Fair comment.

I think it's fair to say though it was intended to be a move away from the main PC microprocessor line (which you can argue traced a path through 8080 to 8086 and beyond ) and ultimately replace it at the high end - so in spirit similar to Itanium even if not an 'x86 replacement'.
That is something that I would love to browse
I started investing during this downturn. I'm investing for 30 years. Either this is the end of the world as we know it and my money is going to be worthless or it'll be fine over 30 years.
This seems like a great tool. I’m personally hooked on the https://graphite.dev CLI and would just like to mention it for comparison.
Technically it's not the blitter (a fast way to move bits around) that allowed the machine to have 4096 colours. All you need for that is 4-bit RGB DACs and appropriate colour lookup tables. And enough memory to store, say, 5 bitplanes (32 colour lookup table) at 320x200 = 40KB of memory, which up to this point had been prohibitively much, e.g. in a machine with only 64KB of memory.

I am SHOCKED to learn that there is gambling going on in this establishment!

Here are your winnings, sir.
One prohibits industry and the other prohibits obnoxious behaviour.

No matter what, zoning won't let me have a machine shop in my garage. The thing is that machine shops aren't all the same:

If I'm servicing heavy equipment there will be low-beds delivering equipment, a driveway full of grit, disassembled machines and oil stains along with welding and arc-air gouging, etc. Not something you want next door; nuisance laws stop this.

If I'm making parts for medical instruments, everything is inside, you can't see or hear any of it when I close the door, and traffic consists of me making weekly trips to buy bar stock and the occasional courrier van. What nuisance is that?

Both are machine shops but they are far from having the same impact on a street.
Sounds like you've got the kind of outstanding IT guy that was motivated to make the electronics run like the scientists wanted more so than anything.

At the other end of the spectrum there's labs [0] where the scientists need to carefully study and develop increasing skills at operating the electronics the way IT wants it done, and even worse of a distraction when there's a moving target keeping up with the IT electronics approach changing faster than the progress most labs make in their own scientific field.

What labs need more of is your kind of IT operator who can bring that option (your extreme end of the spectrum in favor of lab workers) within reach for when it is the most appropriate choice.

When labs fail to retain such adequate talent, they can rule out that option going forward, and that's one less tool in the toolbox.

ehh...well i let you figure it out...
While I don’t disagree with your overall point, it’s worth noting that this essay is from the point of view of William Shatner, the actor who played the original Captain Kirk on the Star Trek TV series. I’m pretty sure he didn’t pay, and it sounds like he may have even been paid to go.

My impression is that Shatner’s participation was the classiest part of the trip, which is really saying something. The moment after the landing when Jeff Bezos popped a bottle of champagne in Shatner's face while he was trying to express his feelings about the experience really summed it all up for me.
Certainly they had trouble with certain genres of video. For instance clips where a little bomb drops out of a drone and falls on top of somebody. I think watching one of these is informative, as is seeing a T-80U cook off. But there is a 3-hour livestream that needs lots of content and they would show endless videos of the same plot.

What steams me is that this channel

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFUidKQ8v0RqAke2zbVDY_g

which is full of promotional videos for Russian arms exporters, still has ads. I just saw an ad for a U.S. Congressional candidate on that one.
In all seriousness that's one of the best arguments to colonize Mars IMO.

But listen to some of his top ranked episodes and you start to appreciate how he lets the guest speak.

The Neal Stephenson is one interview that comes to mind.
It's a diaeresis symbol rather than an umlaut, used (infrequently) to show that it's pronounced co-or rather than coor. Quite archaic, unless you're the New York Times, who use it as part of their house style, but not wrong!
>"happy hour" involves immediately after work being the accepted time for daily drinkers to start

"happy hour" is the commercial offering of alcoholic drinks at a cheaper price to entice customers to come early. That will create a convivial atmosphere enticing more customers, and once there people will frequently have "just one more" a few times, extending their evening. Pretty sure it's about selling rather than social mores.

> I'll do whatever I want

What a juvenile attitude. I wasn't giving you orders, I was presenting my standards of communication. You can do whatever the hell you want, but don't expect other people to tolerate your obnoxiousness.

You seem to get off on insulting people. I do not get off on being insulted, so I will refrain from further communication with you. Goodbye.

Sales industry is full of stats like this, author mentions businesses that focus on sale rep call analysis and training like Zoom, Gong, and Chorus; here’s example of bunch of call stats from Gong:

https://www.gong.io/blog/cold-call-stats/

What none of these sales businesses want you to know is that while sales will never go away, reality is buyers increasingly have more and more information and sales is increasingly less and less relevant. Customer education prior to reaching a sales rep and customer success after onboarding are though increasingly important.
Ask HN: Is A Tour of C++ the best way to learn c++?
I know Rust, but after hitting my head against a wall trying to generate Rust bindings for a templated c++ library[1] I realized I should just write this part of my project in c++.

My current plan is to read through Stroustrup's A Tour of C++, then start working on my project. When I encounter issues I'll look the topic up in Stroustrup's The C++ Programming Language.

I'm hoping someone with relevant experience can tell me if this is a decent plan, and if there's a better or faster way to learn enough C++ to write a small program that calls such a library.

I think it _was_ unfair and illegitimate, from a procedural perspective.

Practically, I think representation wouldn't have changed the outcome that much.

I'm no historian, but my impression is that the taxes
were in large part England trying to cover the bill from the French and Indian War, which was mostly incurred on behalf of the colonists.

So, procedurally unfair? Yeah. Actually unjust? I dunno about that.

Even if I'm wrong about the facts and the taxes were genuinely egregious abuse, I don't think that's good grounds for killing a bunch of people.
The origin dates to antiquity, slavery has existed a long time. I'm sure there are accounting books from ancient Egypt documenting all of this in intricate detail.

The fact that this mindset continues to persist is horrifying, but it's been a constant battle for thousands of years... I don't even know how you fight it without at least the concept of unions and solidarity between workers.

I feel it is the lingering desire of people who once had kingly power over their employees to at least retain the certain knowledge that rules do not apply to them in the same way they apply to their employees.

I doubt that provost is interested in moving to the night shift so that they can more efficiently use their office for three provosts in three separate shifts. They aren't even contemplating that the rules they want to apply to everyone in a low social class might be more productively applied to themselves.

Because I am pretty sure you could fit five grad student desks in a typical provost's office. Fifteen if you force them to work in three shifts. Of course five grad student stipends is almost certainly also only half the provost's salary... seems like another opportunity for cost savings and improved research efficiency.

The main purpose of a background check to confirm what you told the employer. If you were hired on the strength of your work history and were honest about your education, felony status, etc. you are fine, otherwise you are busted.
Yea because I’m sure you’re struggling because you can’t watch the latest blockbuster the way you want. Should Netflix or the other companies not be able to fund exclusive content?
No, sadly, this is the best we have.

While a trailer is maybe technically an ad, it's also more. The social phenomena of being a part of the zeitgeist is fun for a lot of folks.

We can all meme about Jack Black together or how Chris Pratt is a weird choice.
During Prohibition, ethanol was also available by prescription for "medicinal" purposes. That was a great racket for doctors who could charge anyone who wanted a legal drink.

We already have a shortage of doctors. Doing something like this that would further increase their workload is flat out idiotic.

I might be able to do that, but then again the pay isn't great either. You can't ask for the right candidate with some useless extra requirements, if you don't even pay enough to get the right candidate without these extras.
Nope. You can easily find subtitles for literally anything on the internet. Some players even download them automatically. "Pirates" in the anime community pretty much invented this subtitling technology. You bet this data is included, either in the container file or as separate subtitle files.

Meanwhile HBO lacks english closed captioning for most of its content. They give me subtitles for spanish sometimes even though it's not my native language. Not to mention the obnoxious censorship and inaccurate translations.
Aer Dingus more like it...

That conception was much older, probably in the early Archaic Age. By Plato's day it was believed that the planets were different distances from the Earth with the Moon being closest, Saturn being the farthest, and the sphere of the fixed stars being beyond that.
The Japanese have an excellent method for zoning that prevents the worst cases (industrial next-door to residential, for instance) but doesn't limit things like corner stores below an apartment.

We got disney plus, netflix and switch between hulu/hbo/discovery, and plex to fill in the gaps, i dont give a crap about piracy they could just have made a proper collaboration at this point.
I fail to see why that would be more beneficial than to generate art.
I hope they do. Stupid click-baits with childish reaction faces on someone else's videos to begin with. This whole monetisation thing lowered the quality of content down to nothing. People create stuff just for the algorithms not for other people. It's on par with "SEO content", not content for an audience.

Putting "funny" reactions, sounds and faces on videos where people are dying literally on camera from bombardments is something that should not be supported in any way.

Nothing of value is lost here.
Your sarcasm is as dry as a really dry parcel of uncooked food, like a bag of rice or maybe one of those astronaut food pouches.
I hate what PayPal has become and want nothing to do with them.

But, what payment processor should I be using instead? Venmo is owned by PayPal. Zelle (and Venmo) use Plaid, which accesses your entire checking account history. What's left and viable?
Not sure about the US but penalty clauses aren't valid in UK law. You can only charge for what you might lose as a result of a breach of contract.

I can't imagine how PayPal would incur $2500 costs as a result of someone buying a traveller's cheque.
Yes, and the closer the evolutionary relationship, the closer you would expect the biochemistry to be.

A result in yeast might not apply at all. a result in fish might be something worth investigating. A result in mice has a good likelihood of applying to humans. A money study would be a close match.

Very cool. I never thought about this approach and seems very fair and would prevent local governments experiencing a lifestyle creep of sorts.
This hits home. I started playing badminton when I was about 13 at a tiny club in a rural area. I ended up playing against adults most of the time. By the time I was 16 I was completing in the adult League with my club (instead of playing in my age category). I played for a while in uni too, but eventually quit because I moved to an area that didn't have a club. Always thought I'd resume paying. I'm 47 next year, so I've left it almost 30 years.

I regularly run an cycle, and kept my weight/waist the same as my 18 year old self, so that's it: tomorrow I'm going to find a club and join.

Thank you!
I mean, I kind of agree but Amazon does it well IMO where they show one ad at the beginning and allow you to skip it. Realistically they probably don't charge enough to be able to get rid of all ads and I doubt consumers want to pay the "real" cost of content.
This model is not consistent with what we've seen in Japan over the past several decades.

The UX of piracy is simply incredible compared to streaming services.

I visit one website that has everything I'd ever want to watch, download and start watching with one click, in 4k, with no streaming degradation, in a video player I like, with features like upscaling and which works offline.
I believe the only reason for the ticket check at security checkpoints is to prevent non-flying family members from attempting to go to the gate (clogging up the security checkpoint unnecessarily). There are websites which let you generate a 'boarding pass barcode' which will let you through security.

Checked bags can just have a hand written label if needed. Or you have a bunch of machine-readable labels pre-printed in preparation. Or you do what smaller airports do outside the western-sphere, and tell people that they need to take their checked bags with them to the gate and leave them on the tarmac.

The flaws of the 500e are pretty manageable if you accept that it's just an around town car, but this means you probably want it as an addition to your fleet of cars, or want to have the option to borrow or cheaply rent a long distance vehicle when needed.

The current runup in used prices for the 500e is crazy though, there is no way a 500e should be as valuable as a Ford Fusion Energi Titanium. The longer range of the 500e and lower maintenance needed might partially justify this.
'They' = Kyndryl, Aer Lingus or both?

Most measured economic growth is like this - getting more from less.. For example, a process that allows producing 2x more electricity per unit of fuel would increase the productivity of the generator station, and be counted as economic growth.

Economic growth also measures increased consumption of natural resources, so it's a mixed measurement admittedly.
How does your local video rental place have 120K+ titles?

We used several video rental stores around the time the Netflix DVD service debuted. The reason we switched and never looked back was that frankly, none of our rental stores had ever been very good. The selection was always limited and spotty, and if you got unlucky it might be checked out already even if they owned a copy.

This streaming thing we've got now doesn't match Netflix in its heyday, but it's still miles better than anything we had pre-Netflix.
I got a 500 on macbook and chrome.
You just have to be comfortable with a single application on your phone holding all your details for you, it having implemented the protocol perfectly, and having amazing protections around the handling of the third-party request phases.

An aside, but I really hate how the tech and media industries have so many unintuitive acronyms.

I am highly tech-savvy, as I would assume are most people on Hacker News. I have no idea what FAST and AST are in your comment. By context of you saying “ad free” I can guess that “AS” may mean “ad-supported”, but I have no idea what the F and T are and why they’re different.

Yes, I know I can “just Google it!” But by virtue of Google being useless these days, Googling “fast acronym” is all pages about strokes.

This is how tech shoots itself in the foot (yes, this is a general rant.) Use a bunch of acronyms no one understands, and then build a search engine that makes the meanings impossible to find.

Hopefully this will be better in the future. But I am not sure it will if people continue to use acronyms so frequently.
I do love recursion, however is static allocation of activation records sometimes a useful feature (e.g. for safety critical or embedded systems)?
>Is there not enough media that is ad free for you to watch

There's a bizarre assumption in the wording of this sentence. If I can not pay to watch a specific thing I would like to watch without ads, I am going to pirate it, regardless of what volume of other things there are to watch.
