I discovered Inform 7 last year and was impressed at the sophisticated platform it provides for writing interactive fiction in semi-natural English. In the 1980s there were plenty of books about writing text adventure games (as they were more widely called then) on home microcomputers, and I learned a lot about programming Acorn computers from Peter Killworth's "How To Write Adventure Games for the BBC Microcomputer Model B and Acorn Electron". So to give Inform 7 a try, I implemented the mini four-room adventure from that book, and wrote a walk-through of how to do it quite neatly with the building blocks of Inform 7 here in case anyone's interested: https://www.eclecticstacks.com/post/mini-adventure-in-inform...
I'm suspicious of this as well. It's common for OSS C and C++ projects (at least in embedded) to be mostly undocumented / few comments, have no easy way to debug by printing to console, and have a complicated build process that requires a certain OS and setup.

Top doc comment: The same license info that's in every file. Not helpful for describing what the module does and how it fits in with the rest of the project.
> But I think in retrospect it's clear Apple could not afford this kind of ISA move in addition to all the crazy OS work they were doing

You might be surprised. Apple did an x86 port of Classic MacOS, based on DR-DOS.

https://lowendmac.com/2014/star-trek-apples-first-mac-os-on-...

That is not the problem. Even emulating the apps isn't the core problem.

Drivers, and support for the vast range of x86 hardware, was the problem, and secondarily, using the underlying hardware and supporting an MMU, memory protection, and preemptive multitasking... those were the big problems, and in the end, all Apple's attemps to solve them failed, and it moved to UNIX.

That worked, but it needed to happen when it became viable to run the entire "legacy" OS in a VM, and that didn't come until around the turn of the century. That was not feasible in 1992.

Ask HN: How to find mentors?
How do you find mentors? I'm a 30 something engineer who has never had great technical mentors mostly because of working in startups with few experienced engineers. I've had many business people mentors over the years but not as many engineering mentors as I'd have liked.

So how does one go about finding mentors when you do not work closely with them? Is there a better strategy than simply reaching out on email/linkedin and hope for the best?
Add crypto to that list too.
Hi Kent,

I've read a few of your substack entries, and I'm having a hard time drawing out the point of the thought exercise in this one. Attribution and packaging - if that's what stamping and slicing means - aren't inherently at odds with making products people want or dividing labor efficiently.

Consumers should drive the latter, and product owners should manage the former, though incentivizing them to do so is tricky.
Yeah, people who share similar values can communicate and work together better, but this isn't discrimination.

On this basis the whole hiring field and each and every interview is discriminatory because the companies want to select who they want to work together with based on the candidates skills/values.

Reading long-form fiction or nonfiction takes a lot more concentration and attention. The dopamine hit is much more quick. It's the same reason fast food and sugar is so popular.

I don't think it is at all related to what others said about "most people can write" (those people have probably not tried actually writing fiction) -- especially not with today's music production tools and how easy they are (FLStudio, Garage Band, etc.).

You also have to keep in mind the power laws are just slightly different here. There are some very very rich writers, that are far richer than even the best-selling musicians of all time. Stephen King and J. K. Rowling, for examples.

It's just a market. More people are interested in consuming and paying for an album, because it takes 45 minutes to listen to, whereas a single book might take 10+ hours to read.

Nonsense. It doesn't have to be a perfect model to still be a useful one. It's precisely because it's so unintuitive that it's interesting. Your introduction of a positive sum mechanic doesn't invalidate the model. Introducing a $new_value component still begs questions around who gets access to that value - and if the yard sale model holds, even perfectly equal distribution of that $new_value suffers from exponential outcome drift for anything except ridiculously high ratios of $new:$old - and in the real world, value is disproportionately captured by the already wealthy [0].

But hey, internet for you lazy proles, pull yourselves up by your shoelaces etc.

Well, what is "economy"? Economy exists because we split work, and we do that to optimize taking care of our needs. I make tools for more efficient hunting, you do more efficient hunting with that in order to get food not just for you, but for others, including me, with these. It also means if machines do most of that work there will actually be less economy, but more free time for humans.

If you look at what is commonly called "economy", more and more of what is done there actually has a negative real economic value, it effectively hurts humans. The reason behind that is how we measure this economic value: It is completely broken. But as long as people strongly believe in this garbage, everything is focused on that, even it is trailed by chaos and destruction.

So capitalism, at least in its current form (neo-liberalism), fails as hard as socialism or communism, for that matter. Reason for that: Humans.

I also don't think anyone expects completely equal distribution of everything, but things are so far off in the other corner by now that something needs to be done, fast.

Rust does not guarantee that there are no memory leaks, you can have things reference eachother and therefore never count to 0. This is why weak pointers exist in rust.
> a heavier object moving through a fluid over a certain time will decelerate less than a lighter object

True

> and so will require less energy to bring it up to the speed it had before decelerating, because the difference in speed will be less

False

The higher inertia of the heavier object resisted the deceleration, and that same higher inertia will resist acceleration too in exactly the same way. You've gained nothing at all.

> For the same reason, you would not ride while dragging an open umbrella behind yourself, but you'd have no problem putting a metal cube of the same mass on your stem. It's the ratio of cross-section and mass.

Now you're talking about aerodynamics which is a whole different matter. For aerodynamics, cross-section is of course a major factor (not the ratio of cross-section and mass!). That's pretty obvious, but has nothing to do with a discussion about mass.

(Ratio of cross-section and mass is relevant for things in free fall, because there gravity is the relevant force. Completely different from a vehicle on a flat road.)

From the video, it looks like a lot of their time signatures are actually 4:4, it's just that they use those beats in very inventive ways.

Just googled a random guitar tab [1], and can see 4 different (3 very odd) time signatures in the first 20 seconds or so. Perhaps Meshuggah's style is a mix of both quirky signatures (11:8, 7:4 etc) and quirky use of traditional signatures (4:4, 8:4).

Why is programming easy for those who're not academically inclined?
I've found this a lot in my class. I'm from Nepal. Those who are not very academically inclined find programming easier than those who are more academically inclined. Correlation!=causation.

So, my question is why is programming coming easy for some people whereas it comes hard or never comes for others?
Part of that is scope (Kubernetes does so much more) but most of it is the benefits of decades of experience and having a clean design. Java application servers were designed by and for Java applications so they blur a lot of lines whereas a Java (or Python or Node, etc.) developer can use Kubernetes without learning any Go tools.
Not saying that nefarious things weren't happening, but keeping lines of communication open between exchanges is reasonable and is not per se evidence of wrongdoing.

For example, if someone steals a bunch of coins from exchange A then you would want exchanges B and C to be able to made aware of that ASAP so that they can stop the movement of those coins.

I mostly use LinkedIn as a place to curate my CV (resumé) and I reckon they'd be weak to a challenger who used that as their route into that market. Doubly so if they can figure out how to get the candidates to pay instead of the recruiters (there are more of us).
> (and editing ≠ writing)

This. For many years I though I had to write like I read, that the words had to be perfect the first time -- like you are used to read. But the finished work is nothing like the first draft. Just write, don't stop even to fix typos. Never stop the flow. Then, once you have dumped your brain into words, leave it for a while and come back to do the editing later.

Like Stephen King also mentioned in his book (on Writing): write the first draft with the door closed, and the second with the door open. The first draft is for you, the second is for an audience (of selected people).

I wrote a quick blog post about it a while back: https://blog.torh.net/2022/06/14/writing-is-hard/
It really depends on several factors, and won't be something you crack in 5 minutes. But let's say you have a hunch of what the original data was. If it was plain text and you know what language, you can pull up statistics of which letters appear with which frequency in that language. The longer the encrypted data, the better those statistics will apply. So you just take whatever byte appears most and assume it's an "e" (or whatever) and work your way from there.

If you know the input must be a jpeg, you can look up the file structure, especially the header, so you already know what the first couple bytes of the decrypted file have to look like. Boom, you already know the first couple bytes of the key. And no matter whether you use your original method or the xor method, if you know the length of the key, for example 256, you can also immediately decrypt a few bytes every 256 bytes into the file. You can then work your way from there, using other properties of the file type you're trying to decrypt to.

If you know multiple files have been encrypted with the same key, it gets even easier as you can infer information across all those files.

The xor method would only be truly safe if your key is as long as the data to encrypt, never gets reused and was generated using a secure random number generator.

> if you imagine a scenario like a university I find it more likely the Provost's office can figure out how much to give to which Dean than they to be able to figure out how much to give to which lab.

If left to the provost or dean, the money will inevitably be distributed equally between all faculty. Once the money enters the university, there is no longer a separation between funding agency and recipients. And since 'equally' is the least complex/controversial way to distribute the funds, that's where it will eventually settle. (Hm, perhaps I am a misanthrope).
Of course. That’s the price you pay for getting a high salary and big benefits. And that’s why the effective beneficiary cares about who owns the things or who actually really control the thing. I have seen this dynamic way too many times (especially with spouses being “CEOs” or directors)

There are plenty to choose from. Samsung or Mediatek didn't invent all the stuff in their SoC, and neither did Apple. GPU IPs are available from ARM ( Mali ) and IMG ( PowerVR ). FPGA form Lattice which Apple are using. DSP and other 5G modem solution from CEVA. There are plenty of options to choose from. And as far as I am concern, none of them are as far ahead, or as difficult to overcome than CPU design.
