From experience just maintaining a private 1000+ package overlay to nixpkgs, this sounds super fraught, at least for any of the scenarios most typically interesting to developers, like wanting a backport of some library version that just landed to your otherwise-stable months old pin of nixpkgs.

For a lot of the most important ones, though, nixpkgs already maintains multiple recent versions, though— fifteen boosts in there right now: https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=unstable&from=0&si...
Or…it’s separating the wheat from the chaff
I disagree. I think most tech workers identify more with their employers and their class than their own status and that of their colleagues. They’re moving up, fast, and they’re satisfied with their prospects more than anything they might get from solidarity.

In Marxist terms, lumpenproletariat is a close approximation, but a weird accident of history.

Bots are only a problem if they do something you don't like.
The technological advantage is meaningless though. Anyone wealthy enough can set up the same tech solution, so it's just as fair. The wealthiest get the tickets in both cases

The unfairness remains, in that who gets to go to the concert is decided by who can spend the most in going to it.

If fairness is what you care about, any auction system is irrelevant
The market for concert tickets currently starts out "influenced" by the fact that the face value (for popular acts) is well below the market-clearing price. And people hate this system, because it attracts resellers who naturally see an easy profit opportunity, these resellers aggressively obtain the majority of all tickets through a variety of back channels, leaving very few actually available to be purchased at the face value. And, because keeping face value below market-clearing price means there is more demand than supply, this system, for various reasons, led to a single company monopolizing the sale of tickets and charging massive, unavoidable fees, which people hate even more.

If we actually were letting tickets be un-influenced, they would be sold via some kind of auction or like an IPO.

The point is not that you can't influence the market, it's that the market is simply a natural phenomenon that will strongly resist every attempt at diminishing it with counter-effects that may be unpopular, unwanted, unfair and unintended.
Same platform, but I thought the manufacturing process was more stringent to increase the quality to luxury brand levels?
I hope this doesn't come off critical - but what does this offer over a flakes-based `devShell` with `nix develop`?

The two things that stand out that maybe look slightly easier are the processes section, and the pre-commit hooks sections - but from what I can tell these are generally all solveable via native flakes.

Just curious - if this is a valuable tool to add to the arsenal, I'm all for it, but I'm curious what the strong selling points are here over what is already available.
I remember this from using redbean for something a few months ago, it's a known limitation of that project. The redbean docs say to just do `bash -c './redbean.com -v'`. It also says they upstreamed patches but no more information; maybe it got merged and updating zsh would work? No idea tho.

It’s very long and dry. I recommend balance it with installing some flashy packages like selectrum, company-mode, and eglot. The wonder created from using incredible packages helps fuel and direct the drudgery of learning the nitty gritty.

Btw If you try to learn emacs in iphone or ipad, iSH and a-shell both give you an escape key and control-key. Hence no emacs default key mode. Guess I can try boon or evil. But you know just 3 keys or basically 4 is not that user-friendly for newbie.

Three steps towards a computing language
They seem to often be successful when the goal is to disrupt or compete with a very moribund but entrenched industry.

A few recent examples: Travis Kalanick vs the Taxi medallion cartel, Elon Musk vs a space industry that stopped innovating after Apollo (and to a lesser extent getting EVs over the adoption hump), Steve Jobs 2.0 (the return) vs ugly beige box PCs.

In all cases you have industries very set in their ways dominated by strong but stolid and conservative personalities and a lot of innovation being held back.

All the conquistador really has to do is gallop in and show what is possible. They have to execute well enough to do that. It doesn’t have to be excellence, but it often looks like excellence against a backdrop of mediocrity.

Take SpaceX for example. Old school NASA in the 50s and 60s or Lockheed Skunk Works in the same era were far more innovative. SpaceX looks superhuman today against the backdrop of an industry that had totally gone out to pasture.

Apple paired good industrial design with what is basically a polished consumer grade analog of a Linux desktop and looked revolutionary against ugly metal cans and chunky laptops running Windows. The iPhone was a bit higher on the innovation scale but also wasn’t wholly original, but damn did it cook when compared to flip phones.

But when you get past that disruption phase the conquistadors often fall down. We don’t get to see how Jobs would fare today because the torch was passed to Tim Cook, a solid operator. Musk is floundering with Tesla now that the EV market is full of strong competitors and it remains to be seen if SpaceX will hold it together. Kalanick’s Uber is a money bonfire but people still love it because Taxis suck.
This looks too simple to be usable -- it just checks that anything is connected at all... Shorted wires? Crossed wires? will still light up as good.

And there is no support for USB3 eMarker, which is pretty crucial as that's how your laptop decides if it should charge or not.

It’s startup cosplay, made for public consumption and Elon ego boosting.
I've never done an "all nighter" in 30+ years and never will. I value my time and if a company is expecting such a commitment then they're taking liberties with understaffing projects.

Lying: Moral Choice in Public and Private Life by Sissela Bok

Miss that. And might try it next round. Love the zen and the motorcycle book.
So I concocted another approach, starting from a foundation as small as possible and defining a small set of bricks with which to build the data and control structures common to all languages, which will always serve as a guide in their learning. You will forget lambdatalk, the language that accompanies me in this journey, but you will keep in mind the essential concepts that underlie the act of coding. At least I hope so.

Your opinion is welcome.
I took two print shops digital, one before and one after Mac/Aldus/Adobe etc., so I'm getting enjoying this thread.

Nearly wrote "Maybe no license fees to map 271 year old color names in Adobe PSD files?" but thought that might be too obscure for HN. Apparently not. :-)

Good education below. To thread's point, in both cases (the watercolors, and Pantone), the work is in determining repeatable formulations, and building/maintaining a reference. It's inane, though, given the rest of ecosystem is licensed, to suddenly charge for the map in a PSD to keep working or go to black.
Lots of comments on how hackathons and late night sessions were fond memories for people.

The difference is those events were chosen. If you are forced to remain at your company (due to visa issues for example) being forced by your CEO to stay at work until 1am is atrocious.

This is not a profession where being at the office this late is the norm and it's not typical for the environment.

Twitter is not a startup in any way shape or form. It was clearly just valued at 44 billion dollars, no startup is worth that much ;).

This is an executive abusing his power, forcing individuals to do as they say. There is little choice and free will being exercised.

Maybe some of the people do want to be there and are happy to do so; I don't believe this is the case. It is naive to think it would be.

Hackathons, staying up late working on a passion or hobby by choice can be fun. Being forced to for your profession and by the new CEO who has fired and caused over 70% of the company to leave doesn't fall under that category.
A moral compass where saving soldier's lives has little value is possible, though if you truly believe in that, it's a bit unwise to brag about it on HN.

Since the usual standard of modern day western society is that a soldier's life, including Ukranian soldiers, is worth quite a bit.

You can still choose to do practice or stories.

Classic ASP used VBScript, not VB6. These two are closely related but not quite the same.

And the answer really depends on what you mean by "run on". .NET already supports two-way COM interop, and it does work with DLR to handle stuff like IDispatch. But the COM code in that scenario is still native (or, in case of VBScript, intepreted by its Active Scripting provider).

Implementing VBScript, or even VB6, as a language running entirely on top of .NET, is certainly possible, although it would be somewhat awkward because the object model in VB pre-.NET was specifically designed around COM. You can port the templating engine, as well. But the real hurdle is not the language - it's all the APIs. ASP itself was pretty basic, but most web apps would also need to talk to the database - so now you need ADO. And then there are all the third-party components, most of which were proprietary binary blobs compiled for 32-bit Windows.

And, well, why? There are many better languages running on top of .NET these days, starting with VB.NET.
Or possibly you just get whatever font _didn’t_ have an atime too far in the future. Of course, now that you have actually opened and read the file, you will have changed the atime and thus might have made it unavailable the next time you run Steam.

Honestly, everyone should run their filesystems with the `noatime` option set, so that they never record access times at all. We very rarely care about when files are accessed. Usually we care most about when a file was last _modified_, the mtime, so this loses us almost nothing and saves a huge amount of writes to the filesystem at the same time.
changing

typedef time_t int32_t

to

typedef time_t int64_t

does not change your api

openbsd tends to be respectful to the api

however the binary interface changes every couple of weeks. and they have a flag day(breaking incompatible change) every year or so.

As such, actions that are unthinkable on linux, like an abi flag day. The openbsd project has gotten really good at handling, after all, if you break stuff all the time you get good at picking up the pieces. to misquote Raul Julia "For you, linux, the day your abi changed was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday."

This means that the openbsd project is exceptionally unfriendly to binary only programs(commercial software), As much as I like openbsd I would not even try.
Notion's weekly todo-list template works well for me, been using it for the past coulpe years. Checkboxes are simple enough, and any block can be converted into a nested page if you need to go into more detail.
I wonder if there was some kind of local port re-use for an in game chat system? Maybe they built it off of some common IRC implementation?

> Now I'm imagining a Truffle Mafia/ Mushroom Cartel, with mushroom goon squads, fungi warehouses, and done up in gaudy suits & ostentatious furs.

It exists in Italy and France, who cash in on the point of origin of truffles, but it's a total free-for-all in Croatia where truffles can be had for remarkably cheap by contrast in Istria.

I'm told when everything was shut down in 2020 they were practically giving them away in Croatia since the prices collapsed without anything but a small local demand to sustain it, and how Italian vendors were finding ways to cross and take the excess supply to artificially maintain the prices and avoid arbitrage, now this is all speculative and needs to be taken with a grain of salt, but I know from personal experience from running a kitchen in Istria that black truffles late into the winter season can be had for a pittance than whatever can be found out of season in the Spring/Summer/Fall because most local restaurants are closed and the hassle of exporting them is often not worth the trouble of just offloading them despite EU membership (this was in 2013 when it had just joined).

In many ways I think this will be one of the few Industry's to benefit from Schengen the most now that Croatia is entering it in 2023, before you had to wait in a rather long line to cross, but now a quick trip 1-2 hour round trip from Koper or Triste (all with decent plane/train options) can be the only thing that is required to take advantage of this price arbitrage in the Winter and then pass them off as Italian and a significant markup.

You can likely pay a Croatian to negotiate and settle a price with the vendor and then have them drive/bus to Italy or Slovenia for less than what it takes to buy locally despite the high fuel prices right now because of this markup--which to me is reminiscent of how it was cheaper to import grain from Egypt and bake the bread than it was to have a local do so in Rome during the height of the empire.
Two things, I set this up long ago before tunable bulbs were cheap, and the single tunable bulb I checked out subsequently didn't emit just orange, it had some blue.
Nah. The sports car market has long relied on cross-subsidy from mass market vehicles.

Ferrari was dying until Fiat bought it. Lamborghini would have died without Audi. Porsche would have died multiple times without VW - and relied on VW components throughout its entire history. American sports and muscle cars were made by the Big Three, and used V8s made for other vehicles.

Without that investment, it will be impossible for sports car makers to make vehicles that meet contemporary roadworthiness standards.

Not to mention that you won’t be able to sell them in the EU, California, New York, and China beyond 2035. Doesn’t leave much of a market.

Maybe there will be a residual business selling ICE sports cars to Middle Eastern plutocrats in 2035, but those plutocrats may have more urgent things on their minds given the long-term demand for oil and gas is headed one way.

800+ day streak here and top 2% user according to last years statistics. I have taught myself Spanish using just Duolingo to a pretty decent level where I can now follow along with a decent amount of TV.

I have been using the new path for the last few months and can categorically state that it is much more effective for learning. Duolingo are aligning themselves with proper educational frameworks, baking in scientifically proven spaced repetition and paving the way for more diverse modes of communication such as email conversations and stories with interconnected plot lines.

A Data Processing Error Changed Our Deluxe Forecast
The article says that the announcement that fans couldn't drink beer was a reversal of a previously stated policy. Was this not the case, or can you explain why people should have expected that the previous policy statement shouldn't have been taken seriously? Given the precedent the articles cites of Brazil literally changing national laws based on FIFA lobbying, it's not obvious why the assumption should have been that the previous policy was either in error or an an attempt to pressure Qatar that would inevitably fail rather than it being an announcement of a deal that was worked out behind closed doors and the parties wanted to keep out of the spotlight.
What is interesting to me is that these questions never arise of eg. South Korea.
Of all the scenarios with Twitter in the last several months where people talk past each other, this is the one I am most confused by.

You got startup CEOs (not just Elon Musk brownnosers) talking about how some of the most innovative things get built at startups.

Which is true! Big, world-changing ideas, don't get built 9-5. And especially if you have some competitive advantage, you need to rush to market, to beat the others.

But Twitter is (was) a 40+ Billion dollar company. None of the people in this photo have any reasonable equity (the kind that makes people work nights and weekends in the hope that an IPO makes them a millionaire). And Twitter has a massive network effect of the kind meaning that if you don't screw it up (and god is Elon trying), none of these people are going anywhere.

I can understand that it's in Musk's interest to create a reality distortion field and convince the employees that they need to stay and go Hardcore so that he can create the American Weechat, or whatever he's got in mind.

But what do the other CEOs that are swooning over this have to gain except a dry run for also starting to treat their employees like garbage...

Infertile women? 1 in 10.

Women who’ve had their ovaries removed? 200k per year.

Women who’ve had their uteruses removed? 400k per year.

Women born without a uterus? 1 in 4500 or about 900k women in the world.

Women who are born without a uterus and ovaries? About 7% of those born without a uterus so 63k women worldwide.

But you know what the definition destroying counter evidence is? That if current estimates are accurate that about 1 in 100 people are trans. If trans people were rarer it would be easier to argue that they should just be an asterisk.

Edit: For my own curiosity I wanted to see if being trans would qualify as a rare disease and apparently the FDA’s threshold is 1 in 200k.
