That’s not how language works, people still use sounds and gesticulations not just words. If we lost the ability to speak we might abandon words entirely for something else.

Buzz, growl, etc are obvious example where sound directly influenced what the word was and how it’s written. But the ability for kids to form specific sounds also influenced words like mom. The same is true of world complexity, natural languages always have some imperatives like stop and go that are short and simple rather than long complex utterances like sesquipedalian.

Further, comparisons between languages suggest that words evolved from sounds. “No” for example sounds similar in a shocking number of languages from Afro-Eurasia and the America’s despite very long term separation.

This is ofuscatory, twice:

1. One could argue anything

2. presence of settlements is an indicator of political organisation, but political organisation is not a requirement for settlements

I swear to god, if shipping an entire renderer with every web page or all becomes the norm I will just ship WINE and a win32 executable instead of writing normal web pages.

There’s also the “if you ever pull the trigger in a situation where the safety keeps it from firing, you are doing something horribly wrong”. People often treat the safety as a “gun off” switch when it should never be considered that. I understand the Glock philosophy - no gun is “safe” until you’ve personally verified that there is no ammunition in it at all, and even then it should be treated as if it is loaded.

Relying on a safety to keep it “safe” is usually the first step in ventilation of the floor or ceiling.

Yup, but an unrealised gain is still a gain. A million dollar in shares or paintings or classic cars can be borrowed against, and you don't need to pay taxes on borrowing.

(And when you die, the capital gains base resets, which is the real travesty -- the heirs pay the loan with some of the capital at zero capital gains tax cost, and start borrowing again with the same strategy whenever they need to.)
My take is that if it is popular product, you can get one when it is released. No need to commit money early. And if you are ready to wait you probably even get it at discount for same price on some later sale.
I wish github and other code hosters made it easier to "just make a release".

Next to the "Download zip" button on github, they should add a "Download built .deb" and "Download built .exe" - and those buttons should work on any fork, branch, PR, etc. And they should add all the necessary build infrastructure to achieve that.

It turns out that at scale, build infrastructure is pretty cheap to run, since caching is so incredibly effective and there is only a need to rebuild a file once per (human) edit to a file or its dependencies.
Since this is a thread about spy novels, it’s worth pointing out that there is a Tom Clancy book from 1988 (right around the Gordievsky defection) that in retrospect is obviously inspired by the Able Archer/RYAN Gordievsky story, and describes the US and USSR narrowly averting a nuclear war due to a top-level leak from within the Kremlin. I don’t want to spoil it (it’s a silly fun read) but the ending of the novel is very, very different. Ever since I read The Spy and the Traitor I’ve wondered if Clancy was just enjoying a bit of dramatic license, or if he was subtly nodding to real barroom gossip he’d picked up from his contacts in DC. It tickles me to think that disgruntled folks in the IC might use fiction to say “we all know what you did” to their counterparts in Moscow, and I bet it would have tickled Clancy as well.

Graveyards very frequently need to be moved .. that's been part of the European tradition of christian burial for at least a thousand years .. with catacombs in major cities being resting places for bodies until the flesh melts away and bones are gathered and stacked .. occasionally made into 'artworks' in ossuaries.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedlec_Ossuary

Now, there's some spectacle.

Clearly(?) it's not in line with your specific value system that a chandelier of bones is a respectful treatment of soul less body parts.

I do get the impression that it is part of your belief system that others should abide by your mortuary practices and that you get upset if others don't behave in the manner you wish them too.

That seems worse than what is happening here in this story.

Still, at least you're not projecting the mortuary rites of the South Fore upon us all.
Impossible to enforce, maybe. Include a counter on each message, incremented by one locally if forwarded. Completely insecure against malicious clients, but the threat model doesn't feature malicious clients so it works well enough.
While it's probably not your point, I find it greatly heartening that these companies are sending such a strong message by leaving a big and valuable market. It doesn't really matter what their reason is... it could be:

a) They value privacy and don't want to comply.

b) They can't access the messages, and thus can't comply.

Either reason is fine. Am I missing something?
The way to spot these developers is everything is a request and a response. Anything involving a stream or pushing becomes radically difficult and will be smushed into the request/response framework.

So yeah, obviously they don't want to tell me what would be a valid request from my end.

As you can read in the various comments on here, that's also the model many WASM fans are going for.

Google Docs switched to rendering a full screen canvas rather than using the DOM, and Flutter/Compose do the exact same thing.

WASM is very much heading in the direction of owning a rectangle on the screen. Plus, Java and Flash embeds could also call Javascript callbacks while leveraging the improved performance of their native plugins.
I would hazard a guess that the survivability (and likely the reproductive fitness) of the private security professionals of these billionaires is at least as high.
OS 4.x runs on PowerPC processors, and there are a bunch of dedicated systems like the X1000, X5000 or SAM460EP. You can also run a "classic" OS 4.x version in emulators or on classic Amigas fitted with PowerPC accelerators. You could always snag a used Mac Mini PPC and run MorphOS on it for a similar experience; MorphOS is a sort of "off-shoot" from the Amiga family tree but has very active development including up to date browsers like https://wayfarer.icu.

Hyperion have also released updated and bug-fixed versions of "classic" AmigaOS, and you can purchase the ROM sets and disks for e.g. OS 3.2 to use with an original machine like your A500.

For HDMI output, I use an Indivision card. It's a little fiddly to fit (has to clip in over the top of some other chips) but gives a great stable and crystal-clear DVI or HDMI output. There are also external "flicker fixer" boxes or scandoublers that turn the Amiga 15KHz video output into something useable by modern displays, but in my experience they tend not to give as good quality output or have lag issues when playing games.

FrexxEd is beautiful, and scripted with C-like programming language (FPL), or Arexx, and it has fun features such as giving access to the buffers of your running instance via a filesystem, so you can e.g. call the compiler directly on your open buffers (a lot more useful on a limited RAM system with floppies, granted)
The government has the best ammo available: organization
Recently, many customers have experienced frustration of being contacted by their banks or financial institutions with the disheartening news that their credit card information has been compromised. Credit card fraud continues to be a recurring issue, posing significant challenges for businesses

The question is: How can we ensure that the online service providers, who accept and store our credit card information, take the necessary measures to safeguard it?

To address this pressing issue, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, and JCB united in 2006 to form the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC). This council was established to administer and manage security standards for companies dealing with credit card data. Before the PCI SSC's inception, these credit card companies maintained separate security standards programs, sharing similar requirements and objectives. In a remarkable collaboration, they merged their efforts under one standard policy, known as the PCI Data Security Standards (PCI DSS).
Based on my experience... yes!

In the end, the Irish government decided to bankroll the rollout of fiber to "commercially unviable" areas (under the guide of a National Broadband Scheme). That prompted one of the unsuccessful telcos to suddenly find ~ 300k of those homes commercially viable!

Trying to understand why some properties have been hooked up and others not is a fruitless exercise. During the COVID lockdown, I discovered that most churches (which had a strong interest in broadcasting masses to their congregations) has either been deemed commercially unviable or not indexed at all. Many hoops were jumped through.

Seth Godin tells something similar about writing of Issac Asimov[0]

" Isaac worked with me when I was 24 years old. He wrote and published 400 books. I was sitting in his living room in Lincoln Center in New York City, and I said, “Isaac” — being presumptuous — “how do you go about writing 400 books?” He said, “Here’s the secret.” He pointed to this old manual typewriter. He said, “Every morning, I sit in front of this typewriter at 7:00 am, and I type until noon. It doesn’t have to be good, but I have to keep typing.”

Using ChatGPT to Generate Adaptive SAT Mock Tests: Our Experiment
Hey HN, we've been working on an interesting experiment at EdisonOS that might pique your curiosity. We're in the edtech platform space, and our primary offering is an infrastructure that allows anyone to set up their own online education platform without a dev team.

But here's the kicker: we've recently been playing around with ChatGPT to generate Digital SAT questions. As you may know, the College Board announced that the 96 year test is going Digital (already live in the international market) and only provides a limited set of four official mock tests for Digital SAT prep. We saw this as an opportunity to experiment with Gen AIs to create additional, practice material. We used ChatGPT to generate questions based on the format and style of the official SAT mock tests. The results were surprisingly good. Not only did the questions resemble the actual SAT questions in complexity and structure, but they also allowed us to create an adaptive testing environment.

We've documented our experience in a blog post, including a link to the ChatGPT-generated mock test if you're interested in taking the test yourself.

I would love to hear your thoughts on the potential (and pitfalls) of using machine learning to augment Testprep.

I've built a web game called 'Totem Word' that aims to help people discover their 'core word'—a word that defines them at this moment. The game is built using Svelte and offers a unique, interactive experience.

The game is simple but thought-provoking. You start by entering 10 words that you feel define you. Then, through a series of choices, you narrow it down to just one word. This 'core word' can represent your current mood, goal, or even your essence.

Why did I build this?
I believe words have power. Identifying your core word can serve as a form of self-reflection, helping you understand yourself better. Plus, it's a fun, quick game that you can play anytime.
I’ve been thinking about this a lot.

Each one of those people had a name (and a life, and thousands of ancestors themselves).

While for many of my lines, I know the names to the 1600s and further.

> I'm sure encouraging audio enthusiasts to improve their critical listening skills is in Harman's interest [...]

I wonder if Harmon are so confident in their own products' superiority that they assume that a more educated audience will lead to a proportional increase in sales. Or perhaps they view education as important in its own right. (Given your point about this being the only publication of the software, perhaps neither!)

That Vice article and the pluralistic blog spam post don't understand what a Fudd is. A Fudd is a curmudgeonly, old fashioned gun owner who is judgmental about people owning modern firearms. They favor hunting and shotgun games over handguns and semiautomatic rifles. If they own handguns at all, think revolvers and 1911s instead of Glocks. Generally, Fudds tend to be very adamant about safe gun handling, often advocating for range rules that are overly restrictive like prohibiting aimed rapid fire. They're not the kind of people who point loaded handguns at their crotches to get a reaction out of people online.

The people who are pointing loaded guns at their crotches are mocking people who take the four rules of gun handling very seriously, including both Fudds and most "normal" gun owners. They're trolls that exist almost exclusively online. They don't make up anywhere near half of gun owners and they're unwelcome at pretty much any gun club or public range.

This worked surprisingly well in the communist countries. Look at China and Russia. There has never been a black market where distributors go rich. Never once.
I think that impression you mention about the banners being mostly for spyware trash is no longer the case. If next to every site you visit does the same thing, then it feels normal rather than giving a hint something nefarious is going on. The Google and YouTube websites have banners (at least when you visit for the first time/are in private browsing or incognito mode), and lots and lots of people use those everyday.

If next to every site does it, most people will think there's nothing unusual.
Making a .deb isn't as simple as it might seem. If you want to use shared libraries, especially so. Which version of Ubuntu/Debian/Mint/... whatever are you targetting? You can tools like FPM[1] (which is awesome btw, used it for some great hacks in the past), but that won't make you .debs that are necessarily done to the debian guidelines but usable.

There are a load os SaaS companies that do that allow you to make multiple targets though, so perhaps some integrations there would work.
