Maybe I could code on an iPad Pro, but definitely not an iPhone. The thought of coding on a phone is terrifying, unless you're one of those people who is super good at manipulating text on a phone. I'm not one of those people.
How do you explain how much of a debacle the Big Dig was? Or the new Kosciuszko Bridge?
I never have the problem of the browser forgetting the cookie. I pay the price once: if I see a cookie banner, I inspect the source and add a CSS ruleto Stylus to remove it permanently. My Stylus config is backed up.

If, for some reason, it doesn't work, I close the page.

Why do I do this? To send a big fuck you the big businesses that want to vacuum up everyone's data without any reciprocity. I'm a very spiteful person, even if it's not easy to get on my wrong side.

There's no conscious decision needed to not be tracked. It's the status quo: by default, I'm not being tracked, and if a web page wants to change that, it should require a conscious decision. That's when I disable the hiding and think about clicking something on the banner.
> Pipelines are much cheaper and safer than rail and would lower the cost of production and therefore the cost of the final product.

Would it?

Oil is a commodity with a huge market. Isn't that oil going to fetch the same price no matter how it actually gets to the market? Lowering production costs for any given small producer should simply mean more profit for them rather than lower prices for buyers of the commodity.
I'm fairly confident you could write a ruby script that would untar a folder and then execute the entry point in 2-3 lines. Then the trick is just making this script and the tar binary be in one single, executable file. You could do this trivially by encoding the binary in base64, but I'm fairly sure there would be a way to have it as straight binary in well, in a way that the ruby interpreter wouldn't complain about.
US had already made Dresden-scale firestorms in, what, 25 cities IIRC. Military command didn't care. Just blockading the country would have forced a full surrender, soon, as lack of fuel would shut down industry.

Ultimately, using the atomic bombs was an attention-getting device. The attention of Russia was as important as of the Japanese generals and emperor.

Automate a Weekly New Twitter Followers Shoutout with Pipedream
When I see such a page, I just leave. It's very simple: there is a huge number of websites competing with each other and it's not like someone if holding a gun to my head forcing me to visit a hostile one. I realized the ones I really care about (documentation, personal projects, etc.) never blackmail me with tracking buttons.
I predict that predictions will get easier and automated over the next 10 year time period.
I don't think it's a myth — well the "foreign buyer" part is probably in the noise.

Talk to a realtor in any U.S. locality (I happen to be working with a realtor in a mid-west state) and ask them how many homes are seeing all-cash offers.

I suspect it is also institutional/corporate buyers and people who cashed out of their home-in-expensive-region and are moving to less expensive communities.

I don't think there's any myth there.
They might have put it in their Outlook or Google calendar, haha.
>isn’t that exactly what Rosetta 2 does?

The original Rosetta software provided during the PowerPC to Intel x86 transition was an instruction and system call translation layer. I haven't used Rosetta 2 but it's probably similar.

As I understand 86Box is emulating specific chip implementations and all of the peripherals, cards and boards needed to run them, not just translating instructions. This makes the emulated machines appear to the guest OS as real hardware, I assume with all the flaws and quirks included.
> Why are you sorting by new?

Otherwise, I wouldn't be reading the news, I'd be reading the olds.

I check Hacker News often enough during a day that if I only care about the most upvoted articles, I reach a point in the list where the items that I've already read and the ones I haven't get mixed. Sorting by new, the moment I see something I've read before, I go "Ah, no more news."

If I'm particularly craving, I scroll down past the chunk of most recently read to a point in the past where there was a larger gap.

Old C code – how to upgrade it?
I've got this code I'm interested in [1], and asked about 2 years ago, actually. My efforts at patching it didn't go well, in retrospect. [2]

It's a Forth variant that does typing, and lots of things that normal forth can't do... likely as powerful as Lisp, I think. It's become an obsession to get this thing running.

I do a wget, unzip, untar, ./configure, make, su make install and it works perfectly... under Debian 3

Anything newer, even with -std=c99, and it dies a horrible death.

Taking the executable from Debian 3 to Debian 11 (32 bit) and it works perfectly.

How do I, a non-C programmer, who is willing to dump tons of time into it, migrate this code into the year 2022?

Here's an example of something that seems opaque to me, from src/words.c:2012

*(--(char*)hash_ptr.parm.v.p) = fpop(sst);

I have a hint as to what's going on here, but when you throw * in there twice, I think you can see how it's confusing.

The takeaway was that the user made an incorrect guess based off the information they had available.

Instagram has turned into one of the best acquisitions made in the last ten years, keeping the Facebook brand relevant to a younger audience than the main website.

But at the time it didn’t seem like all that special of an application given the nascent market in which it sat.
No, there is no coordinate system. This is referring to the distribution of a test statistic for hypothesis testing. It's a 1-d real scalar, and coordinate transforms don't have any meaningful statistical representation. Of course there are much higher-dimensional distributions, in all sorts of coordinate systems, involved in sampling the test statistic, but at the end of the day this is all you are left with. If you change the underlying distributions of the model, then of course you will change the test statistic distribution, but that's meaningless, since the whole point of the test statistic is to quantify an observation in the context of a given model.

Anyway, as I mentioned elsewhere, the motivation for calling it sigma is that, by construction, it maps onto the quantiles of the standard Normal distribution. So an N-sigma result will have the same p-value as N standard deviations in a Normal distribution. So you can associate "sigmas" with "standard deviations of the Normal distribution". Perhaps this is what you are trying to say, but it does not make sigma a standard deviation in any statistical sense, i.e. it is not necessarily related to the variance of the relevant distribution.
Yes but it sure didn't seem like it back in 2012 when Facebook acquired them. Keep in mind back then, IG was just the main feed and search IIRC. It looked like a more social alternative to Flickr.
I had a startup idea around this. I'd like to make the home search much more personalized. I don't care about exact square footage, but I do care about parks, civic associations, etc.

Why can't we find a way to get neighborhoods and housing areas to compete for residents and help people find the home that best suits them? Companies like Zillow are just 1990s Real Estate with a UI and better search. That's great, but if you don't know the area I'm not sure how you're really learning anything from Zillow.
Usually a voting official standing nearby will ask that you pick from at least 2-3 piles.
Looking at historic US housing data, during periods of rate increases prices did not drop, with 2008-2009 being the exception. However, during the previous recessions price discovery was difficult, one needed to go through an agent who interfaced with disjoint MLS systems. I suspect that price discovery through zillow/corelogic might cause faster repricing in the housing market today.

Second home purchases in the reached historic levels over the last two years. There is a lot of inventory that could be listed quickly in comparison to owner occupied homes.

It's not clear that a correction will happen though, wage increases, in particular at lower incomes can sustain higher rates and higher prices for homes below the median. At the high end most buyers are likely asset rich and can also sustain higher prices. The price segment that may be most vulnerable due to higher rates is in the middle.
keyword from GP is multiple. If you buy multiple houses than you probably plan on renting them out/flipping them.
I'm lucky that I can wait out building as it's not my primary, but man, the cost of construction materials is crazy right now. I feel for you.
Thanks, that's perfect. I still have a running emacs instance for magit, and editing elisp at least, so I can still make use of your suggestion. (I made it so that C-g with prefix arg calls top-level; not sure if you'll think that UI makes sense).
Specifically it protects against someone releasing a binary that doesn't match the source. If you can't trust that the binary was built the normal way then you either have to ignore the source and analyze the binary, or build it yourself.
It helps the community.
This logic follows for literally any setting for any genre, though.

Why even bother buying or downloading an existing system, for that matter, when you can just design one yourself?

Or... you could buy a premade game purpose-built for the very setting and type of story you want to experience, and avoid a lot of additional work.

Personally, I'm excited to check this out, and happy to see more cyberpunk systems being developed.
you might correct with this assessment, currently the geopolitical situation of the US dollar is headed for an existential crisis as Russia-centric countries like BRICS, some european countries and Saudi are now looking to move away from pegging to USD.

It's not clear whether they will succeed but should be enough of a threat that the only way to combat an attack on USD would be to raise rates significant enough on top of the pressure from inflation (nobody is buying that we have only 8% inflation, many economists are putting it at about 17%, which is absolutely unprecedented and we can no longer print money, somewhere around over half of the current USD supply was printed post 2020!!!! this is not sustainable!)

Recall that in the 70s, 80s, we had double digit interest rates.

14%: The GDP was 3.2% in 1979, unemployment was 6.0%, and inflation was 11.3%.

and the next year immediately:

20%!!!!: The GDP was -0.3% in 1980, unemployment was 7.2%, and inflation was 13.5%.

Even through out the 90s we had 6% to 9% range with inflation at around low single digits!

In fact it took from 1979 to 2002 for rates to come low to what we have had

1.25%: The GDP was 1.7% in 2002, unemployment was 6.0%, and inflation was 1.6%. The following tables have data taken from The Federal Reserve.

it rose to 4, 5% again until 2008 hit and you know the rest.

0.25% !!!: In 2008, The GDP was 0.1%, unemployment was 7.3%, and inflation was 3.8%. As of Dec. 16, 2008, the target funds rate became a range, represented in the tables by the upper limit.

and during those times, real estate markets struggled while booming in emerging markets.

"every replicant Deckard kills is trying to escape confinement"

I guess that is true at some level depending on how one defines "confinement".

It is not clear to me that Roy or Pris are looking to escape their professions rather, they are in love and about to die of "old age". As Roy bluntly states "I want more life".
It's already been said, but, Emacs. Ironically. Evil is crazy good (that's an interested juxtaposition). Doom Emacs glues lots of Emacs plugins and functionality extensions together cohesively to create quite an intuitive Vim-like experience.
they wont go down that much, but inflation will keep going up and in australia we've had very poor wages growth while hiding unemployment rates under a cover of "part time and casual" jobs. (ie very very low unemployment but not talking about how so many people have to work multiple jobs to get by.)
Why would it? Especially cash buyers?

I can't see institutional investors selling. If house prices fall, they are going to hold on to houses to prevent the losses from being shown on their books. If rent prices fall, they are going to focus on appreciation to cover the losses (and taking advantage of favorable tax treatment that landlords enjoy).

Really, the only way it makes sense for an institutional investor to sell is if the prices reach so high, then plateau, such that even the most optimistic projections show there's not much money to be made in rents+appreciation over the next 10 years.
There is a world of difference between your inability to see the appeal/utility of a thing and that thing being actually worthless, as you are so stridently insisting here.

For a mental exercise, just to prove it to yourself, why don't _you_ try examining all the reasons such accurate emulation might be desirable?

The other poster already provided a reasonable motivation - preservation. But since this discussion started, you've only really come out swinging with disparagement. One has to wonder why you are putting so much energy into suppressing and trashing someone's hobby.

Frankly it looks to me like you have some kind of preconceived and inflexible bias, or that you maybe trying to discover the appeal to this effort in a pointlessly adversarial way. Not a great look. If you really want people to think you have a smart, winning argument maybe try to show some understanding of both sides of the coin before floating your attempt at a clever and withering denouncement.
Sometimes I feel teams choose Electron/webapps because nobody knows how to design a great Windows-native application.

If Windows truly had a great UI+UX equal to macOS, the investment of native apps would be much more worth. Now creating a web app for windows is almost the de facto choice because there’s nothing better!
Nice work, fun game! (maybe tell user to use arrow keys, I was trying mouse buttons)
Note that those cookie banners are required, and ever-present, in the EU since 2011 or so already (long before GDPR), so that's over a decade, what do you mean by "might go away when law catches up with them"? I'd be happy if they would go away by the way, it just seems very optimistic!

> The cookie banners are actually illegal

IANAL but the 2011 cookie law required to notify users about cookies, and banners / popups were at least at that time how websites could do that

All of them support that in fact, no need to make things up.
They send Dolby Digital / Dolby Digital+ (AC3/EAC3) signal via HDMI.
None of those things matter to the central limit theorem.

If I have IID observations with finite 2nd moment (variance), then their average will pretty quickly converge to a Gaussian distribution. And I can relax a lot of this and still recover a variant of CLT.

Of course maybe the calculation is different, eg it’s not like there are N independent observations, but rather some other complex condition solved for the mean estimate.
I'm kinda reminded of the Dropbox comment.

While I essentially agree, I don't think those conversions are trivial for anyone except an experienced GM, with an experienced group, who all consume the same sort of sci-fi media. "Extremely good computers", in isolation, isn't enough information to extrapolate a coherent setting. They're extremely good, fine, but are they, say, all airgapped from one another like in early Shadowrun? The consequences of this small decision affect everything from the players designing their hacker characters to the GM designing the layout of the corp they'll be hacking. Can you run a game without considering this at all? Probably -- just don't play hackers!! But the GM having the answers to questions like this, or better still, the players reading about what computers are like in a corebook before the first session of play, is ultimately easier for everyone and more immersive.

Further, a system used to play a game strongly affects the game's feel. Take the Star Trek license, there's been plenty of attempts[0]: FASA, LUG, even GURPS and d20 modern supplements. None really make for a playable game, because they're mere reskins of games fundamentally designed to tell different stories than those one usually thinks of when one hears "Star Trek" [1]. Those systems are more simulationist and gameist, particularly GURPS and d20, and express more DNA from RPGing's Great Ancestor of tactical wargaming than is appropriate for Star Trek. Star Trek needs a narrativist system.

The most recent attempt, Star Trek Adventures, has a ruleset that's a mere armature upon which narrative beats are hung. But what rules exist power a sort of bennie-economy [2] that allows the GM to menace the players with the mechanical equivalent of threatening musical stings, and allows the players to pull technobabble/white-knuckle-skill solutions from nowhere to defeat those otherwise-insurmountable GM-imposed obstacles.

It just feels more like Star Trek in ways that have nothing to do with the GM or the players individually. I'm not suggesting that this, uh, fairly aspirational [3] project is necessarily going to have that desirable trait, but rolling one's own system means there's at least a chance.

For European readers, a bit of useful context that surprised me when I moved to USA. Most Americans buy their homes on 30-year mortgages with fixed interest rate. So rate increases generally only affect those buying, not those who already own.

In Europe (at least the parts I'm familiar with), it's more common for mortgages to be on adjustable rates, basically the European Central Bank rate + a fixed margin. This has been an excellent deal for the past 10+ years, as the ECB rate sunk below zero.

(I have a mortgage in Finland that I took in 2011, and for many years I've paid zero interest on it because ECB rate + the loan margin added up to a negative rate. Sadly my bank clamps it at zero.)
FWIW in france you can either use a passport, your national ID card, your social security card, or plenty of other official documents (all with photo, https://www.service-public.fr/particuliers/vosdroits/F1361). So there is no barrier at all for the voting ID.
"Line go up" is fine when the new money is all concentrated in the imaginary financial sphere and doesn't leak into the real world. Now however they went and created even more new money, and holders of the "imaginary portion" of the money supply want to realize it before it loses value... which is the inflationary disaster they've been pushing ahead and putting off forever with "line go up".

Like living under a big, poorly built dam. You know there's this potential flood on the other side, looming over you. So you pile another foot of dirt on top of the dam and yay! the disater isn't as near. Keep doing this for 15 years and you might forget the reason for the ritual of the dam raising and consider the lake to be proof of your virtue and productivity.

Now the water isn't as wet and we want more, need more; surely we can just carve a few channels in the dam and let some of that water flow, right?

It's a game, you make your own rules and stories. I'm glad I could live through the 80's playing "offensive" RPG like Berlin XVIII,In Nomine Satanas or Paranoia without anybody telling me they were "problematic".

That's why these are called "dystopia" and you're not necessarily playing the good guys, there is nothing "problematic" with it.

I think the new "safe, diverse and inclusive" D&D version is aimed at people concerned by "problematisms". See? there are RPG for everybody.
