It was the first assembler that I learned and thus have a big soft spot for it. But I never actually owned a 6502 based computer. My first machine was a Z80 based ZX Spectrum.

Personally I think the 6502/6522 architecture is about the most perfect entry point into learning low level coding and hardware interfacing

You joke, but fashion publications have been at the vanguard of a lot of this.

For example, during recent internal conflicts at the NYT (like the one that forced out Bari Weiss), it was the Style section where the staunchest supporters of one faction lived. It's obvious enough if you compare the Style section to other parts of the newspaper.

I believe there were some earlier squabbles at Teen Vogue as well.

The role of fashion publications is even reflected (knowingly, I assume) in phrases like "not a good look".
We are starting to reflect the way we have organised the world in technology. Everything about life used to be fuzzy but now it's hard lines and definitions. It's going to do strange things to human culture.
Did you get any bounty?
Sure, you could purchase your own drives. But then it wouldn’t be offsite. And it probably wouldn’t be on a redundant internet connection. And most likely not have redundant power and cooling. And, and, and.

Self-hosting at home (or in the office) is a great option for some if you’re not worried about needing an offsite backup. For those that do care about this sort of thing, though, the extra you pay to have someone else manage the thing is well worth it.
I'm African American & had the same reaction.

At the time, the master->main switch felt completely pointless.

But I came to appreciate the courage needed to actually commit. It's a signal that people do care.

Issue is, most folk have no idea on how to meaningfully contribute towards a lack of representation.
That's rude. It's a valid perspective. I dumped thousands of dollars in arcade games in the 70's and 80's and spent at least as much buying tshirts and toys and pizza or walking down to the theater and watching a movie.
Seriously?

Interesting!

Did you learn why?
Yeah, but rural PNW is mountainous valleys. Lots of geographic separation from population centers in terms of tree farming areas. If it’s some sort of “runoff” from logging, unless it hits the water table (water tends to come from wells, not lakes/rivers) it’s unlikely to be easily exposed in the populace.
Thank you for this, it’s a wonderful thing and I likely never would have found it without your link.
My sister and I are planning a road trip, the only thing it needs is a theme. Surely we can find one in the guides.
This is why Rust makes you explicitly implement a trait for a given type, even if the type doesn't require any new methods to be implemented
Some people prefer not to commingle the functional, lambda-calculus part of a language with the parts that do side effects. It seems they believe in the separation of Church and state. --Guy Steele
> but this is a pathetic piece of pandering

The site is "goodnewsnetwork.org".. This is consensual pandering.
In Rust, you don't need to do this. If you want a blocking version of a non-blocking function, you spin on poll. Several async libraries ship a block_on function that does just that. If you can't do that, but don't want to bring in a proper big-boy executor; you can spin off another thread, have it block, and join it when it's done. (or use something like crossbeam's scoped threads)

Colored functions are a problem in JavaScript because it has to share an event loop with the rest of the browser. For Node.js and Python, that is less of an issue, but those languages are also either practically or actually single-threaded, which also means async behavior is contagious. Rust does not have this problem, at least not until you're writing WASM programs with it (in which case, you're restricted to sharing one thread with the rest of the browser again).
I really really hope this never ever happens. Tokio is great and all, but enshrining it as the default would have a stifling effect and impose a lot of design decisions all over the place.

I do hope that it becomes more possible to write async code that is portable between executors. If there were more standard traits around the most common elements of an executor it'd make things a lot better imo.
Have you been converted to the cult of tubeless tires? They truly are remarkable. I ride on sharp limestone and thru hedgeapple rows, and the fact these things hold any sort of air after a ride is truly amazing. I was so mesmerized by the performance on my mountain bike, my 'city' bike now sports tubeless rims and tires. I haven't had a flat yet! (knock on wood, headed to Bentonville next weekend).

To me, this problem is mostly 'solved' unless there's a generation leap in weight savings. My tires weigh .65kg each (and thats light for MTB)! That's a lot of rotating mass that's also unsprung on the suspension.
As I understand, that already exists today, and you can claim that you own a piece of content through the content ID system, by disputing the match.

The problem is that most people uploading content do not have legal council helping them with this, so they:

1. don’t know that they can/should dispute

2. are afraid of escalating the situation to court

3. ignore it because legalese is scary/uninteresting and they don’t care about filling out forms over it and just want to upload their dank memes
I was just lamenting the state of these forms today. I feel like many of the questions are variations on the theme of “what antivirus software do you use to protect your basement mainframe from your corporate network traffic?”
“N/A” isn’t a long enough answer, so it feels like you need to keep explaining “the Internet”, LLC of a centralized corporate network, SaaS, etc.

Is there a modern, no-nonsense guide to filling these out honestly without telling the person doing the checkbox checking that their form is dumb?

I realize there’s a lot of rent seeking and money to be made by consultants in this space - I’m looking for the GitHub published guide or wiki to help smaller no-nonsense shops navigate the phrasing and map these vendor security questionnaires to “modern” technology.
The most common on premises vulnerabilities and misconfigurations
I don't disagree with your statement but I think we should be specific in describing this as a CCP tactic. The people and their government are not one and the same or always of a like mind.
Rust will be relegated to drivers for the foreseeable future, and so they won't be affected, given that new drivers wouldn't be written in Rust for platforms that don't support Rust.

In the future, who knows. Some folks are working on a GCC Rust implementation, that may be the path forward, or more LLVM backends may happen... only time will tell.
Appeal to authority fallacy
I find reading old news articles quite enjoyable. It is fun to look back at points in time and see how people viewed a situation in that moment. In this case, the doctors who were interviewed.

I found it fascinating scientists were already making the connections to immune system problems, which, in fact, turned out to be a hallmark of the disease. They were on the right track, and yet given how far buried that detail was in this story, you get the sense it wasn’t the flashing red light we know it to be.
> The only relevant thing I can eke out is that they both went to the same event a week or so ago and probably shared a Wifi AP, where a "leak" could've happened. Or maybe a hash collision in FB's side?

Given two users in extremely close geographic proximity, the chances of them having manually logged in on the device themselves with your housemate either forgetting or not knowing are much much higher than the chances of an authentication exploit in the world's most popular site that would have gone undiscovered for a subsequent five years at this point.

Probably somewhere between the two (but closer to the "they just logged in on that computer" side of things) is the chance of the LAN being some eldritch abomination that just occasionally serves responses to the wrong local IPs, but that's not something any online service needs to care about.

When other people say someone can’t do something because of their skin color, that is racism. The idea that whites are more racist than other races is also racist. It’s an idea not based on facts but on feelings.
And most importantly, was contagious before the beginning of the symptoms, which always included fever so it was pretty easy to scan people with thermometer to catch the contagious ones.

> And the fact that SARS was only contagious several days after the beginning of the symptoms is the reason why we have been able to control it […] and had contagiousness begun far earlier after the beginning of the symptoms or even before them like for the flu, the outbreak would have exploded and we wouldn't have been able to halt it.

It would be super cool if they did more work to prevent brute force account takeovers.
Our local mall went through a period of decline, as old stalwarts like Sears, Montgomery Ward, and JC Penny went out of business or left. But then it got renovated, new stores moved in, and it's as busy as ever. I think it just took a different selection of stores to attract customers back. And the redesign made space for a number of medium-size anchor stores like REI who have doors facing out rather than into the mall itself.
I feel like changing an array to a linked list couldn't be that hard, but I don't know the particular complications.
Nine Questions to Ask Before Selecting a Data Annotation Company
Perhaps the company was debt-loaded so it would fail and be liquidated. The (complicit) lenders collected lots of interest payments, and the parent company gets the proceeds from the asset sales, along with a nice tax write-off because of the "loss".
The world isn't always black and white though, thus things like this. ;)
My son is 22 months old and is in an extremely serious relationship with our Roomba. His entire day revolves around when she gets to eat food (that is, sucking in dirt around the house), and when she goes to sleep. So much so that when he once fell and got hurt, the first 'person' he called out was Roomba.

It's fascinating how different they view things compared to us.
I think you're onto something here, as far as that being one, first major impetus that got taken away. Surely people went to toy stores etc, some of them in malls, to buy Nintendo games, and then bought something else while in there. So I wouldn't call that the destruction per se, but I see where you're coming from.
Er? No, the point is that threads are what you want for cpu-bound tasks. Async does not deal well with long running cpu intensive jobs that hog the cpu without yield points.
I know right? "Good News Network"... If you don't want fluff pieces pandering to an audience looking for GOOD NEWS then I don't know what to say. Certainly going to roll my eyes if you are using these articles as a vehicle to drive hot takes across enemy lines in your own personal war against pop-culture.
I think the best hope is to cast a wide net, and hope that you can find sources that have complementary biases. You shouldn't avoid the mainstream US media, but you should be aware that many apparently independent sources share similar blindspots and prejudices. Within the US, I think a lot of the better writers are now working freelance and publishing on Substack: Glenn Greenwald, Matt Yglesias, and Bari Weiss come to mind. Outside the US, the Canadian, Australian, and British press sometimes have a different slant. Aljazeera often does investigative journalism with a different perspective. I haven't found any great single source in English, and don't read any other languages well enough to rely on them.
Maybe. I guess you could argue that before you find product market fit and your survivability is at stake, its better to be as ruthless as possible and cut down on any infra costs.

All startups are not the same though. If the startup has obtained any kind of reasonable Series A, it totally makes sense to invest in kubernetes, and allow your engineering team to essentially pull in literally any kind of dependency, test it quickly, and find out if it works or not. It acts as a catalyst that would let you churn out new products really quickly, and as such its an invaluable tool to allow your startup to move quickly.

If you work in enterprise environments and are able to use kubernetes, you are set to really shock your organization with how quickly you can move. I've seen this same situation play out in a few orgs and its really amusing how stupidly productive it allows engineers who learn it to be, and how quickly they get things done and get more responsibilities, promotions etc.
There's something wrong with "we need to be able to remotely update the ROMs to protect the ROMs from remote updates."

> trained operator

I'm not sure that flipping an "enable updates" switch requires training.

> reinfected five minutes after they reboot

Scenario A: malware installs itself in device ROM. You remove malware, the ROM code reinfects the system. You have no idea if the device is compromised or not. Your only choice is to buy all new components.

Scenario B: malware keeps reinfecting system 5 minutes after reboot. You remove the malware. Reboot. Your system is clean.

I choose (B).
How do you stay grounded when writing software no one wants?
My current employer creates software that helps large communications companies comply with government regulations. While we technically have "users", we almost never think about them - not because we don't care, but because they simply aren't relevant to our bottom line. If we make something that's clunky and hard to use, it doesn't really matter. As long as we get it done on time and at a lower price than our competitors, we're golden. It may be an oversimplification to say that no one wants our software, but I can guarantee you that if a handful of laws were repealed tomorrow, we wouldn't have a single client. They may need what we make, but they certainly don't want it.

I find myself writing open-source software just to feel the rush of making something cool that people actually find useful. Few things feel better than making software people like. The obvious solution here is to find a new job, but for now, this is where I'm at. I assume I'm not the only one in this situation.

All you user-centered engineers out there: what do you do to keep yourself grounded when writing software that nobody really wants?
Crabout is pretty bad with this logic technology, especially in the burnout and the fan-out varieties.
Wow. Reminds me of those go projects that use templated code with Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics to work around the lack of generics.
For brainstorming, nothing beats a big ol’ whiteboard for me. Why are there walls that aren’t whiteboards? Such a waste
Well, 'Animats expresses a desire in another comment for functions not to go off and spawn a new thread.

I do somewhat agree with that desire - I don't think that this is a problem for performance, but since most of my use of Rust is dropping it into existing C code, I think that spawning a thread is likely to have annoying visible side effects on the calling code, which might not be expecting me to do that.

Using a proper, single-threaded executor and running it on the current thread seems like it would work, yes. (To be fair, I also feel like just having the sync version of a Python API call "trio.run(self.equivalent_async_api)" would probably also work, and I don't totally follow why that's insufficient....)
That reminds me of the old CSI episodes where they'd have grainy footage from a CCTV running around SIF/240p, and the lead investigator would say "Enhance... Enhance... Enhance... There!" And the face of the killer would be clear as day from inside a moving car a block away.

It's been years since emacs has crashed on me, very rare.
There's nothing wrong with getting 8 hours of sleep / night! I'm not 40 yet but I learned early on that I need sleep or I can't function. The actual time of day shifts around over the years, but getting 8 hours is important for me.
So many comments in this thread seem to conflate Open Source definition with the original Free Software definition.

The companies who have restrictions on how their Open Source software can be used can technically be Open Source (depending on your definition) while failing to be Free Software.

The two links clarify that originally at least, they were not the same thing.

This has been going on for a long time and hence as with many language phrases the use/connotation/definition may change over time.

And so we have a HN comment fest over "What Really Is The Definition of Open Source?".
even 1 hr of productive, quiet concentration is better than 2 or 3 hrs of interrupted time. By interrupted time, i mean time that you _could_ be interrupted, not that you were interrupted.
Interesting, Siri passes the Turing test with a 5 year old. Siri would probably also pass the test with a lot of adults were it not for the fact that we know it is not a real person, at least the first couple of minutes.

Consider an immutable list and a read-only view of a mutable list (that another thread may mutate concurrently). They offer exactly the same API, but it's a major mistake to pass one where the other was expected.
My experience suggests you may be on to something. I have a Echo and a two year old, I have it use the "Computer" wake word. Last weekend she pointed at the Echo then my desktop and proclaimed "Computer. Computer!" I told her she was right, they are the same sort of thing and we walked around the house pointing out the other things that are computers, like her moms phone, Nintendo Switch and Nvidia Shield. She seems pretty clear that they aren't living things and just machines like the car or a fridge.
I’ve been having these weird crossover dreams where I’m in this stressful dialogue with myself about some personal problem in my life — but the dream’s visuals are all just code in an IDE window and I’m desperately debugging it to fix the personal problem. It’s pretty crazy.
Incorporating some of what u/aksss stated, don't let them freely and peacefully hang out there or it will be a habit and be harder to stop. They will understand at some point.

Always be calm and gentle, while also very firm and clear, when you correct their undesired activity. If you get mad, they will instinctively get scared for their life that the 15x heavier giant will lose control of themself in anger, and kill them. You know you won't hurt them, but they don't know that - in the animal world, animals get killed suddenly by larger animals out of sharp anger. Plus, when you need to discipline them in the future, they won't run away and make it way harder to correct their behavior.

Some behaviors, the only way is prevention. I still can't stop the cats from sometimes running into unwanted areas of the house, so most of the time I must block them. When they get past, I just let them check out the area for a bit then they eventually let me nicely pick them up and move them to the proper area. Perhaps a more firm owner could employ a better strategy, but this is much better than before. Before, they would escape into the house for 10+ minutes while I got very frustrated at them, they were scared to let me pick them up, and it was just an all around bad experience. Now, they know that when I pick them up, I'm petting them and it can even be a small bonding experience.

On another note, the cat's behavior (meowing in your case) may be due to a different underlying need. One big thing I can think of is, is it bored? We humans spend a lot of time entertaining ourselves, cats have the same needs too. I try to have one 30m session of exciting cat wand play a week at the very least. Indoor cats might be better with a little more. Hunting is so, so fulfilling for these animals, if you look at how specialized they are at hunting, you could imagine how strong their desire to hunt is. So just a small session occasionally would do wonders for their happiness and contentment, and also their love for you that you would fulfill this need for them.

If you know that you have sufficiently provided for and can rule out hunger, thirst, need to pee/poop, boredom, pain, then you at least know that their fundamentals are covered. From there, you can determine if it's something else that's important, or if their behavior is actually frivolous.
Your vagueness makes this society sound really ominous. What society are you talking about?

In the modern world, deadliness decreases transmissibility (Re, not R0), because people make organized efforts to contain deadly diseases.

Covid's death rate was low enough that a good fraction of people thought we should just take it on the chin.

By contrast, Smallpox was eradicated because it was so deadly, meaning we pushed its Re below 1.
Thats true for the most of us. I like your point.

President of Tanzania John Magufuli dies at the age of 61
It's a problem if your function to query a database or whatever instantiates a bunch of futures and yields between them when you're just going to block. Given that Rust is designed for environments that are so limited that they can't afford garbage collection, that stuff is proportionately pretty costly.
I know I'm in the minority but I just don't care for python for sysadmin / devops type tasks. It fails in weird ways on file and directory manipulations and I just don't find it's stack traces very informative. A lot of scripts seem to be a bunch of system () calls strung together, how is that better than well written Shell code?

What I love python for is scraping web pages and dealing with JSON or xml it rocks for that.
> isn't the network I/O going to outweigh the benefits of remote CPU cycles?

Not if:

a) your network B/W is higher than your local disks (not as unusual as you might think, spinning medium is awful slow)

b) the app you're using chunks up data in a reasonably efficient manner so as to not get bitten by latency issues (ffmpeg encoding likely meets that bar).

Which is why recent language design has converged on sound typing augmented by powerful type inference, so that you can use the same language at any scale. I've worked on ten-line database migration scripts and million-line applications in the same Scala.
