Great perspective and it also gets at a big concern I have: almost everyone seems to think “remote = large scale” but that means opportunities for student-teacher interaction go to zero. No reason it has to scale like that though.

Thanks for the recommendations. I've briefly looked at the 6502 instruction set. Part of the problem is that most of those real-world CPUs use multibyte instructions, which I'm not opposed to, but I'm not sure how to actually incorporate them into my current design (It would be a lot easier if I just did a 6502 emulator without any of the logic gate stuff). Thus I'm trying to come up with an instruction set that utilizes only 8 bits per instruction.
I personally think CS is generally taught extremely poorly, specifically any portion where a professor attempts to teach you to code. It generally just comes down to opinion and memorization, its not really fun. I had the experience of having more project based programming classes (like a game or operating system) and that was totally fun, but classes where you have to implement tiny examples of OOP or something are so unbelievably boring (this is what I imagine the cs101 classes are at many schools). If that was my intro to it, I don't think I would have stuck with CS. I also think the theoretical stuff is taught poorly too, it can just be so dry. I think a big issue is you are taught that a concept exists, you don't necessarily go through and try to solve it yourself. I remember my intro to sorting was "here are all the algorithms you should know", not "try to come up with a strat for putting numbers in order." The latter is significantly more interesting and engaging.
Not sure what you mean. What I hope is a human Russian history, not dictated by what passes for government there. An honest confrontation with the past, and not a Hollywood interpretation meant to match the US and to cover up the horrors that have occurred.
According to me.

Alternatively, according to anyone who has been raised with sufficiently decent morals, religious or secular, or, quite aside from such explicit inculcation, has inferred from their circumstances, life experiences, and the condition of others who inhabit the world around them, a basic sense of humility: anyone who does not imagine that the world revolves around them, and certainly not to the extent that they believe that they deserve to be supplied by others with a lifestyle of leisure (particularly while others and other causes remain far needier than they).

Alternatively: according to anyone who has been educated with knowledge of the world economy, so as to possess a basic understanding that, even should we plunder the entire wealth of the upper classes (however you define them), the sum would be wholly inadequate to purchase unlimited leisure on demand for all who may ask of it, and moreover, that if such plunder did occur, there would in any event be many more urgent and meaningful projects for such wealth to be directed to. Or, to rephrase, according to anyone who understands that the math of what they are asking is nonsense.

Alternatively: according to King Solomon, or whoever really did write Ecclesiastes: "For a person may labor with wisdom, knowledge and skill, and then they must leave all they own to another who has not toiled for it. This too is meaningless, and a great evil."

I could probably go on, but that would be gratuitous.

What if battery status was used to triage tasks? Wait to do something intensive if you’re low, etc. Seems like a respectful enhancement.

Completely insane behavior. How do you wake up one day at a corporate environment and think any of this is OK?
Yeah Bootstrap is cool. Right now I have been working a lot in TailwindCSS (https://tailwindcss.com) and I really enjoy the experience.
I disagree. I want that. Therefore a website does have business asking for those things.
Right - I get exactly the same thing. I have a PhD and am a senior staff engineer and people in UK society still assume I'm very low paid and very low status, and that I work in a cubicle as an underclass troll. I have my feet in two camps because I'm also an Army officer. As soon as I put that hat on (literally) my social status goes up by an order of magnitude. I think a lot of people in CS don't know what it's like in other fields and they assume they're relatively well regarded and respected by society. They aren't!

Despite having a 'buy now' link to amazon.{de,fr,es,uk}, it refuses to ship to the Netherlands. That's disappointing (and sloppy).
I would tend to agree but him retweeting a video of someone yelling "White power", clearly and distinctively multiple times does tend to lower the tolerance for any type of catchphrase that has a racist past.
My theory is that a lot of people would hate working in computer science and programming. For most people this kind of work is very tedious and boring. You have to be cut out for it.
I am curious about the silicon oil. I assume this is a solution for places where there is not a lot of rubbing/use? Some searching did not turn up any indication this was a common use nor permanent.
It's really not great. Doable, but not great. That's why they moved to a classic C++ codebase instead on other platforms.

On a side note, I worked on Jpcsp, a PSP emulator in Java. Great for research and doing refactoring in the code quickly, not great for performance, even with a JIT. We wrote later PPSSPP in C++, performance was there quite easily.
It's not really the "spirit" of the law. It's more like a risk/reward calculation.

Sometimes you just have to take calculated risks. Like the sites that have VT100 ROM images for VT100 emulators.

The risk of getting a C&D letter, or worse-yet a lawsuit, are tiny compared to the reward of being able to emulate and study a classic computing system. The copyright owner may be more than happy to look the other way.

And there really are cases where the company that owns the copyright is simply gone. Then it's probably safe to take a chance on it.
"a) EU doesn't have a military. However there are active discussions driven by France to establish one and it is getting support e.g. Eastern European states who feel threatened by Russia."

Please do establish it. This way you will be independent from the US and won't need American military bases on your territory. Russia feels threatened by the US-led NATO expansion towards its borders just as much as Eastern European states feel threatened by Russia.
>>They are still available to work from their home countries, where, in almost all cases, they will be happier with a lower salary!

I disagree, there is dog-eat-dog politics in offshore centers all the time for visa and abroad work opportunities. And you'd be surprised the kind of dealing goes behind the scenes for a person to make it to a visa.

It is a toxic mixture of nepotism on several lines, plus Machiavellian game play for a person to land to US shores.

In fact most of the Green card holders and Ex-Indian US passport holders you see are ace at office politics and not at Software.

Its not surprising Indians do well in climbing the ladder in company ranks in the US. They have years of practice, and success at wrecking dozens of careers back home in India to get there. The US citizens are rookies and worst sitting ducks against this kind of Machiavellian talent.
IMO, it's not the web-developers, it's the web-site owners. The devs (well, the small sample I know) is not interested in collecting user information to make a better fingerprint.
From my point of view, the idea never got validated by actual users, but instead been pushed by investors and the founder(s) itself, thinking this would be a hit.

Of course, due to a lot of marketing, they got a lot of users. Probably just to find out, that this is not what people expected or liked.
Sure, yes, bribes are criminal. But making them criminal didn't make them go away. Now you are shifting your claim from saying the world id bribe-free to simply saying it's not necessary. Which is also not true anyway:

I know someone, in the US, who was unable to get a health-inspection sign off without making a separate "gift" to the inspector. The permit languished for months , with no apparent progress or response. Money was being lost. Finally the inspector showed up and made a reference to this "gift". The person I know said he might take his issue to the head of the health department. The inspector said "that's fine, you can do that. When you speak to him, tell my father that I said hello." Other areas of the same business were unable to get a certain supplier to either show up, or when they did, to provide usable product, until a kickback was given. Why not choose a different supplier? Because the type of supplier had to have a specific license to distribute the product, and suppliers had divide up territory so there was only one supplier in any area.

Bribery is alive & well. All making it criminal has done is ensure that when it's discovered, it is punished.
In her case, it comes from her experience in high school. Nonetheless, I do wonder whether and how the stereotype is reinforced in popular culture.

I've tried to use bars in a map for a report before. It took me a bunch of redesigns until it had something I liked (equally sized rectangles filled in proportion to the measure, no overlaps, and a thin line cutting across to show a baseline). Even then, it was nixed for taking too much effort to parse.

This article's maps are barely useful. A table would've been better. If you have to label the rankings, it's a clear sign nobody can make comparisons with your map.
15 ways to get paid with less hassle as a freelancer (or consultant)
Alongside discipline there's also simply losing interest. There are projects I could maintain over a long period because I still believe in them, but most I stop caring about. I've probably picked up and dropped music the most, often for something else.

I think Bukowski's aphorism "don't try" is useful. He means that he was always compelled to write, and that if you have to force yourself consistently, it's probably not for you. That being said, discipline is still forever important. There's a difference between my laziness and general interest in something.
Two potential outcomes I can think of: 1. The UK builds ground stations and combines timing data from OneWeb with ground station reference points to achieve high navigation precision, 2. "You are within 1km of your destination. For final routing instructions, join OneWeb now for the low rate of"

I have no idea here.
The thing of stopping half-way to have a clear beginning next time operated wonders for me too.

Not necessarily leaving a task incomplete: in case of small tasks, it also worked for me to have the next task clearly defined.

This is an incredibly flawed analogy. I can say safely that software engineering students (SE specifically, and not CS) have at a general level a massive amount of missing knowledge compared to their CS counterparts. Practically every SE concept either is or can be taught on the job. I don't hire but I can safely say that if I ever did I would hire CS graduates long before someone who calls everything they use an 'app' and couldn't explain tail recursion to me. I will never understand how SE people can brush past basic concepts in favor of specific frameworks that might be out of favor by the time they graduate.

SE students tend to miss fundamental parts of creating good applications while they study how to do so (security, privacy, performance (!), etc). This gap creates a liability in the job markets they saturate, as well. This culture of companies that hire SE majors and SE degree programs is pretty lax when it comes to the stuff that isn't arbitrary software framework knowledge. Frankly, the 'optimization' of CS has been a disaster. Buggy software can cause just as many damaging or long term effects as poorly designed buildings or machines, but in none of the programs that would output people capable of creating those do we see a movement supporting 'practical' knowledge over the basics. It's incredibly short-sighted, and at the very least, it means smaller CS programs.
Same argument could be made for JS in general. The justification for those APIs to exist is because developers want to implement features using them, same as with JS in general too.

Why not? It makes complete sense for something like a website that backs up the photos stored on your camera. What's even the counter argument, that if people want to back up their data they should have to pay Apple?

If you've granted a website access to a restricted API, the browser can just paint a flashing red border around the website or whatever, similar to how people configure their terminals when they're SSH'd into prod.
Windows 98 was single-user, the login prompt was used only for network connections if I remember ?

> while the main adversary

How does this involve the US other than an antiquated alliance to stop the spread of the Soviet Union during the reconstruction period after WW2. That was 75 years ago, Europe can stand on it's own.

> war with Ukraine

I don't share that assessment. What happened was the democratically elected government was expelled by a paramilitary force, other portions of the Ukraine decided to not recognize the military coup, held elections to secede and join Russia. If you believe in democracy, those voting to secede and join Russia had the authority and justified reason to do so.

> targeting American soldiers in the Middle East

America seems to keep getting involved in all these fights. This doesn't really have much to do with NATO, though.

If you enjoyed this interview, I recommend you check out the book Werner Herzog: A Guide for the Perplexed (https://www.amazon.com/Werner-Herzog-Perplexed-Conversations...), which is essentially a 400-page interview transcript covering Herzog's autobiography and filmography. One of the most inspiring books I've ever read.
Nothing quite matches that triumphant moment when you finally discover the root cause of an issue that's been bothering you for days.

Home for the holidays I found my copy of the Klutz book of Knots. I spent an hour on the floor having fun, took the book home, and have been referencing it all year for everything from shoelaces to extension cords.

Some are more eternal than others (Icky Poo) but as a child I never had one that I didn't completely devour. Any time I need a gift for a friend's young child, Klutz immediately comes to mind.
Disney+ isn’t a novel idea. All they really did was give everyone access to their entire library of videos.

Quibi was interesting bec it was trying to be something that no one else was doing, that requires more than an s3 bucket behind a Netflix clone.
Did Disney+ do anything new? It took the established model of Netflix and the established content of the Disney empire, and threw them together.

From my understanding, Quibi is a unique usage model, with unproven content, neither of which has initially panned out.
" seem to be able to spend their entire day focusing on a computer screen, even on weekends."

I absolutely can and have done that. Many times. In fact, it used to be most of the time.

But I'll admit that the majority of the programmers (or other IT, for that matter) I've worked with didn't seem like people who went home and played on the computer all night and all weekend.

Who is "we", in these sentences? It sounds like you mean the EU.

The EU has a massive public relations budget. Most estimates place it at over half a billion euros per year just on self-promotion, although the true figure can be much larger if you consider the money "donated" by member states for subsidies and projects, that are then rebranded as EU funding:

https://fullfact.org/europe/how-much-does-eu-spend-promoting...

The EU spends significant time and effort on combating false information. The problem is that most of the information it tries to combat isn't actually false, so it ends up backfiring.

For example, this "myth busting" page:

https://ec.europa.eu/regional_policy/en/policy/what/myth-bus...

The response to the so-called myth, "useless projects are funded with EU money" is some bland corporate-speak that says nothing:

"National and regional authorities in the EU countries select projects which they think meet their needs best in line with the strategies and priorities agreed with the Commission"

It's a response to stories like this one:

https://www.taxpayersalliance.com/how_european_union_aid_is_...

which revealed the EU spent money on:

• Weekly free trapeze lessons for people in Tanzania (nb: not in the EU)

• Courses on how to make art from plastic bags in Dar Es Salaam (also not in the EU)

• Nearly 200k EUR on EU self-promotion in Jamaica

• Half a million EUR to a Zimbabwean "culture fund" whose CEO was a staunch defender of Mugabe

etc. So the reason euroscepticism is on the rise isn't due to lack of money spent on propaganda, far from it. It's on the rise because the EU is extremely corrupt and its own attempts to defend itself are useless.
Maybe Microsoft is less averse to complexity - which would still make uptime degradation land squarely on Microsoft’s shoulders. Microsoft seems to be an organization that actually introduces too much complexity to their products imo.
Covid-19: The first truly global event
Klutz books were a huge part of my childhood. I remember the Koosh book fondly (came with an eponymous Koosh ball, of course), as well as the Bubble book (came with a device you could use to make absolutely enormous bubbles). Recently got the "LEGO Contraptions" book for my son (comes with all the LEGO pieces you need to make everything in the book), and it's just as great as I remember the others being. If this post is the first time you've heard of them, I highly recommend checking them out!
In an ideal world, if I wanted to use the keyboard I used with my mac (G3, System 8), I would plug it into an adb-pci board installed in my new x86 machine and it would just work. In real life, I'd probably use an adb-usb converter and Linux probably would see a USB HID device, but that really is less elegant.
Ask HN: How can one get rid of whole-body eczema?
My friend needs help. I know this isn't a medical forum, but I've grown to trust people in here to be bright, levelheaded, and able to take many different aspects of a problem into consideration.

That cannot be said about most of the doctors my friend has seen through the past year. He has eczema[1] basically everywhere, and whichever doctor he visits, it always ends with the same recommendation: corticosteroids.

And I must say, as much as I dislike them, they'd at least worked; unlike the phototherapy, the acupuncture, the Chinese medicine, the sugar-free, gluten-free and dairy-free diets, and all of the other stuff that you can find on google (last is some Japanese powder from rise that's supposed to rehydrate the skin from the inside).

I believe there must be some other way than just to immunosuppress the shit out of him: maybe he's omega-3 deficient (he's allergic to dairy and doesn't like fish), so he'd need some supplements. Or maybe he has too much Zinc? Or he needs a microbiome transplant (i.e. gut restart)? [2]

Long story short, I'd love to hear about some holistic approaches to treating eczema. Unfortunately, we couldn't yet find a professional who could provide it, so, here I am.

I'm not looking for a medical advice per se, just for some ideas, sources, or experiences that could help us.

Thanks a lot!
