Nice, but I wouldn't confuse static images with the underlying semantic graph of live objects that's not visible in pictures.

DonHopkins on June 14, 2014

Precisely! When Lisp Machine programmer look at a screen dump, they see a lot more going on behind the scenes than meets the eye.

I'll attempt to explain the deep implications of what the article said about "Everything on the screen is an object, mouse-sensitive and reusable":

There's a legendary story about Gyro hacking away on a Lisp Machine, when he accidentally trashed the function cell of an important primitive like AREF (or something like that -- I can't remember the details -- do you, Scott? Or does Devon just make this stuff up? ;), and that totally crashed the operating system.

It dumped him into a "cold load stream" where he could poke around at the memory image, so he clamored around the display list, a graph of live objects (currently in suspended animation) behind the windows on the screen, and found an instance where the original value of the function pointer had been printed out in hex (which of course was a numeric object that let you click up a menu to change its presentation, etc).

He grabbed the value of the function pointer out of that numeric object, poked it back into the function cell where it belonged, pressed the "Please proceed, Governor" button, and was immediately back up and running where he left off before the crash, like nothing had ever happened!

Here's another example of someone pulling themselves back up by their bootstraps without actually cold rebooting, thanks to the real time help of the networked Lisp Machine user community:

Are you saying the GitHub reporter should have done something different?

It was in active use before the report. Lemmy.world, among others, was defaced and redirecting to nsfw sites.
There are buttons at the bottom of the address bar for Bookmarks, Tabs, and History, and they even show you the shortcuts.

Well that's the first time I've seen a web page consume 80% of my GTX 1080!

I don't understand this site though, there are no details or pricing, and the signup is a typeform link?

Also, was I the only one that read the headline, and thought this meant somehow deploying containers in the microsoft edge browser?
But Windows also didn't have decent DOS story until Windows/386.
That was my first thought. I will literally never use any of these simply because I can't remember all of them. !h __, !b __, or !a __ would be something I could possibly remember.

EDIT: To be clear I hate being a downer here. But I will never use these. Nobody I work with will ever use them either. This is for the 1% of the 1% and a few minor tweaks would make it actually useful with the default bindings.
You mean (in order of "startup" and importance) GNU/systemd/Linux?
I use a nice little Firefox extension (might also be available for Chrome) called TabList - it's about 20 lines of code and works great.
Should "unzip" be "dezip" then?

Should "unbuckle" be "debuckle"?

Unlock, untie, unplug, unfold, I could go on.

Sorry, but your pedantry is simply incorrect. "un-" as a prefix to mean reverting the action is perfectly valid and very common.
Because it's not. It is trivial to buy a book on the Kindle store, and while it may be trivial to us here to go and pirate a azw3 and transfer it, it's not to most people

People always forget the pareto principle when it comes to anti-piracy. No, they don't stop everyone, but a minor hurdle stops a hell of a lot of "ordinary" people
No I didn't fool around with Linux until almost 2004.
Great post, and great links; thanks!
I keep everything on a wiki I run on a home server.

Over the decades, I think I've tried just about every method of maintaining my knowledge base, project notes, to-do lists, etc. And the only one that works even halfway decently for me is a wiki.

It's searchable, the simplicity of markup means I won't get side-tracked into wasting time on layout and eye candy, it's easy to search, if I have internet access then I can access it from anywhere, and the wiki I use allows simple embedded spreadsheets and other such functionality for more complex data.

Plus, it's very easy to allow others secure access to it for when I want to share notes, or keep notes that are updated by multiple people (such as when collaborating on a project), or to distribute very large files.
I'm using Firefox right now. When I highlight in the bar and press tab, ONLY when the drop-down bar is showing, it moves the cursor down one to Amazon, which is not my default search engine, but the first one alphabetically.

So that doesn't work.

I also don't want to search my default search engine. I want tab to search for the panoply of websites that the omnibox will search. When I start typing ebay, I want "tab to search ebay".

I know I can set them up manually (a pain, but might be worth the investment to avoid the google overlord), however, I still don't get the "tab to search blah" function with a keyword. I have to type the keyword exactly -instead of having tab function as autocomplete- then space for my query.

What I want is omnibox tab to search.

It's just as true for the opposite sex. Just that there aren't really any men-only colleges.
If you think harmful things it doesn't count. it's only when thoughts are verbalized or become actions that there's a problem. Where a person, when sober, isn't abusive and doesn't hit people, but does when drunk, is say alcohol is the cause. if they're mean abusive drunks who can lay off the sauce, then they're actually okay people and it doesn't matter that they're mean and abusive when drunk.

I say this as the grandchild of an alcoholic. Alcohol is the problem. You're right that there're underlying things, but they lie there, just beneath the surface, mostly untouched and undisturbing without alcohol.
The Tweet says it's still there, just slightly more buried than it used to be. Which is a shame since it's one of the most useful features in Chrome and not a lot of people know about it.

Still way less confusing than Firefox's UI for this though. What I like most about Chrome's implementation is how by default the search engine is linked to the main site, so I can type "yo<enter>" to visit the YouTube homepage or "yo<tab>" to search YouTube. And there's no need to manually set anything up (except to click the "activate" button now next to each site you want to the feature on, unfortunately).
NOTE: GDPR talks about "processors" and "controllers" but I'm going to simplify and just say "companies".

GDPR purports to apply to the processing of personal data of people in these cases:

1. When the company is established in the Union, regardless of whether the processing takes place in the Union or not.

2. When the company is not established in the Union but the processing is related to offering goods or service (paid or free) to people in the Union.

3. When the company is not established in the Union but but the processing is related to monitoring behavior that takes place in the Union.

Having worked in finance for many years at various types of firms (banks, hedge funds, fintech startups) and hired many FAANG folks, this breakdown from a former FAANG hire put it best:

"At FAANG, there were always more people than work to do. This led to lots of infighting for the best projects.

In finance, there is always more work than people so the fighting is more about trying to make multiple stakeholders happy with limited resources."

Another ex-FAANG colleague called it "cookie licking" since everyone wanted to make sure a cool project was theirs before anyone else took it away.

I can only imagine that this all happened due to the economic effects of being monopolies and therefore being able to just hire all of the best talent without necessarily having something for that talent to do.
You read too many spy novels my dude.

There are lots of former LE and intel people in any company that deals with analysis of massive amounts of data, because that is specifically what some of these skillsets are trained for. Leaving the IC absolutely is a thing and I can tell you without a doubt that giving up your FAANG job which pays 5-10x what an equivalent government job to break company policy is not something that most of those folks are willing to do.

Ironically I find those ex-LE folks to be more protective of the data, because if they ever went back into government or needed a clearance, those questions are not only asked, but if someone has violated the trust of their employer, it's very frowned upon.
Your brain is not deciding where the cannon ball is, it is predicting where it is and them making that prediction a certainty. That is the collapse of the wave function, turning a probability into a certainty.
At least in SE Michigan, the trends seem to be in your direction. Buyers & renters have favored floor plans that do not invite the basement stairs to laundry day for ~4 decades now. And builders have mostly noticed that longer plumbing runs don't boost their bottom lines.

(Not saying that I've seen much laundry in the kitchen yet - just closely adjacent to it.)
LOL. Alright then, Mr New York Times.
Using them to assemble more pick-and-place machines of course :]
These days the title "senior engineer" is handed out like candy. Anyone with three years experience is now "Senior" in title. In the US, doctors fresh out of med school have a minimum of three years ahead before they can even begin to practice independently. For programming, and pretty much any other profession, senior doesn't really begin until nearing 10 years of work experience.

At that point, that itch to turn boring problems into interesting problems takes on a different form: What becomes "interesting" is doing things within constraints, including the constraint of staying with existing technology, when it's solving the problem.
Hmmm....how long did it take the US to leave Afghanistan again?
This all happens because the person doing the work "knows what they're doing". They "know" exactly what they're doing. And they "know" that whatever prompts that come up are there as part of the process of doing what they "know" that they're doing.

This process is not an exploratory process for them at that point, it's simply the actions necessary to get it done. Check the box, sign the form, stand on one leg, "yea yea, yada yada yada. GO!!!".

The fact that they are WRONG in their knowledge is long past. This is not in question in their mind. The decision is done, now it's all action. And we all have long become immune to all of the click throughs and other arcane dances necessary to "get things done".

It's no different from being in an intersection and seeing another driver LOOK RIGHT AT YOU and drive into you anyway. You're not "supposed to be there", and they have that driving maneuver locked into their brain, they're just following through.
Honestly, when we're discussing with humans we want the humans' response. Anyone of us can ask ChatGPT, I don't know why people keep pasting its answers

Yeah it's pretty hard problem as you'd need to defragment physical memory (while fixing all the virtual-to-physical mappings) to make contiguous block to free
Ah...my little step-brother had the Arthur one. "Hey hey, it's time to play!" every morning....

I was around high-school-senior age and remember thinking how cool it was to have toys with even some semblance of "smarts" in them.

Of course it was mostly a few preprogrammed routines and a nice chunk of stored audio with the daily "fun facts", but still way cooler than the old Teddy Ruxpin. I bet they'd be cool to hack around on.

Nowadays they'd be tied to some mobile phone app/account and end up on the HN front page when someone finds the database of recorded audio and video on an unsecured server somewhere.
You are narrating my life back to me right now, and it's creepy and weird.

I'm sorry that you've experienced this horrible treadmill of despair, as well. It doesn't get better.
I'm not an "elite". And no, I will not condone you wallowing in your self-harming coping memes, of which an overfocus on "elites" is most certainly one.

The "elites" want you to move in their preferred direction, yes. But much of that bearing is just common sense - so pushing in the exact opposite direction out of spite puts you further behind and suits them just as well.

If you actually want to actually assert your own independence, you have to do the excruciating work of using reason to figure out the right direction to push that actually represents your own self interest.
Regardless of their skill, they only get one chance to make a first impression.
wait an hour after waking up before drinking your first sip of coffee. Google "andrew huberman coffee" if you want to know why, I'm not smart enough to explain well and just know that it does work (at least for me).
Yes but modules are very unergonomic for some of the use cases listed in the article, with their dependence on `__init__.py` and imports being wonky.
"Where would energy come from for creating each universe?"

Why does it have to come from somewhere? What if it just is?
Yes! Like the leaker of Panama Papers.

Why on earth did Snowden reveal himself? Did he think he'd be like Daniel Ellsberg? Surely he'd seen what happened to Assange and Manning?

>> By marrying, a man becomes a better employment risk. Married men usually are regarded as more steady, more trustworthy employees than single men. This is logical. Marriage exerts a stabilizing influence on most men.

Oh wow has that changed. Kids and families = time away from the office. Marriage is also the leading cause of divorce, which tends to reduce productivity across a few years, especially if child custody is an issue. And, contrary to past working conditions where promotions were steady, a married person with a young family is now probably more likely to jump ship for a better job at higher pay rather that wait out a decade for in-house promotions.
I did not seen all that much promotions based on technical competency. We promote based on impressions of upper management that have zero to do with technical competency and zero to do with leadership ability.

Also, pretty much all non technical lower level managers were disaster. And issue was not just their lack of tech knowledge in pure form, but their insecurity, inferiority complexes and what not everybody else had to deal with. And profound not understanding of culture around tech just lead to completely unnecessary misunderstanding.

Lack of technical knowledge in the context of managing technical people imply that you will fail in social aspect too.
These policies also just make for bad science in general. In science you need people challenging the status quo, not everyone, but a significant percentage. A publish or perish paradigm encourages railroading in intellectual thought as well as encourages laziness in evaluation, as there is increased pressure on all researchers who are also the ones performing reviews. People who have zero incentive to perform a good review and many incentives to do a quick review (which is even actively encourage). This results in an over-reliance on benchmarkism, which we see in many fields. In ML we see SOTA chasing, forgetting that datasets are proxies which have their own biases and limitations as well as the same for our evaluation methods. In many of the softer sciences -- such as psychology or medicine -- we see a reliance on p-values, forgetting that 0.05 is an arbitrary value and not meaningful without additional context. All our sciences are converging on Goodhart's "Warning."

There is utility in both speed and in a slow step. The truth is that we need both. A continuum of methods and ideas. After all, we are searching in the dark and our only real advantage is parallel Monte Carlo search. The problem is that this is incredibly difficult to accurately evaluate and we are arrogantly attempting to evaluate exceptionally noisy systems with extreme precision without even having a basic model of that system. We could relate this to businesses too, but the timetables for them are typically shorter and so the chaff can more clearly be gained (often post-explained through pure intent instead of it's combination with luck). Then again, we are trying to make academia a business, trying to apply their noisy successes to a completely different model.
Even if this particular ship is an outlier, the broader point stands regarding the make-up of refugee populations.

And concerning Pakistan, former PM Imran Khan stated his fall from power was caused by US interference. That counts as major.
ROFL. Good one.
> how well written this was for it’s time

This is the first time I've encountered the sentiment that things have become better written in the last 3-6 generations. Are you really surprised that a book from 1946 would be well written? I´d love to glean an idea of your views on this to widen my own views.
I am not 100% sure what the NGOs do when they arrive in NYC but it seems that they do get hotel rooms fully paid for by the NGOs. What is more surprising is the huge amount of new stuff they purchase and discard. The whole thing is completely orchestrated by people and organizations with HUGE amounts of money. I don't understand what they are trying to accomplish. I don't fully understand how the migrants can afford to waste so much either, it's insane: https://t.me/retardsoftiktok/15550
Non-native speaker here. Is there a ranking to "key", "vital", "crucial", and "important", or should I read these as being equivalently important? I'm taking the latter as lesser than the former three, though that also depends on what Kagi is I suppose.
Works for me. Where are you & who is your isp?
Can “superforecasters” predict whether humanity is going extinct?
I am not sure where you get the 2.5Mbps and 4 Mbps number from because those are very high numbers for streaming ( or even for torrent downloading ) for those resolution and Youtube dont use any where near those number. A quick check shows Youtube only uses around 600Kbps on 720P video. And anywhere between 1.5 to 1.8Mbps for 1080P content. I am guessing their relatively low quality compared to their bitrate is because their encoding process optimise for encoding time rather than quality per bit simply because of the volume they have per day.
I think it would be easier to just enable KSM (KVM can use it to deduplicate memory and save some RAM on duplicate blocks like people loading same libraries into memory)
But Smalltalk also has inheritance and metaclasses, so it wasn't just objects passing messages. It was also designed as a visual live programming environment which was basically the entire computer system. Kay had his vision, but Smalltalk was implemented as more than just message passing.

That and Simula proceeded Smalltalk, which C++ was inspired by, even if Kay coined OOP.
Eh, because it sounds like the violation of labor laws in many places.

I might seem crazy here, but have the button download their complete account excluding sensitive information like passwords or credit card info as a file for them. Then delete it off your server.

That way, if they can recover it with that file. You could even make it a gigantic jwt token to validate the data incoming.

have the incoming file behave like new sign up.
One doesn't get paid $300k/year to fuck around and choose what you work on yourself. Very often you will get punished for making management decisions above your pay grade at this level.
> You had managers who "took the fall" for the team?

Correct. In addition, sometimes advocating for those under you is a sacrificial act, because you're putting your reputation on the line.
Oracle does maintain Solaris, which would seem to me to entail a much larger support burden than Red Hat's stewardship of their enterprise Linux distribution.

Oracle also ships a few Linux userspace utilities outside of the main yum repos; the btrfs utilities come to mind. There really isn't any obvious btrfs performance need within Oracle or its products, which runs contrary to the spirit of your observations; in fact the Oracle database is explicitly not supported on btrfs.

Note 2290489.1: "Oracle DB has specifically said that they do not support using BTRFS filesystems... BTRFS is optimized for non-database workloads."

I will also somewhat agree with you in circumspection on the quality of Oracle's 24x7 support. I have endured frustrating delays on SRs for various reasons, and have been forced to escalate in the past. I don't know if IBM's $1,299 24x7 support is good, but I can say that Oracle's has been astonishingly bad - be prepared to escalate, which usually moves things along.

I think that, if IBM decided to let go of all of their RHEL developers, Oracle is certainly capable of assuming this burden.
Yep, streaming sites use so much compression to save on costs that everything looks much worse then it should.
I’m not a Meta fan by any stretch, but calling one of the fastest growing products in human history [1] DOA seems a bit disingenuous, or at least premature.

How does the digital age change things? Copyright was invented when copying became easy, and hence arrived due to the printing press. A book is no different to a digital download in that the cost to produce it is tiny, and you're paying for the intellectual property, not the physical production of it

Stéphane was very helpful to me on the Linux Containers forum[1] when I was just getting started with LXD. We now use it in production for Ark[2] and run each of our apps in separate LXD instances across our physical nodes. It's stable and it just works.

So I am sad to hear this as it's a great loss to the LXD/LXC community, but I do hope the best for Stéphane and hope he lands somewhere he enjoys!

Thank you Stéphane for what you did for LXD/LXC and for helping me with my dumb newbie questions some years ago :)
