Expanding on what others have written:

- The original terminal was a teletypewriter, printing onto paper, connected to a computer, usually through a serial interface. A teleltype is abbreviated "TTY", and the original Unix terminal interfaces were given the device file names /dev/tty, /dev/tty1, /dev/tty2, ... Those were the hard-defined terminals. Yes, these were communication pipes, handling stdin (keyboard), and stdout and stderr (the printer).

- As psuedo terminals came to be used, for users connected via "glass TTYs" (CRT terminals such as the venerable VT-100 and VT-200), or by entiirely virtualised terminals through remote connections (telnet, rsh) or windowing systems (W and X11), pty came to be used for pesudoterminal. Again, these were communication pipes. I used a variant similar to this VT-320, notable for its amber phosphr display: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=RuZUPpmXfT0

Yes, historical quirks.

You can still hook Unix up to a teletype, by the way:

Heard that modern truck engine compartments are getting so cramped you gotta lift the cab to even change all the spark plugs. This way dealers can charge $500-$800 for a plug change. (And diesels, which don't have plugs, have even more stuff ($$$) crammed in instead.) It's getting to the point where having the know-how plus equipment to lift a cab is becoming outright essential if you don't want to pay thousands for routine maintenance.
Either way, you've had to dig through styles; the difference is that Tailwind keeps the styles at the component level, without the arbitrary naming and additional file requirements that traditional CSS classes introduce.

> Side note: You know those Tide Pod plastic buckets? Those are recyclable. The refill bags of pods, however, are made of a plastic that is not recyclable - so you buy the bag to create less waste and actually end up creating more.

Are those buckets recyclable as in "stamped with the recycling symbol" or "actually will get recycled if you drop it in the recycling bin"? I've heard that most plastics, recyclable or not, are not recycled in practice due to cost, contamination, or lack of demand. (If that's true, then the bag is better than the bucket because it's less plastic.)

Um, wouldn't it be more like on May 2nd, the day (in 2011) that Osama Bin Laden was killed, rather than the 9/11/2001 date on which he enjoyed his rather large victory of sucker-punching the USA? If that plot had failed, and OBL had been captured/killed, then of course 9/11 would be a fully parallel celebration date.

It really does make one wonder about alternate history, if these plots had succeeded instead of failing, or failed instead of succeeding...

Still rocking vim since 1997 and love it. But old age's getting to me and I'm now finding myself reaching for either Visual Studio or JetBrains CLion for my coding more and more these days.
A major difference with 2009 imo (actually which you alluded to) is inflation expectations going up or inflation getting “embedded” in public’s psychology. That means people start factoring it into their decision most importantly salary negotiations.

It feels inflation talk is cutting through to the public much more than 2009 (am I right in this, those who were around back then?). More objectively more “serious” folks seem to flag it up as a major risk than in 2009, even some who were major supporters of 2009 QE (CEOs, Larry “secular stagnation” Summers, El-Erian)

Happy birthday, Vim! Thanks to everyone who has worked on that project.

I've used vim for a while now, although not a power user I'm certainly capable. One of my favorite experiences with vim was remote pairing about a decade ago with another developer. He lived a couple of states over, and we paired by sshing into the other person's machine and using vim on a byobu session. It was also fun because both of us had different habits using vim and got to learn some stuff from each other.

> Trying to normalize to specific power consumption doesn't make sense for enthusiast builds.

You surely mean "for low end" builds? Because for enthusiast builds it makes a lot of sense.

Why would you set up "enthusiast" level cooling that can handle 200W and higher, and then keep your CPU set to the default 135W?

At that point one should be buying prebuilt and hope the manufacturer properly sets up the system, because one clearly can't.

>The whole thing comes together in a beautifully elaborate machine where all sorts of crazy social situations crop up

It's probably been a ~decade or so since I've played SS13 (have gone back every now and then, but not regularly) and have fond memories of the antics that occurred.

One of my first memories as a new player was accidentally wandering into medical, getting knocked out by a couple of players, waking up tied to a chair, force-fed medicine until I died, and then waking up again having been revived, dressed in an EVA suit, stuffed inside a locker with the door welded shut, and thrown out the airlock to spend the rest of the round floating in the black void of space.

Which sounds sadistic, but was very funny at the time. New players were griefed mercilessly, so if you didn't quit you quickly became very proficient at the game (out of necessity, so you didn't spent the bulk of each round in a locker or suffering some other terrible fate).
That article misses the most interesting property of the Fredkin gate which is that it is reversible. That is, you can run it backwards as well as forwards.

Reversible computation doesn’t need to consume any energy, but deleting a bit means you need to thermalize 1/2 kT worth of energy where k is Boltzmann’s constant and T is the temperature. This is why Maxwell’s demon doesn’t work as a perpetual motion machine because the demon has to spend energy to reset its brain.

Ask HN: What should I do with a grand idea?
I have an idea that I think I invented. I wonder if I can make something of it.

Implementing it would involve some research, and quite large-scale transport engineering. It would also be likely to encounter political opposition in some places, but it would be environmentally clean, and I think it would be wildly popular.

This would be a long-term thing; I'm retired, I'm not up for trying to kick it off, let alone see it through.

I don't know if there is prior art.

How should I proceed?
> Anyone have background on what a "third party finding" is? Are they talking about dependencies?

Yes.

I've had some experience with bug bounty programs. The situation with vulnerabilities in dependencies is complicated.

On one hand you want to incentivize researchers to find vulnerabilities in your dependencies, which likely don't have their own bug bounty programs.

On the other hand, you run into situations where researchers discover a bug in a 3rd-party library and, instead of reporting it ASAP, they keep it secret as long as possible while they build up an arsenal of bug bounty exploits to report to multiple companies that use the library. This is a weird disincentive to fix the underlying bug quickly because the researchers know they only have so much time to exploit it in bug bounty programs before one of the companies fixes it upstream.

We also had a problem where amateurs would spam our bug bounty program any time a CVE came out for one of our dependencies, even if they couldn't exploit it. It was relatively easy to close these bug reports because they couldn't provide a proof of concept exploit, but it still wasted a lot of time arguing with them, especially when they'd try to blackmail us on social media for not paying them out (for a bug that didn't exist in our product).

I do not miss my days of dealing with bug bounty programs. Met a few great researchers, but most of the (attempted) participants were trying harder to exploit the bug bounty program than find exploits in our code.

I didn't care about that letter to begin with. Peter Daszak is obviously a creep trying to cover his ass. That doesn't change the fact that the origins of COVID are a hard scientific question that no one has figured out yet.

No, they haven't. Tailwind is basically just a lot of utility classes which you use to set css values.

Other frameworks generally combine multiple properties with their classes.

It is a very different design choice with it's own up and downsides but equating it to bootstrap is just silly.

It's more realistic to compare it to directly setting style attributes on html tags then bootstrap, but that wouldn't let you use responsive modifiers/dark mode nor be as concise.
Ah, thanks for elaborating! Fair and interesting point. It's true that the work these companies are doing is not pushing the cutting edge of technology readiness, but is instead exploiting the most recent advances in R&D by finding business cases that now are possible. As new materials and science advance in research institutions, startups will then step in to commercialize that tech. So I guess I'm saying we shouldn't necessarily expect YC startups to be at the frontier of R&D

Such large timespans are better measured in galactic years [1] and Earth axial precession periods [2] which is 26,000 years or 1/10,000 of a galactic year.

With these measures, the Milky Way was "born" about 49 galactic years ago and will "die" in 49 galactic years, so we are almost precisely in the middle. It's an interesting coincidence, that on this scale, eukaryotes appeared 6.666 galactic years ago (from [1]).

COVID appears very impactful but I also suspect if you integrate over biological time (IE 1+M years) the integral of retroviruses is probably larger than rhino/coronaviruses. I mean COVID killed a lot of people but then several years later, a large fraction of the world is at least partly immunized (by their own immune system). We can't say for sure but it may be that the total sum of COVID after 40 years will be smaller than HIV.

Overclocking is running a CPU at higher clock speeds than advertised.

If you just change PBO limits, it never goes beyond what AMD knows their silicon can handle, and what is sold to the customer. Individual cores might already be boosting to those clock speeds over short intervals. You're just allowing more cores to do that and longer, within your configured power limits. The expectation here is thermal throttling, not an unstable system.

tl;dr: Because event processing software doesn't do distributed transactions / 2-PC, put an event queue for each microservice in the database where the microservice puts it events, so you get transactions on your events. Then have a subordinate messaging nanoservice empty the locally transactional microservice event queue into the globally untransactional primary event queue.
