I worked as a recording engineer for several years. The first studio I worked at, the B room had an SSL 6000 G Series and a Pro Tools 888 system hooked up to an Apple machine running OS9.

This was 2008, so already old back then, but with the way it was configured plus the 888 system, it was still valuable.

I have friends who work in water treatment infrastructure, and out of necessity carry laptops with VMs for DOS, windows 3.1, etc.

Even my AD/DA converter at home is no longer supported. I use a 2010 mac mini running OSX 10.11 with it.

As long as people are using older hardware that interfaces with a computer, older OSes and machines will be useful.
Don't try to do too much at once, you won't get anywhere. You probably got inspired by the recent growth of interest in BCIs, right? Please realize how complicated that subject is - it dwarfs AI and it's closest applications like self driving by one or two orders of magnitude, depending on who you talk to.

Assume that workable consumer BCIs will come within ~2 decades and focus on only a small part of it, that's the only way you can contribute meaningfully.

> I am almost certainly missing something important, but I don’t know what.

You will know once you start. Don't plan too much - pick a realistic goal and just start. Build a clock. Program a microcontroller. Log your heartbeat. Measure your brainwaves with OpenBCI. Build a feedback loop of some kind. Get a feeling for it.
How much time does this person have to devote to this?
That's legit!

Seriously.

We have a lot of angst online for failure to understand this distinction.

Take a basic scenario:

Good person gets called out for doing shitty things vs bad person getting called out doing shitty things.

What's the difference?

In terms of the shitty things? No difference at all. Doing shitty things is undesirable.

Where to go from there?

Personal judgement, and that's where the real personal attack actually is.

Frankly, failure to grok that diminishes the value of an actual personal attack while also at the same time marginalizing discussion on behavior that is or may not be shitty.

And here's a variation on that for you, just for shits and giggles:

You know, I've heard other people say you are a dick, but never believed it until now.

LOL

Where did I get that one?

My wife said it to a policeman who had just got done beating me up in my driveway because I would not allow access into my home without a warrant. Yes, I grinned. Got the message across without actually speaking to them as a person.

Truth is, their action did all the telling necessary.

One last variation on this:

Say we've got a racist handy and they do or say something basically racist.

We could declare, "you are a racist!" and render personal judgement and trigger a whole bunch of discussion that won't get anyone anywhere, but it may be gratifying.

Or, we could say, "that comes off as racist, are you sure you want to go there?" Or some variation on that.

The difference, while subtle, is in the former case we've made a personal judgement that is hard to get away from, or past.

The latter is speaking to behavior. People can make different choices later on, entertain advocacy, even ask for help having never been judged. Getting past that is an order easier.

...all of which is why people dislike personal attacks!

Who likes being judged? I don't.

And there we are back to this whole thing. Nobody judged anyone. They communicated how behavior comes off to others and that's it.

Since there was no judgement, no personal attack, all it really boils down to some feedback that the commenter can use to make different choices in the future, or not, no worries at all.

This meta discussion, is unfortunate, but worth it, if any passers by take away the difference.
Great suggestion.

Actually I think rpi clone can clone down to a smaller sd card

You could clone down to like a 4 gig SD card, and then back up that SD card.
Step 0: don't work somewhere with corporate spyware. I know, I know, but it's nice to dream.
Definitely agree. Also this idea that strategies are artificial is (with all due respect) total nonsense. Automatic strategies are strategies nonetheless.

It reminds me of the famous Hacker koan (delivered from memory here and hence butchered): When Sussman was a novice he was once coding up a neural net when Minsky walked up to him and asked him why he was randomizing the initial weights. When Sussman remarked that he didn't want the net to have any preconceived bias, Minsky reacted by closing his eyes. Sussman asked him why he was doing that, to which Minsky answered, "So that the room will be empty".

If there were one terrible thing that I would change about American culture, it is this notion that analysis and learning is somehow artificial as opposed to subconscious uncontrolled reaction to the environment.

It's the same source viewpoint that rejects things like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and that creates this idea that encountering uncomfortable ideas is instantaneously harmful (because your automatic responses are held as the prime understanding).
I used to use the keyboard a lot in Opera back in the day. Favorites included searching for links on the page by text and pressing enter to get there, and navigating back/forward using "link rel" tags in the documen (for example, you could go to the "next page" regardless of the browser history)

I seem to recall that web pages were steadily making it harder for it to work. E.g no "a href" or "link rel"s.

Here's hoping that Nyxt will have success in bringing this era back!
Reminds me of the cab in in The Fifth Element.
Again I have to disagree with your assessment of 365. We have over 35k of files and don't seem to have trouble managing them across hundreds of employees.

Of course we took the time to organize and manage permissions before hand.

And make sure that users are using the right products for the right purposes.

And I've experienced line locking in word, but zero delay, I don't know what sort of connection you have but in our daily use the updates are fast as chat.

All of our users are either win10 installs or via the web, are you using a Mac? because I know they are second class citizens on desktop software.

I'll grant you search on the desktop can be better, but via the web I find it to work fine.

I'll admit that there is a lot room for improvement around group calendars.

But other than that I don't see anything that Google is offer that is better for collaboration

Apparently Tesla would have to certify the Cybertruck "as a specialized armored vehicle" to meet German regulations.

Funnily enough, the concept that we've been shown also fails US regulations, although those are probably much easier to rectify for the final design.
I think a good part of the problem is Youtube has a lot of advertisers, and even with their popularity still a limited number of videos potential customers watch; so, they load up the ads on videos to get enough exposure for the advertisers to believe they get their money's worth.

Sounds like it has an RTO of “transit to and from mom/dad’s house” and a RPO of “however often I went to mom/dad’s house”

Those are above and beyond what I would personally need to avoid the threat of ransomware. If you need improvements, visit your family more often - win win :)
This reminds me of the book "The Subtle Art of Not Giving A Fuck" by Mark Manson. The distinction between behaviors and values is one of the central points that book conveys. Despite being quite introspective myself, I found a lot of inspiring new personal truths in what the author points out (and it was neither as gratuitously profane nor nearly as single-minded as the title might suggest).

The vehicle shell is sheets of structural steel. It’s not likely to deform usefully when it strikes a wayward meat sack. Combine that with the plethora of small-radius bends that can concentrate the damage quite effectively.

I’ve no doubt that Tesla can make it score well on crash tests though. Crumple zones don’t have to involve literal crumpling of a metal body—it could be achieved with other forms of deformation.
I think there are several factors that are causing this:

* Gender equality. Because more women are now financially independent, they don't have to marry and/or have children and choose career instead.

* Hypergamy. There are millions of high achieving single women in their 30s who struggle to find a partner while at the same time their fertility is falling.

* Divorce statistics. Divorce rate is high, most divorces are initiated by women and most men end up losing a lot, which causes more men to abstain from marriage and/or kids.

* Ever rising cost of life and standards. In UK for instance real estate prices are growing way out of proportion compared to income.
If it’s getting more common why isn’t societal attitudes and expectations adjusting with the times then? Surely the Japanese are aware of their backward work culture and inefficiency in the eyes of the rest of the world?

I agree that hentai manga can be very disgusting. Rape scenes involving children is a theme that is commonly available. Having set foot in a doujinshi shop in Akihabara ( down a random alley in the basement ), they are apparently also quite popular in Japan. The cover of many doujinshi ( of that variety ) are of undressed children in explicit poses. I would have snapped a photo of said shop if there weren't signs everywhere saying "no photos allowed", to show people just exactly how much this is a thing.

So long as the creators are sourcing their artistic style on imagination and/or non-sexual source art, I don't think there is any real harm being done, and therefore I personally believe such should still be legal. I do, though, question the purpose of it and agree that it is pretty disturbing content.

I disagree that you cannot become a twisted person by viewing sufficient twisted content. The perspective matters of course, but I could readily believe that an otherwise harmless pervert could become inclined to enacting harm against others after reading a sufficient amount of such content. The pervert has their fantasies enthralled, and thus begins to believe more-so that enacting things in the way described is acceptable.

In this way, I think the way the perverse content is depicted matters. If it is depicted in a way that makes it seem like wonderful fun to abuse others, then I agree it should become illegal. I also can't think of depictions that I would approve of myself and can only think of depictions less likely to encourage harm.

I agree with the idea that hentai manga provides an outlet for people who may enact their fantasies in reality if they did not have that outlet. The idea is that the hentai serves as a punching bag of sorts.

I could believe that some believe they can only be attracted to children and not to adults, but I don't think that justifies and means they have a right to view sexualized kids or art of it. I'd argue that such individuals are better off just enjoying normal manga and hentai instead of getting involved in hentai.

As I mentioned previously, I author erotica. One question I have asked myself many times is "Am I encouraging or causing others to engage in the fictional behavior I have imagined and written?" Having read the reviews of my writing by readers; I strongly believe the answer is "Yes. Whatever fictional content I create, should it be believable and seem sufficiently safe, will be enacted by readers as a result of learning about it."

The "readers should understand it is fiction and not enact the fantasy" excuse doesn't fly in my mind. Many readers will not understand that clearly, regardless of even being told to keep this in mind, and will still enact the fiction.
The Selfish Gene is a popular text by an academic articulating a very specific view of evolution, one that's caught on among a certain subculture but which isn't mainstream as far as I can tell.

Plenty of terms originally coined by academics lack broad academic or even intellectual credibility. I'd agree with the OP that the use of "Meme" is one. I'd also agree that this is because the term provides no clarity - ideas aren't like genes. Genes reproduce by a set mechanism, ideas can be stretched and modified any way you want. Genes are interpreted and realized by a fairly set mechanism. Ideas can be realized any old way. The "Meme" concept is one person's bad analogy imo.

> Even being well kept and dressing tidy is a strategy to signal you’re organized. Some people are naturally organized, and some people aren’t and have to consciously try to do it. I don’t see what difference it makes though.

The problem of course is when you're dressing tidy while being unorganized. In that case you're being artificial.
YMMV, but I tried to self-study out of "Art of Electronics" and I ended up giving up because I didn't feel like I was getting the fundamental basic circuit analysis skills that I needed to actually comprehend everything they were doing. The difficulty level ramped up very quickly, at least for me. I suspect that it might be better as a reference for a project than a self-study textbook.

I ended up reading through "Foundations of Analog and Digital Electronics" and was quite happy with it. Though I believe there are other textbooks that are more commonly used for learning basic circuit analysis.

And I am going through Oppenheim & Wilsky now and have no complaints. The last chapter is on linear feedback systems so you'll get a bit of the control theory background there.

Not sure what I want to read next... maybe digital signal processing or control theory. I have no real goal in mind here (outside of an interest in RF), just reading for fun.

Ask HN: Which phone do you use?
I have pixel 2 for a couple years which I bought in used condition. I had Nexus 5X before which embraced death by bootloop. Before that I had Motorola Moto X.

All of these have been comparatively 'pure' and powerful phones. Even my first smartphone Huawei Ideos U8150 (Android, Froyo), while being on the low end, it's OS and apps were optimized enough to perform on its fullest unlike many phones these days.

I am interested in knowing which phone (or what kind of phones) does HN prefer. May be I get an idea what to buy next.

Read "Bread, How Did They Make It?"[1] from the same blog and modern life sounds a hell of a lot better. Medieval peasants lived a very precarious existence. A bad harvest would be enough to push them over the brink into starvation.

I'll take the office job where there's a bigger danger of eating too much than too little and where the only way that I would notice a bad harvest is if I read an article in the financial news about how coffee prices are up 8%.

I now truly believe that you can not know if a trait is good or bad.

Based on your previous experiences, knowledge and views of the world you might view a trait as bad or good.

Look at the exact same trait 10 years for now and you might realize that now you view it as opposite.

For example the hustle mentality: you see someone who manages to work 12hours per day and be very productive and you might think WOW, that is a good trait, I want that. Then you might later realize that life is not all about working, and that having difference experiences and enjoying life might be a better trait.

It was an old pre-Windows joke saying, maybe appealing because it didn't seem totally outside the realm of possibility, given other things people saw and heard from MS.

Later variations on the theme came with early Windows, when MS's own application programs were said to get special development support and also undocumented APIs they could use. Supposedly, this gave MS's programs time-to-market, stability, and performance advantages on MS's platform, to unseat previous dominant apps like WordPerfect and Lotus 1-2-3.

Then there seemed to be a later phase of MS, when any kind of competition or partnership with them came with the explicit question of what your exit strategy was, when MS decided to either buy you or stab you in the back.

And lots of complaints from customers over the barrel.

That environment was great for adoption of Linux and for moving some kinds of things to the Web.

I think MS isn't currently one of our biggest problems.

Whether ruthless underhandedness is irrevocably in the DNA of the MS corporation, perhaps laying dormant until they reach a leverage threshold, or with much better public perception management for maneuverings now, I don't know. I certainly hope that they've mellowed out, and are just a typical large corporation.

Not to diss engineering people there. I don't suspect that engineering there was ever much in on any underhandedness in business dealings.
When I was younger, the first time I learned to ski, my cousin (who was teaching me) shoved me over before we hit the bunny slope and taught me how to get up.

I now apply this "What's the recovery from 95th percentile occurrence?" thinking to lots of new things.

Perhaps it should be culture in many departments to intentionally harm someone at small scale to insulate them from large scale. An inoculation of sorts.

I think if I have children, perhaps it will be worth having an intentional disk failure on some low cost thing to teach the importance of backups. Maybe have the hardware lose something like a save game in a game they've barely started. Hard not to make it some sort of pathological fear while still instilling the value.
Depends on the kid(s), age, progress so far etc i would think.
