Such a good, and important, take on the state of affairs. Outright censorship is bad. But even worse is when an environment is fostered in which folks will preemptively self-censor. It’s terrifying.
I find the cluster of recent postings about Data General curious: this, plus

I also find it gratifying: I worked on 16- and 32-bit Eclipses, and perhaps even a Nova or two in the late 1980s. Once at a customer's site I saw an old blue-and-white MV/8000, on which the sysadmin/programmer said they had run production on one shift while recompiling the older programs on another. (Blue-and-white: the old 16-bit line of DG computers had a blue-and-white color scheme, the 32-bit line had brown cabinets.)
Anonymous is this context means I don't want my name attached to the page, not that someone couldn't easily get a subpoena to get it.
A) The comment was about "food in the UK" not "British food." He's eating food in the UK so his list is of food in the UK.

B) Domino's and McDonald's are not British foods but sausage rolls and pork pies are. Even the American chain food will taste different in the UK vs. the US.
In this case, it is definitely fallacy. These new "foods" are made of all the same stuff as the things we have been eating for centuries [0]. Soy, peas, rice, various plant fats, vitamins, etc.

This is the part where you bring out the "processing" boogeyman, right? Like people haven't been eating processed foods for decades too?

[0] with the exception of the heme in Impossible burgers I suppose, which did undergo animal testing and was approved by the FDA same as drugs you've likely taken that were approved in the past decade.
This was a great book. And the audiobook was superb. And I'm not even a gamer. I recommend it all the time.
Here in Stockholm using experts is seen as you working on the issue, especially if you are middle class and up. But we have similar views on obesity.

I doubt it would be of much benefit. It is black plastic (to match the watch band) so it doesn't photograph very well.
I know it’s sarcasm but the thought of a small 64x64 video auto-playing at 0.25fps is hilarious to me.
startpage.com, IIRC, uses google results. You're better off with something else if you're looking for non-googly results (I do not have any suggestions)
Absolutely. It's amazing how concisely she lays it all out too. I hope people don't think I'm being sarcastic when I say that it is the perfect example of how a guide/tutorial should be written. The book could also be named the Mythical Dad-Week.

Another vote for FT (Financial Times). It has good insights not just on economics and politics but also has decent coverage of topics on AI, Travel, and Science.
One trick that might help people is reducing/eliminating seed oils. Safflower, soybean, sunflower oil. They put that in everything nowadays, and it adds a lot of extra calories. Its amazing to pick up stuff in the grocery story and look at the ingredients to see where they randomly show up. Restaurants also use them a lot as a cooking oil, cheaper than butter much of the time.

They might also trigger inflammatory disorders but I'm less convinced of that. I eliminated them and lost tons of weight, though I had a pretty restrictive diet and was exercising a lot too so its hard to untangle the effects.
It's useless garbage information... only faster!

So, something is seriously wrong with me. I knew it.

I never have enough tabs opened at any time; if a tab is open, it is a to-do for me to either do it (read, or fill up or something), or ignore and close it. My mobile browser auto-closes if any tab is left open for more than a week (by mistake). Desktop browser has (except on rare days) all tabs closed and clean by end of day/work.

The most I have is like 15 or so odd ones that I read real quick (kinda speed-read). It is the time when I will also have a timer[0] running for 25-min, then close all even if I'm not finish. This is when I submit articles to Hackernews.

0. P.S. I found out about a year or so back that a timer is the best way to keep track and push your tasks on time. Now I own few mechanical kitchen timers, electronic ones, a large highly visual hourglass (30-min), and the only Complicatons on the primary Watch face is --- the Timer.
The browser in the video is a very early Netscape Navigator (v1.0N maybe..) written by Marc Andreessen and others, who founded Netscape and went on to found Andreessen Horowitz which has invested in lots of YC startups.
Also we can only do the strict still lives (i.e. those which are connected https://conwaylife.com/wiki/Still_life#Strict_still_lifes). We can't necessarily put down a 10-cell still life and an 11-cell still life near to each other.
Something I regularly advocate for. I think other industries could be doing a lot more with software with embedded developers rather than relying on SaaS startups for features and automation. But that's untenable because while it would definitely be valuable, it's not always going to make financial sense with tech wages being inflated by the SV venture capital game.
I believe Trump was voted in by people who were fed up with the new sanctimonity, especially on topics like sexism and racism. Their defense was to vote for vulgarity and Trump seemed to be a master of that if nothing else.

I mean, if you've ever bought anything in a shop with a credit or debit card, your interactions have probably been powered by EMVCo's stuff, but you've probably never heard of EMVCo and there's no particularly good reason that most people should have. In general, there's not much point in B2B infrastructure providers doing consumer marketing.
What happens if (e.g.) Harvard changes its ends (i.e., education / degree) to its means. And its ends becomes (e.g.) "we develop tomorrow's leaders."

Wouldn't that not only provide it the legal freedom to admit who they want because the criteria for a successful leader is 10x broader than objective academic performance; but also force them to seek out that broader range of signals?

There is certainly a place for pure academics. That said, is the world not discovering that isn't enough? That progress is more than traditional IQ points?
The Financial Times is simply excellent. In my opinion it's substantially better than what even The Economist used to be like ~10 years ago. Almost every article has high quality, there's no clickbait content and the coverage of topics is very appropriate for someone who wants to keep informed on geopolitics and international finance. Though it's not as broad as what The Economist covers, you won't find as much coverage of developing nations.
I should have added “in the last year” to make it explicit that I was directly responding to OP when they said they had noticed a shift “in the last year”. I haven’t noticed this shift! The shift I did notice was when Zanny took over as editor-in-chief a few years back.
We can already. Almost. The translator works perfectly* as just a web page[1]. It is only a matter of combining that bit with the full-page translation code[2] and some UI to toggle it.

It is a bit of a question whether this is the way to go. You're downloading about 20mb to get all the plumbing + translation models necessary to translate a page. It would be okay if it were widespread enough that we can assume everyone already has these in their browser cache, but the trend is moving away from that model of caching[3].

* given your browser support wasm SIMD. So an x86 processor with SSE4.1, although M1 also seems to work. And no Safari, because they haven't implemented wasm SIMD[4].

How did the value of seeing those stats make a first edition Babe Ruth card worth hundreds of thousands of dollars?

I mean, yes, everything has value. I can write a memo in an NFT that I don't want to forget. Obviously we're talking about the value as compared to the price.
Didn't we already get that with Trump who is immune to criticisms of this sort? The swing has already started.
No disrespect to Mother Jones (since they do pretty good reporting), but their editorial voice is pretty far to the left of anything The Economist ever was IMO.
I agree and IMO Google is the new Yahoo, just a lot bigger. So we all need new search engine, again?
SimCopter was awesome! I had forgotten all about it. I didn't realize you could import SimCity cities!
But most can not.
Well, then Windows is better at being Windows.

I see Windows, Windows CE, XBox and even MS-DOS on that list.
This is a selection of about 60 story links on the front page. The story about cats is about people paying thousands for organ transplants for pets, which is somewhat intriguing and new to me.
Same here, I love running and burn a ton of calories per week running but it is easier for me to lose weight while not running.
I think this crowd is probably too young for that reference.. :-) Good catch though
They mean the app called “GNOME Software”
Try adding site:uptodate.com for medical information. A large percentage of US hospitals pay for access to the full app for all their docotrs. The idea is that UpToDate pays people to constantly review the literature on topics and update the summary in their article for a fast reference on the job. (Not sure what the downside to this free web version is but you can find the whole catalogue on your typical pirate sites)
Been there. It's not just the economist, most services that include the node "Send an email to unsubscribe" are a problem for me.

I'm paying everyone via paypal and just cancel the paypal subscription without ever bothering replying to any email. That works wonders :-)
I love Kazdin, great additional suggestion. I didn't know there was a course on Coursera though, thanks for sharing!

Apps on Android cannot influence other Apps or even significant parts of the system. They are confined by default an can only use resources by using the API to request permission or they don't get access.

On Linux Desktops any app can do whatever the user they run under is able to do and flatpaks don't change that since any restrictions can be circumvented trivially.

The two systems dont really compare and Android is worlds ahead in regards to application security/sandboxing
Nice article, but the reason for the oscillation between de-centralized and centralized, public domain and corporation-owned systems is not because of innovation.

It's because private businesses at first invest and try to grow the user base, for the ultimate goal of consolidating the market into a pseudo-monopoly. Once that happens, then monetization starts in full steam, and the corporations try to extract as much revenue out of this situation as possible.

This is obviously painful for the users, because they are now forced to carry the weight of the profits extracted off of the business. The value provided by the service is counterbalanced very precisely by the revenue extracted from the user. The hypothetical pain of moving to an alternative platform is also taken into account. Using the system becomes zero-value or even net negative for the user in the median case.

The users start to evaporate at this point for obvious reasons. They will move to an alternative de-centralized, free and public domain utility, or lacking that, to some small scale start-up provided utility which is still in an investment phase, which provides roughly, if not perfectly for the same need.

The cycle continues until the need is provided by non-commercial and de-centralized systems, and no business sees a viable chance of gaining an exploitative pseudo-monopoly on it.
Ask HN: Stereotypical Trustworthiness of Information by Blog Domain
XKCD's had a tongue-in-cheek comparison of the apparent authority of information carried by different file formats, in its "File Extensions" comic:

other git-provider pages

I thought this at first but now I’m not sure. My understanding is they have gotten rid of ~70% of the workers (7500 down to 2700 [1]). Speaking generally, IMO 20% would have perhaps been a fitting haircut after a couple years of excessive hiring that did not lead to growth. 70% is a serious reduction of manpower and it is fair to wonder how they can maintain critical functions of a global network and also implement the whimsies of a billionaire.

On that end, Twitter was a growth stock with no dividends. IIRC last year they announced a 4B buyback program, 2B of it this year. My assessment was it was floundering in that it was failing to grow KPIs and ad rev, not because of profit/loss. But I am not a stock market expert, so maybe someone else has a better analysis.

Sorry but I call bullshit. Considering how these images were presented to the public and accepted by many, and later even sold, the level of editing and composite work this photographer does (if she even exists as the person she claims to be) is grossly dishonest even if she never said she was a photo journalist. Nobody who takes photography seriously as a profession or way of showing the world would call what she did photography in the way the images implicitly are presented as being true to in her own blog post.

There's enough doubt here to wonder if she even made the trip or took any photos of a leopard at all.

Also worth noting that her own website, registered in July of 2022, has posts backdated to April and March of 2021, which is strange to say the least.

And the current one is definition of "anything but the last guy" too.
I had been somewhat overweight in the past, but not so heavy. Definitely emphasise with people here noting how it snuck up on them.

Something that really was game changing for me was logging everything I ate with relatively legitimate counts of the calories and macros. Before even getting towards goals I realised that those random handfuls of cashews I might grab from the kitchen on the way to the restroom weren't say 60-100 calories, but more like 400!!! Fruit and especially fruit juices are another secret killer. There was just instant change in my calorie intake because so many things I was eating were much denser than I expected.

Now, many of these counters aren't perfect, all people are different, and you don't absorb at consistent rates across food. Don't try and optimise down to 10s or even say order of magnitude 100 calories. But you might find some massive surprises in your food intake this way.

I also did the whole diet / macro planning. Alongside going out of my way to log all food intake, having the plan added enough mental barriers to get snacking under control. Not everybody has success with these plans, but I'd still recommend the tracking and logging just to see if there's any surprises.

edit:
You don't even have to keep the tracking up. Just do it for a a few weeks so you at least know. I don't really track calories anymore but it's largely since i have a much better idea of what I'm eating after tracking in the past.

edit 2:
If you take care to track your macros, you can observe pretty significant differences in strength training results.
Currently two, including this one.
In the last few years I've moved away from following large publications and toward following individuals. This keeps the average quality of the content very high and allows me view information that --while accurate-- might not make it past an editorial board.
I put the Jacobin there to make it clear I'm open to good writing from anywhere on the political spectrum. I've read some good stuff from them, and drivel in equal measure, but I find the same with the Economist. I'm looking to try something new and I'm not against a socialist perspective.

I didn't put Al Jazeera because I would be against an Qatari monarchist perspective.
I haven't asked my doctor, but if I did, he would be perfectly justified in telling me "You think YOU got problems?". So I don't.
"They've never taken issue with other OSes running on their hardware." is a false statement even within context of this thread. They've thanken issue with other OSes on their hardware.
I find myself having to add `site:reddit.com` to an increasingly large of queries to have any useful result. I wonder if I should make a little userscript that can add it for me with a hotkey/text combination..
That's a great summary. Another telltale sign is the discontinuity in the partially obstructed background.
If you have a human subject in the foreground, the parts of the background to the left and to the right of the subject do not connect properly. What should be single continuous parts of a building, a window, a railing or a landscape are drawn on different heights or otherwise do not form a whole structure.

In most any conversations I've been in or heard involving Musk, the overall perception of him and his image was overwhelmingly positive. This entire Twitter fiasco, and how he is handling it, seems to have changed that a lot.

Additionally, once the media starts zeroing in or locking on to people with a negative story to tell and sell, they can run with it and where they try to outdo each other. I don't see the continuous negative stories and narrative about Musk stopping for years to come.
>> "She continued: "Nothing demonstrates this better than the recent phenomenon of 'sensitivity readers' in the world of publishing, people whose job it is to cleanse unpublished manuscripts of potentially offensive words."

That's such a gross misrepresentation. Does the article improve at all past this?
“My rats would probably never have survived in the wild”

I remember watching a video where they released some pet rats into the wild. They adapted very quickly and did well. These little buggers are very smart.
I searched for a product on Youtube recently, and the main result was a computer-generated voice narrating words that felt like they had been generated from the product spec (rather than written by somebody with experience with the product)!

It will be interesting to see where we are in a few years time.
Imagine living in a world where you need the eurocrats' approval to create or use technical solutions for the problems created by the eurocrats and other central planners.
Have you ever read the economist? The content isn't remotely alike (and I'm not even talking about right/left spectrum).
I think the only real alternative is the FT. Yes, it's not a weekly but they have lots of in-depth reporting (and the Economist refers to itself as a newspaper anyway).
Almost all of my searches start with site:reddit.com, possibly even a specific subreddit.
I mean by your qualifications, Linux in the form of Android "was the last weird built from scratch OS that shipped a massive amount of units".

Also it is not true. A sibling comment mentions Nintendo Switch OS.
‘More coral cover on it this year than any time on record’: Great Barrier Reef
You seem to view things with a very broad brush, did you actually read the magazine or just peruse?

Just as an example, did you read the things Mearsheimer wrote?

Since this Economist thing has become a quagmire due to Ukraine ( my fault for bring it up ), I reiterate my point:

I don't really have anything against them, not even their biases. I do get pissed when they somehow ride their wave of superiority when in fact they are pretty much mainstream. Yeah, they are better than the DailyMail, but not by the amount they project.
Hope you’re right, as I can see cities making sole-source contracts with companies to providing charging stations where residents can pay for charging their vehicles. Then, the fight will be this vs in home service (think cable vs over the air).
Don't they ultimately publish the same stuff in both?

I would definitely appreciate a quality/triviality filter though, maybe the print is the only way to get it.
The business cycle has been known for a long time. Things were never going to always go up, and this downturn will end too.
> Not having a standard-compliant libc seems really annoying

There are several standard-compliant libc implementations (and C implementations in general) available on Windows, pick any one that you fancy. And why should an OS even ship a default runtime for some random programming language anyhow? Just because it was written in that programming language so it gets a preferential treatment? That's breaking the abstraction layering.
I stopped regularly reading it a while back, but the articles I end up on seem to indicate a shift to addressing a USA libertarian audience rather than a previous economics-led but with some shred of humanity.

That may just be selection bias of the articles I read.
The problem here is what is "racist"

If the teacher says "Race X is dumb and can not learn" then yes remove them as they are an educator and racist views on the ability to learn would impact their ability to teach

if the teacher says "We should have strong border controls" which is now viewed by the public as racist then no

If you’re in the UK, your local library may have access to the Economist as an online magazine

My county’s libraries use Libby, and I get to read The Economist and many other magazine ‘for free’ (reality is my council and other taxes pay for it but you get my drift)
Do you remember the Weezer “Buddy Holly” video that was included to show off the multimedia features? Hilariously small resolution by today’s standards.
I do not disagree with anything you're asserting here. Google is a mess of gamed results most of the time. The internet in many places has become a series of sites searching for eyes to get ad dollars. The only thing I think I'd question is your claim of being a "power user." A power user would be able to construct queries that removed (or at least lessened) the gamed results.
