MAME is basically a triumph of human achievement, and one of my go-to examples of why emulation development is useful outside of pirating video games.

Yes, pirating video games is a common usecase of emulators, but it's not like the work preserving old computers is solely useful for games. A MOS 6502 is still a 6502 whether it's playing Mario or BASIC, and games turn out to just be a remarkably good (and fun) way to test accuracy of the emulation.

I think there are lots of unique computers made in the world of synthesizers and game consoles and the like, and I am glad that the MAME project is doing what it can to make sure that these are not forgotten.
I'm not speaking hypothetically. If you hit a "zero-day" bug that Dell has never seen it's going to take time. And somehow every large customer finds bugs that Dell certification didn't.
As apposed to downloading a binary, chmoding it, and running it as your user? I honestly don't see the difference unless you only want packages in auditable flatpaks or snaps.
The collapse of the USSR to Russia et al might count as a "rich" country doing worse. Can you name any others? Now I think about it, I suppose the loss of the British Empire itself might be one… after all, that was what got it excited to join the European project in the first place, though given national attitudes I'm sure the fact that the French boycotted it initially probably also helped sell the idea.
It’s probably more due to coastal subsidence than rising sea levels. My favorite is when glaciers retreat there is a rebound effect from pressure which can cause other local land to sink as a sort of equilibrium.

I think in the Mediterranean coastal subsidence is mostly due to plate tectonics. I remember reading something about how myth of Atlantis might be due to a real life city that sunk as a result of an earthquake.
- Require two independent kill switches, one long range, one close range (say 5m).

- Allow everyone to have close range kill switches, which use a universal open standard protocol that works on every robot (alas pepper spray for robots).
I’m curious what game developers have to lose by open sourcing their code. When I imagine a world where games all have their source available (but without textures and models so you still need to pay for it to play), I can’t see financial losses for the people selling the game. And especially for games where modding is encouraged the lack of OS releases is surprising.

It's even worse than paying for egress because the cloud provider gets to capture any gains in compression technology, right?
Code of Ur-Nammu
I've brewed beer on and off for over a decade, so I was able to assemble everything from gear I had laying around.

My setup is two corny kegs and a 5lb CO2 tank w/ regulator, in a chest freezer with a temp controller set to 1°C. I put everything in the basement under the kitchen and ran a line up.

I like an aggressive carbonation, so I set the regulator to 35 PSI. It takes a few days to carbonate, so I swap back and forth between the two kegs. It's a bit overkill, but its the only way I know to get chilled seltzer at the tap.

Other options:

- Buy a 5lb CO2 tank and a sodastream adapter.
- Buy a 5lb CO2 tank, regulator, and a soda bottle adapter. You can carbonate 2-liter bottles and store them in the fridge.
- Buy a homebrew kegging kit and just fill it with water.

Before you buy a CO2 tank, figure out where/how to get it refilled. I get mine at a welding supply store, and they only swap tanks, so I would be upset if I bought a nice new bottle and had to trade it for a beater.
> Dell is a single vendor that will diagnose and fix all of your hardware issues.

I've been a Dell customer at a previous company. I know for a fact that's not true.

I had a support ticket for a weird firmware bug open for two years, they could never figure it out. I left that job but for all I know the case is still open many years later.

Dell doesn't know how to fix things like that because they don't design and engineer the systems they sell. Dell is a reseller who puts components together from a bunch of vendors and it mostly works but when it doesn't, there's nobody on staff who can fix it.
I've gathered that the ROMs are the firmware that runs on the "hardware" to create the computing platform inside the arcade machine or console, which was similar or the same across many games (essentially the computer inside the cabinet). Therefore it's separated out to prevent massive duplication. The CHDs are the game-specific material that ran on the platform to present a particular game.

That's a shame, I like the idea of explicitly indicating that I don't want anything more than what's necessary (or at least not indicating that I don't care about them).
HOTP (one-time) and TOTP are typically used in conjunction with one another. HOTP provide backup codes should client or server time be out of sync.

https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4226

FIDO2 with a hardware key source provides a much stronger and more secure guarantee than a 6 digit hash and an unencrypted symmetric secret stored in an app.

https://fidoalliance.org/fido2/

Any and all 2FA approaches demand backup codes (and backup code management with confidentiality and durability) to protect against 2FA loss or inability of the 2FA to function. For example, there are some apps that insist on performing FIDO2 on a non-NFC platform. While I can use a Lightning to USB-C adapter to workaround this limitation, it's possible that I might not have it and would need some other 2FA "sufficient" mechanism.

By the way, there is "HSM"-like passkey functionality embedded in most modern Apple and Samsung devices that doesn't require a USB token. This has the downside of not being a dedicated hardware token, so it cannot be physically isolated offline and requires an additional piece of software to act as a FIDO2 authenticator.
Two reasons why you probably had to study those:

1. Chaos Theory was all the rage in the 80s. My dynamical systems prof said “you couldn’t go to a cocktail party without talking about it.” Clearly I’ve been going to the wrong cocktail parties. That’s also why you see it pop up in fictional works like Jurassic Park from that era.

2. Chaos gives rise to all sorts of chemistry relevant phenomena that can be modeled via statistical mechanics. The most obvious is thermodynamics but that’s because I’m not a chemist. I know people study chemical reactions from a stat mech perspective, and a lot of people doing stat mech are in the chemistry department. How you get the randomness in stat mech is by approximating a high-dimensional chaotic system with a low-dimensional one to render a problem tractable. In doing so, you lose the Markov property of the dynamics (your rates of change don’t just depend on the current state of the system but all previous states). Non-Markovian systems are very complicated, so the non-Markovian part of the dynamics gets replaced by random noise.

Ah this was me when I moved to next 13 and finally said fuck it and moved back to plain templates and some webpack (for ts for doing non ajaxy js). Even as a backend/platform I actually gave the modern JS ecosystem a really decent try (about 2 years on next/react alone). And before that I had written fairly complex fe code in typescript (granted these weren't doc oriented apps but were more like IDEs). The moment I had to serve static-ish sites the complexity just ballooned!

Ask HN: How did Git become the standard when Windows is the majority OS?
I'm young enough that Git became the standard before I was even into programming, so I didn't witness this happen in real time.

On Windows, Git requires MSYS2, Bash, and some other tools from Linux to run, although the installer is nice enough that it's not too much of a hassle. However, from what I've read secondhand, it wasn't always nice.

According to Statista, 61% of software developers used Windows in 2022, and it was similar in precision years; however, it seems like some amount were dual-booting (Windows + MacOS + Linux/other Unix adds up to more than 100%) [1].

Given that, why didn't Windows users establish something like Mercurial as the standard, given their majority/plurality status? Or did something like that happen?

Sonic Youth was a large part of my high school sound track. I had some class mates who were also into indie music, I lent my copy of Washing Machine to one of them, when she returned it to me she looked at me as if I was insane (or at least my taste in music).

Evol/Sister/Daydream Nation were my favorites though.
They were definitely in the old guard by 2000 or so, just in that they had already had a career and half by then. They toured with Nirvana!

But that doesn't mean their later albums aren't also great and squarely in the canon. Sonic Nurse, in particular, is one of their best imo.
Great more attempts to make this once really great product more unusable.

> Why is all the winning software in every category slow and bloated and seemingly unconcerned with engineering excellence?

1. They are extremely aggressive about coming to market fast. That's a good thing, yes.
2. They then let the project ossify because they view development as a cost center. Which is a bad thing.
3. Their endgame after being successful enough and can afford enough lawyers, they start proactively buying or shutting down potential competitors.

The "marketing wins over quality (and slower) engineering" does apply, yes, but not throughout the entire lifecycle. It applies only in the very first phase.
I pointed out that the directive is for libraries, and stated the framework React is built on reactivity. The vast majority of the ecosystem is built on using state.

Didn't realize I needed to put this together for you, but that means the vast majority of the ecosystem defaults to breaking your build.

And frankly, I really have to question your understanding of the topic when you say things like "NextJS is doing any harm by not magically including "use client" on your own files"

Vercel drove RSC home for Next.js. Shopify tried it (because eCommerce) the effort petered out, and then Next.js, needing a bullet in the chamber against Remix and Hydrogen went and dragged a half-baked concept antithetical to the underlying technology over the finish line.

Next.js is still the only actual implementation of RSC: Remix tried it and wrote it off for very obvious reasons... since Vercel/Next.js got to write the framework side and the implementation, there are a massive number of gaps in the standard.
> a forced dismantling of Apple's vertical integration consumers continue to deliberately choose

"deliberately choose" is too strong when you are picking the lesser evil.

> Apple should be allowed to benefit from the sweat they invested and sell a mobile console appliance, while others should be allowed to make build-your-own mobile compute. Put another way, there's room for an iPad Pro 13 and a Frame.work Laptop 13. None of these should be forced to break their model to accommodate one of the others'.

Is the sweat of the literal biggest company in the world by market cap more important than the sweat of the users paying thousands of dollars for devices they can't control? These guys don't need protection of their vertical integration, they are not selling hardware at a loss.

I don't like Google nor Apple, so I'm not picking between them, I'm picking the users side. What I'd like is to be able to put a different OS on my phone. We've seen what happened with Asahi Linux and the M Macs, if the iPhone were not locked down we would have a proliferating open source OS community around it and everyone would benefit directly and indirectly.
Or, maybe you do show it because there’s a scene where they’re also talking through something important and that’s a normal human interaction which is in character, but that’d be like 5% of what we see now. There is a certain percentage of people who don’t want to ever see sex in movies but I think that’s a lot smaller than the group of people who like it where it fits naturally into a well-written story but are turned off when it feels like a contractual obligation.

I did have to write a script to sign and package the app for distribution, but it wasn't as painful as plain-old iPhone development used to be simply because of the wildly unreliable certificate BS in Xcode.

^ this right here exactly. For people who are not aware, Linus was actively courted for some time by Larry McVoy to get linux kernel development to use BitKeeper, Larry's new all-singing all-dancing distributed VCS (this is when those were extremely unusual). I think Larry thought if the kernel was hosted in bitkeeper he would be able to sell his thing to every big coroporate for megabucks. After a short period using it with lots of flamewars about licenses etc BitKeeper was dropped and Linus went away for about a weekend and wrote the bones of what became git. Git tookover the world and Larry McVoy never got his dream of parlaying lk dev running on BitKeeper into commercial software success. These days scarcely anyone can even remember BitKeeper. Definitely a very salient comparison to how HashiCorp seems intent on crashing their plane into the mountain.

OpenAI is irresponsible in a really curious way according to their own beliefs about AI.

If you pay attention to OpenAI's social circles, lots of those people really do believe that we're less than 20-30 years away making humans intellectually obsolete. Specifically, they believe that we may build something much smarter than us, something that's capable of real-world planning.

Basically, "We believe our corporate plans have at least a 20% chance of killing literally everybody." By these beliefs, this may make them the single least responsible corporation that has ever existed.

Now, sure, these worries might have the pleasant side-effect of creating a regulatory moat. But I'm pretty sure a lot of them actually believe they're playing a high-stakes game with the future of humanity.
I recently had the misfortune of having to use a background check app that was mobile only!

It was a real pain to enter past employer and residence names and addresses on a mobile keyboard, but even worse when it came to dates, because the date picker would only scroll a month at a time, starting from the current month and year. To enter my birthdate, I had to tap ~550 times.

(I was kinda tempted to file an EEOC claim, since the broken date entry has a disproportionate impact on older workers, a protected class. But that's not a great way to introduce yourself to a new employer's HR department.)

Wait really? Where can I read more about this, this goes against what I would assume.

Edit: Or do you mean that when dispatch_async the block is run with the QoS of target queue instead of source? That is what I would normally expect, if you want to "inherit priority" then dispatch_sync would do that, at the expense of blocking.
