It took almost a decade for flash to even work in a 64bit userland for Linux.

I recall the sole dev at the time, complaining that he codebase was a spaghetti mess of undocumented garbage.

So I think Jobs was right here. Anyhow, Adobe is famous for dead end, junky stuff. Their early days were golden, but they rested on old IP, milking it.

EG, flash, cold fusion, their licensing garbage.

These days they do all sorts of weird stuff, and due to their name even banks are silly enough to trust their fraud detection business.

You can still buy DC service in California. I think Boston discontinued it in the 80s.

In California, though there are DC tariffs approved by the PUC, they actually give you some kind of big rectifier. I believe it’s only used to drive DC motors in elevators.

Yeah, job adverts (and resumes) with "C/C++" usually seem like they are reading off MS VisualStudio marketing and imo a clown indicator. I've seen this with jobs which were really C# or Java (or maybe even VB). Top C++ programmers are highly compensated and only unemployed when they want to be.

In terms of socio-politics we are witnessing the evolution/proliferation of ideas. You can think of ideas sort of like viruses in the way they spread, especially ideology. I don't think it's people being isolated, I think honestly that post covid and the current inflation and the last few years honestly young people especially are looking for ~something~ else, so we're witnessing what ideas people latch on to. There was a really good article recently posted about ideology and how it can harm people it was a really sobering read. That being said I think it's easy to realize that our current system ~whatever we think that is~ has led to widespread income inequality only exacerbated by automation, offshoring, and the availability of higher paying jobs. As far as some marxist feeling a 'sense of persecution' the red scare was all to real, the US Gov's position has been historically repressive of those people including exterminating people in Vietnam and through proxy wars, and even deadly operations on US soil. I don't know anything about jwz or the history of this site though.

Economics of Information Overload: Thoughts from Herb Simon (2015)
It's not single speed, it has an internal hub gear.
What most of us consider progress is based on how we manage to spread efficiently as a species, gathering more power and possessions, developing ways to push our inevitable death further away, no matter the cost. Exploit more ressources, other humans, other animals.

And while some of us aren't driven by these things, some always will, and will essentially always capitalize on it. They can take the form of corporations, religious groups, governments... They really are any organised groups. And to make things worse, power is addictive.

It doesn't seem to matter how smart we are, if we zoom out, we're as good as a self destructing virus eating up on its ressources as if it had an infinite supply of it. Following a path driven by greed. Making us a virus that's only smarter at how it gets to the outcome, not at changing the outcome itself.
> This is made more frustrating by the fact that something about newer standalone flash players causes one of the levels to be near unplayable.

It might be something else. I replayed Nitrome's Mutiny a while back, and though BlueMaxima's Flashpoint could get me around the site lock, whenever an enemy used the anchor weapon, the game would lock up for about half a minute, with the anchor at the top of the screen but still waiting to fall. This never happened back in the day.

I bring this up because Flashpoint comes with a few dozen different versions of Flash, and none of them fixed the bug. So it's probably not the Flash player version. Maybe it's something in the OS, I dunno.

Ask HN: How would you make an automated telephone hotline?
I've been kicking around some ideas for an app that would work by having the user dial in over the phone. I don't really intend to go through with it but I keep thinking about how such a thing would work in practice.

Like how does the I/O work there where a computer is able to receive/send audio from a phone line?

How would such a computer answer the phone in a way that doesn't ever result in a busy signal if many people call this hotline?
They have though. The NYT article points out that stops and arrests are WAY down, and we’ve done away with cash bail for a lot of offenses. Those are. If material differences, real progress.

“For eight years there have been attempts to destroy what exists in the Donbass. And in the Donbass there is rejection, a fundamental rejection of the so-called values that are offered today by those who claim world power. Today there is such a test for the loyalty of this government, a kind of pass to that “happy” world, the world of excess consumption, the world of visible “freedom”. Do you know what this test is? The test is very simple and at the same time terrible – this is a gay parade. The demands on many to hold a gay parade are a test of loyalty to that very powerful world; and we know that if people or countries reject these demands, then they do not enter into that world, they become strangers to it.”

tldr: The gays did it.

I wonder if growing up with it changes things? I've been more or less addicted to the screen since I was in elementary school. It started with web forums, then other social media. I was concerned about it then and now. I distinctly remember abstaining from screens for a week when I was 11 to see what it was like.

In many ways social media is a reality these days. It's the main way you interact with your peers, form romantic relationships and so on.
> I mean if it wasn't for Russia having and threatening with nukes…

This is the part that I’m gobsmacked by. Simply by uttering the phrase “this is an existential threat to the nation” gives Putin a legalistic means to change nuclear first strike terms to any conventional war response. The “eastward expansion” narrative doesn’t hold up to any scrutiny. He’s displayed no compunction killing political rivals up to now, so why the sudden squeamishness killing far-right Ukrainian leaders (who, let’s face it, are indeed bona fide Nazi-admiring fascists)? That’s certainly far cheaper in political capital and easier than an invasion.
In Copenhagen the ATMs used to have "anti gas attack" stickers on them. No idea what they did, or protected against.

A friend of a friend got roofied at bar. In the morning, she found she'd withdrawn a large amount of cash from an ATM. (Could have been much, much worse.)

To add insult to injury, the bank produced a video of her drugged out and "voluntarily" entering her pin with a shadowy figure in a black hoodie behind her. The bank claimed this was proof the transaction was voluntary and non-fraudulent, and refused to cover the withdraw.

This was somewhere in Europe. I'm 99% sure the transaction would be refunded in the US, though I've never heard of such muggings here.
I looked into making a recipe site for my girlfriend from scratch a few years ago (I'm well aware I could've used an off-the-shelf Wordpress plugin or similar, but I wanted to learn) and I was surprised to find that there's no real consensus on recipe formats. I dream of a universal format that would allow you to take any recipe and convert between unit systems, and change the portion sizes at will. I suspect one of the reasons for the lack of adoption of such a standard is that copyright law (at least in Australia), makes this impractical. Cooklang looks interesting, but it has the same problem as a physical lined cookbook - I have to rewrite the recipes myself instead of being able to simply copy and convert.
I'm no proponent of broken window fallacies, but I think having an environment where petty theft is harder to pull off has second order/third order effects.

This is all true, but to get that data you had to run an app on Facebook. To my recollection, you could not grab this level of data with a Facebook JavaScript tag on 3rd party websites.

> You also won’t have to worry about your tires being stolen. That’s because they feature unique nuts that can only be undone with a special adaptor which comes with the bike.

So do you have to carry the special adaptor when you go riding, in case you get a flat and need to put on a new tube? Not a huge deal, but kind of annoying.

It probably isn’t weird to think about returning the kids…but it is certainly weird to do it. More than weird, it is disrespectful, cowardly, and inconsiderate.

When you decide to have kids by adoption or by natural birth—they should never be abandoned.

No matter what they do—you are with them for those ~18 years and hopefully many more.

Unlike a spouse—kids are dependents. And your commitment is to make sure they have someone they can depend on.

I live in Darwin.

when I moved here last century, NSA were already well established, there were bi-annual R&R USA ship visits, and annual joint airforce training.

The USA started to develop a USMC base in 2012

At the time we were instructed that they co-locate and personnel rotate, so you can't call it a base. not a base. definitely not a base.

They began permanently locating USAF assets at our airport a coupla years later.

They are investing $$big in USAF facilities a few hundred km south

AUKUS announcements have included: new bases for five branches of the USA military, including a second USMC MAGTF.

- and with that big step they've given up gaslighting locals with insistence that these are not foreign war bases.

Suddenly the growth of usa war bases switches from being fake news ('notabase') to not news ('they've been building over ten years').
> physical vs psychological dependence is kind of outdated

I wouldn't say outdated, but I do agree it is 100% up for debate.

Right, I think you're agreeing with me. That they have similar aspects, but to treat them the same - like putting caffine on Class 1 - would be insane.

> Flash is terrible in retrospect, but I used to love making Flash games in high school by myself. Amazing experience.

Flash isn't terrible. Flash as a browser plugin was terrible and insecure indeed. Flash was no more terrible than Java or .net on the desktop as a multimedia app platform. In fact it made it easy not only to create interactive "experiences", games, but also artist authoring tools. Alchemy allowed to incorporate C/++ code into Flash, and Flash also had its own shader editor for effects. Adobe threw the baby with the bath water.
No they don't. This is oft repeated, and not true.

They reject vaccination for the same reasons as other anti-vaxxers, there's no religious component, just a human one.
If you don't want your kids are you saying it's better off to keep them? Isn't adopting them out a way to make sure they have someone they can depend on?

Seems to me it's more "disrespectful/weird/cowardly/inconsiderate" to make some kid suffer for years living in a home where they're unwanted.

The point is that there are many different universal function approximators, so just that adds no value to explaining why NNs are good. This type of theory is meaningful (because it's harder to have taken anything as complex as multi-layer perceptron seriously without it back in the 80s), but it's not a fact that's going to help us make any progress nowadays. Mentioning it over and over again just distracts us from the real problems we need to address.
