I used a DOS program called blue beep to try it in the early 1990s. Got the famed kerchunk noise once, but was unable to get any further.

Even by 1993 electronic switching was replacing the kinds of old analog systems you could do this with.

This article is from 2018 and he implies that it can still do something. That would be shocking. Maybe there are still systems around that respond to 2600 in some way for legacy reasons... I do know that there are some ancient switches here and there but that old?
This is entirely correct, and it also true that there are more opportunities in the startup world to build something meaningful and exciting from scratch and to have an unforgettable experience doing it. Not quite everyone is in tech for the money..

If you're using the OS as packaged by Google on their branded phones (i.e. in the same manner as iOS packaged by Apple for iPhones), why would it make any difference to you one way or the other?
I read the discussion. There's no drama at all. Paragon did an unreviewable code dump with intent to maintain and they are warmly welcome in general. David laid out the path to review and probable acceptance https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/20200815190642.GZ2026@... If there was any fuss it's because of the unreviewable nature of the patch but especially by kernel standards the discussion was cordial. In fact, aside from Nikolay's outburst by any standard it was a cordial discussion. (Someone should've gently told him this is no way to welcome newcomers especially newcomers carrying such a gift.)

Others noted it needs to pass the existing test suite and that it is close.
There's none of that in the flight simulator games.

Are there haptic chairs or force feedback joysticks or yokes on the market?
> My biggest problem is just having work thoughts come up

I remember an interview with David Allen of GTD, and he was asked what he had planned for the afternoon, and he said, “I don’t know. I’ll find out then”. At the time, I hadn’t used GTD much, and I thought this was tongue in cheek. Years later I realized he was dead serious.

The big win of GTD (or similar) is not a Swiss Army knife of task management. The big win is returning mental bandwidth to you.
We have a very good synergy between nuclear and renewables in France, see:

Amazingly force feedback has actually been a thing for a while although no recent joysticks seem to support it. People horde the old MS Force Feedback 2 sticks. It does add a lot in particular to things like setting trim to feel the weight on the controls.

I meant like GitHub and competitors, which let you attach comments to specific lines and files and such, and perhaps follow references into the full code faster than you could flipping between your mail client and your editor (and save you the effort of applying the patch to a local tree for that review). Since the kernel developers prefer to discuss on a plain mailing list and not use such tools, it makes sense that they prefer smaller chunks.

27 kLOC will be a big project to review no matter what, but I'd probably rather take them in a single commit--the files presumably depend on each other, and there's probably no order in which the files could be reviewed in isolation without reference to files not yet reviewed. (Obviously we try for hierarchical structure that would make that possible, but not usually with perfect success.)

That's a matter of personal preference, though, and people who want a project to merge their contributions should adhere to the maintainer's preferences. In any case, it seems Paragon intends to do exactly that. I doubt Paragon expected their reward for their contribution would be an article read by thousands of people that called it "half-baked" over this minor point, and I can't imagine such publicity encourages others to make similar contributions in future.
The obvious use to recycle silicon cells is to replace metallurgical silicon (which is far less pure) in the feed to the production of trichlorosilane. Failing that, just melt it with aluminum in the production of silicon-aluminum alloys.
Disclaimer: I’m not a pilot in real life.

In MS Flight Simulator so far, I noticed that I quickly developed a habit of flying almost 100% from instruments even when there’s great visibility outside. I don’t know if that’s because of what you describe here, or because it’s difficult for me to manipulate the camera and fly the plane at the same time, or because this is actually just the best way to fly a plane. Either way, it’s worked pretty well for someone like me who had no flying experience. I’m also terrible at racing sims for what it’s worth.

> It's true that C++ doesn't have this problem, because it has no super keyword and you must explicitly delegate everything

It's emphatically not "having a super keyword" or not having it. That's a red herring. Visual C++ has __super and yet it doesn't suffer from this: it errors with "ambiguous call to overloaded function" when there are multiple candidates.

There's a lot more I could say about this (frankly the issue I outlined just scratch the surface of a deeper problem in Python), but this is diverting the discussion. Nobody even said C++ is simple or somehow easier to learn than Python in the first place; I was just pointing out an insidious issue in Python, and frankly, it could've been done better without any need to emulate C++'s approach at all. (Exercise for the reader: suggest improvements.)

> Apple absolutely can decide who is in or out: it’s their platform.

The HW device is not theirs.

> Amazon absolutely has a say of what they carry in their store

They have no say of what's inside the box.

If inside the box there is a sticker that says "buy from our store, it's cheaper" they can't be forced out

Maybe Amazon can find other ways of kicking products out, but not that one

Apple wrote that rule inside their agreements

Which is clearly unfair competition

Apple competes directly with publishers on the store, being both entities that make the software that people can buy on the only store available, Amazon does not compete directly, they don't manufacture what they sell, they simply resell.

> It is currently a fantasy to think otherwise.

again: EU exists and take this matters seriously.

China could find itself in a digital war with US and it's the third most important market in the World for Apple.

Things can change very quickly

> most consumers hate the terrible curation of their marketplaces lately.

Considering how many posts I've seen about broken or fake products sold on Amazon, it's quite clear that the real fantasy is thinking that a marketplace where only one decides what's good and what's not doesn't produce a better curated and more secure experience
>If you rely on bio-authentication methods, you risk your privacy especially when the master database gets compromised.

It's my understanding that these methods (TouchID, FaceID) don't actually store your thumb prints or images of your face rather they store hashes of the output. Similar to how passwords should never be stored in plain text.
Actually that command seems accurate, because the instructions is to do the reverse of what you googled - it's telling people "how to make an image from a disk device", but in this case the image file has the ".iso" file extension.

But I agree about "copy paste instructions". I remember an intern at work asking me how to switch between virtual terminals on Linux, I told her Ctrl-Alt-Fx, I wanted to explain what virtual terminals are and how the shortcuts are probably configurable, but at that point she already stopped listening...
It's impossible to fully prove a negative (e.g. prove this code has no bugs, prove there isn't a teacup hiding behind mars), but each study gives us tentative confidence to do larger and larger studies.

If we really are nearing an automation revolution which requires us to become a demand-constrained society, then we will want to understand how people behave with UBI.

If not, then it's still good to understand the nature of unconditional cash transfer programs (even if temporary), for scenarios like the pandemic in the US or as an alternative to other forms of aid in developing economies.
If xBox ever gets to the same total market size as the iPhone, in terms of raw numbers, revenue, ect then maybe it should be.

The iPhone is has 10 times a larger market than Internet Explorer did when it lost the anti trust case, for comparison.
Yep. Over the last two years i've been fortunate enough to have a lot of time on my hands. In that time i've built 3 and a half successful products. 6 days of (thinking mostly, some research) about what to do. 1 day of actually doing it. It's so easy to spend that one day completely and productively - I already know what i'm supposed to do, I just have to sit down and do it.

The 6 days (not always 6 - maybe more, maybe less) let me come up with and throw out stupid ideas before i've coded them. By the time I come to build something it's a carefully considered thing that'll actually be useful most of the time.

It's not just feature ideas either, it's code design, data design, anything that might be complicated enough that I used to spend multiple days experimenting. It doesn't always work out, but when it doesn't, i've thought it through enough that I have a head start on coming up with a better design.
What does GTD mean?

Edit: Getting Things Done (GTD) for anyone unaware like me.

Pro writing tip: first write out the words of an acronym before defining it like I did above or the reader will be confused.
Not only that -- a lot of people pursue "innovative" technologies and try to build something all new, when existing ideas have only reached 1% of the market that need them because it takes a lot of work to actually get people on board.
I have no opinion on TikTok (I am an adult with better things to do,) however, fair question: does TikTok pose a threat? There was a report that TikTok users sabotaged a Trump rally. It would seem that that could be considered “election campaign interference sponsored/enabled by a foreign government.” We’ve gotten mad at Facebook for similar things haven’t we? Or, if it’s against Trump, that’s acceptable? Not sure what the rules are anymore or what we are supposed to be outraged about.
I wouldn't say it is inenvitable. It has been on some presidential platforms since at least 2000 with Al Gore,although noone with an acceptable platform has ever been elected.More and more people are realizing the issue, as genZ and millennials become the majority I think change is more likely then not.

For a client we added support for some synonymous Azure services to the AWS ones we use and I’ll be honest, the amount of garbage the Azure SDK created in our JVM codebase was quite annoying.

Now, I fully understand a Java SDK isn’t going to get quite the same love as their bread and butter, but everything about their Java SDK feels like, just copy the .NET SDK and make it work in Java.

I assumed the telemetry traces (or attempted traces) I was seeing, even with every configurable telemetry config flag EXPLICITLY set to disabled was just more of their bad choices of log levels, leaky internal log messages, and just generally not doing things “the Java way”.

Now I’m starting to wonder if there’s just flat out no way to turn all the telemetry off. Originally we built with the AWS and Azure SDKs and the cloud providers were configurable at run time. I was getting so annoyed with the garbage that MSFT was leaving in our logs even when disabled and running in AWS that we eventually bifurcated our build and re-organized the project.

We spent about a week adding abstractions we previously didn’t need, and another week testing, for what we were assuming was just an annoyance. Turns out maybe we were doing our other clients a solid and didn’t even know it.

Universities are complex combinations of several value propositions.

The most significant is real estate. Universities increase the value of real estate around them as they grow. Consequently, the last decade is the largest growth in higher ed real estate expansion - precisely as the surge into digital education could not be more obvious. Most of the billions in donations that higher ed receives goes to real estate.

Second, a degree is the only price protection universities enjoy. The evidence for this is massive - there has been an explosion of alternative learning institutions and systems. They can’t charge anything near what a university can. Universities are very, very aware of this.

The idea that universities are a service organization is mostly a myth. They are at best a feudal cartel. More than 50% of faculty are part-time and paid very poorly. Faculty who are worth tenure are directly responsible for sourcing government grants for research.

University administrators (and admission, i.e. marketing/PR departments) are painfully aware that they must project a mythic image of the “college experience” and employability in order to maintain public perception that they are a necessary right of passage. A recent study found only 2 in 100 students actually have that experience.

There is one ready market for this narrative: foreign, wealthy families - for whom a college degree is access to the American economy.

Universities are a highly adaptive entity that has formed over 100 years in relentless pursuit of their own survival. They have close to zero insight in terms of the education needs of students and even worse: when they are present with it they choose their fiction over a re-invention.

Nothing about this is surprising - it’s how all big corporations die.

To;dr; universities recognize any negotiation around reducing their price due to reduced services to be an existential threat and will fight it at all costs.
The security and privacy implications of this are horrifying to me, as are they to enough of the population that I doubt this will get widespread adoption.

One question: would a real CPU have a JL instruction or would that be implemented some other way, like a series of smaller instructions?

Agreed, economics is probably more like medicine or biology: complex systems often have 2nd or 3rd order effects that aren't apparent at first.

These studies should be seen like phase 1 clinical trials are, promising results lead to larger and larger trials.

There's potentially a lot to be gained if UBI works at scale, I'm optimistic to see more ambitious studies.

It's certainly the best way to fly in real life if you're flying IFR in zero visibility conditions!
This was addressed long ago https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/117379/155098 tl;dr: a) it's not impossible someone still uses the old tech b) it's easy to add a comment saying "this pertains to version X.Y, newer versions are different see [answer](link)" c) if the accepted answer is wrong then fix it, everyone can edit answers and people above 2000 can edit immediately, however note wrongness is very often subjective and expect pushback unless it is objectively, factually wrong.

For example, on my home turf, in PHP, the ancient create_function() has not been recommended to be used for many, many years now, it's deprecated now, and it'll be removed end of this year. But if you are diving into an old embedded system using PHP (owie, I know) then information about create_function() might be absolutely invaluable since noone has the slightest idea how to use it any more because it's already been out of use for a decade. A PHP 5.0 answer using create_function() doesn't become invalid just because PHP 5.3+ is using closures. For PHP 5.0 it is the correct answer.
>> Anyone can disagree, but my motives are clean,

It's called snake oil! Used since ancient times by "old and modern prophets" alike.
Generics can increase code bloat because they give the compiler less information, or the information is available too late.

For example, see how switching from a concrete to a generic type increases the size of clone() by 4x: https://rust.godbolt.org/z/qbYr3v

This is because at the point the compiler synthesizes clone() it has less information about the type.
Another thing to watch with cron is that its environment is NOT the same as running a script from your CLI, unless you specifically set those environment variables in your crontab.

Yep. This is one big reason so many scripts work fine from the CLI, then fail when run under cron. I've been bitten by that before.

For me, the script I was just working on was prototyped from the command line, logged in as a regular user. It wound up using sudo and running under the user crontab, and then ran into this very problem. It's not something I consider important enough to change, but you have a good point. It would be cleaner to just run it under the root crontab in the first place.
This is very cool. I’m sending the link off to an investor friend who is programming-savvy, and to some others who aren’t.

I can deal with the auto-complete. A list of fields would help whet the appetite of my less-programming savvy friends. Having a manual or tutorial would help, too. A good number of potential users are retired and might have more of that learning-style.

It would be useful to be able to get a list of the industries in your db so a user could deal with the inconsistencies of that naming data. For example, EIN, for instance, matches to profile.industry == "UtilitiesRegulated Electric" but the detailed info displays "Utilities Regulated Electric”. Others, like DUK, match to the latter. Both of these are on NYSE.

I was doing some simple queries, but now it’s not returning data. Maybe you're getting too much attention from hacker news.

Any thought or intention of adding historical data? And allowing for backtesting of screens?

What's your point about this nonstandard extension? My point is that C++ doesn't have the problem of classes not written to be part of a multiple inheritance hierarchy delegating somewhere unexpected because, by design, it doesn't attempt to solve the same problems that Python is. If anything that this nonstandard extension doesn't work in multiple inheritance is agreeing with the points I'm making.

> There's a lot more I could say about this (frankly the issue I outlined just scratch the surface of a deeper problem in Python), but this is diverting the discussion. Nobody even said C++ is simple or somehow easier to learn than Python in the first place; I was just pointing out an insidious issue in Python,

You were the one who brought up C++! (EDIT: this was in a cousin comment.) My point is that different languages navigate this thorny landscape in different ways, but the way in which Python does isn't as haphazard as you are suggesting.

> Exercise for the reader: suggest improvements

Perhaps being part of a multiple inheritance hierarchy is sharp and uncommon enough that it should be opt-in. What are yours?

Well, unfortunately, there aren’t any treatments for Covid-19. This is a shot in the dark for people who otherwise might just die.
Sure, and sometimes you can talk to people who are completely asleep.

I think we agree: it's not that simple. To my taste, a total lack of memory formation is on the unconscious side of this fuzzy, permeable boundary.

And that's just humans. When we start talking about complex software which isn't alive in any meaningful sense, all our intuitions should fail us.

They won't; our intuitions are stubborn things. But they are as likely to mislead as to inform.

What a weird article. Even though the CDC has dropped the 14-day self-quarantine recommendation, the CDC document "notes that those exposed to the coronavirus pose a risk of infecting others for 14 days".

It's unfortunate that the CDC (among many other agencies) got politicized. At the very least, such politicization ends up causing them to apparently write gibberish guidelines, and be less than believeable when something changes that merely looks like it was politically influenced.
That was great! Thank you so much for a recommendation! If you have any more, pls share :)
