An Apple II emulator, such as AppleWin (free, Windows) or Virtual][ ($, MacOS), that supports the Microsoft SoftCard will let you run CP/M software. Microsoft's COBOL compiler is easily available from various Apple and CP/M archives. CP/M itself is a little bit of a learning curve, but at least most everything is free, depending on your platform. There are probably Linux options as well for Apple emulation.

It might be worthwhile to take a look at dribbble. If you haven't heard of it before, it's like a social network for designers to showcase their latest design work. There are some incredible designers on there with fantastic work, specifically around website/UI/etc.

Particularly useful to you might be their hiring section [1]: designers can opt to mark themselves as available for work. I know of a few designers who've been hired through dribbble and it seems to work well. Also, the person hiring can see the kind of design work they tend to produce.

What implications does this have on churning?
I think we should be anticipating 1-3 years in the future when much more comfortable VR/AR glasses come out. Then the question for knowledge work will start to change from "do they require physical presence?" to "what type of virtual presence is required?".

Because the details of interactions matter a lot and it's also important for companies to have firm policies. The most basic one being that you communicate effectively, appropriately using the tools available.

Within say 1-4 years, we should expect VR/AR to become much more like physical attendance. There will be 3D realistic rendering of faces, eye tracking and eye contact, 3d positional audio, and as I said, much more comfortable gear unlike the sweaty huge headsets.

So it's actually going to turn into a new battle to avoid bosses breathing down your _virtual_ neck. What the conversation should be is about the full range of types of presence and synchronous or asynchronous collaboration and work product distribution.

I think we will end up with more effective management and organizations because of a greater range of possible arrangements and more pressure towards actually measuring effectiveness based on work product. Managers that aren't qualified to judge intermediary work products will be eliminated or at least less common.

But we will see a lot of the types of office interactions that were supposedly only available in person start to become common in remote work using AR/VR.
Could you clarify that for me? You think that a convicted rapist/child molester/pervert, who has committed a crime (> 12 percent being repeat offenders [1]), is less dangerous than someone who has a gun, 24% being women [2], who has not committed a crime?

As someone who's had both a Secret of Monkey Island-themed mobile wallpaper and ringtone at various points in recent years and still plays the first two games every five years or so - where the graphics are concerned I'm in the "Well, they're nothing like the original, but I quite like them"-camp. I think they're probably much more suited to a modern form of game versus a 'find the exact random pixel to solve the puzzle' mechanic. Obvs I'd want more of the same from the first outing, but I'm not Ron Gilbert, so I don't get that say.

But, if I do have a complaint based on the video.. it's Guybrush's voice. I know Threepwood's supposed to be a slightly limp, out of place character, but that voice to me sounds like some average contemporary Joe from downtown Boise, Idaho* with absolutely no historical, Caribbean/Pirate bent or jolly character to it.

That said, unless it's an absolute stinker (like some of the later episodes were), I'll be buying it.

The soundtrack sounds amazing, and I'm going to have the Main Theme stuck in my head as an ohrwurm for the next few days. Again.

idk it sounds like a good research problem.

Maybe you could get partway there with a tone and object-property analysis which detects contrasting tones next to each other. e.g. in the latter example, referencing a disgusting food and saying it’s delicious. especially if the tone is exaggerated, e.g. “[person] seems like a real-life Romeo” (probably sarcastic) vs “[person] seems like he’d be nice” (probably real); “I’m sure everyone will love [controversial proposal]” vs “[controversial proposal] has its flaws, but I still think it’s better than the alternatives”.

Of course considering how many real people fail to detect sarcasm or say things unironically, it will never be 100%. But generally something is sarcastic when it is ridiculous and obviously false, so obvious that you don’t really need much logic or understanding to see, and you can just infer by the phrasing.
I often keep my video off, but there are a few cases where I make sure I am presentable, and have my video on:
1. Meeting someone online for the 1st time. I have a video on to create more of a human connection.
2. When asking for help. I don't want to be a faceless entity asking for help, I feel that if the other person can see me, they are more likely to provide assistance.
3. When there is a conflict. Similar to 2, I feel that it's easier to resolve disagreements when looking at even just a face on a video as compared with a faceless voice.

It might be that I am in a strategy team as opposed to engineering, so I have to collaborate and discuss items with members from other teams almost every meeting, and therefore relationships are much more important.
Oh nice I'll check it out some time then.
It looks pretty much exactly like those. Was originally hoping for a design which follows Curse of the Monkey Island, but we're getting this. IMO Curse had one of the most beautiful graphic design ever.
Sorry about that. Clearly deciding to write git myself instead of fixing the problems with all cross-compilation was a terrible idea.

I've now reverted back to libgit2, since I don't need to access it via Dart -> Flutter Message -> Android -> NDK -> custom C wrapper -> libgit2.
I'll do that. The whole promise chaining thing seems very awkward to me, and I stopped investigating promise-based solutions because I was under the impression that "everybody" preferred promise chaining to async/await. Maybe that's exactly the reason I might prefer async/await ;-)

Symapthy, is more like it. Theyve been convinced by the cloud rental services that it's different now and too hard, when it's really not because all that SaaS is still running on a webserver. There's just a new gate keeper with a huge marketing budget that charges by the minute now.

Someone making $40K/year is going to be HEAVILY incentivized by a higher salary. Someone making $400K less so.

There are plenty of people here on HN that have made enough money that they could take a 50% pay cut and not have a significant change of lifestyle. These ones are pretty unlikely to salivate over a job offer with a higher salary.
Glocks have matching serial numbers on the plate, on the slide, and on the barrel. Getting the ones off the hardened steel is very hard to do, and most idiots trying to remove the one from the barrel are going to screw up the action.

Also just scratching the surface smooth is not enough, and most people screw that up. The stamping leaves strain marks in the metal under the surface, and these can be recovered from a completely smoothed surface.

For example https://www.horiba.com/int/science-in-action/raman-breakthro... and https://digitalcommons.wku.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2...

These are just the tip of the iceberg for recovery techniques.

Why do you assume it hasn't? If I try to purchase premium on PornHub[1], it ONLY shows cryptocurrency as an option, and says: "Unfortunately we are unable to accept credit cards at this moment"

(Maybe in other regions it's different)

And I'm sure almost all porn websites accept crypto.

Also 4chan pass[2], can ONLY be purchased with crypto as well.

The book "How to Build a Car" by Adrian Newey is a fun and fascinating read.
The site I linked originally has a whitepaper on the economics of the business and thinks it should end up cheaper than conventional fossil fuel drilling. I'm not familiar with bio derived hydrocarbons other than ethanol, but that doesn't seem all that promising from anything I've heard about. The founder left his job as a NASA software engineer to start it up, so he's probably not a dummy. He could certainly be wrong though.

My parents dealt with this - people came in when they were on vacation and clear cut about 3 acres of land in a remote part of their property. Probably for firewood.
To be honest, I expect this to become even more of a thing. With the erosion of Roe v Wade and the supreme court signaling that it's deciding to pull back on any rights to privacy, blue states will fight back by adopting the same measures that were used to curtail abortion against gun owners. Texas provides an excellent blueprint for a way you can do so without violating someone's rights, and the court even signed off on it.

Nothing in the constitution signals you have a right to privacy as so decreed the court, so while you may have a right to own guns it can be made as public as the state wants with no recourse. In this scenario it's more pure incompetence, but that's the way I see it going down.
BTW why do people fear the spike protein of the vaccines but not the spike protein of the virus?

That and the last lap ruling race director to allow some cars to unlap themselves and not others, which is something that never happens. Either all cars unlap themselves or no one does. The upshot was Red Bull was put into a position to win by the Race Director after not being able to match Hamilton’s pace all day.

I take nothing away from Adrian Newey, he designs fast well balanced cars; nor do I take anything away from Max Verstappen, he is a phenomenal driver, it was just a poor decision by the F1 race director.

I think Newey didn’t have the engine to match his aero designs for the Mercedes dominated years. Mercedes won on having the best engine and a chassis designed to maximize that advantage and no team really had an answer to that until their engine tech caught up a bit.
Check them out for right left bias. Are they mentioning getting drugs cheaper from Canada or otherwise by mail? Or insulin? These are the previous two items that have been discussed at length.
Yes, unless that exact string appears, there is no basis for complaint, and no demonization is taking place.
(Edit: See reply. Counterintuitively, a purchaser intending to gift a firearm is the transferee as far as Form 4473 is concerned.)

> Ironically, if you take someone shopping to buy them a gun as a gift, by law you're the one that's supposed to have the background check run - not the recipient.

That is contrary to what is on ATF Form 4473 [0]. Form 4473, question 21.a., asks if the purchaser is the actual transferee of the firearm. The form makes it very clear that it is a crime to answer "yes" if the buyer is purchasing the firearm to transfer to another person.

Certainly not optical spying, it's not big enough because of diffraction limits. The old NRO telescopes are basically Hubbles that point down, so they have a mirror about 2 metres across and probably a resolution somewhat better than Hubble (30cm on the surface).

They even donated the chassis of some[1] to NASA once they were thoroughly obsolete. Imagine what the new ones can do if a Hubble-alike was such old hat it didn't even need to be secret.

Also imagine if we'd been able to put a fleet of Hubbles out there rather than just one!

Obsidian, despite not being open source, has been my favorite cross-platform, organizable Markdown editor. It's easily synchronized with git, which gives it so much potential.

The next biggest wish I have is for inclusion and management of binary files. Photos, videos, etc. It'd be nice for them to not be in the git repo, but to still be distributed, addressable, annotatable, and with some kind of cross-platform UI (Linux, Windows, Mobile, Web).

Even better if it's easy to automate workflows to publish to a public personal wiki / blog / website.
The crane and block thing, by Energy Vault, is an obvious investment scam, already displaced by an equally impractical "hi-rise condo for blocks, with elevators". Probably they will pivot again to something harder to conclusively demonstrate is stupid, such as one with an orbital component. E.g., "Loft mirrors to reflect and focus sunlight onto solar farms at night".

The mine shaft things are not obvious losers, but suffer by inability to re-use the expensive part for multiple mineshafts. There are undersea methods that do better, sharing the expensive, onshore equipment among as many simple undersea units as you like.

The scheme described in TFA has the advantage that the tankage needed for an unlimited amount of storage is cheap, with only the total wattage rate in and out limited by initial investment. Tankage underground (e.g. in salt domes) could store the CO2 and the heat in the same place, without losses; earth is excellent insulator. They specifically say in TFA they are storing the heat of compression by pumping it into iron.

The Chilean project storing energy in liquified nitrogen is similar. They also say they are banking heat, even though boiling the nitrogen with ambient air on the way out, in a "warming tower", seems to me more practical.

75% round-trip efficiency is absolutely fine. Pumped hydro is not better, that way.

There is an unfortunate habit in the energy sector of promoting ideas in absurdly expensive form, just because that makes it look more "hi-tech", to be taken more seriously by investors attuned to look for that. The form of each idea actually built and used by utilities will be whichever form is cheapest, which will seem too boring for the press to pay it any attention.
This was my alter ego. Someone purposefully tagged my legal name on the Stallman petition, as a passive aggressive way to induce harassment.

I had switched my old username, a pormanteau of my first and last name, to "dontbenebby" for a trip to Defcon, intending to get a new job and for it to be a bit of a joke - oh look, I started tweeting like a guest on Chapo Trap House for the weekend when my followers were mostly a mix of academics and/or K Street Bluechecks, not like, my actual friends.

It was quite the wild ride, and to this day I'm kind of passive aggressively doing a purposeful context collapse because I'm angry folks did not respect the spirit of that username switch, which I did to protect some very vulnerable people around the same time I deleted my Facebook + Instagram and did some other things I won't detail here to cloud my digital trail.

If I knew how people would abuse the spirit of that gesture... I wouldn't have ever done the things I did between now and then. I'd have gotten on a plane to Thailand or something and spent the Trump administration on a beach.

Exactly, those judges were determined to stop abortions, it didn't matter how strong or weak the legal arguments of RvW were, or whether or not the legislature codified it in law or not. They would have jumped through any number of legal hoops to stop people from getting abortions.
I'd love to see "sync with git" become a standard app feature.

>If you’re inclined to doubt every election, did Trump win in 2016 by fraud too? Bush in 2000? Their margins were very tight and they lost the popular vote.

It's impossible for me say, unfortunately, because of our black-box elections carried out (mostly) on electronic voting machines that don't allow for real audits and, for the most part, don't have complete paper trails. In my opinion it is absurd to have confidence in any process that is not completely transparent.

Ask people if they want gun laws enforced, and they say yes. Ask people if they like it when prosecutors charge a guy with 30 crimes for committing one act of armed robbery, and many start singing a different tune.
The AR-15 is basically a gun version of legos. You can buy one AR-15 lower receiver (which counts as the gun) and then just swap out uppers depending on what you're hunting.
