>An explosion is a rapid expansion in volume associated with an extreme outward release of energy, usually with the generation of high temperatures and release of high-pressure gases. Supersonic explosions created by high explosives are known as detonations and travel through shock waves. Subsonic explosions are created by low explosives through a slower combustion process known as deflagration.

Doesn't have to be supersonic to be an explosion. This is a disagreement about definitions, not about the properties of nitrocellulose.

I feel like the Wizard of Oz when I tell the scientists: you've had this power from the beginning. No one needs to "escape" from big publishing. The scientist has always had complete control over the work. They own the copyright.

All that big publishing offers is presentation. The reason many professors choose traditional journals is because they like how the final product looks. Certainly not every reader demands high quality typesetting. Nor does every paper require it. It's just that the overall product is pretty desirable. That's why people keep submitting the papers and dealing with the downsides. It's a product that people want.

Now you can complain about the price. It can be steep for people. But that money goes to pay for copyediting, typesetting and formal archives. These are nothing to sneeze at. Ask a professor for a copy of their syllabus from three years ago. I swear that half of the people can't find them.

You get what you pay for. Yes, professors can have their grad students stay up late fiddling with LaTeX for hours. Yes, there's a value in just giving away a copy for free. But there's a reason why people overwhelmingly choose journals for their best work.
I've worked 6 months on corporate Macbook Pro 16" (M1 Max), and changed it to Dell (which is SLOWER) as soon as it become possible :-)

And, not, FAR IS match to these browsers, as here are hundreds if not thousands plugins. S3? We got it. DropBox? We got it. Any file-access protocol, including IMAP (!)? We got it! Also, editor with syntax coloring of hundreds of text formats, embedded command line with history (which works perfectly with addition of POSIX tools, like find, grep, cut, xargs, sort, etc), several ways to rename files by template ("multiple rename" in ForkLift features), etc, etc, etc.

Almost any task by organizing, editing and managing files you can name has plugin for FAR, if it is not embedded feature.

Does ForkLift support full-powered perl-compatible regular expressions for its operations? FAR does, including batch search-n-replace in text files (and archives!).

And it is only 1% of available plugins :-)

Plus all of that is controlled by keyboard, no mouse required at all. And all shortcuts are configurable, and here is embedded macro recording abilities.
Well I don’t think all images would have to be signed, just photos for which you want to prove authenticity. Probably social media and dating apps seem like a good target. Maybe some advertising, sure. I bet McDonalds wouldn’t mind green checkmark since they go through all that effort to fake food in real life.

You could of course fake green checkmark in CSS but this is already an issue with faking other browser UI elements, including address bar–it’s a known problem.

One way to solve this is having a browser picker, that is a button you click in trusted area of browser UI that lets you inspect any image on the page. Similar thing is possible with smartphone UI, you go to app overview/carousel and long press on an image in app, this launches photo inspection portal.
One thing you can do is implement a JIT compiler.

Here's Martin Jacob's code to execute arbitrary memory. If you malloc a byte array and insert opcodes directly at indexes, you can construct machine code and execute it.

https://gist.github.com/martinjacobd/3ee56f3c7b7ce621034ec3e...

Since your C program is already in memory, you have access to the C standard library and don't have to worry about linking or object formats but you'll have to worry about parameter passing and FFI.

My toy JIT compiler based on this idea is here https://github.com/samsquire/compiler but it is incomplete.

>But I think it helps to rely on small-scale tools as much as possible,

The problem is that your presentation is not covering the various downsides of choosing "small-scale" software. There are tradeoffs and if you don't explicitly highlight them, it's a disservice to readers.

E.g. You mention that large-scale software for millions is "expensive". But small-scale software is also expensive in different ways. (Software used by only a few can be more expensive in time/labor/hassles because of lack of features, workarounds required, lack of tutorials, etc)

I've written several utilities in the "small-scale" software category for my friends to use and that experience has enlightened me that most people (who are not hackers & techies) should use "software for millions" as the default choice.

If you're one of those that chooses small-scale software (e.g. your old Lua v5.1 anecdote), I think you're already part of a self-selected group and you don't need blogs suggesting it to you. You also are willing to overlook the downsides.

I like most of Clay Shirky's writings on various topics but his particular essay on "Situated Software" which you cited is incomplete and misleading because it doesn't cover "software rot": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_rot
There are 330 million people in the US, and 1.4 billion in India. You don't need lies for agitprop - such numbers will furnish you with enough real incidents to drive whatever narrative you wish, if you're in a position to pick what gets publicity. Cherrypicking. I'm sure you can think of a few recent examples.

Wrt hardware_destructive_interference_size, what happens if you compile for X86 which is then run on a machine (Rosetta) that has a (2x) bigger cacheline internally?
I did a lot of consulting with the design team in my last role. My company was creating a "builder" app, where you can use a GUI to create and deploy custom clinical research mobile and web apps.

The way I was finally able to get through to the design team was by showing them an image of a Tesla interior and saying "this is what you guys have built", and then I showed them an image of a well-organized woodshop with hundreds of tools on the walls and saying "this is what the people using our software to build custom apps actually need".

Maybe non-technical end users really do like having all features hidden beneath unlabelled flat buttons, I don't know. But it doesn't work for people using software GUIs to do technical work. I'd go back to 90s-00s style clunky menus in an instant if I could. Just the ability to see what's clickable and what isn't is worth the downgrade in appearance.
Excellent, makes sense. And keep C in the CS curricula. I'm for that. I also see how libuv must be underused in C code.

That indeed makes it underrated. Got it.

Generally, a collapse is considered a bad thing. Surely for those underneath or on top of the thing that is collapsing.
I think NASAs switch to Probabilistic Risk Assessment has everything to do with unhappiness with doing a study of the entire moon and expanding requirements that shouldn't cost any more development time.

How much less testing of the actual plan would they have made to stay on schedule and in budget?
Given that this is HN I expect the readership to be higher-income on average, which makes resolving money problems relatively easy as fewer sacrifices are necessary in the first place. It’s a pretty consistent finding that disagreements about either money or child-rearing are the most common cause for divorce.
The article starts with “Here’s how to stop maths-phobia setting in” but does not focus on how to overcome ingrained maths-fobia in adults.

What attitude towards math would have prevented your depression and trauma?

I think that if “anyone can do math” implies “equally well”, or “any kind of math”, this is going to hit a lot of people hard.

From HN "Guidelines" page: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

> Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

As much as you're entirely right that HN's readership decides what succeeds or not, pretty much every example you've furnished is defined clearly as "off topic" submissions. The Wuhan lab leak theory, regardless of how we view it in hindsight, was paraded as a sensational event up and down party lines. It never had a chance on this site, like Donald Trump drama or "Ask HN: What did you think of Kardashians last night?". Maybe it is relevant - but framing it sensationally is like toxic waste to this site's readers.

> the orthodoxy was that you shall not talk about everyday causes of depression or ADD

> So now we have a lot of taboos to talk about overdiagnosis of ADHD and gender dysphoria, talking about the DSM V criteria

They're not taboo. They're just not appropriate conversation topics for a hacking/finance website. The few times that it has become a big discussion topic has been through the lens of engineering lifestyles and personal experience. Even that is arguably too sappy for a non-Reddit website.

> Now it's OK to talk about it

> So yes.. right now the thing is to hate on Web3

Very subtle foreshadowing - you almost make it sound like Web3 has a second chance or something.

Truth is, like I said at the beginning - HN chooses what they want to hear. Most websites that give their users any degree of control over their experience let this happen (see Twitter, where users block the verified users). If you demand engagement on a topic nobody cares about, it stands to reason that you'll feel repeatedly disappointed by this website.
Card Network Tokenization: A Savior or Hidden Menace
Okay, want I cannot directly agree with in your original post is the notion that flow of time is an illusion and that it follows from the argument. Obviously, as you argue, with relativity, it is not possible to have an absolute 'now'. But isn't it possible to have a local flow of time? All things you perceive are not the events themselves (happened in your past), but their effects on your now.
> And the ability to get reliable parallelism for free - e.g. Java’s parallelStream - is not a feature of for loops.

This is the big one. For large datasets or computationally intensive processing the speed difference will be noticeable.

One of the issues with "cleverness" is also that code that's trivial for John Carmack to understand might not be for $BODY_SHOP_RESSOURCE_200353.

I recall a self taught dev (or maybe from a bootcamp) coming up with a cascade of nested if-else, nested 8 deep. Someone with a background in CS asked him what he was trying to do and basically concluded that what he was trying to do could be expressed as a state machine. To which the initial dev replied that it was "way too fancy" and that he didn't need the code to be fancy, just work.

Depending on use case, you can dodge the enclosure part by using premade enclosures that come with a machining service to make cutouts for ports etc. Eg Hammond, or Polycase. OOM cheaper at small to moderate runs than injection molding; ie $100 set up fees vice $10k+.

This is notable because the enclosure costs for injection molding can dominate costs otherwise. Eg, getting a PCB manufacturered and assembled from places like JLC is cost effective at any volume. There's no comparable option for injection molding.

This is interesting to me, and the article implicitly touches on it; the parts that seem most important: PCB design and firmware writing, other than the time costs, are dwarfed once you introduce injection molded enclosures. Or if you need certification for an intentional radiator.
I used to think this problem would solve itself, in that once people were fooled a few times, they'd stop being so easy to fool. The Trump era shut down that quaint idealistic notion. Turns out a lot of people -- maybe all of us to some extent -- actively enjoy being fooled. It makes for a communal experience that we'd otherwise miss out on, or something.

I wonder if anybody can relate to my experience. Maybe it is just me showing my age but though I agree the visuals of modern games have become, much, more impressive I much prefer the older style.
Deus Ex is a good example. The original, maybe my favorite game, shows it age. Even at the time it wasn't the most impressive looking game. The environments are simple, must edges perpendicular etc. But it made everything very clear etc. It seems it was more easy to parse for me. Deus Ex:MD looks gorgious, but there is so much going on, everything looks so complex and cluttered that it feels way to busy for me. Also there is often a bluriness to modern games, I cannot quite put my finger on it but it seems it was filmed with a lense covered in petroleum jelly. I much, much rather see jagged edges.
And more realistically how long we can afford to treat them humanely. I think we were in rather special place in recent decades. Where working population was high enough. Moving forward things are only getting worse in most developed countries.

It was standard practice back then to sit non technical and (separately) expert users in front of a product, film their reactions, and then adjust the product design until most of the swearing stopped.

Gnome 2 famously did this. Gnome 3 famously threw out the findings, which is why Linux Mint exists, and how KDE (eventually) caught up on usability.
> I'll be shallow and say this. Anyone that thinks that it's better to find cancer late than early or diabetes or blood pressure needs a head examination.

I'll be shallow and say this: I don't think you remotely understand what the article is saying. Let's make it simple and only consider a single of the article's points: there are not enough primary care physicians to provide yearly checkups for everyone. In this scenario, providing yearly checkups to someone healthy in their thirties is done at the cost of _not_ doing it for someone else. If that person is at a higher risk for cancer or diabetes, then promoting annual checkups for everyone can easily make it _harder_ to find cancer early since we're not focusing on high risk people. Of course there are many more points to the article (e.g. unnecessary treatment), but that single point is enough to make it quite obvious that the article is not entirely without merit.

What I find incredible is that you keep repeating that the article is terrible yet even after repeated questioning you are unwilling (or unable) to actually quote any single aspect that you take issue with.

This is an interesting viewpoint, and its corrolary is that the review says as much about your content as about the reviewer. Which means that you should take all reviews with a grain of salt, as they aren't entirely about you.
I wrote up a much longer reply to this, but I can't get myself to submit it. tl;dr is there are some basic things you cannot say in public today without getting cancelled. And I'm not talking about kiddy porn or extreme Trumpisms.

I previously worked for a Radiology PACS and it's hard to get funding/interest to even tackle the problem. With how lucrative it could be, I would think that a corporation would be very interested in putting resources into it, but this has not been my experience.

No PACS that I know of even wants to tackle digital pathology in a significant way, which last I heard had about 5% adoption versus glass slides.
!! Thank you for mentioning... and to add, human perception of contrast is actually driven more by the spatial characteristics (size, weight, thickness) than by the distance between two colors. This is a key reason that contrast measures that consider only the distance between two colors fail at predicting contrast.
It's just "they're laughing at you". This is actually interesting to me: possibly the thing that is most annoying to most people, though not all, in most societies is to be suckered. Maybe the next highest is hypocrisy.

I wonder if these are universal or if different societies have different "greatest sin". Like, does Japan, unbeknownst to me, have shamelessness as its?

Exactly, you should make your own judgement, based on your personal circumstances, including how agreeable you are.

In terms of dating, when I engage in that, I aim for pure companionship. It always struck me as wrong to use another person, either for intimacy or even as an emotional crutch. Relationships, when they do happen, usually last quite a while but may be a different experience for the other person involved, from their previous relationships.

However, these are personal anecdata. Is it so hard to look at the statistics and results and make your own conclusion?
Not OP (and not a fan of his whataboutism plus you don't deserve to be downvoted) but I think the issue is that India is so large and diverse that commentators can be right and wrong at the exact same time when painting a brush with the term "India".

When social and political norms can vary within individual states, let alone the entire country, it causes people to feel reporting about very negative or very positive news is propaganda one way or the other.

A lot of this is then further inflamed by IT Cells from parties across the board, especially because most NRIs are getting news about India via the internet plus social media.

Add to that the fact that most Western media isn't biased (I've worked with them), but might write articles using a broad brush that pisses other NRIs off and then we all devolve into regionalist or casteist bickering.

Eg. When the Unnao tragedy happened (which was horrible), it was reported in some western media that it was in India and broad brushed as an Indian issue. A number of Tamil and Malayali friends too offense to that and began saying "oh, it's actually Uttar Pradesh. Bhaiyyas are always like that" and regionalist shit like that, which obviously pissed off the UP+Bihari wale in my office.

On the side, you can see propagandists like Agnihotri inflaming Hindu-Muslim tensions by bringing up the Kerala Story as if every single Malayali Muslim is a future Jihadi and inflaming Hindi-Southern tensions by making a number of idiots assume Malayalis are a 5th column, which is an extremely horrible broad brushed assertation

And finally, a lot of people say that BJP voters are illiterate and illiteracy is pushing back India. As someone with family from small town India who has known illiterate people, they are smart as you and I. Just because they didn't get the opportunity to learn to read+write doesn't mean they can't think rationally and logically. So for NRIs from lower middle and working class (as a lot of NRIs increasingly are now), it feels very classist and insulting.

Basically, what I'm getting at is that we use our prior experiences and background to understand a country, but when you are dealing with a country as large and diverse as India it automatically falls apart.
With more or less the same tech, we can make Venus inhabitable. Would take a long time to cool and a lot more sunshade to cover the Sun, but once we start making them on the Moon and dispatch them with a magnetic rail launcher, it becomes a lot easier.

A similar technology could shield Mars from solar radiation and reduce exposure at the surface (at least from the Sun). If we could make it into a lensing system, we could focus protons or Alpha particles from the Sun into a small region of the planetary disc and slowly re-add hydrogen back into the planet’s atmosphere.
