In the interpreter, I don’t think it wouldn’t reduce overhead much, if at all. You’d still have to recognize the two byte codes, and your interpreter would spend additional time deciding, for most byte code pairs, that it doesn’t know how to combine them.

With a compiler, that part is done once and, potentially, run zillions of times.
The presence of social media means you hear of a lot more attempts than before. Russia used to only announce its successes and none of their failures in space. In making anything new, the only way to truly make it is to try a lot and the failures tell you the US tries at scale. Decline comes when you stop trying.

There's a phenomenon where a lot of tech types begin treating discussions and conversations as adversarial pursuits instead of collaborative exchanges. I definitely recognize that behavior in young me.

It has a side benefit of being a subtle intelligence signal if you're the "what about" person, i.e. "I saw the gap/flaw that OP missed, therefore smarter".

This, I think, is an "I'm smart" feedback loop that promotes more of the same behavior. It's a powerful motivator when you're on sites and boards also populated by ostensibly smart people. No one wants to be the dumb one. So you start to get wrapped up in being the bug finder/doubt-conjurer/"what about"-er.

Enough time goes by with those types being uncorrected and you wind up with comment sections that just turn into TTFC (time to first complaint) races, often by people with no practical experience in a domain save a quick wikipedia search or who don't even read tfa but boy howdy they've sure got some thoughts about that field as a "science" and gosh i can't wait to read them.

Of course this is all just an old man grumbling out a theory on a Tuesday. I'm not sure how to fully solve it and doubt there's a general solution. For myself, I was eventually broken of shitty habits like that through what would probably now be considered bullying. Gotta say though; sometimes it works. Sometimes your brain needs its ass kicked into realizing you're a smart cookie but you're not the smartest, and that's okay.
Holy crap the example footage on Wicked's site looks so good! I'm blown away.
But SpaceX is a private company. Sure, we can argue the environment of America produces more such companies than anywhere else but at the end of the day it's a man with billions of dollars dragging a country to space.

It makes no sense that the government equivalent is NASA and each launch is expensive and slow. The US govt is seeking contracts with a private entity because NASA simply does not have the ability to go to space quick and cheaply.
We have done amazing space missions over the last couple decades with mind-blowing discoveries; they just weren't manned. As far as manned spaceflight, Artemis 1 was a complete success two years ago. Artemis 2 will launch with people at the end of this year or early next year. We are waiting on multiple companies to complete their part of what will become Artemis 3, when we actually land. I'm not sure that the average person even knows that SpaceX is part of Artemis 3, and the entire project is being drowned out by Elon's nonsense.

I think you are just seeing more noise, but not less signal. There is so much work being produced now, and so much of it is worthless that it can appear as though we no longer know what we are doing.

> asked what my shares I was leaving behind were worth

I always decline to answer these questions by saying "it's not relevant; I'd like to be compensated according to my background/experience and the role". If there's a specific number I'm looking for, I'll also ask for that. But I'd never directly answer the "what was your last salary/comp?" question.
Per capita matters too. The total hasn't decreased but hasn't increased either considering that. Besides the 30% inflation, there was also ~10% population growth in the ten years. The nominal 40% dollar value is entirely accounted for by those. US manufacturing is entirely stagnant in real terms per capita.
Not sure any large government contractor can really be described as privately funded. If Europe had the same level of defense funding it might look very different there, too.
Both sides have to be consistent. If they lump all the app stores together to make an argument just about phones, for example, that won’t fly with judges.

Kind of tired of things like this dropping into our software and no one really knows definitively what it is, what it's for, how it might be used, etc. My mac is mine, I paid handsomely for it, I'd like Apple to treat it like it is mine.

It's like someone walking into your house and installing a little block box in the corner of the room and walking out, and maybe later on they'll let you know what they're doing with this device but maybe not.

This will be my last mac unfortunately, which is a pity because I do love the hardware.

The most notable moment on the European front took place somewhere on the Eastern Front (choose your pick between Moscow December 1941, Stalingrad ‘42-‘43, Kursk in July of ‘43, Operation Bragaton the following summer), in fact it was on the Eastern Front where the Germans lost 80% of their men and hence where they were defeated for good.

For comparison, the Omaha beach operation only had beteeen 2000 and 5000 losses for the US, which, while tragic for the people involved, is dwarfed by almost any big serious battle that had taken place further East.
Nitpicking a bit, but Gell-Mann amnesia isn't that. Its about generally trusting newspapers/journalists and then reading an article about a theme you're familiar with. Then you realize that the journalist is full of it and got things completely wrong. By turning the newspapers page you start reading an article about something you're not familiar with. You immediately forget the BS from the page before and continue reading (probably same sort of BS) from another journalist but this time you're again trusting the newspapers as some kind of good source of truth.

I've butchered the explanation, but its described much better here:

PS I've seen this effect many times in my life first hand and its frankly astonishing how much power some journalists wield and some don't even know it.

In the modern digital age, countries all over the world are catching up at incredible speeds. One thing the US has is a moat on existing prebuilt technologies and supply chain lines, i.e. military equipment and gas but new technology threatens that at any time.

For example, look at the frivolous spending of the US on it's superior military budget and its belief it is the strongest military in the world. Meanwhile there are a growing number of people highly concerned that in a modern war with drones and technology, the expensive US technology would be quickly overwhelmed and defeated by cheaper technology that were not accounted for in the last few decades i.e. UAVs + AI.
According to a comment on the issue, the page output is "<!DOCTYPE html>%", and that suspiciously looks like some template / placeholder evaluation might not be doing its jobs properly.
Yes, the EU. It forces Apple to allow sideloading - that means installing apps with no restrictions, from any sources such as any random website. A store is just an app, thus there will be no way for Apple to force alternative stores to anything.

There doesn't even need to be a person that could be held responsible, or they could be easily masked behind anonymity of the web or layers of white horses / phished identities.

Yup, there's no question that one can find innovative edge-cases such as this.

But they are just that, edge cases. And they will stay that way.

If a case like this were to become the main use of cryptocurrency, it would be a travesty, as it would be better to not burn the excess energy for hash-searching but to innovate better distributed storage-retrieval at that scale.

I may be wrong, but I think when Torvalds created it, he envisioned an email based workflow using patch files.

This happens with guitars, cars, houses…any item which has both historical and function value.

The original owner of the item makes numerous small changes and repairs over decades which preserve and improve the functionality.

They finally sell it off to a collector who reverts all the changes, degrading the functionality in order to restore some notion of authenticity. And sometimes they go further, fixing “mistakes” made by the factory.

In this case, the functionality of a Z80 is so ridiculously outdated and obsolete that I suppose authenticity (and nostalgia) is really the only point.
This is still apples to oranges, but I'll bite.

There's no equivalent to JLCPCB in the USA, only in China.

There are no legions of pre-packed pick-and-place machines in the USA that are hooked up to internet orders so that a machine handles nearly the entire process from PCB-manufacturing to PCB-Assembly / Pick-and-place, and then shipped out to you for less than $100.

Seriously: checkout the PCB and Assembly prices here: https://jlcpcb.com/

Yes, there's some degree of low wages going on here. But there's *ALSO* benefits to scale. Internet-scale production and centralization means they can take orders and achieve efficiencies completely impossible in the USA right now.

Now as EEs (be it hobbyist or professional), we need to start thinking about this difference in manufacturing flexibility. USA can keep up with China in terms of overall manufacturing (ex: if someone orders 100,000+ boards and assembly, USA can somewhat compete). But when it comes down to smaller orders, China is just far more flexible. In ways suggesting far superior automation (not just cheaper labor)

Really, think about these prices. Its obvious that jlcpcb just has a pre-made pipeline of pick-and-place machines covering the 500,000 in-house parts, and thus can offer extremely cheap assembly of those specific reels as its likely all automated.

I don't care about developers needs in the slightest.

As a user I want there to be a single App Store on the iPhone and not the horrible mess like Windows with everyone having their own store/launcher.
My generation seems to read headlines on social media and nothing else. I wonder if it was the same back in the newspaper days. Would your average person see the headlines in the paper and stop there?
Recently, Aldi has started TV brand advertising here in PA, one of their biggest US markets. I was actually shocked by how incredibly core to the store moral their ads are - they literally brag about their smaller sku count, small stores, no cart pushers, and no loyalty cards.
The tag line is 'Because, everything we don't do, is for you.'.

Here is the over the top holiday ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUWqmctnWa8&ab_channel=ALDIU...

The newer non-holiday ads are more direct to the point on the checkout efficiency.

If I didn't know better, I would say they were working with TBWA\Chiat\Day or re-incarnated steve jobs to run their ad campaign.

Edit: It is a Leo Burnett Campaign.
FWIW, good on you for managing the signal responsibly.

I have to smirk a bit every time I see the public do this to themselves. The public: "Why are companies never honest? Why is press-release-speak such a space-alien way of communicating?" Also the public: reacts like this when someone takes a simple, clear action and explains it directly.

(And yes, I know I'm guilty of broad-strokes reasoning lumping everyone in as "the public" and anthropomorphizing that entity. In this context, doesn't matter. Only takes a few bad actors to wreck the signal).
> I cannot stress enough how clear the structural trends are, and how fundamentally they will change journalism from serving the broad public to serving, basically, people like me who are affluent, highly educated, privileged, and middle-aged or older.

Is this a parody? I thought it was serious until here.
Skimming the article, I find this looks similar to so-called dry-herb vapes for cannabis. They’re popular and have long been on the market. The article also quotes someone describing the “rigid ideologies” that kerb discussion and research, which I find particularly true in the US, that there are over-the-top, negative views of tobacco—arguably unwarranted given the magnitude of other issues.

Personally, though I don’t smoke I am not particularly bothered by the smell. I’d rather smell cigarettes than other, more acceptable scents such as from incense or even certain types of ladies’ perfumes.
> very hard to really grasp the difference between Ahead of Time and JIT

JIT = "just in time" = bytecode is converted to native code while the program is running, either at the startup of the program or just before a particular function is called. Sometimes even after the function is called (since the JIT process itself takes time, it may be optimal to only run it once a function has been called N times or taken M microseconds total run time)

AOT = "ahead of time" = bytecode is converted to native code before the program starts. i.e. by the developer during their distribution or deployment process. AOT compilation knows nothing about the specific run time conditions.
Why do you care if other people „start using the Facebook spyware store“? No one is forcing you to use another store. Android has alternative app stores and you can still use the Google Play Store for everything if you want to.
The age of unfettered Silicon Valley business is over, get with program or get run over. The forces causing this change are way beyond tech's ability to control, you can't win if what you are up against is the fear of annihilation in WW III. Existential dread is more powerful than greed.
Lost Commodore Amiga music software recovered
Developed in 1986, "Magic Harp" was an early attempt at AI-like autonomous music generation. Israeli cartoonist Ya'akov Kirschen's idea was to extract three sorts of "musical DNA" from existing works, then recombine them to create new variations. His technology was used to help score a BBS TV documentary, and was covered by the New York Times and other major newspapers. The early Amiga versions of the software were never published, until they were recovered by the website breakintochat.com in 2024.
Facebook has user-run groups, so there are at least 3 levels of moderation/rules there:

1. National law
2. Facebook TOS
3. Group rules

But the legislative power, to to speak, at the group level is quite weak. They can further restrict according to some values, which is fine as it is. Freedom of association. They can't control the UI.
But that's not what anybody is claiming.

This is a simple bar the DMA set up that an app store has to be a particular minimum size for the law to apply.

That has nothing to do with whether the app stores compete against each other. They don't have to. That's not the purpose here.

There's nothing silly about Apple's argument. It's no different as to whether Microsoft has one app store for Windows and one for Xbox. It's not silly to say they're separate. Same thing for Apple Watch and Apple TV.
I'm a simple guy, I see Turing Complete mentioned on HN, I leave a favorable comment :)

Bought it couple years ago and went through a few levels, then had my (then) 14-yo son go through it during the summer break, with my occasional help. In the last level he wrote a program (in the pseudo-Assembly language that the game taught him how to create) to have the computer (that he built in the game starting from the logical gates) walk through a randomly generated maze (he used the keep-to-the-right logic). This game ROCKS. My only complaint is that nothing even remotely similar was available when I was his age :(

I keep getting stuck on the level where memory is introduced, my brain doesn't seem to grasp the concept of "next/previous tick" very well but plenty of people post hints and even full solutions online so you always have an option to cheat and enter the solution to go to the next level.

The game was basically complete more than a year ago, the author has been working on fully rebuilding it , to improve performance and be able to build more complex CPUs etc. I'm hoping he doesn't break anything when he pushes the update.

HIGHLY recommend.

Understanding the LoRa Adaptive Data Rate [pdf]
I've never really been interested in straight development, though I do enjoy the occasional coding session. I'd say at this point, I'm ops through and through, and I feel that the value I add is understanding the systems and what they're doing at a fairly low level. As such, I do sometimes have to help developers out with things I consider surprisingly basic (not usually code exactly), but that's the nature of teamwork I suppose; I'm happy to have a place in things and don't shy away from epithets like "yaml wrangler" or "helpdesk for devs".
This is an excellent game to speed run.

I can hear this comment :)
At my height of playing, I was between ages 14 - 20, so basically from Jr. HS to college. I had all the time in the world, and was really obsessed with the instrument.

I played in multiple bands, so a ton of my spare time would go toward that. Writing and playing songs, basically living in the rehearsal space. When it came to practice it was mostly learning/playing scales, modes, chords, rhythm, etc. - and of course trying to play more and more difficult (cover) songs, as well as trying to write stuff. I spent a huge amount of time just writing stuff in guitar pro (software), and later composing stuff via MIDI in DAWs (Cubase at the time).

My main tips would be to use a metronome at all times, learn as much music theory as you can, learn to sight read, and just have fun by challenging yourself with music. Finding someone to play with is, IMO, priceless.
