I think my 440BX motherboard supported up to 384 MB of RAM--that would have helped a lot. You can still get PCI SATA controllers for fast swap. You're still capped at 133 MBps because of PCI, but PC100 RAM only runs at 800 MBps, anyway.

What's amazing about the PII is it's the oldest "modern" computer in a few ways. USB came out around the same time, and i686 is the oldest x86 architecture still supported by modern distros out-of-the-box. i686 will be 25 years old in November. The fact that it's still supported is incredible.

I don't see how is Mozilla in a tough spot regarding user freedom, it's entirely possible to allow local extension installation and educate users about the associated risks, like other browsers do.

Most people can live with the restrictions you impose on them, but the restrictions can still be missguided or thoughtless.
>> What you call unnecessary spending is what actually floats the entire economy

I get tired how this argument is used to justify so much BS.

I think this pandemic has debunked this. You forget the other part that is saving is what generates real capital to invest, not debt.
The fencing mentioned is less for predator protection, and more to move the sheep around on the pasture. Left to their own devices, sheep will[1] overgraze.

(7 sheep is a hobby, not a flock. Shepherding does have a reputation as being for the lazy, but that's by agricultural standards. Even Giotto presumably did a fair amount of work in between developing his art.)

[1] The animals in Animal Farm are all well characterised. Sheep do do what the other sheep do. Dogs do love making sheep behave according to their master's dictates. Horses do have entirely too good a heart. Donkeys do get to live out their lives with no one paying attention to their carcass value. And pigs do resemble humans: compare long pig.
The CPM process you describe sounds similar to so-called PMV-11 steel, which is used in some high-end chisels and woodworking planes. It’s not just marketing, several professionals who are mostly impartial have said its noticeably better than conventional tool steels.

This is a misinterpretation of what the survey data says. It's a widespread one, and worth correcting.

A large fraction of people have debt, such as student loans, mortgages, car loans, etc. If they have a significant amount of extra cash, they'll use it to reduce their debt, because money sitting in a bank account makes less interest than the interest on a mortgage or any other sort of loan. So if you look at these peoples' bank accounts, they don't have any savings. Scary, right? But most of them do have lines of credit, so if they have a financial setback, they won't lose the ability to buy groceries, they'll just take on additional debt.
Isn't this exactly what US companies do, and what the US government wants to do?

As has been stated, this happens, it’s what bankruptcy is for, and is not all that shocking or worth particular notice here.
I understand why we’d want to save the airlines (for instance) from extinction, but why bail out the current equity holders as opposed to an orderly, Government-backed restructuring in bankruptcy court?
There is no plausible way to eradicate the virus. It is now endemic in the worldwide human population (plus some animal reservoirs). Even a vaccine won't change that reality.

a) Price. You save a huge amount of money over time.

b) Ritual. I really enjoy whipping up the soap with my brush, and lathering up my face before shaving with my safety razor.

c) Efficiency. If you don’t shave every day (I sometimes don’t for up to a week), cartridges get clogged way too quickly with thicker hair while my safety razor can easily handle it.

It's very ugly, but not crazy. Unfortunately, it misses the point: typing is about having an automated tool report on type incompatibilities. No convention can fix that because you can easily not follow it (accidentally or otherwise).

I would guess that in JavaScript you can get to a point similar to Python of old with Zope3 Interfaces, without needing to resort to a precompiler (though Python's decorator syntax makes thing nicer).

It's not easily automated. Somehow, you have to safely get a certificate across the air gap to the internal network.

So I guess an internet-connected system grabs the certificates, then they get burned to DVD-R, then... a robot moves the DVD-R to the internal network? It's not easy. It's all much worse if the networks aren't physically adjacent. One could be behind a bunch of armed guards and interlocking doors.
The story of Elton McDonald's tunnel in Toronto was the subject of a very interesting story on NPR's radio program This American Life:

https://www.thisamericanlife.org/700/embiggening (see Act Three: Tunnel Vision)

And many HN readers will undoubtedly be familiar with Seymour Cray, the designer of several influential computers:

> The American engineer and supercomputer architect Seymour Cray is known to have been a hobby tunneller. Cray built an 8 by 4 feet (2.4 by 1.2 m) cedar-floored tunnel under his house, explaining that the digging helped him to think about computer designs. "While I'm digging in the tunnel, the elves will often come to me with solutions to my problem," he said.
From the abstract: "We demonstrate a range of pre-existing memory CD4+ T cells that are cross-reactive with comparable affinity to SARS-CoV-2 and the common cold coronaviruses HCoV-OC43, HCoV-229E, HCoV-NL63, or HCoV-HKU1."

1. Populations may naturally have a head start towards herd immunity from COVID.
2. Sweden could be really close in that regard; their current super low daily mortality and declining cases may point towards herd immunity.
indeed. I wish it had been something other than food, I wish it hadn't happened in the first place.

I’d bet this is useful for a range of memorization tasks other than language learning. I imagine this works because it strengthens the signal to noise ratio by pairing auditory stimulus with vagus nerve stimulation. It’s kind of like how reading something out loud can help you remember it, only in this case it’s like you are reading aloud and listening to someone else read at the same time.

I wonder if it could be used to improve reading comprehension. Say you are reading a story, maybe each character has their own waveform, and as you read or listen the stim pulse changes based on who is talking.

Or lets say you are reading a math textbook. You could label different variables with different stim pulses, which might make it easier to follow complex logic or minimize the need to re-read different sections.
Thanks for looking into that :)

First of all, thank you! This is such a great collection.
One thing I would like to see more of is resources on customer retention. I know you have about 4/5 articles / videos on it, but they didn't directly address measuring retention and best practices on how to make sure you're not building a leaky bucket. Since customer stickiness is so important, I think it should merit a lot more resources.
I too find it strange. The most obvious explanation to me is that adults simply don't have the time, energy, or money to devote to consistent practice with a fluent speaker where ones effort is being tested in some way like children. And no Duolingo doesn't count as.
Removing unfair advantage these apps have by building their base in China and creating snowball effect when trying to communicate from abroad with Chinese users? Later you see your foreign contact has also Wechat to talk with Chinese, so why not to talk also with your nonchinese contact through WeChat.

Anyway the bigger issue here really is tax evasion through wechat payments or security threats thanks to unlimited access of Chinese gov to your phone storage.

It will be interesting to see if the checkra1n team can get this to work on the A11 SoC. They'll have to do something, since the new iOS betas now check the "Boot Progress" Register. As this check is done by the SEP core, bar an exploit, the system can refuse to decrypt the user's data partition.

I'm fairly sure this bug is related to how the SEP handles it's 64 bit numbers... so it might not be exploitable on newer chipsets. IIRC the iPhone X has an ARMv8 SEP vs Cortex-A7 in earlier models.

That I wholeheartedly agreed. I just felt that some people just discard the old way completely, seeing it as outdated(which is true in certain aspect) I personally think that there are always old wisdom that younger business owner can revisit, to learn from.
> if only people would read man pages.

I don't like this line of reasoning, because people did read the manual. These escape characters are on the 7th page (on my terminal) and are not a feature needed to used to get the service. Most people just need to connect, maybe get an X server. That's it.

The reason I don't like the line of reasoning is because it is similar to "You should read and memorize the entirety of Python documentation before you begin programming." This is both absurd and elitist. The reason posts like this are helpful is because human memory and attention don't work like that. It is more natural to learn things as they are required (man pages are not ordered in terms of most commonly used commands, nor should it be. Man pages are a reference page designed for a time before stackexchange existed, and they are great) because you shouldn't just memorize things you aren't going to use, and if you don't use them you will forget.

TLDR: No one likes the wizard that scoffs "RTFM," it isn't helpful.
Unclear, but defining accessing a server as a "transaction" for these purposes would be extremely aggressive, difficult to enforce, and challenged in court.
"Free speech means congress isn’t allowed to silence the media."

Wrong. The First Amendment means that Congress isn't allowed to silence the media. The First Amendment and "free speech" are entirely different entities, with really not much shared between them. The First Amendment is a law and what it does and doesn't mean has been quite precisely specified by the Supreme Court. "Free speech" is a more loosely-specified concept, and is much broader than the First Amendment. One could easily believe (as I and many others do) that free speech is very valuable, so valuable that it deserves even stronger protections than those granted by the First Amendment.

In this case, the downturn is caused by deliberate government action. How can you call a small local cafe forced to shut by government "poorly-run"? They were literally forced out of business by legislation that prevented them from even trading.

I wouldn't call it "super low" mortality when the average for the past month since the large drop is still 25x that of Denmark (i.e. nearly our neighbors montly totals per day), when it should be more like 2x based on population sizes (and Denmark being denser populated on top of that).
Re #2: Do you have thoughts on how folks will update their archive after the initial sync? KA-Lite had a similar offering in the education space, but redownloading a .zip to get five new files when 95% of the content is the same seems not ideal.

In some companies, you do. Medical certifications require regular audits, and failing an audit is _not_ good.
I don't know enough about food tech to say what their problems are. I think, generally, the problem is that food service doesn't scale that well. Food service scales linearly for employees and space and cost. If you could figure out how to scale it better you could feed many more people for less money and solve a huge problem for the world.
That kind of sounds like an opinion.

If his cited sources (which presumptively were somewhat important to the point he was making) should (or would have, which may be subjective. I don't know because I'm not a Facebook employee and have no direct knowledge of the now-secret information) have been secret, then it stands to reason that it would have been more difficult for him to make his point.

If that's the case, it sounds like they've changed an entire policy organization-wide to stop more posts like this, or they've made no global policy changes and selectively hidden information that would support his point. Either way I'm curious about this culture of openness and what defines its limits.
When I worked for Ian Taylor (one of the creators of Go) it was a firing offense to waste time lining up columns or parentheses. Petty arranging is a waste of valuable time, time stolen from your employer if you have one. Just a one-unit indent provides all the information you need to convey to the reader.

Rust's formatter not making up artificial alignment columns is the best thing about it.

When I switched to a safety razor I bought a sampler pack of different brands of blades. The Feather blades felt great; there was no grabbing or skipping, I’d just glide the razor across and all the hair would be gone. Then I’d look in the mirror and there’d be blood dripping down my neck. They are so sharp that I wouldn’t feel it at all.

>That may be a tradeoff that razor manufacturers are not willing to make.

It seems non-ideal, that the top comment thread comes from a new throwaway account, making assertions that might as well be corporate PR damage control messages, in the moment they'll have the most persuasive impact, with no accountability.

Though the comment might well be entirely legitimate and honest, HN participants are collectively giving the top comment, on a corporate PR emergency, to what I imagine is exactly what an underhanded PR operative might do.

I think this suggests that HN -- which I believe is managed with some of the best intentions and methods out there right now -- has some of the same vulnerabilities as the subject of this story.

Just in case anyone's not familiar with it, I figured it's worth pointing that rustfmt is also really customizable, using a `rustfmt.toml` file in the source directory.
