At FORTH, Inc. in the 80s they programmed the keyboard to make the arrow keys (and such) macro-expand into editor-vocabulary commands. So the Forth-repl editor had interactivity sort of halfway between ed and Emacs.

(Related anecdote: my summer job there back then was to review the new version of their system to find bugs, etc. There was this one piece which was ugly and awkwardly coded, and I was kinda happy to find it: finally, an excuse to rewrite something! It was the conventional interactive editor. Turned out it had been contributed by a customer; absolutely nobody at the company used it. Forth editor all the way.)
> As I type this, every top-level comment here is a criticism or a nitpick.

This is maybe going to sound snarky, but honestly I really am being serious: at this point, what else do you expect from this website? HN has a well-earned reputation of being a bunch of kneejerk-critics and naysayers.
They do but it's not nearly as low-power nor as constantly available as Intel ME is.
So you're claiming that airborne transmission of early variants was possible but rare? Even if true, that's not what the WHO said.
How nice you brought up the vaccine example.

So would you like to a live in a country where the government can mandate a vaccine and you have no way to find out who owns the VAXXPROD company, whose vaccines are mandated? What if the owner by pure coincidence is the nice of the Vax Minister?

On the other hand, how will John Doe's privacy be affected if it was public information that he owns Flush Pty Ltd, as long as Flush Pty Ltd is not doing anything of public interest?

Obviously, would get into the realm of public interest if John Doe also owned Flush-A, Flush-B, ... Flush-Z Pty Ltds, and these were purportedly competing for the tenders to install toilets in the City Council Building. Or would you rather keep this information private?
HN is not based on good behavior...

The vast majority of the highly upvoted comments here are, to some degree or another, FUD. I would not hold HN up as any kind of bastion of quality, it's just another forum. No better, no worse.

Try Stack Exchange. Again, do not put it on a pedestal but it has some good answers that cite many sources you can then go investigate yourself.
The CAPTCHA is supposed to filter bots. For some reason, the site has a bug keeping track of sessions (it just stops being able to), so as a result, it can't keep track of any quiz data.

I restarted the server so it should be working again.
I was shocked to read this comment because I interpreted your original comment as meaning a Philip K Dick novel would be optimistic compared to the cyberpunk dystopia in which we find ourselves now. lol

Anyway it's pretty fair to confuse the two I think, there can't be any way Johnny Mnemonic wasn't influenced by Blade Runner (I'm guessing it's true of both the movies and of the books). Very similar themes and protagonists at a certain level of abstraction.
hmm ok I was sure but you made me doubt myself now :) I'll give it a try tomorrow.
You filled out more than a dozen captchas? I guess if this was a competition, you would be the winner.
It is public information and how CEOs are chosen.

If you want to know more: starbucks, a vanguard/blackrock company, with msft CEO has massive debts and stabucks is paying huge interests all year long.

Public info.
Eh, I and most of my classmates had unfettered access to the internet since at least the 4th or 5th grade and it didn't seem to screw us over. TikTok can't be more addictive than World of Warcraft, can it?

I think the bigger distinction is that I had a desktop PC not a smartphone. Parents can much more easily regulate computer use with the former, and withhold access if their kid isn't getting good grades. I think desktop PC use also lends itself to hacking and promoting exploration of technology. Modding and cheating in games is how I got into tech. What I'd do is give my kid a desktop and a USB drive with Gentoo and let them do whatever they want - I'm mostly joking, but only mostly.

And yeah, giving kids smartphones for use at schools seems extremely bone-headed. When I was in school, teachers were all about keeping phones out of the classroom not brining them in.
When I graduated (EE, 1992), in my class there were about five women. Industrial engineering had a higher proportion, about 10%.

In the last few years, according to LinkedIn at least - and my admittedly unscientific counting, it seems 50/50.

This makes me much happier.
But it doesn't matter since STUN is just used for setting up the connection; it doesn't relay traffic. WebRTC always needs a coordination server to exchange tokens, so STUN doesn't make it less P2P.
I am curious what is survivors (a quick Google search didn't yield anything obvious) because the music is clearly from the Castlevania games.
Check out ComposeKey, or WinCompose for Windows. Easiest way to type accents, as well as symbols like ° or ®, postscripts¹, etc.
But that makes it hard to refer to, search for or have a discussion about real REST, the architectural style. Why use a term that means a different thing when you can just invent/use a new term describing what you want to describe. REST, as Roy Fielding defined it, is an extremely interesting concept to me and I'd love to explore it more, but good luck doing any research on it without getting flooded with countless junk about "REST" or "RESTful" APIs.

Sort of like how youtube is filled with videos about "damascus steel" which is nothing more than steel of random, irrelevant composition with certain visual pattern akin to actual damascus steel. But again, good luck finding a video about the real deal.

Same can be said about ASMR, and many other misappropriated terms people throw around for clickbait.

Rant over.

This is where you really want to start using typedefs.
Sure, sexual abuse is obviously very common and not unconnected with power, stories about actual abuse and similar fantasies about abuse and power have been around forever, and untangling the two isn't always easy, especially when they crop up during the same well-publicised case like the UK's Operation Yewtree. And sometimes you hear something about a famous person long before it becomes more than gossip (I heard about a friend of an acquaintance who was in Hollywood "dating" the wealthy and very eligible fortysomething X-men director when we were all in our late teens a decade before rather grubbier accounts about Bryan Singer and very young men appeared)

But there's a big difference between that and various very grand theories about certain US politicians that claim the story of Epstein is new evidence and corroboration, not old news and inspiration.
Once upon a time, they did it with a 6502.
Sounds like a bug, I'd try it in a fresh profile and see it still behaves that way for you. I just installed the extension a few minutes ago and it's translating manually when I click the button.
No, but if you buy proprietary razors, they will sure as heck try to make sure you only use their blades. ;)

But seriously... I agree. I get that DRM is meant to prevent "casual copying," but right now, that's just called "Downloading from 1337x." Unfortunately, I think that the only lesson movie studios are going to learn from this... is that they should phase out physical media and use Widevine and FairPlay hardware-assisted streaming DRM for everything. Which, to be fair, has been quite more resilient than AACS... but not pirate-proof...

I think the ultimate lesson is that movie studios will never cave on DRM or Copyright. In which case, in an ideal world, we'd repeal DMCA 1201 making breaking DRM legal for private use, and we'd cut copyright to 28 years in length (the original length, and also solving the video game preservation problem). From there, we could just have a trademark protection which states that distributing expired-copyright material in its original state gets a fair-use exception to trademark use, but modifications do not, solving that issue. [I.e. If I distributed Original Super Mario Bros. without changes, it wouldn't offend Nintendo's copyright - but if I changed it, I would have to call it something else and couldn't use "Mario" as a character.]
But it's not all in one place, even in the cloud. You have numerous machines, data centers, client encryption, etc.

"abuse it up to the point they can get away with."

And I guarantee anything that would happen in the cloud is already happening.
I have, and it boggles the mind. You'd think Java was a string-oriented language.
These are two extremities laid out, mine and yours. Finding a common ground does not have to be impossible.
This can be very misleading, because an investor can put $x into a crypto project and as part of the deal get y tokens. They many sell the tokens and get back much more then they invested, maybe more money right away. They don't have to say they got and sold the tokens.
>You equate pointing out the existence of a genocide with a "call to violent action"

I take it you favor a more passive approach.

>Your comment, in the context of this conversation, argues in favour of arresting anyone who points out that a genocide is taking place. That is extremely dangerous.

This is exactly what my comment was arguing. I wrote that comment not as a reflection of my personal views, but to highlight the consequences of prosecuting individuals for statements which aren't direct threats.

I don't believe arresting and prosecuting individuals for making such statements is justified. I agree that the context of this conversation argues in favor of arresting anyone who points out that genocide is taking place, and I agree that accepting it as a precedent is extremely dangerous. You've elucidated my reasoning on the subject perfectly.
Ironically businesses with more than 20 employees and 5 million in revenue are excluded from having to report ownership information in America (well, starting 2024).
I implemented it as a runtime class in Python just to see, seems like you can get a lot of (this benefit) in other languages by doing the same: https://github.com/yasyf/python-secret-type
No, I specifically oppose Facebook's metaverse ambitions because they are shittier mass-marketized versions of those same things.

All of those other things you mentioned fit into specific niches and have built communities around themselves over time.
"codebase already written in C" includes both "all the as yet unwrapped libraries" and "the OS interface".
Actually, the stuff in the store has usually been in warehouses for long periods of time. During that time, they lose nutrients.
Well, thats your view. It begs the question: do you exclude yourself from that, and if so, why are you here?

"No better no worse" implies there is no qualitative difference between them "they're all the same" -again, I think thats an over reach. They have differences. Of course, all finches are finches. But they differ by niche, and so differ by beak, and plumage. Likewise, forums are better or worse for a different point of view, or criterion.

I like HN. I'm not really saying anything else.

I agree HN has a bad side: the tendency of people to simply refute any stated view because they like being contrarian, and because they assume they know something in a field. It's maybe a corollary of Gell-Mann disease. (btw what you did is not this, you just said something else contrarian)

For me,
I just changed my note taking system to Logseq last summer which supports org formatted notes. I had heard about org mode, but it seemed like too much trouble to learn Emacs for note taking.

Cue Distrotube on YouTube creating a series that makes it really easy to get started with Doom Emacs, and cue me wanting to learn Clojure combined with it being to hard to modify VSCode's Calva and Cursive... and I finally had enough arrows pointing toward Emacs.

Best decision I've ever made. Emacs is slowly consuming all of my workflows. I finally feel like I have the editor of my dreams, it's just a little rough around the edges still.

I hope to contribute to it once I get better.
They were just as dangerous then as they are now.

And, regardless, you can still buy glass, torches, and tubes of plastic.
Writing compilers is actually rather easy. The hard part is dealing with other programs. For example, last week I finally tracked a bug down to the documentation on how the function ABI worked was simply wrong.
I feel like I am going to regret this post, but anyway...

I am a woman in tech, and the whole thing feels slimy. I found it really creepy and couldn't watch more than a couple of minutes- I couldn't tolerate the voice changer for longer than that. But the whole concept is kinda gross because (as someone else pointed out below) the streamer is most likely an adult man, not a cute asian girl. And the persona is being performed for the benefit of other adult men.
Let's see how long this policy lasts if people spread COVID-19 misinformation that replaces Bill Gates as the Boogeyman with Elon Musk.

The guy is an intellectual lightweight making intellectual lightweight mistakes. Free speech isn't axiomatically important but only insofar as it increases your chances of survival, which is axiomatically important. That's a common mistake made by "muh freedoms" absolutists.
IIRC the boxes that Wal-mart uses internally are marked "return for reuse, each box cost an average of $1"

The distinction between Play-to-Earn and Play-and-Earn is phony. It only exists because the former became so discredited. The big difference is the latter type of games are ones you are supposed to actually enjoy playing. That's really not a very high bar, but it is amazing how many failed to do that.
Good. This concept of continually restricting the owner of a processor from controlling the code that executes on his machine is a futile attempt at providing "products" which are nothing more than theft. The only reason this is a requirement for POWERDVD is because they insist on treating people like thieves and locking down the ability to watch high quality movies behind a wall that keeps the user from seeing and controlling code executed on their device.

The Secret Network is also attempting to force users to execute code which they cannot inspect or modify in order to implement the core component that sets their bullshit crypto block chain aside from Ethereum, for example. They're not selling some novel software. They're selling Ethereum running in SGX to keep you from copying NFTs or inspecting the content of smart contracts. Furthermore, anyone running this or other SGX software should be ashamed of themselves for allowing these thieves to pretend they're doing anything other than taking advantage of a poorly implemented scheme to deprive you of your control over your property.

Few people seem to recall the blowback Intel got over their Pentium III chips containing a unique processor ID, and how they went as far as having the ID disabled by default in every BIOS to keep people from mass migrating to AMD. The same thing should happen with these trash SGX implementations, and the most embarrassing thing is that Intel plans to launch software defined silicon, making users pay for CPU features while shipping the exact same chip to everyone. One of the main features they want to ship to eveyone and sell to suckers is SGX itself. You can see this here: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-officially-introduce...

Frankly, everyone should be ashamed for using Intel hardware when AMD chips do not abuse the user with these schemes and generally allow much more freedom. Intel makes people pay for frequency unlocked chips, pay for features shipped with the chip, and even pay to have code they do not control run on their system. If this isn't an absolute embarrassment to anyone purchasing CPUs, it's a poor reflection on them and their obvious stupidity and contempt for their own freedom.

The media/bad actors online/scam artists aren't concerned about being ethical with their megaphone on full blast instilling fear and panic amongst Americans.

The fact is if I have the choice between being unethical and saving my parents from a life filled with panic and fear, I know what I'm choosing.
No one is forced to use an extension cord; long charging cables exist. In fact, you should avoid using an extension cord here because a lot of cheap ones cannot actually carry the full 1.5kW without melting because the manufacturer wanted to hit a lower price point. See also the price of copper.
The funny thing is that it shouldn't be. There is plenty of potential, but all sorts of (mostly non-technical) factors are getting in the way.
> Scott Morrison making himself a secret minister of several portfolios, and for these and other sins the electorate severely rebuked his party at recent state and federal elections

Didn't this "secret minister" situation only really come to light AFTER the elections?
They'll do what even the most incompetent drug dealers in America have done to own cars and houses since the beginning of time: get a straw owner. If they're caught, lying on a UBO form will be 3 years in prison which will run concurrent with the 10 or 20 years they get for the drugs.
I've heard the story of new recruits and their assignments told a few different ways over the years. My grandfather credited his ability to touch type with keeping him out of combat, and it's certainly possible that whoever made that decision also noticed a few other qualities that made him suitable for working in an office. On the other hand, I know a guy who was drafted in the Vietnam era after getting a BS in Physics and Astronomy and the Army's best use for him was... combat.

I don't even know the name of the position of the guy who decides where draftees are sent after basic training, but I expect that as with so many other things, some of them are a lot better at their jobs than others. And perhaps the Marines do a better job of it than the Army.
I don't think the average HN reader, upon encountering a paywall, is the type to reach for their wallet.

The alternate case here is that the article simply doesn't get read/discussed as much, not that the author actually receives more pay.
Have you done user testing on these? It seems fairly likely that many people won't know to click on the balloon text to advance the demo.
Borges´ memory was famously prodigious. But just as exceptional was his appetite for books. If you read his lectures or transcribed dialogues, you will feel that he has read everything He could cite the most obscure writers of any epoch and region by heart. Persian myth, medieval German writers, ancient Japanese poets or monks, Scottish folklorists, theologians and heresiarchs, belonging to antiquity, the Middle Ages or recent times. You name it. And then he would relate all of those with daily occurrences. He would hear a rhyme from a street peddler, find in it an implicit philosophical paradox and recite a verse from ancient Carthage or a medieval Chinese tractate to provide a solution. He also had a penetrating intuition, and his conclusions, reached by himself through personal intuition and later woven into his stories, often turn out to be confirmed by later scientific research. It´s hard to understand how he managed to grasp reality with such depth. It really seems as if his mind was of a greater order of complexity than that of mere mortals. In a way similar to Einstein´s.
Hi! Happy to see someone interested in using Emacs for Julia work.

I recommend the following packages for your setup:

julia-vterm (https://melpa.org/#/julia-vterm) (https://github.com/shg/julia-vterm.el)

ob-julia-vterm (https://melpa.org/#/ob-julia-vterm) (https://github.com/shg/ob-julia-vterm.el)

FYI, julia-vterm depends on:

julia-mode (https://elpa.nongnu.org/nongnu/julia-mode.html) (https://github.com/JuliaEditorSupport/julia-emacs)

vterm (https://melpa.org/#/julia-vterm) (https://github.com/akermu/emacs-libvterm)
I hear you and I agree. The HN vibe is nitpicky, for sure. I was a little surprised the comments here were 100% negative (or not positive, to be fair). I usually wouldn't bother reading all the comments, but I care about Ruby, so I was a little more irked by the negativity than usual. :)
I'll have to look when I'm at my computer, pretty sure I just grabbed something from one of the UserScript aggregators or whipped up something myself.

Either way, I'll reply with it in a bit.
I think you are right to also worry about your safety and would likely need some help and advice if you are trying to help him.

I haven't extensively read Freddie de Boer, but in what I read, he comes across as empathetic, perceptive, highly articulate and probably rather more sane than most people.

He also posted a very personal video a while ago (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKB6F_VYuZY ), to vent his anger at a recent glamorization of mental illness by a NYT writer. In it he explains how the only thing that prevented him from murdering a former love during a psychotic episode (for supposedly secretly putting glass into his food) was that he didn't even know where she lived. He realized he needed to be on permanent medication.

I was jarred listening to a fine and sensitive mind relating how it's only kept suspended over a chasm of homicidal delusion by a relatively crude and often debilitating pharmacological cocktail.
OK, but you did seem to be holding the firebombing incident up as an example of Australia's "ridiculous authoritarianism".

I'm just not quite seeing how it shows authoritarianism if you weren't suggesting government involvement?

Also your original comment sounds like you're saying Aus and UK are worse than the US on this front, but the worst case example you've just provided is from the US.
Epson quitting laser printers doesn’t address its bigger sustainability issue
So for you, Emacs is more like a library or editor engine than an application? That makes sense and may explain why I didn’t connect with it, in that I’m used to adapting to my tools rather than building them. I need to change contexts frequently so I’ve made myself malleable rather than my tools.
The cost for this is that programs with type errors must still be specified to have a well-defined semantics. That in turn means that you can't hang useful language features off static types.

For example, TypeScript explicitly declares as a design goal that they don't use the type system to generate different code:

https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/TypeScript-Desi...

Meanwhile in Dart, you can write:

double d = 1;

In Dart, doubles and integers are different types with different representations. The above line of code works because if we see an integer literal in a context where a floating-point number is expected, we implicitly treat it as a double literal. Note that there's no runtime conversion here. We can do this because Dart does have a sound type system and is happy to use it for language features.

That's also why Dart (and other statically typed languages) support extension methods while TypeScript does not:

https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/9#issuecommen...

If the language gives users the ability to type their code, it's really nice to be able to give them as much value in return for their effort. That means building language features on top of them and using types to generate smaller, faster code.

But languages with unsound type systems or that treat programs with type errors as well formed can't really do that.
