> I think, make a more apposite case with calculator vs. learning arithmetic (and even if you don't agree that it is more apposite, the point can still be made!) By your logic, we should not be assigning any arithmetic problems that can be solved with a calculator.

I think that's an excellent point, and one whose nuances shouldn't be un-examined.

I guess the difference to me is that arithmetic feels more fundamental. I may be using fundamental in a weird way here, but I don't mean it in the sense of something that you build on. I mean it in the sense that arithmetic itself is the idea that's trying to be taught. Whereas a sorting algorithm has both a explanation as a semi-platonic ideal and as an implementation and they're very different things. You can fairly effectively wield the implementation only using the idea in your head, mostly regardless of your understanding of the implementation. In fact, it's generally considered good practice to hide an implementation from your eventual users.

I'm not so convinced that you could do the same with arithmetic, although I'm open to arguments to the contrary.

Now that I'm thinking about it, I think this is the dividing line between math and computing in my head. The ability to separate out the real world part from the ideal and operate the former using only the latter.

Perhaps I'm mistaken, but I would be very surprised if a mathematician could operate without understanding arithmetic, but I've seen quite competent programmers construct APIs just fine without having been taught sorting algorithms.
This is really not the gotcha you seem to think it is. One is unlikely to learn how difficult repairs on a given device are until deep into the ownership cycle and well past any return window.

A coupon is an informal term for a small sample of material, most often metal. It’s perhaps most commonly used in welding where practice welds for people first training to weld are done on pieces of metal often referred to as coupons. :)

It is usually an artifact of materials like metal which are hard to cut, and can’t efficiently just be cut as needed during a task, but are prepared and pre-cut into small pieces you can grab easily. Each of those pieces is called a coupon.

I used to store mine in a Chinese takeout container box.

> Letter: a character from the Unicode Letter category (L)

This definition is insufficient for many scripts, such as Indic scripts. My name “Chris” is written in Telugu as “క్రిస్”: letter ka, sign virama (which suppresses the inherent vowel, and also joins the next letter and vowel sign as a conjunct in this instance, as part of the same syllable—if you didn’t want that, you’d insert a ZERO-WIDTH NON-JOINER and get క్ రి [minus the space, HN turned by ZWNJ into a space :/] instead of క్రి), letter ra, vowel sign i, letter sa, sign virama (which this time just suppresses the inherent vowel). Six code points, of which three are Other_Letter (part of Letter) and three Nonspacing_Mark (part of Mark, not Letter).

Unicode’s Letter general category is almost never what you want. To begin with, you should instead use the “Alphabetic” property, which examination of https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr44/#Alphabetic and https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr44/#GC_Values_Table shows to be a superset of Letter, adding the Letter_Number (Nl) general category and the Other_Lowercase, Other_Uppercase and Other_Alphabetic properties.

But actually, even Alphabetic isn’t quite the right tool: some scripts don’t separate words with non-alphabetical characters, and some scripts use non-alphabetical characters in the middle of words (e.g. ZWJ and ZWNJ in Indic texts, or apostrophes in English). For most correct results, I believe you actually need to get into full text segmentation to find word breaks, as defined in UAX #29 <https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr29/>.

As usual: language is fiendishly complicated.

The other definitions are a strange mixture. Digit is ASCII-only, which makes sense for due date, but is inconsistent with Unicode letters elsewhere.

> The tag name MUST only contain letters, digits, or the characters _ or -. It MUST be treated as case-insensitive.

This is somewhat poorly defined, and I’m confident that from such a definition you’ll get multiple incompatible implementations. I would say that you probably want to specify something based on Unicode’s caseless matching; see https://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode14.0.0/ch05.pdf#G217... which will give you much to read and despair of ever understanding. (The whole two and a bit pages of that subsection are worth reading. And I wouldn’t complain if you decided it was worth reading a lot more of the Unicode spec.)

But in this place, I don’t think you actually want letters/digits/_/- anyway. I think that for tag names you’d do better with using UAX #31 <https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr31/> identifiers of some form. Note its optional medial characters (how you’d add -), its “hashtag identifiers”, and its remarks on case folding.
It's mostly the lack of nesting that convinced me not to use xit and to make my own format: http://richardmavis.info/does-the-world-really-need-another-...

And I'm curious about nesting being "pretty difficult to implement in tooling"---how do you mean? At least with emacs I found it no more difficult than counting whitespace characters: https://git.sr.ht/~rfm/tdtd-mode/tree/master/item/readme.md

Portable compared to what?

« microkernels are easier to port » is not a thing.

NeXT did make their own hardware, it was 680x0-based and it was nicer to use than the x86 PC shitboxes it ran on when they stopped making hardware.

« very little assembly » is closest to the truth. NeXTstep and OpenStep were written almost entirely in C and Objective-C and compiled using the GNU toolchain. NeXT was always a hybrid of Unix userspace on top of a Mach microkernel. It’s just not that hard to port a Unixlike OS to another CPU architecture. It’s literally been done since the 1970’s.

However, it is much more difficult to port the OS and maintain binary compatibility with apps created for the previous CPU architecture, which has always been Apple’s special sauce since the original PowerPC Macs.
This is a great response. They could take a category approach similar to funding stages, ie: idea, pre-seed, seed, series A, series B+
Disagree. None of it is even moderately "hard".

PC Building is the easiest thing out there. Right along with soldering, which has a similar reputation being "hard". If you can wear pants in the morning, you can build a pc and solder anything, even 0402 components and sot-23 packages with zero experience. You can't fuck it up even if you tried. Millions of people build IKEA furniture. PC Building is much easier than that.
If you’re running for president backed by one of the two parties, you’re a fortunate son.

You’re buying into an underdog narrative that doesn't match with the facts. Also the media may have been “against” him but they gave him thousands of hours of free coverage. “Big tech” may have been against him, but they handed him his platform in the first place.

I listened to that comment thread as well and it is very similar to the playlist, only with slight variations. Imagine finding hundreds of threads where the colors are all the same, but with very small changes in the pattern as they are all woven into a blanket.
Electricity can't be purely priced on a spot market. Any sort of large-scale industrial use requires reliable power at predictable prices. Solar and wind power is not reliable for base loads without huge amounts of storage, which exists basically nowhere today.

Open your eyes and look outside your apartment. What you call a subsidy I call an investment in maintaining our industrial base. Or would you prefer to see the rest of our manufacturing industry move to China, where they can obtain cheap and reliable power from coal and nuclear plants?
Pretty much immediately after the first developer beta providing Rosetta for Linux shipped, people tried to get it to work on non-Apple hardware, and succeeded: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31662978

While Russia is for sure to blame for taking the final action by launching the war, let's not pretend the US hasn't been meddling in Ukraine for years across multiple administrations. I'd argue that in fact we can do something about "the first." Ukraine is a proxy war between Russia and the US, one that has been brewing since at least 2008.

Only a fool believes a direct confrontation between Russia and NATO/US is a good outcome or would improve the situation. Also let's not fall into the trap of believing propaganda about military performance from either side, it will take years for an honest assessment to come out.
I think the basic issue is that we're neither implementing new widespread patterns in the browser (new widgets, elements, etc.) nor really making it so we provide lower-level building blocks for interaction. Where we did add elements (like the calendar for example) they're so broadly specified that the browsers disagree on them so much you'll find yourself hard-pressed to actually use them. I think type=email is the only "new" element that is uncontroversially useful.

You mostly have the "free" decades-old elements, and when you step a toe beyond them you're incurring a huge amount of work to try to emulate what the browser was giving you, or probably a library or framework to do it.

On the very simplest end, I'm still baffled that there's no combobox element. `datalist` is kind of a mess and isn't quite the same.
I don't think running on a bunch of CPU architectures is really unique to NeXT. Windows NT ran/runs on x86, Arm, Alpha, MIPS, Itanium, and PowerPC, all with a desktop as a full-blown product. Forms of desktop Linux will run on all of those and more.

Never ever did I expect to see Dego mentioned on HN. Kaidi and him are dons.
Can we just, like, start a gofundme right here in HN and get in on the round? Calling dibs here.
>Back in 2015 I made a massive bet on AMD because people on HN working in the field explained the arch shift.

I think you got really lucky. Zen1 didn't ship until 2017 and it lagged severely behind in single thread. You had no idea what AMD was going to have.

Even AMD would tell you that they were surprise that Intel fell so far behind. They've been quoted saying this a few times.

Intel's 10nm Node (equivalent to TSMC 7nm) was suppose to ship in 2016! It didn't ship anything on the desktop using 10nm until Alder Lake in 2021. Five year delay.

Intel would have been well ahead of Zen2 in node technology. Instead, it was around 1.5 node behind.

If you made your bet purely on what was said inside AMD in 2015, you just got lucky. No one knew that Intel would be stuck on 14nm for 7 years when they were planning for 2 years.
Of much more practical and immediate concern is the Pakistani military's long standing and increasingly deep technical cooperation with China.

Khan has a large populist support base but it's not exactly accurate to say he's wildly popular, a huge amount of people from Lahore and Punjab and the power base of elites supporting Nawaz Sharif and his friends are deeply opposed to him. They've spent lots of money on political opposition.

And then there's all the Sindhi Bhutto and PPP supporters who don't like him either. He has maybe 45-50% support.
How are you qualifying “primary historical sources”? Nothing in the links you posted indicate these to be official primary historical sources other than you claiming them to be so.

It's used 2 ways in metallurgy. Mainly it is a term for test pieces cut from a batch of metal and used for proof testing. Tensile, elongation, fatigue, weldability, and many other tests require destructive testing coupons. When you take welding certification tests, you weld two coupons together, and then submit your coupon for testing.

It is also a term for strips of metal that you mount in a corrosive environment as a way to monitor corrosion of other susceptible components. So if you were worried about your bronze bushings, you would buy some matching bronze coupons, put them in an area of similar flow, and measure their thickness periodically.

Yup, that's exactly what OP wants. You write some software to fetch the calendar / org-mode entries, and there's your prototype for the Kickstarter. Like all hardware projects, the tough part is the software and the marketing.

The software honestly feels like a day's worth of work. I don't know if TinyGo has a driver for the Pico W wifi chip, but I've used an ESP32 with nina and you basically initialize the WiFi core and then use net/http like a program running on a big computer. Very very easy. Times have never been better for Internet-connected microcontroller programmers.
Any downsides?

It's not entirely unrelated as it's on the topic of child safety laws related to vehicles. It's proving a point - that the knee-jerk reaction of banning something that "must not be safe" can be an overreaction.

Yes, they are responsible for aborher human. The question is who sets those minimum standards and what should they be. If the caregiver can't be trusted with simple everyday things like this, then can they be entrusted with this child at all?

> The wealthiest countries are generally those that have _more_ cultural drinking

I don't think this is correct but I think I understand where you're coming from. Looking at the top 10 countries by alcohol consumption for 2019 (below), it seems there's a good mix of wealthy and not so wealthy countries.

Wealthier countries may seem to be bigger drinkers because they often have strong cultural exports (TV/music) and/or a strong tourism industry, exposing their drinking cultures to the outside world.

Top 10 Countries with the Highest Alcohol Consumption in 2019 (in liters of pure alcohol per capita):

Czechia - 14.26
Latvia - 13.19
Moldova - 12.85
Germany - 12.79
Lithuania - 12.78
Ireland - 12.75
Spain - 12.67
Uganda - 12.48
Bulgaria - 12.46
Luxembourg - 12.45

Of course we do (real people, not the media). Not defending snobbery or anything but SV costs NYC rent for someplace that's.. definitely not NYC.

Lame-os who are primarily interested in the most-coveted jobs might be motivated by what you're saying but there's a lot more to NYC than that.
I think it is a combination of shell shock reaction and lack of data literacy. Some companies have abused their sysadmin privileges, and people now have much less trust for other big entities. I also work in the data business albeit currently in operational/industrial data. We can abuse robots all we want as they have no rights. Cyborgs on the other hand are much more complicated. I understand the scale and types of data impacts.
The mention of "Confidential Computing support" and the word "secure" over and over makes me strangely nervous.

No doubt. Very possible. Makes sense given the fact their model docked us 66% credit limit despite nothing changing in our financial health model outside of an LOC/cash switchover (which is a normal setup for ecom businesses).

Just wild that AMEX and other banks have zero issue giving us a limit 3-5x that (verified it today!) but Stripe can't. AMEX account rep is begging for us to come back. Just sucks since Stripe's invoicing integration is absolutely nails, and all third party ones I've used are horrible (special shout to SAP Concur for being the worst of all time).
One example: Geforce Now's streaming machines skimp on CPU strength, so certain CPU-intensive games like Planetside 2 run poorly. There is no way for an end user to solve this problem.

Even if Apple does, it's probably peanuts.

Apple has invested billions to make a full transition to ARM.

I'd think that they would have to spend at least $50 billion or more to redesign all the Apple Silicon from the iPhone to the Mac Pro, rewrite 5 or 6 operating systems, and beg developers to recompile their apps.

It'd be a nightmare.

I think Apple will stay on ARM for at least 20 years...
>It's the difference between heating your house to 72 and walking around barefoot, or 68 and wearing a sweater and wearing loafers.

Someone who actually believes the "just put a sweater on" rhetoric that even those who tried foisting it on the public quickly gave up on.

Be sure to give your sage advice to the Germans and other Europeans who are this winter going to see gas bills rise 200-1000%. We've had, in the past month, a German minister stating that becoming dependent on Russian gas was a "grievous mistake", and that his country is begging for turbines from Canadian custody "with a heavy heart". His government stating that entire industries might "collapse". Rationing of gas announced. Local municipalities planning warm buildings that those without heat in their homes can visit during the winter. These are just a few of the many things that have happened that are part of the greatest German (and thus European) catastrophe in 80 years.

>Those are the tradeoffs. Need for indoor heating has a lot of stretch. In Europe, there's a ton of stretch on personal mobility too, since there are viable alternatives for the car.

It was obvious from your earlier stupendously cringeworthy "Ten years from now, Europeans will drive electric (if they'll drive at all)" comment that you are of that peculiar species known as Homo redditus, the type that believes in everything you read in /r/politics and /r/worldnews, but the above reinforces it.

(No, Virginia, Europe isn't some sort of magical wonderland of public transportation everywhere from Ireland to Estonia to Greece to Portugal. Be sure to tell the rural Spaniard or Frenchman or Irishman how he no longer needs an automobile or two, and to the people commuting into Frankfurt or Milan or Antwerp by car that there's no reason why they've been doing so all this time so need to stop ASAP.)

>Europe can weather this crunch a lot better than America.

This is so, so wrong in every single way that it's hard to believe so much wrongness can be contained in ten words.

> The average cost of lithium-ion batteries has plummeted 89% since 2010, and is expected to reach $50 per kWh in the near future. Assuming a battery cost of $100 per kWh, the TCP for a battery-electric containership is already lower than that of an ICE equivalent, for routes less than 1,000km. And when battery prices reach $50 per kWh, which is predicted for the near future, electrified ships will be cost-effective on routes as long as 5,000km.

This was the nugget for me. Big if true, as they say.
Agreed on virtually all points. Based on my research this is a bald misappropriation of copyrighted material that is likely to persist due to the fact that the jurisdiction that these individuals operate-from is largely outside the practical reach of United States law.

They’re able to deliver these seemingly bizarre and largely incorrect legal opinions because they’re practically immune to lawsuits originating overseas (which for most of us means the United States).

This is strikingly similar to foreign bootleggers who once ran amok with American and British intellectual property in the form of copied PC games and DVDs. They were arguably simply copying and selling “access” too. The wares are simply being hawked online rather than on the sides of streets this time around.
