I'd hardly call three examples "many examples" (especially if they all originate from greece and rome).

Blow just says "then the roman empire fell and that knowledge was lost" when discussing the Lycurgus Cup. He just states this. No citation or investigation. This is the classic oversimplification of both technological record keeping and the nature of the collapse of rome. There is no clear evidence that the "fall of rome" (which means about a dozen different things that happened over 1000 years) is responsible for the mechanism for creating such glass being unrecorded.

He makes the same claim about alchemists fire. Again, ill supported.

There are a tremendous number of reasons why ancient technology might not have surviving records to today. Amateur historians love to just assume this is due to "civilizational collapse."

So someone left in a bunch of legacy code and nobody knows which combination of feature flags fully turns it off? At least if we cure cancer we can use whatever we learned to make programming a little easier.

Oh, but it absolutely is not! You are most probably experiencing Stockholm syndrome towards iOS development experience, given lack of alternatives.

At least pro-console users had some sort of argument for their setups.

You cannot comprehend a simple idea that there are much better ways to develop software, than crippling, mind-bogglingly bad Xcode and friends.
In Singapore, where the race is held at local nighttime but at a normal time for Europe, everybody (other than, IIRC, some of the media/marketing folks) stays on UK time. I've heard some strange stories about trying to find dinner at 4AM.
I suspect OP is saying this with the context of how the "Jesus Lovers" are advertising. I suspect it's a fear of the overly vocal ones - ie, perhaps they(OP) thinks hiring someone with that label would be like hiring someone holding Jesus signs on street corners or dudes at colleges with microphones.

Which isn't to say that hiring those people is bad, but i suspect OP has been burned by people who can't keep their personal lives personal. Many religions inherently push you to share and spread the religion, so it's not unreasonable that a lot of religious people focus on pushing their agenda.

With that said i don't think a twitter profile is a good indication on whether or not someone would let their religion get in the way of their work and/or work relationships.
The cleanup costs for a nuclear reactor can be more than the construction cost, and novel / experimental reactor types can present major challenges after decommissioning.

Your trust idea is a good one, maybe with some insurance added, but it really does impact the economics of the project.

That said, nuclear reactors as thermal generators are a great idea, particularly for e.g. cement manufacturing, which is a huge producer of greenhouse gasses. This is one area where I support nuclear over wind/solar.

I hope this works!
So, I looked on the AMD shop online and it looks like the MSI Bravo 15 satisfies all of these requirements, it is surprising that there was only one laptop in the AMD store that seems to satisfy this.

I'm in the USA, maybe that makes a difference.
> I think you've just committed a sort of armchair dilettante history off the top of the dome with lack of reference to a scholarly source of History you accused Jonathan of doing.

I'm not a historian. But my wife is. And she ranted for a while after the first ten minutes of this talk for precisely this reason. I could have provided more scholarly sources. It is an internet forum - I didn't think people would call me names if I didn't. That historians of science don't like the term "The Dark Ages" isn't exactly cutting edge scholarship.
I think the idea was the per-unit disposal cost is hard to predict because it varies greatly depending on how many units are sold.
The US Navy should build and operate commercial reactors as a revenue generator.
The fit seems to be an issue for some of these products, they block the adjacent ports slightly. They also require a piece to be sticking out of the Macbook at all times, which somewhat neutralizes the elegance of an Apple product, a big driver of why people buy Apple in the first place.
I agree! I think the key is to use browsers for all parts of the coding experience. Write your code in the browser and run your code in the browser. Because it turns out a Chrome tab is as good if not better at isolating and running code than a VM or container.

And my company is actually working on this exact thing right now and we'll be sharing more info on how we think it works very soon!
Looks cool and I'll be interested in checking this out when it's up again.

The interface and vibe remind me that people have posted links here about listening to the International Space Station; I would love an internet radio station that was sort of like a police scanner, but more like astronauts or aquanauts talking to each other – calm human voices far away, with that sort of static two-way-radio vibe, more science and less carnage. I could listen to that all night long.
I think all creators should have a pirates donations box so pirated content doesn’t impact the creators that much.
The giant trackpad seemed like Apple wanted people to use the MacBook like an iPad, which still doesn’t make sense.
I think it's just staying a bit too close to the source material.

I had a similar experience after kicking out Box. Sometimes enterprise SW companies get so caught up in the 20% of power users that they forget the value of simplicity for the 80%.
Actually, sound DOES work like that.

For instance, if OP has his speakers located 57cm / 22 inches from the back wall, there is going to be a very deep null at 150Hz, due to the reflection from the back wall. (150Hz is 227cm long.)

If OP is listening in the nearfield, that dip will be obnoxious.

On the other hand, if OP is listening at a distance of two meters, the dip will be LESS obnoxious because there will be dozens of dips and peaks in the response, contributing constructive and destructive interference, simultaneously.

This is one of the reasons that loudspeakers are generally measured under two conditions:

1) very very close. For instance, a woofer can be measured with the microphone less than a centimeter from the cone

2) But the preferred method of getting a full range measurement is to measure the speaker outside, far away from any reflective surfaces.
I was literally just commenting to a co-worker about how I haven't used my touch bar even once in the past year.

Give us TACTILE interfaces! I don't want to accidentally push a virtual button just by brushing my hand across a smooth surface.

Honestly, what would actually be pretty cool would be tactile keyboard buttons with screens built into their surfaces. That way you could actually assign visual hints to your function keys, and they could still require tactile presses to use. That will unfortunately probably never happen though, due to manufacturing costs and complexity.
A number of devices in this category seem to have popped up recently. I picked up an RG351P a few weeks ago, which I'm guessing is similar to this device. It really is a lot of fun playing around with it, and it's hackable like a Raspberry Pi.
I mount onedrive on linux pretty well with rclone.

I don't think that there is a high performance JVM implementation for RISC-V. A vendor would have to do a lot more work if they picked an architecture other than AArch64.
Not any more ;)
Good point--I amended my original comment to specify folic acid.

What you're saying about stable DNA makes sense. I'm curious, though, if the supplementation helps the body generate more NAD+ (relative to someone with a deficiency), and if that could help cancer proliferate in its earliest stages (hence why the correlation is most pronounced in people already likely to develop cancer--smokers).

It's always interesting to see terminology evolve. "Serverless" started as a hosting terminology, to mean "somebody else's servers". Here, it's still being used to mean "somebody else's servers", but in a domain that could reasonably use "serverless" to mean "without a server" instead. Caching to a local hard drive is, almost by definition, serverless.

It's a very neat application, but the terminology erks me.
Good luck. Liveview depends strongly on features of the erlang VM that you won't get right without a deeper understanding of erlang (how do you clean up a websocket connection when the actor exits early, say due to throwing an exception - that's zero lines of code in lv), you're probably better of taking inspiration and writing it from scratch.
It's got amazing stuff!

This is an issue with European GDPR "right to be forgotten" requirements.

Some interpretations say that if a user requests their data to be deleted, it must also be removed from backups. If your backups are kept in a binary format, then it's a nightmare. You have to restore them, delete the data then backup them up again for every backup you have.

Other interpretations say that it is enough to remove the data if/when you restore the backup data. I.e. keep a record of deletion requests and on restoring a backup check if you need to re-perform the deletion request and then do so if necessary.
Most kitchens I know have a scale, but not measuring cups. I mean, why would you need measuring cups, unless you're sent a recipe from somewhere foreign?
To me, it's like speaking loudly in a library, or people horse-playing in a museum. Perhaps it's more accurate to say it's disrespectful of the audience.

Why can't they just put in a touch screen? Is it purely pride at this point?
Bar Talk: Informal Social Interactions, Alcohol Prohibition, and Invention
i'd wager it's either a hardware requirement (reusing existing components) to not have to build a different design prior to a full refresh with the new arch, or kind of a trial run for Apple to see how many would prefer a slightly cheaper design without the touchbar. The differences of the Pro vs Air are quite minimal. Where I do like the fanless design, I was concerned of thermal concerns on the Air, but there was no way that I'll ever buy a touchbar product from Apple ever again, so I took a shot with the Air. Pleasantly surprised with heat/energy/battery, and couldn't be happier to have the physical F key row back. M1 Air is hands down the best MacBook I've used since the 2015 MacBook Pro.
Nobody wouldn't be so stupid as to advertise their own crimes when involved in several trials. If this is publicity (and could perfectly be a paid history), certainly is not from him.

I see a lot of people putting up ugly "sound absorbing panels." What they don't realize is that it takes a LOT of material to absorb sound. 100Hz is over three METERS long.

There are ways to reduce the impact of reflections, but sound absorbing panels are probably one of the least practical ways to do it.
I'm surprised no one has chimed in yet with "But it's not fair, I work hard to keep a roof on top of my head, but these people get it for free!!?!"...

The touchbar is such a cool piece of technology. I'm sad to see users didn't embrace it as much as they could've.

It created a dynamically adapting interface that just opened up so many more possibilities.

True. At this point both companies, Intel and AMD, are basically selling every single chip they can make.
I don’t consider an issue solved until there are commodity implementations of the solution. Right now there are bespoke backup systems that can do per-record deletion and lots of orgs are relying on maximum retention policies to do ensure deletion on “traditional” backup systems. Until off-the-shelf backup software like Veeam and Borg can handle the use-case it will always be an option only if you have a staff of developers instead of an IT staff.

Hello HN!

Made this quick project to explore how bad the internet can really screw up a REPL. Let's see how far it comes before someone runs a endless-loop, breaking everything :)

The application has the feature of rendering it's own source code as well, check it out here: http://livingthing.club/source (search for "/source" to see the handler that outputs the code)
No worries if you didn't catch that I was the same person.

Your catch proves that issue is not remotely settled, and to my mind, indicates that more rigorous counsel with historians will only add depth to debate, rather than resolve it.

I think you're right. I didn't mean to downplay the interests of people here wanting to have civil discussions about politics. I've too seen very civilized discussions here involving politics recently. I've also noticed an uptik in political posts. Most of the ones that have 1000+ comments have the most number of downvoted comments I've seen here on HN. Most of those comments don't seem to have a genuine curiosity about political science.

Thanks for responding. Generally I find the equity values to be way high. Do people submitting their info take into account vesting? I’ve talked to (otherwise smart) people who make claims like: “My salary is $120k and my equity offer was $100k, therefore my total comp is $220k” where obviously he’s wrong because he will only vest, for example, 25% of that equity the first year. So he should consider $145k his TC.

A lot of people seem to make this mistake, so hopefully your data cleaners have solved that.

Perhaps I should have said it's disrespectful of me, the audience member. It should be my decision whether to watch to the end or not.

I really enjoy movie watching. I use the credits to contemplate what I just watched. Sometimes to see who played specific roles, or what music was in the film, or the locations. So yes, I do watch the credits.

I know most people don't. But that decision should be mine or yours.
OP here: A better headline might be - Canon website showcases Dark Patterns. Engadget journo bizarrely salutes.

Here's the Canon site https://redefinethelimits.us/space/cornerstone/experience

Explanation: This Canon site is one of the most remarkable examples of Dark Patterns I've seen. It purports to let the visitor use Canon's satellite to take an orbital picture. Instead, you can select a curated picture and pretend you took it.

What I experienced was me clicking thru Canon's funhouse nightmare of a site, while autoplay sounds and videos jump-scared at me - even with the site's mute button selected. I keep getting led in circles trying to find a way to move the globe for my shot. At the end of it, I learn I can't even position the map at all. I can only pick one of the handful of presented pics and then interact with simulation of me taking the picture.

What the heck Canon?
I love this comment.

Something that I, as a christian, believe is often misunderstood about religion and science is that they are not opposed to one another. If you talk to many Christians today they will agree that science and religion build off of one another and support each other greatly.

I would recommend the books "God and the Astronomer" and "I don't have enough faith to be an Atheist". Both touch on this combining of science and faith, the first book more so than the latter.

> For what sort of users? It's clear a number of people here consider the command line difficult. I do not. There are many tools that make simple tasks very simple. I use it for manipulating tab files. I can pipe data through scripts and back through command line utilities, pipe it directly into a database, or do the reverse. It's very simple, and very powerful.

Consider all the things you've committed to memory that you've had to learn to do those things: all the archaic command names, all the one-letter switches, all the unreadable awk lines to re-jigger the formatting between tools, all the gotchyas and edge-cases you had to deal with in your scripting language, etc.
You can do that, but doing so would give you no protection against the deletion process being applied to records that should not be deleted as happened here. The whole point of this process is that those records need to be irretrievably destroyed.
I've been developing software for three decades in a very, VERY wide variety of environments.

I still find Xcode very productive, pleasant to use, and far better than almost any alternative I have seen.

It has some annoying bugs, some annoying limitations, but none that would make it any worse than the absolute shitshows you get elsewhere.

I do know what I am talking about, here. I have done a lot of this.

The author seems to be confusing building software with using software. We can build higher level software that allows people to do more (excel), but someone still has to know how all that works (and even what /usr/local/bin and $PATH is) and be able to work at the lower layers. That is what a software engineer is. Do we need to marginalize and inclusive-ise everything to death?
Kind-of sounds like Steve Jobs was right in what he told Drew Houston: Dropbox is a feature, not a product.

Houston disagreed and they've spent all this time ever since trying to prove Jobs wrong. Meanwhile Apple built iCloud and Microsoft built OneDrive into their operating systems.
Cofounder of 13 Fund, and author of this investment thesis. As entrepreneurs who exited our startups last year, we wanted to give back to the communities that fostered us. So we set up this foundation to invest back in SF and NY with bi-annual grants.

For our first grant, we focused on small business development, specifically restaurant closures. We mined public data, talked to affected restaurants, as well as academics and politicians.

We found some expected causes (falling sales) as well as unexpected (labor flight).

Would be happy to answer questions about our methodology or findings!

I haven't watched the talk. During the Late Bronze Age Collapse, civilizations around the Mediterranean lost the ability to write! Before the Collapse, we see lots of Egyptian hieroglyphs and Sumerian cuneiform. Afterwards, we have a period of quiet for about a century, and then Phoenician emerges and starts splitting into all of the abjads and alphabets that we see today. This is how we know, for example, that many Iron Age writings are talking about Bronze Age myths; they're written in the wrong language for their time period.

We still don't know how to read Linear A; it is on the wrong side of the Collapse and we don't have a Rosetta Stone or other transitional artifact yet which includes it. It is not unreasonable that it could take us millennia to recall how to do things which we've forgotten.
