>You can receive text messages too

Not really. It isn't that simple, which you'd know if you read only a few comments here. For example, my mother has only one friend with an iPhone. Of all her friends, she is the only one she cannot send images to directly. Her friends iPhone refuses and sends back an "image too large" SMS error message. The only way to get the iPhone to accept the image is to first reduce it in size via an app. Huawei, OnePlus, Samsung, Nokia - they all send and receive just fine (most on the same provider as the iPhone) but if the same image is sent from the iPhone the problem disappears, unless you try to send it back, then the error message reappears.

Then there's all the iMessage versus SMS/MMS/RCS green/blue issues. Read the comments. Apple is using lots of small dirty tricks.
Canadian Gov't Pushes UK's 'Online Harms' Abandonware to Regulate More Speech
It's the main counterexample to 'The Olympics are good because they force the development of infrastructure that otherwise wouldn't get built' argument.

Many of the weird choices about that airport was made so it would be open and useful for the 1976 Olympics. The location was closer to Montreal (but father from Ottawa) in part to make the international arrival experience better for the fans (not for the long-term users of the airport). The plan was 'International flights in time for the Olympics and Domestic flights a couple of years later' as a way to 'show off to the world.'

All this rushing and purpose-building led to suboptimal decision making that ultimately made it a completely wasted investment.

A similar story can be told about Olympic stadium in Montreal.
It was the same for me in my previous apartment. I remember we were even amazed on how closely a plane was flying above the highway shortly before we took the exit towards the apartment when initially visiting, but didn't make the connection to how that would affect the apartment.

In the end, it wasn't a big problem, we got used to it quickly.
Wish this had docker image. I don't want to install npm to spin this up.
Well, people will be forced to save themselves. Other people will be forced to defend. What's weird about it? It doesn't have to be personal. It can be electric fence. Mines. Whatever.

Apparently they actually want to use the ticker symbol DJT, and in fact he used that before and it ended exactly as you say. You don't really need foreknowledge when you can just look at history.
I believe it's more to do with the people making the phones wanting to sell you cloud storage.
Stapleton is now "in Denver". I had never been to Denver until a few years ago, and was out for a run with a running club based out of a sports store in a strip mall in Denver proper. I asked what the control tower was for, and someone said they used it for training, which made sense. It wasn't until later on that I realized it was the OLD Stapleton control tower! Right in town! Surrounded by stores and condos and a park.

Fair enough, I can see that.

> And as for digital wallets, I already trust apple for the OS, I would not see why I would put the effort to download an extra app from a third party I would need to also trust to put bank details

Do you think no one else should be able to build a mobile payment service? Should banks be block from making, say, ChasePay?

It's fine to prefer Apple Pay and to choose Apple Pay even if there are other options. The question is, should everyone be locked into Apple Pay vs choosing Apple Pay because it is better than ChasePay?
I used to use Bulma a lot, but become frustrated by the fact certain items require you to use <a> tags for styling even if you don't want them to be clickable links, which is pretty bad for accessibility.

I mean, what specifically seems not "high quality", "not pleasant", and "kinda sucks"?

Well, a secure border is what defines a country (or at least a country where it is by some weird quick unconstitutional to check papers within it, and anyone born inside is automatically a citizen). A country is a body of people that is able to pick who to include into the club and who not. If it is unable to, or refuses to do so and allows anyone to join, it ceases to exist.
Yep. Anything less than 10 years old is new & untested, anything less than 20 years old is new but probably decently common. Give a tool about 40 years to reach mass adoption (to the point that earlier tools aren't seen often).

I can't imagine it doing any good. It will be accused of partisanship, no matter how non-partisan the construction of the panel.

And they'll probably be right, given that somebody has to put the panel together, and they'll end up nudging it one way or the other. In all likelihood they'll end up with one member representing a specific view, in the name of fairness, and they'll disagree wildly with the final report. The news will consist of discussions between that guy and one other person, making it look like it's an equal-and-opposite argument.

I'm not saying that guy is wrong, or that he's right. I'm saying that I cannot imagine a circumstance in which the result settles anything.
There is a Lua implementation for microcontrollers called NodeMCU.

> Lua based interactive firmware for ESP8266, ESP8285 and ESP32

https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-firmware

A big difference I see between this Lua and PICO-8's is that the former is compiled, whereas the latter is interpreted.

How it manages to run Lua with such limitations, the documentation of Lua Flash Store (LFS) goes into detail.

> The ESP8266 has 96 Kb of data RAM, but half of this is used by the operating system, for stack and for device drivers such as for WiFi support; typically 44 Kb RAM is available as heap space for embedded applications. By contrast, the mapped flash ROM region can be up to 960 Kb, that is over twenty times larger. Even though flash ROM is read-only for normal execution, there is also a "back-door" file-like API for erasing flash pages and overwriting them..

> Lua's design goals of speed, portability, small kernel size, extensibility and ease-of-use make it a good choice for embedded use on an IoT platform, but with one major limitation: the standard Lua RTS assumes that both Lua data and code are stored in RAM, and this is a material constraint on a device with perhaps 44Kb free RAM and 512Kb free program ROM.

> The LFS feature modifies the Lua RTS to support a modified Harvard architecture by allowing the Lua code and its associated constant data to be executed directly out of flash ROM (just as the NoceMCU firmware is itself executed).

> This enables NodeMCU Lua developers to create Lua applications with a region of flash ROM allocated to Lua code and read-only constants. The entire RAM heap is then available for Lua read-write variables and data for applications where all Lua is executed from LFS.

https://nodemcu.readthedocs.io/en/release/lfs/

That's still such a tiny amount of RAM, not nearly enough for PICO-8.

..Oh I see, the project PicoPico mentioned up-thread uses ESP32 Wrover with 4MB PSRAM - instead of Raspberry Pi Pico which it started with but didn't have enough RAM.

Well, having just seen the entrance of the rabbit hole, I can imagine the attraction of PICO-8 and working with such constrained systems - what a challenge!
It's also possible to define custom author-defined features fully within standard CSS syntax, which can then be safely picked up and processed by tools (server side or client-side) and handled without needing a custom language and its own custom syntax. It's a solution that's far, far bigger than the problem it solves.
OK, there is a switch under "Advanced Settings" to enable GPU. Why the fuck is this no-brainer option off by default and "advanced"? Suddenly my 7B Model is shown as inactive and "start" does nothing, gives no error message either ... this is such an unusable alpha version.

I am not trying to say IPv6 is bad (in fact I'm a fan), I am asking what benefits it offers specifically in the context of SSE.

NIMBY is not rational! Its a biased selfish decision that protects ones own, shrouded in "community" -- Except I'm directly involved with my community and none of the loud talking NIMBY's ever show up... GET LOST.
I’m guessing the future of the Yuzu codebase is being self hosted in China or another country that doesn’t care about IP law and all contributions being anonymous.
Good article but it's many thousands of words with one simple answer: noise pollution.

I lived directly under the path of an airport's takeoff vector. Planes would frequently take off just a few hundred feet above my house. You actually get used to it, but as I've gotten older my hearing loss is more than it should be and I suspect that was a major reason.

I agree completely. I'm in my 40s and, at this point, on this topic, I feel like Cypher in the Matrix. Plug me back in and I don't want to understand any of this shit anymore.
Try breaking inside Russia. They have less than half the number of people and much longer border in much harder terrain. Chances of slipping in are around 10%, most of the time, you just get a bullet. They managed to keep it this way (ok maybe a bit less secure, but still mass infiltrations were impossible) even they they were literally a failed state in 1990s. So i don't agree this is somehow difficult. It's a matter of political will and people obeying the law. Just make what's already illegal, illegal indeed.

Sorting who's illegal? Inside the country, sure, it's not obvious. But at the point of entry? Any crossing outside of the designated point of entry - you get a bullet, no questions asked. No one will check if you are a citizen or have a right to enter. Simply a sign "use of deadly force is authorised" and armed patrols 24/7 with enough ammo to stop even large infiltrations.

At the point of entry? You gotta have a passport and a visa. No need for violence. You are just denied entry. Price of mistake is a bus ticket back. What's hard about it?

As for refugees, sure this is a good concept but they should be by invitation only. You escape to whatever country you can escape, then prepare and file papers in the embassy and wait. If there is more perceived propaganda value ("North Korean official escaped Kim regime") or factual ("Russian submarine designer with a suitcase of blueprints") of inviting you than perceived costs of threat, sure welcome, otherwise, why?

Refugee status (just as ANY immigration) exists for the benefit of accepting country. Not for the benefit of the refugee or immigrant themselves.
And it is so much better I routinely pay hundreds more to fly out of Paine Field.
Or the other way around: as a tax with a Georgist flavor. If your land has a value of $x/m^2 when free of zoning restrictions, but your neighborhood really wants to keep it free of noise / traffic / high buildings or high density, and as a consequence land value drops to $y/m^2, that is perfectly fine but it will cost you $x - $y each year.
Honestly, I find this to be such a weird argument. Apple does the same crap with iCloud and people put their hardware on a pedestal when it has the same inherent flaws, often for a much higher price. And maybe you share this opinion, I just want to point out that this hardware from MS is relatively benign in the grand scheme of the PC world.
"exceptionally poor planning" is common in big projects like this.

As soon as the design/planning teams gets big enough that there are many people who barely know eachother, they start competing to the detriment of the whole...

Nobody wants their part late/over budget, so they do things to screw other parts of the project just so their part isn't late or over budget.
The power is negligible compared to the compute. (The disk isn't in stand-by mode If you're doing something that involves transient files.) Moreover, doing the writes now may let you turn the system off. (As long as we're making up situations.)

The goal is optimizing performance as seen by users. Long waits for disk flushes because the system wasted write opportunities is not good performance by any measure.
As I note in my article, the language and style employed in Australian judgments is different from that employed in statute. Furthermore, in common law countries like Australia, you have many legal concepts that have developed independently of statute and either remain independent or have been formalised into statute (see, eg, torts: https://www.alrc.gov.au/publication/traditional-rights-and-f...).
Huh. I have to say as a Gen Xer that it's hard to find articles that celebrate cool stuff we do or did, or even ones that condemn us for the mistakes of our generation. Instead we get these "Let's pity the poor confused Gen Xers" bits. Meanwhile you can't throw a stone without hitting a meme that mocks millennials.

Back in the day I thought GenX was all about rebellion, absurdism, and a laugh-behind-your-hand-while-you-take-the-check anti-corporate stance. That's still working for me and I'm having the time of my life learning or dying because that _is_ life.

Anyway get off my lawn, I have to go ask an AI how to manage people.

It’s the other way around, I think. We probably underestimate the amount of direct moderator intervention, both for stories and comments. It’s their full time job.

Ask yourself: what do you think Dan’s team does all day, every day, if not make decisions that influence the site? His comments are all that are publicly visible, so most people assume he just writes comments — an assumption as far from the truth as can be. And most people have no idea that there are even other members of the team, let alone know what they do.

This is by design. HN works best when people are focused on the content, not the site. It’s one of the most influential newspapers in the world, precisely because it focuses on the content. And you’d be kidding yourself if you feel they don’t decide which stories should stay on the front page, every day, a dozen times. Again, it’s their whole job.

Note that them seeing a story and allowing it to stay is also a choice, even though it’s implicit. So them doing nothing because they chose to let a story stay is not the same thing as them doing nothing because the community chose to put it there. Frankly, you wouldn’t want to visit HN if it was community run, because the community is terrible about choosing which stories should be on the front page. This has been proven true for over a decade, and the main reason Dan doesn’t come out and say so is because it’s one of those things that shouldn’t be said out loud. There’s no reason to call attention to how utterly awful the majority of users’ decisions are about what should be on the front page.

Remember, millions of people visit the site now. You wouldn’t want that many people to try to decide. The voting system is an indicator to the mods of potential community interest, but it’s ultimately up to the editors what stays and what goes.

People call this favoritism or censorship or other frankly silly terms, but there’s nothing sinister about it. The way onto the front page is simple: make something that someone bookish would find interesting or surprising. The "surprising" criteria is the trickiest part, because it covers what most people mean by "newsworthy" (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39778999). But HN has a particular kind of newsworthiness that filters out the majority of stories that the majority of users want to put on the front page.

It’s a tricky subject, and it’s long past time someone should write an essay to explain it all. I’m not quite sure how to do that without angering the community xor mods, but it would be interesting if it were possible. One reason this idea appeals to me is because I’d like to at least thank all of the dozens of people who help run HN behind the scenes; they rarely get any kind of recognition, because they don’t need it, let alone want it. But that makes them worth thanking all the more.
I miss the very plain pickup trucks with a single cab and an 8 foot bed. I miss manual everything (windows, locks, mirrors, etc). The old beater farm truck is not exactly dead, but it is getting harder to find something that can be mostly be mostly used around the farm but also driven the 10-15 miles to town for supplies or just as a second car when needed.

In a world full of SERIOUS BUSINESS ALL THE TIME it’s nice to see something decide to be fun for the sake of it. It’s a cool digital homage to cartridges, which are basically also rectangles with cool graphics on them that run a game.
For folks that have worked with Apple, since the 1980s, it’s sort of surreal, to see this happening.

We remember Apple as this scrappy, scruffy outfit, struggling to stay alive.

We never dreamed that they would ever get to the place, where they would be sued as a monopoly.

I remember the old WWDCs, when you could just walk up to anyone at Apple (including Steve), and just start chatting. If you did talk to Steve, he might not be so nice, responding, but you didn't have bodyguards or bouncers.

Those days, they are long gone.

I have a friend that worked for Apple for a while. He told me that his onboarding training had a special section on dealing with "The Principals."

Basically, if you passed Tim or Craig, or somesuch, in the hallway, you were to act as if they weren't there. Avoid eye contact, don't say hi, no nods, etc.
If it comes with severance, I celebrate it - relax, clear my mind of the old chapter, think about what to do next, and simply enjoy some down time.

Your career will have multiple chapters. Sometimes you control when pages get turned, sometimes you do not. But don't hold too tightly to any of it, and don't let it define who you are. When change comes... live the rest of your life and look for something new to begin.
It was trivially easy to set up Yuzu or Ryujinx to play switch games that haven’t even launched yet without even owning a switch. That definitely has some sort of impact on Nintendo’s business.

More importantly Yuzu was known to essentially have a culture of not caring about the DMCA themselves. I don’t think they did anything illegal in the emulator code but they did totally have a private pirated game stash and were selling TOTK compatible builds via Patreon before the game released which violates basically every rule of clean room disassembly.
Ah. Thank you. The same concept goes under different names, so one needs to search for all of "exogenous variables", "external regressors", "external factors" and "covariates".
You have to understand why someone would find this surprising though right? Its counter to all human nature I have observed. It's like telling me you have water running uphill on your property, I'm right to have questions, the most reasonable explanation is some sort of trickery is at play.

>I have always wondered why we don't structure payments of some form to balance out the local costs of infrastructure etc. NIMBY is rational with the economics as they are; but would you really be as opposed to a local power plant if energy costs for the area near the plant were subsidized by some percentage? Balance out the local costs with a local benefit.

I've seen this proposed for various things like onshore wind farms (e.g. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-60864097), but there usually has to be a limit to the subsidy/discount/bribe - otherwise it wouldn't be viable for the company that wants the infrastructure.

I saw something suggested in the region of 25% discount on electricity bill for people near such a site, for up to 10 years. I don't think that such a temporary benefit would be enough to convince me of having something nearby if I thought it was permanently detrimental to the neighbourhood or my property. (Not that I'm claiming to be a NIMBY).
