If you've seen it first hand, then fair enough. It just doesn't agree with the consensus I have seen online, so I find that confusing.

As I've said previously, I have the most basic laser printer at home, and rarely use it. I just happen to have done a ton of research into printers lately because I've thought about getting a photo printer, and I really like what the ET-8550 has to offer. But, for the time being, I've decided I probably wouldn't use it enough.
Near as I can tell, the best that's available is starting with the class(es) you want (e.g., https://id.loc.gov/authorities/classification/H.html for social sciences) and crawling recursively to grab whatever serialization of the RDF you want to consume. There's no SPARQL endpoint for id.loc.gov, alas, but it beats resorting to the PDFs.

Ask HN: Succession Planning in Libre/FOSS
Hi HN,

What is the future of Libre/FOSS after heavy weights like Torvalds, Stallman etc. retire?

I care a lot about libre/FOSS and I'm wondering what happens after such important figures retire? How do we as a community keep it going?

Sorry if this is an old question, I'm relatively new to Libre/FOSS
What are your major road blocks to making money right now?
They did, and the people of the PNW specifically worked drift iron. The wiki page on precolumbian metallurgy is worth reading through, because the true extent of metalworking was fairly widespread [0].

In most cases, stone was preferred to metals because it was abundant, sharper, and cheaper, much as we use iron extensively today despite Aluminum and Titanium alloys being better in many respects. The areas that did work metal heavily (e.g. west Mexico, the triple alliance, Ecuador) typically used it for ceremonial objects and small domestic tools like needles.

"what would it take to change your mind"?
I launched into a misdirected diatribe that really was an attack on the concept that any historical evidence is sufficient in itself to change anyone's mind. That is, I thought to argue that one's view of these kinds of evidences amount to personal interpretations of the historical artifacts emerging from one's world-view, after we place them into an incomplete model of some sort, itself a product of one's world-view. I unfortunately (or fortunately as I appreciate your response), hijacked your contribution to vent on.
Attempting to salvage some of what I clumsily said initially, I might better state as a question; Is merely engaging in "my references are better than your references" argumentation an entirely honest approach, in that it (imho intentionally) ignores the bigger, weightier, more personal foundation, rarely transparently discussed; Which is, what is our view/belief of the nature of reality? These views/beliefs, in my opinion, are the filter we all use in choosing our "references". Are any of us truly objective? Do we even believe we should be?
Arguments that satisfy one person fail to satisfy another just as intelligent person. And what about persons not so intelligent, and whose minds are convinced by other considerations? Should they/we really be at the mercy of the prevailing pronouncements of the intelligentsia in vogue today? That's why I don't place my faith in the "science" or some worldly authority figure, who I know, put their pants on the same as I, and reside somewhere on a spectrum of non-objectivity, just as I. But then, why am I even butting in again (I drank too much coffee!)?? The original question wasn't directed at me, a believer, but to an unbeliever.
Making Linux stuff invisible isn't what fixes it and prepares it for end consumer usage, though. If you get rid of the Linux terminal, and still have many under-the-hood and polish issues that the user could only fix if they had a terminal, you have a bad product.
Elementary is a non-starter because even if it resembles macOS aesthetically, it’s more like GNOME or iPadOS in how it eschews a proper menubar in favor of hamburger menus or removing functions that don’t fit in the toolbar altogether. It’s also missing number of other power user oriented features like a GUI for modifier key and per-app key shortcut remapping.

Mint/Cinnamon are nice but I think its ties to GTK+ and various GNOME components are a liability.
Whilst I understand the distrust of LTT, this user has posted a link yo a video demoing the display, and the downvotes aren't really useful here.

Yeah, now I definitely have questions about your character.
You don't want to defeat them, you want people to stop complaining and accept AI with open arms. You don't even understand why anyone would think AI needs to be defeated, or why anyone would even care. That you seem to believe my comments are just about pride and ego and "protecting titles" suggests you either can't comprehend the nature of the arguments being made against AI, or refuse to.

Fine. Don't say you weren't warned, though.
I turned them off. Can't remember how. You might be able to.
This is a review of a new biography of Werner Von Braun, Depravity’s Rainbow. by Lewis Bush.

The article does not mention the acclaimed big biography, Von Braun: Dreamer of Space, Engineer of War by Michael J Neufeld, from 2007. That book also takes a very critical look at Von Braun's Nazi past.

Everyone, who see possible interference from microwave, should ask nearest service and make checks, as this could be manufacturer defect or just leakage of old insulation (rust under paint), and it could be dangerous for health.

PS and yes, my friend once found rust hole in old microwave, so this is not very rare thing.

I saw a quote on here awhile back. Not sure from where or who said it originally.

It was exactly what you realized. We would have intergalactic space travel and von neumann probes by now if it wasn't for software. Materials science, energy production, construction - all solved problems. We just don't have the computer engineering skills to make it all work.

I think this also touches on another thing I've always felt about software engineering - we are not a professional field. I have seen programmers complain about having to read the documentation for their tools or that they have to go fix 100 instances of some issue. Contrast this to an engineer on a skyscraper for example - you would never hear "you cant expect me to go re-torque all 1000 bolts! its not my fault the spec sheet put that information 3/4ths into the manual. i didnt get that far!" - but this is exactly how I've seen people treat computer engineering.
Yep. However some new varieties, such as Sugarbelle Oranges are an are resistant to Citrus Greening and have won some taste tests.
Yep. No one should care what generative AI can produce, much as we shouldn't require airnail manufacturers to be responsible for how how people use or misuse their products. If DALL-E were used to make neo-Nazi posters or to promote an insurrection, the responsibility lies with the causive person(s), not with the tools they happened to use, i.e., their internet provider, Adobe Photoshop, or OpenAI. Even in the extreme cases of generative deepfake porn of real people for profit or generative child-abuse, criminal and civil responsibility lies with the human(s) who orchestrated it.

The restriction on cellular phone use on a plane comes from the FCC not FAA.

As far as the FAA is concerned as long as you can demonstrate (through standard tests) that a class of aircraft is tolerant of electronic devices (which the manufacturers can do), it’s up to the airline if they want to allow it. They’ve even greatly simplified the process due to the explosion of different electronic devices over the last couple decades. This covers your cell phone in the same way it does an e reader or anything else. [0] There are basically no substantiated instances of portable electronics interfering with aircraft. Certainly not the number you’d expect given the massive number of devices that transit on a massive number of planes every day at this point.

The restriction on usage comes from the FCC, applies specifically to using land mobile frequencies from aircraft, and is not out of concern for safety of the aircraft.

Things getting up into VHF, UHF and above are “line of sight” propagation. If you can draw a straight line between two points without hitting anything that will attenuate the signal… it’ll pretty much go anywhere. Voyager 1 is transmitting 15 billion miles to us on 8GHz with a 23 watt radio. Your cell phone can put out around 3 watts. People called in to ham radio nets in Vancouver, BC from Seattle, WA on a 5W handheld radio just by going to the top of the Space Needle. People regularly make contact with the ISS or satellites on similar power. A large limiting factor to the distance is the height of the transmitter. Thanks to the curvature of the Earth, over enough distance, that straight line between the two points will begin to intersect the Earth which works great to attenuate the signals to nothing. Getting higher up lets you "shout" further out.

Your cell phone transmitting at 3 watts from that kind of altitude is potentially hitting dozens or hundreds of cell towers. Frequencies which are intended to be shared among inhabitatants in a maybe dozen mile radius now need to be shared across hundreds of miles, reducing the bandwidth available for everyone. And the weak signal will cause interference substantially further.

The FCC limited transmissions while on an aircraft to prevent interference with ground communications, and continues to because there isn’t enough evidence that they won’t.

Scott says in the paper:

Even if we supposed that, for every n, there was some reasonable
extension of ZF set theory that was powerful enough to settle the
value of BB(n) — even so, there could be no systematic way to find
those extensions.

It's essentially true that we (humans) cannot rely on varying our axioms indefinitely because we'd have to perform the incalculable search. I think what you're saying though is something like, the theory is already pretty interesting for low N, maybe we can eke it out.

It's definitely an interesting way to frame things. But imo the halting-problem insights still seem more naturally applicable to typical related issues in computer science and engineering. How do you prefer BB(n), when does it ever come up? Honestly curious. Appreciated the link.
And now my new microwave actually has Wi-Fi built-in, we've come full circle.

Responding to the strongest plausible interpretation of what you said, as per the guidelines at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html, it looks like you'd have to use something more mainstream (BTC/ETH/USDT) as the intermediary as https://flooz.xyz/trade won't convert Flooz directly to Solana. Getting money in and out of the Solana ecosystem is part of being able to do micropayments. USD to Solana (and back) is supported by Coinbase, however. My main point is that the code to make it so that scrolling down the article you're reading sends sub-cent amounts to the author is actually possible with today's technology, whereas it wasn't back in the 90's.
You’re obsessed with the word narrative. It is not a magic word.

And there is no such thing as an objective position.
Every word in that definition seems to fit, no?
It’s $75 Billion not $75 million.

The debt has grown so high now that 15% of all US government revenues go towards interest on the debt. Up from 7% when I was in college. How high does the debt have to grow before the country and government collapse?

I am on desktop. There is a button that says 'Get'. When I click on it, I get prompted to 'Install the app on your device'. Which just sends me to the home page?

I just check on mobile, same thing. How is visiting a website's homepage 'installing the app on my device?'

I think some people might be turned off by the word Installing, when you're just visiting a website?

The word Get seems misleading, because you are not 'getting' anything. If anything Visit might be more appropriate.

What am I missing?

I think the RoR story is quite amazing. A pipedream framework, that pulled people into a conversation about just how efficient we were as engineers using it, without types, when Java reigned supreme. And slowly but consistently just improved over time. From ActiveRecord and then moving on to merging with a competitor to create pretty much the best ORM on the market (IMO). Going from starting a web project is hard to starting a web project is trivial. They sparked the entire idea of convention over configuration. Rails magic was a literal talking point that nobody could define.

It was a wild and wonderful time.

If all you do is browse (default) home or all, then sure, it's just a stupid echo chamber obsessed with hating the things its cool to hate. That's not where the value is on reddit, and it's not what people are referring to when they say the search reddit for answers. If you're looking for product reviews, it's not perfect but it's tough to find anywhere better unless you happen to know of exactly the right hidden gem of a forum to visit for your particular subtopic (and the link to that hidden gem of a forum is probably easier to find on the relevant subreddit than it is on google).
It seems parent’s difference is work-for-hire with a business function and defined deliverable is not creator work.

These kinds of bugs are common with all consumer electronics since they "went digital" though, basically anything 1999+. The market is so saturated with blatantly broken products like this that you seem like a freak just to complain about it. Just littered with shit design mainly caused by duct taping components together and letting the outcome of that be the design. The solution is for consumers to get a brain and stop wasting it on overcomplicated nonsense like some autoconfiguration crap based on XML that never works except for someone who so happens to have 5 hours of experience with that protocol. Just return bullshit like this. I always do, I decide to return most of my electronics within 5 minutes of first turning it on.
Brands like Brother, Epson are far more preferable to HP, etc in the multi function printer category for many reasons.
