You would think that the "total efficiency rating" of a charity wouldn't measure just the internal overhead of the company you're giving the money to, but rather how much useful work comes out the other end once the job of actually helping someone has been subcontracted out N times. In such a view, a money-shuffler is clearly less efficient, because in the end they have to give the money to someone else, so they can only add overhead on top of whatever efficiency that someone-else already has.

I was expecting an interactive 8-bit computer simulation webapp, but all I got was something that could've been several pages on a static site. More disappointingly, it apparently requires a very "modern" browser to view :-(

In my experience, to see this sort of anti-accessibility from someone who knows the "low-level" enough to build CPUs successfully is unusual, but unfortunately getting more prevalent. The others I'm aware of, http://www.homebrewcpu.com/ and https://www.bigmessowires.com/bmow1/ , have far more accessible sites.

Edit: looks like others here think accessibility is not a concern anymore. That's really disappointing, especially for low-level stuff.

Ben Eater is without a doubt in my top 10 youtubers. His videos are so in-depth and explained in such a great way that I come away learning huge amounts every time he posts.

I’m sure a lot of this stuff is basic to people here, but to a software guy, I’ve found his channel invaluable for understanding how computers work at an electronics level and also just wildly fascinating.

how is that related to Lisp? Is code generation in Lisp limited to 'quoted templates'?
Almost certainly due to C heritage.
Equipment is going to be a huge expenditure.

As a hardware startup currently spending big on manufacturing equipment, I feel your pain. I've seen a few hardware startups use alternative approaches to this space, which depending upon your target business model may be viable.

One option is, if you are selling hardware with your own software and configuration, the hardware manufacturer may gift/loan/discount development hardware to you to facilitate your development work.

Another option is leasing or timeshare of the equipment.

Finally, vendor financing may allow you to defer payment for 12-24 months without the overhead of seeking external capital.

Outside of the above methods, at a business process level having a rapid and well documented pipeline for per-unit assembly that does not necessitate pre-purchase can help to defer per-unit costs (shift from pre-fab to post-purchase fab) without greatly blowing out lead time from the customer perspective.
What I struggle with is the issue of health insurance. What are really the options of safety when chasing your post-tech dreams? That risk and uncertainty is what keeps me from moving on with just taking a few years to try something else.

If that's what people are looking for they can go to GIMP. So I don't see how that answer specifically indicates why people would be unhappy with the situation on Linux.
If you like Rilke, you'd also really like James Hollis' The Middle Passage (1993).
As for as books from the past decade go David Brooks' The Road to Character was pretty good. His follow-up The Second Mountain would have been better if he didn't recycle so much from the previous work. Sam Harris' Waking Up was pretty eye opening as Harris is a very lucid thinker.

This spring I sat down with my laptop and a new show to binge watch, and started looking at my inbox. Every time I found a new update from some mailing list I'd find the unsubscribe link, then search by some keywords and bulk delete them (places that sent email receipts are a bit trickier that way, but it's doable). Maybe 90 seconds per mailing list. Tedious, hence the TV.

The most obvious mailing lists removed a significant fraction of all of my emails. The long tail was trouble. When I'd done all I could stand, I went event-driven. Some infrequent spam would show up and I'd deal with it then. Now I'm dealing with a couple a week.

Most of my email is still 'spam' that I haven't brought myself to unsubscribe from yet. I've been thinking about it a lot lately and I may be there.

But I'm already at the point where if someone is trying to get ahold of me by email it works again, and that wasn't true for quite a long time.
Note that when they exclude China, that has predominantly domestic debt as opposed to external, it doesn't look nearly as bad.

Are you still a Common Lisper, and what do you use it for?
That’s a project many generations of electrical engineering students did in the university in Dresden. It was fun and great experience and admission for final thesis. I think, it’s a must for every electrical engineer since electrical systems barely exist without software nowadays.
> The fourth such debt wave started in 2010, and is the fastest rising as well as the largest.

It's largest because unlike the first 3 regional debt waves, this one is global. US, EU, China, Japan and every major economy just printed money to kickstart growth since 2009. Should be interesting to see how this one resolves itself.

> The feature you are requesting is probably for Photo editing or manipulating images that are currently not in our focus.

And if Krita was Photoshop, I wouldn't use it for illustration.

I don't want a photo manipulation tool, I want a painting program. Sure Photoshop can do all the fancy brush stuff, it can have fancy blend modes and stuff, but the primary interface isn't designed with that in mind. It's a manipulation tool. Using it for illustration is using a very broad "jack-of-all-trades" program for something very focused, and that broad toolset honestly kind of gets in the way.

I'm invested in Krita's future now, but if I wasn't I certainly wouldn't be moving back to Photoshop. I need a tool that's specifically designed for drawing. Pre-CC Photoshop had reasonably decent Wine support, but I've never been tempted to load up an old copy for drawing.

To the extent that Krita is trying to replace anything, the problem that Krita is attempting to solve is that Linux doesn't have Clip Studio.

Before I scan the thread for inspiration, these are mine:

1. Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance; I have no words for this except that it was profound and I was ready for it.

2. The Five Dysfunctions of a Team; a classic where history knows better than we do.

3. Special Topics in Calamity Physics; a fictional tale that shows you how damn easy it is to get lost in conspiracy and speculation.

4. House of Leaves; you can't beat a mind-bending horror like that. I live for this stuff.

5. Siddhartha by Herman Hesse;
It's 50 pages long, just read it.

6. Tantra Illuminated;
A well researched and academic study into the history and the beliefs of Tantra

7. The King in Yellow and its derivatives; The Hanged King lore in the SCP universe is obsessively fascinating to me.
Answering what I can. Where something is an implementation detail, I'm referring to rage (which I'm obviously more familiar with).

1. rage tests arguments for validity as filepaths, and uses the file preferentially over treating the argument itself as a recipient format.

2. The header uses normal Base64. This was changed recently, and the examples likely need updating.

3. rage currently rejects unknown formats; I haven't implemented this part of the spec yet.

4. Based on the current contents of the age specification, it looks like limiting to standard Base64 characters is consistent.

5. Additional lines all need to be standard Base64 characters (i.e. consistent with the format of current recipient lines) if implementations are going to be able to skip unknown formats.

(Recipient lines are currently under-specified in the spec. I opened https://github.com/FiloSottile/age/issues/9 a while back for addressing this.)

6. The normalization notes are an artifact of an earlier ASCII armoring format. Now that the armor is (a strict subset of) PEM, there is no need for CRLF normalization, as the age format solely uses LF, and PEM (which can tolerate either) is only a wrapper around the age format and thus does not affect the header.

8. rage signals this via an I/O error in the library that will bubble up through std::io::copy; this amounts to truncation on a chunk boundary and a non-zero exit value.

Seconding, please do. I'm a paying Ripcord user working on a Dell 2-in-1 (essentially a Surface clone with a better price tag), and I miss proper touch (and pen) handling too - to the point that I started looking into fixing this on my own with AutoHotkey (I'm thinking of an always-on-top semi-transparent area I could touch / pen over, which would translate this into appropriate mouse events to send to Ripcord to make it scroll). But it would be vastly better if I didn't need to do this :).

Oh, and since I have you here: would it be possible for you to look into the group DM handling? We run plenty of group DMs at work, and I have two problems with them: one, they tend to randomly disappear from the sidebar, and two, there seems to be no way to start a group DM from Ripcord.

Also, again, thank you for your hard work.
As a man-boob Carrier since a kid, my diet very seldomly had any sort of fast food. I don't want to imagine how I'd turn out if I had a fast food diet...
I do that too when I can -- most of the various card benefits (e.g points, free upgrades etc) then accrue to me. I couldn't get that free night's hotel stay on a vacation trip charged it to a company card! And by charging and paying off a lot I now have very large credit limits.

But I can do that because indeed I have large limits and my expense reports are paid promptly. Some people can't afford to lend their company tens of thousands of dollars a month (as my XRs are paid promptly I don't pay interest for this -- in fact much of the time I am reimbursed before the bill is due). More significantly companies typically require that the company-issued card is used because the bill will arrive pre-sorted into categories that integrate with the company accounting system and travel policies. The systems back in the 80s (and 00s for that matter) were much less sophisticated and often paper based so processing an expense report was not much more work than managing a company card.
Companies evolve toward what they (think they) are good at. Probably something to do with min-maxing.

Normal engine braking (and even the compression-release "Jake brakes" on diesels, while more effective) doesn't develop anywhere near as much force as the wheel brakes. You're right that it does generate heat, but it's not a lot --- instead of purely compressing and releasing the compressed air, the engine is just acting as an air pump; the air gets compressed (and hotter) during the compression stroke, but instead of igniting, what would be the power stroke merely expands the air again to the same volume it had before, and then the exhaust stroke pushes it out with little restriction. I would bet that even if it's just idling, the heat of combustion will be far greater than whatever friction losses contribute to engine braking.

I know that is a terrible answer for the vast majority of us on HN. But if this is for a family member, and dozens of others, who are not tech-savvy, don't re-invent the wheel. Just give them something that works.
It’s channels like Ben Eater, Great Scott, Bitluni, and Andreas Spiess that have gotten me into tinkering more with physical electronics lately.

It’s such an accessible hobby thanks to the abundance of online information/ideas, cheap components, and simple tools. Plus you learn so much even with the most basic of projects, and considering how much our world now depends on electronics and technology, I think it’s practically useful as well as simply entertaining to learn this stuff.

There's no good way to "nudge nudge, wink wink" in a text medium. I thought the chosen technique was perfectly fine, it got the idea across without leaving anything legally actionable.

Adobe has in the past had a bit of tolerance for under-the-table copies. If you get hooked on PS at an early age there's a good chance you'll insist on it when you reach a position with a budget.
It's worth the money. I've paid, and I'd happily consider paying $20 a month (especially if I could deduct it as business expense).

Closed source is a bit of a downer, but FWIW, I did some preliminary inspection with GlassWire; Ripcord seems to stay true to its word: no telemetry.
How my devices configuration look (all their mac addresses banned on router level, they dont have access to internet):

- tv, not connected to network, using raspberry pi 4 for kodi, connecting outside trough squid proxy limiting domains it can connect to. Was never connected to internet

- roborock vacuum cleaner, rooted, software disabled, replaced by open source version

- android deviced moved to microg lineage, armored with xprivacy lua and netguard, by default on spoofing/blocking everything and disabled on case by case basis. If application demands private informations it doesnt have access to internet

- 100% self hosted, sftp for files, dns server, own mail server, squid proxy with custom scripts, blocking from domains to rewritting requests, customized searx, running on custom build freebsd

- browser on all devices, heavly armored firefox

- only linux and freebsd devices except android in phone (it is going to be replaced by linux/sailfish when released - cosmo communicator)

- each new device bought is evaluated before buy and returned after buying if it cant be rooted/blocked from internet.

- no device is bought with connectivity if not needed, following "no internet of shit principle"

There are lots of details around that, ask if interested.

I bought a $3000 top-end Samsung TV in 2015. The experience made it the last product from Samsung that I'll ever buy.

Their top of the line 4K HDR-UHD TV (for flat TVs, their highest was curved) was delivered with bright corners that were whitish all the time. Samsung claimed that this was within normal standards for a $3000 TV, and told me they would not repair it (after going around with them for a week or so). Luckily, the local retailer agreed to exchange it. Their denial of responsibility has cost them a lifetime of purchases.

The Laws of Human Nature

Love this book
The combination "something valuable to contribute to this world" and "have no chance of getting an economic return out of that" sounds like a market failure, and something that could/should be fixed, both for the benefit of the individual and for society.

There are indigenous Australians in remote communities, who grew up and remain living in cultures that have little familiarity with modern commerce, but who produce artworks that sell for thousands of dollars on international markets. The proceeds are invested back into those communities for their future benefit. This happens because systems have been established to make it happen.

So I'm not convinced that there is an immutable state in which a certain class of people, while providing valuable contributions to society, cannot reap any economic benefit or improve their own lot in life.

Can you describe an example of this situation that you've observed?
The myth is more about being "feminized" rather than just the physical appearance of boobs. Boobs are acceptable because so many men have had them for so long but being "feminized" seems like a lot more scary prospect.
The problem with spend-based schemes is that the way flights ticketed by alliance partners credit becomes very convoluted since, for instance, United doesn't have any idea what you paid Air Canada to fly from Bangkok to Hong Kong on Thai Airways. So we end up in a situation where United's mileage credit rules could actually encourage you to fly, say, ANA from SF to Tokyo rather than United, which is exactly the opposite of what they were trying to do a few years ago by harmonizing mileage credit rates for their trans-Pacific joint venture partners.

Status wasn't just supposed to encourage you to spend more with your home airway, but also to prefer their alliance partners when you travel outside of your airline's route network and I think that concept is rapidly being weakened by these spend-based schemes.
