The strength of Forth is pretty well highlighted in this post: you are free to create your own thing, quickly. But it makes it entirely personal, non-standard and alien.
Yet its simplicity definitely makes it also learnable for people who understand low-level hardware, which becomes less and less common.

It is strange for the time of the story, OP's teammates didn't pick up his system and made theirs (as a team). But yeah. When a guy comes in and is allowed to do things differently and succeed when you didn't because you had to follow arbitrary rules, you have to make a conscious effort not to take a passive-aggressive stance against them and under-estimate what they are using and doing. I know that feeling.

These days certainly aversion to risk makes it extremely difficult to go that route (although Forth, Inc. mentioned in TFA is still alive). The unavoidable complexity of today's software is not really a major problem that the author points out near the end, as you can fight with the same tools as everyone else in Forth, e.g. dealing with a stupidly complex thing like XML by just using one of the zillions of C XML library from Forth.

One thing to mention is that Forth was around the JPL probably because Chuck Moore began his career and created Forth in the astronomy field [1].

> If you ever come across a bright teenager getting lulled into communism keep this in mind as a very edifying example of the pitfalls of that system.

Ironically, the Soyuz family of spacecrafts still flies to this day.

On the other hand, it's not the communists that knowingly sent a defective, leaking Boeing spacecraft into space because a cancellation would have been disastrous for a project so flawed it should never have been authorised to fly in the first place. And the consequences of that decision to fly are so severe that they are postponing a return to avoid probable death.

Nor is the communists that overruled fixing issues with a criticality 1 labelled item, leading to loss of Challenger and the death of 7 astronauts.

And last, but not least, it is not the communists that forgot the costly lessons of their complacency, leading to the loss of Columbia and the death of an other 7 astronauts.

And here we are again, 21 years later. Non-communists, yet complacently sending astronauts to their deaths because corners were cut. The only thing that changed is the ideology being revered. Personally, I don't believe that shareholder return is an improvement..

That's very dangerous even if you strictly follow the speed limit. It's a separate problem.
>Take a look at Apple's Private Cloud Compute white paper [1] and explain how Apple's supposed to make it DMA-compliant without sacrificing its security and privacy guarantees.

Why should I figure it out for them? That's why they have so many highly skilled well paid engineers on their payroll, to solve stuff like this.

It's not my job to solve their cloud architecture design issues. Why don't they use some of that 24 Billion in EU revenue to engineer it to be EU privacy compliant?

And excuse me for not trusting their own biased interpretation of the reasoning why their clod architecture is incompatible with EU regulations. I have as much trust in that explanation as in a school kid explaining how he can't do his homework because his dog is eating it.

Why aren't cooperative business models more common among software companies? Starting a software company typically doesn't require a large amount of capital, especially with open source projects where individual contributions can play a significant role. In these cases, a cooperative model could effectively distribute ownership among the contributors, essentially making them co-owners. This approach seems simpler than managing a hybrid of nonprofit and for-profit elements.

Over the past few days there have been a few "angry" rants that made the home page (state of JS, a data science article).

People were rather dismissive of the tone of those articles. Anger was some how an unacceptable emotion.

Yeah, my impression is that B happened earlier in Haskell.

1. Let's create a super advanced type inference system so that you can write Haskell like a dynamic language but have it be static.

2. Oops, now when you make a mistake, it propagates through your program and causes a type error somewhere completely different.

3. New code style rule: you may omit type signatures on local functions, but always place them on top-level functions so that they serve as a barrier to incorrect type inferences.
It doesn’t matter, people are starving.

> Various people I know (including me) can hear music in their heads, almost like a recording

Same, happening to me right now, happens automatically almost every morning when I wake up, which kind of gives me my own "soundtrack of the day" and enjoy the ride.

Sometimes the song is stuck in repeat though and the only way to kick it out of loop is to actually listen to it.

An interesting bit is that this internal jukebox is actually playing faster than real time, even though it sounds absolutely correct and natural in my mind and definitely not as if it was a 1.2~1.5x play rate that would give this funny "Benny Hill effect"; so when I perform the song at the time scale that I hear it it is clearly too fast (higher BPM) to outside observers or when compared to an original recording.

It's as if my experience of mind-time is skewed vs real time so I've developed a bunch of coping strategies like padding (e.g making every beat having a "late by ~x" feeling), forceful downclocking (some sort of detached zen mode where I let go of the internal clock, which gives a very surreal feeling of perceiving the world), or active continuous ratio compensating (sort of like the world is going at 0.8x compared to my reference clock so remapping makes it sort of bullet-timesque)

Socially it's all very disconnecting and exhausting.

This doesn't seem right, I use runelite on linux fine without any extra lutris or wine stuff. As far as I know you don't need the official launcher.

Edit: oh, I understand, I have an old account without the jagex launcher stuff. New accouts apparently need it. Well that sucks for you, I'm sorry.
That’s not the same as generating a website though. You still need to iterate on the components, and use them.

I agree that using llms for generating things like schemas, components, build scripts etc is a good use of the technology, but we’re no closer to saying “make a saas landing page for X using vercel” and having it ready to deploy, then we were a year ago

> Unlike sequential games, such as tennis and table tennis, fencing is a type of simultaneous game.

One way to turn fencing sequential is to view "initiative" as the equivalent of a ball: generally either one player or the other will have possession at any given time. (given enough distance, then neither has the initiative, just like how in a field sports it's possible for neither to have possession)

The analogy falls down because fencing is more symmetric: losing possession of the ball near the goal you're attacking isn't bad compared to losing it near the goal you're defending, but in fencing losing initiative when you've nearly completed an attack, when distance has collapsed, is much worse than losing it near the start of an attack. (explaining why in both épée and kendō stronger players invite attacks)

Unfortunately determining who has initiative from the outside requires experience — and as the invited attack shows, it's very possible to believe you have initiative when you're actually being shaped by your opponent.

(the latter explaining why a king might wish to just "face south" and let all the ambitious people of the kingdom focus on modelling and exploiting his ministers instead of him)
I mean, yeah. But that’s not exactly helpful. Technically a web server can serve plain text which your browser will render so that meets the definition for most people.

The "superblocks" (superillas) in Barcelona has little to do with height. I think you're referring to just the Cerdà-designed blocks that has been around for a long time. The "superblocks" in Barcelona is about reducing the traffic running through all the blocks, but has little to do with the height of the buildings in the blocks.

Humans are resilient, but what about other animals ? Easter Island fauna was probably not varied at the time, but there may have been some animals depending on the presence of trees (e.g. birds nesting on trees) that disappeared together with them.

I think I understand that retroviruses can cause disease, contrary to what Peter Duesberg seems to be claiming. What I'm wondering about is his claim that they should be harmless in order to survive. Is that something commonly accepted? If so, should it cause surprise that they aren't harmless, and still surviving? Is there an interesting scientific question somewhere in there?

That's the question I couldn't answer by reading the wikipedia article. But I think thanks to some of the comments here my question is at least partly answered: at least some retroviruses -including HIV- seem to not kill off their host immediately, which I guess gives them time to reproduce and infect more hosts.
Hmm, I just flew American Airlines last weekend in a 737 and there was a barf bag in the seat. I've always found them when I looked.
You should probably rerun the benchmarks for wc2 on the same hardware as well. Otherwise one might have a faster SSD, or something else that makes the comparison unfair.

> perhaps it's because everyone else is utter shit

This is entirely never true, my dude/dudette.

It literally never happens that only a single person is smart and everybody else is an idiot.

If one thinks that does happen in real life then that person is either a teenager with self-esteem issues or an adult that has seen too many tv series.

But frankly my intuition tells me some people will be incapable of understanding that, so i'll be wasting my words for those that can understand it in hope they can recognize the pattern and leave toxic work environments and people as soon as they can.

Peace.
You're correct, see my edit above.

Unfortunately that completely defeats the idea of the proof.

Here's an alternative procedure:

1. Get a very large sheet of paper, and cut a Waldo-shaped hole in it.

2. Get some more paper, and paint a picture of Waldo on it.

3. Paste your image of Waldo on the back of the paper you prepared in step 1.

4. Place this composite over a Where's Waldo book.

5. You've found Waldo!

If you can't tell where the book is, there is no evidence that the image of Waldo is part of the book.

Everything makes sense if you take a moment to understand the business structure of these projects.

Microsoft is a publicly traded, for-profit company.

Canonical Ltd (Ubuntu) is a privately held, for-profit company.

The Linux Foundation is a 501(c)(6) non-profit organization.

Software in the Public Interest (Debian) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

See the pattern?
Ask HN: Alternatives to Gumroad for "software licenses"?
I am looking for alternatives to Gumroad to sell “software licenses” / “activation codes” / “serial numbers” online.

I have seen several similar platforms that focus on selling digital assets (files) but not activation codes.

I could either upload a list of pregenerated codes to the platform, or have the platform generate the codes with an API to validate them. Both would be fine.

I need that the platform acts as a merchant of record (to handle VAT in different countries). This basically means that the platform would be invoicing users, and I would be invoicing the platform.

I would also need to be able to translate the product description to different languages (this is something that Gumroad cannot do — they force you to create different products) and also support EUR as a currency.

What solutions have you worked with?
> They are aiming to provide an "all-in-one" solution with the parser, transpiler, bundler etc all in one place. Which means they have perhaps too much work to do.

They seem to re-use quite a lot. I don’t think any of them, besides ESBuild, roll their own transpiler. For example, Farm uses SWC:

Yes there were many. This is how I got into programming in 2006. The fact that OSRS even happened is because Jagex was losing a lot of people to private servers.

Whether there are still actively maintained ones I'm not sure though.

It's actually a pretty good thing to compartmentalize your computer. I use it to reduce procrastination.

Put all your fun things on one OS (or user account), and all your business stuff on another (possibly blocking distractions via hosts or firewall rules); and you've added a bunch of friction to switching from work to play. Not that it can't be done, but it needs to be a deliberate choice and you can't just bounce between them.

"who knows, in the future the two might be combined?"

You can combine both today alreay and I experiment with it. The problem is still the high latency of the GPU. It takes ages, to get an answer and the timing is not consistent. That makes all scheduling for me a nightmare, when dividing jobs between the CPU and GPU.
It would probably require a new hardware architectur, to make use of that in a sane way, so that GPU and CPU are more closely connected. (there are some designs aiming for this, as far as I know)
