I have lots of ideas.

But we have 55 years of experience with the advantages and disadvantages of the ADM3A, VT100, and similar terminals, and we've gradually improved it over that time. Now it's ten thousand times faster than a physical VT100, supports 24-bit color, auto-highlights URLs, has enormous scrollback, supports copy and paste, allows applications to handle mouse events, can be recorded with script or ttyrec or asciinema, can be detached and reattached later with screen or tmux or mosh, can get local echo with mosh, can share a screen and keyboard between people in different locations with screen or tmux, and has hundreds of thousands of programs already written for it — aside from backward-compatibility with teletype software like ex, ls, sh, grep, ps, ping, vmstat, and so on, you have user interfaces designed for character-cell terminals like Emacs, Vim, links, mtr, dstat, top, htop, dialog/whiptail, less, mutt, irssi, ircII, weechat, nethack, sl, robotfindskitten, command-line editing in things like tcsh and bash, progress bars in things like apt, nano, and of course the aa demo bb (if run with env -u DISPLAY).

There are a lot of things that can't really be done without breaking compatibility with that ecosystem. Proportional fonts of continuously varying sizes, or padding? Now screen positions are no longer integer multiples of a character size, and you can't get things to vertically align by inserting space characters. (This is already a problem with Unicode, where different monospace fonts are monospace over different amounts of the character set; see http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/randomlayout.py for some attempts to test the limits.) Pixel graphics? Are those going to pass through tmux unharmed? (Some recent attempts to jimmy pixel graphics into terminals won't even work over ssh.) How will copy and paste work with them? Will they send another megabyte over my cellphone connection every time I press ^L to redraw the screen?

We can definitely do better. But doing better is going to require a lot of experimentation to be a Pareto improvement over 55 years of tweaks to the VT100. Most of the ideas we come up with are going to turn out not to work as well in practice as we hoped they would in theory.

But if you're interested in reading them anyway, some of my notes are in https://dercuano.github.io/topics/terminals.html.
Wait until you see how much she got paid to build a few miles of railroad.
Yes, it is. Psychotic disorders aren't pretty and they're often permanent. They can go into remission, though.
That's not exactly true because interconnection capacity is very limited. That's why quebec has rock bottom prices for electricity[1] but 250mi away in boston the electricity cost several times more.

Maybe at the hobby level that thinking works. At scale, though, it does not unless you're building a renewable power plant where it simply can't connect to the grid.

If you can get on the grid, then the power your plant produces and what you do with it are two separate things. Instead of e.g. mining crypto, you could sell the power generated. By using it instead of selling it, you're just pushing other users to use more fossil fuels.

The calculus IMO is power consumption * grid-wide average CO2 emissions. You can't just count using solar as 0 emissions, because using solar doesn't bring that average to 0. It reduces it slightly.
> OK, but you can make the same argument for COVID. It seems to me that the slides are at least comparing apples with apples.

If you look at the rates of acute side effects to the vaccines, I forget the exact number but it's at least like 80%. It's insanely high. SARS-2 absolutely does not produce that given the massive proportion of asymptomatic individuals and significant amount of paucisymptomatic individuals
is there a chapter on copy & paste from stack overflow in taocp?
Ah yes, a slow Morse code dah-dit-dit-dit is burned into my mind from when my original IBM PC had memory errors!

For the new Lenovo beeps, the idea wasn't that you would listen to them and look it up in a doc like you would with the old PC beeps. They were intended for people who would call customer support and say "my computer won't boot and it makes these strange sounds!"

The CS rep would run the app while on the phone call, have the customer reboot, then the app would listen to the call, hear the beeps and display the error code and recommendations.

That’s me! And yes, it sucks.
None of what you listed are similar cases.

Farming produced food to eat. Mining produces minerals to build things with. Factories produce goods.

Bitcoin produces... A series of bits that some people will pay money for? It seems like bitcoin is basically fine art at this point.
> Amiga called the left and right brackets 'bra' and 'ket' which I always thought was clever.

Wouldn’t know about Amiga, but this is standard notation in quantum mechanics (though you may be aware of this already). <φ| is a ‘bra’, and |ψ> is a ket — the two are adjoints of each other. Naturally, <φ|ψ> is a ‘braket’. (As my QM lecturer is fond of saying, ‘Dirac invented both the notation, and the pun’.)

Not sure what your comment has to do with mine. That doesn't mean the total available biomass to predators in aggregate was larger or smaller, just because some big dinosaurs existed.

It doesn't even mean T-rex hunted brontosaurus frequently or at all (given the somewhat different eras), much like the modern lions don't really hunt adult elephants.
To over simplify again, your biggest customer always get preferential treatment. It really is just business, and nothing to do with industry.

You are right that users don't want to do that busy work.

But I am less sure users actually want folders.

Some power-users, sure. But most normal people don't want to deal with folders, either.

For evidence: look at the guy who saves everything on his overflowing desktop.

Any system that allows people to find their stuff, and perhaps make a few annotations, will be good for them.

Google Photos is almost a good example: I don't have to do annotate anything, yet I can search for eg pictures of snow or by location.

(I say only 'almost', because while impressive, that system isn't good enough yet to find obscure stuff or to work on contextual cues like 'those pictures I took at home after we came back from shopping sometime in the last few months'.)
You sound like a literal parody and it's terrifying to know that you probably actually believe what you are saying. The fact that enough people think like you do, especially those people in positions of power, is why we are all fucked. Thanks.

Could you not go and just read some real literature on climate and natural ecosystem dynamics before deciding to believe all this nonsense?

I'll refrain from commenting on environmental issues in the future, it's just some sort of shit-flinging contest.
Hmm.... That IS a thing, and I think they have limits up to $5k. Mind you, if you try to buy anything too big, you'll get put on a list somewhere.

Also, something to keep in mind, most financial companies have a "Know Your Customer" stage where they verify you employment and income. If you are trying to buy a $20k thing, and your only income is "a stack of Visa Gift Cards", you're going to have a bad day.
Sure you can! One of the big selling points of Rust, for example, is that handing of programmers' mistakes -- if you look at original announcement [1], the first bullet means "when programmers make mistakes, they do not turn into security or crashing issues".

That said, the "do not share" issue is not important for everyone. My Python code never calls fork, so that's not an issue at all. But I can easily imagine programs which do fork a lot.

Exactly the type of do-nothing idiocy I'd expect from this place. What exactly do you think you're contributing here?

On every single important topic, HN consistently pushes to the top whatever sentiment contains the least actionable information.

People here are simpletons that can't even fathom anything other than the status quo, even to the point that they'll condone killing off all other life on the planet as long as they don't have to address their own gluttony and revolting ignorance.
I've played around with fuse a bit.

There are two modes you can implement for your filesystem: in the so-called 'high level' mode you get the whole path. In the 'low level' mode the filesystem asks you for one piece of the path at a time.

The low level mode seemed faster in my tests, and I think it's also closer to how Linux kernel works internally?

Har har.
I feel really sorry for you.

If you believe you have good skills, make absolutely sure necessary people know about it. Be very public. Tell about yourself, show examples of your work - in this case it would probably benefit to work on side projects and demonstrate progress; you'll open yourself to lots of criticism, but win in the Theodore Roosevelt (man on the arena) sense. Becoming this public may be uncomfortable, but it's a necessary ingredient; you won't realistically get to a "deal" with people if those people unaware about you.

Don't allow yourself to become homeless if possible. If you don't have close friends, ask for help from less close. Be prepared - and then proceed - to spend next weeks and months concentrated on the task; again, make sure everybody knows about it, what you're doing and your progress. I wouldn't mind periodically read here about it. You have a lot of work to do, but you're not alone in the situation like this; try to make a good example to others.
The nature of politics tends to attract the very kind of people that you don't want in politics.
Using google maps and Tasker one can interlace the GPS coordinates into a google maps link, which I found easier for those that might be unfamiliar.
The random seeks aren't a given: your filesystem could do something clever with memory or disk layout to avoid most of them.
Who cares? Everyone is fixated on Bitcoin... there are tons of energy inefficient processes out there. The solution has nothing to do with Bitcoin... environmental impact needs to be priced into energy itself, whatever the application. This is a failure of the markets (and therefore ourselves). Bitcoin is a scapegoat.
That would be nice! There are several ways for others to get your last known location even long after your battery has died, but all the ones I know of require you to continuously track your location, which drains battery too fast for use on longer hikes...

For example, you can use "Share My Location" in Google maps. If your phone dies, the person you shared to can still see what your last location was. But since it's continually sharing your location the whole time, it drains the battery a lot. Strava's activity tracker has a similar feature, but I think only available while you're actively recording a GPS tracklog.
IMO you want two incompatible things - you want the security and good pay of a corporate drone while living the hotshot maverick life that gets away with being above the things. There are few jobs that will allow you that and they require to be with the company from the start, a smaller company and quite a bit of luck to land one.

So just choose one of those paths.
Yes, building more solar panels and and batteries gives the industry more experience at doing so, which (for a time) will allow it to refine the tech through multiple iterations, making future capacity cheaper and better-quality.

EDIT: this is to say, renewable tech production is still following a learning curve (https://ourworldindata.org/cheap-renewables-growth)
You and I seem to have different definitions of "experimental feature" then. By your definition, I don't think they did anything wrong. dataclasses in the standard library also rely on runtime type annotations. (how they don't have the same issue with 3.10 I don't know). I would hope people would start relying on new language features years after their release.
My Visit to Deep Springs College (2009)
I suggest temping.

When I needed to do that, I found only one agency out of like half a dozen in my area was any help. It was the same one that I got a job through almost 20 years ago. So it's important not to give up if some of them seem to be wasting your time.

If you need good benefits, then a government job may be the way to go. I've never known anyone who got one directly, but there can be loopholes, and temping is one route.

Extremely boring companies and organizations are more likely to promote you from a low level job in my experience, because they're not drowning in talent in the first place. Get a job doing stuff manually, figure out how to automate it.

Listening to people who have trouble explaining what they need can be far more valuable than pure technical skill. Treating nontechnical people as human beings is easier than anything people will tell you to do on HN.
> Have you used Adderall or any other similar drug?

Yes. Addreall, Ritalin, and Dextroamphetamine.

> If so, how did it go?

I went to my GP and asked for a psychiatrist referral. I didn't (and still don't) consider myself ADHD, but I wanted to see if it really was that easy to get a diagnosis and prescription for prescription stimulants (I was in uni and thought it would help).

The psychiatrist asked me a collection of questions related to motivation, sticktoitiveness (this was years ago and I still remember that awful word), and general life engagement. I answered them all honestly.

After 30 mins of chatting, he gave me a choice of three stimulants and recommended I try them all to find the best one for me personally. I started with Ritalin. In the end, I settled on Adderall as the "best" for me.

My main comments to anyone considering this path:

- They work. I don't think anyone disputes the effectiveness of stimulants for focusing. You will be more focused and able to work for a good 8-12 hours on whatever you can thing of (I forget to eat/drink).

- You do form a dependance. After two months of daily (mon-fri) use, I would get the urge to take a morning dose on Saturday/Sunday. Whenever that happened, I would freak out and stop taking anything for a few months (in retrospect, thank god!).

- There is a comedown the next day/when it wears off. If you take extended release (like most versions of Adderall), you'll get a "stream" of release all day. Other varieties (like the normal Ritalin version) require redosing every 4ish hours otherwise you crash. You can avoid the next day foggyness by redosing (obviously a terrible long-term idea).

- After 30 days of use, you might become aggressive/depressed. This was my case. It was before hitting the weekend craving, but my brain chemistry was doing all kinds of goofy things and I'd start lashing out at friends for minor reasons. I know friends that took Adderall and didn't have this effect, but keep it in mind.

- Both Ritalin and instant-release Dexamp are insane drugs. I get a serious buzz/peak from them. I get a tingling sensation and actually feel high. I used Ritalin 4-5 times to study. It worked, but I stopped touching it out of addiction fear. After taking Ritalin throughout the day, I had the urge to redose in the evening (Adderall didn't cause that for me).

I wouldn't touch them as an adult for general productivity. The risk/reward spread is bad IMO.
How does it benefit website owners to opt out?

If the Op had a bit more credentials, and/or created something special, they might label it as "chutzpah" instead.

I recall a story (perhaps apocryphal) that involved Steve Jobs that was similar.
Hey, I love the innovative designs from g Heavy Industries!

Unfortunately, I've had unsolved problems with 2 out of 4 orders over a couple years. First issue was the Georgi I ordered just never arrived. Only the lowest cost mail option was offered at the time, and it had no tracking or insurance. No refund. The second issue was the GergoPlex Heavy I ordered. I was able to work out tracked shipping at an extra cost, but after receiving it, I saw it had obviously been dropped by some delivery person. The GergoPlex Heavy was made of steel, and it was shipped in a thinly padded envelope instead of a box, so it must have hit the ground with a lot of force and insufficient impact protection. I bend back the MiniUSB port to make it functional, but the steel plate was also bent at a corner and was much less feasible to fix. My living in the US certainly makes shipping and handling from Canada more complicated, but I don't think I'm being unreasonable in expecting tracked/insured shipping and protective packaging for a $250 item. I've since given up on ordering any more, but this may just be my bad luck.

I still endorse the designs and the work.

You’re probably right.
What the US and specially the tech industry call "hustling" is bullshit sprinkled with self-delusion. For every successful history of someone hustling there's a thousand more of someone hustling just as much and not getting anywhere, and usually the ones being successful are getting there with generous help from unseen forces (network, relatives, etc).

We need to stop idolizing hustling. Getting shit done without pretending it's a gambler's game will get you far.

In-place translating is the feature that really missed on other browsers. Edge also works well with Bing translate. I wish DeepL provides translate extension.
My point isn't that it does not adhere to the rule, but rather that the rule in this case was comparatively less intuitive.
Are you sure it's not stripped out on the client before anything is sent to the server?

It would actually be really interesting to see a list of which apps strip metadata early on the client side vs. which retain it on their server and merely strip data from what is shared to other users...
It's 20 years old, open world games tend to age poorly. I loved Morrowind when it came out but I tried playing it again a few years ago and it wasn't great.
I think it alternates between the two. At various points one can be the scapegoat for the other.
yes, hluska, figure this shit out, well done. It didn't occur to you that the existence of this post signals the author's desire to do exactly that?

I truly encourage anybody, not just manga fans, to read Death Note. It is very, very good. Very rarely do you find such a well-crafted detective story. And you have to read it. The anime skips over a lot of details that are necessary to fully understand everything.
You are supposed to use generics:

Iterator<Map.Entry<UUID, ExpiringEntityPlayer>> ghostI = hashtableNPCs.entrySet().iterator();
while (ghostI.hasNext()) {
ExpiringEntityPlayer expiringEntityPlayer = ghostI.next().getValue();
}

However, it's a sham. The generic types are stripped at runtime. The compiler will prevent you from putting values in the map that are not an ExpiringEntityPlayer, as long as you are diligent in using generics everywhere, and don't fall in the few traps where the wrong type can slip by without a warning, but you can still be hit by a ClassCastException at runtime if you're not careful.
The more I see stories like this, the more I've come to realize that we really screwed up by allowing this technological experiment to get out of hand.

Not to sound pedantic, but our future generations are going to come to regret this when our planet is a toasted marshmallow, because we couldn't stop being greedy.
In chelan and Douglas counties, the PUD essentially owns the fiber networks as well as the power networks, but they are only allowed to sell power directly. For broadband I have to go through another provider, I’ve always thought this was silly. A few of those providers have done quite well financially, in leveraging this situation. All they do is customer service, and hook up from the pole to the house, and lease routers. the infrastructure investment was prepaid by the public.
I'm ready to accept that these phenomena might really be of Earth origin.
You don't really sound like you are cut out to work a corporate job. And that's not a bad thing.

I'd say find whatever job you can get your hands on that has basic benefits, and focus your energy on creating the next Symantec or whatever.

And maybe, someday, some oddball might contact you with spoofed credentials looking for a job.
> Automotive orders are definitely a contributing factor, but the popular narrative is putting too much emphasis on a single industry.

Yes. All because no one give a damn before the Car Manufacture started to become very vocal about it, politician picked it up because it affect jobs, and jobs affect vote. Then it become a news story in mainstream media, then people started blaming TSMC, that also fit the narrative of relying on TSMC being far too dangerous for National Security. Then people want Digital Sovereignty ( whatever that means ). Then companies will ask for government incentives...... and on and on and on.....
Let me turn the question around: to what extent are website owners who do not opt out accomplices with Google in the privacy violations implicit in their creepy surveillance profiling tech?
Well said! If you can’t turn around your life yourself (I couldn’t), you can at least delegate that task to an organization willing to spend ungodly amounts of money and time on making you a productive member of its society. Whether you like it or not.
