I used a HP-35s for a long time in a previous job where I had to do quite a bit of arithmetic. It's the "35th anniversary edition" of the "classic" HP-35 RPN calculator (IIRC the 35s can do infix as well, but I never used it). It's a really nice calculator, but I no longer have it (when I moved to New Zealand I had to get rid of a lot of stuff).

These days, opening a new terminal or whatnot is just as fast, allows copy/paste from my computer, and unlike that job I'm not stuck on a Windows machine so I have some more flexibility.

In zsh I have this:

autoload -U zcalc # Get quick results for "zc 6 * 6", or just use "zc" to get zcalc
alias zc >/dev/null && unalias zc
zc() { if (( $# )); then zcalc -e ${(j: :)argv}; else zcalc; fi }
alias zc='noglob zc'

No RPN though; I still really like RPN, but context switching between infix and RPN is hard.
And now for a slightly different take on the much-discussed room temp. superconductors:

on the off chance that this LK-99 stuff is actually going to be a thing, how should that influence my investment portfolio over the course of the next five years?

How a template engine works (2016)
The statement "Linux does not have a stable userland ABI/API" is about the kernel. If you are talking about glibc you are already in the Linux OS/GNU Linux (whatever it is called) domain.

I think I correctly interpreted Linus when he talked about the kernel API/ABI facing the user (developer of application).

A lot of trouble you are going to get maintaining builds are due to poor tooling, not linux.

But we are getting into semantics here. At the end of the day, I think that if you are careful with what you are doing and think a little before choosing your tools and writing code, you should get very good mileage out of your linux binaries.

I don't know enough about windows to comment on its stability but I very much doubt I could just slide my original Quake CD or 3DS max 4 install into Windows 10. But I might be wrong!
"Do you mind if I ask what you use those for?"

"As for the tracking - I'm pretty sure Firefox blocks a lot of those by default, last time I checked it was plastered all across their homepage"

And the thing is, that firefox itself is tracking you and sends that data home. Maybe look up what "studies" mean. But so far at least you can opt out of it, unlike with chrome.
An even better version of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anisotropic_conductive_film or "zebra tape", maybe.

JPEG-XL is a feature the web can live without. But unlike Chrome, Firefox won't kill ad blockers or introduce DRM.
That's terrible!

Rate limits and billing limits should definitely be included, even on personal numbers.
All this talk about what is or isn't stable ABI on Linux is irrelevant to the article anyway. The article's author explicitly doesn't want their 15-year LTS to ever update its OS or libraries. So ABI stability is not a concern.
No it is not.

What a toxic mindset.

Men tend to regulate their emotions through actions rather than words
Society or companies are paying in many cases for LTS <<15 yrs. So at least there should be a price tag to compare the options.

If I buy a car (which is a lot of software these days), I expect something like 20 yes LTS. So it is simple as that software support needs to be tied to reasonable hardware lifetime otherwise it is planned obsolecence (at least if you cannot run it air gapped). 5yrs is reasonable for servers, phones or toys I guess. But particularly many embedded systems that worst case have been certified need longer support (medical, automation, transport, ...). Maybe better circular economies for HW would be a better way out in the future. Maybe we could even safe resources if e.g. energy expensive computing parts of HW could be replaced. The problem is current certification proceedures ansld related costs I guess.

I'm mystified by this comment. Keigo isn't some high-level PhD topic, it's used constantly in everyday usage. Even an intermediate speaker needs to understand some, or they'll be unable to follow many basic conversations. And sure, nobody is likely to yell at a foreigner for not using it perfectly, but given how common it is it's a very reasonable thing for even an intermediate speaker to want to practice.
The angel hair squash (not really a squash) is in a different species Cucurbita hederifolia, and it cames true by seed.

Maybe the yellow skin could turn more green and splotched like the wild species, but is basically the same in terms of edibility.

Is also one of the pumpkins that can really last. You can store the beautifully yellow mottled green fruit for more than four years in a dry place. It it was pick carefully, will be perfectly edible still after this time. Wouldn't try the same with a Cucurbita maxima.
Maybe we need HDCP headphones/speakers?
The tone and quality of this article is atrocious. Let alone demanding that software developers (the very ones the author spends a chunk of the article belittling) work for free for 15 years. There is more nuance than upgrading everything 6 months/yearly versus being fine with still using Windows XP 20 years later.

As an aside it feels not only blogs but news articles from places like the BBC and NPR have several glaring spelling and grammatical errors. The quality of writing either has gone down significantly the past few years or is it my standards of writing being higher now?
It’s too tiresome to argue with these people. Let reality show them what’s possible and not. Models already can tell apart falsehoods but they are too small right now to do so reliably. GPT4 has the world’s knowledge in its model and it has the capacity of a mouse’s brain. It’s vastly overstretched. So it’ll hallucinate.
In grad school I learned how to use a slide rule mostly to scare undergrads, but once I got used to it I absolutely loved it. I picked up a really cool brass one from a bookstore in Paris a few years later, and ever since then I've used it for any problem with few enough digits.
Near where I live we've got a guided busway (a track system that modified buses can travel down, tram-style).

On the railway bridge before it's entrance there's a height barrier in advance consisting of a whole load of bells that dangle down from a metal bar and will hit over-height vehicles without making a really solid collision.

They still haven't figured out a way to stop cars driving up the bus tracks, though (where they inevitably get stuck).
> It seems Everyone is taking for granted the claim that this is about DRM. The claim is that websites (not Google) will use this signal to allow or deny access but this is already possible with various means.

How about you offer a reasonable opposing viewpoint? It's hard to see this, at best, as anything other than an extremely naive viewpoint. Every feature that can be used to lock down content and/or spy on users, will be used to do just that. That's true for every single feature that exists today. Claiming otherwise borders on bad faith.

> Google or any other Browser vendor do not have a say on how websites use or misuse features.

That's settled then. Full filesystem, location, camera, and microphone access should therefore come on by default without a permission dialog. Why not bring back Java and Flash while we're at it! It's not the browser vendor's fault that websites are misusing it.

> Many articles are just reapeating the "DRM" claim without explaining how is this different

This is different because any meaningful "attestation about the environment the browser is running in" can only be achieved via a full chain of trust, starting with secure boot, which will allow Google (and websites you visit) to verify that your system is using a Google-approved bootloader to load a Google-approved operating system which only loads Google-approved drivers and Google-approved software (or worse, website-approved software).

The whole piece reeks of right winged conspiracy theory BS.

"Indeed, things have deteriorated beyond repair when child protection laws must be scrapped under political pressures."

What the author carefully omits to mention is that the Hungarian "child protection" law the EU opposes conflates pedophilia with homosexuality.[1] Go figure.

Google's market cap was already at over $100B with billions in revenue and hundreds of millions in profits when it bought DoubleClick and YouTube.

So while those were big aquisitions (Around $3B and $2B) they only accelerated the process of Google turning into the web's central player. It was already set in motion before the aquisitions.

This a problem for me.

I've been a long time Firefox user, but the UI/UX has stagnated (like all browsers) for so long. I'm enjoying using Arc at the moment because it's rethinking a lot of things that bug me about the traditional browser UI paradigm but I also know that it's a trendy startup that could either: explode, decide to change features radically at the drop of a hat (pivot), or simple do something distasteful to please investors.

Extensions technically fill in the gap on the Firefox side, like Containers, but the UX is just an afterthought.
They often say they don't use problematic features.
Afraid the site's design could hypnotise you into double clicking the exe and accepting the browser's, MotW and smartscreen warning dialogs?

Instagram silently rolls out message reminders
Instagram has silently rolled out a new feature that some users might find annoying: Message Reminders. An app that sends reminders to check missed or unread messages is not new. Some messenger apps like Skype send reminders to users who have not opened incoming messages
I also saw this as Google feeling threatened by users knowing the url and going directly to websites other than Google. Remove the URL and all browsing is on Google.
You don't have to emulate windows, you only need to provide the compatible interface. I'm not making a silly joke here. There's lots more that makes windows windows than the libraries that manage memory and transform data structures into pixels. And that additional part with many crappy and annoying parts is not necessary. There's no "windows" on my StreamDeck and it's running lots of modern games.
Just imagine how much worse it would be if the graduate had an art history degree. I mean, it's fascinating but it doesn't tend to be relevant on the job.

The idea that university is job training just needs to go. The academic material may be relevant for work later on but it often isn't, and on the job there is way more to learn.

SMS is the only second factor that works for people without smartphones. Having a smartphone means signing your life (your location 24/7, your messages, your contacts, your everything) over to either Google or Apple.

I understand the security aspect and realistically most people will have smartphones anyway, but forcing everyone into this surveillance duopoly, especially as Apple is overpriced and Google is ad company with stated mission of removing privacy, makes me pretty salty.

There should be a better way.
No. I have a RealCalc app on my phone, though: works quite similarly as a physical one, and I keep using it daily.

A high chance that lead can be replaced with other metal, from what I heard.

Also, it’s not extremely toxic - romans ate from lead dishes and didn’t even notice the toxicity.

You don’t want to consume it, and you don’t want to breathe it, but it’s not as bad as say, asbestos.

If you have an ICE car, it probably has a lead-acid battery, and the only thing that prevents us from using lead in grid storage is their short lifespan - not health or ecology :)

Also, if you ever took an x-ray, you wore a lead jacket to prevent unnecessary radiation.

If we cannot avoid lead in this alleged superconductor, it may limit applications slightly, but not by much.
Ha, I've been talking about the same topic with an experimental physics professor friend of mine. He was just not interested at all, like "I've seen stuff like that so many times before, I'm not interested at this point. I may look at it when there's a publication in a serious journal." while I was like "Hey it's popcorn time, this is a fun ride, whatever the outcome!". =)
>we will just have robocalls being routed through simboxes filled with prepaid SIM cards.

it would cost a lot of money, especially if carriers limit the number of numbers you can call each month before an additional charge (100-200 numbers / month then extra fee ?)

> You can get local phone numbers for a trivial amount of money

and companies that provides phone numbers them can also monitor suspicious traffic.

I remember that when I first opened an account at Callcentric, they froze it until their support could reach me to ask a few questions.

Now, I've had it for a few year, did just a few calls, and I no longer have to go through that to subscribe to more services.

On a slightly different topic, cloud providers have learned to keep their IPs clean, even if you can get some for cheap. They just check what you're doing.

So it can be done !
i wonder the cost of buying it ?
What difference do you see between a browser and an OS? A browser is an OS. They perform the same role. A context to run whatever 3rd party software.

If a project is too complex for a single organisation, then break it up into 2-3 projects. That is how OSS software handles complex tasks. Someone could do a real LLVM-style browser project then we don't have to use javascript which'd catapult us all into the 21st century.
Thanks for the comment. Cool - those languages are on the long list so will hopefully be able to add them soon.

There's no max to the fluency score, although, in reality, it would probably be very hard to get anything over about 200. The fluency score is obviously fairly arbitrary and is calculated using the number of unique words and the rate at which you speak. I've found it to be a useful objective measure to compare yourself to previous conversations.

IE was different things to different people.

To developers, IE was the browser for which you had to spend hours debugging issues. Sounds like Safari to me. Considering you have to buy a whole device to use Safari, I’d argue it’s worse than IE was.
