I've gotten a decent system down for shopping and rainy days.

For the shopping, I have basket on the front of my bike, which takes care of most small amounts of groceries. Next I have two pannier bags that fit on the rear luggage rack, and easily attach/detach for carrying around. A large backpack can be added for shorter rides with little discomfort. Beyond that, I do have a bike trailer, but that is only needed for truly large purchases.

For the rain, I've found a common rain poncho to work quite well, by draping the front over the handlebars and sitting on the back part, which keeps it in place.

Obviously this is not the end-all be-all solution, but it does make those shopping trips in the rain a bit easier and a lot less wet.
Be sure to do practices with the emergency button. My grandparents had one and when my grandmother really needed it, it did not work. Turns out you need to press it and hold it down for a decent amount of time before it would activate. I'm not sure which brand it was. She hit the button multiple times, but did not know or remember that you must press and hold for a few seconds.

Keeping Legacy Software alive: a case study

> It was like the keyboard would go to sleep if a key wasn’t pressed for a few seconds, and the first keypress after a wake would be delayed or, worse, dropped.

I have a Sculpt keyboard as well, and the way to fix this is just to move the wireless USB stick that's in your computer closer to your keyboard. I have mine at about a 40cm distance. If I place it over 100cm away I start getting sporadic connectivity issues, which result in delayed or dropped input. It also gets worse if you have a lot of things in the way between your USB stick and keyboard/mouse (duh). For example, if you place the stick at the back of your PC, and below your desk, the signal has a harder time going through the chassis and desk to reach your keyboard/mouse.
In Germany we have a generic brand called "ja!". The Products are simply named "ja!" with the descriptive product name, for example "ja! Sugar", "ja! Milk" etc.

The design of these products is not exactly good looking, but very recognizable. One designer applied this brand image to a whole appartment with a "ja! living room" and "ja! armchair", which I find hilarious.

Look at that "ja! disco ball" and the "ja! beer vending machine", isn't that just awesome?
The "architecting systems" vs "developing a game" point really hit home. When I've attempted to make a game myself I've ended up developing - a night-sky pixel-art generator based off of night-sky data from SIMBAD. This was seriously overengineered and had an excessive amount of undergrad astrophysics involved. I spent weeks on this and in the end the core gameplay was not even developed!
Agreed this is unusual. The airlines could likely send inspection teams with appropriate equipment to the airport they are presently at. It is also probable the FAA would issue "ferry permits" to fly the jets to a maintenance base.

United Airlines and probably some other 777 operators fly cargo-only some flights in those aircraft, since the pandemic restrictions started. This would give operators some flexibility to minimize the number of cancelled flights.

For airlines like United Airlines, they fly both 777-200 and 777-300 aircraft. The United Airlines 777-300 aircraft fly with GE90 engines, which are not grounded.

Because Passerine is pass-by-value, it only allows each reference to be owned by one object.

> So if some code somewhere hands me a list that contains references to some heap data, how do you track this?

Passerine is a high-level language, so it does not give the programmer control over whether something is a list of references to data on the heap or a list of values. Assuming `a`, `b`, and `c` have been defined, If I write this:

list = [a, b, c]

`a`, `b`, and `c` will be moved into the list upon construction. If I do something like:

list = [a, b, c]
print (foo a c)

`b` will be moved into the list, and copies of `a` and `c` will be moved into the list.

So, to now answer your question:

list = [a, b, c]
list = drop_first list

> We lost/dropped/gave up a. How do we know how a was tied to the stack?

`a` was tied to the stack because it's in `[a, b, c]`, which is tied to the stack via `list`.

> How many other references might point at the object previously referenced by a? Can we collect that object now?

By definition, none - `a` is a unique value. Now that we dropped `a`, there are guaranteed to be no other references of `a`, so we can collect that object now.

> Is this the case where reference counting kicks in?

No, the reference counting is a small optimization for sharing immutable values in closures. If a closure captures a value, say a large list, we don't want to go around copying this willy-nilly:

big_list = [...]
c = () -> {
-- big list is copied when the closure is made
-- this happens because the reference in the closure can outlive local stack frame
a -> first big_list
}

-- these calls to c do not copy big_list again
a_outer = c ()
a_another = c ()

Closures need to copy values immutably to prevent the construction of cycles. I wrote a long explanation on why this is the case, but I've decided to move it to the blog post when I publish it. I thought of a way to efficiently count references acyclically, but I need to work it out before I made any more claims.

Hope this helps!
> This was the future!

That’s awesome! :)

I didn’t ever work with punch cards, but my very first summer job in the early 90s with a big engineering company they were using several main frames. They were huge! Sort of like the WOPR in the film War Games, but less colourful flashing LEDs.

It was very corporate atmosphere, everyone wearing suits and ties, there wasn’t much of a sense of it being the future, just the way big engineering companies operated.

I never got to program on them, I just got a tour of the server room, so perhaps the atmosphere was different for the programmers.

I looked up teletyoes on Wikipedia. They look like an electronic type writer.

I can’t imagine the workflow for writing programs on such a device. I guess there was no vim/emacs yet. How did you go about writing a script to parse and process some data on such a device?
Kinda ugly.... looks like a 70s, or 80s movie set prop about how the future would look like.

It's context dependent, but I do like the difficulty setting analogy. Like the pact of punishment in Hades, except you don't get extra rewards.

In one abstract example there'll be a discussion of why x group are so sensitve about y. Instead of saying "check your privilege" I say something like "maybe their tired of having to worry about z? When was the last time you had to think about z on a day to day basis?", asking genuinely and waiting for response, not just asked rhetorically.

Yup, it's on writing more, not on writing something useful. They chose quantity over quality.

For what it's worth, it's long and rambling. The abject incoherence of their writing fails to hold your attention.

The old LLVs also have a slanted back, its possible its just for design, I'm picturing it with a flat back and it just looks wrong, like a typical creepy white van. The slope gives it some character. Although you're right, there probably is a more nuanced reason.
While it may well be self-serving, this is also a near tautological statement, as you'd expect someone who pushes crypto to also hold a lot of crypto if they genuinely believe in it - whether for sound reasons or not. As such the fact they're holding crypto tells us nothing about whether they're pushing it because they're holding it or pushing it because they believe in it.
How did you change every sqlite db running on your system?
I miss plaintext. When I ran nmh the benefit was the tools were unix. Sieve, server side languages for tagging and sorting are enormously powerful. Free text search is powerful.

I know I use it but bayes spam checks worry me.

The only problem I retain, is how 822 envelope state is passed to me, so I can differentiate on header, body and envelope. If you lose envelope, some things become harder.

Backprop requires global communication but biological brain works with local communication in neural assemblies, where signals spread in a way somewhat similar to diffusion.

There is no global “teaching signal” or “delta rule” error correction. Learning via reward and punishment is a wrong level of abstraction for fundamental cognitive tasks like visual object recognition or “parsing” auditory signal.

Sometime people mention dopamine as a kind of reinforcement signal but it operates on completely different time scale, orders of magnitude slower than any iterative optimization model would require.

And the energy and time spent on iterative optimization in ANNs is not available to living organisms with constrained resources.

If you’re interested in authoritative opinion on what kind of learning is biologically plausible see e.g. prof. Edmund Rolls recent book called “Brain Computations”.

This does not hold true for Fiverr.

On Fiverr, the identity of the seller is completely concealed from the buyer. Usually the seller does not even tell you their full name, let alone send you an invoice.

This is actually a big plus of Fiverr. You only get invoices from one company in Israel (Fiverr) instead of invoices from all around the world.

It just sucks that they send you an invoice after every gig. They should have an option to send you one each month. Payment could still be after each gig. Just the invoices should be combined.

Regarding speed limit changes, since September last year all streets in Bilbao have a maximum speed limit of 30km/h (18.5 mph). Now, if you can't legally go faster than 30km/h, then something that can go at 45km/h max starts to make more sense. Yes, that might work!

> I really don't understand why Apple is apparently incapable of making these laptops use standard, replaceable m.2 NVMe SSDs.

Coz there's no standard M.2 form factor NVMe SSDs without a controller chip, and even if you can find one, there's no standard protocol to talk to it.

Recall that 3rd-party drive manufacturers are really bad at properly making Self-Encrypting Drives (lots of HN stories previously, just search for SED). It's very likely a factor for Apple to decide to implement its own SSD controller inside the T1/T2 chip on recent Intel Macs, and directly on die on Apple Silicon, so that Apple can fully control the data written to raw flash and be confident in its own implementation of encryption.

Charging a premium for more capacity is a standard Apple practice anyway, and the fact that such security-focused approach makes it unavoidable is a side-effect.

> If the purpose for 'historical investigation of the consequences of past actions' is to rally anger and hate in the present

That's exactly what many 'investigations', which are not always historically accurate, are about: Stroking nationalism, hate, and a sense of revenge on the one side (and we can see good examples of that in the comments here), and shame on the other side.

The UK and Europe have nothing to be ashamed of (which isn't to say that past actions cannot be criticised). Stroking hate and revenge is taking a path of perpetuation of aggression.

Certainly, this article is crass propaganda and not journalism. I flagged the submission to no effect.

website is still up.

I remember when they took over outpost.com, and then mucked it up. Went from overnight shipping, and in my case sometimes 3 hour shipping (and this was almost 20 years ago), to nothing.

They've mucked up so many of my online orders through the years that it feels like they messed up every one of them. From bait and switch, cancelled orders, to cheap chinese knockoffs, not as advertised. And the 2 month - 2 MONTHS wait on backorders, over and over.

This from outpost that could deliver in 3 hours. And fry's still owes me a $20 rebate, from a "different" company that was oddly enough just next to them in actual address.

Assuming car as transport, no issues.

Some golden rules are;

1) Take a few more days water than you expect the journey to take.

2) Let someone know when you should hit checkpoints so they can report if you don't show.

3) Don't go off track if you don't know what you are doing.

4) Dont leave the car if you break down.

5) If a crossing is flooded, don't take it.

But I think that's a relatively well trafficked route if you take the main roads.
I've held tethers before now. The 'fractional reserve' thing is unknown. If I were a crook and running the thing I probably would have printed lots of tethers to buy bitcoin in the slump then sell them at a profit to fix the reserves and buy and island. But who knows unless they do an audit which they seem very reluctant to do. The above scenario would be illegal but would not lead to the collapse of tether unless the law got them which is tricky as they are based in various offshore locations.

I've been through this whole tether is a scam which will collapse thing before around late 2017 or Jan 18 and inspite of the crypto downturn they didn't.

There isn't a way you could track results instead of the time they're sitting in front of the computer? That way you don't waste time micromanaging and the freelancer is rewarded for working smarter rather than longer.

With time tracking, the freelancer earns less if they find shortcuts and you'd probably rather the work was finished sooner rather than later so the incentives are all mixed up.
Totally agree. I have a DO K8S cluster that we've supported since launch and I've had a single problem that was fixed by replacing a node. The Azure K8S cluster we support causes problems monthly. The client was heavily invested in an MS stack already so we picked Azure but we're likely going to get rid of it in in favour of paying a little bit more for SQL Server on AWS RDS in future.

I dont know about the US, but in India, a lot of private companies do not allow freelancing during off time.

That is commonly what people say, but as you point out I don't think their objection is consistent. You might call someone who perpetrated an act of violence a "Spouse abuser" even if that person spends 99.9% of their waking hours not beating up their spouse.

Calling someone a spouse abuser, drunk, jaywalker ("Nobody actually walks jays!"), illegal immigrant, whatever doesn't at all imply that you are summing up the totality of that person as all and only that appellation. It just means you think they've committed the associated crime. It would be rude to call an illegal immigrant an illegal immigrant at every opportunity, but it is just dishonest in my view to assert that they are not an illegal immigrant.

Interesting. So no one else is allowed to deliver letters, for example? Here in Germany for example there's one or a few courier services in pretty much most larger cities that deliver "local" mail, often by bike, and usually cheaper than the Deutsche Post. So most companies having lots of local customers tend to predominantly use those, while longer-distance mail is sent via Post. It's also a bit more efficient as such things can often be presorted by the sender (into local and long-distance mail) and the local mail doesn't have to go through the sorting center that's probably a bit further away, saving basically a round-trip for letter that just go back to the same city.
