Whoa, I was very sure that the SM124 did 100Hz, but you're right. I stand corrected! And I agree that the combination of the great monochrome monitor and the built-in MIDI made the ST much better suited as a music production machine.
The comment you are replying to did not say that he should be denied bail. Only that the rules should apply to him too. 10% is the most common requirement, he didn't meet it.

His completion of WoT was fine, and my favorite part was original to him, but it was pretty clear he’s the squarest man alive and has never been in the same room as the concept of sex. And one or two of the added characters were clearly there just to have extremely plot-convenient special magic talents. But that did lead to some very efficient KPI-meeting books. So if you’re a systematizing turbonerd, go wild.
"Permissionless development" - want to develop a RISC-V core? Just download one from github or design your own from the freely available specs. No legal agreements to enter or licensing fees to pay. Very different model from Arm (sign a legal agreement before you start and pay for licensing) or x86 (you want a license? LOL)

RISC is hardly dead. It more accurate to say it won so comprehensively that it's pervasive. The design principles are now used in every significant chip (including x86).
You basically said absolutely nothing in 5000 words.

It's only that simple before you actually own any resources. Even just having a tenant will make things more complicated than that.
Very nice, I have some questions tho - did esp got better than it used to be? I mean - all esp devices i've used had MTBF between 1-2 weeks. And what about zigbee 3.0 - how does it compare to this (from all points of view)?
> Why don't you segregate funds between Wikipedia and the rest of WMF?

Managing restricted donations is a pain from an accounting perspective and incurs a lot of overhead. I don't deal with nonprofits at WMF's size, but most that I've been a part of won't manage restrictions unless the donation is very large. The amount of additional fundraising that comes in for even pre-defined restrictions isn't worth the overhead of it.
Have been on the feedly train ever since google axed reader, was able to transfer all feeds via import ++ will help you get some kinda feed (can break with big site redesigns but has been pretty solid) from sites without RSS. Haven't needed to shop around at all since 2013.
The way I've seen this choice done that makes it easy (for me as a director of software dev) to buy into is a hybrid. You can pay $x/mo or $10x/yr. If you pay for the year, you don't have to do it as a subscription, but if you don't renew then you're stuck on the last version released during that year.

FontAwesome, TablePlus, and some others I've paid for multiple seats on do this and it's great. Some we just paid for the one year, and others we were able to see enough ongoing value to keep paying on the subscriptions.
It only has a shot of coming back if enough people decide that Google searches are pointless. We might be getting there, actually. I'm not optimistic, but the idea that Google search results suck seems to be more mainstream in the last year outside of the HN crowd.

Oh, I say this because Google and other search engines that derive from it are unlikely to yield results that are worth reading or subscribing to. If this were the Google of 2006, RSS might have been something they'd bake into their results. They'd never allow that today. It's all about serving ads on GPT generated bloogs now.
That's a very weak dismissal. I wasn't aware of any common knowledge that markets go pro-consumer direction 95% of the time they make significant moves. Did I miss something? Do you have more to back that up?

Competition is very imperfect in a huge amount of markets, especially ones undergoing major changes.

I don't understand how OP could take that seriously. I can't think of anyone who has built a successful business and can trace their origins back to "I was very inspired by people on Twitter". I thought it would have been obvious that real success takes real work. "Digital influencers" are nothing more than sad people craving for attention online. Their success relies on idiots trying to mimic their "success". It's an emotional Ponzi scheme. Don't get stuck swimming in their vomit.
Some would call it a skill ;-)
This is true, the monochrome monitor only did a bit over 70Hz. I was corrected in another comment in this thread.

UI doesn't change because UI folks have nothing to do, it changes because people love to complain, and sales loves to be able to tell customers "we made that change you asked for".

If you like an app and don't want the UI to change, tell the company. as long as all the people who like it are silent and all the people who don't like it are complaining loudly, apps are going to keep changing.
Same for me - sometimes UI changes aren’t good, but usually they were addressed

How can we be opposed to tulip bulbs? They're even better! They're growable money!

We don't necessarily have a problem with "programmable". It's the "money" part we have serious doubts about. The huge swings in value do not persuade us that it's very good at being "money".

The other issue is that it's designed to be able to avoid all government control, which means all regulation. Events from Mt. Gox up to FTX show that the regulations serve a useful (or at least necessary) purpose. Avoiding them - making them impossible - leads to a financial world where many people lose their shirts.

Those criticisms have substance. They are anchored in events that actually happened.
If they have more money than they need, it is natural to expand the scope of the mission. You could argue that they are doing a poor job at this, but I don't see any case that they shouldn't be continuing to collect more donations. It's better to have the money and waste it than not have the money and not waste it.

I agree with this wholeheartedly: if someone “wants to be a writer” the best thing they can do is read and experience life until they understand something so well they don’t want to do it anymore.

Then maybe they can write about it.

What we have instead is people selected for syntax, network, and ego, vomiting as loudly and often as possible.
Genuinely curious, not challenging you: Do you have trouble figuring out the on/off state on iPhone toggles? They've always been obvious to me, but I have seen bad toggles out in the wild.
Assuming you are talking about Haber, you couldn't be more wrong. He was actually a German Jew (convert to Lutheranism) who was forced out of his position when then Nazis came to power than died en route to Mandatory Palestine in 1934.

He discovered the Haber process around 1911, which was well before WWII and it was intended for fertilizer only. Eventually people realized that mass ammonia production was very helpful for chemical warfare, and many (including French nobel winners like Grignard) engaged in it.

The Zyklon B synthesis is a red herring.
An ankle monitor doesn't do anything to prevent you from fleeing, since it can be removed with any number of readily available tools.
Furthermore, communicate why the function is disabled. Nothing is more frustrating than knowing a function existents but not knowing the conditions required to enable it.
Subscribed back in the day to a lifetime deal for Feedly, which is very good at filtering out themes/keywords I'm not interested in.
On the app side, I haven't found anything more enjoyable than Reeder (mac and iOS). Keyboard shortcuts are great too.
Well, if I get to put ankle monitors on you, put you under house arrest, confiscate your passport and send you to jail if you don’t make payments on time…creditworthiness might not be the main factor in my decision.
To be fair, there is some research about IQ having a genetic component, which one can do by comparing twins with the same DNA and twins without the same DNA [citation needed]. People who are curious and have the drive to keep learning are going to have a higher IQ, and personality has a genetic trait.

Just like you, I think IQ is very trainable. It is very common to have questions about logic, which may be represented as Venn Diagrams, or visual questions with multiple parts, each one following a logic...

<appeal to authority> I say that as someone who "started" with 110 QI according to a Orkut online test, and grinded my way to 145 according to different online tests. </appeal to authority>

For that reason people who learned how to prove things in math are naturally going to have a higher IQ: they learned how to solve some questions in the test.

First, we're not talking about simply legal vs illegal, there's also ethics and civics involved.

These venues are often publicly funded, supported by public services, are generally open to the public. So all such actions around banning members of the public for their identity (versus their behavior or conduct at the venue) should be given heightened scrutiny.

To your point, I do not agree that the venue should be able to ban someone simply for who they work for.

But the technology is what enabled the venue to identify and ban this lawyer, so it is a simply augmenting the scale of abuse by increasing the "hit rate" of recognition that the owner standing outside the venue wpuld.

It is a force multiplier of discrimination. And it reduces the cost of such discrimination significantly.
WebRTC is pretty good at getting through complex NAT constellations, trying to punch through NATs via STUN/ICE and falling back to TURN in case that fails (but the latter requires a central coordination server).

It only needs a lightweight signalling server to relay each client's ICE candidates (which is more or less an opaque string to the server) to their peers, and if that succeeds, they can communicate P2P (audio, video, and even opaque byte streams).

All of the complex NAT traversal logic and the encrypting P2P protocol stack is baked into all modern browsers (or non-browser clients using a WebRTC library); the only thing that's needed is the signalling server, and practically a STUN server to facilitate ICE (but these use very little bandwidth and there are public ones available).
That is quite pricey for an ebook, but if it's as good as you say, it seems worth adding to my library.
Thank you for the recommendation!
I've taught C at university level, and used to give crash courses to new college grads and interns in industry.

The one thing I impart the most from the beginning is to develop good instincts for secure interfaces. You should be able to look at function signatures and see alarm bells for unsafe practices. For someone skilled at C this is second nature, you can see bad practices from a distance, often at the function signature level.

I think it would be unwise to neglect this.

Right. And the problem with rounding error businesses at large companies is that:

1. They're a distraction and

2. It's probably very career limiting to work on them.

Someone at IBM told me years ago that if something wasn't going to be a billion dollar business they weren't interested. And Google walked away years ago from organizing the world's knowledge if advertising wasn't attached.

That's why UI elements should almost never appear and disappear. There's a reason that GREYING OUT disabled controls has always been a fundamental concept of GUI design. It shows users that the function exists, where it exists, and that it's conditional.

Peek-a-boo UI is incompetent. It's even dumber when you consider that, in most cases, the space for the disappearing controls has already been reserved; so nothing is gained by hiding them.

And almost as bad as peek-a-boo UI is "flat" UI, where most controls aren't demarcated as such. So you're reduced to clicking on plain text labels and other inert-looking components to see if there are hidden goodies associated with them. Absurd.

This is age-related only in that that it's about visual cues, which are the entire point of GUIs to begin with. Physical buttons on a device are inherently discoverable, as were the controls in GUIs for decades. Younger people are used to the incompetence of newer designs, and more tolerant of having to click every pixel on the screen to find things. It's unfortunate.

The bright spot is that there has been some backlash against the "flat" laziness and a return to some visual cues.

I started off 2022 with learning c and it’s a lot of fun!

As some other commenters, I really recommend Modern C by Jens Gustedt.

If you’re on Linux you can use man pages for most or all of the c stdlib, it’s a really convenient way to check up on stuff directly from the terminal, less tempting to rabbit hole into something else while in a browser.

I started contributing to a really small open source project, it was less daunting than a large well written, well formatted project and you get to run into “accidents”, figure them out, fixing them, learning from the experience. I realise this is a matter of personal preference, for me it’s a nice learning experience.

Also having (or making) friends who knows c is really helpful.

Good luck!

>He's drawn one of those circle-in-a-slot switches. I often have trouble figuring out what the on / off state of those is supposed to be.

iOS has an option to display I/O labels on these toggles too, and as it turns out, not everyone knows that I/O refers to on/off. I found out about this when I had to explain to a friend that those symbols meant open and closed respectively on the vents in a car.
I've tried this at home, and quickly realized the costs of the lights and electricity don't make this approach very practical. I've been wondering how they overcame this in the larger commercial setups, turns out they never did.
Interestingly in mind they are. I believe that becoming a successful guitar player is just as hard as becoming a successful entrepreneur, swimmer or a chess player. Does it appear to be that the number of successful people in the world in each of these 4 is roughly the same?

What are your requirements to find the remote work. If you can share more, happy to advise since a mid/senior level dev with reasonably popular skill should not have a lot of trouble finding work (in my opinion). So perhaps there is something with your requirements that is not working for employers ? Or maybe you are not as good as you think you are and employers are not seeing the value to match your ask.
I think it's wrong in the majority of cases, which makes it a bad principle.
Myself and others would consider your experience unique/not the norm. If you don’t mind me asking, what was the mechanism used to obtain those jobs? Was it primarily via networking or word of mouth, did you have some type of in? Or were your jobs with smaller employers or startups perhaps? Because in “The Enterprise” you’ll be disqualified straight away if you don’t have a certain amount of experience in a certain framework.

If I had a nickel for every time I’ve tried to explain that every new technology I’ve learned I’ve picked up on the job and specific framework experience is largely irrelevant, I’d be a rich man.

For example, I’ve been a software engineer for 27 years using tech stacks primarily within the Java ecosystem but encompassing many different frameworks, languages, databases etc. However, getting a job in a similar or even identical business domains but on the .NET tech stack would be next to impossible.
I am surprised that this didn’t stay on the front page.

> requires a base assumption that American capitalism always produces an optimal state, which is just obviously wrong.

Optimal for who? Your definition of "optimal state" is one-sided: optimal for the consumer, which forgets about the producer.

Your streaming example is great. In the beginning there was Netflix, and it was good (for consumers). But content producers were leaving a lot of money on the table. So now we have N number of streaming services, and N companies are making money with it. We consumers of course would _prefer it_ if we only had to pay one service, but I don't see Disney+ going out of business; clearly we are annoyed yet willing to pay. Viola, capitalism has optimized for the most money possible flowing through the system.
