I'm not sure I would count Dutch windmills, impressive as they are, as industrialization. People have been building windmills and watermills for a very long time. Industrialization started in Great Britain in the 1700s. Advancements in chemistry and metallurgical process had enabled the production of iron with coke, which can be mined much more cheaply than charcoal can be produced.

Emerging global trade networks incentivized producers to scale up indefinitely. The resulting innovations transformed the textile industry. Textiles are always in demand, and their non-mechanized production is extremely labour intensive. The lessons learned from mechanizing this industry were applied everywhere else. It's true that competition with cheap Indian labour was a major factor in textile automation in the UK, but these global trade networks could not have been sustained without massive advancements in stellar navigation provided by the invention of the telescope. This in turn was only made possible by advancements in chemistry that enabled the production of clear glass.

All of these processes were well underway before the abolition of slavery in the US. It should be noted that innovations such as the cotton gin were eagerly adopted by the slave-powered US cotton industry. There's nothing like efficiency for an industrialist.

With regards to automation, I think all of the low-hanging fruit has been picked. We're left with things that seem simple, but are in fact horribly difficult, and require near-human levels of dexterity and situational awareness, such as driving or construction work or food handling. That however doesn't mean that our society would be just fine if we provided workers in these industries an alternative to their jobs.
Found an example pretty quick..

Please go to [1] + [2] searches, while not a big channel on YouTube, ~200K subscribers in politics is kind of big for alternative-media with the top videos getting ~500K views.

And now, please note that every video on China is something like "China is actually doing more for Climate-Change", or "Is China to Blame For Covid-19?" all suggesting China has so many good parts that we missed...

While Israel search result are all about the conflict, ".. The [Media] BIAS", ".. The Death Toll".

While Israel is dominant enough to deserve such critics. The Bias of the channel against Israel and Pro China is a spectacle to be hold.

So I will now go return the straw to the barn because I can't seem to find any strawman.
Whoa, that is crazy!

TL;DR for folks is that they left a lot of debug information in the build. The C code was compiled with no optimizations (and included debugging symbols), and GOAL uses a string-based table for global functions/variables/types, so they're starting with all those for free. Plus they don't think the GOAL compiler did too much tricky-to-undo optimization either.
The history of logistics disagrees with this.

In most of Europe this sentence is considered basic education (European history is part of basic education). It is in the same category as the French revolution, Napoleonic wars, etc.
You use it sure, but du you know how much additional money was sirens just to work around problems with safari so that you don't notice a difference?

How many web apps where cancelled or has to be fundamentally changed because safari?

As a user you tend to not see it as safari is a high profile target and as such devs tend to make sure it works for it.
Well I just tried Painter 11 and the installer hang. Tried Amazon Games and the installer crashed. So I guess I will wait for 8 and try again.
Maybe it was just some sort of click bait to keep the reader on the page...
This is a "heads I win, tails I win" strategy. Give the fab business a chance to be independent and justify its massive capex and lower margin profile. Increase utilization of nodes to squeeze as much cashflow out of them as possible. If it continues to be a worthwhile cashflow endeavor, fantastic. If not, split the company and fetch a high price for a sophisticated and capable (if not #1) semi fab business.

Let the higher margin chip design business utilize whatever manufacturing process is most effective for its latest and greatest chip designs. Chip design and development won't be hamstrung by setbacks in manufacturing. Intel's scale will ensure most optimal pricing and deal terms with TSMC (if INTC doesn't use its own fab).

Along the way, there is additional upside optionality from government subsidies and support for a critical piece of infrastructure in the 21st century. Domestic fabs will be (if they aren't already) as high priority and critical to US national defense as the military hardware contractors (Boeing, Lockheed Martin, etc). That also ensures a floor to the price of the fab business should Gelsinger decide it should be sold.

Your reaction along with everything you describe is a perfectly normal reaction to death. You're overthinking this, and the reason you're overthinking this is precisely because you're in shock.

As this person meant something to you, you do indeed have a loss. You are processing this loss in your own way, which you will come to see in time. You do not need to worry about what others think of your reaction.

My one suggestion is to go through the activities of the mourning ceremonies even if they feel somehow trite or inapplicable. You may be surprised.
Waiting for everybody else to test the product before you migrate is perfectly common sense strategy. Especially if that product does not give you any special edge over competition.
A surprising number of stores (and restaurants - maybe especially restaurants) operate on razor thin margins.

Plus contrary to some romanticized images of the successful small business owner driving Porsches, most store/restaurant owners probably barely make enough to make ends meet.

How did you end up working on this?

It’s an interesting history.
I've been trying to fit CalDAV/CardDAV to that use case for some time, but given how the majority of any kind of useful implementation of that is in PHP (which itself is fine, it's just not my forte), or Python (Apple's server implementation), I've all but given up, setting sights on the big players you mention. But maybe there is something here. The hangup will be acting as a provider to the devices you care about - Apple has APIs in to contacts and calendars, but I wonder if they'll be as useful as native accounts would be? A fun thought experiment for a bit...
Some custom stylesheets or javascript would make short work of it. Extensions like `tampermonkey` or `violentmonkey` could inject them.

Obvious but still: Only ever run code that you yourself have written, or scripts you have personally verified to be safe.
> except, you know, the person you're conversing with this very moment, so that's a really bad (local) first approximation!

Well there's that saying about all models are wrong, and some are just more useful than others.

My country is thankfully becoming more secular as demographics change, so hopefully that first approximation improves over time.

It looks like they don't have a full goal spec, but are relying on the copious debug and runtime type information, as well as the simplicity of the original goal compiler (and arguably the simplicity of lisp itself) to come up with something close that's semantically equivalent.

Except they decided to "smear" leap seconds [0], instead of handling them appropriately.

For that reason, if you "require correct timestamps for legal purposes" [1], you may want to make sure that you aren't using Google's NTP servers.

(N.B.: Amazon (AWS) too, FWIW.)

PCI-E was hot pluggable since day 1, usually you have some extra bits and pieces to make it reliable though - depending on server it might involve switches or special card holders in case or card cages which you put the card in first. And usually some status leds and "attention, I want to remove this device" button.

A card cage design was used on some IBM machines, where you attach the card a slim sled with a lever attached, this allowed you to "slide in" the card into running computer then use the lever to push it into edge connector (this also handled powering up/down the connector, iirc).

Some servers have cases which instead implement that completely in the case itself, though usually that means you need more effort to do the replacement.

Then there are alternative PCI-E connectors - ExpressCard, U.2 & SATAExpress (used in SSDs), OcuLink and related (cabled PCI-E)

If it's any consolation, these comments here do not reflect a general opinion and liberal leaning places seem to have this anti-Israel agenda, and it seems to be more prominent recently. Maybe I'm just paying more attention.

That's not to say everything is perfect, no country is. But in perspective of everyone's actions in the region I support Israel overall.

I don't want to get into a political flamewar, just wanted to offer my support. I disagree with the premise of many opinions here about Israel.

Note that I'm not talking about people that are talking objectively about this specific event, I'm talking about the comments calling Israel an apartheid state, marriage, etc.
it's hard for me to respond to everyone so i'm going to hope that you will all be checking in on this at some point.

firstly, i want to say that i really appreciate your candor. for you all to share those personal stories with me, a stranger on the internet who lurks on a website, is very generous and appreciated.

secondly, much of the advice seems to center around the idea that there is nothing wrong with me; this is a strange and chaotic time for me, there is no by-the-book response. to quote user ss48:
<< "There is no 'normal' way to feel about a calamity because it is so out-of-place from everything else, and everybody copes differently and expresses it differently, at different times."

thank you. i believe this is what many of the lessons were also trying to get across. i don't know that i'll ever feel differently, but with some more time between the situation and me, i am starting to at least look at those feelings differently.

i hope in the coming years i can bounce back as you all have and return the favor to someone else.
The point is, they don't need a law to do what they want to do.

They need the law for some other reason.

Since they already have a monopoly, what better way to protect it than with federal laws regulating it? That creates a nice moat that makes competition even less likely.
Amazon sidewalk, actually. Should prove cheaper and work near any sense housing.
It is very useful. I have issues with how both GCHQ and NSA operate, but I also really like the tools they provide like Cyberchef and Ghidra as they automate a lot of workflows.

The 'magic' command in cyberchef is pretty magic, especially for obscure (to me) utf and language encodings, though I have certainly run down more than a few rabbit holes because it detects the file magic for 'inflate' compression in pretty much everything, which would be perfect for hiding embedded files because of the number of false positives that appear when you're looking for them, and it's just the algorithm someone of a certain vintage who was serious about hiding something from everyone but someone else of that era would use.

The image analysis stuff is great. I use palette randomization for detecting embeds, and the entropy analyzer/visualizer is great fast method for detecting encrypted and zipped payloads. I like that it's fast, and it's there on the web so I can use it on anything.
There's definitely a lot of spaces where this is true but a huge fraction of spaces are not even that complicated.

I volunteer my time for various pandemic assistance and basic income work and the number of finance companies (banks, payment processors, etc) that rely on a human being regularly downloading a CSV from one system and uploading it unchanged to another is _absolutely_asinine_.
Just a heads up that it's not working as expected in Chrome. I loaded the page and got an IP that wasn't mine, then refreshed the page and got a different IP that still wasn't mine. Upon further investigation, both incorrect IPs appear to be owned by CloudFlare.

Same results in Safari. Oddly enough, works as expected in Firefox.
Area of Northern Island: 5,456 square miles. Area of United States: 3.8 million square miles. Vast differences in population, ethnic and religious diversity, and the fact that the United States successfully expelled the British in the late 1700s. Whatever problems the US has today they are not based on religious differences or ongoing colonialism. Nor can internal rebels focus their energies on a couple of cities within a small nation.
It’s not better or worse: it works or it doesn’t. Making something convoluted and “artistic” just makes it harder for the next dev to deal with.

Wow your interview anecdote is totally different from mine. My interview at Disney+ was one of the weirdest I've ever had. Really open ended questions, but the interviewer was looking for very specific answers. At one point the interviewer just laid back in his chair and closed their eyes for a few minutes. I came away really confused and – unsurprisingly – without an offer but not really sure what I was expected to have done differently.

I have experienced the "circuit breaker" and seen others go through the same. It appears to be part of the shock reaction that stops us from freezing.

I have lost both parents, a relative to MND and two friends to ODs. In every case the sense unreality was the initial reaction. Helped me to remain functional at the time and then with time the waves of grief came.
CPU/memory live replacement in IBM mainframes is done on per-book basis IIRC. Used to be that single book had one or two CPU complexes (often each cpu was actually two running lockstep) but these days the density went way up.
A lot of people in my close social circle, myself included, took the pandemic very seriously with some degree of bunker mentality. Most of us got through 2020-2021 without getting infected. Yet left and right I hear friends and family getting infected with omicron now. I fully believe a lot of us are going to end up getting it, esp. that many workplaces are disallowing WFH.
Rather than try to corner company's into regulating & providing speech through checks & balances on their profitability, I'd really like to see online speech be something that users are broadly capable of moderating independently. Most moderation & curation services & systems should be opt in & separate. And ideally should function across sites, allow us to comment & reveal problematic users that work across sites (or to ignore those who are un-invested, low quality sock puppets).

Trying to change what these companys are, what they do: it seems like a truly sisyphean struggle. I don't see any hope of coercing them into becoming better. To me, the onus to be a responsible, healthy, positive society lies on the members of society; we lack the technical starting place to begin to experience these platforms in our own manner, lack the ability to start to self govern. But the conventional attitude right now seems to be that heightened centralization, amplified stronger louder more-active regulation & clamping down, that, as you propose, bigger sticks is the only win. To me, the bigger stick option is mad, is rampant destruction; we cannot place all the responsibilities of society upon an entity. Society has to have it's own stake in here, we can't just pass the buck & demand someone else fix the social quagmires.

But society must be given a chance to defend itself. Something the currently freedomless, constrained, walled gardens quite explicitly forbid.
The search tree size isn't an insurmountable issue. For exple OpenAI 5 managed to play DotA (though admittedly relied heavily on perfect timing and the ability to look at every enemy on the minimap at the same time, and lost a lot when people learned to play around the only strategy it knew).I think it'd be feasible to get an AI to play a modern deck.

I think it'd be much harder for the AI to do deck building in a vacuum. You could model it as every game starting with you building your deck, but I can't see that converging stably.
Between this, SM64 PC, and OpenLara, old-school games are fertile ground for custom code mods and general hackery-dackery. Probably illegal (but for the OpenLara engine, maybe) but still so cool.

And out of this we get a free implementation of GOAL, long thought lost!

The public in the West has been sold the idea that war is outdated for about 75 years. But in about one month from now, the public will wake up to the fact that the this idea is not quite unanimously shared, and in particular Putin does not care for it that much. In which case, the old advice of Teddy Roosevelt still carries some weight: "Speak softly, but carry a big stick".
As far as I know, GOAL/GOOL remains the only time Lisp has ever successfully been used in a video game. Given Lisp's near-mythic status of productivity, it at least piques my interest to see how ND might have used it creatively in the codebase.

That and I've always wanted to check out the language after Andy Gavin (ND founder) talked it up on here [0]

There this awesome new website called amazon.com and they will actually bring the stuff you order right to your house. It's kinda crazy.

They initially targeted governments in the Global South and excluded North America, Europe, and other high-income countries (see http://www.olpcnews.com/use_cases/education/childrens_machin... for a summary of their thinking early on). This did shift over time, though.
Interesting. Wasn’t aware of that option. And I agree that it feels strange to sign that data over to someone/something in that manner.
I've tried something similar for another operating system and it did not work out. Just to get an answer from the rights holders was a real challenge. I wish you much good luck. There ought to be some kind of software abandonment law to allow people to salvage software that is no longer in maintenance or that can't be bought.
> I personally predict there will be some elements of a great product but not entirely. the ultimate focus is on money and business value, not the product.

Ultimately, it will depend on the team building it. Microsoft, the entity, couldn't give a rat's ass about the product, but the people building it might.

At this point, technology has advanced to a point where some truly innovative gameplay mechanics could be employed with relative ease. We're living in a summer of AI and game ones are still dumb as bricks. With the power of cloud and current AI research papers, I think a world could really feel alive with today's technology.
Yup, definitely industries (like web3/crypto/defi) where this can be done in the short term, but it still constitutes a lot of risk for the long term.

Even if you are getting $1M in cash today, who knows if you'll get it the following year when the underlying token they're liquidating to pay you in cash loses value and the founders are getting rekt. In some cases, you may only get the cash for a few months.

I agree that HN loves to hate it on crypto, but as this community ages you have to expect somewhat of a more risk-averse mindset to set in. Even YC funding is so high, I don't consider it as risky as it was 10 years ago.
I wondered if some of the issue is how people are caught? Are they getting caught with obvious evidence breaking into the containers, or are most getting caught scrounging through packages on the ground?
A static AWS credential (otherwise known as "AWS Access Key ID & AWS Secret Key") can be leaked or stolen. The stolen AWS credentials can then be re-used again and again by whoever has them because they're not temporary.

A static credential is sometimes shared among many users, making it very difficult to audit their use.

When was the last time you changed the AWS credentials when somebody left a company? They probably still have the old credentials and they probably still work.

If your computer gets infected with malware, the malware can look for credentials on your system (not difficult to match on them with regular expressions searching through files).

Some people use their own user's personal static credentials for things like CI/CD, and their personal static credentials often have Admin access to the AWS account. This is a lot more access than should be given to some automation system.

A hacker can use them to spin up 100 giant EC2 instances in your AWS account to mine crypto / send spam / DDoS, and charge your AWS account $500,000 in a month.
Most DLCs are not part of Game Pass, so if you really enjoy a particular game you can still purchase the DLC (at a discount), even without owning the base game. Of course this only makes sense for as long you are a Game Pass Subscriber. You would unfortunately need to purchase the base game from the Xbox / Microsoft Store before you can play your previously purchased DLC.
I'm honestly taken aback by how middle of the road you are about that situation.

In what world is it a good thing that instead of accepting an offer to provide a needed service that you're in the business of, you refuse the offer and sue/lobby the requester into submission out of spite.

This world is so, so broken.
I placed an order just this month from Costco, with UPS sending three separate "Shipment has left LA" notifications repeating every few days, and the "UPS 3-day delivery" ended up taking over two weeks in the end. The 4th delivery attempt then originated from Canada and did arrive. I didn't have to do anything about it, and it didn't show any errors like "oops we lost the package". This makes me think that they did lose the package(s), and either UPS or Costco just ate the cost.
