I put an NEC V20 in my Amiga 2000's A2088 BridgeBoard for a nice boost in performance, and I've recently replaced the 8MHz 8088-2 in my recent acquired Tandy 1000HX with a V20. It's a great telnet BBSing machine. I've got some pics of the Tandy and the upgrade process in a gallery:

> I feel like I am in a "late-game" stage of gaming. I have sort of an overview of what is going on, but a major percentage of games simply look not interesting (anymore) to me.

I feel similar. I usually play slightly older AAA games with the bugs ironed out, indie or AA, or games 5-20 years old based on the amount of interesting looking mods available. Reliving games from your childhood with quality of life improvements, new game modes, campaigns and better graphics is a blast. Browsing the most modded games on ModsDB or NexusMods is great for inspiration. /r/patientgamers is good too.

So many AAA developers and publishers are pushing out nonstop cash grabs with no respect for players, especially with sequels in previously beloved franchises. EA, Rockstar, Ubisoft etc are all at it. It was inevitable when gaming became so mainstream and more profitable than Hollywood.

I understand what you mean, but I see a series of lucky moments, that all had to happen for the paper to be published.

Sokal picked it up, even if usually he doesn't. The journal rejected it and they had to extra push it etc.

You can see how many rebutals, done without podcasts are never heard of when going through the oficial path.
Neither was the open letter.
I dunno, I think it’s fine for some train lines to be unprofitable when there are so many that are massively so.

In fact, I think there are many things like that in Japan (mailing things comes to mind), where the cost is so low it’s reasonable for anyone. Or where I can go to an out of the way town serviced by one gasoline powered train a day.

You can say that it’s all loss making, and you would be right. Japans public debt increases every year, seemingly without limit. But this has zero effect on people’s lives, whereas closing the only train line that services their home…
Rather than write crypto, what I'd actually recommend is to break it. Schneier put together a block cipher cryptanalysis course a long time ago and while I don't usually recommend his crypto books these days, the course is good: https://www.schneier.com/academic/archives/2000/01/self-stud... (in this case, his crypto book might actually be useful, because it documents some of these out of date ciphers. There's (was?) a mistake in the DES code though iirc).

It is essentially a tour of all the early cryptanalysis literature, complete with suggestions of ciphers to target (e.g. FEAL). This will give you a sense of how the attacks work. Many of the ciphers are old, but I wouldn't let that put you off.

The study technique for this would be a) implement each cipher with toggles to control rounds and any other features, then implement attacks. Most of the papers should be open access by now since the 'course' was written in the year 2000. You could also 'catch up' on the constructions and attacks that have come out since.

I would caveat this with: what I am advising is purely for potential interest. Bear in mind there is little need to implement new block ciphers these days (what I'm saying is: this is a very specialized skill and most people won't find jobs in it).
Are there any gaming laptop manufacturers that you could recommend?

My only concerns would be:

1. Paying the "gamer" tax. I assume these are going to be higher priced because they're targeting a culture big on edgy aesthetics and with plenty of disposable income.

2. Do the GPUs on these come on discrete cards that can be removed? I have no need for a gaming GPU... On my current laptop, I removed the nVidia GPU it came with and just run the laptop on the integrated Intel graphics. Zero problems with it ever.

Winter Olympics opening ceremony viewership down 43% from 2018
Oh yes, I see the problem statement and agree from a PM perspective this is quite good.

That said, there are a lot of people who make good money making inferences from these current concrete dynamics - in some sense, you're just forcing the market to innovate (this is good).

I always like to know who I'm asking to change when building products -- and this one is a very interesting (read: fun and potentially lucrative) set of actors.
aftermarket batteries are AWFUL though, I played that game with my Thinkpad for a number of years before sucking it up and buying an OEM replacement. I was lucky to get six months out of an aftermarket battery and sometimes they were out of balance and dying within a matter of weeks. And once the OEM supply is truly gone (or aged out of existence) you're done anyway, unless you crack open the pack and replace the cells yourself.

The way you replace a MBP battery is you take it to apple and have them do it for you. It makes absolutely no sense to pay to have it cracked open and serviced and then put a $30 ebay shit battery in it that will fail in 3 months - which if you're not going to an apple service center, is probably what you're getting. $200 isn't cheap but a genuine lenovo OEM battery (one which even still may have been sitting on a shelf for years and the cells are no longer at their best) will cost you about $125 from a legitimate source. $200 for a fresh battery with installation isn't really all that bad. For something with a 3-5 year lifespan, that's just the cost of using the device, same as a phone.

I like serviceable devices too, and I think the parts should have to be made available to the market, but batteries and screens are two areas where I "get it" in terms of the protectionism around parts supply. There's a huge difference between the OEM and the aftermarket parts in these areas, and customers are going to want to know why YOUR device is draining THEIR battery in 30 minutes all of a sudden. Don't you know they just had the battery replaced last month!? It's YOUR fault! Regardless of whether it actually is, you've got a lot of extra service work and a lot of upset customers. Louis Rossman is a cool guy and I'm sure he personally is careful to only use legitimate parts (or at least be upfront that it's not an OEM part) but he's only presenting his half of the story there.

There is my collection of hundreds of personal and IT-related blogs/homepages: http://www.stargrave.org/LinksCatPersonal.html
Since I care about memorable stories that emerge through play, convenience is not king. It’s a difficulty balance to strike, as we all have different frustration tolerance and different reasons for playing games in the first place. I’ve always been an explorer in games, and I used to care more about being powerful. Now what little free time I spend in games is less about the (illusion of the) end goal and more about the escape into a low/no-stakes arena where the journey matters most and I don’t much care if this moment is the last I’ll ever spend in this game. I’m trading time and some light decision-making practice for memories, both solo and with friends.
The Future of Kidtech: A Web Browser for the Under-10 Set
The area between thinking others are "absolutely not cheating" and "definitely cheating" is huge, and where most online gamers end up spending their time. Absolutely cheating is not a problem, because most games allow you to report people, and they'll get enough reports and be banned shortly. Not being able to tell is the problem, because you feel something was unfair (which you might also feel when it actually is fair), but you feel it more often and it leads to poor experiences and people quitting the game.

Cheaters quit after a while because the game loses its challenge, and people being cheated leave because the game.feela unfair, and eventually there's not much of a community left.
Wikipedia seems to suggest the Greek side is already within Vikos–Aoös National Park. I'm not sure if that covers the whole Greek course of the river.
To a first approximation there is no market for paid consumer email. Google, Microsoft, Apple, None of them offer it.

They may offer expanded storage, but that's shared with other products and a different motivation. They may offer paid email as well, but that's always got a business focus, at least for SMEs.

Yes, companies like Fastmail, Hey, and many small email providers will offer paid personal email accounts, but even these put an emphasis on business use, and they are many orders of magnitude smaller than the big email providers.

Gmail will remain free as long as email is expected to be free by users. Gmail is the ad-supported free product, and Google Workspace is the no-advertising, business focused version that you can pay for.

(Disclaimer, I'm a Googler but have no inside information on this, these are my opinions)
This is true. You see this happen all the time with frameworks where the community splinters because of a major change. It doesn't happen as often with languages (perhaps because the average developer feels more removed from the development of those?), but as you pointed out, it does occur.

I think one of the differences here is how active the PHP community is. The Core devs are constantly taking ideas from the community and working those into or out of their plans for the future. They have open periods of discussion for any RFC and will engage with questions and concerns on Twitter and GitHub and Reddit and various other places. Those RFCs are voted on by 30+ different team members and requires a super majority to pass. Everything is transparent. Everything is discussed.

It's not perfect by any means (and the PHP-FIG standards group operated similarly and still splintered due in large part to egos), but it's not as one-sided as other languages and if you engage yourself in the community, you'll generally know what is coming and at least be able to voice your opinion in a forum that will be listened to.
> It's deeply disingenuous to suggest that the work reform principles of the subreddit are moot because a mod started the original subreddit as a protest against work.

Huh, you are absolutely right, my MT7961 is M.2 too. I too have swapped my SSD but I guess I didn't look at the WiFi chip at the time because I "knew" it was soldered.

I was originally looking to buy one of the X13 Gen 2 Intel models that have it soldered, I must've thought it applied to AMD as well.

I guess I'll try out Intel AX210 then, to see which one actually works better for me.
I'm surprised Rumble has $100M cash after one funding round and one acquisition.

What is the SNR they are getting ? Can't seem to find this info in the paper.
I am also working on a low-field MRi prototype, but at a much lower field (1mT) and using SQUID-based detection. This approach, in theory, allows to have much better T1 contrast, which is an issue raised in this paper. Also, at these levels of field you can use a low-consumption resistive magnet which permits much better field homogeneity.
Anyway the results this team is getting are very impressive and gives me hope that portable MRI is not science fiction. Would love to see some clinical diagnosis data with a bigger sample and more doctors. Will definitely try out their EMI cancellation algorithm on my experiment !
I'm pretty much awful at maintaining my inbox. I don't know how people do it. There's just so much junk and I get like 1 important email for every 5000 unimportant ones.

We unbricked a Lenovo T570 once by flashing a working BIOS into the EEPROM chip. It was a rather nervewracking experience. I wrote down the steps in this Arch wiki article: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Lenovo_ThinkPad_T570
"For an encore: Sex tips by rapists, explosive manufacture by suicide bombers, vegetarian cooking by A. Hitler, marketing tips from J. Goebbels and how to run a start-up by Elizabeth Holmes."

I understand that you wrote it in jest, but isn't Goebbels studied precisely due to the nature of marketing ( propaganda ) he employed? I personally find it interesting. Why does association work so well? Why does it automatically follow that if Hitler wrote an absolutely spectacular vegan recipe that basically cures cancer, it is automatically off limits to everyone?

Before you answer, note that Americans brought some actual Nazi scientists after WW2(operation paperclip). Should US have done without?

It’s the max salary rate for a given level according to company policies. Once you hit this, no matter how well you do they’ll try to tell you you can’t get a raise unless you get a promotion. Of course, this matters little since they will be shoveling RSUs at you if they want to keep you.
They aren't killing Workspace, they're just making users upgrade to a paid plan. It's the same product.
This is part of the reason I come to HN. A detailed post on a problem (and sometime solution) I am unaware of.

A newbie question. I understand how a pair tickets to say the superbowl would be more valuable than a single ticket, people want to go with their friend. Is there a practical example for equities? I will buy 100 shares $FB at $250 only if I can also get 50 shares of $SNAP at $35 at the sametime? If I can't get that combo, I will only pay $240 for $FB?

Is this aimed at equities that have less liquidity?
With noting that the GC in Nim (not "stop the world" BTW) is attached to the type. Unless you declare a type as `ref`, you're using stack allocation.

Even if you do use the GC, the compiler elides GC work if the type doesn't escape the scope.

I remember when usenet was awesome. I remember asking Raymond Chen questions about programming Windows and he would engage in conversation. I remember reading posts from C++ guys like Pete Becker and others who were incredibly knowledgable. I can't remember names, but people from Bell Labs would post and I learned so much from reading their discussions. But that is gone and dead. As a replacement, I have read HN for years and use this account occasionally to post, but lately have become quite disappointed. It isn't about snarky or mean comments, it is the shear number of comments that are just juvenile. This question could have some interesting perspectives and conversation, but is written in such a poor and, for lack of better work, stupid manner that is just lowers the standard of this site. I know nobody cares if I am here or not, but I just want to point out that I have been fortunate to be part of a large number of intellectual communities over the years and if HN wants to be considered one, they need to do some work because they are headed in the wrong direction.
I had know idea it was finally starting to appear on the scene - with even some WiFi adapters pushing past 1Gb, it's about time!

Still, as much as I'd like it myself, I can't imagine there is any push at all from consumers, and very little from prosumers. I guess it's a bit of a chicken and egg thing.
> How is "product of their time" in any way softening it? If your life is short and brutal, odds are you will have niceness kicked out of you early on.

I don't know enough Roman history to really say if "product of their time" works that way. But I do know enough about US history and figures where "product of their time" is meant solely to excuse horrendous behaviors.

That was more my point. You do have to be careful applying today's morality against yesterday's figures. However, you also have to be careful that you aren't using "it was a brutal time" as an excuse for yesterday's atrocities.

Was everyone calling for decimation or was this a tactic meant to shock the enemies? Did everyone agree with it or were there critics?

We know of the extremes of roman culture, but was that because historians needed to paint them as the extreme?
I am not casting aspersions on the specific OP, but often these "why I left" stories are missing key information, like the writer got a bad review, or was on plan, or had a monster boss, or was actually fired, etc.

People don't want to hurt their employment prospects, so it's understandable if they are selective about what they reveal, but that's why I don't trust accounts like this.
It's too complex to rehash here in a comment - there are people like Andrew Yang who "have done the MATH" and it works out; you tie UBI to inflation also, so people only with UBI don't get priced out of the market, at the same time people can move to towns where things like housing inflation isn't running wild, etc.

Yang also has said you make up most of the difference with a Value Added Tax (consumption tax) - and you can say make Facebook ads have an 80% tax, and diapers - necessities having 0% tax, that way poorer people aren't impacted by the tax; if everyone's receiving $12,000 / year in UBI then you can design it so only people spending more than $200,000 per year are actually paying back into the system - otherwise the taxes you pay is just putting that $12k UBI back into the system. What Yang points out is with the UBI tied to inflation + VAT you can have many levers to pull on if you need to to increase/decrease tax.

Another chunk of covering that UBI comes from cash and cash-like social assistance programs that people will have to decide for themselves if the $1,000/month is better for them or if their current social assistance programs (for cash and cash-like things) is better for them; and no, it's not a Trojan Horse, Yang doesn't want to cut social assistance programs - but if people choose the cash because that's better for their specific circumstances (and they get to decide that, not a bureaucratic government) then that program's spending is going down - the cost of what's provided goes down (turned into the UBI) but then also the management/bureaucracy cost of managing different programs will go down as well depending on how many people chose the UBI over the cash/cash-like options.

And then there's even more that ties into this that reduces costs; stress going down, crime going down, emergency services costs (fire/ambulance/police) go down, etc.
Depending on your needs, some of the cheaper alternatives focused on privacy and located in Europe are:

* Posteo.de (no custom domain support)

* Mailbox.org

* Runbox.com

* Mailfence.com

If a service located in the U.S. is not a concern, then mxroute has great options for multiple domains and multiple mailboxes.

Services like Fastmail and Hey become quite expensive if you need more than a couple of mailboxes (not aliases). ProtonMail and Tutanota, though privacy focused, can also get expensive for multiple mailboxes. While ProtonMail has some support for IMAP on paid plans, Tutanota does not support it.
Their recruiting process is very onerous too. Very hard to get people who are well paid to even interview when they know it’s so much work, only to get a pay cut.
