I looked at the Mega65 with its three (not quite) 6502 CPU variants and I just found it so weird. Basically no 16 bit operations, instead a couple of 32 bit operations. Z register is no longer 0 and you have to set it non-zero to change bank configuration. Five instructions (nine bytes) to change bank and I do not understand how you can save the previous bank setting in case you want to restore it.

If you move the stack or zero page, the well known trick of using absolute plus index register no longer works the same as on the 6502 (breaking existing code). Sure, you could hardcode a different page, but the point of moving the stack is (probably) so you could do multi-tasking. But if processes are given different stack pages, they can no longer share code (if using such well known tricks in the code).
Moving zero page is in 256 steps, so you cannot use it as a movable stack frame (the 65816 can set it to any location in the first 64K).

I know there is a lot of interest in the Mega65, but I found it had so many poorly made design decisions that made me want to stay far away.

So far I find the 65816 to a well designed 16 bits ISA (I am also familiar with PDP-11, MSP430, MELPS7700 and Motorola 6812) that gives a lot of 6502 vibes, but is just a lot better. There are a couple of odd corners, probably due to the opcode space as you mention, but I would not call it a bunch of compromises.
No I mean the technically inclined. Adding a layer of gatekeeping just means folks who are okay with that keeping make it across. IRC has a very particular culture.
This reminds me of Albert Einstein's thought experiments.

> (No, planetary migration won't keep GDP growth going any time soon. Humans could settle on the Moon or Mars but they're too far away to contribute much to our Earthly GDP. They'd be mostly isolated economies of their own.)

I don't really agree with your take on things but this one stuck out to me as particularly wrong. If there were suddenly another population of humans on another planet, there would, at a minimum, be a regular flow of digital goods, as well as physical shipments, largely one way earth -> mars.
Did seriously no one watch Disney's 1992 Aladdin? "Streetrats" get just as hungry as everyone else. If these outfits spent half the money that they do on security on feeding and clothing their neighbors, we wouldn't be in this mess, but shareholders don't appreciate altruism for it's own sake.
Ah, gotcha. Thanks for the clarification, Jeff!
Except the article said that turned out not to be a factor.
I can't speak to SF, but this is exactly the dynamic that's been happening for years up here in Portland. The PPA tells officers to slow roll on crimes that create political pressure every time a candidate for mayor or council that will reform them appears viable. Sadly it's a very effective tactic.
I love the idea and overall effort, but I really dislike the "push" nature of the top row for both fingers & thumb.

Our fingers/thumbs are incredibly weak at opening vs contracting. The actuation force of the top row would have to be very low compared to the other keys.

Thumb row, left/right movement is preferred over forward/back. It's actually why I dislike the Ergodox thumb cluster. Top row thumb buttons are out of reach and our thumbs aren't well suited to go up there. Better to put rarely used keys on a different layer.

My favorite out of the "kinesis like" so far is the Dactyl[0]. But dropping $400 just to "try it" is too tall for me.

I just don't understand why anyone would choose to live in California. Between the astronomical rent, out of control homelessness, out of control crime, out of control wildfires... It just doesn't make sense.

Now everyone is fleeing CA for TX, and voting for the same policies that ruined CA.
Part of the issue is that these sorts of policies have been around for a long time.

A while ago drug courts were popular. Then someone realized that in order for drug courts to work, you have to charge people with drug offenses. So they stopped sling drug courts.

It’s dumb.

Are you saying switching to static binaries would help because... they are harder to patch? If I'm not mistaken, Debian and most Linux distros build Firefox from source. In this instance, if Firefox was only available as a statically-compiled binary, it would still be vulnerable to the issue Debian was patching!
I suspect that these loud mouths have always existed but social media is amplifying their voices and the companies they target don't yet understand how to deal with them.

One angry person screaming in the lobby of your building in 1982 was a minor nuisance. A protest rally of thousands, covered by the national media was a PR disaster. People being outraged on twitter to an audience of anywhere from millions to a half dozen followers can feel more like the protest rally than the individual screaming in the lobby. Companies have to learn how not to engage because most of the time these folks quickly move on to another target if they don't get the attention they're seeking.
The zero reserve requirement is temporary due to covid. It is normally 10-20% depending on size of the bank.

Although I honestly do have fond memories of the late 80's BBS era. But to the point those were local and largely only psudo-anonymous.

The Sysop knew who everyone was if they verified users. And here, at the time, the cost of calls greatly limited connection range. People were locals.
Most YouTube creators offer side channel donations via Patreon. Prefer paying the value generator than the middle man.
It's not to "get back" at the DA or because the police don't like him. It's to best utilize their finite resources. There's no point in wasting time arresting people whom the DA is basically certain to immediately drop the charges against.
These claims about prop 47 seem either ill-informed or disingenuous.

Prop 47 reduced certain categories of crimes to misdemeanors. You can be sentenced to up to 12 months in prison for a misdemeanor, which seems like plenty for shoplifting. If nothing else, a year in jail prevents people from shoplifting for that year, and they probably would be less likely to do it openly the second time.
Microsoft’s Inclusive Design Manual gives an excellent high-level view of context-dependent disability:

iPhone’s accessibility features are great for everybody. I use them all the time, e.g.

- “Display Curtain” switches off only the display while the app is still running. Great for people who do not need the screen for whatever reason: I use this for video-conferencing software. Everybody still can see me, but my display is off, reducing heat and battery usage.

- Display grayscale: I used this in the past to successfully reduce time spent on my phone.

- Voice control: Many do not even categorize that under “Accessibility” anymore

Back in the 50s, nuclear was being treated as the magic that would solve all energy problems. There were ideas for making fission cars, trains, planes, etc. But since then, civilization has only benefited from nuclear reactors via power plants, naval ships, RTGs, and depending on how you see it, bombs. The magic of nuclear fission never provided the complete revolution it was setup to do. Just as we weren't responsible enough to plan for fission's partial failure back then, we are not able to envision the same partial failure with solar and wind. Fusion is the only thing I can think of that still has a chance to be the magic it is hyped to be. But that is only because its another 50 years away. And that is just too late to stop climate change in its accelerating state.

I remember when I was about 12years old maybe, I was dreaming about something like this, which would allow using 2 positions - up and down, compared to the almost straight base position - of our fingers for input. I was learning to play the recorder at that time; I think that's sparked my thought process.
There was a walgreens in downtown oakland that was smashed during the BLM protests. They decided to just never open up again, because theft had cut into their margins so much.

There's no point in "wasting time" stopping someone from walking out of a store with a suitcase full of stolen goods? Seems to me like that's a worthwhile service to provide whether or not you can rack up some vanity points with a conviction.
You can't directly compare SF to Chicago (I've lived in both).

Chicago is still a very segregated city, and the north side is relatively safe. San Francisco is small, and while the problem areas concentrate around Civic Center / Tenderloin / SOMA, literally everything else is in walking distance, so petty property crime is quite widespread.
This reminds me of something, too. My siblings and me often play a (now) old RTS - Battle for Middle Earth II - against AI. When these matches go on a while, sometimes it crashes when defeating an AI.

Well I looked at where it crashes, and simply nopped out the code where it crashes (it was a null pointer access I think) ... and we haven't noticed any weird effects of that so far ... one of these days I'll get around to making it an if (ptr) fix and see that happens then, but it is not this day!

This needs to be repeated.

Some left leaning folks like to say "oh it's Walgreens, they're a corporation and the losses are immaterial."

When this happens to independent mom & pop shops, they close up much sooner.

Cash bail repeal has been done in a lot of jurisdictions and it's a favorite target of conservatives as a "soft on crime" policy but really is just basic fairness. Bail is only intended to insure that defendants appear for trial. The underlying crimes are never supposed to be a consideration. Until the trial happens no guilt can be assigned and confinement is unconstitutional.
> $950 seems extremely high as the threshold for punishment

Prop 47 made this the threshold for a Felony. Misdemeanor shoplifting can still be up to 6 months in prison. In practice it's not, but that's something to take up with the police, prosecutors, and judges.
I'm thinking the police aren't involved what-so-ever and this is more about the shop owners' senioritis now that their mission to deliver huge amounts of opioids into suburban areas[1] has been accomplished and it's time to go home.

Not sure what to say.
I am not much familiar with Ansible/Puppet etc. However working in Java and dealing with frameworks like Spring/boot, kafka etc I notice a phenomenon of large number of breaking changes, specially when one update in couple of years as opposed to update with every release. Now when I dig into changes it just points to extremely poor design to begin with. It just couldn't handle slight change in requirement without breaking changes.

I do not think it is a case of hindsight 20/20. These are basic things like object need multiple fields but it is rigidly defined with 2 fixed strings and now one need object V2 to update. Or all functionality dumped at base URL so no scope of adding sub-functionality without breaking the whole pattern. I can understand no one can plan for how complex functionality evolve over time. But here I see perennial amateur hour with every release. And it is doubly irritating when these frameworks are already many layer deep stack of bullshit abstractions so ideally they should be able to handle changes without breaking.
Printer ink in those quantities is probably only useful to businesses who don't really want to buy stolen printer ink (especially considering Walgreens is probably carrying genuine supplies when you can get 50% cheaper generic). Plan B is expensive, maybe that would work (I don't know if it's always locked up).
Seconded. I'm picturing my wife's choices in clothing--I would say often the highest entropy will be her top. And depending on the resolution and how good the entropy measurement is I can easily see her pants coming in second. (She tends to favor repeating patterns.)

(She has no work dress code she needs to conform to. Rarely does she wear a top as plain as any of your examples.)
That's an odd argument from the person who defined the value of someones time solely through their work income.
Can anyone provide numbers/some data for both the points in this overly generalized comment? I’m genuinely interested to know if everyone is fleeing for TX, and if they’re fleeing b/c of the aforementioned reasons, and most importantly if they _are_ voting for the same policies that ruined CA.

I have read the story if Miss Shilling a couple of times now. What I cannot place in historical context is whether the name “Miss Shilling’s orifice” is supposed to be a dirty joke or not. I am certain that the innovation was taken very seriously, but was the name given to it because she was a woman/was there innuendo in it or was the language sufficiently different then that this was a purely technical term?
Not that stealing is ok, but the solution to this problem in the long run is jobs -- lots and lots of green jobs. When you stop moralizing and step back from the situation, you see cost of living skyrocketing and the job market hollowing out from the bottom, and it seems obvious to me that the people on the lowest rungs of the ladder are just falling off and hitting the pavement. We're seeing the effects more and more people with years and years of no income and no prospects. The solution is building a ferocious economic engine that employs people, wants their contributions and cultivates their talents. If jobs were easy to get, like so easy that you could just walk over to the employment center and be working within the day, I just have to believe that this kind of anti-social behavior would quickly get back to normal.

San Francisco famously will not prosecute thefts under some large amount of money in damages (I think it's like $1000).

Why would police go through all the trouble to arrest someone who the state is going to let go of anyways?
As much as we hate to admit it the threat of punishment probably has some amount of deterrent effect on crime. If a particular crime is sure not to be punished then people will make a different calculation when deciding whether to do that crime.

The pendulum is going to swing the other way on this stuff. The only question is how painful it's going to get before people realize that we need both carrots and sticks.
I'm doubt much of this behaviour is driven insecurity / fear of intellect and creativity - it's mainly an incentive problem IMO. If I'm incentivised to keep an inefficient manual system going, I'll fight for that inefficient manual system until the bitter end.

I mean yes. But it is a funny example to choose to illustrate the power of a NN approach. They're talking about mountains--an entity that has very concrete and definable attributes (e.g., height). And the rest of the examples are similarly dealing with semi-structured data that could theoretically be represented in RDF or something like that.

How does Kubernetes not also result in the same? I'm not questioning plenty of improvements and the somewhat different domain it brings to the table overall but genuinely curious. From what I've seen any tool designed to integrate and manage complex, disparate systems is going to end up with lots special cases, domain knowledge, and require digging into implementation details on a regular basis for anything other than absolute common-case uses.
