You know what's the most painful thing? If (I'd say when) years go by and Bitcoin value is a significant multiple of what it is today... Much like those who lost their wallets in 2011-2012-2013, most probably it will be haunting
Right; why have them at all? Why not log in with a UUID or something randomly generated. Use a 'password store' tool, and forget about the pointless username.

Further, do some automatic challenge-response thing between the server and yourself so you are authenticated to the server, and the server is authenticated to you. Which the current username/password scheme doesn't do at all.

Our current default state (username/password where both are human-rememberable) is failing us massively. Its arbitrary, historical and currently pointless.
Frenchkiss.js fastest 1KB internationalization lib optimized for PWA and SSR
Well the author himself said that Redis evolved and there's now better PHP client. It thus means that it wasn't actually finished and was abandoned.

In a closed environment, sure it's just finished, but the world is much bigger, not closed at all. Even the good old Instalshield required maintenance from Microsoft over their 16 bits compatibility layer.
I must disagree with you about Wiktionary. It's great.

10-Point Plan to Transform and Fund the MTA
Hyper-G was no protocol, it was a better web/www. The protocol was called HTP (Hyper Text Protocol) as far as I remember. It promised link consistency, rich clients (Amadeus was the windows browser/editor, even with VR interfaces), and support for immediate search.

But www/httpd won because it was free and it demanded no session storage on the server, only in the client. Their protocol was session-free, which enabled scaling httpd to millions. Hyper-G was better, but didn't scale that well, and the javascript rewrite was a failure.

I had to write my first webpages in Hyper-G but then eventually jumped ship and we installed our own competing linux webserver on the TU-Graz, which soon overtook the official ones in traffic and usability.
Keep an eye on Monzo and Starling Bank who offer public APIs :)
Yup. As soon as I reached “Zilog/Z80” I thought “yeah, uhm, nope”.
It is either energetically expensive or dirty. Reforming carelessly is what Germany did during WW2 to make synthetic rubber and oil from brown coal. The result is the Black Triangle due to sulphite pollution.

You can totally install Minikube on AWS [1], which removes the need for a dedicated master and drop the price to that of a single instance.

Not sure why you'd ever want to do this, given that GKE or DO will always be cheaper and AWS's core services aren't all that special, but as a thought experiment it's interesting.

Kubeadm gives you a ”core” or bare bones setup which makes it much more flexible in terms of addons and versions etc.

It’s a bit more work though, which is the trade-off, but since the last few versions kubeadm makes it really easy to spin up clusters.

Personally I opt for complete flexibility.
What happens to the residual material after incineration?
I've tried that and the result isn't as good as the ones I can get at the super market. Especially texture wise. In Greece where I live you can get an 1kg jar of yogurt for less than 3 euro. So it's not worth it the time to make your own.
Wish there were a terminal calendar program that could sync with O365.
I think the title is misleading. The article mentions ultra-processed foods and high sugar consumption. Even then, at best they can only form an association from this n=1 scenario. More likely than not, stress must have played a vital role in longevity.
Constructionism seems to be one of Kay's sticking points -- this is one of the ways children can learn best (but what about adults?)

Obviously a modern Hypercard cannot simply be a contemporary reimplementation of Hypercard, with extended APIs for the online world etc. That, in fact, exists and it's called Livecode.

What was great about the later versions of Hypercard is how they fit holistically within OS8/9. You could interface with Applescript and access key APIs in the rest of the operating system in the plain way. What really should have happened next is that many of the basic applications should have themselves been implemented in "a hypercard" For example, imagine a Finder that let you peek under the hood to see all of its scripts and, after some kind of "unlocking" allowed you to change it. You get access to a lot of the power of the OS's API for free at that point, and users can easily figure out how to script something like a "every three days move files from here to there" or something.

The switch to Unix also meant a switch to and older, more complicated, less intuitive bundle of methods for system scripting. Useful UI metaphors go away at that level and are replaced with bad and outdated metaphors, like the teletype. Leaving aside things like Applescript which have been largely left to die on the vine, personal computing operating systems seem to have regressed from the contructionist perspective.

I guess what I'm suggesting is that you cannot have a "modern hypercard" without having a different kind of operating system, which itself might require a different hardware architecture.

An ideal system would be "layered." For example, at Layer 1 you have "a hypercard" and most of the GUI, including Finder-like things, windows, basic buttons, can be manipulated easily at this level. Users can also peek. But one they reach the limits of that high level hypercard system, then can "peel back" a layer and are introduced to lower level APIs and a new language. It has access to all the same objects and APIs as the hypercard layer, but in a different way, along with more APIs that were previously invisible. You could then have a third layer that is the systems language and APIs at the lowest user accessible level -- this is where "professionals" would live, but because it would be exporable and "peel back-able," determined users could get there by example.

Something like a lisp machine at layer 3 that runs a smalltalk at layer 2 that runs "a hypercard" at layer 1 would fit the bill. But take those as analogies.

It would be diminishing returns, but you could have an overview with even less detail than you have here, and then a collection of posts that each expands on a single case. That could be a useful resource, especially if it's richly interconnected. Something like a "Choose Your Own Adventure" where you follow the symptoms or context to find out more.

Just thinking out loud - I seriously doubt it would be worth it, but it would/could be a great repository of this arcane knowledge.
Okay, serious question: how much carbon is sequestered in plastic if we toss it in a landfill? Given that there's a finite amount of oil left in the world, and that it gets more expensive as supplies dwindle, I almost wonder if using more disposable plastics helps the fight against climate change. Better to turn the carbon into a solid and bury it than burn it and put the CO2 in the atmosphere, right?
If I recall their entire argument was based on whether or not something financially worth it. And so they recommended recycling aluminum, because aluminum is worth so much. Whereas everything else loses money.

If it were true that recycling plastic were better for the environment, but was a financial loss I'd be for it. I'm not sure this is true, but the point is that purely financial considerations miss the bigger picture here.

As other HN posters have pointed out, it seems that fewer disposable plastic containers is the better path here. (really, as few as possible!)
SNI?
Not so good, I think.
Picat is fine (but no types, no native compilation), spark and ATS got better recently.
Cool! But I can't help noticing, this kind of gives lie to the OP. It claims (in the title) that starter is an heirloom. But if its changing in two or three cycles then its largely a product of the current biome, and has little or no connection with 'heirloom' versions of itself.
I like rust, and I generally like this trend of rewrites, but I will have to support systems with old grep for a long time jet.

So in cases where the new "improved" tool departs from old standard [1], it just add one more thing, that can screw you, especially if it comes over as a replacement.

grepping for settings in dot files is not exactly a corner case for me.

And setting up aliases to me it's similar. It will just mess with you on systems when you don't have them set up.

I guess it depends what you primary use case is. I can see how a developer that spends most of his time on his desktop/laptop command line would find this good default.

[1] And that it does so silently. If something fails hard or errors on the side of not filtering, its less of an issue.
The article on Semi-empirical mass formula [0] is also interesting read, especially deconstructing the formula and seeing what impact each term has (e.g. asymmetry term and the difference between the relation of number of protons to the number of neutrons).

The stated processor (Zilog/Z80) is not suitable for that and isn’t suitable for emulating such an architecture in real time or instantiating suitable virtual machines.
You can just compost that plastic too, for use with plants and bacteria that like aluminium rich soil.

What’s the network of Hetzner like? I like their offering, especially the AMD Epyc servers seem to give a great bang for the buck, but I am a bit put off by their low 99.9% network uptime guarantee.

Can you get her to wrap it all? When teaching, it's often better to get them to draw the conclusion logically, and then have them explain by working an example with you.

I find that I learn as much or more by teaching than being taught. A good teacher, then, is one who gets the student to teach. Set the stage so the next step is obvious and have them make that leap.

I'm not an expert at it either, but that's what I've noticed from my favorite teachers.
I understand the point you're making. (lawnmowers are simply a single example of a resource people do not wish to share)

But, they're also a great example: we shouldn't have lawns which add nothing to the ecosystem and require resources to maintain.

It is extremely unlikely (I actually wanted to say "never" but many people were bitten for using that word) that Python will be faster than C++.

So if the hope of being fast keeps you with Python, you choose the wrong language.
For many low-accuracy applications, just an RC oscillator is used. This sounds like a good way to reduce part count for systems that need the accuracy of a crystal - if the main IC is made by TI.
Yeah, that's what I figured, but the OP said specifically that he doesn't drink alcohol at all.
I felt like you did, and watched the video and he is certainly looking at an HTTPS data stream.

I think the argument though is that the request is being logged and that some employee is reviewing logs and grabbing data.

If that is the case, then it seems there is a known pool of suspects to charge with theft...
the whole "stop weapons development" seems a bit naive to me because these weapons will be developed no matter what. i'd just prefer for Microsoft to do it, rather than another much less scrutinised/less exposed outfit. i would like to bring everything out in the open rather than hiding it in some corner of the economy.

regarding quitting, I would assume that for any huge corp it's a mixture of staff resigning + publicity + the general "root for the underdogs". but for any other smaller and/or less public corp, I would again assume that staff resigning would count a lot more than any petition no one will see/care about.
There are much better ways to help the poor than by subsidizing trucking.
Would you know what their differences are? At first sight neither exa's nor lsd's README.md mention that (except that lsd is slightly faster according to their bench).
Windows will complain if you download and try to run an unsigned exe. While APT packages can be signed, wget|sh can't be, so it's comparatively easier for someone to trojan the website and distribute malware.
I find this to be an interesting question. Given a modern, high-performance compiling lisp implementation on a modern CPU, say SBCL on x86_64.

What modification or addition to the CPU (or wider computer architecture) would be most effective in making typical lisp programs run faster?
It seems that windmills on-site at residences are rare, rural homesteads aside. They are mostly seen at centralised wind power generation plants. On the other hand solar panels, generating electricity or heating water, are increasingly common. I imagine homeowners are reluctant to take on the burden of maintaining a windmill, and there are probably more objections to their use from people in the neighbourhood. Solar panels are fairly unobtrusive, but windmills are highly visible, and possibly audible. Unfortunately, these concerns hold more weight at the public meetings than concerns for the environment, or concerns for our unsustainable lifestyles.

Well, with multiprocessing you actually do.
Safe storage is a major problem, esp. groundwater contamination and offgassing.

This is why mines are good landfill spots - because they're already drained and protected so that they do not flood.
Business analysts are generally good at writing system requirements using BDD style syntax.

From that you construct the required model, which is then generated as code.

Getting from a model to code is pretty well covered.

Parsing the business requirements into a model whether via decision trees, or a generative adversarial network is the tricky bit.

I assume this is the technology Apple is already using in their custom silicon, and why there was that fairly recent story of a hospital where Apple devices failed in the presence of helium leaked from their MRI installation.
The Route of a Text Message, a Love Story
How does it fare in a slightly-helium-rich environment? That story about every iPhone in a hospital shutting down for a week after an MRI shutdown turned out to be due to not-quite-hermetically sealed packaging of the silicon mems resonators.
The USA, EU and Mexico apparently also managed to increase leaf area significantly without any extensive greening initiatives.

That was certainly something they talked about and focused on. But I recall that they also talked about how landfills take up such a ridiculously small amount of land, and they are so efficiently managed these days, that it's not even really an environmental issue either. I'll have to rewatch the episode, but they may have even suggested it was _better_ for the environment to throw it out, because the energy involved in recycling was actually worse.

Similarly: I have a friend who recently told me they were trying to get away from using disposable paper towels and instead use cloths. Again, this episode immediately came to mind. I couldn't help but wonder if the amount of energy, detergent, etc used in washing the reusable towels was _worse_ than simply using paper towels.

I don't know that there is any true way to definitively answer either of these questions. There's just SO MUCH involved, that you can go down a million rabbit holes (the manufacture of the washer uses X, the design required a team that required an office that was built inefficiently, etc). This is currently a premise on The Good Place: no matter how hard you try to be the best possible person, you can't control the entire pipeline of ramifications.

Right. The "thief" would have to be extremely lucky to have been intercepting the right data, recognized what the key was, and used it. As mentioned in the story, I suspect this chap found the vulnerability and is hoping to parlay it into a payout.
Wasn't there a Big Bang Theory episode where this happened?
Yes but I'm saying _don't_ add a 3rd dimension in any but the most basic sense. Just give me what is effectively a very large 2D workspace, as if I was staring at one or more nice big monitors. No fancy metaphors, no gestures - with Hololens I can still touch type and use my existing mouse.

I am a curmudgeonly luddite, obviously, but I would pay thousands of dollars just to have a multi monitor setup that required zero effort and worked on the move (to the extent that I'd be willing to go out with the equivalent of a Segway attached to my head).

If _that's_ still impossible (i.e. it's impossible to accurately and quickly orient the device in space, even in the controlled environment of my desk, or it's just not possible to display text that's nice to read on these devices) then I don't see the point of even attempting the more esoteric stuff as anything but pure research. Clearly several multi-billion dollar companies disagree, so I'm happy if all this comes to pass either way.
That's not the point of these fringe desktop environments.

If you sat someone in front of custom configured i3wm, they would not have a clue how to do anything, really. The point is that the owner can have a nice customized and highly effective experience of using a computer.

There's a way to configure wifi easily without an icon, with some text based menus and nmtui is one way to do it if you use NetworkManager. You don't need an icon/GUI. Also there's nm-applet, so you can have a tray icon and GUI even in these DEs.
Especially when the alternative was incredibly hard. Getting a simple UI running on the Mac involved using their IDE, learning a ton of Pascal, understanding the application framework, and memorizing dozens of Toolbox calls to get elements built and displayed.

HyperCard let you prototype the exact same thing in a matter of seconds.
If it is as good as the article claims, I would say more like “instantly”.

Bringing the resonator on die eliminates the crystal from the BOM, one of the pricier passive components. Also probably two capacitors are now gone, again for xtal circuits you need better caps, cheapies are not good for oscillator circuits. Plus the PCB area for the oscillator is eliminated, and that is an area of PCB that requires careful layout to meet the constraints on paracitic capacitance, etc.

CPU speeds haven't changed much in 10 years, and to be honest, I would argue that performance has been getting worse and is not a priority for many/most developers.

The client doesn't seem to care, and just sees the 5-20 second webpage load times as totally normal (at my company/industry at least). Our applications are horrifically slow, but we're still the market leaders in our segment
Apple is/was using silicon mems resonators, which is basically a fancy tuning fork on flexures cut out of silicon. This technology ("bulk acoustic wave") sounds like surface acoustic wave, but perhaps with the vibration mode being through the bulk material rather than just the surface.

Not only that, but every empty apartment contributes to pushing up the prices by being empty.

Then, when the prices hit peak value in a decade or two the investors might sell and keeping the apartment empty was more effective than renting it.
Yeah I imagine making your own yogurt in Greece would be like making your own baguette in France: You can certainly do it, but there's probably someone local who has perfected the art and is making it at scale for less money than you'd spend.
I have a repository on GitLab that contains a LaTex file each for an application letter, a CV and all my documents. In addition, I have an SQLite DB that contains past positions and a skill matrix in german and english language, and some python scripts that can convert the data into LaTeX format.

I keep the master branch up to date. Each time I apply somewhere, I branch off master and edit the files accordingly. I then generate a PDF that I can submit.

And because this is not complicated enough, I have a GitLab CI job that generates a CV from the master branch and uploads it to a private server in case somebody asks me for it.
