AFAICT, Browsix is meant to work more like Wine than like jslinux. The goal is to allow devs to deploy native executables to the web browser more seamlessly because it provides ways for standard javascript to interact with the program. JSLinux is a full system emulator and thus has more overhead and doesn't have a method to cleanly interact with the world outside of the emulator.

The latex editor example is the one that best demonstrates the concept. It is a standard JS frontend that is invoking an unmodified pdflatex for rendering. In all other 'OS in the Browser' projects I'm aware of it would have to be a desktop application that just happens to be getting rendered in the browser. With plain emscripten or webassembly you would need to modify pdflatex to support a method to accept jobs and return results while not relying on any OS level features.
Yes, the prediction is incredibly accurate.

So my question would be: Is this a case of selection bias (survival bias)?

Did we cherry picked one accurate prediction (at the right time) out of many different predictions made about the future?
I just want to thank you for your incredible work. I'm a fellow countryman migrating a Python program that fetches financial data from a large amount of sources, that's become very hard to maintain, to Elixir. The BEAM fits my use case perfectly, and Elixir has been an absolute joy to work with and debug.

Sorry, this is super shady. So this will only help with your new license model if you’ve already upgraded to v4.

If a vulnerability is found in v3, will there be a security patch? If so, how will you notify users that you’ve now encouraged to entirely disable updates?

I'd managed to forget that usage, though I've commented on it previously (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24396681#24406061).

Apparently I've now lost that game.

The term (as a word, not an acronym) is also used to refer to self-indulgence, generally among males. That and earlier references suggesting various modes of beat being laid down are what I was referencing with my etymology link above.
The keyword here is “visible”; for most of these things, though the change is real, it is also easily missed, with the exception of, as you say, thousands of satellites that orbit the earth constantly (space missions are not however already flying past the limits of our galaxy, they’re just about reaching the heliopause; even just leaving the plane of the Galaxy is 200,000 times further than that, while leaving the rim of the Galaxy is about 12 million times further).

Video conferencing worldwide? If you draw attention to it, I suspect it would’ve surprised 1922 people that anyone richer than a literal subsistence farmer would also have a device of their own for the other end of the call, but the existence of the technology itself would not be surprising.

For visible changes between 1922 and 2022? New materials, new lighting, new fashion, drones, the public acceptability of same-sex relationships, race relations (in particular attitudes to those of pre-Colombian, African, and Chinese descent), and possibly also visible might be the absence of disfiguring illnesses that we have now vaccinated against.

But those are likely less than the changes from 1822 to 1922.

(The Blue Marble, or the photos of astronauts walking on the moon… I don’t know if those would’ve been shocking or not. Jules Verne died in 1905).

This sounds like the problem that despite all of the effort at preventing simple programming errors, 1/3rd of all the bugs you encounter are "simple" programming errors.

Programming errors are of special interest to programmers, as we tend to judge each other a bit harshly when these errors emerge as the problem is not on the business side or other teams making requirements.

Ask HN: Share your fav quirky, weird, interesting websites (like postcrossing)?
One of my favorites is postcrossing.com - a huge community of people interested in postcards. some 65 million postcards sent, tons of friendships formed, thousands of meetups etc. I'd have never guessed that so many people can be so passionate about postcards - I doubt most young people today have sent/received even a single postcard.

What are some of your favorite corners of the web? There was one site where someone was digitizing tens of thousands of newspapers all by himself, one where a couple (I think) wrote passionately about various plants... I forgot to bookmark them, my bad.

Anyway, please share your favorites and why. Not just websites, apps are good too. I am tired of going to the same websites everyday (reddit, some youtube channels...) - would be nice to discover projects that are primarily born out of passion, unlike the 99.99% of the web whose primary goal is money.
No, it's not the definition of puppet state. Wikipedia:

> A puppet state is a state that is de jure independent but de facto completely dependent upon an outside power and subject to its orders.

Even though Kazakh president does become dependent on Russian forces to some degree, I don't see how 3000 soldiers can control a country with an army of 100,000, National guard of 32,000 and 86,000 policemen. It may give an upper hand, but against whom? There's even no organized opposition.

If you make paragons Czechoslovakia uprisings in 1968, then USSR sent 500,000 soldiers and 5,000 tanks in a 10 times smaller country.

So it was 3 orders of magnitude larger intervention than this.

Using a military treaty in case of a popular unrest may be illegitimate, but it's nowhere near a puppet state.
Go NoVax Djokovid!
Sorry I'm so late in my reply. I largely agree with you. After reading the "manifesto" of TST I find that it's much more to my taste (although keeping "Satan" in the name is a bit much of an "inside joke" for me- the evangelicals in my family can't get past it.
I never said I don't want accountability, I totally do. I want courts to be in control of this, oversight, etc. But with those things in place, I do want this.

Perhaps it's a cultural thing. I don't see the government as fundamentally against me. Yes, it has serious agency issues, and goes wrong from time to time, but essentially the government is "us", not "them". The opposing sentiment seems to be particularly popular in the US, perhaps that's part of the divide. I want the society, through appropriate representatives, to be in control of people abusing the roads, and I value that more than individual's illusory rights to road privacy (since if the government wants to track them, they'll do it anyway with barely more difficulty).

This breaks down in oppressive states, but that's not what we're talking about here.
They'll be even more bitter ten years from now.
Does Pi-Hole also work with other SQL databases? If yes, you could host PostgreSQL on another Pi (or something beefier). Or maybe there is an adapter library that makes it possible to access another SQLite database via the network (not talking about NFS, as SQLite developers discourage from that).
Thanks for the recommendation. I've read the book by Eric Evans and I like the first chapters about creating an ubiquitous language.
I'm trying to figure out how to create a balance between the spoken language in code and the actual implementation of the code.

You also see this with long term couples.

When a husband or wife of 40 to 50 years dies, many times it seems the surviving spouse dies within the year, even when they were healthy at the time of death of the first spouse.
> The size of the system font was basically a proxy for DPI.

Not entirely. The font size can still be changed independently of the DPI, and not everything should be scaled as a result. Things like dividing lines and padding probably shouldn't be scaled when the font size is increased.

You still need a distinct DIP value independent of scaled font size. So the value of 'dp' vs. 'sp' in Android terms, which it looks like Windows' now also has that distinction.

And yeah this is ignoring that things like the visual winforms tool in Visual Studio really just wanted to operate in fixed positions, and just getting things to work when the window was resized wasn't always intuitive or obvious. So even if the APIs were there, the ecosystem definitely didn't care about it and Microsoft's own tools definitely didn't help.
Ask HN: What's the value of Apple's ecosystem to you?
Undoubtedly, one major difference between the Android and iOS is the coherent ecosystem that Apple provides among its devices and OSs. But is it something that's unique to Apple, or is it possible to replicate some of it with a mixture of Android and Windows devices?

I like Android, and I like that it's possible to de-google many Android devices using custom ROMs. But I don't think it's possible to de-apple any iDevice (and why would you, because that'd take away all the nice ecosystem features). Still though, I hate it when there's no easy way to share files between Android and Windows even in 2022 (as opposed to AirDrop), there's no way I can "easily" copy my hand-drawn figures on iPad to Windows (as opposed to Hand-off feature between macOS and iOS devices), and there's still no viable alternative to Apple Watch for Android.

This means that despite Apple's greedy pricing and some really great Android phones introduced each year, still, IMO Apple provides a higher value because of its tight ecosystem and the synergy among them:

Value(iPhone) + Value(iPad) + Value(MacBook Pro) < Value(All three)
> now instead of doing y, the person is now free to explore more leisurely pursuits

We are exploring more leisurely pursuits, though instead pursuing hobbies and building relationships, we're consuming media. The average American adult spends over half their day doing so. A lot of it is probably passive background noise, but it's a lot nonetheless.

...trying to actively undermine democracy.

What "democracy" is this? Is that the word you're using for a "choice" between Biden and Trump? Good grief.
It is always a surreal experience to see the sheer scale at which western media outlets deploy propaganda and rewrite history.

Attempts to overthrow governments in Belarus, Russia and Kazakhstan are "protests." So are attacks on the residence of the President of Kazakhstan with rifles and grenades, and burning down the office of the mayor of Almaty.[1]

The same outlets described the mild violence by a congregation of Trump supporters near the Capitol last year as a "coup," "attack" and "riot."

> It lets a lot of innovation happen in other languages, then takes the successful parts for itself

The only time I've ever had to use Java was for a computer science class, and I thought it was a solid language (pun intended), but I hated its half-assed attempt at operator overloading.

I think it's a major feature that's long overdue to be fully implemented in Java, because it's already used for some of Java's built-in classes and it's proven useful in many other programming languages.

Most of Java seems very well-thought-out to me, but for some reason they decided to add only some operator overloading, instead of planning ahead more.

I remember hearing somewhere that they were planning on adding operator overloading, but last I checked it didn't look like it was going anywhere.
Chesterton's fence applies. The seniority system has serious drawbacks, but it has the advantage of being simple and difficult to game. It limits the damage caused to organizations by manipulators who would use more sophisticated systems to rig the workforce for personal or political advantage. It means that the average Ontario kid will encounter an average and well-distributed selection of both good and horrible teachers. Ignore the value of that at your peril.

My kids are+were in the Ontario system. I pay attention to their quality of education. Across my parenting circles there are kids in every type of school and program conceivable. I could afford to send mine to private school if I thought it necessary. One of my kids is now at a competitive university with smart and hardworking kids from across the globe and he was well-prepared by his high school. In my opinion we are getting a good distribution of good outcomes, should consider ourselves lucky, and be careful not to take our system for granted, or accidentally break it through ideology or ignorance. And almost no one knows what works and what doesn't, but I believe that part of what works is treating teaching as the serious and challenging profession that it is, and letting them get on with it. You know, pretty much what we want from our stakeholders?

I am very much of the opinion that we must be all-in on one public school system, with explicit objectives: providing a good education, underpinning social cohesion, encouraging individual diversity, seeking equality of opportunity.

(I am not a teacher or in any union, and neither is anyone in my family.)

I think it's important to keep a consistent style in a repository. Ideally, the style should be kept _among_ repositories too, but given that different people like different thing, allowing them to explore the pros and cons might be a better strategy to achieve it.
The fast and the curious: the rise of the running club
I think there's some truth to the idea that sci-fi relies on and mimics the same type of living to some degree. In order to have a successful book, you need the consumer to feel a connection. That's hard to do if everything is fundamentally different from what they know.

I would also say that some stories do change one or two fundamental aspects at a time. Sometimes just to explore the inverse of current society.
Because that's what determines how much you can exchange each BTC for - not necessarily in USD but in terms of goods. Those are substantially they only things that determine how much each BTC is worth. You have to trust they don't unravel or your net worth will be substantially impacted.

Without an attached justification I can't tell whether this is serious or not.
Maybe your interview wrong and hire wrong people?

Seems that you hire people who are good at bullshitting during the interview, not the ones who are actually good at their job (what is not easy btw, many people are bad at bullshitting and bad at their jobs).

Obviously most interns are green, but it seems you get the ones who are good at the interview phase and expect them to read your mind somehow and acquire the skills that.. you dont teach them. Do they know that they are supposed to do the things you want? Are they told how?

Also it is pretty funny that after 3 years of management you didnt notice that what all those failed interns have in common is... you.

It's important to remember that 77 percent of U.S. adults take dietary supplements. We all eat "corned beef hash and pumpkin pie" yet the majority of people already use supplements as pill as needed.

Defining AI in Policy versus Practice
>To put this in simplest terms: Every cent someone makes from whatevercoin, has to be put into the system by someone else. A house appreciates in value since living space is a scarce commodity facing growing demand...it's sarcity and thus its appreciation in value is a natural process caused by usefulness and demand.

You just fell over your own point there. Both houses and bitcoins go up in price if the demand for them goes up or the supply of them goes down... calling demand 'put into the system' when you disapprove changes nothing.

Also there are plenty of people who use houses as 'tokens of value' only to flip them when the market is favorable, and there are plenty of people who use crypto as a functional currency when other options are unfavorable to their circumstance.
A Fascinating, Sexy, Intellectually Compelling, Unregulated Global Market
Frekonomics' look at the art market, part 1 of 3.
I think a lot of haters do, they align the behavioural qualities of a ponzi scheme with Bitcoin by pointing out how the only way a unit of BTC can have value is by selling it forward to another person.

Which is indeed a property of any money; if nobody wants it, it cannot have value.

However, I'm not sure they've taken the time to think about what the real-time monetization of a newly discovered commodity looks like. It took gold thousands of years to become a global currency, and now we have something similar but with the speed of the internet. With the physical properties of the Bitcoin protocol / blockchain (halving, fixed supply, etc.), it starts to look very obvious as to why people want to front run it, or use it as a store of value. And so the expected behaviour becomes obvious.
> A fiat currency will only collapse if you lose faith in the state and the ability of the judicial system to enforce repayment.

My point was that fiat currencies live and die by the trust in governments that issue them. "Full faith and credit".
You can try, though - and demonstrate that you did. I've seen bugs that would have been trivially caught if the software had been run even one time - so it was clear that the software had never been run even one time.

Show HN: PHP programmer created Linux distribution without package manager
I don't think the idea was suggesting that TOTP would be the _only_ method to get in. In fact the code just decides to accept or reject the incoming connection. The normal SSH auth flow would still need to be completed.

So you would need to brute force SSH (which is already decently hard) AND brute force the IP every 30 seconds.

This would stop the constant and relentless failed auth logs. (Yes there are other methods, but this one is novel and good as well)
On the Photoshop team we have dedicated staff to monitor, triage, and respond to these issues. You’re right in that we cannot address _everything_ that comes in from these boards- the sheer volume is too much. Nevertheless we do use it to identify top customer issues and our dev schedule prioritizations are influenced by them.

To wit: I’m known on the team for sussing out information from corrupted PSDs, and get called on about once a quarter to look into a bad file that’s come in. That wouldn’t happen as frequently without the community site.

Don’t worry; no offense taken.

I think it’s important to recognize that there’s a dynamic tension in the system. Typically, people have expertise in a domain through their experience in it. People who worked in the oil industry know more about oil exploration than, say, I do. Rules I would make about the oil industry would be uninformed, and would likely be terrible. Yet you can’t have 100% self regulation or you end up with regulatory capture.

People are complicated and these are hard issues. In my experience few people show up intending to be completely selfish about their activities.

I have seen the opposite effect in my grandmother. She is definitely not on a mission. She just wants to live as long as she could, despite outliving pretty much everyone her age group and also her children. She's never been saying "when I'm gone..." or stuff like that, like it was not a possibility. But she often liked to say to other people something along "don't do this or you will die" - i.e. "don't work too hard because you will die". People much younger than her. Never said something like that in context of herself. The only exception is recently, after my father's death she asked my mother: "will you take care of my funeral?" but then she shortly added "if you live long enough that is" or something like that. My mom is 58 and grandma is 93.

I think it's a bit like ego thing and positive feedback loop. She takes pride in her longevity.
