My first UNIX was Xenix, on a PC carried into the class once a week, that was then shared in turns between students.

Hardly impressive, with its green phosphor terminal.

SGI was interesting, then again I guess you didn't had much contact with Atari and Amiga scene back then, right?

Object Pascal dialect was originally created by Apple in collaboration with Niklaus Wirth (see clascal), used to write the Lisa and Mac OS operating systems (naturally they also had their share of Assembly, like UNIX also does).

They only switched to C and C++ after market pressure to have some compatibility with them.
Yeah... And other stock trading platforms also stopped users from trading GSE. So by your own bad logic the original complaint against Ribbonhood should be no big deal, right?
> r/WSB isn't commanding people to buy

ehhhhhh... I've seen plenty of BUY BUY BUY posts. Unless I'm missing your point. I understand what WSB isn't a corporation or entity in and of itself, but it is still a (somewhat) organised group of uh... "investors".
This is a much better argument than bathroom breaks. I do think it still comes down to an ability to self manage, which is going to vary widely by individual.
3x as many servers, it is probably going to be 3x more expensive. Money is something that everyone cares about
This is simply false reporting. The play had a everything to do with Ryan Cohen. Arstechnica is long since being credible. They’re owned by conde naste and it shows.
You are being disingenuous here. Lisp is cool but it does not enable "any part of Nyxt to be reprogrammed at any time".

Your project is essentially a thin UI veneer on top of C browser engines. That latter part, which is by far the most interesting, can not be reprogrammed in Lisp except through the very limited exposed C library API. Which leads me to the issues I see with Nyxt:

Security will always be a serious problem (and getting worse as time flows). You don't have the resources of Google or even Mozilla, that ship self-contained browsers and can implement security solutions in a holistic, systemic manner. Doing browsing with the isolated engine libraries was (and still is) a recipe for disaster.

Then, for the same reasons, the big corporations can essentially kill your project at any point by treating it as unsafe/insecure and having their sites stop working (which is actually happening at Google).

But most important to me, other than security, is the lack of flexibility and power. The UI veneer and subsets of the rendering engine library APIs that you expose as programmable in Lisp, are the least interesting ones. Why would anyone want to reimplement uBlock or other popular extensions in some convoluted mix of Lisp and Javascript, rather than use the superior originals? This is the final tombstone for me.

It's clear that you're trying to build an ecosystem and deliver "apps" on top of, like an Emacs-like for the web maybe, but for the reasons I mentioned I see it as fundamentally flawed and want no part of it.
It's rich that coordinated behavior is manipulation but investing in a targeted managed fund isn't.

Or that "I'm buying to squeeze the shorts" is manipulation and "I'm buying because the shorts are overextended" isn't.
I just looked and subscriptions are very clearly labeled every step of the way, not even an attempt to be tricky that I can see.
The Power of Nightmares - Curtis traces back the history of leaders abandoning the approach of holding on to power through a shared vision of a better tomorrow that people can rally around. Curtis using the rise of suicide bombing as an example of a powerful nightmare that leaders can use to gain and keep power by convincing the people that their leadership is the only thing holding back the abyss.
Hacker News is not the place for this transphobic propaganda. This is not feminism, it is bigotry. Treating trans-women with dignity does not in any way diminish cis-women.
Press a button and instantly deduct a new tax from my bank account as well.
This all seems like a nice attack vector for a nation state or large group of organized hackers. Flood a forum with bots spouting pro-stock x and "stick it to the man" messages, buy a bunch of shares and sit back and wait. Sell at 4-5x, Profit, Rinse, Repeat and leave the suckers holding the bag.

There will be suckers. We just haven't hit that point yet.
You can interact with your Windows filesystem from WSL2, though the performance is worse than the VM's own filesystem. Additionally you can access WSL2's files through the \\wsl$ share. For example, /mnt/c/windows/notepad.exe ~/file launches notepad on my Windows desktop and opens ~/file from WSL2. While the integration isn't perfect, it is usable.

The reason I prefer it to MacOS is that it is actually a real Linux kernel with all the trimmings - such as apt, docker, eBPF etc. My recent experience on MacOS is that every update seems to break Brew, which, while better than MacPorts, doesn't even work all that well to begin with. MacOS is a weird BSD with poorly documented closed source system components such as launchd. If that's your thing, it's fine - but I personally find the Mac/BSD userspace unpleasant to work with and am tired of fighting against it every time Apple decide to break my attempts to make it more tolerable.

Versus a VM it's less clear, but the integration is actually fairly good, each of your WSL2 "distros" start instantly, you can launch them to the current directory in Explorer or use them from Windows Terminal without SSHing. For the most part, it _feels_ like Ubuntu is just a part of Windows.

My workflow with WSL2 is that I keep most of my repos in the Windows desktop and use Windows versions of JetBrains' IDEs or VSCode for most of my work, but then I use WSL for docker/kubernetes, running CLI-oriented things like vim, ffmpeg, imagemagick, shell scripts, python, terraform, etc.

Plus, I have a Ryzen 5950X with 128GB memory, which isn't strictly a limitation of MacOS, but it certainly makes my life a lot better!
Tesla is a wee bit overrated as a car maker. They just arent quality.

Their technology however, is mind blowing.

They don't have a normal amount of outages. They have more outages. It's a significant amount of outages. It's already been the subject of complaints previously.
New Study by Dr. Steven Quay Concludes That SARS-CoV-2 Came from a Laboratory
What made that first project rewarding is that I had to figure out the math for doing certain geometric calculations: find the angle between the line through these 2 points and the line through these other 2 points. Find the orthogonal distance between this point and this line. Etc. Also, writing code to poll the COM port to communicate with the input device. Those are interesting problems to solve. You get a sense of accomplishment from solving them.

Fortunately, in my professional work, I'm not affected by office politics, and I can handle the overhead of project management. It's just the lack of opportunity to write code that does something interesting (figure out an algorithm that does something non-trivial with this data) that bugs me.
Surface Neo: Everything we know so far
Is it still true that QUIC avoids inspection/filtering, so it's blocked by a lot of corporate firewalls?
I skimmed the paper and read it as an improved passive attack against ESNI and Do{T,H} setups. There's nothing really new, other than QUIC making it easier to identify the destinations.

Traffic analysis is a harsh villain.
Yeah, but with lightning you really need enough value along the network path(s) to execute a transaction, possibly causing a similar thing as this to happen. I still think it would be an improvement though, as enthusiastic buyers could expand the network and get their buys through.
This referenced paper is dense yet surprisingly readable. Looking forward to all all C++ implementations implementing the std::from_chars function.

Tesla is a company which produces goods and services in return for money. When you own stock in Tesla you own part of the company so it's not something that would be classified as a store of value since it's economically productive.
It always starts with screening people on the enter (who shares same values and culture).

Some successful remote companies i know do regularly few days offline meetups, team buildings etc.
> Yep, it's really great that markets can create speculation that are not tied at all to the fundamentals of a security. That doesn't create bubbles, volatility, or open the door for endless shenanigans at all.

Speculation is a huge part of the market, and "sophisticated investors" take part in it all the time. Tell me why certain popular tech stocks are trading at P/E ratios of more than 1000, or pulling in negative income year after year. Be sure to justify your answer using "fundamentals".
I still cringe when I think back to some C projects from long ago, where the dependency chains of headers and libraries where unfathomably byzantine.

On a related note, lately I have been looking into some biochemistry topics and their relation to computer science. It seems that cyclic dependencies are possibly a requirement for life, which makes faithful simulations of biochemical processes an interesting challenge.
The Secret History of Windows Bluescreens
Such false equivalence. Everything costs resources to produce. Simply stating that it costs resources, or even just stating how much resources it costs, is completely meaningless on its own.

Pixar movies cost resources, prolonging life with medical treatment costs resources, chocolate candy bars cost resources, operating the Olympic Games costs resources.

In each case, various people believe the resource costs are worth it to get the thing that is produced. Same for bitcoin, same for ads.

You can’t just say they cost resources. If you’re advocating these things shouldn’t exist, you either need to get into the specifics of why they offer value but just not enough to offset their resource costs, or why they don’t offer value, and persuade others to agree with you.

Judging by the success of ads and bitcoin, I think, “these things consume resources” is a pretty weak and useless argument. It would not matter if the resource costs were astronomical or tiny, it’s a specious chain of reasoning in principle.
I believe it was Franklin who said "The man who sacrifices liberty for security will get neither" (paraphrasing) ... however, it's not a common sentiment among law-enforcement officials who prefer quiet over creativity. You are right that it ought not be considered by sane citizens in a free country, but what do you tell the appointed officials that try so desperately to make it so?
I actually prefer to use WMs when I can, I know there's Sway which is toted a bit as Wayland's i3, but I more prefer bspwm's setup and would like to see that, albeit, I haven't looked too deep into the market at all; my main concerns are all pretty much compatibility-related, but that might not even be justified.
Migrants, even illegal migrants, in the United States DO have rights. The bill of rights covers all people in our country, whether they are undocumented, tourists, students, or whatever. If you abuse them, they may be deported, but you can be prosecuted and serve prison time for abusing them.

Taking away someone Visa is a crime too.. and preventing them from leaving is a felony. And we prosecute people all the time for that.. human traffickers, for example.

adding it as solar would be cheap and effective (if you have the sun).

According to fueleconomy.gov a honda accord costs $1400/year in gasoline in the US.

There's got to be a way to put that towards solar panels, then at some point your transportation costs (for energy) go to zero.

> Kids are introduced to media of their generation by their friends

Look, this is somewhat true. But as a kid, I assure you that parents who treat their children like best friends (like my dad does) are very capable of influencing their kid's interests. Forcing or pressuring a kid into doing x never works long-term.

Is a "short squeeze" by definition market manipulation? In an illegal way?

I don't think it is generally considered such? Unless it involves putting out fraudulent/false information.

Porsche execs were investigated/tried in Germany for lying about their financial situation in order to trigger a short squeeze on Volkswagon (i believe none were convicted) -- the potential crime was the fraudulently misleading communications, not the short squeeze itself.

Because this seems just like any other short squeeze, the difference is mainly that it was planned in public instead of secretly in private. And that makes it less likely to cross the line into some kind of illegality, not more, right?

"Market manipulation" itself is not necessarily illegal, if you just mean doing things that will effect the market in a way to bring profit to yourself. It's what tons of big traders do all the time, right? It's illegal when it involves fraud, lying, secret collusion, insider trading, dereliction of fiduciary responsibility, etc. Any kind of 'short squeeze' could certainly be considered "market manipulation" in the plain English meaning of those words, but that doesn't mean it's illegal.

This investopedia article [1] on 'short squeeze' says "Contrarian investors may buy stocks with heavy short interest in order to exploit the potential for a short squeeze" -- it does not suggest there is anything illegal about that. Is that not exactly what wsb did, no more no less? they collectively decided to buy shares to exploit the potential for a short squeeze.

Investors do this all the time, the unusual thing here is that it was planned completely in public, and that it involved such a large number of small retail traders (in addition to a few pretty big traders... and quite likely other non-wsb-affiliated big traders we don't even know about who saw what wsb was doing and decided to go along for the ride, or who saw the short squeeze potential themselves independently).

Most traders don't put their "market manipulation" in public because a) they don't think it could work if they did, and b) they know they cross grey areas of legality all the time, so don't want their business to be out in the open like that.

But in this case... what law was violated?

[1] https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/shortsqueeze.asp
Not a lawyer but I would also be surprised that adding something like "let's discuss hypothetically..." at the top would be a defense against being accused of market manipulation if it is proven the person actually went ahead and transacted per the post.
I am just sick of all the outrage, frankly.

Now, not only is the stock market all f'd up, we gotta listen to one inane story after another about a market riot.

Not only that, you gotta now worrying if your investments will suddenly and inexplicably become the target of some online mob's ire and get spiked for absolutely no reason. And don't be fooled. These things will absolutely be gamed by botnets, astroturfing, and smear campaigns until kingdom come.

It's just another landmine that makes the whole background of life suck even more.

But yeah, let's get them CNBC types! Burn it down!
Well, if they say it's not fraud, who am I to say otherwise!

Joking aside, the "we just like the stock" "this is not financial advice" stuff is as much a defence as the Someone Who Isn't Me thing I remember seeing on drug-related forums years back. You feel like it's protection because you're not getting prosecuted for admitting something you know is at least in the ballpark of law-breaking, but in reality you're just small-fry that nobody cares about. The moment a big-time dealer is under the spotlight, no amount of SWIM is protection.

I don't expect anyone from WSB to receive repercussions for this, but afaik this is dangerous legal territory and their defensive phrasing is a facade.
I think it's more a function of age. People in highschool or college can stomach more than older adults.

Younger adults don't shock easily because (a) they typically have less and feel less responsibility, (b) the thrill of breaking the rules tempers natural disgust at seeing edgy material, and (c) they have less life experience to have learned empathy for some kinds of people.

Of course, I might be extrapolating foolishly from my own life. I used to have more stomach for cruelty.
>What's wrong with changing the colour and/or background instead?

As mentioned in the article, accessibility for the color blind. Which are a sizeable percentage of the population.

Color should always only be one of at least two differentiators.
Merely outlining the main antagonistic forces to actual free speech -- I'm more concerned with the weird oligarchic relationship between tech giants and law enforcement that cookie-cuts the electoral process out of the equation ... is that what you were getting at?
Are you saying that GM's pensions are not pre-funded? Where did the pension payments go?
Honestly, AMC is an interesting long play if only due to pent up demand for "normal" things like going to the movies.

This is definitely a part of GME as well, I think, the nostalgic attachment. If it wasn't specifically Gamestop, which is kind of a meme in of itself, would it have taken off like it did? I'm not so sure
Digital currency is no different that what already exists in terms of digital representation of one's holding. Really curious to see how the tax payer is going to pay for a glorified database and what value is derived from it.
"You can’t interact with your regular files via WSL"

You absolutely can, I do it all the time. For example, you shift-click your desktop, click "Open Linux shell here" and run imagemagick or ffmpeg to your heart's content.

You can alias subl to your Windows sublime install and then subl ~/whatever will work as expected.

I don't experience any of your other problems. Apt is very quick, copy and paste works fine, typing latency seems lower than Linux (but I do have a 144hz G-sync monitor). I agree that Windows Terminal is a bit spartan, but I was never one for excessive terminal customisation on Linux either so it doesn't really bother me, I guess.
Uh, yeah, as if youtube or any digital screen-based media cannot be instantaneously rewritten or shuffled between visits. Hello "memoryhole" (if you're familiar with 1984)
> I don't see the difference.

?

1. I install synapse (a matrix server) on my own machine. I install Element on my own phone. I connect one to another, and via the server to other servers.

2. I install a client that connects to reddit. Same reddit as everyone else. Same reddit as the reddit website.

There is a rather significant difference, isn't there?

EDIT addressing the 'hate speech' part, you are correct. If one reddit client is banned, all should be banned. But that is not true for communication apps, like Element.

They have to do with the viability of offloading. You can't give the NIC an encrypted stream and have it handle the protocol stuff if it needs to put things inside the encryption to do so.
Oh, so this is source code for "JET blue" under MIT license. For now without comments, tests and build scripts - but that's comming.

Haven't been paying attention... It must not be in the news, right? This is more of a niche interest, not getting any attention. Hard to pay attention to. You really have to be focused on WSB subreddit to know what's going on, right? It's really a few key people understand it. Anyways, yeah, GameStop is a great company with a great stock and some evil hedgefund is going to lose billions for trying to manipulate the price!

For my FE projects I employ a module based code structure. If you import a module, you get the whole thing. This lends itself to many positives but one negative is it makes it easy to run into circular dependencies. I wrote an article discussing my architecture and how I solve circular dependencies in js.

https://erock.io/scaling-js-codebase-multiple-platforms/

In the article I argue that circular dependencies are a good thing because they uncover poor code organization.
We'll I'm going to politely disagree with you on whether synthetic is relevant or not. BigPhrama has mad an industry of making synthetic versions of naturally occurring compounds that they now own the patents on while keeping the naturally occurring compounds scheduled so they get all the monies. Being able to isolate and extract specific compounds from naturally occurring compounds does not mean you get to patent it. There's a huge difference.
The really sad part of this journey is that most of those people, beyond youthful idealism, had no idea whether that dream was for them.

Because there is very little mobility into academia, MANY people land on the wrong side of the pond. You can't try industry and go back. One more difference is that colleges once wanted people with decades industry experience, and many older people saw going back to teach young'uns as a way of giving back.

It's not just older people. If you're in industry, and want to pursue a good idea for 5 years where you don't have elbowroom, or in academia and want to try to commercialize something, you break your academic track. It's possible with tenure, but I find many tenured academics distinctly underimpressive by the point they've gone through decades of abuse to get there....
As an OP6T owner, this is really exciting news. Caleb also used to maintain a SailfishOS port for the 6T, but he's dropped it to focus on pmOS instead.
So you definitely can git clone into your windows file system from WSL.

There are a few edge cases that are tricky (for instance you can’t register a batch script in WSL2 as a file association handler) but for the most part it’s pretty smooth.
I'm about to replace my OnePlus 5T. Last year it started garbling the incoming audio from outgoing phone calls, about 50% of the time. This week it garbled an incoming phone call, so I really can't put off upgrading any longer. I don't make a lot of voice calls, and from home I can use my land line, but if I can't receive calls, it's not a phone.

I've really liked the phone apart from that, but it's a pretty big "apart from that", so I'm iffy on going OnePlus again. Support talked me through making a bug report, and then...nothing.

Anybody else have a similar experience?
Companies can't "own their own shares"; everything belongs to the shareholders. What those shares are are 'treasury shares'(that still belong to the real shareholders) that they can pull out and sell at any time to raise capital. Not sure why they don't do this and get rid of their 500M debt.

Not sure that we should be sad for people who get burned by this... play stupid games, and you will win stupid prizes.
If they were an incorporated bank, made the same realization, and executed a buyout it would be perfectly legal.
