Feeling like someone could be watching is a motivating factor for many. If I had a sense that no one would ever find my blog, I might feel more discouraged than otherwise. In this new reality, I am more likely to jot down my notes in a private GitHub repository for future reference.

For another example, look at Spotify. Granted, lots of horrible practices involved here, but the discovery aspect of the product is so good that many of us overlook those issues. I have found & purchased more music simply because of this discoverability. I win, the artists win, etc.

Everyone tends to lose when the discovery mechanisms suck.

It is not theft.

You really need to use the right word, and that word is infringement.

Theft requires someone somewhere be denied something they own and that does not happen when an unauthorized copy is performed.

Using the right words might lead us to better laws we all can live with. Starting with the wrong ones will continue to hurt everyone.
The Fed has a dual mandate. They do not actually want to raise the unemployment rate by itself, only insofar as with the very strong unemployment rates now, it gives them leeway to potentially increase it as they address their other mandate of taming inflation. Inflation in the US, contrary to popular belief, is already almost solved. Since July the MoM inflation per the FRED CPI rate is annualized at like 4%. Once the Fed feels like they have it under control they would not want to continue raising it just to increase unemployment.

The virtue-signalling returns of banning Trump have declined and the "engagement" they'd get from allowing him back is now tempting them again.
Basketball and similar activities probably are what killed my joints. I have MRI pictures of my knees and lower back showing different kinds of damages in each and had sprained ankles several times. These were gradual damages according to my doctor. My hips have felt funny lately, too.

These days, I can barely walk for three days after playing basketball or running, but weight lifting still works.

Anyway, all I can say is that running always made me feel much worse than the short sprints and jumps in basketball, whatever the precise reason may be.

The main criticism I can think of is that with pushup/pullup you're constrained by body weight (unless using a machine to assist, I'm not sure if those exist for pushups). Pullups are thus relatively fatiguing compared to a lat-pulldown or similar. Which might be fine, but it's nice to have more control over loading of the movement, particularly if it's hard to get volume in with a reasonable RPE (ie not maxing out every single set, which can end up inhibiting your progress). Given that I think volume (as opposed to absolute load) is a more useful driver of hypertrophy. Sorry if that's missing the point, if you're constrained to bodyweight exercises then they're a good difficult compound option

Almost no other engineering discipline is volatile like that. So why should SE be? There are trends and fashions, of course, and missteps along the way, but the success of building a bridge has nothing to do with time to market. (The success of selling a bridge still might!) Sure, many engineering fields are similarly at the mercy of erratic consumer or business interests, but the fundamentals of what makes a good fridge or camera or building aren’t decided by the marketing department or some yelling contest on the internet where the winner is who has the most Github stars. Real engineering absolutely progresses in universities hand in hand with the real world, or do you think that institutions like the MIT or Caltech or Cambridge’s School of Technology don’t have anything to do with the success of engineering endeavors everywhere?
Formal logic.
I use PopOS on a newer Legion 5i. Randomly the BT stopped working after a kernel update last year. Sound and wifi will sometimes not work after resuming from sleep even now. This is my average desktop Linux life experience.

Some will trot out their anecdotes that they've never experienced even one issue in decades and others will have showstopping issues at the installer. Both will be right. Anything that doesn't ship with Linux preinstalled is a total crapshoot in my experience of 25 years of using Linux on desktops and laptops. Chromebooks and Android and SteamDecks prove it can be reliable, but it takes coordinated manufacturer effort. Anything else is always a gamble of current support or future updates breaking something that previously was working.

Linux issues aren't necessarily harder to solve than Windows issues, but since software compatibility still remains the motivation for average users to switch still remains minimal, and if you recommend the switch you instantly become that person's IT support.
What observation could have led them to update their estimate to 5 light years diameter? We can measure star distances on that scale using parallax from the earth’s orbit, but the people in the story were walking and couldn’t have gone far enough to measure distances out to light years.

I started on this, after not running for at least 3 years, and gaining 50 lbs. I could skip right to week 4 - so your milage may vary. If you want to get in shape, throw in strength training and most importantly, a good diet.

But cardio is important. I had high blood pressure, got winded after walking up stairs, etc. more or less fixed that after 3 months with cardio.
Shows how important genes are. I think having a huge legacy sorta imbues a will to live.
I didn't see catch this part, but having 10 notes over 4 octaves is not out of the question. If all of those notes are rhythmic, that could be a challenge. All of the fairly wide chords I saw could be played either with sustain or could be easily substituted with spread chords.

Pop pianists don't usually play what's exactly on the page.
If you've got a 10gbps server that's attracting 100gbps of UDP reflection DDoS traffic, and your host has ingress capacity for that, their easy/simple/low cost options to help are most likely null-routing your ip, which doesn't really feel like helping, or dropping udp to your ip.

If you're running a UDP service, you're going to need something more complex. maybe the host can drop all udp but port 80, but maybe the DDoSers can generate the reflection traffic to port 80 instead of random ports. If you're getting too much volumetric DDoS on your service port, you'll need to have some sort of filtering that understands your service traffic better and has enough ingress capacity. Usually that's expensive, not super flexible, and often adds a lot of latency.

I think the $600/week unemployment boost was really a catalyst for a lot of this too. It finally gave so many low wage workers just a minute to breathe and reflect and not worry about their next paycheck. And those few weeks of breathing room was enough to sort of break people out of the rat race and give them time to reevaluate what they want to do. Poverty is very mentally taxing and it can make a huge difference if you have a minute to stop and plan out your life a little bit.
I see this in politics, too. From Joe Biden to George Santos, everyone has stories to tell and Americans eat them up. I really wish we could focus more on policy but I don't see happening anytime soon.

How funny. When I was around 10 my mother sent my sister and me to a 10 finger typing class. We had to practice at home so I started retyping the first Harry Potter novel which was my favourite book during that time. It was after 100 or 200 pages when I left everyone I know behind in terms of speed and accuracy.

>For instance, in serious disciplines such as Mathematics, there is a great focus on scholarship, and building up on predecessors. In computing, we find it hard to come up with a definition of "progress". There is constant "change", sometimes what looks like "improvements" and "corrections", but it is hard to tell whether stuff is really getting better. At best in software, we find "extensions" of concepts/systems. Contrast with mathematics, where there is a clear mounting to higher concepts over time.

This is absolutely true.

One real example of this phenomenon in my opinion: the rise of JSON. In the 90's, the XML was invented to be the silver bullet of the myriad of ad-hoc formats for structuring documents that existed in the wild. So in the XML stack you could find the XSL to ensure the validity of an XML document, the XPath to be a querying language, the XSLT to be a language for writing transformations, etc.

I guess that in the 90's many people regarded XML as the dawn of an era of strict correcteness between data exchanges and the elevation of the contract-based design.

At some point though people deemed XML too verbose and started using JSON. Now with JSON there are multiples conflicting implementations of basic things like a schema mechanism and files and API's that rely many times on natural language to be defined, so an obvious retrocess only because of "verbosity".

You can see this random walk in many other places, with frameworks reinventing the same thing over and over and getting traction besides implementing something worse.

I guess that since technology is a field that receives a big influx of people, the dynamic of the field changes to support people who don't understand completely what they are doing, this doesn't happen with mathematics/chemistry/physics because it's you who have to adapt to them.

> Britain murdered and raped the rest of the world

Now you're just rationalizing what's going on in England today. Every country on the planet fought tooth and nail for all of our existence.

> 1/6th of all British forces in WW2 were Indian

I like how you make the distinction between Indian and Britain.

> values of hard work which the "multi-generational English" people seem to have forgotten

All that hard work only seems to matter in the context of European and North American and Australian countries for some reason.Why isn't India the greatest GDP country on the planet if what you're saying is true?

I'm a huge fan of brown people and all people in general. I'm just not a huge fan of the billions of a singular culture subsuming the world simply because they don't have ecologically responsible numbers of children. Indians are fleeing India but you can't flee the planet.
> I think a lot of people go hard on it and overdo it and then get injured

This is the biggest risk.

Always remember that your bodies ability to adapt is quickest for breathing, slower for muscles and slowest for tendons/joints.

Once many people overcome breathing they go too hard when muscules develop and end up with achilles or knee issues.

But it wasn't only the software, it was the nature of their fulfillment model. Flying direct routes comes with pros and cons. We just saw the cons. Loads of traveler time wasted.

The irony is, the hub & spoke model also wastes travelers' time. It requires transfers and so on. That time adds up. Yes, it has been normalized, but it's still there.

Before we toss SW's model under the bus, someone should calculate the costs of the hub & spoke model to travelers.
That was actually a great question for both parties!

They were filtering out people who were not willing to work 50 hours a week

You were filtering out companies who expected over 40 hours of work a week.

The only complaint I have is they should have put hour requirements it in the job posting so you both filtered each other out before it got to the interview stage.
There are many varieties of push-ups:

Close-grip pushups: To perform close-grip pushups, place your hands closer together than shoulder-width apart. This will increase the challenge on your triceps.

Wide-grip pushups: To perform wide-grip pushups, place your hands further apart than shoulder-width apart. This will increase the challenge on your chest muscles.

Elevated pushups: To perform elevated pushups, place your feet on an elevated surface such as a step or bench. This will increase the difficulty of the exercise.

Plyometric pushups: Plyometric pushups, also known as "clap" pushups, involve pushing up with enough force to lift your hands off the ground and clap them together before returning to the starting position.

One-armed pushups: As the name suggests, one-armed pushups are performed using only one arm. They are an advanced variation that requires a high level of upper body strength.

Knuckle pushups: Knuckle pushups are performed with your hands in a fist position, with your knuckles facing down. They are a more challenging variation that places more of the load on your wrists and forearms.

Diamond pushups: Diamond pushups are performed with your hands placed close together, forming a diamond shape with your index fingers and thumbs. They are a challenging variation that targets the triceps muscles.
You really shouldn't confuse programming culture and game subculture's since they are distinctly different.
Author here, feel free to ask any questions you have :).

It's amazing this little project shows up again here. So far, I received a lot of very positive and friendly feedback about this little pet project of mine.

The whole project would not have been possible without the work of Rene Stange, who created the circle bare-metal library for the Raspberry Pi (https://github.com/rsta2) and Dan Banay, who created a C++ implementation of the Smalltalk-80 VM (https://github.com/dbanay/Smalltalk). I mostly hacked together some glue code...

If you want to dig deeper, the Blue Book by Adele Goldberg and David Robson (scan provided by Stephane Ducasse, thanks a lot!) is _the_ reference on both the language and the structure and implementation of the underlying bytecode VM: http://stephane.ducasse.free.fr/FreeBooks/BlueBook/Bluebook....

Beware, though it's fully functional, crosstalk is still limited by constraints of the original Smalltalk 80 system - e.g. in terms of color (black and white only), possible screen resolution (2^20 pixels, the system crashes if you try to increase the resolution beyond this) and available memory (~1 MB!).

Nevertheless, I think it's a rather authentic reproduction of a more than 40 year old system and I learned (in a comment thread on a completely different topic) that one of our fellow hackernews regulars used it to teach his kid Smalltalk programming - love it! I haven't tried to optimize it significantly, so there's no JIT compiler or bitblit acceleration using the Raspberry Pi GPU.

There's a more modern bare-metal Smalltalk implementation based on Squeak (https://squeak.org) for the Raspberry Pi by Pablo Marx, though this seems to have some stability problems according to the author: https://github.com/pablomarx/RaspberrySqueak

Finally, if you are interested in alternative bare-metal language/OS environments for the Raspberry Pi, you could also give Lukas Hartmann's (of MNT Reform notebook fame) Interim OS a try: http://interim-os.com
Animals viciously murdering each other for food is also natural, that doesn’t mean it’s preferable.

>For example, we could add a hefty tax on any home that isn't owner-occupied.

But why are home prices going up? Is it because non occupying buyers are bidding with each other to drive up prices beyond what is rational? If so, banning those buyers might indeed bring prices down to a saner level. However, if prices are high as a result of supply and demand (ie. more people want to live in desirable places and we can't build more homes to accommodate), then banning non occupying buyers won't do much. Given how the overwhelming majority of home purchases are still done by owner occupiers, I'm very skeptical that it's the former, and it's much more likely that it's the latter.
>I don't want to use Windows, when I hunt for jobs I avoid jobs that do not offer mac/linux laptop. This is probably immature.

I don't think that is immature at all. As a professional it is perfectly reasonable to expect to have good tools. If, for what your job involves, Linux / Mac is significantly better (for you) you are right to insist on it.

If you were applying for jobs as a carpenter you'd be right to ignore any that only provided a hammer.
do you think cities of the future will be car free? why or why not?
Yeah, I've got flat feet and running has always been torture. Even when I was otherwise very fit and trim.
As someone in the risc-v education space, it has been very cool to see RIPES develop. It seems like I blinked and it gained a lot of features. It gives you the most information about how a program might run.

> Why does someone’s position need to change? That implies that somebody is wrong, and that’s not necessarily the case.

Depends on your purpose in talking. My purposes are to inform people of things, to request information about things, to ask people to do things, to play, or to indirectly express approval(hug) or disapproval(hiss.)

If I'm arguing with somebody, I should either be improving the quality of their information or improving the quality of my own, or determined to convince somebody that they should do something. If I'm playing, by definition I can't be seriously arguing. The only people who care about my approval or disapproval as such are my parents and other loved ones; to other people the news about my current feelings as an individual aren't important, and if other people who didn't care about me found them important, they wouldn't want innuendo, they'd just want the facts.

If we have two incompatible opinions about something, yet we have no desire to bring them into agreement, why are we even arguing about it? Surely there's something better we could be doing.

I think a lot of people have started to think that the internet loves or hates them personally, and are desperate for its approval in an unhealthy way. The fact that there's money to be made in being noticed on the internet makes the situation even worse.

> For example, it’s easy to say “fuck cars” when you live in the city and they are only polluting, noisy nuisances that are, at best, optional for living your life. But when you live where I do, not having a car means a significant number of unreasonable changes to your life.

"It's easy to say that if you're you" isn't part of any legitimate argument. It's just extraneous ad hominem that people add while making (or eliding past) an argument. It also doesn't get you out of explaining "significant number" or especially "unreasonable," which begs the question.
What's the alternative for those of us who suffer from Plantar Fasciitis(sp)?

I think running is attractive because it's one of the most effective sports at burning energy, and it's entry level. Shoes, and some loose clothes.

In the past I've lost weight from a bunch of different sports and running worked the best. It's just the most intense pure sport, without mechanical assistance.

They do not understand technology. Moments of brilliance like UPI get drowned out by mountains of incompetence.
I have a question that this is probably not the best forum for:

I don't run, but know plenty of people who do. Everyone is running what I would call marathon-style, by which I mean their goals are measured in how far they can reliably run/ how fast they can do a relatively long distance, 5K being the lower bound.

To me, running shorter distances very fast seems just cooler and more exciting, say 500 meters. 100 meters seems a bit much as it's over very fast.

Why isn't this kind of running nearly as popular? And how would one get into that, rather than long distance running?
yes. average life expectancy tells you very little about how long YOU will live
