Xenix (an official port of System 7) was available for Intel 286s from Microsoft. There were a number of Unix-like systems for 16 bit systems, and the Ancient Unixen were initially running on 16bit processors (notably the PDP-11). You can run 16bit unix in a simulator today.

Michael Levin: Anatomical decision-making by cellular collectives (2021)
One could add a side channel to tell it to fail certain calls. I'm doing a similar thing at work---I have a mock DB that runs with a side channel for the testing framework to tell the mock DB what to pass and what to fail (I should say I'm not testing the DB, but a program that talks to the DB).
Though, to be fair, Robinhood offers reasonably spreads.

They must execute client orders at a price as good as or better than the national best bid offer, if I understand correctly (Reg NMS [1]). Now, the firms that buy that order flow offer better (tighter) prices, an improvement over the NBBO, and what Robinhood does is take a cut of that improvement.

(Robinhood takes a larger cut than other brokers, fair enough, but those other brokers used to charge an additional flat fee. So, for small orders, you're better off with Robinhood, for large orders you're better off with a different broker. Note that this was the behaviour that triggered regulatory action a while ago, and the situation might look different now, given that other brokers also offer trades without commission. Either way, you should get executed at NBBO or better.)

You asked.me.if I thought we should be able to discriminate against certain groups. I said no, because it's illegal, and I don't want to get rid of that law.

If someone engages in speech I disagree with, I don't want the government to punish them for it. That does not mean I think bad speech should have no repercussions- I just think those repercussions should be in the private realm, in the hands of private citizens and private organizations.

In case it isn't clear, I'd sooner do away with all protected classes than add "Nazi" to the list.
HIRING | Around.co | Remote (US + EU)

Around is an early stage, Series A startup backed by Ryan Hoover, Naval Ravikant, Wing, Credo, Initialized Capital, Slack Fund, Floodgate, and Forerunner Ventures.

Video calls designed for energy, ideas, and action.
Video calls need to reflect a new era of working. That’s why we took video and made it less. Less traditional, less formal, less bulky, even less realistic. Less about blowing up people’s faces on a 70-inch HDTV, more about focusing and doing. Around is there for a quick session to supercharge all future-of-work applications. It’s just enough to be present but makes space for what’s important: the task at hand. Our sophisticated, AI-assisted audio technology developed over a period of 2 years completely transforms the possibilities and dynamics of a video call. Dedicated conference room equipment is no longer needed, and Around’s focused UX makes video calls fast and productive.

Our attempt at a Scratch-like language for our game creation app Modbox: https://docs.modboxgame.com/docs/mbscript

It's definitely allowed non-programmers to make complex AI/game state for their creations, without having to deal with syntax errors or other issues. We choose Scratch/Blocky since this would be used for more managing states/logic, rather than flowing data (where node based makes more sense)
Just because they raised 4 million dollars doesn't mean they are immune to a global supply chain shortage.

> There will always be loopholes that allow multi-national companies to avoid tax to some extent.

There will always be loopholes, but these loopholes will be harder to exploit, so while the solution is not perfect, it is (probably) better than what we have now.

> Wouldn't it be simpler to just set corporate tax rates to zero

I said probably, because there's an argument that it is good that large corporations pay zero taxes: it allows them to grow faster and sell goods worldwide, while the US still profits profits from high skilled workers income/shareholders income and generally faster economy growth.

> instead raise taxes on income and -- especially -- capital gains

Or maybe not raise taxes at all, but cut government spendings instead.
p and q are the same file now, but after you change current directory their are not. They should never be equal.
Xenix from SCO and Microsoft. At least it ran on a 286. Can't answer about the C ABI.
Not really surprising, radio only works if we all play by the rules. Even a small 5w transmitter up high enough can easily cover over 100 miles.

Most radio groups tend to be disaster recovery and communication adjacent so they care about infrastructure even if it's not directly on the ham bands.
I'm with you. I'd rather read and have an odd illustration than watch a video. Most of the time, when I watch a video it is reluctantly, because I can't find written information on the topic as easily as a video. But there are a very limited set of instructions that are better suited to video format, for example, cooking, working on a car or gardening.
Making an official complaint to the appropriate government enforcement agency is the exact opposite of “vigilantism”. Vigilantism would be hams deliberately crashing the drones with jammers, or something.

Should we gauge our actions and the actions of our leaders in the context of history? In the context of the times they were in?

Although I am a liberal, sometimes I fear that we are applying today's standards to yesterday's ethics and morals, which were admittedly flawed. I am not advocating that we forget and forgive the wrongs of the past - heck no! All I wonder is whether there is a better of way of teaching about our past than toppling statues and removing passages from our history. How about adding a conspicuous plaque that provides more information about a statue, a relic or an insignia?
These are different things. SmartScreen can be solved with a certificate. Being classified as a virus/malware is a separate process.
why would you have an unenjoyable hobby? that's so incompatible that it's not even helpful to think about it that way.

a business inherently involve transactions and this implies vastly more amount of responsibility.

Ask HN: Is a .NET Domain Bad?
At the SaaS company where I work we're having a fierce internal debate on .com versus .net and whether our using a .net domain is a hindrance.

FWIW, the .com version of our domain is in a completely different field, and so there's zero risk of confusion between the two domains.
Mindfulness, meditation, whatever. Just get perspective on your life seems like the big takeaway. My favorite instance of this in recent memory is from the show “Alone”, contestants attempt to survive in the arctic with basic tools for 100 days for a million dollars. One guy realized about 40 days in that his old self was worried about the money and his current self only cared about family, food, shelter, etc. He already had everything he wanted in life it just wasn’t apparent until he sat in a tent for 40 days living on fish haha.

I needed this in the past but didn't know of it! It seems convenient, because when you write km and kWh in some places and then just write 'k' behind another number that is simply a unit, it looks like you're missing something, or might have written Kelvin in lowercase, but really you mean a thousand units. Writing kU is then unambiguous. Not sure why `response to the proposal of the uno "had been almost entirely negative"` according to Wikipedia. Does anyone know more about that? It's not as if I need this daily, most times it's clear from context, but still I remember wishing for such a unit in the past.
I'm curious why this alone is such a problem? This is substantially better than many other companies at IPO.
Stablecoin insurance firm Bridge Mutual to protect against possible Tether depeg
Radios are exempt because the broadcasting station has already received a license for public performance. The station is conducting the public performance and not the equipment holder.

OTOH, when you purchase (technically, receive a license for) a song from, say, iTunes or Spotify, that license doesn't include a public performance right. That's the difference.
Why Mixcloud doesn’t offer on-demand video (VOD)
My guess is screen capture and free video hosting has made the documenting process easier than screen shots and carefully described steps.

It went up even inflation adjusted.

Share of income went down, but not the income. A median worker can buy more stuff than they could 30 years ago.

I heard that, but I still don't understand why you are not OK. You are richer than you would be 30 years ago.
Light hearted and fun. Would be interesting to see some data on keyword trends. The chat has been stuck on "Chris" for the last ~15 minutes because someone posted "Chris what is this?"
It’s nice for asynchronous programming. Promises or callbacks take some getting used to, but a block diagram is as transparent of an abstraction for asynchronous flow as it gets.
While I am rather cynical about manufacturers of all sizes and their attitudes towards customers, I agree with the GP.

If this is a common thing, this should be easy to replicate. If it is one unverified reported incident in the whole world then... I have to be skeptical.

Don't get me wrong though, my innate cynicism expects this or similar via 5G to be coming in the near future. But it doesn't appear to be happening yet.

To clarify, I was just trying to address the question of whether the magnitude is large, not the question of how to weigh the various trade-offs.
Pretty sure they're counting any crypto bought as revenue, which seems highly misleading.

Are they counting any stock purchased as revenue too? I don't understand the justification for that accounting at all. The profit on any transaction for them is 0 dollars, unless they're skimming on spreads or frontrunning or something else scammy.

Square does this as well, which is how they got "200%" revenue growth.

Correct me if I'm wrong.
Sync Inc | Platform Engineer, Product Engineer | Los Angeles or Remote (US-only) | https://syncinc.so

Integrating with third-party platforms has looked the same for the past 15+ years: bespoke and limited JSON APIs. Want to help change that?

At Sync Inc, we let developers query their data from third-party APIs without leaving their database. In a couple clicks, you can sync data in real-time from platforms like Stripe or Airtable right to your production database.

We launched in December 2020 with Airtable as our first platform. Just launched Stripe a couple weeks ago. We’ve made spectacular progress and we’re already working with some amazing companies. Backed by David Sacks/Craft Ventures.

We're looking for our second founding engineer to join us on the journey. This is a special time: you’ll play an instrumental role in shaping everything from our culture, to our engineering workflow, to our process design/architecture. Really fun and interesting challenges ahead.

For our Platform Engineer position, we primarily build in Elixir/Phoenix, but no prior experience with Elixir is required. For our Product Engineer position, you'll learn some Elixir but also work a lot on our React/Tailwind front-end.

Find out more about us on our jobs page: https://syncinc.so/careers

Any questions, feel free to reach out to me directly. Email in bio. Tell me about the most impressive thing you've ever built, software or not.
And yet people pay it routinely every day which is probably why Big V’s probably not afraid of upping the wholesale rate secure that the Amazon and the like are the one’s most likely to eat their own margins to not lose customers due to a consumer facing price hike.
Yeah I learned that from a friend many years ago, 9 times out of 10 of a refrigerator is acting funny, turning it off for a few hours to let the ice melt will solve the problem. Most of the time if that doesn't work you need a new compressor and you're better off buying a new refrigerator. Sometimes it is some strange electrical issue but those are rare.
That's ok, though; the US hardly sees any malaria, and the cases that do present here are typically contracted in other countries. It can spread here, and we shouldn't be complacent, but the US isn't where a vaccine is needed.
Do you have a suggestion how we can make the people blasting down the highway at 200mph pay for sequestering carbon, without making everyone pay for it?

SEEKING WORK | EU / UK-based | On-demand, targeted SRE expertise

I provide short-term (1-2 weeks) SRE consulting services focused on solving specific operational problems in emergency or high-pressure situations. I deal with all aspects of systems engineering and SRE / DevOps processes, as well as with strategic and evaluation needs.

My expertise is based on 30 years of hands-on technical experience in all areas of IT, but especially in making complex systems work efficiently and reliably.

Examples of work I've done for clients:

- Implementing multi-level cloud redundancy
- Tracking down performance bottlenecks
- Stabilisation of complex applications
- Validation of new projects before production
- Intelligent logging & monitoring
- Effective dashboarding and alerting
- Tool selection & best practices

I have extensive experience in a wide range of SRE / DevOps / SysAdmin tools, most AWS and Azure services (at a global level), and many data processing technologies like Kafka, Spark, Storm, Solr, Elasticsearch, Redis, Hadoop, etc.

I hear what you are saying, and it makes a certain amount of sense for projects that survive on donations (possibly hard to implement due to the fungible nature of $$, but whatever)

However, Mozilla's revenue is mostly from search engine deals, no? If it is true that the Mozilla foundation is under control of people with goals not aligned with the mission to drive forward open internet, I am not sure what can be done? (Not saying this is true, but there have been a lot of grumbling about it)

Perhaps Mozilla's lasting contribution to the world will be as an apocryphal story, warning others of the dangers of ignoring/neglecting core competencies.
Effort is a resource, it takes a lot of work to change things so it absolutely makes sense to have some discipline, create a prioritized list and focus on the things with the most yield.

Too often people jump on the first thing they see and also ignore externalities. How many frustrated autobahn drivers will oppose CO2 reduction efforts elsewhere?
Some of my friends use Xero.

Shameless plug of my take on rethinking visual programming couple of years ago: https://divan.dev/posts/visual_programming_go/
That still sounds better than constant GHG emissions to me, even if it's not perfect. If you have numbers that show differently (perhaps the cut-off point as you scale up from electric bike to airplane lies right at large or fast cars?) I'd be happy to learn that I'm wrong, though.

Have you tried Microsoft Clarity?

I think this is why you don't store the encryption key of the disk directly in the TPM but a "key to unlock the key" - that way you can enter a recovery code or something to access if the TPM or something in the boot path fails. I don't know how the encryption mechanics work in detail but it has to work like that somehow for Bitlocker recovery to function. I know under Linux LUKS you can have up to 8 keys and each will allow access to the disk.

------

About me: Nearly 5 years experience as a full stack developer. That includes building internal business applications from the ground up (GUI's, backend API's, and server administration), CLI's, and web sites.

I have a background in graphic design (10+ years), which tends to give me a leg up in GUI development. Most of the applications I've built have been of the smaller, monolithic variety. In the spirit of new challenges, and further developing my skill set, I'm quite interested in working on larger, distributed systems.

Currently pursuing full time positions. Prefer technical interviews that are closer to actual projects (take-home is fine) to leetcode puzzles.
