This was closer to 1990 than 1984, but I knew several high school kids in the 90's who "hassled" the local universities. This involved breaking into student accounts, downloading the unshadowed password files (anyone remember SunOS, NIS, ypcat passwd?), and then cracking them, often on the university's own systems. All this just so they could be on IRC all night.
I posted a bunch of gifs on Twitter during development:

You can add the nonguix channel to Guix which gives you normal linux kernel, nvidia drivers, etc.

Check out the system-crafters distribution, IIRC it includes nonguix by default.
Definitely not forgetting that part.

Letters like these are written today as well:

"027 – Letter by guard Hugo Behncke to his wife, 28 January 1945

Today I’m on duty from 10 to 12, though without anyone relieving me and without the NCO [non-commissioned officer], so I’ll be able to cut a few corners. I can sit down and that makes the work fairly easy, so two hours are bearable. In the SS, everything apart from breathing is forbidden, but if you don’t break a few rules you’re not a soldier. But I always take care that nothing happens. Anyway, in the winter time the prisoners are disinclined to “travel” [escape]. I haven’t heard of a single case all the time I’ve been here. But in spring and summer we have to keep a really close eye on things.

All they were good for was to be burned

There’s no table to write on and so my writing looks funny. Last night I slept in the next room. It was really cold in there. There has never been any heating in there. I have the space to myself because the others prefer to stay in the warm fug, but I moved out in particular because my neighbour in the bed above me has lice! Yes, lice! I’m not keen on those. I had enough of them in the First World War. He probably got them from being on the recent transport of prisoners to Neuengamme. The prisoners were all sick, dirty and thin as skeletons. All they were good for was to be burned in the Neuengamme crematorium. And a lot of them thought they were being brought to Neuengamme to be burned. Of course, many of them are stupid, primitive people. […]

The war situation is still gloomy, of course, but I’m putting my trust all the same in our counter attack after our enemies’ latest offensive. As I see it, everything is ready. […] So we’re hoping we’ll have victory soon, first over the Russians and then over the western powers. After we’ve won my comrades want to carry on […] as soldiers but not me! I want to get home to you and my children.

Define dystopia.
If that's the alternative you're considering, get the monitors. If you're like me and have been dying to be a bit less tethered to one location for a while, or you want to get a lot out of a little space, this device has finally crossed the threshold of usability (and being a joy to use). But if your baseline is three 5K monitors in one spot, you're gonna be disappointed.
This is promoting gun rights. Seems like he's comparing burglars to insects. What part is racist toward Central Asians?
Politically-motivated forks by non-developers have happened in the fast. For example, https://github.com/ayojs/ayo — a fork of node.js, whose only changes were to README.md and CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, everything else was just copied from Node.
> Paramagnetism/diamagnetism doesn't apply to "magnets"

I also said "objects" in the GP to this post. There is no paramagnetism or diamagnetism in vacuum. You need an object made of an appropriate material. I would not insist on calling such an object a "magnet" if there is an objection to that.

However, what is described in the article is a kind of permanent magnetism; the term "magnet" applies to that in any case.
My imagination ran a bit wild and I thought of a sort of "respirator" one could wear for enhanced immersion, featuring artificial odors. Maybe even a small straw to sip your preferred beverage from, like one of those water pouches hikers carry.

> that you disregard the point about BDSM suggests you did not consider that this word has an actual literal meaning and isn't merely a colourful metaphor

I "did not consider it?" You literally brought it up, so I had to consider it. I disregarded it because it was irrelevant and unnecessary to the point you were making. The person you replied to obviously used it in its metaphorical context, and you took objection to their intended meaning; bringing up the etymology of the phrase is distracting at best and misdirecting at worst.

Great advice here!

The math on multiple needs a revision for 2024. SalesForce and Atlassian are valued at 6x and growing faster than ever with over $1B in revenue. No one else is getting a better multiple than that in SaaS right now without a very eager buyer.

Enterprise Value is great in theory. In practice once you get to enough free cash flow you are really just making the decision on whether to take X years of profits in advance for selling all future profits.

Even at 2x-3x, it comes out to “I’ve made enough money/I’m tired, I’m gonna cash out and pay a big tax bill.”

I’d rather make a business that is run by the team and stay with it.
I've been using vi variants for decades and didn't know ZZ or ZQ. This solves a major pain point for me (mis-typing :q, trying again, now I'm off in the weeds).
I'm far from an HTML expert, but there are a few things that absolutely need to be done The HTML Way™:

scrolling - both in terms of event dispatch, and in terms of sizing (incorrect absolute positioning can break this), possibly focus as well. I don't pretend to understand under what exact circumstances the spacebar works for pagedown, but it's certainly something that fails often on fancy webpages but works intuitively on simple ones.

copy-paste. No, middle click is not just another way of meaning ctrl-v, I want the correct buffer dammit!

rich text editing is poorly supported however you do it, but be sure to have a fallback to a plain text mode that uses the browser controls
> I'll need to compile and submit, to live in their ecosystem; where apps are free to manipulate me. advertise at me.

Apps are more free to manipulate and advertise to you on the web than they are as native apps.
His little soapbox rant sucked every last bit of energy out of his underlying point.
If I'm understanding correctly, Apple actually did do something similar with Bitcode. The developer would submit one app as serialized LLVM intermediate representation, then Apple would recompile it and serve the correct version for your architecture in the App Store.
Economically significant part of Russian population is doing quite well right now, thanks to generous military spending. Inequality dropped, working class is earning the money they have never seen before. Nevertheless I do not think this would in any way imply that they want to be in a state of war forever.

Apple is a consumer product business. They have no reason to care about being a good Unix - that's misunderstanding. And iOS has covered up, and made inaccessible, literally every feature of Unix.
I wouldn’t say it’s too ideological for someone who wants to get stuff done. To get stuff done with Guix, you just go do it and it won’t get in your way - the project channel and the nonguix channel won’t interfere with each other, they’re just different channels.

Directions for using Guix in practice (i.e. with some non-free software) could definitely be easier to find, especially if you start green and don’t know what you’re meant to be looking for. But the system won’t get in your way.
I agree, using the empty list to communicate to the user the situation is making an assumption about the user. A lot of users have never set up or dealt with printers ever. I can say for sure that an empty list of printers would confuse a lot of people in my household.

Ask HN: Making Simple Apps Profitable?
I'm wonder whats the latest in revenue models for simple software apps and how to sell them?

Let's say the app is a EXIF editor to process bulk images. It's a simple tool.

How can one make money off of it?

A subscription for such a simple tool doesn't make sense for it to be an ongoing cost.

Donations are unreliable.

Further upgrades/features to the app, is a possible one.

One time purchases make the most sense, but aren't conducive to long term growth/improvements.

What are your thoughts and experiences?
> I ...wish they still did those.

I haven't been to a S&S since the COVID lock-downs started, but I'd give odds that they do still do those. At some locations, off the record, and depending on the manager.
> I'm going to go back to learning more C and Forth

Why would you expect that to decrease the number of syscalls you need? The syscalls are there because the program needs the OS to do things. That need is driven by the application domain, not by the programming language you use.
? Why even have these APIs?

Xbox essentially runs Windows. Therefore, the Windows API is available on Xbox.
What's crazy is that I didn't even realize it until you pointed it out. I've been doing Win32 for so long it's like reading the green symbols in The Matrix. This all looks "normal" to me.
Huh, I didn’t think of ZQ (to leave an empty commit message) to cancel the commit. I always use :cq (which exits vim with an error status)
It is actually a very good product.
It will be difficult. Germany is a state with a massive parasitic infiltration by Russian agents and "useful idiots" at all levels of the government, the industry, and the media. Watching German response to war in Ukraine has been embarrassing and a good argument for the countries of Eastern Europe to arm themselves to the teeth and not wait for the Western Allies to come to their support.
You are right, they may relate, and thus can be easy to confuse for each other when one is being discussed. So we have to be extra careful when bringing one up in a discussion about the other.

In this case, though, the CEO is not accountable to customers, and the CEO does not represent customers, so not too confusing. He is accountable to the BoD (nobody else can fire him) and represents the corporation. The interests of other parties, including customers, are secondary to, and when opposed lose to, the interests of the corporation.
If it's a large project, I'll use local imports to defer this cost only around where I'm plotting. That way, if I have another entry point that only does computation or is part of a larger system like a web application, it won't have this sort of overhead.
It's better than anything else I've tried by a long shot, which admittedly is only the Quest 2, but still not good enough to work in all day. It wasn't the weight/comfort for me, just it was too blurry. I fully expect to be using one eventually as an external monitor replacement but it's got a little ways to go. Probably needs another generation or 2 of screen/camera improvements. It's _good_ but not worth keeping unless you already use mostly iPad apps for work.
I agree with that - directions for how to use Guix in practice, i.e. for someone who isn’t a GNU warrior using 15 year old hardware because you don’t need non-free blobs, need to be easier to come across.
I wonder, is this obsession with sanitary utensils founded on some real-life study? Or is it pure paranoia and made-up lab tests ("What would happen if I dip my fork in this anthrax solution?").

Plastic SHOULD go into landfill.

We need to stop demonising landfill. I love landfill - it is a focused area to put toxic waste.

There is a massive problem with society's obsession with keeping stuff out of landfill.

Tell me would you rather have waste plastic in the contained area of landfill, or would you rather than plastic was put into roads and leeched into land, air, food, water, people, ground, earth and air as cars and trucks grind it out of the roads.
> the 20k syscalls is for the import call

Yes, because you're importing a library that does a lot more than just print a plot. A purpose-built Python program that just printed the plot, nothing else, would need a lot less than 20k syscalls too.
When I don't wear contacts for a while(just normal glasses), wearing them throughout the day also makes me a bit "tired". Even though the "resolution" is basically the same. But after wearing them consecutively for a few days, it becomes like the same as glasses.

I wonder if there's something similar here going on. Since we rely so heavily on vision for everything(Especially balance). Any difference to our normal perception will cause "exhaustion" of sorts. But maybe wearing it continuously for days can cause our body to adapt to it?(Which, obviously is impossible for AVPs)
Doing nothing correctly sounds like hard work. I guess I'll try it out sometime later when I have more energy.
It mainly has to do with Gitea creating a for profit and assigning everything to it without any community consensus.
I found setting the environment immersion to around 50% lets me see enough of my keyboard so I’m not groping around for it.

I’d also like to see app re-render your iPhone, Apple Watch and ipad screens which are pretty blurry in pass through. Also some sort of workaround for Face ID on iPhone when you’re wearing Vision Pro. Seems like things Apple is uniquely positioned to do.
I have been using contacts and just got the zeiss lenses today. So far it's roughly equivalent. I think there is a touch more distortion (chromatic aberration along the edges) with the inserts. But my contacts are progressives and kinda sucked for this, single vision would probably be great.
Sometimes this kind of error handling is the cause of program slowdowns. So the API fails, but the program retries anyway, and so fails again endlessly. The user doesn't see anything from this happening, only that "the app is slow". Windows is plagued by this kind of behaviour. Its both what the article suggests can cause this, but throwing and ignoring exceptions can have this effect too.

The goal, IMO, would be to force the app not to try (or not to try once it failed) something that is bound to fail.
Also check out `git add --patch`'s cousins over in `git checkout` and `git reset`. I probably use reset --patch more than add, as I'll usually have a file full of relevant changes with only 1 hunk i want to 'unstage', so I'll stage the whole file and unstage the irrelevant hunk.

I use `git checkout --patch` mostly when splitting a big commit into smaller commits, retroactively. I start an interactive rebase, chuck 'break' before the big commit, then I start pulling the changes 'forward' from the big commit into the working directory with `git checkout --patch big-commit-hash */path.ext`. Sometimes this works out easier than popping a commit off and re-committing everything seperately, particularly if I already have a commit with a detailed message.
What app are you using to write code? How do you get a terminal without using a MacBook?
Technically speaking none of these alt stores exist in the EU App Store right now, so anything that does get listed in the future is from a developer account that agreed to these terms. The way to negotiate these terms is to refuse them.
Agreed on all counts. This is a turning point in history and I'm really wondering if we aren't about to lose 80 years of progress in Europe, for Ukraine, on a shorter timescale, that is already a reality. And all because we keep making the same dumb mistakes.
That thing isn't even "good enough". I mean it literally has label "dck" on it. Not even "dick", "dck". It's hilariously bad for anyone bothering to look for like 5 seconds, and yet it was supposedly peer-reviewed by multiple serious scientists, and absolutely hilariously awful diagrams were just fine. I don't think it raises to the level of "mediocre", it's more like "anything goes as long at it looks pretty from afar".
Recently introduced in the Netherlands, alongside glass and PET bottles. At least in the Amsterdam city centre it's led to a substantial increase in trashcan scavenging. It's sort of a weird tax on beverages for many, but it does keep the stuff out of landfills!
I think this is a pretty good microcosm of the whole debate in this one sentence where you say:

> It's not OSI approved because it isn't open source, ...

> ... as the community defined it long ago, ...

Yep, definitely! Nobody disagrees that the OSI defined this long ago.

> ... and as it still makes sense for it to be defined.

Maybe! But that's where the debate is. Is that the most sensible definition? Perhaps, even probably, yes. But it's also a totally valid question to interrogate. And that's what people are doing.
>The relative scale on visits here doesn't make any sense: TikTok 306M, Facebook 90M, Twitter 759K, Instagram 749K.

While I agree that this feels like an ad for CHEQ, their scale would presumably be based on how many ads their partners placed on various platforms. They could be buying far more ads on TikTok than on Instagram for some reason.
I use the iPad Blink Shell app, it can have multiple windows and renders using the VisionOS UI, making it sharper than mirroring a Mac's display.

It helps that I have optimised a great part of my workflow due to me liking tablets.

Meh, it's not like everyone has been working from the beach or lakeside up until now. I'd wager it's less dystopian than your current setup staring at the wall of your home or office, maybe with a window to a view of nothing in an office you're forced to drive to.

This is correct. Apple used to care about being UNIX, so they could gain traction amongst a certain subset of like-minded power users. But all those like-minded engineers have left (eg. Avi, Bertrand, etc) or drank the new Kool-Aid (eg. Craig).

Now, they maintain UNIX certification to comply with contract requirements. I think if they could get away with it, they'd stop shipping Terminal.app as soon as they were able.

If you consider the evolution IBM 801 -> ROMP -> POWER -> PowerPC then you might say the that the roots of the PowerPC are from 1975, or 1982, or 1990 or 1991 and you would have a valid point in all cases.

But it is very reasonable to consider ARM older than PowerPC.

They're definitely dangerous when you're on an unlit county road with deer-inhabited woods on either side.
ZZ is particularly nice since it sorta "does the right thing" in that if you have an unwritten empty buffer, it will silently discard it and quit. I guess I haven't really run into this as I was taught ZZ from the beginning but I imagine hitting :wq<cr> on such a buffer is pretty annoying.

I mean... yes, if you are building a webpage, you should consider the capabilities of the web browser.

I'd be surprised if copy/paste is something you want in your game. Scrolling for a game is again something you probably have specific ideas on. You could make it so that a side scroller builds everything so that html scrolling gets what you want. Odds are high that you'd have an easier time taking over a lot of that on your own. (Indeed, this is essentially how popular mapping "tiles" work. You don't have all tiles in the DOM, but play with the ones visible to work as desired.)

And what I mean for absolute positioning is more in line with what I do in https://taeric.github.io/cube-permutations-1.html. And even there, I do not keep some things in state such that I have no control over the actual path a face travels as it moves into its new current spot.

I can see that having started as a marketing ploy and have very little to do with hygiene reasons. I.e., how much can one manufacturer differentiate their disposable plastic forks? Very little. They're all plastic, they're all forks.

Until someone put them in a plastic wrapper and marketed them as "sealed for your protection". They hit a nerve in the society, and soon people demanded them and they became the norm.
