfortunate consequence of UWP’s style of API sandboxing (compared to, for example, a hypervisor approach with end-user approved red-pilling). If you were Adobe it would be difficult to maintain your reputation as the leading vendor for desktop graphics and media software if you were artificially constrained by other companies who haven’t demonstrated commitment to supporting novel platforms beyond a couple of release cycles (see: WinJS, WinRT, Windows 8 XAML, etc).

Prostitution being legal is only in part about freedom. It also serves to enable law enforcement to ensure safe working conditions, sniff out human trafficking, criminals using underage sex workers and other crimes that are particular to this type of work. This would be much harder if the whole industry took place underground.

This part of the argument does not apply to the case of selling your body after death. Making it illegal to sell one's body after death seems more logical to me then.

5 things I wish I knew when I started my business
I really can't tell if this is satire or serious.

On each pirated book, the e-book "distributor" (i.e. google play) is doing nothing. They won't be doing any marketing, they won't have any distribution costs: it'll just be as if it were a less popular book than it actually is.

I'm sure the author could have set up such an arrangement for the e-book himself if he preferred it.

Bear in mind that actually running a payment page results in a whole world of pain surrounding stolen credit cards, refund requests, compatibility problems and technical support demands. If you enjoy the writing, you probably don't want to be doing that.
Explanation of why there is lag when watching video and listening over Bluetooth and how it is taken care of:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYW4J6FyyZU

To ensure (kind of) that your BT speaker/headphones will be able to work with video, check they implement "AptX low latency".

However, as they mention in the video, there are lots of ways this could fail: application playback issue, BT transmitter issue (although anything from the last few years should be able to handle this properly) or receiver issue (the most likely cause in older or cheap speakers).

Show HN: Crudcast – Create and Deploy a RESTful API with a Few Lines of YAML
I just created this simple library for creating a RESTful API from a yaml file with just a few lines of text: https://github.com/chris104957/crudcast

As a full stack developer, I regularly need to build simple REST APIs quickly in order to build a web app prototype.

This library allows me to do this with just a few lines of code, and I am sharing it here in case its of use to anybody else.

Effectively, this library turns a yaml file into a Flask RESTful API and implements documentation via swagger.

It's very basic right now, and still not yet documented, but I'm planning to add additional feature such as user management, permissions and the ability to insert your own code.

Thanks, Chris

It'd be interesting to see a cost comparison to the USSR's program around the same time, leading up to the development of the first Soviet nuclear bomb.
The government program rockets aren't designed to be cost efficient, they're designed to buy as many votes as possible. To do that, they spread everything out a thin as possible, all the work across as many states as possible so that the elected officials from each of those states will vote for it.

This is why SpaceX, with their single factory, are something like an order of magnitude cheaper.
Depends on the situation, if the company is u profitable and near bankcrupty I think not many want to be the replacement ceo...
I doubt that, since his distributor is Google Play. It's not a standard term on e-book platforms and I can't see why any author would go for exclusivity on Google Play.
This development has parallels to tuning parameters in the Montecarlo world, specifically using HCMC+NUTS one does not have to worry about finding the complete distribution and you get warned when the distribution is misbehaved[0].

a: I had a similar issue on my Sandisk player and it was due to corrupt data on the SD. Formatting it then copying back the files from a backup solved the problem. the author's problem is different though; it seems his player doesn't like some files although they appear to be undamaged. I agree it's probably a bug in the decoder.

b: a voltage divider would attenuate everything so the listener would end up raising the volume and the noise explosions would be unaffected. In my experience those noises are much louder than the music even at its louder peak, so a limiter would work better. A limiter is a circuit which let the audio signal unaffected up to a given level, then if necessary it starts limiting it to keep it to maximum that level. The limiter should be set up to trigger only with levels above the maximum original audio signal, so that although the noises wouldn't disappear, they would be confined to a lower level with the original signal left untouched.
It's hard now because we don't know how to do it well. In the future, we'll learn, then it will be easy. History tells us this.
The Apple premium has gone so damn high though.

I got my first Mac when the Mac mini came up. It was a little more expensive than same-generation PCs but besides being OSX it was a PowerPC that never made any fan noise, and was small. I've subsequently had three Macbooks and two iPhones - but I can't afford this somewhat-better-somewhat-more-expensive racket anymore. Prices have risen too much; to boot, the quality gulf between Macs and garden-variety Dells and Acers has pretty much crashed. Macbooks have had multiple problematic years now; iPhones did away with headphone jacks; and OSX peaked at 10.6.8, where it indeed was five years into the future - but Windows 10 is decent now and even has the whole Unix toolkit with WSL.

This is fine if you're "stuck in your ways" (I want to use a less loaded term but can't come up with one) and have a collection of music you enjoy and have stopped keeping up.

It's not even keeping up with current music; as I go from my early to my late 30s, the pop landscape has gone from parseable to alien. But there's still good music coming out and older good music you didn't know about. Hell, I only discovered the gigantic German composer Paul Hindemith six months ago.

Suffering from chronic pain myself, I had two main thoughts when reading this:

1) "the realization that my life has changed for the worse in irreversible ways" - This is a dangerous perspective. Yes, life has changed, but if you focus on 'for the worse', you step onto a path that leads to depression in 90% of chronic pain patients. I instead focus on what I still can do. I might never be an athlete again, but I can walk. I can take short hikes in the mountains. I've changed my hobbies from an active collection of martial arts, biking, and hiking, into more sedate things like painting and woodworking. I celebrate staying active for half a day instead of dwelling on the fact that I used to be able to move all day. Much of your ability to adapt to chronic pain is mental, not physical, and this is exactly why CBT is recommended as a therapy - to help you to frame your life in positive, productive behaviors that keep you going in the right direction.

2) Everyone's pain is different. There is no single answer for how people deal with it (or fail to deal with it). This post sounded to me less like someone trying to communicate with their audience, and more like someone thinking it through for themselves. So while I had mixed reactions to the details of it all, I think the act of having put it together is likely a healthy move, so I appreciate the effort to have done so.

> Android is free software in the sense that you can make and distribute modified versions.

I don't think that's enough to make it free software, and "free software in the sense..." is nonsensical. Free software would guarantee the continuance of that freedom. Since that guarantee doesn't exist, Google could place limitations on the Play Store at any time. The fact that they haven't makes the example less clear, but it doesn't make Android free software. Even Google doesn't claim that it is.
