It seemed like it was a few months after the government broke up the telephone monopoly; prices dropped dramitatcilly.

I know this on a personal level.

I had a crazy friend in college who thought BHT (the preservative) could cure AIDS.

His phone bill was $350-500/month. He would call researchers around the country, even Dr. Fauci. (Fauci actually listened to him once, until he found out he didn't have any credentials.) He once called France to speak with a researcher at work, over Rock Hudson's treatment. The small business owner came in steaming. He said, "Who called France. The call cost me $500.00!"

Everyone was complaining about long distance charges.

It literally seemed like in was a few months after the breakup, and long distance calls were dirt cheap.

(It might have been longer than months, but it felt that way. It was then I realized the important antitrust laws, and how monopolies need to be slapped down.)
Only if it is HTCPCP(-TEA) compatible. Otherwise they should not bother.

/s, since it is not the specialized coffee machine on the office floor which is the biggest problem but the thousands of ones at home where people do not even bother to firewall it.
The proposed legislation doesn't forbid the usage of whatever port Apple wants to use, they simply need to provide an USB-C option as well.

Apple's misinformation: "We remain concerned that strict regulation mandating just one type of connector stifles innovation rather than encouraging it, which in turn will harm consumers in Europe and around the world."

Reality: "Breton said manufacturers, including Apple, could choose to offer two charging ports on their devices if they wanted to keep a non-USB-C connector"

It's ironic. Many people hailing Jobs as a visionary said that placing design restrictions on Apple products forced designers to think out of the box and produce a superior product. Well now, here's a design restriction for you.

Dell puts it in writing, Apple puts their fingers in their ears (butterfly keyboards, "you're holding it wrong").
> Under no circumstances should you leave a laptop powered on and in any sleep/hibernate/standby mode when placed in a bag, backpack, or in an overhead bin. The PC will overheat as a result of that action. Any resulting damage will not be covered by the Dell warranty.

A PC in sleep/hibernate/standby mode is not OFF. It's in a (very) low power mode.

It's a wide range because the exact number doesn't matter.

USB-C is replacing ports that existed for 7 and 25 years, depending on which end you look at. It's not going to change again any time soon.
These generally work well enough. My requirement was to drive a pair of HiFi speakers with minimum hardware, so I went for HifiBerry.
It's essentially a stripped Z80 without the DD-, ED- and FD-prefix instruction ranges. The core instruction block and CB-prefix range is (nearly) the same.
So your justification for Dell voiding warranty upon putting the laptop in the bag on standby is that reads notes Apple...does not void the warranty, and that it is somehow virtuous to explicitly void warranty instead of honouring warranty? Sorry, but your logic is completely insane.
This website is nice, but here's something it could do with: a page describing what makes Grain different and amazing.

It's got a tutorial that goes through basics like types and functions. It's got a blog with release notes. But it could do with a sales pitch like Zig's overview doc.
I returned my X1 Carbon due to unsolvable audio latency/jitter issues on Windows. Out of the box, just watching YouTube was impossible.
I find it strange that merely providing a link to something can be problematic here, when it's the user's browser that follows the link, and Instagram's server that decides what content to serve for it.

Can I get into hot water when the content of the link changes after I link to it?

But then, the judges might not know the tech well, while I don't know much about law. Maybe the intent of the embedder to have the content displayed by embedding a link to it is all that's needed here? Without their embedding, the viewer would not see the copyrighted content.

Interested to hear more knowledgeable perspectives that can elaborate on the legal basis of these decisions.
Sure, but for a Mac, it's a "bug" or "faulty hardware". For XPS (and presumably many other Windows laptops), it's policy.
I fail to understand how is this worse than the current situation?

These exploits usually target the PC side.
If anything this makes it harder to target iPhones, since you have harder time at making sure your malicious cable would be used on an iPhone, while with USB-Lightning you are sure of it.

If exploits were universal to all platforms than your remark would make sense.

Amusingly enough, the said “Go playground” is actually written in Rust under the hood.
I'd put Java's initial trendy period as before PHP's, Java was more concurrent with Perl for that kind of interest. PHP had a fair amount of reacting to the verbosity and tedium of early Java/C++9x static typing in the community

Also remember, until the day the brexit vote happened, the Brexxit was not possible,not real and not even worth discussing on HN.

Such things might not make waves in the high-tech bubble, but in the real world, such movements might be considerable. Lots of people see globalism as a attack on their life and community by now.
You're right, checked my notes and it loses 8% on average over 8 hours.

Agree that 900mW is high given that it's not supposed to be doing anything. It is what it is though ... haven't found a way to improve that.

Re. the comparison to idle power, I suppose there's a reason S1 is called "sleep2idle"!!
You don't need the proprietary AMD drivers, those included in the kernel are on par mostly. If you want to <edit>see benchmarks</edit> check out Phoronix [0].

Freesync works with in kernel drivers for sure, it was a little work, but worth it. Used it before i sold my undervolted <edit>(made it cooler, quieter and increased performance!)</edit> RX570, can't say how the situation is with newer cards.

Arch Wiki [1],[2] is an invaluable resource as always, applies to other distros as well.

If your base is Ubuntu you will need newer Mesa packages, which you can get here [3] (more recent/bleeding edge but used by default by some distributions, the one tested by Phoronix) or there [4]

(addition) Had this [5] in bookmarks, looks solid.

I think the usual recommendation is before meals, two hours after meals and before going to bed. So that was 7 times a day for me. The big problem with testing more times is that you are literally damaging your fingers and hoping that they heal before you need to use that area on your finger again. For me this didn't always happen and is one of the reasons I love my FreeStyle Libre.

The Azure web console is light-years ahead of GCP's console, it's so much nicer to use.

GCP's console is just stupid though. It takes so long to load, and instead of just making it faster, they made it load in incrementally, so you just have to sit there waiting for whatever widget you actually want to use, load in correctly.

And even when it has loaded, the entire thing is extremely laggy.
>You encounter it in the recursive case, painfully, when your stack overflows.

People who write high performance code don't worry, because they write the recursion properly, and tail recursion doesn't use the stack.

If your understanding of recursion leads to stack overflows then you're missing a significant tool in your toolbox.

There is no more need to overflow a stack using recursion than there is to overflow a stack or heap trying to store state when unwinding a recursive function into an iterative one.

However, the recursive solution is vastly simpler in many cases since you don't have to fiddle with state, which is mutable and error prone, and can instead use immutable concepts (in any language) to write correct code more quickly with zero penalty in execution speed or space. It makes you a more valuable employee to learn these techniques.
I can’t speak for the author, but personally I hate tools like go fmt, es-prettify and cargo fmt. I’d never use this stuff by choice because they delete the work I do to make my code easier for me to read. For example, I use extra blank lines to separate different parts of a function, or separate groups of functions visually. These sort of tools like to delete vertical white space, which hurts readability. In javascript I’ve seen plenty of very readable ternary operators (possible with the correct layout) replaced with unreadable junk by the prettifier.

It’s soulless to make all code look like bland corporate cardboard. It appeals to our OCD perfectionist tendencies but in my experience provides very little real value. Software is like writing. It can’t help but express how the author thinks about their code. These tools try to iron that personality out - and for what reason? Who cares in javascript if some files use semicolons and some don’t? Who cares if my where clause is on the same line or the next? The compiler doesn’t care, and neither do I.

(I will grant that all files in a project should have consistent white space, but you don’t need cargo fmt for that.)
Russia asked to block Putin's rivals apps. Google and Apple complied. The only people who could side-load it were Android users. I guess that's good for Democracy, right? because Apple said so…

> the ‘special relationship’ is, and has always been, a British fantasy

More accurately, a fantasy by which British politicians embarrass themselves. Personally, this Brit would be happy to see the phrase die
Were you not around when comedy news was making fun of Mitt Romney for saying "the Special Relationship is special"?

No, I wasn't around. The assumption that I would have been is fascinating. I am not an American; I did, however, live in the U.S. for a grand total of 7 years and never once heard a U.S. politician talk about any "special relationship" with any of these countries on the news. In Canada, Australia, and Britain, I regularly heard about the "special relationship" in such a way as to imply no other country has a similar one. Take from it what you will.
> how expensive and congested these networks were back in the day.

And the reason for that is that basically you needed a wire connecting from one phone to another: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_switching

On the way to modern day digital packet switching (where you just send the bits for millions of connections down massive capacity pipes) there was multiplexing, etc. but it was a long and hard road.
Please. I had a small business in the UK, I shipped EU wide. Shipping to EU is slightly more expensive, and takes an extra day or two for like South Italy and Romania. No one ever complained about having to pay for shipping (yeah, the buyer pays, shocking), nothing ever got lost.
> BTW the tutorial is absolutely useless. Just a thousand different incantations to repeat. No real understanding communicated.

I share this sentiment after going through a lot of tech tutorials and onboardings. And it's not limited just to AWS. I find myself forgetting most of the information I was supposed to learn. I'm trying to be extra mindful and offer additional explanations when I'm writing procedural guides myself, but I still have a lot to improve.
The problem discussed in the article happens for MacBooks too
You can disable network connected standby with group policy. I did try that when running Windows on my machine, and it didn't improve the randomly-getting-hot-when-asleep for me.
I really wonder what still drives people to Dell? Their products looks marvelous on the tech sheet, and that's also where the marvel ends. In my current career I've yet to touch a Dell laptop that doesn't try to melt itself by simply turning on, or fails to respond to touching the power button. It's as if the operation of the Power Button is a schrodinger cat.

Any corporation that is operating exclusively on Dell I deem to regard as a cost mitigation corporation that does not have their developers at their first place. I believe that no sane developer will opt for Dell's products, but rather go with Lenovo or Apple.
There is a difference between T440 and T440s. T440s is already power optimized and runs integrated GPU vs T440 which is more normal laptop with discrete graphics.

I used mostly powertop but this is less reliable source of information when you are running discrete graphics card.
I'm not justifying Dell here, I'm just replying to the comment that you can somehow avoid these issues with Apple.

I have had experience with my last personally owned Apple products fighting them to honour the warranty. Maybe they're better in the US, but it's not evident to me that that's something you can rely on: https://www.macworld.co.uk/news/apple-admits-faulty-macbook-...

I agree with the idea that Dell should still be made honour the warranty, via court proceedings if they hold out too long, just as has occasionally been needed of Apple in the past.
In my opinion, science has no tools to verify life after death, regardless of what one believes. Besides, the onus of (dis)proving life after death is for the individual, not for the religious group. Most of them already have their systems set up.

My understanding is that Buddhism doesn't say that you "stand before judgment", but instead explain what is the process of life and death, cause and effect, that was observed through the eyes of superior individuals who cultivated and developed great concentration and wisdom.
While your example is clearly a strawman, I have to admit I tend to many short messages on chats.

It's not email, there is someone sitting on the other side who waits, so I give them something to read. When I call them, they also hear what I say when I say it and not after the whole message is complete.

Agreed. It's operationally equivalent to "sleep on it". Let your subconscious work with it in the background, and when you come back the obstacle has dissolved.
Now to get some QR codes of that url printed on sticker paper...
I think you missed my main point which is that for a browser to offer a permission-gated flow to website developers, the browser executable itself needs to have the idle detection system in place. There's no permission to turn _that_ off in the browser itself. It can track your lock screen, and activity outside the browser without prompting you. It's installed automatically by the auto update mechanism.

You could argue that Chrome was already doing this and sending that data back to Google over telemetry. (I don't know if they were.) That's where my second point comes in. Before, they had no justification for this. If they do it, it would look like creepy tracking. Now if you call attention to it they can say oh that's just there to power idleness API, nothing to worry about.

I wish there was some kind of soaking in period with laws like this (maybe even all laws). Something like

“Those who implement new laws are first themselves subject to them for one year before being rolled out to the general public.”

Perhaps it might slow the descent into an insane techno-dystopia.

Hey HN,

I'm Joy from Coder One. This is an early version of our upcoming Bomberman-inspired AI competition. Bomberland is an intentionally challenging environment for ML featuring non-trivial problems like real-time decision-making, large search space, and both adversarial + cooperative play.[1]

Longer term, we're building a place where anyone can explore cutting-edge algorithms like deep RL, GAN, MCTS etc on meaningful real-world challenges. Think OpenAI Gym, but with active competitions and open-ended multiplayer simulations.[2]

We'd love to hear what you think!

MSN in 1999 was the first according to the person who made it for Microsoft, David Auerbach.

> the feature was well-received and soon copied by AOL and Yahoo, the other two big IM forces back then.

No big insights about typing indicators in the article, though, e.g
no user research was done or anything.

Near the bottom of the article is an interesting bit about messengers showing the message, not just a typing indicator, in realtime. I guess people nowadays (I certainly would) think of it as something Google tried, but it sounds like this predates MSN. The author says they prefer that over typing indicators.
But they aren't because users aren't aware of this.
I mean sure, autopilot bad. No argument from me there. But how in the world are you in the drivers seat of a car and not see a car stopped in the middle of the road with flashing lights?

The whole "you need to pay full attention when using autopilot" argument is nonsense, but surely people aren't turning on self driving and then just checking out mentally entirely? Do people really trust this tech enough to not even keep an eye on the road?
I also discuss the posts they read and shared with me during the interview. If they’re simply sharing random posts without understanding it in context, it becomes obvious very quickly.

This seems to work to filter out people who don’t like their work enough to read anything related to it and people who like to fake their way thru such tasks by sharing the first three Medium articles they find on the homepage.

What makes you question the “knows what they are doing” abilities of someone asking you to name three posts they liked? Is it any different from asking someone what algos they like and why?

I can't remember what the software was but I once ran across an open source project on GitHub that you could download there or at the bottom of the docs there was a link to steam basically saying "if you don't want to mess with GitHub you can download it from steam like you would a game or other software"

The Steam version was priced at $3 and had lots of positive reviews.
There's gonna be a technical solution for this, that you could print a QR code (or something) and tuck it away in the book, and it would take you to your notes.
The problem with this is we then don't get notification of the crime. Chances are there's a lot of these deals happening that aren't so high profile, and when you cut a deal nothing comes out to the rest of society.

The prosecutor should just not be allowed to cut such deals. Pursue every case to a conclusion, so that we know what corruption there is.
We recently got a new car with various assistance features : adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, lane keeping asisist, reverse camera etc etc. The bloody thing beeps warnings at you for so many different things I'm starting to wonder if I'd be better turning them off. About nine out of ten are alerting me to things I already know ("yes, I know there's a car alongside me. No, I'm not going to drive straight into that wall") and the one out of ten is probably just alerting me to something I'd have seen myself a fraction of a second later. They're some cool gadgets to have available but they really don't have the mind-machine interface that'd make them really indispensable.
I've had a $1.5/month charge on AWS that I tried repeatedly to track down but failed each time. Eventually I just let it run until I canceled my credit card.

it depends on your free storage.
if it is less than X % they will try to download it one go.
the resumable download will download all in chunks and than concat them.
Apple as well. I have a 2018 15" Macbook Pro with problems:

- The battery is dying
- The touchbar flickers whenever it is 'off' - a hardware fault that requires the full top case to replaced[1] - Quotes of $400-1200.

And things that aren't technically problems but still have the same, can't do anything about it stuck with the problem vibe:

- I keep running out of space, but it's soldered to the logic board
- Keyboard is one of those shitty butterfly keyboards
- It's always heat throttling

Granted, I might be able to get some of them fixed, but not without major inconvenience of being without my laptop for some period of time.

I've used Macs since the Apple Mac IIx, but I really hate the can't fix your own computer thing that has taken over in the last few years, for both Apple and others.

If Framework[2] offered a 15" or 17" version, I would be there in a heartbeat, but the 13" is just too small considering I don't use an external monitor.
