> Look at what happened with the twitchcon party thing with the open cups of alcohol and a bunch of people got drugged. Now that was just bad party planning as well, but for random attendees, I get it - they didn't know that some of the cups were spiked.

That's a good example. What degree of responsibility do the innocent attendees of that twitchcon have for the misconduct that happened there? I'm not familiar with the whole story, but if it was a big thing I'm guess most weren't aware of it. It's interesting to consider how culpable, if at all, the attendees and influencers at the event were, as well as those who reported on it afterwards.

> Fair enough, but this is almost like someone saying they got married on 9/11 and that is why they had a great day so it wasn't as bad as people remember? It doesn't seem related at all if you weren't there.

For one I don't think the author ever said it "wasn't as bad as people remember". He's not making an effort to discount anybody's negative experience. He's just saying that it was indeed a bit of a shitshow and yet his 17 year old self still had a memorable and overall good time. And I think he acknowledges his own blindness to the really bad things that he learned later had happened, but he doesn't seem to take any blame upon himself for it, which to me is reasonable.

How about this example: I was at an occupy wall street protest where I learned later a lot of criminal activity was suspected to have occurred. Let's say I still see it as an overall positive experience and I don't regret having attended. Is that similar to where the author stands w.r.t. Woodstock `99?
Perhaps the old advice (“never roll your own crypto”) should be reevaluated? If you’re creative enough, you could combine and apply existing algorithms in such ways that it would be very difficult to decrypt? Think 500 programmatic combinations (steps) of encryption applying different algorithms. Content encrypted in this way would require knowledge of the encryption sequence in order to execute the required steps in reverse. No amount of brute force could help here…
"Roll your own crypto" typically refers to making your own algorithm or implementation of an algorithm not choosing the algorithm.
The C64's BASIC V2 had no graphics or sound commands, which was a massive draw-back on the one hand; on the other hand, it pushed lots of teenagers into learning machine code.

For lack of an assembler, the initial way to use it was to hand-compute the op codes and put them into BASIC's "Data" directives, which you could read in a loop and store in some free area using POKE and then call from BASIC with the SYS command. One wrong number and the whole thing hangs, reset, type it all in again or load from a music cassette if you were lucky and had stored a recent version on tape (which took many minutes to read back in whilst giving various beeping sounds).

Theft isn't people coming together for the purpose of aligning incentives so as to share information with each other while remaining rational. This has far more in common with Truth than it does with Theft. First and foremost, because it was by agreement that they entered into the arrangement - none were forced. Second and also motivating it, because losses are taken in hope: that a better understanding of the underlying conditions is obtained by the whole of the community which is of benefit to even the losing participant.
Yes, it's unethical but it's a common business revenue model that many companies employ. Some companies will give a free x months of service with the hope that people will forget to cancel. That's why most companies that do this will require a credit card to sign-up.

Unethical does not always mean illegal so many people will just do it and hope the consequences are small.

I am using a Thinkpad X220 as a main driver. Actually, this is my second one: an i7. I broke the motherboard of the first one (an i5) a few years ago and bought a replacement laptop. But during the pandemic I repaired the first one, so now I have a backup. Not bad for an 11-year-old machine.

My point was tha an album with DSD (only) is so rare that asking about a comparison to album without DSD is a little strange. Almost all albums are produced with digital technology that is not DSD, even the ones that include DSD.

There were almost as many computer companies back then as there are crypto currencies now.

For a mere $1595, you got a 16k computer with microsoft basic but the best part is that it comes with 2 Z80 chips. Not sure how much a Z80 chip cost but surely the user would prefer an extra 8k or whatever. Best part is that you get to learn how the computer works by building it.

You can see why user testing is so important.

I'm not in data science but have been using Julia for about 2 years. I write almost all my personal code in Julia, and one of the biggest roadblocks for me is surfacing my code as a Web GUI.

Cool! I just learned about this editor randomly about a week ago [1], then mentioned it on the thread about Double Commander the other day, a file manager also written in Lazarus [2].

I'm just about to get it to compile. I'm writing a Python version of the Bash script that downloads and installs all of the packages. It's a learning project so it's pretty messy but I intend to clean it up and submit it to the developers at some point.

CudaText is nice, I'm using it to write this compiling script to get to know it better. It's sort of SublimeText-adjacent but also its own thing. I already have a long list of things I want to replicate from my Sublime setup.

They're challenging you to be specific about the opinions.

And you really need to explain how that proves your point about twitter. In general, if someone makes a really dumb response to you, that doesn't prove you right about anything. And if your argument is "twitter has bad comments" then a bad comment on HN doesn't prove that right.
My point is about the hypocrisy all around, not about making perfect comparisons between all these situations.
I realize I used FOSS improperly, I had no reason to single it out; my comment reads like a critique of open source which was not my intention.

My intention was to make a good case for old code being compiled today by third parties.

But to my understanding intmax_t was introduced in C99, before widespread dominance of 64 bits platforms. So it would not be surprising that there exists code with lower assumptions about its size.

But actually I made also another mistake, the major problem had little to do with faulty logic and more to do with dynamic linking [0]

I will see myself out today.

In trademark law, the owner of a mark (Nvidia in the case of CUDA) can usually make someone stop using a mark if it would lead to “consumer confusion about the source of the goods” (i.e. people seeing “CudaText” and assuming it has an association with Nvidia/CUDA).

IANAL, and have no idea how likely Nvidia would be to succeed in a trademark dispute with this developer. But in situations like this, it’s often good to just not use a name if a large section of your target audience could become confused upon hearing it. Even if you didn’t know about the other product when you came up with your name, and even if it’s technically legal.

So, you think a very small Modul that communicates via http only, and written in different language then the main project (go instead of Ruby), is a reason that the developers of the main project (ruby, only supported on Linux) should also be able to work on Windows, or even be supported in doing so, cause ~three people need to support the gitlab-ci runner on windows?

Edit: oh, and testing of those gitlab-ci functionalities can easily be done in a VM.

I had some involvement with development of an air traffic management system, which was being written in Java, as that was certified for use in that field. As a language, I'd rather use C++ over Java, but if safety criticality were the priority, I'd choose Java every time.

`pandoc-sitegen` uses pandoc and mustache templating to turn a bunch of markdown files into a minimalist site, while still allowing for things like an automatic list of blog posts.

I was really frustrated with the complexity of most existing static site generators like Jekyll and Hugo -- it seemed like even a basic blog required an immense amount of configuration and provided tons of features I didn't need. I built this mostly for myself, but I'd love any feedback on it :)

Presumably if the fine is bigger then the delta between the current share price and what Musk offered, he'd be better off buying the company and then trying to turn around and sell it then paying the fine.

Similarly, if the fine is smaller, Twitter share-holders would be better off just forcing him to buy and forgoing the fine.

So a settlement number seems kinda hard to agree on, unless they have differing opinions on what the company is currently worth.

I'll share an anecdote here. I worked with an engineer at Meta who went from L3 (junior) to L6 (staff) in 2.5 years.

And he truly did operate at the staff level -- I know because eng levels at Meta are private. As he was climbing the ladder, people who worked with him assumed he was already a Staff Engineer, and were shocked when they realized he was 1 or 2 levels lower than that (this info would come out during perf review season).

Seniority is generally about how much people can trust you in the team, to identify blockers, provide feedback, or plan a roadmap. You can call it politics, but no one on the team would have denied that this engineer was hugely impactful. We're trying to capture these lessons + case studies in Taro.
>IBM happily went along. The history of IBM is dark.

Yes, definitely. 100% unethical.
Apple is still far behind on pro tablet game. I had an iPad Pro and it was extremely clunky to use. Multitasking is a mess with three different systems to learn [1], people resort to bizarre hacks to get the keyboard to work at different angles [2], the app ecosystem is still lacking, etc. Sure it fits some people's use cases, but you could say that about the Asus and Samsung folding screen products too. The idea that Apple always gets things right and "provides value" to the masses is absurd.

Many projects, some of them among the most successful projects in the world (Linux, PostgreSQL, Debian, others), are not on GitHub and are doing just fine. I reject the axiomatic statement that projects cannot survive outside of GitHub -- it's plainly ridiculous and trivially disproven. Thousands of successful projects do. Arguing otherwise contradicts the facts and serves only to justify the status quo.

Many people write FOSS for many different reasons. Chasing popularity is among the worst, and using GitHub is a poor way of achieving it regardless.

GitHub is not good enough. Placing all of our FOSS eggs in a proprietary basket which is incompatible with FOSS values is an absolutely foolish thing to do. The alternatives exist and are equal to the task, if not exceptional.
5% of mDAU is a false negative rate.

Totally agree. I did some Yocto work and it was really rewarding, just not monetarily rewarding. So I haven't done that work since. But it's nice to get hardware working with the correct Yocto config.
The small packet size is what is constraining BLE in the energy consumption comparison. It really wasn't meant for continuously streaming music.

When advertising every few seconds, like an Apple AirTag does, the energy usage averages about 5uA. That certainly beats the heck out of Bluetooth Classic.

They just have different use cases. Eventually BLE will add a long packet size feature and win out. Between music and firmware uploading, there are lots of use cases nowadays. Nobody wants Bluetooth Classic, it's 20+ years old and uses a whole different stack.
If the HDD has failed (but water hasn't leaked into it) there's a fair chance a specialised data recovery lab will be able to recover some of its data from the platters. For a substantial fee of course.

It is wrong to imply he is unreasonable here. NIST has been dismissive and unprofessional towards him and others in this process. They look terrible because they’re not doing their jobs.

The core i series has been around over a decade now, but the last decade has brought relatively little advancement in terms of personal computing.

Heck, it was only a few years ago I was doing Dual Core Pentium to Core2 Quad CPU upgrades on our production fleet at work. Does time really move that fast?

> I think he was buying it in good faith.

My personal theory, which more or less matches Matt Levine's theory from his Bloomberg opinion column...

Musk wanted special features on his Twitter account. He made a stink on Twitter about it, hoping to get more features as one of its most popular users. When that wasn't working, he tried to join the Board of Directors to lean heavily onto the CEO to grant special features on his Twitter account.

Upon realizing that the board position doesn't come with those kinds of benefits, Musk quit the board, bought 9% of Twitter, and tried to push these "special features on my account" proposal that way. Board still didn't budge.

Elon Musk, realizing he has to buy the company to actually get what he wants, starts to buy the company. Then the stock price collapses and its turning out to be a horrible loss. So Musk then starts to throw another tantrum to get out of this one.

------------

The benefits of this theory, is that this "story" proposed by Matt Levine makes every single decision of Elon Musk reasonable (albeit sociopathic, but reasonable and self-serving). From his tantrum in early March 2022 on Twitter, to his 9% buyout, to his flirting as a board member (and then quitting), to the eventual buyout.

It also doesn't require "4d chess thinking genius". Each decision, while reasonable, isn't really that advanced or difficult to follow individually.

Elon Musk just want special treatment on Twitter. I don't know what that "special treatment" is (maybe a bigger, bluer checkmark. Maybe guarantees on the global Twitter Timeline. Etc. etc. Something along those lines...), but special nonetheless.

And as a billionaire, Musk has a number of strategies at his disposal that you or I wouldn't have. Musk is willing to pursue those strategies because he's so rich, and its really not a big deal to his finances.

--------

It just fits so neatly to what has happened, that its the most reasonable proposal of his behavior for the past 6 months so far.
You can live well anywhere in the U.S. making $250K per year, you're just not going to make that kind of money in most places in the U.S., even if you're FAANG-class material. I live in the U.S. Midwest and if you think housing is cheap here, think again. Oh sure, it's cheaper than NYC, LA and SF - no doubt. But in my town alone modest apartments in meh, not great, neighborhoods are now renting at $1,800 per month. By "modest" I'm talking about a 600 sq/ft two-bedroom townhome with no basement. Housing? Well, houses in the neighborhoods where people are getting violently murdered on a regular basis are going for $150K. If you want to live in a neighborhood where you don't have to lock 'n' load every time you leave your front door then it's going to cost you $300K. Oh, you wanted good schools too? That'll be $500K. That's in the Midwest.

But you're right, if you make $250K per year you'd live great here. You're just not going to make that kind of money around here. The going rate for experienced, good developers around here is roughly $120K per year. Inexperienced and you're looking at $80K. Granted, that'll give you a better quality of life than you would have working at a FAANG and living on the coast, but you're not going to be living lavishly.
I think the main improvement in BLE was about security.

What does that have to do with energy usage? Well, after some initial setup BLE allows devices to wake up and send data without a lengthy and expensive cryptographic handshake.

Obviously this may not work as well if data is constantly being transmitted. This report tries to figure out approximately where that threshold is.

I wanted to say the same. Lexus, 8 years, 115000km, and (knock on wood) never even opened the bonnet. I only replaced tires.

I still have to pay the annual service, but nothing ever broke. The Lexus service takes care of filters, oil, and scheduled replacements when it's due. One of the milestones was 100000 km mark and service was a bit more expensive.

Funny because I even never had to refill the wiper fluid. They refill it with the annual service and apparently I don't use it enough to empty it before the next service.
