I have a radical proposal. How about taking a drawing class which will allow your hand to express your thoughts in a better way and then scan the result? I believe that there is art in note taking and also visual communication and a skilled hand is probably still the best creative medium. Just saying, cause I am thinking of taking drawing classes for a similar reason.

Everything is slow when the goal is to just complain about things you don't understand.
Object-oriented programming has been important for like three decades now, for better or for worse, and if it's so "niche" now, what paradigm has replaced it?
The idea that statements can have the "colors flipped" and be equivalent assumes a context where there exists racial and ethnic equality, which there isn't. A white person saying "I don't want brown people to move into this neighborhood" and a brown person saying "I don't want white people to move into this neighborhood" are only equivalent if you evaluate those statements without a social and historical context.

In this example how do we think that a legacy of redlining, gentrification, and racial wealth inequality would impact the motivations of the speakers?
I'd take 'em.
Well, I was being a little flippant dismissing it as largely a complaint about things not showing up in the terminal, but it's obviously deeper than that, yes.

I think this overall situation is most acutely a lack of standard. Someone up in the nosebleed section rightly pointed out that there should be some environment variable for a config to be written to, and I agree. I also want to stress that there should be the inclusion of a single variable on top of that, that all programs should use when constructing the path to their configuration. USER_CONFIG_DIR or something equally arguable should, if unset, default to $HOME, and if set, be used as the root to construct whatever structure therein is desired, also able to be changed with an environment variable specific to that program. Be it filename or further subdirectory, first using a single reference that is /not overloaded/, like HOME, but defaults to HOME if unset.

Indeed, I don't know how dense the megascalers build, it looks less dense than what I see at work compared to the few videos that are out there.
> Mathematically the minimum number of elements necessary for a pattern is three.

An assertion about mathematics requires a definition, and I don't believe this one for the usual definition of 'pattern'. For example, if I wanted to exhibit a linear pattern, two data points would be sufficient.

(But we're not talking about mathematical constructs anyway, so it's not clear what the relevance of mathematics is.)
I confess deep ignorance, here, but: Why would miners go along with this switch, given it's going to eliminate their profits? Why wouldn't they just fork the chain and continue to run a PoW version? What would force people to switch to the new PoS version?
What do you mean originally? I never edited the og comment. I'm arriving at it because the reason I know people with chronic porn addictions at all is they've confessed how big of a problem it is for them and the issues it's caused them. If you think you know their lives better than they themselves do then go tell them that.
I’m not a parent, but I had a less-than-supportive teenagehood. I think an unconditional support of your child’s interests and growth will go a long way. Be a yes man/say no as little as you can. I imagine this kids parents provided a lot of financial support from his parents too.

If you buy a machine for less than $600, it will not smoothly browse the web. Perhaps it will have hardware acceleration for a few use cases, but in general most pages will be slow. 4 years is insane for that price, would you buy a new dishwasher every 4 years? What if I want 2 machines?
>Probably yes. And when they see that error and have more questions about it, many will Google "Zarro Boogs" and find StackOverflow links and various other sources.

The point of a help resource is that you avoid, where at all possible, making the user need other help resources.

That's not how text search works.

>As inconvenient as it is for making changes to published UI, unique and identifiable strings serve as a sort of "soft URL" in this era of ubiquitous search engines.

So do you think maybe there's a lesson in here about building a culture around being opaque to outsiders? Or do you take it as an indicator to be more opaque, lest we alienate those who like scaring off the users that the project exists to help?

I don’t have a source handy, but eventually block production will centralize and the protocol will allow a “block proposer” role which will require lower resources. The proposer will be able to force a producer to include specific transactions and if they aren’t included, the producer will be punished (via their stake being slashed).

If a centralized entity is told to include transactions by a proposer and they refuse for any reason, they will eventually lose their stake and fall out of the producer role.
Is writing X in Y lines of code having any real meaning? I'm not trying to be negative, just genuinely asking.

For example, in 1-line-of-code I can write "hello world". This hello world is physically lighting up individual pixels on my display. It's rendering the letters to be the shape "hello world" should be. It has antialiasing applied. All in 1 line of code!!!
> Well, it will make a million people unemployed if this tech is rolled out across restaurants, so it'll certainly have a large effect on society.

It won't, so many positions still remain unfilled since COVID that closures due to staff shortages/COVID outbreaks have been normalized; assuming this tech could scale to be above a certain standard (this looks like public school cafeteria food at best) all it would do is lower labour costs by putting downward pressure on current wages--which are barely at livable levels and will not yield a lower consumer cost as shortages for ingredients keep occurring.

There is no real advantage, and the threat of SV titans disrupting the Food Industry is was all smoke and mirrors.

The truth is that COVID revealed that this job (cooking) was not just grossly underpaid and undervalued for what it was, but those who were able to used the opportunity to leveraged the skills they learned to move on to a less exploitative/demanding Industry and that the tech was simply not there to do much--even Ghost Kitchens, which still rely on Human labour, have a greater chance at capturing these job losses from brick and mortars than anything else as the effective cost savings are clear (lowering overhead to it's bare essentials and offering many menus in one location).

Despite being a proponent of automation in the food industry, specifically at it's origin on the Farm, I doubt this tech will ever be a real threat and will remain a novelty at best and is at it's core just cashing in on the froth of vC money leftover from these last 2 years. You can repeat all the mistakes and losses Doordash/UberEats et al have made to gain marketshare in a captured market, but without a Softbank backing you and really only wanting a sweet IPO exit it simply doesn't seem as lucrative or feasible to disrupt anything.
"Disingenuous" was definitely an unfair characterization, and I apologize for that.

> In fact the text explicitly says that this is not the point being made.

I don't think it's fair to prime someone with a bunch of negative information, and then turn around and say "no, no! I'm not trying to prejudice your thinking at all!"

To me, I think all this context was entirely unnecessary. This article is able police excess -- or, really, legal excess. I would much rather have a discussion about whether or not the sorts of laws that lead to arrests like this are reasonable and acceptable in a free society. Instead -- and I agree that doing this is exhausting! -- we are not only muddying the waters by giving people an excuse to say "yeah, but this person deserved it because they are anti-trans", but we are going into a meta-meta discussion about whether or not someone meant to muddy the waters or not. Which, IMO, is entirely irrelevant: the waters have been muddied, and this entire subthread is a stupid waste of time, time that I regret wasting (but, given who I am, I know I will waste again sometime in the future).

To me, the point is not "this guy said some stuff that muddied the waters, but he didn't intend to muddy the waters, so it's ok". The point is that the waters have been muddied with irrelevant context, and instead of having an interesting discussion about freedom of speech, we're talking about how shitty an anti-trans group is. Which, ok, sure, this group does indeed seem pretty shitty, but I don't come to HN because I want to get into a mood where need to yet again get pissed at shitty transphobic people.

Two lawmakers ask U.S. regulator about Tesla crashes, safety probes
WASHINGTON, Aug 11 (Reuters) - Two U.S. lawmakers who chair subcommittees overseeing auto safety asked the federal auto safety regulator for a briefing on its probes into crashes involving Tesla Inc (TSLA.O)electric vehicles using Autopilot and advanced driver assistance systems, according to a letter seen by Reuters.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters and Representative Jan Schakowsky, both Democrats, said in the letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) they were concerned that "federal investigations and recent reporting have uncovered troubling safety issues" at Tesla.

The lawmakers asked "given the mounting number of fatalities involving Tesla vehicles crashing into tractor trailers ... has NHTSA considered opening a defect investigation into this issue?"

The letter added "does NHTSA strike a balance between investigative thoroughness and addressing urgent, emerging risks to motor vehicle safety?" and if the agency has enough resources to properly investigate advanced driver assistance systems.

Tesla did not immediately comment.

Since 2016, NHTSA has opened 38 special investigations of crashes involving Tesla vehicles and where advanced driver assistance systems such as Autopilot were suspected of being used. A total of 19 crash deaths have been reported in those Tesla-related investigations.

Last month, NHTSA said it opened a special investigation into the crash of a 2020 Tesla Model 3 vehicle that killed a motorcyclist in Utah.

In June, NHTSA upgraded its defect investigation into 830,000 Tesla vehicles with Autopilot involving crashes into parked emergency vehicles, a required step before it could seek a recall.

This isn't how Russia thinks though.

Russia is so full of paranoia and hubris that it considers rejection of "superiority of all things Russia" as evidence of a dire threat. As a not entirely absurd metaphor, Russian imperialism is like Fatal Attraction. Russia referred to Ukrainians as "little Russians". But upon rejecting Putanism and Russia, in favor of Ukrainian language, culture, history, and government - that is to Russia completely unacceptable. The only explanation for rejecting the superiority of Russia is corruption, i.e. Nazification.

Of course this is demented, delusional, crazy, but that's an external assessment. Russia will persist in murdering Ukrainians until Russia is stopped. Nations party to the U.N. Charter are obligated to assist under Article 2(5). And I think China and India aren't doing enough to meet this obligation they've voluntarily and formally agreed to.
The 80s were crazy. In 1981 you got a ZX81 with 1KB of RAM. In 1985 the Amiga came out.

Very good point and arguably a bigger problem. Worth putting `shopt -s dotglob` in .bashrc to avoid. How about other shells?
Multics, the predecessor to Unix, was the first OS to use a hierarchical file system. Before that, file systems were typically flat: a single long list of files.

I don't know how the original Unix was, but presumably flat.
Absolutely. I was more thinking about "was this tomato grown with pesticides? If so, which ones? What health impacts does it have?"

And if you think pesticides is a small issue, "was this chicken/cow/turkey/... loaded with antibiotics?"

Of course, as I said, eating less processed food is a very simple yet effective choice, but beyond that, it sadly seems to get very murky very fast.

Magazines like Byte and Creative Computing were perceived as ephemeral by libraries, particularly academic libraries, and were discarded quickly. My mom threw most of mine out when I went to college.

In the mid 1990s I tried to get 1979 issues of Creative Computing and couldn't find any academic libraries that could offer them for interlibrary loan.

I wondered about this for a long time as well. Exchanges, RPC providers like Infura, wallet developers, dapp websites, etc., wouldn't endorse such a fork, so it wouldn't gain adoption. It might still happen, but it would fail to capture much value, similar to Ethereum Classic.
TIL. And yes, that’s definitely a larger edge case but I would still posit that for many users who are buying into an ecosystem, Kindle is going to be the most portable. But that’s an important distinction for anyone who wants to check books out from their local library.

A n00b-level hardware question. I have an old Sony PRS-T1 e-reader with a Freescale i.MX508 SoC (32-bit Cortex-A8, ARMv7-A architecture). If I am not mistaken, this processor might be supported by NetBSD since 7.0? There is a port for the Kobo reader, which has a similar one [0, 1].

Has anybody here maybe used the Kobo-NetBSD port? How much of an effort would it be to get it booting on the Sony T1? Or would it be a definite way to brick the device for good.

I was thinking it would be awesome to have the PRS-T1 as a NetBSD-based "single textfile viewer". No wireless or other goodies, no touchscreen, just a dumb pager, scrolling up and down on a plain text document using the device's physical buttons. For starters, it could, indeed, display just one document, which would be loaded into the device via USB.

In addition to USB access, one would have to map the T1's physical buttons to scrolling commands. Later on, multi-file support could be added (woah!), via some sort of simple terminal-based menu, again navigable with the hardware buttons. The T1 has 5 buttons + power on/off + reset.

Usually, the mods for various e-readers seem to focus on hacking the original, e.g. Android-based OS into something "more complete", that is, adding features. I would rather go the opposite direction -- turn the T1 into an ultra-barebones device. For, as an avid ereader user, I've come to realize that I would actually survive quite happily with just text files. PDFs are somewhat an issue, but ebooks can be converted to plain text incredibly nicely with a text-only web browser. Unzip the epub, navigate to HTML files, convert and merge them into a single .txt via 'links -dump'. For me, images or drawings in ebooks can mostly be skipped without much of an issue.

So yeah, maybe a toaster-running OS would be a good fit for such a project? Has there been any other porting efforts, with different ereaders -- and if not, then what are the main obstacles? (I am definitely not competent, but "ARM is messy", even for BSD wizards?) I couldn't find much examples. NetBSD guys seem to prefer toasters, I guess :).

Right now we use Stripe (mostly because it's the the most rock solid choice for payments) -- we don't ask for name or email, though of course Stripe could know that as a card processor.

I'm going to bang my "software is a form of literacy" drum again.

No-code is a "solution" to illiteracy. It is (snarky example alert) like taking all the cells in all the Marvel comics, cutting them out singly and arranging them in order (punch, horror, fly) and saying "now you too can write a story"

Yeah kind of.

But what we need is not No-Code. what we need are two things - more people who learn to code, and companies that make their data and processes accessible to code.

But it's like trying to start a marketplace - you need to attract the buyers and the sellers at the same time
