What I like most is being able to work on a project I'm passionate for with lots of freedom to make decisions. What I like least is most definitely dealing with the platform APIs.
This “bynarism” of you with freedom is interesting. Freedom is also a spectrum. First, “computer” is related to the machinery, whereas “compute” is with the concept of manipulating information, from where the morals being talked about in the article and from where freedom arise. Second, I wonder why someone who defends freedom in the software realm has to cope with all “permutations” of all device drivers. You may make mistakes at times, and you may be right, wrong, neutral, not necessarily in this order.

I don’t understand how to construct cyclic references using only letrec. Do you have a concrete example?
This discussion is bizzare. It’s not a NSA building it’s a telecom building. So the NSA goes there to tap into telecom.

That doesn’t make it an NSA building though it’s still primarily a telecom hub. It’s not the only giant windowless building of its kind in Manhattan either. There’s the Verizon one next to the Brooklyn Bridge on Pearl (which added some windows decades after being built) among others not to mention the Western Union building in Tribeca and so on.
But was reportedly basically being ignored at Apple until Steve Jobs “found” him and used his designs.
Vivaldi is only Chromium based though.
This is already happening.

There are a bunch of EVM compatible chains, and people already forked many smart contracts over to them.
You just unironically defined NFTs in general.
It's a mindset, not a culture thing.

I tend to do things that same way. I have a philosophy of "Buy twice as good. Buy half as many."

My cars I tend to buy new, but keep them for 12 years or more. The same with household appliances. Better ones last longer, and can be more economic to repair rather than replace.

My Miele dishwasher is approaching 16 years old. My Miele clothes-washer and heat-pump dryer I bought 12 years ago because I was so happy with my Miele dishwasher. All three have been repaired once during their lifetime but continue to work, and work well. Very likely they'll see me out.
Not great. Aside from higher cost, MREs are heavy (because they contain their own water), and their shelf life is a couple of years. Freeze-dried canned food beats them for most prepping applications.

The point of MREs is to have a high-calorie hot meal that can be thrown into a backpack, and then prepared and eaten in the field with minimal fuss - i.e. no need to make a fire or mess around with utensils. But even the military doesn't rely on them as soldiers' primary source of food except when necessary.
> Maybe it's finally time to build my own router

Can anyone link a good "getting started" guide for this? I have experience managing servers but not managing network appliances, so I'm looking for a relatively gentle intro...

Edit: I'm not asking about how to install OpenWRT on an existing router, I'm looking for a guide on how to build a router from general purpose hardware - in the same way that you can build your own NAS etc.
Ask HN: What are you looking forward to this holiday season?
I'm a big fan of peppermint-everything, personally! As a family we celebrate the solstice with a big mug of cocoa (mine with a little kick). We're finally getting old enough that the littles enjoy hacking new things and mixing and matching sets of things. I look forward to calls with old friends around the world I haven't spoken with for awhile, and getting cards. And, if there is a time, reading a good recent pop-sci/culture book.

What are you looking forward to this holiday season?
11-week Kellogg’s strike to end after multi-year agreement reached
...I find it odd that anyone thinks that just because you've given your fingerprints and been interviewed once, this somehow makes you a low-risk traveler.

Think about it. 9/11 hijackers wouldn't have given one lick about getting fingerprinted. What are they going to do? Arrest you AFTER you've taken over the plane, but before you crash it?

Frankly, I'd be willing to make a case that anyone sufficiently motivated to jump through the hoops to get excluded has a higher risk profile than anyone who doesn't.

But no... Can't call out the absurd. Gotta get in that security theatre after all.
That sounds quite convincing until you actually try to do it 8) Liquid N is bloody cold until it hits the environment (for want of a better word). Initially I thought of going in with boiling water but that suffers from the same problem - that there bloody equilibrium thingie.

I'd also look into something like liquid grout. You use that (I'm a Civ Eng grad, IT company owner) to stabilize ground. That depends a lot on the rock involved. North Devon and sandy soil mentioned so it will be tricky.

I think it could have been done quicker but you have to bear in mind that people's houses are on top and the council's and other groups would have worried about that and a lot of other factors.
Women can be very fertile right after birth, although most don’t get their periods for months while breastfeeding.

We got like 100 condoms after birth, which would mean years of sex given the stress and discomfort after birth.

"meatspace Olive Gardens"
Totally on board with the US-based support. I’ve called them once and they were fantastic. As soon as they offer a model with 10Gb NICs, I’ll buy one of those, too.

As for god mode, I agree. Super customizable and everything works properly. I grew tired of the nonsense routing ubiquiti kept releasing, went to pfsense, and right to opnsense.
Part of the attention to detail we bring is from the fact that we use the tools we build daily. We don't really have a use for a database tool, so I honestly doubt it would be any good.
Well, they sold out over 800 Olive Gardens at $20 each, so that's $16k off of a joke. Good for them.
The new German coalition is a true horror for the whole block and its unity. Hope the rest are strong enough to stand up against the Germans and their idealistic decarbonization strategy.
In Chechnya, the rebels have long used Snickers bars as their on-the-go food - apart from its good nutritious qualities as a trail bar, it's also easy to get in any convenience store, and doing so isn't suspicious (or wasn't until it became prevalent, anyway).
> The US Federal Government is an utter horror show. It was once an amazingly capable collection of efficient, nimble organizations. It could hire rogues and mavericks when needed, and was able to fire the desk-riders too. It's now a rotted-out shell. Success happens in-spite of, and never because-of, the organizations themselves.

Not sure how this is related to your point about money, but I do think it's cultural. To work in the civil service right is not something our current culture rewards and/or admires. As such, you get a paucity of talent, hustle, and hard workers.
Hope you get it soon! I assume its a standard range if its taking that long. Got my performance is less than 30 days.
Ah, I think I understand now. It's not the amount of data (rows), it's how that data is structured (columns). I thought you were saying that number of columns was more important than number of rows, which clashed with my naive intuition.
Using a rolling release distro usually qualifies as unstable bleeding edge updates I think :)
The calls that I recall being reported on used telephones available to flight crew for communications unrelated to flight and possibly made available for crazy prices to passengers.

You generally can't receive cell phone signal at segment of airliner flight except immediately after takeoff and in final stages of landing, due to optimizations involved in providing said signal (directional segment antennas, with attempts to beam-form towards specific terminals in latest versions). In practice I had hard time and required special tricks to keep a call running above 500m AGL and it probably depended on BTS located on hill above my reference point.
> art is really just about status and signaling

I am convinced that crypto people know literally nothing about the world other than making numbers on a screen go up.
I agree. It is too bad that reasonable, moderate conversation gets drowned out by the true believers and the conspiracy theorists fighting it out.

I don't think 5g is evil but I don't see the technical or economic need for it. Replacing 4G infrastructure that is just a few years old and has plenty of bandwidth doesn't make much sense to me.
Working on new projects has been fun for me ever since I started using https://github.com/chocolat-chaud-io/stator

This allows me to quickly start coding while not focusing on the tedious configuration tasks that usually accompany a new project. I've been using it for over a year for personal and professional projects. It's not perfect, but it helps. I wrote this open-source template, so I am, of course biased :)
Spot on. Apple got desperately needed money from the Microsoft investment and more importantly it was a sign that the platform wasn’t “dead“. As Apple had been shrinking big developers had been abandoning the platform. If Microsoft were to stop making office for it it may have killed it.

That investment and commitment helped Apple keep going long enough to get out of the bind it was in.

It is one thing not to hold them complicit in the crime, and another to judge the DA for holding the position that murderers should not be imprisoned.

I think the fact that the human didn’t intervene means that no, human eye can’t see further in these conditions. There’s more to eyesight than maximum possible sensitivity and no the driver’s night vision is not going to be particularly good thanks to oncoming headlights. What you see on the video is the result of transcoding the actual CCCR camera feed to RGGB, reducing resolution from image native to what YouTube wants, and then compression to minimise the file size of a video with lots of black and lots of blown out areas.

Swerving could have prevented the collision, but braking is always the safer option. Swerving would still require the object to be detected, which neither the AP nor the human did in this instance.

Regardless you are still correct that people trusting their lives to AP instead of monitoring it like they are nagged to do by Tesla software are being foolish. I would never have been in the inside lane in this scenario, most likely if using AP I would be happily cruising behind the coach, meaning in any collision with a stationary object the coach would absorb the bulk of the collision energy.

Making this incident about AP is putting the cart well and truly before the horse.
"abortion is murder" is not logically consistent. The same people who wish to protect heartbeats, fingernails and hair will happily end heartbeats and eat other animals that are far more developed than an embryo. Not to mention the whole idea that the woman could be considered a human with a heartbeat and other bodily development, yet they don't get consideration.

Charitably, they were probably talking about the high-end art market, where that is definitely the case.
>Certainly "diminishing returns" and "the skill of consistency" are real issues, but is it also possible there's something psychological going on here, like a fear of success?

> This is something I've struggled with for all of my adult life – not with success per se, but with the way succeeding at something defines who/what you are.

This is very true, success often means change and we're not always comfortable with change.
Isn't this always going to be the case with money, especially hard money. Partially due to the definition of "wealthy"? The money appears to be unfairly distributed amongst the wealthy people. Yes! Thats how money works! If you have a lot of it, guess what, you are now a wealthy person.
Escaping into the Crossword Puzzle

Does Olive Garden have a trademark in this domain? Trademarks are limited by the area they operate in, which is why you had Apple Music (the label) and Apple Computers side by side for years.

Also see https://www.nissan.com/, which Nissan (the car company) has had legal proceedings with for years, bullying a company that has the same name because they want their domain. So far, unsuccessfully.

I don't know what class this falls under, but unless Olive Garden has a trademark in class 38 or class 42, I don't think trademarks will give them the legal ability to take the website down.

What will help them take the website down is the ability to bully a small project into submission by filing all kinds of lawsuits to basically out-lawyer them. You can only get justice if you're rich, after all. I think a cease and desist will be quickly accepted to avoid the inevitable tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees for a full-on lawsuit.

You've correctly identified why Windows isn't worth their time.
Perhaps regulators should take on a different approach...

> Car manufacturers that sell more than 1 million vehicles shall pay $1M per driver, occupant or pedestrian death that occurs involving a car sold by that manufacturer. The payment shall be made irrespective of cause of death, state of maintenance of the car, or fault of any accident.

This gives car manufacturers a direct, ongoing and financial incentive to make cars safer, not just to pass safety tests.
If I buy a replica Rolex, which is indistinguishable from a real one, it has less value than a genuine. Why?

Some of you are really stretching to find reasons to not understand NFTs and why people like them. Yes you can “right click save as”. I can also buy a replica Rolex, but I would much rather own the real thing. What’s the “real” that I’m buying with a gen Rolex as opposed to a rep?
I agree with all of this! Thanks for writing it up.

Improving webcams (a lot), URL-based rooms, and never having a call interrupted by a required update are all on my list for next year.
Why is Airbus randomly asking for that in the USA and not e.g. in Europe?
Out of stock is the main headwind for my side project https://app.electrade.app (trying to simplify the EV leasing process). Everything's out of stock. Always.

High gas prices are tailwinds though, so hopefully things will pick up when supply chains catch up. Also, all cars are facing delivery issues, so it's not only EVs :)
That sucks.

Sure, but that is not imposter syndrome.
There are NFTs which have smart contracts with a kickback to the creator when they are resold. Wrap those in another smart contract and trade the wrapped owner NFT instead to avoid the transfer fee.
> I feel truly lucky to have bought a car in Oct 2020. I dream of selling it for that sweet above-what-I-paid price point... but these stories help sober me up

Similar story. Bought a specific car that felt like it was already at the bottom of its depreciation curve October 2020, and nine months later, other dealers offered me 26% more than I paid for it.

I'm thankful.
Interesting. Seems like there is some overlap with reStructuredText.
Unless we live in a computer simulation, of course, in which case we have to content ourselves with the IEEE floats.
This is the best demo video I've ever seen. It seems like a really fantastic product. Good luck!
Selling shovels during a gold rush is the surest way to stay wealthy.
Until recently, I spent the whole pandemic exclusively remote pairing. We always did driver/navigator and never did any controlling of each other screens. If we switched roles we’d just pull the branch and work on our own machines. Tuple is nice for doing that quickly as you can just take over sharing without having to ask the other person to stop first. Its markup tools are very nice and simple, too.
It isn't something you'll find out from crash tests. It's easy to make vision based automatic braking work perfectly in highly controlled test conditions. Making it work properly on the road is a whole other matter.
This sounds like a test that's too easy, so everyone scores 110% with extra credit.
This is pretty much one of Matt Levine's takes on all of crypto, and just the rampant financial speculation that has taken place in general since the beginning of 2020 - people bored and stuck at home are willing to throw away money to be part of a funny internet joke.

Do not do things that you hate, they will break you and diminish your passion for your work.

Better use your creative energy elsewhere.
Yes its a long range, they are optimizing for profit where MYP > MYLR and if your car has Full Self Driving (+$10K margin basically) they seem to be delivering those first per threads on tesla motors club.
NFTs don't need to have metadata at all, such as a pointer elsewhere.
Kick back, enjoy the ride and always have a list of reasons that are not tied directly to you for why your assigned project is delayed.
It's true that suddenly having a whole bunch of senescent cells killed at once could cause big problems. But the number of cells that become senescent is a small fraction of the cells that manage to off themselves the way evolution intended. If this is a problem it's a problem we're continually enduring and which won't be much worsened by the drug.
I did not know one could die by drinking too much coconut water. I feel like this may save my life as I could see myself as the kind of person who would probably drink large bottles of coconut water all day.
+1 I worked with someone in the late 1990s who didn’t run X Windows on his Linux laptop, just using Emacs as you do. He went to MIT, so at the time I thought it might be a thing there?

Have you tried the MathPlot shell backend, so you can get colored graphs in the Emacs interactive shell? I like that if I am doing any machine learning via SSH to a remote server.
I had a colleague who was a deep expert in ICD codes, and he used to regale us with funny ones. If I remember correctly, there's one about being wounded by shrapnel from a space ship.
> But I wonder, are we using all that computation effectively to make as much difference as our forebears did after the leap from pencil and paper to the 7090?

This sentiment seems very much like an Eternal September reference. I think widely available is great and the use cases should naturally dilute in terms of importance. It would be weird if people today only bought computers when trying to solve problems of the Apollo scale. I like that many users are effectively using technology as a toy, it’s become so much more that many back then would have imagined. Of course, some bad with the good but a net gain IMO.

Urban legend - even in NMT days, the antennas on cell towers were directional and tried to avoid uselessly radiating upwards. Good luck getting usable signal at any flight level of commercial flight. Even if you're low enough, it's not uncommon for calls to drop due to speed (in fact a common problem on higher speed trains, and newer cell networks do include improvements for high speed terminals due to that).

The mobile phone is just the most common device that is required to have its transmitter shut down, and part of that is that what is fine for home/office environment is not fine in aviation environment (different regulatory domains et al) so the easiest way is to mandate shutting down all transmitters then whitelist certain kinds (2.4GHz stuff like Bluetooth tends to get a pass because 2.4GHz is unlicensed due to possible interference from airliner's microwave ovens)
You can describe it to within measurement error without any irrational numbers. And with fewer decimal places than you'd probably imagine.

As others have pointed out, the software department is overbooked. And acquiring companies always underestimate the cost to clean up and integrate the software of the acquired company.

Try to get yourself transferred into the silo'd department if possible. You're not going to change corporate life. If you can stand corporate life, you might as well move into the most valued department that you can get into. If you can't stand corporate life, well, your options are the same either way. But you can use the transfer as a way to evaluate and update your skills.
It's hardly a caveat for SVG - where you usually want total control over the placement of the text elements.

Good point! Pushing an update now. Thank you.
Tried to access that site, and my internet provider (AT&T Fiber) marked it as a spam site and wouldn’t let me proceed unless I added it to a whitelist in my router. Very odd.
That's probably more to help limit the NIMBYism. Otherwise, why bother with the expense?
Have you ever used Pocket PC?

I used it. Everything from the original version that came on little tiny palmtops (Windows CE) to the near final version on things like the compact iPaq.

As a geek I found it interesting, but realistically it sucked.

It was eventually available on some of the early smart phones. It had its chance. It failed. Microsoft kept reinventing it trying to fix it, and it never worked. People preferred the “inferior“ PalmOS.

There’s a reason the iPhone came in and ate everyone’s lunch.

Microsoft had a chance. They were competing. They made changes. They rewrote the UI numerous times. They lost. BAD.

The idea that the Pocket PC was better than the iPhone is demonstrably, by sales, wrong.

The idea that the Pocket PC failed somehow because of the Microsoft antitrust settlement with the government… I don’t understand that one.
