While you dont, and I dont either we are not the only customers of Monoprice, and it seems monoprice gets enough sales from Amazon to justify having a store on that

The fact that we do not shop at Amzn for those items do not really change the reality of ecommerce in 2020
Whichever isn't currently bound to a concrete value, or neither (except that they become bound to each other) if neither is; if both are, it's an error should occur, since they cannot be unified.
this is an impressive list. thank you for contributing your thoughts! I can only imagine this being an inspiration to the future generation.
I keep it disabled just so sites load faster. Except for 1 or 2 sites, I don't care about anything except for the main text on a page, so it's a waste of time to let a ton of javascript run and load/format things that I don't care about.

I must admit that I'm ever so happy to have seen this post, QBasic was massively important towards me becoming a programmer. Kudos for the post, it's important for me to know that my nieces and nephews might see computers the same way I did: through an uncomplicated lens.

The appeal for me was to give, as you wrote, a simple interface to programming. The Apple RAM II I had was not as easily accessible for programming at my single digit age. QBasic was available on the 486 SX based MS-DOS OS we had, and it opened my eyes. Within a year or two I was reading Herb Schildt' "Teach Yourself C" and using Borland C for the first time. But at a young age you need that first step to be accessible!

Nice one...

I’m a little off topic here but back to lockdowns: there was no swift response (ignoring the debate whether there should have been) and IMO it’s just fucking the low and middle class to do it now. We made our bed, let’s be strong enough to accept the consequences.

We have no rights anyway, just look at Japanese Americans 1942. History can be a good predictor of the future.

I agree 100%, and often use NewEgg and Monoprice for specific needs, but there's a huge swath of stuff where I check Amazon first just because they're always competitively priced and ubiquitous. Recently, there was an appliance accessory I needed that was only available from Amazon. Their position as the first place to buy online is crazy.
Oh my god. I was planning to move to Hugo next week.
I'm also working on an educational game engine 'from scratch', though for me this includes my own rendering engine. The linked article was just to an introdution, which made me think think this was a fluff submission with no real content, but the engine and project is from 2018 and quite well documented (perhaps the year should be included in the submission title).

Anyways, favorited so that I can examine further and utilize some of the lessons already learned.
Logic is logic. If you learn logic in if then else, goto, gosub-return, it's all good. These are still basic building blocks of logic.

If you get the logic part of programming, you can pick up the more complex aspects.
you missed something, apart from giving intentionally misleading and old figures, and yet within that you're still able to identify Amazon's market share as a percentage of all retail as an industry? ok.

Some people go to therapists, some people form paramilitary cults to a divine monarchy, stage coups, accept failure with ritual suicide, and become immortal legends. Different strokes for sure.
Even before the pandemic I try to buy everything online, either through Amazon or another retailer. I really do not understand how brick and mortar retails stores stay in business. Just today I needed to buy some plumber's putty. I ordered it from my phone on Amazon in about 30 seconds, that's not even enough time to put my shoes on and get in the car if I were to go to the hardware store. Going to the store is such a gigantic waste of time I don't understand why anyone would do it unless they really need an item immediately.

You say nothing has to change, but what you write to support it is explicitly that X changes based on Y, since you are just making the time sequence explicit in the code instead of implicit in the operator syntax.

That's a very good explanation of why high-dimensional vectors are so useful, but it doesn't seem to have much to do with this post. How many bits is a 500D vector? Is it 10,000 bits, like in the post? Which "coding" does it use, real? Is it a memory-centric 10,000-bit hyperdimensional real-coded vector that can be combined with permutation? What benefit does your 500D vector get from the fact that it's holographic, not micro-coded? How do you do gradient descent without backpropagation? None of those words make any sense and that's exactly why this post is being lambasted. Thank you for trying to make sense of it, but just because it's possible to write sensibly about similar topics does not mean this post belongs anywhere but the trash can.
Frankly I'd disregard this entirely because active legal battles of this sort are either entirely public, or part of the problem.

The situation is much more complex than "forgot." Since the 80s KMT and several allied parties have favored eventual unification with the mainland. Try reading up on the Pan Blue Coalition, or just skimming the wiki page on Taiwanese political parties.

It gets tiresome how flippant hn is to throw out these narrative based explanations that are pure invention of armchair imagination, rather than like spending literally 5 minutes to understand the very basics of what people are attempting to comment on.
> if Tasmania ceased to exist, CO2 emissions from power generation would increase

So it is actually over 100%? I don’t understand what you are even calculating when you say 100%, for me it makes no sense.
It’s possible Apple independently arrived at a design for how to present iOS notifications that just happened to resemble growl in every way... but it’s not likely. Growl was so pervasive before macOS notifications that it’s inconceivable to me that developers at Apple weren’t presenting it as a proven model.
The English guy, if that's enough of a clue. It has been about 4 1/2 years now since I left Glacier, so there's every chance our paths never overlapped.
Show me how all these numbers add up to 100%.

At least with music, you can still generally buy and download: I’m unaware of any legal way to do the same for high-resolution video.
But would that be more insecure than running arbitrary scripts on your machine? I imagine you could build something akin to Ruby's spring for elixir, might be interesting.
* When we do know where it is, it’s probably still uneconomic to spend delta-V getting to it and pushing it anywhere.

Do we need to spend delta-V? We can use a friggin' laser, or a giant magnet, or or or. Typically, we'd just need to slow it down so that it just re-enters the atmosphere.

* Proliferation risk of developing technology that can easily interfere with satellites on-demand. If a satellite mover can move junk, it can move live units too.

Like anything else, actions have consequences. To be able to make something like this, they'd have to be a pretty decent player in the space realm. If all of the other players quit playing with you because you break all of the rules, the game gets lonely.

My dad was offended that such an algebraic abomination should be the way the computer represented things. I started putting the LET keyword in front (which was strictly optional), and it bothered him a lot less.
Google’s standard employment contract gives it default ownership of basically any software produced by an employee if it has anything to do with the employee’s job or Google’s business, which means basically everything. But it’s also very easy for an employee at Google to open-source software. The consequence of this is that frequently when a Google employee has a side project that they want to share with the world it will end up released as a Google open-source project under a permissive license.
Having read what I've read about governments down through history I'd have to disagree. I am not that worried about google turning fascist and then kicking my door in and putting a gun in my mouth because I said something bad about dear leader. I'll take the bursting spam mail folder to that any day of the week.
It appears that it currently is not...
lol what does this even mean? When was anything you said not the case?

Were computers more democratic when they were obscenely expensive time-sharing mainframes living at places like universities and Bell Labs? Were developers ever anything other than a 'cog in the machine' at any point during the 20th century? You can't just say 'late stage capitalism' and somehow have it morph into a meaningful (or even coherent) point jfyi
Wow, that's pretty big news! Though I'm so pleased with Godot these days it would be hard to drag me back.
Wait wat? I’m not disputing this but I came up on MacOS (it wasn’t even named that at the time, I believe I got started on System 6) and I never saw notifications like that.
Think I'll pass on this and wait for the "northeastern USA" map expansion to drop in a month or two. It'll be called "my life right now".
Impossible to understate how cool and innovative Growl was many years ago before anyone knew what a notification system was. It was a killer app for me back when all we really had was terminal bells or Windows system tray bubbles.
Sure, and if Tasmania was powered 100% by renewable energy it would be less efficient.

OK I find this surprising because I always assumed (well I was told by others) that manufacturing CO2 was negligible.
So very likely, I am already greener than a guy with a Nissan Leaf or Model 3. I drive used cars and only drive small cars with small engines (1L cars).
My car has tailpipe emissions of 136g/km CO2, and is 11 years old, bought used a year ago. Add to that an additional 47g/km from fuel cycle and I have 183g/km.

Meanwhile the manufacturing of the average EV releases around 10tons of C02. I am omitting the other emissions from using the car (see the study below for details, it's from the author of the tweet). That means I have to drive 55000km until I even reach that. That's 15 years of driving for me, going by my commute of 5km each way everyday.
Neither car would last that long.

> By default, I always open links in new tabs which means back button has no data.

I really wish, even if it was an optional setting, browsers would copy the past history of the source tab when you did that. If it hit back in a tab I opened that way, I still want “where I got here from” not “stay here” or “new tab page" or especially “close the tab” (thanks a lot Android Chrome).
At the pro level, bicycles are regularly below regulation weight, and then dead weight is added to get back to spec. So, there is budget for extra weight for higher performance parts.

However, the rule of thumb is to minimize rotational weight (e.g., wheels) due to the increase in rotational inertia. I wonder whether chain weight is similarly problematic.
I first got into the Mac eco system in the mid 2000s, so I don’t know the entire history of notifications there, but I remember that Growl was pretty much the defacto Mac standard by the late 2000s.

Growl and a particular packaging software that provides auto updates had basically become a prerequisite for Mac apps at a certain point.

> C only became standardized after 20 years or so, and only out of necessity because there were different compiler toolchains moving into different directions and this ensuing chaos had to be brought under control somehow.

The "after 20 years" remark is totally irrelevant because just because the C community was extremely slow it doesn't mean everyone is supposed to repeat the same mistakes.

The only relevant point in your remark is that a standard is required when there are at least two implementations that need to interoperate. That's the only relevant point. A standard is the only way to ensure that interop is possible, and that implementations are reliable.
the picture in this article is of one arrow. ONE?!
> You are spending your precious time and energy worrying about a resource whose marginal cost to you is about the same as a cup of coffee.

I don't install tons of random garbage because I want to know and understand what is running on the hosts that I maintain.

I need to be able to debug the stuff I run, and complexity makes it difficult.

Tenths of MB of stuff is complexity. Tenths of build time or run time dependencies is complexity. A compiled tool when a script would have been sufficient is also complexity.
Animals have hierarchies, too. Humans are different by having two types of hierarchies: dominance (based on strength, powered by fear) and prestige (based on skills, powered by admiration).

In childhood, parents play both roles: they punish you for disobeying rules, and they care about you and teach you all kinds of stuff. They exceed you in both strength and skills. But later, these two things separate: there are people you fear but don't admire, and people you admire but don't fear; people whose attention you want to avoid, and people whose attention you dream about.

In the workplace, there are people whom you admire for their skills, and then there are people who are simply given power over you without doing anything admirable. And there are also a few people who are given the power and who use it in an admirable way. I guess the idea is that we should get rid of people who are given power but do not have natural respect. The people who have both the power and respect... dunno, maybe their power should become informal, based on the consent of the governed (i.e. you follow their advice, because their advice consistently turns out to be good). Thus the bearers of "institutional memory" would stay, and the useless ones would go. Some teams would have one authority person, other teams would have multiple authorities with different responsibilities based on their skills.
I sorely miss Adium. I’ve learned to accept that I just have half a dozen mostly feature compatible chat apps open to communicate with the people who use them... but Adium was a real gem. I had it configured to minimal everything and never thought about what protocol I was using. Just a consolidated list of people and a tiny window with active chats in tabs. I’ve seen several attempts at unifying the current chat landscape and they all just look like gigantic webviews of the underlying frontend. What a step back!
A lot of people can believe in themselves. Fewer people can believe in the "right" things about themselves. And even fewer can execute well with those justified beliefs.

Maybe don't sweat it. I keep a bookmark folder with all the threads on HN where the primary form of comment is complaining about the name.

It's a pastime here, and it's a great way to provide a low effort comment that the community will upvote.

In reality people don't google search for the name of a tool they already know, and if folks are looking for a scripting language for their system, they'll find it via Google, not some already-known-to-nerds name.

That said, tex is short, and overlaps with a lot of stuff not even nerdy, so teex will probably help set you apart until the fanboys of some other obscure project called teex come to the party :)

SPAs like you described are the coal rollers of the software world. Kill the environment and fry your users laps, just because you can, not for any sensible reason.

We need much more naming and shaming of this practice. Software needs to be more responsible with regards to the resources it consumes, especially if it does so without any apparent neccessity.
Well clearly I’m losing this debate to people who can’t even be bothered to use the words that actually mean what they’re trying to say. Snore
Right. So it’s based on your own personal aesthetics and opinions. Which is fine. Just don’t be so convicted in code review, because you’re just spouting opinions.
> They are not using poison gas (a la Zyklon B, which is the parallel I suspect they want you to draw). They are using nitrogen gas, effectively displacing oxygen and asphyxiating the patient. This is massively important because of how inhumane poisonous gases tend to be, and how humane death by inert gas is.

While it's listed in the article as an example, no-one has ever actually been executed via nitrogen asphyxiation (though it is used in slaughterhouses in some countries). The only sort of executions by gas which have actually been performed in the US used hydrogen cyanide; no such executions have happened since the 90s, but it's still on the books in a few states. Hydrogen cyanide is indeed the active ingredient in Zyklon B. This rule would appear to allow the federal death penalty to use hydrogen cyanide in certain states where it's still legal (though it's hard to imagine that they actually would; _horrible_ optics, and it's extremely inhumane).
Huh? They don't have their own banks? I am in Europe and if the US sanctions hit us, then.. my life would be still absolutely the same...
A lot of commenters are completely missing the point of this site somehow. The site says:

It does not say:

First link is literally only four lines of text. Three of those are links. Second link is dead. Third is basically the first but with emojis ... Ok, I stopped after that.

What exactly is this trying to showcase again?
I think this is a symptom of the problem. Schools needed a new revenue source when states cut funding and college enrollment skyrocketed. They turned to government loans to avoid raising taxes.

I'm not a history buff but this is how I interpret us reaching out current situation. Undischargeable loans is debt slavery and should be abolished. The very purpose of bankruptcy is to prevent situations like this.

The realistic outcomes are either government bailing itself out on discharged loans (after all, the school has already been paid). Or, probably a better decision, increasing state school funding to the dollars per student that existed in decades prior. Option 2 would be extremely difficult politically until mellenials overtake baby boomers as the dominant voting bloc in a decade or two

Well, I went through the trouble of disabling javascript and was treated to an utterly mundane blog site with astounding insights worthy of a 22 year-old, such as "if you're a libertarian you're just being exploited by the capitalists, man."
Uh huh. This is ignoring that notifications were present in webOS, Android, Windows 7, and so on. Or were those able to independently arrive at the exact same design of a toast popup, and Apple uniquely owes the provenance of their toast popup to Growl?
You're misunderstanding Intel's specs. If you want the chip to run within TDP you can only expect the base frequency across all cores, not the ridiculous turbo frequency. The best laptop chip Intel has right now is the i9-10980HK with 8 cores at a 2.4GHz base frequency and a 45W TDP. Apple's laptops are more than capable of dissipating the rated TDP and hitting the base frequencies (and often quite a bit higher), although the fans can be a bit loud. So Apple's designs are not broken, at least not by Intel's definition.

You can relax the power limits and try to clock it closer to the 5.3GHz turbo frequency. But how much power do you need? I can't find numbers specifically for the i9-10980HK, but it seems like the desktop i9-9900K needs over 160 watts [1] to hit a mere 4.7GHz across all cores, measured at the CPU package (ie. not including VRM losses). Overall system power would be in excess of 200 watts, perhaps 300 watts with a GPU. Good luck cooling that in a laptop unless it's 2 inches thick or has fans that sound like a jet engine.
