One thing we don't know is: anything else about Mel and his other work, whatsoever.

The story of Mel revolves around an entertainment program. This was back when entertainment programs weren't products; there was no game industry.

Mel could have had a completely different attitude toward production programs used for business.

Mel might have been no different from today's regular software engineer, who writes somemthing for an obfuscated contest on the weekend.

The Story of Mel does try to convey the idea that Mel had certain general attitudes. Mel frowned on optimizing assemblers and compilers: "If a program can't rewrite its own code", he asked, "what good is it?". However, any programmer could say things like that. It's par for the course in any water cooler discussion. (Mel would likely have known that an optimizing assembler can rewrite its own code, in a way: it can be run on itself.)

There’s no chance he gets out in 2033 but the ability for level-headed decisions about continuing effectiveness on all prisoners is absolutely something we should emulate.
> remember kids I knew as a child who were just evil, such as cruelty to animals, violence towards females, etc for no logical reason and these are all people who ended up in prison for some crime or another.

Yes, but did you ever follow up to see if all of these people you knew as kids were still evil as adults?

I did a lot of crazy shit when I was younger that I would never do today. People do change as they grow older. And even if there are exceptions, that is not a valid reason to imprison any particular individual with no hope of redemption.
Citing China as an example of the success of globalism and free trade is an interesting choice.

They have a protectionist economy, and it was the most successful economy over the last forty years. China seems to have proven the benefits of protectionism.

And I'm arguing that sweatshop workers would have options other than "'sweatshop' or not working at all" if free trade weren't killing any opportunity they might have to develop local industries.

Their situation is not entirely unlike a small town in America when a WalMart opens, kills the local businesses, and the only remaining jobs are at WalMart.
I think there might be a use case for these jailbreaks that doesn’t have to do with games (and online updates) though. Scientific computing was a huge thing for PS3, though not sure if the price/performance is still there for the newer PSs, especially with limited availability.
From what I have seen in his timeline he is mad because someone has been impersonating him and Twitter support is refusing to do anything about it. Regardless, he doesn’t seem very stable.
Money. Nothing about it annoys me really, but while React is easy to get started with, it’s full of pitfalls à la C. So much of time when dealing with others’s, you see bad patterns everywhere. But it can be quite nice to work with as long you tailor the abstractions to your usage.

> Could the F-14 have been modernized, upgraded, and improved to still be flying today? Of course it could. But like the bringing the F-22 Raptor back from the dead… sometimes it would cost more to keep a really good older fighter than it would cost to design and build a great new one.

Is the F-35 considered "great" when compared to the F-22 Raptor? I was under the impression the Raptor was better in most ways, but also way expensive.

Disclaimer: I'm no expert on military aircraft, though I have visited the San Diego Air and Space Museum countless times.
Most of us have been the victim of some kind of crime at some point in our lives. The many times it's happened to me, I also considered the notion of empathy: namely that the criminal lacked it for me, the victim.

Not saying the current system is in any way an optimal solution or even close to it, but one thing it does provide is a lot of time for those who have acted without empathy to reflect on their misdeeds.
As a citizen of „2nd world“ country that had (and still has to some extent) it's share of being a sweatshop...

I'd rather say globalization is good for developing nations and the rich of the developed. It brings the middle class and labour of the world close together. Dragging down developed world a bit and enriching developing world a ton.

Now is the most interesting phase when developing world has developed somewhat, local elites grew up and now they'll start challenging „developed“ world elite.

It will be most interesting to watch developed world non-elites. Developing world is very happy with improvements and have the momentum. Meanwhile developed world is slowing down and it will be damn hard to turn the tide.

Source needed. From what I've read he will probably never be free, which makes sense since he is actively dangerous.
By default from git, not gitlab or github, it's just "Merge branch 'Branchname'".

I think the project in gitlab also has to be configured to include the merge request description, so it can also be easily missed. No idea about github.

To be fair, wokeness wasn't a thing in the 1990s.

IANAL and could be wrong here, but I don’t think it matters. Personal data is personal. Even if it’s posted publicly it’s still personal data. Email is personal data. Your name is personal data. Plus spam laws are a thing.

In any case, at the very least GDPR gives you a chance to delete your data. Hopefully so it doesn’t reappear either.
I like to think of a DAO as an organisation that is unkillable because there is no central control.

A centrally managed one sounds like a cooperative with more open policy.
Subsistence farming is what lot of these workers come from. The factories or even sweatshops might not be perfect, but with increased population they are preferable to working fields with all the risks that involve.
What's expensive and inflationary is regulatory capture and almost a trillion $ of annual subsidies to big agro. Small farms already feed the majority of the world, and are more productive already. We just need to stop subsidizing big farms buying up all arable land.
Do I understand correctly you're proposing to just run it on the outside of walls/ceilings? How would you ever again close doors that it needs to go through?

My aesthetic requirements are basically zero (to the dismay of my partner indeed; we meet in the middle) but I do want to be able to practically use the apartment still.
Infamous???

I haven't decided to sell. I asked if someone wants to acquire it.

There are currently no buyers, and I won't sell to just anyone.

I don't want this posted to Hacker News. Please flag this submission.
> how you all manage to keep your mental stability in balance?

I personally don’t anymore, and currently struggling to leave frontend development all together somewhere else (thinking of Golang). As other commenters have mentioned, React.js development wasn’t that complicated when it first was introduced to the public.
You mean there's a better way than "waiting for bug reports to trickle in"?
idk if he bought the domains and trademarks with his own name and also is the creator of Gitea, what’s the open source community is bitching about? It’s time we stop expecting things for free, devs need to get paid
What really hurts my soul is how cruel, unempathetic and bloodthirsty the American population as a whole is. We do a lot of things we normally wouldn't when we're afraid. So guess what? There are plenty who are willing and able to manipulate us by simply stoking fear. I wish more Americans were adept at recognizing this.

You see this with rhetoric about crime spiralling out of control (it isn't). Or that we need more police officers (we don't) or harsher sentences (we definitely don't). The US has 4% of the world's population but 25% of the world's prisoners. The US has the highest number of prisoners in the world (2.1 million) and the third highest (IIRC) incarceration rate as well as the highest incarceration rate.

If locking people up was the solution the US would be the safest country on Earth.

We treat prisoners as de facto slaves (eg [1]). Rape within prison [2] is effectively institutionalized as a means of systemic punishment. And of course we have examples of completely unjustifiable abuse of solitary confinement. Nobody should be put in solitary confinement (technically, administrative segregation or "ad seg"), as the author was, for a year.

Much of the spam sent to my business' email address doesn't even have an automated unsubscribe capability. The unsubscribe link is just a mailto: address, which I am convinced these shady operators use to indicate the mailbox is being watched and, thus, a good target for future mailings.

They go right into Fastmail spam and are scored accordingly.
> One thing I realized pretty quickly as a parent was how little control I have over my kid.

Exactly. And we can all think of those parents in our peer group who haven't figured this out. They are making themselves crazy miserable either fighting with their kids or scheming to manipulate them.
Hopefully this does not come across as whining (as i managed to escape the debt cycle), but this really seems like they're saying "the investment money train is over", which is just another slap in the face to my generation, who were already dealt a pretty crummy hand.
I only know of this thunderbolt version but I do not know how the linux support is. https://www.sonnettech.com/product/solo10g-sfp-tb3/overview.... . For SFP28 there seems to be nothing available at this time that would work via USB.
Offensive because you work at DD?
More accurately, the alternative is continuing to practice subsistence farming, which is not a great alternative.
Are you honestly saying that the man you know is statistically typical of stranger rape? Because you can't be saying that the fact that it has ever happened means that it rational for men and women to have equal levels of fear about it.

Because we all know that men rape men. Here's a question, though. Have you ever sat in a group of women fearing that you would be raped?
> The topics discussed on twitter are also far less niche and more current, politicians, celebrities, artists, companies all use it, so it mostly can't experience meltdown by changing its policies,

So this is actually a very interesting question to me, is this your gut or do you have data for this, I can certainly see why you say this, but based on all the people here who talk about how to “use twitter right” my gut was the opposite, certainly in terms of cultural relevance you are correct, but in terms of MDAU’s I assume twitter is mostly people following their “niche” (not as niche as tumblr” interests. Like for me that is music and software engineers/former coworkers, and decidedly not politicians and journalists. Twitter seems to have some exclusivity there but seems to compete heavily with Instagram in the artist/influencer space.
If the alternatives are:

- spend the majority of my life making things worse so that I can afford retirement, and then spend my retirement dealing with the consequences of having ignored "all other problems"

- die while saving up for my nth attempt to make things better

I think I'd prefer the latter.
This is a perfect caricature of the “how hard can it be?” tech startup mindset. Well done.

> Which would indeed have avoided this problem. This bait-and-switch is worse than just never having been able to use Pantone

I understand that you have ideologically strong feelings about this... But no.
The biggest reason I oppose the death penalty, but am less opposed to the other two is that the death penalty is irreversible. I think the death penalty is warranted for some crimes. I feel pretty good about executing someone like Jeffrey Dahmer, for example. What I don't feel good about is the certainty of our courts results. And until we have courts that produce perfect or near perfect verdicts, I wouldn't be comfortable employing an irreversible punishment.
As someone who got into photography relatively recently, if you’ve only used modern lenses, old (or extremely cheap) lenses can be really interesting to use as well. My 1970s Olympus 50mm f.14 or low budget Chinese f1.2 give me interesting colors and lens flares that I’ve never seen with modern lens designs.
I think the guy in solitary confinement would politely disagree.
Perhaps to highlight efforts in some threads here, I'm reading The Managed Heart by Arlie Hochschild. Besides considering emotional work, she speaks of feeling rules. The latter provides a term for rules of engagement, so to speak, we bring to incidental, causal and serious interactions. Based upon the view that emotions are socially-resolved, not merely interally-resolved, we never escape either emotional work or related rules of engagement.
> Just let every business maximize profits and everything will be good

Not quite right. You should have said maximize short-term profits.

As an example from forestry. If you manage sustainably, such that cutting resembles natural loss, your forest produces high-quality wood for centuries and also provides revenue from i.e. lodges, salmon, and carbon offsets.

So profit from that land over 100 years is X

Or you clear-cut it, and realized 1/10th of X in 5 years. And make the land very low value for the remaining 95.

The issue is short-term local optimization, as you claim.
As someone who does customer service/support (mostly online retail but occasionally get in-person pickups), friendly conversation is honestly a perk of the job.

I think advising people to avoid it because the staff can't escape or ask you to leave just sucks that little bit of joy out of life for not only the customer, but the server too.

Of course, "friendly conversation" is the keyword here. Nobody wants to be emotionally unloaded on, but at the same time chatting with regulars always makes your day.

It's important to pretend that's not true, because it makes men feel bad about themselves.
It means other parts of the economy must shrink. Population is no longer increasing which means every percentage of growth in one sector is offset by losses in another. There are only finitely many people and each person can only be in one sector at a time vs the previous regime where population growth meant every sector could grow concurrently by hiring from a growing population.

Modern capitalism requires an infinite supply of people to maintain economic growth. The model is entirely busted because it is at odds with physical constraints and dynamics of a finite planet. I personally consider the whole thing a collective delusion because infinite growth on a finite planet is a logical and physical impossibility. Unless everyone decides to live in VR where nothing matters then the economic models must at some point make a connection with reality and at that point it becomes obvious that the capitalist model of infinite growth is untenable unless there is a supply of people growing at a faster rate than whatever economic metrics are used to measure the real economy.
Thanks- I rarely consider upgrading my home systems until I think I have a good understanding of all the details and I see that fiber is still a mess (have to choose single mode versus multi mode and a number of other details).

Electric car production would have ground to a halt over the last 2 years in the face of a 15x increase in raw material costs if it accounted for 50% right? That doesn't seem to have happened.
Invoke, shared a few weeks ago, uses MIT and adheres to best practices in respecting model licenses/requirements (e.g., agreeing to not use it for hate speech, harming others, etc.)

Automatic on the other hand, seems actively opposed to responding to the calls (cries?) for him to clarify a license for the repo.

Surprising re shifts! More recently, the Navy has been biased towards day shifts due to carrier landing windows. My understanding is a big part of the Navy training/brief/debrief focus is the recovery.
I don't think anyone in this thread is claiming it's illegal; however, it could be considered unethical and, at a minimum, highly annoying. Also, many times the "unsubscribe" links do nothing more than generate a new email to the same sender, which in my opinion is often used to verify leads.
I don't think he even got close to adequately expressing what a horror it is. I've never been sent to the hole, but I've been to jail, and I know a lot of people who have been to prison. When they spend all day in a dark room with no outside contact, eat your "foodball" with no implements like an animal, and get beaten by guards without reason or recourse, people really do go insane. It's not legal, but very common to even deny prisoners in the hole their one hour per day outside. That's who-knows-how-long where the only light you see comes through the crack in the door and the only thing you hear is the demented howling of some crazy guy down the hall.
Unfortunately I have to be pretty intoxicated for this to happen, which isn’t making anyone smarter.
I'm currently in the process of literally tearing down walls in my old house (built in the 40's). I used to fear smashing into walls. Once you do a bit of drywall and mud yourself, you realize it isn't that big of a deal. Everything I've learned has been off YT videos and there are some excellent channels with all of the professional tips and tricks. It isn't rocket science by a long shot.
Show HN: Waddle – Like Wordle, but Harder
I don't reccomend Valis for anyone but the most diehard Dick fans. Its an attempt to fictionalize an experience Dick had and spent the rest of his life trying to understand. It has some great moments, but it doesn't hold together terribly well as a story. I much prefer more focused stories like Scanner Darkly, Flow My Tears, or even Divine Invasion.

Supposedly Dick's experience conceived three published novels--Valis, The Transmigration of Timothy Archer, and Divine invasion. There is a fourth, unpublished novel--Radio Free Albemuth that came from it as well. Valis seem to be the most personal since it someone named Philip Dick (or Horselover Fat) having the exact same experience then trying to make sense of it. Divine Invasion has more of the feel of a traditional Dick novel with someone forced to live in a hovel on an alien planet. Timothy Archer is borderline non-SciFi, with only a tiny influence of SciFi, IIRC. And Radio Free Albemuth felt a bit like a cross between Scanner Darkly and Valis--i.e. the Valis story in a dystopian future surveilance state.
Do any HN folks do Crossfit, or do burpees on any kind of regular basis? Seems like burpees would be the ideal application/exercise for implementing this.
The only reason you can't draw is because you haven't practiced(assuming you're not severely disabled). Why not work a little bit for your dreams?
I think of >1 GBps speeds as something that serves burst rather than streaming needs.

The use case isn't "I need it to watch youtube", but "I want to be able to restore from backup in hours rather than days", or "I want to play the latest Doom today and not tomorrow".

Eg, say you're backing up your data to a remote site. Great idea, but what if you need a restore, how long will that take? Downloading say, 100 TB on a 1 Gbps connection will take you more than a week.
I don't know who Andrew Tate is (some sort of conservative political commentator, I take it? no thanks...), but kickboxing hugely improved my life for the better. And for what it's worth, some of the best fighters in my class were women. They don't have the size and brute force advantage of men, and had to hold their own with skill, agility, and relentless training. They were also seemingly much healthier mentally/emotionally.

Fitness is a necessary (but maybe not sufficient) component of a healthy life. It does not replace meaningful relationships or good emotional skills, but it's a great starting place for sure! Especially for techie types that don't get out much

I'm fully vaccinated and boosted. I have loved magnets since before I can remember.

I would love to be magnetic. Anecdata: I'm not magnetic.

This sort of assertion baffles me. A large proportion of people are vaccinated. Some of them, like me, are observant and would notice such an effect. Also there's the prospect of Fame and fortune for discovering a phenomenon like this that entails new physics. Why make such obvious lies?
Of course he did.

The big news outlets are predictably starting to pick it up too. I wonder how many advertisers Twitter stands to lose from the ensuing shitstorm.
That update existed (F-14D) but the upgrades of 40+ year old airframes were deemed to be a pretty big waste of money when they could be spent on fully modernized designs that could be stealthy and require less maintenance and pilots.
Site says 2022, but I could have written this in 2007. With the addition of -- get the flash off the camera, and set the power manually. Off the camera makes the flash light define the shape of what you're shooting, and setting the power manually means no preflash -- so no blinks.

Personally, I went from the 50 to a 40/2.8 which had a much faster focus speed and better build quality -- and I basically never shot wide open anyway because the focus plane would be so narrow as to be unusable. And the 100/2, which was just an awesome lens, good color, shape, everything.

But in the intervening 15 years, DSLRs are now dead, mirrorless is hanging on, and basically, it's computational photography from phones. Best camera is the one you have and so that's where it's done. It doesn't hurt that Apple has more R/D budget for their phone than the entire legacy camera industry.

But given the prices of the 5d on ebay now, I might must pick up the camera I lusted for then and couldn't afford, so that it can spend time gathering dust on the shelf like the other DSLRs.
Lol, thanks. I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. What an absolutely terrible solution.
