My grandparents in what is now Belarus grew everything that is possible to grow and canned most of it. Pickles, tomatoes, carrots, strawberries, cherries, apple juice - those were all in the cellar. Ever since we were little, my brother and I were expected to help, squeezing apples, destemming strawberries, pitting cherries, and helping with cooking. The soviets didn't have Mason jars. My grandmother used 3 liter jars with flat top, you needed to get special lids with rubber gaskets, and a special tool that had a big disk that went around the top of the lid, and a rotary handle that moved a hand around the circumference of the lid, physically bending it around the gasket and the lip of the glass jar. It would result in a good seal, but to take it off, you bend the lid and couldn't put it back on. So the soviet economy had white plastic lids that you would put back on the top of the jar, kinda similar to those colorful Pyrex ones we have here.

I live in USA now and my grandparents are dead, but their legacy lives on. I've been actively canning for about 15 years, maybe more, and my children now help me and my wife with cherries, strawberries, tomatoes, pickles, peaches, apple sauce and various marmalades. It is a great family activity and a great way to have your own food in the winter. My sons even make money selling the leftover syrup for making lemonade. It is completely non-scalable in terms of costs, I once made some calculations that to make money off the jar of strawberry jam I'd need to charge something like $50 (jars, bands, fruit, sugar, lemons, heat + time). So we talk about this with my children as example of why the high-volume automated food production makes the food so cheap.

At any given time, I have maybe ~220 jars in my home +/- a dozen in whatever direction. Most hold preserves, the ones that do not hold things like nuts, dried fruit, rice, beans, spices. We give out jars - pickles, strawberries - as presents, and although some come back to us, many do not, so I have to replenish my supplies. I definitely noticed this year's shortage, but it wasn't too dramatic in my area, it was similar to what I see every year around harvest time.

One of my favorite places to get jars is my thrift store. They have the most random collection of jars. Few years ago I scored 3 unopened cartons of Bell jars in a REALLY dusty state. Once I opened it, the QA card inside had a production date of 1953. The lids and the bands were heavily corroded, but the jars were fine and once washed, undistinguishable from the modern ones, save for the minor details in design. When opening one of the jars, I smelled the 1953 air inside and for a moment, it felt quite different. Then it escaped and entered 21st century.
Not much. HBM will not gain much from going inside the chip pachage over existing interposer solution.
There is no code in this repo. Would much rather this be posted when there is something to actually test.
How else would you know if they are improvements?
If you have used (e.g) bazel before, I strongly encourage you to give it a bash, very easy to pickup and “feels good” to use
With this argument iOS should have never taken off. Yet it’s better than “open” Android standards. Thing is Apple rewired people to stop thinking about RAM and CPUs and made developers write software that works on 4 year old iPhone. Try that in Android or Windows. Yes there is a down side to it but as long as consumers can win with the outcome I personally think it should be fine.
> This a good thing, because it slowly rids us of old C and C++ code bases that may not have kept up with the times

+1 to that, that is also the reason why although I am critical of Go's design approaches, I am at the same time quite supportive of projects using it.
Also how about we leave some instrument on the rock even after it departs? Would be interesting to track where it went next
The alternative is not “install wizard”, it is either “here is a deb file with no post* scripts” or “here is a tar.gz, extract it anywhere and add symlink”

Both of those are vastly safer, because they do not require root privileges, and guarantee to uninstall cleanly.
I don't understand your claims that these statements are are meaningless. They are commonly uttered and understood.
The context of the GP comments and the whole discussion, it's the "high-tech" in an IT sense of the term. Hence my remark.

The high innovation ranking of Switzerland is most certainly not due to its computer/IT-related innovation. That's the point.

>Apple have stated multiple times that they don't have any intention to lock down macOS more or less

Didn't they also say that notarization was about security?
I’m sorry but this is just elitist nonsense. It’s disappointing to me that so many here simply can’t conceive that some people don’t share their priorities, and make conscious choices that reflect their own priorities.

I don't care if the inevitable future of the Mac platform is more locked down. In fact I welcome it. Does it limit what I can do with my device? Of course. Do I lament some of the control I’ve already given up? Sure. But the trade off is a safer and smoother computing experience that allows me to focus more on what I want to achieve with what the platform does provide.

I spent some time on Linux, I got into hyper-customizing every minute detail, I swapped out third party RAM and even early adopted SSDs by mounting them in the optical drive bay. I built a PC tower from personally selected components. I triple booted Windows and Linux on my first Intel Mac with community built boot loaders well before Boot Camp was a thing.

I can’t imagine spending my time that way anymore. I learned a lot, but now I just wanna get stuff done. I like having some of the system out of reach. I like knowing that it’s readonly and I like the kind of hardware advances Apple’s vertical integration has enabled.

It’s okay if we value different things, and it’s okay if we make different compromises to experience them.
The reason it has been stuck to 16GB is precisely because Intel mobile chips did not support any more than that up until a year ago. So rather than blaming Apple, it should rather be placed on intel.

I don't think expecting more than 16GB of ram for entry level Apple laptops should be expected.

The low amount of ram, energy inefficiency and plateauing performance are the exact reason why Apple is moving away from Intel and onto a platform where they can control their own destiny.
I dont remember the size, is it 128bits?

Kafka uses a thread pool for request processing. Both the brokers and the consumer clients use the same request processing loop.

Yeah, but the MBA is doing all that with just 10W (15W burst), while your hackintosh most likely consumes 400W.

Not really comparable though.
10 app windows doesn't sound like a lot to me.
Besides that, if you enable resolution scaling macOS renders at a higher internal resolution and lets the compositor scale it down. Try that on a 5k screen...
It would be interesting, though, to see what those numbers would look like with a fan. Anything that runs that long on an Air is going to start throttling.
I find Amazon to usually have the best price, or quickly price match in case of sales. Even if higher, the I prefer the speed, convenience and reliability of Amazon. I know I get it quickly and any problems are sorted easily.

If it was that easy to beat them with just pricing then other retailers would've done it already. The only other company that gets close is Target which has vastly improved its online and digital experience.
This is easily rectified by script authors by adding a main function invoked at the end. At a certain point, the argument simply becomes "executing arbitrary code is potentially dangerous", which is trivially true, and also not a helpful security posture for anyone who wants to use their computer pragmatically.
You can't compare M1 to a 95W TDP chip, that's not really fair.
If you go look at my other comments over the thread, how I respond very much varies based on context. I spent energy where I think others will actually benefit.

> Among the people I know closely enough, I see almost no one who has changed their minds ever since these discussions started circa 2015.

You've pointed this out yourself, why in the world would I keep beating the dead horse here? Do you think people haven't tried different ways? Why should I expend that effort to people who are clearly dug in to the other side permanently? I look for good-will first to engage with people who appear to be open in some way, like in this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25234798

The thing you're missing here is that the purpose of this type of response is not for you or OP. It's to show that this type of response is not blindly agreed upon or grounded. When its espoused with no response or criticism, it has a meaningful negative effect on marginalized people in this industry. To quote someone else on this top level thread:

I've been working on an MacOS and iOS app to do just this if you have an older iPhone lying around. https://telecast.camera/

I've been using it to record multicam music performances/practice sessions as I didn't have an expensive DSLR. The latency of other solutions was too high to easily sync guitar strumming and audio-in from an audio interface.

I'd love feedback! Things like the linked network are of interest, as I'd like to add support for background replacement in the future, too.
Where specific items cost double on Amazon?
Yeah, its better to shop around.

For me, Amazon has become very slow since the pandemic. I only shop on Amazon when I can't find it elsewhere
> I'll say that American's should be more worried about corporations tracking them, than governments

This being the top comment is why I stopped working on privacy legislation.

Propose limits on governments? What about the corporations! Propose limits on private data collection? Why are we ignoring Snowden!

Zero coördination between the left hand and the right. I know this isn’t anyone’s intent. But it’s a seductive argument for complacency that has buried over a dozen bills in New York City, Albany, Sacramento, the House Financial Services and Senate Banking Committees.

Probability is not real. Probability is subjective, it depends on what you know, and everyone has a different set of things they know.

I flip a coin and look at it, then ask two other people for their probabilities. One of them knows the coin is biased towards head such that it's twice as likely to land heads than tails on any given flip. The other knows nothing about the coin.

The first person guesses a 66% chance of heads. The second guesses a 50% chance of heads. I, having seen the coin, say it's a 0% chance of heads.

None of these probabilities are wrong. They're all correct given the set of knowledge that person had. Probability is subjective.
I'm currently studying CS in Germany at a big university.
Yes, the profs seem to all run Linux and they usually recommend free software. But then COVID-19 happened and they all caved in to using Zoom/Teams. Those are now heavily recommended, even for use in smaller groups. When promted about it a few of them might say that they care about privacy, too, but that's then not reflected in their actions. Even those doing research on privacy or security related topics heavily embrace Zoom/Teams.
And as if that's not enough, the administration seems to view things like the GDPR as a nuisance, especially since the privacy shield has been invalidated.

You might argue that the professors have no choice. But then there actually are non-CS professors from other universities that won't even put recorded videos of themselves online. They teach by uploading a few documents. Some stopped teaching altogether. None of that is particularly great. But it shows that professors have some power and would have even more of it as a collective. That in turn means that all those CS professors chose not to exercise it. From what I know it's the same at many other universities.

I seriously doubt anyone is taught any of the values you're talking about any more. The opposite is the case - if you held any of them before you'll have to be practical and let them go.
Ada is unfortunately tainted by its traditional customer base (military, avionics, high integrity computing) so it tends to have little love from the traditional software houses.

Additionally from the 5 existing vendors, only Ada Core bothers to keep a link with the FOSS community and somehow approachable prices for commercial licenses, which doesn't help to move beyond the existing perceptions about Ada.
I just gave you a shout out under a frustrated goodreads user's comment under the same thread. I'm one of your beat and loving the app so far. Only thing is it doesn't have many books when comparing with goodreads.

I can't also find out how to follow others or add strangers as friends, (trust me my friends aren't reading). Looking forward to how this turns out.
Ah, I was starting with bounded objects on purpose to build intuition, but I tried to be clear in my language about when I was talking about bounded vs unbounded objects. I was aware that the question was about unbounded objects. I thought it would be easier this way because it's hard to visualize intersecting 3D spaces correctly, so I wanted to show that picturing them as bounded volumes leads to the wrong conclusion by way of analogy to lower dimensional objects. I left out the null intersection case for brevity.

Thanks for the more thorough explanation!

Ask HN: Boilerplate or examples of NON-stripe payments API integration?
Hello everyone,

A friend of mine has recently entered an industry relative to CBD. He's encountered significant e-commerce issues with Stripe, Shopify and Square due to the nature of her business.

I've looked into using a number of "high-risk" payment processors, at this point I'm mostly set on Maverick Payments. They have a well documented API but I'm not exactly sure where to start in terms of structing an API endpoint for my react front-end to use their payments API. Especially since all google turns up these days are poorly made stripe react tutorials and github pages.

Curious of direction in terms of processing credit card payments with a more "raw" gateway to the processor or example code to get me started! I'm a relatively accomplished back-end engineer, but I really want to get the payments scheme as right and secure as possible!

Thanks all!

That has never happened and still does not happen today with the newest Office. The document will be always saved in the correct format, and if it's the older one, it will be 100% compatible with old Office.
If you start haphazardly changing things while firefighting without testing, you might make things even worse. And there's worse things than downtime, for instance if the system appears to work but you're actually silently corrupting customer data.

Either one is inevitable. The wealth of data that can be collected about a person through their phone is too valuable. Pick your poison. Massive government surveillance or massive corporate surveillance. Or both, as is currently the case.

This won't change. That ship has sailed and isn't docking ever again.
I ported lisp-koans to elisp https://github.com/jtmoulia/elisp-koans

It's still rough and doesn't include @phoe-krk's latest changes (forked 1.5yrs ago), but I found it super useful for learning lisp.
128bit might be accurate, I meant more along the lines of they are non-contiguous and don't seem to be correlated with the amount of records actually being written to a stream.
100k LOC would be, let's be generous, about 8 million characters (80/line average, which is high). 8GB of RAM for 8MB of input seems excessive to me. What's going on with that IDE that it needs so much for something so small? Even if that were 8 million distinct tokens/symbols in the input, that's still 1KB/token of memory consumed.
I'm surprised there isn't some open source hardware for this to run on. Could be an interesting project.
> The effect has not been rigorously proven ⇒ The effect does not exist.

There's a great article on the BBC news homepage fighting this effect now about Vitamin D.

The TL;DR is the government says "Vitamin D cannot be said to help coronavirus infections, but we strongly recommend everyone take vitamin D supplements, and it's so important we'll even give them out for free"
>Are there good reasons to not open-source voting machine software[?]

No.
M1 chip has a bog standard Package-on-Package architecture - there is nothing special about it. The CoWoS and other 3D packaging technologies from TSMC's marketing pages aren't on the M1 chip. I believe there isn't even a silicon interposer due to cost presumably [1]. It is substrate on top of substrate (PoP) to connect the memory and CPU. CPU+GPU are on the same die which is pretty remarkable (Intel's IGPUs have been on the same die as well albeit they're not as powerful as M1s graphics) but that's somewhat unrelated to the packaging.

Here is a good diagram (sans the silicon interposer): https://www.researchgate.net/figure/3D-stacked-DRAM-example-...

Btw, memory has been stacked like that for a decade or more. Used to be stacked + wirebonded. But now, we have through-silicon vias (TSVs). The reason you can stack memory like that are many, one of them being thermals / power density.

Mozilla is a non-profit. Their only goal should have been development of Firefox(and follow-up technology like Rust and Servo), not all those money making schemes and side projects they started.
Before the pandemic, I never thought twice about ordering from Amazon.
However, shipping now takes 2-3x as long. It's faster to order from most any other website.

After learning about how they treat their workers (including tech workers) I try to avoid ordering from Amazon as well.
> Either one is inevitable. The wealth of data that can be collected about a person through their phone is too valuable.

The wealth and power attainable through child labour or slavery or unethical medical experimentation is also quite vast.

Your argument is, essentially, the state is powerless to restrict markets. That we exist in a laissez faire world, where anything economically possible will be done. I’ll give it this: I haven’t seen this pitch before. Would love to see you and a free market advocate debate.

There are two different Balls. The Ball corporation that owns the food packaging industry used to make home canning supplies, but they spun it off into a different company back in the '90s.
Sounds like I'd love to play with the system y'all are hoping to build. I'd also be ok with something like a web browser, but just Forth scripts being shared like you said. As long as I have text and images and a way to view them, I don't think anything else matters.

It sounds like y'all are trying to build the original internet OS (iOS, but years before Apple took the term) that Carl Sassenrath of Amiga and Rebol fame was trying to build. Rebol is a lot like both lisp and forth, and is very powerful. Carl thought users would just share Rebol scripts over the network. To give some context, a fully graphical tetris is like 3/4 a page of Rebol code. If only he had open sourced it sooner.
There is a difference between holding a principle, and holding an absolutist principle, absent thoughtfulness and discernment. While there are circumstances where it's admirable to risk death for a principle (fighting to free slaves, refusing to comply with literal Nazis), there are also circumstances where it is the height of foolishness (the right to keep lights on at night in an apartment building during the WW2 London bombings).

> Life is not about existing

Existing is necessary but not sufficient for life. And while there's a strong argument for allowing the individual to risk or even choose death (seat belt laws, assisted suicide), the real crux of the matter is when the individual should be allowed to create mortal risk for others. The moral evil of reducing freedom through the state's monopoly on force (such as a mask mandate) must be weighed against the moral evil of reducing freedom through harm (such as infection with a fatal illness). Whatever plausible scenario you can imagine that goes too far in one direction, you would be correct; and yet I can balance it with a plausible scenario that goes too far in the other direction. There is no rule or principle that frees us from the necessity of thoughtful discernment and debate.
Swap isn't great for SSD lifespan. Probably not a drastic loss, but nonetheless not helping its longevity.
I've been curious why we don't start pushing de-commissioned satellites / space junk in earth orbit into a moon-like mass orbiting earth? It would take a swarm of maybe a few hundred powered "satellite movers" maybe a decade. But in time, seems like it could become a fantastic means of dealing with space debris surrounding earth especially space junk that can't easily be ditched to re-enter the earth's atmosphere and burn up.
For such a small outlay yes you should support your local community. I can't believe this even needs to be said.

Hey, I maintain please and will be the first one to admit we’re not the best at marketing it. We’ve mostly been focused on getting it up to scratch and only recently have we been trying to publicise it.
