I wished I could do my instruments justice. I've re-vamped an older (70's) electronic organ that had super nice keyboards, the electronics were shot so I midified it and then stuck GrandOrgue in it on a little touch screen PC. It sounds way better than the $500 or so that it cost (as good as the sample set ;) ).

Yes, true and false with AND and XOR form a mathematical ring [0]. Still, OR is also an additive operation. IMO one could give OR and XOR the same precedence.

On the other hand, there is no strict need to have a dedicated boolean XOR operator, as it works the same as = (equals).

> due to the laws of thermodynamics, not be 100% transparent.

How useful is this statement though? Regular glass isn't 100% transparent either, even in just the visible spectrum. Shouldn't we be more concerned with the delta in the visible spectrum is if we're concerned about easy identification? (before mentioning that plenty of glass is purposefully tinted and dynamic tinting is an application here) And reasonably, couldn't we, theoretically, pick up a decent signal from simply capturing the reflections around the glass edge? I mean we can now do 3D reconstructions from pointing a camera at a mirrored ball. I'm sure it'd be very noisy, but there is signal. I mean to have the capability of projecting you'd have the ability to do the reverse too given that I doubt the internal structure of the glass would be (that) directionally dependent. Right? I can be missing something, it's been awhile since I've done optics.
Thanks for the link!

To add to it: I guess this all hinges on what 'positive' means. Christ, I sound just like Socrates now, don't I? Glad it's Friday.

I was born in 1955, so I was around 40 when the Internet became a thing for everyday people (however, I was very much online before that...BBSs, CompuServe, QuantumLink, even exchanging email via UUCP).

We still have a Thomas Guide on our bookshelf. Just in case Apple Maps goes away.

This article doesn't mention carrying around paper planners, pocket calendars or little paper phone books, but Daytimers were a big thing when I was in college, followed by Filofaxes a few years later.

For finding things to do, there were community bulletin boards...literally cork boards you could pin a flyer about your event to. They were in grocery stores, coffee shops, etc. And telephone poles in heavily-trafficked areas were often covered with flyers for concerts, lectures, rallies, and babysitting opportunities, among other things. A lot of organizations had phone trees, where a group of people called a few other people, who called a few other people, etc. Churches were (and in many cases still are) major community hubs, not only for members of their congregations but for other community groups that used their facilities. Also, since newspapers were ubiquitous, community calendar columns and classified ads (anyone remember those?) were very common.

You got to know people through things you did...school, church, work, neighbors, extended family. There were a lot of fraternal organizations, especially for men, like the Elks and Moose lodges (these really expanded after WW2, and shrank as that generation started to die off). My dad's best friend for decades was the fellow he partnered with in the late 1950s-early 1960s to write one of Boeing's first computerized accounting systems; their kids were almost like cousins to us.

The now-lost art of letter writing was a big deal as well. I wrote to a cousin quite a bit, but I also spent time with a girl my age at a state park one summer, and we exchanged letters several times a year for around a decade.

Finally, if you were bored standing in line waiting for something...that's what paperback books were for.
I always wondered if you can buy a plane ticket where it shows the manufacturer/type of airplane that will be used for the flight. Anybody has some insight?
You can check the rated cycle counts for most Macbooks on the following Apple Support page:

Most recent Macbooks should last for 1000 full cycles. Though I'm pretty sure you can brick your battery quickly by keeping it at 100% charge all the time or if you use it in a very hot environment.
Arc Roam is my holiday project this Christmas. I wanted to create an online, browser-based, mobile-playable "destilled" alternative to the old classic PC game Elastomania, (and it's unofficial multiplayer mod Elma Online). I used to play Elma religiously, but it stopped working on Mac (via Wine) last year, so hopefully I now have a way of getting my fix again! Now all I need is someone to complete against :)

I think it's because the scammy techniques allow lower apparent princes. People who shop by price will end up at the scammy gym. Maybe people are sensitive to price when it comes to gyms, and/or the true cost of a gym membership is too high for almost anyone.

People who don't want to admit the cost is too high are perfect targets because they also don't want to admit they will want to cancel in the future. I, uh, am talking about a friend of mine, of course.

I think the "Gulag" label is a bit hyperbolic, but that's because Gulags were forced labor camps, whereas Gaza under the blockade has had extremely high unemployment due to the severely hamstrung economy. The "open-air prison" description that others have used seems close to being correct, however.

I think you tried to engage in goal-post moving, by arguing that Israel has not "occupied" Gaza following the "disengagement", which is not directly tied to the "Gulag" label you were disagreeing with. While I think the claim that Israel was not occupying Gaza during this period is literally true, this is only because international legal definitions of occupation have multiple specific requirements. Though Israel was not stationing soldiers inside the territory, and was not running a sole government in the territory, it has still had enormous control. Imposing a blockade by sea, air and land for years on end, and continuously imprisoning Palestinians without charge or trial, is technically not "occupation", but it is an enormous projection of state force over a territory that Israel claimed was not in its control. Perhaps it's not "occupation" as defined in international law -- fine. So let's come up with a new word for it, but continue to recognize it as abusive.

In that context, talking about the rights of women and gays inside Gaza seems like bad faith whataboutism; if Israel cared about their rights and equality, it could let women and queer people living in Gaza leave.
Mega-gyms are pretty terrible. I've never been to a 24 Hour Fitness, LA Fitness, or Gold's Gym that wasn't a sea of equipment hoggers, broken machines, random dirty towels, occupied lockers, and screens with CNN or daytime TV on. What's even more strange is how willing people are to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for an Equinox membership. The rationale is that paying that much upfront keeps you motivated to make your payment worthwhile, but both people I know who've made this mistake ended up going only a few times before giving up.

Smaller neighorhood gyms are so much better, let you cancel any time, and don't make you talk to a sales-bro when signing up.
I mean I can understand the argument, but is there any good counterfactual evidence to this? I'd wager the stronger effect be from simple peer pressure and wanting to fit in (don't have strong evidence either, so I'll admit to that). I mean Apple has spent a lot of marketing on aligning their products to social status and let's be real, people do associate Android phones with being cheaper. So I hear the claim, I'm just not ready to buy it without good evidence and more importantly, that this outweighs the benefits of the "free work" (especially given that there are other mechanisms to get said desired outcome).
I have used iStat Menus for a couple of hours and it made a sizable dent on my battery life, so I uninstalled it right away. macOS is a bit sensitive about being woken up constantly. Maybe it won’t be a problem on a desktop machine, but running these on Mac laptops is not free.

Note that iStat Menus have its own set of daemons it uses for keeping tabs on system usage. It doesn’t just hook to the kernel via interfaces and display stats.

I mean, such an epic proof would bias one to think that the world is rational. Spending that much time in logic-land would do that to anyone.

I think that his assumption that: 'meaning' and 'causation' are the same thing, is similarly tied to his works. For someone like Godel, I'd imagine that he has no conception that they could be different.
The integrated GPUs Intel and AMD are shipping don't really have enough performance to be worth the trouble, and the configs that support 100+ GB of RAM and have integrated GPUs don't have much memory bandwidth (running at speeds like 6400MT/s is a lot harder with multiple ranks of memory).

They took the factory schedule 8h/day and they applied it to office work which is bs. Office work should be 4h/day.

They did the same when people switched from agriculture to factory work. People were working in factories as if they were working the fields, from sunrise to sunset. Only later did they gain the "right" to only work 8h.

For me this is the real reason that drives people away from IT.

Although I agree, most times where I mix any of these without parentheses I end up having to explain it either in code review or when somebody does a `git blame` a couple months later. Rather than waste everyone's time explaining it, it's easier to just use the parentheses since it's what many/most people expect and everyone else can read it well enough.
I constantly get the formatting wrong, and need to edit posts or comments.

Exactly. I'd argue there's still quite a gap between the PC/console and mobile markets. Mobile games aren't bad, per say, they just feel like they're optimized for revenue extraction vs entertainment. As an example, look at the expectations around big franchises when they launch mobile titles, e.g. Diablo: Immortal or C&C: Legions.

I see your point though. Steam's quality has been getting less and less consistent, particularly when it comes to early access titles. Maybe a better example would have been NSFW Steam games: a monotonous landscape devoid of originality sold for a few bucks a pop.
The only operators with precedence between & and && are ^ and |, though. In e.g. the expression from the sibling comment, `a & b == c`, writing & or && doesn't make any difference (aside from short-circuiting). I guess it's an issue if you write & instead of && in an expression that also involves a bitwise-OR (or | instead of || in an expression that also involves logical-AND), but that seems quite rare. I expect that reversing the precedence of the bitwise and logical operators would create problems a lot more often.
The breakdown came from trying to crush their engineering organization for costing too much/being unionized — and particularly firing the mid-career engineers, who would by now be the missing senior/principal engineers.

A good history article, but marred by advertorial:

Just in time for Christmas, traditionally a great time for card games, a famous pack – created in 1910 by Arthur Waite and Pamela Colman Smith – is being reissued by Taschen

Since the models have a limited context size, you pre-process a bunch of data that might be related to the task (documentation, say) and generate a semantic vector for each piece. The when you ask a question, look up just the few pieces that are semantically most simlar and load them into the context along with the question. Then the LLM can generate a new answer with the most relevant pieces of data.
The built-in option is a step in the right direction, but doesn't provide any way for a user to specify that the battery doesn't need to be charged to 100% if the OS thinks it needs to be. In my experience, it usually ends up charging the battery 100% every night, then letting it discharge to 80% during the day.
Violence or the believable threat of violence is unfortunately the only way to resolve a conflict between A and B when there is no third party C that can enforce a decision between A and B.

For example, national laws only work when backed by a credible threat of violence. Arresting people and forcing them to live in a prison or getting executed for breaking a law is an act of violence carried out by all governments.

Any gym owners can chime in? My local gym seemed pretty normal this January so far (but I am in Australia where many people book their holidays during forced shutdown periods).

Also the gym seems to have the same pricing whenever except sometimes there is “no joining fee” which is a weird thing to me but hey?

My gym is independent.

A famous world brand of gym I used to belong to seemed to make their money by making it very hard to leave (contract, and when the contract runs out hard to get through to the right person, and combined with uncancelable direct debits in Australia) it was a pain to quit. It that might be the DD that made me just close the bank account.

Show HN: Pure todo: a quite simple PHP SQLite todo app, feedback?
Hey HN,

I recently had the problem that none of the existing self-hosted todo apps was simple enough for my purpose, so I thought I'd develop my own (pure todo).

https://github.com/sandreas/pure-todo

Despite having yet another todo app with the next best JavaScript framework, I decided to go for a learning project / feasibility study to use as little dependencies as possible. That basically means: Vanilla PHP, Vanilla JS and Vanilla CSS (except the qrcode lib and the icon fonts).

So here it is, lots of rough edges and missing or unfinished features, but usable and at least I learned something :-)

Maybe someone finds the time to provide some feedback.

Thanks.

You didn't buy a full license to their software. You bought a phone that is a complete package. What entitles you to try to install their software on stuff they don't want it on or didn't build it to supprt?

Do you want them to spend money developing iOS for other devices, just so you can take that for free and install it on an Android?

You knew the rules before you pulled out your wallet.

For iMessage - they run a service that costs money. Why should they just give it out for free? Sure, they give it to their customers for free, but why does that mean you get it too?

It would be like sneaking into a complimentary hotel breakfast. Sure, you managed to grab someone's keycard - you technically can get past the restrictions. Still eating food someone else paid for. Just because you have friends eating already and you want to join them doesn't make it right.
The Ada language requires explicit parentheses in the case of a succession of different logical operators precisely to avoid precedence-related bugs. [0]

The “high-end” PA Class D amplifiers (the kind of thing that is used in clubs on Ibiza and such things) have feedback loop and the feedback loop is closed in purely analog domain around the whole Class D amplifier, alternatively one can look at that as an giant SMPS with large slew rate, which is what that is (there is a bunch of anecdotal evidence around the losses in the output reconstruction/low-pass filters that apparently can reach temperatures that the solder melts, which is kind of problematic when in the chassis the board is mounted components down).

Issue with doing what I tried to do and FPGAs is that the overall architecture of this kind of DSP is perfect example of a thing that does not match the FPGA architecture. It boils down to ridiculously long shift register, few bits per tap of parameter data and reducing tree for the result, ie. most of that is ridiculous amount of 1bit SRAM cells.

And well, in the end I realized that idea, in not-even-that-fast-for-the-time ARM11TDMI and software and 24b samples at 96kSps (both of which is realistically a total overkill for this application), but without the DSD input (in theory the code that produced the output can be inverted and used to convert DSD to some sane representation, but well, I did not really care)

> Huh? What emergency? You will always have solar on your roof. I think in emergencies, gas will run out much quicker than electricity?

You're assuming having solar on your roof (most people still don't) but more importantly, assuming an emergency where you get to stay home.

For example when we had to evacuate due to California wildfires a few years ago, we left the EV behind. Doesn't have enough range to be a good evacuation car and who knows how busy charging stations were going to be with everyone doing the same.

We have gas cars too so no big deal. But having only an EV in such an emergency would be scary.

Of course it was, and still is. It’s done less privately now because the funds that would be given to private resources are confiscated before they can be given. An excellent example: Catholic charities.
