wow fascinating. I haven't read either nor have I been to the computer museum in the bay (I know I know ... I should like, be on the board or something)

First-hand industry and machine documentation of the pre-micro era. I've been working on a narrative recently of what I call a time-sharing crash in the early 1970s.

I'm not sure if it existed or not. The Computerworld stock picks index, using their magazines at archive.org, don't really show a modern "crash"(example: https://archive.org/details/computerworld4265unse4/page/n37/...)

I don't know if that's much to go on simply because finance worked differently in that era and was relatively crash free in the modern sense until Reagan's deregulations and 1987's black monday.

I'm not a professional economist and the computer industry was very insular at the time but looking historically there appears to be a cluster of thematic bankruptcies, mergers, acquisitions and industry departures (such as GE getting out of computers selling its division to honeywell in 1970) that I think you can coin the idea of a "time-sharing crash" somewhere in the early 1970s.

It has all the dynamics. A new adjacent industry came out right after it (microcomputers), a migration of industrial centers (this is when boston's route 128 really started taking a backseat to silicon valley) and there were firesale style selloffs in the mid-70s of timesharing systems in the backs of magazines like computerworld from aspiring smaller firms that came in on a hype but were too late.

There were industry darlings of 1968/69 that got washed up by the early 1970s. The 1960s 7 dwarves of Burroughs, UNIVAC, NCR, CDC, and Honeywell and RCA and GE gave way to the 5-player BUNCH as the last 2 left the industry in 1971. Everyone else basically left over the next 15 years as they Yahoo/Sun'd their warchest in long declines.

All signs are there for the following timeline

1970?-1973? timesharing crash

1981-1982 videogame crash*

1993?-1997? unix workstation crash

1999-2001 dotcom*

2008 - general market*

2022 - crypto*

The things with *s are settled - the unix crash is mostly settled as real, but the time-sharing crash is something I've pieced together and haven't found anyone else mentioning
This is an interesting read, i'm thinking more and more about how to play the system a little better because I feel like if you don't you are the one getting played.

In most big companies, unless you actually do something wrong or there is a hardcore metric they are monitoring you by, then it's very easy to do a fairly poor job and slip underneath the radar, because there are only a few things people see you doing, everyone else is too busy trying to deal with there own life and not get fired themselves.
One-day valuation changes like that on an already-somewhat-volatile-and-downtrending stock isn't necessarily an indicator of meaningful long-term impact, and nearly any major action a public company takes triggers shareholder lawsuit trolling.

They think that an IP address in email headers is something you can realistically track a scammer.

I explain that the IP addresses belong to third parties, that proxies can be used to access the email accounts and so on. They are really lost on the whole address metaphor, and assume that all the properties of an official residence apply to them.

Interesting enough, years ago I worked on upwork. And now, I get emails from developers in India asking if they can partner with me, use my account to get customers and then split the profits.

I have always said no, but this is another way upwork may have an impersonation problem. Using accounts with a great track record, then selling the login information to someone else to pretend to be them. Then when you hire someone, it isn't actually them.

They don't have judicial indepedence either way, it wouldn't be even possible to have it in a single-party state, so there is not much difference between whether judges or algorithms execute the will of the state. China's justice system only exist to protect the interest of the state. Power, money and connections are all greater than the law. The Chinese people don't even have a right for fair trial, the prosecutors always get what they want with a 99.9% conviction rate. The judges and lawyers only exist as a formality, evidence is only tangentially considered.
$2,995 [1] for the TT030.

In the boot screen for "Atari System V", as the manual called it, the operating system's kernel identified itself as "UniSoft UNIX (R) System V Release 4.0. [1]

Atari UNIX development stopped by the end of 1992. I feel like all this thing needed was really slick external design and a rack mount option. Many love the pizza box, but I think AIO and mini tower designs can be aesthetically superior. This machine is for all intents and purposes superior to Apple's SE/30 (in everything but max RAM) for about half or even a third of the price. But the SE/30 has that humble appliance aesthetic going for it. The TT/x design makes it appear to be modular, but it probably isn't, so, faux modular, while the SE/30 appears to not be configurable, but is very much so.

I don't think serious UNIX users would have considered either Atari System V or Apple A/UX for the home UNIX station; instead, Digital, HP, Sun, NeXT or other.

Most of those optimizations stems from Mozilla's asm.js (http://asmjs.org/), which specified those as an explicit signal. Note that if you're still supporting IE (commiserations and I wish you that you could decommission it ASAP) this will slow down you code (only in IE of course) instead of speeding it up.

> Do people use much energy during the day in winter though?

Saskatchewanian here! Your use of the word "energy" here is critical. We use a ton of _energy_ non-stop through the winter. Looking through the last year worth of statements, my wife and I used 1,794 m^2 of natural gas in Feb 2022, and 59 m^2 of natural gas in June 2022. Conversely, we seem to average about 700-800 kWh of electricity every month, but last August we used 1,456 kWh and the most recent bill had 1,159 kWh (electric air conditioning).

We use a crap load of natural gas to heat our homes throughout the winter, and that basically drops to nil during the summer (only the hot water heater). Electricity varies less, but there are huge summer spikes.

What nuclear does, from my PoV, is give us not only a road out of burning coal (ick) for our base load electricity, but also makes electric-heat-conversion a more viable proposal. While the temperatures do get cold enough sometimes that a heat pump/HRV loses its effectiveness, getting to a point where we have a COP of 3-4 using the heat pump and backing it up with resistive heating is a huge win if the electricity powering those devices isn't coming from a coal-fired plant.

Typically the coldest days are near peak darkness with clear skies and no wind.
What about modern uses of the character that specifically intended 7 eyes? Unicode needs to add a time or (worse, but probably OK) version datum to glyphs or glyph ranges, I suppose (applying it only at the document level wouldn't suffice, as in the case of quoting).

This alternative being "kick people to the curb"

Its hard to build over top of places that are already being lived in, and once you kick those people out, you have even more people that need a new place to live

That said, if you're going to kick poor people out of their homes for the sake of rich moving in, why not just have the rich people live in those homes and call it a day?

There's nothing about ECC memory in the article, which is disappointing.
I talk about public transit. I hate driving even though I do a lot of it (well not now that I work from home)

Transit can be great, but most of it is so bad nobody sane would use it. Why would you risk waiting for a bus that only comes twice an hour when your car is sitting in your driveway waiting for you? Why would you take a bus when you can walk almost as fast?

Both of those are very real problems that most transit has, and most people just ignore it.
I see. I should check again because things can change but my app is performance sensitive and when I checked last it seemed to give myself a boost since I was writing to the memory so quickly.

One of the reasons why I use MAP_GROWSDOWN is because it gives me a page guard. Your link mentions/implements a page guard. Well done

I tried my complicated app for fun removing the MAP_POPULATE flag. I get an assert because it seems like mmap didn't align the pointer to 4K. I don't need this to work I was just playing around with it

There's animal faces. Google employees have been tweeting a lot more image samples, though I don't remember if any have human faces.

That's exactly my feeling. I still like the ICE for a fun weekend car (not that the Model 3 isn't fun, but something lightweight with some character is nice for variety), but for anything I'm putting a lot of miles on, not having to worry about all that is fantastic.

>Theoretically yes, in practice no.

...?

1.) I have a direct disincentive to include more collateral than would be absolutely required.

2.) Most of the time LN's only need to go one way.

3.) The only thing your original graph shows is that the price of bitcoin has fallen.

4.) I anecedotely know there has been more use in LN among all my crypto friends and in South/ central America where i have seen increased use in Cafe's and hotels.

5.) The total amount of BTC being used as collateral in LN has grown. (Even though this means absolutely nothing and your graph of 'TVL' Also means nothing when compared is USD).

6.) It's annoying to see someone spitting FUD on BTC/ LN with ETH in their name.
Don't forget function templates! D can do them, too, but we strongly discourage their use. The trouble is that people use them to create DSLs that are indistinguishable from C++ code. For example:

#include <boost/spirit.hpp>
using namespace boost;
int main() {
spirit::rule<> group, fact, term, expr;
group = '(' >> expr >> ')';
fact = spirit::int_p | group;
term = fact >> *(('*' >> fact) | ('/' >> fact));
expr = term >> *(('+' >> term) | ('-' >> term));
assert( spirit::parse("2*(3+4)", expr).full );
assert( ! spirit::parse("2*(3+4", expr).full );
}

Someone's feeling of safety/nervousness has more to do with a variety of different variables that are unique to them, the place in question, and the situation they're in.

Personally, I'd rather be alone on foot in NYC than alone on foot in some small town where I'd stand out. Maybe because I grew up in a city and have traveled to many places, maybe because of my characteristics that make me feel vulnerable when I'm the outsider in a less diverse area, or maybe because I've lived in a city far more violent than NYC- so for me the things I visit for are worth the possible risk of crime.

NYC isn't even on the top 50 most violent cities in the world, which is quite a feat when you consider how things used to be there in the 80s/90s.
> However, there's a lot of forensic evidence suggesting that they farmed the edit out to more than one person (which would explain the inconsistent apparent level of skill and care).

I'm sorry about your experience.

But you might be interested in knowing that that phenomenon goes way back -- a lot of the "old masters" paintings were done by apprentice artists working under some level of supervision from the "named" painters. And I'm talking about really famous painters like Rembrandt or Reubens.

Also quite a few of the most prolific contemporary mass market authors have "assistants.
The implication is that because this rule is from 1992 (which I guess is considered ancient history), arguing that it should be implied here is essentially saying that central banking was solved in 1992. It's a bad argument.

pledge() wasn't intended for our awesome sandboxing tool? Well that just goes to show how brilliant the OpenBSD developers are, that folks like myself are finding great uses for their ideas and design that they didn't intend. We might not be able to live up to OpenBSD's model given the way Linux is, but I do believe we're going to have a better and more secure Linux thanks to the influence of OpenBSD.

It's also pretty easy to do, actually. The not being an asshole part, anyways.
Well, it's the classic "We don't need support until we need support" perspective from the CFO or CIO or whomever that's looking to cut costs. I've had clients who always had some excuse for why their mission-critical production box still couldn't justify the cost of a proper RHEL license ("No! If build my PROD box on RHEL, then my DR box will have to be RHEL, and my Test box will have to be RHEL! So you see it's really three licenses I'd have to buy!") and always insisted on CentOS. But despite needing everything to work correctly 100% of the time and mandating several levels of redundancy, they were curiously okay with being up the creek if they ran into an OS problem. Go figure.

FWIW, clients I dealt with were universally thrilled with RedHat support, the ones who had it. I had one tell me over the phone once, "Oh yeah! Red Hat is amazing! If an issue gets assigned to an engineer, it will be resolved by that same engineer. Unlike you guys."
Not really, but it furthers my point about natural language being imprecise. Even the grammatical rules are ambiguous and frequently broken.

It's as they say: Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana.
The point is to take carbon out of the cycle. Not mining petroleum would of course have the same effect but good luck getting people to do that.
Again, you're getting too deep where you don't need to be. You say "if art becomes a product" while I'm showing you examples from 500 years ago where people were paid to create some of the most famous pieces of art in history.

You're tapping into a single category of art -- art that is critical of society -- as if that's the only purpose of art.

The purpose of and the person who commissioned the piece of art is just part of the context and history of the piece. It says nothing of its impact and importance.

I think solving an "easy" problem is a good step on the way to a hard one, as long as the tool is set up to allow you to get out of a local maximum. Clearly there are locations where self driving is a smaller problem space than others, and I don't think it's bad to solve for those locations first.

I don't think it would be a fail if self driving cars were able to only operate in sunny locations with good roads. The caveat is that the outcome shouldn't just be a "magic" ML model that can't be modified to handle rain or potholes, it should be a set of tooling that allows you to make ML models that solve a variety of problems.

If you are in software you have to be an expert in some other domain. Sure there are a few os and compiler writers who can sit in pure software land (even they need to know some about hardware). Pretty much everything else is for some other domain and so you need to know it.
And how many games actually do that?

Also, if you really want, with Godot you can bypass the scene node system and also just use C++.
The conclusion is a bit at odds with the rest of the piece:

> And that’s interesting. When stupid people make a mistake, that’s no big deal. But when brilliant people make a mistake, it’s worth noting.

Maybe not. In the words of the author,

> maybe these are real effects being discovered, but you should at least consider the possibility that you’re chasing noise. When a striking result appears in the dataset, it’s possible that this result does not represent an enduring truth or even a pattern in the general population but rather is just an artifact of a particular small and noisy dataset.

Your NBDKIT_UNIQUE_NAME(name) cannot produce the same name twice because it doesn't take a counter as a parameter.

I don't think it's particularly relevant what your science book of the 60's says. Of course controlling fusion is a hard problem. Nobody said it was going to be easy, or if they did, they were a fool. But there's no reason to think we won't get there eventually. It might not be in my lifetime, but so what? I'm not trying to be that myopic here.

I'm reminded of something I read, I think it was in Engines of Creation[1] where the author made the following point about technological advancement (possibly paraphrased slightly due to faulty memory): "If a technological advancement isn't fundamentally impossible under the laws of physics, then the only question is when it will happen, not if it will happen."

The thing to keep in mind about that number and how small it seems... the entire province of Saskatchewan only has 1.17M people, about half of us are concentrated across two major cities (~600k people) and the rest are very sparsely distributed throughout the rest of the huge land mass. Overall, the 2016 census listed 432,620 private households through the province, so one of these reactors is providing half of our residential power. It's a huge win for us, since our base load is currently coal...
The solution of course is to build more, but it just happens that the private initiative always build under demand because it is inelastic and it's in their interest to keep the market as so.

Of course the Vienna success came from public intervention because otherwhise you'd have exactly the same situation of hundreds of other cities where rent is always a hefty amount of modal income and no matter how easy and cheap is to build it just happens those with access to capital never meet demand.

You need to build more, in many cite MUCH more, and you need vacant housing so floating population can come and go easily.

Are you sure you didn't switch it to dev channel? The last five production ChromeOS releases were on June 23, May 26, April 28, March 31, and March 3, 4 weeks apart as usual.
I was looking in those areas.

Agreed that you can find $300k houses (and cheaper). I was just surprised that the nicer areas were still pricy. I mean Indian Village, and the neighborhoods you mentioned, have some nice homes, but those neighborhoods feel like an oasis surrounded by areas that are dealing with very tough economic situations.

Again, I was just surprised at the price for places I liked. If I wanted to take a chance on a neighborhood that might turn around in the next few years I could find some deals (although a lot of those homes need a lot of work).
>We really better filters trash content.

I can see it now, "Show HN: Introducing InstaGavage, force-feed all the bullshit from your socials to this neural network and let it throw out the trash."
Sorry but this didn't really answer my question. Taking popular stances, that even you admit to agreeing with, and calling them dog whistles because some fringe group doesn't agree with it in exactly the same way as you, is really jumping the shark.

It would be one thing if that quote was some "coded" message, but this was your answer? Do you even realize how ridiculous you sound?
I fully agree. But society sends no signal that I am a problem beyond outrage when I admit it. Nobody would admonish me for being exactly the same without me mentioning it to them.
Yes, I agree there's value in decentralization. And to clarify, I don't think there are is anything unethical about offering a RHEL clone like Rocky and Alma do. I think that's a net positive for everyone, even Red Hat. My beef is more with the people that sell support which directly undermines Red Hat and ultimately hurts all eco-system users because it means less development, less QA, etc.

That said market competition in general is a good thing, and I don't doubt for a minute that Red Hat prices would be a lot higher without the competition. It's a complex equation that's impossible to calculate since the inputs are immeasurable and in many cases theoretical.
