>> ...no, it does not. ...

> I disagree. He says ...

Hmmm..."he" (check my bio) might disagree with your assessment of what "he" said . ;-)

> the REST model could be better then message passing when scaled down

Yes. That's because it is not isomorphic to objects+messages (but built on top).

> then "he" says Alan Kay is right about messaging but that it's just one aspect of his storage combinator concept

Neither of those. It think he's right about generalising from "messages" to "interstitial/ma", which to me (and possibly only to me) means "connectors". That's the general concept (connectors define architectural styles, REST and objects/messages are specific architectural styles). Now of course "messaging" is closer than most other attempts.

> Alan was just looking at the wrong isomorphism.

Not really, he was scaling down the wrong thing, because the scaled up thing did not actually exist, so he had to imagine it, and when it did come into existence it did not match what he imagined it to be (and scaled down).

scaled up | scaled down
------------------------------------------------------------------
1. imagined computer network | objects and messages
2. real global network (WWW/REST) | In-process REST

And my evidence for (1) being wrong is that scaling objects and messages back up did not actually work.

scaled down | scaled back up
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. objects and messages | CORBA/SOAP (Note on Distributed Computing)
2. In-process REST | WWW/REST

Anyway, thanks for reading and thinking it through!

What you get through Windows Update is just partial (but working) support, though. At least in my case my GPU, sound and chipset's main features run poorly with just the Windows Update drivers.
Removing old files to prevent bad guys from getting their hands on them is utterly pointless if you announce the removal beforehand.
> So you don't reckon representative democracy works at all.

What do you mean by "works"? A violent dictatorship with a genocide here and there works perfectly fine, depending on your definition of "works".

> In which case what is there to talk about here?

Priorities. Should the priority be to discuss the importance of encryption. Or should the priority be to discuss the importance of means to influence decisions about encryption?

> You should be out attending to the business of revolution, not yakking on forums about incremental change right?

You mean literally losing a hand or an eye as a yellow vest? Or something like that? Nah. Meh, thanks. Not the best option I would say.

> Personally at present I think representative democracy is working,

Yeah. Again. I agree that it's "working". But without a definition of "working" or a benchmark that's an information-less statement.

> but that people are very dishonest about what they really want.

And you have hope that this will change?

People can't know what they want, if they aren't honestly informed about what's going on around them.
I hate when people refer to the United States as “America”. Very misleading.
Wow. And I thought the charts of "translating" the English Alphabet to Egyptian Hieroglyphics were bad. At least there is some correspondence between some of the uniliteral Egyptian signs and the English Alphabet. These Chinese examples seem to be totally made up.
> That’s our responsibility, as citizens who are in charge of our governments.

As much as I want this statement to be true, I feel like it is less and less the case in todays society. Correct me if I am wrong.
I know of at least one place which still had the original lead Roman piping quite late in the 20th century.
It's not the stupidest idea ever: I want to build a mega-slingshot for commuter purposes (and squirrel hunting). At least your idea has some possibility of controlling acceleration forces, and having the subject/ammunition survive the actual launch.

My idea is still more economical to prototype; which means I'll be first to the important step of courting investors; and of course after that who cares if the idea ever happens or was even possible to begin with.
You missed xmpp.net for TLS which has been here for as long as I can remember.
Except for mattermost, I’ve run all those in a Kubernetes cluster. Good stuff.

I really don't believe that US suburbs were created in an effort to ward off Soviet nuclear strategy.

I more readily believe that US "elite" would know of an imminent attack and deliberately not notify anyone but rather escape to their private bunkers. That's seems like a far more plausible scenario given the Satanic nature of the US oligarchy.

Has this been the trick employed by those tiny Bose speakers that got popular in the 90s?

I remember being in some kind of demo truck as a kid, where they were showing a scene of Jurassic Park (from a Laserdisc!) and they had these big speakers left and right in front and small ones behind, and were blasting the audio at pretty high volume so you would think "surely the thick base is coming from those big speakers up front". Then, half way into the demo, they would open up the "speakers" in front of the audience, revealing the surrounding wood to be fake and the actual speakers inside the fake housing being just the same tiny ones as those located in the back.

I remember being very impressed by that demo. By the speakers, but actually even more by that Laserdisc ;-)
> This pretty obviously excludes access to ring 0.

How is it obvious? One could easily argue that because some hardware manufacturers make shitty drivers, opening up access will allow 3rd party developers to create better drivers, or something like that.
Ask HN: Any experience with investing in places like StartEngine, Republic etc.?
These are the two examples that I know of - https://republic.co/ https://www.startengine.com/
They let non-accredited investors invest too, though it is limited.

Anyone tried these? What has been your experience?

https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/textbook/alternating-curren...

Has this bit in it:

"Transmission lines may be damaged by the high maximum amplitudes of standing waves. Voltage antinodes may break down insulation between conductors, and current antinodes may overheat conductors."

I've never seen any proof of the first but the damage I've seen is consistent with overheating.
How does this product change prospects for Magic Leap?
AMD's market cap (44B) is much smaller in terms of market cap than either nVidia (124B) or Intel (251B), and pre-Zen they bet on mulitcore more heavily which lead to a decade of non-ideal hardware. As a result AMD didn't really have the money to dump into software for drivers and developer experience.

That said, they have been working on opening up the GPU space via ROCm: https://rocm.github.io
Interesting idea, however I think this is too simple. With three cones we have a three-dimensional space of color. We can express this space with RGB or HSV and so on, just by a three dimensional basis vector we can describe one color point in the color space.

With tetrachromats we get a four-dimensional space of color. So we need something like RGBX or a two-dimensional hue value like for example H1,H2,S,V. That's what I meant with a second hue circle orthogonal to the one we already know.

What we see as yellow is for the tetrachromat a whole second hue circle varying in the value of second hue.

An example: Yellow is a point on the first hue circle. For the tetrachromat these colors are different, but boring yellow for us:

- pure yellow

- mixture of red and green

- mixture of pure yellow, red and green

In other words, what we see as yellow is a whole dimension of different colors for tetrachromats.
Private transit as you propose can only exist in suburbs where everybody has large lots, and will be more expensive than owning your own car. Those private cars will always take up a lot of space per person.

If you live someplace where you take the shared tram for the vast majority of trips, then what you propose can work for the few trips where you the tram doesn't work. How often do you really need the private space? If it is all the time you have agreed to forever live in suburban sprawl, with potentially long commutes.
Serde only helps with moving the values from the parser into a struct. It doesn't help with figuring out the data format.
> we all like beholding beautiful scenes which a majority of people don't think to look for.

Actually, that statement isn't true regarding me. When I see something beautiful, I really like to share the experience (even if not at the same moment) with other people. Seeing something beautiful, but only being able to tell others about it, is a bit sad for me.
I’m quite happy with my Anker noise cancelling headphones. They were ~$50.

I haven’t tried the Bose ones that are the consensus best, but somehow I doubt they’re 6x better.
Are there any books to read about the complete list of software licenses ?
This probably depends a lot on exactly when/where you’re flying.

Even if it seemed true for me, I’m not sure I’d bet the price of a ticket (and my schedule) on it always working out.
Not really. I won’t say I’ve never encountered delays but Boston to NYP service is pretty reliable in my experience. Probably as reliable as any other form of transportation in that congested corridor.
I've had the XM3 for a year. It's a great set of headphones and the noise canceling works great. It does have a few peculiarities to be aware of.

My biggest issue is you can't use the noise cancelling or the bluetooth connectivity while it's charging. You either have to wait for it to charge (which is absurdly fast. 10m will give you at least 4-6 hours) or you have to plug in an 1/8th inch audio cable.

The touch controls are kind of odd. If the headphones are tilted slightly forward or backward and you try to increase the volume, you can accidentally trigger backward or forward. It also doesn't trigger consistently. Sometimes, I have to try once or twice before it recognizes the gesture. However, Cupping the hand over the right headphone to hear what's going on around you works every time and is priceless in an office environment.

The built in microphone is terrible. Don't use it. I use either the built in microphone in my 2015 macbook pro or the Antlion ModMic Wireless.

If you live in an area where winter is a thing and like going for walks while listening to podcasts, then don't use the gestures at all. Once the temperature dips below 32F, touching the touch-sensitive controls even once will cause the headphones to switch to "ambient sound" mode, where it pipes in the sounds around you. You can't switch it off and you can barely hear the podcast. To sony's credit, this isn't permanent. You can reboot the headphones and it works perfectly again, provided you avoid those touch controls.

All that said, I don't regret my purchase in the least. They're great headphones and I'll use them until they die on me.
Hey Cris! I saw your email in another thread and I was gonna reach out but for different reasons! My background is software dev with an emphasis on systems infrastructure and release management. I’ve worked enterprise and startups and my niche right now is M&A transitions. Look out for my email later today!
Please don’t make up stupid words
Not one Sennheiser post here? I have the Momentum 2.0 and have found them to be very comparable to Bose in noise cancelation, and better for music.
I still remember writing an XMPP-Client and IRC-Client servers which were widely used across our organization. Later on, we developed our cloud-based chat application with mobile apps. Then we had support for xmpp/irc for those chat apps, eventually dropped the xmpp/irc support too. I think the reason is major players (Google/FB) dropping the support for xmpp and at the same time evolution of many cloud-based chat apps.
XMPP is well standardized and documented. If it could have been TEXT based instead of XML many developers could have adapted (IMAP protocol still being widely adopted).
The most important factor in innovation and progress is INCREASING the capability / confort / convenience of the average person. Your ideas are the complete opposite of that.
I think we will start seeing more and more advanced composite 'metamaterials' being applied in the world outside of research labs.

These are materials with engineered structures at usually the nano or micro scale that have unique/unusual properties. Things like better antennas, imaging devices, or even materials that can perform computations.

As the manufacturing processes develop more I think we will start seeing them more widespread. Defence industries are in particular interested in this at the moment but the potentials are much bigger.
Haskell has been around for more than a decade and had huge uptake by language nerds, but the only significant OSS written in it is Pandoc. In contrast, Rust already has Servo and a number of CLI tools, ripgrep being the most prominent.
I'm sorry but you're absolutely wrong.

While some atrocities did happen there was no genocide at all. That's why the old Spanish Empire in America is full of indigenous and mixed people. In coutrines like Bolivia the indigenous population is like 80%. How's that possible with?

500 years ago the Spanish crown forbid by slavery and declared that all indigenous people had the same rights as anyone. They also encouraged mixed marriages, something that wasn't allowed in the US until the 60's if I'm not mistaken.

I could tell you also how the some Mexican tribes allied with around 600 Spaniards to overthrow the Aztec Empire because they were the slaughters. Or how Blas de Lezo defended Cartagena de Indias from the British and saved thousand of indigenous which would've died in hands of the attackers.

That's why you can find 500 year old Spanish cities and universities in America.

I won't judge actions made 500 ago by today's standards but I won't throw unfunded accusations either.
Because nobody said it and everybody is centered on how XMPP is ugly/beautiful: Congrats for the release :)
Yes, you can. You can also show your ticket to the conductor via the app. I have never interacted with a human when buying an Amtrak ticket.

This is false, the data was selectively biased. Stop spreading misinformation. The "data" you talk about says that seat belts are about as effective as car seats at preventing death, which is true. However the data that is ignored in that study is that they are far better at preventing severe injuries to children. Please look into what you say when people believing your bullshit could severely injure a young child.
Anything is a multiplier by this line of logic.

Good jobs lead to surplus income, which leads to higher quality food, which leads to better health, which is a.. multiplier!

More product distribution centres leads to shorter commute times, which leads to less traffic and lower consumer prices, which are both multipliers!
Tunnels still need large parking lots, which deteriorates the quality of the city for everybody.
Muslims don't pay church tax. Germany plans to introduce Mosque tax very soon and disallow external entities e.g. U.A.E. to "donate" into German mosques.

More integrated muslims are in favor of this, also more integrated muslims do not even identify as such and have no religion. Less integrated are opposed because they don't want to pay.
Also, those who can't drive become shut-ins. The elderly, sick, infirm, children.
Monte is based on E, so they are using E-style promises. An example of ActorScript in Monte is at [0].

There are two main operations that can be done with a promise. We can wait for it to complete, and then perform another action when it is complete, known as "when-blocks"; we can also send a message on top of another sent message, informally known as "promise pipelining".

When-blocks:

when (action) -> { doMoreStuff() }

Promise pipelining:

promise<-add(4)<-subtract(3)

I think the new benchmark seems to be the Sony WH-1000XM3.
I was lucky enough to be able to try these and the Bose QC35II and for me the Sony just edged it.
They are over ear, have extraordinary battery life and are very comfortable.
They can even hold their own on the London Underground which is saying something. Highly recommended!
I’m not sure how this is beneficial to the public. Honestly, I’d argue that ring 0 access is probably more beneficial than this; see the jailbreaking exemptions we already have in place.
100% agree that Google should die in a fire, just after this case. They’re the good guys here.
I've seen a couple of them during my consulting gigs. They don't want to own any infrastructure and don't want to keep IT staff to maintain it. They indeed use G Suite, Office 365 and cloud varieties of line-of-business apps: order processing, inventory, accounting etc. If an app doesn't have a suitable cloud alternative, it's moved to VPS and accessed via RemoteApp (at this point you apparently get some IT guy).

They keep client PCs as "thin" (read "cheap") as possible. They don't have a "SWG" or "file/firewall policies" or anyone who can implement and enforce it. It's just stock desktop AV software perhaps with some initial tuning. And this resource-hungry beast is there only to scan incoming files for the ransomware-of-the-day, either downloaded from the Internet or copied from USB thumb drives. If they could deny users from downloading anything, disable thumb drives and drop AV entirely, they'd be much happier, especially that poor IT guy.
Deserialisation (in this context) is the act of decoding data from some "string representation" to a representation suitable for use, typically a native format.

Typically, although this depends on the specific encoding, a parser is required as one of the first stages of a deserialiser; normally a parser refers to something which applies the rules of something as least as complex as a CFG, as opposed to a lexer/scanner which typically just applies regular expressions; a combination of the two allows the serialised format to be interpreted.

You can show quite easily that JSON (and indeed any CFL) cannot be "parsed" using a lexer alone.
At least for the north or south subset of the Northeast Corridor the type of transportation honestly boils down to preference. Train is in the comfortable but relatively pricey and slow end of the equation. I could drive from Central Mass to New York cheaper and faster than train but I hate doing that drive.
I wonder why Clojurescript succeeded where Common Lisp hasn’t: compiling a lisp to javascript. Is Common Lisp particularly tricky in some way that Clojure isn’t?
Indeed, which is why did not blame the computers. I blamed the people who put them in charge. So, there isn't any disagreement here.
I'm a 'lover of chaos'. My working desks always gather strata of documents, more often than not disheveling onto the surrounding floor.

This article however rubs me the wrong way right from the start. 'Cars running at the same speed' aren't "efficiency-destroying" nor about spurious 'appearance'. A controlled laminar flow is incredibly more efficient than chaotic turbulence.

It does not get any better later on, when the author waxes lyrically about 'beautiful equilibrium that evolved to satisfy a thousand competing constraint' in the absence of planning, casually glossing over the part where communal zoning regulation prevents not just externality dumping races to the bottom and the basis for non-speculative investment to those that can't afford to gamble or force their own "manu militari" regulation.

While self proclaiming "not suggesting all chaos is good", it is exactly what the rest of the article's suggestive language tries to convey. The deregulation agenda, while not explicitly spelled out, is omnipresent in the tenure of the writing.

P.S. I'm not surprised to learn that the author works for Uber.
what industries would these be?
Hmm GPL states any distributed modifications must be shared. So the employee does not violate any licenses by snagging a copy of the code that was distributed. I’m sure there may be other violations that may cause an involuntary termination event, but per the license the world now has the right (and the company is violating the GPL by not offering the code)

I will add if the company fixes their GPL violation then the employee is now violating the new license (since the GpL licensed code wasn’t valid in the first place). So it is best to not pirate any code even if you think it should be open (until the employer has confirmed in some way)
Windshields usually filter UV light, but the other car windows usually don't. In addition a large number of infant car seats consist of a base unit which always remains fastened in the car and a removeable unit which holds the infant. The removeable unit often can also fit into a stroller unit. When used in the stroller the EPP and EPS have a even greater chance of being exposed to UV light.
Americans in general seem to be quite engaged in these very high THC strains that give you the zoned out kind of high, as opposed to the more sociable (as you described) low THC and high CBD strains. For a coffeeshop setting, I would have liked it very much if our Dutch coffeeshops had a sense of community, as opposed to being drop-offs for tourists looking to get a quick high in the city.
Your observations about ‘why not this!’ support OP:

Religious place aren’t typically a place where people meet casually to scheme some new social structure that would weaken its clergy and royalty.

Bathhouses aren’t exactly discrete or quiet. You can’t really have a conversation in there without anyone else listening. Plus there is function to it, it’s not just a casual place to meet and greet.
We can of course build 3d. However the costs of building 3d is vastly more than building 2d. Thus we generally prefer to build mostly on the surface unless forced to do something else.
I have one of these, almost feature identical that I wrote for Windows for personal use. I didn't think there was a market for these type of local 'notepads' ?
Technically not yet, once WSL2 is mainline there will finally be proper Linux support in Windows. WSL1 is a series of shimmed calls to the NT Kernel and as a first implementation it’s pretty bad ass but to call it an environment for full Linux distros is misleading consider things like systemd are completely missing at the moment.
Especially when the full costs of it don't have to be paid right now. Most car dependent places in the US don't enough money to actually repair all of the roads and infrastructure that they have built out. Also, most places there is no option but to drive because of zoning practices effectively banning mixed use. Suburbs from the mid 20th century on are all designed for cars and cars alone. Giant consolidated schools are put far away instead of the traditional smaller schools closer to where people live so kids have to be driven by bus or by parents. It was not always this way but it has indeed been forced by a design choice in how suburbs are laid out.
The USA is economically oppressive to larger families in many ways like this.
The new B&W PX7 actually has much improved ANC and is getting very close to the QC35.
