I mean every single Oberon variant produced by ETHZ students during their PhD, all of them.

For me that is always what I cared about in the Oberon universe.

Original Oberon was interesting for 1987, and Oberon-07 is kind of interesting from Niklaus Wirth pursue of minimalism point of view.

Most more interesting are all the works produced in the context of languages and operating systems research at ETHZ in the context of Oberon derivatives.

One of this students brought his education to another programming language.

From my point of view, we will keep on disagreeing, regarding Oberon.

I definitely think that a lot of incel- and incel-adjacent behavior comes from a person's environment, and as such is not necessarily the incel's fault.

These women are not happy. They care more about impressing
their peers and the man is just an accessory.

I've had a decent number of female friends over the years while I know that there are all kinds of toxic people out there, I don't really see women acting this way in general especially as they progress into adulthood. Of course plenty of toxic counterexamples exist, I'm just talking about in general.

There's something here

I think that any time some kind of movement or thought paradigm gets traction, it's because there are some grains of truth there.

I think a lot of men fall through the cracks in society in one way or another, and have trouble finding partners, and often it's not their "fault" per se, and I think those are some of the grains of truth here.

I don't agree with the "red pill" sort of conclusion, but I definitely think there's something there in terms of what they are experiencing.
It's disheartening how something as straight-forward as improving a town's walkability and reducing the threat posed by cars is framed as something evil that only a robot-wielding corporation corrupting officials would ever do.

Makes sense. One of the benefits of a mobile app is the ease of selling things in the app. Of course you can make it easy with a webapp too, but you need to handle the payment infra yourself and ask for credit card info
The reason those requirements exist is because things do happen occasionally and it can get out of hand at large gatherings when it does. And local taxpayers don't like footing the bill for rowdy people from out of town. Something like an NFL stadium can hold the population of a small city, and when you get that many people together, the law of large numbers applies to the probability of something happening. https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/redskins/a-quietly-esc...

Great observation. I've seen it often in tech, across the board. It's no better, maybe a step up, than 'idea guy' who 'just' needs someone to build his idea. Hand-waving or complete lack of awareness on the actual value (hard) part.

> Nothing? This is worse than nutrition studies in terms of being able to draw conclusions.

This research result doesn't have to prove causality conclusively to be useful.

It is an established fact that higher numbers of premarital partners among women correlate positively with likelihood of their eventually seeking a divorce from their husband. I think it's also been shown that this correlation exists for men as well, though it is not as strong.

This correlation is either causal or it is not. That is to say, (1) more premarital partners for women causes divorce odds to shoot up, or (2) women who have tendencies to have more premarital partners have some other quality that causes them to be more likely to get divorced.

Either way, good advice for a future husband is to avoid marrying a woman who has a lot of premarital partners (provided he wants to avoid being divorced).

The research result is useful for men to think about in spite of its inability to firmly establish causality.

This is empirically not true. If the value-chain is so 'ruined' and 'uneconomical'. Why are there so many iOS devs? Lots of people are participating in the system and lots of people are getting rich.

Examples of truly uneconomical ecosystems are Windows Phone and Blackberry - which is why all the devs left and those platforms are dead.

U.S. copyright also has a constitutionally defined purpose:

`[The Congress shall have Power . . . ] To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries.`

Does the current scheme really promote the progress of science and useful arts? Is the current length of copyright really "limited Times"?
But they have a point.

Copyright law is already different from country to country.
>What happens when you subvert copyright law is some guys with guns, in either an overt way or a subtle one

That just seems like a sociopathic argument to circumvent perfectly clear laws intended to protect people who expend energy into offering new ideas and also trying to diminish what is already delineated as right and wrong. In the blatant sense.

I'm not sure how your gun analogy funnels along to fair use.

Thanks. So much more of that code makes sense now. IFD, SGNU, FORN, FORM. FORM especially. So many codes now have the word FORM as a special word.

What a nightmare to read though if you don't know what it's supposed to be written like. Is it a: "FORM=" or a "FOR M=" ? Is it: "S GNU:G", "SG NU:G", "SGN U:G"? SQRD totally looks like some special kind of square root implementation.

Ask HN: How often do your review notes?
I see a lot of people writing about note-taking and all the software around it. But how often do you review it?

I am curious because do you have a dedicated hour in your work schedule that you allocate for cleaning up notes? Otherwise, it feels quite counter intuitive to take those fleeting notes.

Given how swiftly the field changes, the notes also change in same rate. So wouldn’t it be better to just internalize the concept and create a db of the resource that was used to internalize concepts?
> Compared to self-driving cars, delivery robots are easier to accommodate to the point of actually becoming economical.

There's nothing about device tree which forces this. It's just how it's normally used because of said constraints. The ideal device tree situation would be it is provided by the SBC vendor and then passed into the generic image, just like ACPI. The reason this isn't done is this generic image doesn't exist at the moment. Switching to ACPI still means this generic image doesn't exist.

"there’s not really a difference between a database and a file system."

It depends on how abstracted you're getting. I sometimes talk about the 30,000 foot view, but in this case, I might stretch the metaphor to say that from Low Earth Orbit, there is indeed not much difference between a database and a file system. In fact, there's not much difference between those things and some function calls. You put some parameters out, you get some stuff back.

From just slightly higher one realizes or remembers, it's all just numbers. You put some numbers into the system and get some other numbers out. Everything is built out of that.

You can build a database out of functions, a file system out of a database, functions out of a file system (albeit one beyond a blob store, think /proc or FUSE rather than ext2), you can mix network streams into any of these, anything you like.

And while it's helpful to be aware of that, at the same time, you are quite into architecture astronautics at that point and you are running low on metaphorical oxygen, and while the odd insight generated from this viewpoint might help here or there, if one wishes to actually build iCloud, one is going to have to come a great deal closer to Earth or one is going to fail.

Still, in the end, it's all just numbers in response to other numbers and the labels we humans put on exactly how the numbers are provided in response to other numbers are still the map and not the territory, even in the world of programming where arguably the map and the territory are as close as they can possibly be and still be in reality.

You and your professor rightly call out the distinction between computer science and programming. I wish more new grads understood that programming and software engineering are also not the same thing.

I've seen great young software engineers feel like they aren't succeeding because they aren't belting out hundreds of lines of code on every little task like some of their peers do. The reason the good ones aren't doing that is because they see a more practical way forward (i.e., find a better set of tradeoffs). For example, finding a good package instead of writing it. Or collaborating with stakeholders to simplify requirements. By taking more practical paths, they avoid the cost of developing and maintaining all that extra code. They are considerably more valuable because they are doing actual software engineering and not just programming. But so many new grads, especially the ones belting out so much code, think programming and software engineering are the same thing. They are not.
Observing Altman over OpenAI saga and later I clearly see one thing: duplicity. He was kicked off YC by Graham for unknown reasons, yet after October fiasco I have my suspicions why. Coming back to OpenAI and its beginnings, Altman betrayed all early investors - notably Musk but not only. Betrayed each and every meaningful point of OpenAI original charter, basically making it the oposite of what it originally was - starting exactly at the point when he smelled big money. He even went to Congress, effectively lobbying for limiting competition - especially open source models. Now he betrayed humanitarian values by offering his services for Pentagon - organization that has killed untold millions of people worldwide since WW2 and will happily kill millions more, making a gobs money to MIC in the process (don't tell me about "democracy" and such, it's all bullshit). There is no reason to believe a single word from him, Altman always tells his agenda, nothing else. There will be no 'using AGI for helping humanity' - his corporate buddies will receive profits at the cost of everyone else losing job to AI solutions monopolized by Altman's buddies. There will be no 'distributing profits among people in need', maybe except for some token help just to shut up critics. Altman is a tool for ruling corporate oligarchy. Nothing good will come out of it in my opinion.

I work in the area of thin film materials research, and I can confirm that boiler plate text describing methods is often copy pasted by academic researchers working together, since it's nearly the least important part of a paper.

Plagiarism of the discussion section and analysis would be one thing, but a list of methods or materials is a nothing burger.

Do you not believe that societal constructs are real? What makes (fiat) money a real resource and copyright an imaginary one? What about this logic:

Debt is not a real thing. It's a fiction. Subverting contract law is not like subverting the laws of physics. Simply don't pay your bills! What happens when you subvert contract law is some guys with guns, in either an overt way or a subtle one, force a trade of your imaginary resource (money) for the real resource (labor), through a contract.

It's a bit of clever misdirection to declare yourself "in debt" or "debt free." Money is made up! It's fiction! It is whatever we want it to be!
>The result that living together before marriage leads to worse marriages is a really surprising one

It's not. People who take marriage very seriously (people with traditional values) are less likely to live with people before marriage, so if we select such people we'd naturally expect them to have longer marriages since they value marriage for marriage's sake.

> a name-addressable system is actually a superset of content-addressable systems as you can always use the hash of the content as the name itself

It's a superset in that sense but not a superset in another sense.

In a content-addressable system, if I post a link to another piece of content by hash, then no one can ever substitute a different piece of content. Like, if I reference the hash of a news article, no one can edit that article after the fact without being detected. This is a super-useful feature of CAS that is not a feature of NAS. Other implications:

* I can review a piece of software, deem that it's not malware in my opinion, and link to the software by hash. No one can substitute a piece of malware without detection.

* Suppose you get a link from a trusted source. Now you can download a copy of the underlying content from any untrusted source, without a care about authentication or trusted identities. This describes BitTorrent.

People chase happiness instead of contentment.

And we've also been conditioned to think that love does not require work. That it will "just be". So if there's friction, well, obviously it's not meant to be. Because if it was, we wouldn't have this friction.

But everything is work. Nothing ever ends. We are in a constant state of change. Marriage isn't the end of relationships, it's a commitment to doing the work with someone.

So obviously, I don't subscribe to the school of thought that relationships should be easy. And my frustrations with my partner are sometimes things I need to confront about myself. Things I need to change about how I interact with the world. And of course, there are things they should work on. And things we should work on together.

I think that's part of how kids can cement marriages. Kids are obviously work. Sometimes so much so there's just not enough time or energy to care about the friction that would have collapsed a relationship previously. So you learn to be content with things. And you learn to work at relationships. Because you'll finally meet someone who is way more intractable than you are. Because you can't really punt a kid to the street. You have to make this work.

I thought there was no need for marriage, then I got married and it has totally been worth it, but not for any of the paper reasons above. Is it possible to have a relationship like mine without being married? I would say it would have to be, because how can a legal contract really improve your relationship that much? However, there’s something in the form of clarity, trust, and bonding that happens when you are married to your husband or wife that won’t be there before and doesn’t show up in pros and cons.
