It is a PDP-7 emulator that can boot the most ancient known snapshot of Unix. This is running Unix from 1969 where the compiler is 'bc' (no 'cc' yet)
then, he wrote a PDP-11 emulator in PDP-7 assembly and uses the PDP-7 to emulate a PDP-11 to boot BSD 2.9.
Not to disclaim personal responsibility on consumption, but the government subsidizes unhealthy food for everyone, not just people who are fat or on disability.

It's very easy on SNAP to fill a month's worth of groceries with packaged, processed, subsidized shit. It's not very easy on SNAP to fill a month's worth of groceries with healthy foods.
My belief is that Tim Cook's has been running Apple based mostly on inertia from Steve Jobs. As long as things worked mostly the same way, then not much needed to be changed to the formula. It's "easy" to increase revenues, when you benefit from the previous popularity of iPhones, a lot of previous revenue, and most of what you need to do involves launching the iPhone in new countries. Actually, BlackBerry benefited from a lot of these factors, too, when its revenue kept growing outside of North America, despite losing market share rapidly to the iPhone in the US.

But now that things are getting more different, such as prices becoming much higher, a possible economic downturn around the corner, mid-range phones becoming "good enough" for most people, the loss of subsidies from carriers, and so on, Tim Cook is getting a little "lost" in all of this, and doesn't know the best way forward. Worse, he may have already chosen a way forward (Apple becoming more "fashion-focus" for instance) and it may be the wrong way.
Can someone explain why raw_tail was necessary in the add_to_tail function?
Lawyers also rarely graduate with anything less than six figure debts and many are forced to live within the lifestyle/means of someone with half their salary for a decade plus because of it.
Thank you for replying, at least I have an idea of why those downvotes.
As for the 500 miles email, thank you, I didn't know that FAQ page. However, it highlights a number of issues that actually make the story seriously implausible, even if the author swears by it.

Q: If you're not 100% certain of all the details, why did you write the original post so vividly?
A: I took license. It made a better story that way. [...]
Q: the technical details at the end just don't add up.
A: I know.

But especially:

Q:Well, to start with, it can't be three milliseconds, because that would only be for the outgoing packet to arrive at its destination. You have to get a response, too, before the timeout will be aborted. Shouldn't it be six milliseconds? A:Of course. This is one of the details I skipped in the story. It seemed irrelevant, and boring, so I left it out.

Hmmm, that is quite some detail to leave out, as it just makes the story impossible. No further explanation given.

As for this story, the cream wouldn't prevent the licking, but it would solve the root cause, the dryness of the hands. Put the cream on for a few days, until the redness is gone, and that basically solves the dryness issue as well. Then the licking might restart a few days or weeks later, but that should have already shifted the focus to the state of the hand's skin rather than the licking itself.
Interesting, that does make it look compelling over the 1070.

I wish they'd stop bumping everything further up the price ladder every generation though.
How would this compare to my 980ti? It's been working pretty well for VR, but I've been wondering if maybe there's some value in upgrading soon.
Ask HN: What are the most interesting things happening right now in JavaScript?
I really hope you can bootstrap on the side, cuz that's what I'm doing and hoping for success. I am adding some extra probability for failure by tryin to do it 100% by myself. We'll see if i end up outsourcing, contracting or getting a partner, but for now, bootstrapping while being employed is proving to be a possible success for me.
I understand the business aspect that the Hollywood model is possibly incompatible with games in free software systems (i.e. "Linux"). There are other business models to make games, though.

The problems are real and I think it is natural that they are there, because the movie model is suboptimal. I see similar pains with Android device manufacturers and updates to released devices. That pain is because they are doing it wrong (i.e. not mainlining and doing things binary). That pain is a feature, not a bug. It is a constant reminder that the approach is wrong.
I wonder if low sales numbers for the new generation of Nvidia cards will negatively impact the current and future development of the ray tracking tech.
I'm an individual software contractor and I pay for a personal plan. GitHub UI and UX appeal to me more than competitors do. Also it seems that all the libraries I regularly use keep their code on GitHub, it feels like a community to me.

What's the arrangement there, does anyone know?
it's funny to think of my own finances...I have a portfolio of stock from 3 startups now that has worked out surprisingly well
This was the reason why I mostly use GitLab for several years now. I prefer to make public those code that are refactored, well crafted and documented.

I'm reminded of this article: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/22/opinion/reclaiming-jew.ht...

The reason it is "the new welfare" is that states don't pay a share, it's a purely Federal program paid for out of payroll taxes. Certain states make it very difficult to get safety net benefits, and those who do can only get them for a limited period of time. SSDI is the last stop.

Administrative law judges make judgements based on individual and regional considerations. Someone who may not meet the standard in NYC for disability may qualify in Tennessee, due to the makeup of the employment environment.

The fact that the state is so aggressive about denials is interesting, as it is probably increasing costs to the state due to increased litigation.
"Private repositories on free accounts are limited to three collaborators apiece."

So let's be clear here. If I have 10 private repos, I can have 30 collaborators? Or they must be the same three.
The closest thing to this is probably DNA origami for nanoscale structures.

Beyond that, were not quite at the place where we can compute desired phenotype -> genetic code, except for when single enzymatic reactions are all you are doing. Going bigger requires understanding the nonlinear complexities of the system in much deeper detail.
I always got unlimited repos, i have unlimited email accounts. it's just good opsec to run multiple accounts.
I'm interested in exploring VR dev, but am waiting until I have a new GPU

Don't wait. Iron out the gameplay with "low" graphics. 970 is just fine for that.
I recently had to write a bunch of custom linked list like structures in C++. Seeing how Rust adds that big heap of complicated boiler plate on top of the actual algorithms doesn't exactly make me a fan of that language.
> Rust has a very public development

I don't know how far Rust will go in adoption breadth and lifespan, but it's already clear that it's had a major impact on the community. Both personally and on HN, I've seen it drive a new cohort of people to take an interest in PL design, low-level languages and safety guarantees, and even kernel design theory. Talented people who have never previously gone in for C or C++ saw a chance to start in on those fields with Rust, to all of our benefit.

It's obvious to me that Steve (and the Rust team more generally) deserve a lot of credit for that. Their communication and community outreach have been unparalleled, and it's sparked great deal of interest and engagement that might otherwise have been missed.
It just worked out of the box with the last Fedora.
Not really. In fact in Lisp OO is the opposite, the functions are explicitly keeped away from the data.

For Alan Kay it was all about messanging but I dont think most people think about that.

Structs with some kind of dynamic dispatch based on the type would be the most general discription I think.
oh man I'm having flashbacks to one of my first jobs after school. I spent a year writing a parser for that abomination of a format. Before I left I'd build a front-end and processing queue that did X12 -> XML and several modules to output the same data in various formats and flavors to suit the taste of various insurance companies... Parsing X12 was definitely among the least enjoyable things I've ever had to do. At the time I did it for way too little pay.
You're assuming those "highly educated, creative, dynamic workforce" will stick around through the "short term" (decades?) pain rather than migrate.

Rather, as with Detroit, there's a good chance the best and brightest will take their talents where they'll be useful and well compensated.

The people with the least value and mobility will be what's left.

Being the pioneers doesn't mean they'll be the ultimate beneficiaries of it.
GitHub should publish the post today after noticing this and remove the embargo for other publications.
It's not much different than any other Nvidia card. Dual fans, dual slot, it's probably smaller than some of the monster Radeon cards AMD used to make. They make smaller versions of some chipsets but what you lose in volume you lose in cooling.
I would love to purchase a new iPhone (or Android) if they were to make a new device with a comparable form factor to the SE.

I am in complete agreement with your attitude. However, it looks like the SE isn't coming back, and I wanted an Apple Watch anyway (after wearing smartwatches since the first Pebble...or SPOT if that counts). So I gave in, bought an iPhone XS and a watch. Previous smartwatch usage told me that the phone could probably remain safely in the bag most of the day. An Apple Watch makes it stay in that bag even more, I found out. If I'm out and about without the messenger bag/man purse, the cellular keeps me in contact. So for me, at least, carrying the monstrosity is reasonably solved.

Every use case is different, so this might not be a solution for everyone. And, yes, it is ridiculous that the solution is "go spend more money" because there isn't a reasonably-sized phone available. OTOH, most of my phone looking is "who's calling? What does the wife want on SMS? What's that reminder?" which is easily taken care of on the watch. When I do need a bigger screen, it's nice to have...well, a bigger bigger screen. :-)
This is true. Whats even worse, is when you downloads some stuff on GitHub to play around and learn from, and then you get frustrated by lack of ability to build the darn thing!

What discomfort does wealth create? It enables you to make yourself uncomfortable, yes, but wealth itself will not make you uncomfortable.
From the article:

> "We eventually laid out a guide with known good versions of Linux and graphics drivers, but it didn't matter. Part of the allure of Linux is the customizability, so few actually stuck to it, and generally wanted to run the game on older hardware we didn't support."

It seems that it's because Linux users are unwilling to upgrade their hardware. From a philosophical standpoint, I agree with them, we shouldn't need to buy a new computer every 3-5 years, it's very wasteful and I am very against planned obsolescence and perceived obsolescence. That said, I can see the benefits of writing code to work on the machine you have in front of you, and not doubling your QA work by testing it on older machines that no longer even receive OS upgrades.
Apple clearly didn't think bigger form factors made sense for a while, until Samsung proved them terribly wrong.

I do agree that in this case their market research about the SE is probably solid, but I think it's a mistake to assume that their market research is always correct.
Ah, I see what you mean.

Thanks a lot for the explanation, I've never really understood how foundations work.
Don't you have the Second Amendment?...It's a lot more effective. 1000 killed doctors and the rest will be giving out disabilities like free adverts on the street.

Now that they belong to Microsoft, direct revenue is no longer as important. GitHub will probably be treated as a loss leader for the time being, with the long term goal of making it an Enterprise leader.

Microsoft will be more than happy to use GitHub for analytics, AI/ML research and to drive developers to their other offerings, especially their cloud ones.

Edit: Updated error from "lost" to "loss"
Jokes aside, I think D is it. And with the `-betterC` switch it even has replicated that C subset, but without actual legacy baggage.
I guess goodbye Gitlab. Only reason I used it was free private repos.
i was under the impression welfare was umbrella term for disability, unemployment insurance, food stamps, medicaid, and other stuff like that.

I think rconti means unemployment insurance/assistance in this case. (if anybody else is a bit confused like i was)
Ben, in his article:

> Secondly, thanks in part to the lack of information, this miss is catnip for confirmation bias: everyone has their pet theory about what Apple is doing wrong or how they will ultimately fail, and it has been striking the degree to which this revenue warning has been breezily adapted to show that said critics were right all along (never mind that many of those critics trotted out the exact same explanations in 2013 and 2016).

HN, in its comments on Ben's article:

- Apple downgraded its forecast because it needs to refresh the iPhone SE

- Apple downgraded its forecast because its phone prices are too damn high

- Apple downgraded its forecast because its phone lineup is too confusing

- Apple downgraded its forecast because iOS 12 has improved performance and postponed upgrades for another year

These confirmed biases all have a "developed market" vibe. I believe they're also meaningless in the context of last year's iPhone X launch. Apple killed their estimates last year. Everyone is forgetting this!

None of these theories address Ben's point about the lack of smartphone differentiation in China (arguably Apple's most important market), which is (IMO) a more interesting discussion and a stronger headwind to Apple's financial prospects.

I agree with Ben that the "S" designation is probably hurting the company, as it introduces 8-quarter "seasonality" into their financial projections because Chinese consumers are only buying heavily-differentiated form factors.

I disagree that consumers will always buy the flagship iOS device. Then again, this earnings report just confirms my own bias for phone pricing. :)
Only for so long - try installing qt3 on a recent Debian or Ubuntu.
Installing linux on a Mac is your problem. Macs are notoriously a huge pain when it comes to linux compatibility. Tbh even windows isn't that great on a Mac...I'd just stick to OSX on a mac.

When it came time to replace my old macbook air, I got a dell xps 13 and linux works great on that. All of the hardware works out of the box without having to do anything with drivers.

Oh yeah, "Electronic Intifada", a truly quality journalistic source that totally wouldn't tell you the Jews control America or anything.

God fucking damnit I hate these conversations. No, we don't manipulate the bloody government! We're less than 2% of the population. You know who passes all those laws "outlying" criticism of Israel, none of which have stood up in court, ever? Evangelical Christian Republicans.

Not American Jews or Israeli exiles, who, again, mostly vote Democratic and make up an insignificantly small fraction of the total population.
It really looks like they are going through with it. Up to a couple months ago I almost expected the Brexit to be cancelled.

I wonder when Britain will try to get back into the EU. It would take the swallowing of a lot of pride on the British side, but basically there is already a majority against the current Brexit conditions, pretty soon there will be a majority for remaining in the EU, period.
> it's fair to assume the worst

I, on the other hand, will upvote your comments because they add context to my own.
No, I just mean progress. We have data, we could be using it to improve. But instead, we watch other countries leapfrog us in quantifiable ways while we point fingers at each other and accuse 'the other side' of being the real problem. And we are so enamored with ourselves being special that we won't even consider ideas from other countries which have successfully dealt with similar problems. It is very frustrating. And I don't care which side politically you are on, you are only part of the problem from my perspective if you care more about winning than actually making better policy.
Ask HN: New startup, how much equity for the idea
How much equity should the originator of the idea be offered, assuming they do nothing else except conceive of the idea? Also assuming there is one other technical co-founder who does all of the development, devops, marketing, sourcing out other tasks, etc.

Isn’t it before electronics heavily started to get into the cars ?

Of course, we can view the car as a single purpose ‘move from A to B’ device, but there’s other viewpoints where the car has a performance (speed, efficiency, handling assist, smoother engine management) profile, quality of life and security features (auto cruising, speed limit detection, tire pressure detection, auto braking etc)

All of these should have evolved enough in 10 years that you get significant benefits from an upgrade.
I really hope AMD can offer some real competition to Nvidia soon, right now NVIDIA is fleecing customers because they have no real competition. $350 for a mid-tier GPU is shameful.
> Every time someone tries to prove this by doing an unbiased economic investigation, it concludes that the negative effect is either nonexistent or tiny.

That's a pretty bold assertion, not what a quick google reflects
This will be a little bit faster than the 980 Ti, as the 2060 is at the level of a GTX 1070 Ti, while the 980 Ti is bit slower than a GTX 1070. But I'd wait a generation longer, the jump is not worth it (if you don't get a great price when selling the 980 Ti).

My knowledge is that before oil as fuel, deforestation was a real and looming problem. Oil "fixed" that.

What really peevs me is the "green" sticker "save a tree" on the bathroom forced air dryers.

1. you don't need to save trees. the water used in producing paper is the problem. this is never ever advertised and really needs some attention drawn to it.

2. f' you and your lies. you, dear business owner, do not care about green. you care about not having to deal with paper trash. i could count on one hand the number of businesses that admit this on their signage. why hide it? it's perfectly good reason and no one is going to fault you for it.

3. no, air dryers are not "healthier", it is the opposite. thanks again for deceptive signage.
Algorithm for Optimizing Caffeinated Alertness
> Linux on MBP

Well there's your problem. The companies that make the custom hardware that Apple uses in their laptops refuse to release driver support for Linux for basically the same reasons as the writer of this Tweet. Whether the fault for this is on Apple or the manufacturers is up for debate, but driver compatibility with Apple's laptops and anything but macOS has always been a crapshoot and only became decent for Windows in the last few years.

Note: This is coming from an Apple fan who has been wanting to try out dual booting a Linux distro or one of the BSDs but has watched support tickets get answered with "testing MBP drivers on Linux isn't worth our time" from multiple OEMs.
Someone else has mentioned vcpkg. Another project that gets you closer to Rust or Go in this respect is conan, which I really enjoy using. It's still not as polished as other package managers (e.g. maven), but for a lot of very useful libraries, on a reasonable platform (recent OS, recent compiler) and for most important libraries (FFmpeg, boost, abseil, range-v3, the list goes on...) you can just add a single line to your conanfile with the version you want and off you go.

And remember -- a lot of the complexity comes from historical reasons AND also allow you to, e.g. run on, say an Atmel 328p or other microcontroller. So the complexity is partly from having such a wide target area.
How do you know those monks are "happier"? How can you measure something like that?

I can't even measure my own "happiness" most of the time, and it's a different part of my brain giving that report (usually full of crap and not realistic) from the part that actually experiences "happiness".
