While the previous assumption was that black holes are completely characterized by only three parameters - mass, electric charge, and angular momentum - which is called the no-hair theorem [1]. This is at odds with the time-reversibility of physical laws as there are many ways to make a black hole with a certain mass, electrical charge, and angular momentum but given such a black hole it is not possible to go backwards in time and reconstruct the formation process of the black hole as you have only three numbers and therefore not enough information to figure out when, where and what was thrown into the black hole.

By that measure an Audi R8 is affordable, after all it's literally just a Lamborghini Aventador in a much cheaper package, for the money it's an absolute bargain.

In terms of powerful soundtracks, Hans Zimmer's score of The Lion King is usually the first to come to mind.

As a kid, it was the first soundtrack that moved me to near tears. I was less interested in the vocal songs (to be fair, I still love them) and found myself drawn to the orchestrations.

When I got older I learned that Hans' father died when he was a kid and that he was able to bring a personal touch into the score, and it showed.

To answer your question, the most powerful soundtracks that I can think of paint a clear picture or emotion (or at least a few interpretations of them). For instance, the song "The Illusive Man" from the Mass Effect 2 soundtrack gives me feelings of power with a sinister undercurrent.

> The switch runs extremely general software. Drawing a parallel between it and a ti84 is extremely disingenuous.

I specifically mentioned the TI-84 because I have played Mario on mine, among many other things that it was not intended for. Respectfully, it belongs on the list.

But you still haven’t answered my question. Do these products not exist?

> The peloton is a BIKE

The Peloton is also a product, and a product that uses a general purpose OS (Android) and general purpose screen. It’s still built to do one thing.

It’s not just a bike - I have three of those, and none of them have a screen, and I can ride them outside.

The point here is that products are real things, have specific purposes, and often use general purpose tech to achieve a very specific outcome.

Is it cool to run Mario on my TI-84? Yes! But I wouldn’t be bent out of shape if I couldn’t.

+1 to forums and research. I found one where someone straight-up said the price dealers paid for the vehicle in my area. Some more research and it seemed to be true.

I went to one dealership and they wanted 10k over. So I walked out and right into another who seemed spooked I had that number and sold to me for x+$1. After we’d signed the documents and were prepping to leave the salesman came over and asked where I’d found that number.

Before every distro had their own package management system and repository.

Then 99% went with Flatpak, except one, Ubuntu with their own proprietary solution called snap.

> In the 90s the culturally most influential people tended to mock censors and championed being “politically incorrect”

There is a sizable industry still doing that exact same thing today. Instead of saying that they’re “politically incorrect” they say that they’ve been “cancelled”. It seems like this line of discussion is not only alive and well, it is quite lucrative too, which more than a tiny bit undermines the core premise of what being “cancelled” means.

> R rated movies were far more successful at the box office, with lots of questionable content by today’s standards.

As a sibling comment pointed out, this is factually incorrect. You also need to adjust for the fact that the internet exists, and various social and economic pressures are sending more R rated content directly to streaming.

Are there fewer R rated movies in theaters because of how sensitive we are, or are you just preferring to watch R rated content at home rather than in the theater?

> Pushing the boundaries of what was acceptable to say was considered cool.

Given the rise of the alt right and the dirtbag left, pushing boundaries is still very popular and lucrative.

If you're a dev who works alone, with no other devs, no product person, no QA, no support, and no users to collaborate with then you probably can just hack on your code for however long you want without bothering anyone.
This dichotomy - either it's proven or it's nothing - has been alluded to in several comments here, and shows up whenever similarly far-reaching hypotheses are raised on HN. The thing is, though, you need a hypothesis before you can get to a proof [1], and a hypothesis that is consistent with everything we think we know is a significant advance, especially when the absence of such a hypothesis has ben gnawing at the foundations of physics for several decades.

The history of science provides plenty of examples. Take the atomic theory for example, where Einstein's Brownian paper theory is generally regarded as the step that silenced the positivist opposition. Does that mean that none of the prior work by Boltzmann and in chemistry was newsworthy? On the contrary, it paved the way to Einstein's paper, and was an essential part of the history.

[1] Not that scientific theories are ever formally proven, of course, but that line of argument would be a diversion here.
Nothing. This has nothing to do with PVR mobile chips, but is the drivers for the original desktop cards from the 90s.
Interesting project, especially using the blockchain as a distributed package store. But automatically distributing payment according to the dependency chain worries me - it seems prone to abuse, and may deform code. E.g. one could split a project into needlessly many smaller projects, to capture more of the per-dependency disbursed payment. On the other hand, it encourages reinventing the wheel, minimizing your own projects' dependencies, to prevent sharing your payment with them.

While funding for open source is badly needed, we must be very cautious of how it changes motivations.

Remote working happens, and its adoption increased during the pandemic.

Some lifestyles may not need change to live in such places, for some some room for improvement may exist, and for others you will get some damage anyway.

And, of course, you should take into account country, city, culture and so on to see if that fits for you and there.

You can use the extra money inside too, like, I don't know, pictures or screens showing nature, fish bowls, furniture and so on, if you have to stay there for too much time anyway. But maybe it may be a better investment to use what you save to go to somewhere else better by some definition, if you can't change too much how depressing it is for you.
There's no incompatible changes that AWS does that could lock you in. They're just changing the vendor strings, and for older builds back-porting fixes that are important to them.

The only major difference is Corretto enables an alternative GC, Shenandoah, which was originally implemented by RedHat. This has been mainlined for a long time now, but Oracle does not ship it. It is available in the Azul and RedHat builds as well.
Fedora has official docs (https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/docs/), and in practice I've never had a need for the commercial RHEL support. Honestly, I've been using Fedora for 3 years now and can't even remember the last time I had to dig into the docs to troubleshoot something.
> ...and it feels like I finally can talk to people who are just like me and write posts and post comments like THIS without being threatened.

Being threatened is never ok but dissent and different opinions are good and should be encouraged. And just to show you my point this thread comes off as a naive kid excited he's found like minded people who won't change his world view. I don't think we should be celebrating that.

HN is an advertisement product for a venture capitalist fund. None of this is being run for the benefit of humanity, or to provide a safe space for us techies to opine. It's to make a buck, which is fine ... but let's not kid ourselves about it's intent.

And I enjoy it too obviously or I wouldn't be here, but at this point i enjoy it because I get to show that not all techies share the same mind.

Also, if you feel warm and welcome, ignore me. That's the beauty of the internet, you get to pick and choose what you consume. Just don't only pick the things you agree with or that make you feel safe, that road leads to trouble.

I'm using a PC with a 5800X and an AMD 6600 XT graphics chip, has like 6 SSDs and 2 HDDs in it.

I also have a meter which measures its power use. It averages between $1.05/month to $1.20/month in power use. I never turn it off.

It's essentially silent, with lots of large, low RPM fans, the exception is in the middle of the night when consolidating data to the HDDs, they make a bunch of noise, but soon I'll upgrade them to flash.

One can build a machine like this for under $1000. The power usage argument for buying a $5000 desktop just won't ever get me. All my AWS instances are ARM, it makes sense for the server and datacenter, but for desktop use the consumer really cares more about price/perf.

Slightly off topic: So many projects and posts boast “written in Rust”. I haven’t been on HN that long—was there a point in time where “written in C++” was a similar “selling point”?

From a quick glance, it looks like this could have been implemented in any native language. I like Rust as much as the next guy, but using it to get clicks when Rust specifically over another native language doesn’t make a difference feels a bit clickbaity.

This could only have been written by someone that has never used CORBA in a real-world situation - i.e. possibly one of the designers (sic) of CORBA.

Unfortunately (for me) I have used CORBA, under extreme duress, in an investment bank trading environment, and it is beyond horrible.

Anyway, this has nothing to do with C - CORBA is supposed to be language-independent.

But perhaps there is a level of sarcasm I am missing out on here. Or an early April 1st?

It is user replaceable. A guy came to my house with the new screen and a screwdriver set and swapped it out right there on my desk. Even left an extra bezel behind because they like to warp after months of opening and closing the lid, causing even more backlight bleed.

My Precision is incredibly upgradable and user serviceable (I've swapped my wifi module, ram, m.2s, and serviced the fans myself), but it has a horrible screen (because of severe backlight bleed), trackpad, weighs nearly 10 pounds, and has a battery life of less than 30 minutes after 3 years.

this is a significantly less criminal version of bruting gift card checking pages, which was both very doable and popular ~5-10 years ago.
the cards themselves had something like 16 characters, but only the last 4 would be variable at any time -- with a couple proxies, you could successfully catch codes after they were activated but before they were redeemed. I'm not sure there was any recourse for the party that was inevitably unable to redeem the gift card they had bought.

We’re moving towards an Internet that’s just one never ending loop of regurgitated spam. Call me naive, but I wish people wielding these skills felt more responsibility to be good citizens of the Internet, rather than spamming cyclical stolen content and “growth hacking” their way to followers by manipulating social networks. The Internet is in no way, shape or form, pure. But I do wish we would stop treating fellow users (humans) as play things just to get a free dinner.

Is it just because I grew up on the Internet starting 20+ years ago that I’m hyper sensitive to spam?
That usually happens in cities and this occurs as a consequence of reaching a critical mass of individuals with whom one forms a subculture. You can find thousands if not tens of thousands of kooks in New York City that will share any given outlandish belief. That's a benefit for cultural diffusion, but a disadvantage for cultural cohesion. In contrast, the weakest areas for LGBT representation are rural areas which already have a tight-nit church-going society and dominant Christian subculture. Communities with the strongest cultures are the ones are least likely or be changed or influenced by others.
how can you have open hardware, but promise fair play?

you cannot. this is the crux of the matter.

consoles dont have cheaters, PC games do.

consoles are locked, pc's are not.

these are separate ideas, that meet when players do: online.

the only way to hide the code to prevent cheating is to physically embalm it into the CPU, in a way that, if physically accessed, will break the machine, rendering the effort fruitless.

PC's are going that way, the way GPU's are containing more "black box" mechanisms themselves.

consoles were this way from the start, on purpose.
