Copernicus' shift in think was certainly his major contribution to the field (IMHO). And Galileo was certainly gifted in many things (being a bit of a poly-math, as many were at that time: art, medicine, optics), but I'm not sure what value he added to the cosmological conversation.

Kepler published his defense of the Copernican system in 1596. He then published his first two laws in 1609 using Brahe's (pre-telescopic?) observations; the first patent for the telescope was in 1608. So even by then things were moving toward what 'reality' actually is.

More generally, I think that the 'Galileo affair' is portrayed as being a bigger deal than it actually was. I also think that people underestimate how much "politics" was a blood sport at that time.
I wonder how long it will take for the salaries to normalise comparing with market rate.
The salaries increased to 70k minimum, so they’re paying above market rate for a few roles.

The hiring quality will also increased. For example, with a 40k salary, the company could hire someone with 5 years of experience, with 70k, they can find someone with 10 years of experience.

So in a few years the company will get rid of low performance and hired more skilled workers and the salary vs skill will match the market rate again. (with a few exceptions)
LF CR was always wrong. On a real TTY, it often takes longer than one character time for the CR to execute. CR has to accelerate and decelerate an actual physical mass.

LF CR did surface briefly in the early days of PC’s, I can’t remember where, but before the days of “glass teletypes” you learned very quickly not to do that. Adding a couple of NULs to let the print head settle down was sometimes necessary if you really wanted clean print.

Why can't this article be news as well? I found it to be quite interesting.
I still use “the like” for most of my projects but not Heroku specifically. I love Heroku’s service but for a small bootstrapped company it’s really expensive.

Specifically I use dokku on a DO droplet. It does mean I have to manage the server myself which Heroku removes from the user, but again for a small company it’s just one server so it’s maybe an hour or two a month I spend on server admin. But my monthly cost for 15 projects running 24/7 is $10, compared to $100+ on Heroku. It’s not a huge difference if you’re funded or have a very profitable business, but my margins are thinner than I could afford with Heroku.

That’s a bit surprising given that the Netherlands has a generous social system. I’ll try as a first step to ask and look for government organizations that could potentially help and give you free stuff.

Next, I’ll drop tech for a while. I’ll look for any job that has low or no barrier to entries. Washing cars, cleaning carpets, collecting garbage, etc... These are jobs with little barriers to entry and that will have no problems accepting you if you did sleep on the street yesterday.

After you get yourself a place to stay, better clothes, and a haircut then I’ll start branching into tech again.

Today’s Flush-Flush KASLR vulnerability

I'm not advocating for designing life around increasing car ownership. I'm pointing out that re-designing existing systems to disadvantage a specific group of commuters is more than a little problematic. Let's put it this way - how would you feel if we shut down your nearest train station and used the money saved to give everyone a tax break.

We can also decrease carbon emissions by just shutting down every power station in China, but targetting a single group of people to take the vast majority of the cost of fixing climate change is not reasonable.
I have used and like Ant Design for its completeness. I also have done some small projects with Prime React ( https://www.primefaces.org/primereact/ ) and liked it. Prime also has bindings for other frameworks, so it might be good for people who don't (just) use React.

I have an HNC in Computing from the UK - basically a vocational pre-university qualification. It's not amazingly useful. Shortly after achieving that a lot of mental health stuff popped up which derailed things for a few years, so uni wasn't a thing.

I've been coding for a very long time, and am a polyglot - Python, Go, javascript on both frontend and backend, bash. Current project is largely Go+Python+bash. Previous completed projects were in node.js and Python. A pile of personal and small scale Linux server admin experience to go with that. Nothing professional, unless you count the time I told someone about letsencrypt and they gave me $200.

I've been applying for everything I can find that matches that experience and doesn't have a requirement of "a degree and 5 years commercial experience". In addition, anything cafe-wise that turns up, call center jobs (even though I have severe phone anxiety), anything else that looks vaguely bearable. I have separate CVs per job type, but the fact that I have not had paying work in such a long time is what gets me ignored.

I tried to sign up for the local cycle couriering services here and was denied, apparently I am not fast enough at cycling.

I do not have friends or family who have their own businesses, or who could help me find a role in a business they work for.
Bikes can certainly share pedestrian areas, they just need to ride slower, the walkways need to be wide, and the walkways should be easy to enter and exit in the case you need to ride around groups of people (shallow curbs you ride up and down). Look at Osaka, you have almost free reign on a bicycle there. Bikes are slow, cars are slow, but it all flows. Bikes even join foot traffic in shopping precints. But when it's too busy people are no longer on their bikes anyway, because the whole place is walkable.

It takes a level of empathy and cooperation I think doesn't exist in the bike versus car debate, because it has become an "us versus them" debate and everyone is trying to win not collaborate.
They may not feel wealthy now, but unless this is the plague from 12 Monkeys, Asia will recover. If you got hosed in 2008 you're still way up, and will likely be up after this.

And if it is the plague from 12 Monkeys (or The Stand, or other apocalyptic settings) then feeling wealthy is the least of their problems.
It’s not really true that we have custom front-ends because they are best for the user. Consider the example of AirBnB in the article and the fact that in 2012 they stopped allowing ranking by price: one has to assume that if a feature has been absent for eight years there’s no intention to reimplement it (presumably because it behooves the company to have it absent). I’m guessing that AirBnB knows/believes that the absence of this feature leads users to choose slightly more expensive properties and this generates more income. The spreadsheet intercept allows the user to regain control.

I've read the comments you've written on HN.

It really feels like you have a good understanding of many tech out there. I'm a bit surprised a profile like yours post this.It feels like you could easily pick up any entry level dev job? HN would always surprise me.

If I were you, I'd show up in every tech meetups I could find.Talk with people, and offer free (paid?) advices for subject you feel comfortable with. After few weeks, I think you could get a bit of money for consulting or even a job offer.
The curb is a hazard to cyclists, more so than a crash with inattentive pedestrians. The majority of Dutch cycle lanes are level with the sidewalk and how often do you hear of accidents (not caused by mopeds)?
I was doing remote development with code completion and navigation using Emacs TRAMP years before this feature you talk of. So... Not as difficult as you seen to be implying.
I don't think so. Electronic speed systems with fines sent to your home no matter where you from, mobile speed detectors, unmarked police cars, all sorts of cameras and etc. Which country is lenient,may I ask?
This can’t be true. Taxis often run with zero passengers, whereas a private car never does.
Well, OK. But the rolling stock on those lines is (in some cases) shared between the lines. The same train could end up operating the Circle, District, or Hammersmith & City lines. Parts of the track are also shared between those same lines, so I guess TfL wanted some consistency.
No refund on the flights so we ended up paying a ticket change fee and rescheduling for september! Some of the lodging was less flexible unfortunately :(
The same could be said for Emacs.

I think the author ignores just how radical Rockwell's earlier "Four Freedoms" were, so his work on civil rights didn't just come out of nowhere. Yes, the "Four Freedoms" can be interpreted as mere "patriotism", but they were based on a speech of FDR's that included "freedom from fear" and "freedom from want", which were both rather radical inclusions as to what freedom meant at the time.

Just a note, as I was recently slightly disappointed when shopping for RAM for a recent Threadripper build:

The current max capacity for Threadripper ECC RAM is 128GB. The largest unbuffered ECC DIMM is 16GB. With an Epyc (or a Xeon) you could used registered memory which is available in higher capacities.

If you went 3990X, you'd be limited to 1GB per thread or 2GB per core. This isn't a showstopper, but could be a bottleneck depending on how RAM-intensive your workload is.

Let me be clear, I'm still quite happy with my recent purchase and build. Threadripper has enabled unprecedented core counts at very low prices.
This is a relatively recent area of study for the fields of international development and development economics. The UN has a World Happiness Report and there are a number of institutions that are now trying to directly measure happiness as well as the usual well-being indicators (like health, education, freedom, wealth).

The data seems to show that improving those indicators seems to increase happiness up to a certain level, after which they have much more marginal effects. One theory is that once basic needs are met, happiness becomes "relative" to the people around you, so rich countries/societies getting richer doesn't further improve happiness.

I can't speak to what was going on 100 years ago but based on the above I'd imagine they were a lot less happy than we are now - as a lot of people were not having their basic needs met.
I always took at least part of Zuck's infamous "dumb fucks" comment to be prompted by people violating what were such basic rules of social Internet behavior at the time: do not post real, identifiable shit about yourself, do not use your real name, and so on. They were "dumb fucks" because they were, and were acting like, such Internet n00bs.

Now that stuff's normal, in large part thanks to Facebook, and it causes all kinds of problems.

I find it extremely distracting. A little hard to describe, but it is sort of like trying to remember one number while someone is babbling other numbers, or trying to keep a train of thought while listening to multiple other conversations.

There's also the visual noise - I hate it for the same reason I hate tool tips and similar. Popping up flyovers on top of whatever I'm trying to focus on is utterly infuriating and I've never understood why people think that's good UI. It is like shoving your hand in my face if I look at you.
>> Riccioli’s work and the star size problem tell us that what was going on in the seventeenth century was not the brave and reasonable Copernicans against powerful forces arrayed to cover up the truth, so much as it was the scientific process at work: a vigorous debate, with good arguments and careful observations on both sides, as each worked to figure out what the truth was.

Yes, vigorous scientific debate with arguments on both sides, as for example the argument of the Inquisition that heliocentricism was heresy.

An argument that the Inquisition certainly defended vigorously. Galileo was tried and found guilty of heresy, forced to recant his heretic views and spent the latter period of his life under house arrest.

It seems the way the scientific process works has changed since Galileo's arrest. We don't expect scientists who voice controversial opinions (i.e. ones that go against the accepted consensus) to be arrested, tried and imprisoned, for voicing such opinions.
Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts
There are Freelance websites where you can work on small coding projects for money.

Use those get some immediate money and start building up confidence and accomplishments that you can use on your resume/cv.

After doing that for a while apply for a full-time role with your updated resume showing multiple successful small projects from freelance roles.
Hello friend, I'm sorry to hear that things are so difficult. Remember that even this shall pass, so please hold on.

For the immediate term, I would recommend looking for an easy brainless job that would bring in some money while being easy to quit, so that you can look for coding work. A bar, cafe, pizza shop, whatever. Ideally somewhere where squat-friendly people work. It sounds like it could be good for you to be around other people, so I would personally do that instead of Upwork.

Coding work - I would suggest seeing if any small NGOs, charities or companies need some help. Don't necessarily wait for job adverts - just get in touch directly with a warm intro and a nice cv. In my experience they are often in a total state of chaos when it comes to their tech, and having someone who can straighten things out is incredibly valuable to them. The pay's not necessarily great, but it's meaningful and you'll get to employ a wide range of skills and be your own boss.

It's unclear what you mean by being 'dead in a few months'. Can I suggest that if you are contemplating suicide you reach out for help on that immediately, ok?

This was one of my favorite games to play as a kid. I played it for many hours. The physics, engine sounds, in-car view were really impressive. It is still my favorite racing games to this day. It left a greater impression on me than any other racing game I played since. One question I had is, why weren't cars able to flip upside down in the game? This wasn't a large negative, as the the way the cars crashed and showed damage was quite good. I laughed so much as a kid playing this game, it was pure excitement for me.

Sounds awesome and reminds of the good old times. I don't know much about consoles but in the home computer era, a ton of the awesome stuff was accomplished by clever trickery triggered by interrupts generated by the electron beam.

The Commodore 64 for example could trigger an interrupt at an arbitrary screen position and not just H-blank or V-blank. We used to call these raster interrupts. Graphics on the screen border, simultaneous graphics and text mode, split screen effects, more than 8 hardware sprites and the light pen were all things that were only possible on the C64 because of that capability. If you want to learn about this check out Shallan50k on Twitch, he does awesome streams about these techniques. The Acorn is a good counterexample of a much more powerful machine which lacked the ability to do raster interrupts and that is in my opinion one major reason the Acorn had relatively poor graphics.
I was excited to read about how to return power to the people from centralized services and data centers that arose to power the modern Web.

Indeed, this article started out talking about centralized data centers, but then veered off to talk about power consumption instead of Power to the People. I guess as a play on words, “power” can refer to power consumption.

But if you want to find direct solutions to centralized data centers usurping the power of people and their local communities, I wrote an article two years ago with the same name:

- API, SDK, Software and app are used interchangeably

- no differentiation between a map view and a tile view making the pricing not comparable

- mapfit is recommended as software, the company no longer exists

- OmsAnd is a mobile app, it cannot be used for a website if that's the goal, they don't offer tiles to be reused in other software or website

- "remember the quality and reliability hardly won’t meet high Googlу standarts[sic]" HERE.com has that high standard, it's a 9000 people company, that's why they are so expensive

- https://www.graphhopper.com/pricing/ is a great routine service, but doesn't offer map tiles

- mapbox does offer business geocoding

- mapbox data is not all open source. They use OpenStreetMap but also 100 other sources

- mapbox pricing is per 1000. 100,000 requests would cost $25 (the first 50,000 are free) not $5
