And why does it matter at all? Technological and scientific advancement is only means to an end. If utopia is somehow not enough than I suppose nothing is (it reminds me about the famous scene in "Wall street 2" - when asked "what's your number?" The answers given is "more")
What cable does is force you to buy basic cable, plus a bunch of regulatory recovery and other fees, to get cable's real equivalent to streaming services which were the pay movie channels.

I'd rather pay $80/mo. for Internet, then jump in an out of STARZ and other services for $10/mo. instead of paying $80/mo. for Internet, $100/mo. for TV+basic cable (which I don't watch and TV is free OTA), and then the movie channels on top of it.

Plus the streaming services work on my phone which is pretty neat when I'm stuck somewhere.
Something I don’t understand about standups.

Why should anyone wait until the standup itself to reveal blockers?

In my experience the team reveals blockers as they arise and someone usually finds a solution for them within 30-60 mins. There’s rarely an instance where there are pending blockers during the standup.
Because it ends up just triggering ad-honimen attacks of discussions that quickly devolve into pointless nitpicking of "the science" instead or anything about the actual state policy. Put another way, readership isn't mature enough to have the nerdy part of the discussion
Computerphile has a really amusing (sort of) video on the related issue of how to translate between internet time and local time zones (though they have a different opinion about the wisdom of 'leap smears' vs 'leap seconds'):

Note that the common-sense notion that time intervals are fixed fails when relativistic concepts are introduced. Atomic clocks get out of sync due to being in different relativistic frames (satellites vs. ground, for example). Hence designating a 'universal time' is always going to be somewhat arbitrary.

Thank you for answering my question 4 layers below where I asked it.

Funny how the “don’t ask a question online, be confidently wrong” principle applies here so perfectly. I love it.
I worked on a feed reader back in 2006. The worst feed discovery kluge I can recall needing to special case was that certainly the most popular blog at the time (Cute Overload) was a frameset around blogger. That was typical though, people’s sites are a mess.

When the website showed that one ID existed, there were already multiple ones created afterwards...

Any clues to how you did this?

I'm in a sales related role for the first time and it seems like half the customers expect and want a 'deck' and the other half balk at a deck. Right now we're tending to stick with just talking on a call rather than presenting glitzy materials.

I have fulfilling work and just enough pay to get by. My employer hired a new HR director, who came out and said "working at this company is an intangible benefit" and went on to explain that we underpay people as a matter of policy specifically on account of that benefit. In retrospect, I should have called a vote to unionize at the end of that meeting, because employee dissatisfaction hit an all-time low that day...
I'm 40 and the older I get, the less patience I have. I see it for example with my love of Linux. Back in my 20s I loved to fiddle for hours to get things to work. Nowadays I dont have the patience for bullshit and spending time in small things.

I can only imagine how I'll be in another 40 years.

Ah, yes, you're right. I didn't even consider them, because they're pretty much irrelevant, at least for now. I also believe it could be both + there's probably a bit of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" as well (the "enemy" of them being the current center-left government), and a good splash of insanity. Add tribal behavior where you're moving with the group you're a part of and I guess this is what you get.
Can you point to an example?

I think you might be confusing information with depth of character and understanding.

Yes, we have new and better information now, but the ways in which it is expresses is notably inferior to the writings I've been exposed to from the past.
The Antikythera Mechanism indicates that those assumptions may not be true.
I didn't expect to learn much from this article - but it actually really resonated with me. I often am responsible for purchasing decisions and found much of the advice to sales reps really insightful.

(1) The number one thing that bothers me is when I reach out to a company to explore their product and I get scheduled with a BDR who's sole job is to "qualify" me as a lead. I know BDRs are in a tough spot - but if you have someone reaching out and interested in your product, take advantage of that and get them straight to the person who can demo and answer questions. I'm shocked at how many companies make me want to prove myself as a customer before spending time on demoing.

(2) Ask before recording meetings, and if someone doesn't want to be recorded make sure you actually have the ability to turn that recording off. I've been on calls where the person who set up the Zoom/Gong wasn't on the call, and so no one had the ability to stop recording.

(3) The details of what is shared on calls is often completely lost. Every time a new person gets on the call, they ask the exact same questions that have already been answered. Make the customer feel as though you're interested in their business, have discussed their pain points, and have a plan ready to help them.

(4) Discounting discussions are always a pain. It's a game that no one likes to play.

(5) Offer to send some swag to the implementing team at your customer - not just your champion. It's a nice gesture and goes a surprisingly long way towards building positive sentiment.
Here's another vote for K&R. If you want to understand why C and UNIX were so successful, it comes down to simply excellent communication. And remember - no web, no internet, no WYSIWYG word processors, etc. at the time.

To appreciate C properly, I think at some point you need to become a bit of a historian. Look at BCPL. Look at what assembly listings looked like or old Fortran. Read some of the very early papers from C and UNIX history. Check out Lions' commentary on UNIX. When you see a little of the problem C was invented to solve, it becomes a lot easier to understand why it is what it is. There's a lot of angst about why C allows Bad-Thing-X or doesn't have New-Fancy-Thing-Y. Nobody seems to remember what a change it brought to writing systems code.

Then you can compare it to things written in modern C (C99+) and see that yes it has evolved quite nicely and can, if used correctly, be a nice application language too.
IRMA [1] comes to mind. From their site:

With IRMA it is easy to log in and make yourself known, by disclosing only relevant attributes of yourself. For instance, in order to watch a certain movie online, you prove that you are older than 16, and nothing else.

> Let's talk about Ethereum here since Solana hardly counts as decentralized.

1) My joke was how much work you were having “properly secured” do. It’s a genuine trope called no true Scotsman. Every crypto phenomenon that involves theft “wasn’t decentralized enough” or “wasn’t properly secured”. But then centralized databases are discussed as a monolith.

2. > Ethereum stakers are subject to an Inactivity Leak penalty if they don't do work for the chain.

Sure. That’s an economic incentive. Bank workers get fired and lose salary if they don’t show up.

3. > It's like if a bank made all it's employees keep all their money with the bank and if they didn't do their job they lose all their savings.

Yeah, like getting paid in stock?

So this was a preemptive flagging?

Because looking at the comments I was surprised at how relatively civil it was, considering this a matter of life and death.

It’s definitely true, though I’m glad you’ve not had to whiteness such fates. I’ve seen it first hand with family members and it’s traumatic for all involved.
Ask HN: Did Facebook read my WhatsApp chat and target me with an ad?
I have read similar stories but finally experienced this myself: in a private WhatsApp chat with my partner, we discussed for the first time a specific bike rental service that operates in our town. This was the first time we ever discussed this, and we mentioned the service by name.

Around 30 minutes later I went on facebook.com, and saw an ad to this specific service.

Some context which I think controls for "simpler" explanations to this co-occurrence: I did not go on this service's website following our chat, nor did I search for it on Google. I did open the service's app on my phone, but it was already installed and as far as I know (and hope) Apple does not share this kind of usage data, let alone with Facebook.

WhatsApp chats are encrypted end-to end. My buest guess is that Facebook is able to do some kind of homomorphic encryption, which it was claimed to be able/trying to do [1,2].

Ask HN: Why mobile Chrome says HTTPS site is not secure?
It happens often (at home, mobile or random wifi networks): Chrome shows a warning that a website is not secure and asks if I want to proceed. I do and the website shows the lock icon and the certificate is valid.

It just happened with HN.

What gives?
I think it's simply that the advantages of either of those features have become less compelling.

No one actually wants to repair their computer, although it's nice in the abstract for repair to be easy when it's necessary. I value reliability quite a bit, which is why I was unwilling to buy a second laptop with butterfly switches, lucky for me Apple didn't force me to make a hard decision. I also value being able to bring a broken machine to trained professionals, with the expectation that they'll repair it.

Fixing a broken laptop interests me about as much as fixing a broken toaster oven.

Extendability was valuable when RAM and hard drives got cheaper faster than CPUs. It's still frugal, at least, to get just a little of each, and pay market rate for the upgrade, rather than the Apple rate.

This is something I've also stopped caring about. It's just easier to get the machine I expect to need up front. When I want more machine, used MacBooks have a robust market, so I get a new one and sell the old one.

I enjoy soldering and wiring up little hacker machines, though I'm not good at it, but that's a hobby. It's emphatically not something I want to do in order to resume my professional work.

There's still a whole swathe of ThinkPad users who like the interface, use 'exotic' ports, are maintaining old motherboards which work fine for them, more power to them. It's not surprising to see normal coders using a machine that just gets out of the way.
Haha, it's a funny video in exactly the way you say: it's so Seinfeld-relatable. He's trying to make sure everyone is acknowledged and there's no way to do it in that instant comfortably. The best you can do is ack each thing and then come to it when you can come to it.

In the end, the Bezo didn't do that poorly.

Nope, it’s not okay and I’ll readily admit I’m a hypocrite. Because, as you imply, there’s no ethical alternative. And I could go on about the ways I try to minimize my impact with electronics too, but that isn’t and wasn’t the point.

I was on a 4 hour delayed transatlantic flight recently - which meant EU legislated delay compensation. It worked out as €600 per person - more than we paid for the return trip. In a 200 seat aircraft that's something like €120,000 - multiply that by 10 hours of delayed aircraft departures and the cost to the airline is huge! I can see why they'd want to pass that on to someone if they could.

We use square meters in Denmark.
The diameter of a CD/DVD is 120 mm, so you can fit 64 CD's per m² if you order them in a grid (more if you do not)
A CD is 1.2 mm think. The ceiling height in my apartment is ca 2.7m, so I could fit 14400 CD's per m². If a DVD can store 10 GByte, that is ca 144 TByte.

The average rent per square meter is about $20/month (more in Copenhagen, less outside the big cities).

I suspect I can not store 144TByte in the cloud for $20/month.

You might argue that I do have that many DVD's. But then I do have many small corners and shelves that is not much use for anything else. And it would be even more unlikely to be able to store say 14 TByte in the cloud for $2/month.
The article’s argument is that it’s not a stack machine because entry of a block is a barrier for accessing what’s on the stack.

(AFAIK, exiting a block also is limited in that it can only return a single item)

You can’t do what’s typical in forths: push intermediate values, enter a loop, use and/or change intermediate values, check for end of loop, loop or exit, read intermediate values.

An example from http://www.murphywong.net/hello/simple.htm#L15):

: INTEGERS ( +n -- )
1 \ Initialize i to 1 ( +n i=1 )
BEGIN \ Start loop: i is TOS ( +n i )
2DUP \ Duplicate 2 items ( +n i +n i )
< \ Is +n less than i ? ( +n i flag )
IF \ Act on flag ( +n i )
2DROP \ True: drop 2 items ( )
EXIT \ True: leave word ( )
THEN \ End IF ... THEN ( )
DUP \ DUPlicate TOS ( +n i i )
. \ Display TOS ( +n i )
1+ \ Increment TOS ( +n i=i+1 )
AGAIN \ Loop back ( +n i )
; \ End definition

Here, both the value of n and the loop counter are on the stack when entering the loop, and the loop removes them before exiting (using 2DROP)

Edit: you also can’t take multiple values from the stack in a loop, as in

111 108 108 101 72 5 0 DO EMIT LOOP

which, if I didn’t mess things up, prints “Hello”.

Shakespeare’s been dead 600 years, and we still make movies based on his archetypes.
I’m only going from my reading of this article (yes, read the whole thing), but the discussion point that is missing is that of the media barron. Unique amongst major corporate ownership, owning a media company brings not only profits but a direct ability to shape the daily message and narrative.

I think this is why the trove of SMS between Musk and otter elites is so fascinating and why many were keen to be in on the action. Not so much for the perceived future profits but from their ability to shape the media narrative.

How you ask? Quietly agree on messaging priorities behind the scenes with your cartel of rich buddies, hire smart people to focus on addressing policy question related to those underlying priorities.

In large media groups the founder doesn’t even need to activist coerce or apply force, it’s well documented the occurance of self-censorship where employees just take account of what the big boss might want.

This factor is much more neutral when the shareholders are large managed funds, but Twitter can much more keenly be wielded for personal gain once there is a dominate entrepreneurial owner at the helm.

> This and support calls should be inputs into product, but I'd guess both inputs are ignored.

This is a huge pet peeve of mine. Parts of the organization are in direct contact with customers, and are in a position to learn a lot. And those parts are often only connected to the decide-what-to-make parts either informally or via going all the way up to the C-level and then back down. It's maddening.

At one client, I got them to try a cross-functional team for an innovative new set of features. One of the people we roped in was one of the best customer support people. She was hugely helpful. She was very good at spotting potential problems before we shipped. And once we started the test rollouts, she knew what to look for and would get us important customer feedback right away. It was great, and I wish more companies would do it.
WebAssembly started as an AST dump, and Lisp-appearing syntax is a simple way of dumping any tree, ASTs included, so the WebAssembly Textual syntax (WAT) adopted it just because it was easy. Then function bodies went from post-encoded tree form to a linear set of instructions managing a stack, which means there's no reason for a tree encoding anymore. So the Lisp-y looking bits are mostly in the metadata structures around the function bodies.

You could output a lot of formats in a Lisp-y looking way. The language itself has very little to do with actual Lisp.
