PRC regulatory requirements for communication is expensive for domestic players, why should western entrants be spared? That's like allowing PRC auto in US on less stringent safety requirements. The reason FB and twitter pulled out in 09 after minority/terrorist attacks was because they didn't have the moderation system in place, while PRC platforms had 10000s of expensive, physical bodies doing the grunt work at the time. Which was prescient, and it wasn't until western platforms started implementing mass moderation post NZ shooting that they started initatives to retner PRC market (FB & Google at least), because they finally spent the money and can now scale it in PRC. It was only internal drama at FB and Google that killed the project. If anything TikTok has to bend backwards harder than US platforms to appease US gov because they don't know what "speech" triggers US politicians, whereas in PRC, western companies just had to say yes to censorship and access requests.
I am really curious to how much load the server have to handle in order to survive HNs hug of death
How are you using the Forth philosophy? Did you build your own, using another system?
Greetings HN community,
I've written an article narrating my recent endeavor with goMarkableStream, a tool I crafted to bridge gesture inputs from a reMarkable tablet to a web browser for seamless interactive presentations. This exploration led me down a path where the Unix philosophy and the Go language became pivotal elements.
Key highlights of the article:
A deep dive into using WebSockets versus HTTP for conveying gestures from a device to a browser, highlighting the trade-offs and practical considerations. An illustration of Unix's enduring principle, "everything is a file," in action - capturing touch events in a Linux-based environment and the strategic choice of Go for its simplicity and robustness. The issues and thought to design a bespoke messaging system over HTTP, moving away from the intricate layers of third-party libraries, in favor of a more transparent, hands-on approach. I try to place some reflections on the journey of tackling complexity with simplicity, echoing Rob Pike’s wisdom: “a little copying is better than a little dependency.”
hope you will enjoy the post
Are you using Forth day-to-day? And in what form?
Link to the shirt?
Also a huge amount of bitcoin (maybe up to 25%?) is immobile and likely lost. Including it in market cap calculations is inaccurate at best.
And with CMake, you also get a standard framework for testing, installing, packaging, and integrating external packages.

You are shooting your future self in the foot by going out of your way to use a handbuilt new framework.

It can still be valuable as a learning project.
The Musk hit pieces are as lowbrow and low-effort as the Trump ones.

Just because you have a hardon for Musk doesn't mean every midwit that writes an article about why they're so much smarter than him is saying something profound.
My dad preferred to work the night shift because it was less stressful at his workplace. He tried day shift a couple of times, but always ended up going back to nights by choice. For that reason, I have trouble agreeing with your suggestion, but I understand that you mean well.
Well, there can be some tips in the books, so I would not discount them. After all, we are reading those books to try to learn better. But yes, I agree, often we just have to suffer our way to greatness when learning :)

Not super common, but many people dream of having better jobs and there's few better jobs than software engineering in the US. It's harder to move to the US since Trump cracked down on immigration.
A key to tackling big projects is deciding which potentially desirable features have, in fact, measure zero?
How did the company end up exclusively use D un the backend?
"Busy" and "useful" are entirely different things. Maybe all that extra capability would be better spent elsewhere.
Is there support for it in both houses though? They reauthorize the patriot act every time for two decades.
Also because in the sea life is more volumetric. Most sea animals move through the water at least in one stage of their life. Most land animals just move over the ground. Not through the air.
Gotta love when people who don't know a thing about Musk beyond his eccentric public persona call him dumb.

Where is your rocket startup btw? Have you built anything of value? Employed cities worth of people?

Or were you an emerald mine and few government handouts short of wild success? Give me a break.
Most Germans I know in tech (lived in Germany for 5 years or so) would never want to move the US. Everyone prefers the Germany social security/insurance/pension system (even if it’s quite mediocre compared to The Netherlands and Scandinavia).
They just want to give free money to people, and expect that it will work our for all involved.
Sleep apnea and its treatment has nothing to do with whatever work of fiction you’ve invented here.
It is not common. Most Germans consider would never use the phrase "pursue a better life" when talking about the US. Quality of Life is in most European countries better including Germany.

There are however some who want "freedom". Not that they lack freedom in Germany but the spiritual cowboy style, rocky mountain lifestyle freedom. Another reason for migration are obviously job offers in some industries.
Gates is still one of the major stakeholder of MSFT. Combined with his previous position in MSFT, he probably has a good level of access to its long term strategy. Prediction of how OpenAI model will evolve is pretty essential information there?
> on Facebook or Reddit, you suddenly read a comment written by a veterinarian in Azerbaijan – someone who you would almost certainly never have met in real life and who is more different from you in every way than all the people you interact with as part of your daily routine.

that veterinarian may be more different than the people you see in everyday life, but the point of a social media bubble is that the veterinarian and you are likely to be very similar. Otherwise, why would you be on the same subreddit? How would you have met them on the internet if not because you were interested in common topics?
I've heard the hypothesis that many in the US elite saw the confrontation with USSR as being similar to the Punic wars. With US similar to Carthage being the sea/trading power and USSR similar to Rome being the land power - poorer, but highly militarized. This being one of the arguments for keeping the US military budget high, as one of the reason for Carthage destruction was it's elites had a lot of money, but didn't invest enough into army and navy.
At first my university use python for the basic programming course but halfway we integrated to dlang and we were really confused on what dlang actually is. The lack of tutorial and coming from the python language is really a challenge to learn D. We haven't gotten any big projects mostly just solving stuff in codeabbey (mainly because it's one of the only website that support D but we are maybe moving into codeforces because they recently added dlang support), all in all i'm still really confused like there's nowhere i can go sometime to ask about this but i've been trying to get back at c and it definitely helps

well wish me luck for my university course, i've been reading a lot of programming language before coming to college and i thought i had everything prepared but turns out life can really throw a curveball at you

P.S if you have any guide on how i can approach this let me know :)
*Yet.

Will be added in the upcoming revision: https://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1457

20 years ago it was a "BSD thing", but it seems to be more wide-spread these days; even my Alpine busybox system has it. I'm sure there are some platforms without it, but there are also platforms without some POSIX tools – it's never a guarantee.
This is prosumer. they have a consumer brand already: https://amplifi.com/
Sorry I thought we were talking about why federation will or wont succeed

success of reddit and facebook feel like counterexamples if they can offer for free the privacy controls that most people are satisfied by (you certainly have very little control over your subreddit or your discord - all your shit is plaintext and can get deleted tomorrow if the service provider determines their best interest diverges from yours)

I probably agree with you, in that if self hosted solutions were one click installs and modest cost they would be more popular, but I can't tell.
Run your own cloud (specifically OwnCloud). The setup takes effort, but afterwards it's easy. I run it on a microserver at home, with port forwarding for access.

All the benefits of "cloud", but you know where your data is. Do remember to make backups, but you need those for commercial services as well.
> Another example would be for browser testing via chromedriver.

That shouldn't be in your master image. Put your application in a container, and either just run your browser tests and point it at your dev/test/prod deployment, or build a second image with Chrome driver and the test scripts and point it at your deployed application.

Doesn't need to be multi-layer, and it doesn't need to be complex. You have essentially two apps here.
I have a version of `gron` which uses almost no RAM to parse files (uses the streaming JSON parser rather than loading the file.) Processed a 4GB JSON file on a Pi using it (admittedly, it took forever) taking, IIRC, about 64MB RAM tops.

`gron -u` is basically impossible to optimise unless you know the input is in "sorted" order (ie the order it comes out of `gron`, including the `json.a = {};` bits) in which case my code can handle that in almost no RAM also. But if it's not sorted or you're missing the `json.a = {};` lines, there's not a lot you can do since you have to hold the whole data structure in RAM.
COBOL is one end of the spectrum, hot bleeding edge tech is another. Pick a mature yet modern stack and it should be fine for longer.
I looked at some of their examples, such as " accumulative stone throwing" [1] and I don't get how this is a good example of "tool use". It seems like a very thin definition of the term. Maybe I don't understand anthropology and this is and any use of tools at all is bigger deal than it seems.

With QMK you don't have this issue since it runs on your keyboard
trouble with tubes is they look the same whether theyre idle or busy. I like relay compututers, since the clacking really is the computation, they're a step above LED indicating the state of transistors, since compute would happen with or without their indicating.
Don't conflate peer review with paid journals, they're very different things. The money received by paid journals doesn't go to the reviewers. The reviewers are mostly professors who have their own funding. I reviewed a paper recently; I certainly didn't get paid for it!

Some disciplines are switching to open access journals, meaning that anyone can read the articles for free, and there's no big publisher sucking up tons of money. But there's still peer review.
D is used in prod :) I don’t know a single company in Europe which uses Nim. And it is definitely an easier to pick up language.
Some people only get sunlight from stepping out of their tiny homes or basement offices to go work at the office.
I was early with Twitter and Facebook and became social media manager.

Hola uruguayo. Los amo, nunca cambien. Abrazo grande.
Same in Nim IIRC

Thats said, I am a huge fan of D and your work in general. Please keep creating awesome stuff!
I don't think those are the specific topics that ruined this subreddit. The moderators killed this subreddit: if you express a slightly different opinion than liberal left wing, you will be banned for being "not welcoming and create a bad mood". And you will be banned also to express any polite kind of criticism to all the minorities, except one: the catholics. For them, every insults is accepted.
The problem wasn't that he didn't care, but that he sunk his own private fortune made at Commodore into ATARI, and that ATARI was always teetering on the brink of bankruptcy. They never had enough money, it's amazing that they were able to produce anything at all! And the ST you describe was before Jack's time.
`gron` is super useful when you don't directly know the structure of some JSON - gives you a nice simple path to locate things you can then construct a `jq` query to deal with (since e.g. dealing with multiple items in the same list can be a faff with `gron`.)
Where did I assert there was more? I merely say that defaulting to materialism is not necessarily merited when you have so little evidence. I usually tend to take your stance, but nowadays I wish for more observations. Defaulting to materialism is a way of stopping creativity. We need more playfulness, is my claim. Its pure intuition, though, haven't done any research on it.
It stands out because of the multiplatform targets. There is nothing comparable as far as I know.

For the rest it's a very nice language with the usual tools.

The multiplatform part is probably why it's so popular with game developers, since you can target so many client plaforms with only one codebase.
You mean why work from home is better _for you_. Can't imagine most people have uninterrupted access to sunlight throughout the day. If we're using personal experiences, I certainly have never lived in a house or apartment where any of the rooms had that luxury.
It's been down at least since Sunday.
That's a simple phone CAPTCHA that can stop robocalls, but human spammers can easily bypass it, so you likely don't get such calls.

I think just sending all calls to voicemail and urging callers to leave a message if it's important should stop all spam. No human spammer will want you to call them back, and most of their numbers are spoofed, so you couldn't anyway.
Interesting, I couldn't really see any difference to before.
Minimally processed leaf extract? You make it sound like extracting cocaine is the equivalent to making sugar.
> English alphabet is based on Latin

There is no such thing as an English alphabet. English uses the modern Latin alphabet, as do most European languages, full stop. Some languages make use of diacritics or have one or two (extra) modified letters (e.g. Ł or IJ), but English doesn't use any of that (unless a word is imported).
With this kind of logic, you don't fix any security hole, because you can't fix them all at once.
I see it as problematic as you. Have two Sonos five and two Sonos one and think about switching to another product more often. But now i‘ve already spent so much money...

However, what should be used instead? I would take the boxes from Apple, but, as far as I know, they are also quite limited (only AirPlay).

Another example of the fact that such things should rather be expanded with open standards.

From my point of view, the best strategy for Sonos would be to be as open as possible.

> bet there's a heap of things you want to change on your car and you haven't: because you are a mainstream user

No. I want it to turn on and go. The less involved my car is in my life, and I with its existence, the better.
It is possible there are legitimate links (I lived and worked near the burn pits and those for sure messed up my respirstory system). But maybe more likely is because you get an automatic 50% disability rating from the VA when you’re diagnosed in service. It’s automatically presumed that if you had no diagnosis before that it is service connected. I.e. you developed it as a result of your service and therefore the VA will compensate you for it.

This means an extra $1-2 thousand per month for life in most cases. So there is this natural experiment where we have a population with a very high incentive to get tested compared to the baseline population.
Apple is definitely not “very flexible with this stuff”.

Can you quote the part in the article where the author states they're so much smarter than Musk?

What, exactly, makes you imagine I have a hardon?
Your work chat rooms are filled with discussion of reddit posts and tik-tok?

I just struggle to see how your strategy makes any sense or what the purpose of it even is.
I'm also using box2d for collisions and simple physics. And the rest is custom written.

No experience with other platforms yet. Probably iOS will follow at some point, but I want it to be more feature complete first.
That’s great. I didn’t realize the hiring was so frosty right now. Maybe I should dust off the startup pants.
The funny/annoying thing to me about flying Hawaiian is how every announcement ends with "mahalo"
The things I'm looking for in language syntax these days are

1. That it's unambiguous enough that my editor can format it correctly every time (provided the code is correct, obviously). Indentation-based languages like Python fail this.

2. That its elements and keywords are distinct enough that my editor can apply colours on it. I sometimes feel that S-expression languages fail at this because of their small number of distinct keywords, but that might not be true.

Besides these two points, if the language is not a joke language, it's probably fine.
Why would you use an entire config off the internet?
I don't know anything about nim.

One nice feature D has is you can:

import mycfile;

and your C functions and data will be available in your D code.

Because when those old buildings get destroyed (usually in a war, because they last forever), you would not find anybody in the west to be able to repair or re-erect it. You can only fly in specialists from there.

Such as the stonebridge from Mostar.
This is exactly what's happening. I never thought I'd make a positive comparison to twitter but twitter threw everyone into one big melting pot. People could block each other but by default they had to listen to a lot of differing opinions before they blocked anyone.

In fedi borders are being drawn and they're creating these little bubbles of opinions. So you know that within your border your opinion will never be challenged because the admin already took care of that for you.

If I were to find any glimmer of hope in that it would be that certain instances will be more inclusive and perhaps some borders will be drawn around that, but I'm not sure.

I actually ran a node since 2017 but left in 2022 because of this very reason.

> Reliability: with local storage it's on you to keep backups

With cloud storage it's still on you to keep backups, never forget that.

First, the cloud company may spontaneously lock you out forever with no recourse. You better have backups.

Even if that doesn't happen, they might lose your data. If you are a personal (non-commercial) account you very likely don't have any SLAs, so anything can happen. Even on commercial accounts, SLAs ultimately only provide liability, not a guarantee of service.

So it's always on you to have backups.
Not really. macOS until version 12 doesn’t have realpath(1), it was only added this year. You can’t rely on it for portable code.
No, I didn't think it would be that interesting. I tell the story from time to time when it's relevant. :)

I mean, my post above is pretty much all there is. We basically lived on that schedule until my daughter started online kindergarten. Then we made her roll out of bed at 8:38 to be online by 8:40.

There is still no replacement for email though. It still very much work today and is the only solution to send message over the Internet, regardless of the person you want to reach. Non federated networks will never reach the adoption of email.
This is a demonstration board for the bigger brother, UE-1. UE-1 will be driven by paper tape, though core memory keeps being discussed. I don't think they are considering delay lines -- might be too challenging/fiddly.
I remapped the numeric pad that I never use. I used AutoHotKey and mapped keys to bitwarden auto fill-in, a shortcut to Obsidian, to a launcher, etc.

They’re unicorns for being extremely stupid. I’ll give you that.
You are perhaps only looking at big history, as does the trope prescribe ;) Chances are that your native friends have a lot of small history to tell, and you might find it interesting.
I’m not sure what you mean by lumen lamp, but good old incandescent bulbs radiate with a spectrum quite close to that of the setting sun.
Should use $BASH_SOURCE in place of $0 so it works in files that are sourced.

The incantation at the top of all my scripts, that I learned from other HN folks, is:

SCRIPT_DIR="$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd )"

And I guess throw a realpath in there too for symlinks, per TFA.
I doubt the rental car system is complex. It was probably written decades ago and is now complete and bug-free. Keeping it running on a mainframe with emulated terminals is far cheaper than a modern rewrite, and the age/maintainability of their software is the least of their concerns.
A large fraction of UV radiation is blocked even by single pane glass.

If the 'health' benefit or bio signal for this effect, requires UV radiation then there is very little that can substitute being outside for 1 or 2 hours a day depending on the season.
Well there is also software... I really liked go-eCharger HOME+ 11kW, because it has 3-phase "European connector" and I can go almost anywhere in europe take it with me and charge there... I usually take it with me when I go to my parents so I don't have to stop on way at fast charger... Anyway.. I paid 650EUR, well above price of parts cost...
But mobile app and firmware keep getting updated and it keeps getting features like "charge from solar" better scheduler, also supports multiple chargers to limit total amps...
