Most of IBM's product numbers are annoyingly random, but sometimes marketing gets it right, as in the case of the System/360. Amusingly, the aerospace version of System/360 is called System/4 Pi: these computers are operating in three dimensions, and just as a circle has 360 degrees, a sphere has 4π steradians.

IBM also had System/370 which was the 1970s version of the 1960s System/360, and similarly System/390 in the 1990s.
They banned the sale of these books at other places?
There are third party batteries, and conversion kits between batteries. Not many people use them because, honestly, the first party batteries are actually pretty good (aside from outliers like Dewalt which has shitty batteries) and nobody has abandoned their battery lines yet.

It's no different than small engines requiring repair, and the companies that make them not supporting them anymore. Yet we've dealt with that for decades.
Having the commands as a display over the edit session was a genius move. UcSD p-system did this too for their OS.

How it showed mark-up was also good.

Whether or not you think quantum theory is intellectually substantial, you have to be able to predict and explain phenomena such as the double-slit experiment or violations of Bell's theorem. Does his proposal do that?
> Meanwhile, JetBrains seems to be staying afloat mostly thanks to hard work and sheer luck.

I don't think they keep ahead simply by hard work and sheer luck. Once you look under the hood at Intellij it's clear that they have significant architectural advantages.

While VS Code is a text editor that uses LSPs to provide refactoring and navigation, Intellij is a refactoring engine with a good text editor on the front. Under the hood Intellij is a structured editor operating on abstract syntax trees. ("psi nodes" in Jetbrain's parlance.)

The hard part of creating an LSP is providing things like refactoring and navigation support, and these are exactly the things that IntelliJ provides for its language plugins. To achieve a given level of refactoring and navigation support an LSP developer needs to expend significantly more effort than a jetbrains plugin developer.

From my vantage point Jetbains doesn't seem to be staying ahead by hard work and luck as much as by an intelligent architecture and design that allows them to produce high-level, high-value features with less effort.

[ It's worth looking at IntelliJ's plugin SDK. https://plugins.jetbrains.com/docs/intellij/psi.html ]
I don’t since you end up with either complex configuration to surface language specific tasks. Having well thought out defaults, tools, etc by separating them out into different IDEs allows for ease of use you couldn’t get with one IDE to rule them all approach. Yes, they sell different IDEs that share a large core but I think the incentives are well aligned for sustainable business focused on developer satisfaction.
I expect if Elizabeth Warren gets her way in crushing people who have a lot of wealth in stocks, they'll shift their money to collectibles. I.e. instead of investing in productive things like industry, they'll invest in useless things like art objects.
China, generally speaking, gives US companies full access to the Chinese market.

When that is not the case, it's usually in sectors where Chinese companies don't have full access to the Chinese market either. If Facebook or Google were Chinese companies but hosted the same content, do you think they'd be allowed inside the Great Firewall? Actually, we don't need to guess: when Qihoo 360 tried to provide censored access to Western social media, they were quickly shut down: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/10/12/chinese-app-that-let-users-a...

Western companies who don't operate in China aren't shut out because the government treats them differently. On the contrary, the government would treat them like Chinese companies, and some aren't willing to put up with that. Chinese companies don't get a choice.
When I was a student, one of the profs gave a talk on his work in atomic structure theory. I remember this only dimly, but the gist is that he showed slides with the first and second terms of the perturbation expansion. Then he showed a page of expressions generated by a computer algebra system. He said: "These are the third order diagrams. There are a few dozen more pages. The fourth order are unfathomable."

Of course that was many years ago, and maybe they're fathomable now. There may even be code for it.
Thanks! Certainly this shares space with n8n.io .

The reason for writing a new editor is to extend the things that can be build with the Scratch/Blockly one, like frontend interfaces or, in the future, streaming flows. There were also some recurring problems people found when building with Scratch that we can solve by having total control over the editor, like reacting to type mismatches. (Note, though, that Scratch also supports type checking)

I'm really interested on other viewpoints on visual programming, so for sure I'll send that email.
Back around 2006, I did a crash project on IBM 4690 OS. At some point I got into the included editor and by the second time I hit control-K, it all started coming back to me.

That project also had to use 16 bit small memory model which brought me back to the ancient Turbo Pascal / C days.
Same here. I can’t really tell if it’s bias because I am very comfortable with RPN, but another of the benefits of RPN is that it seems much easier to build up a complex computation on the fly without having to backtrack and add parentheses, which on most calculators means you have to start over. With an infix calculator, I have to plan the whole thing out precisely before I even begin entering it, whereas RPN feels like a “streaming” translation that is very easy.

Webdesign is no different to physical product design or architecture. These are difficult fields and very few get it right, like Dieter Rams. Design, as a subject,is actually so far from art,even though,as you mentioned, some try to mix them together for some 'cool' results that almost always end up being ridiculously inconvenient to use.
It doesn't matter in the aggregate if there is a self-hosting option if only the tech-savvy can use it.

There can be no honest absolute ranking of subjective artistic works. It's NY Review of Each Other's Books to lull oneself into ranking apples with oranges.
It's a normal argument for the time, but it is far from reasonable. The person who wrote the original response to me failed to respond to any of the logical arguments I was making, just spouted some outrage and moved on. So, normal yes, reasonable, no. The word "ban" in this context applies to legal or cultural actions where you make owning, acquiring, or reading a book disallowed. All that has been done is a company decided to stop selling it. You can still get the book elsewhere, still keep it if you own it, and still read it in any library that has it (which I'm sure many, many do). They are just spouting outraged nonsense.
Just store it at BNY Mellon and use a Visa card to transact haha.

The issue of course is the transaction rate is so low and the system so inefficient it cannot possibly meet its stated goal as a payments system without trusted, centralized networks layered on top. That layer meets none of the goals of the underlying meaning the underlying can simply be elided, and we’re right back where we started but without an Argentina of power wasted.
If you believe that most Chinese citizens are in support of their government then calling the government evil is an indirect attack on them. If you don’t believe the Chinese support their government then that’s an entirely different topic you may have to educate yourself on.
re the brailers: Those are close, but the one I was shown was smaller; truly pocket sized. This was ~20 years ago.

I doubt they are really sold anymore, because a small handheld tape recorder is easier for "notes" if you are blind.
But if 16 characters is already secure for the foreseeable future, why bother risking it for negligible gains in security?
I agree,l that it's never going to be as effective as something built from the ground up as a column store. But the performance and storage improvements can still be immense over standard Postgres. And if you're already using Postgres, it means one less service to configure and maintain, and means you can easily combine both standard relational data with columnar data. For a lot of folks, that a huge win.
The thing is those ivory tower conventions serve a purpose. They make it easier for others to evaluate (and credit!) your work.

Obviously some of these conventions might be pedantic, and criticizing an argument's form doesn't invalidate its essence, but I don't think it's a bad idea to insist on standards, even somewhat arbitrary ones. It seems like you're wishing for a world in which every citation is equivalent to "Anonymous 4chan User". I don't think that would improve things.
Did you reply to the wrong comment? Your comment has nothing to do with mine.

I don't really understand what the author did wrong, which I think is why the HN guidelines promote discussion over link dropping. I would benefit from knowing what you found objectionable. Tangentially, I also don't find much value in media bias info, since it doesn't tend to actually address the substance of any given article.
And liberty reserve!
This happened too many times in history to even name. I could sum some recent examples if you want. Do you want that?
I think you've just been lucky to not encounter it. It doesn't happen to everyone. It's not necessarily even very frequent. But it's much much more frequent than it should be. So consider yourself lucky that you've not been on the receiving end of it (yet). I felt much the same until the first time I witnessed stuff like this happening, and it was eye-opening. Just because it didn't happen to you (yet) doesn't mean it's not a thing. And it's not specific to North America or to computing.
> But as long as it continues to exist, some future civilization could figure out how to read the data again, eventually. Just like we eventually discovered how to read ancient languages that were once forgotten.

Eh, I think you're vastly underestimating how difficult that would be.

1. The media would have to last hundreds of years at least, when it's hoped modern archival media can last maybe fifty.

2. Even assuming the media did last, the new civilization would have to reverse engineer encoding on top of encoding on top of encoding (e.g. physical disk encoding, complex filesystems, file formats, character encodings). Our civilization already has trouble reading some old file formats, and our disks already have trouble reading their data (which is why they pack a ton of error correction information).

It took the Rosetta stone to figure out how to read encoding of Egyptian hieroglyphics, when that language was still alive in the form of Coptic.

3. Then you're dealing with the probability that the hard disks the future archeologists find will even have a Wikipedia dump on them. That probability will be very small, given very few people will download these dumps.
In 2008, the company who made banknote paper for Zimbabwe refused to deliver any more to try to slow down the worsening crisis.
This comment doesn't make much sense. LSP is just a protocol, implementing package detection is the responsibility of the language server.

The second thing you're asking about sounds more like a unified LSP client which is totally possible. It would actually be pretty easy. VSCode could actually improve this a lot since language clients are mostly boilerplate.

All that said I think you're undervaluing what LSP/DAP actually gets you. It's a language agnostic API for PL tools, which includes compilers and virtual machines. All you need to be able to do is parse JSON and you can begin writing a reactive compiler that integrates into any code editor.
That’s how CL works too, though.
As with all crypto projects fees are low and it’s fast because nobody uses it. It’s inefficiency kneecaps it at any volume.
I'm guessing the web site has telemetry and analytics and can show the conversion rate going down. If the web site sells something, you could even put a dollar amount on the damage.

I'm probably misunderstanding your argument here, but if, say, Google steals your bike that would be purely economic damage. Surely the UK legal system would still punish that...!?
This is gonna sound dumb, but I also wish there were a way to search by the prominent color of the site.

I don't know how else to explain it, but if I can't exactly remember the title, sometimes I remember roughly what it "looked" like. Completely subjective, impossible to implement in a way that would be useful, but that in addition to searching text as you suggested would go a long way toward finding something!
Isn't that about comments only?

Your point is much closer to the articles main question, which I understand to be "should you force yourself to read the classics" as opposed to "sould you consider reading classic literature".

Are there any phone companies that don't retain location data?
Git is too complicated. It's barely usable for daily tasks. Look at how many people have to Google for basic things like uncommitting a commit, or cleaning your local repo to mirror a remote one. Complexity is a liability. Mercurial has a nicer interface. And now I see the real simplicity of non-distributed source control systems. I have never actually needed to work in a distributed manner, just client-server. I have never sent a patch to another dev to patch into their local repo or whatnot. All this complexity seems like a solution chasing after a problem - at least for most developers. What works for Linux isn't necessary for most teams.
> Humans mess up mispainted lane lines also. Have seen many times where there were 2-3 conflicting lane lines painted and people just kinda drove where ever.

That's very true, I've seen it as well. I think the big difference is that humans have the context and experience to deal with those situations on the fly, making choices that a self driving systems just haven't matured enough to make; this is why I advocate for better alerting systems rather than anything that changes the trajectory of the car on its own.

I'm going through the book again and revisiting the lectures. I'd argue you only need the basics high school math covered (algebra, sets, functions) as well as knowing what vectors are (but you can always google that). The genius of the book can only be uncovered if you forget everything you know about programming and approach it with an open mind about what computation can be.
Ether fees are staggering now too, and Bitcoin cash fees are low because nobody uses it.

The reality is the inefficiency required to meet the decentralized trustless verifiable goals is so high it’s not possible to build a crypto payment network which actually handles more transactions than a midsized Costco.
I think you can argue the US government at least looks out for its own stakeholders, but one thing for sure is that the US government isn’t looking out for the interests of people of other countries. So when you stare wide-eyed wondering why some foreign nation doesn’t just do what the US says don’t be amazed.
I remember reading a blog post (if someone has the link, that would be much appreciated) of an Nvidia developer who was training a model to play Pac-Man a few months ago, and they simply told the AI to avoid death however possible. They let it run through a sizable amount of iterations with expectedly poor performance, but the model eventually "learned" that it could pause the game to avoid a failure condition. Since it was one of the most successful iterations around, the entire model eventually had to be re-trained without pausing enabled to force it to perform better.

I think the ultimate moral of this story is to be careful what you wish for. We should be excited at the opportunities that AI presents, but baby steps are important right now. As this article points out, even basic image classification can be fooled with nothing more than a pen and paper. It seems a little dangerous to be incorporating this into anything mission-critical, and I suspect we'll soon see a rise in "hacks" that involve exploiting bias in machine learning.
I feel like someone should teach a course on how to use the grouping of command line applications: convert (image magick), pdftk, pandoc, and ffmpeg.

Lots of power to be had in mastering them.
What people usually miss about these things is normal version control benefits hugely from content addressing and normal forms.

The salient aspect of relational data is that it's cyclic, this makes content addressing unable to provide normal forms on it's own (unless someone figures out how to Merkle cylic graphs!), but the normal form can still made other ways.

The first part is easier enough, store rows in some order.

The second part is more interesting: making the choice of surrogate keys not matter (quotienting it away). Sorting table rows containing surrogate keys depending on the sorting of table rows makes for some interesting bags of constraints, for which there may be more than one fixed point.

Example:

CREATE TABLE Foo (
a uuid PRIMARY KEY,
b text,
best_friend uuid REFERENCES Foo(b)
);

DB 0:

0 Alice 0

1 reclusive Alice, best friends with herself. Just fine.

0 Alice 1
1 Alice 1

2 reclusive Alices, both best friends with the second one. The alices are the same up to primary keys, but while primary keys are to be quotiented out, primary key equality isn't, so this is valid. And we have an asymmetry by which to sort.

0 Alice 1
1 Alice 0

2 reclusive Alices, each best friends with the other. The Alices are completely isomorphic, and one notion of normal forms would say this is exactly the same as DB 0: as if this is reclusive Alice in a fun house of mirrors.

All this is resolvable, but it's subtle. And there's no avoiding complexity. E.g. if one wants to cross reference two human data entries who each assigned their own surrogate IDs, this type of analysis must be done. Likewise when merging forks of a database.

I'd love be wrong, but I don't think any of the folks doing "git for data" are planning their technology with this level of mathematical rigor.
Seems like that's an ideal problem to solve using a blockchain/smart contracts (a distributed auction). If they can't verify these bids are real & will be paid out that seems like a complete failure of the technology.

Edit: their website doesn't go into detail much at all, so I don't have high hopes for this
If this book does what it claims to do, it should probably cost more (pls raise the price after I buy it). I strongly believe that inside ffmpeg may be the secret to the cosmos, the universe and life itself

There is a long history of progressive social movements we can look back on for evidence.

Humans, on the whole, succumb to pressure to conform. And rightly so, the alternative is antisocial; sociopathy.
How would Google know that a site is curling another site?

Why would they flag that as a phishing site?

I’m just having a difficult time determining how this situation is not the fault of the site/app; we don’t even know that any of this is true and it looks more scripted than an offended rant.
No .. The situation in academia is terrible and can be far worse than industry. In industry, h1bs and long term interns (a thing in Canada) also face some very real abuse .. but no where is it as prolonged as academia. It is a real shame. This is not just in the advisor advisee relationship .. but also when you submit papers to conferences and journals. As an insider to the reviewing process, I am often nauseated at the arbitrary and unfair nature of it all. I have seen attempts at fixing the reviewing system actually make it worse. Contract teaching and being a TA can also be horrible.

I want to say .. this is not a guarantee that you will be abused. There are many many excellent people (junior, senior, all around). You just need to protect yourself. If you spot abuse, speak up and be prepared to quit. Life is too short.

I don't consider myself particularly unreasonable, but I would argue that.

I see what you're getting at in that you seem to be focusing on the intent of the site owner, but I don't think that's a hair worth splitting. If you have poor security on your site such that you allow upload, and more importantly hosting and distribution of malware, you are now the owner of a malicious site.

Beauty yes. Culture however takes a civilization plus time, not the sole taste of some beholder.

Art is not just about satisfying our individual tastes.

>There can be no honest absolute ranking of subjective artistic works.

No, but there doesn't have to be. It's enough to classify them in different quality bins.
