Unless you did it already and I missed it, my vote would be for the external bus sequencing. The 8086's multiplexed A/D bus and its 4-clock (!) cycle have always seemed needlessly complicated to me, especially when compared to the 68k's async bus or the 6502's "?!$!@ it, just expose the internal latches" designs. Clearly Intel was thinking it was getting value here somehow (well, something more than pure pin count optimization), but it really just seems like they were adding behavior they didn't need.
Some of us did expect that. The initial techno optimism about global connectivity that I think really picked up during the 90s (all of this was before my time, correct me if I'm wrong about timing) always seemed doomed to this particular end given the lack of segmentation. You can't have a village with 8 billion people.

I distinctly remember a period when the iPhone came out and the high score leaderboards for certain apps went from like a couple thousand to tens of thousands to like a million. I realized this kind of connectivity is going to select for a tiny percentage of hyper competitive winners. Those people are mixed in with billions of people not used to operating in that kind of a space. More and more people are being forced into a competition they don't really want to be a part of. The rooms are way too big and way too flat to allow for proper self selection and sorting into like minded peer groups at similar levels. They make 99% of people miserable, including many of those at the top who need to work ungodly hard to maintain positions that used to be more secure due to less global exposure.

What you can do is create a village of about 200 people and their networks with a much more interesting and larger set of like minded people than what your geography limits you to, and self select and bypass gatekeepers to create new and emergent communities beyond anything people might have dreamed or expected. But that requires a kind of community maintenance and segmentation that we haven't figured out how to do yet.
Active Status: Let people see when you’re active, so they know when it’s a good time to call. You can also choose to turn this feature off, if you want to improve your privacy.

Why is calling still a thing? It interrupts whatever the person was doing. And just KNOWING that any one of your 5000 contacts can call you at any time can be very distracting and make you anxious subciously.

What is wrong with async scheduling meetings? And threaded conversations?

I can understand read receipts but online status is silly. It only enables stalking. Why not have people bid for your timeslots and fill up classes and office hours etc.? Everyone would have a happier life.

Ask HN: Would you trust car insurance trackers?
So my Geico (save your 15 minutes) rate went up significantly for no reason. If I use their tracking app "Drive Easy" they are offering 20% discount (pretty significant). I thought why not?

It ALWAYS wants to see my location
It wants access to my health and fitness data

I obviously can't justify the discount by giving up my privacy. My wife says I am paranoid and she doesn't see anything wrong. I am assuming most people won't.

Soon Geico (DON'T WASTE YOUR 15 MINUTES) will have everything they need. They promise they won't use the data to raise rates, only to give discounts but in few years or even sooner, they will cancel high risks and then make them pay higher rates to join. Who the hell is going to read 100 pages of terms.

All these insurance companies have apps like these.
I've found that the lengthier your prompt, the more likely ChatGPT is to forget specific instructions like this. I've had "200 word minimum" or "500 character maximum" in different prompts with the former working just fine, and the latter got ignored every time.

I think this varies highly from person to person. As someone who takes one to two days off a week, when possible, I must say I get some pretty brutal withdrawal side-effects.

None of the side-effects are really dangerous or life-threatening by any means, but they are still somewhat disabling. I've been taking my medication for about 8 years now, and I am starting to feel like the medication:

1. Has drastically diminished it positive returns

2. Is starting to take more away from me than it's giving back

Not sure, what other option I'll move to, but I do not have many of them left since I have tried almost all the various stimulant formulations multiple times minus Desoxyn.
That's hard to believe, they make a shit ton of money

Once again, you're being presumptive. I have a rather severe case of ADHD co-morbid with PTSD, and nothing that I've stated as a solution is easy. If anything, it requires more discipline than simply cutting out temptations. You will need to learn to recognize when "it's time" and step away to re-calibrate. This requires knowing oneself and being transparent about your problems with others.

The routes described prior are extremely puritanical, and if you don't see that, I am sorry that you are stuck wielding such repressive methods. They will be more of a detriment in the long run, as you realize that they do nothing to address your thought patterns. I am speaking from experience, as that doesn't seem to have been made clear.
My thoughts exactly. With their closed source app running on the client, they can do literally anything with the plaintext before encrypting it.

Be ready for an expansion of their fear-mongering ad campaigns about how anyone in your office or home can read your messages when you send them unencrypted.

I think we fundamentally disagree here. There might be some 20:20 hindsight way to completely avoid the opioid crisis (especially with the behavior of Purdue Pharma), but from my perspective if Fentanyl (or other potent synthetic opioid) reaches illicit manufacturing it almost always becomes a dominate force in the black market. The cost, strength, and ease of smuggling are big perks. Regulators have little impact on what black market drug labs produce.
Oh wow! I found out about the project recently and had no idea sharing it could grab the attention of an NWC dev! I've played the series to death so I'm sure I've killed you a couple of times in the secret NWC office levels.

If it doesn't impose any ethical / legal questions (a la an ex-Windows dev working on ReactOS) I'm sure your expertise could be extremely valuable.

>the politicians are constantly trying to weaken or eliminate that, plus trying to mess with your pension which is practically the only attractive thing about those jobs... so, no fucking wonder, really.

>Recent wage inflation has made all this stuff worse by making unresponsive government pay scales far less attractive than market-driven wages elsewhere, so systems and offices that were teetering before are now falling over.

These two are related. The pensions work for government workers because politicians get to advertise low taxes, voters get to enjoy lower taxes and punt the costs to future generations, and union bosses who are older, get to cash out before shit hits the fan (almost all governments have tiers of pensions, where older workers have more benefits than younger will ever have).

The solution is to get rid of ALL deferred compensation. Government pays employees the same as private does. No more muddying the waters with understated liability numbers and underfunding for deferred compensation. Then government can match wages in real time.
What are you even talking about? The issues Japan faces is because as people attempt to retire there is literally no one to replacement. The retirement age is set to 70 years old and has been steadily going up. Elderly people even routinely work well beyond that because they don't have the financial ability to support themselves and their children cannot afford to support them either.

Fewer kids means a larger tax burden on everyone. If you honestly think schooling is anywhere near the expense that is elderly care then you would be crazy. Especially since part of that cost is being pushed onto the children directly to take care of their parents.

I assumed that the appeal of pixel-arty games was the reduced engine and art requirements more-so than any aesthetic. I do not know anything about game programming, but I could deduce how to layer a bunch of 2d assets on top of each other to produce visuals. I could even sketch out some quasi-decent art in paint.

I would have to hit the books on how to work with a 3d world. Incorporating passable 3d art assets is well beyond my artistic ability.

> Clock with hands show no signs of disappearing.

I can't remember the last time I saw someone with a mechanical watch other than as a fashion statement.

25 years ago, my household had mechanical alarm clocks, a mechanical clock on the oven, and multiple mechanical clocks on the walls of different rooms. Today, I think I might have a broken mechanical watch in my "you should probably fix these things" piles.

I've loved runes ever since I saw them on JRR Tolkiens book as a little kid. Very very cool to see something this old.

“Not all inscriptions have a linguistic meaning,” says Zilmer. “It’s possible that someone has imitated, explored or played with the writing. Maybe someone was learning how to carve runes.”

Yeah as I understand a lot of run carvings were more symbolic, loads of stuff where people just repeat a rune over and over because it represents a god, or how many times ᚨᛚᚢ has been found.

I think one point worth appreciating (apart from the political reasons to drive manufacturing jobs) is that manufacturing provides jobs where people who are uneducated/low-skilled but intelligent can make significant contributions.

Putting a fan next to a conveyor to filter out empty boxes doesn't require a college degree (if anything a college degree makes it more difficult to find that solution), but it is nonetheless a significant process improvement.

I've had alarm issues as well recently, and I think in my case it may have something to do with either (1) "Attention Aware Features" that will silence alarms if it thinks you're using / looking at the phone, or (2) wearing my watch and having it think that I was silencing alarms by covering or touching the screen.

I turned off the attention aware features and also flipped off "Push Alerts from iPhone" for the Clock app on my watch. My distrust at this point is so bad that I just don't wear the watch to sleep even though I love the sleep tracking features.

It's ridiculous that a bug with alarms is even a thing, and also something that's hard to troubleshoot when I'm half-awake.
The best heuristic is if there is money to be made then assume some bad agent will find a way to exploit it, always.

Chess.com strikes me as a domain squatter who decided to try to make something of their site instead of selling it off once it was popular. Kudos to them, but at the end of the day they’re still domain squatters.
Slightly different perspective: learn marketing (i.e. persuasion):

- Interviews/resumes are just a form of marketing.

- It's better to understand your target market: the needs/desires/fears of business (owners) than any single certification/technology.

- Businesses/companies don't want devs; they want solutions to problems. Devs/code are just a tool to solve business problems.

It's not that unknown. The specific herbs and flavorings probably varied over time and place and those details are lost. But it was certainly a whole-fish amino sauce using the digestive enzymes of the fish themselves, and salt to prevent spoilage. Asian fish sauces are likely a decent substitute.

Plus garums are making a comeback and are already quietly being produced and used in some high end kitchens, based on work published by noma, using koji proteases to speed up the process. You can't quite buy them at the grocery store, and historical authenticity to roman recipes isn't the goal of anyone I know. But there is garum out there if you really really want it.

If it's something like what we had at my country, it's not a travel plan.

It's a book, fully indexed, with searchable and fully reviewed information about the place you are going and the path in between. You use it to make your own plan, or to improvise.

Specifically about improvisation, it has become almost impossible nowadays because there is no reliable information about anything.

While these points are valid, it's also a highly individualistic perspective. Social bodies have complexities and dynamics of their own. The obsessive pursuit of financial and political resources could also be seen as a kind of addiction, optimizing for one thing to an unhealthy degree while refusing to contemplate the negative consequences. There are certainly big payoffs to be had this way, but foreclosure of other possibilities can eventually lead to a dead end. A more harmonious, proportionate approach may not be as dramatic or impressive, but endure better.
Uhhh, GTA V has been known for bad security for a long time. Streamers can't even play the game without a VPN or they get their IP leaked. Single-player games can (could, maybe still can? I am unsure of the current state of the game) get hacked and be messed with by hackers. This goes far beyond just "they used C++." This shows a great lack of caring for security in general from Rockstar, not just another thing that you can use to prove to yourself that "C++ is dangerous!"
People have never had the chance to try them due to the FDA, so of course there's no demand.

But the biggest reason for the rise of drug-resistant gonorrhea is that people don't like using condoms. It's very common for people to complain they can't maintain an erection while using a condom.Many of those people if they had tried female condoms would have not had any issues and much more safe sex would occur, decreasing gonorrhea infections.

"I’m not experienced with female condoms but I can’t imagine they would be more cost effective, comfortable, or feel better than a traditional male condom."

Well, for men with performance anxiety or ED, they can be much more comfortable and feel a lot better.
I feel bad for the Primitive Technology guy. He started this genre, and there's only so much you can do honestly. People's appetite for ever-iterating content is still there to be exploited, and others have taken his concept and run with it.

With the utmost respect, the above post is ironic because it's exactly the sort of shallow, snappy internet post (I make them too) that's the opposite of what good "public square" social media discourse should look like, and it ends up as the top post. It's the incentive structure that's inherent in social media that means it's doomed to fail as a method of intelligent discussion from day 1. Maybe this is what "the medium is the message" means, I never really understood it.

> Once the bug is fixed by the third party then automatically it will be fixed for Google.

The article explains why this isn't a safe assumption and documents numerous cases where patches were not deployed to Android devices until well after the vulnerability was publicly disclosed. https://github.blog/2023-01-23-pwning-the-all-google-phone-w...

Thus is seems obvious to me that closing the bug as "won't fix" is the wrong response. The issue shouldn't be closed until the security patch makes its way into the Android Security Bulletin.
