i was just thinking how it always annoyed me that my garmin smartwatch doesnt have an off switch but that’s good context. though quartz doesnt have gps sensors..
Thanks for your feedback. Could you elaborate a little? I'm not being snarky -- I came up with them based on similar things I'd seen online and I'm not great at visual communication, so if you've improvement suggestions, I'd genuinely like to hear them.
Any what was this OS and text editor they used back then? https://i.imgur.com/UygEIkJ.png

Edit: well it's just a terminal not a full PC but seems to be model 1746? That's the closest shot https://i.imgur.com/mGlb2va.png
my son's hoverboard had a similar malfunction. literally the handbook said there is no reset, and we just need to let it drain the battery. it took DAYS for the LED lights to drain the battery......
I refuse to hack. I'm an IT professional, not an amateur, and am actually capable of building my own OS packages.

Why would I use Docker when I know how to make nice, clean OS packages?
The Beginner's Creed by Peter J Denning
* More innovations with passthrough (combination of a VR headset and AR). Currently you can get "X-Ray Vision" to see where your controllers are in a room. In the future, this could be expanded to other peripherals such as keyboards. It allows you to have a cooking video playing while cooking (hands-free control) [1] or place/design furniture in your room [2]

* Once the resolution is a little better - virtual offices[3] and cinemas[4] allow for significantly more screen real estate than a traditional setup, requiring less space and capital investment.

* Live/pre-recorded virtual concerts and sports games[5] are already occurring (where you can invite friends to watch in real time). The current 'experiences' (wingsuit flying, virtual tourism, etc..) are far more immersive than watching the equivalent 360° Video

* VR fitness is a reasonable method of cardio, burning ~9 calories a minute. It can also augment other training methods, such as a stationary bike[6]

* Haptic suits[7], gloves and treadmills[8] - not really my thing, but allowing 360° running and feeling the interactions with your environment.

Cryptocurrency is also good for evading national capital controls. Wealthy Chinese can purchase mining hardware and electricity using the local "funny money" currency, generate coins, and then sell those in another country for real money.
They're right though. The Internet was better when it didn't have tons of people giving their unsolicited opinions and corporations coming in and having every single one of their actions be antithetical to the esprit of the WWW. It was better when people had to put in effort to find something and not take 30 seconds to select the first Google-approved search result.
It is almost literally pedophilia, the love of children--but I'm really commenting on the shortfall of English which uses love for many different feelings.
The “webmaster” designation probably came from the “webmaster@domain” functional email addresses, which in turn were modeled after the existing “postmaster@domain” convention for contacting the email admin(s) of a domain. Does anyone know if there were other *masters?
Ask HN: How do you minify JavaScript in 2022?
I am making a zero-dependency JavaScript project in VanillaJS. There's no build step. You can just run a static server and load an HTML that loads that javaScript.

Still, I want to minify and obfuscate the source to reduce bundle size. In essence, this is a build step. What's the best way to Node.js package to do this in 2022 that doesn't address 20 other problems like module bundling and TypeScript compilation?
> so "pure" in the title doesn't really make sense.

I can see where you're coming from, but I've never used or heard anyone in the web world use "pure" to mean only "written entirely in Javascript without transpilation or other tools."

If it hits the parts of "pure JS" that most people care about:

- it's running entirely in Javascript.

- it has no native dependencies.

- it can run entirely clientside.

- it can be embedded in a normal web page.

then I think most people will be fine with using "pure" to describe it.

----

I wouldn't even have that many quibbles with their phrasing even if they were compiling to WASM. Sure, at that point it wouldn't be running as pure javascript, but it would still hit 3 of the 4 points above.
Look at a smart phone. Just the physical parts like the battery, the cpu, display and power electronics are completely different to technology in 1990.

How do you get information or deal with payments? It's the smartphone. Many people in developing countries benefit immensely from this change. Or refugees or travelers. And on software services side, we have similar improvements - the smartphone would be useless without the services it's used with. How many hours of queuing have we eliminated since now you can do those things online? In my country almost nothing requires physical presence anymore. And also, millions of people can spend their time on something more productive than sitting behind a counter, serving customers for trivial things.

Although, ironically, these hacker news discussions could have content wise been had in the usenet already in the eighties. No similar upvoting / downvoting crowd moderation though, which did kill it as a discussion platform once the masses got access.

What other technologies look completely different? People laughed at wind and solar power. They were completely unviable as power sources.

Cars used leaded gasoline. Diesels were rolling smoke stacks. Air quality in cities was terrible. Now we have electric buses.

On the other hand, there have been regressions. Nuclear power was being built at a fast pace in the late seventies and early eighties. It's way slower now.
GNU stands for "GNU is Not UNIX", which means that I both hate and despise it. The command line is all I use. I work with Git every day and use it heavily.
Yup video calling is a game changer, a lot of signs require two hands so it's still challenging even with video calling!
Yep, precisely. Tough times ahead for Uber (and possibly for their millions of gig workers).
> "With a population of 17 million, the Netherlands is already the most heavily phone-tapped country in the world – with about 26,000 taps granted to the police and other agencies, excluding the security services, every year, according to figures from the Department of Justice."

Not surprising, given that the Netherlands is the major port of entry for drugs into Europe - alone the port of Rotterdam had cocaine seizures worth 5 billion euros in 2021 [1], and Europol estimates 1500 distinct criminal organizations in the cocaine trade.

Something is strange about this.

3.8m people have left Russia since this started, a rate of more than 1% of the population per month. How can such a flood of emigration coexist with an 80% approval rate?
I don't think it's about risk, I think it's about low-hanging fruits. It's also why some people could bring revolution to mathematics, physics, philosophy in just one life before, and these days it's not possible.
Adding code to an existing ELF file
It's actually quite common in other areas of engineering where you have engineers (typically with four year engineering degrees) and technicians (who typically don't). And, yes, you have very good technicians and not so good engineers--but it's not easy or particularly routine for technicians to transition to an engineering job.

That said, there is probably not such a gap between a programmer and a computer scientist--especially in terms of the skills needed for most software jobs.

Moving is one time this is awkward. There's basically no practical way to "legally" move out/into most apartments in Manhattan as it comes to parking and traffic enforcement.

My current building utilizes a bike lane for this purpose, I'm sure much to the dismay of bikers. The only other option is blocking much of the traffic to one of our city's lovely inter-borough bridges.
I heard of this service recently from somewhere else too. Sounds really great; pricing is quite fair. This is the kind of service we need nowadays - where some software i can self-host, and others i can pay someone (like pikapods) to manage for me (at least at some lower/base level anyway). Good luck!
Was it better for those who couldn't use it?
It always seemed to be that Europe came up with GDPR because (1) they felt envious of other geographical regions that were more successful at developing web services, and (2) they passed a law to guarantee they'd never produce a Google or a Facebook.

(These are contradictory, but so are the preferences of committees)

Before GDPR every web site had somebody involved who officially or not served as a "voice of the user" who pushed back on user hostile features such as pop-up, pop-in, pop-under, and other annoying windows.

The GDPR drove all of these people into hiding, and once it was normalized that you'd pop in a window to harass users about privacy, it no longer felt safe to advocate for the user and against pop up windows asking people to subscribe to notifications that nobody in their right mind would want, against having two or three pop-ups asking a user to subscribe to an email list, etc.

(And us computer programmers get blamed for "not having empathy for the user"... I just wish I could take all the negative emotions aimed at us and magically redirect them to the handful of Eurocrats who made life worse for the rest of us.)
HOT TAKE: maybe not. Just make it default off. Official switch pro controller does not have this issue because it's always off, unless you press buttons, then it connects. Corollary: you cannot store it in a place where buttons might be pressed, or it will indeed drain the battery like in the post.

(Edit: if you disagree, please tell me why. With proper design, it's possible for every button on this type of controller to act effectively as an on button, and I even cited a working, shipping example.)

Heh. I just started Seeing Like a State [1998] by James C. Scott. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seeing_Like_a_State

Hearing about failed utopian efforts, like "scientific forestry", what laypersons today might call "tree farms", I can't help but think of so many failed IT projects.

If there's been one constant in my career, it'd be the banality of misapprehended complexity. It must be something like a natural law. Like how humans are turrible at assessing risk.

Horrendous yes, but it was necessary, because without it we wouldn't have had the nice doctype HTML5 today. It addressed a lot of problems found in the early html and paved way for standardization and a path forward.

5% of plastic is recycled. Yes, the economic incentives of single use drive this at scale.

As toast0 mentions in a sibling comment, incineration is likely the solution (or rather, plasma gasification, which is more energy intensive but results in a cleaner process byproduct stream).

Thanks for your feedback! I'm not sure I said it's a good user interface (I'm not a visual person so wouldn't have the confidence) but I do think it's a good example of a set of features that show a community interacting in realtime. Maybe I didn't make that clear in the article so I'll bear in mind for future writing. TY!
Ah, cheers! You're a treasure!
Well, that's not what the author of the parent comment wrote or seemed to imply.

As much as one example to the contrary might not automatically change a general sentiment or perception, one particular listener only having encountered what they perceive as narcissism or self-involved navel-gazing might just be down to sampling bias.

The point I was trying to make is that there clearly are examples from that particular podcast where guests at least aren't entirely motivated by selfish or narcissistic pursuits.
On a smaller scale, this is also true of company cultures. They change when leaders depart for one reason or another, and new leaders arrive or are promoted to fill the vacancies.
Good system administration is not having a zoo of different software management subsystems on any given system, so system administration is consistent and simple.

Everything must always be delivered in the native format of the OS software management subsystem; anything else is amateurism, not to mention a system administration AND a system engineering nightmare.

Re fakes: The community is good about helping but hard to seek their advice without it tipping your hand. Some very smart members of the discord community. I don’t spend more than $1000 without verifying the frame or scene which captures most issues. I also have strong preference to own the douga + cel.

Lastly, I don’t and wouldn’t buy cels doraemon or Pokémon without it being a full master setup. There is no way to verify a random show of pikachu.
generally speaking coming out hot with a "whatever you're doing is wrong and you need to do it the way I want you to do it" is always a hard sell - regardless of how valid your original argument may be
The US is a "low trust" society. We don't trust our government. Our entire system was in fact designed assuming the axiom that people in power cannot be trusted. People are not confident those tax dollars would be used to offset the externality, as opposed to a pet project. Sadly, our history would seem to make that lack of confidence rational. But, denying our government the power to govern isn't the solution, demanding (and getting) transparency and personal accountability that is meaningfully severe is.
OK! I guess this is also true!
You don't have to tell me how to calculate if a number is odd or even, that's not my point.

The thing is, n % 2, i need to do mental gymnastics do comprehend whats going on. Even if your function is just one line, I rather read isOdd or isEven instead of n % 1 of n % 2, remembering when 1 or 2 stand for even or odd is something I could have trouble with.

It's never been easier to host a webpage than it is today. You can host 100s of student sites on a $5/month VPS. The free tier of AWS/GCP/etc are extremely capable. There are free services like Wix and Glitch that let you build a webpage and then mess with the HTML, no domain name needed.

The problem of warez is certainly no worse than it was 30 years ago, and there are much better tools to address it. A simple storage quota probably goes a long way.

If its only available to get through the Windows App Store, is that even possible to do? I haven't actually used Wine in a very long time, so I don't actually know how that would interact with the App Store.

It's even worse: many of the alcohol products for sale at duty free are exclusive to duty free, thus preventing any price comparison.

The audio system in linux desktop being broken all the time is in great part due to the complexity of the system. It's not that audio is inherently complex and difficult. It's just the basic model that these systems assume is broken.

Windows and macOS for the most part don't suffer from these problems.

Now, you can completely remove audio support and claim you have a simple system, but how useful would that be?
My experience is pretty much the opposite. GDPR was a response to user hostile behavior and some sites responded with fixibg that while others doubled down on user hostility.

As a programmer I blame my fellow programmers who created the problems and not the eurocrats who tried to fix it.

I believe that Taro has an edge over RGB because the developers from Lightning Labs are more trusted the understand the current implementation tradeoffs, and also Taro is a simpler protocol that plays great with Bitcoin, and I also believe that sending/storing USD over lightning network will be important in the near future.
