I'm not sure it's true exactly - OSS had email as one type of messaging, and IRC as another. The problem is that email lacks instant-ness (and for a long time you couldn't send larger files as attachments), and IRC lacks, or lacked, rich functionality.

Messaging seems to just require more hardware, so the significance of whether the software is OSS or not is reduced.

this should read '- there's a lea instruction (lda)'

also it reads like i think it's weird that it has 5 formats, which isn't what i meant

apparently in 01989 you needed to pay about US$450 for a processor and US$650 for each cache/mmu chip, and you did need two of them as i had inferred from the datasheet, which made it a rather pricey building block
>Another maybe related question is, where have all the social networks gone? It used to be that people wrote about their life on the internet and other people read it.

That fell out of favor when too many people's lives or relationships or employment were ruined by this. People are more savvy now and know the risks of posting their personal info on the internet for the world to see.
I'm going to start writing more, again. I'm definitely stealing this one, “2086© (so I don't forget to change the year) From Jason.”
The problem was that the JSON parsing code was doing exceptionally stupid things in the first place (like calling scanf), which doesn't matter on small JSON files used in testing but exploded in production once that JSON file was growing to several MBytes. Just dropping in a different JSON parser library was probably enough to fix the problem on R*'s side.

Reading as a mass culture phenomenon is absolutely not thousands of years old and mass literacy didn't exist in a lot of places a mere century or two ago. Even today, you'd be surprised at how most people have very basic literacy skills.

And on a cognitive level reading is superior to video or sound.

I'm pretty skeptical of that claim, but even if it's true, it doesn't really matter if reading is better than watching a video if people prefer to watch videos.

I also specifically said it's not an issue of impatience, but rather a fundamental shifting of media formats.
It's like saying, I hope the new pop music trends that all the kids are listening to dies out, and 80s rock becomes cool again. It just isn't gonna happen.
Add in anything that’s even remotely related to intelligence or defence which is typically just filled with qanon style nonsense. I’ve noticed it for years as well, you aren’t wrong.
I think Web N isn't about the actual tech being used, it's about the way the tech is being used and how it interacts with the real world and our society. Web 1 was HTML informational web sites, maybe some chat rooms and games here and there but not much affect on the real world. Web 2 was/is the "web app" where you can transact various business online, and group into communities and stuff and which is well integrated into our lives. Web 3, I think, is currently being formed and I have no idea what it is, but whomever can figure that out will be the first nrillionaire or whatever. The tech itself is just all the same if/else statements in a different order.
I think it's just numbers. Us internet users used to be a minority, and in a very short time a huge influx of new users came online through apps.

So relatively if you look at the numbers no one is using websites anymore, but I'd be willing to bet that some of us old internet users still use the internet much as we used to.

The websites I still visit are mostly old message boards.

And of course I visit a lot of blogs but they're always linked from a message board. I don't subscribe to any blogs but that's just personal preference, I never did before either.
You're missing the forest for the trees. I don't want to download a bunch of crap so that I can avoid seeing other crap. Eventually the providers will find a way around the crap I installed with more crap, you get the idea.

It is the world we live in, dominated by advertising at every nook and cranny that is disturbing.
I've worked on some companies that used Carta.
In some of them, I had access to cap table, preferences, total raised debt, etc.
In others, I could see only my number of options and their strike price.
Is up to the company how much they want to share, Carta can be used on both ways.
Yeah, I think it's noteworthy that the times in history we view as high water marks in terms of personal websites are also the times in history we had really good aggregators/navigation tools for personal websites. I think in absolute terms we aren't significantly worse off than in the '90s when "surfing the web" was so big there were printed magazines dedicated to the passtime.

On the flip side, it doesn't matter how many great websites there are if you can't find them. If we want a thriving ecosystem of smaller and more personal websites, then it needs discovery tools.

My efforts with Marginalia Search, wiby.me, ooh.directory, neocities; it's all a decent start, but I think we can do even better.
I don’t think that means what you think it means.

Taking care to remove liquid from the port just as well makes sense simply because you do not want to have water in there when you plug the phone in and water in ports just doesn’t dry as easily as water on some surface.

In practice iPhones are (like nearly all modern phones) extremely water resistent and very unlikely to be water damaged by exposure to water or even immersion in water.

Phones are quite durable. Exposure to water is always a risk, obviously (so is any handling of an untethered phone in the presence of hard surfaces) but I would argue it‘s one you can reasonably take.

For my personal risk tolerance I sometimes rinse my phone in running water (taking care not to directly point the running faucet at any of the openings of the phone), I generally don’t worry about spills (so the phone might be on the kitchen counter where spills are likely) and I also took it out into the sea to take some photos (but did not submerge it).

Article briefly mentions Sagan’s response and then ignores it throughout the remainder of the article because…time has passed since it was posed?

In general, the article seems to have an agenda of getting to the zoo hypothesis via process of elimination. But it fails to eliminate Sagan’s response, which is that simply not having detected signs of life isn’t sufficient evidence to rule out life whether it is intentionally hiding from us or not.

I don’t know. In terms of getting to the bottom of things this article reads more like wish fulfillment for a science fiction trope. It gets close to a genuine exploration of the history of SETI, but poses too many fallacious arguments in its conclusion.
The iPhone is full of water detector stickers inside and they do reject warranty claims if water got in. They say you must have done something you shouldn't have if that happens, like diving deep or something.

They will even refuse to install a new battery if you pay them.
No, Web 2.0 was coined mostly off the back of XMLHttpRequest which enabled reloadless interactivity.

Then Web 3.0 was coined by a bunch of crypto grifters who tried to inherit credibility by extending the x.0 numbering scheme.

Think of it in the context of why you send out a resume in the first place. Contrary to how it might seem, it is not to get you a job - nobody is going to read every word and get all excited about every detail and then bump you to the top of their list.

Instead, it is about getting you an interview. You want them to be able to skim the resume, see some good chunks of potential in it, and want to know more. That way, they will call you.

A long resume is going to have too much detail to make those highlights stand out. Your content will fight with itself to get the reader's attention. It is going to make someone sorting through a (sometimes literal) pile of resumes just think, "I don't have the energy for this" and throw your resume out.

Think of it for what it is - marketing. Get someone's attention, show them you can solve their problems, and make them think: "I should call this person."

Just commenting on your timelines. They are a bit on the short side considering the rapid pace of technology.
Part of me has the same concerns, as I love books and think reading is critical. However, I also realize that reading and books are a technology that has developed through history, like anything else, and that a yet-unseen format of the future (that incorporates video, text, audio, etc.) may be more effective than reading. I don't actually think reading is a great way of communication, it's more just evolutionarily fit compared to speech.
Yeah, our military says HIMARS are pretty much done due to the russian EW. By dragging this war, the US gave russians the opportunity to learn and battle test their solutions against HIMARS.

Excaliburs are on a much different level though. Word is, you don't need much EW at all. You merely have to give them a strong look and that's enough to drive it way off course.
It also creates a world of nearly unlimited consumption, and the majority of the userbase is on the consumption side, not the publishing side.
For the lazy who just want to know if this makes Python faster yet, this is foundational work to enable later improvements:

> The initial benchmarks show something of a 2-9% performance improvement.

> I think that whilst the first version of this JIT isn’t going to seriously dent any benchmarks (yet), it opens the door to some huge optimizations and not just ones that benefit the toy benchmark programs in the standard benchmark suite.
> The initial benchmarks show something of a 2-9% performance improvement. You might be disappointed by this number, especially since this blog post has been talking about assembly and machine code and nothing is faster than that right?

Indeed, reading the blog post build much higher expectations
The point is that ants don't comprehend any other animals, neither those more nor those less complex than them, nor even those as complex as them (beetles). In contrast, we have at least some comprehension of all other animals on Earth that we've found. So, there is a fundamental difference between us and ants that makes the analogy not likely to hold.

It's far more plausible we could have some comprehension of even a very advanced civilization than not. For us to not be able to comprehend them, they would have to entirely be using physics we don't understand at all. Not physics we know + physics we don't, but only physics we don't know about. Which, given how much of low energy physics we understand to great deals of precision, seems extraordinarily unlikely.

The web of today has evolved to a product placement platform. It's optimised for finding quick up-to-date reviews of the next laptop you're considering buying. Old content becomes irrelevant and flows to the sewage pipe into oblivion. Social media users are building their "personal brand" and value proposition to their next employer/business partner.
If you strictly mean pure software for "UX", then I agree. However, for electronics from the 80s and 90s, Japanese audio/visual hardware (especially Sony) was amazing for UX design. Albeit, the screen was limited to a small LED screen, but the combination of buttons and menus was impressively designed.
I'm not attached to meat. I'm attached to me and mine. I feel like there's an important distinction there.
The bit everyone wants:

> The initial benchmarks show something of a 2-9% performance improvement.

Which is underwhelming (as mentioned in the article), especially if we look at PyPy[0]. But it's a step forward nonetheless.

Part of what cannot be determined here is what long term costs Shoreline will face when its (relatively new) infrastructure starts to fail. Those are the kinds of costs Seattle is facing now with its stormwater projects, and its failing bridges. "old bridge suddenly collapsing" doesn't show up in a year's budget proposal, but rather it shows up in next year's proposal under "unexpected costs", but really, everyone knew the bridge was going to fall down soon, so how unexpected was it?

Though compared to Seattle, Shoreline isn't going to have as much of a "random bridges falling down" problem. :-D

But that aside, I did notice this

> In fact, much more would be saved if Shoreline School District got its costs under control, to the level of my private school in Seattle.

Public schools cost more to operate because they have to serve everyone, including those with special needs and learning disabilities. They have to help feed children who do not have enough food, and they are expected to have after school programs from children that do not have a safe place to go home to (which, given how early schools get out, is honestly a problem for many families, public or private school).

As more children from (comparatively) wealthy go to private schools, the average cost of schooling the kids in public schools actually goes up, as a larger % of the kids left need extra help and support.

> The other half is building new sidewalks.

I am happy that the residents in Shoreline have finally decided to stop running over pedestrians! But seriously, Shoreline needs more sidewalks, it'll honestly add a lot to property values there.

> Second, if the argument is that low density makes the infra spend untenable, you need to compare the spend to the hypothetical spend in the alternate universe where the density is higher. In that universe, we'd still spend on infrastructure, though maybe somewhat less

There would also be a lot more revenue per given square mile. You could take my Seattle neighborhood and 2x the density w/o much harm to the "feel" of the neighborhood. If you 3x it, now you can add tons of commercial activity, allow small business owners to actually live close to their business (why does my barber have to drive in to work? Oh because zoning makes living in Seattle absurd), and cities start to actually make money.

The economics of dense cities are incredibly different, and they start a virtuous cycle that works out really well for everyone. Sadly America shut down all the goodness when we added strict zoning laws.

Also where the heck are you spending only 11k on private school? The non-religious private schools in Seattle that I looked at cost 30-40k. (Heck the at home daycare we use right now costs over 25k a year!)

In the modern digital era, having a mobile presence is crucial for businesses and individual creators alike. This article delves into how one can create an iOS app without any programming knowledge, specifically using the platform WebToApp.app. The core idea is to demonstrate that converting a website into an iOS app and publishing it on the App Store is both feasible and cost-effective, even for those without iOS programming skills.

You’re assuming the AI works and does what you expect. Neither of those are reasonable assumptions.

Everything has an opportunity cost. To be beneficial AI has to be better than the status quo to be. In aviation that’s a much higher bar than “not nothing”. It has to be better than the time saturation flight crews already experience.
I’d be much more inclined to believe that analysis if we were to look at this as a single thing but the moment you look at the consistency of their decisions that they have made regarding the web as a platform it’s close to impossible to impartially come to that same conclusion.
That’s rude.

Show HN: Extension that plays only the audio, blocking the video, on YouTube
I have made a browser extension that plays only the audio, blocking the video on YouTube, YouTube Music and all embedded YouTube videos in third party sites. It can also hide the thumbnails and avatars and skip the ads. It is compatible with Chrome, most of the Chromium browsers and Firefox. Additionally, it can be installed in smartphones using the Kiwi browser that supports extensions from the Chrome Web Store. I released the extension back in October, 2019 but from now the source code is available on GitHub as well.

They acquired 3com before that and integrates those switches into their Procurve line at the time. I think that was 2005 or so?
> Unless you have a data.frame that is all numeric, but in that case one should probably be using a matrix in the first place.

They still have their advantages with row/column labels, NaN handling etc. These are not operations I am speculating about by the way. I am most familiar with pandas and the dataframe there has transpose, dot product operations and almost all column operations have their correspondence in rows (i.e. you either sum(axis=0) or sum(axis=1)).
The terminal velocity of an iPhone is around 25-30mph. Past a certain height, it doesn't matter how high up the device is.

Dropping an iPhone out at 16,000ft is probably the same as throwing it off a tall building. I'd imagine a 3 or 4 storey building would be enough to reach terminal velocity.
IT is also one of the easiest to disrupt by industrial action. Immagine a Go-Slow in Amazon for example. Lol

This is and interesting, and very American, point of view.

In Europe all countries have tuition free universities, in Denmark people even get a government stipend of ~1000 USD/month by the government. And yet, there is availability on most programmes (like computer science)

It seems like the market powers do not apply for American universities? When tuition (demand) surges, it should be profitable to expand supply (new unis, added seats on programmes, hire more staff).

Regardless, the supply seems quite inflexible?

Though it is convenient to blame the government for supporting the ones most in need (young people starting their careers) it seems to be more appropriate to blame structural issues that inhibit the creation of supply – which is also very anti-American.
The MD merger is the reason quality nosedives. Management is responsible for ensuring a robust quality culture. If (if!) a few DEI trainings are enough to destroy that quality culture, then something is very wrong at Boeing anyway, and it was only a question of time.

But of course, the parent comment isn't made in good faith. The 737 MAX crashes happened end 2019-2020, and Boeing didn't release its first-ever diversity report more than a year later:

As for why it didn't nosedive immediatly after the merger, these kind of bankruptcies tend to happen "Gradually, Then Suddenly".

Because enough users find the performance sufficient.
a propos the Lord Dunsany thing - I just wait for 2027 no big thing, the big thing for me is when I think I know something is public domain spend some time to start on it and realize no wait - maybe it isn't. For example I was sure Dunsany was public, I saw he was I started and then I happened to come across a notice that it might not be. I was surprised - I thought he died in the 1940s.

In the context of reusing parts of movies it is difficult to figure out if it is in PD or not because the +70 years applies to major creators - is that director, producer, major actor?

I have a great use for Beat The Devil - that's in public domain in U.S because copyright not renewed - but not sure if that is really the case in European countries. Everything I do to research suggests it is - but... it's too much of a mess to realistically be absolutely certain. Probably is because surely the copyright must have been owned by United Artists so 70 years from 2023 at worst - maybe... but I mean John Huston died in 1987, in some places it was released in 1955 - so if 70 years from public release that's 2025? If 70 years from Huston's death forget about it.
> It’s about letting someone become an expert in your software.

This is brilliantly said. Watching someone, who does not think that they are technical, zoom around Excel is always special to watch.

> Microsoft office was always his example.

The Microsoft UI design rules are pretty amazing. The consistency over the years allows people to upgrade every 1-2 years and continue to use their software. (I do not write this a Microsoft fanboi.) The key for each upgrade: Incremental changes to improve the UX. One thing I never understood: When Win 95 introduced the concept of "right click everywhere for properties (and deeper settings/details)", why didn't the design team reject it? After all, it is invisible to user (to indicate right click is possible). It seemed like no one understood right click the first few times they used Win 95.
Because the reason why Python is one of the world's most popular language (a large set of scientific computing C extensions) is bound to every implementation details of the interpreter itself.
