I remember it as well -- found it astonishing that it took up half the CPU just idling. Star Office was just a truly awful product. Literally the only interesting thing about it was that it was free.
I've seen plenty of videos where people just dubbed the music over it, but yeah, bonus points if you can get it running on whatever beeper you got. The best arrangement I've heard was for the Sound Blaster's OPL3 chip (though a little bit that's cheating since you get 18-note poly and stereo which is enough to create a decent soundscape): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lEPH6Y3Luo
How the CIA Destroyed the Socialist Internet: Cybersyn
Wow, its crazy how much good content (be that youtube videos, channels or books) is created lately in game history category. It's about time, because this can be the last moment to preserve it (the original creators aren't getting younger).
I love it.
Consistent to someone's whims and not consistent in a defined standard (e.g. first letter of each dash separated word, etc) isn't consistent in my opinion
I wouldn't go so far as to say unscientific, because as you say we are only partially adapted to it (e.g. lactose intolerance), and grains are an extremely easy source of calories which is problematic in a context of the obesity crisis and problematic when it's only simple carbohydrates being consumed by poor people such as potatoes or white rice (vitamin deficiencies). I don't expect epistemically sound and measured statements from a community around a diet that's become a social media fad, anyways.

I understand we can slip into the naturalistic fallacy easily, but at the same time I appreciate the line of reasoning as a first approximation because of how complicated the human body and nutrition is, and how messed up our public health situation is thanks to the modern diet. Even though I acknowledge this situation is attributable to processed foods and sugars, and not to whole grain consumption which I think is fine/good for most people, it is still the delta between modernity and how our bodies evolved that is the culprit.

Let's put it this way. The Paleo community is probably totally wrong about whole grains, but right about a lot of things.

This is my case study about how to reduce the code complexity of the one-line text editor with categorical combinators which are explained in the Appendix.

Corner cases (~15) are handled by the composition of 5 reusable, independent building blocks.

As a bonus, cooperative-editing is supported by default.
The programming language certainly has something to do with it. If your programming language has things like garbage collection or dynamic dispatch, it's very hard to generate as fast code for the simple reason that your programming language is trying to do more things during runtime.

I don't know about the US but the next move in the UK is to deregulate lending criteria. Allowing more people to borrow 5-6x income with tiny deposits.

Ouch! That is a strong claim, even when expressed as a belief.

I am not sure it is a very sensible way to do that. Electronic paper trails everywhere.

I live in the EU, and I've switched countries within the EU. You don't need a permission to stay beyond 3 months, what are you talking about? Maybe a car does, but a human absolutely doesn't as a general rule ( e.g. in the Netherlands you need to register with the municipality after moving there, but that has nothing to do with the EU's right of movement).
I don't think I have a local option. I know one local PC repair shop that sells decade old prefabs for twice what they go for online. Maybe I could contact one of the few enterprise places, but I suspect I'd find a similar selection at a similar price or someone that would basically charge me more to buy off newegg.

Building your own PC is too niche to support businesses anywhere but major metropolitan areas. I'm stuck picking what I think is the less bad option.
We had this in the 80s and called it "introspection". The problem with
using the bogus term "AI" (other than that it isn't intelligent) is we
further conflate wildly disparate technologies capable of solving
problems based on prior input. Procedural systems I worked with were
called "Expert systems" and had amazing "blackboard walking"
capabilities, much like a stack trace.

"sel X because X is member of Y (p=0.784) -> X fails crit Z ->
search-new X -> fail: backtrack select Y" etc...

You could learn a lot about the problem space and discover new facts
and relationships by talking to the system about what it is doing and
why. That's actually huge fun!

The NIST report in TFA looks fanciful and some of the problems listed
are hard, even in procedural systems that have explicit state and
logic. For example, a system "knowing its limits". This seems in the
order of Russell and Whitehead, as it isn't even clear that humans
understand how to "know our limits". Indeed "AI" may be greatest
symptom of that.

What I see instead is "Assurance", and to me, assurance is generally
bulllshit. Introspection of neural systems is going to be fuzzy and
require further "AI" systems to interpret and humans to sugar coat.
We will still need expert witnesses to toil though the output in
courts.

However, the most sinister line in TFA was this:

"to help systems gain trust and acceptance in society"

Now we wish to build systems with the a-priori aim of insinuating
their trust and figuring out how to make themselves "acceptable"? We
are literally moving toward programmatic psychopathy.

Ironic. When it comes to "knowing limits" how is it we don't see that
there are some combinations of computing and human affairs that should
not be attampted.
Not necessarily true, this is only in the case of societies or empires shaped around piracy, tribute and plunder as a primary economic system.

Famously, the vikings & the mongols come to mind. But this is equally true for parties rallying around religion, whether it is islamic or christian colonisation.

The European colonisation started largely triggered by

1. Turkey (Ottoman empire) extracting large tributes from Europe to import goods from India.

2. The doctrine of christian discovery whereby a christian ("white") can claim territory or property "discovered" by him in the name of the church. So a lot of claim on land whether in Australia or America falls under this. Even inventions can be "rediscovered".

In the case of India, with the exception of Islamic or European colonisation, much of the royal wealth can be attributed to trade and Kings/Queens building infrastructure, cities and trade routes. Temples which also acted as banks financing large merchant navies that had established trade routes all over the Indian ocean territory.

In the case of China, even though extracting tributes was common and there very frequent genocidal conflicts between the kingdoms, trade was a major source of wealth as the silk-route shows.
As I read this I thought it was ripped off from William Dalrymple's history book The Anarchy, which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Delighted to discover it was in fact ripped off from one of his other books and that there's a series of 4 he wrote on the history of the general area/time period.
I'm not sure about the subscription model. Everything is a subscription these days and I think it's a bad thing because if you've already made the icons then just set a fixed price. Made new icons? create a new version and charge for it.
I recently set up my Apple Watch and discovered the Walkie-talkie function.

Basically, it allows me to send voice memo's to another person, where the Apple Watch on the receiving end will play the voice memo when the Walkie-talkie function is on.

But here is the thing: I don't want to be disturbed 24/7 by a voice coming from my wrist. When I am available for others, my iMessage or Signal app will inform me of any incoming messages just as well. And when I am not available, I don't want the extra hassle of switching my Walkie-talkie app off as well as setting my phone to "do not disturb"

Congrats, all these icons and illustrations look great! I have a question, what's the difference for example between "UI Icons Line - Free" and "UI Icons Line - Pro" when using them for free? I think I'm not understanding the license, I could download icons from both and put the attribution the same way, couldn't I?

The problem is the common user wants thing to just work.

I work at a major university. At our science department we tried using 'https://www.horde.org/apps/groupware' for calendar. But fails randomly, refresh issues. The computing centre claims they have everything fine. Groupware has so many bugs. The IT department cannot fix these.

Note that every self-hosted nerd will claim they do everything with nextcloud with RPi and all is perfect but it does not work for 100 people.

At the end we moved to Google calendar. Everything just works.

For us, contributing to science is important than being 100 % open.

Before you say iCloud it is much worse at losing mails/calendar sync - BTW, try it with > 20 users... Microsoft is kinda OK but works painfully when using linux or mac devices.

It is unfortunate people complain about FAANG without providing replacements.
Isn't a standalone PIO literally just a microcontroller?

You may have fun playing around with a Parallax Propeller MCU. Rather than have a bunch of peripherals, the Propeller has 8 CPU cores. The idea is that you implement whatever peripherals you want by dedicating cores to the purpose and bit-banging it. It's a similar idea to a PIO, but rather than having a main core and a bunch of tiny cores, you just have a bunch of equally capable cores.
I could not second this more. Tailwind is a member of a category of CSS frameworks which dramatically implement anti-pattern. Another example of this category is https://semantic-ui.com/.

The only way I see how to use these libraries while maintaining a clean seperation of content and style is to use some CSS generator (LESS, SASS) and setup custom classes inheriting styles from tailwind et al.
Similarly, never use it to redact a QR code.

My employer makes a tool that does this! It's a screenshot tool we had been using internally for years that we released last year. It takes a sample of the colors in the image and uses them for random-looking obfuscation. So it's obvious that the data is hidden, but there's no pattern or way to un-blur that data. It doesn't work as well on low-contrast images, but we find it quite useful for hiding sensitive data. Some examples:

decentralization and permissionless is all fine, but the web3 as envisioned by the blockchain crowd is not decentralized and hence permissionlessness is illusory...
Some ebay seller is fighting me right now saying they’ll block me if I demand a refund over them sending me a materially different condition item than what was pictured. I’m totally fine with never transacting again with them.

I’ve never had a good AirBNB experience. I’d never miss them if they went away.
A certain percentage of hacker news readers will appreciate this: if you subscribe to Spotify and have not yet listened to Joe Rogan, please do so-- just for 5-10 minutes. They're throwing a lot of money at him.. just check and see if it's the kind of thing you want more of your money associated with. For me it was a super easy decision, and I'm glad I listened to him for a bit, because otherwise I might have kept paying money to spotify.

Again, this won't apply to everyone.
1. Intel spectre/CVE?
2. Note that these old devices have no support from Wayland as intel does not provide drivers
3. These were introductory chromebooks and I am sure OEMs will be annoyed if they are unlimited updates. (or they may be have contracts)
4. Even if google kepps them away from Wayland, users will then expect same performance/features like the new ones - and blame Google.
Where did the "had no faith in" come from? I had order from them for 20 years. I had faith in them. I had only ever had to return something once before (years ago) and it was fine. This experience wasn't.

I'm reporting my experience and you are attacking the victim. Classy.
The fact that it runs at all is an amazing achievement. Kudos to the team that managed to shoehorn it in.

What is likely to be seen as a bug by others, is actually the thing that gives me hope. There's no way for a WebAssembly program to access the host file system. I hope it stays that way.

If the Wasm host can, in a foolproof and easy to verify way, offer the user dialog boxes to read/write single files... we'd have the "PowerBox" that is required to make a modern capability based operating system.

Preventing a process from deciding itself which files to access disables so many attack vectors.

Most games don't require merging of divergent state like in a CRDT: there's one, single, linear history of events mediated by the server. CRDTs are overkill for this use case, and something like optimistic concurrency control by the server is usually much easier to reason about and implement.
Most of them remains user controlled with relatively lax moderation involving somewhat large teams. I don’t doubt shilling must happen sometimes and moderators on the biggest sub might be bought but most of the time it still feel like genuine users talking to genuine users.
Fair enough, klystrons are more likely to be found in radars rather than microwave ovens.
It's better to donate to a public bank. According to the AAP the child itself is almost certainly not going to be able to benefit from their own stem cells because whatever disease you're trying to treat them for is most likely already present in the stem cells. It can be used to treat siblings though. But overall the advice is to donate to a public bank unless you already have a child with a medical condition in your family that could benefit from cord blood from their sibling.

I get what you mean, I don't like it either. I just prefer it to the guilt by association and the allegedly clean vest requirements classical PR has. That won't work in a fully connected world anymore and rules have to be revised and they constantly are.

The Malone interview ruffled some feathers and he might be wrong. I think it is a valuable opinion and hearing it provides a benefit. Of course he isn't perfect either. Maybe he has a bruised ego because others get the recognition of work he was involved in. Perhaps he wants to see his own miracle cure. I just think it is more interesting to listen to him than to any contemporary "fact checker" which ironically are often declared as opinion mouthpieces in any legal context if they have to defend what they are saying.

I believe this is plainly a power struggle of some outlets to stay relevant. Is Rogan better than good journalism? No, but there is an absence of good journalism today. Steward is great, I much prefer him to Rogan and believe he is on another level when it comes to question things. Many see him as woke and therefore don't listen to him. That is stupid as well, but neither Steward nor Rogan are always correct and that should not be the expectation.
Oh no, I'll get this fixed asap.

Why is that noteworthy with regards to the article or the question? Is it just so you can try to invalidate his point by using the phrase "anti-democratic political right wing"?

What are your opinions on the technical fundamentals of Polkadot?
In Europe you can return items bought for 14 days no question asked, if you buy them online, but not in physical shops. On the other hand i once had the issue of a broken item i bought online and the shop saying that for the warranty i had to deal with the manufacturer. So since then even if i get a broken item, i return it with no reason other than i don't need it and reorder it again fixed (hopefully)

But yeah i learned that shop always try to don't deal with stuff

Ask HN: Tools/research to identify semantic types of data in databases?
There is such an idea that data is not just integers/strings/floats and so on but has a semantic type attached that identifies its logic. For example, it could be postcode, country name, business registry number, and so on.

I know several open-source PII detection tools that could connect to SQL databases and detect personal data. And some commercial ETL/data prep tools could identify semantic types.

Is there any deep research on this topic and an advanced tool to work with semantic types?

I think this and the original post misunderstands what the borrow checker fundamentally is. The only way to "abstract the borrow checker" is to write another language on top of Rust.
Yeah, I was waiting for this comment. The OP you're responding to is way way WAY overexagerating the opinions of the body politic of reddit.

Reddit is so large that having a potent conservative force is an inevitability - and much as we don't want to admit, for all the nastyness that goes on there, it's still a space that forces conservatives to be relatively speaking on "good behavior" (imagine if gab/voat/parler successfully displaced reddit), and more recently also forces their ideology to be heavily moderated (as in, to become more moderate), and watered down.

Also LOL at criticism of the car community for being bad at recommending SUVs. Reddits car enthusiast community is made up of people whose favorite car by and large is the Miata. Is the Miata a good car for a soccer mom? No. Is the Miata the car of dudebro conservatives? Uh, HELL NO!

I hate to say it, but sorry Karen, Reddit is for your son, not you.

I agree, relying on subscriptions privately vs at work is a completely different story.

At work, I'll suggest a subscription as soon as it provides value.

Privately, I'm extremely picky and always try to get the best bang for the buck, especially for recurring subscription costs. I happily pay for:

- Spotify Duo: According to my yearly review, I'm in the top 3% listeners in my country. I basically listen to music all day when coding, exercising, doing chores,...

- Gym membership: 15€/month and I use it a lot. Friends of mine pay 60-100€ and use it less.

- Hosting: 1€ per year for my domain and 1€ per month for my email. I'm still on the free tier for NextCloud storage.

- Phone/Internet: I chose the cheapest plans I could find (14€ for Broadband, 5€ for unlimited calls + 1 GB data)/ month

I rarely pay for:

- Video Subscription like Netflix/Amazon Prime. If there's anything I really want to watch, I'll get a trial or subscribe for a month and then cancel. There is a lot great free (or: paid by my public-service broadcasting fees) stuff to watch on the web.

- Private SaaS stuff: Some tools like Obsidian sound intruiging, but so far I'm getting by well enough and prefer using OSS tools where I'd only send a donation once in a while instead of paying a recurrent fee.
And again, minimal die size reduction, lower yield. Has been like that for the past 10 years With no significant improvement in the foreseeable future.

It is time software take a new look at memory usage again. RAM isn't cheap nor free. Now even 8GB memory is shared with GPU. Considering we now have 4x or 5x or pixel count we actually have less memory to use compared to the same 8GB 10 years ago.
