Another take, since you didn’t define “the Internet”, so I might have misinterpreted. For me,

The Internet is the real Buddha of the 21st Century.

A perfect detached sovereign apparatus.

Unmoving, it rests on a billion routers and servers. Purest actuality and purest potentiality.

It is the embodiment of cosmic knowledge, and the human share in these,

The highest accomplishment of the human race, and the distraction from its ultimate happiness.

The triumph of technical rationality and its dissolution into chaos, frivolity and despair.

Its repose and its irony are endless.

It is the same to the Internet how it fulfills its mission, whether sitting idle or curing cancer or spreading an influencer video.

For it, the change of conditioned states does not count.

As with a Buddha, all there is to say is said by its mere existence.

The Internet is not a bit more evil than reality, and not a hair more destructive than we are.

The Internet is already completely incarnate, while we in comparison are still divided.

In the face of such an instrument, great listening is called for.

For have you actually ever listened to the Internet? The whirring of a billion fans, the ethereal hum of its photons and electrons? Fallen asleep to the gentle shush of packets making their appointed rounds? You’ll wake up a different person...

But perhaps your ear is deaf to the cosmic moan of the Universe straining to observe and understand itself through the Internet.

Then realize the Internet requires from us neither struggle nor resignation but the experience of ourselves.

We are the Internet.

Including me.

How dare you call me boring...

[this is a parody-ish paraphrase of a passage “the atomic bomb is the real Buddha of the West.” I remember it having been in a German book written in the 1960s, but by whom I cannot say. It was in a collection of quotations “Sunbeams” by Sy Safransky, North Atlantic Books, Berkeley 1990.]
The worst I have are some 418 statuses that return in rare cases.

You can still buy an Intel iMac Mini with 64GB RAM and 10GB ethernet. If you don’t like the M1 mini, buy the Intel one.
Scott, alas, stopped working on HN about a year ago.
I agree. The Internet has become boring and yet I constantly am on things like HN hoping to find the diamond in the rough. Something that’s interesting.

Used to be, everyday there was at least 5 or more interesting stories that just got me excited about something new to try or learn.

Now, I’ve become so complacent with relying on sources like HN that I can’t find things on my own anymore.

Google does suck now. It’s mostly marketing.

Websites like Lifehacker used have fun information, now it just “hey buy this deal” shit.

Reddit sucks. I don’t find that fun at all, I miss digg.com but that sucks now too.

The Internet used to be full of fun things like diggnation. Even MySpace was better than Facebook.

Ugh. All the shitty things have taken over.
Does anyone has idea why they do not have 32 or 64 GB RAM option? And Max out at 16 GB RAM?
> There’s a fantastic Elixir project called Rustler. It provides nice support on the Elixir and Rust side for making a safe NIF that is well behaved and using the guarantees of Rust is guaranteed not to crash the VM or leak memory

Hum, can someone talk more about these NIF and what special thing Rustler brings?

What's different from just any kind of native interop, like say Java JNI ?
> "We recognize the work that’s gone into the past 7 years and it sounds like this is a great landing spot for the team. We’re grateful for the opportunity to have supported you along the way."

That is incredible and, as the author says, classy. If I ever find myself actually doing the investment rounds for anything I create or help create, I hope that people like General Catalyst take an interest.
It is possible that protests motivated both Democrats and Republicans. The extent of this is unknown, the dust has barely settled. I suspect it will be an area of much research.
Can you re-use the due-diligence of the previous failed acquisition?
Rust fundamentally improves C++ with memory safety and allegedly provably correct concurrency. It is a vastly different set of assumptions, design, and opinions than C++.

What does Go do to fundamentally deviate from Java? IMO it is basically the same space with a few different opinions. It has GC, is C-style, a more modern stdlib than C/C++.
Still, one quarter to one third of the population doesn't fit what I would remotely consider to be "elite." And why is "almost everyone in your social circle" relevant?

It's one thing if you have a college degree and half of your acquaintances don't. It's another if you rarely have meaningful interactions with anyone who doesn't; in that case you're in a subculture that has very different experiences than the average American.
It's also a source of many solutions.

There are really no perfect option here. Upstream and distro developers have different goals, and it's up to you to decide what you should adopt.
Intriguing maps that reveal alternate histories

"incumbent losing" based on elections with rules changed at the last moment by activist judges and a growing list of inconsistencies... with at least one whistleblower who saw illegal actions in one state. (Illegal votes affects "popular vote" too.)

"Cruelty and emails" and the people talking "unity" are the ones who were silent when Obama built cages, droned hospitals and called 1/3rd of Americans "deplorables", "gun toting rednecks" and now "chumps" and "ugly"...

"epical corruption" The difference is there's hard proof of Clintons (and Biden's) corruption... there's still no hard proof of Trumps "corruption". Even leaked taxes has nothing illegal mentioned.

"Moral high ground" when comparing Democrats vs Republicans its easy to claim high ground against Democrats... They set a VERY low bar. So low that they lost to Trump.
From my experience, the touchpad and OS experience is decidedly better. This is a subjective judgement, but anecdotally I've heard it from many people.
The story about the police is ridiculous and in line with everything activists complain about. Police are not supposed to "puff up" they're supposed to be the cool heads.
I'm not sure if you're open to feedback, but based on what I'm hearing I would take the following actions if I were in your shoes:

1) Look into transitional housing facilities or permanent supportive housing programs near you, so you can stop worrying about rent for a period of 6-12 months.

2) Find a reliable source of food that is free or very cheap

3) Dedicate 2 days a week to learning and further development of your front-end dev skills

4) Dedicate the remaining days of the week to finding and completing contract work on Upwork.com. Start out by offering your services for a very small fee. The objective at the beginning is to just get good reviews (if you do a good job, people will come back and give you more work, but that's just a bonus). Once you have a few solid reviews under your belt, winning larger contracts will get easier.

5) Stop trying to flip things or doing anything else that doesn't reliably pay above $15/hr.
As mentioned elsewhere, the worse bug was in upstream, unpatched gdm.

It's been a very long time since I worked on a distro (former Canonical employee here) but every distro carries patches of some sort.
Not everyone is you.
And “scale”!
Thank you very much for sharing your DI experience. What is wrong with using IServiceProvider dependency? What is CTOR (hierarchy)?
The interface just doesn't bother me. I make reasonably good use of the hierarchical config providers including some custom ones. Plus it supports actually being able to live update the config values.

Meh, seems like just an interface to me.

Not quite, it's a subtle nuance. The concept of a shy Trump supporter is that they're afraid of a stigma associated with admitting support for Trump.

That is different than someone who just doesn't want to take a poll but may be perfectly happy to tell you their views if you struck up a conversation. My own observation is that over the last 4 years, Trump supporters have become ever more loud and proud of that support, not more shy.
But portable? That took till '81 as you say. I still have the TV, and with a converter box, it still displays OTA TV just fine; it wasn't great for text display, was something like 40 x 16 -- but that's better than 0x0. There are 9 D batteries --- it lasts about 2 days (48 hours). I used NiCd rechargeables, it lasted about 24 hours between recharges. And of course it had an AC adapter box.

Log-depth circuits are a useful abstraction but the constraints of laying out circuits in physical space imposes a delay scaling limit of O(n^(1/2)) for planar circuits (with a bounded number of layers) and O(n^(1/3)) for 3D circuits. The problem should be familiar to anyone who's drawn a binary tree on paper.
That is such a brillant work. I wonder how many bright minds were needed to handle all that! And quick to act, too! What if such an attack was done when most workers were sleeping?

That was the Chicago Sun-Times in 2013. https://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/01/business/media/chicago-su...

At Tronc, they had an all hands shortly after buying the NY Daily News. A staffer on the call said “we’re ‘New York’s picture paper’ but our equipment is all old. When can we get new cameras?” On the call, the execs said NYDN is losing money, so it will have to get profitable first. Then a few months later, they fired all photographers and social media people.

How does gnupg interact with contactless cards? I know for a contact smartcard if I try to perform an operation with the card not present, I get a prompt to insert the card, and then I get a prompt to enter the PIN when inserting the card and continuing. A contactless card in a ring form-factor is unlikely to be on the reader for long, though... is gnupg aware of contactless readers and will it e.g. ask for your PIN without the card being present and then prompt you to tap the card?

I'm aware that's what Android apps like OpenKeychain do, but I haven't been able to find much information on how gnupg/pinentry/etc behave with contactless cards.

Are there some other measurements based on something else, or is it something we now can never know as a result of mail in ballots having no polling and an expected different statistical distribution?

Thanks Dang and Sam!

I don't think I've read as many comments as I have on this thread and neither have I read every line of any other New York Times article as diligently!
Because it’s just creating e-waste, and if you do it enough they’ll stop selling you things.
To call it "embrace" is unfair to the parent comment. People get coerced to accept things all the time, especially when it concerns the future of their children. Very few people have an "all or nothing" kind of mentality when it comes to resisting establishment, especially when the cost of accepting is relatively minor. In this case, accepting the anti-cheat has a very low cost: enduring a crapware and spyware for a little while.

It's simply a compromise.
I don't think open exchange of people is useful, or ever has been. What has helped the U.S.'s "success" (in kicking ass, generally speaking) is one-way brain-draining of other countries.
I do think that there is room for ML/NLP tools to be useful but we haven't done much with that yet.

Probably looking through the flagged comments is the least favorite, as well as most repetitive and time consuming manual activity, for all the mods who do it.
How 2 MB could be considered heavy, when visiting most websites results in much larger sizes of downloaded resources?
Infrastructure for Ubi ??
Yeah, but it does mean it is no longer the same bike. If you replace every part of a bike, even one at a time over years, it is no longer the same bike. So it all depends on what GP means by "replacing some parts". Is it entirely new computer in a 20 year old case? Or is it a 20 year old computer with a couple sticks of RAM thrown in?

Regardless, I have a hard time believing a 20 year old computer is "working like a champ". I've found the most people who say their <insert really old phone or computer> works perfectly have just gotten used to the slowness. Once they upgrade and try to go back for a day, they realize how wrong they were. Like how a 4k monitor looks "pretty good" to someone that uses a 1080p monitor everyday, but a 1080p monitor looks like "absolute unusable garbage" to someone who uses a 4k monitor everyday.
As I said, these things are not constrained to one side or the other. Though Biden was a moderate, and overall there was more support for moderates in the aggregate than for the more extreme progressive views of Bernie. That could just have come down to a more cynical calculation about "electability" though.
> The onboard graphics performance seems to be impressive

I agree, although caveat emptor until independent benchmarks drop.

> I wonder if Valve and Epic will start compiling games for ARM

There are plenty of other problems besides lack of raw processing power that prevent the mac and macOS from being good gaming platforms. And of course, Epic and Apple are fighting it out over App Store policies, so they're unlikely to do each other any favors.
"The voter approaches their table, and gives their name and party affiliation. The party affiliation is used as a signal that something fishy might be going on if the ratio of R to D is very different from the votes recorded."

This sounds so weird to an Aussie. For most people when you enter the polling place, you get bombarded by party supporters with their "how to vote" leaflets. Most people take all or none to be polite and not indicate your preference. Inside you give your name and it is ruled through on the roll printout and you are handed your ballot papers. Once you vote in your little cardboard both you slot the paper in the box. You go outside, hand back the how to vote leaflets, and chat with people after you have bought your "democracy sausage" ( a hot dog bought from the local school or fire service fundraiser). No one really cares how you voted (and 95% of people eligible vote)

You've been experiencing that because your account is rate limited. We rate limit accounts when they post too many low-quality comments too quickly and/or get involved in flamewars. I've looked through your recent history and it seems fine, so normally we'd remove that restriction from your account—but you just said it was helpful, so maybe I shouldn't? You're welcome to email hn@ycombinator.com if you want it removed.
Income tax rates are usually higher than capital gain tax rates.
I suggest you try and implement some complex but well-defined algorithm, e.g. sha256, in some very, very simple language, say, brainfuck (which is very close to the original Turing machine language). Or, more realistically, in PDP11 assembly, which is beautifully transparent and uniform.

You might then notice that there is some kind of sweet spot in complexity: fewer features and footguns than, say, C++, but more features and abstractions than machine code.
> He basically told the investors to bugger off and that's that.

No, He asked, they agreed. There’s clearly something they both know that we don’t, and the outcome that happened happened. I guess it’s just as easy and valid for you to interpret it as being a bad thing, as it is for me to interpret it as a good thing. Only the VCs really know, I guess.
I have an 2018 MBP with an i9/Vega20 - I can testify how terrible their thermals are. But given that this thing can be passively cooled - even apple crappy venting will probably do a decent job with this chip. Need to see what happens when the reviews land.
Adding back the escape key is not new, they had the same physical keyboard layout in the previous MacBook Air which was announced Nov 2019.
> DRAM is denser, but difficult to build on the same process as logic.

What makes it so difficult to have on the same chip?
Thanks for sharing that! At least that's something!
Some people want an all-in-one computer.

They don't want a separate desktop for heavy tasks.
Do you guys have voting days off?
> Finally real competition for intel.

Unless Apple is going to sell these chips for other laptops, desktops and servers the only competition going on here is Apple competing with itself. Besides, AMD has been competing with Intel very well for the last couple years and have now pretty much taken over the market with their latest CPUs.
But the reason they're not taking the poll is because they don't want to admit support for Trump, right? Of course some are happy to tell everyone, but some aren't. Otherwise why is this concept of republicans responding to polls less just starting now with Trump?
At least we got something useful out of the ACA rather than just tax cuts for the wealthy and political points.

"All taxpayer income groups with incomes of $75,000 and under — that’s about 65 percent of taxpayers — will face a higher tax rate in 2027 than in 2019."

"People with incomes between $10,000 and $30,000 — nearly one-quarter of Americans — are among those scheduled to pay a higher average tax rate in 2021 than in years before the tax “cut” was passed. The C.B.O. and Joint Committee estimated that those with an income of $20,000 to $30,000 would owe an extra $365 next year "

The most interesting thing about Discord is their ability to scale. Their product really works well in my experience, and their scale is no joke.

Yes, people believe it’s better. The liquor the man in your story sold (unless I’ve read this wrong) was literally the same as the expensive stuff.

Apple’s always been in the experience game. And they’ve charged a premium for the experience, even though underneath the pieces were the same. Some people hate it and some people love it.

This is another change to the experience. I think though that we’re finally beyond (excuse the expression) “Apples to Apples” comparison though. This hardware is literally not the same stuff - unless you’re down to you talking about NAND gates.

A fascinating post and I'm thankful for the post. Interesting to learn the experiences first hand.

That said, it's sad to see we're no better than any other forum that just turns into political bullshit arguments sooner or later.

I think it depends on what kind of IPC. I'm not familiar enough with the details of how Firefox does it to know how that would interact with firejails.
Same. 29. I think it's just that we grew up with the internet, and although we haven't 'seen it all,' we've picked the low-hanging fruit.

When I was a kid, the first time I walked into a video store, it blew my mind. I spent every weekend for years binge-watching 3, 4, 5 rented movies. Now, I haven't actually watched a movie in years. I think that although there are new movies coming out, the patterns are fundamentally the same and so movies have gotten boring. After you've seen Apocalypse Now, Evil Dead, and Blade Runner, the Wire, Caddyshack, Oldboy, No Country, Night of the Living Dead, Y Tu Mama Tambien, and on-and-on-and-on, you've seen damn near most of the plot variations that can conceivably be constructed. So, new stuff just looks the same as the old stuff and it's not so exciting.

Same with the internet. I discovered 90% of what I still think is cool by the time I was 13. I picked the low-hanging fruit. So, now I'm at the point where I go deep on things. It's not sexy, but it is pretty rewarding. Used to think Magic-1 was awesome, well now Ben Eater's 8-bit-kit is half-assembled on a table in my living room. Used to think rock climbing was cool, but now I have to put in weekend after weekend at JTree moving over granite. Used to think Fravia was cool, well now it's time to construct my own web-crawlers. Used to think metalcasting and the Lindsay Catalog was fascinating, but now it's time to build actual internal combustion engines from scratch. Used to listen to the old Defcon DVDs on a pre-iPod mp3 player, but the time came to actually work through Erickson's AOE.

I think it's a natural evolution of life. When you're young you make a shallow pass and find what really resonates with you. When you get older, you spend more time digging down deep into those things and it's not as exciting as it once was, but there is a satisfaction from getting good at those things.

An alternate approach is to try viewing the internet through the lens of cannabis. I've had many nights in life where smoking some pot and watching YouTube has segued into a late-night coding session implementing something fun in Python that's been kicking around in the back of my head for a while. Pot has a way of helping you see things you've seen a million times in a completely new light. Some people love it, some people hate it. YMMV.

Most people seem to hit this point in life and just have kids to keep stuff interesting when things start to get boring. They take up a lot of time, teach you a lot of stuff, and suck up a ton of time.
Neither is being nice cunt. It gets you nowhere.
