Thank you for the feedback. It is pulled from my notes and is an ongoing book aimed towards contribution to the project. I did not yet pass some spellchecks on it. The book is OpenSource though and you can have a go at improving sections.

I would really appreciate making the material available to a wider audience.

I distinctly remember from over two decades ago that, as I was exploring Lisp under the guidance of Shapiro's book Common Lisp: An Interactive Approach, the situation with nil being a symbol, empty list and false was simply a fantastic design, and it likely helped me get hooked on Lisp.

My view today is that if anything calls itself Lisp and doesn't have these design elements, it is, in a way, vandalizing the word "Lisp".

Imagine buying something for $44 billion and due to your own actions causing a mass exodus to Mastodon. Of course you're going to try and make the exodus as hard as possible.
thank you, I've recently been searching for an alternative to Nuxt that isn't a heavy black box, so this looks very interesting!
2 fire escapes is a good thing, redundancy also helps in cases of unforeseen failure and disasters.

As an alternative, a 1.5 level (per apartment, a ramp, stair, or interior elevator) design where one side has 2 floors and the other just one, such that three floors are split among 2 floors of buildings. I'd still want enough acoustic insulation and isolation to enjoy silence, and an airflow design for the whole building that keeps all the exhausts and smells away from all residences.
I have a lot of respect for voice artists who read out whole novels especially. I recorded a blog post of mine a while back and it was surprisingly really difficult to get right.
> What I’ve since learned however is that tracking his jet requires a combination of public and private information. He’s part of a privacy scheme which routinely changes the plane’s identifier: https://mobile.twitter.com/DavidSacks/status/160385752457453...

My understanding is that he _stopped_ using this service and now his plane broadcasts the same tail number all the time.
This guy worked on one of the worst tragedies in the Star Wars universe, the added scene where Han Solo steps on Jabba the Hutt’s tail. That he was so inexperienced and allowed to work on that scene explains a lot.
This is really cool - I didn't know about it!

I remember having a similar thing for the ATARI ST back in the day and that was amazing. Something like this -> https://www.journaldulapin.com/2014/10/07/atari-spectre-gcr-...

This is like the Hackintosh of the eighties. Both the Atari ST and Amiga were both 68000 systems.
it's an interesting question actually.

we track planes for safety reasons. when a plane disappear from the radar, it's a big deal. an educated guess why cars aren't tracked is privacy and there are too many.

but in a world where cars are going to be electric, these problems might go away.
hackernews is one such place. they can post such nonsense on the homepage. and now they flagged my comment for being joking.
>hack

This is not "hacking". This is information derived from publicly available information, presumably a quite trivial inference. If it is public information that x=2 and y=3, then x+y=5 isn't suddenly private information, just because it requires a trivial inference.
> Also why do you need to post links on Twitter, i though you were leaving the platform?

If you built up an audience on twitter, it seems obvious when you want to leave, that you want to take your audience with you.
The Right to Listen Resides on Hacker News Algolia
As an individual, you should have the right to access any information another person wishes to generate. AFAICT, Hacker News moderators are hiding posts they believe do not provide value to the site. This is fine, but you can still see a non-moderated feed using Algolia's Hacker News search website.
I wonder how long before Twitter patches this, one thought is that since they've fired so many people they may not be executing well enough to patch this quickly.

Also, is there a way to do this where they won't be able to patch? Maybe alternate domain names for these known domain names that are being blocked, similar to what thePirateBay did.

I agree with the sentiment, but in this case I find overmatch a new, weird word that is no more precise than dominate, and hence not better.

It’s nothing to do with imposing ‘far left’ ideology. It’s physics. A dense urban neighbourhood of uninsulated housing that supports most trips by walking and public transport is more energy efficient than a passvihaus located somewhere that requires driving. Once built that suburban house has an ongoing and high transportation energy cost for maybe hundreds of years. Obviously if your political ideology is Green you are against wasting energy.

I’m not sure I qualify as a spokesperson for the entire “left” ;)

It seems a lot of people are pointing out the massive amounts of hypocrisy Elon is displaying, as well as how fickle & fragile the concept of free speech is when it comes up against the personal opinions of a billionaire.

Plus a democratic vote, which is definitely not what a Twitter poll is, controlling speech is exactly the thing that many on the (if we’re using labels) “right” objected to once a truly democratic vote (within a flawed process) delivered a government that they didn’t want. True freedom of speech is a fixed principle, not dictated by the whims of current powers, votes or Overton window.
Could Musk successfully make the case that, despite this technically being public information, curating it in such a way to track him personally constitutes harassment?

I think that when the dust settles RPi will have lost a lot.

Lots of alternatives available and superior for most specific use cases, which people are discovering and/or transitioning to because of RPi's availability issues. Once this happens it'll be difficult to win those people back.
Better for responsiveness and appearance, but the accuracy of a good screen like on an iPAQ is still not matched without very special hardware.
The output is either linear RGB in modern pipelines or unspecified probably-sRGB for older pipelines (which usually have wrong lighting math).

It's the driver that does the linear RGB to display space conversion when the engine swaps the render buffer.

In the case of non-specified probably-sRGB color space I have no idea if it converts from sRGB to your display space, or if it just does nothing because it not specified.

In most other cases that has been released illegitimately in the first place though. That's not the case here.

The information is publicly available because it is mandated to be as a condition of flying. Leaked private information is obviously different.

This is just a case of a billionaire with a god complex wanting to have his cake and eat it too.
If that’s true then it’s not doxxing at all and fair game.

Ultimately planes are tracked and the information made public. If you’re concerned about privacy, travel by different means.

I have no recommendations there matching 100%, but one of these might work:

Many (perhaps most) off-the-shelf webcams do allow you to control focus, but aren't C-mount, and you're stuck with their lens and their preprocessing.

For what I do, webcam preprocessing makes it almost useless for my applications. Almost all are auto-something, and I don't need exposure or white balance changing once I've calibrated lighting and a machine vision pipeline. Many do nominally have manual exposure and white balance controls, but I've had poor luck finding ones where I have consistency at the level of a module like an ELP.

If you're willing to hack or forgo OpenCV integration, it's ridiculously easy to control C-mount lenses with electronic focus control. That's what I did when I needed to do this. You can look on eBay for something like a vintage Computar TV Zoom Lens (and documentation on Computar's web site still existed when I did this). Prices vary, but when contractors rip out ancient surveillance systems, these can be had for a song.

Or you can splurge, and get a 20x zoom f/1.8.

The ones I bought, it's literally just applying a voltage to a pair of wires to make it zoom or focus in one direction or the other. You just need a few GPIO pins, and to step up the voltage to what it needs (I'm inclined to say 12V, but it might be 5V; it's been a while -- but from not recalling, you can see how easy this was; if this was a week project, I'd remember).

What you really want is a module with the same interface as something like the Computar, which I know exist, but I've never used, so I can't recommend them one way or the other.

And it'd be easy to hack into OpenCV if you really wanted.
It has not been an optimization fence for three years now. I was one of the co-authors of the patch which fixed that.
Yeah I also though the same : this justification is the wrong one (just configure your system or use a distro doesn't log on disk... e.g. OpenWRT doesn't log on NOR/NAND flash !). Regardless of logs, I totally understand that SD-cards are often unreliable (noting that RPi CM4 and also some alternatives such as some Orange Pi include an eMMC which is a bit more resilient). More generally, other justifications (more convincing than this logfile-on-SD issues) could be 1°/ the power consumption of the Pi, 2°/ the complexity of a Linux system (hence vulnerability / attack surface), 3°/ the supply chain shortages on Pis (and costs)...

Anyway, kudos to this board designers ! :)
From the slide show on this side, this is such a lens. Because of the high diopter, the center part is even smaller.

It seems they correct a bit for that by moving the glasses closer to the eye. That increases the angular extent of the lens a bit for the wearer.
True, but depending on how "we" consider the target, it can be judged as the most despicable thing.
Especially given the subreddit has a thread providing the source code for the tracking bot.

I've used Next.js quite extensively by now and I will continue to use it for certain types of projects. I also like JavaScript back-ends for thin APIs and the like. But the absence of a mature batteries-included framework like Rails, Django, Laravel, .Net, etc. baffles me. Many have tried (eg, Meteor), and many keep trying (eg, BlitzJS or NestJS) but none have really stayed, a whooping 14 years after the launch of Node.

I can really buy into using JavaScript on the back-end as a concept, especially with TypeScript - it has the potential for a great DX, and good performance characteristics for most web applications. But I personally can't get over the "bring-your-own-everything" aspect of it. I don't want to think about ORMs, auth, etc. at the start of every project, and change the pieces of that puzzle every couple of years.

People talk about the instability of front-end frameworks but I think the back-end is even worse. If I could ask Tech Santa for something this Christmas, it would be a batteries-included TypeScript web framework that will be adopted massively.
I think that's the defense used by most "doxxing" website.
Is Waymo you know - actually working now? It would be pretty incredible if in the next year they actually started to roll out their service around the world! Exciting times.
the new Next is very close to SvelteKit, because they copied their routing
DANE wasn't deployable. It turns out that a lot of clients out there use some crappy DNS server, maybe they're required to, maybe that's just default configuration but either way that's not going to get fixed.

Crappy DNS servers basically only know how to "make the web work" in the sense it worked in about 1995. They expect questions like A? some.web.server.example and they reply with an IP address, it might be the right IP address, but not always. These servers of course have no idea DNSSEC exists.

When we send them anything else except 1995 style web browser queries they freak out, and either try to reply to it as though it was an A? query or they ignore the query. So you ask FANCY_MODERN_RECORD? web.site.example and it replies with an IP address even though that record's answer is a 64 byte compressed blob, or it silently ignores you...

Here in 2022 things have changed... but only slightly. We mostly got DNS servers to answer AAAA? by doing something at least vaguely sane, in some cases even actual IPv6 answers like the specification says. We think some other records work, although not always. And clients learned "Happy eyeballs" a strategy to just try everything and use whatever worked. But many of the servers out there are still crap.

The biggest change in 2022 is that lots of clients (especially web browsers) talk DoH. If you speak DoH (or DoT or any of these protocols but in practice it's DoH) you can actually get good answers from somebody whose DNS server works, a tremendous improvement. The browsers have by various means forced outfits who run such servers to actually do a competent job. Which means they implement DNSSEC, and, since the transport is TLS encrypted, you can choose to trust their validation answer.

Which means today arguably DANE is somewhat deployable. But more practically, meanwhile we built a bunch of stuff which means instead of clients needing to do DANE, we can get away with DNSSEC to specialists. Many real world web users have crappy DNS, but Let's Encrypt can get traction or change to a different provider or build their own servers or whatever they want because it's part of their core mission.
That’s what they say!

But the police and courts can see through this thinly veiled deceit. Spotting a cat feeder not intent on trapping and neutering their subjects is police academy 101 material.
Webinar: Algotrading with C++ and Python
A word with a name behind it.
Show HN: Real-time visuals for stress and anxiety that respond as you breathe
I’m an NHS doctor and the founder of Pi-A (https://www.pi-a.io) which developed Lungy (https://www.lungy.app). Lungy is an iOS app that responds to breathing and was designed to make breathing exercises more engaging and beneficial to do. It hopefully has many aspects of interest to the HN community – real-time fluid, cloth and soft body sims running on the phone’s GPU.

My background is as a junior surgical trainee and I started building Lungy in 2020 during the first COVID lockdown in London. During COVID, there were huge numbers of patients coming off ventilators and they are often given breathing exercises on a worksheet and disposable plastic devices called incentive spirometers to encourage deep breathing. This is intended to prevent chest infections and strengthen breathing muscles that have weakened. I noticed often the incentive spirometer would sit by the bedside, whilst the patient would be on their phone – this was the spark that lead to Lungy!

I had never coded or developed an app before but had a background in 3D design and Houdini which uses an expression language called VEX. I started to learn Swift and Metal in the evenings during lockdown and eventually, I had a good enough understanding to build a working prototype. After the first year, I won a couple of small government grants to develop Lungy further and build a small team. I managed to find some talented developers, and over 5 months (Nov 21 – Mar 22) we built the basis for Lungy as it is today.

The visuals are mostly built using Metal, with one or two using SpriteKit. There are 20 to choose from, including boids, cloth sims, fluid sims, a hacky DLA implementation, rigid body + soft body sims. The visuals change each day in the free version, and are fully unlocked in the premium version. The audio uses AudioKit with a polyphonic synth and a sequencer plays generated notes from a chosen scale (you can mess around with the sequencer and synth in Settings/Create Music!).

There are obviously lots of breathing and meditation apps out there, I wanted Lungy to be different. Rather than closing your eyes and zoning out, Lungy is about tuning into your surroundings and noticing the world around you, so all the visuals are nature inspired or have some reference to the physical world. I didn’t like that apps like Calm and Headspace require large downloads and/or a wifi connection, so Lungy’s download size is very small (<50MB), with no geometry, video or audio files.

Lungy is initially a wellness app, but I’d like to develop a medical device version for patients with breathing problems such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) & long COVID. I’m collaborating with a prof at UCL to try and complete a feasibility study next year. Thanks for reading - would love to hear feedback!
ty for the first archival of this story that's worked!
A great narrator can create an audiobook that transcends the text. A terrible narrator can render an audiobook unlistenable. I suspect the robots will eventually take over (especially if you can tweak voices to your taste), but until then I'll continue to enjoy the likes of Steven Pacey.
Develop A Millionaire Mindset
Truly wealthy people develop the habit of “getting rich slow” rather than “getting rich quick.” To assure this, they have two rules with regard to money. Rule number one: Don’t lose money. Rule number two: If ever you feel tempted, refer back to rule number one, “don’t lose money.”

FREE FINANCIAL REPORT: The Way to Wealth

Wealth people spend much more time thinking about their finances than people who remain poor. The average adult spends 2-3 hours each month studying and thinking about their money, usually at bill paying time. The average self-made millionaire, by contrast, spends 20-30 hours per month thinking, studying and planning his finances. This millionaire mindset, the very act of focusing on your money, will dramatically improve the decisions you make with regard to it. Wealthy people who invest more time planning their finances invariably make better decisions, get better results, and achieve financial independence.

Do you have numbers of the percentage of people who do get motion sickness from vr? Perhaps 50% of the population not going vomity is a large enough market? Perhaps 10%? As devices get better the market will grow. I can definitely feel off at 60Hz, but no problem so far at 120 if the latency is kept to a minimum.

Those are raw results, not edited for presentation. For example "favourite packages" just gives answers as is rather considering that input was comma-separated list. Interestingly a significant majority of surveyees are from HN and r/emacs. And for anyone seeing the "Vector{String}" and wonders, yes, the framework utilized for the survey is written in Julia.
