"That being said, I don't consider it unreasonable to not believe that collapse is likely to happen by 2030, so please, don't feel attacked by my beliefs."

Triple negative? Quadruple negative? (If we count the second "don't".)

Compare something like:

"I consider it reasonable to believe that collapse is unlikely to happen by 2030, so please, don't feel attacked by my beliefs."

It is almost as if the grammatical structure reflects the life perspective of the author.
It was neither shallow nor snarky. That's just your projection upon it.

I think it's merely pithy and direct.

You make it sound like posters should write some epic multi-paragraph thumbsucker and then add a tl;dr to the top. No need for a tl;dr with mine.
That's not a double standard. That's just a standard. When one group of people is holding signs that say "stop murdering people" and the other group is holding signs that say "I need a haircut," and you're mad that "the commenters" are not treating them the same, the problem is not with the commenters.
It's odd to compare C and Forth. They are so different.

Edit: as someone below mentioned there can not be a 'Standard Forth'. You just write your own one as you see fit.
Huge fan of Elon and Warren buffet. But I always wonder would they be who they are by lurking on HN trying to improve themselves? And they certainly didn’t get where they are by being on hn or similar forums. Even thought I don’t know them personally I feel The way they built their knowledge was in Avery different way thst you and I might be going about based on the click baity thread we are talking at currently. In that sense may be HN is a waste of time too?

The more I think about this the more I feel is thst we have it wrong. I think what they have is focus. I think what we have is distractions by virtue of seeking things thst improves us and on the internet there are so many of them that one may be all over the place. He who chases two rabbits catches none.
One can support the rights of any americans to freely assemble while being puzzled and horrified at the reason for the protest. To wit: I would support the right of assembly for anti-vaccination advocates and would support the ACLU in defending those rights. Hoewever, I feel that Anti-vaccination advocates are wrong, their actions are destructive and they horrify me.
I cannot provide a good answer for this. I do believe that Descartes’ Meditations are perhaps the most misinterpreted.

This is what people reference when they say: I think, therefore I am. I find that is not at all accurate to the writing. Really it says a thinking machine that can doubt can doubt away all things but doubting itself so then that ability must exist.
I joined a fintech in London (as a contractor) and the first couple of hours were roughly:

1. A couple of intro meetings with other new contractors or joiners. We were shown around the office and what not. We were told whom to contact in what situation.

2. I logged into my machine, where everything was already installed and set up. I git pull'ed the code and hit F5 (Run in Visual Studio) and the application started and it just worked, no scripts needed to run, nothing to config. To be fair their products were pretty simple, however they took great care in making sure that you were able to run the code with minimal to no subtle prerequisites. There was a README file there, but I don't think I used it too much because everything was intuitive.

Shortly after I joined a company with exactly the opposite environment. It took me at least two weeks to set up my machine so I could run most of their applications. By the time I left (over one year later) I was still not able to run at least two of their major products. I had given up many months earlier.
My prediction is that hand washing turns out to be unimportant.

I believe the vast majority of cases are transmitted by respiration, and the recent news that super-spreaders dominate transmission will eventually find that they spread the disease by air, not by contact or fomites.

I have yet to see any evidence that washing hands reduces transmission by any significant amount (say 5%).
Instead of destroying local businesses and terrorizing innocent people in their own cities, maybe they should be targetting the rich multinational corporations? Those corps will bend over for basically anything if to avoid backlash and protect their profits.

If BLM could get enough people to boycott corporations who have benefitted from this status quo, then they could force them to push through the changes they want.

If you have numbers, theres a bunch of things you could do without even stepping outside, let alone go and protesting, causing mayhem and chaos for our essential workers during this pandemic. My idea may not be the right one, they'll have to figure it out.

That isn't a double standard but a fundamental result of judgement of costs, values, and outcomes. Somebody who shoots an armed and dangerous spree shooter is lauded as heroic while someone who shoots a kid thought they was shoplifting a one dollar drink is regarded as a psychopath with no regard for human life. Circumstances and outcomes vary, a form of 'neutrality' that ignores that fundamentally isn't a useful metric.
Yes, I did a post-bac program. But you don't need a program; you can just take the prerequisite courses: physics, chemistry, organic chemistry, and biology.

PA is a tough program, and very competitive today; it's not much different from med school (shorter, though).

I'm not sure if PA programs offer a medical masters program, but many med schools do: a 24 month degree program featuring two semesters of coursework that is identical to the first year of medical school followed by two semesters of other stuff including thesis. Usually people do it to prove to themselves and to med schools that they have what it takes; it significantly improves their chances of admission. Probably would help with PA as well. I wish I had done a medical masters degree and that would have helped me either pass med school, or realize it wasn't for me!

PA is also different in that it is rooted in the Vietnam era, giving a pathway to war medics who have lots of field experience but lack the schooling and credentials of med school. To get into PA school, you're expected to have around 1,000 hours of field work -- volunteering, EMT, nursing, etc. This may have changed recently, but was true 10-12 years ago for sure.

I've spoken to quite a few M.D.s who said they wish they had chosen PA -- a shorter path, less stress, and very satisfying.
Recalibrate your assessment with the 14-21 day incubation rate factored in and with a critical eye on states like Florida, who are actively trying to minimize reported cases/deaths.
Public health is concerned with the health of the public -- which includes health issues induced by stress, poor nutrition, pollution, etc. (Ever notice how African Americans' life expectancy is much lower than that of white Americans? Public health experts have. They study it.) So, in this case, they're calculating that making strides against inequality will be worth the cost of more COVID-19 cases.
Thanks for sharing. They’re obviously inspired by that one from a materials point of view, but the technical implementation is far different. There are some major limitations on the YouTube one. First of all, it’s a potentiometer not a rotary encoder, so it has a start and a stop. Second, it is controlling an audio signal directly, not using a PC, so it is not usable in the same way. Audio would need to be routed through the knob. This wouldn’t work for a setup like mine that has balanced outs directly from a sound card to my monitors. I would want a digital control. I’m not sure why the YouTube video recommends a linear pot specifically either, an audio taper pot should be used which is logarithmic. The one in the OP also has a push button which opens up more functionality.

Though maybe people are going to say it's overdone.
I've seen a couple of comments in this direction across sites and would like to take a moment to point out that while advertisements are certainly annoying and a hassle, the root of the problem comes with the mining of behavior data that is then transformed into profile packages sold for advertising (and whatever other) purposes.

So, even if a browser is blocking ads, or changing the way ads are interacted with, the more important worry (imo) is whether the browser (or its features) are successful in blocking the behavior profile being built by aggregators such as Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc.
My mental image for this is the Protoss Carriers from Starcraft.
There are no "positive" outcomes in that sort of situation.

Being able to prove that you cannot possibly decrypt the partition, moves you out of the XKCD 538 scenario.

That is a "much less negative" outcome.

Invention != innovation. They're two different things. People in this thread are confusing the two rather painfully. The title of the thread refers to innovation.

Innovate: "make changes in something established, especially by introducing new methods, ideas, or products"

That's exactly what Slack did. Slack was innovative. It didn't invent chatting on the Internet.
If they love it, perhaps they do because it proves what they have been saying: that this has been politicized from the get-go, in so many ways, and all of the staunch denials of it become ever more ludicrous as this continues. Don't worry, the WHO says that there is no human-to-human transmission, China told them. Don't buy masks. What are you doing without a mask on, do you just hate the elderly? Anyone re-opening early is going to destroy America. But get out and protest! The Lancet has assured us that Trump as usual didn't know what he was talking about.

On and on.

They love it because, like anyone, they love being proven right. If you want them not to love it, then do not prove them right.

We shouldn't have let politics drive all of our COVID-19 policies and responses, but we did, now it is evident, and we're going to have to pay for that with a loss of trust.

There has been OpenFirmware.
Public assembly is critical, yes. So is the ability to work, run a business, get married, and engage in social gatherings.

Either COVID-19 is serious enough that it merits cancelling a bunch of “critical” features of normal life, or it isn’t.
You say it never happens? But it does. And even if it's not 100% theft, the author is still hurt by 50% theft.

This is not hypercapitalism. It's hyperfairness. We all have a right to control our work and how it is used by the world. If you don't want to buy my book, write your own.

a propos this I just thought of a writer who I used to follow at the beginning of the millennium. I'm not going to mention their name, and I think their articles were not bullshit per se, but... whenever I downloaded the code for his longer articles and tried to run it locally there were always lots of bugs (although to be fair I only did this for the really complicated things he wrote and only 3-4 times)

Just crazy that I would spend hours working on it to get it to work, I was always weirded out by it. This guy was sort of famous. Smaller bits of code were always fine and he had some pretty cogent insights on things, but big bits of code was just not working without significant rewrites.

To be fair perhaps this was a different time and things not working reliably was more widespread, I reemmber this article I wrote for SitePoint in 2008 https://www.sitepoint.com/rewrite-web-chickenfoot/ (please excuse me if too much bullshit, but I was less old) got a remark from the editor that testing took longer than normal, which I was of course surprised by because such is the time-honored reaction of a programmer when the code works on their own machine.
But there are clear enforceability issues with trying to establish "protests are allowed unless they're crazy" as a rule. Who gets to decide what's crazy?
There is a difference between a couple dozen cosplaytriots showing up with guns to protest not getting a haircut and a hundred thousand+ of the general public showing up without guns to protest people getting killed and maimed live on camera--including the press.

However, if you want to talk about double standard, where are the cosplaytriots who were sooooo concerned about their rights? Where is the groundswell of Second Amendment defenders out protecting these protests against the government like the Black Panthers did back in the 1960's?

They all bluster about standing up to the government--here is the time. So why is silence all I hear? Seems like they don't really care about those pesky rights so much, after all. And it seems like they don't really like standing up when the government might actually shoot back. Cowards.
IMO the stakes are different. Often quoted is self driving cars must be 10x safer then humans before society accepts them. For drones we'll take 10% worse performance, we are OK to some extant of misfires particularly in a remote village in a 3rd world country. If drones cost 1/10 of a plane it will be a obvious answer for any general.
> Probably

Definitely :-)
You aren't getting what I'm trying to say - the market for competent 9-5 is also missing developers - it's not that there aren't any - it's that demand > supply - which is why OP is worried about his employees leaving - it's not like he can go out there with a job posting and have 5 competent applicants in a week. You will have to pay recruiters serious money and hope to get lucky on competent leads - so "there are plenty" argument is BS.
The account someone posts something from has nothing to do with the validity of their argument.
Define mess. Anchor links also make the back button move around on the same page.
First we will see if all the memorial day barbecues caused a spike. And all the preemptive reopening orders in different states.
Another story of exile worth reading is that of Rousseau's, as detailed by Sebald in "A Place in the Country." It's interesting to think about what modern western democracy would be like if Exile were still a valid political action. In some sense, not being able to post your views on Twitter/Facebook/MainstreamSite is the closest equivalent, and yet of course it's not the same thing. Are Snowden and Assange the only modern exiles from Western countries? Rousseau was thrown out for challenging the legitimacy of the church; Dante was thrown out for opposing the Pope; those who can exile, and those who can be exiled, reveal a lot about who is in Power and that by which they cannot abide.
I've been to such event, though wasn't a regular and it was more of an alternative gathering. That was before all the web services, but nowadays there's ie. meetup, and college/university is bound to have something too: https://www.meetup.com/topics/philosophy/

Meetup could be a good place to connect about lots of stuff. Don't be surprised if the thing finds you, but one need to be open to try new and unplanned experiences.
> they just don't have many new features.

The feature cadence over a 2-year period doesn't look any different to me. The only change is you're getting piecemeal changes faster vs. a large number of changes all at once.

You're stopping short of spelling out your conclusion.

The aims of the protests are to shine a spotlight on police brutality and qualified immunity / defund the police / ensure that killer cops are prosecuted / damage property in pursuit of anarchy / score a new TV / whatever. It's all fairly clear and makes enough sense.

Your idea, however, leaves us with nothing but a knowing look and an appeal to not trust the narrative. If you can read any broader frustration here, it's because all the "but what about white folks?" people in my social circle have been following the same playbook.

So where does it go? Does your argument conclude that the police should be harsher still towards black people? Does it suggest that police who kill should suffer less scrutiny than they presently do? Is the status quo fine, and the resolution should be that everyone just shut up and go home?

What's your call to action here, and what would be the immediate real-world consequences of your worldview?
I think part of the problem is that publishers did a bad job of pricing their digital products and missed an opportunity to increase sales volume. In my opinion they got greedy thinking they could increase volume and prices at the same time, so digital products were priced way too high.

I had a Safari Books subscription for a little while, but I got rid of it. I can't remember the exact pricing, but IIRC it was around $250 / year for the cheap option that let me "borrow" 10 books a month. The problem for me was that I'd typically buy 2-3 books per year ($100-$150) and I owned more than 10 books total, so the subscription seemed like a bad deal by comparison. The "unlimited" (with limited downloads IIRC) was $500+ / year. That's a lot of books.

O'Reilly could have been the Spotify of tech books, but old school publishers were too scared to reassess their pricing. When the cost of distribution plummets, but results in a worse (ie: more expensive), product for your customers, it's not a shock to see those businesses struggle IMO, especially when the competition is free and "good enough".
Never. Those things will get burnt by laser weapons if they are too small to be efficiently targeted by cannons and missiles. They also won't have range, payload for missiles with range, etc.
Those are too small for a sizeable contingent of drones the size of small fighter jets. I was thinking along the lines of small aircraft carriers.
I'm the only administrator and we have meetings running 7 nights a week.

I'd quite like to not have to unexpectedly sacrifice 4 hours of my time finding a bug in the config. Nor do I really want to spend (at least) a weekend to double check all the install/config works correctly to start with.

I'm busy enough with the day job without starting a second one. I admin this voluntarily and I'd rather work smart, not hard.

EDIT: You can see my reply to the parent for user side technical effort. A helpful hint might be to think about this problem in people terms, rather than systems terms.
improved 'remove sticky', some websites set overflow on BODY element itself, or get cute with whole document class, this will catch those.

javascript: (function() {
void([].forEach.call(document.querySelectorAll('body*'), e => /fixed|sticky/.test(getComputedStyle(e).position) && e.parentNode.removeChild(e)));
document.body.style.overflow = 'auto';
document.body.style.height = 'auto';
document.all[0].removeAttribute("class")
})()
This is a baffling argument.

Far more lives are threatened by coronavirus today than will be threatened by police brutality over the next several decades [1]. You're basically saying that immunocompromised and elderly persons are acceptable collateral damage.

One thing that's been lost in the noise is that death by police brutality is a vanishingly small problem: less than 0.0003% of the population per year (and most of those are White people).

And the ultimate irony is far more Black people are going to die as a result of these protests (since Black communities are disproportionately affected by the virus) than will be saved by whatever temporary curtailment of police brutality this yields.

Those are the real facts. Not the alternative ones you and people like you would like us to focus on. It's like it suddenly became acceptable to wantonly suspend rationality because it suits certain interests.

I think that's a better headline personally...
And yet the comments speaking favorably of the government are the ones that are being heavily downvoated.
The AT&T Hobbit chips were designed to run C, and were used in the AT&T EO portable tablets. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT%26T_Hobbit It was entirely stack-based. Another 'stack' machine was the HP-3000.
If this gets you interested in z80 hardware, I would recommend building an RC2014: https://rc2014.co.uk/

I built an RC2014 after CollapseOS was posted last year, and thoroughly enjoyed it.

I ended up adding a front panel, complete with switches and lights, to allow toggling in and executing code without a ROM, and also wrote a HTTP/1.0 server for CP/M (which was an enormous headache for lots of different reasons). Never did get around to running CollapseOS on it though.
This is exactly one of the points I was trying to make. 90% of of the other meetings in our eco-system of meetings use Zoom. Adding additional barriers is something we have to try and avoid in our use case.
Why are they taking this position. Simple, it cost them nothing to do so all the while letting them claim they understand. This is nothing more than #hashtag politics. A do nothing stance because no risk is taken

So yes of course there is risk. However as with anything political no honest discussion is permitted. This is why people calling out the violence and looting are being hushed or intimidated because politicians don't want to talk about that side of the issue. The same politicians who have been building up the police state in blue cities for generations.
For my one friend it started with gear companies reaching out to him offering him free gear. Then he became friends with other YouTubers who told him to start charging. Nowadays it’s a mix between outreach and inbound.
