Acorn Archimedes was where I learnt to code properly. Our teacher (Bruce Dickson, legend) said that we weren't allowed to play games on the Archimedes machines unless we coded them. I completely transparent ploy, we knew we were played but it worked. I made a game called Stick Fighter and a tanks game.

My favourite app was called Euclid, which was a 3D app like Blender. I built cities, an American semi truck and all manner of stuff. My love of gaming and 3D continues today.
I moved on from a BBC B to an Archimedes. Still have both machines in my basement. As I had to use a PC for the IT studies back in those days, I used a PC emulator. This allowed me to use Pascal and other stuff when needed. So I didn't get an 'IBM compatible' until much later.
Waste is very subjective. When you have 100x the supply of something, it becomes cheaper to do stuff, which means other more valuable resources can be saved instead.

We don't manage "information" as much as we do abstract objects. You can have a 5 mebibyte, gibibyte or tebibyte objects, and they will still consume the same amount of mental capacity.

The switch to a new wireless standard is not a cliff, it will happen gradually, there is no need to throw away everything at once. Energy per bit transferred is lower for 5G devices, which makes them more efficient in the future to compensate the need to transfer more bits.

But is it so really?

Last year there were articles about how Facebook sdk collects data from each app that integrates it, even before you login with Facebook. To me it still looks like a much wider data collection than what a single app can do.
> Grassroots?

Monero has no premine, dev tax and is a 100% open source project with volunteer contributors. It's about as grassroots as it gets in the cryptocurrency space.

> so the vast majority of XRM was "mined" by a small group of traditional speculative capitalists.

While the cripple mine happened, it only lasted a couple weeks and all of these coins were sold at market value. Monero was worthless for the first couple years.

Monero has a tail emission / infinite supply making it fairer than fixed supply coins.

In the SV investor mind he went from running a company of creative people to running a different company of creative people. What those people actually do doesn't really matter. "CEO skills" transfer between companies quite well.

> Nazism, on the other hand, is an inherently evil ideology. Hopefully, I don't have to explain why.

The situation I was referring to has nothing to do with the Nazis: it was after WW2 when the East/West conflict ramped up and Berlin was divided in two sectors (Soviet/Western controlled), but surrounded by the Soviet controlled sector of Germany. The Soviet Union then decided to enact a blockade to stop transports to West Berlin and starve the population to force the Western Allies to give up Berlin. It's what lead to the massive air transport operation dubbed "Raisin Bombers" that sustained the West Berlin population.

> And once again, you've mistakenly conflated communism with totalitarianism (which is what 1984 is actually about).

Yeah, yeah, "this time, it will all be different, we won't have concentration camps, we won't have purges, we won't have mock trials". At some point you can accept that some mechanism in your system leads to the undesired outcome, and that, even if you have not yet discovered it, there is most likely a causal relationship.
Good deal though for Aicha Evans, I'm sure!

While learning about another tech stack is lots of fun for an engineer, I believe that great products aren’t written by great tools. They’re built by great engineers. A great tool helps but is not sufficient to build a great product.
>I don't think its quite accurate to say Canon sensors hold anyone back. Canon photographers continue to win awards, continue to create world-class images, etc, etc. Canon gear is very well represented in the professional photography community.

I don't think photography is where the concern lies these days. All medium/flagship cameras from major brands today are more than good enough for photography, commercial, sports, landscape, advertising, editorial, or whatever...

It's more about the video...

This is true. The privacy threat model of an iPhone is absolute trust in Apple that has more control over your device than you do. For me, it doesn't compute.
Of course. More fabs means more competition and better robustness across the industry.

In a perfect world, It'd be nice for Nikon to build a fab with the lithography equipment they already produce.
>Yes, people are aware that articles on controversial topics can fluctuate

From the perspective of my comment, youve already drifted too far into the population who know too much about the inner workings and trends of the site. A person saying "whered you read that, wikipedia" probably wouldnt know about site controversies, or specific biases.

OpenAI's Model Glow – The Representations Must Flow
I do agree there was too much discouragement about using masks early on. Of course that was also because authorities wanted to prevent a mask shortage for hospitals, but encouraging people to make their own (as people did later) could still have helped. A mask does not make you immune, and other measures remain important, but a mask is still likely to help at least a bit.
Why does it suck? We try to ensure that everyone's voice is heard plus remote members have some advantage in that people in the room can see them unmute as an indicator that they have something to say. Some also use the text chat attached to the meeting allowing them to raise a point without verbally interrupting the person speaking (although this is more rare).

Seems pretty extreme to require everyone to dial-in even if they are present in the office.
There are lots of fabs, but not all specialize in techniques used for imagers (like backside illumination). I worked in LCOS and we had one vendor qualified that could produce a shinier metal layer -- something most fabs wouldn't care about, but directly affected our brightness & power consumption.
With any financial instruments there are those for who it is a worse deal than alternative. With Bitcoin you have great volatility, but it has been mostly upwards. If you have made loss you are probably minority of the user/investor base.

For example, the current ATH was nearly $20k, and the current price is $9k. If you were unlucky enough to buy at ATH, you are down to 40%. Thats still not that bad situation - for example with stocks it is easy to find bets where you lose 90%.

Unless your work involves helping people, treating or educating them, that's basically most industries, no?

Automotive, aerospace, consumer electronics, travel, advertising, mining, shipping, food, meat, chem, pretty much anything related to consumerism, all hurt society or the environment to some degree in order to benefit their customers and shareholders.

SW engineers are an easy target for the mainstream media since "they're paid huge sums for just sitting in front of a screen all day so they can't be adding much value to society as a physical laborer for example".

Edit: Of course, the main thing is if the damage done to society or the environment is outweighed by the benefits provided in return such as the food, energy and pharma industry.

Evem 99.999% is not good enough be enough because you will have at least one person that is guaranteed a false arrest and prosecution (which 90%+ prosecuted take a plea deal). There is inaccuracy with other methods as well but you have humans being held accountable. When it comes to justice,mistakes are tolerable so long as adequate compensatiom exists but when the mistake is systemic it becomes intolerable due to the preexisting guarantee of a mistake as opposed to a specific human making an error as a matter of chance. This is all exacerbated by other systemic cruelties of the US justice system where even an arrest and release for no cause means days if not weeks of imprisonment and if charged most people accept a plea bargain deal regardless of actual guilt. It's better to let actual guilty criminals get away than explicitly and systemically accept even one innocent person being punished incorrectly, because among other reasons, the justice system has legitimacy because its goal is to administer justice, accepting any amount of injustice invalidates that legitimacy and authority.

A good analogy would be a chef tolerating fecal matter in their food. Yes, there is always some small chance of that happening, but no one accepts food from s chef that explicitly treats toilet water and claims 99% of the fecal matter is gone and only one in 100 people will get sick from it.
Yes, but not all programming languages are Turing complete. Type 3 languages, for example, are not Turing complete.

It reads like a research paper, that's why it's bad. It could start off something along my description of the topic in layman's terms before getting into the technical details which are often not relevant.

Wikipedia is a general purpose encyclopedia, not directed towards any particular group of people. But many articles are written towards people that are highly-educated in the field the topic is in, which kind of misses the point.
gotta try and hide from the Google robot that you're just a content farm monetising other people's copyrighted content somehow. you'll note the recipes are always "adapted from" somewhere else with a minor change.
Gold backed coins, like PAX, are very easy to censor. While all the coin ownership information sits on the blockchain ledger, the gold sits somewhere in a vault and the custodian company has the capability to blacklist coins. Virtually all gold backed coins have this issues. You need a native digital token to have better censorship resistance.
>"An oscilloscope is a time dependent voltmeter. It displays the change of voltage over a period of time."

>"The tube used is similar to the familiar neon lamp that many an indicator or night light was made from. The difference is the electrodes are in a line rather than parallel." [...] "If you were to connect this to an alternating current source, the appearance would be two glowing areas at each electrode. To the naked eye, this would appear constant. Just like your night light. Now if you could effectively increase your visual shutter speed so to speak, you could catch the increasing amount of glow…followed by the decrease…and then the increase upon the other electrode and so forth…..all within the 60Hz line frequency applied to it."

In other words, something which is, in actuality, oscillating -- is appearing solid to the eye of the observer, because the eye lacks the frame rate to observe the oscillation unaided...

I wonder, in how many other diverse areas of Physics, this same principle might also exist...
The C64 ROM has been included in emulators without restrictions for the last 20-30 years. So I think anyone claiming copyright now would have an uphill battle.

A mixer is not “money laundering”. As I understand it, “money laundering” is when you conceal from somebody, usually the tax authorities, the reason you have the money. If someone has no income to speak of, and still has a lot of cash, that’s suspicious. A “mixer” in this case would be analogous to exchanging the physical bills for bills with different serial numbers. But this does not alleviate suspicion, the problem of the money being unexplained remains. So they can “launder” the money; i.e. pretend that they have a hair salon business or something similar, and then declare that a lot of people are coming to their salon and spending money, even though there aren’t. But this now provides an explanation for the amount of money they have; the money is now “laundered”, even though it’s the same physical cash as before.
Highly recommend BBC Good Food. Just the recipes without the fluff. They also have ratings but no review, which is great.
Sorry for the naive question, how is this not illegal? I would understand if you get 2X after all the capital raised has been cleared, but in this case? You get 2x while other people lose their shirts off?

On my Firefox 79, if I pop open a new tab, 1) the cursor is refocused from the search box to the URL bar and 2) the URL bar is a search box (even if search-in-url-box is successfully disabled in not-new tabs).

Even better, the option to set new tab to a webpage is gone. The only choices are the Firefox default page or a blank webpage.

Normally this wouldn't be a problem. I'd just try one of the dozen of known tweaks to about:config or userChrome.css and defeat this behavior. Except none of them impact this.

Again, this is only for a new tab.
I'm pretty sure that's the OS itself analysing the highlighted text and offering suggestions on which app to open it with.
Their github page explains this early in project page, so no harm done, I guess?
Australia, left leaning.

I think Twitter's response generally on speech has been terrible. Putting a label on a couple of Trump tweets doesn't fix that when they always move second to ban bot nets after Facebook discovers them, or to remove people who call for violence (eg the Alex Jones Sandy Hook conspiracy theory).

> ALL the polls showed a landslide for Hillary

No they didn't. The ones that were incorrect (state polls in a few states) were all within 3% of the correct outcome, with margin of errors of around 2%. Just because some bad modellers used that to make "Hillary is 99% likely to win" doesn't mean the polling showed a landslide.

That national polling was almost exactly correct.
This is better than what I've been doing ...

But I find the experience of the cursor navigation by long-press on keyboard quite odd still ... if you stay in the mode for awhile -- and try sliding back and forth its quite an odd experience as it feels like the algorithm behind the cursor motion and its relationship to scrolling becomes less clear over time rather than more understood ...

Maybe there is something wrong with my touchscreen ... I can't figure out how to get the soft keyboard to scroll the cursor position reliably past the viewable area -- sometimes it does scroll and sometimes it doesn't and its a bit of a mystery to me what the intended motion input into the device is that will meet my desires ...

seems like maybe the panning speed needs to be proportional to the fingers vertical height in the keyboard or something -- no panning up top, and fast panning below

Zapier, GitLab and Hashicorp are a few that come to mind. I believe Hashicorp even has a rule were for a given team you can't have 3 or more people in the same city.
This is awesome. Thanks !
Absolutely not. The lithographies, processes, and packages are completely different. Some sensors are still made on 300nm processes, useless for modern CPUs. 45 nm is considered cutting edge for imaging sensors, but would be a huge setback for computing. Intel, GlobalFoundries and even IBM fabs would be much better.

Google Meet works fine, as does Jitsi Meet. We're working with popular WebRTC providers one at a time. Unfortunately, the state of WebRTC interop is pretty bad across the board, so providers use website lockouts and qualify one browser at a time. Sorry about those three bugs. They do sound like bugs and will be looked into.

Disclaimer: I am from PingCAP, the company built TiDB

CockroachDB is well suited for applications that require reliable, available, and correct data, and millisecond response times, regardless of scale, and belongs to the category of NewSQL, which promises to combine benefits from RDBMS (strong consistency) with benefits from NoSQL (scalability); it mainly achieves this through new architecture patterns and efficient SQL storage engines. TiDB and CockroachDB are a few of the leading NewSQL databases. Each database implementation has its own take on how to ensure strong consistency with a scalable architecture.

The following situations are some hints you may consider for a switch,

1. RDBMS is becoming the performance bottleneck of your backend service

2. The amount of data stored in the database is overwhelming

3. You want to do some complex queries on large amount of data that cannot fit in one machine without manual sharding

4. Your application needs a full ACID transaction for data distributed on multiple machines.

There are multiple choices for NewSQL too, engineers are always trying to compare TiDB and CockroachDB, here’s some considerations before you decide.

TiDB is compatible with the MySQL protocol while CockroachDB is compatible with PostgreSQL. You can directly connect to TiDB server using any MySQL client and benefit from the MySQL ecosystem. Plus TiDB is well adopted and trusted by 1000+ large scale Internet companies and banks.

Currently, CockroachDB is not suitable for Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) while TiDB is a Hybrid Transactional and Analytical Processing (HTAP) database that supports both OLTP (Online Transactional Processing) and OLAP workloads. So with TiDB, a typical ETL (Extract, Transform and Load) process that moves data to a different database for analysis is no longer required, enabling you to create new values for your users, easier and faster.

Hope the above can help you a bit.
You would be surprised, but I am willing to bet that to have access to those is way more common that to live in a country with a sane and stable economy.
They announced there will be no Bootcamp, I hope there will be a possibility to install other OSes as well on their new machines.

This is critical especially when they make their older devices "EOL" and there are no more OS updates.

The Physics of Wormholes
Some things are objectively bad and should be regulated by society. Subverting the web for tracking and hoarding personal data are two big ones.

Regulation means laws proposed by a government, and it also means either an impact on the profits of entrepreneurs (n. fr. middle man) or at least a lot of press from
entrepreneurs about how this will stifle innovation and stop the next generation reaching the American Dream: you know what’s cool? A billion dollars

It’s easy to hop skip and jump through all sorts of stages to end up at crazy conclusions, but I don’t think it’s too much of a stretch to point to materialism, wealth inequality, and love of money as being serious corruptions. A little modesty and humility goes a long way. Maybe don’t [faux] celebrate the next massive tech exit as the top news item on HN?
The article seemed incoherent to me. It went from "people who write spreadsheet apps are being subverted" (how?) to "the police is flying drones" to "tech workers need to stand up".
