There is actually orange on the workbench screen as well in an earlier scene. S4E6,37m40s.

Not sure what they did there, but its not actually a green screen. I think they changed the default colours to make it seem 'old school' so the audience can relate easily in spite of the innacuracy that the (relatively few) A1000 owners would pick up on.

I was mainly curious because I'd never seen an A1000 before, I started 16-bit with an A500, though overall technically I started with an 8-bit 32K Microbee because Dad insisted on something 'educational' over a C64.

I found the C# and HTML code amusing, in a way I think that scene is Stranger Things slightly more authentic version of CSI's creating a GUI in Visual Basic to track an IP adress. Plus they got to make a joke referencing the internet changing the world.
>By that argument, we should abandon silicon for our chips, because we think without it

Evolution has created some of the greatest computational machines. If it was possible to build a programmable biological brain, we'd do it in a heartbeat if that's what it took to develop true artificial general intelligence.

>Heck, by that argument, we should be building androids and putting them into the driver's seat, because humans use hands to drive

Humans don't need to use hands to drive though. We could input steering and throttle controls though many different ways. We have vehicles that are controlled by tilting our bodies in different directions. But the fact of that matter is, that we use vision to see where we're going and the infrastructure is designed for vision.

I'm not sure what your point is, it doesn't seem like you understand his.
> I feel like nano shipping as the default editor is a step-back.

I’ve never used a distribution that includes nano, but not also some variety of vi and/or emacs. And there’s no “favorite”/“default” binding in terminal.

There are defaults in the GUI, however those are almost exclusively Kate or gEdit. And new users probably use those far more frequently as their first editor.

The only qualifier I can figure for nano being a default is the number of tutorials/guides that use it.
In homage to this, there's now `M-x butterfly' in Emacs.
Ask HN: Why are intro to CS courses almost always intro to programming?
We all are aware that Computer Science is not programming and programming is not CS. Then why do almost all introduction to CS courses teach programming in the fancy popular language of the time?

Shouldn't introduction to CS be all about learning principles of the discipline in a broad perspective which then branch out to several specialised subjects later on?

And shouldn't introduction to programming be a separate course that teaches the way to program to achieve some concrete goals like building something?

Example: Wood carving techniques are taught to learn how to carve a piece of wood to build a small sculpture or something. Not to teach the principles of wood carving to become a master wood carving artist. Those things are separate.
I enter normal mode with alt+j, the best thing is that it works with vanilla vim in the terminal.
I wish it was possible to do direct phone to phone data communication, a bit like CB but for data.

Of course the range would be limited because of phone batteries, but at least you would not require a large, expensive network of antennas.

I have asked SDR folks about it but they're not convinced.

Just imagine not having to rely on network operators for tiny amounts of data. Only a phone would be required, without paid subscription.
"A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one." I'll check the book out.
I think you're missing the point a little. Which is that for this to 'work' in any meaningful sense, it has to be scaled up to a planetary level of significant dispersion. This will almost certainly have consequences which we can't model, because of the scale. What does it mean to block out the sun across the whole planet? Photosynthesis on which we all rely to survive, needs sunlight. Even small changes can have dramatic effects on plant growth etc. It's a crazy idea, dreamed up by scientists who read too much science fiction.
I'm in Australia and have those figures handy.

I picked a size that delivers approx the order of 1 million passenger cars worth of C02.

I also wanted to contrast black V. brown coal and to offer a comparison to a large number of cars (allowing people to think of the emissions coming from a city of a few million homes and vehicles (sans industry, which is another facet again)).

If you'd like to generate a table for other sizes then by all means go ahead.

FWiW South Australia (the entire state) recently spent an entire contiguos week using only renewable energy (and exporting via grid to other states an excess), and Western Australia has a significant percentage of renewable energy production (total production higher than SA) as a fully independent grid | state, but still some need for base load production).

Other Aus. states have larger populations and demands and still have a way to go.
Underspecified behaviour in C with software verification
My research and development project that I worked on during my honours year of 2022 was on the topic of “Explicit sequencing of C programs” whereby I looked at ways to improve the current state of Software Verification in Lazy-CSeq with regards to the underspecified evaluation ordering of function arguments and binary operators in the C programming language. The transformation module was written in Python2 (as is standard with CSeq).
Nice. Let's see how much time you pay for art. Meanwhile any other doesn't.

In fact, your artists soon will be creating the "art" with AI and selling to you as "authentic".

Nice try.
That is why you use Emacs. It has `M-x picture-mode` and its successor, `M-x artist-mode'.
Except if you come from the EU and you have a job in Switzerland, you get a permit, more or less _by default_. You are even allowed to stay for 3 months just looking for a job!

Good luck trying that in the US.

Side-note: Having watched a number of "Benefits Britain" episodes recently, I realized that the main reason why the Swiss insist on a permit (for which a job is necessary - or a lot of money) is because certain folks from the East would immediately come and take advantage of the benefits system, as they did in the UK before Brexit.

This behaviour was so alien to me that initially I did not understand the permit situation - why have it if I get it "automatically"? That's why.
No, you can't. Very clearly capitalism when competition is promoted and failure allowed to happen has had the greatest net benefit to the masses.
Systemd's Growth over 2022
to me it's dogmatic bias to build your whole theory on the letters of one person. myths are created all the time and always has been. i guess my problem really lies with what you call evidence.
Doing one kind of test improves your performance on other kinds of tests like playing one ego shooter improves your performance in other ego shooters. Different tests like different ego shooters have similar mechanics, similar UIs.
A MUCH better idea - which will actually change the situation rather than just mask it like this one - is to work towards significantly reducing our emissions. A second idea is to try and reduce our unconstrained consumption. A third idea is to ramp up naturally regenerative practices which mitigate the worst of the current problems. There's no shortage of ideas, many of which are being done right now.
I’m still on Mojave because I hate new UI changes and such. Don’t know for how long it’s last but for now it works.

One annoying thing is that an iPhone SE 2020 that I bought now requires a fresher version of iTunes that is not available for 10.14. I guess I’ll just wait until it annoys me too much and eventually switch to some android.
It makes economic sense to the fellow workers that are from the first world country. H1B visas etc are mainly a tool used by company founders, CEOs etc to keep wages down.

Again, novoShield users are protected from this attack, of course, and we continue to be on the lookout for more signs of malicious intent. so download novoShield from the Appstore now. You can also click https://novoshield.com/sneaky-purdue-edu-phishing/ to learn more about this latest phish bait.
Oh? Well that explains a LOT. That's why it's been repeatedly getting so much traction on Hacker News lately. Baseline commercialism is such a wonderful thing.

Most objections to leetcode are from specialist developers who argue they aren't specialists at algorithms.

I'd expect most generalist developers to know algorithms well. Why? Generalists steps up when specialists are outside of their speciality. Very few teams has specialist algorithm experts, so instead generalists has to step up and solve those problems. If you don't step up in those situations then you aren't a generalist developer, I'm sorry to say it. Most developers are specialists, like most people, including the people here.
I assume you meant 'first person shooter' but are using a literal translation which is amusing :)
good catch, vouched. you're shadowbanned for some reason, fyi.
I don't disagree.

To paraphrase what I said previously: without sufficient non-gaming demand, prices must regress to some degree.
I think it is easier to reason about the theory of time complexity if you understand the code you want to analyze than the other way round.

I must say however, I am not a fan of it teaching the "hip languages of the day". My intro course started with Java which was solid, but they are changing it to Python now - in what I and many professors and lecturers refer to as the "data scienification of CS" - which is a bad thing. We have data science courses, we don't need CS to become one.
This is incredibly unfair to the children of immigrants who have lived in the US all their lives. Leaving out the ethical discussion it doesn't even make sense financially, the government spends all this money on making these people productive members of society and then kicks them out the moment they start paying back into the system. I can't think of a single reason to maintain this system other than "foreign people bad".

It's not even because of dumb racism, as the article highlights through the woman of Northern Irish descent who's white as can be; this is due to an arbitrary definition of "foreign" which I don't think any reasonable person would apply to someone who's lived in their country since they were 3.

On the other hand, I wonder what some of their parents were thinking.

Their children should definitely get a visa or even the ability to apply for citizenship, but the parents knew what problems their kids face once they become adults. Perhaps those waiting on the green card program couldn't have known because the huge wait times weren't a problem when they first arrived and they simply couldn't have known, but for those on temporary visas with no chance to get their children citizenship, they could and should have known. For decades they let their kids work towards an impossible future.

Until immigration policies get fixed, I think it's incredibly unfair towards these children to be forced to go through this. I don't know what parents were expecting to happen when they took their young kids into a country they knew they couldn't stay in, but I can't help but feel they're part of the problem. I don't expect the problem to disappear any time soon either, with Trump aiming at a second presidency and (close enough to) half the American voting population still voting conservatively.
> relatively stable political system

Compared to say Afghanistan maybe, but compared to other developed countries, not really. Political gridlock for most of the time, and a two party system that practically guarantees a constant back and forth with the ones currently in power spending most of their time to undo what the previous ones did during their time in power.

> high trust society (at least for day to day interactions)

That's not the impression i get from the people screaming they need to carry weapons to feel safe.

> but the biggest weakness going forward is a smaller proportion of young workers.

Today's young workers in the US (but that's not in any way a US specific phenomenon) feel that many things that were normal for the previous generation (e.g. home ownership) are simply out of reach. Adding more young people without fixing the underlying issues causing the already existing ones to struggle hard is not going to make anything better.
One reason among many: less keyboard<->mouse hand movements -> less strain on your hands and wrists. Vscode has decent vim bindings btw.
This is very much in line with what the EU tends to do when it comes to their fiscal policy.
For now we only support a react ,vue, angular and web component. So no react native component at the moment. But you can always consume the react library with the provided hooks and implement your own UI using the API.

Exxon and Mobil are part of the industry - note that I said industry and did not specify any particular level of participation.

Is Philip-Morris responsible for lung cancer, just because they purchased and refined the tobacco and sold it to consumers? It's the consumers who bought it and decided to smoke it.
Well, what do we think they actually did, to generate those screens?

Could it in fact have been some kind of strangely configured Amiga generating that display, with some odd customizations?

What about that weird color palette, did they generate something full color, feed it to an component video monitor but leave the blue channel out, or something?

Or was the entire thing just fabricated on modern hardware? The C# and html copy/paste suggests at least some contact with 2020s tech.
Stickiness works in both directions. Even if stores don't reduce their prices, having extra profitability will decrease upward pressure on prices.
Hello, ChatGPT–Please Explain Yourself
Merqueo F1 Filing
How do you even hurt yourself with something that has on-screen help?
>Also, with vision, the best you can do is estimate distance, whereas with radar and LIDAR you are explicitly measuring it.

But is there any evidence you need to measure distances? We humans can navigate the world without walking into walls, so long as we're looking where we're going. For a machine to navigate the world it should be possible to do it via vision. And Tesla's do have multiple cameras to be able to measure depth.

And radar is not a backup for cameras. The resolution of the data is terrible and you can not rely on it to do any sort of driving except braking if it thinks there's an obstacle. Radar is also susceptible to problems as well, which is why Tesla's and other cars with radar can often go crazy thinking you're gonna crash randomly.
>I think you're seeing this pattern because you want to, not because it has any underlying periodic hormonal cause.

If you're correct, then it's quite possible that all the other subjective feelings experienced by the poster are similar ... psychosomatic, maybe?

The placebo effect is a real thing.
The Corvus Concept beat it to market, had a higher resolution bitmapped screen with square pixels, was built on top of the same SVS Pascal compiler as Lisa,
and vanished because it's software was primitive, barely using the capabilities
of the screen and had softkeys like the HP Amigo and no mouse.

http://bitsavers.org/pdf/corvus/Corvus_Concept/

It's essentially what Lisa would have been if the UI direction hadn't changed because of Apple's exposure to the PARC Alto (which also had a 606x808 screen with square pixels).

Fun fact:

Mike Cook, the person who designed the Corvus Concept hardware, ended up going to Apple and
designed the board for the LaserWriter II.
> We have no public evidence yet to know with absolute certainty who is responsible.

correct.

> But an honest assessment of the motives, benefits, costs, not to mention blatant declarations of Biden and State Department flunkies make it 99% clear who was responsible.

They were clearly not talking about physical attacks when they talked about that, but I guess Russian propaganda is going to hook onto whatever it can.

> Whether the British pulled the trigger or some other errand boy is of little consequence.

But it could easy be the Russians who pulled the trigger, they easily had the most to gain and the easiest way to pull it off too. Russia gains a lot by destroying the pipelines.

- they threaten a number of NATO countries energy infrastructure indirectly

- they attempt to force Germany into certifying the new pipeline which would be a big win for Russia

- they get out of any contractual clauses they had about non supply of gas.
Why spend time commenting on a topic that you clearly didn't take the time to educate yourself about?
Presumably there exist multiple organism that live in a balance, some emitting CO2 and other absorbing it. Being a productive member of an ecosystem is fine, but flooding that ecosystem with excessive emissions is not.
The gig economy did not ignore regulations, it existed between them, until new regulations were made. Don't hate the player, hate the game.
Aside from the fact that they require you to use Edge to pass the CAPTCHA.
Why though? I welcome it! The pile could have been used to buy land and extract rent. But no, it was pissed away in a vanity project that is now feeding a robust alternative. That is great! More billionaires should do this and take their oligarch friends with them on the ride.

Of course, the pile could also have been used to drive tech advancement. Yea, that'd been nice. Humanity might have gotten more out of it that way.
> If that guy articulates your thoughts perfectly, then I think neither he nor you know how to use the argument list (or, buffers for that matter) in vim.

> The workflow he is describing works with :bufdo, :argdo, :bn, :n, etc.

It's different because you are losing context. It's not about finding the right buffer, I understand buffers, I have no problem switching between them and finding them. It's about organizing windows in a way that makes sense and then quickly switching between them.

> He is also not describing what is special about tabs. Tabs in vim are groups of windows.

Exactly! And no other editor implements it that way. It's about context switching quickly. I setup my tabs per context and then I can quickly switch back and forth between them, and have all my windows like I left them.

No other editor does it like that (maybe emacs?), because it does not have the concept of vim tabs. Other editors use "tab" to mean "vim window". I'm constantly wasting time recreating window layouts in other editors depending on what I'm working on.

> I’m not sure if you were asking me, but no, buffers are not the reason why I exclusively use vim.

I'm asking what is missing from the IntelliJ vim plugin when it comes to buffers. The concept of buffers is not unique, most modern IDEs implement them the same way. It's why I'm surprised that you mention that buffers are the killer feature of vim, since I don't see anything unique about them compared to other editors.
> While public Wifi providers may try to MITM, TLS effectively prevents that from happening unless you are prone to accept "insecure certificate/connection" warnings.

For connections happening via a browser that's true. For other applications, it depends, since those might happily accept a certificate that has been tampered with without the user being aware of it.

> That said, why did you choose EXpressVPN?

Put snarkily: Because I'm not Edward Snowden and I'm not subject to the same kind of threat level.

At the time (2018), ExpressVPN for me was the right choice in terms of sufficient security for my requirements and - not to be underestimated - user experience.

Other VPN products I tried out back then were more difficult to install and use (sometimes significantly so) and suffered from slow or even regularly dropped connections.
The list you give is very much what I consider normal software developer job (only even a bit wildcard-y is the billing). Any competent developer should be able to write web stuff, maintain their machine and handle setting up and maintaining servers, they should know about common security problems in the kind of product they are developing and GDPR compliance is pretty much a TODO list of data management features.

It is not like you are developing software today and tomorrow working in the kitchen making cakes and yesterday you were laying some asphalt.

I could give anyone of in my team task to prototype Kubernetes cluster. It is just normal computer stuff, but with a new/different tool. It is still very much under the same scope as other skills they need to be able to do their job.
i like this thank you!

how are you going to ensure that your model continues learning. and what will it learn?

How are you going to pay for unlimited use? :D
> Do we need something better or is USB-C "good enough"?

USB-C won't be reasonably "good enough" until all I need to reasonably use USB-C devices with USB-C computers is USB-C cables.

Suppose I have a computer with a USB-C port, and half a dozen USB-C peripherals that I want to connect at the same time.

Before USB-C it was simple when I had way more devices than ports. I'd buy an inexpensive USB hub. The hub connected to a computer's type A port using the same kind of cable that my peripherals used to connect to the computer's A port. The hub had several type A ports that could then by used for my peripherals, using that same kind of cable.

If the peripherals needed more total power than my computer's type A port could provide, I could buy an inexpensive powered hub.

Now, with USB-C, the inexpensive USB-C hubs connect to the computer with a C to C cable but usually only have one (or zero) fully functional USB-C ports for peripherals. The rest are type A ports.

To actually get a hub that adds multiple fully functional USB-C ports to a computer it seems the right now you have to buy an expensive Thunderbolt 3 or 4 hub.

The best I've seen for inexpensive USB-C port expansion is this [1] or this [2]. The first provides 4 downstream USB-C ports, but they are data only, with no power or video support. The second is the same as the first except it also provides a fifth USB-C port that appears to be a power input only you can use with a USB charger to provide power to allow the hub to power or charge your computer.
