They do spend time there, it's one of the only places that i know where FIRE enthousiasts hang out regularely.

I'm creating something to track your net worth so you can map out your road to FI. I'd appreciate any feedback if possible: https://roadto.fi
I don't understand your type of comment. If people involved with a project decide to advertise it on HN, specially following questionable clickbait methods, is it reasonable to demand that all posts must be exclusively comprised of high praises and compliments?
My product is in the FIRE movement: tracking your net worth and figuring out how to get there.
It's a simple webapp at the moment that tracks your investments and helps you guesstimate how much you need to save every month to achieve your goal.
I'd appreciate any feedback about it! https://roadto.fi
They're completely different products with completely different goals.
I feel like it's a different measure than the proposed one, though.
Whatever you think about banning Trump by Facebook, this is fully consistent with their position. If they allowed other accounts to share what Trump says they can easily become a proxy.
Because the old and recent RMS attacks violate this. And could possibly lead to expulsion.
> That doesn't seem fundamental, though. You could have a series of relays that catch the beam, convert it to energy, and re-beam it out.

That's a lot of hardware to send out, though. With a dedicated relay you could afford very large collecting surfaces, to compensate a bit for the conversion/retransmission efficiency loss, but there's a bigger problem: you can't just put a chain of relays on a line inside a planetary system. You have to put them in orbit of the Sun (even if by proxy of an orbit around a planet/moon). This means your initial line of relays will quickly drift out of alignment, making the path through them much longer than beaming straight at a ship that's transferring between planets or out of the system. You'd have to put rings of relays at various heights above the sun to guarantee a reasonably short path, and that would take a lot of relays. And work only for a single plane - if you want relayed power at arbitrary plane, you'd have to build shells of relays - so the amount of satellites you need to deploy just squared.
There are introverts who value a dose of in-person interactivity. Some find the structure of the work schedule useful in ensuring a degree of socialisation. My question was more around whether the workplace can function better for both introverts and extroverts. There are several comments in this thread that suggest entirely remote work has issues, and hybrid models might favour the extroverts (although one interesting comment suggests they'd experience an increase communications burden, repeating messages in-person and in chat). Personally I would not want a 100% in-person workplace. How do we resolve the issues that come with, let's say, hybrid working?

The kernel can literally see everything. No amount of good faith efforts can ever please anyone in that case.
I use the vi mode for tmux and my shell (zsh).
I configured tmux and neovim to copy into the system clipboard (not for the shell, I did not search to be honest)

Thus to copy I use the y (yield) key, with optional selection keys like iw (in word), t<char> (to <char> included), f<char>( to <char> not included), etc.

But my mouse selection copy works differently between vim and tmux. In vim, when I select text with the mouse I have to press y to copy it. In tmux it is copied without pressing any key. So there is improvement here because often the paste fails after selecting text in vim because I forgot to press the y key.

tmux is what made drop tiling window managers after I realized I was only using tiling in a terminal. (I use Gnome on Linux.)
What we need is a movement towards saving and publishing the the actual data as close to the hardware as possible. But I'm sure medical hardware is full of quirky, proprietary Windows CE junk that makes this almost impossible.

It's always easy to blame proprietary junk. But in this case, from the couple of things I know about it, I don't think the real problem in publishing actual data is that it's proprietary. Rather that doing something with that data is very hard. To the point that if you don't know how to build an MRI scanner, you probably also don't know how to transform the raw data into a usable and correct image.
Elaborate please.

I have Javascript off by default and only turn it on (using NoScript extension) whenever it's actually needed.

Most pages load just fine without and with those that don't it's a 50/50 between me enabling JS for it or deciding I didn't wanna view the content anyways and closing the tab.

As someone else mentioned it's not to deprive myself of functionality, but to deprive the vultures (trackers and other shady stuff) of it.
> First, the original SCO v IBM case was never completely resolved. It's still, 18 years after filing, still theoretically alive.

Unless I’m misreading the history, not as would matter for res judicata; SCOs case was ultimately dismissed with prejudice, which would prevent refiling the claims (only a dismissal without prejudice would not have that effect.) There seems to be some aspect of an appeal still active, but until and unless that reversed the dismissal with prejudice and resulted in a dismissal without prejudice, the same claims couldn’t be made by SCO in another case.

> Second, Xinuos isn't SCO. Xinuos is the outfit that bought SCO's remaining assets when they declared bankruptcy

Xinuous’s basis for a claim is purchase of the underlying rights on which the action is taken from SCO, as such, they are in privity with SCO and would generally be bound by res judicata the same as SCO would be; res judicata doesn’t require identical parties, but includes various relationships where parties are asserting the same legal rights (not separate rights of the same character), such as agent-principal, other control relations relevant to the first litigation, and—relevant here—where one party’s claim arises because it is the successor to the interests asserted in the earlier suit.

Of course, res judicata doesn’t stop you from filing a suit, its just grounds for the other party to love to have it dismissed. And if Xinuous has even half-competent counsel, they arr aware of the previous case and have an argument ready as how this involves interests that weren’t litigated in that case, but that they have an argument doesn’t mean its going to be a successful one.
Undoubtedly a better deal for many, but that doesn't mean the actual costs for a patch for a popular app can't amount to $40k or more.
Wow, that's probably about the same ram & cpu as my desktop 16 years ago.
(where/how) can I see the actual patch set, not only summary of modified files?

I have not worked with cvs, so it's non trivial to figure out.
Also rail transport. It's much more complex politically and bureaucratically though. Would be a lot faster than a ship, though more expensive.
Napkin math (possibly with gross errors, and doing stats, so making the math rigid cannot lead to rigorous proof):

A prime with N digits has 9N ‘neighbors’.

There are about 10^N/ln(10^N) - 10^(N-1)/ln(10^(N-1)) primes with N digits, so the probability of a N-digit number being prime is about 1/ln(10^N), of it not being prime 1-1/ln(10^N).

So, the question is about the behavior of (1-1/ln(10^N))^9N as N ⇒ ∞. Google gives me a plot that’s essentially zero, so yes, most primes should be digitally delicate.

Then, all we have is a 'not true communist scotsman' spiral all the way down.

If a country directed by a party named the Communist party is not communist, who could claim that tag for themselves?

Not North Korea. A country frozen in time and obsessed by xenophobic purity, dictator worship, army and control of the citizens. This is the very own definition of dystopic fascism, bordering isolated religious cult. Definitely not communism, that always was a mixed bag of anarchists, misfits craving power and other undercurrents moving in similar directions before turning ameboid and splitting again or eating alive the other groups.

Russia? is very "capitalism of the mob" now. As US, is just too big to define it, but it definitely has components of Neofeudalism and tug dictatorship IMHO with several thin layers of shiny democracy put strategically over it to cover the ugly rust. Communism has influenced the society, but is a thing of the past now (probably, I could be wrong).

"a Martian colony would still need to care significantly about the seasons and time of day"

Sure, in most if not all of the places future humans may come to inhabit, the celestial bodies will obviously have a strong influence on their lives and so they'll have to care. But, as I see it, this is more like marking events in a tool-tracked independent time system instead of having the time system devised around what's happening with celestial bodies around them because they can't do any better.
I love how explicit some written languages seem to be. It sounds great to be able to reliably pronounce any word perfectly. I suppose it's a trade off of complexity though. Learning these more explicit languages seems really daunting. Maybe it's just bias?
There is no such thing as an exported or non-exported environment variable. In fact, as the kernel is concerned, there is no such thing as an environment _variable_ at all, just a block of data.

See execve(2):

"envp is an array of pointers to strings, conventionally of the form key=value, which are passed as the environment of the new program. The envp array must be terminated by a NULL pointer."

You can confirm this my examining the the environment block that was passed in to your current shell with:

< /proc/$$/environ tr '\0' '\n'

What you're referring to are actually "shell parameters", some of which may be marked for export. When the shell starts up, it parses the environment block and sets parameters based on what it finds, marking them all for export. And the shell uses only the parameters marked for export when constructing the environment block for a child process (which is passed to execve(2)/execveat(2) in the envp argument).
They likely all have some kind of debug tools but I'm assuming its all super locked down to consumers.
Why Do I Exist?
A world in which Elon Musk exists doesn't need me in it.

He's doing most of what I have been wanting to do (cheap access to space, resilient internet and power grid, making stuff in the USA, green tech, autonomous vehicles; you probably know me and my work, no need to relist it) but he has been doing it better than I have.

On top of that, he has been doing it more efficiently than I have from a financial perspective, meaning that my own efforts' opportunity costs and benefits balance out to a net negative.

Therefore, the most rational thing for me to do is to give him all my money and intellectual property, and then go away.

Do I have the fortitude?

I've spent weeks arranging a small apartment for two homeless people, they move in on the 8th and are in a motel for a few days to clean up and so on. I funded it with meme stocks, and it cost me time. It dawned on me that an Elon Musk or even a Mitch McConnell could have dealt with it with one phone call. What's the use of me?

https://www.smbc-comics.com/comics/20140927.png This was me 2 months ago. I made a bunch of PPE last year, at my expense. My dad got a civic award for it. Again, all my efforts could've been replaced by one phone call from someone younger and richer.

What's the point of me? I am not suicidal, but is it not my professional duty to make room for those who can do things so much more efficiently than I?

Skyrim had that thing where every cave you go into there is a generic story told inside by a letter on a dead body. The world was full, but it was filled with generic stuff like that, utterly uninteresting after you realize what's going on. The main story was not strong and the balance with the only storywise mighty dragons that were ingame quite weak was completely off. Auto-leveling of quest items made quest rewards worthless.

Oblivion was unplayable because of the extreme auto-leveling, if you weren't extremely lucky with how you played it or fixed it with a mod.

Morrowind had none of those flaws. There was auto-leveling (mainly leveled lists with a small range, iirc), but the effect was small and felt organic. And the world is less filled with generic bs, no shoved in story told in every cave. The lore presented and the atmosphere was awesome, with the local gods and their path to power, the nerevarine part of it and the diverging perspectives (though a modern game might have used that for a non-linear story, which MW completely failed to do).

I also got the impression that the stories written in the ingame books were a lot more interesting in Morrowind. In the later games that got too boring fast, in Morrowind I actually read most of them. Might have been me becoming less patient over time, but I read somewhere the authors changed, so not impossible my impression is valid.

Graphics are obviously worse, Quests can be a bit off - especially the guild quests. Not only are they strange in what they ask from you, breaking immersion; Like in Oblivion and Skyrim following those quest lines and becoming a guild leader does not amount to much. Only do one, then it's okay. Some game mechanic can be broken rather easily, but if you don't search for ways on Youtube I doubt that's an issue when just playing - but Oblivion and Skyrim are a bit more stable there.

I liked Morrowind best, but it was also the first I played and the one I wrote simple mods for.

I use JOE in its "emacs-ish keybindings" mode (which you get if you run it as 'jmacs') for small "just run an editor in a terminal to edit this config file" jobs. I wanted an editor which was fast to start up, terminal-based, and emacs-like, and this was the one I found 20 years ago. It's always been reliable and it's always been available as a Debian package, so I've never felt a need to look for something else.

For long running edit sessions I use real emacs; I know you can set that up in a client-server arrangement to avoid the startup speed problem, but I never had the effort to investigate that; besides, sometimes you want to edit a file as root, who won't have a long-running emacs.

Completely agree. I love these tools, but the usability (and defaults) are awful

Not to mention they all seem to come from an "old unix" perspective, with weird combinations and few use of bound combinations

Hence why I prefer keeping my terminal tabs not on tmux but on iTerm (or your favourite terminal emulator - except for the Gnome one)

Don‘t get me wrong, I don‘t want to criticize you. I love a good piece of open-source software and I absolutley love doing something for fun just because I can (and not because there‘s a need/market for it). One can learn something at all times.

However, Matomo has quite „ok“ server requirements when tracking ~100 million page views per month [1] - and it’s in PHP... Go will most definetly still perform better. And maybe it just felt like it, but I think there‘s just the other week a bunch of tools doing web analytics shown here. So my first thought was „and another?“.

So I hope you‘ll get something of it and you gain some momentun, competition is always good!

> the default should basically be a smart version of BigInteger that maybe the JVM and/or compiler could guesstimate the size of or optimize while running.

I suspect this would be disastrous for performance. I believe Haskell uses a similar approach though.

Sometimes you want to store 20 million very small values in an array. Forcing use of bigint would preclude doing this efficiently (in the absence of very smart compiler optimisations that is).

As int_19h points out, the Ada approach lets us escape the low-level world of int8/int16/int32/int64 while retaining efficiency and portability and avoiding use of bigint.

> there should be a handful of numeric types that are strict in behavior and do not willy-nilly cast back and forth

I agree that reducing the number of implicit conversions allowed in a language is generally a good move. Preventing bugs is typically far more valuable than improving writeability. This is another thing Ada gets right.

The lack of a preview and wasted credits on mistakes is something I'd like to improve in the medium term. The way it is now, content is completely separated from presentation, and I consider that a defining feature of the product. Of course, producing each document costs essentially nothing, and the lack of a preview may be very frustrating, so perhaps meeting somewhere in the middle in terms of a preview may be the way to go.

I think this obsession with money laundering is kind of absurd. Firstly the entire point of these technologies is it’s a permanent record so authorities could track you down any time. Secondly they’re grabbing tonnes of headlines which is the opposite of what money launderers want. Thirdly there are already plenty of ways to launder money.

The truth is it’s much more likely the frothy Bitcoin market is overflowing into other similar products - almost all the most recent news making headlines have been about transactions amongst people who gained all their wealth through Bitcoin in the first place. It’ll go to 0 next time Bitcoin does, and whilst Bitcoin will probably bounce back, lots of these new shitcoin alternatives won’t.
