The author mentions that they didn't have a debugger and couldn't get MacsBug to work inside the emulator. A useful technique here is to use the emulator itself as the debugger: most emulators have features for setting breakpoints and single stepping through emulation and directly reading memory values from the emulated system's memory (by absolute memory address). For example, here is the documentation for 'hardware'-level debugging in the PCE emulator: https://github.com/jsdf/pce/blob/pcejs/doc/monitor.txt

One 'nice' thing about working with old architectures like classic Macintosh is that there is basically no abstraction between the software and the hardware, so manipulating the behavior of the emulated hardware becomes a powerful debugging tool.
> if I could only communicate how this feature could help a lot of people everyone would understand

I don't mean to flog a dead horse, but you seem to be intent on digging a deeper and deeper hole.

It's not for you or anyone else to make someone's data public without their consent, because you think it helps them.

> and me to really hear what people were saying

Nobody should need to tell you any of this. If it truely did, then you clearly don't care a jot about privacy, and simply aren't responsible enough to manage other people's data.

A companies ethos and values cascade down from the top, so your attitude towards privacy is especially concerning.
> require an import of clpfd

:- use_module(library(clpfd)).

Yeah, always show your imports with your code snippets! :-)
Thanks it's still a early in development, but I'd be interested in any feedback you have
> Perhaps this is the blindness that people in privileged positions in life can’t see...

Yep, and that privilege may take many forms.

- Secure, well paid job.

- Friends in high places.

- Correct opinions for your area.

It's a market like everything else. If you have the best weapons and it is a sellers market, you can buy everything in 'exchange' with your weapons.

However, if others see the 'opportunity' and also participate in that market, profits decline until your income can barely cover production costs.

Have a look at the quality of life of the Soviet Union. They spent everything on weapons with a very limited return on investment.

On the other hand, Guns Germs and Steel argues that the military competition within Europe has led to western dominance. From that perspective, investing in weapons leads to huge profits even if short term returns are very low.
Everytime I release a game / interactive experiment this kind of stuff happens. I usually see if more people feel that what I did could be improved on. if many people think something would improve the UX, I usually change it.

first time I released this code I remember people saying they want be able to "survive" more to see the evolution. if decreasing the cool down if the shot would help, I guess I can change that.
I’m not really sure what argument you’re trying to make. Obviously the British had an impact on Chinese history at the time. How that directly leads to communism is again, unclear and contingent on a number of other factors, many of which could have easily been very different. I don’t see how one can argue for a direct link.
You do realise that if you have any European users you have majorly contravened GDPR regulations and data protection rules.

> Take a break once and hour or two and check for high priority messages.

But that requires parsing a torrent of mainly chatter messages. Slack is really poorly suited to time-shifted message review; scroll, scroll, scroll...
New features are almost never opt-in. It’s way more tempting to show a high user number in a status meeting than care about user privacy.
The "trending" section is for paid promotions. No one expects it to reflect view counts at this point. The issue of fake views is separate and probably difficult to do at that scale without being detected. Getting a few thousand fake views past the algorithm is probably easy. Getting 10s of millions is probably close to impossible.

Stuffing as many homeless as possible in close quarters at Moscone gives the impression San Francisco is hellbent on killing off its homeless population using COVID-19.
A key point, stated elsewhere in the article, is that “[f]requent hand washing and staying at home and avoiding contacts when sick are probably very useful.”

I’m not familiar with all the data, but it seems obvious that having thousands of people traipsing through a grocery store at a distance of 6-feet likely does little-to-nothing to stymie the spread of the virus. The key is drastically reducing how often you are interacting with physical objects and spaces that a sick person could have also interacted with. Social distancing does very little in that regard.

Edit: spelling
A datasheet is a contract, not just documentation. If they put something on the datasheet, they need to write the document, then test the parameter, and guarantee that performance.

If I receive 10k of a part that does not satisfy specified performance parameters, I will return the reels, and never design that manufacturer's parts into any future product.
When you created an in-memory drive (what the heck was the name for them in DOS?), for example to store temporary files on, the label FDISKFAKE was automatically given. If you tried to format the drive, format complained that an in-memory drive can't be format. If you changed the label, format happily formated the drive.
The article briefly mentions teaching this principle to children, and references this article, which I found interesting: https://blinkthinkchoicevoice.com/resources-and-tips-for-tea...

"Blink, Think, Choice, Voice" is a pretty poor mnemonic though. They compare it to "Stop, Drop, and Roll", but those instructions make sense even before you read anything else about it.
You are right, it was a bit combative.

I was responding to brown9-2 though, not bbarn.

I read brown9-2's comment as saying that Slack is a good remote tool because it is marketed that way. I am not critical of people thinking it is a good tool, but the premise that what is said in marketing messages is true per definition.
TripleByte is literally the perfect example of a company that should be centralized. They work because they have a reputation that companies can trust. Trying to make it decentralized takes away any value that TripleByte provides.
"It's important to distinguish between what Chinese people wanted and what the administration wanted. The imperial administration's pursuit of mercantilist policy didn't mean that "The British could offer little in return that Chinese merchants wanted to buy." as the article incorrectly states."

I think it is mentioned in "On China" that, when they saw an army steam ship heading upwards a river in the war they realized, the west had something they should have bought: Technology and weapons.
> fixing the tools used by most users would be more important

This supposes that said tools are broken, which doesnt match my experience at all. Sure, there are obscure bugs in all software, but major issues are rare. If by fixing, you mean "I want tool A to be more like tool B", that's just a matter of opinion, and I personally find the relative abundance of opinionated software on Linux to be a benefit, not a hindrance.

> do everyone a favour and agree on using just the best one

Trying to decide on the "one best tool" and dumping the rest and is like trying to pick the "one best programming language" and dumping the rest.
In the future it’s worth noting that it’s a terrible idea to take something away from someone when you promised them something else. This is privacy in this case. On others it’s offering something for free and then charging for it.

Even if you wanted to make this an opt out feature the only sensible way to go about it is grandfathering in the old accounts into an opt in feature. Just like many companies grandfather in free customers while they charge new ones.

This is the foundation of trust.
SONIC is less mature but it's free and open source with the benefits and drawbacks that entails. For example, SONIC runs on a variety of different hardware so you could take advantage of that diversity without having to learn different NOSes.

Ten years ago switches were using 800 MHz single-core PowerPCs which was adequate to run Linux (although many were using VxWorks or whatever). Now the $400 switches are still wimpy but more expensive "disaggregated" switches are using Atoms or low-end Xeons.
> Grotesquely bound, I can't imagine the pain and what they looked like with the bindings removed

I wanted to link the Wikipedia page for Chinese foot binding, but last time I googled that my stomach turned by how disgusting bound feet look, to me at least. You will have to do the research yourself, sorry.

It's incredible how physical attractiveness is mostly a product of its time and culture.
And as the allegations are substantiated (such as in court) then they too should be shunned.
Thanks for the feedback!
Regarding your points:
1) I understand. I am trying to have some sort of ways to notify people when I post new stuff and somehow putting the newsletter signup in the post itself works best (as opposed to putting it at the end or somewhere else). It's hard to avoid breaking the flow of reading while making sure people see it.
2) I really could not resist praising how good the stoic writing are compared to all the self help fluff we see today. I think it is worth going against my thesis for that one.
This is why you don't release on a Friday.

Best case scenario you spend the whole weekend focused on whether the release went right...

Worse you spend the whole weekend cleaning a mess up.

Its pretty much always a lose/ lose.
> we simply put all of the phones in a box

> IT asked, "but how will we connect all of the phones?" my answer was, "no phones."

We've come so far in time, that I didn't connect that as a desk-phone reference & instead was still wondering how wireless wasn't related to "phone".

Also, about a decade ago my job had a "no phones" rule, which was that our mobile phones would be shoved into a lockbox when entering the R&D area.

The "no desk-phone" policy is almost universal recently, mostly because nobody can "step away" to talk something confidential and instead end up polluting the entire open office area with ringtones & otherwise irrelevant gossip fodder.
Similar claims were made in the early 1960s when high level language compilers arrived: "Computers will practically program themselves." "There will be little need for programmers anymore." Every new software technology since then has sometimes triggered similar claims.

Ongoing discussion with CEO responding:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23303037
Hi Ammon,

1. There is an opportunity.

2. You did lose a lot of trust.

3. You didn't have enough trust in the first place to really take advantage of this opportunity.

I would encourage you to think about how you can earn that trust. This comes back to transparency and checks-and-balances. If you want to go that route, you will need to build hard constraints: legal and technological constraints which would have prevented this in the first place which you can't later remove.

This shouldn't have been down the bad judgement by the CEO. I don't know you, but even if I did, the Board can toss you ought next month, and the next CEO might have worse judgement.

Baseline: Right now, your privacy policy is not bad. However, you can change it anytime. You can eliminate it in the case of sale. Etc. You're paying a lot in trust right now for abstract flexibility down-the-line. I would not give you a model of what I know with that privacy policy, and to get to your vision, you'd need my data.

Good: Think through how organizations engineer legal constraint (GPL, AGPL, CC-BY-SA, etc.) to build community and trust. Engage folks like Eben Moglen and Larry Lessig, and come up with robust ways where Triplebyte can be trusted to manage user data, without needing to trust the Triplebyte management team.

Your team has a fiduciary duty to maximize shareholder value. Down the line, you might become Google (which has a trillion dollars to lose if it breaks trust) or you might become Yahoo (which is now mining personal emails in really evil ways, since that's the most effective way to scrape out the last little bits of profit). I want to know that if you go the route of Yahoo, or other companies I trusted with my data which went south, you won't be able to weasel out.

You should figure problems like:

* What happens if you do have a problem? If my data leaks, will you be liable, or do I bear that cost? If you are, that sets up incentives for you to have proper security. Consider it a cost of business (you can get insurance too).

* How can I verify what happened to my data, as you send it off to partners and "trusted" affiliates?

* How do I know my data was properly de-identified (I don't believe this at all, at this point).

If you can build something really robust, it will go a long ways to making you into a Google, by ensuring you won't turn into a Yahoo. It's a trillion-dollar opportunity.
I couldn't get MacsBug to work in an emulator, but QEMU supports it just fine. I had different goals, but I think I might have enough about the process for it to still be useful: https://saagarjha.com/blog/2020/04/22/debugging-python-opera...

Eggs and milk are produced to be eaten (by the new organism) and are as close to "stuff produced to be eaten" that you get, perhaps. Super nutrient dense growth broths.

Seeds and legumes are meant to be eaten (by the new plant), but often have anti-plant-eater defenses (like cyanide), including in fruit. Eggs and milk do not seem to have such an analogue.

Fat stores are produced to be eaten (by the host itself), alas.
"market rate" is a metric that incorporates candidate salary expectations and geographic cost of living adjustments as well as many other things such as tax considerations?
On a): I agree that the article should have clearly stated that the verdict is from 2019.

As I knew this a priori from reading the news somewhere else first, I didn't notice this vagueness in the article before you wrote about it. Hence, let me thank you for making this clear to all readers here.
Well those companies exist right? Accenture, Cognizant, EPAM, etc.

If anything, I’d say Triplebyte hopes to be what those consulting companies are but to startups.

Now, if it turns out startups just have crappy budgets, then you have to lower the barrier to entry into the platform to accommodate those budgets.

Similarly, if you indoctrinate enough of new grads/bootcampers to feel like they need the Triplebyte cert (feeling left out that everyone is in Triplebyte and you’re not? Welcome to the psychological game, behold the public profile and badges), you can then also indoctrinate startups into thinking that’s the standard that they need to be looking for too.

Anyway, devs with enough experience should be out of this game mostly, this will affect the entry level tier of developers going forward. You might be stuck in the damn Triplebyte loop.
You never mentioned the language, so maybe Dapper?

Unfortunately the most vocal people are the only ones you’re hearing. I got the email and didn’t really care. My angel.co and LinkedIn are already public, why not Triplebyte too, especially if it raises my market value.

You are right, I read the emotion of your message wrong. I thought you meant that Slack IS a good tool for remote work because they say it is. You were reacting to the question of why people think it is.

Sorry for the hostile reaction either way, neither interpretation deserved that.
The 6ix9ine case is just a celebrity throwing a tantrum because his song didn't perform as well as he had hoped. Billboard explained its calculations and his song "Gooba", a typical "fuck the haters" number, simply didn't measure up to the competition.

https://pitchfork.com/news/billboard-responds-to-tekashi-6ix...

6ix9ine's songs are not very radio-friendly, and from a quality standpoint, have been universally panned by critics. The fact that he was convicted of a felony (use of a child in a sexual performance) does not help his commercial appeal.

On the other hand, Kazik Staszewski's "Your Pain Is Better Than Mine" is a song that criticizes Jarosław Kaczyński, the leader of the largest Polish political party. It was censored by a state-run radio station. The two incidents are not comparable.
I am talking about platforms with audiences, like Joe Rogan's show, other podcasts, and more traditional competitors like talk radio and cable news. Alex Jones has much more access to platforms like this than the vast majority of no-name people. I can shout into the void all I want here or on twitter or youtube without getting invited onto a big show. And that's not because they are censoring me, it's because they can only invite on a tiny number of people.
Just one step away from employee housing on site at xyz company. NO THANKS
Besides being cheaper and supporting more hardware, SONIC is more like a traditional NOS that runs on Linux but doesn't integrate with it. I would expect SONIC to be more familiar to Cisco CLI jockeys and Cumulus to be more familiar to Debian/Ubuntu sysadmins.
You're ignoring or missing the broader context:

1. The preceding sentence that I quoted specifically said the target was "young, white males". This already has nefarious undertones given current cultural trends, eg. look up media coverage for anything that targets "white males".

2. The claim that this group is the target, and in fact makes up most of the demographics is always asserted without any evidence. His audience is definitely predominantly male, but where's the evidence they're predominantly white? Once again, given the wider cultural context, this focus on white males has a negative undertone.

3. Finally and most importantly, it's asserting that Rogan is not simply being authentic and genuine, which contradicts Rogan's own words about his podcast. Which means the claim that his content is actually tailored again has very negative implications.

> You seem to be trying to litigate this on Hacker News, which is does not have the authority to issue you a refund. If you feel strongly about this, sue Intel. Most of us will not be joining you because we either rent CPUs from Amazon or are out a tiny amount of money for our personal rigs. Yup, this is "how they get you" and someone should be a check and balance on a defective product. But, most of us have no appetite to spend years or decades litigating this.

Part of the initial stages of a class action is verifying that there does indeed exist a class.

There's value in him talking about his grievance publicly and not just rolling over when he gets screwed by a corporation, just because that can beat him one on one in a legal brawl.

> We accept that our $200 wafer of silicon with 13nm features that can execute billions of mathematical operations is "good enough". Sometimes there are bugs. But we don't know how to make these things ourselves, so we deal with them and aren't really looking for a pound of flesh from Intel because the billions of instructions their CPUs can execute per second is a slightly lower number of billions.

I also can't build a modern car. Or insulin. Or a million other devices in my life. The bar isn't "you can only complain if you can make it yourself better", it's "you can complain if what was sold to you didn't meet it's advertised specifications".
I chose that number for easy math. The point is that rent grows less than half as quick as inflation, which is definitely unsustainable.

Wow, they had European users? They are fucked.

This is about a serious and willful GDPR contravention as you can get. I hope they have good lawyers because they are gonna be hauled over the coals by multiple countries' data commissioners.

My basic education in computer science consisted of going to the university library starting about 1977 and reading dusty old ACM and IEEE journals. I already knew how to program, my initial interest was following up an academic reference on run length compression in Dr. Dobbs Journal. In the dark (and cool) Arizona State University library I discovered a wondrous web of scientific and engineering literature related to computing.

At some point in the 80's academia took a turn away from accessibility. While the boom in public internet did skew things back towards freely available, there are a multitude of forces attempting to conceal the lamp of knowledge, usually behind a paywall. This subtopic is worthy of independent discussion.

This also reminds me to remember Aaron Swartz.
I think it is because in countries like Australia or the US you have to fill in tax return every year so people are used to claim stuff. In many countries regular wage slaves don't have to fill in those tax return, it is all deducted from your salary every month and that's it, only business owners fill those tax returns.
A steady current would also produce a rush of water, but I don't think you can get EM radiation with just a steady current.

Well, but maybe... if you equalize two water tanks with a very fat pipe it will swap forth and back, causing the whole assembly, table, and room to rock?
I'm not buying it. Just as MS Office didn't reduce admin work, but instead created whole new categories of busywork for executives to do, so new software frameworks are mostly just increasing the complexity of the overengineered solutions we create to address what are really just simple CRUD interface problems in the majority of cases. If only classic ASP in VBScript was still being security patched, I guarantee you the majority of web apps could be written in that to be so much faster and more responsive than any of these "modern javascript" front ends that have to make 78 different API calls across a fleet of microservices just to show part of a database table on a page... after the user has sat looking at some dumb spinning beach ball for 5-8 seconds. Naturally, you could maintain that shit with only one or two developers instead of the rooms full of fullstack devops rockstars that it takes to build even the most basic thing these days. Without a kubernetes cluster in sight. But as long as our entire industry continues to throw away basic architectural and performance principles in favour of embracing the new hotness, your jobs are safe. Enjoy the busywork, folks, and let's continue creating additional layers of abstraction and indirection to ensure the next generation requires even more armies of developers just to say "Hello, world."
I guess that's up to you, but I'd be genuinely curious as to what exactly "proves your point"? Is it the part about org-mode being installed by default? The difficulty of pressing C-c C-l? The difficulty of pushing Alt-arrow?

Be dismissive of my comment if you want, but I'm guessing you either didn't bother to read it or to understand it, because there's nothing in there that the vast majority of computer users don't already do.
exactly, this makes absolutely no sense for a small business. Managed DO / GKE is a much better idea, maintaining K8's is the last thing a small business should focus on.
