It's a little verbose and can probably be reduced, but "((x % m) + m) % m" always works. Although it's probably not better than a check if x < 0 since branch prediction will get that right almost always.

I do think it's quite odd and frustrating that modulo can return negative numbers and I don't really get the reasoning there, but there's probably a good reason I don't know about.

if you are targeting more than one specific platform, do you like, include the immintrin.h header and use #ifdef to conditionally use avx512 if it's available on someone's platform?
I wrote the code for the Mattel Hockey game prototype, which ran on a single board computer that fit in an attache case. It was a 6800 or a 6502 uP, I can't remember which one. The board was custom designed and wire-wrapped.

https://www.8-bitcentral.com/miscellaneous/electronicHockey....

This work was done at Aph Technological Consulting.

Glenn, the owner, got pulled over by security at the airport a couple times with that attache case. He had to prove it was a game by powering it up and playing it. It attracted a lot of attention, which he loved.

Once the game worked to Mattel's satisfaction, it was handed over to Mattel's engineers to convert it to work on the target 4 bit processor.

AFAIK, nobody ever thought to take a picture of it. I think I got paid something like 3 bucks an hour to write the code for it. My first programming job! The game was based on the earlier Baseball game, just reworked the code.

The code was developed on a PDP-11, as Aph had developed macro assemblers for the uPs that ran on the -11. The resulting object code was downloaded onto the SBC and run. Aph had an enormous advantage with those macro assemblers, as everyone else tried to edit the code on the uP itself with miserable software.

I later went on to program the Intel Intellivision Roulette game.
Bringing to court will take another $100k, probably tied up for years.

If you haven't upgraded in a long time, the CPU+MB+RAM combo is a necessary upgrade. You also very likely need to upgrade your PSU, because the 550W of old will not be enough. And you most likely need to upgrade your GPU, unless you want to slap a 10 year old GTX970 to keep playing recent games in 720p with your 24 core CPU. You can bring in hard drives/NVMes, and eventually any additional PCIe cards.

So, no, any upgrade not done in the last 5 years means pretty much a full rebuild now. New sockets + DDR5 means that your old build is going to hit a brick wall.
I completely agree with this. Much like when a “trademark” becomes common speech and loses its protection, cultural artefacts should move into the public domain.

Not based on time, based on their value to the culture.
Another reminder to have another payment processor ready to go.

I need to see some horror stories about authorize.net or the big banks for comparison. At least the banks have staff you can talk with.

My desire to theme my desktop has declined linearly with age (along with my general desire to spend time futzing around with things for no material gain). I suspect 99% of people follow the same path.
Ask HN: what tech jobs are best for creatives to re-train into?
I’m a creative freelancer (music composer, audio producer, sound designer, writer) and I am sick of making so much less money than everyone else (and interest rate rises are highlighting my issue for me).

I’ve been reading around to find out what sort of jobs I might re-train for in IT/tech more broadly, and I’m wondering what you’d recommend. I have no coding experience, so would be starting from scratch. I don’t particularly care if I work in music or podcasts or radio any more - I just want more of a steady income and a realistic earning potential in the future.

Where I am (Australia) arts and media jobs are hard to come by and this situation is getting worse, so I’m hoping to be able to switch careers to avoid the inevitable, but hope some of you will have tips for the smoothest transition.
I will buy a copy for sure, when you type it out as an ebook.
I've read that co-founders are the norm for YC. It seems to be a rare exception for solo founders to be accepted, you'd probably have to prove you're the next Google for that. But then even Google had co-founders.

I'd say don't take it too personally. If you search the YC companies directory it would not be easy to find a solo founder company. The lack of interest you saw could have been that they had already decided that you needed a co-founder early in the process.

It's actually quite good to have made it to the interview stage.
As technologists we should bare witness to the consequences our way work has in the world and seek to blunt them. You can personally opt out by ignoring these stories.

Go Built-In Slice Manipulations Are Incomplete
What's going to be a good balance between convenience and financial safety?

Maybe start with Stripe because it's easy but use only the very basic functionality. If the business starts to grow, add an old style bank, one with humans to talk with, and move all the transactions there. Then say goodbye to Stripe.

Could that work?

Hrm...

The Moon's orbit will decay to the point that solar eclipses are no longer possible in about 600 million years. The Sun will continue to rise and set following that point, in all likelihood.

This is however about the same time that the carbon-silicate cycle will have been disrupted to the point that C3 photosynthesis is no longer possible. Humans (or their descendant species) may not be observing either lunar or solar eclipses by that time, at least not from Earth.

And by 1.5--4.5 billion years from now, still within the main solar sequence, the Moon will have drifted far enough from the Earth that the Earth's axis is no longer stabilised by the Moon. By this point, even lunar eclipses might no longer be possible.

(The other factor is that the Moon drifts so far out that it orbits outside the Earth's umbra, such that total lunar eclipses no longer occur, though "blood moon" penumbral eclipses could still happen. I don't know what the timeline for this might be. But again, so long as the Earth itself rotates and isn't consumed by the Sun, sunsets will still occur.)

By 800 my to 1.6 by, solar luminosity will have increased to the point that life on Earth's surface is likely impossible.

Wikipedia, "Timeline of the Far Future": <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_far_future>

Sidenote: Past events are designated using the abbreviations kya, mya, bya, etc., (thousand, million, billion years ago). I'm not aware of a standard abbreviation for time in the future, though it would seem kyf, myf, byf, etc., might be reasonably used for this. Or perhaps "kyp" or "kyn" (thousand years from present, thousand years from now).

Seems that "FY" has at least some support: <https://www.abbreviations.com/abbreviation/future%20years>
I am small business owner and I use stripe since 2015 for a million+ of sales a year.

In the last year or two I noticed they have become more and more arrogant. I am talking early/mid 2010’s Facebook / Google arrogant.

I understand stripe is a successful company and it’s not easy to infuse a culture with so many people. But I surely hope they can turn this around.
No, I don't think they are. They have enough internal smarts to replicate, and their core business has a huge buttress. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if Google makes a LOT of noise about erroneous ChatGPT results: if you could magnify a competitor mistake then why not?

Scared is an odd concept. A reaction from Google does not have to mean they are scared: if overall market and traffic size increases, even declining market share can be a relative measure against total revenue growth (I do expect some revenue fall from search but not necessarily because of ChatGPT. The worldwide economy is flat: people buy less, and so search less for things which cost money to acquire which is what paid search placement depends on for revenue)
Angling the wheels slightly outward would at least work to course-correct if the weight of the contraption gets slung out. If the car leans left it'll have the most weight on the left-angled wheels, putting it back on all four wheels. The mirrored situation happens if the car leans right.
Dear posters of these HN support threads, would you please also provide links to your stores/websites? At least hundreds of thousands people reading these threads every other day would know that the businesses are in fact legitimate, and Stripe is wrong.

All these anonymous posts might as well be competitor's marketing strategy. I know that maybe in Stripe's case it might be all true, but where are we going with all this blind one-sided outrage?
I guess my question is - what is to be done? Even C++ is quite slow to compile. If all rustc development stopped and there was a years-long effort to write it "fast", what sort of improvements could we see?
Whether a startup has formalised a new product’s roadmap or not, every product released will undergo multiple distinct phases of development, from the seed of an idea through to launching it to market and beyond.

According to a new report, the global product development lifecycle management market is set to grow from $33.03 billion in 2021 to $35.69 billion in 2022. As the world economy begins to stabilise after the dust of the COVID-19 pandemic settles, startup companies are once again fuelling their efforts into bringing new products to market to meet new demands.
x86 CPUs have been essentially black magic for a while now. If anything, what's described here is on the dumber side for things an x86 CPU from the past decade or two is doing behind the scenes to operate as fast as it does.
The whole point of this topic is to bring stripes' attention to his/her case
That is true, but we have heard many of these stories that could only be resolved by using HN. How many more stories are there, that we don't here about because the affected people don't know HN? At some point it becomes a pattern.
Just call it Sword and Sorcery, that's a genre so presumably can't be trademarked?
Maybe if HN made their funded companies actually provide any kind of competent support, desperate people wouldn't have to?

That's a lot of machinery which I feel is going to benefit relatively few people and cases. I suppose I should learn it just in case but my suspicion is that MS is adding extra stuff which they hope people will use which will act as a lock-in to C#. Ergo the benefit of this is to MS not to the end user ISTM.
The information regarding laws regarding women is out of date- the driving ban ended in 2018 (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-44576795) and the government is explicitly trying to increase the female labor force participation rate (https://www.brookings.edu/blog/future-development/2021/04/21...). I couldn't quickly find a good source on property ownership, which is obviously still problematic, but Wikipedia indicates that at least some individual ownership is permitted now (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%27s_rights_in_Saudi_Arab...).

One of the contradictions of Mohammed Bin Salman (the current Crown Prince of Saudi, known as MBS) is that while he is violent authoritarian that has been cracking down on civil rights/dissent he has been affording women more rights.
> It would have been unambiguous in a world where we all agreed that both months and days start at 0 :)

How so? Would 2021-08-12 mean month 08 or month 12? It doesn't matter if it starts from zero, it still looks ambiguous to me.
Anyone remember hey.com from a couple of years ago? Offered a chance to get a email at a 3-letter domain dot com....yeah and how many people are still using their hey.com email today?

This is also similar to about.me links people were posting from a couple of years ago.
Um, maybe, but then his example is sixteen million times worse than reality! If I argued against some technology by showing how bad it would be if it were sixteen million times worse, that's just not a very good argument, is it?
Of course not. How's FTX doing by the way?
The core count of Tilera CPUs is totally normal today, so not exactly a failed idea. AMD Ryzen thread piper has 64 cores and if you count number of hardware threads you got 128. That is more than Tilera had. AMD is a very successful company. You got also got Ampere Computing with the Altra Max with 128 cores. Anyway these are all cases of CPUs for general purpose computing while the 1000 core RISC-V CPU was really a specialized system for AI acceleration and scientific computing not general purpose computing.
Well the Stripe founders read HN and still don’t care about getting their shit together. And I’m glad I keep seeing these—I have a client that wanted to add Stripe to their checkout and I’ll now be recommending against it.
I don't have a home server, largely because I like preventing the devices on my home network from being able to talk to each other at all.
All the indexed sequential collections in the standard library use it, for starters, and those collections are in turn used by the majority of users.

OTOH a convenience feature as a lock-in is hard to believe.
Step one is to have your lawyer do the talking, this instantly sets the correct tone regarding how serious this is to your business and how serious it will become for theirs if they continue to ignore you.

Second step is to collect all the information you currently have about verified deliveries, returns, etc. Forward these to your lawyer so they can answer any queries from Stripe council.

Then wait until they either fix the mess or indicate that it's time to escalate to actual legal action.

Also for the love of God (or whatever is holy/whatever in your religon) get the fuck off Stripe.
You only said "Bipolar disorder is not a thing." during your mania the past 3 months. You need to trust the person you are in: https://medium.com/@bipolarguy321/going-manic-with-a-fitbit-...
That is when you actually made your contributions on Google Scholar. Your GitHub contributions are almost entirely before September when it seems like you started mania.

What you have been doing recently isn't working, objectively. You're living on your own right now and financial numbers are only going down. These are objectively worse. You've accomplished a lot before this and still can, but you need to see the psychiatrist first and trust your past self. I promise you this is how you get to see your daughters.

The aviation industry uses feet for measuring altitude. Doesn't matter if you're a metric or imperial fanboi, the standard is feet for measuring altitude.

Only a handful of countries use meters for measuring altitude, and as far as I'm aware they are feeling the pressure to reform to using feet for sake of consistency (read: safety).

Besides, denoting both meters and feet like I did will guarantee everyone will understand one way or another.
I'm also not fond of using HN for this sort of thing, but for a non-bootstrapped business, 250k isn't peanuts.

As much as this is a request for acutal support from Stripe, I also do hope that readers who are in a business of taking online payments will become fully aware of the risk of using Stripe, since I weren't (and now I'm in a situation of possibly losing 250k).
It doesn’t matter that it is anecdotal in plenty of these HN support cases, the fact that this is possible at all is commonly what is atrocious (in other words, this should happen zero times). IE You can’t deflect a nuclear plant meltdown by saying we need to know how long it was running fine beforehand.
It's hard to notice anything these days without getting in trouble.
Tell HN: OSS spirit - you should only give if you feel compelled to make a gift
I was reading the following post:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33904251
(About how and why the ending poem of Minecraft was freed)

And it is not possible to comment anymore.

And I saw the following paragraph inside that I think is philosophically incredible:

<<
But you should only give if you feel compelled to make a gift. Not out of guilt, but because it would make you happier to do so than not (because my work has moved you, or because you think it is important); and only if you have the spare resources to do so. I will never think less of anyone for reading my work without paying. (Unless they are billionaires, in which case I might think a teeny-tiny bit less of them). A lot of us are broke, or need the money for something more urgent, and I totally get it. Your thoughtful attention is the gift I will always value most.

I think that it is really interesting to describe the inner spirit of Open Source / Free (Software) and why being a contributor.

I say this in opposition to the current trend of "this is free, but please donate or otherwise you are assholes and I will withdraw from open source" or "I made this software OSS but big companies are not paying, and so OSS doesn't work as I was expecting to make money, so here is now my custom license that I will say is OSS despite it not being so"
The Esperanto system with lots of RISC-V cores is built with localized memory for small clusters of cores. It is programmed akin to a graphics card and plenty of workloads are done on graphics cards. That means it screams on machine learning, crypto, scientific computing and many other number crunching tasks. Sure it will not make your MS Word run 1 million times faster but who needs that?
Comparing tools to connect your devices in a mesh VPN
Wow, that’s insane.
I would argue that backing up selectively instead of just grabbing everything makes the job harder, not easier. You might need less storage, but who will decide (and how) what gets stored and what doesn't?
You can use hand signals, but obviously that's far from ideal.
Thanks for European-alternatives. Didn’t know that site.
I must be stupid... but how a refunding of 150k makes a loss of 250k? I would assume the shipped goods are less than 150k (gain margin). That plus shipping is the loss. Shipping, assuming 150, you sold about 1000 items, which at 5EUR typical shipping ist 5k. Worst case, even with interest and all that you want... who do you come to 250k?

I do not want to defend Stripe (I hate all that kind of companies), but there are so many unclear details here.
- What were those unauthorised charges?
- What are exactly the goods you sell?
- What is the time spread across those transactions were done? Is that one business day? a month? quarter?

I really cannot conclude stripe is shitty based on this post.

If everything is so clear and arbitrary like it seems in the post, is a no brainer to get 500k back in a court of law. So, relax.
Whose the competition being pushed here though?

All the other low barrier to entry, no underwriting payment processors are either crypto scams or known to have poor support and randomly hold your funds (PayPal, Amazon Payments, etc).
What exactly do you mean by "damned" here?
Simple explanation, I'm afraid: I was dumb.

There are no exceptions (...at least, none that I'm currently aware of). Dang's "missing comment" actually is on his page, just not where I was looking.

The comment was new, but it was a descendant of one of dang's older comments, so it appears further back in his profile than where I looked.
Thank you, I should have probably clarified that I meant the canceling, not the terms ;)
> Traditional toll bypass fraud is when countries are expensive to call internationally but have cheap local calls, so people in those countries buy a bunch of sim cards, put them in a box with a bunch of gsm modems, and use those to basically "convert" an expensive international call to a cheap local call (and profit the difference between the two rates).

Is this really fraud? Is it fraud to offer any VOIP service, or only when it can connect to the phone network, like Skype?

I guess I could see how it might be against the T&C's of the telecom company, to offer a service that undercuts them, but hardly a criminal act of deception.
They said the same thing about Tim Pool who ended up being a tool, and many other personalities and news organizations that became a propaganda-arm for the conservative party.
Read the other recent HN threads about Stripe customer mistreatment disasters, using the HN search box ("Stripe", sort by date). Each one has a similar question about alternatives, and in some of them people have posted recommendations for other providers they've had good experiences with. I don't recall which ones but there were more than I expected. A couple of people recommended Mollie this time around. I've never heard of Mollie before.

Next time I need a payment provider, I'll probably do that, collate the provider names, check out the recommendations, and of course like you avoid the ones I've had bad experiences with before, which are too many :/
I'm just starting up, found some deals:

- Got a bench for $50 bucks

- Adjustable pair of dumbbells for around $250-$350 (its 2 bucks per pound, shop around).

- Cheapest foldable row machine I've seen on Amazon is between $100-200

- One of those magic pull up shits

^ All this stuff fits in a small corner of an apartment, even if you rent just a room. I think everything can be had for ~$500.

Shoulder press, bench press and pull ups is more than enough for upper body.

That covers bench, shoulder press, pull ups, curls, rowing, along with daily walking. Walking is the minimal viable exercise to replace leg day (if you do it daily). I'm not getting a bunch of leg exercise machines, that just sounds stupid. But if you must, you can go once a week to the gym to knock out leg day.

Three times a week on the weights, walking is daily, rowing can be dailyish. Nice thing about having all that crap in your room is that you have no excuse other than being a lazy scumbag.
