I was in my second year of University and really needed a computer for my studies. My last machine had been an Amiga A1200, which I adored, but sadly was going to be too much work to get it into a useful state for studies. I bought my first PC - a Thinkpad T40 brand new. I was intrigued about the 'embedded securiy subsystem'. Back then things like this seemed cool and exciting to me. I set a password, excited that I could lock the system at such low level. It rebooted, I typed in the password, and it beeped at me an error. I typed it in again, and got another beep. I remember starting to sweat. Third time it worked. I must have typo'd something, so I immediately unset it and never did that again.
Good luck running even something as "simple" as slack on a $30 dollar Android phone. If new you usually want to throw in at least 150-250$ for an Android phone that doesn't run things with high latency, at least in my experience as a mid-range device user.
Tired of the bloat, overhead and friction of using everything else, gui, I realize what really endures for me.

Keeping it simple and staying in the terminal (tmux, vim, fzf, rg, etc) slowly and incrementally over 18 yrs it just makes sense. It is not about good, but about what's comfortable and known, like learning a language; there's always something new and fun to incorporate. Despite years with emacs-nox, Orgmode, EvilMode and DoomEmacs, I kept returning and staying in vim. Old habits, die hard.
> Hindenburg said the truck was “towed to the top of a hill on a remote stretch of road and simply filmed it rolling down the hill.” It was then used in a video, which Nikola said was created by a third party, in which the truck appeared to be driving on its own propulsion on flat roads.

It's all relative. How much is hype or marketing, and how much is just dishonesty? I think it depends on the field. I mean even the term "AI" is fraudulent whenever it's used, really. But investors who actually do the most basic diligence in their research know the shot. Filming a truck rolling down a hill is pretty dishonest though. I mean trucks aren't a 'concept' they're a real thing already.
It’s perfectly fair to point out that Apples approach, which HackerNews loves to whine about, prevents exactly this kind of spyware.
First structure the thoughts, then structure the text. Think about which thought should get how much room and how natural the transitions between the thoughts feel. If you have to explain a side thought maybe give it its own paragraph, or even some sort of "Good to know"-box.

I have been typesetting texts as a freelancer for a while. Well structured texts basically set themselves.

Once you get the structuring right there might already be ideas which parts need images, illustrations or similar things to make the thoughts even more clear. It is crucial to note that images and illustrations always have to serve the flow of thoughts. Maybe the illustration can clarify something you didn't fully explain in the text, maybe it can give a slightly different angle etc. But it should always serve a purpose. Also consider that sometimes images can communicate something in a second that a text would need a page for. Sometimes it is just the other way around. Sometimes it is a small video, animation or interactive canvas. Choose the right media because it serves your idea (not because it looks fancy).

After a especially hard chapter the purpose can also just be to congratulate the reader like a price in a video game, so it must not be too serious. But know why you put things where you put them. So having a good designed tutorial is about developing design systems that serve the kind of information you happen to explain.

It makes sense that you collect screenshots and links of good examples for yourself and take them as a guide. Be it blogs, documentation actual physical books or whatever.

Always remember however that the most crucial thing is to structure the thoughts and get them into a flow. In the end a well structured text-only explaination will beat the best designed, fanciest explaination with unstructured thoughts most of the time.
This is really not about you "giving keys to your house" to Qatar.
You already given keys of your house to Google and other parties, now they own your house and they don't like sharing it with Qatar.
So he just has to be a member of one? How many meetings does he have to attend?, how much larping and dinner theatre does he have to do before he is allowed to criticize other countries without the burden of things past and current governments have done?

Are you bloody serious? For real real not for play play? Some other poster made the comment that "whataboutism" is deflection. Considering every country has done some amount of bad things, either in the past or now, according to you and other parents, no one would be allowed to criticize any other country's govermnet. That's the ultimate deflection.
Yes, much much faster. The 7600GT will do about 900k characters per second (stock) or 600k at 160x60 using ter-u20b font. Last time I tested, a GTX580 does about 187k per second but that's in stock 80x25 VGA mode without a framebuffer; to get a direct framebuffer the only option I'm aware of is nouveau, and that drops the rate to about 14k per second (so only just better than the equivalent of 1FPS at 160x60, as thast's about 10k characters on screen at once).

Some of the kernel changes that are happening may well make it possible to have simple high-speed framebuffers that can be used for text consoles in the future, so there's still hope.
> The sun does, in fact, shine far, far more than enough.

Not in northern Europe. For example at the southern most point of Finland there is 3 months in the year when solar produces less than 1% of its name plate capacity. It does get slightly better in the southern part of Sweden but still not that great.

Around Mediterranean is where solar starts to get really good though the Africa side of it is even better.
Damn, as a long time Odoo dev, I really hope to see Odoo on the front page one day.
I remember when some FAANG buddies of mine were gloating about gains made of NKLA.

It reminded me no one gives a fuck if their money is made by corruption, fraud or unethical activity. The world is truly a "Fuck you, I've got mine" type of place. Never forget it, and never trust anyone.

I see the same story playing out in the Celsius network crap.
Rational and moral solution would be total free market... But I don't see that happening. Just too much power, control and publicity in totalitarianism.
Germany spent 2x the whole french grid just on renewables already and it still does not work. How much do they need to spend? 4x, 10x ?
I agree that full-disk encryption (i.e. encryption inserted in the block device driver) is not the right solution for storage encryption, and also the encryption at the file level is not a solution.

The right place where storage encryption must be inserted is in the file system implementation, where it is possible to implement a completely secure form of authenticated encryption. This is especially easy to do in the so-called copy-on-write file systems or log-structured file systems.

However, file system implementations are much more complex than block device drivers, so modifying them to insert encryption in the right way requires a lot of work, which nobody has done for any of the popular file systems.

While there are some commercial solutions that claim to be secure I have not seen anyone that manages the secret keys correctly (no secret keys should be stored in the encrypted device itself, regardless if they are encrypted with a password, because encryption based on a password is much weaker than with a long random key).

Not every country uses a decommissioning subsidy as you should just take the money from the plants during their lifetime and put in a fund for this purpose. This is what is happening in Finland and the fund already has more money then the projected decommissioning costs but they still keep pumping more money into them just in case.

There are two ways to read that comment. One is like you say. The other - as “someone who doesn’t go out much”, this actually resonates, in a weird way: “the Unix way” resulted in user having a proper control and their environment being predictable and thus trustworthy. Compared to that, the web is not only technologically inferior (Chromium LoC alone is enough to tell), but also as unreliable and unpredictable as many other things IRL.
A fake (AI) conversation between the best programmer in the world with a junior
> The most recent laptops with an actual nice Thinkpad keyboard were X220 or T420, everything after that is chiclets.

I agree that the Sandy Bridge era (2011) ThinkPads were the last to have a proper 7 row keyboard layout, but there's slightly more to it.

ThinkPad keyboards are made by a variety of OEMs. For the 2011 models, the manufacturers were NMB, Chicony and Alps. The consensus within the ThinkPad enthusiast community is that keyboards from NMB offered the best typing feel, followed Chicony and finally Alps.

You can tell if you have a NMB keyboard by carefully prising off one of the keycaps: if you see a red rubber dome, it's a NMB keyboard. (grey = Chicony; white = Alps). Each keyboard manufacturer has a unique part number (FRU - field replaceable unit in the IBM/Lenovo parlance). Online sellers often mix and match FRUs, so it can't be relied upon to get the NMB keyboard - you need to ask the seller what colour the domes are. The NMB keyboards are sadly becoming more rare and expensive by the day.

FWIW, chiclet machines often had better feel than the 7-row predecessors. E.g. T440p with non-backlit keyboard. This is due to improvements in chassis design - the T440p's magnesium alloy rollcage was solid underneath the keyboard, resulting in 0 keyboard flex.

I think it’s pretty clear from context that “climate change” in this case is shorthand for “human-caused warming and carbonization of oceans,” even if that’s not explicit.

“Climate change” is an overly broad term, true, but it’s also very easy to understand what is meant by it in 90% of situations.

If I tell you I got into a car accident “because of bad weather,” you should assume that I don’t mean that it was too hot outside.
I think this calls for an outrageous break with smartphone design, someone bold needs to design the voice only flat black slate with no instructions and requiring practice to master. Take that!
We love gta!
A few key differences though:
1. We analyze the effect of code changed on code coverage, which means we only compare changed code to runtime information (code that actually ran).
gta analyzes statically.

Let's assume you have a function:

func myFunction(a int) {

if(a > 10) {

func1()

} else if (a < 4) {

func2()

} else {

func3()

}
}

let's assume you changed func3 only, or func2, but during the run of the test only func1 ran.

The test will be skipped because no change could of affected it's result. NOT in gta.
Many issues certainly get resolved over email or bug trackers. Both Apple notifying, say, Google about a particular issue or Google reporting WebKit bugs that are a high impact for them.
Show HN: Lever8Trade: A risk management calculator analyses performance trading
Hi everyone, this is my first time in this forum. A colleague recommended my to showcase our creation here, so I will follow his recommendation.

A colleague and I created this app for iOS and Android, and lately for web. With the intention of demystifying risk management for new traders entering the markets.

The concept of the product is to act as a previous layer of trading itself. This layer enables the user to risk manage its positions, annotate them in a history and see its performance via some analytics.

We launched it some months ago as a side (or hobby) project. Besides creating a landing page, we created a Twitter account to help spread the message. However, we have found terrible difficulty to become visible enough to get people testing our app.

We only have got so far an early adopter, but 99% of the people testing us does not provide any feedback at all.

At this point, I am not sure if we have a product market fit given the current difficult conditions in the market, which does look difficult to many traders.

I would love to get some feedback from you guys.

Are you or have been a trader?
If so, does it look a product you would use?
Do you find it useful?
Would you even to consider to pay for premium features?
···

We are kind of struggling to get users.

Maybe our problem is we do not communicate correctly our message or Twitter algorithm just hate small accounts posting about trading related topics, or maybe we should be paying ads on Facebook.

> No civil nuke plant has ever been operated, anywhere in the world, without massive government subsidies, or by coercing ratepayers to pay well above market rates.

Here in Finland we do. They can't coerce the rate payers as the customer is free to buy their electricity from whomever producer they want here and the only government subsidy is helping with the insurance.

edit: For example TVO at Olkiluoto

https://www.tvo.fi/material/collections/20221014135458/HnAXI...

On page 8 you can see that they have been producing cheaper electricity then the average nordpool area price for Finland for the last 10+ years. (and even before that but the graph starts at 2010). The difference is basically what their owners make as profits. TVO does not sell directly to end users. It only sells to its owners at production costs who can then flip that on the market if they feel like it or cover their fixed price contracts (or just use it themselves for the owners that are big energy heavy industrial companies)

I remember that company from an FT article where they were forced to admit that they'd let their trucks roll down a gentle slope for promotional videos to give the impression that they could drive. Not surprised by this outcome, good if they get caught, albeit a bit late.
To stop playing that game of chance can certainly be a rational and informed decision. If you've tried multiple drugs of multiple categories and none of them work, chances are good that the next one won't work either.

But not even trying? I don't think that's a rational and informed decision. Sure, it might take two weeks, and sure, there are side effects, but if it works, it'll greatly improve your condition. If your condition is serious, taking a pill every day and waiting for two weeks isn't a huge investment.

It's like betting at roulette, you don't have to pay to bet $10000, but you'll get the full win if you're lucky. And you have to wait two weeks after each bet to know whether you won.
Football is too traditional to play EA Cup it already sounds like a McDonald's league.
The nightmare of AI is it's a black box. The nightmare of people is that they're people. (or, per Sartre, "hell is other people" ... but that's such a freighted human perspective).

Gee if only we could grow meat to eat in a lab and grow brains on substrate to answer phone calls and generate images, we could do away with the complexity of other humans we might have to interact with. Except... you have even less understanding of what motivates that clump of cells than you do what motivates your office secretary.

Don't get me wrong, it's a super cool idea. I'm just not sure exactly when bioethics went completely out the window.

Unfortunately, there are numerous problems with fish farming.

For one, predatory farmed fish, such as salmon, are often fed from fish meal made from wild fish, which means there's no net benefit.

Fish are farmed intensively, in much denser populations than found in the wild. In this type of environment, water pollution and animal welfare are serious concerns — disease and parasites such as lice are a big problem. It's not hard to find reports of farmed fish in horrifying condition and conditions.

As a side note, intensive farming of pigs, chickens and cattle is a major source of pollution of inland waterways. This is a direct cause of the dramatic decline of freshwater fish populations in many parts of the world.
"Well," said Pooh, "what I like best," and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called." - A. A. Milne
That's true of pretty much everything though.

Indeed, I started in the days of 40x25 video terminals at home, and new-fangled stuff like modems were only just starting to appear (my first one was 300 baud). Getting a job and having 9600 baud VT100 terminals was truely magic (they still have a teletype for printing work orders on).

However, I've never been tolerant of lag - having a time gap between doing something and having a response just adds to mental workload, it's friction between me and the machine (especially pronounced with IDE's that try to 'help' by taking a second or two to come up with a suggestion, by which time it'll have been left in the dust).

Now I tend to fall on your side of this argument, but I have to say I'd like to see the formal proof of cluelessness :)

Having read previous iterations of the same arguments, I've yet to see anything quite that decisive.

I don't find it dishonest, rather brilliant he found a hill the truck rolled down from. The whole ordeal was the weakest chain of the whole lawsuit - most of the time the tech showed is not 100% working. The truck showed would not be on sale anyways, but obviously whatever would leave a factory. Musk showed houses that did not even have real solar panels even thought he told people in their faces these are solar panels. Seriously, the only reason Musk is not facing 25 years prison is because he is too rich to jail. With enough runaway, this could have been Milton or Holmes.

This is good advice. The "Zaiste Programming" [1] is a nice intro to Doom Emacs.

I'd say using Vim Keybindings in VSCode, being able to use Vim when on some remote machine and using Doom Emacs with its included packages is a good approach for improving without investing too much time.

There was a standardized set of object-oriented extensions for Modula-2 adopted (maybe 25 or 30 years ago), but they never went anywhere (back then). Do any of the current implementations of Modula-2 implement them?

Well it is our own fault. If a programmer faces a hard problem, it is always tempting to follow the urge to fiddle around with the tooling. Like a hobbyist who buys a ton of gear for their hobby but never uses it.

Tools are tools. If you feel they are more, you got a problem. Unless of course your job is the creation of tools, in which case: go ahead.

I’m describing the breakup of Yugoslavia. TV pundits had a big role in demonizing everybody who might oppose the regime, be it the other political parties or the other republics/ethnicities. This paved the road to the war.

Imagine Alex Jones-level “journalism” directed by the government, blasting from the official and more-less the only widely available TV station in the country. Štula was one of the most notorious examples, but I’m not surprised she’s a relative unknown to the people who didn’t watch her with their own eyes.

The most disappointing aspect about the whole situation was that it was so transparent. It was obvious what they were doing, and yet the population at large somehow went along with it… the socialist apparatchik Milošević won elections at the time Eastern European countries were getting rid of their old communist/socialist power structures. Not that he was the only problem, far from it, but to this day I believe that reformists like Ante Marković would have had a fighting chance if not for Milošević.

And then, when there were no answers to economic problems, it was easy to put blame on others: your neighbors and far-away foreign powers alike. Do that in a powder keg that is the Balkans, where so much blood was spilled in the past and everybody remembers it, and the consequences are predictable.

I think that people who lived in democracies their whole lives underestimate how dangerous the malicious journalism and misinformation can be when enough people start believing it.
