> The latest Pixar stuff is pretty mediocre relative to what they were making a decade ago

What they were making a decade ago was Cars 2 and Brave.

Brave was pretty good, but I'm having a hard time seeing it as better than Soul, Luca, or Turning Red. And I'm having an even harder time seeing that for Cars 2.
I really wish people would stop conflating "speculating" with "investing." There is a world of difference between the two.

Until (or even if) the markets become stable somehow, "investing" and cryptocurrencies do not belong in the same sentence, ever.
It would be great to better understand how this compares to RTOS and FreeRtos.

E.g., if one wanted to build a baremetal version of a small programming language, like minilisp or Forth, what would one like to use ?

I would like to understand where the various implementations of rtos have been used in a production settings, is this one stable enough to use ?

This rtos seems pretty small, but documentation seems mostly in Chinese, e.g.

https://github.com/RT-Thread/rt-thread/tree/cca2f40ae05a6eff...

Some code seems from older code bases:

https://github.com/RT-Thread/rt-thread/blob/cca2f40ae05a6eff...

It's hard for a person new to embedded RTOSes to judge the stability or capabilities of a project like this.

Overall, its great to see projects like this sprouting up!

Marketing was responding to toy stores gendering the aisles; can't get on the shelf if the store doesn't know where to put your product.

I'm not sure what stores were responding to. Possibly the public.
What about institutions that owe FTX and Alameda Research money? Didn't FTX and Alameda invest in companies as well.. and will those companies still owe a percentage of those investments in order to liquidate money?
I think Musk is mistaken or intentionally misrepresenting...the idea is that Twitter has a $13 million-per-year contract with its food vendor. But, due to the Covid pandemic and the acceleration of remote work, many employees have stopped coming to the office and taking advantage of the free meals...so, he's dividing the total contract value by the average number of employees now badging in at the office instead of the total number of employees during normal times.
Most net flow of economic activity where real currency is involved is not 'scams, laundering, gambling, and crime'. They definitely make up less than 10% of the real economy, probably less than 5%.

Meanwhile, the real economy of crypto seems to be coin issuers and early adopters and platform operators fleecing later entrants, with a generous helping of outright theft.
Yes, it's stretching the definition. The fact that consumers are buying plenty of things that will wear out soon is not evidence of planned obsolescence. It is evidence that consumers prefer those products over those that last longer (probably because they are cheaper).
The old adage definitely applies here: The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.

I know my own life perfectly fine. You have this belief the entire west is self isolating, which shows where you’re coming from in this argument.

Name a tangible effect Brexit had on my life, just one. Not theoretical things like political isolation and the like.

I will give you the Ukraine bit, that has impacted me, but I have zero influence over a war on the other side of the globe. Worrying about it is a waste of my time.
Lol yes, but don’t forget about MS Access.

This is from a few years ago, but I heard that JPM (at the time) had over 20k MS Access database on their file servers.

The company I worked for had over 12k. I was able to reduce the count by a good chunk by automating a lot of processes and moving workloads to sql queries that retrieved data from our data warehouses, but still a boatload.

The world is run on horribly formatted spreadsheets.
The idea that schools get to use 18 year olds as unsecured loans to build out extravagant facilities.

Then those 18 year olds grow up, can't pay back the loan, so the government uses bailing them out as a political bargaining chip.
I have only ever known boiler plate code as that kind of code that is needed to stitch things together, initialize libraries and so on. So not exactly copy/paste, but rather "formulaic" code that has not yet been deemed worthy of an abstraction

At the risk of ruining a joke, the sum of all numbers representable by a signed n-bit integer using 2's complement is -2^(n-1).

-2^(n-1) is the only negative number that does not have a positive counterpart in this representation.
I don't know I've always developed remote on the server but remoting in on a workstation and stream the desktop to develop just feels really alien and only shows that our tooling is really shitty if we can't offload the number crunching with ease.
Ask HN: What is your RSS set-up?
My news diet consists of the following:

* email newsletters (substack)

* selected articles (a lot from Hackernews)

* I also subscribe to some promotional newsletters (events, certain products). Not sure how I would fit these

However, I have been struggling with keeping my inbox clean and readable with the newsletters and am considering to switch to an RSS reader. I have several criteria:

1. I need to be able to add one-off articles to the reader (such as finding an interesting article on Hackernews for later consumption).

2. I would love to be able to add rules. For example, if I don't read an article for several days, I would like it to disappear from my inbox (archived) or be marked as read so it doesn't clog my reading.

3. Needs to be accessible on computer (web/app) and mobile (ideally via app).

Would love to hear how other people manage this. I'm also happy to pay for a good solution here.

Non-profit charities are required to file tax paperwork, and there are many scrapers for the information.

See https://www.charitynavigator.org/ or https://www.charitywatch.org/

Charity Navigator can be overly generous with their composite scores, but you can drill down to the specifics.

E.g. that WMF takes 25% of donations off the top for admin/advertising expenses: https://www.charitynavigator.org/ein/200049703

As opposed to, say, the Atlanta Community Food Bank, which operates with <5% overhead: https://www.charitynavigator.org/ein/581376648

If you're going to donate, make sure they're actually going to the cause.

The one big problem I have with this (and I do take notes after some types of conversations with for example first dates through fifth dates to remember important things about people), is that I fear that if I truly took good notes on conversations with loved ones that if the data ever gets leaked / hacked that I've just 1000% fucked everyone I've spoken to and took notes about, if I record anything that is highly personal and private to them.

Pedantic, but "plotting to kidnap a governor" can (and should) be shortened to "plotting to kidnap". The job of the person they were targeting is related to the crime only tangentially via their motives. The crime of kidnapping would be a crime regardless of whether they did it for politics, money, or fun. Adding "a governor" makes it seem as if you believe governors are more important than other people, and that kidnapping them should be punished more harshly. That's totally antithetical to a democratic society free of discrimination.
Healthy, low-prep information meals
The only way I'd do that is if the client gave me 10 mins of work one day, followed by 10 mins of work the next and nothing else. Otherwise I'd just work 20 mins and bill an hour. More often however they are giving me 40 hours of work per week and I bill 40 hours, even if not every single hour is doing "focused work", and some of it may be downtime. Just like any employee who gets a salary.

I've been a contractor full time for almost 15 years with dozens of different clients big, small and in between. You tend to get a feel for what clients want and/or need and what they don't. Mostly clients just want help getting work done and as long as you're meeting their deadlines and are pleasant to work with, they don't care that how much time you bill (as long as it's not more than 40 hrs per week).

I'm not advocating for taking advantage of clients, but I am advocating for being realistic with running your own business. If you're only billing 10 min stretches you won't be in business for long. Clients understand this. It's just part of doing business.

> Judging by the deep partisan slant on [2], "extreme environmentalists" could mean literally anything.

You can say the same for the generalities that Tides uses to describe their mission. "Immigrant Rights" for instance could mean anything from helping legal immigrants get access to resources, to funding caravans of illegal aliens from Central America through Mexico and into the US to make false asylum claims. Depending on which type of immigrant rights we're talking about, support will vary greatly. That goes for every single claim they make, so without seeing the actual specific programs it's hard to make a clear judgment, which is by design.

But more importantly, if people want to donate to those types of causes they should do so directly, not have to worry about donations made to Wikipedia being funneled into these sorts of things. If it's not legally fraud, it should be.
This is such a weird answer. First, the Battlestar Galactica was also featured in the original series. It's the focal point of both series, the namesake, etc.

And I don't think Hatch had anything to do with the design of the ships. He was hired as an actor for the first series and while he tried to get a continuation of the original going, he never got there. Then eventually was incorporated in the re-imagined series as a recurring character.

Like, it's part right and part wrong and part weird.

Edit:

Also, technically, the original series could exist in the same continuity as the re-imagined series. In the re-imagined series, it's revealed that all of this takes place in Earth's distant past. In the original series, it's revealed that the show is actually taking place in the present. In both cases, the final destination is our Earth.

IIRC this is correct, but the model got a bit tripped on "unobservable" vs "observable"

Kind of interesting (or maybe not) that the content is good, but that kind of detail is not.

Question: What is size of the universe?

Answer: The size of the universe is a subject of debate. The observable universe is the portion of the universe that we can observe from Earth, and is estimated to be 93 billion light-years in diameter. The observable universe is much smaller than the universe as a whole, which is estimated to be 13.8 billion light-years in diameter.

The universe is the entire collection of matter and energy in the universe.

Apple's phone app has one HUGE design failure: touching anything in the app will dial a number immediately.

I have accidentally called back phone spammers. It made elderly parents scared to use their phone. I've had many many friends butt-dial me.

There should absolutely be an option that is on, or can be enabled: confirm before calling.

In the case of emergency calling, they should figure out how to confirm before calling. I'm sure apple has some scenario in mind where it has to be the way it is now, but I think there should be a way.

At a minimum, opting into the current behavior should train the user how calls are initiated and what options are available.

I don't think this is quite right. Matt is saying that the Serum wasn't exchanged for customer money -- it was more or less created out of thin air. He suggests that most of FTX's magical crypto assets like Serum were created for < 1 billion of customer money. He points out that we don't know from the balance sheet where they flushed the $16billion of investments. (It does seem like a lot of it went to Alameda, but not in exchange for Serum. And we still don't know how Alameda lost all the money it lost.)
The post you're replying to is just trying to get around HN's rules for calling people a racist or anti-Semite directly. So instead there's two groups of people, and one thinks this, and I'm not in the other one...

This, totally. That's the reason for me too.

They do good work but the way they ask really ticks me off. And it's been like this forever, when they still featured the sad-sam Jimmy Wales pic.

"The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them ... shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence recognised by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking ... such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area."

This is notable for what it doesn't include: anything beyond a vague agreement to "assist" as individually deemed necessary. If Russia were to invade Poland the rest of NATO could fulfill their Article 5 obligation by protesting strenuously.

Lisp is both low-level and high-level at the same time. Common Lisp has more than the power of modern Python and Go combined, and the language is concise - it has about a tenth of Python's size.

Just as examples, Common Lisp supports arbitrarily-long integers, low-level bitwise operations like popcount, rational and imaginary numbers as well as, say, POSIX file operations or easy calling into C functions. It has things like list comprehensions, pattern matching, and dictionaries, and full Unicode support since a long time.

It supports both procedural and functional-style programming, and is, like Rust, a child of the language families which stem from the Lambda calculus, where everything is an expression. The latter is an extremely valuable property because you can replace any expression in lisp code with a function or its value, even if it is an if-statement.

It has still facilities which other languages do not have, like built-in support for symbols, which are used similar to interned strings and keywords in Python.

At the same time, Common Lisp is extremely mature. For example, it is possible to define and use error handlers, which is a generalization of exceptions, and is useful in library code. Or while other languages have only local and global variables, nothing in-between, Lisp allows to define parameters, which are global values, that however can be modified in the scope and call stack of a certain function call, similar as environment variables can be inherited and changed in sub-processes of a program.

And it compiles to quite fast native code, which Python can't.

Here is an introduction to Racket, which is a dialect of Scheme - I think it shows quite nicely the uniformity and simplicity of Lisps: https://docs.racket-lang.org/quick/

That's a battle they never won.

the number of projects that require the scaling factor of something like this is very small. git with lfs scales very well for most repositories. That said the actual flow of git is pretty raw. There are other pretty solid projects out there that support undo commands into git.

The current legal issue around the Internet Archive's library came to a head because IA decided to remove restrictions on lending. They changed from the "we have one copy, so we lend one copy" model that libraries follow to "we have a one copy, so everyone can have a copy at the same time" for a period of time.

Had they not done that, the publishers knew they faced an uphill battle because of the first-sale doctrine. But once Pandora's box was opened, the publishers saw their chance to stamp out the whole thing by arguing "well they did it once, what's to stop them from doing it again?"

IA made a well-intentioned but ill-advised decision.
