So happy to see this pop up on hacker news again.
An anecdote (as far as I can remember it correctly), during one of his award lectures (after the 1997 Turing award), he was asked why he thinks that some of his tech was easily adapted (mouse etc.) and some others weren't (hyperlinks). He answered "Maybe the time is not right yet." ;)

Shameless self plug:
I'm part of a couple of crazy scientists and enthusiasts following work from Doug Engelbart, Wiener, Stelarc etc.

1. Define “reasonable amount of time”

2. Define “technology”

The meta-technology of R&D and socio-economic programs that will make these things happen exists and gets better every day. If a method to perform the needful does not exist, it will given the right conditions.
You are quoting a reddit comment which mis-interpreted what Federighi said. They didn't say they would prevent alternative operating systems from booting, only that they aren't doing it. As opposed to the fact that they are in fact helping get Linux running in the hypervisor and actually demoed Linux running in a VM before it was public.

Apple documented how people could boot alternative operating systems.

The decriminalization wave helped me find minds like Paul Stamets, Hamilton Morris, and Will Hall. Then I started asking more questions and found writers like Johan Harri, Michael Pollan, and Robert Whitaker. Following Whitaker's work after reading his Anatomy of an Epidemic, I also suggest watching the "Medicating Normal" movie.
Yeah so I kinda wonder what percent of macs use malwarebytes.

Something I can never quite explain to people is that when I can navigate the information faster, I can see deeper problems. Every time someone decided that this is good enough and that I “should be able to figure it out, what’s the big deal?” I am stymied.

Which would sound like someone whining about how the bigger kids are running too fast, but when I finally get fed up and fix the code, half the time I’m the one who spots the underlying problem that makes a big difference. Accidental complexity kills invention. Every time we make a better tool, we reduce the accidental complexity.

If we ever figure out how to draw or write directly from the motor cortex, no hands involved, that will be a new Enlightenment.
Agreed.

“CA bill...” or “Calif. bill...” seem better.
> And all that work could vanish if there was a standard bundler.

The same balance of forces that mandate all of that toilsome work are exactly what would prevent any standard bundler from succeeding.

You can follow https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/linux/SnapsFlatpaks... and https://www.techrepublic.com/article/why-snap-and-flatpak-ar... and various related discussions around this and eventually I am confident you will conclude that while things may change (today there's docker in the mix as well, tomorrow there will be something else), the one-true-packaging-solution will never be invented.

There are simply far too many fundamentally conflicting interests to ever prevent that level of standardization.

What you see now is more or less what you will always get. Or, perhaps, we'll see something worse (i.e. only fully locked down computing devices, only app stores with no sideloading capabilities, various other dystopian outcomes). I'm pretty sure we're not going to see something better though; we've had plenty of time...
I'm not sure what asymmetric encryption has to do with this.

There are already protocols that are widely used in ham radio that support encryption. For example, DMR supports encryption (because DMR can also operate in commercial bands, under different laws), it's just not used for ham radio and I've never seen a ham turn it on. Wifi supports encryption, and ham radio operators using it in ham radio bands (with more power) actually turn encryption on but document the PSK publicly (in an attempt to keep the non hams out, but make the encryption more an encoding that anyone could decode).

In my experience, ham radio operators generally roughly follow the rules.
I'm on the same boat. I stopped watching their videos after I started to feel more and more videos were made just for the sake of making more videos. Every time I bite and watch through, I realize I haven't gained any fun, information, nor education and just wasted 10 minutes and 1 second of my time. I don't think it's just LTT. I feel that more and more channels are going this way.
The HN title is very misleading, but the blog title of "Raiders" isn't very illuminating.

Maybe "staging in raiders of the lost ark"?
I agree. A headline such as “California bill proposes decriminalizing psychedelics” would be much clearer.
Is RADAR Controller the senior position and RADAR Associate the junior position? That is, does one normally progress from Associate to Controller? How long does it take to progress from one to the next? Is it common/expected for people in your position to move to different airports?

The neat thing about Swift's ABI compatibility is that it's almost as flexible as its API compatibility, e.g.

- A library can add new fields to a struct.

- A library's parameterized types can be instantiated with new arguments.

Skimming over the D ABI docs, the compatibility seems much more rigid.
If you implement a multiplexer with logic gates, you'd probably do something like `(A and SEL_A) or (B and SEL_B) or (C and SEL_C) or (D and SEL_D)` where A-D are the inputs and SEL* are the select lines.

Using De Morgan's law, the gates could all be NAND gate. You'd have four 2-input NAND gates (4 transistors each) and a 4-input NAND gate (8 transistors), for a total of 24 transistors if I counted correctly. Using four transmission gates (2 transistors each) would only be 8 transistors. (There are various other tradeoffs I won't get into.)

If you didn't need the SEL lines elsewhere, you could fold the decoding into the multiplexer, eliminating the decoding gates, but the multiplexer still comes out ahead.

(And thanks for letting me know about the typo. It's nice to know someone reads the footnotes :-)
I am in such a position and I've done exactly what you think i should do to alleviate the problem.

Ive gone so far as to open 4 accounts with different banks to do actual tests

The biggest issue i found is that no bank offers a "free trial" of its own to facilitate discovery.

I have filled at least a dozen firms twice becuase the bank wants "wet ink" signatures

I had to overlook those instances just so i could test the UI, but honestly, its an exercise in supreme patience and i am afraid my whole effort will be pointless. I suspect all 5 banks will be equally bad.
Oh yeah, life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone.
From Wikipedia:

> NASA's budget for fiscal year (FY) 2020 is $22.6 billion. It represents 0.48% of the $4.7 trillion the United States plans to spend in the fiscal year.

NASA uses less than half of 1 percent of the federal budget. If you care so much about budget waste, there are a myriad of other places you could complain about (how about defense or healthcare spending?)

The practical benefits of NASA's science and engineering efforts have been laid out many times in many different places. There are also less practical benefits; for example, how can you quantify the impact that the Blue Marble photo had on the environmental movement? That was only possible because we put someone on the Moon.

Curmudgeons like you will always be around, and those of us who enjoy seeing humanity push itself and accomplish incredible things are happy to ignore you :)

What’s more, having for-profit prisons is a nice boost to the economy. Just think how many jobs are created by the “need” to round up, prosecute, and incarcerate people. Then charge them (or rather their loved ones) obscene rates for phone calls (look this up; it’s truly awful).

We could reassign money to do community outreach, pay for jobs that provide mental health services, etc. But there are a lot of people who currently have a financial interest in maintaining the status quo.
The most common usage of the term "handheld radio" refers to a receive-only device for the AM/FM bands, not a transceiver.

Computers are tools to get a job done. I buy a computer so I can write software on it. While I am happy that we can get Linux and OpenBSD on a Mac, it's not a deal breaker. Regardless of whether OpenBSD or Linux boots on it, I can get my job done quickly and effectively.

If they did something that got in the way of building the software I need to build? Then I'd punch out in a heartbeat.

Not everyone is interesting in fiddling with the internals of the tools they buy. Even if that tool is a computer.

Batteries, wires, semiconductors, insulators that can work at 600°C are known. Magnets and with them electric motors are harder, neodymium magnets stop working, but you can still do with iron and cobalt magnets.

Generating power is also tricky, I have no idea how dark it is below the clouds, because all the photos are obviously adjusted to the dynamic range of displays. Possibly a nuclear-powered Stirling engine could just work, using some metal or salt with an appropriate boiling point.

You can cover the exterior metal parts of your craft with something like gold or platinum to protect against the acids.

This seems doable, but looks like much, much more work than a Mars lander which needs to operate in conditions similar to Antarctica, rather well studied and easily replicated.

We do, since 1985 at least.
Because transmission gate literally are two transistors. Standard two input logic gate contains four. So for example you can build two to one multiplexer from two transmission gates for total of four transistors while implementing the same function from standard totem-pole logic would require at least three gates totaling 12 transistors. (In both cases assuming you already have complementary control input, which you usually either have or can share with something. This kind of sharing optimization is the reason why transmission gate usually has complementary input and does not include the inverter internally)

There is huge difference between multi-decade projects and "pure sci-fi" or "impossible".

"Reasonable" is subjective to define, but there are many multi-decade projects running right now so I don't think of multi-decade projects as unreasonable.

Things like sending man to the Moon or building Space Station would have been deemed "pure sci-fi" with the approach of the parent commenter.

It has already happened in two cities. I live in Oakland and didn’t even realize. I already loved my city, but I’m really proud to have learned about this. From TFA:

Change usually happens slowly. But California is inching towards what I hope is inevitable.
First, it's only a strawman if you think accepted cognitive metaphor theory is wrong and the concrete form of "steal"/"theft" did not come before the more abstract mappings...

And are you really saying that "steal" has evolved away from also including "stealing ideas" and similar (including "piracy")? Because that's demonstrably false simply by pointing to the original argument you made complaining that people are using "steal" in the "wrong" way. I'm curious, though, do you have some data to back up that claim? (I'm assuming no—or something anecdotal at best—but on the off chance you have something, please, share!)

You are aware that general use defines language and what's considered correct, right? How you feel about it as an individual doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things unless you manage to affect general usage of the term "steal" to no longer include "piracy".

You're obviously not arguing in good faith—e.g. by cherry-picking what you respond to (out of context even ... while missing the point) while completely ignoring other arguments. I'll refrain from taking further part in the discussion if that pattern continues because it's frankly a waste of time and effort.
I wish I could be romantic about something again. Outside the typical industry stuff that killed it for me is the fact that nothing feels like magic anymore.

When I was a kid and really started programming. There was all sorts of software that fascinated me. It seemed like magic and the code behind it looked arcane. I would often to try to learn about things far out of reach for a kid who was really user beginning and I wasn’t really intelligent enough to stick with it and figure it out and it felt like magic still.

After I first burned out, I came back to some of this stuff. Sometimes by our accident and sometimes to try and recapture that magic. Now I was much more experienced and a little bit smarter however, and the magic quickly fell apart. Everything made sense when you think about it and a lot of things seemed closer to hacks than magic (not the cool kind either).

Since then I’ve lost of lot of interest in programming. There are still things outside of programming that I’ve tried to replace it with that give the same feeling as programming once did, but I find I don’t have the intelligence or straight up money to get into them the same way.
Yeah, it absolutely blows my mind that you can watch Jim Belushi growing weed on the Discovery Channel, meanwhile people are still being arrested and their lives ruined for growing and smoking it. Those people are skewed minority. NJ citizens have voted to legalize weed and people there are still being arrested there for it. It's insanity, and it needs to end.
At the point the hardware shipped, it was impossible to boot non-Apple operating systems on M1 systems. Post-release updates added this, but Apple had not publicly committed to doing so before that.
They are so many years ahead that it is a totally different league (and will stay this way for many years).

By the time other launch providers get to reusability SpaceX will probably be already flying Starship, decreasing price even further along with other advancements.

Thank you for the reply and pointing me the knowledge of such. I'm not American, so if a space agency ever makes the news its is only ever thrown around as "NASA X" "SpaceX Y".

Space really doesn't interest me, maybe it should. So it would be fair to say I am dumb on the subject and I would agree. Maybe it shows in my post. But my interests are on that we tackle those climate issues in the present now rather then waiting for an spinoff for a cure all. I don't disagree that the spin-offs are not great achievements. I want Lasek someday.

Geothermal, Renewable tech and the so is where my interests aim and I just don't see what the current space missions are achieving. Why do we need a lunar gateway? It feels like there is a whole private class wanting space to be their thing.

It would be fair to say there could be a rock on Mars or other distance planet that I dunno, could resolve environmental issue X. But when I see immature posts from entrepreneurs such as Elon, other rich classes such as Jeff, Richard Branson toying with new rocket can achieve turbo flames using precious resources turns me the other way. Especially when they're the ones contributing to the environmental problems we currently live with. That's what leaves me unconvinced. And yes you could say Elon's venture of Tesla is start of the electric car revolution but that should of happened many years ago. But is better then nothing.

It's hard to take a positive stance that space exploration is for the good when we have governments of evil, greed wanting to watch, control and who currently rule the planet that way and sure would love to rule the universe in the same nasty way. Same with technology used as a snooping device, data mining and monitoring for other big companies. How can you convince me that Starlink isn't being used to spy on others? The internet is a waste-land as it is.

I am not saying stop all space exploration nor that we shouldn't fund such programs but there is so much time & investment in to space lately that could be funneled in to beneficial fixes to the environmental problems of the now allowing produce of real technology rather waiting for the next spin-off. Anytime I come across something space, it looks and feels gritty for selfish greed rather then to help cause X of this planet. If there was a vibe of "Mars travel and we are going to work on solving environmental problems too" then I would view it differently.

Lets face it, there has never been true money pushed forward to resolving on-land problems and we let those who destroy off the hook.

Nuclear was outputting about 75% of its capacity, which was pretty good performance compared to the other sources.
At that rate, if we'd had 25 GW of additional nuclear capacity instead of 25 GW of wind capacity, we would have had another 15 GW of power available during the cold night hours, when wind was outputting only 3.5 GW of its 25 GW capacity.

Wouldn't generalizing all white people as racists be a form of racism itself? Oh wait I forgot only white people are capable of racism.
It's not that companies are charging arbitrarily different amounts. They package features and levels of service or support differently for bespoke contracts, and that makes some of them cost more.

Any email list that failed to observe this would not be useful other than for the small companies looking for the feature/price floor.
Well, the economist one generalizes better, but the specific one from the article is just way more fun.
Don’t focus on the type of plastic or polymer too much. Virgin plastics themselves arent too reactive/biologically active. It’s the additives, plasticizers, and environmental/industrial chemicals they pick up that react/interfere with organisms. And those are largely unregulated and definitely opaque to any end consumer. Not all PET is equal.

Source: casual interest, and a partner who’s a biologist working on a chem PhD specifically around measuring the effect of micro/nano plastics in marine organisms.
I believe previous generations' media had higher journalistic ideals than today's clickbait. They were by no means flawless back in the day (plenty of cases where they covered up things, like FDR's physical health). But they didn't see themselves as infotainment the way so much of cable news appears to, or nakedly pander to one side.

But I also don't imagine they had quite the same type of ruthless competition as today. So maybe we're all just products of our times.
Most famous general book would be Gall's Systematics
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Gall_(author)

He is the author of the famous Gall's Law:

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work. You have to start over with a working simple system

But then you need to dive into the field you are asking questions about. So, for example, you'd need some knowledge about how software engineering organizations work to help answer the OS/bug question. Gall's law just takes a critical look at systems and tries to describe common patterns of human organization. It has a lot of insight. "The Mythical Man Month" is great for insights on software engineering. Other books have good insights on corporate culture, business, etc.

Also Taleb, although I find him opinionated and annoying, does have useful insights on risk that are important to understand.
Most programmers are not idiots, and whatever degree they are dicks, little of the dickish behavior is directed towards leaving traps for future developers.

That poor code gets written is due mostly due to the constraints (both technical and non technical) around writing code.

As a further aside, I've never been in fear of losing my job if I couldn't solve a bug. If you have been (for any other reason than the fact that not solving the bug would be an existential threat to your employer), then may I suggest finding a better employer?
