Nebo is great if you want absolutely first-class handwriting recognition. It also does equation and shape recognition and is basically black magic as far as I’m concerned.

Vectornator is good for vector work along with the Affinity apps. My favourite vector app is still Graphic, but it was sadly bought by Autodesk and basically abandoned.
It's not an exaggeration to say that over the past three decades the intelligence of the average Internet user has dropped a solid two standard deviations, if not slightly more. It was an unavoidable side effect of going from a tool for research scientists and particularly motivated college students to one for the general public. In that sense, I suppose it's fair to call me jaded. I've watched the average quality of discourse plummet. That's one of the things that makes HN such a breath of fresh air. It reminds me very much of what the general Internet once was.
That looks very cool. It says preorders are open to “developers”, but the preorder button goes to an empty preorder store. Has anyone been able to preorder?

I love photos of the early days of Frank Williams, such as this one tinkering with the brake assembly in velvet flared trousers and a shirt: https://cdn.24htech.asia/link/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/290... What a different time.

I cleary remember staying up late to see Nigel Mansell claim the championship in the Australian(?) GP (I live in the UK) and being devasted when his wheel blew in the last few laps.

Quite a history - feels a bit like those photos of the Queen meeting presidents all the way through from Truman to Biden.
But they would not have suddenly started drug abuse in 2021.

The reason this is catching attention is that there's a big jump in the number of athletes suddenly collapsing or retiring from sports due to cardiac issues. The number I've seen is 6x, which was based on comparing verified reports so far this year with an academic paper from the early 2000s that provided baseline numbers. 6x is a lot.
> though I wish the WWAN slot could be used for a second NVMe SSD, as it can on other machines

I'm working on that. 2 options: removing the whitelist from the BIOS, or hacking a NVMe firmware to impersonate a whitelisted WWAN (a small boottime delay to answer requests could also be sufficient)

The latter might be easier, as the firmware update seems to have more vulnerabilities. Also NVMe are cheaper in case I mess up and can't reflash with flashrom for a reason or another.

If anyone here works for a storage company and could make a firmware with a given PCI id or a 10 seconds delay before showing up on the bus, please get in touch!

I highly recommend Sir Frank's late wife Ginny's book "Williams: A Different Kind of Life". It details Frank's struggles in his early racing days (too broke to have a telephone at home) and his struggles later on after his horrific car accident. To say Frank was a fighter who never gave up is an understatement, and for those younger F1 fans who never saw the Williams team when they ran up front, I can tell you they were, more than one time, the team to beat. RIP Sir Frank Williams - they don't make them like you anymore.
If you want to keep vertically scaling the internet as an engaging virtual experience, Zuckerberg is your guy. Once the "Metaverse" launches in a meaningful sense, the masses will stop caring about cryptocurrencies/NFTs and start caring about whatever virtual goods and markets and experiences emerge on that platform.

For me, the internet is getting more interesting because it is increasingly materialized. It is unbelievable that we can deploy a fleet of battery-powered flying robots, linked over 5G and sharing intelligence while pathing with superhuman precision.

It's sad that in America, IoT/smart cities were more or less a temporary fad, probably having to do with cultural opposition to "surveillance" and low standards of governance. We've only scratched the surface with what's possible with it.
This is the “nothing at stake problem” from the article.

Warren Buffet buys up 70% of the network, induces a network partition, and then double spends it all, signing both transaction histories.

By the time he’s caught, he’s converted 2x the value of the POS network to POW bitcoins.

Replace “warren buffet” with “crypto exchanges selling bundled securities”, and the above is not just plausible, it’s inevitable.

The same scam has been run over and over again with conventional banks (who are inevitably bailed out on top of getting to take the money and run), POS just changes the nature of the obscure underlying financial instruments.
Were you brought up writing, and did you do most of your schoolwork writing? I think that might have an impact.

As kids today begin typing more than writing, I think the perspective of writing facilitating thought might change.

"I want to minimize the amount of time I have spend doing it."

Just to quickly share what worked for me since many of us don't have room for a row machine: a pull-up bar and a 30lb kettle bell. Every 4hrs between 9AM and 9PM my Alexa reminds me to work out. I then do 3 out of 4 of the following: a set of push-ups, 100 crunches, 25-pullup (or 100 row style push ups with my feet on a tall bar stool), and/or 100 kettle bell swings. The routine is usually over in 7 minutes if I stay focused. It's short enough where I don't sweat so no need to change clothes and shower.

To be clear when the workout reminder chimes, sometimes I don't want to do any of it. But then I remind myself "you can do something" and I at least do the push-ups and pull-ups. I couldn't be more pleased with the results especially given how little effort is required.

For me it's not just the length of the line but the level of indentation. I think wide indents are good for readability, so if you're using standard tabs and also sticking to 80 columns as a hard limit then you have only 64 characters to work with at two levels of indentation. Excessive indentation is a clue that you may want to refactor, but two levels is pretty common.

80 charcters starting at the point of indentation is more reasonable. At two levels of indenting, you might get out to 96 characters, which still fits comfortably in most GUI terminal windows.
I think it’s much more likely that the videos they promote to protect their political interests get large amounts of downvotes, and removing ratings looks like bending the knee.

They had an internal issue that needed debugging and so they decided it was easier to just disable it all-together for the holidays. This is less an indicator for complexity and more an indicator of apathy. An ipv4 issue would have obviously prompted a much more swift response. In fact considering this is reddit, I'm surprised this hasn't happened more often considering they seemingly go down every other day regardless.

The only ones making this hard are apathetic engineers who keep kicking the can down the road for the next generation. Arguments against ipv6 are like sailers on a sinking ship bickering with the rescuers that while the ship is completely underwater at this point, they can still float on their backs for a day or two, so their help is unecessesary.

IPv6 is inevitable, you can either deal with it now while it's hard, or deal with it later when ipv4 addresses are too expensive and your infrastructure is already so entrenched that transitioning is a nightmare. The latter is the situation Azure & GCP are slowly finding themselves stuck in, and they have only themselves to blame.
That's for books.

When reading code, I'd rather see a single statement on one line, rather that break it at 2 lines because it passed some ancient 80 char limit...

Rent in London is high but little compared to the other international cities. My experience working for international companies is that a flat that goes for £2000 for me in London can go for $5000 for a coworker in NYC (maybe less now after the pandemic).

A factor of 7 is entirely believable for England (non London) and most of the EU.
Many line printers back in the day did 132 columns. As a result the popular DEC VT-100 had a 132 column mode to allow proper viewing of the output of programs without having to waste paper. It wasn't that great and was sort of hard to read.

As part of VT-100 compatibility, many subsequent terminals also supported 132 column mode.
That makes a lot of sense. I've moved UK-> SWE and am not liking it here in SWE at all. I studied in the US for a few years so I totally understand missing public transportation and school systems. However, the software salaries here are low when you compare it to the cost of housing :(
> democratized and relatively cheap

This is not and is unlikely to ever be a thing. Every human surviving off Earth needs to carry a minimum amount of infrastructure with them at all times. They need air, heat, water, and food (roughly in that order). None of those things can be found in usable quantities off Earth. They also can't be easily fashioned out of local materials.

So even your cheapest most democratized scrap yard rocket needs reliable life support. It also needs a lot of fuel to actually get to a "frontier". Willpower and desire don't have enough mass to provide propulsion. Like with life support fuel for any given rocket is not easily synthesized from local materials.

Doing anything in space requires expensive infrastructure and complicated supply chains. Promises of 3D printed rockets from Mars rocks are as realistic and practical as rockets constructed of unicorn bone and powered by dragon farts.

The cheapest and most democratized things you can send into space currently are CubeSats. They are several orders of magnitude away from "cheap and democratized" manned spaceflight.

Things have improved by now, but my experience with the earlier USB 3 devices is that compared to their FireWire counterparts they were extremely flaky — wildly inconsistent transfer rates, intermittent disconnections, and general weirdness, especially for sustained workloads. I could see FireWire being preferred over USB 3 for that alone, even if USB 3 was faster on paper.

I've lived in the Bay Area for 10 years now -- one thing you should be prepared for is that it can be a very 'transitory' place. The majority of people you will meet have plans to move back home in a few years, so it's harder to form long-term friendships. Not sure if this is a regional thing or if you'd get the same phenomenon in big cities like New York or London.

No. I miss the communities and simple forums which have died typically for the reasons stated above.

I don't think this is "I remember the sky was brighter" or any other common misunderstandings. I follow some simple forums still and am aware yes, they are technically inferior and have issues and even getting https on some sites is effort due to the internet having evolved around old code.

Some do evolve and adapt, and saying "I prefer the way they were" would be closer to what you think I'm saying. The communities I miss have gone. There is no subreddit covering the same topics afaik and as such that probably means I should reach out and start to find these communities myself, but I miss the old forum interactions, hence why I follow other forums.

There are a few still out there who have survived the purge, but only because the people/person behind it have invested personal time/effort/money over the year out of their personal commitment

Statistically, and regardless of being non-average at 50 or not, the main thing you'll be kicking is the bucket when you're 85.
Remaining neutral on the on-call point, but as a practical/logical matter, things that feel good and make you happy can still be bad for you personally, especially if they're multiplied over the long term. Three or four gin and tonics every night feels great until your doctor reveals that your unexplained weight loss is from cirrhosis, or cancer.

I believe that's the standard currently. My father had back issues and when I consulted my brother who's an MD he said surgery is used as a last resort as it almost inevitably has its own heavy side effects. Pain medication, when used, is symptomatic treatment and not meant to be a solution-- when used it's just to allow a relatively normal life so that you don't lose you job and neglect your kids until you can get your treatment sorted out. Referrals to physical therapists or chiros is the standard, as the best thing one can do is apply simple therapies(hot & cold packs, electric stimulation, local steroid injections to reduce swelling, etc) and teach exercises to strengthen support muscles.

Some doctors can be malicious, but most are just trying to navigate a very difficult issue with little few silver bullets
I would love to learn how to do that!

I'm not certain it would improve things, though, as the most time-consuming step is computing interactions between biots.
Dark Side: Secret Origins of Evidence in US Criminal Cases
The writer complains about not being able to find/do the "next page" gesture. That seems hard to believe when it's just a swipe. Did you also experience this?
Yes. The decentralized web already existed. It was phpbb/vbulletin (or self hosted website) powered and had niche forums for all types of topics. You had an identity specific to that site, with each behaving as their own community with rules and norms. Not happy with a given forum? Go rent a server and start your own community. With Linode/DO and things like Softalicous, this is much cheaper and easier than it was back in the day, but everything consolidated into walled gardens meant to track and monetize everything while monopolizing your attention.

"Web 3" is just a cash grab under the guise of a "blockchain". As an analogy, crypto is a channel on IRC-- it is a topic, people love talking about it, but the underlying tech (IRC protocol, blockchain) isn't being fully utilized, and may never have a solid, widespread commercial application. Yes, governments have adopted some crypto, DAOs are a neat concept, but how many applications are so novel that blockchain is actually the best and/or only application of said tech?

For the "new web" concept, we have yet to see internet for the people, created and curated by people without monetization as their primary motive. Will Gen Z (or whoever come next) be tired of the walled gardens and try to reinvent what the old web was, or will they just be amused by the shadows on the wall of their caves?

Incredible result, minimum time

Work for cardio, muscle mass, etc.

The idea is to give your body a clear signal that things need to change (like in a survival situation) and then give your body the time and food to do the transformation.

The rest of your week you do physical things you like, walk, tennis, bike, etc

Good code can be wide code. Doesn't have to be.

And code editors are decent at wrapping lines nowadays, if you like it.
Communication buoys are a well known technology and very cheap ($1k-$2k) in the grand scheme of defense spending. I’d imagine they’d be considered disposable and deployable from air, sea, and underwater. GNSS chipsets can get a lock in under a minute (sub 5-15 seconds with a recent almanac as soon as the sky is visible), so the constraint is how fast they can parse the muon field and how long corrections need to be provided for (perhaps only long enough to provide an INS update [1]?).

>The money has no bearing on me having been exploited or not. I've done it because it's cool

Convincing them of the "coolness" of it is the most common way to exploit the naive/fresh.

The same people who do so to others, wouldn't even piss if they weren't compensated for it...

(And being exploited or not is not a personal decision. If you aren't compensated for overtime, then you are exploited. It just means you're ok with it.).
Media is a weapon of mass subversion in any society. Look at Murdoch.

For some reason I feel super bad every time I read someone throwing "decentralized". I think it's a naive fallacy that will break in twenty different pieces because the world is complex and there will always be a hidden hierarchy emerging from the original decentralized thing.
This is my favorite poem. My grandfather gave my brother a framed copy and said that this captured a lot of the wisdom he accumulated through his life experiences. Since then, I've read it at least a few times a month. Reliably, a verse from Desiderata will be the antidote to some crisis I'm having.

Ehrmann forfeited his copyright allowing Desiderata to be distributed freely, which feels fitting for his philosophy.
I'll start using it tomorrow for one reason: three STRICT tables feature set will very likely get gradually expanded with time and I believe it's also very likely that sticking to the new syntax will thus net increasing benefits with time.

Of course, migrating current databases is another story. They have plenty of CHECK constraints and app-level validation already so the value in migrating those is small (although I'd still do it because the ANY data type columns will not coerce / convert anything when the table is STRICT which to me is still a win).
I actually did do that until e-tailers started collecting state taxes.

It was very frustrating, from a civics perspective, to have to choose between obeying democratically enacted laws or being a chump.
