You're right that "Lisp Machines" refer to a very peculiar point in time, available to only a very small number of people.

The article even mentions:
> This was all accurate as of around 2018, but please be aware that things may have changed since then!

There's no reason this should appear on the frontpage of a "news" site.
Very unlikely you'd need to replace a plug-in's battery at 5 years anyway. The Volt (which I also own) only uses between about 15-85% of its battery capacity. Having to replace a battery on a Volt is very uncommon, even for ones going on 10+ years old.
Not taking the extreme and unprecedented rate of temperature change into account is either ignorance or disingenuity.

One option to consider would be to develop locally on a VM or container and then when it's in a "let others play" state, then fire that VM back up and push your artifacts or container to it.
Ask HN: Jamming (As in Musicians) Web Site?
I want a web site where someone can, for example, upload a drum groove or track they just laid down.

Another visitor to the site can discover and then playback this drum track from their browser while jamming along, for example, with a guitar. (The web client would of course have to be capable of playing back audio while also capturing audio in real time.)

The visitor can also mix to a limited degree this two-track piece — panning, adjusting faders, perhaps some simple effects like compression, reverb. They can upload their guitar accompaniment along with pan/fader/effects settings to create a new mix.

Third visitor can pull down the composition and can contribute, for example, a bass line. Mix and upload and ... you get the point.

Perhaps a reasonable cap at 8 tracks so the client is not strained mixing/playing-back (never mind download overhead as the track count grows).

In a kind of free for all (that may remind some of you of git) anyone is free to replace tracks, go back to early mixes, etc. There's no fighting to speak of since every edit becomes its own "branch".

(A rating system ought to help separate the wheat from the chaff.)

If something like this exists, let me know. If it doesn't, I'll have to learn how to code it.
I've been wondering the same. Battery tech seems like there are new breakthroughs weekly. Investing billions in extraction/production seems like a pretty big gamble if by the time you're operational your tech is outdated. Still, even if there is a game changing battery tech breakthrough, it would take years before it could make it to mass production and adoption.
If for the sake of argument we are plugging this into an SNES emulator running at 60Hz, then the stack between the USB gamepad and the emulator already has to handle that the gamepad is not rigidly synced to the emulated SNES and will presumably take every input from the gamepad and use it as the emulated input to the SNES next time it asks, unless a new one comes in first.

At slightly faster than 60Hz, the net effect will be that the delay between input and having an effect on the SNES will wander about 1/60th of a second over time, as the sync varies, and every once in a while a particular input will be overwritten before it makes it into the emulator. It may be very difficult to perceive this, though, due to other delays already built into such a set up. On a real SNES, it would be right on the edge of perception anyhow.

Being very close to the poll rate but not quite there is probably near the theoretically worst case. It would probably be much better to poll at 240+Hz, cutting the latency between input to a consistent 1/4ish of a frame. However, I doubt this improvement could be "felt" by very many people at all.
If it makes you feel better I have a degree in chemical engineering, and a few months ago made the exact same mistake as you for an automatic watering system where I put a reservoir of water in the cabinet below a plant and wondered why water was traveling from the planter into the reservoir and overflowing and spilling all over the cabinet and floor.

Some days we're just dumb, even if most days we're pretty smart.

> The blame falls also on businesses which take money for services they don't deliver. They often know, and otherwise often could know, when subscribers are not using the service. If you're a business, you should earn your revenue, otherwise you are frauds.

I disagree. I routinely go months in between using some of my various subscriptions - be it Netflix, Hulu, Audible, etc. I would be very upset if they cancelled on me... I maintain the subscriptions because I can afford to do so and because I enjoy the convenience of having it available when I want it without having to go through some sort of account activation ritual.

People need to have personal responsibility. Review your bank/credit accounts and cancel subscriptions if you want - it's your money so take responsibility.

This line of reasoning reminds me of the petulant discussion revolving around overdraft fees... as-if it's difficult to spend 3 seconds tapping a button in your banking app.
This tool used to be open (AGPLv3 for some reason; it’s not a network service) and they changed to this crap license once they realized they had something good.

That’s exactly what is happening though, regardless of how much it is angering you. Millions of people moving to another country is colonization no matter how you want to spin it.
Dumb question: how do they measure/know it's "15M tonnes".

This is my dream. A company in between me and all kinds of service providers (energy, insurance, internet, mobile, let’s go crazy and add: mortgage, mobility) and just regularly switches me to the best offer while I retain service. They could get probably get away with a 10% fee and still deliver, because they can reverse auction their portfolio and get massively better deals than usually available. They can do KYC and vouch for my credit rating, keep my PII safer while putting my saved money to work in an investment account while bargaining for the lowest costs. Worth billions. We could then use those billions to buy stakes in the firms that give us shitty service to force them to put the customer first.
Netherlands might work for them then. 15% of people here don't speak Dutch well enough to use it as a primary language, and this is generally accepted.
As far as I understand it does indeed.

However Germans could already become dual citizens of a European Union country (and Switzerland) so many were covered under the old law (that will remain).
This is too bad. I've got a (dumb) Haier refrigerator that works perfectly well, going on 5 or 6 years now.

It's an odd width because of a stupid home remodel by the previous owner that I can't really undo, and haier was the only vendor that didn't want to charge me "designer" prices because of that.

Hopefully it keeps going strong :/

I'm vaguely aware that partners with a trade surplus end up buying t-bonds. eg China, Japan.

I poorly explained the post-WWII scenarios I was thinking of: to stimulate demand for US goods, the US govt would give aid, grant loans, etc to other countries, for those countries to spend on US goods. Ditto World Bank, IMF, etc.

I've read criticisms of this strategy over the years. Many have suggested it would be better for the developing economies if US/West simply bought their goods. Or maybe a hybrid, like stable investments and purchase agreements.
Why would you want to be dependent on other countries if you didn’t have to be?

Pypr – Augmented Data Pipelines
Pypr is an upcoming platform for creating automated data pipelines. It allows you to orchestrate the execution of native programs via a graphical user interface and code editor. You can use Pypr as a managed service or host it yourself as a single binary executable. It has utility patent pending elements and is currently under active development. Pypr was born out of the inspiration to address the need of academic researchers for an easy and low-maintenance data pipeline solution that is compatible with HPC. While initially designed for a niche audience, Pypr has the potential for widespread adoption among programmers, developers, and technology enthusiasts. At this early stage, there is an opportunity to significantly accelerate the development of Pypr by increasing its R&D budget. If you are interested in being one of the four early investors, please visit the website and get in touch.
I'm guilty of being averse to this too, even though I intellectually know that if I accept manually entering transactions, then there are so many more options I can choose for tracking finances. As it is, I'm locked into a Banktivity subscription fee...

I think part of it is that it is just so hard to centralize all finances through just one bank. The best bank for retirement doesn't support business credit cards; the best credit cards are with completely different companies, etc. Monthly finances are a huge hassle as it is.
What adjective would you use to refer as the colony of Moroccans that are next to my neighborhood that sit on public spaces threatening everyone (thus preventing people form using them), being the primary source of crime in the area and displaying their hate towards Spain over and over?

I use an app like this as well.

I was never impressed by Haier's quality to begin with. I for one wouldn't have bought their junk anyway. You're not missing anything. Take a hard pass and buy something that lasts? Have a Haier already? Sell it and buy something with a chance of longevity. BTW, the US/EU distinction on IoT is interesting, but in the end it's all Haier China. So you know what to expect.
You know, it's fair not to support the service on that principle,

However, Sourcehut is actually FOSS software.

IE: if you wanted to run one of their banned things, you could, just on your own hardware.

It's fine, in my opinion, to moderate your services if people have an escape hatch to get out of your service if you require them to move along.

This is a far cry from services such as GitHub, or even Gitlab (with their open core) as transferring to your own system is actually possible, though not without some relative pain.

I don't like crypto projects, so of course I am biased here. But if you like free speech then there's not many options and I think sr.ht is the best one (especially if you plan to self-host).

GitHub is well known to be controlling of speech and even championed some measures that affected the entire industry, and as others have mentioned they have restricted projects on a relatively arbitrary basis. Sometimes even due to geographic region.
I don't really see how this follows. A perfectly reasonable option that doesn't affect your use case at all would be "don't charge a customer who didn't use the service during that period." AWS doesn't charge me for an empty S3 bucket, Netflix shouldn't charge for zero minutes of video watched that month. Simple as!

The downside, of course, is that this does mean you can't ride the Personal Responsibility bicycle and look down at a generally frazzled and overloaded population, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to have you make.

Yeah, it's possible to be too "robotic" with that strategy. I think one of the main themes of the book is sincerity, though, like finding something truly interesting about the other person that you can relate with, respect, or like. From there it opens up avenues for sharing about yourself too, and hopefully the reciprocity breeds more openness and closeness?

Also, some people are just talkers who will go on and on about their lives and never ask or care about yours, lol. They're best in small doses :)
Largely, and in this case they'd likely be involved because of the latter type of jurisdiction.
They technically have jurisdiction across the country (for federal offences) and might take on big cases (e.g. terrorism) anywhere.

Think of them as the “default” service.

In many provinces, they’re the primary police service for all towns/cities except the largest ones.

Other provinces have a provincial police service to be the default in towns/cities that don’t have their own municipal police service.

I don't need to work at public companies to buy their equity. I work in earlier stages to gain access to pre-growth equity.

I would certainly not want to work at a non-worker-owned cooperative. That's not an incentive alignment for me as a worker, and it's a hierarchy placed above workers. Customer-owned coops are only meant to be good for the customer, it’s standard hierarchical wage labor bs for workers.

Not that worker-owned ones are able to avoid politics though - all social relations have varying degrees of success and conflict.
Not him, but I think there are languages which are important out of their home countries: many east Asian languages, Spanish, Arabic, Hindi. Languages which are widely spoken in other countries as a lingua franca as well as by immigrant communities. Outside of an EU perspective, German isn't a very useful language to know across the world economy. If you're going to move somewhere where your kids will grow up learning the language, I don't think it's a bad idea to weigh the value of them learning German vs. Chinese vs. Swahili and how it will help them in the future

I have tasted unusual varietals of banana, mostly from SE Asian supermarkets, that taste very close to artificial banana when they are super-ripe. I have a sense for it too, because artificial banana used to be my favorite candy/popsicle flavor as a child. Full disclosure though, I probably haven't tasted artificial banana in at least a decade.
It's not quite the same pitch, but I use privacy.com to set up a unique virtual card for every subscription I sign up for - that way, all in one dashboard and can stop them on demand. I also set the spend limit just above the current price so if there's a price hike it denies the transaction.

> So, learning what is 3 x 9 is not hard AFTER you have learned n * 10, and this trick.

The tricky thing here is that you have a limited amount of working memory, energy, and focus.

To do well at math you need:

- practice at being focused and confronting things that are hard

- an understanding of the problem space you are facing and how your tools work

- enough stuff memorized so that you don't have to context switch too much

You can have some missing pieces in the third area and do okay. But for a lot of students, needing to context switch to do simple arithmetic throws them off. I encounter students who can do any step of a problem, and can even describe the steps of what to do, but when I observe them thunk down to arithmetic and struggle, they aren't able to find their place again and make mistakes.

Most students are better served by getting their multiplication tables firmly committed to memory; perhaps a mnemonic or a simple algorithm of multiplying by 9 helps them get there. But you still don't want to be leaning on that when you're trying to factor a quadratic or cancel things in fractions or whatever.

(Seeing patterns, and learning why the pattern works is perhaps more valuable than multiplication tables... but that doesn't mean you don't need the multiplication tables.)

Well, there is more to it than that. Today you cannot: Charge them with petty theft with priors, nor can you charge them with burglary. But now it's purely a misdemeanor and cannot be charged with petty theft nor obviously a felony.

So, while other states have higher thresholds, the thieves can be still be put in jail and fined for misdemeanor offenses, whereas in Calif, prosecutors are loath to file changes for anything below the felony threshold.

That means in Calif stealing 949 is very unlikely to land you in Jail. In other states, even if you steal less than the felony threshold, you can get significantly fined and jailed for the misdemeanor[1] --that makes Calif more attractive to shoplifting gangs.

Knowing how to code doesn't make you a Software Engineer in the same way being able to read and write in English doesn't make you an author. If you truly believe the current and future iterations of GPT can code better than you, look to elevate your own skill.

If ever, a GPT-like LLM/AGI ever exists where it can distill business requirements, understand modular designs and intelligently establish complex relationships between different systems and contexts, then 99% of all jobs will perish.

This will be an unprecedented disruption at a macro scale that humanity has never seen before. All of our current economic models will be instantly trash. How likely do you think this will happen? If it does, there's no real incentive to have these systems produce anything because no one can afford to buy anything. A global revolution would be inevitable.

Yeah, it is no accident that a JIT designed originally for Strongtalk ended up becoming the first JIT for Java.

And .NET by being "Java 2.0" after the J++ lawsuit, inherited most of the same dynamism, alongside the ability to support VB capabilities, which by VB 6 were also quite nice.
