Well, this a nostalgic article for me.

I first started dialing into bulletin boards as a tween, on a 386 (and later a 486) cobbled together from bits scrounged from garage sales and the e-waste from the various businesses of my parent's friends or friends of friends. I eventually came into an 8-bit ISA modem, and upon recognizing what it was, added it into my computer, and snuck a telephone cable from an open jack into my room. I found the BBS listings in a local computer magazine and and started dialing out, exploring my area code. To be honest, I don't recall how I got the terminal program I initially used; I just recall that it was bare-bones and kinda janky. As a kid, you bet your sweet ass I went straight for the games section if there was one. And there I discovered TW:2002 and Legend Of the Red Dragon.

The sysop of one of the boards I dialed into noticed I was connecting at 2400bps at a time when 28.8k and 33.6 were commonplace. He pulled me into sysop chat to ask what was up and I explained my situation with my computer being cobbled together from scrap. He offered to send me a newer modem as well as some terminal software that didn't suck, and so I gave him my mailing address. I don't recall if I got my parents' permission to do so. In either case, a week or so later package showed up in the mail with a 16-bit ISA 14.4k modem and a floppy disk with a terminal program that indeed didn't suck. And with connection speeds that didn't cause a full screen of ANSI art take minutes to load, line by painful line, TradeWars became much more playable.

I logged many hours in TW:2002 through middle school and early high school. The holy grail I heard about, but initially couldn't play, were those really fancy BBSes that had multiple lines and the latest version that let you play against other players at the same time. Those were fancier operations where you had to pay monies for your dial-in time, which was not a particularly feasible thing when you're not even old enough to have a job, much less a bank account. It until wasn't towards the end of high school when I found a few sites offering connections over telnet that I got to experience multi-player play. And promptly learned just how bad of a player I'd been all that time.

A back-burnered project still intend to get to is to set up a retro system to run a multi-line (or maybe even network connected!) BBS, with all the various classic games of that era, including TW:2002.
Bitcoin? Losing everything?

- If a workaround is found to its cryptographic formula, it goes to zero immediately,

- If quantum computing is invented,

- If a government tightens the tax declarations about it, making it a pain for a lot of holders who would then look into liquidating en masse,

- If EY wanted to squash ransomware (as France does, being #1 victim) and requires “source of wealth proof” for every BTC transaction,

- If a country like US or China assimilates BTC to terrorism or evasion, since Iran has been found using it to circumvent petrol restrictions, since Chinese people use it to evade the country, any country could decide for any reason that BTC is illegal and provoke a mass sale.

Besides, sea-level rise is not uniformly distributed, same as temperature variation due to climate change. But overall, yes, the sea level is rising, and it is accelerating globally.

All of that is explained here [1].

Just to be clear — not my project, but I’m trying to use this or something like it. I found it pretty compelling though also somewhat lacking, and HN is a great place to get more discussion and maybe read about some alternatives :)
>How influencers have legitimised anti-Semitism

No, but many journalists (like this one) do conflate anti-Semitism with critique to the actions of the state of Israel.
The "gay" of "gay women" did not mean "homosexual" back then, that meaning is not documented even for men before the 1920s, and for women even later: https://greensdictofslang.com/entry/pgc2e4q

What they meant was probably "promiscuous" or in some other form "leading an immoral lifestyle": https://greensdictofslang.com/entry/bzyd5jq

That might make it a bit more plausible why this epithet was removed.
zig is also a really good contender in this space as well. it also maps fairly cleanly to assembly while providing a bit more safety.
And now I'm going to have to set it up in docker again.. I only remember some of that.

I'm not saying it would have to be a product of enforcement. Although unlikely, it could be one of education. Enforcement depends on the country and it's governance. For example, you would need a constitutional amendment in the US to impose those sorts of restrictions. It would require the representation and buy-in of the people (so education is an important part either way). Then you also have game theory with how to compete on a variety of issues internationally depending on population dynamics.

That's also only half the issue. The other half is the consumption. This would likely be more achievable through taxes, zoning, and the court's (potentially flawed) interpretation of interstate commerce laws.
When I first read the title I thought of a person posting penises instead of a poster with penises on it. Internet slang has made me dumber.
And it is possible to meet NHTSA certification requirements for recommended safety technology with vision-only systems. Subaru has done that for years.

Use Watcom C/C++, it's freely available and fully supports protected mode extenders on MSDOS. It might be a bit dated but it works and generates pretty tight code.
Agreed. Yet the term should be foster a sustainable birth rate. A country like Japan is doing this right. Importing migrants from overcrowded countries will only increase the overall number of people reproducing.

There's definitely a sweet spot the world should hit.
Section 230 is flawed but important. Sites shouldn't be punished due to the actions of users. However it should be amended to require sites to uphold certain speech protections of their users in order to receive section 230 protection. In other words making the decision to censor content that isn't illegal or beyond a reasonable standard of moderation (ie: removing spam and the like) means the site is taking responsibility for the content posted by users and therefore is liable for it.

Simple as that, you can't have it both ways. I think the provision should also only come into effect above a certain size. We dont want the FCC coming down hard on the petunia enthusiast's forms because they banned someone for starting threads about something other than petunias. And I think reasonable people can agree on the idea of a forum growing large enough to defacto become "public". There is already a legal framework for treating private property as public forums, for example when city councils would meet on private property they couldn't censor discussion just because they weren't on public land.
I'll likely toss them the $10/month they are suggesting, MDN is priceless and helps me make an income daily/weekly!
Bear in mind, there are safety features actually being dropped for this change: https://www.tesla.com/support/transitioning-tesla-vision

"Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance may be disabled at delivery"
Notably, even Tesla says that the vision-only cars will ship with reduced safety features which they’ll backfill later via software update.

Given how long they’ve been promising that the FSD beta rollout is right around the corner, I’m not holding my breath.
I would seriously consider toning down the marketing speak. This project is making very bold claims, without citations, while trying to appeal to an often skeptical crowd (developers).

"Graph databases are considered more powerful and modern than relational databases," ... okay? According to what benchmark and for what workloads? A statement like that is an immediate turnoff because it is dismissive of 30 years of database development.

"In many languages the slightest error in input data can cause a program to seriously malfunction. Beads has special rules of arithmetic and a robust mathematical model, that makes it extremely difficult to have a serious malfunction." I don't see how "special rules of arithmetic and a robust mathematical model" makes it "extremely difficult to have a serious malfunction."

Replacing "Unix, SQL, Rails, Ruby, RSpec, Templates, HTTP, HTML, CSS, DOM, jQuery and Javascript" in one language? How does this replace Unix? HTTP? It's not an operating system or a transport layer.

My goal isn't to crush someones idea, but consider your audience: developers.
Than it could be? I dunno. Humans gotta human.

Until relatively recently, women and people from racial and ethnic minorities were pre-cancelled. And if they got too noisy, there was far worse on the menu---the first year in US history without a lynching was something like 1952, and that's literal torture, mutilation, and death; not having people say bad things about you on the Internet.

Was it more civil? Yeah, sure. It would only be spoken about in public rarely and the better classes of people would certainly never face it. It would certainly be more civil, as long as everyone stayed in their place.
Speculation is that radar shortage is why they have 10k cars on hold - https://insideevs.com/news/508369/tesla-10k-cars-containment...
Pretty sure it's not a requirement for vehicles to have these safety features to go to market. So from Tesla's perspective this is better that delaying their product that they think is equivalent (though in my mind they're taking a risk.)
As of May 2021, Tesla publicly announced they’re using lidar to develop FSD.

There is nothing to be fixed. They are replacing radar with vision.

You're not wrong, but you're attributing the conclusions (e.g., grads aren't smarter) to the wrong reasons (willing to put up with bullshit).

PhD grads aren't smarter, they're playing a different game. There's bullshit everywhere, you just chose a different pile to call home -- probably because it smelled better to your reward/bullshit tradeoff.

Why would PhD's choose that pile of bullshit of yours? ...

As you say, "Academic research is rarely about the things it says its about" is a good observation. The reason is that most of the time grants are awarded to professors to try a method (their specialty) to a problem (the thing the grant is about). This looks like the professor is padding his career, but honestly, that's the point.

We would ideally have a huge set of professors with perfect specializations such that a combination of professors could solve any problem. Science funding is ensuring that deep, old expertise is preserved in case it is useful. Grants are a way to simultaneously test that usefulness for modern problems and expand it a little towards modern problems by producing new phd's with slightly mutated expertise. This is why PhDs endure their own type of bullshit, because they want to be part of this particular kind of knowledge legacy. There are other ways of doing this. A problem-first (vs solution-first) approach is kind of better for a different kind of venue, like business, NASA, etc.

Political spats? Absolutely. No contest there. Turf wars are a thing.
The tell that their vision tech is not as good as radar is that their high end models, S and X, are keeping the radar.
If you sold ice cream on the street and needed to figure out how to become profitable, would you be so opposed to trying out selling at $5 one day and $7 the next? Or would this be too unfair to the people that paid $5?

It's the intent I guess. The bartender story seems to imply a bad reason for the discrepancy (some type of unfair discrimination), while in this case it's to find out if you can charge more to eg capture back more of the value people are getting from you. Which doesn't seem so bad.

You must have missed it, the article itself says its not going to solve the problem.

>In its testing and research, Instagram said that removing likes had little impact on behaviour or wellbeing - after concerns that using the platform could be linked to insecurity and poor mental health.

>Despite this, Mr Mosseri said Instagram - which is owned by Facebook - introduced the feature to make “people feel good about the time they spend” on the platform. “I do think there’s more to do in this space,” he added. “The more we can give people the ability to shape Instagram and Facebook into what's good for them, the better.”
The moderator comments are a kind of public mod log and a thing worth looking at regularly if you're interested in how and why HN is moderated.
I've been working on a version of TW2002 in Go for awhile now. What I keep getting stuck on is the economics! Does anyone have any thoughts on how the calculations work as far as supply/demand and prices between ports? I've got a really naive implementation now, but i'd like something as close to the original as possible.

Similar question for combat stuff, but I haven't gotten that far in my build yet...
I’m relatively new, and I’m not sure how I feel about downvotes yet. I might prefer a system of upvotes-only, with the option to flag a post for review if it violates the forum rules. I like not yet having the option to downvote.
With book reviews I tend to only leave a high mark for a book I am grateful for, or nothing for a book that didn’t resonate, for it might be helpful to someone else. Who am I to judge? Critical reviews carry more water as the readers know the reviewer more.

Since I don’t much know the value of HN points I don’t much care yet. I might be okay with hiding them altogether, except they are a useful indicator about an active discussion.
Could someone explain why this or similar projects are useful?
This is irrelevant. Even in a fully socialized healthcare system we would still want orgs and companies and the government looking at patient data to figure out better therapies. Just because the current data comes with price tags doesn't mean we should be stopping medical research on it.
In fairness, the government does not watch over your shoulder if you write code for payment apps. Nuclear energy oversight is so over-the-top, it's almost not worth doing it.
Funny, I always thought people did that for aesthetic reasons because they liked the cleaner look.

LoRa is interesting & I love it's capabilities, but it's also one of the most proprietary least accessible forms of wireless communication we could pick, and the whole market is powered by basically one company's chips. Lora is in many ways to me a nightmare scenario versus the values & exploration I am talking about, even though it enables new modalities.
Up until recently I did not know there was a way out from the Great Lakes into the ocean that does not involve going up North all the way through St. Lawrence. You can go through the Welland canal and shortcuts and end up going down South.
Wow, awesome. Thank you! Just the kind of thing I’m looking for :)

The problem they're trying to solve isn't "Writing apps in Swift is too hard". The problem is "Writing your apps twice is expensive and throttled by Apple's ecosystem". Most app purveyors will target iOS first because iOS users tend to be more affluent and willing to spend money. Google obviously doesn't like that for their own competitive reasons, but the rest of the market is also loathe to give Apple so much power over the app market that they can charge monopolistic fees. And since Apple has no interest in making it easy on everyone to work with their competitors, dev tool makers are forced to use hacks like react-native to meet their needs.

I'm pulling this from archive.org, because Tesla has removed this blogpost from their servers.

As recently as March, they kept this pro-Radar blogpost up. Only now are they purging this data from their archives. Fortunately, the Internet Archive remembers the history, so they won't find it so easy to rewrite history in their favor.
I think it's a little late to be able to buy that kind of time. Maybe if that was implemented a decade ago.

It seems many of the options are still small scale experiments or face energy storage issues... or have social issues like nuclear.
On second reading I see you may be right.

However my point still stands, somewhat: if 300Nm is insufficient to undo your wheelnuts, they're way too tight.
"There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen" - Lenin

The news is naturally geared towards impact events, like school shootings. It has a much harder time with slow, glacial change. It makes no sense to have a headline that, "Global warming continued today."

But sometimes that change is the big news and better explains many of the impact events. Were the news to report this kind of change, possibly the biggest headline these days would be, "The Death of the Petrodollar." It brings with it the end of US hegemony and a whole tidal wave of changes.

May you live in interesting times...

If I search for "Simpsons" in the TV app on my Apple TV 4K, the first option is "The Simpsons" TV show. I press that, I can then scroll through 32 seasons of the Simpsons and choose which episode I want to watch for $3.

If I search for "Sesame Street" in the TV app, the first option is "Sesame Street" TV show, which then leads to the HBO Max app from where I can watch all of the episodes.

If I search for the "The Office", the first option is the US series, which I can purchase for $3 each episode, and the second option is the UK series, which then leads me to HBO Max.

If I search for "Jaws", the first option is the first Jaws movie from 1975, which then opens up in HBO Max. Note that Apple does not ask me to purchase the Jaws movie, and instead offers to play it in HBO Max, since apparently HBO Max is currently streaming it.

According to IMDB, the top Bollywood Hindi movie of 2019 are these: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls025693373/

If I search for the top 3, I come up with nothing. The 4th, "Gully Boy" returns with an option to play on Amazon Prime.

Overall, I think as someone who was looking to watch something in the Hollywood/American universe, life is easier than it has ever been. There is probably room for improvement, especially in international titles, but I'm sure that is in the works.
I doubt anyone stands to gain much... Uncertainty is seems far worse than slightly better agriculture.

Especially, in countries where food is plentiful, and customers want organic produce... Why would 30% matter at all?

Why of course?
Indeed “global warning” is not much of a concern. CO2 levels aren’t even that concerning, both levels have been significantly higher in the past (and supported life), and pose minimal risk. We can adapt to it, but would cause some hardship. We are also exiting an ice age, who knows what’s really earths “norm” over hundreds of thousands of years.

My real concern are things like man made chemicals, pesticides. Which have made it into every component of our food and water supply. To put it in perspective, I have a very rural farm - no row crops for tens of miles. There are so few bugs it’s spooky. There are significantly fewer birds. My Bees die most years, even in warmer weather.

There’s also estrogen in our water ways, micro plastics, etc

The reason that’s the “real concern” is it can take out all humans very very quickly. Like a generation, where as global warming is survivable.

Mediterranean countries had artificial candle-or-whatever light with which to play upon spherical fruit dangling from trees, which otherwise in the daytime caught specular light glimmering through leaves.

Knowing the Earth was round, I don't find it hard to imagine that interested minds of the day picked a fruit and toyed with it in hand, squinting a bit and considering the implications.

> Meanwhile the people who don't care about safety because
> they're [never doing unsafe things]

This sounds an awful lot like suggesting that skilled users of firearms don't care at all about safety because no one's going to deliberately do stupid stuff. It seems farcical to me. Just as with firearm safety rules, they're there to protect people from the rare moments when we are inadvertently NOT careful. History has shown that people DO do stupid stuff because they were thinking about something else, or were tired, or distracted -- hence why every firearm is treated as loaded, even if you unloaded it, and why weapon safeties exist.

For table saws, having a sawstop helps prevent situations that you don't have fill control over from having bad consequences. Of course you'd still use all the same safety measures you normally would without one.
This would mostly benefit performance the first time some code is run, before v8 has a chance to gather runtime data and optimize it. Since all JS execution goes through this phase, this should make everything a little faster, but it will probably benefit short-lived processes (e.g, a website script) more than something like a bundler.
That article is mostly just a hard to read description of latitude, longitude and meridians. Didn't actually see anywhere that the point was made.
