> 35 years ago I was fixing something on my car most weekends. Now I just want to turn the key and go somewhere.

See, that 35 years for me didn't make me stop working on my cars, it just allowed me to have enough money to have a reliable car as well as "toy" cars that I can still tinker with. I drive the Audi, but I still wrench on the Triumph. I used to tinker with Hackintosh stuff as well, and I haven't stopped tinkering, just moved on to other things, like this Rubidium frequency source I just bought to build a high accuracy NTP server from a Raspberry Pi. (Yes, of course, there are already cheap and easy solutions for this, but I want to tinker).

"The key is to perpetuate a mythical cult around the startup and convince huge swaths of kids to give you equity for almost nothing"

I found that amusing seeing as the second most recent video in their series, "Should Your Startup Bootstrap or Raise Venture Capital?", spends most of its time making a strong case for why VC isn't right for the vast majority of founders: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D81y-kh11oI
By going back to using interpreted languages. No more precompiled binaries where changing/adding patches and flags require full builds, just stream compiled/compressed source code directly to the target.

You could also extern the software to a webserver and only cache small parts of the software on the client. Instead of gigabytes of install sizes you'll be required to have a 1 or 10 gbit network link to run and stream features as you're acessing them.

No denying that windows these days isn’t stable. Indeed it is. My biggest issue is all the third party crap I never asked for gets installed with it. Not to mention all the Microsoft services that I don’t want to use, but still manage to be there. Like OneDrive. Sure one can uninstall it. But then see the mess it leaves with the way files are saved in the documents directory.

Even when setting up a Windows 11 VM , I usually have to spend an hour just removing stuff, disabling things and multiple reboots just to trim things down.

Yes, you can do that but you still need a cheap valve with a size ideally smaller than one dowel pin 'cell' at standard braille densities. AFAIK this does not exist commercially, if it does it would be cost prohibitive, and therefore would need to be designed in some unknown manner focused on low fabrication cost. Since most valves operate based upon electromagnetism (solenoid-driven) you also have an electrical control problem. All in all, not an attractive solution path.
That's a useful distinction.

From the press release: "Ratings of how profound, truthful, or accurate they found pseudo-profound and pseudo-scientific statements and fake news headlines." Does that mean the people being tested were just shown the headline? Usually, that's not enough information to decide if something is bullshit. So, were they basically asking their subjects to guess?

The actual paper [1] is paywalled. US$12.00. The press release does not link to the paper, nor does it give a full citation, but it does give enough info that the paper can be found.
A useful metric is that if something makes a strong but unusual claim, and the supporting data is hard to access, it's usually bullshit.

For now I will teach my kids to pirate. Not the best solution because honestly I did pirate when I was poor then honestly tried to move away from those days and got a Netflix account and Amazon prime account but the amazon movie site is just so horrible. Every movie I click it wants me to buy or rent. I never did figure out a way to filter those from not showing up I don’t know if that has changed but I ditched it. Then Netflix disabled the account sharing and I argue I wasn’t really sharing I bought Netflix for my kids to use and I am divorced so that means at 2 different locations. It worked for a bit but now seems to detect the location change and I just said screw it and canceled. It was much more convenient to just pirate which was and still is so easy even my kids know how to find the shows they want. And when they get to university I imagine I will show them how to access text books and articles for free. Sad state of affairs as I really do want to contribute my fair share but not when it is pay hundreds of dollars for a new revision of a text book that didn’t add any new context but simply rearranged the pages a bit so they can call it an new version. In the end the publishers are the problem no piracy so I do not feel bad one bit.
> it sounds like you don't have a single index that covers both columns.

Yes. But other databases (SQLlite, etc.) select the correct index, without the need to create an index with both columns.
Also, if you're a mobile developer you likely have a Mac, and if you're a mobile dev that doesn't target iOS exclusively, then you run java.
I don’t think the article claims that a Java process tries to access some other process’s memory.

In a typical modern operating system, a memory page can be non-writable and non-executable, writable and non-executable, or non-writable and executable, but not simultaneously writable AND executable.

If you generate executable code at runtime, then you need write access to a page to write the executable code into that page. Then you need to tell the operating system to change the page from writable to executable.

If you then try to write to the page, you’ll get a signal (SIGSEGV or SIGBUS, according to the article).

Oracle’s JVM apparently relies on this behavior: a Java process sometimes tries to write to a page (in its own memory space) that is not marked writable. The JVM then catches the SIGSEGV and recovers (perhaps by asking the operating system to change the page back from executable to writable, or by arranging to write to a different page, or to abort the write operation altogether).

Understanding the Benefits of a Long-Lived Refresh Token
I've always had issues wrapping my head around the benefit of using a long-lived refresh token + short-lived access token pair over a single long-lived access token. While there is no lack of discussion on this topic on YouTube and StackOverflow, I found that most would answer the "what" and "how" but left out the "why".

This is an article I wrote that attempts to further expand on the more common answers found online.

As for cannabis, she doesn't have to smoke it. Appropriate edibles will knock her to sleep. Doesn't have to be a permanent thing either, breaking the cycle and getting good sleep for a few weeks is life changing and may be the start of a virtuous cycle instead.

I'm yet to be convinced there is a single use-case other than iOS development/publishing for someone to want Hackintosh rather than simply installing a well-supported distro like Ubuntu or Fedora.

I tried it a few times and it was always a painful and substandard experience.
I see your points, but I don't want to make compromises for my daily work based on a scenario that's unlikely to ever occur. If the apocalypse comes, I'll gladly use Ubuntu, but in the meantime I'm ok with not reinstalling my OS when I'm somewhere without internet.
One thing to consider is that a lot of what some consider “bad” about macOS is purely subjective and varies depending on the user’s background and mental models. It’s not uncommon for people who grew up on Macs to find operating systems with Windows-esque desktop environments as “bad” as some find macOS.

macOS installs don’t require an internet connection or activation, I’m not sure where that came from. Macs registered with iCloud can be remotely bricked with Find My but that’s completely separate and fully optional.
He’s just parroting a usual HN-ism of ignoring the topic and talking about themselves. I’ve seen the “I used to tinker but now I don’t” line a hundred times as well as the “this doesn’t apply to me so I don’t care - let me tell you how”.

I see sentiments very similar to this on Reddit and some other message boards. Generally the user posting them cut their teeth on Linux or Windows, and has an affinity toward the ux conventions you'd see there. Macs have different ux conventions, not bad ones, just different, and it's not what the poster is expecting.

Some call it baby dick syndrome, The user has imprinted the conventions of their first operating system on themselves, and assumes that they are universally considered "best"
The primary demographic of people interested in Hackintoshing are people who, like the GP in their youth, couldn't afford to just buy "hardware with full compatibility", let alone buy the equivalent-specced Mac.

The secondary demographic of people interested in Hackintoshing are people who have an existing PC (or enough extra parts to build a second PC) and want to figure out how to "make something that can run macOS" out of it, while spending as little money replacing/upgrading parts as possible.

People who buy parts, to build machines from scratch, just to run macOS on them, are a very tiny fraction of the Hackintosh community. (Which is why you so rarely hear stories of Hackintosh builds working the first time with no added tinkering — they can, if you do this, but ~nobody does this.)
> The only area that saw significant retreat in macos is gaming.

Mac gaming is probably getting better thanks to wine, crossover, GPTK and Whisky [1]. I am not a gamer but I have seen others playing serious Windows games like FF7 remake (not sure if that counts) on mac.

Many new traffic signals have reflective yellow frames around them. They're designed to make the signals more visible to humans, but I imagine they will help autonomous vehicles' vision systems find the signals, too.

> I can imagine a declining population, a younger generation, that does not want to reproduce, neither working off the available work.

Luckily the future does not depend on what you can or can't imagine. And no, even if that imagination were accurate, AI would not be the solution for any of those problems. We know the root causes, we know the effects, having a bunch of companies boil the oceans to have AI generate mediocre copy and uninspired illustrations does not help with anything other than making those companies richer and displacing even more workers and shutting down even more career paths.

Young people don't want to have kids or work because all the aspirational goals previous generations had have become unattainable for them, we're counting down the years until the climate catastrophe becomes impossible to ignore even in wealthier countries and there is literally nothing the masses can do because politicians across the world have shown a complete disregard for human life in the face of a global pandemic that had a death toll in the millions before we simply stopped counting.

> So we need systems, that learns human knowledge, refines it, makes it better and takes over all of the work.

And how would that benefit anyone but those who own those systems and charge for its use? How would that benefit the "younger generation"? To the contrary this would seem like it would do what automation always does: drive down wages and reduce workforces while harming workers' ability to bargain for better working conditions.

As tech workers we should take the time to understand that the "Luddites" were not actually opposed to technological advancement but to the consequences of it in a system that always rewards the business but not the worker for an increase in productivity. You don't need to withdraw into a cabin in the woods to realize that the way we have set up the systems that govern us technological progress will always only accelerate the wealth drain to the rich, never reverse it.

And that doesn't even get into how most AI startups are completely unsustainable (as growth-oriented startups tend to be) or how the proliferation of underpriced AI has contributed to the destruction of knowledge via search engine spam, "content generation" and social media bots.

If you want to create fully automated gay luxury space communism, be my guest, but you'll also need to work on the "communism" part if you want to make the "fully automated" part not result in the opposite direction.

I used both Windows and Mac regularly for years, and I have no idea what you're talking about.
I was mentioning in another thread, seeing good furniture made with engineered finger-jointed wood - which looked perfectly nice after finishing and felt super solid. A middle ground probably: not hardwood but very consistent, inexpensive and available by the mile. Probably with a hard finish on it.
England is also a funny example because one of their defining traits is the cultural continuity of the monarchy. Which, as I understand it, is the main justification for why the monarchy still exists today. A person from Chaucer's time transported to London today would have no trouble figuring out who's the king.

Hello: incident.io CEO here. Thank you for the kind words, it's much appreciated. I countersign your last point around business value being in incident response.

There's truth to this: as with all new product categories, there's some education that needs to go along with the sale, and budget that needs to be found, that doesn't currently exist. On the whole, we haven't found this to be a large challenge so far. Most people look at our product, see a very fair exchange of value, and are happy to pay.

However, that isn't why we built On-call. We built it - along with many other reasons - because it's part of the trifecta that we think you need to do incident response well:

1. A way to alert people that something is wrong
2. A way for them to respond, resolve and learn from the incident
3. A way for them to communicate to their customers about it

We have built all of these respectively in On-call, Response and Status Pages. Consolidating all of these into one cohesive product makes obvious sense, to us at least. We'll see what the market says!
Imagine though what all those gaming monkeys would do to the environment if they ran around wanting real swords and horses.
I remember reading a long time ago about how slowly and deliberately the royal family moves. It also matches how characters like James Bond or Don Draper are nonreactive, never startled, always moving correctly. On the other hand, nerdy and anxious characters are always fidgety and clumsy. The main character in Silicon Valley is the best example.

I love how much you can learn about body language from movies, even if the scenes are written around the characters. I don’t Like YouTube PUA types, but Charisma on Command had a really good deconstruction of Don Draper and his demeanour.

Another film favourite of mine is a scene where Clark Kent removes his glasses while talking to Lois Lane who is off camera. His entire body language turns from Clark Kent to Superman.

Abed in Community also does it a lot when he becomes Han Solo or the guy from My Dinner With Andre. You can really see the differences because the same actor is playing different people.
I was also that kid. I remember an OSX upgrade breaking my mouse and I couldn't figure out how to get it working again. I was desperate for a Mac, but it was financially unattainable.
I am surprised to hear that, and I wonder how long this law has existed. When I lived (briefly) in Munich in the '90s, I remember that it seemed quite normal to ride one's bike home from a night out. I wonder whether the culture has changed, so that this is no longer seen as acceptable, or perhaps whether German bicycle-DUI laws are like speed-limit laws in the US, which everyone feels free to break whenever the cops aren't looking.

> Given the high price of the Vision Pro and the resulting low sales, it would make little business sense for app developers to invest in creating apps for it instead of for the Quest 3.

For sure. That’s exactly how it’s played out in iOS vs Android. No developer makes anything for the higher priced, small market iOS, right?
Macs are very expensive in some parts of the world, where other computer brands are affordable. A hackintosh could be a good option, and when somebody learns to do it well they could do it for others for money. Not only installing MacOS on PCs, but also installing newer versions of MacOS on Macs that are officially not supported anymore.

It's not. It's trying to access unmapped or protected memory in its own process.

Basically what its used for is to implement an 'if' that's super fast on the most likely path but super slow on the less likely path.

It's not super clear what its being used for (this is often used for the GC but the fact that graal isn't affected means that likely still works). Possibly they are using this to detect attempts to use inline-cache entries that have been deleted.

I could at least imagine a scenario along the lines of: penniless college student creates a site at a .tk domain. Later, the student gets a job so he is no longer penniless, and meanwhile, his site actually becomes popular, so he signs up for cloudflare, maybe even registers a .com domain, but keeps the .tk domain alive because that's where most his traffic is coming from.

Not sure how common that is. But I don't think it's a given that all sites hosted on .tk domains are unwilling to pay, especially not if you consider that they must be somewhat popular if they need a CDN.

(The sort of personal homepage that most of us had back in the 90s would never need a CDN because it would get 5 hits per week.)
The problem is, significant portion of "real games" used to run on macOS, and all PC games used to run on BootCamp. Now native mac games are all but extinct and cross-platform toolkits seem to be very hit and miss depending on the games (for now).
