Sixth Edition is from 1975. Let's consider its contemporary large-scale multiuser OS environments:

* PLATO at UIUC. Much more sophisticated graphics and extensive support for multiuser gaming, but requires custom (and expensive) terminals. Homegrown mainframe, then CDC hardware.

* Michigan Terminal System at University of Michigan and elsewhere. Runs on IBM mainframes.

* Multics, ITS, TOPS-10, and who knows what else at MIT. (Not Unix.) Mostly DEC hardware.

* Stanford's WAITS, a descendant of ITS. DEC hardware.

* Last but definitely not least, DTSS at Dartmouth, running on GE/Honeywell systems.

Of these, DTSS is by far the most widely used. Every Dartmouth undergraduate student is required to, at some point, write and debug a BASIC program. Terminals are everywhere on campus and almost everyone uses them for work (homework, research, and homegrown applications for registration and asset management for employees) and fun (games, email). Dartmouth's later BlitzMail is a natural extension of this mindset once things are decentralized to micros.

PLATO is widely available at UIUC but it is not proactively forced upon all students like DTSS. Based on The Friendly Orange Glow, some classes require its use but otherwise most seem to discover it from some unused terminal in the basement. No use by university employees.

From what little I know of MTS I think this is somewhere in between DTSS and PLATO in terms of adoption, at least at Michigan. Possibly more widespread/proactive at some other installations?

Stanford and MIT's systems are not for the masses, in the sense that students at large are not expected to use them. I don't think we're yet at the point where, for several years, anyone (affiliated with the university or not) can go to an MIT terminal (or connect remotely) and get an account. If not, you probably need to know someone in Course 6 or works at LCS. I think Stanford requires SAIL affiliation.

If Walter Bright reads this, he can tell us what Caltech is like.

Most other universities have computers by this time, of course, but almost always just batch-card systems.

Note that Unix is not listed above. I don't believe any university has students using it. Over the next decade there will be an explosion in multiuser, mostly driven by DEC hardware and, at first, DEC software, with Unix slowly, then suddenly, taking market share from DEC's own OSs despite outrage from DEC staff. DTSS, as widely used as it is, remains stuck in BASIC; in 1984 Dartmouth moves heavily into micros by becoming an early Macintosh adopter. PLATO remains isolated at UIUC; the ambitious CDC attempt to commercialize it almost kills the company, and anyway never goes beyond "drill and practice"-type software that wastes the graphical and social features. As mentioned, MIT is not a place where most students get exposure to computers, or otherwise an early pioneer in Unix. This suddenly changes in 1983 with Project Athena; within a few years MIT produces X and Kerberos.

Not terribly surprising, given that you now need to subscribe to like 5-10 streaming services with regularly increasing prices, as opposed to maybe 2 a few years ago, to get the same content.
The US was very clear in their view that Russia was going to attack, for example.

It really depends on who you are facing if you even get to entrench. For example: NATO's old plans against the Warsaw Pact pretty much always called for the use of nuclear weapons, so no entrenchment there (with the assumption that the larger Warsaw Pact forces would be able to rapidly advance initially, despite some preparation to block progress).

A lot of cyclists enjoy cycling above Zone 3. One time I went on a ride with just one person and he was max zone 3 while I was flipping between zone 4 & 5. I’ve gone cycling with people slower than me and it’s literally so boring. You either go at your natural pace and wait at a lot of stoplights for them to catch up or you pedal way less.

Speed also changes where you can go. Where I’m at, Cyclists will often meet up at 5am or 5:30 am and go on a 60km ride together before going home and getting ready for work. 25km/h and 30km/hr results in a difference of almost half an hour, which many people can’t afford to wait.

I’ve gone on century rides with a friend where we did 60km ride to the base of the mountain, then 1km elevation over 10km, then back down, and then back home totaling around 150km.

In summary, speed literally changes how long the ride takes by hours and what routes are available. You love the feeling of the wind and the beautiful views, and the longer you go the more interesting routes you can go on. Most probably have a time constraint, so higher speed = more interesting routes and more fun.

There’s also groups of people (mostly 50 and above) who are past their prime but still in the community. It’s nice to join them on bike rides during your rest days where you’re doing active recovery.

Cycling, and other endurance sports, are great in that you can go on group rides with people at different skill levels by pairing your fast days with their slow days and vice versa until you finally are able to catch up to them on their fast days.
In a non verifiable way, sure.
I don't think retaining the old instructors would be a good idea. Their training methods were probably very heavily influenced by the Soviet times, which will not work well with modern approach to warfare.

Of course there are other aspects of being in the army.
There was a time when many artists said "It’s OK if people download, as long as they come to the show and buy merch, where the money goes directly into our pockets." However, touring has become more expensive for bands. It is now common to hear of even fairly popular acts canceling a tour somewhere, just because they can’t make it work out financially. Add to this two years of restrictions on live performances under COVID in many countries and there was no obvious way for acts to generate a decent income.
I’ve tried dragging the slider. One pixel is louder than the bottom stop from the volume buttons on android. Haven’t tested with bose or no-name stuff. Mostly just midrange audiophile stuff.
> NixOS uses "reproducible" to mean "with the same Nix code, you get the same program behaviour".

Note that ”Nix code” also includes the hashes of all non-Nix sources. One way to think of it is that Nix has reliable build cache invalidation.

> This is more/less what people hope Dockerfiles provide.

Indeed, but importantly they do not provide input-reproducibility (while Nix does) because, at least, there are no hashes for remote data.
Maybe you have an older version from before the regulation was introduced, but The Sebo E3 is now 890W as advertised on their website.

Yes I have a Miele which is decent but not as good as my previous one from before the regulation (also a Miele that died through no fault of its own).
As I said, we know a lot about what soldiers thought, including the ones who died. (And by far not everyone who fought in a war and survived thinks it wasn't so bad - not sure how you even think that.)

Nobody can force me to fight. Maybe I would get imprisoned, maybe I would get executed, but whatever happens, it's my moral duty to ensure that whoever attempted to force me into military slavery does not benefit from the attempt, and as a conscript I would have very little to lose.
The introduction of this is a great read. I liked especially the tautology about abstraction and calling more code; that building upon higher levels of abstraction means ever-smaller missteps are required by the developer to make software significantly less performant. Made me think of the subject discussed in [1]

Ask HN: What are your go-to methods for promoting your project?
I feel that there is a saturation of new products and that the more cliche promotional channels, such as Instagram Ads, etc. is either ineffective or too costly.

I try to implement more forward thinking and unconventional strategies as I find them yielding better results.

What are some examples of such strategies in your opinion? Or rather, what have been the most effective channels you've utilized?
Could you not get it to produce nitrous oxide instead? Or can nox be used as an oxidiser like nitrous oxide?

If the byproducts are a liquid an a gas, seems like it would be easy to separate the two.

Or is there a cheap source of nitrogen less air/ oxygen?
> BirdNET is an artificial neural network that identifies bird species by sound.

A while ago there was an HN thread raving about how Seek by iNaturalist was fun (true!) and did such a good job of identifying whatever it was you were looking at (maybe!) and not overstepping the bounds of what it could know for sure. (See below!)

So I set up an account and I tried it out.

It's pretty clear that Seek places far more weight on giving you a full species-level identification than it does on whether it can be confident that that identification is correct. I guess it's possible that the stand of groundcover I found on the shore of an artificial lake in a public park is a different species from the stand of groundcover with identical coloration and shape about 12 inches away... but I doubt it. Even if they were different species, I'm pretty sure my low-resolution images of two stands of plants with no flowers or seeds wouldn't be enough for an expert to tell them apart.

In a parallel occurrence, I took a photo of a local beetle that Seek identified as "Strawberry seed beetle", harpalus rufipes. I uploaded that to iNaturalist proper (labeled "beetles"; I already didn't trust the identification) and checked out some nearby photos. A very similar-looking beetle had been photographed in my area and identified as harpalus sinicus. So I left a comment asking how the tagger could tell that this was sinicus and not some other kind of harpalus. And I got a response, saying "I'm not trained in entomology and I couldn't explain what the difference is. But me and my friend think this is sinicus."

I harbor a sneeking suspicion that the "friend" was Seek.

They advertise that Seek is trained on labels from iNaturalist. But those labels appear to be generated in large part by Seek. Something needs to change.
Those women also had far less competition. The men the next town over they now have access to come with a town full of women who are now able to access the men of the town the woman is in. Each time her dating pool increases, the competition increases too.

There's no free lunch, just tyranny of too many choices, endless analysis paralyses and FOMO.

> I refuse to for a project that I already give away my time for.

Maybe I’m naive but I feel like the solution is pretty obvious: just crowdsource the cost of the certificate and only sign the software as long as the money keeps coming in.

If people really do care that much they should be willing to help shoulder the cost, and if they’re not then there shouldn’t be a problem with it being unsigned.

Formerly there were "dime stores" and now there are "dollar stores". So the currency has been diluted ~~10x over a period of [something less than] a century. So every unit is now 0.1 of what it was when the decisions were made that still govern the size, weight, and quantity of production of both coins and paper currency. Today's penny is what used to be a "mill", one-tenth of a cent, a unit still used locally within living memory but issued at the state level rather than by the U. S. Mint. Half-cents were scrapped as long ago as 1857; they would be today's nickel (or more). The Canadians, Australians, Brits, and Europeans have it right: useful coins today would be 10, 20, 50 cents, 1 dollar, and 2 dollars. (I suppose we can grant the quarter legacy status, even though it originated from a crown-size coin that was so thin that it could be bent and broken in half, then in half again.)
>Those were a lot more desirable than the other soviet cars available in eastern Europe: at least finding a half-empty bottle of vodka left behind the door panels was out of the equation.

Why not finding one would that make it more desirable? If anything, it would have doubled its value!
There’s an alternative civil service route and several different ways you can complete your military service - along with a whole host of exceptions.

I’d suspect a relatively large number of conscripts will be diverted to the civil service route on basis of fitness, choice, suitability, etc initially - doing work such as driving ambulances, fire service, auxiliary policing work, working in care homes, being porters in hospitals, etc.

It also sounds like there’s a route similar to ROTC for university students?
> The result of this all is that our dating profiles are a limited, and often misleading, approximation of ourselves.

I once asked my therapist what she thought of an idea where therapists did double-duty as matchmakers, serving as a kind of gatekeeper, where they only set you up with someone once they saw you really did the work and moved past whatever was holding you back in your relationships, thus protecting the market from "lemons". She said it wouldn't work and didn't go into the details; over time, I came to appreciate that getting better at relationships meant diving in, imperfect as I am, and getting better through experience. So such a gatekeeper would have a moral hazard/catch-22, not being able to set people up on dates would prevent them from progressing.

Who you really are is someone who is always a work in progress. No dating profile could ever capture that - and it's unreasonable to expect one to ever succeed at doing so. And if someone isn't changing and growing - they should work on that before blaming their dating profile.

Or, they could just make the volume slider run from min to max, instead of loud to louder.

Presumably the manufacturers already calibrated volume range based on the Bluetooth spec.

> The EUIPO speculates that financial pressures, like inflation, means that people have less money to spend on entertainment.

I cancelled Netflix because of the drop in quality of the content over the years. It just isn't worth it to keep it around for the few shows which are decent. I don't pirate, I have other hobbies, but I could imagine many people in the same circumstance would pirate content to catch a good show. This is doubly true of movie geeks that would subscribe to multiple streaming services at once to get their content.

This feels akin to Chrystia Freeland saying families should cut a $8 streaming subscription to balance their budgets... during a COL crisis where people are spending >$3000 a month for basics.
>Of anything the war in Ukraine showed the power of the ~~European countries~~ United States if they want something done.

War is absolute shit. Nobody should have to go. I've never served and I don't know what is best for the security of a country, everyone fighting or all the women not fighting, what I know is that Svetlana Alexievich's book "The Unwomanly Face of War: An Oral History of Women in World War II" gave me a bunch of insights into how it works to have women in War from first hand oral accounts. Highly recommend it, she got a Nobel prize too.
Whatever works for the author, he is self employed. For most companies I have worked for I would get to the office very early in order to have at least 90 minutes of total concentration before other people came to work. I would usually leave work around 3PM, a few hours before other people left work. That always worked really well for me. During the day, I would routinely shut my door for a while and relax.

>They really didn't, it's all survivorship bias

Visit Cuba to see the "survivorship bias" theory proven BS. Or many places in Asia and Africa and Latin America, for that matter. Older cars, including cheap ones like the 2CV, VW Beetle, Fiat Mini, Yugo, and such, were very serviceable and durable, with very easy means of repair. I know people who in 2023, still have the Beetle, 2CV, and Mini in working condition (and rather pristine), their family having it since the 70s. And I had a friend who was using a Yugo for over 20 years, from student to 40ish (he changed it when he got a kid).

If a modern car, engine or one of the dozens of cpus die, you're SOL without the manufacturer support, original parts, and official service. Even worse for an electric.

With those you could go around the world (and many in the 60s and 70s did, like going on "hippie" style adventures), and fix them locally, sometimes even with the most basic tools.

>those that survived were usually maintained out of necessity

And that's bad (or invalidates their durability) because?

Your comment misses a fundamental point about privacy. Privacy is not about being hidden away, it's having control over your data. Last FM had a good set of privacy controls, in that users could send their tracks over and if memory serves, correct me, they could choose to socialise it.

I wish car engines had mics built in, as well as one close to each suspension.

It would record for the first 5 minutes, then at certain intervals or at certain conditions.

The car would give you FFT images which you could then look at and see how it changes over the years. No need for online-stuff, just an USB port where you stick in a big stick and software for your computer/tablet to evaluate/visualize it.

If you'd then see some problems, you could ask for the audio to be recorded with it, which you could send to a friend who knows about cars or to your car workshop.

Literate programming shouldnt necessarily apply to application code for large systems but I almost always want more literate tests that clearly explain not just what should happen under all kinds of scenarios but why it does that. Even better if I had hyperlinked explanations for domain specific terms.

If I always had this I think I'd become fully productive on large systems 2x as quickly.

I dont think this need be achieved by hiring a unicorn coder who is also a great writer but by making tests more accessible and editable by good technical writers so that both parties can collaborate around behavioral tests that double as documentation.
Ask HN: Is it possible to be profiled as a bot?
Sometimes I wonder if I'm being profiled as a bot. Is this possible? If so, where would such a profile exist?

Here is the evidence I have;

* PayPal kicked me out recently and they won't give a reason despite me trying pretty hard to get one.
* Wikipedia has my IP blacklisted for editing. No idea why.
* It took a long time talking to customer services last year to convince Discord that I wasn't a bot when I tried to sign up
* I have two 2-3 year old Gmail accounts, both of which always have empty spam folders. (I checked, it's not a settings thing. There are a couple of other people online who also have this problem and can't solve it)

Am I just imagining that these things could be related somehow?
It requires like at least 10 clerks, logistics workers, cooks, drivers, etc for each “fighting man” in the army in modern times - warfare is largely applied logistics.

I’d suspect that a lot of the conscripts will get some basic weapons training and then end up in a “rear” role while the professional soldiers and best of the conscripts are assigned to the “combat units” and train more rigorously
Companies have no rights. Only people do.
Yeah it's already headed in that direction with realestate pricing. The only upside is that in Croatia you can pay <25% tax if you work as a contractor (up to 1M€ income per year) and there's a decent level of private healthcare available since medical tourism is a thing.
I don't think is that simple, the happiness levels of women have not increased in recent years according to many studies, its more likely a complex issue and that aspect you mention may be a minor variable; I believe is more likely than us (our brains to be exact) have had not time to adapt to the new times where you have to watch hundreds of people with "better" partners than us just by scrolling through your feeds, and that is quite chaotic but soon enough we will adapt a bit better.
