> Anyone have any idea what are the oldest computers presently in continuous use?

Voyager 1 and 2 are good candidates. In the end, they'll probably shut off because their generators won't provide enough power to operate their computers after 50 years or so.
>TANSTAAFL can be summarized as "everything is a zero-sum game"

Nothing about TANSTAAFL implies what you claim it does and I am quite perplexed how anyone could read this into it. Must be the ideological specs.
That’s interesting because I had a credit card at 16 (it was on my parent’s account).
I did not know that. Is it this?

Yeah, just disable the loader if you don't like it. Kinda unfair to call the whole system unfree for just being able to load non-free software.
I thought that worked with Chrome as well? Or did Chrome disable that API? Yes, uBO is a huge thing as well.

AVR can run at 5V and has 10mA drive on it's pins. Sometimes that matters for what you need to interface with. The newer chips with integrated USB have nice features like a high speed 64MHz timer and the serial port is free of conflicts.
Look up Nubank and Datomic. You'll have an aneurysm.

(Edit: to be clear, I'm agreeing with you)
If your users are saying "stop messing with the language, we're no longer developing in it" you may want to consider why.

There's a reason Linus does his hardest to avoid ever changing the user-facing kernel APIs (never break userspace). When you're a young language (Rust) you can get away with breaking API changes and your users will go along with it (often because they're asking for features they need to use the language) but at some point you cross the line where there's more code written than still to write.
Might be worth looking at median rather than average. Or even some target percentile. My impression is that the bandwidth available to the top quartile of users has increased at a much faster rate than the bandwidth available to the third and fourth quartiles.

For example, last year I moved to a new neighborhood with a different (and wider) of internet service providers. My effective (as measured by actual, not advertised, speed) increased by two orders of magnitude at the same time that my monthly Internet service bill dropped by ~15%.

It was a particularly noticeable change for me because it made the difference between me having a pleasant experience using my company's product from home, and my company's product being simply unusable from my home.

(But don't mention that to our front-end developers or they'll just get in a huff about the modern web and people needing to get with the times. As if the lack of fiber in my [urban] neighborhood were somehow a choice that I made for myself.)
If empty you can more readily find another tenant, perhaps at a lower price?
So... looks like it's using ES256. How long would it take to factor the private key?
Follow the narrator in a documentary series you can find on Netflix or Apple-Tv. Hope you find the voice that resonates with your target audience.
I have the opposite interpretation. Only this class of people was actually able to "not participate in society" for 18 months:

> I don't hear people on HN who want to continue working remotely being accused of being neurotic or being molly-coddled, and they get get paid well and have very good work conditions.

By "this class of people" I don't literally mean people on HN but people in the typical yuppie lines of work.

Someone who's actually working class has not had the luxury of doing so. Even if you got every stimulus check that covered maybe 10% of the expenses over the last 1.25 years. So the people who could stay inside indefinitely either never lost their job (transitioned to remote or already worked remote pre-pandemic), or they lost their job but had such a massive nest egg that they were able to weather it.

Actual working-class people have not been sheltering inside for 18 months. In my opinion it's unhealthy to do so, so I'm not alleging that it would be a good thing if the working class hid inside too, but rather that the "I'm not ready to return to normal" crowd is driven by neuroticism and a crippling fear of life itself rather than it being some actual necessary result of this respiratory virus pandemic.

Great, then the honest tenants have to subsidize everyone else...
If the extension cannot access the network to send data anywhere, what's the worse that could happen in that scenerio?

Obviously some extensions have good reason to use the network, and there's no easy solution there. Some extensions change a color them on a page and that's it, I wish those could be denied internet access.
Not quite sure if I follow what you're saying. As in Tasmota/Berry do or do not do more than provide I2C/SPI?

> If one wants to do serious stuff they would use an appropriate RTOS and program it in C.

It's unfortunate, but still largely appears to be the case. I find C very time consuming to program, so I ported Nim to FreeRTOS [1]. It's _very_ nice being able to go from writing highly optimized ISR functions to high level JSON parsing in one language. Add in defaulting to memory safety but with no pause-the-world GC. I tried Rust but it seems more difficult to integrate into existing world RTOS'es, flashers, Swagger debuggers, etc.

Though, I've been curious what running a WASM VM would be like? One could integrate any language: C++, C, Nim, Rust, etc. Would be interesting.

> MongooseOS does more than this if we're talking ESP32, also other devices, Javascript, C, C++, commercial support, cloud based OTA upgrades and integration with AWS, Azure, Google and IBM Watson IoT cloud services.

MongooseOS does seem interesting, but very targeting a niche market with prebuilt needs? For future RTOS'es I think ZephyrOS [2] has a lot of potential given it's now supported by NXP [3], TI, and others but is independent of any given (cloud) vendors or other IoT companies. Some might not like the CMake based build system, but in my view all the RTOS build systems are terrible in their own special way.

Neat experiment! Nice of them to make the code available. I’d be interested to hear more about the logistics of running it for the participants. Would be fun to do one locally.

One question - I noticed one of the tasters said “Knack.” twice in the comments. As an American, I’m not familiar with that word being used this way. Is this just a way of saying “Clever” or something like that?
Speaking of which, has anyone created a 3D printable case for these? The one they ship with is horrible.
You bring your own! Which IMHO makes it even better.

You can tell your opponent ‘oi your turn!’ using your preferred platform.
redtube you say? redtube.com is a porn site.

Its a poor product naming with google. I'd imagine that's going to make for some consternation.
This. A great way to reduce the cost of your chip is to add SRAM to it. I'm not joking.

Looks like the website should soon be updated as well.
After using it for a couple of hours the new version is super annoying. It takes more time and effort to find a tab, everything is less legible. What could possibly be the point of this?? Look more like Chrome?

If I want something that looks like Chrome I can use Chrome. It's not like it's more expensive or anything...
That would be COPPA.

> In 2019, the Government of the State of New York sued YouTube for violating COPPA by illegally retaining information related to children under 13 years of age. YouTube responded by dividing its content strictly into "for kids" and "not for kids". This has met with extremely harsh criticism from the YouTube community, especially from gamers, with many alleging that the FTC of the United States intends to fine content creators $42,530 for "each mislabeled video", possibly putting all users at risk.[58][59][60] However, some have expressed skepticism over this, feeling that the fines may actually be in reference to civil penalties, possibly intended for the site's operators and/or warranted by more serious of COPPA violations or specific cases of "mislabeling videos."[61][62][63] As of July 2020, nobody has got the $42k fine.[64]

"Company culture" does not arise from physical presence. I've been at this for a long time, and have worked for all types of companies: mandated office presence, flexible WFH, and fully remote. All had company cultures, and the worst were the ones that forced people into an office. Being together in an office does not do anything productive. It does not create camaraderie or a culture, and the mythical hallways conversations that you hear about do not actually happen.

> it is a new challenge that doesn't have a lot of good understanding around how to make it work.

It's been going on for decades now. Time to catch up. Good WFH culture is matter of effective management. Skills required:

- good communication (knowing how to use the tools we have, like IM, video, and yes, even email)

- being responsive (this is a habit that must be cultivated in many cases)

- focus on goals and achievements instead of distractions like seeing someone in a hallway and assuming that if they seem to be working, they must be working

I think it’s needed when the collateral for the loan is something that doesn’t yet exist. If you were to put up something other than your yet to be constructed home as the collateral you could do without a draw schedule. The bank is rightfully concerned that you build your house to the level you described in the plans so that they can recoup their money if you some day default.

This is just one case of the chain of “logic” so many people seem to make with software, for some reason:

- I got your code for free

- I set up Really Important Things using it

- I have contributed nothing to you, for years now

- I have also invested nothing in maintaining my Really Important Things (e.g. it is no one’s job at the company)

- How dare you change anything!!
Apple TV/Music has music videos too, but it's a different kind of lock in with them.
This isn't a very good summary of how the language evolved.

D has basically always had the ability to not use the GC, it's only recently that we've taken an interest in replacing C. The GC has been written in D for a very long time, that wouldn't be the case if the language didn't allow manual memory from day 1.

BetterC is a nice-to-have rather than a language dialect.

Having a GC is an absolute godsend for getting clean code out of the door quickly.
Huh, for me the speaker icon doesn't show unless I mouseover the tab. So I can't see which tab is playing at all. And the Muted/un-muted icons are almost identical.
I'll let someone else reap the 15% extra productivity or w/e office working adds. Knock yourselves out.

For me there's no turning back. The cat is out of the barn and the horse out of the bag. That ship has sailed and it hit the iceberg. The fat lady sang her swan song.

> I wonder what it would take to break them.

Having Android apps could help with people who use an Android device to watch videos on their TV. And if Google does not authorize these kinds of apps on the playstore I think it is more than time to start on an abuse of dominant position suit.
When interviewing with a company who demands commuting say, "I value my time as I'm sure you do. I will commute if required but I charge a premium for my commuting time. My rate is $x/hr and since I will be commuting 2 hours a day, 5 days a week, an estimated 48 weeks (accounting for holidays, vacation, sick, etc...) a year then I request you increase my salary by $x * 2 * 5 * 48."

I say that partially in jest because, of course, no employer is going to increase your salary by $48K simply because you value your commuting time at $100/hr (a reasonable rate if you're in tech). Still, I think it's a useful way to gain a perspective on just how valuable one's time really is to them.
Cortx | Senior Machine Learning Engineer - Deep Learning (and many other roles!) | Baltimore, Maryland | Onsite, Full-time

Cortx is a profitable, stable, and growing artificial intelligence startup that is building an NLP product that automatically writes content about any subject with the same level of quality, factual accuracy, and usefulness as a human. This product already has thousands of monthly paying subscribers and our MRR has been growing by 10% month over month.

You would be at the intersection of research and production code - taking our research roadmap and helping make it a reality. You will be helping our AI team take nascent research concepts and turn them into state of the art natural language generation. You will be constantly ingesting research papers, building prototypes, and later turning those prototypes into production code.

Our work almost exclusively involves very heavy deep learning (transformers) and we primarily use PyTorch.

You will be working directly with our Founder/CEO (me!), who is leading the AI team, both as a manager and an individual contributor.

We sponsor all visas, including H1B and Green Card, and we pay market rates for SF/NYC despite being located in an area with a significantly cheaper cost of living.

If you have done work with transformers for text generation, information retrieval, or text style transfer (and especially if it has advanced SOTA), we would be very interested in talking with you.

In addition to the Senior Machine Learning Engineer role above, we are also hiring for the following roles:

* Senior Full Stack Engineer

* Customer Success Specialist

* Director of Operations

Interested? We want to hear from you! Please send resume, Github, or LinkedIn to jobs@blackbird.us. I am a founder so ask me anything! If there are other aspects of what we do that interest you definitely still hit me up!
I'm not sure to be honest, but for sure they were not involved in WW2 as much as other allies, and also I'm certain that the middle class in Denmark and Finland have very humble incomes/lives compared to for example the UK or US.

Is a startup that has a new CEO and new leadership a red flag?
I'm interviewing for a startup who appointed a new CEO 2 months ago. They are bringing on new leadership as well such as a Head of Product. The startup has Series D funding.
What do you mean 'allowed' (Im not being snarky, honestly curious please take the question as not an attack)? The creators just sold it, private company, private service they could have sold it to anyone they wanted. I think in hindsight they regret selling it to FB, but it's really hard to turn down billions of dollars.
_solr perhaps you have the link to the video your interested in?
Sadly, the number of people who want 3.5" screens is very small these days. I suspect the die was cast when Asian women (despite stereotypically having more petite hands) voted with their wallets for large (5", 6"+) phones.

Smaller phones sell less well, this is borne out by sales figures across geographies and brands, to the point where even the iPhone mini is 5.2" -- it would considered humongous back in 2007.

So yes, while I sympathize (and I have small hands myself), I think it's a losing battle, like CD vs MP3. Personally I've just adapted to the iPhone 11 size.
