I have a lot of vintage Apple tech. Much of it still works...

I have a 2001 PowerPC G4 Quicksilver tower. Haven't booted it in a while, but it worked fine last time I did. If you can find these local to you, you can often get them very cheap. Shipping is expensive though, so buying them on a place like eBay is kind of a non-starter. I recently found a sealed old copy of Cubase VST available online for about $10. Bought an old M-Audio PCI card a long time ago for this machine too. At some point I may set it up as a Digital Audio Workstation.

I found a pair of old (2001) PowerPC iBooks on eBay a while back. They're good for running kids games and software - useful if you want an inexpensive, air-gapped machine for a young child you don't want on the open internet. Or typing / writing. These can be had very cheaply, I think because many schools bought them and eventually liquidated their inventory to replace with newer equipment. I had no problem finding inexpensive new batteries for these on eBay, and bought a couple extras.

More regularly, I use my old mid-2007 black macbook to run the original Starcraft. I'm running it via the OS X Installer (it's originally a PowerPC OS 9 game). I'm not much of a gamer these days, but Starcraft can be fun once in a while... like when PG&E in California shuts off the power for days and you want to conserve your main laptop's battery for work... And it's cool to have games that actually support local lan multiplayer, which Blizzard moved away from over time.

For anyone looking to delve deeper into this topic, here's some recommendations (off the top of my head) on what version of OS X to settle on for a given machine:

For older Intel Machines, I recommend 10.6 Snow Leopard. This is the last OS to support Rosetta, which allows you to run PowerPC OS X software. Note: PowerPC OS X software, not PowerPC OS 9 / Classic software.

For older PPC machines, I recommend 10.4 Tiger. This is the last OS to support running OS 9 applications via the Classic environment. Or of course, you can just install OS 9 and forego OS X altogether.
I have a pixel 2 which is approaching 3 years of age at this point. (2700mAh) I generally finish the day with 50-70% battery life, unless there's some specific reason I'm actively using it all day. (last time was because my flight got delayed and I was sitting in the terminal for several hours and had packed my charger in my checked bag)

I'm perfectly happy with a 3100mAh battery. The only feature I'm missing with this phone is the "squeeze button" (I forgot the real term) -- it's a much better snooze function than trying to figure out which direction to swipe to snooze when you're sleepy enough to want to snooze. All too often on my old phone I'd just shut the alarm off instead of snoozing.

This is probably the firstest first world problem I've ever had.
I'm not a neo-nazi, I'm personally not even conservative. But Schmitt is probably one of the most influential conservatives of the 20th century. He's not only influenced conservative thought but people ranging from Arendt, to Habermas, Strauss even Derrida among others. His writing on the state of exception or the friend-foe distinction had wide reach from theory to policy-making.

Meanwhile in US Conservatism you have people ranting about taxation being theft, I mean if that's the intellectual elite I don't know what's going on exactly.

I wish there were more laptops that did batteries this way, rather than each device having it's own separate type of battery pack/cell/whatever. I know that will reduce battery performance, since they can't be tailored to each device as much. However as it stands, most device have a built-in live span after which replacement batteries will no longer be available to purchase, even if it was possible to install them (which for many devices, it isn't without special tools and skills).

I have G4 iBook that is in great condition and still runs well, but the battery is pretty much dead. Even though it's user swap-able, good luck buying a new battery that performs well (you can get knockoffs from sketchy eBay vendors, but they don't work very well).

If all the laptops used a set of standardized cells, you would sacrifice thin-ness and battery life to a certain extent, but now you can keep using your very expensive investment for many years, rather than having to chuck it (or at least only use it one place) after the battery stops holding a charge.

FYI this is the _first_ call which is dominated by the JIT process. So not really "this time to plot" so much as the "time to compile". Calls to the resulting jitted function will be on the order of what you quote (I have not timed myself for the specific result they quote here but have done for similar in the past).

As a former New Yorker, I learned to take anything in the NY Post with a very large grain of salt.

Lies are not just free to consume, they are also free to generate.

It is "expensive" to generate true high information content, because, from an information theoretic point of view, "high information" means "surprising" which means "improbable". The improbability of high information events/messages throttles the rate of their occurrence.

Lies on the other hand can be made to sound surprising and high information, with no natural probabilistic throttle. They can be generated at will, at arbitrary frequency.

Get audience and rest will follow. Also try to look for viral loop within your app. For eg drop box had a auto viral loop when you share files with others. Look for such opportunities.

Since you are not going to spend on ad, viral loop and content are only ways to grow.
Why has the UK done so badly on Covid-19? There are still no simple answers
>> But that's little discomfort compared to getting sick

Depends on how afraid you are of getting sick. Most people that get infected do not develop any symptoms, and of those who do 95% wouldn't be able to tell them aparat from the normal flu. The only real risk group are people over 70, and while those might actually be afraid, the rest of the society is simply getting more and more pissed off with all those restrictions imposed on us.
OP is sort of shrugging off the information in this article by saying that it should be common sense that by carrying a phone you are trackable. I don't really disagree with that. But a major point of the article is that not only are you trackable, but you can be actively surveilled or even have your text messages spoofed, which is not common knowledge and isn't really encapsulated by the "radio in your pocket" analogy
You mean the same way his campaign uses facebook and twitter as a propaganda platform. Thats really the most important issue here. He can run political ads on both platforms and they do nothing about it. Tiktok reaches a gen z and millenials and he can't do anything about it.
That portion is a basically a sunk cost. You don't have that money you're just holding onto it for the taxman. Assuming any future gains will be taxed at the same rate, in effect you are not earning anything more off of it by holding it as the proportion of tax will be the same. The only way it would be different is if you expect the tax law to change in the future in your favour.

Really? They needed a wakaresaseya industry to know that? Isn't it obvious that in most societies around the world a man can't get pussy unless he has money and can lie? Don't 99% of women lie about their appearance with fake nails, hair etc?

> What got my goat was the implication that complex systems like the mind and the brain or any other complex system aren’t a “science” because it somehow isn’t pure enough/reduced enough.

That wasn't the implication, but perhaps more needs to be said. The first distinction I made was between brain and "mind" (here understood as "intellect", that is, the faculty responsibly for conceptualization, or, abstraction from particulars enountered in the senses) by appealing to a classic Aristotelian argument for the immateriality of the intellect. So you can study the physical brain using various empirical methods and through the lenses of various empirical science, sure, but if the intellect is immaterial, then obviously you can't subject it to any direct empirical experimentation. That doesn't mean it cannot become the object of a science (i.e., psychology as classically understood), nor does it mean you can't make observations about human beings to gather supporting evidence of some kind to draw certain conclusions. An immaterial intellect just isn't something you can look at under a microscope or at which you can fire subatomic particles.
But I thought you could cast a raw pointer to a reference with "as" in an unsafe block? Obviously that makes it possible for you to create multiple mutable references, or a mutable reference at the same time as an immutable reference, which is undefined behaviour, but undefined behaviour was always going to be the risk of this idea. Also, even if you had a compiler switch to make "unsafe" implicit everywhere, your code is going to be littered with a lot of casts.

(Obviously I'm not a Rust expert, which is why my comments are in the form of questions.)
I know. Be that as it may, 7 seconds to load a module alone is nuts.
My anecdotal experience from discussing these issues with people of many demographics, political pursuations, etc. is that there is a great deal of animosity from people that were more heavily hit by the lockdowns, rules, etc. imposed by the goverment. And people wearing masks is a "signal" that that person is likely on the side that was driving the lockdowns, restrictions, etc. to occur. This includes: people that have lost their jobs, people that have young kids (in schools that were closed), etc.

Vetspire | Full Stack Software Engineer | Remote | Full-Time | https://vetspire.com

Vetspire is an AI-driven medical records and practice management platform for veterinarians. We’re a startup that builds the technology suite that powers veterinary hospitals, impacting every aspect of patient care from AI assistance in the exam room to managing client communications and clinical analytics.

We're looking for a full stack engineer to join our small and technical team to continue to bring veterinarians’ dreams into fruition. Your day to day work will consist of learning and understanding veterinarians' needs and bringing them into reality from the front-end to the backend. Some examples of what your weeks may look like:

* building remote tools for pet owners to sign consent forms, pay invoices, and fill in information online so they don't have to walk into the clinics during the pandemic

* creating an emergency room clinical census to monitor patients and alert staff in real-time

* designing the interface and algorithms for intelligent immunization reminders.

You'll be working directly with the thousands of veterinarians and staff using Vetspire every day, and talking with them often to better understand their needs and iterate on solutions with them. It's an incredibly fulfilling role to be able to make such a drastic difference in the lives of vets, and ultimately, everyone's pets. It's half-part engineering, half-part problem-solving.

Our backend tech stack is a GraphQL Phoenix/Absinthe application written in Elixir, our frontend is using React with the Apollo GraphQL framework, our primary database is PostgreSQL, and it all runs on Google Cloud via Kubernetes.

Email me if interested at sam@vetspire.com (include "HN" in the subject).

If you are in the USA, I don't believe your claim that most commercial or schools have HEPA in their air filtration system, and know it isn't true for new residential in the PNW.

I'll definitely add it to my list. I've generally found that a healthy study of psychology and economics, along with a deep dive into US history has given me a fairly clear picture of where things are today, how we got there and noticeable forces at work in public messaging/trends.

Forgive a semi-relevant ramble:

From a GPUs point of view, this isn't latency hiding, this is latency reduction.

In GPU terminology, using pre-fetching and caching to reduce the latency for a read is called latency reduction. This approach is used heavily in CPUs.

This is in contrast to the main approach used in GPUs, where you just switch threads if you're waiting on a read, dubbed latency hiding. GPUs are able to do this terribly quickly, so there's little worry about thread-switching overhead. It's analogous to 'simultaneous multithreading'/HyperThreading in CPUs.

Latency-hiding is vital in GPUs, which handle massively parallel workloads and use graphics RAM, which has high throughput but poor latency. If you give a GPU a single-threaded workload, you can expect it to stall on reads far more than if you had a CPU handle the equivalent workload.

(Disclaimer: my GPU knowledge is rather stale.)
Fair enough, and props to Samsung for that.
Unsure about its effectiveness?

Oh I missed that, thanks for the info.
I absolutely agree. It’s just a messaging protocol. There’s no reason for all of these apps to be so niche.

And I agree that there’s no inherent reason that all of the current servers are terribad. Although it is strange that everyone interested in decentralization seems to also be interested in bad technology. Though of course this is slowly changing as reality sets in.

Communick sounds interesting. If you can really bundle all those apps together for that cheap? It makes me wonder why Element Matrix hosting is such a ripoff. Or why every other host is such a ripoff.

I agree about IPFS too. Specifically though I’d like to see Sia used as storage because it’s actually working today as opposed to Filecoin and all that which is not close to functioning yet.
When things get bad enough, this is like people getting caught in a stampede, but one driven by tribal conspiracy theories instead of panic. Your risk ultimately becomes a function of the most extreme behavior (i.e. "Coronavirus house parties") of those around you. These localized "infection events" are often the source of larger regional outbreaks.

This is what has just happened in Melbourne, where private security services were apparently lax in their monitoring of people in COVID19 quarantine hotels, allowing it to spread to the community [1]

I'm very worried about friends and family in the Central Valley who have complicating health conditions.

Looking for anything new to dig my teeth into for a decent pay.
Certainly important, and I could try to fit it in here. But I feel it fits better in an article that talks specifically about the financials of product development (in general).

I could of course mention it and link to a piece that's relevant.

Not sure where I'd put it in my current article though. Maybe under the 'purpose of a roadmap' part.

Thanks for the feedback!
Acting in your self-interest does not excuse you from the consequences of your actions. That is not a justification one would accept from individuals and neither should it be acceptable for companies. It may technically be legal (which I would argue is something that should be changed) but that does not mean that it is automatically good.

Yes, TurboTax will make more money thanks to their incredibly effective lobbying efforts, but the price is that all Americans have a somewhat worse experience filing their taxes each year. This compounds over hundreds of millions of taxpayers and most importantly, is completely unnecessary.

If I managed to somehow convince the government to pass a law that everyone has to pay me 1$ every year, that would clearly be in my economic interest, but nobody would argue that that would be a good thing.

Lastly I highly doubt that TurboTax is employing hundreds of thousands of people.
