I don't think it's interesting enough to write a blog but helpful/difficult enough that it should go somewhere, maybe as just a 5 line explanation and some code samples. I wonder if there is a site for infrequently asked questions similar to stack overflow but for people to document niche short things and make obscure links more discoverable with a gelbooru-esq tagging system. If that doesn't exist, I would definitely build one myself if not just to host my own collection of random snippets
The subset of the youth population for whom attending college has both personal and societal benefits has been far exceeded for some time now. Classic case of subsidies inducing excessive demand, along with all the negative effects on prices (tuition), supply (bloated admins, more graduates than jobs), and time/money opportunity cost borne by the students and the institutions optimizing for capacity.

I'm sure your anecdotal experience is true for you, but funding is not linked to clearance rates. Counter to copaganda, police are worse at solving cases compared to 30 years ago, even as crime rates have fallen dramatically and funding has increased.

If you think preventing and solving crimes, then American police are objectively bad at their jobs. If you think of police as revenue generators, then they're good at it. Because the police spend all their time on things like traffic citations. Even the police unions occasionally say the quite part out loud, like when the NYPD union famously said that they would not arrest anyone "unless absolutely necessary". Unsurprisingly to people that have looked into policing, crime doesn't increase during police work slowdowns.

It is baffling that in 2024 that my appliances don't have a battery backup for the time. It costs less than 50 cents and requires the battery be changed no more than every 20 years.

I would suggest you to tap the inputs to the speaker to get preout equivalent of audio signal using audio transformers that support the input impedance equal to the speaker impedance. Once pre out is achieved, then it is easy to record
Maybe someone here can help me remember. I had a PalmOS app that I loved, back in the day, and I can't remember what it was called. It was a shareware clock app, with hand-drawn time that animated from one numeral to the next. I used to use it as an alarm clock, in my Sony Clie dock, by my bed. Would love to see it again.
There certainly seems to be a full on assault on anything that might threaten the current US Democratic Party. Scary times!!
> This is a really weird assertion to make

The problem is the US government has propped up milk, just like it has propped up high fructose corn syrup. It has chosen winners artificially against market forces. Unfortunately some of its choices also affect the health and well being of the population (losing HFCS might not be bad?)

The only decent reason I can find to do this is strategic domestic food independence (calorie wise) and prevention of some black swan famine.
It could – but it could just as easily (either accidentally or on purpose) broadcast the wrong time, greatly annoying everybody within broadcast distance.

Of course the same is also possible for WWVB, but at least there, I suspect that some agencies might take objection and convince you to stop sooner or later.
First, wtf is a "Republican high school student" ? How does a teenager "identifying" as a Republican or Democrat mean much beyond either trying to please or rebel against their parents? Wouldn't this type of analysis make much more sense in terms of parents? Like perhaps Republican parents are more likely to steer their kids away from college due to this perceived trend of "hyper-liberalism" ?

Second, it's gone from merely sloppy to outright fallacious to throw around "Republican" and "conservative" as if they're synonyms, when in 2024 they're completely opposed. With the rise of Trumpism (populist reaction, to use Moldbug's own word), the Democratic party has basically been left as the home of conservatives - strong foreign policy, fiscal responsibility (pulling up from ZIRP), the rule of law, belief in societal institutions, and so on.

Tying these two points together points the way towards useful synthesis - bureaucracy heavy college campuses have actually gotten hyper-conservative (witness the harsh responses against protests of Israel's genocide - still not much "progress" there!). But it's conservatism based on the values of "intersectional" identity politics that have become part of the zeitgeist over the past several decades. The "culture war" already ended some time in the oughties, with the religious fundamentalists losing. Or did you buy into that nonsense that Fortune 500 companies are advertising with rainbow flags to "push an agenda", rather than merely tying their brands to the majority's values?

I'm quite sure there are still actual liberals on college campuses - seeing through the "intersectional" pantheon, but not falling for the comforting destructive reactionary nonsense either - looking forward to actual true progress past both. But as always, the revolution will not be televised and all that. The only question is whether us oldies will listen or if they'll have to begrudgingly wait for our deaths, too.
I like the idea of using a SCSI adapter or cable and then making a hard drive image, which can then be booted in an emulator or mounted in Linux (or NetBSD, or older MacOS?) using the hfs filesystem. Could also use hfstools.

Making a localtalk adapter is also a cool idea. There seem to be localtalk implementations (tashtalk) for PIC microcontrollers. Someone even made a localtalk-wifi gateway.

I'm not sure it's what you intended, but this sounds like you might be saying that a perfectly acceptable future would be to have an elite class of educated, left-leaning liberals who go to college, while their conservative, right-leaning peers go to trade schools. Not all that different than today, just codified, concretized into an actual, literal class system. This feels dystopian to me, and probably would have a bad outcome.

While I definitely agree that going into a trade is a great option, which should be (and, I think, sort of is) destigmatized, the problem I see is that not many plumbers or electricians get elected to congress, or the presidency, or head the gigantic tech and finance companies that rule the world. I want diverse viewpoints among my ruling elite, if I have to have them (which I do). Even if it means I don't agree with all them, and they don't agree with me, I think it's probably better in the long run. Just trying to avoid handing my grandchildren an eloi/morlock future.
Yeah, you got it. The construction you used isn't susceptible to this particular flaw, though it still has others (e.g. predictability of the state updates, related-input attacks, etc). If the state size is reasonably close to the output size, you might still have statistical issues for similar reasons that the iterative construction fails. Whether any of these are relevant depends on the context.

I've been meaning to write some kind of public exploration on this stuff so people can tell me some other source explains it better, but haven't made the time to do more than write code like the blake2b demo I had handy to spit out numbers.
Why do you pay for ChatGPT Pro if you could just use the AI
There's a 500 pound gorilla in the room:

Young men have collectively checked out of a society that has nothing but contempt for them. When the supermajority in academia have nothing good to say about you, opine about how "toxic" your existence is, and openly deride your struggles... who would want to spend four years and tens of thousands of dollars to be "lectured" by those people?

When men are suffering from record levels of depression, dying from suicide and drug overdoses at rates never seen, still being openly discriminated against and laughed at, supporting the system that not only allows, but encourages that behavior is ridiculous.

I literally just a few minutes ago setup Linux (Kubuntu 24.04) on a new laptop (Framework). It was insert USB drive, press power button, select the drive to boot, wait a few seconds for live OS, run the "Install Now" app on the desktop, hit "Next" a few times, wait about 5 minutes for the install to complete, and restart and remove the disk. Can't get much simpler to setup a fresh system.

For other fun surprises that are rather obvious from the implementation but still surprise people quite regularly: wait until you see how much slower context keys are when compared to thread locals, particularly since it's normal for contexts to contain MANY layers (as opposed to errors, which are frequently* returned without wrapping at almost any level). It's a glorified linked-list lookup, and it re-walks the whole path every time.

But for both contexts and errors: imo the tradeoff is overwhelmingly in favor of wrapping more, not less, in the vast majority of code. Context is useful and standard for many things, and wrapped errors carry a lot more useful information, and both of those are absolutely crucial for healthy interop with other code. Performance sensitive stuff can do whatever it needs, these are obviously terrible choices there so just don't even consider it.

* but not always! and it may change with time. Still, my contexts are regularly 10+ layers deep while my errors are rarely more than one or two.
That's the thing, I think he gets a pass on that. Probably doesn't get a pass on the lockdown or money printing, but no reasonable person blames the president for an illness.

>>> Immigration programs like H1B also sucked the market out of low end education required jobs so employers never had to reach out to entice rural kids to getting degrees and joining them.

The City Makes the Civilization
It's also this way in smaller towns. I live in a small north GA town and you can ask the cops to come by your house during the holidays to see if anyone has broke in. Cops here are much more useful than when I'm in SoCal where I could even get cops to show up within an hour when a hit and run caused me to crash into someones back yard and total my car.
Where are you fetching the recipes from?
Given that most clocks listen for it about once per day, if that, to save battery, and in my experience even then only manage to catch the signal every couple of days, high continuous availability doesn't really seem to be a concern.
Every time I go to reach for rough.js I get a bit uncomfortable when I read this:

handy is LGPLv3, but rough.js is MIT. This line makes me think parts of rough.js are actually LGPLv3, as those parts are derivative works.

In practice this is unlikely to negatively impact me but I'm not super pleased by the uncertainty.
Ask HN: How to find subdomains and paths for a website

Your comment epitomizes the staunch posturing of the expressive political circus that brought this case in the first place.

> "therefore today he's a criminal and a felon"...

This token is repeated ad nauseam. As if the objective is less about justice and more about political ammo; gleeful celebration of tokenized, distributed memes and sound bites. Biden had his prepared statement ready to go: "Nobody is above the law"..."Trump is dangerous" etc.

Your comment begins with "you don't understand", followed by "you didn't pay attention". So simple! You're basically saying "if only your cognitive abilities weren't so lacking, you'd see the trial wasn't a circus at all. Nothing to see here!"

USA is a hugely important ally to my country. We want USA to do well, no matter what party is in power. I wish more people would get behind their president while they're in office, regardless of whether they voted for them or not. Same in my country. It's clear that significant cohorts seek to tear people down with endless negativity, even advocating civil unrest if their choice of president doesn't eventuate. Left and right, tantrum politics is the norm. If you can't see the circus, you are unable to remove yourself from the circus tent.

As a hobbyist Benthos user (and an admirer of Benthos), I'm a bit nervous about the "buyout".

But I think I get the logic -- RedPanda maintains support (and a bit of control) of a very useful tool that complements RedPanda's core product (a drop-in Kafka replacement). In simple terms, RedPanda is stateful, Benthos is stateless, and Benthos is great for getting things into and out of a stateful thing.

Commoditize your complements, as Joel Spolsky said. [1]

Make it so no one can hinder developers getting data into (or out of) your database / message broker / stateful thing, and you'll reap the low-friction rewards of "developers finding it really easy to get stuff into and out of your system."

So I think I'm somewhat optimistic about all this.

I think you underestimate the number of people who thought "they can't impeach a president for getting a blowjob" and actually meant it rather than using it as a tool of political expediency. Those people don't see this as justice. I think more people are principled than not.
Do you have a reference for that? The variance of most traits will increase as the variance and volatility of the environment increases. My guess is that the variance in stature in countries like Holland and Sweden has actually decreased significantly over the last 100 years. Military recruitment records would be the place to start looking.

But I honestly do not know the answer. Perhaps I should ask an LLM. But this might be a goid place to start instead.

There's still a big difference between "a surreptitious hack is technically possible with future development and getting you to accept a bad patch" versus "the company is actively using sketchy powers and trying to make them constant and socially normalized."

In the other, some corporate drone bafflegabs about it enabling superior customer satisfaction synergies, while pointing to a tiny clause in an enormous contract of adhesion to claim everybody knowingly agreed to it.

You get in because you're predestined to? Sounds pretty simple to understand.

Or go to heaven because of faith alone, if you subscribe to a different strain of Christianity.

Or go to heaven because of faith and good works, if you subscribe to yet a different strain of Christianity.

They were proprietary and made by only one company. So there was a bit of a battle between Zip, SyQuest and LS120 ("SuperDisk")

What I don't get is why Magneto-Optical didn't take off. 3.5" disks that were essentially MiniDisc but not proprietary (there were drives and disks from several manufacturers), faster than Zip, and eventually got upgraded to over 1 GB capacity disks. They were huge in Japan where they became a de-facto standard, but mostly unheard of in the rest of the world.

One of the things I’ve found most interesting about reading pulp era fiction like Doc Smith’s Lensmen series or de Camp’s Lest Darkness Fall is how a surprising number of those works assume that the reader is at least passingly familiar with the mechanics of organized election fraud, simply as basic cultural knowledge. You can tell from the technical vocabulary they use to describe various roles played in political machines and other context clues.

Isn’t it wonderful that we live in a progressive and enlightened age where electoral fraud never occurs to a significant degree? Especially not in the most important elections where billions if not trillions are on the line.

If that was the case you'd hear about it in every single "Wayland is bad" video, instead of the usual focus on nvidia (which I also have no issues with, even using Prime).
