Note that the idea of "6th planet" implies the ancients had placed the Earth in the 3rd rock position, which is news. It has nothing to do with a positional order.

Saturn is the alchemical Lead, with symbol: .

But speaking of "syncronicity", consulting my copy of C. G. Jung's Alchemical Studies, on pages 226-8 he writes:

"But the most important of all for an interpretation of Mercurius is his relation to Saturn. Mercurius senex is identical with Saturn, and to the earlier alchemists especially, it is not quicksilver, but the lead associated with Saturn, which usually represents the prima materia. In the Arabic text of the Turba quicksilver is identical with the 'waters of moon and Saturn'. In the 'Dicta Belini', Saturn says: 'My spirit is the water that loosens rigid limbs of my brothers'. This refers to the 'eternal water' which is just what Mercurius is. [...] Like Mercurius, Saturn is hermaphroditic. Saturn is 'an old man on a mountain, in him the natures are bound with their complement [i.e. the four elements], and all this is in Saturn'. [...] the Gnostic teaching [is] that Kronos (Saturn) is a 'power of the colour of water' which destroys everything, since 'water is destruction'.

"Like the planetary spirit of Mercurius, the spirit of Saturn is 'very suited to this work'. One of the manifestations of Mercurius in the alchemical process of tranformation is the lion, now green and now red. Khunrath calls this transformation "luring the lion out of Saturn's mountain cave'. From ancient times the lion was associated with Saturn. Khunrath calls him the 'lion of the Catholic tribe', paraphrasing the 'lion of the tribe of Judah' -- an allegory of Christ. He calls Saturn 'the lion green and red'. In Gnosticism Saturn is the highest archon, the lion-headed Ialdabaoth, meaning 'Child of Chaos'. But in alchemy the child of chaos is Mercurius.

"The relation to and identity with Saturn is important because Saturn is not only a maleficus but actually the dwelling place of the devil himself. Even as the highest archon and demiurge his Gnostic reputation was not the best. According to one Catholistic source, Beelzebub was associated with him [i.e. Mercurius]. Mylius says that if Mercurius were to be purified, then Lucifer would fall from heaven. [...] Khunrath says: 'Good with the good, Evil the the evil.'"

Based on that, we can see that the occult Hexagram -- closely related to the 11th ("Peace") and 12th ("Stagnation") Hexagrams of the I-Ching -- is a reference to the intertwined trinities of Good (white triangle) and Evil (black triangle), which depending on the orientation (per the I-Ching) denote either positive or negative spiritual transformations.

I'd believe their target isn't users who are already using Linux, but users who will be using Linux for first time going forward. Think all the university students who made Linux the system to develop on will now make Linux on Windows as that system. Eventually, WSL will take over baremetal Linux because it was more convenient to get started, technical superiority notwithstanding.
Horse paste is an intentionally derogatory term for it. It's not meant to be scientifically accurate.

You've said that twice on this thread. I honestly don't remember; is there a story somewhere? Wasn't there another company (Treo) also building hardware with Palm OS?
these modems run a full OS. But why? ... Couldn’t an FPGA or ASIC handle that better?

These modems don't just have an OS (Linux in my case) but a kitchen sink of additional software. I have a similar Arris modem, the SB6141. The modem has its own internal web page where Arris acknowledges the licenses for all the software used.

You can get an idea of the complexity by looking at the list of software included. I'm sure there are countless security bugs, hence why this cable modem is on the Internet side of my own firewall.

> The actual concrete facts- they knew and stole nothing of value

Even if true, I don't think that matters.

Also, I'm not really interested in arguing about their punishment, capital punishment is a tangent from a tangent, but that seems like that's all you want to talk about.
Living in Seattle, I've thought about the odds of surviving a nuclear attack here. I figured surviving the blast is very possible. But after that, things look pretty grim. Long term survival in the city itself is improbable, and due to terrain there are only 3 ways out of the city. Consider that all the survivors would be clogging those routes to get to a farm, it looks like succeeding would also be improbable.

Your only hope would be to leave before the attack.
Been using it for over a year. It's becoming a favorite for Gulf of Mexico fisherman. More accurate than Windfinder most of the time.
It just works?
The pride you take in providing free labor and lobbying for a for profit enterprise, in your choice of automobile transport as a consumer is sickening. The road to hell is paved with good intentions and I see a guy who is happy to be a slave.

The point is to raise the price of the attack.

If someone wants to make 10,000 accounts, I'd rather it cost them 5 cents per captcha solve, $500, than for it to be free.

Some attackers can make it pay off, but many can't, so they don't try. That makes my life easier, as I'm the one being paged during an attack.
It's better to at least try to dodge the bullet than to stand directly in front of a machine gun and challenge its operator to do his worst.
I thought I'd have that problem but I just keep all my dev files in WSL2 now and I stopped using Intellij. VSCode has very fast WSL2 filesystem remoting.
is this allowed to talk about here?
Maybe that says more about your bias.

There's an anti-china thread on HNs front page like 3x a week. Imagine if you were an immigrant and you see that shit. Would it be infuriating?

If a comment comes from outside your frame of reference, it might sound like bad faith to you while you sound bad faith to them. The country that spent the last 20 years killing millions of Muslims really cares about Xinjiang now? Really? And if they point that out, you cry whataboutism?
Sequoia does this too.

It would be dependent on the reasons one is wealthy. I.e. if one is good at leading and organizing others, that is a great survival skill.
You act as if reducing the rate of return is a simple maneuver. This is politically fraught as it automatically requires employees to contribute more money.

Usually the easiest way to solve this is to send a written letter, registered mail for like $1.50 or whatever it is now.

Then you dispute the charge each time. It's a pain, but it's a bigger pain for them and costs them more than it does you. Especially once you've documented with that receipt of a registered letter.
Proof of The Simulation, and that it suffers "bit rot" too.
High potential punishment has never worked.

If your city has exactly 0 'meter maids' what does the 100x fine do to deter you? Nothing.

If your city is patrolling its meters with a frequency that guarantees you will be caught 100% of the time you will definitely not do it ever (if you knew or after being caught multiple times in a row) and the expenses for meter maid salaries would be exorbitant. No more money coming in.

Theres probably a hard to attain sweet spot where having the patrols brings in enough money to offset enough of the salaries and which also gives you the feeling of 'always getting caught' thus not making it worth your while.
What a bunch of candy-asses. They spend years talking tough about overthrowing the government, and when they finally get their chance they not only fail at the critical juncture but don't even have enough defiance in them to demand that the US prove their guilt before a jury. Show me a conservative and I'll show you a loudmouthed little bitch.
No, I don't recall that. I recall a years long investigation into it that conceded that no evidence was ever found that implicated Trump or his campaign of colluding with Russians. I kind of have to wonder why people like Adam Schiff are still hiding all that "ample evidence" of collusion they insisted existed -- is he also in Putin's pocket and covering up for Trump?

I can guess how accepting you are of alternate viewpoints.
> Trying to hang onto systems where your customers resent paying you is not where you want to be.

OK but like, dark patterns exist and everybody knows users don’t like them. Developers use them anyway because they’re profitable. Yeah I guess you feel bad but the bags of money help dry those tears.

If there’s no chance of customers altering their decision )because you have something exclusive for which there is no substitute, or no good substitute) then there’s very little downside to dark patterns. And this is true even for something as banal as a newspaper subscription, where you would think there’s a lot of substitutes.
My handwriting changed after getting used to Grafitti. I still mark Xs on forms with the symbol for X (like the K, but mirrored). This is over two decades after the fact.
Seems dangerous that color correction would not just happen at the display driver level but would modify the values returned by ctx.getImageData. Good fingerprinting technique though!
Yep. I have a strict "Dual boot on dual drives" policy now because Windows thinks its too precious.

Almost assuredly vxworks

My Arris modem says

Kernel 2.6.18

That refers to a very very old version of Linux.

VxWorks probably costs money to license. Linux can be downloaded for free. :)
> I don't care if someone 'looks bad', or breaks any law if they prevent nuclear war.

The idea that the Rosenbergs prevented a nuclear war is wild speculation on top of wild speculation.

However, comparing Snowden to the Rosenbergs is exactly the kind of thing that people do to smear Snowden.

This seems consistent with the fact that Arginine is a conditionally essential amino acid. Our body can naturally make its own Arginine most of the time. When tissues are under increased stress (wound healing is a good example), Arginine becomes essential (the healing tissue can't make enough on its own and needs extra exogenous Arginine).

I'd be curious to see whether this effect is specific to COVID or if Arginine is also beneficial in non-COVID ARDS/Pneumonia.
WSL is winning people over who had left Windows simply because the dev experience outside of the VS IDE is sub-par. We'll see what this means for Linux.

It could mean that people start realizing that there's gaps between Windows and Linux that need to be closed to make Linux more attractive to users. Alternatively it could mean that people don't acknowledge those gaps and instead gripe about EEE.

I know which outcome I'd put my money on.
In real estate development, the business structures (e.g. Limited Partnerships) often preclude providing equity to employees of the development firm.

“Shadow equity” is a tool some companies use to provide similar incentive.

Financially shadow equity tracks real equity. But there’s no actual ownership. And no cash investment at risk for the employee.

But there is a high degree of transparency and the same rate of return as seen by the development firm.

However, I would be cautious regarding the individual. In the circumstances it smells like an unsophisticated request that may be motivated by unrealistic expectations.

There’s an impedance mismatch between the actual business structure and the demand.
> I'll never understand why people want code folding.

Sometimes cognitive load is correlated with visual load. Perhaps most people don't suffer from this problem? But I do.

Other times code works as an outline, and folding branches (for example) is useful to visualize the logical outline without immersing in implementation details.

Occasionally I need a refresher on a bit of code, not something super in depth, and folding is good for giving me a mental prompt.

Folding allows me to keep context in an API (if it's logically laid out in the file) for reference without having additional clutter in my editor. (This is a personal thing that's also probably not terribly applicable for many people who might prefer a collapsible tree in their IDE.)

If I'm stuck in configuration file hell, especially XML ones (here's looking at you finicky Eclipse stuff I've had to deal with in the recent past), having folding is super helpful for skipping past completely irrelevant content.

I mean, I could go on, but I've found it useful.
Unless you invested those thousands of dollars before the App Store and most of the relevant modern policies existed, I don't think your complaint is reasonable. This is nothing like moving to another city or country. It's a smartphone, which people tend to replace at least every 3 years, and I don't think Apple has significantly changed any of its policies in the last 3 years.
Snipers in the Civil War were a major factor, as their primary targets were officers. Militaries have long understood the value of decapitation of the enemy's leadership.

The French conquered England in the battle of Hastings when they managed to kill the king.

There were so many assassination attempts against Hitler that he spent the last couple years of the war in a bunker, and the war ended the day he died.

It's got a picture of a horse and PASTE in a big font. But, yes, like sibling post, it's used derisively for people who won't get a free vaccine known to reduce death 10x+ but will get random shit radio hosts tell them to try.
Well for one thing, West Virginia wouldn’t exist and instead the Appalachia would be supported by subsides of being part of a much larger and more prosperous state.

But to note, the Civil War had roots in the very nature of the nation as an discordant post-colonial state. After all, most (all?) countries didn’t devolve into a 50/50 civil war just to change policy on enslavement, indentured servitude or serfdom.

I’d go as far as to say the Civil War was the birth of modern America because it strengthened nationalist feelings, and empowered the federal government.
User agent and other headers can be used to provide more differentiation, but you're correct to point out that limitation (assuming you meant IP not ISP).
The travel app I want is "on the way". It shows you cool things to do when in transit from point a to point b that's only an X minute detour. Or decent food/coffee. Or...

It's frustratingly hard to search google maps/etc with a query like this.
+1 this recommendation. The tech in the novel is still very futuristic, but it has interesting premises, specially regarding the DAEMON's birth and strategy for global control.

PalmOS was a HUGE part of my childhood (I begged my parents to buy me the first edition Handspring Visor). Thanks for your work!
This reminds me of an old VMWare version where you could break out windows from the guest OS into the host. I'm surprised it wasn't patented by VMWare (or maybe that expired?)

Either way, pretty awesome to have this.
Space macs is an eMacs district with plugins to make it feel more like vim, so it definitely isn’t a “vim ide”
Another excellent point! A correct implementation of proof of work means that we can hand off some (relatively) cheaply generated cookie and then maintain no state in relation to that while the answer is being calculated on the other end.

This stateless principle is implemented in TCP SYN cookies for warding off SYN flood attacks, for instance.

Thank you, also.
Yeah, it’s problematic that there are so many gullible people and also pretty problematic that there are so many useless people looking to exploit that.
Which seems to have been banned. Were the admins fooled by the satire, as well?
Shit the bed worse than Oracle? Not in my experience, unless it's from abuse (storing 1000x 128mb blob per single row, making 100000 simultaneous connections+transactions on a 1-cpu instance, etc).

Most of this seems to originate from people treating PG as "magic", which it is....... until it isn't
They have always explicitly said they modeled themselves after the agency CAA, which was more than just a rep because leveraged their network/roster of talent synergistically. Not sure it needed another analogy.

Also the capital + services model is an interesting theory, but I haven't heard any stories of it living up to the marketing hype from portfolio companies. Don't think it is anywhere close to top of mind when you are comparing term sheets against other top firms.

I had a company funded by a smaller VC 6+ years ago that offered services like this. The reality was that it was a real pain. They offered "discounted" services but the discounted rate was far more expensive than what we could find for ourselves. And we had to deal with the pressure of their soft sales pitch for everything. Our in house bookkeepers are only $50 an hour, use out legal firm for $500/hr. Our tax accountant, on and on. Honestly, I didn't want them to have their fingers in so much detail even though they are investors and as someone who has been doing this for a good while, I already have contacts that will do a better job for cheaper.
I like this approach slightly better than what scarfjs was doing. I first ran into that with react query a few years ago. It was a chilling effect for me at least and I was glad it changed.

The idea of this being an enhanced link shortener is a good metaphor. I think if were ever encountering an image or a download that's not going through a dockerhub or GH link, I might give pause and think about it a bit.

I'm not defending enterprise usage of packages, especially somehow if it's core to the business, but I don't need anyone to come knocking either.
You’re not wrong but it might not apply universally for everyone with every subscription anyway. I’m not really all that frugal but I’ll happily sign up with a credit card through a browser if I see a 30% price difference.

Apple’s decision to force subscription services to use their payment system and charge exactly the same cut as they did for a single transaction app purchase was obnoxious. Sure, charge a fee for allowing access into the walled garden-but 30%? That’s 30% of $10-$15. Every month. They had the right to do that of course but that’s such an infuriating move.

Some companies didn’t play ball at all and just hoped users would connect the dots between the app’s home screen that was featureless except for a two form fields and seeking out the service in a browser. Even a link to a support portal would need to land on a version of your portal that you created to strip out any links that could, eventually, lead (indirectly) to a page where your customers could sign up for your service.

Some other companies just accepted it and then charged 30% more in-app for a subscription.

It’s probably fair to say some if not all of this is outdated. They may not charge as much and relaxed the requirements. But Apple is still Apple. I’m glad governments are moving the needle on this. Despite loving many of their products the way they behave and communicate is so conceited and nearly devoid of any humility or capability to deal constructively with mistakes or errors.
For me, as a developer, it's a yes. Just this week:

1) I had to spent hours fixing a bug for an open source plugin that Google develops. The bug had a ticket that has been open for over 1 year and an existing pull requests from outside developers that provided the fix. The ticket was just left untouched even though they acknowledge the bug was critical and common usage for developers.

2) I had to deal with horrible Google Support that was of no help and wasted my time. They provided responses which was clearly wrong and doubled down. They also used coded words to tell me to bugger off. I am having to power through multiple emails to get them verify an app feature.

I feel Google has grown so big now that they can get away with being jerks. To me, its now just another large corporation that everyone has to deal with. I could only imagine the bureaucracy within. I wouldn't feel especially special for being an Google employee other than receiving a large paycheck. And I wouldn't even wink if someone told me they work for Google. Judging from comments from Google employees on Blind, my first thought would be that person probably has an ego.
