> List of life-like cellular automata

Should be "Life-like", as the article spells it, as in, variants of Conway's Game of Life, not (literally) life-like.

And not even "Life-like" in the way you might think - the term apparently has a narrow technical meaning, only including CAs with the same setup as Life but with different rules for how many neighbours cause a cell to turn/stay off/on, and not any of the many other fascinating Life variants - like Larger Than Life, with a huge neighbourhood, or SmoothLife, with Life's discrete time, space and life/death rule boundary all turned (near-)continuous.
You got the wrong conclusion from your argument. IPv6 is older than some of HN's audience.
The atomic clock on their card performs much worse than the built-in GPS receiver. In normal operation, it serves no real purpose. I guess some bored engineers wanted to have something fun to play with.
I wish the moderators would ban this incredibly annoying comic, which gets posted any time anybody posts anything that might improve any situation, even if it's not standardization-related.
Same motivation as social exercise generally. It can make a mundane task more fun.
also, I'd love to know more about how/when people apply this:

> “The thing I have noticed is when the anecdotes and the data disagree, the anecdotes are usually right. There’s something wrong with the way you are measuring it” -Jeff Bezos

Because I don't actually think it's crazy, I think data is often mismeasured and that when they go against against common perceptions that's sometimes a sign that the data is wrong. But obviously anecdotes are also often wrong/misleading/unrepresentative!

p.s. actually I wonder if this is like the "herniated discs cause back pain" thing -- everyone has herniated discs, but we only found that out for people who have back pain. Maybe ~all data is mismeasured, but we only find out when the data clashes with anecdotes, and therefore investigate it....
The main point of my argument, and the main concern I feel with GPL-style licenses, is the notion of "do I have to distribute my work under the terms of the GPL even if I don't distribute any GPL code directly; in other words, when is my program a derived work of a GPL work?". If instead I am distributing GPL code directly, the question is more clear - as you say, copyright law makes few exceptions there.

But again, if my program doesn't directly include any code at all from a GPL work, but it does depend on such code to exist on the end-user system, knowing in what circumstances my code is a derived work and thus can only be distributed under the terms of the GPL is much harder.

This is exactly the case of the kernel modules: the people distributing the kernel modules are often NOT distributing Linux itself. But, can their modules be considered derived works of the Linux kernel?

Note that this kind of question can also arise in traditional copyright. I can make a play that very much resembles a novel, and depending on many ultimately subjective factors my play may or may not be considered a derived work of that novel. If I am directly including substantial parts of the novel, then the answer is pretty clear, but a work that doesn't have a single word of the original can still be a derived work (most obviously, a translation is a derived work, but it likely literally doesn't include a single word in common with the original work).
> This was clear a decade ago, did we go backwards?

Maybe to you. But you are not the only person in the world. And as the other comment said, spam still gets exposure to other comment readers.

Actually I, like many other russian people, have a lot to say about it, but we cannot. You know, like in the holywood film matrix, where the clerk tries to speak out, but finds out he cannot open his mouth.
And while OTR always caused more problems and frustrations than it solved, OMEMO just works for me — even in a multi-sevice setup. After OMEMO became available in the XMPP clients that I use, I never looked back to OTR.

I like the systemic thinking done here. This is much too rare in all kinds of policy decisions and certainly good advice for programmers, who should probably also think more about how in a distant future their software could potentially become a menacing legacy zombie that haunts precisely those people who care — and how to make it easy for them to deal with this.
What’s the most precise clock I can buy, as an overpaid computer programmer?

I suppose anything that shows a human time representation is out of the question. It wouldn’t be able to incorporate legal changes to time such as let’s insert a leap second! or days are now divided into 32 hourlets!.

I would settle for an output that shows elapsed seconds from an agreed upon datum. I guess having a human readable time would be fine but the science part is more interesting.

With a clock of such precision, how could I synchronise it? Or rather: is there something better than NTP that Serious Clock Owners(tm) use?

Perhaps what I want is a clock with reasonable-ish accuracy but incredible longevity. Having a long running independent mechanical source
of time is appealing, and kind of orthogonal to having an ultra accurate but electrical one.
Linus Tech Tips built and installed a custom ZFSonLinux server, which I'd also not suggest OP does.

The difficulty in managing a NAS is completely different if you buy two off-the-shelf Synology boxes and log in and point-and-click turn on snapshot sync between the two and create an Amazon Glacier backup task.

It's easy to point out that it's not trivial to make async stuff with web technologies.

To be completely honest, when you look at the big picture, HTML was designed to be a static document format.

I really wish some new format or standard would be built from the ground up. HTML JS was never a good format, it just got popular to fight microsoft.
When domain events are the "trigger", RESTful events can exist without an explicit "trigger" type of event. If you look at the payload, they are different, but sometimes one is used for the same purpose as the other, internally.

This is exactly the kind of things for which the government is necessary. We won't have IPv6 unless it is legally mandated that any service which is available over IPv4 is also available over IPv6 and that all customers be given IPv6 addresses.

Slap a physical loadbalancer in front of them of your services or whatever, but we either get the government to do it, get the telcos to end IPv4 support or give up.
This is really underrated, it helps alot.

Obviously 'forced' here means 'take the job or lose your unemployment benefits, not 'take the job or be arrested/die/...'. Nothing like slavery.
This sentiment is so predictable and boring. Also the article literally says the motivation was knee pain meant he couldn’t run more than a few minutes. Maybe people aren’t the cartoons you have in your head.
Use the 321 rule. 3 backups, 2 different media, 1 of them off site.

You should keep your external drive backups. “Cloud” gives you the off site, but by itself from the point of a user it is just 1 media and 1 backup. Even if they likely have a lot more internally.
just to avoid misunderstandings: the force which prevents me from speaking has nothing to do with the Russian government..
> The other, maybe more familiar idea to lawyers, and maybe more plausible to you, is the one in MAI v. Peak, that running is copying by definition.

That is a bit over-simplified. The important part in MAI v. Peak was that Peak was a third party to the license between MAI and their client. The court recognized that MAI's client had the right to load/copy the program that they had acquired from MAI into memory without any additional license from MAI - there was already an explicit exemption in copyright law for this. However, they decided that this right can't be extended to a 3rd party (Peak, who as acting as a support technician), even if on the same machines.
No, I'm from another country. From my point of view it's more like stop wasting money for other useless purposes so we can grow. If we've been able to survive, no doubt the USA can thrive.

Portable by definition means it cannot capture every specific detail of every architecture out there.
For what it's worth, I first heard the term many years ago used to refer to either a one night stand ("picked up a rando") or a previously unfamiliar housemate ("rented a place with a rando from Craigslist"). It certainly is dismissive in the sense that it communicates "this person was of no special importance to me", but sometimes that's an appropriate thing to communicate.
I'm curious as well. Reddit me at napoleongoldfinger if that's cool?
Man, at 11 my programs mainly consisted of INPUT, PRINT and GOTO, which I wrote on my uncle's brand new IBM XT.
There’s nothing wrong with NTP and anything beyond the accuracy of a normal Casio watch is a fools errand in my mind: unless you get a watch that actually NTP syncs itself (like a smart watch), but the battle for an “on-wrist” super accurate watch was won by the digital wrist watch decades ago, there are no serious mechanical competitors.
If I understand your forth type correctly, it's like snapshotting in an event-sourced system. For me those are only internal and not meant to be communicated, rather they are there to speed up reconstitution of an event-sourced aggregate. I might be misunderstanding your point tho.

With regard to your first point, in terms of communication, they serve very similar integration patterns. I imagine you've standardised the consumption of these events, making it transparent if the event is linked or attached. Is that correct? In such cases, there's one difference, which is the out of sync state; the situation where the state has been altered after the signal was dispatched but before it was consumed. Is that something you deal with?

I was beginning to have back pain this summer after working very long hours sitting and with a lot of stress, and I thought my general weakness and lack of exercise was to blame.

I started an 8-week push-up challenge in which I found my max amount of push-ups without stopping (30) and then did 4 times that many (120) in a row, however long it took, gradually reducing the rest time between the sets. I did this 4 days per week. After that process I gained a lot of strength in 8 weeks and ability to do 40 push-ups without stopping. I've now switched to doing my maximum once or twice per day and increasing by 5 every couple weeks. I'm currently at 70, having a hard time going higher, but really feel incredible level of upper body strength from neck to back to abdomen, and am being more careful with my food choices as well. I think I'm now ready to do some more varied exercises, including cardiovascular and other things that challenged me earlier.

I find as I'm getting older it's really not worth sacrificing your body for engineering gains, I have too many tech friends who have chronic and sometimes debilitating pain and injuries as a result of the career. What's the point of great accomplishments in technology, career, and wealth if you can't enjoy them because of a broken body?

I encourage everyone to find an exercise routine that fits your lifestyle. Push-ups were great for me because I needed no equipment and could fit it easily into my work from home day, and target the areas of my body that were feeling weak.

I found your question interesting and found this article: https://www.jstor.org/stable/27739679

> The advent of automobile use in the early 20th century brought about a measurable rise in total numbers of highway deaths and injuries. However, the automobile's toll on human life and limb was probably not extravagantly greater than the toll exacted by the combination of steam- and horse-driven travel methods it displaced

From skimming the article, it seems like motor vehicle fatalities in NYC in the 1990s were similar to total traffic fatalities in the early 1900s, even though the population almost doubled.

I'm assuming motor vehicle fatalities includes pedestrians hit by motor vehicles. There could still be additional deaths today from things like streetcars, horses, or ox carts, but I feel like those would be low.

I feel like this is also the reason I use HN. Admittedly, though, sometimes I feel like it exacerbates my decision paralysis. Whenever I worry about whether or not I'm doing the "best" thing, I'll hit HN. Usually it just results in wasted time, but that one occasional boost just keeps me coming. Intermittent reinforcement at its finest.
Usually the typical answer when facts aren't appealing, the other way around apparently being pedantic matters.
This is a great article covering the basic "tricks", that might work in many cases. Babies are still always individual having some things that only work for them (like a hairdryer calms them down) and some general tricks, that don't. Even in the same family their brothers and sisters might behave totally different.

I enjoyed reading Dr. Spock's Baby and Child Care, 10th [1], which goes a lot more into detail about these basics and health, while still mentioning, that only some things might work and that there is not a silver bullet.

In my expierience, it was a lot like in this article. What also often worked out, if nothing else does: Getting into the car and driving around the block leads to sleeping.

I think the most important part at that age is being there for your child. A trick that worked for us and might sound strange: Breastfeeding till the age of 2 or 3 seems to be the best that can happen to the immune system and giving your child to nursery before reaching 2 1/2 seems to be not a good idea. Our daugther has no allergies and intolerances. As well the obvious stuff also worked, like healthy food (vegetables, no sugar), being outside and moving as much as possible and letting her go sometimes, but that comes later on.

I used to have horrible neck and shoulder pain, mine was also due to bad posture. The issue was that I was using a knee-chair, thinking that it would be better than a regular chair. It was at first. However, eventually I go into the habit of kicking a foot up on one of the knee-wrungs, my posture didn’t improve and I’d unconsciously compensate some other way. Naturally, the neck and shoulder pain got worse.

Now I use a couple of standing desks ([0] and [1]) and a couple of those “standing/perch chairs” for lack of a better description ([2] and [3]). Simply standing without the perch chairs worked too, but I found I was more productive and less likely to walk away from the desk if I could occasionally lean back.

I also stopped using a mouse and went with a trackpad, alone with a split keyboard (ergodox classic). In my case the mouse and keyboard change had a much more noticeable, positive, effect than I would have thought.

I agree with others here in their recommendation to talk to an ergonomic expert if you can. I didn’t and consequently it took longer to figure out what worked. Since you’re working at your desk for potentially hours at a time, don’t be afraid to invest in a decent set up. It’s worth it.

As an aside, I picked up a leanchair [4] since it seemed like a good idea. I liked it at first, and you might consider it. However, I got in the habit (again) of kicking a foot against the leg/foot rest piece which seemed to shift my hips a little and absolutely beat up my lower back. I got rid of it as soon as I made the connection.

The Solitaire Mystery by Jostein Gaarder
As I sit here watching my 2 year old try and figure out what the hell a helium balloon is and why does it float when everything else falls, it is quite fun and enjoyable. They surprise you and they give a lot of affection and love back.

It is true that you will miss out on "me time" for several years, but that changes eventually. It is not hard work, just relentless at times.

For me, I don't think I would ever have been "ready" until it would be too late. The longer you leave things, the less time you have to sort it out. People assume that fertility issues only happen to other people, but there is a surprisingly high number - something like 25% of couples face issues conceiving one way or another. If you don't even start until late 30s or early 40s, you are at the tail-end of fertility (especially for females as there is a finite number of eggs). Sure there is IVF etc but it is not an emotionally simple process.
I gave up caffeine in September, 2021. I was drinking typically two cups a day of filter coffee — sometimes more. Withdrawal lasted two weeks. Some of the worst headaches of my life that later transitioned into overall body pains, but that passed eventually. There was a psychological component to withdrawal, but it was nowhere as bad as when I gave up cigarettes a long time ago.

In my steady state today, I notice these differences being off caffeine:

1. easier time staying asleep and general better rested

2. easier to fall asleep

3. outside of age and health, I feel in someways body-wise as I did in my teens with less variability between high days and low days in terms of feeling of wellbeing

4. less trash and mess in the kitchen to clean up

5. less staining of the teeth (FWIW, my dentist said to me a month ago, "I don't tell this to patients very often, but you don't need to do anything differently in how you're caring for your teeth. Your teeth are the best they can be for your age.")

6. less likely to just load up on caffeine to push through some drudgerous project as an all-day thing

7. in the TMI space, but there's never a sense of bowel urgency

What's not different:

1. work performance (so far as I can tell)

- potential to push policy execution pushdown to the db, such as for authing bulk oriented queries vs record level

- potential for use with RLS

- potential for analysis tools

In practice it seems boring, but in principle, interesting. I'd love to see actual staged compilation generation & integration (so no runtime service/runtime) and, for analysis, conversion to z3/SMT. We went for Casbin bc of the former, and seems a simpler leap for the latter.

Why do we need atomic clocks in everyday devices?

Most everyday devices use quartz resonators, which, with some temperature stabilization, will gain or loose around 25 seconds a year [1]. As others have mentioned the clocks can be synced to other time sources (easily multiple times a day) such that this drift is always far less than a second. This is good enough for most everyday purposes.

You mention in another reply that some companies are installing atomic clocks on servers. As I understand it this is mainly to deal with synchronization across distributed databases. Since most everyday devices aren't actually maintaining these databases they probably make due fine with quartz resonators.
