Not easily, as they are so very different.
There are different ways to connect and logon. One is CICS, a transaction processor. This is what was used for online systems (banks, airlines etc). A short transaction code is entered followed by the required parameters. For example CANC 1234,231024 might be a cancel transaction on client 1234 for the date 2023-10-24. CICS is configured to invoke a particular COBOL (or other) program for the CANC transaction and pass it the parameters. The program starts up, receives the transaction and parameters from CICS via the equivalent of an API call. It then processes, probably confirming the client number exists, that the date is valid etc, reads the database, and updates the record there. Then when it finishes, it can emit a CICS screen to display or another (probably different) transaction. Thus processing may be chained together, or different programs invoked to guide the user through the processing. But that’s just CICS - more used for a user interface for systems.

If you are a developer you probably logon with TSO (Time Sharing Option). This gives you a command line where basic commands may be issued. There are a bunch of built-in system commands but they are mainly for managing datasets. You can write scripts in CLIST (Command LIST) language. These are the equivalent of shell scripts, being able to manipulate datasets and invoke programs. There is also REXX which is a much more sophisticated language.

Now as someone else commented, the IBM 327x terminal is not a glorified teletype, because IBM realised way back in the day that it would be much more efficient to only interrupt the computer when something happened, so it doesn’t use constant polling and communication but only interact when the mainframe sends data or the terminal sends an ENTER key (also function keys and some other special ones). This means that when you are typing away you can write a whole screen and the computer doesn’t know about it. When you press ENTER the whole screen is sent and processed and then the response is sent back. There is no live interaction.

Which brings me to ISPF. If you are a developer and working on the mainframe (not in an IDE) you will be using ISPF (Interactive System Productivity Facility). This is basically a menu system which makes the computer easier to use than the command line (a proto-gui a bit like the early CPM menu systems?). But ISPF is a lot more than just some menus. It includes an editor (have you ever used a full screen line-oriented editor? It has it’s charms.) and access to the compilers, and functions for allocating datasets, submitting jobs, monitoring jobs etc. Whatsmore, you can write your own ISPF screens and processing.

The other wild thing is that screens are defined with fields. Not only for colour, highlighting etc, but for display-only text (no overtyping) or for output or for input. You tab between input fields and enter the required text. This becomes fast and natural which is why those CICS screens in old systems are efficient. It is hard for people used to guis to come to grips with, as you have to understand where you can and can’t type on different screens.
Let alone pushing every couple of minutes.
Sony is still on my boycott list for all the crap they've pulled in the last decade, so yeah it does make sense.
We live okay in the presence of many endemic diseases.
I agree about the messaging, but in terms of actual security: What about your service provider’s “Bob”?
Some of the now paused ideas of needing to modernize buildings would have actually ruled out use of of buildings below certain standards from certain dates - so stranded assets are quite possible.

Payback: Maybe over 30-50 years, but not over 20 or so - so for a lot of older people this isn't an economically viable proposition. Lower health costs? Where does that come from?
Even with that blip, they're still incredibly cheap:

> Although their costs continue to exceed pre Covid-19 levels, solar PV and onshore wind remain the cheapest option for new electricity generation in most countries.

...

> power contracts for the end of 2023 and into 2024 in the European Union, the United States, Japan, Australia and India all indicate wholesale electricity prices two to three times above 2020 averages, increasing the economic attractiveness of wind and solar PV.

It's not, I assume the parent is using "famous" and "infamous" interchangeably, which is incorrect.

You're right. There probably wasn't a money flow driving parent's writing. Stupid idea.
RISC-V architectural purism was never going to survive any major effort to deploy it. Either you make changes like what Qualcomm suggest here or you aren't competitive.

The major question is how well RISC-V will manage disputes over this sort of thing without some group such as Qualcomm deciding to just release their version anyway.
I'm very excited for the RoR documentary that they plug in the bottom of the article, https://youtu.be/NaEG5Dz7xzM
They Cracked the Code to a Locked USB Drive Worth $235M in Bitcoin
I wish the author dove deeper into "does ruby scale" with hard numbers instead of pointing at big companies.

If Shopify, Github, or Gitlab wrote their code in golang or rust, would they need less CPU and memory? Would they have less bugs? Are refactors fast? How has RoR's ever changing JS ecosystem impacted these organizations?
Seems like you just picked an arbitrary and astronomical threshold, zoomed in somewhere that seemed vaguely close to Vancouver from the sky, and made your argument based on that. Parent was entirely correct in posing their question, because 45min from X is a giveaway.

Squamish is a wonderful small town up the coast; a haven for climbers and outdoors people. Not many people have the intention of moving there—it's quite isolated—but even still, that attached townhouse has more than doubled in value since it's last sale in 2007, probably the majority of which came in the last 5 years.
Yes absolutely: If both security elements fail (quantum computers that break classical crypto appear, and the supposed post-quantum element turns out to be insecure as well) then you're screwed. By combining you get a chain is as strong as the strongest link - but not stronger! The motivation with combining is to avoid a scenario where you start using a new post-quantum algorithm which turns out to be really insecure (like happened to SPHINCS+) so you're actually worse off.
Apple made more than 100 billion on iPhone sales in the first half of 2023 and the marginal cost of an update is essentially 0, so what your saying doesn't make sense.
No idea, but I’m not sure Apple will permit an iOS app that does that.
Social media giants censoring pro Palestine posts
This is basically what qualcomm proposes, 32 bit instructions and 64 bit aligned 64 bit instructions.

I don't think we have real data on it, but I suspect that the negative impact of this would effect 16/32/48/64 way more than just 32/64.
Tech companies have been working very hard over the last years to achieve this drop in confidence: sketchy use of people's data; incentivising/promoting hate-speech and misinformation in exchange for engagement in their platforms; micro targeting for advertisement, etc. etc.

Not surprised at all to see the massive drop in trust in Twitter for example. I think it was a healthy choice to drop all my social networks utilisation - happy I did.
Voyager Mission Status
Interesting. I would have thought it would mostly be done with families they know in person.
Most of the software mentioned was working fine on ARM based SBC-s long before Apple switched to it.
(I wrote that blog post).

What I was trying to say is: there's dogma about tests and code reviews.

At Google you would get fired for suggesting skipping code review.

Even at smaller Silicon Valley companies (smaller == less than 10 devs) it's unthinkable to not do code reviews. I haven't worked outside SV so it might be different.

That's the dogma.

My point is that maybe we should apply a bit of common sense on top of that.

I'm not saying Google should stop doing code reviews - the cost (to Google) of google search breaking is so high that you do 100x more than just code reviews.

But maybe those smaller companies don't need to dogmatically review the checkin for a documentation fix.
The extension CookieAutodelete makes it fairly painless, though you do need to remember configuring it for the webpages you actually want to stay logged in to (which may be fewer than you'd expect).
Speaking as a greasy capitalist; if I can invest in renewables and make money or resist renewables and make money, why resist?

The issue historically has been people have been claiming that renewables are cheap which were transparent lies. The German Energiewende stands as a stark monument to what happened to anyone silly enough to believe the greens in the 2010s. Even now there is reason to be suspect. But if the situation changes then what people do will change too.
GNU for example.
Would this still work if the client opens more than one tab?
I guess it's been inspired by Robert A. Heinlein's "Starship Troopers" book.

And yet literally the entire world aside from United States, Liberia, and Myanmar is able to grasp it perfectly.

What sort of best practices are there for monitoring apps for "suspicious behaviour"? I understand some basics, like checking request/error rates on service scopes, etc, but how sophisticated do these things get? Is there any "intelligent" tooling that people use for this kind of anomaly/threat detection where I can just point it at an event stream and it will identify anomalous behaviour, or do i need to consider everything up-front and add rules for what i need to monitor?
" the phase down of fossil fuels is not happening quickly enough"

It is not happening net - CO2 emissions are increasing.

I have posted this on HN before, but the reaction I have got have been its depressing, rather than anything can be done about it. Look at the the lovely graph: https://pietersz.co.uk/2023/03/co2-emissions-will-keep-risin....

"That said, if you really want to make a dent, start tackling the shipping industry rather than the individual."

Agreed. Reducing shipping and international transport would also make it harder to move environmentally damaging manufacturing to a country that just allows it.

"The emissions from these ships is also likely directly acidifying our oceans too."

I am glad someone is mentioning ocean acidification which I think is a bigger concern. However, I do not think it makes a difference where the CO2 is released - surely the atmosphere and ocean CO2 levels are in some sort of equilibrium (a shifting one, of course) so the result is much the same?
Would be neat if the show ends up being parallel universe seasons where each is the same starting situation with a different character.

Basically each season would be a speed run through the show with different starting stats. The dialog for the original is riveting if you start with the bare min minimum intelligence.
Unless the core finding was that funding was running out and they need more money.
Automated tests aren't so much to make sure that the test you just wrote works. You are right that manual testing can do that better sometimes.

Automated tests are so that the code you just implemented still works next months, when lots of other people have made unrelated changes, and weren't always aware of the interactions with other parts of the code.

The automation is important, so that the tests get run, even when people forget or are under time pressure.
That would be a good idea for file sync and documents, but wouldn't be as effective for RSS readers where the server needs to know the list of URLs to fetch, and terminate the TLS connections itself (unless the client does the fetching and pushes up articles in an encrypted format).

That's a "stick", not a stranded asset. The NPV of compliance would need to negative for the asset to be stranded.

If the older people want to sell their home to someone else then they need to do the work. Again, unless that work costs more than their house, which to be clear, it doesn't, then it's not a stranded asset.

It's not the `if err != nil` that's the problem, it's the following `return nil`.

As I mention above, return instead the error with some identifying information and context, and you get highly targeted details needed to locate and fix the problem. And the way Go handles this makes it simpler than doing it via exception handling.
They probably use a "ghost" device on their end (e.g.: Beeper with their Macs[1]) or a helper app you install on your Mac to plug into Messages (e.g.: AirMessage[2] with its macOS helper app).

What are you talking about? Look at the context before you get outraged. The comparison to metric here is "plutos" kind of like measuring with bananas. Saying a million km is not the same as saying "one moon distance".
On Android mupdf mini gives me exactly that with a few implicit features that makes reading pdf books on mobile be 'ok'.

There's a mupdf windows build. Perhaps that will do what you want.

(Mupdf is also a library so there are a lot of different programs with the name in it by various programmers.)
How many people use enough different instant messaging platforms to pay $12.50 per month for the priviledge of having to open only one app?
I think it's an example of a company suited for venture capital. As far as I can see, there was no option other than to grow rapidly. They'd need to have matched Intel/Qualcomm/etc. to have any chance of success.

VC gave them money on the initial RISC-V hype but then the hyped died down. There was like a good year or two with no real affordable products on the market and the software/toolchains were all half-baked. It also became clear that an open instruction set doesn't really bring you any huge "win". As far as I can see, the necessary subsequent waves of VC with deeper pockets never materialized (like MagicLeap had managed)

The Chinese competitors were also very quick and managed to catch up and in essence beat them to market - so they've lost any first-mover advantage
I wouldn't worry about a targeted attack if I was "nobody" and I was self hosting. Likely bitwarden? I'd worry about an attacker scanning and exploiting every instance they can find. Scanning is cheap and provides value in aggregate.

I'd recommend only exposing bitwarden on an intranet, or controlling access with a strict firewall, but the setup guide makes no such suggestion. https://bitwarden.com/help/install-on-premise-linux/
That guy in the suite making sure he doesn't leave any dust speckles... but that mirror looks very dusty in that photo. I verified it is not dust on my screen :)
Why would you need a 64 bit instruction; what kinds of things are going to be used for it?

What does 'rare' mean here, does it mean rare in execution, or rarely appears in code? (The difference being that something might only appear once in your code but be part of your hot loop so be executed any number of times)

If they are rare in execution, what is their value over composing them of 32-bit instructions, where the (rare) overhead of doing so would be typically a amortised away?

(The only thing I can think of that 64 bit instruction seem suited to is some kind of internal CPU management instructions, but context switches etc. are relatively rare & very expensive anyway so... I don't know)
That's in a completely different business. Trademarks generally do not cover all possible uses of a word, only the use of that word in the segment it was approved for.
When you compose a new message on iMessage, below the text field where you type your message is a scrolling bar of app icons that can be invoked and do stuff with the message you are creating. Apps can appear here and provide functions.

The built-in Photos app is probably the most used one, typically you open it to create or select a picture to attach.

I'm not sure of the API or what it allows you to do, but it probably uses that same mechanism.
Someone get that person a nail care routine!

Oh man, glad you asked. Still trying to figure out all this business stuff for poss market, a marketplace for software I’m just about to launch https://poss.market

Basically it’s a place on which you can charge for using your software (and keep it free of charge for non-commercial usage if you want to)

Do you feel suppressed by me? You should also consult Wikipedia about "the leader" of the Germans.

I didn't label dissent as derangement and I even outlined (my) definition of TDS. You could easily apply it to other people than orange-utan and it isn't strictly limited to political affiliation either. However, nobody today embodies the baseless outrage triggering like the guy with the tiny hands. And let's face it, baseless outrage is also more often seen in one political movement today.

Some even say they are suppressed by challenging opinions ;)
then Microsoft Power Automate, basically the same thing as Scratch but we can get a support contract.
Damn it, internet and rage bait culture. "Americans will use anything but metric" in refernce to using pluto distance as a metric is what I replied to, not metric vs mi.

Freaking HN.
If they’d written their code in golang or rust, they’d have been out-competed by a competitor who iterated faster and got better product-market fit. The only reason the three companies have the opportunity to suffer from scaling challenges is that they were wildly successful.
> But thanks to other investment, solar cells have become incredibly cheap and we can get a lot of our energy from Big Photodiode.

Solar cells have become incredibly cheap because the Chinese government is heavily subsidizing their producers, both financially and in terms of lax environment and worker protection regulation.

In the end they're running the typical VC playbook: use price dumping to destroy the competition and when no one is left (or the political opportunity is needed), squeeze the locked-in customers for all they have.
> I think meritocracy is a good thing.

The term "meritocracy" was coined as a satirical parody of effective governance.

https://www.routledge.com/The-Rise-of-the-Meritocracy/Young/...

It was meant to be a negative, and is used as a pejorative: as a very bad idea that became effectively a swearword.

Be careful what you wish for.
And yet even dedicated gaming keyboards often have 50ms latency or more internally, and the last YT video I've seen on "system latency" actually didn't look at any latencies and just measured frame render times. I don't know of a single channel that does actual keyboard-to-screen latency measurements.

The gaming community may care about numbers but I don't know if most actually know what those numbers say.
It's not the water weight, since they're always dried. Not every mushroom has the same % of active ingredients vs the rest of the dry weight. You could have one big weak shroom or a tiny potent one.
This conversion O(2^n) -> O(2^n/2) only applies to Grover's algorithm which can be used to break symmetric crypto (AES etc.). This is not the usual concern in the context of quantum computers because it just corresponds to halving the key space (in bits) which you can protect against by doubling the key size. So use AES-256 instead of AES-128. And the benefit by Grovers can only be had once. And as the paper you link to point out, maybe even that benefit is in question.

However, the main concern with quantum computers vs cryptography is Shor's algorithm which works on RSA and ECC. Shor's has the potential to take the problem from exponential (or at least close to exponential but sub, in the case of RSA) to polynomial O(n^3) which is much more powerful (essentially taking a log of the running time!). That is still assuming, of course, that workable quantum computers of required since will appear and that all the associated problems with that (noisy qbits etc.) are solved. Other challenges could also show up (difficulties scaling for longer computations, more passes through quantum gates, larger super-positions or even that the quantum laws governing e.g. probability amplitudes don't hold with full accuracy at such scales).
Nonprofits aren't a panacea here - I remember a piece recently on how their executive salaries are sometimes very high and detract from the nonprofit's original purpose.
I wonder what they’re capable of with the team that’s left.
Also, an anxious person won’t use this app if there is any chance of his data leaking outside. For example, I couldn’t start my personal calendar until I found a way to have it 100% locally via Obsidian plugin.
Psilocybin works in sort of the same way as SSRI. SSRIs will keep around the serotonin we make, but the problem is, if we’re not making enough serotonin in the first place they won’t be effective.

Psilocybin on the other hand acts kind of like the serotonin molecule itself. It attaches to most of the serotonin receptors, including the two receptor. The reason why it works for so long is you get such a huge and strong attachment to the serotonin receptors that the body ends up, reducing the serotonin receptors in response. It’s this lack of serotonin receptors that make us more sensitive to what little serotonin we make.

There’s nothing non-pharmacological about the effects of mushrooms.
I Hope it turns out well.

Generally I think Amazon does a good job with the prime original series.

I liked the Expanse. The peripheral was interesting.
Even the LotR “rings of power” I found enjoyable, and maybe better than expected after those hobit movies.. Not perfect but it had heart, some humor, good music (Bear Mccready, Fiona apple!) thought a bit too sentimental as LOTR tends to be..

HBO took the “last of us” and did something decent I fall into hope springs eternal camp. But I’d rather play the story than just watch it… I loved the uncharted games, but am never going to see an uncharted movie.

In this case I watched my partner play fallout. It had a story, but you play you, not a specific character. But a settlement always needs your help.
Yeah KGB, CIA, FSB et al. had that figured out some time ago.
