I kinda assumed you were referring to Trump (?)

But my point all along has been that "youtube personality getting house firebombed" != "ridiculous authoritarianism in Australia".

If you are arguing against this point, I may need you to explain further.
Many of my commands start identically but continue and end differently. Here C-r (or ^R if you prefer) is the most convenient.

Sending a looong command to your editor for modification via C-x C-e is also convenient sometimes.
So this isn't meant at all to provide an analogy, as it's a different circumstance. But I'm curious about your personal opinion. Someone has curable cancer (but definitively imminently fatal), but they irrationally reject treatment saying "the stars aren't aligned properly for it" or some nonsense like that. OK to tie them down and cut out the cancer? I'm always curious where people draw the line for when force is ok to use to make someone do the 'better' or more life-giving thing.

It would be odd indeed if it was OK to stop the dying only if they intentionally performed the action that led to their (imminent) death, but not OK to stop the dying if it was caused by something like a disease.

Yeah, anecdotally I order pizza online all the time and it has been years since I've ordered from Papa Johns, Pizza Hut, or Dominos. By far the most popular pizza in my state comes from a local gas station chain, Casey's. And there are plenty of local pizza shops that get huge business from online sales. I'd be shocked if those three shops accounted for even half of the online pizza sales in my whole state.

Maybe those chains are much more popular elsewhere, but I really doubt it's enough to dominate the market as much as this article suggests.

Oh boy. This is a fascinating read. I wrote about Tailwind css as an abstraction layer. But I use some of the same reasons as OP to convey why it is great.

This really was an interesting read. It shows the same thing can be seen as good and bad by different folks.

TBF he mentions NEET-dom (having picked up a GED as a side quest) so I'm pretty sure he's composed far fewer graded written works than most of us had at his age; maybe even at half his age.

Edit: for those who prefer stories told by professionals, there's https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-63709446 ... but I felt this one, with its focus on the online world, was far, far, more HN-relevant.

If you're upper-middle class or wealthier, I think you're right that the cost can be budgeted.

I just Googled the median US rent ($1,771). Based on that, if you frame the expense as an added 2 - 4 months rent per year, I'm guessing there are a lot of people forgoing therapy because the immediate cost is too high.

I wish I could choose where my taxes were allocated. I'd subsidize cost of therapy.

To really drive this home, one of my own memories is my mom (ashamed, embarrassed, depressed) asking to borrow money from me to pay our bills. I was 9. She had issues, I inherited a few, and I've only recently been able to drop 5-10 dimes on therapy each year to sort it out. Money well spent!

But I wonder how my mom would've fared if even an AI facsimile of therapy were available to her cheap, instead of other cheap coping mechanisms. Churches and drugs are the cheapest coping tools available in the US.
Ironic perhaps that this was the wartime work of B.F. Skinner, who went on to develop the theory of operant conditioning (he invented the 'Skinner Box' which trains animals... usually pigeons... to push a button to obtain a reward. [1])

That work was of course famously the underpinning of the fast, addictive, reward
driven mobile games industry, which gave us Angry Birds, in which... pigeons once again are used as missiles.

The circle is complete.

I don't feel like I deserved a passing grade for the amount of knowledge I walked away from the course with, but I didn't question it.

As I've matured intellectually, I realize that not every course is a neat parlor trick you can regurgitate on a whiteboard 5 years after the fact having only attended the lectures, at least I don't have that gift.

I guess it is just that I couldn't find myself bewildered by any of the content, so as to want to encode it, a "great, something else to look up" mindset.

This isn't about 'regulation', this is about industry using the government as a money piñata.

Once cheap money starts flowing into a system, it spreads and makes everything else more expensive.

Think of the flood of cash from the Corona Stimulus Bill, $8 trillion dollars rained down on the economy which eventually worked it's way through the system resulting in a massive flood of unprecedented inflation affecting all sectors.
Strong disagree. You don't need "systematic origins", you need systematic violence for it to be genocide. Compare, say, the Holodomor or the Armenian genocide, to what's happening to blacks and trans people. They are not similar.

I would not add such access to your turnkey SAAS instrastructure. Perhaps you can offer a read-replica as an add-on but the headache will be massive when it comes to CI/CD with little ROI for most of your customers.

This is an opportunity, I think, for you to sell an Enterprise Appliance version of your application at 1000X the price. Such whales (customers willing to pay for custom BI) can host it internally, in a private-cloud or as a manged private-cluster (copy). If you go add-on replica route - then perhaps replicating data to Analytic Database with nosql type storage format will be ideal in solving schema problems and decoupling the access.
I've gone down a rabbit hole from the microcontroller discussion a few days ago. I was thinking of various wireless communication methodologies (Bluetooth, Zigbee, WiFi, etc. etc.) when suddenly a link pointed out that IR / TV Remote Controls were in fact wireless communications.

I began to look into it, and IrDA opened up my nostalgia. It reminded me of the simpler times in the 90s and 00s when PDAs, Gameboys, and even Tamagachi would communicate with each other with this infrared-light based protocols.

My dad even had infrared wireless headphones (to watch TV while my mom was sleeping). I've tried them back in the day, they were pretty reliable actually.

------

IrDA had some ambitions, you can see in this Linux HOWTO that there's ways to set up networking stacks and far faster protocols (4MBit and 16Mbit) over this infrared communication stack. It looks like the IrDA group continued to make standards all the way up to 1 Gbps, but I don't think it ever really became popular. Or maybe that was around the time Bluetooth started to take over?

For modern hobby electronic engineers, maybe IrDA still has a place? The lowest, simplest, layer of the IrDA protocol is FIR, a 115,200 baud almost-like UART protocol that is in fact, well supported in modern ATTiny, MSP430, and STM32 devices (!!!), with just a $4 led+phototransistor combo: https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/vishay-semiconduc...

It seems like its just a UART that communicates over infrared light, maybe 10cm to 2 or 3 meters away reliably? I think TV Remotes can go even further (with the 38kHz TV Remote protocol), but IrDA's UART is supremely flexible (indeed; UARTs are probably one of the easiest to use comms on these tiny microcontrollers).
I had this experience a couple of weeks ago at an authorised repairer. They asked for my password, and I refused, but I was curious. So I said, "I'm surprised you're allowed to ask" and the guy said, "We're allowed to ask, but we're not allowed to insist".

A few years ago my bank would ring me up every couple of weeks and say "Hi, I am calling from your bank, we want to talk to Doctor Eval(), can you please verify your date of birth and we can get started?". They would get so pissed off when I wouldn't tell them. I was like, "how do I know you're from my bank?". (Banks seem to have stopped doing this now).

For companies which should be putting security at the centre of their business, they apparently have no idea that they're normalising phishing.
The lockdowns may not be about COVID after all. Most but not all people think the harm from lockdowns outweighs the potential benefits considerably. It may instead be used to control and restrict its populace. People that are undesirable to the gov’t could get their tests marked positive and be forced to lock down.*

Card games are generally played with 10-20 cards once you hit your mid/endgames. I can't think of a system where you'd have mechanical benefit of all those being epaper before you should go full digital. Having a few choice mechanics tied to them is the way to go.

What does epaper get you that paper doesn't? A microprocessor and persistent state. RFID cards on a board game might be a good middle state for most cards. Scan them as played. Build gamestate or dynamics to be populated to epaper.

Epaper would be good for storyline branches, timeline progressions, evolving characters. Make them traveling characters being owned by different players. Differentiate them from becoming a static scoreboard that could be represented on a single tablet.
yea but that’s immaterial in the broader scheme. How do you transport someone who is incapable of transporting themselves to lifesaving treatment? Who pays for chemo? Etc.

Disappointing historical treatment. Not a single mention of the molasses trade, i.e. brewing rum, which was the real alcohol business of the era. This involved a lot of smuggling trade with the British East Indies, and problematically for the Crown, with French sugar producers as well.

Source: Grande (2016) "Yankees in Haiti: Boston Merchant Trade in Revolutionary Saint-Domingue"

> "Future patriot leaders such as Samuel Adams, for example, joined the merchants
in their protests against the Sugar Act. In a letter to a Massachusetts customs agent, Adams expressed many Bostonians’ uneasiness “at several Acts of Parliament lately made, by which their Trade is greatly obstructed.” Should these acts stay in place, Adams feared that colonial trade “must soon be ruined.” Adams linked the potential ruin of the Boston economy to Parliament’s enhanced customs procedures and the new duty on foreign molasses. He argued that the “English West India Islands do not produce sufficient for the Consumption and Trade of the Continent,” and that the “Duty of three Pence per Gallon on foreign Molasses amounts to a full prohibition, and must soon put a Stop to that Branch.” In other words, the duty on foreign molasses would force Boston merchants away from foreign colonies like Saint-Domingue and to the British West Indies; and the dearth of molasses exported by the British sugar islands would spell the end to Boston’s rum industry."

> "Adams continued by asserting that damage to the molasses trade would affect
other industries as well. First and foremost would be the fishing industry. He described the molasses trade and fishing industry as “mutual Supports to each other.” Boston merchants had long been accustomed to trading fish for molasses in Saint-Domingue. If confined to the British West Indies, then the highly productive New England fisheries would suffer from low fish prices due to chronic oversupply. A failing New England fishery would mean added unemployment in an already depressed economy."

I work for a low-profile fintech, 100% remote, since 2018. I see no particular need to move elsewhere.

I appreciate that it's a task that actually has real customers and revenues, in a firm that's about 20 years old and showing profitability and growth. It doesn't look like there's signs of "oh, the acquisition we were building towards vanished and we ran out of runway, kthxbai, grab a few logo T-shirts on the way out." In particular, I like the spot I'm currently at because it's sort of the firm's core competence, so I'm in the centre of real value generation.

It also keeps me well away from front end, which I should not be allowed near due to a personal design sense that is, at best, Soviet.

I could probably make more money elsewhere, but I hate interviewing and tooting my own horn. I only grudgingly left my last position (10 years on) when it became abundantly obvious the firm was in terminal death throes. They were clearly in a "how much do you need electricity" phase of operations. I brought in a pizza for lunch for my team, and there was a distinct "I haven't eaten in three days" vibe coming from some of them. When I left, they had shorted me at least 9000 USD in unpaid salary.
Well, you could also 'just' put an iPad in the middle of the table for public game state (like turn, flop river in Poker), and everyone has their smartphone for private game state (like your hand in Poker) and you can play most boardgames quite nicely.

Instead of the iPad in the middle you could use a TV screen, too, but then you can't directly interact with that via touch screen.
This example is a good demonstration of my point: when the copyrighted digital work is not made artificially scarce, it is worthless.
Prior to digital copying, that scarcity was not artificial; it actually cost people money to copy and distribute things and those people more often than not were trying to see what they copied.

Someone was distributing that movie for free because the movie did not have value in a market.
Fighting Apple over "freedom of speech" would be a huge loss for Republicans. Apple has the moral high ground. It could tag Republicans as giving support for child molesting, human trafficking, and all the other horrible ways unrestricted speech can harm innocent people. This would be horribly damaging to the entire Republican Party. If the Republicans seek to avoid the "freedom of speech" issue, Apple could smear them with it anyway.

The AMD 2900 was, in fact, how the Xerox Star was built. You'll find quite a bit about that choice in Inventing the Future but certainly not gate-level circuit design. As you implied, they made that decision just before decent microprocessors came along in quantity. Even at the time, there were questions about whether it was the right decision.

Mesa was a virtual machine as well as a language, and its opcodes were selected after seeing what Mesa source code was actually written. The goal was to minimize the code size, and then implement the opcodes in microcode.

After the book came out, my friend Jerry and I wrote a lengthy piece [1] about what Xerox should have done, and this time hindsight is allowed.

We were talking about the "lift sneeze man" violating quarantine, and whether it was "draconian" or not for the authorities to pursue him. I pointed out, by way of the US, that authorities pursuing someone who violated a quarantine order is not uniquely Australian nor particularly draconian.

> pizza is extremely cheap to produce with markup that can be in excess of 1000%.

This is true, and more: pizza is well suited to delivery versus other foods. For example, french fries age quickly, becoming unappealing in 10 minutes[1]. Chicken katsu ("chicken cutlets") travels so poorly my local shop sells them to go uncut. Between the The end result is that Dominos Pizza Inc outperformed GOOG in the past 5y[2]

Unfortunately, Pizza's viability and profitability in delivery service also undercuts your argument. That mom & pop Curry Pizza place someone mentioned _is_ on ubereats. I spent 15 minutes looking for a pizza place near me that wasnt on uber and failed. Even places that normally don't deliver are on it: Pasqually's is a ghost kitchen selling pizza and wings that is just Chuck E Cheese rebranded[3]. The margins are so high the logic is pretty simple: selling a pizza for only 500% profit is better than no profit at all.

That's not the reason most of the popular ones do it. (Ironmouse, sure, but not anyone else.)

Most of the bigger ones are corporate characters, so they're actually forced to hide themselves and it's more like they're uncredited actors. Besides that, it gives you privacy, avoids stalkers, means you don't have to do your makeup or get dressed (up or at all), things like that. Appearance still definitely matters though, but now it's your voice carrying you and not your face.

It's kind of funny seeing how every few years we'll have a new hot editor, and all the people who convert to those editors will wonder why anyone would still use Emacs or Vim, only to find out a few years later why people continue to use these 30+ year old editors.

In the meanwhile, both Vim and Emacs will incorporate the functionality that originally made the new editors popular, so the long time Emacs and Vim users lose almost nothing, did not have to go out of their way to use a new editor, and continued to benefit from the existing advantages of these editors.
Your position somehow completely ignores the cost of... producing the content itself. It might come as a surprise, but people who write books, make music, film movies all have expenses. Yes it's "free" to make a digital copy, but that ignores the cost of producing content. It sometimes takes years to produce and release a movie, hundreds if not thousands of people are involved. Who is paying for that? Should they all go to Patreon and ask for donations?

Thank you - I forgot about the 68000-based consoles :) Ironic, given how many great articles about console architecture[0] have done the rounds recently! The Atari Jaguar and Sega Saturn also had 68000s among the many processors in their complex architecture, albeit explicitly as a sound coprocessor in the Saturn.

Edit: I guess I didn't exactly forget - I was restricting my mental search to the 68030 specifically. But all the 680x0 systems were cool :)
