really wish there was a “Literature Extension,” actually specifically for HN

love this website & audience but am doing work in the “building copyleft storytelling” space - a community of which does not yet seem to exist

but wait a sec - what “building copyleft storytelling” even mean except for sounding like some make believe fantasy thing?

by vision rn it’s something like coding but with respect to allowing a new community of creators to grow / develop via effectively “using” (fan-fiction-ing”) a copyleft creators work for new & original creation of

- story

- character

- plot

available for anyone to create w & sell commercial on the basis that they likewise license their work as copyleft Creative Commons CC BY-SA & link-to/credit original source work

https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/

i.e

this week am actually releasing signature characters from 3 vol of my free 2 read copyright short story series as copyleft / Creative Commons (CCBYSA) “copyleft character personas” anyone can create w/ (w license & link to credit source)

- NFT art (imagine a cryptopunk with a backstory)

- new orginal story ft copyleft character

- develop copyleft world build

will this be a use-case for crypto ecosystem? i.e ETH for Art/Character/Copyleft world-building?

if no, then what about when considering the “attention-economy”?

if curious about, short story series can be found here - https://blondyn.com

& almost daily superstrings here:
http://superstrings.substack.com

for the record, if one vote can count, i do not mean this reply to come off as a shameless “post-selfie” but a legitimate “idea-pitch” from a HN regular of about 5 yrs who is “a writer” that is having difficulty finding an audience which == real bad kinda (sweat-drop + smile emoji goes here;)

also real bad is having zero folk / friends to talk about such an idea with

if this post still makes peeps mad just know just saw this link & the Cheshire post reply on “Art & Music” & imagined “Storytelling” could maybe fit in there as a neat 3rd thus thought to make like Wonderland /share something that ought at a minimum count as curious while simultaneously in quest to be mindful

also if such a copyleft storytelling community does exist pls share thx
Even with the example you mentioned - cmd+backspace 5 times vs. "5dd" - I'm surprised that you can't see why some people would prefer the latter. (Also, if you're on the last line, I think "4dk" works.)

What is wrong with people? It’s not like he wants crappy Electron w/Javascript to replace desktop with all its flaws! He acknowledges the main issues for webapps and proposes solutions.

OP, if you’re reading this, I’m sorry you had to go through that.

EDIT: misread. Still doesn’t justify any of the hate.
I'm relatively new to web development but how were you able to get a link to this JavaScript code?

I thought this logic was usually done in the backend and can't be viewed from the front? E.g. right click > view source in Chrome only shows HTML and some frontend JS doesn't it?
Practical Idealism: UC’s Approach to Open Access
Ironically, given the context of this discussion, those people whose bodies maintain a higher differential (what you called poor circulation) are more efficient at maintaining their core temperature in other circumstances.

For example, you are out walking on cold ground. Your feet get cold while your core stays warm. This is ideal for keeping heat in your core. You may survive where those with "good" circulation would lose heat too fast.

Although this may be due to lower rate of blood circulation, there is another effect independent of circulation rate.

Heat-exchanger effects along limbs depending on the layout of your veins and arteries, which varies among people. The extreme example is penguins, whose feet are on ice yet their bodies retain heat because of heat exchange as blood circulates in their legs. It maintains a temperature differential along the legs. I'm not suggesting people have specific anatomical structure like penguins, rather I'm saying the natural variation in the placement of veins and arteries in human limbs will result in a range of heat-exchange factors among different people, which is a separate factor from circulation rate, and may indicates a thermally efficient body for some situations.
> I guess I don't know why the user would be betting on interleavings which I never said I could guarantee.

Same reason people walk outside without bodyguards and "bet" on coming back home alive despite the fact that nobody ever gave them such a guarantee. It's not insane to expect the future to bear some kind of resemblance to the past without some contract to guarantee it, is it?
It has the GB legacy sound and two 8-bit PCM channels (stereo wave output basically). It is definitely worse than the SNES - however, because of how fast the ARM is (relatively speaking) it has no problem doing software mixing to provide developers with effectively 4, 6 and even 8 channels of PCM audio for soundtracks and effects. Not as smooth sound, but totally sufficient.
"The strongest legacy of Lisp in the Julia language is its metaprogramming support. Like Lisp, Julia represents its own code as a data structure of the language itself."

Can I pick up my stylus and use the drawing skills I've spent ~20y on honing to draw stuff with anything like Illustrator's pencil tool, or does this only let me draw basic shapes/import stuff from elsewhere?

I would have downloaded it and answered this question for myself but the "make an account before downloading" step made me roll my eyes and get back to work.
I try to remind myself that Ferris started out in marketing (as I recall) and it shows - he’s an aggressive self promoter. Even so, some of his guests are excellent and I enjoy his themes and topics.
From the article: “My heart was broken because Common Lisp is such a fine fine language and it is a joy to work in and hardly anyone uses it in industry. The industry has a lot of code in Java even when it takes much less time to write code in Lisp. What happened to the programmer’s time is more important than the machine’s?”

I think one issue that Common Lisp and many other programming languages face is that while a programmer’s time is more valuable than a machine’s, there are dynamics at play when maintaining commercial software projects that favor coding in more popular languages, such as the ability to easily hire developers knowledgeable in the language and/or paradigm. For example, imagine being a manager of a project written in Haskell that liberally uses functional programming concepts such as monads. It’s easier to hire developers knowledgeable in standard procedural or object-oriented programming languages than it is to find developers knowledgeable in functional programming, and getting a non-FP programmer up to speed on functional programming requires training, which takes time and money.

I love languages like Common Lisp, Scheme, and Smalltalk. However, if I’m working on a team project and my teammates don’t know these languages, then I choose a more common language like Python. Programming is more than just expressing computation; it’s also about communication, and one major purpose of language is to communicate with others.
Not to mention that for scheduled procedures nearly every doctor will require their own imaging for 40-50k a pop at list price before even discussing treatment options and cost.
The Concorde was inflation adjusted $12,900 round trip and failed miserably.

It feels like every 10 years we bail out airlines when we hit a bad recession.

I would really question how much of a business model there will be for this at this price point once you don't make a headline by just taking a flight on it.
Counterpoint to the "alone"/"trup sitter" thing - If you are prone to feeling socially anxious, if you trust yourself more than other people, amd if you trust yourself to avoid dangerous/embarassing situations - It's possible that having people around specifically tasked to observe your mental state might be more harm that help.

Personally I can think of one psychedelic experience that became very unpleasant (though educational!) simply because I felt the people around me thought I was insane.
No, this was my 1st toastmasters session & was a drop-in. I gave 2 impromptu session speeches.
I’m not sure one will eat the other. The two will converge. The technologies typical of desktop apps like GPU acceleration, type safe languages, AoT compilation, multithreading etc - all of those things have rather recently moved from being somewhat or entirely desktop exclusive, to being on the web.

With novel means of deploying sandboxed apps the line will continue to blur.
The EU Commission is a cabinet, not a parliament.

Get back to us when you can vote directly for cabinet in your country. I'm betting you vote for parliament, just like the rest of us, and then that appoints a cabinet. Why should the EU be any different?
You're welcome. Too bad I got downvoted for it.
Do those sites have fraudulent affiliate marketing programs?

It sounds to me like they are over edges MLM companies are careful not to cross. I.e. they probably don't know if they could legally pay the "influencer" they are chatting with an affiliate fee.
>"The only ancient culture to develop a word for blue was the Egyptians — and as it happens, they were also the only culture that had a way to produce a blue dye."

That doesn't seem consistent with the Wikipedia entry on woad dye [0] (blue [1]), which mentions woad-dyed textiles found, e.g. at a German site dated to 530 BCE. (?)

edit: Also Herodotus uses words that were translated as "blue" (accurately?), for example describing a palace in Media (in modern Iran) [2]:

>"On this wall the battlements are white, of the next black, of the third scarlet, of the fourth blue, the fifth orange; all these colors with paint."

(I wonder is this was the same blue chemistry as the Ishtar Gate of Babylon, which survives today and is in fact blue, very blue, extremely, shockingly blue [3]).

edit edit: Herodotus' wording of the above is "τετάρτου δὲ κυάνεοι" [4], which is an inflection of "κυάνεος" [5], which is glossed as "dark", "dark-blue"; and in the references section "azure", "blue", and "cerulean". The etymology links to "κύανος", which going forwards is the etymological root for "cyan"; and going backwards is possibly the same word ancient Hitties used for "precious stone" and "copper". (Note the extremely ancient blue pigment azurite [7] is simply a natural copper ore).

Being European I think they will pay even less attention to me than they would to their constituents. Hearing aids are expensive on this side of the Atlantic as well though - although less expensive than in the USA - so it is still worth finding a way to open up this market. Just like intrepid hackers managed to turn routing appliances into versatile network components by creating OpenWRT, DD-WRT and similar "hacks" it would be refreshing to see something like this happening by someone creating new firmware for earbuds. While this would not be a real solution - hearing aids need longer battery life than earbuds for starters - it would give lie to the defence of high hearing aid prices. Any earbud with active noise cancellation probably has enough DSP capacity to implement the equaliser necessary to function as a hearing aid so the hardware should be available for such a hack.

There was an IndiGogo project aiming to produce 2-in-1 earbuds/hearing aids, it was funded in 15 minutes...

Julia has a fair amount in common with Lisp, especially with macros.

You can use metaprogramming to edit the AST of a Julia program, like Lisp. See https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/metaprogramming/
Shared maybe, but the view layer is quite different between react native and regular react on the Web.
I agree, but I still enjoy some of his guests. His podcast can serve as a good stepping stone to other great people.
An example of "classic style" CLI would be ImageMagick:

convert infile.png -dither FloydSteinberg -colors 64 outfile.gif

"Git style" would instead be something like

convert dither --algorithm FloydSteinberg --colors 64 infile.png outfile.gif
> It's not insane to expect the future to bear some kind of resemblance to the past without some contract to guarantee it, is it?

Well you used the example of a car and I think it would be insane to use a component in a car when the manufacturer tells you it's not designed to do that and I can't possibly guarantee that's going to work just because you think you tested it and it seemed fine.

that's also my impression after reading his book on psychedelics. interesting and eloquent but also shallow and generic.
Casting the pointer passed to memset has no effect. The compiler knows what the storage pointed-to is: a temporary object. The compiler knows that memset does not allow a pointer to the object to escape from view. So, it can eliminate the call.

Calling C11's memset_s, or MS's SecureZeroMemory, or FreeBSD's explicit_bzero, has the effect, to the compiler, of making the object observable, so that operations on it will not be optimized away. There is no way to express this locally within the language; you must rely on facilities provided by a Standard or your platform, or on the dodgy linkage trick cited elsewhere.
Probably that it uses subcommands, e.g. git apply.
THTR-300 is an example why there's a large gap between concept and commercially proven reactor design. The THTR-300 was a huge disappointment, with major, showstopping design flaws. The Gen IV concepts being bandied about now will have to go through a long, drawn out process of technical maturation before any large scale deployment can occur.
Talk about 7 guys writing an article and completely missing the point. Of course EC2 will be cheaper on raw direct cost. Serverless saves by eliminating ops and allowing dynamic scaling.

So you can focus on more important things like innovating for your customers, BBVA.
This intrigues me, mostly because my mom works for Google and that's all she has for work and it looks painful to me. Granted, I've not used a Chrome OS laptop, but I greatly prefer a desktop app to a web app. And I don't think I could get by having to use Google Docs instead of Microsoft Office. I've tried to do that on my computer and really disliked the experience.

Also, what does R, J, and M mean in your library spreadsheet?
volatile is a type qualifier and can be casted.

However, memset's declaration takes a void* which prevents you from passing a volatile void*. casting or not won't change anything in this case because what matters is what memset takes and not what the pointer's fully qualified type is prior to calling memset.

From the compiler's perspective, you're passing a non-volatile pointer to memset which makes it a candidate for elimination if the pointer's lifetime ends after memset call.
Next.js is built on top of React, FYI! https://nextjs.org
I have designed and commercially released an open source (USB) oscilloscope.

There is absolutely no reason you can't just add more RAM (and a memory controller), or even add user upgradeable memory. If the big players don't do it, a newcomer will and they'll fall further behind the curve.
What about $8664000.00? I made it slightly longer. I can add some more zeroes.
The web is not eating the desktop.

Instead, cross platform development is "eating" the desktop.
AFAIK Keysight MegaZoom uses ASICs with on-chip sample memory, so that's why it's relatively limited. You can get oscilloscopes with more conventional architecture with FPGA connected to boatloads of external DRAM, but it comes with other tradeoffs. (usually much lower wfm/s)
Number 4 hits too close to home. Great list.
Just Chrome dev tools, either the debugger or the network tab. It is front-end code.

Normally, yeah, you wouldn't see individual purchase data in front-end code...that would be backend code returning just json/xml/whatever that the browser would consume.

That it's hardcoded in the client is why it's funny and obviously fake data.
1. The parent comment is referring to waste in the environmental sense. Nature does not care how expensive the trash was--just the volume/composition
2. It's a big stretch to call AirPods "disposable" I (and many others) keep them for years. In the long run everything is rubbish; an expensive electronic device that lasts for years and years is not "disposable"
Betteridge's law of headlines strikes again :)
Should have a [2017] appended to the title. When I first saw the title I thought "You're a bit late", but when I clicked on the article and saw it was from Dec. 2017 I thought this is just around the time I felt like that tipping point was reached.
USA Yesterday, soon enough
State labor boards can be extremely harsh on these cases. It could have been as simple as making a report to your state’s labor agency and letting them handle it. If nothing else, it sends a message to the company that they can’t get away with it.

I’m sure the time has long passed for you, but it’s worth noting for any other people reading this who might end up in similar circumstances.
I’m generally pretty selective of what I listen to, and I try to by critical of what I hear, so the idea of being bothered by what I hear isn’t too crazy. There are definitely episodes/casts/whatever where I hear things and come away disappointed.

You’re probably right though; if what Pollan said elicited a response, he probably shouldn’t have said it. I’m wondering why he did, now. It wasn’t a very entertaining account by any means.
Do people really expect that?
The first of those is simply talking about REEs as tracers. This is a common practice in geochemistry.

The other two are not talking about any current mining. Seafloor mining has been discussed for decades, and generally has gone nowhere.
One advantage of using Next.js is you can have the same React application for your entire application (marketing pages, dashboard pages, docs, etc) since it supports all rendering types (server rendering, static generation, client-side).

It also has a built-in router, instead of having to pull in an NPM package, as well as many optimizations to make your app faster (image, font, and script optimizations).

The lobbying to:

B. Limit number of residencies
very likely, if you take a sort of long historical view then it's I think intuitive to predict that the ark of computing bends towards greater and greater connectivity, and the web is the basic infrastructure for that. Hardware and operating systems just become details and everyone hooks into the matrix pretty much.

The piece is from 2017 but it's pretty prescient when it recommends web based interfaces as a way for linux to leapfrog into that world. Reminds me of Flutter being adopted by Ubuntu recently which does very well as a web/desktop/mobile platform.
I had a similar problem with a furniture company that became unreachable. Using legal but maybe unethical means, I got the CEO’s office number, and when that didn’t work, I called him on his cell. Problem got resolved within the hour. It made me realize that there are probably a lot of CEOs out there mostly out of touch with their company’s.

The usual retort is "people use Electron because they only know web technologies".

No, it's not only that.

I've been programming GUI apps for 30 years, going through TurboVision, Delphi, MFC, WinForms, wxWidgets, Qt, WPF, native Android/iPhone, and probably 2 more I forgot about.

They all suck terribly when compared to React/Vue/HTML/CSS.

Creating a GUI app with web tech it's just so much more productive. It's like comparing the productivity of Python to C++. Sure, you can't write an audio editor in Python/Electron, but for 90% of GUI apps it makes no sense to use native frameworks. They are as productive and expressive as writing in assembly.
I have a problem where I can’t find a Solution. Maybe anyone here has an hint for me.
I had an selfhosted owncloud carddav server wish dosent exist anymore. I used it for my contacts on my iPhone. These are now only stored locally but still internally in the owncloud account. When I delete the old owncloud carddav server then the iPhone will delete all contacts. I tested it when I bought a new iPhone and after setting it up with a transfer of all data I tester it on the old phone before I resettet it.
I want to migrate my contacts to iCloud but I can’t find a clean way for doing this. Every app I testet messed up some aspects of the contacts. Mostly the picture or custom fields. Does anybody has a hint for me how I can comfortably and error free migrate away from this non existent owncloud carddav to icloud? Thanks in advance. :)
Sigh. What about my subsequent example? About walking outside with a bodyguard despite the lack of a guarantee you'd stay safe?
> That's a tad bit too simplified.

Pet peeve: "tad bit". A tad is a bit, so either "that's a tad too simplified" or "that's a bit too simplified", but not both.

Sorry, it's just... That stuff like this bothers the shit out of me.
Since the gui-fication of everything, nothing has made making a gui easier than web apps. The reason I like it is because of the cross platform capabilities. I don't have to worry about compiling for different platforms. I don't need to worry about platform specific issues. It's the ultimate form of portable code honestly nowadays.
Blitz feels like beta software, but I agree it makes the whole React single page development experience really nice.
So SF would be dead last, presumably?
I don't get why you're sighing at me when I'm answering your questions politely. If you don't like my replies feel free to stop asking me questions.

Your example about going outside isn't covered by a technical specification with a long list of guarantees formally agreed between two parties so I don't really see how it's comparable.
Some thoughts:

1. Every new product designed should have a cost associated to it for proper disposal. Thus total cost of ownership is a "green cost" which is not just acquisition but also proper disposal.

2. Another option is to put burden of mandatory proper recycling back on the original manufacturer of the product using the same supply-chain that is used for sales. Thus consumers should be able to drop electronics at retail store -> supplier -> manufacturer, eventually leading to proper disposal.

3. Incentives from government and/or from culture for manufacturers whose products support R2R (Right to Repair). Thus encouraging reuse and refurb market.

4. Certify for and incentivize towards extending Total life of equipment. e.g. low-durability electronics carry a low-durability tax.
