> Emacs had a GUI and mouse support forever on Windows.

Emacs did not invent the mouse cursor interface.

> It was “bloated and slow”.

This comes from not understanding how emacs works. Yes, it has games, no, it is not loaded until you load it. It means nothing, it does not mean bloat.

> I think we’re just missing each other here. The best features of eMacs spread to other editors.

I think we might - it's Emacs not eMacs.

> As for the scenario, I don’t see that as a hellish situation. I’ve been using vim for a while. Im actually ok at it.

Great! I love vim. In fact I used it for 15 years before switching. I would not be using emacs as my everything if evil-mode was not a thing.

> Do I regret learning it? Hell yeah. Lol. But at least I got vim mode to soothe the wound a little

Sometimes I think the same thing.. Everytime there is no vi mode I get annoyed. I try to be open to new software, but cua-mode (or default emacs keys) is not it for me.

Yes there is a reason I used your original comment, it was an attempt to hold you accountable for your words after you backtracked. The actions you mentioned in your original remark was more along the lines of abhorrent than questionable and I wanted to make that clear.

I'm aware. Saying a gas vehicle and an electric vehicle have practically the same amount of electronics if you ignore the battery is silly though. I just have to ignore the 1000+ lb battery.

What's the lifespan on that battery?
Thanks! I'll look into it!
Another comment here mentioned the on the job steps you can take, and that mirrors my experience. I also enrolled in Georgia Tech's OMSCS after a year or so of self study. About 1 year in I took a role using Python for network topology analysis software. I went from there to using go and C to develop a distributed database product. It's been incremental steps lower on the stack and towards more "pure" dev work. I'm now where I wanted to be and will keep doing this kind of work for as long as I can get away with it.

Being bad at CSS is certainly why I love it. But that doesn't mean it's not a great tool for experienced frontend developers as well.
That's not the point of this thread though, is it? It asks and answers a very different question. I do not think the history or specs are at all helpful in understanding what makes transistors tick.

"How do tower cranes work?"

"They can carry 20 tons and have a travel of 50 meters and were invented in 1950."
This is a bit like asking "Can you elaborate on particle physics" in 1900. The point is that we don't know because there's been so little experimentation in the space. Not a lot of funding for "build an OS that uses completely different idioms and concepts to what we know, possibly without even a goal other than trying something out".
No idea about dinosaurs but some reptilian red blood cells live much longer as in 500+ days for turtles vs 120 for humans. However, it varies widely with mice and chickens having much faster turnover. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S000649712...

One theory is it’s an adaption to having unusually large genomes which would otherwise be an issue, but biology is odd so who knows.
Static typing create a lot of code bloat, helper types, classes, abstract interfaces and all the sort.

The increase in the code size usually results in significantly more bugs in the code.

Number of bugs is directly proportional to the number of lines.

The better way is to use unit testing instead.

For most commonly downloaded torrents, webrtc support is not enough yet, that i know of. While torrent clients like transmission, qbittorrent and rtorrent do not support webrtc it would be difficult to guarantee the spread of this tech that would otherwise be great
Well you usually only need a STUN server that does the NAT hole punching, but transfers no data which can go directly P2P. The problem is that it doesn't work for two people on mobile data where a full TURN is needed. I've never completely understood why exactly it's broken in only that case, but it may have something to do with devices not being directly visible to each other for security reasons.

Or mobile operators being dicks because they can, that's frankly more likely.

It's also not certain that the fish actually worked.

The description of the trial as it was intended to work is here: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02341586

There appear to be no published results.

There was another study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20110274/

"Results: Blood iron levels were higher in women in the iron fish plus follow-up at 3 months compared with controls, but this was not maintained. At 6 months, haemoglobin and serum iron had fallen in all groups and the proportion of anaemic women had increased.

Conclusions: This study shows that the iron ingot was effective in the short but not longer-term against IDA. Though a novel treatment option, further research is warranted to determine bioavailability of leached iron and whether or not the surface area is large enough for sufficient iron leaching. "

The temptation of course is to elect a ‘strong good man’ (or woman, but historically it’s men) to untangle it. They’ll of course need lots of power to do it.

Also, they’ll of course have lots of detractors (whiners all of them!) when they start to untangle things and step on toes, so the temptation is of course to shut them up or get them out of the way.

And voila, fascism and/or outright dictatorship.

Or, you know, we could research what our elected representatives actually do and accomplish instead of what they say they do and accomplish, and vote for those who effectively and reliably do what is in our best interests.

That is, unfortunately, much harder.

This is a sad story. Do you think it would make a difference if you could sit him down with someone who would patiently listen to his claims, provide (counter) evidence, and point out when a claim is too vague or falsifiable to even check? I can imagine this a kind of AI patiently working through big chunks of a huge decision tree with the user, allowing itself to be lead through it as slowly or quickly as needed, a many times as needed. You would either get agreement, or be able to isolate with great precision those assertions of fact and/or assumptions that seem to undermine the user's reason.
Yep! I just thought it was mostly funny how a "better solution" is claimed and then after looking at the problem that solution only exists in theory, lol.
Decentralized doesn’t mean that every website is distributed to user-local edge servers, it means that there isn't a single point of failure of the web (that is, the web is decentralized, individual sites are still, separately, centralized.)

The emergence of central dominant vendors for key services reduces that (AWS, MS, Google, and CloudFlare are each capable of disabling a lot of the web with a failure; and there are backbone providers that can have similar effects) somewhat, of course.

One problem with EV charging is behavior.

People want to top up their batteries, just like they top up their gas tanks.

That means taking up infrastructure space. If 5 minutes gets you 50 miles, get the 5 minutes and go. It's like putting $4 in your tank vs filling up.

With gas, the expectation for most people at the EV income level is that you go and get a full tank every time. But you only need that for long hauls, or if you don't charge at home.

Fast charge then go should be the standard, not the exception.

Perhaps, but before everyone disappeared there were plenty of "goodbye, cruel world" type posts. I think some of it is just that people saw the whole thing didn't implode and either got back to using it and/or didn't like the alternatives much.

Personally have been splitting time between Twitter & Mastodon, although using Twitter more. Mastodon has a higher percentage of my high quality follows but a lot of them either dont post much there or are crossposting to Twitter anyways. And I prefer Twitter the application a heckuva lot more than Mastodon.

Cardboard boxes get a decent amount of reuse around my house, and I'm sure many others. They're certainly better for reuse than bag/envelope style packaging.

But yeah, at the scale of a large business, reuse makes no sense, because sorting and classifying them is labor intensive.
Also, VRChat is infinitely better than the Metaverse, does not require you to sell your soul to Facebook, does not require a branded headset (OR ANY AT ALL, YOU CAN PLAY IT 2D), runs well, HAS LEGS ON YOUR AVATAR FFS, and massive community support in and out of game.

Also it didn't require billions in investment. Facebook could have literally burned $900 million on hookers and cocaine, and then thrown $100 million to buy VR chat, and be better off than they are now.

I'm not sure, but my recollection of the article in question is quite specific - that when there was a delay between exposures across strains, the hemorrhagic fever did not result.

This article (The Autoimmune Mechanism in Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29686179/ is probably more relevant.

Why cross-strain exposure would prevent that auto-immune reaction, I have no idea - probably something to do with tiny little puzzle pieces that almost fit.

> Nah, arguing "you can't ever analyze the belief structure of a large group" is a non-starter for me.

I know, that's my point (of "It is not possible to possess this knowledge, as it is a reference to the beliefs of potentially millions of people"). One HAS TO use one's imagination to perform such an "analysis"....but it is imagined - the very thing (the imaginary, and some actual) conspiracy theorists are mocked for!

If the topic was something other than conspiracy theories (or any culture war topic), presenting one's imagination as fact would not stand on Hacker News...but when the topic is a culture war one, this standard inverts: then, acceptable norms to a large degree change to "imagination is ok, but appeals to truth are considered bad/unacceptable/weird".

> We've seen the blood libel crop up over and over again for literally thousands of years, and here it is again.

As a non-accountant, I never assumed an "annual report" was the same as an "annual financial report," especially for a non-profit org.

If the purpose of your organization is to make money, then I can see a company's annual report needing to have detailed financials. Most readers will be interested in those details, given it is a corporation. But I don't think a non-profit's annual report needs more detailed financials that they gave in this one, because their purpose to improve the world, provide a public service, etc., and staying financially sustainable is just a means to that end.

If they had released an "annual financial report" like this, I could see your point.

> it’s best for everyone if a problem is identified and called out as close in time to when it’s created as possible, and as clearly as possible.

Sure. But it does not follow that it is beneficial for your language to forbid you from testing some code you wrote over here until you fix a completely unrelated problem over there, indeed until you fix every single problem that the compiler can find.

> Doing it manually delays the feedback cycle

I'm not talking about "doing it manually", I'm talking about the compiler issuing warnings instead of errors.

Eh, there's some stereotyping going on here that I don't 100% agree with, but I'm not offended by the notion that people fresh out of college are generally inexperienced in the working world and lack skills that are needed in industry more than in academic work.
What's that one view?
Very interesting. What you describe sounds consistent with thujone from my experiences with absinthe and thuja leaf (though with significantly greater amplitude of effect). The flips to quiet are perhaps a bit uncharacteristic.

Could be interesting (if so inclined) to try chewing on sprig of Thuja cedar - it has very high thujone content, so could confirm that thujone is the active chemical causing this effect.

You didn't mention any hallucinatory symptoms. If you eat cilantro before laying down in a dark room and closing your eyes, do you get hypnogogic imagery (dreamlike visualizations experienced before falling asleep)? I think thujone can promote that for me a bit, but I'm not very thujone sensitive.

I hadn't thought about thujone sensitivity being so variable between people: certainly an interesting lens to view the historical popularity of absinthe.

Thanks for the thorough reply!
Hmm I suppose there may be edge cases where it doesn't work for home networks, but I doubt it's more than a few percent of users. For mobile data it's broken for 100% of devices.

So then government should make tougher laws surrounding the media. Break up empires such as Murdoch’s. Make it mandatory for media organisations to be co-operatives or some other such structure that disallows ownership by billionaires or corporations who can use them to push their own agenda. I’m not saying these are the solutions, but there are solutions out there to the problems that aren’t just the status quo. We just have to find them and be brave enough to try them. And yes I agree with you that citizens must also take responsibility for continually electing corrupt leaders.
Maybe, but using static types is not a panacea either. It only make it easier to assume that someone have correctly constructed the value and that all manipulation have been correct so far. The type checker helps by checking that if the assumption is true, everything down the line is also true. But only in the context of the code, not in the context of the process itself, where the assumption may be incorrect, or the chain is broken somewhere due to bad logic (that’s when off-by-one errors arise). Nothing is a silver bullet. Static types can make life easier by preventing some meaningless code, but they don’t ensure correct programs.
Better simmer down now there, eh?

> Are all startups at my age generally side hustles that become profitable enough to quit my day job?

They’re either side hustles that succeed enough to go full time, or they’re fully VC-funded so that you don’t have worry about paying the bills while you build it (VCs are explicit about that, they want their founders to pay themselves well enough to focus 110% on the startup and not on niggling distractions like bills and chores and whatnot).

There was a data point floating around a while back showing that most successful startups are actually done by people 40+ yrs old. They have connections in their industry and beyond, and deep domain expertise and knowledge of the problem they’re trying to solve, which gives them an edge. They’re just not in the news as much. Don’t recall where I saw it though, maybe here, maybe google.
