Thanks for clarifying to rbanffy about emulating the printer; you beat me to it.

I watched the Meatloaf videos; thank you. Does this mean that FujiNet hardware for the C64 will connect to both the serial and user ports? If so that would solve both the backward compatibility and throughput issues, at the cost of more hardware (but understandably so, given the C64's hardware).

PS - What is the upper throughput limit on the Commodore serial bus? I know it's a serial version of IEEE-488, but I assumed that the upper limit is lower than what is required for modem access. But now that I think about it, the throughput for disk access (even if brokenly slow by default) must be much higher than that of contemporary modems, right? To put another way, is there anything—whether throughput, or signaling/traffic—inherently preventing modems on the serial port à la SIO?
And who has extra weeks that aren't students?

The pilot's method to avoid jetlag every time
We have seen many languages cycle in popularity, but Julia is one of the few high-level languages that could actually match... or in some cases exceed C/C++ performance.

There are always tradeoffs, and it usually takes a few weeks for people to come to terms with why Julia is unique.

Definitely falls into the fun category. =)

If you use their cdn instead of putting them on your own server sure. There is an Austrian ruling that this is a violation of the GDPR, so you might not wanna do it anyways.

For the ultra paranoid font files are to be avoided because fonts raise the complexity and thus the attack surface — I can't imagine an attacker couldn't use a malicous font or a zero-day in the font rendering engine to exploit a client.
This is not demonstrably true. The board could be wrong, and Dave could be right, about the future trajectory of the company.
Houses have gotten bigger though, it's not just people drywalling their basements...

I live in Texas where they don't build houses with basements because the soil won't support it. First place I lived was a typical working class family home built in the 1940s: 2 bed, 1 bath, kitchen, living room, laundry room - 1100 square feet total.

Meanwhile most new construction homes here are over 2000 square foot.
Oh, yeah, it's magic!

Let's just forget that people had a pretty good idea on how far one could push the semiconductors industry since a few years after the transistor was invented. Let's not look at the physical possibilities at all, because in what way could that help?

I really think you are trying to say that people will have to work hard to gain the battery improvements. But, yeah, of course they will. Nobody on the entire thread said those gains will be free. What I simply don't understand is why you insist the process of optimizing batteries will stop orders of magnitude away from the optimum, without any reasoning behind it.

> They're having eight kids per woman in the majority of Africa.

First off, that's not true. The mean fertility in Africa is 4.2, not 8 or anything like it (8 may be the case in some areas, but not the "majority").

Secondly, China, India, and even Europe and the United States had very high fertility rates in the past.

Now they don't.
Huge respect for making that work in the first place! Would love to hear some kind of retrospective about what wa involved in that - I'm super curious.

I would love to keep using them, but looking at my current tax year, I want to file a specific state form that they do not support. For estimated taxes calculated by annualized income installment method because my income is tilted towards the end of the year. I haven't paid any estimated taxes for the first two quarters, and without this I'd have underpayment fees.

I did ask them about this two years ago, so if they don't add it for 2023, I'll have to look into other options.
That'd be because I don't live in the US.

I understand that the metabolic syndrome is the actual problem, not insulin resistance (although it may be part of the syndrome). Moreover, physiological (not pathological) insulin resistance should be reversed within few days.

Nonetheless, I found it easy to find studies showing the exact opposite. So I think the situation is not so clear-cut as you write.

It amuses me a little - the Ea-nāṣir tablet is pretty well known online but in the British Museum it's just in a case alongside a couple other tablets. If you didn't know what you were looking for you wouldn't notice it.
It seems like everyone thinks that wearing masks is only to protect themselves from other people, and completely forgot (or never learned in the first place) that it's actually arguably even more important to wear a mask to protect others from your own cold, whether it's COVID or not.

This is something I really love about Japan and Korea. People are very considerate about not spreading their germs around in public places, by wearing a mask when they're sick.

It really feels like the rest of the world missed that part of the memo, even though we all wore masks for an entire pandemic. It actually boggles my mind.
They were one of the darlings of Covid crisis period, portrayed as someone who would fix all the supply chain problems that occurred back in 2020-21. Their founder even made it to the times cover page, he was person of the year I think.

I guess it all was a temporary blip, as the incumbents got their act together the new entrants found out the reality, and then the rate hikes made it all worse.
It means their name matches someone else's name on a US government watch list, or that they are considered a terrorist or are sanctioned. The Middle East has a large number of these individuals, as does Russia, and North Korea.
A good investment pays shareholders because it increased the future returns and thus the current stock price. A company paying dividends or buying back shares is basically saying we have no better way to invest this money. If they had a better way - they should - and shareholders do benefit more.
If catching covid multiple times breaks the human immune system, then humanity is screwed. Anyone who lives a non hermitic existence is inevitably getting it multiple times.

I know you think masks are no big deal, and they're not if used temporarily, but long term they're a huge deal for huge swaths of people. I'm an introvert and I'd be delighted to never socialize in person ever again, but I understand most aren't built that way.
Those use cases are inherently evil, and the rest of us should go out of our way to make them impossible, or at least as difficult as possible.

What is a flat-rate restaurant tip? A specific amount regardless of the bill? Or fixed percentage? And how does the server know it's a "flat rate" regardless of the effort they put into serving you?
This entirely depends on how common rescinded/delayed offers are. We're seeing a general normalization of the following behaviors at major tech employers.

- Rescinded offers
- Delayed start dates

Unfortunately, people's ability to maintain professional behaviors is entirely dependent on those behaviors working out. When Visas and other critical life factors are on the table, you can't blame someone for being protective.

These days, I'm always scared when I hear a product I use is getting an upgrade.

Usually it means large teams of designers have to be seen doing something and are constantly redesigning things and inventing paradigm no one asked about.

In this case though, the new design is a step forward. I always found the previous version significantly worse than the original. Those panels that tease you about what you have like a shopping cart was annoying. It seems now it's more of a conscious side panel I can dismiss and nail to the side(?)

I like swipping down like crazy and instantly seeing fonts I've never seen before. It's fast, responsive and fun!

The new navigation is definitely better.
If anyone is interested in compiling small binaries with Julia do check out staticcompiler.jl and supporting statictools.jl that manages to produce small binaries without the Julia runtime ,

All the developers tayloring their applications to chrome has its inpact for sure. But in daily use you will also find cases where Chrome is slow and clunky and Firefox fast and smooth.

In the end my (very subjuctive) judgement is that the performance difference in daily use doesn't outweigh the benefits of not using the browser of the monopolist that makes their money with data collection.

That doesn't mean I don't use the browser or it's engine in other ways tho.

Wait what? This is what i was doing right now. It defines a local compile time constant and hence is an important mean to express an abstract concept.
You could use a macro, but we are told to get rid of them. And a local const variable is an entirely different thing.

QWERTY Learner: Learn English words and train muscle memory for keyboard workers
For people with English as a second language, even if they know a lot of vocabulary, they might be unable to type these words quickly. We developed this free web app, which enables people to practice typing with vocabulary lists. The web app can also provide pronunciation and definitions. Therefore, it suits people who frequently input English and want to memorize vocabulary.

Yep, I was aware of StaticCompiler.jl. I wish it was more mature.

Static compilation is indeed possible with Julia. But it's very limited in its capabilities and certainly not as effortless as a simple `mojo build myfile.mojo`.
Try using "AskHN: " or "ShowHN: " to get more appropriate traction.

Use a more mainstream Python naming scheme. I expect "Parser" to be a class name, not a function name. Most Python code uses underscore_names rather than camelCase.

Use subprocess.run() or subprocess.check_output() instead of writing your own variant using a pipe. You are supposed to wait on the process before closing, though garbage collection does that for you here.

Avoid the extra overhead of "shell=True" since you can just write ["prog", "opt"] or "prog opt".split().

Consider using subclasses like MacPlatform, LinuxPlatform, and BSDPlatform so you don't need the "if self.platform" in each method.

This would also make your methods smaller and more focused.

A downside is it's harder to re-use implementations for different classes. I generally use a mixin for that, for example, "_uname_m" might implement arch() for those OSes,

class _uname_m:
def arch(self): return subprocess.run(["uname", "-m"])

class MacPlatform(_uname_m, Platform):
...

You may consider hard-coding path names like /usr/bin/arch for the OS, to prevent path issues.

This:

if arches[arch] != arch:
return arches[arch]
return arch

can be replaced with

arches.get(arch, arch)

A related package is https://github.com/workhorsy/py-cpuinfo . You might look at it to see how they organize platform differences.
It sounds like the advantage is that can repeat the process storing CO2 underground. It sounds like a weird way to store CO2, like they are trying to do the same thing as direct capture. When storing underground was one of the big flaws with direct capture.

But I would think it would be an advantage to dump the crushed olivine in the ocean where it would be sequestered for a long time. It isn't like trees where have to worry about the CO2 being released from fire or decay.

My understanding from talking to multiple people at SpaceX is that Elon isn't really involved there. He shows up and says "do stuff" and they say "yes Elon" and then just do what they were doing anyway.

Besides, it seems like most of his focus is on Twitter these days, which is clearly circling the drain.

I think this is a narrow and old-school view of investing. Generally when a company invests cash flow into R&D it increases the stock price (as the market prices in the future fruits of that R&D). Many investors prefer price appreciation to dividends for tax reasons. If the stock doesn't go up, that's a signal to the company that investors do not want or do not believe that R&D.

You can start with mine, I've mostly stripped all the telemetry, added DoQ DNS (please, don't use my NextDNS id :D otherwise it's going to eat the free 300k limit), lots extra DNS/HTTP/rendering performance tweaks, some security fixes (e.g. deprecated ciphers) without performance penalties and personal Firefox's quality of life changes (smaller delays, ability to save everything, tracker stripping, etc). Some configs like the already mentioned Arkenfox's take security to a next level with first party cookies only, sandboxing and etc, it might be too overwhelming and not actually that necessary.

Never been a woman, but I've been an older programmer for about 20 years now, so I can only speak to the kinds of things I've faced. Yeah, anecdotes are not evidence, yada-yada, take my words for what they are worth.

Programmers are not just expensive, they are damn expensive, and that goes double for experienced programmers. If you have to lay off programmers, would you rather lay off 1 older programmer, or 2 younger programmers?

So how is an older programmer supposed to demonstrate that his experience justifies his higher salary? We've talked in other threads about how hard it is to measure programmer productivity. It takes a very talented management chain to make the right call. But any idiot can compare two salaries and see which one is the largest.

If you are in this biz long enough, you are going to find yourself trying to explain to a manager with 5 years experience what it took you 20 years of hard experience to learn, and they are just not going to get it.
