I was around, too, and I don't think that was at all the full story. Marketing has never been solely responsible for the long-term success of any product. There were other languages that were very heavily marketed: VB and C++ (and FoxPro, too, I think) by Microsoft, Delphi, and about a million other RAD tools. Being free was one of the reasons, but so was targeting the web, and Gosling's design of wrapping a JVM that gave people what they wanted (dynamic linking, fast compilation, garbage collection) wrapped in a language that felt familiar and non-threatening. I don't remember what were Delphi's issues, but a big project I wasn't involved with at the same organization I was working at circa 2002 (I was all C++ back then) did Java on the server and Delphi on the client. Maybe Delphi didn't have a good server-side story?
It's still a rather aggressive take on the GDPR. The GDPR has nothing to do with taxation and would be a terrible system of taxation. GDPR is about protecting data. If it was just about taxing big US tech companies, why would they target their own businesses? They could have easily have carved out exceptions for that.

The whole tax haven schemes are being addressed through other measures, including the proposed per transaction taxes in lieu of income taxes.
So did everyone in the 60s and at other periods. The world changes, but it’s no revolution. I’ll believe it when I see it, I remain cautiously optimistic but have my doubts as to whether the ‘millennials’ will be able to pry themselves away from their self interest for long enough

> Patreon CEO Jack Conte said in an interview with CNBC, that the platform will soon be facing the challenge of maintaining a profitable model as the company continues its growth.

"growth" -- for a company that is nothing more than an intermediary with a well-established platform. What do they need to grow for? If anything, it's time for some cuts actually.

I haven't tried running it on real hardware yet, I'm too comfortable with my VM-based workflow at the moment. It'll eventually get there though, but I'm not in a hurry. :)

The answer is basically the same for 64-bit and SMP support. Some day I'll wake up with the burning desire to implement those things, and then I'll start on it. Or someone will show up with patches. We'll see! Nothing really depends on those features, although they would certainly be huge improvements to the architecture.

Yeah we still need patches for binutils and GCC. Any custom operating system does, you can see the patches here:
https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/tree/master/Toolchain...

It's all about setting up the executable formats, providing the system names, and telling the compiler how we like things linked, etc.

There's no FAQ but maybe I should compile one..
Apart from obvious privacy concerns, I started getting much more interesting ads on sites that respect my settings. One time I found an ad for a poem this way.

I think all things considered, today Chromium is probably 90% Google engineering. There is almost no Khtml code left and big chunks of webkit code are heavily modified and rewritten. Also, rendering engine is not the browser.

> Consensus as in agreement

That's ill defined if you get to pick and choose whom you consider in the pool to establish "they're is no consensus amongst even Indian commentators". This seems more opinion than fact.

Even for the issue of smoking causes cancer I can easily constitute a pool who will contest that there isn't a convincing body of evidence that categorically shows that smoking causes cancer (not that I agree with a view).

The Britain and its sphere of influence has a skin in the game to deny that intentional harm was done.

> Referring to it as a deliberate killing millions of people to win the war is just plain wrong

Its not by magic that food disappeared from Bengal and ended up were the British wanted it. It was not a case of accidental misplacement of car keys. That qualifies for 'deliberate". They also weren't unaware of the famine related deaths, that came up in the British parliament multiple times. I am not sure which part of "deliberate killing millions" you are contesting.

That is opinion. Churchill's benchmark was if Gandhi was still alive it couldn't possibly a famine. That speaks for the general British position then.
Love seeing a Lisp Cookbook pop up on HN.

Had a general question about CL. What advantages does it have over things like Racket and Chicken? And how could I potentially pitch the language to a non-dev?
They're not talking about combustion-type burning. How hard do you think it is to burn (as in tissue burn) the cells on the surface of the retina, given that there is a lens focusing light onto the retina?
More transistors require more energy. GPUs are already at 300W. Doubling the number of transistors means double the power consumption which means 600W. Smaller transistors are more energy efficient but they can't reduce the energy needed per doubling by 50%. Therefore you end up with a 400W GPU. That's still too high. Energy efficiency is now far more important than raw transistor count.

You’ve said unfair twice now. What specifically is unfair about a culture that I experience as “where what works for you; we care what you can do not what you wear.”

If you start in tech on Monday, you’ll know by Tuesday what people wear and by next Friday you’ll probably have enough giveaways to never need to buy a t-shirt or hoodie again.
I have a single vest which is solemnly used in spring/autumn while it’s too cold for only a suit jacket but not too cold to carry a winter jacket or similar. As the vest is significantly more lightweight and smaller it’s worth it if you are on travel (think airplanes or public transport).
Given that almost nobody in the UK has any form of ID on them at any given time, and certainly nothing a restaurant can verify, it seems this as an entrance policy may be hurting the restaurant's business. Where was it? I've never been asked this. Did you consider reporting them to the police? If not, why not?
so you install dstat in /usr/bin/dstat + /usr/share/dstat (because you are root), and an attacker creates /home/eve/bin/dstat with /home/eve/share/dstat/evil.py. why would you run /home/eve/bin/dstat? if eve can get you to run dstat from here ~/bin, why wouldn't she just have ~/bin/dstat with completely different contents?

i'm still convinced this is cargocult security.
I am seeing this trend of asking or indicating one's preferred pronoun more and more.

I find asking people how they would like to be referred to as a really positive thing and I fail to see any downside for this trend.

As Social VR Grows, Users Are the Ones Building Its Worlds
What was banned is using them on sidewalks and leaving them in non-designated spaces. Using an electric scooter on a biking lane is completely fine, and you can also operate a scooter-sharing company if you can agree with the city on designated spaces (that are being built now).
Possible options:

1. Some of mercurial's bundled plugins are not Py3 compatible (I recall reading a discussion as an outsider a while back that some plugins are planned to be ported to Rust, not Python 3, but that may have changed)
2. Nobody involved in packaging it for Arch has had time to verify mercurial 5 on python 3.
Cascading corporatization (companies owned by companies owned by funds, owned by shareholders owned by other entities) breaks all sorts of things. Governance is a big one. The idea of "shareholder ownership" is fairly theoretical, in most cases.. both the concept of "shareholder" and "ownership" need a lot of qualification.

"6 people own a share of a bookshop" isn't really an analogy.
I used to work for a german web hosting company and they were able to charge double for the same service in Germany vs Spain, the only reason being germans like to buy german products.
10 years is probably a realistic mean. If you have experience with music, creative software and doesn't expect a finished product then it can take a shorter time of course. Teenage engineering were founded by marketers, they are selling dreams.

> heredity and skin color most definitely has something to do with the japanese ethnicity.

Only to racists. Just as being Jewish is an ethnicity (as well as a religion), you don't have to be white or have Jewish parents to be of Jewish ethnicity.

More and more Japanese Nationals with mixed race are born all the time, and raised completely in Japan and only speak Japanese, yet would "pass as white."

And when they're famous and appear in the media, they are considered by most of the Japanese audience to be ethnically Japanese.

On the other hand, there are quite a few Japanese-Americans whose parents are both racially "100%" Japanese, yet because they speak awful or nonexistent Japanese and or "act American" or "have American values", are not considered to be ethnically Japanese.
The bias is caused by a glut of junior developers who don't have the experience to feel comfortable using more than one language.

It's one of those ideas that sounds good until you realise the single-language stack you've chosen is based on JavaScript, Node and npm.
Cool! Thanks for sharing! I have heard that some banks interconnect directly with IMS but I have no source for that.
> The whole situation about state management is... lacking. Experience says the one thing no client ever wants in the cloud but always on prem is state.

Hm, can you elaborate? S3 state seems perfectly serviceable, and I don't immediately see why I would want to operate on-prem resources just to maintain state.
> Why not create a system that is fair at the core, something like "your passport countries' democracy score, worker rights, environmental protection standards and human rights need to be in the same range as the country you want to work at".

Arch doesn't promise support. Red Hat does. If software in Arch is unsupported in the near future but currently works, that's less of a problem than software in RHEL becoming definitely unsupported during the release lifetime.
The process to reset the brake can easily take 30 minutes or more, delaying 20,000 people or more (all people on the train, plus the trains behind, and the trains which can't start their journey because they're stuck in the wrong place, and the trains which have to be cancelled because it's now the end of the drivers shift).

The real solution is to practice till the time to reset an emergency brake is 1 minute or less. It should be simple - someone in a control room checks all CCTV cameras to see the situation, and presses a button to restart the train.

TFL's cameras mostly aren't digital and can't be watched remotely, so they're miles off ever being able to do this.
I worked in offices where workers can set the ac temperature. At least half the people are always unhappy and the temperature becomes on of the main discussion points. If they're set centrally, at least everyone can complain together instead of complaining about each other.
This is a game changer for people like me, who do a lot of open source work, but might not have the pockets to sustainably continue putting in so many hours each week (i.e. students).
Oh. So, some people were annoyed by an effort to help prevent armageddon? And you think this reflects badly on those sending out the annoying emails? Huh. I dont know what to say to you... I'm sorry that global catastrophe and the unsolicited emails that it generates are such an inconvenience to you and your friends?
> Russel Barkley

Some of his claims are questionable. AFAIR he claims that:

- ADHD has no advantages

- ADHD has a negative effect on working memory

- ADHD has no negative effect on intelligence

Since working memory is a factor in intelligence, one of these statements must be false.

His political views are also interesting.

> Barkley is a right-wing libertarian. He deeply believes in "Limited government, individual rights, freedom of speech and association, and the nonaggression principle (no one, including the government, has a right to initiate force or fraud against another), and private property rights". He has attacked "the leftist, social democratic or socialist leanings of Facebook's founder and most mainstream media outlets".[35]

I'm not mentioning this to discredit him or because I think you should judge a psychologists by his political views. But I've always associated these views with the assumption that poor people are generally poor not because they don't have the skills, self-discipline etc. needed to be successful but because they are lazy and thus don't deserve welfare. If Barkley, an ADHD researcher, actually believes that he's very good at tolerating cognitive dissonance.
>As a parisian who stayed in SF for a month last year, i can tell you SF is way better for pedestrians than Paris, without any question (except for the hills of course).

As a European that has visited both Paris and SF multiple times, Paris wins hands down...

Modern Paris has its problems, but for a pedestrian there's no comparison with SF.

(And let's not even get into the huge homeless/etc problem in SF)
"which is a full release of the OS on the cheap"

It's a $900/year subscription if you go the legit route, and not "approved" to use with Hercules. You're supposed to pay ~$4k for zPDT to be fully legit. Thus, most hobbyist use is pirated torrents of ADCD on Hercules.

It was removed because it wasn't going to generate enough power without cranking it constantly. And the ergonomics weren't great for kids.
They did end up making an add-on crank at one point, but I don't think it ever was widely distributed
Actually, yes they did. The use of /sbin/init was something that came up during the Debian Hoo-Hah. The conclusion was that it should be a symbolic link, and that there should be distinct packages providing that link and providing the real executable program image file that it points to.

That doesn't reflect reality at all.
I bet this will backfire. ARM isn't exactly known for building fast CPUs, therefore there is a lot of room for a slightly worse but cheaper competitor that designs the SoCs in China from start to finish.
I wonder if the laser emitters were mostly meant to effect the crew or if they were aimed at overloading whatever optical targeting sensors the planes were using.
Check Point and Microsoft Integration Delivers Comprehensive Protection
Correct! It's fun to control the whole stack. And while I've been programming on POSIX systems for over 10 years, I've learned more about POSIX programming in the last year than in all the preceding years. There's no better way to understand something than to implement it.

And staying within a Unix-y paradigm means that if some part(s) become too good, they can be semi-easily ripped out and turned into portable libraries/programs instead.
A 500M-year survey of Earth's climate reveals dire warning for humanity
Discussions like this are interesting because the arguments on one side seem ridiculous, yet logically valid and simple to understand/articulate; the arguments on the other side are complex and difficult to formulate into words.

I just got out of the shower, so I'll add my recent showerthought: In a human brain, each neuron is a CPU in and of itself; this means that every neuron in the human brain can run in parallel. In modern computers, the "perceptrons" are virtual, and there are only between 1 and 4 CPUs to allow activation of a specific "perceptron" at a given time.

So if you have a biological brain with 100 billion neurons sitting next to a virtual brain with 100 billion perceptrons, the virtual brain will run 100 billion times slower even with equivalent intelligence.
>if the police are after someone "that person must have done something wrong" and therefore "deserved" whatever happened to them

This, to me, is one of the primary tenants of what is evil about naziism, or tyranny, or whatever you call it.

You can see it alive today. Lookup police cam, or "karma justice" kind videos on YT and see people in the comments cheering on the beutality or deaths of people whom they know next to nothing about.

A civil and just society would see the human in everybody, and try to afford everyone natural rights. Not a judge, jury and executioner in the form of a uniformed enforcer on streets.
that... would be so cool.
I'd love to see ship games, or a u-boat game. Heck even operating the crank to elevate and/or turn an anti-aircraft gun or tank turret
"The city has excellent food, art, music, and other culture. In the suburbs I can't go see a world class gallery of modern art. Or go see a musical. Or go see live jazz. Or go to a bar that specializes in modern cocktails. It is also a capital of activism and support for the LGBT community."

Not for much longer, the way things are going.

Ssshhhh. You're killing the good vibes man. Don't let pesky things like laws get in the way of a good time.

Every time "digital nomad" comes up, there's an argument about "well that law is stupid, it deserves to be broken"... by foreigners breaking a law in some country they aren't a resident.

I wonder how many would be happy to also see the US/EU/AU etc also flooded by foreigners who turn up, and work illegally for ridiculously more than the locals do, without paying local taxes?

Somehow I think it's unlikely that Google is not violating a law that was in part passed to stop Google from doing what it's doing.

> While I think Google is technically in the right here, they're gonna loose big time because they're a foreign company and don't have much love with the public.

They don't need love with the public, just with the ECJ.
Sounds like a good way to get arrested, fined and/or jailed, deported and barred from re-entering the country.

Edit: before someone complains "s/he said incorporated". Yeah, but are you really going to fuck around getting 4 local Thai staff for every "nomad" you want to sponsor for a business visa and work permit, only for them to fuck off 3 months later?

It defeats the purpose. You may as well just hire local staff - you can pay them less than a foreigner and still be above local wages, no visas, no work permits (well except your own, which having local staff would help)

It basically depends on the formation of your team.

A bunch of oldschools sysadmins who "don't code"? Terraform is ridgid and on-rails enough that it probably helps sort of keep things sensible compared to just using boto. Almost like it was a framework, specifically defined to do that sort of thing.

It does sort of suck though, but what sucks less?

Edit: My solution is to stick as much as possible into k8s, but obviously that comes with its own warts, and to be fair to terraform, a lot of terraforms warts are just the underlying API warts leaking through.
vs. 1 Fighting Game Fundamentals a.k.a. Why Button Mashing Doesn't Work
Okay. This is a bit of an exaggeration. The poster above is talking about long distance trains while the article is about subway trains.

1. Most trains in India do have doors.

2. Almost all modern subway in Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai etc do have doors. The trains won’t move till the doors are completely shut.

3. Mumbai is one of the few cities which has an ancient train system which overlaps with the national long distance trains and is separate from the subways but still carries the bulk of the people. Trains/EMUs on this do have doors but people generally don’t close these in rush hours.

4. These days even long distance trains in India have their doors closed shut and you do get reprimanded for trying to keep the doors open (happened to me multiple times)

5. The part about chains being rusted and difficult to pull is probably true.

6. Delhi metro (and I suspect others too) don’t have chains. You have a button and speaker near every other door to talk to the driver in case of emergency.

7. Trains have doors. People just don’t close them.
If you do, keep in mind that it's a continuous work in progress - the book keeps changing and a statically-generated ebook might not reflect that.
I feel like with electronics, its so complicated to make it durable and long-lasting while also being very good in function that if it's worth making at all, its worth making well - in a way with mass-market appeal.

That's not to say that spending loads on marketing is a requirement. Stuff like the original few OnePlus phones for example prove that if (at least in some sectors) tech is good and cheap, people will spread the word
