For comparison, AmigaOS was built on the assumption of binary compatibility and people still replace and update libraries today, 35 years later.

It's a cultural issue, not a technical one - in the Amiga world breaking ABI compatibility is seen as a bug.

If you need to, you add a new function. If you really can't maintain backwards compatibility, you write a new library rather than break an old one.

As a result 35 year old binaries still occasionally get updates because the libraries they use are updated.

And using libraries as an extension point is well established (e.g datatypes to allow you to load new file formats, or xpk which let's any application that supports it handle any compression algorithm there's a library for).

But it requires a discipline around it.
...and of course provide an easy way to turn off all the spyware.
Buy a Dacia. In the latest models they have an official phone holder. As in: you can make your car as smart or as dumb as you want.
It's true that I bought it about 5 years ago and things may have changed since then.

But I think the sentence you're quoting is referring to the following: BC Navigator allows you to download maps for offline use from a variety of sources. Most of these sources are free (e.g. Open Cycle Map [related to OpenStreetMap], US Forest Service, etc) and some require a paid account with the map provider (e.g. CalTopo). So if you want to use the CalTopo maps, you need to pay CalTopo. But it's perfectly fine with the free maps.

The UI used to be pretty difficult to figure out. After a year I got used to it and it's fine. But they released a new version for iPhone which is supposedly quite different from the early Android version, and they claim they put more effort into making it easier to use.

Another thing that's very useful about BC Navigator is that you can easily import GPX tracks (e.g. planned routes) and overlay them on the map in different colors. So you can have your main route for the day, and maybe some alternate routes for a section where you're not sure if the original route is going to work out. You can keep an entire library of routes in the app, and select which ones you want to show that day.

It's just a perfect app for what I love to do - mountain biking in places where few people go.
Been using this type of style on iTerm2 for a while.

iTerm is so good I’d happily pay for it.

I think nativcomp doesn't really improve what makes emacs "slow".

Emacs is a single threaded synchronous and blocking UI system. Sometimes when my autocomplete, C++ checking, git checking, auto formating, ... run, the editor freezes, for multiple seconds.

All this stuff runs in the UI thread. Braindamaged.

The other thing that makes emacs slow is remote editing. Emacs TRAMP uses one ssh connection per command. VS Code spawns a remote server and asynchronously updates the remote's state. VS Code remote editing experience is as good as the local one, but emacs experience is supper laggy, recurrent freezes of multiple seconds, etc. Particularly when navigating the filesystem in the remote in any modern emacs way (helm, ido, etc.). Or when auto-save happens and everything blocks for multiple seconds, etc.

---

I don't really care if native compilation makes single threaded code faster, if that single threaded code runs in the UI thread and blocks the editor for 10 seconds. Sure now it maybe blocks for 9 seconds, because you can't do much about those 9 seconds you have to wait for some IO operation to complete. But that still sucks.
I would much rather use this, a nice secluded statically compiled blob instead of letting node.js unspool a spaghetti of dependencies.

It's the initial generation of the 'plots' that make up the proof of space that's disc IO limited. So faster SSDs for that and then moved onto HDDs for long-term. According to Chia, it uses 332 GB to generate a 101.3 GB proof of space:

> And my argument is that it's very likely the reason for these racial income disparities is the racist legacy of our systems. I see no contradiction, in fact this is supporting evidence to my claim.

I find that unlikely, because you see similar results in Germany, and Germany does not share the US' history of slavery.

> Systemic racism causes socio-economic inequalities that disproportionately affect blacks.

The socio-economic inequalities are just as well explained by cultural differences though, and you don't need a conspiracy that set up a racist system but then decided to hide it very well, and set it up in such a way, that it doesn't affect all Black people, but filters by ethnicity [1].

Poverty doesn't really work as an explanation for delinquency either. Germany has had many Vietnamese immigrants come with literally nothing, not speaking the language etc. A generation later, they're hard to distinguish from the native population with regards to education, have low unemployment and are creating moderate wealth (lots of self-employed/entrepreneurs). Culture is a much better explanation than poverty.

That was an obscure reference to https://tauday.com/tau-manifesto and others 'tauist' beliefs.

But really, it's more of a 'well most of the time it's 2π' so maybe it makes sense to use the constant that represents that number, and since we're talking about small details, '2.0*PI' is also longer than 'TAU' to type.

I love Doom but it needs more documentation and more developers/maintainers. If your Elisp is good and you use Doom I would strongly recommend contributing to the code. Even if your Elisp is not good, you can totally contribute towards documentation.
If I am not completely mistaken, if you produce a dynamic library with rust, you are limited to the C-ABI. For instance, you cannot import a polymorphic function from a dynamic library.
I've been running Emacs for almost 30 years. Stability has never been a problem and the last 5-10 years it has been rock solid for me. I can run Emacs for months without restart. Hence instability must be an issue with some packages.
Miners have bought up all the graphics cards to do crypto, shortage drove up price, scalpers keep the price up with bots buying everything.

That's basically the same as what I'm showing off here. Except that the log parsing happens prior to the data being imported into sqlite3 but aside from that all the field names in the sqlite3 table are the field names in the log files.

Because the log files are parsed prior to importing them, it also means the SQL you write in is cleaner and more readable.

Not taking anything away from what you've exampled there though. That does look really cool too.
So what is a good and healthy way to address the situation aside from eating something? Using an insulin pump?
virt-install with kickstart or preseed files and VMs attached to the serial console, like

virt-install -n centos -r 1024 --cpu=host -l http://mirror.cogentco.com/pub/linux/centos/6/os/x86_64/ --disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/centos.img,size=10,bus=virtio --boot kernel_args="console=/dev/ttyS0" -w network=internal,model=virtio --initrd-inject=centos.ks -x "ks=file:/centos.ks console=ttyS0" --graphics none

Setting up the serial console requires some configuration on the host part, too, unfortunately, depending on the OS.
You're forgetting about one common case where libraries are replaced.

This is security vulnerabilities. If your application depends on a common library that had a vulnerability, I can fix it without you having to recompile your app.

With GLibc or X libraries a vulnerability there would result essentially requiring reinstallation of the entire OS.

To me (an atheist) this and the eruv thing (as linked in response to your post) sound very insane, without much humor thrown in. It's fully grown up, serious, rational people wasting engineering effort, money and time on ridiculous, arbitrary rules.

Melbourne, Australia, has Google Pay support for the transit system but not Apple Pay. I recently switched to iOS and the lack of phone transit support is the biggest pain so far (and I don't really even use public transport, living and working in the CBD/city/downtown, just walk through one of the stations quite often on the way to and from the office).

....my guess. entertainment was better during that period of time. great videos games, consistent focus on gameplay and gaming instead of MRR/ARR......we have consistently seen improved technology until around 2014-2015 when stagnation was beginning and suddenly they needed to to find more and more profit for everything....and social media was pervasive in everything thus removing the novelty from a lot of the experience. Additionally....2015 was the year that AI was beginning to be used online more particularly in the effects of manipulation and I think everyone has felt a draining of creativity in place of gratuitous mediocrity. this became a breeding ground for polarization and then the loss of general satisfaction from modern life

The comment I was responding to was a fair question. I didn't mean to imply otherwise.

That said, your comment contains several significant misconceptions, and you are far too confident despite not having any idea what you are talking about.

First, neither elevation.fandom.com nor Wikipedia are good sources for Jewish thought. How things seem to someone who has no background knowledge after consulting a poor source is of little interest to anyone engaging in serious consideration.

Second, as with most questions in Judaism, there are multiple opinions. Most communities eventually agreed on one position to follow (at least in practice). In this particular case most communities settled on the more lenient position, but just as often it settles on more stringent interpretations. That has no relevance to the question of whether or not Eruvin are a loophole.

Third, Eruvin are not a loophole. They are not an escape hatch or an attempt to weasel out of the rules. They are an elegant extension of the rules that simultaneously uphold the letter and the spirit of the law in the face of changing circumstance. If you understand this it is obvious why we cannot have a single worldwide Eruv. Because it breaks both. It also just straight up doesn't make any sense.

Indeed people that can will take the stairs, but think about old peoples or people that can't use stairs because of invalidity or temporary invalidity. For them the regular Shabbat mode is the only option.
In some buildings the Shabbat mode is activated only at some hours and not for all Shabbat to save energy.

Isn't it the absence of hands that has held them back? (from dominance)

Having hands plus less of or less good neural hardware means less dominance, as we see with our simian cousins, yet having the greatest brain on the planet wouldn't provide dominance without the ability to fabricate things.
A motion sensor seems to be doing something somewhat different. When there is no motion, no circuit is completed, and the connected appliance (e.g., a light) is off.

Contrast that with a device that constantly scans for faces and is continuously sending instructions to the elevator controller. In this case, it is always sending an instruction about which floor to go to. If no one is present (and nothing is happening on other floors), the instruction is to stay on the current floor, doors open. If someone approaches and is not recognized, then on the Sabbath the instruction would be to go floor by floor. And if someone approaches and is recognized, the instruction would be to go to that person's floor. In any of the three cases, instructions are being sent via continuously-active circuitry. This is different from the motion sensor, where a circuit is completed only when someone is present and triggers it.

But like I said, I know little of this subject, and I'm sure these ideas have been vigorously debated by experts!
Still N=1 but at least it’s not just ‘feeling’ clearer:

I can complete cryptic crosswords by particular setters when eating a keto diet. I couldn’t do this before.

Did I just get better at them? I’ve had two switches back to non-keto for a few weeks each and during both I could hardly start the crosswords.

I also ‘know’ I am much more able to focus and prioritise better in my work, but there is no quantitive measure I can use there.

Sorry. I thought this was either religious post, so mentioning religion in the comment is ok or that religion in this post was irrelevant and we are talking about culture and humanity so it's fine talking about them in similar way in the comment.

And since it's a discussion forum I thought taking contrarian position was fine.

I stand corrected that religion is a special topic on HN as nearly everywhere else that can be freely promoted and praised but any critique is in bad taste.

I'm sorry I don't know of any particular singular resource you can check out (I know they exist, but I can't think of a good one off the top of my head), though feel free to email me and I will happily answer any question you might have.

For a small, partial start to your second question, check out this story:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Oven_of_Akhnai (under the Story heading).

Note that the mystical and the magical elements of the story are often seen as the rhetorical flourishes and metaphors of the Talmud's storytelling style. The fundamental point is that even if a voice rang down from heaven declaring the law to be a certain way, a majority opinion among sages would overrule said voice. The Torah (law and teachings) was given to Jewish people, and it's now our job to interpret and wrestle with the particulars.

(I mentioned this is as a partial answer to your question, because there is a lot of nuance and further thought based on the idea. It does not, for instance, suggest an each-person-for-themself personal reinterpretation of the body of laws. It is more supporting the idea that as a society it is up to us to collectively define, refine, debate, and expand on these teachings.)

A compatibility layer for Android apps would really make it viable. I just don't want to fight my OS to be recognized and treated as its owner.

In that respect I really like how I can run Windows games on Linux via Proton and Steam; an otherwise good game can ship with all kinds of crap (like having their own launchers stuck in the system tray), but when I'm done the whole Wine-sandbox collapses and I'm back in a Linux desktop that does what I want. Something like that for the host of proprietary apps you are nowadays hard-pressed to avoid (I manage now, but it is not a tenable position) would be welcome. Ideally you could do all sorts of privacy preserving stuff at the sandbox layer.

Bitcoin did solve the problem it alleged to be solving: money which is not controlled by state, and a system which us pretty hard to seize.

It does allow you to have an "account" outside any jurisdiction, and allows you, given good opsec, to transfer huge amounts in transactions not controlled by any state. Like, millions of USD.

Bitcoin is obviously useless to pay for daily goods, like a coffee. But gold would be also impractical for such a case.

Crazy speculators pumping the value of bitcoin may look unreasonable, but again, for those who have millions (and maybe even billions) in bitcoin, they are weirdly... useful.

> What? Getting rid of Google Reader was a business decision

It has been widely reported that a significant factor in that business decisions was Google’s massively coupled codebase and the fact that Reader had dependencies on parts of it that were going to have breaking changes to support other services.

> The medieval manorial economy is resilient.

It’s not, compared to capitalist and modern mixed economies, and unnecessary and counterproductive coupling between unrelated functions is a problem there, too.

Compared to its immediate precedents, generally, yes.

Oh I wouldn't be so sure about that. From their FAQ:

"
Why are we pre-farming?

Chia has a novel business model to both, lower volatility of the coin and increase adoption. By loaning Chia and managing the interest rates of those loans as well as other tools like buying our stock with chia coins, we hope to lower the quarter to quarter volatility of the coin. To drive adoption, we intend to loan Chia to Global 5000 companies who will use it to pay their international vendors quickly, less expensively, and more securely. We also intend to use the strategic reserve to aid development and adoption. We plan to do things like invest in promising startups in the Chia ecosystem, potentially increase farming rewards during limited periods of time to spur additional farming, and fund corporations paying 105% of the value of their international payables in Chia instead of fiat currency.

Is Chia doing an ICO?

No. Chia is not planning an ICO. Instead, our goal is to take the company’s equity public on an American stock exchange. This way, shareholders can share risk and return with management with transparency and disclosure and we can use well understood corporate controls to make binding statements about how Chia Network intends to use the Strategic Reserve. The Chia digital money is meant to be a useful payment instrument and not an investment opportunity. Chia intends to complete a fully compliant SEC registered equity IPO and will come to market as market-timing is amenable after the launch of mainnet.
