Yeah see, where I don't see eye-to-eye on here is the idea that Windows is bad because it lets you download and run whatever you want. I don't agree at all. I think Windows is just bad, and in fact, it gets worse as they try to push for an Apple-esque App Store model and slowly add roadblocks to """side-loading""" (or as we called it in my youth, "installing software".)

Likewise, I don't think that's what makes iOS good, either. I don't think it ever was. I think that it's understandable that Apple's approach to this would in fact be to make a "walled garden", especially given that it is wildly profitable, but Apple already had beloved computers long before they started doing stuff like this. Yes, to be sure, the Macintosh had and has plenty of flaws, but I do not think that anyone's goal is to turn iOS into Windows, and Apple would retain a visegrip on the iOS experience just due to how locked down modern operating systems are. Immutable image based operating systems with heavy restrictions on what usermode apps can do are going to be inherently much more stable, even when faced with untrusted usermode apps.

The thing is, while I get why I and others get categorized as part of the "anti-Apple" crowd, it's not because I simply hate Apple for no reason whatsoever. Like many others, I desperately wanted to like Apple, and then they just crapped all over what I consider to be my demographic of users. Please understand: to me, I am not THAT loyal to ANY vendor. I am a user of computers first and foremost.

But what's worse is, I have to deal with the knock-on effects of this. My biggest pet issue is absolutely their tirade against patent-unencumbered formats like Opus, which impacts people I know who prefer iPhone because it's all they've ever known. "How can I get WebMs to play in Discord/My web browser/etc?" You own a computer where the manufacturer decided that you're not allowed to install codecs or alternate browser engines, so you can basically go fuck yourself.

"Bicycles of the mind" my ass.

In any case, I think there is no slippery slope here. Apple is not going to volunteer control of their ecosystem away, so god knows they're going to do the minimum necessary to comply with any of this. So I think the impact on the overall iOS ecosystem will probably not be that substantial once all is said and done.

Even on Android, app stores outside of the Play Store are relatively rare, and attempts to circumvent the Play Store for the purposes of making more money haven't done very well. Even on Windows, it's hard to compete with or avoid selling on Steam, because it's got so much momentum and users generally like it as a platform for buying games on. Apple has more than a level playing field, they have a decade head start, total control over the platform, and so much more; They are far from at risk of control slipping.

If they're worried about anything, it is probably quarterly financial reports not being as good as they possibly could be.
Japan has the solution to this. Tubs are connected to a smart system and you can start your bath from, say, the living room via a panel. You can specify what time you want it filled up at and at what temp and it does the rest.
From what I’ve observed in this thread, there seems to be an over abundance of faith in competition and freedom to tinker.

I think that this is faith, not objectivity - which is misplaced in this specific scenario.

The challenge isn’t market dynamics, but rule breaking and predation on victims.

Non tech inclined people are targets/marks for bad actors.

Malicious websites, innocuous messages, hard to avoid buttons - are all designed to circumvent good intentions.

This is resolved with rule enforcement, retributive and governance powers.

If we are adamant about competition, then apple being locked down while Android remains open is about the best you will see.
Eh, .internal is fine, but it's 8 characters to type. I'll probably keep using .lan until someone else takes it.
How close does it come to intentionally targeting civilians?
Fully open wireless basebands are unlikely if not (legally) impossible. Modern radio front ends have significant software control/definition from the baseband chipset/firmware. They'll happily run outside of regulated limits (ERP etc). The only reason they can get Part 22/15 licenses is because their firmwares are sold locked down and can't be adjusted outside of regulated limits.

Anyone that gets halfway interested in trying to make an open baseband, necessitating a custom radio front end, gets quickly uninterested once they look at the development costs and then needing to get a license.

Is there a language which is not stack-based? I imagine "concatenative" would be mildly more precise of a description.

Coroutines (which often carry their own stacks) can sort-of dodge stacks—effectively utilizing a sort of bespoke linear typing to avoid this—but I don't know of a language which doesn't have c-like, stack-based procedures or subroutines, which places arguments on the stack and registers and operates mostly with respect to that stack and foreign API calls.

A stack is certainly the most intuitive data-structure with which to implement a lambda calculus.

Really, what Forth and descendent languages seem to emphasize is a sort of a data-oriented execution rather than a symbol-oriented execution—C very much encourages you to name types, function signatures, etc, and the result if you don't is extremely difficult to parse and interpret manually, even if you can implement forth as a subset of C.

Forth emphasizes reasoning about the stack directly as data, seemingly forgoing any assistance outside of syntax. Arguably it forgoes the utility of syntax, too.

> `def` … is itself a word.

But of course, that is the way of the Forth.

Hmmm… Have a look at JonesForth. I think it might be very rewarding for you.
> The fact is, people desire different things from society

I agree, that is a fact: a minority of people do desire different things from society, by definition, because what the majority wants is what society wants, by definition. How much does that matter in reality? Of course we can't allow a person to veto society, that would be minority rule, which is inferior to majority rule, all other things being equal.

I'm not sure why, but it feels like an unpopular minority has, over the last few decades in the u.s., been less and less accepting of this, and felt more entitled to veto the whims of society (a.k.a. the majority) in favor of their personal whims, rather than convincing the majority (a.k.a. society) to agree with them.

> Different nations should be allowed to have completely different policies and people should be allowed to choose which policy sets best fit with their ideology and be allowed to freely move to the nation that applies

I also agree here: it'd be great to be able to pick and choose countries, for a number of reasons, including the one you cite. One difficulty is, the other side of the coin is: each country also gets to pick and choose citizens as it sees fit. But if you disagree with a given country's society (a.k.a. disagree with the majority), it seems reasonable to want to leave it for one you agree with.

> Anyway, I think this is so cool because everything else on the solar system map is so regular and orderly, but not quasi-moons!

Nothing in the solar system is regular and orderly. It's chaotic because 3-body problems are almost always chaotic, and >3-body problems are always chaotic.

Our solar system is a hundred-body problem (or more depending how small a "body" you want to include).

So why then does our solar system mostly appear to be regular and orderly? Because of the time scales we care about, and because for the majority of bodies (not Zoozve!), only one other body produces the overwhelming majority of gravitational influence. Which means we can cheat and treat many very short-term predictions as 2-body problems.

Over a one-month timeframe we can predict the solar system analytically as a bunch of 2-body problems. Easy.

Over a few hundred years we can use numerical methods. Harder, but it mostly works well enough.

Over a million-year timeframe it's completely hopeless. We have no idea where Venus will be exactly a million years from today.

Edit: 10 million years is a better threshold for hopelessness. A million years is still somewhat predictable for some bodies.

Huh. I wonder how it actually works behind the curtains. Do hey actually use HDDs to store all of that, or maybe is there some physical work involved in these 12 hours to retrieve a tape-drive from the archive…
Could this be for time synchronization?

Cheap alarm clocks just use the AC power as a known good oscillator.

What if the Buzzer were simply a wireless version of this? (Instead of exotic atomic clocks or OXCOs)

I’m not saying this is technically a really good idea, but as a cheap, fairly low-tech solution — why not ?
>Many people had a hard time moving and clicking at the same time, and “double-clicking” was a skill one had to learn

There is never any reason to bother worrying about double clicking. It is just a shortcut to select the default interaction option, which is equally available by selecting the interaction option (usually the right mouse button) and choosing it from there.

In fact the great part of the mouse is how much discovery it enables: you can move the mouse over any element of the screen and see how you can interact with it based on which icon is shown. If you don't know what you can do with a given item, you can right click it and get a menu list.

Apple famousely only had one mouse button, and options where shown when you clicked the option button. If Windows had something similar, do you think people would have realised it could also be used when dragging? I still remember when the group I was in realized you could right-drag things and get a useful menu when you did. I can't remember whether we were CS students at the time or had graduated.
This is very cool! I'm trying to do something technically similar by using LLMs to summarize the meeting transcript from youtube (https://parths-newsletter-78dbcb.beehiiv.com/).

Right now I'm doing this manually by copy/pasting into ChatGPT but I want to automate this aspect. I'm not very technical so any guidance you could provide would be helpful :)
Yes, you are correct. My friend made this post so I didn't have control over the exact wording. That being said, in concatenative programming, the stack is public and, in my case, is virtual.
Even if bringing down Apple's walled garden ends up strengthening chrome, don't you think we should be trying to solve this problem at the source? Maybe the solution is to break up google (usually a messy affair), or maybe we should all agree on a fork of chrome that has full community support, is shielded from google's menacing changes and is adopted by all current chrome derivatives (like brave, vivaldi, opera, etc). Heck, call it khtml2 and give governance of this project back to the KDE folks (with of course the whole FOSS community helping and backing it, they obviously can't do this alone). Maybe even Mozilla could throw the towel and use this new engine without having to give up control of the web to google.
I've been a Linux user for 15 years. This works fine for me and [some of] my family. I still can't fathom regular folks using any flavor of it. Chrome and Android obviously disregarded.

Also good to reserve localhost since some system resolvers will actually resolve any subdomain of localhost as 127.0.0.1. (I think systemd-resolved does, but I know for sure glibc NSS with the nss-myhostname module does.)
correct me if I am wrong, but from my knowledge concatenative programming often assumes a different syntax for defining words. Usually it looks something like : add a b + ; if I am not mistaken.

The recent WASI 0.2.0 submission/discussion is about WASI, a chiefly server-side oriented system & so far server-side component model, but this component model is the cross-platform gateway that is opening up the (vastly larger now) webdev world to something that a long time ago the web was incredibly at: being a place for many different languages to come & try stuff out. And this time it'll be in a cross-language form! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39143054

You're right it's been a direction for a long time. I hope some other languages & communities can find & expose worthy incredibly interesting offerings that lure us off the beaten path we are on. It'll be technically/mechanically much easier to do, starting now-ish, but whether there is distinct clear value to writing your core in other languages is so far very unclear. Will it make a difference? Will other ideas arise & prove valuable & steer us onwards? T.B.D.
I agree.

I've actually seen a lot of CS students spend a summer at a coding bootcamp after they graduate. It boosts their practical knowledge and makes them productive from day one.

Only on time scales like thousands of years or more, that are too long to worry about as far as any danger to Earth is concerned. On shorter time scales we can predict orbits very accurately, which is how astronomers know about objects that will pass near Earth decades in advance.

Very neat. You have tried to make a very orthogonal language from what I can see.
One of the critiques of Forth is that it is postfix at runtime but typically prefix for compiling stuff. Your use of an unassigned text label being the default to which things can be attached with def is a nice solution.

How would say the language performs at runtime vs other REPL languages.
Is it compiling to native code behind the curtain or is there a VM back there?
If this is true, about "reliability of transmission between two neurons is very low... is below 10%", this could mean, our extremely inefficient efforts, are just wrong way.

True, it's a convenient structure, but the Church–Rosser theorem says that the order of beta reduction of terms in the lambda calculus doesn't matter, so a call stack pattern isn't essential.

You are correct, but in Forth for example, the colon is a word in the dictionary of words and so is semi-colon. They just happen to parse the input stream rather than taking arguments off the stack. Everything in Forth is called a "word".

So depending who your lawyer is, : and ; are "words". :=)

Sounds like me exactly.

On days I go to office I focus on being present physically so my attendance is noted.

The commute (1 hour each way through dust and traffic) tires me out and I don't get much done that day either work wise or on personal front and go to sleep tired and early.

For remote work days I am able to take breaks in between and come back to desk when feeling productive and energetic. And I mix in some personal work during the day or office work till 8 or 9 PM as I feel like that day.
It's pretty fast, just not as nice to use. You need statically defined tensors, and some functions are just not supported (last time I used it).
I second this; this is super bad advice. CO2 systems are comparatively safe from an eye damage perspective - unless you take a direct hit, (...don't, seriously, that's what interlocks are for...), 10.6um is strongly absorbed by your eye and you'll get superficial thermal damage, maybe cataracts or a corneal burn, but it won't get focused on to your retina so serious vision loss is unlikely. Polycarbonate safety glasses have a crazy high optical density at 10.6 and are suitable protective eyewear.

The situation for visible diode lasers is much worse. Sure, the power tends to be lower, but they're still powerful enough that looking at a diffuse reflection will result in dangerous power densities on your retina. Unfortunately, the brain is really good at hiding this sort of damage, so it's possible to not notice until it's too late.

1.064um fiber lasers are the worst of both worlds. Very high powers, invisible so you have no idea how much stray light is getting out or if you're staring at a reflection, and expensive + hard to verify safety glasses.

I like doing things with high power lasers (next up for the collection is probably a 355nm ns system?), but am glad that I had to take a lot of laser safety training before I bough my first big laser source.
