OS nostalgia is stupid but application nostalgia makes sense. If you happen to have applications for IRIX that would be expensive or impossible to replace, then keeping IRIX on life support is reasonable. For example I happen to have a licensed copy of PTC Pro/ENGINEER for IRIX/MIPS. There's no other way to use it. This is the same reason I keep Win2k virtual machines hanging around. That is the only way I can still run my copy of AutoCAD R12.

>ai generated contracts are the future.

Man, why do you guys get paid so much? Contracts need semantic correctness, ie the verification of the logical consequences of natural language. This is an AGI determining problem. At the point this exists, humans are basically obsolete as workers, and you don't have to worry about your law firm keeping up anymore.

An anecdote about contractors, since that's Osterhout's example:

In my book, The Big Bucks I used some of my actual history with Jerry, my contractor, as the basis for Walt. I say "some" since Jerry was already married, and he never did an Eichler in Palo Alto. Plus we started in 1992, whereas in the book it was 1983. Jerry did about ten jobs on my house after that. I'm not giving a plot spoiler on what happens with Walt /s

I just found his traits endearing. He was just like an engineer in so many ways, and he'd even vacuum up rooms he hadn't been in. But basically it was consideration and respect for each other. A lot of homeowners treat contractors like lower-class servants.

I gave him a copy of the book and he loved it: he finished it in two days, and then gave it to a contractor friend, who also loved it.
> So taekwondo people who train to hit concrete pillars don’t get stronger from the repeated hits, do you confirm?

Stress from repetitive microtrauma is not the same as a fracture (stress to failure). Increased mechanical loading (hitting a concrete pillar, exercise) can absolutely strengthen bone in a similar mechanism to decreased load weakening bones (little old lady, astronauts).

Breaking a bone completely disrupts the internal architecture and what is deposited is unequivocally weaker than what was there before.

> And “what doesn’t kill, makes you stronger” is false too

I have no professional opinion on this aphorism. I do have one on bone healing.
Neat idea. We are surrounded by so much energy it's hard to fathom. If only we could extract it.

One thing I like about phind.com is that it ties the specific assertions to the specific web page it made it from. That allows me to check into the sources.

However, like all generative AI, it’s good at forming narratives, and not many people are aware how powerfully influential narrative frames are because people rarely step back to examine the frame itself.

I am a history enthusiast. I have a reason to believe this belief by populations in untruths is short term (I'd define it as <50 years, YMMV).

Long term chronicling goes beyond short term propoganda. Society eventually (IMO) accepts the truth. And the highly trained, poorly dressed, unsung heroes are to be credited for it. Unfortunately, society at large pays importance to the short term "stuff". Regardless, I feel these guys stand for correctness and should be recognised (preferably much before they die).
This is an excellent unit of CO2 to communicate with. I’ve read Vacslav Simil’s books and I still have to look up numbers when hearing about a million tons of CO2.
LMTTM is an excellent book on the subject of (poor state of) history being taught in K-12 schools in the US. I bought it for my son when he was in elementary school, and the "history" he was being taught was mostly just uncritical hero worship of famous people combined with made up bullshit to improve narrative flow.

"After surveying eighteen leading high school American history texts, he [Loewen] has concluded that not one does a decent job of making history interesting or memorable. Marred by an embarrassing combination of blind patriotism, mindless optimism, sheer misinformation, and outright lies, these books omit almost all the ambiguity, passion, conflict, and drama from our past."

You can easily move from Texas to California (greyhound flows are still vastly biased that way). You can’t easily move from Greece to Finland. It isn’t comparable at all, in fact, the fallacious premises you hold are why we can’t make any progress on this problem despite dumping billions of dollars of resources into it (LA alone has a $1.3b/year budget for the problem).
The point of doing it in software on the host kernel would be to allow the flash layer and the filesystem to co-evolve, instead of being agnostic at best and antagonistic at worst.
Every country has its own schools and what gets taught there is drastically different, evolves with time.

This does indeed seem to work, to my surprise since I can't positively remember a word of what were taught at school. Went in one ear and out of another.

Sure except POST has its own set of issues - like not being cachable. But SEARCH or QUERY can be cached safely!
Piracy is an entirely different issue than compelling publishers to adopt arbitrary rules around republishing their content on new platforms.
I understand the sarcasm, but gun-to-your-head what do you think that one place would most likely be?
I understand the benefits of QUERY over GET because GET is expected to return a resource in the response. Why not just use POST though? Send a post message to a server asking to conduct a search and sending the results of that query in the response?

Guess that needs to be different than the ? query params. I wonder if you could use ?key=value as your signal for GET, and ?value as your signal for SEARCH. I think it's up to the service to parse the string that comes after ? in a URI so maybe that's a way to go.
They said “common sense” not commonly available. IMO it’s similar to the dot-com boom era of patents that do “normal thing, but on the /web/“.
Heat waste is absolutely miniscule compared to the amount of energy the Earth receives from the Sun. As in, the Earth is continuously bombarded by 173 petawatts of solar radiation. So you can see why it would be worth trading some waste heat to reduce the retention of solar energy in the atmosphere.
At the moment that the PC killed off Unix workstations, the PCs were already radically better. We were all just waiting for application vendors to port to Windows NT. When my SGI was replaced by a dual Pentium Pro it was a little shocking how much faster it was.

I use it for documentation and simplifying my build flow.

I code in more than a few languages and frameworks, but I don't always memorize the magic build commands for each one.

Otherwise, I'd dump this documentation in an unstructured ReadMe.md.

I'm always amazed at how little attention and resources are given to these types of strategies. Solar radiation management and geoengineering. Clearly we have a problem of too much CO2, and are having massive trouble even reducing the rate of increase.

My objection was not related to 0AD versioning their releases as "alpha". That's absolutely fine by me! My objection was related to you describing 0AD with words "It is 100% playable and has been for years". Clearly it has not been 100% playable for years!
No, it should be a client error. The error is intended to be returned when a client has asked a teapot to perform a coffeepot-only operation - which is obviously a mistake on the client side.

We wrote up an analysis of this sort of thing from an energy perspective -- bottom line: there's no energy-efficient way for hydroponic setups to produce anything other than leafy green food crops. The energy balance is just all wrong. And it's going to be pretty difficult for vertical farms to compete with the Salinas Valley.

Forget about what acronyms stand for. The thing that hyperlinks point to and you can type in your browser bar is called the URL or the link.

And the point is that being able to specify a verb and headers in a link would be super useful in certain situations.

Continue to call it a URL or URI and just change the "R" in those from Resource to Request, semantics problem solved. Or invent a new URA where "A" stands for "action" and it's a valid hyperlink. The naming of it is the least important part here.

What really is competition? why Sony outselling Microsoft is a problem? Nintendo / Google / Apple are in the same business, you can game on all kind of devices

Perhaps Microsoft offering is too weak, but they have the same amount of 1st party studios than Sony

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_Studios#Studios

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_Game_Studios#Subsidiaries...

With this acquisition, Microsoft will now have +15 more 1st party studios than Sony

https://old.reddit.com/r/xbox/comments/s7571d/list_of_studio...

Sony is putting in the effort, they put some of their first party games on PC, they release new form factors, VR and now handheld, that perhaps explain why they are outselling Microsoft

Microsoft also own Windows, shouldn't this be taken into account? ;)

Why would governments step in when the market is already competitive and fair?

The plan is clear, pave the way for Microsoft cloud gaming dominance

It's not going to happen within the next 10 years, the tech is not there yet, so their guarantees for small cloud players is useless, especially if they end up using Azure Cloud, wich is owned by Microsoft

The EU is thinking short term, yet again, UK properly is seeing the global and long term picture, hence why they are the one who opposes the acquisition

I really don't understand the EU, and who they are really working for..
Can anyone steelman this idea for me? Seems like an incredible waste of time to make this.
Imagine creating the ideal climate (indoor) to farm Kashmiri Saffron[1] that cannot be grown in most climates except for a very few select regions. Kashmiri Saffron goes for about $1,500 a pound.

The other is to add much needed nutrients that deficient people need. Here is an anecdote from our adventure. We were able to artifically add enough Vitamin B12 to Spinach that non-vegetarians can benefit from. Vitamin B12 is not available in vegetarian diet.

The other audacious goal we tried. What if that same Spinash is loaded with enough nutrients for pregnant women that the malnourished women in rural India can get their fair share of nutrients during their terms for a healthy mother and a healthy baby!

These specialized way of farming can only be managed by a well managed indoor farm. For instance, in a country like India with enough sunlight, besides leveraging solar energy, we can also make the plants have enough sunlight while still inside the farms. So, combine a mix of hydro + the likes of Dutch Bucket Method can make way for lot cheaper way of indoor farming.

Edit: Sorry for feeding the wrong nutrient. Vitamin B12 and not K12.
Yes. And apologies are written by the winners’ grandchildren
As the article you link to is about the question of whether they could jump to humans, I'm not sure it is particularly relevant (there have been many cases of introduced species creating trouble, yet none that I am aware of did so by targeting humans, and if one did, it would presumably be a concern in its natural range as well. The concern here is that if the fungus is introduced somewhere new, it may either attack important endemic insect species immediately, or evolve to do so.)

From the sources I looked at, it seems to be a matter of fact that E.muscae infects multiple hosts. Furthermore, does the fact that the genus Entomophthora contains many fungi which collectively infect many species not suggest that they can, and have, jumped species? It seems implausible that, just within this genus, each of its species independently evolved to target one host, and a species that can do this with one host would seem better positioned, compared to any that do not have this capability at all, to evolve into something targeting a different host (the point is that all these different Entomophthora evolved from something, and it is most likely a single common ancestor with the ability.)

That's backwards. Coffee was introduced into England before 1600. The first coffee house opened in Oxford in 1650. The explosion in the consumption of distilled spirits was half a century later, fuelled by the governments encouragement of the distilling industry and banning of French imports of spirrits. Hogarth's gin lane is from 1751.
Selling it after the fact does not really require any preparation: I guess you meant they won't come prepared to hack it, which I agree with.

If biometric-auth guns were pervasive yet hackable, petty criminals will likely have a way to easily sell them off to someone better equipped to hack them. I was mostly countering whether biometric auth would stop them feom being used for crimes after getting stolen.

It’s not a “no you can’t” just because you know of some exceptions.

And even then, they are still correct while you are not. You can copy the GET url even if it ultimately it requires authentication in a way that you can’t do it all for a POST request.

EDIT: I found this:

"Basically, the typestate pattern in Rust today provides a way to ensure that state machines are used correctly, but does not fully defend against them being unused, or discarded before completion." [1]
