You can to an extent, because the point is that the wood retains a sufficient carrying capacity for centuries to not fall down. I'm not saying a multistory building will survive for 800 years without maintenance, but that the carrying internal structure of a church like that can survive for 800 years is a pretty good indicator that it can survive for a long time.

Curious how compatible it is with other non-Apple devices? The worst thing I've heard of is phones getting burnt out by overpowered USB-C chargers which I think is crazy and why the spec should enforce one and only one type of cable. I've been buying USB-C cables from Anker and from Belkyn that I've seen at Walmart cause they're brands I trust not to screw things up in a ridiculous way, thankfully my phones have survived both so far. I rather pay a little more if it means my phone wont get damaged.
Thanks, I confused Differential Engine and Analytical Engine, and believed the latter was a more much powerful version, but still not general-purpose. But apparently Analytical Engine is Turing-complete.

You can go to Group Policy and select the desired level of control. No problem with that whatsoever. These control points are not present in conventional UI nowadays, but they are there in Group Policies, and it's a piece of cake to tune them up to your preference.
The comment by the Product Development guy that they would have to "sell two or three Jonathans to equal the profit of a single Mac" came across as super myopic to me. This is one of those situations where you can make it up on volume, and accomplish a whole lot of greater goals along the way.

Amazon's explosive growth in cloud services, Linus' recent comments about how x86 has an advantage over ARM because developers want the server to optimally mirror the desktop environment, and the increasing need for datacenter-like hub functionality at the edge all suggest to me that this was possibly Apple's biggest missed chance to get a foothold on the server side.

Ten recent low-tech inventions that have changed the world
Anecdotally, I live near a small UK town that has some empty commercial properties. I've been told that the landlords are London-based, and the rental rates reflect London rather than local pricing. Allegedly, the landlords are keen to show that all of the properties in their portfolios could in principle attract high rates, and that to let some out cheaper would dilute the brand as perceived by investors.

Don't know how true this is, or whether it applies in Dublin, but it is one answer that I've heard when I asked the same question.

I think it's fine to be paranoid about such things, I personally wouldn't give all my data to Amazon in this way and the services terms and conditions can easily change.
This looks really promising, except for the “variety of handshake patterns from which the developer can choose”. Few details in the paper, but hopefully the choices are limited to just “we share a secret” or “use a pinned public key” or possibly “use PKI” choices. We don’t need non-specialist developers trying to decide what form of mutual authentication they should use; the library should make safe choices for the developer.

I also hope the wire protocol is strictly versioned with zero options. You want a new cipher suite, rev the whole protocol.

In my case I don't think there's much that's Windows only that I can't use on my Phone (like Office) or Tablet. The only laptop I'm keeping with Windows is my Surface Book 2, I did boot Kubuntu on it to test it out, it looked beautiful but unless Microsoft officially supports Linux on their devices I don't think I will bother, it's nice and works, so I can't complain.

The only other machine I have with Windows is a desktop I never turn off, so it updates itself when I'm not around.

I'm so happy I have a name for this concept now! I independently started using the same approach while editing my books. It looks weird, I know, but being able to move entire entire sentences using only line-oriented commands makes it worth it.

A side-benefit benefit of this approach is that any sentence that is overly verbose becomes apparent right away --- why is this line so long?? because it's a bad run-on sentence!! Fixed.

I find it ironic that Windows was long derided for being unstable and in constant need of reboots, and now they're basically deliberately reducing uptime.

Unwanted "new features" and the aspect of silently changing behaviour aside, the technology to patch files in memory and on disk without having to restart or otherwise disturb unnecessarily the entire system has been around for a very long time (and amusingly enough, malware is probably the biggest application of those techniques today); and sending only diffs instead of entire files which may be 99% the same as before would probably save a huge amount of bandwidth.

Nano has unfriendly keybindings too.

At least with emacs, you could load a key map which gives them modern keybindings and give them a print out[1]. There's a built-in CUA mode too. That way they get better syntax highlighting, indentation and backup files for free. They don't have to /learn/ emacs.

So... the opening paragraph contains two factual mistakes and one politically (but not factually) correct statement.

It's not that simple. HN readers could absorb the increase, but the poor can't.
"You are also incorrect suggesting that $5 per gallon is “about equivalent to what other rich countries tax motor fuel.” In France, it’s $2.77 per gallon. In the UK, it’s $2.83 per gallon. Netherlands is $3.5 per gallon. Sweden is $3.51. In Australia, it’s $1.12 per gallon, New Zealand is $1.58. None of those countries are even close to $5 per gallon."

This is incorrect, in the UK at least.
The best price I get is about £1.21 per liter.
Which is $1.61 per liter
Or $7.31 per Gallon.

So we are well over $5 a gallon. Don't forget the USA is pretty much the only country to measure liquid volume in gallons, we all use liters - 1L = 4.54609 Gallons
"Suppose there is a mapping from the natural numbers onto the decimals."

Infinity is a tricky subject.

There are infinite naturals, fractions and decimals but they are different kinds of infinities. If we define natural positives as N and both positive and negatives as the same infinities N * 2 (with a minus sign), we can safely say that decimals are simply all naturals multiplied by infinity N * N * N * 2 or N ^ 3 * 2 where for every single integer like 0, 1 or 2 there will be infinite decimals after the point prefixed by infinite zeroes too like .1 .01 .001 .0001 and even if N * 2 or N ^ 3 are equal to infinity (infinity because we can't measure it or at least not know its final boundary) both infinities are different.

And guessable, we're out of hell someday.

> I think anything macroscale would simple be orders of magnitude slower than what we can archieve at microscale. I don't know if there is any way out of this.

This is what I was wondering about.

A general-purpose computer, abierto how slow, is still a computer that can process huge amount of computation. Back in the 19th century, the availability of many mathematical and engineering tables was still a problem. And in 1920s, to calculate the requirements of the Afsluitdijk dam project in the Netherlands, the famed physicist Lorentz helped deriving a model from basic fluid dynamics, and it took several years to run the "computer simulation" - to calculate the differential equations in that model numerically by a team of human computers.

Lorentz said,

> The numerical calculations were so lengthy, that we came close to the ultimate limit of what can be done in this way. I myself had no part in this. I did try once or twice to set up and work out such a calculation, but then it would turn out that I had made a mistake, so that it had to be done all over again by others.

As it has been pointed out, Analytical Engine was a real possibility and unlike the Differential Engine, it was genuinely Turing-complete (I thought it was just a numerical solver, and believed Bruce Sterling's Sci-Fi was a bit exaggeration). Just imagine how the course of history would change if some military or industrial funding in the 18th century went to build such a computer instead...
What might happen is AWS might reveal "insights" or KPIs that might help its parent company Amazon, though I think it is highly unlikely since Amazon and AWS are in different businesses (as of now at least... as they converge around AI for Alexa/Robotics/Logistics, things might get interesting). It happened to 3p sellers on Amazon whose sales performance were indicators for Amazon to start AmazonBasics and other private-label offerings specifically targeted toward regions, market segments, and products with none of the downsides (survey the market, popularity index, demand forecasting, demographics) and all of the upsides (like getting preferential treatment in search result, upselling via various Amazon channels, homepage placement etc).

Yeah, well, the game changes significantly when you do. I18n is pretty easy when it’s just English and a few European languages. But it turns out that’s not particularly “international”.
I read once that all OS code callable from a process begins with a NOP instruction, allowing an update to drop in a jump to the new version of that function by replacing the NOP.

I had to wonder why given that is available, why reboots on updates are required at all.
The browser deserves equal blame. If yours doesn't give the option to disable it, know that there are ones that do.

My biggest issue with the restarts is that programs with unsaved state aren't allowed to block it. Even if I'm asleep and not using the computer, I often leave half-finished work up to continue in the morning. This works ok most of the time, but if I don't notice an update coming through it can wipe out hours of work.

In many ways, it'd be better for Windows to force a restart on a more frequent, fixed schedule to prevent bad habits from setting in.
They have a "5 less than K8S" tagline. I don't know if that means 5 fewer features, 5 fewer dependencies, or just "less than half the size".
It seems like the worst kind of optimism to think that your cozy way of life can be preserved while also saving the planet. Electric cars and trendy vegan diets aren't good enough. You should give the arguments of deep ecologists like Linkola serious consideration, not dismiss them out of hand as unsavory.

Another note: Anti-Malthusians (including a few prominent HN posters who might show up in this thread when they wake up this morning), are always quick to gleefully point out that we haven't run out of food in no small part thanks to the development of synthetic fertilizer. What they loath to mention is the ecological impact of massive population growth, and the fact that humanity has already surpassed ecosystem's carrying capacity when you consider ecological impact.

Shared libraries - dlls - are not reloadable like this. In fact they usually can't be deleted at all if they're in use, renamed at best, and that is risky if it's something that is dynamically loaded and is part of a dependency graph.

I'd expect the majority code covered by an update to be in shared libraries.
There's a hidden option to automatically reenable services after failure - uncheck it.

There are also tools that make permanently disabling Windows update a one click affair.

As an indian, I am very appreciative that Spotify has studied the indian market and priced their service accordingly. Most western companies just convert the dollar pricing to INR currency and launch their service here and it ends up being affordable to the rich only.

Is it safe to eat 3 times a day + snacks, mostly over processed, calorie dense, low micro nutrients food ?

Food is like most things, moderation/balance is key.
I have no doubt fasting can be beneficial in some cases just as I have no doubt that the typical western diet is universally bad.

This new fasting trend is just the blowback of the over abundance / over consumption of low quality food we experience pretty much everywhere in US / Europe.
You can't be sure of anything. All you can do is use multiple sources and aggregate the data.
Paranoid or not, why would I trust a potential competitor with the centralization and management of all my information?
IoT clients consume the entire device. Not necessarily the IoT server. k3s supports containerd on arm7 and provides good isolation. With efficient code you can easily support a web portal, a light weight database, and plenty of logic for IoT type needs. Seems ideal for trusting multiple 3rd parties, like say one company with your thermostat, one for your cameras, and a 3rd for your lights or similar.
You can do that even without the NOPs or any other special preparation beforehand --- API hooking is one example that's used all the time, and there's no shortage of code samples out there to do it.
