I did it on a P2 233 from Windows 98. The ease of trying BeOS 5 got me thinking about going beyond the DOS/Windows ecosystem at home and eventually led to linux.

Plus BeOS 5 had both Hotline (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotline_Communications) and IRC clients.
That’s an awesome illustration. I always wonder how much value people get from BASB

The list is nonsensical. If there is a copyright, it is owned by whoever is running the software. The legal owners. Any program with emergent properties could technically produce output that could be construed as art. Such programs have been around since decades. It isn't like we are on the verge of some new era where we have to consider computers or algorithms as equals or peers that deserve respect.
I am always worried about solutions like this -- what if one day, the human makes a mistake and deletes newest photos instead of the oldest ones? What if the VA I have chosen misinterprets my instructions and does nothing?

With programming, as long as I take reasonable precautions, I will know that either the task will get done, or I'll get notifications that something is wrong. With humans? Not so much.

(Let's just not forget "reasonable precautions" part -- there is a surprising amount of people who apply the sloppiest programming for the dangerous actions. People who think that "let's use date parser which auto-detects date format" and "any error code means we can delete document" are good ideas)
They were not denied by US immigration. United airlines flight staff told a H1B holder they weren't allowed on a flight to the USA.

This was based on speculation US immigration is not allowing H1B holders to enter. Airlines do not want fly passengers who risk being denied entry at their destination. Because if the passenger is denied entry and cannot afford their deportation flight fee, the airline must pay for it. So airlines err on the side of caution.

EDIT:

I checked the latest travel USA entry rules [1], and it looks like this person actually failed the COVID-19 travel restrictions. H1B visa holders are not allowed to enter the USA if they transit through Germany.

What this passenger should have done is fly somewhere outside Europe, then fly to the USA. Based on the rules, they should be allowed entry.

[1] https://www.iatatravelcentre.com/international-travel-docume...

For posterity, the rules published 08.06.2020 are:

1. Passengers who have transited or have been in Austria, Belgium, Brazil, China (People's Rep.), Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Iran, Ireland (Rep.), Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland or in the United Kingdom (excluding overseas territories outside of Europe), in the past 14 days are not allowed to enter the USA.

-This does not apply to:

- nationals and permanent residents of the USA;

- spouses of nationals and of permanent residents of the USA;

- parents/legal guardians of an unmarried and younger than 21 years national or permanent resident of the USA;

- the unmarried and younger than 21 years brother or sister of a national or permanent resident of the USA, who is unmarried and younger than 21 years;

- the child/foster child/ward of a national or permanent resident of the USA;

- passengers with the following visas: A-1, A-2, C-1, C-1/D, C-2, C-3, D, E-1(as an employee of TECRO or TECO or the employee's immediate family members), G-1, G-2, G-3, G-4, IR-4, IH-4, NATO-1 through NATO-4, or NATO-6 visa;

- members of the U.S. Armed Forces, spouses, and children of members of the U.S. Armed Forces;

- passengers with evidence of traveling at the invitation of the USA government for a purpose related to the containment/mitigation of the Coronavirus (COVID-19);

- passengers with documents issued by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, or U.S. Department of State indicating that the passenger is exempt from the restriction;

- B1 crew crewmembers that are engaged in lightering, Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) activity, wind farm activity, private air/sea crew and other similar crewmember actives.
To be fair, rust is a good systems programming language, for scenarios where correctness is important and runtime footprint must be small. I have no problems with it promoted as a good systems programming language. It seems much more modern than Ada or something and may lend itself better to formal verification.

What I hate is rust fanboys' propaganda that rust is great for every purpose including CRUD stuff because crab god moral and borrow checker is moral responsibility. There is lot of dishonest marketing sounding like rust doesn't have cognitive overhead compared to other languages. It gives me an impression that, in best case, it is selection bias among people that successfully learn and use rust, or in worst case, some people trying to show off that they learned a 'hard' language and it is 'easy' for them.

Secondly rust community is very political and polarising that many people don't like. It almost seems full of non-STEM-worthy people although they are a vocal minority..

"Locust capitalism" seems to be a verbatim translation of German "Heuschreckenkapitalismus", which is a phrase commonly in use to describe hedge funds and other large conglomerates buying other companies without regard for social issues like workers' jobs.
You are right, all media coverage is filtered. But that filter used to be considered something to be minimized, balanced out and carefully managed
I have to say I'm consistently impressed by NanoVG. Not because it does anything fancy, but because it doesn't. It's not the fastest or the most featureful vector renderer out there, but it resides in a very nice sweet spot that balances performance, features, and simplicity.

In general I've found NanoVG to have comparable performance to the master branch of Pathfinder. NanoVG currently performs better at text (PF's implementation is designed to get international text right first and optimization hasn't really been done yet), while PF generally does better at complex vector workloads like the tiger.
Nice! Reminds me of when people used to call scraping Windows off a computer "defenestrating" it.

The thing is, most romantic relationships fail. If it’s someone you met online or even a friend of a friend, you likely won’t see them that often after you break up, which is decidedly not the case for a colleague. So while it might work out with a colleague, and the odds aren’t even that bad, more caution is warranted.

Of course, it’s probably not terrible advice to tell everyone in a breakup to treat their soon-to-be ex as if they will one day be your manager. It’s just not likely that everyone will be able to follow through.
> then will GCC begin to lose relevance?

That has already began. For example all the popular browsers (Chrome and all the derivatives, FF, Safari) moved away from GCC.

Why don’t you guys work with local schools or colleges or bootcamps and send this to them?

I think that would be great.

Me personally, I’m too old for this kind of presentation.

Great for K-12 kids though.

Small lesson for those seeking lessons - Always know your audience.

My patronizing response to your patronizing conduit.
Quite possibly; I only intended to comment on booting/firmware issues. It depends on your goal, too; I'd be quite happy to see RISC-V servers (headless) and desktops (separate video card). Basically, give me a 100% libre SoC/CPU+motherboard and I'm personally happy to worry about the rest later. Also depending on your specific goals and ideology, there's no reason you couldn't make a RISC-PI that just licensed a proprietary video core; that'd still make you more open-source than today's Pi, which has a proprietary CPU and GPU.

and this is ine of the reasons linux is a dud as a desktop os. there is no 'malware' here. the guy went to the company's official site. downloaded their official installer. running that should now do the install and figure out whatever else it needs. like it does on windows.

yes, if you download and install malware that's bad. no one asked you to be the nanny -just di what you were asked.

Page 8 has footnote 29. Paragraphs aren't numbered. It doesn't name competitors there so I'm pretty confused.

However page 7 does say:

Examples
include Amazon’s growing ads business, Verizon (which purchased AOL and

Alibaba – one of China’s largest digital ad providers that recently...

The reference in that quote include footnote 29. Perhaps you are confusing footnotes/references with the substantive response?
Yup I have seen that. Just seeing how intricate the roof is on his house has really given me a new appreciation for that style of building.
Being a part of the IEEE Computer Society student branch chapter of my college, I can say that it helped me gain good connections and it also opened up opportunities to contribute to local initiatives. So it was a good thing for me as a student!

A lot of those homes are difficult to retrofit with decent heating and insulation. I had a friend thattried this with an old Beijing hutong whose bones simply weren’t designed for central heating. You can put in something, but it will be expensive and/or ineffective.

Brits in the Austen period distinguished between attributes, acquisitions, and accomplishments. The first are things one is born with and keep until death, such as eye colour. The second are things one has bought and may sell. The last are things one has done, or has learned how to do. You may not be able to acquire instances of 'architecture porn', but you can enjoy them (and may even be able to rent them), and very little keeps you from accomplishing things.
Agreed. You can't completely avoid it as we're running on a framework (and libraries) that's based on C#, but we architect our code such that these messy edges that interface with the outside world are implemented once, creating a nice walled garden for the rest of the F# code inside.
I lived in NYC for 10+ years and I’m so glad I left. You’re trapped. No personal space. If the city closes bridges and tunnels you have no ability to egress unless you want to break the law or rent a helicopter.

Now that I live in a rural area I can be self sufficient for a few weeks, I’m armed, and my local neighborhood watches out for each other.

I feel completely safe where I’m at and I couldn’t imagine going back to dense/city life.

The Facebook algorithm is not based on what people want to read.

It is based on what makes people the most upset. That’s what makes people stop what they were doing before, and click.

That’s what Facebook is built to do: elevate content that “stops the thumb”. This is a direct quote from a FB rep advising my employer on how to perform better on Facebook. Here’s another one: “don’t be reasonable, be extreme. You need to stand out.”

Imagine if you picked anything else that way. Only making friends with people who make you the most upset. Only eating foods that make you the most upset. Only dating people who make you the most upset. Is that a good life or bad life?
See if you can find any books about assembly language programming for the 8086 (or 8088) and the 80286. Just those two should give enough context for why things are the way they are on the x86 line.
It looks like the main fruit of this is piet-gpu[1]. How close would you say it is to stable? And how complete a realisation of the concepts put forth in the OP? I'm currently working on a ui library, and evaluating alternatives for hw acceleration. The whole library wants to be in c, so I would want to rewrite the library by release-time to use it, but don't want to waste time doing that now if it's still really volatile.

Yes, please do! My job involves a lot of math, so it a dealbreaker for me when notetaking software doesn't have math support. These days it's very easy to include! The easiest way is to use KaTeX [1] to render math between dollar sign tags for inline math like this $x+y=5$ and for display math like this:

$$
\int_a^b f(x) dx
$$

Many markdown parsers (like markdown-it) have plugins for math support. In the future, I would also heavily recommend looking into using ProseMirror [2] for wysiwyg Markdown editing.

(I'm currently working on adding wysiwyg math editing to ProseMirror -- see the gifs here [3] for an early proof of concept).

For anyone with a serious interest in traditional Japanese houses, the best book in English is by Heinrich (Heino) Engel "The Japanese house: a tradition for contemporary architecture". It goes through everything from climate to philosophy to woodworking.

A few of its chapters were later republished in a smaller version you can borrow free from zlib here: https://b-ok.global/book/2696550/f47105

I think DriveEncryption needs a few tweaks now that Beta2 is out to work again, but it's been around for quite a long time. It was made by one of the foremost kernel developers who certainly knew what he was doing. I think it's based on TrueCrypt, though he may have updated it to VeraCrypt at some point...

Here's the GitHub, anyway: https://github.com/axeld/driveencryption
Codomain and range are not the same - range is the set of numbers that actually come out, codomain is like, some kind of set that those numbers are drawn from like the integers (I'm not even sure, but it has never mattered enough for me to find out). For the case of a bijection of course the codomain and range are going to be the same, but not in general.

But, there are ocassional renamings of things that usually improve the overall lingo. Some things I learned one way but they have now been renamed. E.g. I learned about 'one-to-one and onto' functions instead of 'bijective' functions. I think you'll agree 'bijective' is better than 'one-to-one and onto'.

The same happens in programming languages and libraries when they rename functions from time-to-time. For a while there are inconsistencies whilst both are in use, sometimes permenently if the new name comes about by a creation of a new programming language or dialects.

It's true that searching for a strange symbol you don't know the name of (or even have the unicode character - if it exists - on hand) is hard. If you knew they were called "blackboard-bold Z" you'd be able to find out via google what it meant pretty easily.

(I am totally assuming you mean blackboard bold by writing ZZ and NN, otherwise I also don't know what those mean)
Where are you going to store this thing? Pay for the power? Cool it? Replace failing hardware?

As someone who works for a company with over 150 data centers around the world, I know space and power is always one of our biggest expenses.
I have read many of Taibbi's past articles with enthusiasm and he makes some interesting arguments in the present article, but to be clear, he has an axe to grind on this very issue.
He himself was essentially cancelled for some pretty indefensible and egregious "journalism" early in his career.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/the-two-expat-bros-wh...

Furthermore, hes engaged here in some light cherry-picking.
For instance, Taibbi references a called-out UCLA professor, who is white, and whose primary offense seems to not be reading MLK's treatise but using the n-word in the process- that seems like a detail worth mentioning?
Generally speaking, the LEA instruction will never modify the flags, while ADD and SHL will.
definitely good advice
Now, it’s unfair to leave your audience hanging like that.
Not very, and not very. This is research, it depends on compute capabilities that have really only gone mainstream in GPU lately, and the current codebase is about trying out the ideas. Best of luck in your project!
Sold. I’ll take a look.
fuck ya I used to loadlin from win98, first thing I thought when I saw this post. I had some distro that didn't even need a real disk partition too, it just used a directory on the windows partition as it's root fs
So you have a comparison between unrest in Chinese people who are starting families and those that are not? You keep trying to push this analogy into a territory where the evidence is a lot stronger than what you've given. You compared the country to other countries, and it's analogous to comparing a city with a higher cancer rate to a city with a higher smoking rate and saying that smoking cannot cause cancer.

Data suggests that social unrest in China has increased in correlation with incel count. I would count that as supporting evidence for the theory above. But you're saying, correct me if I'm wrong, that, because the initial rate of unrest was so low, and the increase didn't push that rate above that of other countries, incels cannot be a causal factor in unrest?

Help me understand where we disagree here. What part of ´inability to start a family->unhappiness->social unrest' do you think is questionable?
Yeah, Unix utilities and the whole text processing paradigm can do some amazing things if you know how to design for it. I’ve been doing some Cloudformation work recently, and it’s so easy just to throw together dashboards to watch the progress and outcome of a deploy.
Hey Gus, you might be interested in https://pricelinepartnernetwork.com/ (take a look at the API part for example)

(Disclaimer: I work for priceline).
One use case that came immediately to my mind is virtual texturing (think megatextures like in id Tech 5) or virtual geometry (...which in current hardware can be implemented via virtual texturing). The texture pages can take a TON of disk space so compressing those is important. But you can load (or mmap) the entirety of each page and you know beforehand how big each page will be in memory.

(though all that assumes LZMA decompression is fast enough)

I had to look around for the walkthrough video and later realized that tapping on the icon on the top left launches it. There was no indication or clue for me on mobile that the icon was a link to a video.
I think such “stockpiling” will first create mediocre reimplementations of DBs & web frameworks before fixing all issues by sticking a redis up front. I don’t think Twillio is that kind.

In this case though, this looks like a genuine external facing effort
You can just store it at the datacenter.

Many of them offer a service which allows you to drop off your hardware and they will manage the power, cooling, even repairs and replacement for a monthly fee.

> Despite Parker’s denial, many in the crossword world see willful plagiarism in Parker’s puzzles, and they see the database that revealed the repetition as a tool of justice. “It’s like a murder mystery solved 50 years later with DNA evidence,” Matt Gaffney, a professional crossword constructor, told me.

There's a response to postmodernism that says "reality is that which, when you ignore it, doesn't go away".

I have a hard time seeing this as a "scandal"; it's firmly in the class of things that aren't a problem unless someone tells you you have a problem. A murder has victims. But if you're unhappy that the crossword puzzle you solved last week was secretly a rerun from 10 years ago, it's not obvious whether the blame for your unhappiness should go to the guy who reran the puzzle, or the guy who told you it was a rerun.
I believe the title should be a Shown HN for this.
> Material UI uses a very similar theming system. The interface of the theme itself is different, but that seems to be about it there.

Material UI implements Material UI by default and this is the main reason why it's hard to customize. Too much to change. I guess this is one of the reasons why there are not that many custom themes available for this library.
I tried installing a modern Xubuntu desktop on a 3B+ a few weeks ago. You can hardly even open Chromium or Firefox these days (maybe with a lighter desktop it would be slightly better)...

The HiFive Unleashed was released (and for sale) back in 2018. From memory, there was a limited run (priced at US$1k each), as it was targeted to specific types of developers looking to do further work improving the platform.

For example, Red Hat bought some and used them for improving the RISC-V support in Fedora. From memory, Richard Jones (@rwmj here on HN) was involved with it.

I think the difference historically and this is true for conservative parts of the developing world today is that parents would spend a lot of effort getting their kids into a marriage, often in a semi-ritualistic manner which involved mutual meetings of the family, extended family background checks etc. (to state my bias, I found my wife in such a process)

The result is that someone who has been through the dating process is guiding the younger generation + there is a lot of checking for compatibility dangers that could take a while to emerge in a normal dating situation.
In America today this is often socially unacceptable, more from the kid's side than the parent's side. So young men often navigate the dating world with little guidance from the previous generation. I feel like the dominant message to parents these days is to stay away from their kids dating lives as much as possible, and while there is some merit to that message, it does leave the younger generation with less of a straight road to a marriage.
Neat! I know python and wanted a quick primer in NumPy syntax recently for a quick data analysis, this is perfect. Would be nice if the input box was automatically focused when advancing to the next question.
