It was not spectacular for a while according to musicians who sell there, and decision to sell out was just icing. Will there be a good faith player in this niche for once?

They can start with virtual dolls (MMD) right now, except gpt has no idea how to move a body, virtual or not.
Am I wrong to assume that Tor is effectively a US government project at this point? It may allow people to bypass local internet controls (in some cases including government-imposed internet controls), but I would assume it is not truly anonymous.
It would be interesting to see how does ring attention technique affect this. This maybe still valid for cost reasons, but unlimited context is like in-memory computing vs. traditional.

Apple's switch away from the physical home button to gestures has created a usability threshold for the iPhone that many can't cross.

Intricate gestures are difficult to grok for some, and difficult to perform for others. Try using an iPhone and closing an app with shaky hands.

Currently the iPhone SE still has a physical button, but I'm worried what device I'll start recommending to older/less tech savvy people when that goes away.

iOS itself is a bit of a disaster zone too now. I see people constantly get stuck having activated the "press to edit your lock screen" by mistake, or getting confused by a constant stream of ads for iCloud, Apple Arcade etc.

It's sad because most of this poor UX is unnecessary. It feels like its origins are in Apple no longer caring, combined with running out of real ideas and getting distracted with things like widgets.
This is the whole thing
Evey time BSD news gets posted, I always come in the comments looking for reasons to switch from Linux. There is consistently high praise accompanied by not so minor grips that make me stick with Linux.

Anyone got a strong, concise argument for or against BSD over Linux for desktop use?
That may be a generational thing. There are "VR natives". See Phia's Virtual Reality Show.[1] There was a time when people didn't walk around with little screens in their hand. There was a time when only women used keyboards.

It's worth noting Bandcamp was sold to Songtradr last month: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37695035

This doesn't seem like a good thing to me, as a user.
Then why does it do so well on all the reasoning benchmarks?
No, I'm not confusing the two. The news says record temps for my state, ever recorded, and I'm saying I remember plenty of days growing up in the same exact area where it was much hotter than the "record days" being reported as the hottest days every recorded here. Wtf is up with downvotes. I wasn't trolling and I know full well that climate change is different than local weather. My comment was only talking about local weather being reported as the hottest days in MY area and me saying that's BS, because it literally is BS. It had nothing to do with global climate and I never said it did. You guys are the ones misreading what I said then trying to say I don't know the difference. Let's break it down

> Where I’m at they kept saying we were setting records for hottest days ever recorded, and we never broke 90. I remember being a kid and teenager living in the same area and we had many summer days hit triple digits. This was a mild summer for my area, yet it keeps being reported as record breaking high temps and that’s just simply not true

LOCAL

> This was a mild summer for my area, yet it keeps being reported as record breaking high temps and that’s just simply not true

LOCAL

Please go fight your strawman somewhere else, I'm not denying climate change, I was saying localy they report this summer has had the hottest days LOCALLY ever recorded, and that isn't true because LOCALLY 15 years ago we had 103 days and this summer LOCALLY we never hit 90. Local lie about local temps.
> big data and ML

Became a big thing after Amazon predicting someone is pregnant before they know it, hype died off after actual implementations predicted that people drink coffee in the morning.

The hype died but those with actual use cases are using it.

> blockchain

Became a big thing after it made crypto millionaires, died off after people figured out that it doesn't help with anything other than gambling and illegal operations because its not better at anything that has an established legal infrastructure

The hype died but people still need the gambling and hope to be rich on the next hype cycle by jumping on something like NFTs.

> autonomous cars

Tesla, although never delivered the thing they promise, it was able to propel them to the top as a car company. Now Tesla is a serious brand.

Mercedes actually delivered autonomous driving car you can purchase and others actually were able to offer self driving taxi services but nobody seems to care that much. For some reason, Musk won this one without actually delivering it.
There is tremendous consolidation among global corporations. Look at their boards. The vast majority are Ivy League-educated and/or come from generational wealth.

Same schools, same boards, same vacation spots, same parties, etc. Same ideas about how the world works. The class delineation is quite clear. Yes, there is a lot of variation and rising "counter-elites", but why exactly should we ignore the elephant in the room?
My upfromt cost is still higher, and the wall cannot be less than 1 brick thick so I cant use fewer bricks. Maybe I am a construction company and someone else gets the befits of better insulation, or maybe fuel costs went up, you have to isolate discussion to the item itself.

I also createda GmbH in germany and i tell you a thing: I don't care to optimize every single shit for the optimum. If i would, i would go to USA and accept that the social scissor is so crazy wide that not every USA citizen can't just go to a dentist.

Yes, however the website is still inherently secure outside of those scenarios.

If you were visit that page on an network that is not MiTM the website is still secure. There is no requirement for SSL.

The scenarios you listed can even make HTTPS insecure.

I love stack overflow, however I also hate it. I have asked some, I thought very reasonable question on there, and they got shot down and removed. The elitism, in this day & age of nearly infinite search and data storage capabilities makes me not feel all that sorry for them though. I do hate that we are doomed to AI generated trash answers on google now for at least a decade though.
People will eventually learn how to LLM-optimize their documentation so that questions can be readily answered using it.

We might get to the stage where the ability of LLMs to write code / answer questions for a library becomes the primary driver of adoption.
Several possible scopes for this database:

1. Foundational - Able to bedrock any other knowledge

2. Comprehensive Civilization - Cover continuation of current society, rebuild info,

3. Comprehensive - Cover continuation of current civilization, rebuilding of civ, Cybersecurity Offensive and Defensive.

4. Extinction Insurance - A savings account for Human Knowledge, a survival toolkit, safe haven, Re-Human Seed File.

It would probably be determined by the process taken as something like this has never been attempted to my knowledge. As a Software Engineer I would Plan A for 4, have a dedicated team for 1 finishing early, to carry that team over and use that knowledge to aim for 3, in which case 2 might be the result.
That record is only ~23 hours because it is a record within a very heavy weight class (14,000 kg+). There are many crafts similar to the one presented here that have done multi-day flights. This one can fly for months at a time: https://www.airbus.com/en/products-services/defence/uas/uas-.... And you can track it real time via ADS-B when it's up there!

Speaking of ADS-B, how do you get airspace clearance? And what do you need to have, voice comms / ADS-B? I guess there's not much of a problem with that given that next to no one flies so high.
Maybe not with the bus factor.
Agreed, it feels very Stross-ian.
I wonder what challenges Bandcamp faced here. Is it really that management wasn't serving the market in good faith, or was there a problem with profitability?

If you want to create engagement you / OP should consider posting about the relevant content of the video, rather than just dropping the cute title there and expecting it to do all the persuading by itself.

a title which incidentally would be very clever if applied to content that correlates with the irony of the song it comes from, but comes across as forced onto content which doesn't ask for it here.
Wow! That's a blast from the past! I'm flattered the post meant so much to you and your team that you remember it 17 years later!! The review was well deserved, Opera showed how good browsers could be on mobile, and really presaged how important they would become once smartphones took off. You guys were way ahead of your time.

I still find it interesting how personal blogs could have an impact back then when they were still a relatively new idea. Google gave us preferential placement in searches, and the results for many of us was a boost in our careers and an outsized notoriety. You're not the only one who's contacted me years later about something I wrote back when. I would never have predicted that at the time.

I appreciate you commenting about it!
The woman who discovered what the universe is made of doesn't even get as much as a plaque, much less a statue. When she died in 1979 her obituary didn't even mention her greatest discovery.

Every high school student knows that Isaac Newton discovered gravity, that Charles Darwin discovered evolution, and that Albert Einstein discovered the relativity of time. But when it comes to the composition of our universe, the textbooks simply say that the most abundant atom in the universe is hydrogen. And no one ever wonders how we know.
The difference is that a GmbH projects your personal assets. The risk for a software engineere is small, much smaller than for a lot of other business but still it protects you.

It also makes you a better business partner (in theory) as you have crossed a certain amount of effort to create a GmbH
You have to excuse me, but you lost me - I literally don't understand what point you're trying to make.

Don Norman's gripe applies not only to the elderly. I think good usability benefits everyone, and I do sympathise with him when it comes to the direction Apple has been taking for the past 10 years or so.

I don't think it's aesthetics vs usability that's at the core here -- I don't think at all that aesthetics and usability are somehow mutually exclusive. I think it's simply the lack of focus on first principles outlined by Don Normal himself.

HCI used to be front and center in the collective minds of the Internet, but it slowly faded to the background. As an example, check out the dates on the articles referenced in the "Mystery Meat Navigation" Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mystery_meat_navigation#Refere...

I think it's neat that our affordances are evolving (we don't need to have things looking exactly like physical buttons anymore for us to click on them). But at the same time, we should still apply ergonomic guidelines when designing interfaces, whether it's for the elderly, or not.

I find they are linked frequently on GitHub pages for projects. If not as part of the README, then somewhere on the right-hand side.

There are also dedicated Discord search engines like disbord.org.
I use Bandcamp a lot. Tbh, if I had acquired Bandcamp, in efforts for streamlining, I probably would have laid the editors off too. I've never read a single bandcamp article. Did anyone actually read them, especially enough to justify their cost?

In what universe has Jenkins ever been described as “fine”?
It should be more than obvious to everyone that at the very least it will further inflate housing prices because supply is heavily restricted (something that doesn’t apply to groceries and most other goods).
Woah, this is awesome
Beware that the trailing slash in the string after `gitdir` is significant! This string is a globbing pattern (it is not obvious at first sight, and seldom mentioned), and the trailing slash implies `**` [1].

So if you type "gitdir:~/work" instead of "gitdir:~/work/", you will lose some time wondering why your configuration is ignored.

`info | less` gives you the rendered documentation on a single page without the confusing hypertext UI.
Yes, Airbus’s project and team is very cool! What we’re doing shares similarities with Zephyr, but we’re focusing on a lower cost system, and a larger payload which will enable more use cases.

We’re using conventional silicon solar cells, rather than the GaAs cells used by Airbus. We give up some efficiency by doing this, but it keeps costs far lower - which we think is key to iterating quickly, and opening up some of the market use cases.

Similarly, we’re sticking with conventional battery chemistries (Lithium Ion). Battery energy density is by far the biggest driver for this technology - in the past decade we’ve seen huge advancements in battery tech, which is one of the reasons this technology is now possible. As you identify, cycle life is a key challenge and what will limit the aircraft’s endurance.
>A software emulator cannot run a physical ROM cart, right?

Why not? There's the polymega which is using software emulation and has addons to support running games via cartridges.
Canada is headed down the path of Argentina, obviously it’s a long way to go but this is how it goes.
I live in a small country with multiple languages. Every site knows the country from the IP, and the language from my language headers. Even so, I don't think 10% of the ads I see give me something I can actually buy in my country, and in the correct language.

Youtube is the worst. I get the same 2 ads every few minutes, for weeks, generally for things not applicable to me.

The ad networks serve you whatever ads they happen to have laying around, and generally that's a 1 size fits all dumb generic thing. All those metrics exist not because they work, but so the marketeers can convince themselves and their bosses they are doing their job by shoving ads around. Nobody even has to look as long as the illusion someone is looking still holds.

So.... what did this person do to verify the information before sharing it? Since they 'spend their life' fighting disinformation, surely they didn't just retweet it blindly? Right?
IMO, clock accuracy is less important for 3D games than it was for the handful of games that made me prefer the Analogue Pocket (Mother 3 for critical hits, etc.)

I imagine they will be hard-pressed to garner a ton of interest over existing solutions, but if the controller is unparalleled and the CRT filters are really good, who knows.

I also really hope they build support for microphone emulation. I'd love to play https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hey_You,_Pikachu! again without having to secure the special hardware that came with it (have it lying around somewhere but it has not stood well to the test of time...)
Hi,
That is very odd, what page is that???
You should be able to signup.
Thank you so much for checking this out!
Which specific API usage was allowed before and now panics? As far as I can see the only historically allowable API usage that would now panic, is registering exactly the same path twice, which in my books is just a bug.

Certainly it's technically a breaking change, but there's huge difference between making all existing usage of the mux interface incompatible with the new changes, and only making obviously incorrect and buggy usages of the interface incompatible.
> I think Canada has laws against a landlord doing this type of thing, maybe up to a percentage. Also, Not all landlords are that shitty.

Doesn’t matter. Prices would still go up over time as demand increases while supply stays the same.
So what you are saying is society should always have a population of destitute as a sacrifice so that companies don't raise prices 'because they can'. But wait, more profit means more taxes. Maybe raising taxes is a better approach then having a population of destitute people?
Most proposed UBI programs are intended to replace the myriad other government welfare spending programs with a single program. Any theoretical inflationary impact wouldn't be more than the difference between the benefits produced by the UBI and aggregate benefits provided by the programs it replaces.
Apologies. I also meant to say that the BBC was just as approachable as the Spectrum then lost my train of thought after the phone rang :) I found the Spectrum super frustrating to use, especially with that dead-flesh membrane keyboard.
In Canada there are quota limits for a lot of commodities, obviously not most groceries but many of them.
It probably depends on how the recommendation is offered, rather than if the recommendation exists at all.
Yep, and for some reason there is an abundance of economic shills on here and Reddit.

This economy is not healthy and there's a zero percent chance we get out unscathed. Good luck, stay diverse and don't lock yourself into some crazy mortgage or other debt
The company was sold to epic, who then sold it off again a couple months later after staff unionized, and now they're laying half the company off.

That does not seem like a good thing in any sense of the word.
In the eighties, income tax in Germany could go up to 56%. It is much lower know. Taxes are somewhat relative in space and time.
Pretty interesting, and rare to see projects in the space written in Fortran. Would be interested to hear what the advantages are, and appreciate if it's simply a case of personal preference too!
We read it at an HCI class I took in college, and I found it to be one of the most useful, if not THE most useful class for my software engineering career.
Yeah I was aware of that. I can’t see a reason to buy it and layoff staff other than “maintenance mode” though. Songtradr do licensing so having that catalogue available to them seems very useful.
True. The code generated by https://cc65.github.io/ is pretty decent but there are a few places where hand-rolled assembler will perform much better when you need it. Although I've made things for 6502-based systems in C with this handy compiler (thanks cc65 contributors!).

Is there something intrinsic to how C handles addressing that makes segmented architectures more painful than they ought to be? Or maybe is there a language where segmented addressing is easier?

I hadn't really thought about it in a while. :)
Power management kinda doesn't work on Linux, outside of ACPI. There are very minimal rules once you disconnect from AC, and most of the time you'll switch into high-usage mode when it isn't needed. There's not a clean way to fix this, to my knowledge; the Linux scheduler stack is just kinda based around desktop and server hardware.

That being said, I also use Linux on my Thinkpad anyways. There are decent enough workarounds that I can keep my system up for 5-6 hours when away from AC:

- Switching into battery-saver mode will keep clock speeds down, which generally reduces power usage (as long as you aren't slamming the cores)

- tlp can help if your hardware has power-draining characteristics (I don't use it, my defaults are good enough)

- Using an auto-nicer can keep your system feeling responsive in low-resource environments: https://github.com/pop-os/system76-scheduler

So... caveat emptor, YMMV. Linux is far from the most efficient OS away from the wall, but with a little bit of configuration I feel like my system does indeed work as a "normal laptop".
This is how it works for me, usually.

Q: I have this problem.

Mod: This is a dup of this.

Me: Goes to read the other ticket. It's from 8 years ago, and the answer was "This is solved in version X."

Me, on something many versions after X, and having the hindsight of knowing that no, it was not solved in X, shakes my head. I find the solution someplace else.

I do not go back to SO because I can't be bothered to fight an uphill battle.
Wildland forest fires were actually the inspiration for this technology! A year ago Seattle had the worst air quality in the world for a few days, which piqued my interest in the area. Speaking to people in the USFS we learned about the challenges of getting real-time high-resolution data, and realized that an ultra long endurance drone would be a great way to get this.
