I think the main use case is avoiding non-open source alternatives.

If you want something that actually offers more capability then something like node-red is probably more useful, it allows scripting all kinds of custom behaviour over many different protocols. (although even then it's rare to find a real use for it, besides having fun hacking things together, though they make it easy to build your own UI for stuff, which is neat)
DNA testing for embryos promises to predict genetic diseases
Valid points but want to address some specific points:

2) Not entirely true. On average you may be right, but some specific items that I care about, like some good brands of milk, are actually cheaper on the app than at the store (my reference store is Rewe which is the closest to me and a bit on the expensive side).

3) If the price of items is higher as you say, then shouldn't that cover the salaries of the couriers? Also they have a guaranteed minimum wage and tips. They get a great workout since it's all based on bicycles.

4) The deliveries happen from a warehouse and not the grocery store. I assume the warehouse is optimized for deliveries and not foot fall.

On average I do pay more per week, maybe +10€, which is well worth it since I have a toddler at home and every hour is accounted for.

P.S. German cities are very compact and have decent bicycle lanes.
I support more people having websites, if only to make it harder for people to pretend it's revolutionary and special to do so.
When I used ParcPlace Objectworks Smalltalk 4.1. and then VisualWorks Smalltalk in the early '90s, you'd use a menu item to write a human-readable ASCII serialization of some part of the system (not changelog) to the host filesystem. And it'd be diffable and mergeable and loadable.

Doing Git with just that seems only a little different than what we'd do with a collection of source files today in some other language, including branches and merges.

At the same time, one commercial site I worked at was doing its SCM for C code using kludge scripts over SCCS to an NFS volume. The next was putting C and C++ into Apollo DSEE and making SPARCstations jump through hoops to use that (because ancient DSEE on some Apollo DN10ks for SCM and CI/CD was better than the state of the art almost everyone else was using) and my advanced R&D group had just gotten DSEE-descendant Atria ClearCase for greenfield work in C++ from our Sun and HP workstations. The next site was using some dumpster fire of `.BAT` scripts over Perforce(?) for Windows NT-dominated C++ development.

I'd say VisualWorks Smalltalk's wasn't the problem for team development at the time. The state of practice of everything else was more the problem.
Untrue on both counts. Source: generational small farmer in exile.

It’s those little QoL upgrades which puts macOS/iOS etc. in a league of its own. The integration you get out of the box is what sells me on Apple stuff now. I think the average person doesn’t notice or care about these little things, and so windows does the job for them. I live in my computer though, so I notice everything.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe those idrac cards only work on compatible Dell servers. So it really isn't a catch-all solution for most people like these ip KVM Solutions.
With wheel locks + 2 D locks you can get around the problem of the bike being used as a lever to break a single D lock. It also means thieves are less likely to screw with your bike trying to take the wheels off.

Yesterweb asks a simple question, "Can't we have one thing, one measly crumb-of-a-thing, not tainted by capitalism?" And the resounding response is "NO."
>Everything boils down to these two things: Laziness(masqueraded as "convenience") and Greed.

There is also the need to feed people, which is neither laziness or greed. A lot of tech is needed to make enough food for people.

>People should grow and consume as much local food as possible.

Also known as lower standard of living - people don't want that. Large scale food production has made cost of food go from ~40% of family budget (around 1900) to 10%. It has also widened diets allowing lots of variety that people also choose. Also large scale food production has increased yields incredibly, without which many people on the planet now would starve.

>help reduce dependence on fossil fuel

Those same fossil fuels provide modern medicine (and a host of other modern benefits), which again I think people like to have.

Can’t speak to Berlin within the past 3 years, but I’ve never seen any sort of gate/turnstile entry to German train or subway. There are little punch machines in the stations most places, or just use that city’s transit app - Nuremberg’s is well-integrated with Apple Pay.

Enforcement is anywhere from routine and uniformed (IC/ICE), semi-routine (RE/RB/S-Bahns), to random and plainclothes (most subway systems).
Fun to see this here again. Love the controversy and discussion this brings. I wrote it in a good humor and I still giggle at the some of reactionary responses. “How dare you call this a falsehoods list” and so forth.

Anyway things are getting better now. More people got into search and info retrieval since I dropped this list. And there’s a great growing community out there of people who find and adore the problem space. For those who enjoy reading, I’m glad you do! For the people who don’t, … :)

Hey there. I agree with some of the comments out there - a new language in Spanish does not make much sense in the pragmatic way: understanding English is a requirement for every coder out there.

However, most of the technical projects out there do not have to be usable by everyone or have an interesting goal. So kudos for creating a language from zero (I saw the code on Github and I am sure you learnt a lot doing this). Some people may think this is just "translating back to English and running Python", but you are the doing the whole parsing, so I think it is awesome.

Try to avoid the negativity that you may find in HN and be happy with this!

Abrazo che!
No where in my sentence did I mention the Steam Deck. My point spans beyond the Steam Deck and on to 'Linux Desktop' support in general.

Assuming you have read the article, it has already told us that Discord does not care to support the Linux Desktop more than Windows or Mac and would rather keep it outdated and working on most distros than to update everything and it ends up breaking on your favourite distro.

No company would seriously cater their resources to fully supporting an infinite about of distros to satisfy a small minority of non-paying users. Anyone expecting this is frankly trolling and know they cannot define Linux support themselves and writing such letters of 'free support' like this one is also futile.
You can hook these up through a regular kvm switch that allows you to use a single mouse, keyboard, monitor with more than one system. But you should read up a little before purchasing. Only certain switches will work correctly to switch servers using a keystroke combo. I have read that some didn't seem to work with a virtual keyboard like this tinykvm.
I am not aware of any non-commercialized crypto anything (from my understanding, this is sorta by definition, but maybe I'm missing something). Do you have any examples?
When a neophyte is excited about Lisp, they mean s-expressions and eval. We shouldn't ask them Lisp-1 or Lisp-2, or Scheme? Or reader macros. We should throw them a helping hand to expand their computational universe.

We should always seek to educate the pupil graciously.
I think that is really hard to say. Depending on where the salary growth and demand is, it could easily worsen inequality.

If salary for white collar workers and inflation goes up too much, employing blue collar work becomes unprofitable and those workers get locked out of the labor market.

It’s actually one of a few old mesures usuelles that were given a convenient, round equivalent in the metric system in a decree under Napoleon. The pint (or demi) is another one that is understood these days; the others are all but forgotten.

> sometimes the fastest code deliberately introduces coupling, hardware specific cache shenanigans or unreadable hand written asm and/or inlined SIMD.

>> this is a perfect example of how simpler code should be preferred _by default_ over complex code.

Extra emphasis on *by default*.

You are both on the same side of the coin. This is the essence of "premature optimization is the root of all evil". Simplicity should be the default. Once you know your implementation is solid, then you can go back and optimize.

TFA is quite contrived, but imagine a much more complex process. You see some code:

for i in loop:
foo[i] = myfunc(foo[i], bar[i])

You have to go in and dig into why exactly foo is being fed back in at every step. But if instead you saw:

for i in loop:
foo[i] = myfunc(bar[i])

You immediately know you have more options at your disposal to optimize that loop. Further, the compiler immediately knows it has more options. Maybe this is a good option for automatic unrolling or Duff's device. Maybe you wanna send this to a gpu shader, or use a macro to parallelize the loop. But it's a lot harder to get to that point if your starting point is the complected, stateful one.
Starlink works fine in densely populated areas, they just have a fixed number of users per square mile they can serve regardless of the density.

There also tends to be more competition in densely populated areas (but perhaps more people looking for backup internet)
It's true. The aforementioned languages not only boil down Smalltalk's object system into a basic "code sharing" scheme, they also perpetuate the unnecessary class and instance dichotomy. There is no reason an "instance" cannot be a "class" by itself. Self (a successor to Smalltalk) gets rid of this dichotomy by assuming a prototype-based object system instead of Smalltalk's classes. In Self, a prototype can be copied and that copy can then be used as its own prototype (this is used heavily in its UI toolkit Morphic).

It’s not the most widely used package manager anymore, I don’t believe. Sileo and Zebra are more popular. I don’t even think my jailbroken 14.8.1 iPhone 7 has Cydia installed.
There is no such thing, as there is no "standard English pseudocode". What usually happens is that they use terrible translators for technical books, and we end up with monstrosities like this one. Why bothering to "create" a programming language in Spanish if it is going to be a literal word by word translation from English, a language with different syntax, semantics and pragmatics?
I worked through this program and found it pretty easy:

I ended up doing a set of 500 a day for 6 or so months before losing interest and focusing more on my primary exercise, long-distance running.

I’ve found that people love to find an excuse to not do a specific exercise. For any exercise, you’ll find an article that says it’s terrible for whatever reason.
Passing an object by reference to a function creates an alias. Storing a pointer as a field creates an alias. It would be very odd to have a program with zero aliasing relationships. Do do this you would need to never assign from a pointer type.

This has nothing to do with C (mostly - you havoc more frequently when analyzing C if you want to be sound). Pointer Analysis papers usually target Java and in that space it is still stunningly difficult.
If you want to get vaccinated for hepatitis A and/or B, but are not specifically recommended for it, you have to say you want it (they are not supposed to ask questions but they might), and under all ACA plans there must be no out of pocket cost for the whole thing.
I don't understand. You want rights but don't want the government to have any power to enforce them? What should happen when a company does something that you feel violates your rights?
Interesting style of story-telling that seems to flips the chronology of the lie being told about time to fix (2 weeks) and the contractor being fired. Can't help but think if "Ellen" were honest about timeframes --- which a competent professional should be, even in the face of an obvious professional advantage --- then nobody need have lost their jobs for the mistaken attempt to progress the struggling project.
Microsoft already does this in Windows 8, 10 and 11 with their "telemetry" servers.

The DNS queries for these bypass any of your own DNS settings.

They even bypass host file overrides.
And once you can plank for a minute, you might as well do (modified or normal) push-ups.
That is correct, you can only use iDRAC in a Dell server. Other manufacturers have similar BMC solutions, but it's really a built-in item and not something you can just pop into the PCI slot of your custom-built tower.
In Indiana the types I see the most are the wave and what wikipedia calls the ladder style. I have never figures out how I'm supposed to use these when my wheels have quick release levers on them.

With virtually all Hungarian mass media owned by Orban and his cronies he still had to resort to straight up burning opposition votes to win.

Yeah, both companies can easily do that, it doesn't change the balance.
Sure, mistakes happen, but there are different ways to fix those mistakes. Perhaps someone in the finance department should have lost their job in order to pay for those internships.
Then you just want to complain about Greeks. Which is... your prerogative, but not very helpful?
There's lots of retro/vintage computers out there.

I find the ones that use FPGAs less interesting - I guess just because it feels like an FPGA is technologically very advanced.

Most interesting to me personally are "new/old" machines that have CPUs that are real CPUs (i.e. not FPGA) and as close as possible to the originals, Or at least spiritual successors to the originals.

For example at the moment there is a machine in development called the Agon, which uses an EZ80 CPU. Sure its not an original Z80, and yes it runs at 20Mhz to 50Mhz and has lots of features, but being a "real" CPU and being the direct descendant of the Z80, this feels more authentic".

I guess it's just personal taste. I suppose that for some people, what matters is a retro-like user experience and they care less if there is an FPGA at the core.

As I write this I realise it's a very nerdy distinction to be making.

It's a strange thing also when a "new/old" machine trumpets its speed as a feature "40x faster than the C64!". If I want fast then I'll use my desktop computer. It's the constraints on memory and speed an graphics that makes retro computers interesting.
why does this need to be an OS? Why can't it be a set of packages on top of an OS maintained by someone else?
So you have your solution ... for you: cool. The rest of us need some assistance for something that is not our expertise. We need the bollards that are put down the sides of the 10 pin lanes to hit a strike.

Not sure why you are complaining about needing a Mossie - I assume that refers to Zwave2MQTT. Zwave actually works these days in HA, thanks to a lot of work in a very short period of time. At work I have 40 odd windows with Zwave detectors and it used to be a bit hit and miss. At home I have been doing very long term trials of Zwave underfloor heating controllers. I have 10 zones of electric underfloor heating and two of them are running Heltuns (v1) at the moment - three years so far. One of them has run away madly twice ie run at high current and hot but not since a firmware update. Strangely enough one of the old controllers ran hot too after a power outage, recently (investigation ongoing).

You describe handwritten Python programs whilst complaining about YAML configs elsewhere. How do you generalise your stuff?
As naive as it may sound, start your own little health care facility, with physicians and individuals who see the problems that plague mainstream. The facility can be either be a secret or out in the sea, outside the jurisdiction of most governments. The rot in mainstream medicine (as with some other aspects of life) is so deep and entrenched that no amount of attempting to fix it by individuals (or even groups) will work.
I don't disagree completely on that. It was factored into my lifestyle. I was OK with that. We only have so much energy in our lives. Waking up each morning and being the best I could be to myself and those in my vicinity seemed a worthwhile goal. Tend to the part of the garden you can touch.
Football is apolitical? Not even close. My school had a rival school, and yelling "go [rival team]!" or even wearing the wrong color during playoffs would invite physical violence, especially after folks had a few beers. The "do we build/upgrade a stadium" question is hotly contested in every city I've lived in during such a referendum. Some people, it turns out, hate football and don't want it to be in their city. That's politics. Hell, when I grew up, even mentioning football would get you booed out of any respectable nerdspace. Thanksgiving is, depending who you ask, a celebration of genocide, try again. Are you still using JavaScript? Typescript, my friend, is the way. Does your silicon design use variable names? Politics entered the chat!

No, everything is political. If you're offended, you're welcome to not participate. Polarization sucks, yes, but pretending it doesn't exist typically means you see one side as right and the other as wrong. Not helpful.

Uhh, no? That would easily be the 808…even if you go by AKAI, where the entire series are samplers, not drum machines - by definition - the MPC 2000XL is easily the more famous/legendary unit.

What kind of blatantly incorrect clickbait headline is this?
In the U.S., yes. If they don't have enough staff on hand to specifically bag, then the cashier will bag it. Some places (Meijer, for example) will have a carousel of bags, and the cashier bags things as they are scanned. When one bag is full, it is turned so you can pick it up and put it in your cart while the cashier continues scanning and bagging. The only place I know of that won't bag your items for you is Aldi, but I'm sure there are others; it's just not common to have to bag your own items, unless in self checkout.
I bought an old Raritan KVM-over-IP for home use and it's pretty pretty good. The software is old but it's enterprise and "just works".

You just need to stick with VGA video to keep the cost down. As soon as you start going to HDMI that's when it gets expensive.
Gaming environments are more like 2.5D. There aren't many games which are fully open in 3D, because the world isn't, and humans can't fly.

The "flight" in GTA is more like a moving viewpoint than a space full of 3D objects and affordances.

Full immersive 3D navigation through code and file systems would be an interesting experiment. I suspect we'd get used to it very quickly, and we'd then wonder why we spent so long tied down by virtual paper metaphors. (I could be wrong, of course.)
Well, I don't. So it seems we're at a bit of a stalemate.
As someone with no experience in that field, why is that? Is a PCB file too low-level and would be like posting assembly/executable code instead of the source of a program?

I'd love to know if this is true. I've heard that in a VR headset, your eyes are always focused at the exact same distance, even if it appears like something is far off in the distance. And that this can lead to eyestrain. Can anybody here speak to that?
These stands are definitely my favourites. But I use a kryptonite fuhgeddaboudit d-lock and have come across some of different thicknesses which means I have to work the angles a bit if I want to lock both the wheel and frame at the same time as the d lock is quite small. It's not always possible.
There's a great video[1] on VRChat and how its current state seems to encapsulate a lot of the article's ethos but for emerging metaverse tech. I suspect that if Meta is successful with their metaverse efforts it will be a repeat of the Geocities -> Facebook transition.

There's something magically expressive about S-expressions and processing them. For a linguistic project I was thinking about how to represent sentence syntax as data and then I came across Chomsky's phrase structure analysis[1] which parses spoken language exactly like S-expressions in LISP! It's even illustrated with parenthesis or syntax trees, just like the old SICP vids explain. The phrase structure even uses recursive definitions so processing and inflecting the content of sentences can be done with recursive functions etc, (I did it in TypeScript) like something following a design exercise out of HTDP/SICP. I think the inherent parallel between human language phrase structure and S-expressions is beautiful.

I'm a bit sceptical of this comment.

I've probably shown mine to ~30 people and not a single one had motion sickness with any of the "safe" experiences, assuming the device is adjusted properly (IPD). If you stick them on a roller-coaster or a super laggy app as their first experience then yeah that's going to be a problem. But for safe experiences - I think there is a percentage of people who experience disorientation or nausea but it's certainly not half (maybe 10% or so).
Thanks! Reading up on "transistor pitch" filled in a lot of blanks for me.
