My mom subscribed to Byte, and I eagerly awaited every issue. My favorite feature was Ciarcia's Circuit Cellar but I read all of the articles. I was just learning BASIC in high school when the Smalltalk article came out. So I have to admit that I was utterly bewildered by OOP. Plus, I had no hope of actually trying to use it on any computer within my reach.

Years later, I finally got over the fear of OOP by using languages that let you kind of ease your way into it. Visual Basic was "object based" in that you could use pre-made classes, but had to buy a special version to make your own. Still, understanding the benefits of using classes was a good preparation for making them. Probably the point when I realized that I had been using OOP without knowing it, was when I started doing some moderately complicated programs in LabVIEW.
Only 9 out of 10 doctors. There's always that one in the bunch that spoils it.

Also, people get hurt at all hours of the day. For one, I'm quite happy that if I get hurt at stupid o'clock in the morning that there will also be medical staff awake at the same hour to help rather than making me wait for banker's hours before being treated.

> If they don't [feel bad about being obese], they shouldn't.

Well let's agree to disagree on this. When these obese people age a further 20 years and get health complications caused by metabolic syndrome, they will wish they could go back in time and change things or they would wish that the people around them didn't placate their desire to destroy their own bodies. Someone's current feeling, which might just be because they're misinformed or addicted or on autopilot and not thinking about it, doesn't count for everything. It's also not just a private decision when my insurance health premiums and taxation pay for the consequences of their self-destruction.
Well.. it was a good business model until they advertised it. Now, I suspect like white hat SEO it's going to be hit by accusations it's either useless, or less white hat than it wants to be.

Putting to one side how silly I think this is, intermediaries who understand some specific niche: how to fix your search placement ("yes, its that simple. But I knew it and you didn't") or how to fix your media placement ("I have the little black book. Really? you could ring them, but I have the phone numbers") or how to fix your legal problem ("Law costs money. I won't charge you a cent more than an astronomical amount, but I will try hard to keep their hands off your money") or how to fix your electrical problem ("yea, I was a Lawyer, specialising in SEO and media law, but I make better money fixing your crap wiring. This is gonna hurt")

That niche? Somebody is monetizing it right now. My thoughts, for hire, here on HN, for a low low fee...
Dependencies are generally terrible. One needs to consider whether they absolutely need something or just want to support complexity and vulnerabilities. NPM is the poster child of a giant tumbleweed of garbage no one reads and is half broken most of the time.
We were curios if electric car sharing works and went to test it.
I'm curious how you can to this conclusion. Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter were always vehicles for advertisers. I suppose it was more acceptable because it was from "influencer marketing," which was taken so far that the FTC had to step in and start fining influencers for dishonest marketing.

I guess it is different than "we are interrupting your current show for this important topic," but to be honest, I think the new style of marketing is more sinister. We can expect a TV or radio station to show ads and understand it doesn't exactly reflect the thoughts of the stations. In "influencer marketing," we are led to believe that some 16 year old really knows more about the stock market and crypto than those Wall Street guys.
yes. markdown is html as org-mode, which suitable for web content. web page normally has some add-on components, e.g. header, menu, theme, this is a try to handle them within markdown.

This is an interesting perspective and evolution I’d not considered before. And it makes me wonder if the trend of LinkedIn showing ever more personal and less professional content is because it’s the place people have turned to fill the void. It being the main remaining place where people have connections they are least have a somewhat passing personal acquaintance with rather than just a collection of performing strangers.
Because breakups are a necessary part of life, hurling racial insults at someone isn’t?

Emotional pain is in general on par with physical pain. That can be inflicted in a variety of ways and hurling racial slurs at people is unnecessary. There is no situation you should do it. It’s only purpose is to inflict pain, so it should be criminalized.
Came for this.. glad you saved me the effort. The horrible truth that Bostic's nvi was in fact a back-back-re-port out of elvis shocked me. I had believed it was the holy writ of Joy handed down to Bostic in a touching scene captured by Norman Rockwell, now hanging in the national gallery in Washington, but no. It was an attempt to re-birth back to what we wanted which was (apparently) i8n wide character support, and not much else. That said, I wish nvi had worked.

I live in vim and emacs, have been in both vi and emacs since 84. I wish I could pick one and stick. Ed is still my favourite editor. (if anyone tries to tell me you can emulate vi in emacs.. I'm going to :wq out of here)

Curse those AT&T Lawyers. Curse them. We could have had less LOC and less forkism, but for lawyers from phone-land.

PS what I wanted was 4char tab expansion. If nvi had that, I'd stop in vim pretty much now.
I always considered the moon as having a direct impact on the formation of the original super continent, Pangaea.

The moon was much closer billions of years ago, and it just always made sense to me that the gravitational pull of the moon caused the bulge that would become the large land mass of the earth. Just visually, the area of the super continent roughly matches the size of the moons cross-section.

And, when I read about the moon being our "guardian", taking on numerous asteroid hits, I always pictured Pangaea to be well protected, due to the proximity of the moon.
My guess is that your country is much smaller than US (in both population and territory) and what’s more important have strong central government with only minor powers delegated to local authorities. That’s just not US where central government is responsible for fewer things and has strong local authorities that actually responsible for most things that you encounter day to say. (though unfirtunately central gov power is creeping up)
I love how the options you're presenting keep getting worse.

> I get work is first and foremost an exchange of labour for money, and not supposed to be fun.

Perhaps the tech field just isn’t for you? I mean that sincerely - if these aren’t the kind of problems that bring meaning to you in your career, or if you need your career to give you something more than a paycheck, then maybe this just isn’t the place for you. Or, perhaps you should consider using your tech skills in the NGO / non-profit world? The money won’t be as good (probably), but perhaps you’d get greater emotional meaning from the work?
Stack Overflow has its own ads, it doesn’t appear to use Google. Why would they optimise for those clicks?
That’s odd, I don’t remember there being any advertising at all on those platforms in the early days.
To be fair you're leaving out the last part of that sentence "... so that such instrument may be used to obtain telecommunications service without authorization."
the person declaring that he supports CEOs being their complete, honest selves at work. I doubt he would say the same thing to employees, who are instructed to shut up and get to work.

Thanks for this link. I love smalltalk and had an opportunity to use a commercial implementation (Cincom Smalltalk) whilst working in biodiversity information. I found the development environment to be really productive - esp. during my self learning period. Having everything to hand in one environment/image which I could live in all day and do editing, debugging, REPL and data was compelling. Saving the whole system state in the image for the next days work was great too.
You know, I would be with you, but:

1. The versatility of Rust means I can use it for truly "the full stack". E.g., in my current side project, I'm using rust to do audio decoding, resampling, running a speech recognition model, the backend of the app, and the frontend! Though I haven't yet started on all of those components, I expect to get some major simplification in my code because of this.

2. The "modern and expressive" languages all have fatal flaws, _for me_. Swift has a poor cross platform story/community, Kotlins tooling is poor if you don't use intelliJ, ocaml has a reputation of poor documentation. I understand that not all of these things will bother people as much as they bother me, but they do bother me a lot. Tbh, I'm still on the lookout for a lang that is actually statically typed(no TS or python), has an expressive type system, a good cross platform story, good, non proprietary tooling, and is at a slightly higher abstraction level than Rust.

Dotfile synchronization is a necessary evil. At work, we have a dotfile synchronization system that contains an infrastructure-level yml file of what to save, what are history files, and what to exclude. Every time a modification is made, it saves a revision. You can have multiple dotfile environments also that completely swaps them out. On the work laptop, I have google drive saving a .dotfiles dir with symlinks into them.

I mean I can see that. I worked at a small computer repair shop and the way people would react sometimes when we managed to save their family photos or PHD thesis off of a failing disk made me feel like I was genuinely making someone's life better.
I'd recommend Vivaldi on desktop, much more user friendly than Edge, I guess their mobile offering won't be much worse as well, though never tried, since I'm happy with Kiwi browsers with extensions.
If it acted as a block device instead of a file system, you could mount it as any filesystem of your choice.
> I think he has a point there. If he did not pay for, it may be an even trade.

Not really - the cost of food for goats is fairly marginal all things considered. For this kind of service you have to account for transport, setup (usually fencing of some sort has to be put up), etc. as well as ongoing medical and shelter costs for when they aren’t working.
I know people who started their careers in lockdown and indeed, it is remarkable to have a cohort of willing workers, who have never experienced cubicle farm hell as she was made.

Initially I was very anti WFH. Now I am 61 and glad at MOST I do 2 per day in the ghost-mall which was once the office. I miss the free biscuits. My waistline doesn't.

Is anyone else bemused by going in to work, to do zoom calls with your confreres who didn't come in? Kind-of sums the experience up.

I went to my first IETF in 2years f2f, after 20 years 3 per year. It was fantastic. I am unsure the 3 corridor conversations pay back the flight cost, but it was really nice to be back face to face. in masks. testing every day. Jetlagged. hmm. I'm not selling this to myself very well.

So, Qt Company clearly states Qt is up to the task. Even they hope to make money from it :)

I would more worry about replacing mechanic/hydraulic subsystems with electronis - just in case EMP bomb in neighborhood. Or last years favourite - pilot's decisions overriding... Because it's captain/pilot/driver who should have final decision to make - nothing better invented so far and not I would not recommended to change that.

After a few years the fuel is cool enough to passively cool. At that point you just bury it underground.

The facility (Onkalo) does not need any maintenance once it has been filled up and closed as you just fill the whole thing making access to it very very hard as it is 520m under ground so a couple kilometers of tunnel to dig through to get to it. (clay sediment at the bottom where the vessels are and concrete for the pathway up)

As I said the 3.5 billion is the projected total lifetime costs of the permanent storage site Onkalo. So that is the total cost (to the best of our ability to estimate for it)

Why would you want a pinterest reupload of an image, instead of the actual source?
Here in Northern Europe they just use GPS-enabled electric collars on the goats, and do literal geofencing with that. Then you don't have any cost of setting up physical fences. Of course you have to accept that the fence position has an inaccuracy 5-6 meters, so it only makes sense for large areas where there is nothing that will kill the goat if it strays a little outside the fence.
Not really. Because the hard keys are bound to the origin website it wouldn’t matter if the attacker had been aware. It still wouldn’t have worked.
That doesn’t apply to the OP, does it?

Cognitive fatigue from work impairs decision-making
I've got three goats. They're picky, but mine have a pretty good amount of space and a variety of stuff to eat. They've each got their favorites, but crunchy dry cottonwood leaves and our dominant dandelion-alike are at the top of each list.

If you're using goats to clear land, you put more goats per space than the land can sustain, but just for a few days or weeks. The goats will eat their favorite things first, but then also other paletteable stuff. They'll also trample things down pretty good.

Last time I checked they're selling real meat from animals that lived in an absolute horror show for their short life, which came to a close in the slaughter house where they're drowned in CO2.

>>Hashpower decides the canonical chain, not the rules of the system.

No, hash power and the rules decide it. If you have invalid signatures in your blocks, it doesn't matter how much hashpower your fork has, it won't be accepted as canonical by other forks.
Abstract:

> It is well known in the cryptographic literature that the most common digital signature schemes used in practice can fail catastrophically in the presence of faults during computation. We use passive and active network measurements to analyze organically-occuring faults in billions of digital signatures generated by tens of millions of hosts. We find that a persistent rate of apparent hardware faults in unprotected implementations has resulted in compromised certificate RSA private keys for years. The faulty signatures we observed allowed us to compute private RSA keys associated with a top-10 Alexa site, several browser-trusted wildcard certificates for organizations that used a popular VPN product, and a small sporadic population of other web sites and network devices. These measurements illustrate the fragility of RSA PKCS#1v1.5 signature padding and provide insight on the risks faced by unprotected implementations on hardware at Internet scale.
One counterintuitive food storage tip is never put hot food directly in your fridge or freezer. Instead, leave it uncovered in your kitchen until it cools to room temp, then move it to your fridge.

The food will cool much faster in a well-ventilated room. A refrigerator is mostly an incubator and doesn't actually have much cooling capacity and is more designed to keep things cool, not make them cool. This will extend the shelf life of the food, prevent condensation, and also prevent other items in your fridge or freezer from warming up.

The funny thing about that optimization clusterfuck is that AMD's FOSS drivers get very close to the proprietary drivers in performance without any hacks.

Instead of millions of lines of code, the user space drivers (where optimizations happen) are more like 100k per major GPU generation (which can span like 10 years) + a few 100k shared between all Mesa drivers.
The term “regex” is already used interchangeably for both classes. The Go regular expression library (which is widely used) does not support backreferences, and is guaranteed to run in linear time.

It seems sillier to say “that’s not a regex” (since it definitely is a regular expression engine), than to say that the others are extended regular expressions or some other, more flexible thing (for better and worse).
They're rarely just jumpers, they're often fuses as well because they have a current rating. 0 Ω are sometimes uses as sacrificial fail safes when there's not a cost budget for thermal self-resetting fuses such as those used in automotive applications. And it's usually cheaper to bridge two pads with a blob of solder than maintain and source another part in the BOM.
I don't see anything "beautiful" here, it works and is performant but seems pretty average in term of readability
This is a dubious claim, since JSX is limited to expressions. If you ask people for “a conditional in JS”, they’ll very probably go for `if (…) { … } else { … }` first, not `… ? … : …` (if you can even rewrite it as a ternary). Same deal with loops: you’re limited to expressions, so you can’t use the normal way of writing a loop (and this regularly leads to mild contortions as you deal with iterables of diverse types). Therefore I’d tend to (qualifiedly) describe JSX as doing its own thing too.

It is pretty easy. For technical books, assuming you write something people are looking for (and you can write), I guess the readers can find you, at least some of the time. I haven't written that kind of book so I'll defer to people who have.

Or by "viable" did you mean "getting people to know about your book and buy it" ?

That's a bit harder. You can hire a publicist (through Reedsy, for example) and for a few thousand you can get interviews with podcasts, magazines, and radio stations. You won't be on NPR, though. A traditional publisher can really push your book through the doors to book stores and the book reviewers of the world.

It's still a lottery -- there are zillions of books being published and a lot of people just plain don't read.
That's why 0 Ω resistors have a current rating.
It's called "not stepping on a laugh".

When you land a punchline, you sweep the crowd for a few seconds. If you then start a new one before the laugh has finished, you are not just breaking the illusion of having told the joke to them - you are rudely interrupting them enjoying themselves.

Also: while laughing, the audience will miss the next feedline / lead. The joke you started during a laugh will not land well, no matter how good it might be.

I did a 6-week course early this year at the Angel Comedy. In the showcase, the joke of the show came in a young Danish-Chinese woman's set, and she played it perfectly. 25 seconds of laughter, in three rolling waves - and she had the guts to ride it through. All of us were congratulating her afterwards.

I've heard that the latest thing is that when buying a car from a dealer you have to sign over power of attorney to them. Insane.

Fortunately since they don't have dealers Tesla manages to be an exception to this power of attorney stuff; not needed or asked for, nothing even remotely close. Also they only charge $100 / year (totally optional) for LTE connectivity. And their mobile service including emergency roadside assistance is dirt cheap. Who would pay $1,500 for OnStar?
