Any educational institution will inculcate its students with a way of thinking with regard to politics, and with regard to everything else, for that matter. Apparently you happen to have been indoctrinated into the prevailing ideology of political Liberalism, which holds that Church and State should have no public interaction whatsoever. It's naive to think you can get through an educational institution without receiving something like this - the question is whether what you've learned is true. There's nothing unusual about a Catholic institution teaching that Catholicism is true - why else would it profess to be Catholic?

Correct but this is a different phenomenon. You are talking about post hoc justification for your behavior, where your brain is very good at making up stories that have nothing to do with the original motivation.

I believe GP is referring to the fact that the true aim of much of this legislation had nothing to do with protecting kids from the beginning. They use that rhetoric because it's easy to get people on board and much more difficult to explain the real world implications for security.

David S. Touretzky, Common Lisp: A Gentle Introduction to Symbolic Computation.

It's the most beginner-friendly Common Lisp textbook but it might be worth it even for a seasoned programmer of other languages just for how nicely it explains lisp-specific concepts and constructs.

The first edition is available for free: https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/LispBook/
You mentioned electron so I suspect you're interested in games playable via browser, in that case these two come to my mind in the javascript/typescript ecosystem:

- https://boardgame.io/

- https://www.colyseus.io/
The base game is very very sparse compared to newer offerings like XPlane or MSFS.

Due to its long history of development it has some of the most well received third party aircraft add-ons, but be warned, these will cost more than the sim itself.

If you want a video game, you should get the new MSFS. If you want something more realistic you should get P3D + third party aircraft for airliners or XPlane for GA aircraft (+ setup ortho scenery for XPlane), but much of the ecosystem is slowly releasing MSFS ports too.

I am a little worried for what will happen to hobbyist flight sims after MSFS though. A large part of its appeal is the bing maps powered streaming of good terrain and other map features, and I suspect Microsoft won't maintain that forever. If they lose interest for a similar length as between FSX and Microsoft Flight or between Microsoft Flight and MSFS, that could be a bad time for the flight sim world if they've gotten too used to MSFS.

---

If you do get into the P3D third party ecosystem, be warned that many of the developers are older hobbyists turned devs which have been in their own universe and so can have weird ideas from time to time. Like a support system that is a public forum where you must manually sign your real name at the end of each post or get banned (PMDG), or uploading the chrome username/password DB of suspected hackers based on a check for username (FlightSimLabs).

Those are games that can be used for training. Prepar is a military and civilian training tool that can be used (against its license terms) for gaming. It’s the only direct to consumer product that Lockheed has - so it’s basically their military trainer that they’ve been nice enough to make available to us. The motivation behind this was probably for the dev ecosystem it would bring. The non-entertainment term in the license is a legacy from their deal with MS when they bought it.

I think the difference is that Go is less active than Rust.

It might turn out to be a bad idea. But at this point, gcc needs to try something to stay relevant. This is the first piece of news about gcc that made me go "whoa" in the last couple years.

Barry I’m just being honest. If you don’t change your behavior you can expect more of the same. Whether it’s being downvoted or being accused of being a jerk, I can see there is something about this that bothers you.

Here's a 1978 Apple ][ Manual. I'd never seen this one before. It contains some hand-written material:

Here's a 19879 manual. This is closer to the manual that came with my Apple ][

https://archive.org/details/apple2_manual_a2rm/mode/thumb

I vaguely recall mine having some hand-written corrections to the assembly listings but I don't see any.

The Apple ][ Documentation project has the same manual but w/o an altered title page:

Why should there be only two categories of developer? Most trades have at least apprentice, journeyman, and master.
New grads with no offers still try, but their only alternative is "I say no and keep looking." Twitter's board's alternative is "I say no and get sued by shareholders." Negotiation only works if you can walk away, and it's not uncommon in business deals to accept the first offer if it is generous enough.
I personally think lichess analysis is better :

- latest engine, with webassembly or cloud mode
- "learn from your mistakes" mode where when there is a drop in valuation of the position, you're given the position and are asked to find a better move ; you can also find bad moves from the opponent which is interesting to help spot mistakes faster

Also puzzles are great if you have an account (free), I find the puzzles of great quality, they really match your level and once you get better at solving the common tactics, they look more and more like small studies where you might only get positionnal advantage sometimes (instead of the classic "win material / mate in X moves" type of problem which is a bit redundant after a while).

I don't know how they generate puzzles but it seems that a lot of them are from games actually played on the site where only one line seems to give an advantage. I think it's amazing that they do that. High quality puzzles from real games.

This is outside the scope of the "studio canal" movies. But you're correct. And if I'm being frank (and probably being a bit of an ass too), there's no inherent right to view this content.

Personally, I view this the same way I do AAA games. There's so many good games out there without all the BS of modern (read: greedy) AAA games that I don't feel the least bit of need to play them. I pay for good games, and I get to play good games.

Don't let FOMO around shows and movies that companies don't want to make available in a reasonable manner control your watching habits. Pick other (often better, even if not as shiny) entertainment, and support those creators.

Which is something a lot of people said was going to happen. Unless companies/teams put structures in place to synchronize in-person work, the natural outcome will be that people who would rather come into an office if their teammates and others are there will quickly conclude that it's never going to be like pre-pandemic--and they'll increasingly norm just staying home. There is some subset who really do want to be in another place for work and they may be fine coming in even if it's subdued and most people they work with aren't there. But, at that point, it almost might as well be a co-working space.
Uhoh. Author of the post here. You know, when a post leaves its target audience, it can really make all the difference, huh? Last week I had a post on HN's frontpage and it was aimed at a general audience, it was an introductory topic (an intro to Scheme, without assumptions of involvement in that community). This time it's a post of mine I wrote off the cuff talking to a specific audience about a specific topic (specifically, me musing out loud about a project that would be interesting to the Guile community, to the Guile community). And that's fairly reflective in the replies here.

- Common Lisp is the only real lisp and anyone who's not using it reinvented it badly? Check.

- Questioning what is "systems programming" and yes I actually already did that in the post itself, it's a large portion of the post's text? Check.

- "It really ought to be in Rust because Rust is awesome?" Check.

The point of this post is, to the Guile community, "This would be an interesting thing for us to explore, here's what I've been loosely thinking about exploring it... what do you think? Anyone else excited to talk about this with me?" (It turns out, within that community: yes.) It's not hating on Common Lisp, it's not saying that existing lisps aren't already "systems languages" (I agreed on that in the post), and no I'm not aiming for this to be Rust because we have Rust and you can use Rust and that's cool!

And the other point of the post is: this is a hilarious name, "Guile Steel"... "Guile" + "Guy L. Steele" + "close to the metal". And also, PreScheme is a pretty cool thing that's been underexplored outside of Scheme48 and hey maybe we should think about whether that's a cool direction we should modernize on!

So anyway, if you feel annoyed because this isn't targeting Your Favorite Thing, that's cool... it isn't! You're super welcome to read the post, just know who the audience is, following the above. :)

Looks like quarterly ARPU is about $12 per US user per month. So a $5 a month subscription would destroy their business model. However go back 6 years and $5 a month was what they were bringing in from ads, and Facebook wasn't exactly suffering as a business 6 years ago.

In Europe, ARPU is just $6 per month right now, though I'd presume UK is higher, since EU is very diverse in terms of country economies.

Of course most people would leave Facebook if it was $5 a month.

the sentiment in Europe varies wildly by country. Baltics and Poland are firmly in the hawksish camp, since they have a traditional enmity for Russia.

Some like Hungary are Putin puppets.

Other countries have a strong no-war culture, e.g. in Germany and Italy the sentiment is more split.

Additionally, countries such as Italy or France have historically harboured a sizeable amount of people who dislike NATO and the US, so they naturally flock to the "this is a colonial war by the US" camp.

If anything, it's surprising the EU has reacted in such a coordinated way.
It looks like a product design "feature" - they sell a "pro" version that works with their $600 base station to upload data to their cloud service.

It happened because they assumed that high demand and gas plants being offline, would be independent events. It turns out if it's very cold people use a lot of power to heat their homes and gas plants can develop issues due to the cold.

The Price of Not Buying Twitter (Matt Levine)
>At this point, we are 100% focused on assisting miners in their exit from GPU mining, temporarily or permanently. No matter the size or location of your farm, we can make a buyout offer

Just to be clear for those who weren't paying attention, all this panic being pushed is because they want to buy out other miners. Eth is clearly profitable enough for them to be buying in, despite their claim that this time, no really, PoS is just around the corner.

My personal guess is that PoS will probably hit some horrible exploit pretty quickly and they'll all be back to the drawing board pretty quick.
Like I said, Canadians (like most other people) are too stupid to gauge what policies/politicians are good for them. So true free markets will never happen in practice.

No. We got that because someone thought it was smart to allow a low level library haul off and make network connections behind the caller's back, then someone else thought it was smart to execute code fetched from random network hosts.
That's not intent, that's pretext. Pretext is the justification you tell people to get them to agree with your plan. Intent is the effect you actually want it to achieve, which you don't tell people. It is important to distinguish between the two. I think the intent of most laws is "Get me reelected," and that is where we need to discuss Perverse Incentives of professional politicians. Reelection pressure is clearly not working as an incentive for keeping politicians focused on the public good.
I grew up in the 90's and have nothing but warm fuzzy memories of renting a movie on Friday night and watching in the living room with my family, eating popcorn and candy.

If the goal is to prevent the ambiguous harm of "editorial effect", then I don't think it is fair to remove all platform immunity and punish the platform every time it fails to implement the correct, government-approved "editorial effect" instead of its own.

It seems like the proponents of such a rule change are being underhanded, thinking "We can't ban companies from having a political bias, so we'll say that if the company has a political bias (i.e. any editorial/content policy), it becomes liable for any libel, or scams, or threats (written in any language) that appear anywhere on its platform".

I might support a narrow form of this, though, which says that if a platform doesn't let you opt out of (legal content) filtering/re-ordering of content, then the platform has profited from you receiving messages with an unwanted bias (i.e. commercial speech), and therefore owes the user a small amount of statutory damages each time the user suffers some harm.
No, I lied! It's not sorted!

The observations of the other comments would be strange indeed, if it were. Looking back through old discussions, it turns out I'd misremembered a mix of speculating comments as fact. Most conclusively, the order is now completely different to when the page was discussed last month:

Written, it's obvious. But "dessert" is pronounced very differently in French and English (according to automatic translation). The "rt" don't seem to be pronounced and the "e" right before that is the other kind of "e". I would not have understood what was said to me (again, if the TTS on the automatic translation is correct).

And that's leaving out that the articles make it harder. If you don't speak French, knowing where the spaces go in uncafe isn't automatic (although written as one word it is much easier than verbally).

I recommend everyone try it before you judge the elderly lady.

Although, I may have been able to figure it out from context (end of a meal, sitting down at a coffee and desert place)

This is the "wrong result can be justified on a technicality" argument. But a wrong result is just a wrong result. How you got there is immaterial except insofar as it offers you clues on how to fix it.

Mathematica is well equipped to recognize the circumstances that produced the wrong result, and produce the right result instead.

That involves work, but Mathematica has kept a stranglehold on the product specifically in order to extract the revenue that could be used to pay for such work.

Ask HN: What is your video recording frame rate and resolution on your phone?
For frame rate, my phone (iPhone 11) has 25, 30 and 30 frames per second. For many years, I never cared to change this setting but recently I've attended some concerts and tried different frame rates and resolutions. I decided to go with 60 FPS and 1080p (I don't have any 4K devices). However since the switch I think it's taking longer to send videos to others.

I am trying to find the optimal setting in terms of quality, storage space and sharing with others.

To be fair, people asking you to justify your estimates aren't disrespectful. Realistically, you should be able to provide justification otherwise, your estimation is most likely flawed. And people wanting to have a better understanding of what is going on isn't necessarily a bad thing. Just like you would ask your joiner why it's going to cost X and take Y days, you want to have a good understanding of what is happening and to be informed.
I heard somewhere it can be counterproductive to learn stick and rudder skills in sim, that sim time is better spent learning how to use instruments, automation, fly complex procedures like DME arc, etc. So maybe the fidelity of aircraft system models (vs aerodynamics) is also really important?
