You could also use tools like Synergy or input director, they make it so that you can use 2 pcs with one set of keyboard and mouse. It works great and you can even game with it, very low latency. The benefit is that you have a separate pc, so you could use Windows and Linux etc.

They're conventional reactors of 10x smaller size using LEU. Kind of like naval reactors but without enriched nuclear fuel used on military ships designed to operate for 30 yr without refueling the reactor. They can make better safety guarantees than utility scale.
Can we, as a community, cause damage and annoyance to RIAA executives and their member company executives? Here are some ideas:

- Ban them from dating sites

- Ban their kids from instagram/tiktok/whatever

- Have web shops show all items as out of stock for them

- Refuse to do business with them or their families, in general

- subscribe them to real life spam

- send their office envelopes of glitter

I'm sure others can think of other methods. Maybe it's just vindictiveness on my part, but maybe it will make them reconsider their life choices if said choices came at a cost of permanent inconvenience.
The "where would Uber be" comment you quoted from seems to be expressing the opposite sentiment from the other two, at least the way I read it. Sure when I saw that thousand microservices talk I thought "what a (comparative) shit show" but many people admired the concept.
Fair enough. Very very very few devices, however.
Isn’t MIT a public university?

Edit: no, it’s a private land grant university. What kind of socialism is this, anyway? How is this structure even valid, if not for historical precedent?

Nothing against socialism or even my point, really. Just very odd to see how blatantly discriminatory and contradictory this seems to have a private university performing a necessary public service, with free land from the state. Not that the work isn’t well done, or anything. Just bears strict scrutiny.

Election polls are almost always right for the only ultimate answer that matters: who is going to win[0]. They also accurately predict the margin of victory. Same link. Polls, in general, are typically measuring tendencies or preferences, which they also (tend to) accurately capture. So saying they are always wrong doesn’t really make sense, as they are not trying to be right in an absolute sense. The error is with the reader who misconstrues what the poll is measuring and how it is doing so.

Ask HN: Why isn’t finance a part of the core curriculum at schools?
I think that in today’s world financial literacy is more important than ever to financial success in life and yet it seems like many kids graduating high school are financially illiterate. In my opinion everyone should a fundamental understanding of how a savings account, CD account, IRA, Roth IRA, 401(k) and MSA account work. Likewise, everyone should have a fundamental understanding of the equity markets, derivatives markets, futures markets, bond and treasury markets along with an understanding of how interest rates work and their effects on financial instruments like mortgages. Kids should be taught about the various forms of business structures available to them from starting a simple DBA to the numerous flavors of corporations out there. All this can be taught without giving financial advice, which may be more in the domain of parents, but by focusing on the theoretical and historical aspects of financial instruments so that kids have a better understanding of how they work and are better prepared for life in general.
If the law reached a point where the defendant in all of those scenarios would be found not guilty provided they were wearing a t-shirt at the time saying "My intent is to not kill someone", then we would probably agree that the law is not fit for purpose.

Similarly, if the difference between illegal software and legal software is the value of a random ID in a unit test, or the presence of a boilerplate "Please don't use this for copyright infringement" message in the README, then the law isn't really "promoting the Progress of Science and useful Arts", it is just a gotcha trap for developers who forget to copy-paste a piece of text.

But a strict improvement on the preprocessor madness that you have to get into with C. Having `static if`-like behavior is much preferable to `#ifdef` and the like and other things falling out of that system is just a bonus.

It's tempting to view `comptime` as additional complexity, but the truth is that it replaces a much more complicated and hard-to-work-with system. That one is just one that people have gotten used to over decades.
> Steinberg, who agrees with the statistical view of the situation, argues that a single tunneled particle can’t convey information. A signal requires detail and structure, and any attempt to send a detailed signal will always be faster sent through the air than through an unreliable barrier.

This argument doesn't make a lot of sense to me. One particle arriving can signal information that some event has occurred at the source. Re: structure/complexity I imagine you could use different elements (and maybe spin too?) to form several bits.
100% agree. I'm moving my family to Apple.
Thanks for doing God's work here. Had to go all the way to the second page to find a copy to clone.

What a ridiculous thing to ban. I've only ever used youtube-dl to grab copies of videos that I'm in but didn't upload, in the event that those videos were to disappear in the future.
What needs to be published is not that you match the targeting. The information that needs publishing is „who is targeting which ad with what criteria.“ That is:

The advertiser, The ad, the targeting given.

None of this contains private information and it‘s equivalent to what‘s known about ads in a newspaper.
This is a solution to a non-problem. Hosting taken down git repos is easy an due to gits design all developers already have the source code.

The real problem is hosting issues and PRs in such a way. Github has an API and it's possible to script the backup but source code gets backup automatically so when the takedown strikes it's not a big problem.

I'm curious to know what you think should happen to those. They are songs after all, and some people liked them because they actually do like them as songs, so how would Google determine what reason you liked them for?

Thanks for posting it. I don't think I've looked at this set of tools since it was Metacard.

I love these threads every time they come up. Mostly because I loved HyperCard.

Without fail, everything suggested as a modern HyperCard replacement really nails at least one element of its spirit and really misses something else.

I think this is one of the closer ones overall. Its adherence to the stack model is much closer than the others and its programming language certainly is closer to HyperTalk than any other I recall, besides AppleScript.

Your walk through showcases the similarity really nicely.

It even looks like you can write the spiritual equivalent of an XCMD.

I think where LiveCode misses the boat is the packaging step necessary for distributing your "Apps". With HyperCard, we passed around stack files. And unless we took some special steps to prevent it, they were also the preferred form for editing our programs. So if I gave my stack to you, you could run it as a program. But you could also edit and change it.

That default, where I could throw the exact thing I was working on onto a floppy and hand it to my dad, who could run it on his machine but also edit it if he wanted to is something I really haven't seen replicated.

Maybe that's a side of HyperCard that just can't be recreated today. Or just shouldn't, until the tooling to run the "stacks" gets distributed by default with a major OS.

Thanks for causing a fun re-exploration of a space that was really influential for me.
No conclusion can be made from your sample size of one. Such battery issues may arise with any device, plugged in or not.

In which case we know, and the "but it's a NEW Microsoft" crowd can pound sand.

I see ... an outside ... case Microsoft's not in the engineered-scarcity racket. I wwouldn't bet the farm, but it could be an interesting side wager.
Funny I read exactly the opposite.

The advice is probably good for any large organization, having worked at very successful startups with a few hundred people and mega-corps ... you absolutely have to understand how the decision making works if you want to get anything done.

FYI 'politics' is not bad, it's just all the bits that are unspoken about the operating nature of a company.

That is literally the one thing which I wish I had understood when venturing into a much bigger company.

In fact, what he should really say is 'I wish Shopify would formalize' the nature of how decisions are made etc..

Edit: I think younger people with less familiarity about the 'real nature' of large organizations might possibly misread that because it's sometimes hard to understand how some companies work, and it's easy to be cynical (frankly, many companies are 'political' in a bad way). In reality - this 'advice' is the revelation that anyone in middle management makes when they get into their 30's. Everything is making sausage, nothing is obvious except in hindsight, getting anything done is kind of hard, the company has limited ability to innovate on the margins, and social organizations are made of people, which means 'it's political' that doesn't mean it's bad, it just means you have to think about it differently. Middle management is hard, especially for those in staff positions without 'direct power' and are not high enough up to have meaningful legitimate authority for the scope of a project.
I get that, and yeah it's bad. But there's also a deep frustration with how these fuckers can do this stuff and get away with it. So how does one push back?

> I'm terrified of climate change.

> If nuclear could compete on cost,

For the life of me, I cannot understand the disconnect in thinking for people who recognize the need for bold action on climate change and then in the next breath fret about money.

It's gonna cost money. It's gonna require work. It's going to not only be opportunity cost, but require us to do stuff. This is what it means to have climate change as a priority. It's a priority above money, above GDP growth, above even the standard of living. It should be our highest priority, and we should be prepared to roll up our sleeves and hit everyone up for money. It's a debt we need to pay, and there's no getting out of it.

> The more we learn about nuclear, the more expensive it seems to get, in contrast to pretty much any good tech.

At this point in time we need to push the dollar cost much further down our list of priorities and be shooting for what's going to avoid catastrophe and what's sustainable. (spoiler: nuclear energy is absolutely sustainable; there are literally billions of years of nuclear fuel accessible to us).
I could never understand what makes some people believe that using hydrogen makes sense.

Hydrogen is just a means of STORING energy and it is one of the worst for this purpose.

If we restrict the discussion just to storing energy as chemical energy, like with hydrogen, then almost any alternative has either better energetic efficiency or better energy density and in most cases is much better for both criteria.

For example, flow batteries have excellent energetic efficiency, much better than hydrogen could ever achieve, but they have low energy density, i.e. they must be very large for a given storage capacity.

For high energy density, nothing beats the method invented by the living beings a few billions of years ago, i.e. storing energy in hydrocarbons.

How to make synthetic fuel has already been known for about a century, it just is not much used yet because fossil petroleum is cheaper.

Instead of wasting huge amounts of money in pointless hydrogen research, all the efforts should have been directed to improving the efficiency and cost of fuel cells using some hydrocarbons and of the synthesis of some hydrocarbons from water and carbon dioxide.

That these targets are indeed achievable, unlike using hydrogen for storage, which has fundamental limitations, is proved by the existence of the living beings which use their equivalents.
The output has to be indistinguishable from random, and colliding n bits needs to take an exponential amount of time.

Output length can be anything. As long as it's indistinguishable from random, the chance of collision will be exponentially rare, and you can truncate or concatenate to get the length you want.
Missing Element in EU Open Source Strategy
The EU published its Open Source Strategy

https://ec.europa.eu/info/sites/info/files/en_ec_open_source_strategy_2020-2023.pdf

I have been doing free and open source software since 1997.

I read the EU OSS document. It is all very nice. I wish it would come true. But it misses a couple vital points.

The first point is that FOSS is generally led and developed by a very small number of people. These people have a focus on their particular problem. Most FOSS projects would be destroyed if all of the EU countries suddenly depended on a "hobby" project. They need to identify key projects that every country needs.

The second point is they missed the "money question". I have contacted businesses, governments, charities, universities, and philanthropists to ask for funding. I have tried the "patronage" model and even asked developers to contribute. So far I have raised $0 dollars.

FOSS development is not free. I estimate that I have spent about $3000 (US) dollars every year for the last 20 years. I have to buy hardware, pay for a net connection, attend conferences, and pay for a website. My time spent on fixing things or adding features for other people accounts for $0 of that.

After 50 years I have the benefit of meeting and getting advice from world-class experts. For one project, an email exchange is reasonable. For a whole EU project, this does not scale. You need to find a funding model.

The EU does have some funding efforts, like the NSF in the U.S. Of course, the NSF has rules like: "We will not give grants to projects that compete with existing proprietary products" and "We require a fiduciary organization (i.e. a university office to take 50% of the grant as 'overhead'".

I tried to get companies to create a "free accounting organization" that would receive and manage grant money at minimal overhead. Even that failed.

So this document is pretty. But it is obvious that it is just a daydream.

I thought I'd never leave the Google Play subscription, it was by far the best value covering both Play music + ad-free YouTube. But with this move I'll be switching over to an Apple One subscription once available later in the year.

Google Play is simple, clean with syncing that just works everywhere I need to access it with a simple checkmark to specify which playlists I want downloaded that worked well in offline mode. Now I'm being forced into using a new music web, mobile & car play apps which prioritizes music videos? I don't think so.

I don't know which bean counters are responsible for this decision but I can't imagine the cost of maintaining a skeleton crew to upkeep a frozen service would be more than the irreparable harm done to its millions of customers being forced to a use a service they don't want to, who'll be using it as an inflection point for deciding which Service they'd prefer to use instead.

I'll still be keeping the ad-free YouTube for the near future, but it went from being indispensable to being the next subscription on the chopping block if my time on YouTube wanes further. I'm already spending more of my time on Twitch, that if the move to Apple Music is well received by the family I'll be leaving Google Play entirely over this.

You can also bet my trust for investing in using new Google services is also shot at this point, I'd rather put my time and resources into a customer focused alternative than the disregard Google has shown its long time customers, time and again.

Figures it doesn't work. They don't care.

To every Google employee reading this: your company sucks. Tell that to your manager.

With the exception of Youtube, I will never use Google entertainment products again. No Stadia, no Google Play Movies. I don't know what their vision is for product, but whatever it is subtracts from the world. I was worried a decade ago when I saw music moving into the cloud. Now my fears are confirmed. Google never intended to be a good custodian.

Google shits whatever goodwill it establishes right down the toilet. They do it at every turn.

Before Google's music subscription product, I bought a lot of music on the service. And now they're deleting it all. All of my playlists and listening history is disappearing. That's not a good feeling.

Screw you, Google.

After the DOJ takes your illegal money printing machine away, you won't have customers left to go chasing after.

This is a little pedantic, but I don't think it's fair to say France has also had a terrible experience with nuclear energy. According to Wikipedia [1], they've have about 15 major incidents totaling about 1 death and 300 million dollars in additional cost, while 70% of their electricity is nuclear.

Additionally, the TGV has been a rousing success (they closed down their domestic airline because it couldn't compete in price) in part because they had access to such cheap, consistent power.
