Clojure can kinda-sorta simulate the true REPL workflow, if you're making something like a web server where deep calls down the code hierarchy only happen with each request. So you can rewrite and reload various functions while the server is still running and make requests from your browser again. The caveat is that eventually these redefinitions and overwrites pollute the namespaces and eventually something will break, at which point you reload your server.

You're implying a causative link between the visibility of consumer recycling and the prevalence of plastics, but I don't see that there is one. Is there more plastic packaging now because consumers demand it, or because producers can reduce product damage at low cost to themselves? If we want to reduce single use packaging we have to put economic/regulatory pressure on producers.

The time I tried this in with my previous carrier with a smartphone, I had to call the cellular provider and get the phone "authorized" before it would work. I don't know if this was specific to the carrier, specific to the phone, or to the era (~10 years ago).

With my current carrier, switching physical SIMs does not activate the phone on the service. I have to use an app. Perhaps this is because I use an MVNO? eSIMs make this easier.

I had no problem swapping SIMs for basic phone service in the pre-smartphone era.

Ask HN: Help a novel tech entrepreneur trying to get the first sales
Hi guys, I have been developing a digital signage projects aimed at restaurants and bars. It's all done by me. It is basic in the way that is a 32" screen that show at each time of the day the most desired products to sell. Each product is showed with a professional studio photography gastronomically optimized . Prices can be changed at any time and the whole thing is automated and unattended.

When I contact prospects I try communicate the potential to make more money from the same clients, but of course I can't tell specific numbers or ROI and this is frustrating me. I am designing now the sales process and would appreciate help from experienced fellows.

How would you approach this challenge?
That's not a good faith interpretation given the near infinite amount of options for conjuring up your favourite moneyprinting system of choice besides "machine code".

In my experience and understanding, those are voltages usb-c must support. Section 4.5 explains how the voltage is zero until a correct resistance is detected, then it can be negotiated up from there. Usb-c to usb-a cables always contain the right resistors to work at up to 5V, 3A. In fact if you go on aliexpress and buy male connectors to make a usb-c cable they will almost always have the resistors needed to make a usb a-c cable.

Sam Altman has never denied that GPT-4 is a mixture of experts model. He denied an early rumor that it was a 100 trillion parameter model.[1] The mixture of experts rumor states that GPT-4 is eight 220B models. That's far more plausible than a single 100 trillion model, and the sources (geohotz and Soumith Chintala[2]) have some credibility. But yeah, it's still only a rumor.

It is, and Docker for Mac uses QEMU for `--platform`, just like Podman AFAIK. The issue here is that it's QEMU user-space emulation, which does not support some syscalls, like `ioctl`.

The fix here would be to spin an amd64 VM and run the binary or install Docker there, instead of relying on the more convenient - but less compatible - user-space emulation of Docker. Not very related to this very interesting presentation on virtualizing ARM macOS guests on QEMU hosts..

If tarsnap has even a modicum of popularity, thanks to these prices it would be bringing in bank. If he's making bank, that means he's providing value (even if it's just to "uninformed"). And it seems this system mostly runs itself, so it's a side gig. It's probably a far more effective allocation than many other possible allocations of human capital.

How many of the world's best and brightest are doing all sorts of busywork? At least Colin has some time to do whatever he wants to do while running tarsnap.

No; that kind of thought experiment heavily biases in favor of large organizations.

> This isn't as good of a thing as you think. Instead of focusing on finding out the scope of the compromise and making sure the threat actors are contained and can't easily compromise again, incident responders will ger pressures to focus on answering questions about who gets notified.

Huh? These new SEC rules are about 100% public notifications in 100% public SEC filings, unlike many state data breach laws. If a bit of information falls within the new SEC rules, literally anyone in the world who wants to look at the company's SEC filings gets to see the notification.

Nothing about this requires scouring through compromised data for pii before fixing the problem, because who gets notified under this rule does not depend on who was affected - the notification recipient is the whole world.

> They should be given enough time to thoroughly respond to it [...] It takes as long as it has to take.

Indeed, and the actual SEC rule is much more in line with what you're saying than the very misleading headline of this article. The actual rule requires them to notify (via public SEC filing) within four business days of determining that the cybersecurity incident is material, and that they must make the materiality determination without unreasonable delay after the incident. (There are other exceptions for e.g. delays warranted for national security reasons.)

So, if somehow it takes 5 business days after incident discovery to realize it's material because initial investigations which were not unreasonably delayed genuinely make it appear to be a tiny incident, and then a much larger impact is eventually determined, notifying within 9 business days of discovering the incident complies with this rule.

The article title is also misleading in other ways: aside from the difference between 4 business days and 4 calendar days, it's not true that the SEC "now requires" anything new. The rule won't have any effect before mid-December 2023, and some bits won't apply to smaller companies before mid-2024.

For one, it's almost never a chat. You go there, and the other person who might be talking last posted 12 hours ago. That's not an immediate conversation. These are still "comments". It's a clumsy interface. Then, despite no longer having to be a "comment on a question" like in the main interface, it's still this crappy pseudo-IRC that doesn't give you full markdown to work with.

I think the word 'greed' is making too much of a moral judgment.

Companies are groups of individuals, that are greedy.

Unions are groups of individuals, that are greedy.

Why is one morally superior to the other?

Also.-- Not all greed.
During industrial revolution, in factory jobs. It was not uncommon to have a hand chopped off in an press, or any dozens of injuries. If you lost a hand, and can't work, and your family starved, then what. Fighting against those conditions is not 'greed'.

You might retort, in a free market, workers could just leave. But that doesn't work if all jobs are the same. Leave one factory to got to another, both are unsafe? You are missing where entire systems can lock people in (too poor to leave the factory town), and the only re-course is to try and change the current situation, by forming unions or protesting, or revolt.

Also, think you are missing how power dynamics work.

This short video on 'the implication' helps explain the relationships that exists within corporations (boss-employee)

EDIT> DO have to add. I am pretty biased toward unions as they were needed during Industrial Revolution. Some did later morph and become problems. And in modern context, maybe Unions aren't the answer, but we need something to push back against wide spread wage suppression. It is crazy that people can have full time jobs, and still be on welfare. That is Corporations benefiting by the government making up the difference, and allowing the corp to profit more. But, if you just cut people off, they starve and revolt. So what is answer.

The more buzzwords there are in the text, the less I understand the text.
"coal demand fell faster than previously expected in the first half of this year in the United States and the European Union — by 24% and 16%, respectively" ..... "demand from the two largest consumers, China and India, grew by over 5% during the first half, more than offsetting declines elsewhere"

This is the crux. Despite the shaming I continually receive here in the US any time I am not 100% supportive of "green" initiatives, other countries are going to do what other countries are going to do.
Actually, starting from 2013/15 these conditions did appear out of thin air with the unregulated non-stop printing of dollars. Unlimited VC funds for almost any start-up in tech. Near zero interest rates. Those were the times that got us here.

>> For every scientific achievement, someone in India discovered it decades before.

I have an electronics book from =~ 1950, Romania (still under Soviet occupation at the time). For literally every invention listed there like radio or the vacuum tube, they cite the recognized inventor (Marconi, Lee de Forest) then launch in a visceral diatribe against capitalism and imperialism and state that the thing was first invented by some Russian mujic (peasant), along with it's name, village and picture. But capitalist pigs somehow stole the brilliant but poor guy's invention and pretended it's theirs.

So it happens, not just in India. There is an entire retarded cultural movement, I forgot the name, where some God-forgotten tiny place like say "Elbonia" pretends, with evidence, that they invented everything and were everywhere before everyone.
Who actually wants this?
This is the main issue I wanted to bring the conversation towards. instead I got flamed for making it seem like I am a "sue-aholic." Some people use their Github for business use and allowing Github to change a username without notice is bad blood. On top of that Github has no mention of telling its user base of changing usernames with or without notice. There is almost no mention that they can do whatever they like on their platform with your personal account details. If Github ever does end up changing someone's username and that person was doing what you said. Github would be in deeper trouble than what OP does have.

Obviously OP understands the company's decision for changing his username but he was allowed to have it in the beginning. It is odd to backtrack and force a name change without notice. Github should update their policy with new reasonings for allowing themselves the ability to change your username(or account details) without notice. Afterall If Github can change my username(or account details), I would like that to be communicated to me.
> "free money for everyone, whats the problem, we don't really need to work?!" don't seem to understand that someone has to do the work you're avoiding, or else things don't progress.

No they don't. If this was the case, salaries would be low across the board, instead there's an ever increasing wealth inequality. There are a lot of people with jobs because of organizational inefficiencies. Lots of people that are there for that one to two hours of work because it falls into a weird area that can't be assigned to someone else. And the company doesn't give a shit if these people did a lot more - if they did, they pay them to do it. Starbucks doesn't care if the manager walks in and cleans tables to a mirror shine every ten minutes, they care that it's clean and that all managers as a whole are following a protocol of wiping things down every hour.

The War on Drugs was never about drugs.

Absolutely agree. Adding to this the most naturally powerful and deadly drugs on earth grow in just about every field in most of the northern United States and in parts of northern Europe. Those other weeds are not and have never been illegal nor could they practically be made illegal as they are near impossible to get rid of. Singling out marijuana AFAIK was initially about stopping competition in the paper industry and the system never corrected itself when it started feeding the prison industrial complex and allowing cops to lock up specific groups of people they disliked and justifying bigger budgets and entirely new agencies to be created.

I do not have any good ideas for how to fix this. Maybe replace MJ with the more deadly stuff until the system implodes under its own weight whilst accepting the casualties? Henbane may be safer than eating tide pods.
I've been using Linux and UNIX (Solaris, HP-UX) on my workstation since 1999. I did a 2 year experiment on using a (non-rooted) Chromebook as my only machine and it works fine for everything except the terrible window management, very basic UI, and occasionally having access to the system to debug peripherals.

I'm back on Linux using XFCE, and it's much better being able to set hotkeys to what I want.
> When I started using CL 20 years ago, libraries were stored on cliki and any malicious user could put malware there. Any source you asdf-installed was generally GPG signed and the installer automatically checked signatures against your personal trust-chain.

I think you have it backwards, progress should lead us to a world where you don't really need to work. I always think of that John Quincy Adams quote: "I study politics and war so that my son can study mathematics, commerce, and agriculture, so their sons can study poetry, painting, and music."

A younger generation being able to create a life that doesn't require backbreaking, soulless, exploitative work is a good sign. It means that we've done our job to give them an easier future. I don't want my kids to have to work as hard or as much as I have. It's our duty to our descendents and will be their duty to theirs.
> Coal is a fossil fuel. Its use has a substantial impact on the environment, with environmental organization Greenpeace describing it as “the dirtiest, most polluting way of producing energy.”

That may be true, but it hurts a bit that it was also Greenpeace who brought about increased coal mining by lobbying the German government to shut down all their nuclear energy facilities.

There's a lot more creep early on, which is compensated for by a staged tensioning over the course of a few days. They may require the spoke holes in the hub to be radiused, which can be a warranty issue between you and the hub manufacturer. Windup is controlled by a flat on the small bit of spoke used for threads.

They're ok (i.e., made it through Tour Divide with no issues), done well they're certainly better than badly done steel spokes, but it's not clear if the best builds are better than the best steel builds.
In this case (Linuxifying Chromebooks), it would be green because the supported Chromebooks are pretty ancient and available in large quantities from refurbishers.

While I get this as a risk, I'm not convinced it's any more risky than a larger corporate entity.

This is Colin's job. Colin has his name attached to it. It's really important to Colin.

You're not going to get the same kind of service from BigBackupCorp. Their employees are replaceable, their management is replaceable, and to be honest, you as a customer are replaceable, if they decide to move in a different direction and become BigFlowerArrangementShippingCorp.

The neat thing about a small business is that it runs entirely on its own profits. There are no stock price games or VC jiggery-pokery or anything like that. If it's a profitable business, there will be somebody to come along and take it over and make it their job with their name attached to it. I think the open Internet benefits a lot from this sort of thing.
