Dendrinos is a moderately well-known guy by ancient near-eastern peeps and he's not regarded well. He doesn't really know what he's talking about and his paper makes that pretty obvious. Here are some random issues I can quickly point out from a skim:

1. Doesn't understand how typological classification works

2. Kind of offhandedly acknowledges, but doesn't actually cite the PPNA plaster dating that Dietrich and Schmidt did 6 years prior, negating the entire fill argument.

3. Starts comparing things to Natufian and other levant material cultures.

4. Just randomly starts assuming his urban planning hypotheses, which are neither well-accepted in the field nor well-regarded by people who specialize in that stuff as it applies to the ancient near-east.

All of this is fine because he's essentially retired and simply getting into internet fights to avoid boredom. Nothing wrong with that, but let's avoid bringing him up as an authority.
You’re a person not a hacker. Go see a therapist.
Confusing comment. Did you miss the massive touchpad beneath the keyboard? Surely it has two-finger scrolling.

I would expect three-finger middle click emulation (which kinda sucks I agree).

I'm pretty sure browsers automatically expand their in-memory cache to fill the available space, things would probably work with less.

This hardware looks great... is it possible to run a custom OS? I currently run exclusively NixOS in my homelab because of its great reproducibility and deployment story, but this hardware looks very nice and surprisingly affordable as well.
Also, bold of you to assume Linux HiDPI support is up to the task. Evidently HP don't think so.

Imagine for a moment if FB and Google took all their developers and resources and applied it to solving cancer, how long do you think it would take to make a dent in the problem space? Or is there a hard limit stopping us from progressive like Moores law for scientific understanding.
Sure, but that's not really imperative programming. That's imperative programs finding their correct niche. It's a shift in perspective. Today we do imperative programming with a little distributed/async/parallel/concurrent programming sprinkled in. In the future distributed/async etc. will be the default with a little imperative programming sprinkled in.
I ordered one of the N6005 models off AliExpress about 2 weeks ago, it should be an upgrade from some of the older network test boxes I'm using. I wouldn't really recommend the J4125 version when the price difference was so small, I guess if you need it to arrive ASAP that might be the only case. Also they sell barebones versions, I'd recommend that and just bringing your own RAM/SSD instead.
Not lost, just sitting in a landfill somewhere probably, waiting to be mined again.
But Apple charges ridiculous premiums for everything. For example, at https://frame.work/products/laptop-diy-12-gen-intel/configur... it's only $80 more for 32GB than for 16GB.
I would love a `find` with reverse polish notation, also known as postfix notation. Something like:

find . --name this --name that --or

or, for more complex:

find . --name this --name that --or --modified 2022-05-20 --and

I have some little personal CRUD apps and this sort of postfix notation works very well for them.

I could write something like this but haven't gotten motivated to do it though.
My favourite movie is called "The Man From Earth", about a man who was born 14,000 years ago and hasn't died.

He doesn't know why, but he just keeps living.

What I think about every time I think of this movie is, "Okay, so he was 12,000 years old at the time of Christ". He lived then - now 6 times, and then then-now again.

He was 8,000 years old in Mesopotamia..

Now I can imagine this beloved character in this new, very old, civilization
Indeed. Since much earlier in the article the author says,

Every 16 GB machine I've used for work in the last three years (until current 32 GB one) I'd occasionally run out of memory. Culprit? Web browsers... On Mac, Linux, and Windows. (Though occasionally other stuff needed significant memory too.)
To put that in perspective, 2000 years is roughly how long it took humans to question/revisit Aristotle’s 4 element theory - captured in the The Sceptical Chymist: or Chymico-Physical Doubts & Paradoxes. That was written less than 400 years ago. It’s amazing how slow things moved until the 1600s and the explosion of progress that’s followed.

So you're saying you looked up the primary source documents for Southern secession and you still believe slavery wasn't a cause?
Low tech debt would be ideal but even allocating sprint time to addressing tech debt would be a huge step ahead of many organizations, who just accumulate it until the house comes crashing down.

Problem is it’s not a metal encased laptop with a partially bitten fruit on the back. If it had been that then people would have been happy to pay $2K for 8GB RAM and sing paeans and wait breathlessly to upgrade to next iteration for $2.9K next year, again with 8GB RAM.

I'm seriously curious, is this the first time this link is being submitted?

Frequently, I try to submit a link, and it shows up as having been submitted. And I'm quite certain a tool as popular as fd has been featured on hn before. So either, somehow this particular link has never been submitted (doubtful), hn allows resubmitting a link after some amount of time, or the link resubmit prevention logic doesn't apply to certain users?

> The South didn't revolt over something Lincoln said, they revolted over the failure to secure their desire for expansion of slavery into the territories

There was no such desire on the South's part, although the claim that there was was common in abolitionist propaganda of the time. The South already knew that none of the territories being added to the Union at that time were suitable for the kind of economy based on slavery that they had in the established Southern states.

> which they read (probably accurately) as foreshadowing eventual abolition of slavery if they remained in the Union

No, what they read (probably accurately) as foreshadowing eventual abolition of slavery if they remained in the Union was...the continuing vociferous demands on the part of abolitionists over decades for the abolition of slavery, which continued to gain more political traction over time. Lincoln's election as a Republican just pushed them over the edge (although another strong signal was sent a couple of years before when all of the abolitionists who kept talking about how we should let the legal process work and abide by its decisions, suddenly switched gears and started talking about ignoring the legal process after the Dred Scott decision). There is no need to attribute fictitious motives of "expansion of slavery" to the South to account for secession. The documented historical facts of the abolitionist movement are more than enough.
> This is so wrong it's a wonder how anyone could think this.

A very long propaganda campaign (oddly, by the very same people who argue that slavery was actually a good thing that was done for those subject to it who should be thankful for it) has established it as an article of faith for a large population in this country, despite the fact that the rebels were quite explicit that the rebellion was about slavery.

I'm also interested in this, mainly for the battery life improvements.
I don't think you should use Apple to put upgrade pricing in perspective. They've used inflated pricing to extract extra money from a captive audience for many years. Other OEMs cannot demand similar premiums for commodity products.
He's not painting a full picture here. Sounds like he is leaving a lot of information out.
Also, I find parking exceedingly annoying, vastly worse than waiting around.
Yup, the same thing happens with independent minors in the care of the State - they get a benefit from the state every month but if they have above [a tiny number saved] or earn above [a tiny paycheck every month] the subsidy is reduced, dollar for dollar. It’s an awful system.
This is really cool- some times i would lament that we are switchint to plastic, and people lament 'but plastix is so much more CO2 efficient, less energy intesive..'

But average lifetime of Iron is over 100 years, whats average lifetime of plastic, considerong much is single use, one week?
Credit to the advisor for noticing!
> change all state laws to nuke the practice

Even that's just a start. According to https://www.forbes.com/sites/nicksibilla/2018/12/19/cops-can..., when one state banned civil forfeiture, it was so profitable that several cities kept doing it in violation of the state law, until courts finally forced them to stop 3 years later.

So next the federal DEA stepped in. Since the federal government still practices civil forfeiture in the state, local police agencies are encouraged to tip off the DEA to any property that might be federally seizable, and then the DEA pays kickbacks to the local police force that provided the tip.

This all sounds like racketeering and conspiracy to me. But you see, when the federal government does it, it's NOT racketeering and conspiracy.
You should look up the i3 keybindings and use those. Mine are based off that:

Super+Enter for terminal.
Super+Space for launcher (rofi).
Super+C to center window.
Super+X to close window.

Super+E for editor.
I have many others.

I wouldn't use a keyboard without a Super key.

A lot of those people in India and China commit suicide, have mental breakdowns, or end up living generally unsatisfying lives. Their system is entirely unenviable.
It depends expensive data centers, engineers and whole legal enforcement involving judges, lawyers, prosecutors, overseer, agents and jails to make public servants not corrupted. Even hiring one human are much more expensive than blockchain. Governments and banks research blockchain to reduce all these expenditure. Blockchain data can be updated with old data permanent at the same time, not a problem at all.

I honestly think you're not informed enough on this topic. What you are criticizing are mostly solved now. Gov and big banks are adopting blockchain opposite to your point.
brilliant stuff
The initial copy probably said "run two electron apps at the same time", and a marketing review decided that was too esoteric and shit-canned it.
At some point in time the whole of society needs to be presented with the true cost of individual lifestyles.

And there needs to be a discourse about which lifestyles and life choices should at all and to what degree they should be subsidised by the government and why this is legitimate.

There are a whole lot of subsidies that are neither fair nor sustainable and over time we need to transition away from them.

This is painful and becoming a little more evident these times but it needs to happen.

The median salary of a heart surgeon compares favorably with a senior at FAANG [1][2].

> Hive SQL, Spark SQL, Scala Spark, PySpark and Presto are widely used as different execution engines

This makes me think they're doing something very very wrong. AirBNB does not have data on the scale that would require these tools. They have 5.6 million listings, 150 million users, and 1 billion total person-stays. These numbers can easily be processed with Postgres or SQLite on single machines. Spark and Hive are for companies like Google and Facebook.

Don't ask Lincoln, he's not the one who seceded.

Ask the states who left. South Carolina, for instance, directly blames the North's increasing hostility towards slavery - https://avalon.law.yale.edu/19th_century/csa_scarsec.asp :

"The Constitution of the United States, in its fourth Article, provides as follows: "No person held to service or labor in one State, under the laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, in consequence of any law or regulation therein, be discharged from such service or labor, but shall be delivered up, on claim of the party to whom such service or labor may be due."

This stipulation was so material to the compact, that without it that compact would not have been made. The greater number of the contracting parties held slaves, and they had previously evinced their estimate of the value of such a stipulation by making it a condition in the Ordinance for the government of the territory ceded by Virginia, which now composes the States north of the Ohio River.

The same article of the Constitution stipulates also for rendition by the several States of fugitives from justice from the other States.

The General Government, as the common agent, passed laws to carry into effect these stipulations of the States. For many years these laws were executed. But an increasing hostility on the part of the non-slaveholding States to the institution of slavery, has led to a disregard of their obligations, and the laws of the General Government have ceased to effect the objects of the Constitution. The States of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa, have enacted laws which either nullify the Acts of Congress or render useless any attempt to execute them. In many of these States the fugitive is discharged from service or labor claimed, and in none of them has the State Government complied with the stipulation made in the Constitution. The State of New Jersey, at an early day, passed a law in conformity with her constitutional obligation; but the current of anti-slavery feeling has led her more recently to enact laws which render inoperative the remedies provided by her own law and by the laws of Congress. In the State of New York even the right of transit for a slave has been denied by her tribunals; and the States of Ohio and Iowa have refused to surrender to justice fugitives charged with murder, and with inciting servile insurrection in the State of Virginia. Thus the constituted compact has been deliberately broken and disregarded by the non-slaveholding States, and the consequence follows that South Carolina is released from her obligation. "
>Looks like Apple really has the “charge outrageously and be hailed for it” license.

A new M1 Macbook Air starts at $999, and will put that Ryzen to shame. Not to mention infinitely better build quality and battery life. Apple has always been a great value for the price, even if that price is slightly higher than the bargain bin stuff.

Generators are noisy and dirty. At that time they were powered by coal. It would take some extensive modifications to a building to put one in a basement, if it were even possible. Probably it wouldn't have been worth it just for an extra hour or two of people shopping.

> Multics Emacs proved to be a great success—programming new editing commands was so convenient that even the secretaries in his office started learning how to use it. They used a manual someone had written which showed how to extend Emacs, but didn't say it was a programming. So the secretaries, who believed they couldn't do programming, weren't scared off. They read the manual, discovered they could do useful things and they learned to program.

It's pretty clear that the grandparent comment means wikipedia doesn't support diverse views on things. Outside of the hard sciences, and even there with caveats, there are not objective truths, and the point is that wikipedia is not a place where all interpretations get the same consideration. Maybe it would be useless if it did, but it's not bias-free
Yes. It reminds me of the bad old days of magazine layout in the 1990s and early 2000s, when graphic designers, armed with the latest desktop publishing software, roundly defeated the conservative forces of authors and readers.
