It also has a moral to self perpetuation as longtermists will have to be around for the next trillion years. It's not a once and done thing. Converting longtermists to something else is like ending the future of humanity.

How is hyundai responsible for that? South corea is full of hyundais and there's no such problem there. Maybe the root cause of stealing is different?
I've used the free42 (and newer plus42) app on my phone for nearly a decade now. In the UK, RPN calculators were pretty much not seen in the school place. We had Casios, Sharps, and those really into maths tended to get TI graphing calculators.

The beauty of RPN is that you can get the data into the calculator before you figure out how you're going to calculate the thing you want to know. The roll and x<>y help you to manipulate the data, and once you get the hang of it, algebraic notation feels slow and unintuitive (back pedalling through notation to get brackets in place for example).

You also get intermediate results to sense-check as you're going along.

I recently got a DM42 from swissmicros, which is a real life calculator running free42. It is beautifully made, and it makes me happy that I have it. But my job isn't in one place, so I still probably use the phone app more.

It could default to on, but be optional. (Thus providing a “herd immunity” of sorts while still allowing you to do it your way).
Yeah, they definitely won't miss this launch date like the last 3. It will definitely launch in the year of desktop linux.
Still there must be a difference between destroying evidence for stealing a chewing gum vs a murder?

> And it's so heavy because otherwise it would make perfect sense to destroy evidence.

Thus no, this is no good argument for high punishment for any evidence destroyed?

Proportionality is a principle in many law systems.. not in the US? Wouldn't surprise me too much, but personally I find 20 years also much out of proportion, so not sure why parent poster gets downvoted so much.

(On the other hand, rereading, faces up to 20 years, and judges will likely put this still in proportion, right? So just sensationalist headline once again..)
Is there an easy way to go back to Win 95 style please? That's the UI I'm looking for.
> Here's a guy in Harris county that's committed multiple capital murders and bonded out each time:

Your implied timeline is wrong here. The two (alleged) murders happened in May and June 2021. He was arrested for the first in October 2021 and posted bond in November 2021. Then he was arrested for the second - which happened before the first bond, remember - in December 2021 and posted the bond for that in March 2022. At no time (that we know of) did he commit murder whilst out on bond.
It's Hyundai's fault that it's trivially easy to steal their cars. Also, you may prevent subsequent thefts by putting a particular thief in jail, but not the first one they commit. Hyundai make the jail route less valuable because the learning curve to steal Hyundai cars is so shallow that there can be a constant stream of new thieves committing their first theft.

I traded private for public service over a decade ago and I will never go back regardless of much more pay there is. My product is now the service to my community and pay is straight up compensation for my time and effort. No demands of loyalty, no dangling stock options, no C levels idiots with bright ideas ... just bureaucracy and a semi clear mandate. Its still work and id cut way back if I became wealthy but profits are the farthest thing from our organizations goals.
Here’s the link that I posted above with data showing the before and after. It’s quite stark just how big of a spike there has been in theft. https://usafacts.org/data-projects/car-thefts
> You prevent theft by putting theives in jail. It's not complicated.

Damn you right, it's so simple, why didn't they thought of just putting the thieves in jail?!

Also, seems like this whole "people stealing cars" thing doesn't just happen in Baltimore. What if putting the thieves in jail could work in other cities too? Maybe even internationally?

You could be on to something really big here, I hope people from Baltimore government comes across your comment.
gzip has the advantage of being ubiquitous. It's pretty much guaranteed to be available on every modern Unix-alike. And is good enough for most purposes.

It seems like Nintendo picked up on what makes video games so fun early on while a lot of studios struggle with it even today: The gameplay comes first and it has to be fun. Art/style comes next, then way down the list is graphics. Graphics are the only thing about a video game that get worse with time. If you focus on making fun games that have a distinct style, they will remain fun forever. Importantly to a corporation, they also remain sellable forever.

Nobody talks about crysis 1 anymore, but people definitely talk about wind waker.
Your link 0 is cool, but is fairly different from the new stuff here. Some key differences are that the paper uses a conservative garbage collector (so enjoy random memory leaks) as a way to get around the problems of interop with C. Also, while that paper supports multithreading, as far as I can tell, it meant n-thread to 1 core (i.e. concurrent) multithreading (which is what the term usually referred to before multicore cpus were common), while Julia supports n threads to m cores (see Java's long awaited project Loom) which has a bunch of additional challenges. The last thing to mention is that the paper required a near complete rewrite of the lisp compiler. While that's an option for a simple language like Lisp, it's not as feasible for more complicated languages.

Or maybe we can see through the national news' political agenda and sensationalism.

At that kind of income CoL also doesn't mean that much unless your lifestyle matches your income (I.e. lifestyle inflation). The energy crisis should not significantly affect people with top 1% income.

Not going into details of aircraft certification, I am only loosly involved there, but the FAA and the EASA actually allow certifies manufacturers to do a lot of the certification work on aithorities behalf. Calling that collusion is plain ignorant.
„European“ policy has caveats too. What you call „european“ policy is mostly West europe. That had pretty good cultural hold on crimes. for a while. This method does work for it.

But when here in eastern europe got same policies forced down our throats... Here culture is slightly different and many criminals are career criminals and take pride their... line of work. So we get routine re-offenses. Or people commit new crimes while waiting for trial. West seems to have issues with certain parts of their societies that ain't culturally trained to behave too.

This doesn't work well if society accepts crime as a respectable line of work. E.g. glorifying criminal „subculture“ and normalising that.
Facebook Automatically Sending Friend Request
Don't fall into the trap of already thinking of the accused is guilty. Also, framing this as an a or b choice is a false dichotomy. There are other outcomes, and they largely depend on the factors involved - prosecutors have the option to prove the accused is a danger to society, and if they can, they won't go back.
In that case I would consider buying a copy on switch, even if you don't own a switch. if you buy the copy and then decide to play it on your PC instead of Switch then you don't really have any reason to feel guilty. This is similar to buying a BluRay and then ripping it to watch it on your personal Plex or Jellyfin server because you prefer that method instead of using a BluRay player.

I understand and share your ethical dilemma. The goal is to support the creators of the work. If you do that, then there is no reason to feel guilty because you enjoy their work in a different way.
> It could also have been the case that Microsoft did not have an operating system or BASIC ported to the Motorola 68000 architecture.

The late 70s / early 80s incarnation of Microsoft was happy to port their software to just about anything, so long as there was a customer willing to pay for it. If IBM had asked Microsoft for a 68K OS instead of an x86 one, Bill Gates would have found a way to provide. He bought PC/MS-DOS from another company, he probably could have found someone selling a 68K OS instead. Or Tim Paterson surely could have ported it to 68K if asked.

I think choosing the 8088 over 68K was all about hardware costs, not software-both the cost of the CPU, and the cost of compatible peripheral chips.
I am not sure about your personal situation, but my parents paid off their property faster because it was cheaper, despite higher interest rates. After 15 Years all theie property is fully paid. They are much better off now.

And low interest rates didn't last, now they are back up in Europe, so people with large mortgages are not having to make huge repayments and will be making them for the next 30 years.

generally speaking we have more capital tied up in housing than we do in productive economy. This is inefficient deployment of capital and is not economically healthy.

The HP Touchpad had an awesome wireless charging stand all the way back in 2011.[0] What I especially liked about it is that WebOS (before I blew it away and loaded Android onto the tablet) could switch to a slideshow mode when it was left on the stand, and so your Touchpad could serve as a digital picture frame while not in use.

> If you ship ZFS with Linux then those clauses I mentioned may apply. Whether that will hold up in court? I don't know.

I'm sorry, but this is FUD by another name. This is a "Maybe there is something wrong with the CDDL too?" take, not a "This. See, this here is the problem with the CDDL" take.

FOSS people are supposed to be against this stuff.

> That is the issue; if ZFS was MIT or GPL then there obviously wouldn't an issue and any lawsuit would be completely baseless and any judge would throw it out in an instance. But with CDDL this is a lot less clear

Let me get this straight -- the law is complex, but it would be less complex if we had a different license, also we don't like this license and Oracle, so we won't even try with this license, even though it may not be an issue.

All of this is a giant turn off for me. I don't find it hard to believe that Canonical made the determination it did, because they're not beholden to a view that we should be scared of Oracle for indeterminate reasons, all the time.

And since you brought it up -- when Oracle sued Google, the basis of the suit was a claim that Google had violated the GPL because of, yes, another ridiculously broad interpretation of copyright law centered around the GPL. These over-broad interpretations, and attendant scared straight FUD campaigns, are not a service to the Linux/FOSS community, and Linux and the FSF and their minions should stop now. We should pick a side and the side should be in the majority of Oracle v. Google, and a long line of cases that say roughly similar things, not FSF, et. al., craziness.
Ask HN: Could we decorate links to toots somehow?
I almost never click a HN link to a tweet. Lately some alternative services have picked up in usage. Content posted to those services has made it onto HN, which is great.

... But because of the damned fediverse, I can't recognize these links as micropublishing.

There's a culture here of explicitly labelling PDF links - could we similarly append [toot] (or whatever) when linking to microcontent / chat platforms?
I was convinced that he was going to sell this "Stack" for an exorbitant amount like some other Javascript influencers have done in the past. Thankfully this seems to be free at least.
Haha. Thanks for sharing this reference! I had no idea about a similar comment [1] in our previous Show HN post :) For others like me, this is ChatGPT's explanation:

C&C Tiberian Sun, short for Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun, is a real-time strategy (RTS) video game developed by Westwood Studios and released by Electronic Arts in 1999. It is the sequel to the highly popular game Command & Conquer (1995) and is part of the Command & Conquer series."

In the real-time strategy game Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun, the phrase "Welcome back, Commander" is a memorable reference that occurs at the start of each mission when the player resumes playing the game after a break or reloading a saved game.

The phrase is spoken by the EVA (Electronic Video Agent) computerized voice, which serves as the player's AI assistant throughout the game. The EVA voice welcomes the player with the line "Welcome back, Commander" to indicate that the player has returned to the game and is ready to continue commanding their forces.

I agree. It's a formative stage where everything is novel - even a new game that does everything right can't capture that in adulthood. You also have way more patience as a kid with nothing but time. I didn't mind trudging through jrpgs then, but I hate it now.

I don't replay old games like this (the ones that have you solve and explore). It's effectively a security blanket, with no thrill - the opposite of the first experience. I find it bittersweet and it dulls feelings I associate with those games.

You can never go back, is the thing.
The point of the lawsuit seems to be to create case law that would influence standards and/or a requirements for automotive security features.
This is apparently incorrect. I'm avoiding detailed tech reviews right now so as to not spoil myself, but reports are that the original BOTW held itself back in order to accommodate the Wii U. Draw distances appear to be higher, objects are more detailed and there are more of them, there are more LODs, and the framerate is now reliably 30 FPS in all but the most demanding scenes (which sounds like faint praise, but if you've ever played the original, is a definite improvement).

It helps that the original game was utterly gorgeous, thanks to inspired art direction.
Most good things in life are like this.

"ideas aren't worth money, only results are"

Ideas are worth money. For example, corporations buy patents for things that don't yet exist (or may never exist) simply to shore up their IP portfolios. What I'm attempting here is a different business model, one which does not have to become accepted practice for every startup.
This is my anecdotal experience - there has been a lot of fluff around several products, possibly because of low interest rates. There are few focused builders but the rest seem to preach the concept of “building” but really it all seems to be for show

I feel like you're being sassy with me, and I don't much care for it.

That Rust is fundamentally more secure (in certain, specific ways) than other languages is a fact, not an opinion. It is a fact well-known by members of the programming languages research community, users of the language, and other sufficiently interested people. I didn't think to qualify it by citing the relevant papers partly because the fact is well-known, partly because the fact is easily researched, and partly because this is an informal conversation where you don't always need to bring primary evidence simply to talk to people.

Just because you were not aware of this fact didn't grant you license to be so dismissive at the start. Your first interaction with me was a stern, corrective "No it isn't". You were wrong, but worse than that, you were authoritative in your wrongness. If you had just asked me to explain what I meant instead of trying to correct me, this conversation could've gone differently.

Now, maybe I've misread your tone, in which case I genuinely apologize. But the certainty with which you made your incorrect statements at the beginning, followed by your kind-of condescending interactions with me in the comments since then, makes me think I am right in my interpretation, and I think that's really unfortunate.
I'll be filing that away for future use, thanks!

I think my point still stands, though. Users shouldn't have to work around secure boot. Secure boot is making Linux adoption more difficult for casual users for no good reason.

If anyone has a use case for secure boot outside of an enterprise setting I'd love to hear it.

You already took that 20% pay cut. Our pay hasn't gone up with our productivity in decades. According to Keynes, we should have been working 15 hours per week by now. We're not, because we're not reaping the rewards of our work. It's all gone to the rich. That is the big thing we need to reverse.

I'm working 4 days a week, and that's working very well for me. So is my wife. So is my brother, and are several of my friends and coworkers. I strongly recommend it. We should be demanding better, and not discourage each other by saying it's absurd to want a better life.
Right. It is not like the world needs more startups with software full of holes.
Very basic words in english (eg water, man, milk, drink) tend to have Germanic (Anglo-Saxon) roots whereas newer more abstract words tend to have come in after the 1066 Norman Conquest, with French words eclipsing their Anglo-Saxon equivalents, as the Norman aristocracy supplanted the Anglo-Saxon rulers.

Yes it is better to say "he can be sentence to no more than 20 years if found guilty". The 20 years is just a limitation on the court's discretion: hindering a federal investigation is never so bad that a person should be sentenced to life in prison or death or a 32 year term. But it might bad enough that 16 weeks or 30 months or 19 years is appropriate depending on specific facts.

And when the court does sentence a person for a certain offense, it should compare the specific facts of the case to the worst possible case, the one that would warrant 20 years, and if this is somewhat less than the worst possible case, then to sentence them to an appropriately shorter term.
Do their first party games also get those discounts? Another thing is that I can play games that I bought 15 years ago on my Steam Deck. Nothing like that is possible on the Switch. Even if you owned, say, Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U - you have to rebuy it again on the Switch.
