Imagine if it was preserved as a historic model town, much like the Cultra Folk Museum, but for the 1980s instead of the 1940s. Some photos of that museum here:

It won't be long before the 1980s are as remote as the 40s were, and we wonder what life was like in a slightly more innocent time before the web and 9/11.

Also I am surprised that it hasn't featured in any 1980s films or series.
I just question how much that matters in practice. In both cases, you can theoretically replace the game you bought with a pirated copy.

All PS1 games have been archived, yes, because the method of ripping a PS1 game is consistent across every title, and the total number of games released was relatively small. That's not the case with PC games today, and I think it's virtually inevitable that a lot of indie games released exclusively on Steam will eventually be lost to time. As will many of the indie games released without DRM on itch.io—but at least any game you downloaded from itch.io will be playable forever.

You can argue cloud gaming is even worse. Maybe so, but at least it provides a lot of extra utility, since you can play on low-end devices. Steam provides automatic updates, that's kind of nice I guess, but not in the same class as running Assassin's Creed on your phone†. (Even then, I personally wouldn't pay full price for a game I can only run on someone else's servers, but I understand why someone else might.)

I don't like Steam.

† In theory. I've always found cloud gaming has too much latency for me. But in theory, if it worked perfectly—which perhaps it never will—the promise is nuts.

As I like to play games, oftentimes I frame things in RPG terms, so the way I think about self-agency is that we all have that as a stat -- some have it higher or lower depending on many factors. Things like algorithm-fed infinite scroll dopamine hit feeds (FB, Tiktok, Reddit, etc.) apply a debuff to many people's ability to exercise self-control/discipline. Some people have a high enough self-control stat -- or they have some learned technique or tools (new skills gained from experience/leveling up, if you will) -- that they can roll to resist, while others fail and are seduced by the spell of the feeds. These things do seem specially designed to short circuit our self-control, after all.

I think it takes foresight, good education, good parenting, good luck, and probably more, to set someone up to resist these products and messages. Some folks just aren't or weren't prepared for them.

Sorry if this is a silly response to your post. It's just my two cents.
Alternatively you could compile to/write for a virtual machine.
Capital ships are hardly the only, or even primary, target of submarines. Cargo shipping was, and will likely be.

Further, submarine warfare by the US against Japan during WWII was absolutely devastating to Japan's ability to supply raw materials for its own war effort. Japan was (and is) an extraordinarily capable and productive country, but, thanks to its volcanic geology, also extraordinarily limited in crucial raw materials, particularly iron and fuels (coal, oil), both of which are formed or concentrated largely through long-term biological activity.

The U.S. had become aware of these costs itself due to the earlier actions of German U-boat operations against both intracoastal and transatlantic shipping early in WWII. In March 1943 alone German U-boats sank over 100 Allied vessels, mostly cargo. One consequence of the attacks against US oil shipments was the construction of inland oil pipelines, the "Big Inch" and "Little Inch", as government projects, during the war. These remain in use AFIAU. Later, one of the first projects following establishing a beachhead in Normandy was to run an oil pipeline across the English Channel.

(Daniel Yergin's The Prize coves all of this, and I'm relying on it for specifics.)

We're familiar with the notion of coal and oil forming over hundred-million-year intervals. Most iron-ore deposits are multi-billion year old accumulations, many predating the Great Oxygenation Event.

Present long-distance transport modes (sea and air) are reliant on cheap fuels, large vehicles (both aircraft and ships become more efficient with size, within limits), and secure passage along routes. I was struck a few years ago how the development of large-scale long-distance cargo shipping largely paralleled the evolution of large-scale long-distance whale species. Both rely on the fundamental greater efficiency of long bodies moving through water ("hull speed"), the existence of widely-spaced reward (cargo/payment, food source) locations, and the ability to traverse such routes with little risk.

Human-based whale hunting absolutely annihilated whale populations, which crashed to a few percent of their pre-hunt levels. In instances in which combat regions have emperilled commercial aviation flights, airlines have acted quickly to route around such regions, even at the cost of much longer travel (and higher fuel costs).

A reintroduction of anti-shipping naval-warefare activities, and unlimited targeting of commercial aviation, would have profound effects.
The speed boost from riding a bike off a high dive would be awesome but do you try to stay on it for the fall or do you separate midair and try not to land on top in the water?

Pretty cool. Maybe there are some pop count/bit-twiddling tricks for checking divisibility with constants? Like this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/39386483/189247
I've started describing certain types of traumatic events as 'origin stories' for heroes or villains. Too many doctors have stories of getting into medicine because of a loss. We are trying to play out our childhoods over again hoping that repeating a scene enough times will somehow blot out the one they can't replay. It starts out noble and ends up sounding a lot like illusion of control (which maybe explains why some doctors are so bad at helping people with poorly understood conditions).

Even as a software developer I can see some of that in myself. Almost nobody has a story about someone dying or a loss caused by bad software driving them into the field. I love to make things. I love to feel useful - to the verge of 'mansplaining' according to some. As a kid there were times where I was made to feel like I was just in the way. Clearly that affected me. I've no illusions about that being a coincidence. Any more than I doubt that the uber-successful people didn't have a monologue in their heads at some point that went something like, "One day you'll all be sorry," Jonathan Coulton-style.

It's said nobody gets to be a billionaire without hurting a lot of people. Maybe you do it because you're a sociopath. Maybe you do it because you think it's just balancing out some equation in your head. Or maybe it started out that way and at some point you stopped policing yourself on that because it just made you feel bad about yourself, and you felt bad before you made all of these sacrifices so if you start feeling bad again what was the whole point?
same. You had a get a cohort together off platform and all agree to use it. Beautiful app, they should simply revive it, the moment for it is now
I somehow managed to preserve source and all my personal files from my very first personal PC 30 years ago until now (a religiously copied backup folder back then, now NAS with cloud backups).
I’ve looked at my first source code (Pascal and Basic). It is…. Not pretty.
Younger self thought it was cool to use the shortest possible variable names and avoid indentation or even spaces if I could. And spent an inordinate amount on building ANSI and VGA text user interfaces to brag with on the BBS programming club… the functionality was secondary to whether it looked “elite”!
My teenage son was shocked when I told him that none of the three people Kyle Rittenhouse shot were black, and didn't believe me at first until he googled it (and even google showed, on every link, that both of the people he killed and the one he wounded were white). He told his friends, and they didn't believe him until they googled it.
Every man should own a sledge hammer and a bolt cutters and some decency to do what is right. Make that shit fit in your alotted bin and be grateful for the never ending courtesy of personal trash removal.
Interesting. Would love to visit some day, possibly during a trip to northern BC.

One thought I had after looking at the pictures is that... it really doesn't look that old/historic. I live in the PNW right now and a lot of the houses and public infrastructure still look just like this! Heck, I live in a '80s house that's still in original condition just like in the pictures...
Laser defences require large energy supplies. They're an option against fixed positions, far less viable for individuals or mobile units, armoured or otherwise.
It's a very good question! There was also an Alpha port (both-endian and 64 bit). I've never seen a SPARC, POWER, MIPS or Alpha Windows registry so I don't know if hivex could decode them.
The in-article header ("Bicycle Gears: 6-speed, 7-speed, 8-speed, 9-, 10-, 11-, ...?") is more descriptive. Before opening link thought it will be about car gearboxes.
I think a lot of success in life is actually turning trauma into a motivating force. That doesn't really help to resolve the trauma, but it does create an illusion of safety you can buy into, often helping to provide a space for processing.

I struggle with just how much traumatic processing is worthwhile. Like if you accept that everyone in life was always doing the best that they could in the moments in which they hurt you or themselves, or you replay the traumatic events and see them through your adult eyes, or if you try to recontextualize them some other way, at what point do you just put down the trauma and live?

Trauma comes in waves. It never really goes away as far as I can tell, you just develop a new relationship to it.

I am reminded continually of Dune.

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

― Frank Herbert, Dune

I am continually reminded that there are deities in the South Eastern religions which have angry forms when they are unfed and benevolent forms when they are fed. The same deity can be a source of fear or a source of power depending on your relationship to it.

A concept I've thought a lot about recently is, instead of turning away from anger and fear, feeding my anger and fear until they are no longer angry gods but instead, benevolent beings who help me to contextualize my reality. I have found it is possible, at least for me, to do this without any outward expression of fear or anger, only inner acceptance that those feelings are real, valid, and not something that serves me at this time.

I'm not sure if these ramblings are helpful, but I hope you find peace on your journey, at least if that's what you're looking for <3.
Good callout, had to reread and check if this was an Opinion piece presented by thehill (it is) rather than regular reporting.
Age has nothing to do with the accuracy of the analogy, which says nothing about the temporal relationship between timsort and pdqsort.

Simply put, your security is NOT impenetrable. And I would heartily and easily say that your security is not up to NatSec minimums. And hell, they can't even keep their tools and data from leaking out.

If the 400 billion or so Lego pieces that have been produced were pulled out of the attics and garages of the world, the market would collapse over night. I have at least $2k worth of Lego in two giant tubs in my garage, collected over the years my now 20yo son was growing up. I honestly have no idea what to do with them - they're surprisingly hard to give away and I don't feel like dealing with eBay.

Sadly, I suspect most of the pieces out there are in landfills or the oceans.

Because they need that information to identify and trace tax evasion and money laundering.

Oh, since you said so, I guess it must be true. No need for the government to actually check using information.
Have a pint at the Winchester and wait for all this to blow over.
I had heard of that! I just don’t count a bug as a bad thing. Maybe the opposite. Software that has no bugs usually achieves this feat by not having any users. Timsort has tons of users, hence tons of attention, hence someone found a bug. That’s great!
The point is that it is much more land efficient for us to directly eat plants than to route the plants through animals first. Cattle use 99% of the calories we feed them for their own functioning. Only 1% actually make it into the meat that we eat.

I wasn't proposing any specific solution, just stating that eating animals does in fact contribute more CO2 than eating plants. And I have no problem with carbon taxes, in fact I'm in favor. A carbon tax could certainly cover this case if it taxes the CO2 that animals emit.
Sure you could analyse all of those things using queuing theory but with the exception of distributed systems, TCP etc. and maybe super large scale distribution (e.g. Amazon warehouses), you 100% do not need to.

What exactly is queuing theory going to tell you about managing a call centre? Why would I need to know some deep theory to be able to stick calls in a FIFO and deal them out to agents?

Are you just proud of having studied queueing theory?
It's incorrect to say it's "undefined" which means "without definition". The "problem" is that it has a "fuzzy definition", or you could rightly claim "multiple definitions", depending on the context.

But, a good definition must come after understanding, not before. And, just because something doesn't have a precise definition or understanding doesn't mean that understanding can't be improved, or even branched, in the form of a discovery, to create some new label that better fits the concept.

Until then, we have to live with something fuzzy, with the understanding that it is somewhat incorrect (which anyone familiar with biology will happily tell you). Lack of definition, which is lack of understanding, doesn't impede discovery. Lack of definition and understanding are necessary requirements for discovery.
These days I talk about my hobbies. People seem to understand those, and sometimes I understand software better because of them. Which is why I routinely dive into Work Life Balance convos here with a 'get a life' speech.
I went to FKK camps in croatia in the 80s when it was still yugoslavia - in my memory they were mostly for German/Dutch/Swiss tourists, were way more expensive than the state campsites, had much nicer amenities (toilets and showers maintained to german standard of cleanliness) and were much less crowded.

same as with covid, which is dangerous but not anymore so than many other preventable causes of death that are completely ignored instead of hyped as the end-of-the-world.

How's that supposed to work if you're modifying it in an offline image from a Linux host?
I've been coding against the Win32 API since Windows 95. While I won't argue it's perfect, it's certainly nowhere near "almost always wrong".

Anyway, where in the hivex code do you handle these non-Unicode encoded REG_SZ values?

Btw, the comment for hivex_value_multiple_strings is based on a mistaken interpretation of the documentation. There's nothing contradictory to what MoveFileEx does[1], it simply has a list with a single entry in the case of deletions, and a list with two entries in case of renames.

The REG_MULTI_SZ documentation[2] just points out, correctly, that you can't have a zero-length string within a list of other strings (ie with at least one non-empty string after it). This is of course obvious and hence redundant, but they highlight it for novice programmers.

That's less than 2 bills here (Switzerland) . Absolutely insane. Why even print cash at that point?

I doubt this brings in any more money in taxes and I would bet it's so small of an amount compared to the legal tax loopholes which the "big guys" use that it only hurts the general public than solve their tax issues.
Be careful with your wording here - the suicide of Officer Smith, at least, has been pretty unambiguously tied directly back to trauma suffered on Jan 6th. So while a police officer wasn't directly killed through physical violence on Jan 6th the actions of protestors can be fairly said to have instigated the death of a police officer.

I think the big misstatement of the media here was the unrelated natural causes death of an officer (from essentially a stroke) on January 7th - but law enforcement lives were lost due to January 6th.

Is this not the perfect (and intended) use case for VM's, Containers, "Serverless" Functions and other mechanisms that all ride on top of already booted physical hardware?

It seems to me this particular use case is a lot like wanting a forklift capable of driving highway speeds. Can it be done? Sure. But then you sacrifice a lot of what made a forklift good at it's intended job.

There is nothing to be gained from running short-lived code directly on physical servers. Today's Hypervisors are very good at not getting in the way - ie. there is little to zero performance penalty from running a VM, particularly a VM with dedicated resources.

In any event - what you desire can already be achieved, just not with your typical IBM/Dell/HP/Whatever server platforms. The things that make these computers desirable (and earn the denotation of a "server") for long-running systems are unnecessary if the goal is to boot, execute some code, shutdown, repeat. Off the shelf commodity "desktop" hardware is fully capable of booting in seconds and executing code - you just lose all the redundancy/reliability - but that's not needed under this scenario anyway.
I looooved ClarisWorks. Sometime in the early 1990s I got a call from my cousin. He was doing a shoot on location at a LensCrafters in Manhasset NY and they wanted a shot of customer info being filled out on a computer screen which then resulted in glasses being ready in ‘about an hour’. They had nothing on hand that could do that. So I packed up my Mac IIsi, brought it down to the LensCrafters on Northern Boulevard and set it up. ClarisWorks database had a feature that would flip through records one at a time. So I sat there filling in one letter at a time of a fake clients name et voila! Animated customer entry filmed off the screen. I still remember the red type on black background in serpentine font.
Ask around and be horrified as to how many people confidently think Kyle Rittenhouse shot one or more people who were

1. unarmed
2. black

(edit: I see now someone made the above point a few minutes before i finished typing my message, but I suppose that goes to show how widespread this myth is)

Conservatives get the brunt of blame for "conspiracy theories" and "disinformation" these days, and while I won't deny it doesn't happen (like it has for years), the left has just as much, if not more that I hear every day, but they never realize or take accountability for it because they have the popular narrative that runs all major corporations and the greater internet.
In nodejs you can use the vm module. And for extra layers you can run node itself in a linux namespace aka container. Inside a VPS that has selinux. On a dedicated server with no LAN access besides the gateway. In a fireproof datacenter.
He has lost the plot in general. The botched withdrawal in Afghanistan, failure to get inflation under control in the US and now his weakness has caused another war which emboldened Putin to invade and control of turning on / off the oil and gas in Europe despite the sanctions, causing energy bills and prices to sky rocket there.

And now the US is IN a recession, no matter the definition or the last minute desperate changes they made to change that. It doesn't matter since they knew it would get worse. This is all before mentioning his total incompetence in office as a president.

My whole point is, he is supposed to be much better than the last administration (as the media told everyone). In fact this tells us that he is doing even worse. So they were no better off and are worse off as a result.

This is the truth that the spin doctors, the media, etc won't tell you. If it is all going well, why are most Democrats telling him to stand down for a second term?
No? The goal posts were very clear. North Korea intentionally adding fingerprints to their users' documents is obviously not the same as compilers accidentally leaving them in.

This is really awesome. I'm sure there will be anecdotal refutations of this legislation on HN, but this is a great list of consumer rights to start with. Almost gives me a little bit of hope for a future of technology that isn't controlled by 3 or 4 companies.
