I'm about to turn 76, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who thoroughly disagrees. Life is just as full of thrills and chills, ups and downs, pleasure and pain, as it always was.

From your new found knowledge of the 4116, do you have any insight into why the 4116 have a reputation for failure? They are often wholesale replaced with 4164 in old equipment.
Right, don't underestimate Samsung - they have top tier fabs and manufacture a lot of chips. If the world has all their eggs in the basket of one company that company is ASML.
German, grammar is extremely regular, sometimes it sounds strange "baletttanzerin". Polish would be Perl5 - TIMTOWTDI grammar is extremely flexible, that even the experts have trouble understanding perfectly correct sentences. English would be js, seems regular but it is not. But that's just my (eastern) eurocentric perspective.

Perhaps the fixes for the problems we have shouldn't involve some patchwork bodge to the laws that align our principles but should instead start at investigating why we need these bodges in the first place? It's an unthought out idea but between existing slander laws, a reasonable expectation of common sense/reason from your average citizen and a lack of corruption in government; I'm wondering if setting up the systems to ensure those aforementioned areas are solid would take care of the free speech problems for us.
That's what flash memory does, it can store four bits per cell (quad-level-cell)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-level_cell

The Intel 8087 math coprocessor stored two bits per transistor in its microcode ROM. It used four transistor sizes / voltage levels. This was necessary to fit the microcode on the die. https://www.righto.com/2018/09/two-bits-per-transistor-high-...
He is the narrative fallacy made human. And the fact that so many people enthusiastically support his platitudes is truly a sign of the intellectual barren that the current social-media era is.
Railroads dominated and had superior budgets. Then cars showed up and turned everything around. People wanted them, got them. Infrastructure had to adapt to cars, because they became the dominant transportation form.

Harmful for whom? For common folks, who are trying to download a movie but get a virus instead - yes, very harmful. For the parties who have a say about the situation - not really: Google/Bing/DDG lose nothing (given that all search engines behave the same), "copyright holders" win.

This is a part of the effort to decrease visibility of piracy and to drive to the "freak" zone: "piracy is illegal and dangerous, so better go watch some Netflix, kids!".

And it has been successful so far: how many teenagers you know who pirate stuff? A few generations ago it was normal, but now it isn't.
A possible better way than better, is being different :)

When you try to make a better product, you are automatically comparing yourself to other products. Instead, when you try to be different you are creating your own niche and your own rules. Yor product will not be compared against others. At least if you fail, you will be original and not another copy-cat.
Oh, wow. I'd imagined buying or designing a microwave with this API. This is wonderful! I've heard that the terrible APIs on most microwave are due to pressure from management to increase feature count, or something.

There are some older military historians who do great work and don't get respect, because just doing military history is considered old fashioned. And some of the old methods are not necessary bad, just considered bad but I don't always agree with that assessment.

My life is the living playbook of pursuing prestige. Went to Harvard, then consulting, then big tech. Initial pride quickly gave way to disillusionment at every step of the way.

Yes, there are people who genuinely enjoy these positions. But they are truly few and far between. The more in demand a position is, the less pressure the employer has to actually make it a fulfilling experience.

My brother in law works in aerospace, he worked on a project which involved a mars mission - the catastrophic error was that part of the software worked in metric and part of it worked in imperial measures.

The examples I use are meant to be frivolous and amusing, but more importantly they're examples that it's safe to share in a demo. I've done some work on importing financial details into SQLite and Datasette (so far just using CSV exports from online banking) but they're not something I'm comfortable sharing in a video!

I should probably add a note about those to my presentations - explicitly call out that you can absolutely import financially sensitive data into a personal data warehouse like this, but it won't be something you'll want to show other people.
I'm totally philosophically aligned with this article and enjoyed reading it, but I'm just interested to hear whether anyone else has this problem: More and more stuff I read seems to be name-droppy like this. For instance, I've been reading "The Psychology of Money" recently, and I'm enjoying it, but its style is a lot like this article; an endless series of anecdotes about famous and semi-famous people, with insights from the author tying them together. Is this a new trend of some kind, or has it just become more obvious to me lately?

Edit: Ha! I did not catch the part at the end where this is the same author as that book. Ok then!
The problem I've observed is also that (for performance / reward purposes), managers lie as hell when it comes to their team performance. The bigger the company, the less actual signal is received by upper managers because everyone doctors the hell out of this numbers. It might be impossible to even KNOW who the best team in your company is.

I agree Yglesias and Klein are more substantive. But although they’re not my cup of tea, Greenwald and Taibbi have developed a large following addressing surveillance and Wall Street, which is why I mentioned them.

I personally disliked Taibbi for the gross misogyny of his humor, but he sounds like a totally different person now that he’s a family man. Chastened and humbled.

If you're not willing to have a conversation on the merits without resorting to accusing the other person of deliberate lies, you shouldn't be on HN.

Right now you're basically saying that anyone who disagrees with your extremely narrow definition can't just be wrong, but also must be a self-interested shill for Tesla. Sure, there's probably TSLA holders or employees here that talk it up, but your inability to see anyone's comment that reflects well on Tesla as something other than self-interest instead of honest opinion is devolving your comments to the quality of conspiracy theories instead discussion.
Because it's a "mass psychology" BS explanation based on the premise of "others are misguided/idiots/sheep/Stockholmed and I know the truth/true freedom" - as opposed to a good faith argument, understaning that it's an ideological preference and that others (including people with 10 times the degrees, career experience, computer science knowledge of the author, can think otherwise).

If that very basic thing needs to be spelt out, I'm not sure how any discussion is possible...

I'm not sure. In his article on "Building Online Communities" (http://hintjens.com/blog:117) he says he experimented with building online communities for three years and gathering results, and that ZeroMQ is his biggest success (at being organised to defend to both vendor capture, or takeover by a single powerful/competent/rude contributor). For background of why that was his focus, he wrote this (http://hintjens.com/blog:125#toc15) about his experiences with working on OpenAMQ:

"""In late 2009, the Chair and Red Hat sat down and decided, in a secret meeting, to rewrite the spec. [...] From scratch. By himself. After years and years of committee work. After years of investment by others in working code. Without asking anyone except Red Hat. And then, to force this spec through the working group using his usual tactics: bullying and lobbying. [...]

One of my spin-off projects was the Digital Standards Organization, and I came to understand what was needed to protect a standard from predatory hijack. I summarized the definition of a "Free and Open Standard" as "a published specification that is immune to vendor capture at all stages in its life-cycle." What the "free" part means is, if someone hijacks your working group and starts to push the standard in hostile directions (as Red Hat did), can you fork the standard and continue? Does the license allow forking, yes or no? And secondly, does the license prohibit "dark forks," namely private versions of the standard?

If either answer is "no," then you are at the mercy of others. And when there is money on the table, or even the promise of money, the predators will move in. The AMQP experience gave me a lot of material for my later book on psychopaths. [...]

If we'd managed to build a thriving community around OpenAMQ, it would have survived. So the lesson here is simple: community before code. Today this is obvious to me. Eight years ago, it wasn't."""

And reference this (http://hintjens.com/blog:120) Social Architecture FAQ which talks about rude but highly skilled people contributing to projects (read that with "community before code" and the quote "if you want to go fast go alone, if you want to go far go together" in mind).

I have no idea why you think that Synapse isn't finished. It exited beta last summer, and is a pretty decent and robust server these days.

It's extremely naive and the fraternal order of police would never let it pass. I predict they'd all stand down rather than serving in such a ridiculous fashion.

First you should take into account that the US is not the UK (or another European nation where police officers don't carry guns). We have a serious gang and violent crime problem here. Cities like Chicago are battlefields, there are multiple murders every weekend. On holidays, you can casually see 100+ murders take place in two days.

Combine that with a big underclass population, wide availability of guns and drugs that induce and amplify psychotic behavior, intense racial hatred, hatred of the police, entire city blocks being infested with gangs, drugs and guns and do you really think disarming the police is going to solve anything? It's a recipe for disaster that's going to empower criminals and cause even more violence and death in the future.

You can't pretend -like most progressives- these problems don't exist just because you're well-off, living in your upscale, well-patrolled neighborhood. This is you living in a bubble. Most of the folks advocating for disarming the police, should go take a stroll in South Side Chicago or east St. Louis.
I keep roughly 10% of my net worth in cash... That equates to several years of expenses. It may be excessively high but it lets me sleep at night. You joke, but the past year shows something like a zombie apocalypse is a possibility.

That’s cool! Windows’ backwards compatibility is amazing. It also allows for feature detection so a program can work on 3.11 but also look and feel native on 10.

I played around with that here: https://github.com/sjmulder/netwake

It’s a simple utility but it works on Windows 3.11 (with Win32s) and up, but supporting high DPI, font scaling, and theming on Windows versions that support it.

To be fair, I think many of their Mac-related problems over the past few years are a result of no one being able to defend the line internally, too. Management is a difficult problem.

Speculating about borderline terrorist behavior is fun but it would surprise no one if it actually happened. Copyright is "legitimate" and so such operations would not even be clandestine. The copyright industry has access to actual police forces who respond with extreme violence whenever someone threatens the artificial scarcity of their imaginary property even though the perpretators are not violent themselves.

My concern with "compassion" is that you can have perfect "compassion" for an adversary you regard as "objectively evil": they may be evil but they're pitiful. Whereas "empathy", to my mind, calls upon you to strive for understanding, however imperfect — making it harder to dehumanize the adversary. But dehumanization tempered by compassion is still better than its pure, distilled form.
I interpret this to mean that human brains work best with constraints, artists do this all of the time, constraints are great

You manage your identities and attributes locally on your computer. No need to trust a third party service with your data.

Why do people assume that is a good thing? I do cybersecurity at work (among other things) and it takes a lot of effort to keep things both available and secure. My home PC, not to mention PCs of my friends, are never going to be as secure.

A system which has a chance will have to be federated, not local-only.

The best long term solution to overbearing copyright is to make people not depend on salaries for living.

Because else, all other things like talent being equal, a lot of the best content will be from those that have the income/time (afforded by income)/resources (afforded by income)/practice time (afforded by income)/etc to create it, and thus be given for pay, not with a permissive license.

Especially true for things that have different "production values" that cost money (movies, music, animation, and so on) - might not apply to e.g. poetry or other arts, or, in your example, to someone drawining comics (which can be done on the cheap).
# Microwave oven

- Display in orange, just bright enough.

- Default to no clock until time is set.

- Quality-feel dial for duration. Digital and dynamic so faster spinning adds more time per rotation.

- Quality-feel dial for power.

- Quality-feel dial for function, or possibly buttons for this.

- Dial could be pushed for start or other feature. Push again for pause. Push and hold for reset.

- Door opens downward, horizontally mounted.

- Door has a handle; no door button.

- One single pleasurable beep or sound when finished. Alternatively: continuous sound modulated to convey how long remains. Alternatively: silent switch!

- Never beep unnecessarily nor inexplicably.

- Expire remaining time after a short while.

- Indicate when not empty but not running.

- Less noisy afterward than during.

- Large enough.

Make the bottom as flat possible while still rotating content. Rotate the radiation stuff instead? Probably too complex.

I have had absolutely no issue with this, personally. I have gotten multiple FAANG offers and have turned them down every time, and I still don't have any on my resume. What's the rush? They're always hiring -- niche, smaller, lesser-known, earlier-stage companies are not.
It's not really a fair comparison since it doesn't need anything to grow on to and growing straight up isn't that hard.
Sundar's complete destruction of Google's massive goodwill has been spectacular. And sad.
Just because those narratives may be used by the self-interested doesn't mean that are false in all cases. There are shorters, there are shills pushing the opposite way, but not every negative things said is a shorter, and not everything positive said is a shill.
Seems to me starting with microprogramming adds complexity that doesn't necessarily make sense for a risc instruction set? Heck, this guy does a Verilog Z-80 without microprogramming. https://dl.acm.org/doi/book/10.5555/3199987

While true the microprogramming ops are much simpler, the inherent parallelism means writing that stuff and getting it correct is usually challenging.

Since there seem to be many microwave oven enthusiasts here, I post this less related question here: Why do all microwave ovens have this inconvenient, insanely loud, lock? And is there a way to get rid off that noise (and while we’re at it, to quite down that finished-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep)?

All info that I could find revolves around more or less that we have a deadly device in our homes and any UX convenience added means more deaths/mio.

But having a smooth opening door, a no noise lock and instead of that beep a notification on my smart watch, seem like doable improvements.

IRC's discourse model is asynchronous and ephemeral, so if someone found IRC is enough then one will of course do expect messages to be ephemeral in any IRC replacements. Pretty sure that this is not a majority opinion, but this might be one reason.
The resources curse really is about staying bad, not turning bad. We must realize that all countries 300-400 years ago were 'bad' by out perspective.

Countries with a dominant resources that only found them when they were already developed don't suffer from the 'resource curse'.

In such cases not having resources doesn't mean you turn into Switzerland or Canada rather it means that it will be harder for one dominant dictator to hold on to power. In some African countries that are now proto-democracies, dictators simply couldn't hold on to power without easily available resource base.

The Dictator's Handbook' is quite interesting.
