DEC PDP-7 w/ Type 340 display running Munching Squares and Spirograph

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4oRHv-Svwc

>Two display hacks run on PDP-7 serial number 129 with the Type 340 XY display option. The 340 has a P7 phosphor has a slow decay which gives Munching Squares an eerie afterglow. Both programs read the left switches to modify patterns. A small AM radio was used to pick up RFI from the Type 347 controller. For the MIT AI lab hackers the Munching Squares "music" was referred to as Munching Tunes.

Here is the 340 Vector Graphics Display Programming Manual:

The amazing retro-hacker Lars Brinkhoff has been working on emulating the 340 and its beautiful P7 phosphor with GLSL shaders for the simh PDP-7 emulator:

What blows my mind is that fzf is insanely lightweight, I don't even know if it relies on external dependencies.
> - Jetbrains IDEs - the refactoring and debugging tools are second to none.

It might not quite be in the 100 hours bucket over the past 2 years, but it's close... using their toolbox app has made them much easier to keep installed/updated on my Linux workstation.
Ah, fair enough then :D
I've been trying it out as well, enjoying it so far. Link: https://fulcro.fulcrologic.com/
I didn't say they have. But autonomy doesn't mean immunity from fatalities as well. Their cars as it is already lower overall fatality rate.
Ansible is great but I ran into limitations for larger installations. Also the debugging is a nightmare.

> You seem fundamentally confused about the objects of study of information theory.

It is hard to argue against your slightly condescending remark if my comment is not accurate, which is still up to debate. I am sure I could not observe all due formalities even if I tried. But please understand that my comment was written taking into consideration your previous comment, by which I mean:

- You mentioned that the overall approach in Algorithmic Information Theory is to assume Church-Turing thesis as valid. My understanding is that having a standard representation of data is one among the various accidental benefits of that---raw data could pretty well be represented by a Turing machine itself, as well as any other program representation that could generate it as long as it is a computable function. Notice that, in this scenario, talking about the Kolmogorov complexity of a program is valid, as strings of raw data are also represented as programs.

- The "is it an optimal program?" question was a rhetorical device which apparently did not work well, even due to the fact that I did not define what "optimal" meant in this context---I thought it was given. But I can't understand how you came to the conclusion that I was defining the subject of study of Algorithmic Information Theory there.
Had you tried klipper, and if so, do you have a short version of why one might like Nelly better (other than being cross platform)?
I use coc.vim but the autocomplete for types doesn’t work well: if there are several types by the same name you’ll just get a list of the identical names and no way to tell their signature and/or what package they’re from. And if you have a variable or a type, I also can’t get its signature. These are things that VSCode does very well but I don’t want to switch!

A quite similar tool, or at least one you can configure to behave like that, which works in the CLI is fzf
There are also urban dwellers who can drive, hold a license, but don't own a car due to cost or space issues.

Undoubtedly more common in Europe - lots of Londoners don't own cars because there's nowhere cheap to park at either end of a trip, the traffic is bad, and the public transport is usable.
Shameless plug for color-loving people :

Are all verbs blue ?

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/colorify/

It's parsing any webpage, and coloring words based on their Part-Of-Speech tags.

The idea behind is that if we let the computer pre-parse the text for us, it should incur less mental fatigue, and help visualize the structure of sentences therefore improving our reading comprehension.

The question is how universal can we make this color-mapping ?
I understand that space fanbois find manned space exploration romantic. But it's not all about entertaining you.

Manned space flight has been a complete waste of resources and money, and likely will remain that way for the next 100 years.

Since 1970 far more influential events:

- 747 (early 1970)

- Intel 4004 (1971)

- GPS (1980s)

- Internet (1990s)

But aside from that, there have been incremental improvements of 1%/year in areas like fuel efficiency, medicine and metallurgy. That really adds up over 50 years.

The Space Shuttle literally ate America's space exploration budget, and didn't even go past LEO. Everybody knew this, yet nobody did anything about it.

The US needs to adopt space policies that actually advance science and technology, not manned spaceflight just for feel-good PR shots.

A good start would be de-orbiting the ISS ASAP - the final manned space flight should be to send somebody to the ISS with a chain saw.
After well over a decade of using vim and trying to use it as an IDE (which I did for a few years full time), I opted to use an actual IDE with a vim plugin instead. I currently use the Jetbrains tools which have an excellent vim plugin developed for them that is only annoying sometimes.

It supports macros, and as far as I can tell most of the actual navigation and text manipulation stuff works, even stuff that I didn't find in spacemacs. Even relative line numbers work which has been a godsend. I can navigate tabs using gt/gp, and split windows with :split/:vsplit, but I use the built in file search/navigator for opening files which is far superior to anything I managed to get set up in vim (and I played around a lot).

Then I have a simple .vimrc with only a handful of modifications (100 lines or so) and I drop down to real vim for writing small scripts, and any other text composition and refactoring, like comments on HN ;)

I hear VSCode has an excellent vim plugin, although having briefly played with VSCode a few months ago I don't think it's the tool for me. I'm happy with something heavyweight for developing projects, and something simpler for quick scripts, slack messages, etc.

YMMV of course but this was the route I ultimately ended up taking and I'm happy with my decision.
Yep, such details would eat memory at a fast pace. However, non 100% electricity and non backed up belts could be considered an "off the main path", and be resolved computationally; sort of like the Java JIT deoptimizing an edge case and going back to the interpreter mode.

Players would then strive to make stable, robust bases with as few states as they can. Failing to do so would mean the slow path, and their factory struggling to progress in IRL time.

The optimizing limit doesn't have to be a hard-coded threshold, it could be defined as a cache with a limited capacity.
It's logically necessary, not just an assumption. The simulated world with all its richness is by definition a strict subset of the simulating world. So the latter must be richer than the former.

It's still lighter and easier to embed than Python. Lua has sort of displaced it for "script" files but not so much for "config" files, as artificial as that distinction is; also I'm not sure how much Lua has caught on as an interactive embedded prompt. And in any case a lot of existing systems feel no need to migrate.

And honestly it's still a pretty nice language, as much as I've mostly lost interest in untyped languages. I've been thinking about trying to implement it (or a cut-down version) on GraalVM.

That's a powerful argument against the usual anthropic argument for the world being a simulation. I haven't encountered it before but it makes total sense.
It works in a single folder only. It's actually a set of the following commands:

- D tells mutt to delete messages by pattern
- ~= is pattern which selects all the dupes in current folder
- $ finalizes the command

I think this [1] is where I learned about it and there's also a handy folder hook for mutt which automatically removes duplicates when you open the folder.

No. But we should make a one for systemd now that it has provided similar common persistence mechanisms. Prior to the wide availability of user services, I'd have said that mechanisms for (especially non-root) persistence were too fragmented for a thing like this to be useful for Linux.

One that did nothing but scan systemd would probably be worthwhile now, though.

Instead of z, I use https://github.com/wting/autojump, which is written in Python. This has the benefit that you can call it from outside the shell, too.

Since I also love ranger as a file manager, I wrote my own integration of both: https://github.com/fdw/ranger-autojump . It remembers where I went in ranger, and I can also call autojump in ranger.
It is really hard for me to reply to that comment.

I would say, first, that I need a definition for absolute information, as I have been insisting that information is defined on mutual terms. If we move past that, though, information about the spin state is unclear before measurement.
These IDEs are so powerful, I feel like I'm only ever scratching the surface. Double tapping shift to search for any file in the project is a favourite of mine.

I was born in 94 and don't live in the US.

References to Watergate are ubiquitous (especially thanks to the angle journalists like to take on the current US president) and it was probably mentioned in history classes in school too at some point. I know it's supposed to be part of the curriculum in history classes in some German-speaking countries.

Granted it might not be familiar to someone from a non-western country though.
All humans are colour blind to some degree; as they get older, even more so.
Thanks. Somehow I never heard of that. It seems interesting, albeit 60 years outdated. But then there's the 1984 update.
I got impression that intuitionistic mathematical analysis refers to original Boyer papers. Which is in modern terminology is constructive mathematical analysis plus an axiom of the choice sequence. Intuitionistic logic on the other hand is a classical logic without the law of excluded middle. This is what the constructive mathematics uses and which was also used by Boyer.

And yes, as in practice all physically measurable spaces are of finite dimensions, so using a formalism that works assuming AoC for arbitrary spaces is OK. The only danger is that one reads too much from it and assumes that the real world is like that.
The flaw here is the assumption that colors have a single, well-defined name.

The license has nothing to do with that. GPL2 doesn't require industry to contribute back either. I decline to speculate on why industry adopts Linux.
> Considering that coal is responsible for more radioactive emissions than nuclear per TWh produced including Chernobyl and Fukushima, that is a totally irresponsible and dangerous course of action.

Don't concentration and distribution matter? I mean in Serhii Plokhii's book on Chernobyl he several times repeats the claim that a significant leak into the river/sea would have rendered large parts of Europe uninhabitable. Now either that's a gross lie or your point is ignoring a hugely significant difference between coal production and nuclear. Which is it?

That was nasty.
>does this not put a pretty big nail into reductionist scientific worldviews

It's just generalized enough to be vaguely descriptive, not prescriptive, at least not yet. And I don't think it ever will because just as we have biologists, we still need medical professionals that can diagnose and understand more specifically the bottom layers.

Second question, someone mentioned Into The Cool, a book I'd like to also read that seems to take on this question.

Third question... to evoke the previous answer, why not both?
i3, vim, and vimium.

Not only saved me tons of time and increased my development speed, but allowed me to recover from RSI and pains in my forearm, which in my case was caused by moving my hands between the home row, arrow keys and mouse constantly, and especially worsened when using the mouse scroll wheel.
And for image reasons, it must be "major" release instead of minor release for hw support (like many commercial OSes did in the past, I think even macOS)
"cleaner" is an understatement. It's not 10% or 30% cleaner in terms of climate impact, it's more like 80%. Same for air pollution.
"The US Energy Information Administration has recommended that levelized costs of non-dispatchable sources such as wind or solar may be better compared to the avoided energy cost rather than to the LCOE of dispatchable sources such as fossil fuels or geothermal. This is because introduction of fluctuating power sources may or may not avoid capital and maintenance costs of backup dispatchable sources. Levelized avoided cost of energy (LACE) is the avoided costs from other sources divided by the annual yearly output of the non-dispatchable source."

See here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_of_electricity_by_source

So, is LCOE for wind and solar higher than LACE for nuclear power?

I always thought that /usr/local in FreeBSD was meant only for ports, not for custom software, and that is supposed to go in /opt.

In any case I agree with the need of proper separation of app files. If we could adapt a bit the base tools of the OS, I think we could get there at least half-way there easily. For example if I could write something like

PATH=$PATH:/opt/*/bin

I wouldn't need to symlink every custom binary that I install (and similarly for man pages, service files etc.)

Mind, I am not saying that you are wrong, nuclear today is not a commercially viable option in the West anymore. The point is that digging holes is easier and dirtier than nuclear fission, which is why candles had to be bright to make nuclear happen in first instance. That said, the trade-off seems unfavorable right now, even without considering waste.

Git Bash on Windows. Things like this were always possible, but none of them made the install as quick and painless. This has been especially useful in Linux+Windows shops. You can simply state a requirement of "Windows users: Install Git For Windows", after which you can script things more less identically across both OS's.
Now you are confusing a number of different things.

Einstein used a free-falling sealed box to derive the equivalence principle. This does not imply that any free-falling system is a sealed box. Thinking about clocks makes absolutely no sense without having a way of comparing them.

In your example, the clock in the center of the earth will run slower than the one falling from the tower due to gravitational time dilation. Note that Einstein's "light clock" thought experiments do not capture this effect, since it stems from General Relativity, not Special Relativity.

Audio is definitely something we want. Had a nice elevator bell lined up! Will try to get that added sometime this week.

re #1, it would definitely be more usable with higher visitor traffic. One of our goals was to let people be in the same elevator if they send it to their friends, at the moment that is done by only having one elevator haha. Not ideal!

By not having to configure drivers and other compatibility problems which I have on Linux it definitely saved me 100 hours.

Not sure if its 100 hours, but I love its search in any context of explorer. Default explorer search is terrible IMO. For example when you open file - you can use search there instead of navigating by hand.
No, only if you then get that copy to be the widely circulated copy.

If it is OK to answer my own question, Covid19 has been incredible for me. Ironically, with the drastic decrease in air pollution, my Asthma feels non-existent and I'm not even sure where my inhaler is at this moment, whereas some days I clench it with white knuckles.

Not ordering out has caused our energy levels to increase and our heads to clear, our productivity seems to have doubled. I've dropped 6kg in 3 weeks, and I seem to have gotten over a lifelong insecurity which used to tell me "you are a sysadmin, not a software developer" having learned golang and vuejs, building my first web-app in 22 years.
The full title is "Mortality associated with Covid-19 outbreaks in care homes: early international evidence. Resources to support community and institutional Long Term Care responses to Covid 19".

This paper says that in many places deaths to covid-19 that occur in institutional settings outside hospital often are not counted as covid-19 deaths.

> Data from 3 epidemiological studies in the United States show that as many as half of people with COVID-19 infections in care homes were asymptomatic (or pre-symptomatic) at the time of testing

> Data from 5 European countries suggest that care home residents have so far accounted for between 42% and 57% of all deaths related to COVID-19.
Depends. If you run at overcapacity and use that power for carbon fixation, I'm pretty sure you could get net negative carbon output.

We're still burning stored resources that way, but of the sort that have been estimated to last at least the next few centuries.
When you say catch up on do you mean you want to review what you’ve already learned or you actually want to catch up with the literature in what used to be your field?

If the former, I don’t see why you would go through a structured programme again, you already know what the knowledge tree looks like and you can google for the best textbooks or youtube videos for each topic or course.
