The history of this building in the 70s and 80s puts the official paranoia behind phreaking and hacking in more context. When you see that this building is as much a key symbol that represents power as it is a single fully functional and modular switching machine - and where it stands in the middle of the center of the world economy and american supremacy - to hack what this indestructable concrete obelisk represented was a real threat to the projection of power.

If The Phone Company was vulnerable to some rogue geniuses, everything else was up for grabs.
Yea, but I think that is a response to google not allowing / strongly encouraging android kernel patches into mainline. This is a huge difference than the previous model where there were forked versions of the system tied to a kernel version.

This talk is a great overview of where things are going...

Is it a breaking change to not support an old compiler when the new compiler is the same major as the old one was? Transitive dependency upgrades that bump minor don't trigger major version bumps in downstream users. Why should compilers be different?

This is my approach and I generally enjoy nice products until I don’t: buy secondhand on eBay/CraigsList and sell it when/if I don’t need it anymore. The only problem is I notice I don’t feel a sense of “ownership” for most items I buy, it’s not really mine I’m just renting it until I sell it. I think this is largely fine, there are some items I intend to own forever (some film cameras and pens, couple tools) but I wonder if I’m using some of these products differently because I’d this mentality.
Oh p'schaw, you are the troll. Copy CON: can create an empty file, you just don't know how to do it.

An 'empty program' such as a zero-byte .COM file created with COPY CON: is loaded into memory by DOS, and thus attackable by any virus set up with the suitable vector to do so.

5.25" was supposed to be typed 5¼", duh.

Unexpected disk activity when the machine is idle would mean the virus also hooks the timer interrupt and does stuff in the background, instead of (or in addition to) infecting programs you actively run. Implementing that on an OS not designed for multitasking is certainly possible, but would take quite a bit more than 100 bytes of code.

False. Read more virus code.

I don't care for your conclusions, which are merely fallacious and ill-intentioned. The machine exists, as does the virus, and it'll be in a museum in a month or so, folks will play with it. That's all that matters to me. Your faith in your own knowledge doesn't impress me.

I say this as someone that loved the Newton. The Newton was a millstone for Apple at the time. Just like printers, scanners, and cameras.

The Newton had several problems. The first it was intended to be an entirely new platform distinct from the Mac. There was zero overlap between the runtime environments of the two platforms. Nothing you made on a Mac was ever going to run on a Newton. This would stretch already thin third party developers even thinner.

The second major problem is it had cheaper competition with a better market fit in the form of Palm. A Palm Pilot was half the price of a MessagePad and did most of the same tasks. It also actually fit in a pocket which meant it could be carried around and used as intended.

A third problem was its OS was an older model lacking memory protection and preemption. By 1997 it was clear that multitasking protected memory OSes were the future if for no other reason increased stability in day to day operations. Rebuilding the NewtonOS with those features would be a major project.

The MessagePads were bulky and expensive. They were too big to fit in a pocket meaning the only way to carry them was a bespoke case or a briefcase. They weren't that capable so a true road warrior worker was just going to get a laptop. Their target market was John Sculley, executives that didn't want to tote around even bulkier laptops.

The Newton didn't make a lot of sense as a product and killing it off with the rest of the Apple peripherals made complete business sense.

> unless "nutriscore" is a private 3rd party score

The advantage of 3rd party evaluation is that when you don't like the score they gave you, you can easily create your own "independent" evaluation company that will rate all your products A+. At the end of the day, every product of every major company will be A+, each rated by a different evaluator.

GPT-4 agrees with you and I:

Q: Is common for English speakers using colloquial English to refer to fish as animals? They technically are animals, but people don't often refer to fish as animals in every day speech. Is this correct?

A: In colloquial English, people often categorize living organisms in ways that may not align perfectly with scientific classifications. For example, many people might refer to "animals" as creatures that are mammals, birds, or reptiles, but might not immediately include fish in that category during casual conversation. This is despite the fact that, scientifically speaking, fish are indeed animals.

In everyday speech, people might say things like "I saw some animals and fish on my hike," separating fish from what they casually refer to as "animals." This is similar to how people might separate "birds" or "insects" from "animals" in casual conversation, even though both birds and insects are technically animals as well.

So, while it's scientifically accurate to refer to fish as animals, colloquial usage often makes distinctions that aren't scientifically rigorous. This is a feature of everyday language, which is shaped more by cultural norms and common understanding than by scientific taxonomy.

Sugar is a subset of carbohydrates which is a macronutrient. But you don't need sugar specifically if you want carbs and in fact it is a bad carbo alternative unless you are doing some vigorous activity and need a little boost.

Personally though I eat a lot of it myself. Ideally I would only get maybe 15 grams of sugar a day, tops.

Show HN: Conway's Game of Chess
Chess, but each square also follows the rules of Conway's Game of Life.

Only your own pieces count as neighbours when deciding births/deaths.

For births, an empty square must have 3 neighbours for 2 consecutive turns.

For deaths, a piece must have <2 or >3 neighbours for 3 consecutive turns.

This is a simple proof of concept I made with python and curses.

You can play with a friend locally or over a socket connection.

Controls: Arrow keys to move the cursor, enter/space to select and move a piece, u or backspace to undo a move, r to redo a move, q or escape to quit, s to perform a move with stockfish if installed (useless since it has no knowledge of this variant), any other key to unselect a currently selected piece.

I can't copy/paste because the stupid paywall popup, but it says Twitter has complied with German hate-speech requests. I'm not sure how many requests Twitter complied with before Musk. I'm sure with their relationship with government agencies, it was more than I would prefer.

Of course the original complaint of Twitter/X from the Twitter files was that they were suppressing speech sometimes due to government coercion, not that they were providing government with data, particularly with a warrant.

This is taking the argument to extreme limits, you have to admit? I'm aware of no widespread instances of people self-reporting craving more oxygen than they need to function. There's probably a reason why there isn't an equally prevalent term like "sweet tooth" for many of the other daily required nutrients. It's probably because there aren't that many nutrients that illict an addiction that causes excessive consumption of said nutrient in a single day.

I wouldn't say this is unique to Mathematica e.g. it strongly resembles string streams in C++ or the canvas context in HTML/JS or terminal sequences or many others. They aren't truly arguments in the normal sense, it's a more a single argument which is list of commands where "now draw this shape" is one possibility for a command.
Consistency would be using parentheses for all cases of sizeof, because people without 10 years of experience can pick it up.
Put another way, wouldn't it have made more sense, social-benefit-wise, to encourage everyone to be nurses, doctors, teachers, or members of another profession that provides direct benefits to humanity? Or flautist or waitstaff or any thing else that benefits people too?

It really was to put the prices down and benefit themselves, not to benefit humanity overall. They would never encourage people to learn mental health providing, physical therapy, exercises for their own health, they don't actually care about those.

The problem isn’t checking the computer’s output.

It is that the law would need to encode all the stuff I said, so it would need to be nuanced enough to replace all engineering, leadership and administration roles. (And also anything involving ethics.)

> It's not non-violent if it's causing harm.

Oh man… that’s a slippery slope.

Allows you to justify using force against all sorts of non-violent things you don’t like.

See the many examples where aggressive force was used “for the greater good” in the 20th century if you want some spoilers for how that turns out.
By the way, there is no particular reason why the computer field had to go in this direction. If you look at the history of aviation, there were a lot of kit airplanes in the 1920s and 1930s because people thought that over time more and more people were going to want to own an airplane. That turned out to be wrong. Most people are content to pay somebody else to transport them.

Of course this being an old-school game, they specifically disable the load/save feature as soon as you go into the puzzle room.

Not sure if all this matters - at the end of the day, resumes are just a filtering mechanism, and then most startups/companies should set up 15-minute screeners and also do work assessments before hiring.

Maybe not for lawyers, no. But as a citizen I'm expected to comply with the law, with many many laws. It'd actually be nice if law was slightly more formally verifiable, so it would be easier for me to understand what to comply with.

Being able to break down clauses into more logical normal forms would probably greatly enhance the possibility of compliance.

I found this an interesting look into The US Forestry service's philosophy of road management through the lens of Washington State's Olympic National Forest.

"The Forest Service – a branch of the Department of Agriculture whose original purpose was to “furnish a continuous supply of timber for the use and necessities of the people of the United States” – classifies their roads into five buckets based on their method of construction and maintenance needs. And the agency seems to be highly tuned to the lifecycle of their road infrastructure..."

The worst resume forms are those from Workday, I run from them like the plague. You will probably need a new email to create an account for each job application. And if you get the job, you'll have to deal with their unbearable UX where nothing can be reached directly, but needs you to dive in a menu to a page that requires clicking a box to a link to a page with a small grid view. What were they thinking!?

> A fundamental issue is overlooked here. The US was established as a free market country.

The playbook for a succesful free market economy is to use protectionism at home and (if applicable: if the state can be called imperialistic) impose free market principles on subject nations so that domestic corporations can exploit them.

Look at South Korea for an example of a country that was built with protectionist capitalism.

> People of all backgrounds thrive in a free market economy.

Look at the Gini coefficient of the US.

> The proof of that is many countries have switched to free markets, and promptly started thriving.

Not Russia.

> Countries with unfree economies, like South American ones, do poorly. Chile seems to go back and forth between free markets and socialism, with the consequential ups and downs of its economy.

Chile had a coup in 1973 which removed the social democratic leader from power and installed a neoliberal government. Neoliberalism is the modern free market incarnation. Why didn't they thrive?
The courts have to evaluate what they think the law's drafters meant: Yeah, it says this, but it's obvious the legislators didn't mean for it to be read that way. It'd be nice if there were footnotes that expounded on what the authors were trying to accomplish to help courts interpret the laws.

I'd argue more things are easier to do than ever, yet making them distributable has narrowed. Before you could ship floppies from your garage, partner with a publisher, shareware, or sell to local shops. Now you have to pay gatekeepers, or train users to do dangerous things.
