Linebarger is also the source of my anecdote about making it easier for german soldiers to surrender by giving them a "Surrender Form" to fill out and hand to Allied troops, with all the standard bureaucratic fields they were accustomed to in civilian life.

(His Psychological Warfare is well worth reading; not only does he warn the reader up front that PSYWAR operators are not always to be taken at face value, but I believe both 1948 and 1954 versions can be easily be read between the lines as promoting racial integration in the DoD; compare https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_9981 )
Let me put in a word for The National Museum of Computing, www.tnmoc.org in Bletchley Park, where you can see the real thing (I can’t remember which state of refurbished/rebuilt/replica it is), along with a replica bombe, EDSAC (being built), the marvellously blinkenlicht-y WITCH, and (literal!) tons of other old computers. It’s an easy excursion by train from London, and you can combine it with a visit to bletchleypark.org.uk (it’s the same site).
The CCP is communist like I'm Chinese. They're just run-of-the-mill nationalist authoritarians.
While both paternalism. Requiring safety features on a saw does not restrict free speech. It's more akin to seatbelt laws. It's also made to protect everyone who uses a table saw and not just children.

Imo, I do think social media needs to be reeled in by policy. But I can see why it makes people uncomfortable and why there is a difference with the saw.

I absolutely can’t imagine any mobile game where that latency would be significant in any shape or form.

Also, is that latency significant in the first place? Don’t you base it on some bad hardware?
PHP has a special place in the story of the web-dev.

The whole "no build step" was the most underrated factor for its success, because it was such a low-skill tool to pick up.

The tightness of that edit-test-move loop was why I used it, even if the "edit" included "sftp it to a vhost".

That bit is what made it successful & I can't think of anything I've used in the last decade which felt as easy as PHP for that particular style of self-taught programmer.
I guess it's now called monolithic when you don't split your core features into 10 microservices each?
Yes, that was my impression as well when I looked at it yesterday. The monotonic_linux() bit that's quoted is platform-specific because it uses CLOCK_BOOTTIME with clock_gettime(), but that seems supported on BSD systems as well. It's probably just that no one tried to run it, and no one spent any effort on it. I can't find a single mention of "BSD" in the issue tracker.
When you have buckets of money to throw at cloud spend, then yeah the tech stack might not matter quite as much. "Just throw more hardware at the problem" can sometimes work.

The Bosch system was totally different, sounds superior on several fronts, and SS were only able to stop it by dint of technicalities and plain flaws in the US patent and legal system that allows frankly absurd arguments to win, and most pointedly, SS were willing to do exactly that. Not because Bosch stole anything from them, not because Bosch were sonehow harming users by doing the SS system but not as well as official SS, not because of any justifiable reason except that they physically could.

There is no way to justify SS actions.

> Well the pair I have have quite decent ANC.

Without mentioning the model I have to believe you, although at least where I live, you can't get ANC earbuds for $30 today, let alone 2 years ago.

> Things change fast, you really don't have to spend $100 to get decent earbuds.

It's a matter of what you value. I use my earbuds every day, and good ergonomics is something I'm willing to pay a bit more. I was recently researching headphones and there was always some ergonomic compromise. It might be a good value if price is an important concern for you, but it's just not worth to compromise in this aspect for me.
Interesting point you bring up. With e-commerce, I am surprised that malls can work at all.

There is a brand new, massive and beautifully designed mall in The Netherlands called Westfield Mall of the Netherlands.

I went there once to quickly grab something and I got hopelessly lost, even while my phone navigation actually was able to display and navigate the layout of the mall, due to the sheer size I underestimated the navigational challenge my little trip would pose.

The mall really blew me away with its beauty and I am still completely flabbergasted how this can work financially, I perhaps incorrectly assumedthat everybody is like me, ordering everything online.

Although hard to believe, your argument may actually have a lot of thruth in it.
Django + DRF is still fine, and is still a good choice. Especially for smaller projects that are expected to have a long lifetime with few resources available for maintenance.

Django is stable, well-known, and offers very long LTS. It's easy to find people who have experience on it, it is well documented and performs well enough for 95% of exiting websites.

You can quite easily convert DRF serializers to TS types/models, that you can then use in your preferred flavor of frontend framework.
AWS and GCP aren't that expensive. The smaller instancss are ~$10 a month which is comparable to hared hosting.

The good thing is you can spin up/down quickly, which is not always possible with some of those SHPs who want month-to-month commitments.
I work in healthcare economics and this is false.

There are no healthcare system in the world where the budget is “high enough to be virtually infinite”.

All health systems are all heavily, heavily constrained by budget. The US system is the least constrained (i.e. if you want the latest cancer care paid for, the US is the place with the highest probability it’ll happen), but since there are thousands of insurance plans it’s not even and any two patients may have plans that make different trade offs.

And governments do the very similar math as the insurance companies when it comes to cost-benefit analyses - that’s how they design their benefit offerings.

The difference between systems like Canada (with universal care) and the US is that in Canada the end user doesnt see how the sausage is made.

That’s because the trade offs are the same for everyone and doctors know a given trade off has been made and the technology that is not paid for is just not even brought up to the patient.
I am pretty sure this is possible on Arch Linux, too!

Show HN: I built SimplySplit.today for fast and easy bill splitting
Hey HN! I frequently pick up the tab for restaurant bills and, as the only one with DashPass, group delivery orders too. I always found it a pain to figure out how much people owed me afterwards, and existing solutions annoyed me with all their additional friction and overhead (I counted 8 clicks and 5 full screen changes just to add a single line item!).

I decided to take matters into my own hands and built SimplySplit. It's clean, responsive, mobile-friendly, and makes splitting bills super fast. Also it has dark mode because why not :)

I appreciate you reading through this and would love any feedback or feature requests (and if you like it, leave a like on ProductHunt! https://www.producthunt.com/posts/simplysplit). Hope this tool is a pleasure to use and solves a problem that you had!
I think we should go even further: ban all phones during school hours. There is absolutely no reason that kids need to have a phone in school. If the parent needs to reach them, then call the school office who can get your kid on the line. There is no emergency so dire that a few minutes' delay in talking to your child will make a meaningful difference.
If fixing technical debt after the fact costs more than 10months of operating. You have a problem. Not counting the extra hours needed to maintain an archaic codebase. This was more about the uncertainty of threads succeeding. It’s easier to swallow writing off a port than a brand new implementation.

The patients know this. Asking for consent would still yield the vast majority of the data.

It would also mean more people analyzing it - I know at least one big pharma company that won't touch patient data that was taken without consent because they don't want to be associated with such unethical practices.
Sure, but there are so many skills to focus on, that one can hardly expect people to stay off drugs because one lesson was spent on how bad it is.

Not the parent but I had similar experience: I could open an account by ING.

Opened end of 2022, fully online. I have italian citizenship; my residence title was just... resident? I had the Anmeldung for the apartment I was living in.

But it wasn't all easy. I needed:

- A german telephone number.

- A document (with a MRZ) with my german address in it.

- Not sure but maybe they also asked about my job?

The document was critical for me; I had to go to my embassy and apply for a new id that had my german address.

Also everything was fully in german, no english whatsoever.

File Manager, or winfile.exe, was the predecessor to Explorer's file management aspects. You can use it on Windows 10 and 11 (and all the others) if you want to.

Program Manager, or progman.exe, was the predecessor shell to Explorer. It was included with Windows through Windows XP SP1 before finally being stubbed in SP2 and removed altogether in Vista. You can probably grab the binary from XP SP1 and run it in newer Windows versions, though.

I work with Django and while it’s true there is an unshakeable old-school vibe to it (Is it the docs? The SO posts from 2009? The source code with plenty of Python 2 era code?), other than proper async support, I don’t feel anything about it prevents me from making modern apps. I like my clients separate, so I do. And if I had to build a system with different services (without a specific async requirement), then I might as well patch a few Django services together…

you have many ways you can solve the issues without ristricting free speach.

you can ristrict how you can monitize a product - I think the problem would be much smaller if you have to pay a price congruent to the value you get. Only a few people would pay for Facebook.

you can make the platforms resposinsible for what is published on them and enforce that. they would never scale this much.

> And just like the Supreme Court wrote 30 years ago, the answer is the same today: if you don't like these products and feel they are negative, then don't use them.

We have already collectively agreed that this is not an argument. That is why there are agencies like the FDA, etc.

Show HN: Music notation training app with Web MIDI
Hello HN! It seems there has been an influx of MIDI projects as of late. I myself also got inspired to work on one last January.

I had become frustrated in not being able to read my old sheet music without counting the notes mentally. I thought there had to be an easier way to learn them, I surveyd some apps but none of them felt right to me. So I decided to build one myself and learn some music theory too.

I'm quite happy how it turned out, in the end. My sheet-reading has improved substantially although playing and remembering notes is two different things. It works best if you use MIDI but I have tried to make it work without it. With iOS there might be some issues left, dont have an iPhone to really debug it.

I'd love to hear feedback and general opinions!

My point is that Americans won't see it the way you and I do.

>mass transit is much faster than driving, including walking, escalators, and elevators

It really depends; it's hard to compare. If you have a route in the US that's mostly highway and you avoid rush hour, you can get to your destination very quickly. If it's a bad route and/or rush hour, it can be hellish. Many people I work with have hour+ long commutes; it's not unusual at all. It usually takes me 45-60 minutes to get to various locations in Tokyo, and I'm not even that far outside the central district; it really depends whether I have to change trains though. Cars really can get you places quickly, but the problem is the whole thing breaks down if there's too much traffic. Not to mention the stress factor and expense.

>Yes, you have to walk a little, but we are not talking about a hike.

It's frequently a 5-15 minute walk from a station to your destination. Of course, land closer to stations is more valuable because of this, so apartments closer to stations are more expensive. But many people have to walk 10+ minutes to get home from the station, after climbing all the stairs to get out. For most Americans, that really is "a hike".

>In fact for most people, it’s not even enough walking to compensate for their sedentariness.

Yes, but we're talking about people here who fight over parking spaces that are 50 feet closer to the door of their Walmart.

>Also you are talking about subway stations but I doubt that there isn’t a denser bus network in Tokyo to get you to the subway stations fast and dry.

No, there really isn't. There are buses, but they generally only serve routes that are very poorly served by the trains. They're also not as convenient or fast as the trains. The network definitely isn't "denser" than the trains at all. They can be handy to save you a bit of walking when there's a typhoon though.

>It’s also SO MUCH LESS stress than traffic jams.

Agreed, but again we're talking about Americans here: people who would rather drive around in circles in the Walmart parking lot just so they can find a space 50 feet closer to the door.

So my point here is, it's not a panacea like many pro-transit Americans seem to believe. It's a very different lifestyle. I personally am happy with it and the tradeoffs, but car-brained Americans will not be.
Like opencl was an open alternative? Or HSA? Or HIP? Or openmp? Or spir-v? There are lots of GPU programming languages for amdgpu.

Opencl and hip compilers are in llvm trunk, just bring a runtime from GitHub. Openmp likewise though with much more of the runtime in trunk, just bring libhsa.so from GitHub or debian repos. All of it open source.

There's also a bunch of machine learning stuff. Pytorch and Triton, maybe others. And non-C++ languages, notably Fortran, but Julia and Mojo have mostly third party implementations as well.

I don't know what the UXL foundation is. I do know what sycl is, but aside from using code from intel I don't see what it brings over any of the other single source languages.

At some point sycl will probably be implemented on the llvm offload infra Johannes is currently deriving from the openmp runtime, maybe by intel or maybe by one of my colleagues, at which point I expect people to continue using cuda and complaining about amdgpu. It seems very clear to me that extra GPU languages aren't the solution to people buying everything from Nvidia.
It's not an unpopular opinion, a lot of people like things to be quiet and peaceful; if it wasn't for job opportunities and boredom I suspect a lot of people would prefer to live in the countryside (in the broadest sense of the word). Only a few people thrive in busy circumstances, those were the ones that were climbing up the walls after two weeks of lockdown.
NB: that's from 12 years ago. HipHop didn't last long; a JITted PHP runtime (HHVM) replaced it at Facebook a few years later. Vanilla PHP also got a lot faster around versions 7 and 8.
Again where is the hole?

>> "What About the Waste?"

Two people who 1. are not scientist 2. are not in the industry are giving their thoughts on something. (Nuclear is safe, but the nuclear industry doesn't agree with us is a very bad selling point)

https://energy.sandia.gov/programs/nuclear-waste-management/...

Or this

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-term_nuclear_waste_warnin...

Another sandia project.

So you want to get advice from randoms on the internet, I want my advice from the lab that has been working on this for its entire existence. The lab (and its adjacent labs) that mint most of the PhD in and around high end nuclear research. I'll listen to actual experts, you can listen to the internet ones.

-------------

IF they shut down pickering tomorrow, and decon the site, where does the material go? It's a question that the Japan does not have as it takes apart fukushima. They are building more plants to further dewater the concentrates from cooling. They have 800 tons of building that is highly contaminated that has to go somewhere for a few 1000 years. Again nuclear is safe till we stop keeping all those materials tightly controlled.

The thing is there is a place in the world where there is a LOT of loose spent nuclear material just floating around in the open: https://hir.harvard.edu/depleted-uranium-devastated-health-m...

Candidly if nuclear is safe then we could go to Iraq and do the study and have the result that "it's not that bad". No one seems keen to fund this study, and likely for a good reason.

And as for Chernobyl:
https://blog.ucsusa.org/lisbeth-gronlund/how-many-cancers-di...

Or this from 2016:
https://inis.iaea.org/search/search.aspx?orig_q=RN:49089634

All of that and any number your going to site for Chernobyl is nonsense. 20 year old data tracking excess cancer deaths is going to be really stale. Here's what you can know, that even in 2005 the people who would have been most impacted, the liquidators, were calling those numbers into question. Much like any good insurance company if you reject the claim till the victim dies then you dont really have to pay...

I suspect that in 20 years we're going to get a VERY different story out of Japan. That the cost is going to be measured, tracked and look much different. In fact were already seeing some of that today: https://apnews.com/article/science-health-accidents-tokyo-dd...

But the UN said it was fine... sadly the latest research just shot most of the defense for this down: https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6694/15/18/4583
If they find a workaround, they will still be unable to sit there around the clock, which is decent reduction of consumption. Also there won't be many, just like smoking schoolkids, so no social pressure. You can ban it completely or you can have your lovely bookface 1 hour per day, why not, it's dangerous when they spend there 10 hours per day.
Community need not be tight for change to occur. A random stranger calling you out on your shit is just as effective. Maybe even more effective as it doesn't always hit so hard when someone you are comfortable with says it.
> How true is your experience at a major international airport, which most travelers use

I show up to JFK about 45 minutes before boarding in the early weekday AM, or, if I have the misfortune of having to check a bag, about 75 minutes before. (Same for SFO, PHX and IAD.) American airports are far more efficient, for frequent fliers, than European ones are for Europeans.

Wow. So this is how "evergreening" works? You patent enough of it that nobody can replicate it, but not everything, then every couple of years you patent one more non-obvious detail even though it's already included in v1?

I always thought patenting has to happen before first public use. I wonder if that's different in Europe.

But now the employer knows about it, they should be able to make these facilities available to any of their employees or contractors who might be able to use them, in a way which could benefit the employer.

For example, if someone has to work overtime in an emergency, allowing them to stay the night in one of these apartments could allow them to save commuting time and be better rested for the next day, which could improve performance (and reduce safety risks due to tiredness). Or, if someone needs to be rostered on-call to respond to unexpected events, having them stay in one of these apartments may improve their response time if they are called in
