To be honest, with the way Apple does support for releases 1 or 2 back from current, you could potentially do this easier nowadays: just don't support the current version (e.g Monterey), only target Catalina or Big Sur. When Monterey is no longer the new one (only receiving security patches), that's when you roll it forward.

Zig's "fancy" (I don't think they're that fancy) type features that IMO make it a great C alternative are:

- non-null pointers, and distinct types for single-item pointers and multi-item pointers (multi-item pointers are rarely used except indirectly via slices, so unchecked pointer arithmetic errors are largely banished)

- builtin tagged unions (AKA algebraic data types) with very pleasant to use switch logic -- it can't be overstated how nice the "handle all the cases" logic is in Zig in general (catch, orelse, if-else/switch expressions)

- a decent proposition for errors (the error union, and try keyword), but I haven't decided if I really like it yet

There's lots of non-type stuff there too. I was writing personal projects in C without libc, but found there to be a lot of annoying work involved -- happy to do it, but it's not earned/fruitful annoyance, more like a long list of incidental historical annoyances. Zig seems to cater to the same level of the stack, but with all that boring stuff taken care of.
As far as I understand it, NFTs usually represent the title for the copyright, etc for the piece of art or whatever other non fungible item it is supposed to represent. Honestly NFTs should be pointing to a legal document showing that it's acting that way in addition to a copy of the image asset. 2 urls. Maybe NFTs do or should have an addendum part for transactions, so you can add URL or hash updates as hosting goes down.

When you transfer an NFT from one address to another, you have transferred title to whoever owns the private keys for it.
>>>> 1. These are all technological developments, not scientific developments. Even MRNA-vaccines leading edge stuff was being built when I was in grad school (20 years ago). So judging by what technical developments are coming out now, may be a lagging indicator on science.

I'm not a life scientist, but a physicist developing scientific equipment. My impression is that every branch of "science" has a technological side, to an extent that varies from one branch to another. Making and testing new therapies has been undertaken under the umbrella of life science for a long time. I think one reason is that the same "hands" that are good at doing the basic science work are also needed for technology work in those fields.

Another is that the underlying science isn't robust enough to expect a scientific development to be handed off to an engineering department without needing to learn more science along the way.

It's not like physics, where a mainstream engineer working on a technology is highly unlikely to discover gaps in physics theory.

After a great discussion on Twitter, it comes down to normalisation: I normalised the final EOTF-1 sRGB encoded values while the author normalised the intermediate linear sRGB values and did the EOTF-1 encoding after. We used the same Standard Observer.
OK, well let's look at the stimulus effects in the US. We have a real world example of a short term experiment like UBI.

It shook up the labor market and now you've got worker shortages. People aren't working unless they have to. Everyone has to offer more money.

I'm.happy about all this BTW. But it certainly goes against the claim in this article.
Would those people have extra means to influence political laws to be more in their favor?
Even a small amount of income gives breathing room. That's the idea here. A full UBI would mean there's no chance of suffocating. I'm saying that we can dip our toes in first and we should still see effects. It isn't an all or nothing scenario as many put forward.

The signals have to be personal because if they had to do with metrics (that were good), you wouldn't have this problem. In my opinion, it's when either/most/all of these are true:

- you don't feel you are capable (or want to) fix growth

- you don't see any hope - ie you picked the wrong problem and there's no p/m fit

- you are not hustling enough to fix the problems and you don't know why (prob because you lost passion or steam)
Firing up EMM386/JEMM386 underneath this environment, or writing 32-bit code, may go against the 8088 spirit of the project. A physical EMS card is an expensive pain to obtain, and you'd probably want to speak to its hardware directly rather than loading a DOS device driver, but it would be period-accurate :) There's old ones on eBay and modern replicas like https://texelec.com/product/lo-tech-ems-2-mb/

You can do virtual memory above the 256kb mark with the most advanced 80s cards but they're even rarer (I think DESQview worked best with this setup, and its what the 386+ software EMM implementations give you). For regular EMS which only works in a single 64kb region, disk caching and RAMdisk were common use cases, which didn't require rearchitecting the OS or applications to understand a new addressing scheme.

On 286+ you can also call a BIOS function to copy to/from extended memory, using only 8088 instructions in your own code, but of course the BIOS code will rely on newer processor instructions to make it happen. http://www.ctyme.com/intr/rb-1527.htm

To my mind, move semantics being "the only exception" is a pretty bad joke. Unlike C++ Rust's assignment semantics are moves. So, you're not opting in to anything here as with C++ move, this is just how everything works.

For example, if you were to make the second a_string mutable, and then on the next line re-assign it to yet a third string containing "quux", the "bar" string gets dropped immediately, as a consequence of move semantics again.

In C++ you'd have to go write a bunch of code to arrange that, although I believe the standard library did that work for you on the standard strings - but in Rust that's just how the language works, you assigned a new value to a_string so the previous value gets dropped.

>Brown Windsor soup is a hearty British soup that is said to have been popular during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. //

Perhaps to say something like "Brown Windsor soup appears to be a fictional foodstuff referenced in British comedies from the mid-20th Century. Some people insist it is a real foodstuff and recent recipes founded in fictional universes, such as the Harry Potter cookbook, include an actual recipe (with no evidence that it is in anyway historic)."

The quoted part you give would be like saying "Endor is a moon planet orbiting the Outer Rim planet of the same name, said to have been a forest moon a long time ago." without mentioning that its origin is [as far as evidence suggests] in fiction.

Couple of links with a little more but mostly the same as has been covered in this thread:

It would be interesting to see what Keith Floyd (Floyd on Britain & Ireland, By Keith Floyd, 1988 includes a recipe https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/91F2K-ZRDxL... shown in the Amazon preview) has to say about this. I wonder if the BBC have any details in their archives if the recipe was in the TV series https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1720675/?? [fwiw https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03gprry seems to me to be the most likely episode if any mention it?]

I couldn't agree more. There was a youtube series by Linus Tech Tips on linux. basically on perspective of someone new to linux, using it as a daily driver. he points out some big issues in linux. and instead of people acknowledging it, everyone went batshit crazy and just got offended over it. It's insane. it's really a cult
The platform `problem` shouldn't be a problem, because you wouldn't use ruby outside of Linux, Windows, Mac, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Rust has support for more than that[1]. Backwards compatibility isn't a concert either, Rust promised and kept it for some years (after 1.6).

The real problem is whether or not the expense of porting it is justified. Taking a look at the git repository of it (before it was merged into upstream), I understand why they want to rewrite it in Rust, the repository looks like a complete mess. I don't know if they want to use an existing JIT codegen like LLVM or Cranelift, or their own.

Aren't they all free? I think that's why they are all below the usability threshold for most us.

I used to use Ubuntu, but got tried of having to configure basic shit (e.g. dual monitors), always look up how to install stuff and getting the answer "just copy this code into your terminal to get this package and install" (as you say, "go add some random repo"). Updates to software didn't happen all that smoothly.

It was just really rough around the edges. I would have been happy to pay a company 5-10 USD per month to smooth out those edges for me.
Has anyone here has used FreeNX? I had read good things about its performance over the network (and even cell networks), but I've never encountered anyone who's actually used it. I guess I'm going to have to be the person to try it so I can be the "person who's used it" to others. And to those wondering, I think this is relevant to this link, as I believe FreeNX is more-or-less the X11 protocol, but does much more caching and compression.

He didn't make NESticle or Genecyst or Callus for anyone but himself. That much should've been obvious by the UI for each emulator. Obviously, he wanted to write a 65(C)816 and SPC700 emulator in 1997, so he did.

Considering how badly his privacy was violated during the late 90's, it's not even a little surprising that he never released it.
>Google pays external hackers who find vulns in popular apps via a rewards program.

How does that work? Is the submission farmed out to a 3rd party as part of the verification process, and proactively checked? Or is it reactive, similar to a bug bounty? Are there people out there making their living running apks in desktop simulators looking for issues?

I always wondered about the economics of checking huge quantities of arbitrary code (well, bytecode) for vulnerabilities, even for a 30% cut (which is probably 0 for 99% of apps, right? I would expect a power law distro). Kinda sounds like Google solved this by running the apks through something like a CI/CD gauntlet and then...hoping for the best.

And of course you can't be too transparent or bad actors will game the system. It's almost as if, as a sibling commentor mentions, it's just not possible to adequately run a walled garden that adequately detects malice at scale.

Here's an idea: instead of charging 30%, you should waive that if the dev team agrees to vet 5 other apps for you, over time, especially the open source ones.
this is a problem: your interpretations contradict.

Yes, if it was only about hygiene, this would seem strange. But the actual passages are more complex: and naturally, ignoring symbolism, ignoring the whole context, the huge difference between Law and human rules, the giant focus on sin in thousands of years of Scripture, Christ's ministry and the Law, Israel society, one can leap to any interpretation he wants.

We can also add James epistle , James 4:8-9:
"Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world."

I am not a physicist but I have gone through most of the courses. It is aimed at preparing you to be able to read theorethical phisics research papers. It is not supposed to be practical and is ignoring engineering physics and history of phsics for the most part.

I think you can learn here the core concepts in theorethical phisics even at the masters program level, but you will not go through the same "math muscle training" that college students go through, so you will have to supplement that from elsewhere.

I think there's a technological aspect too where after 2000 or so, nobody has really figured out as many new novel sounds to make with synthesizers or turntables or instruments or whatever. The technology of music instrument/tool development plateaued, so the novelty started to as well.
It's a fundamental question wether people should be allowed to take on risks or not.

If you are leaning towards the "no they should not" side, then consider that doing a startup is also very risky. So maybe that should be illegal, too? Or at least, there should be government startup specialists that evaluate ideas and decide wether people should be allowed to create such startups?

Or should there be an elite of people who would be allowed to create startups, and the poor people (can't afford the risk) should be restricted to union jobs?

Ask HN: Is there a fast (60fps) Remote Desktop to control Mac from Windows?
I have been looking for ages. I have tried VNC / Teamviewer but they are not fast enough on a home network. I have tried virtual machines, and again they are not fast enough.

Is there any fast option out there to control a MAC from a PC?

The reason I need this is to run software that isn't available for windows.
Ask HN: Is there a functional programming language with the benefits of Go?
- Fast compilation, producing a single binary

- Fast execution

- Good standard library for things like quickly spinning up a zero-dependency HTTP service

Basically, I have a problem which is well suited to Go, but which would benefit from persistent data structures. Go has some in the form of some libraries, but it really feels like I'd be better off hacking this thing together in OCaml or something. The problem with OCaml, at least, is lack of parallelism and lack of a simple HTTP solution.

Any suggestions?

One way to look at it: advertisements are trying to influence your thoughts and behavior. At least micro-transactions are (or can be) a simple and honest exchange of money for a service.
In my experience, what you need is to have a system to keep track of multiple things and be able not to multitask, but to be able to do things in a serial way. It's just much more productive and enjoyable.

Perhaps think of it as two steps? One of physics and biology, using minimally-flawed spectra, CMFs, and math, to get a plausible chromaticity. And a separate step of communication, using standards of sRGB and image ICC tags (rendering intent), to get browsers to convey that chromaticity to the user as a minimally-misleading (for the use case) color.

Thus the 10 vs 2 deg CMF choice might depend on the physical angular size of the emitting area. And before browsers supported rendering intent, for use cases where users were eyeball comparing the color with screen white, one might calculate using a very non-standard D58 white-point, as the blue-ish D65 would make white chromaticity render as a pink color, with users misled to think the chromaticity was pink.
LXD uses privileged containers, though - this exposes a lot more attack surface, since uid 0 inside the container equals uid 0 outside.

what percentage of grant budgets "pad" for unofficial research, in your opinion?
