I think jonesforth is the most popular implementation teaching implementation: https://github.com/nornagon/jonesforth/blob/master/jonesfort...

Factor might be a counterexample if one considers it a Forth, the VM is in part implemented in C++: https://github.com/factor/factor

I think it's portability and ease of development rather than CPU architecture complexity that makes someone pick C/C++ over assembly when implementing a Forth system. Because the Forth won't need much of the assembly language or obscure CPU instructions, the complexity of the architecture won't really matter to whoever is implementing it.

This is a really odd take and I am confused by the points you are trying to make.

>Of course, this sucks for the disabled

You question the obvious benefits -- the fact that business can't just fire/not hire you for say, a work related injury, or getting injured elsewhere, or being disabled in general, and then you provide absolutely 0 recourse except "Sucks for you bro."

>a disability will impact your ability perform general tasks (and require additional accommodation).

The entire point is _REASONABLE_ accommodation. With reasonable accommodation, most people who suffer from disabilities can do their jobs just fine. Your glasses are _reasonable accommodation_ against you not having 20/20 vision, so is a hearing aid.

Does me having a ?/10 vision corrected to 20/20 (just an example) with glasses affect my performance as far as me being a (software engineer, accountant, construction worker, truck driver, scientist, biologist, doctor, pharmacist, teacher etc.) goes? What about an accountant who uses hearing aid to listen? What about a wheelchair bound software engineer who doesn't really have to move to do their job?

Unless your alternative is just that disabled people should be out on the street starving, worker protections in general are a good thing.

Yeah same here, bought cheap used 21" from some design studio around 2002 i think. Barely fit keyboard on campus desk in front of it, but Counter strike while smoking some weed was very absorbing.

One of benefits of CRT was they flawlessly handled lower resolutions in a way impossible for LCDs. Very much required for the hardware of that era.
It is a machine you literally have on your head. I have not tried it, but I can believe that it requires some different UX considerations than normal computers. I would definitely not like to hear fan noise vibrating through my head.
Interesting how they didn't use hexadecimal the same way as we do today, instead writing e.g. the code position 0x7F as 7/15.
You mean CVT? When did Mercedes/Honda F1 have a CVT gearbox?
If you allow yourself to use carbon energy (coal and gas) then it absolutely makes sense to use them to compensate for the variability of wind. That's what the UK does. Their cost is pretty much proportional to their utilisation so it makes sense to switch them on and off.

You also have hydro but it's a fairly limited (there are only so many valleys you can flood and so much water you can capture - plus historically it's the source of energy that killed the most people).

But if you truly decarbonise, and in absence of an economical way to store vast amounts of energy for a long time (wind can be down to pretty much zero for weeks on a typical year), and I don't see any such facility being built at scale, I am not sure what else than nuclear you can use to compensate for the volatility of wind. And because nuclear costs the same whether you use it or not, you then might as well save yourself the construction of a wind farm.

That's why I don't understand why we are spending billions building those gigantic wind farms. They only make sense if the intention is to keep using carbon. Otherwise they should spend that money on nuclear.
There are a few language shifts that happened in the past few years. The use of the singular "they", "there's a few" instead of "there are a few", the "like" filler word, etc. It's not that unusual.
Virus? I’ve used window for over 2 decades, along with Linux and I’ve never seen the start menu do anything like that. I’ve seen it hang of course, but I don’t even remember the last time.

This kind of low level testing can be such a pain. Its fortunate this hardware has netboot. This is the "easy" path for low level testing, I've worked with other stuff where the only option is virtual SD card devices and ... damn its a pain... you end up with devices like this https://hackaday.com/2014/06/08/the-in-circuit-sd-card-switc... or when you're lucky and have more budget, devices like the SDWire ( https://badgerd.nl/sdwirec/ or https://shop.3mdeb.com/shop/open-source-hardware/sdwire/ which are both based on an older Tizen dev team design)
Seems like the hostname section detected a different site entirely to the one I input (some site that shared the same IP long ago?), and the mail section failed to detect my (valid, according to gmail) DKIM records entirely...

Aside from what the article focuses on (being selective about which packages to install in the first place), I feel that making extensive use of the

Forth has integers and that's about it. You can have words that interpret the integers and e.g. show you characters instead, but it's usually just a thin cover over the numbers.

The JVM is stack-based and static typing rather common in the languages that runs on it.

Factor has dynamic typing, though I haven't thought much about that, it kind of stays in the background. It's more a tool for problem solving than a description of some type theory: https://factorcode.org/
Calling a comment on HN a "tactic" in regard to political discourse in southeast Europe seems a bit of a stretch.
Every student should read Tanenbaum's "Structured Computer Organization". It was the first book which showed me the logical layering involved in a "Computer System" which is absolutely essential to understanding this field.
That's a bit misleading the level of vacum might differ by factor of 10000, but most of the force is still coming from atmosphere. For overall mechanical strength it doesn't matter that much if its 0.99 or 0.99999999999 atmospheres of pressure difference, temperature and other wheather changes are probably causing much bigger change in force applied to glass.
On the other end of the spectrum, Nikola Tesla's visualisations were so strong that as a child he would vividly hallucinate objects when their names were spoken to him.
Other examples I like to trot out: Android is not really a man, Asteroid is not really a star, Meteoroid is not really a meteor.
Nonfree software is a major part of nonguix, both because of the ethical problems which are the raisons d'être of the GNU project, there's also the more practical consequence drom the nonfree nature, that you can't bootstrap the binaries any you can't know their provinence beyond "it's from the vendor".

However just to clarify for others, it's not the only thing there of course. There is free software in nonguix, maybe because it's PITA to bootstrap, like for example Leinigen and other parts of the Clojure ecosystem, as well as everything and anything written using Electron. And of course notable free software things there are also the blobbed Linux kernel (probably obvious reasons), as well as Firefox, since Mozilla has some interesting trademark opinions, so you can't have it on the main Guix channel.
What about violin plots.

The author just has a bad intuition. On the first picture he says "this looks like a small quantity". No, you can't say that. All you can say is that half the data points are in the shades part. You don't know where the rest are.

Describing widespread firearms as socially "equalizing" is a new one to me, so thanks for that.
I worked in EMR company and the amount of monthly legislative changes was insane. Insurance companies always changed their data formats every month. I think they did it because if hospital's monthly export contained some error they could hold their money for couple days more.

So anyway when our country switched to euro, the deadline came and the insurance company still didn't publish format for the new month. They were too busy with the euro switch that they didn't have time to mess with the export format. Few hours later they published new format. They just switched orders of 2 columns.

But back to churn. Month old EMR is useless. Forget about working 2 years on something, publishing it on GitHub and calling it a day. In a small 250k town we needed 7 full-time programmers and 5 servicemen to keep it going. Patient arrives at v7.13.148 and leaves two weeks later at v7.15.203 and you need to keep their data in some kind of consistent way.
I read the words and then imagine them until I internalize them. I tend to space out a lot when I do that, so I don't really listen during lessons but I tend to learn most things during the lesson that way.

Makes me really bad at following instructions though, since unlike math or physics you shouldn't internalize them instead you should just execute the words and that is really annoying, my brain really doesn't want to think in words. so try to translate everything...

Anyway, I think internalizing things might be harder or impossible if you haven't already done so with all the previous steps. If all your thinking and knowledge is word based then it is hard to break that, and vice versa, I can't think about math in terms of words really. I can slowly translate some things to words but I can't really drive thought with the words.
I can certainly see things like this causing a lot of unintended consequences. "It speeds up when I play loud music" is going to confuse many who don't know about this "feature".
That confused me a lot when I started using Linux as a teenager. There wasn’t really an explanation anywhere, some commands would just show ^Something and assume you’d know what to do. When I finally figured out, the terminal made a lot more sense.
In my mind there is an infinite void. No color per say, think of the void of space, without a single spec of dust.

This void is a 3D space. There is a general sense of up, down, left, right, front and back.

In this void I materialize a triangle. It is a wireframe. 3 lines, all the same length. No color, they are just lines.

By default the triangle is resting on one side, pointing up, and facing me. I can then rotate and move my mind "camera" around it while simultaneously rotating and moving the triangle as well.

The more complex the shapes, the more shapes, the harder it is to maintain coherency. I can close my eyes and concentrate to help.

I can assign colors if I wish to, but they are not really there visually. More like an extra information attached to the shape.

It’s quite good. He’s got a YT channel too that’s very heavy on science. And a Reddit community that experiments alongside. Great resources.
> [sic]Cause there’s no such thing as three apples or three people.

I understand what you're saying. Occurrences like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_species demonstrate that the idea of "species" isn't firm and that what truly matters is each individual and their unique circumstances. But this seems to me to be more a limitation of language and philosophy than a repudiation of math.

As you pointed out, it's all equivalent to drawing tally lines, counting pebbles, sliding counters on an abacus, or counting fingers and toes. Despite the fractal nature of coastlines and the constant exchange of matter and energy between adjacent parts of the universe, it is possible to agree upon useful delineations. And there is not any alternative maths which happens to describe practical observations in a way which does not reduce to the maths with which we are familiar.
This is very true, most of my rescues are older laptops that said were “broke”. I offered to help figure them out what was broke because I hate calling something obsolete when I can usually throw linux on it and bring it back to like. 2 of them just need an OS install, and 2 needed a new SSD. All the owners said “I was looking for an excuse to get a new laptop anyway” so I took them off their hands.
"This becomes important as the rare earth materials used in mechanical hard drives cannot be re-used, making hard drive shredding a non-sustainable practice."

And these guys who disarm people will read lots of classic literature to stay noble, of course.

A few years of having the greatest power on earth turns 99% of otherwise good men into non-humans. That’s just the fact of life, explained thousands of times throughout history. That’s why you have to elect a new guy every few years, cause the old one starts to lose it. Try removing him if his gang is the only gang with firearms.
It sucks, but that's life - there are worse things and life is still plenty enjoyable. In addition, I lost my sense of smell/taste completely and that was much worse to be honest (but still, you learn to live without and focus on what's good). If I had to choose between the two, I'd choose being able to smell/taste any day. Funnily enough not because of food, but actually because of the added experience you get when walking in nature or other places - smell has so much to do with experiencing things, but you never consider it until it's gone. Luckily it came back, even though it's been 2.5 years now and it's still only 80% normal (but 80% is quite good!).

As you mention, the most sad part about it is actually the childhood memories, but I still have the memories of course, they're just a bit more "facts based" than re-living experiences.

Luckily, I didn't lose my inner ear or even inner monologue like in another reported case [0]. I do play instruments, so I guess I was/is musically inclined to some degree. I still have ability to imagine music exactly like I would hear it, unlike a friend with aphantasia who can't.

Another interesting detail is that I regained the ability before losing it again (Covid re-infection), and during this time of recovery I could gradually see grey, blurry images that got better and better. It's like the image generator in my head didn't have capacity to create full blown images, but only low res ones. Which makes me believe that in my case the "image generator" was damaged as I couldn't even dream in pictures, while for most people with aphantasia that's not the case, as they can dream normally.

On the bright side, I don't get horrible, lifelike images popping up in my head anytime I hear about something disturbing. Not that that was a big problem, but it's something you notice. It makes me believe that people with aphantasia might be better at coping with disturbing events, as they don't have to re-live the experience visually. But that's just a theory.

I don’t think intuition is the right word. If you have never seen a box plot before, your intuition will not help parse it. (Unlike violin plots.)
Thanks, but I stopped playing for unrelated reasons before that was posted. Previous fixes people posted involved inserting some different DLL, which didn't work for me. Not sure if I did something wrong or they were outdated in newer game versions.

Hm. But if people really see things in their mind like that, how come so many apparently struggle to draw a bicycle, even though they've both seen and used one? If I ask one of those people to picture a bicycle in their mind, what exactly do they see? Do they see their own distorted version of a bike?

When I "picture" something in my mind, I can't really see anything, it's more feelings and words and abstract ideas. But I have no problems drawing an imaginary bike.

If there's a thousand monkeys with a thousand typewriters, and they all write a single page to a thousand-page epic, is the scientist allowed to copyright and sell it as a book?
It was a real problem. I used to keep hundreds of bookmarks I felt forced to check out, tag and archive. It was mentally draining and time consuming. I was never satisfied with the way I sorted them and I would often move them around, trying new categories and labeling strategies. Overall, I likely spent more time managing bookmarks than reading their content. It wasn't sustainable and I ended up deleting most of them.

Now I keep it to the bare minimum:

1) Favorites bar: up to 10 websites I visit on daily basis.

2) Inspiration folder: where I put things I like. 330 as of today. Website layouts, painters, dev blogs, Youtube videos, anything that has good vibes. That's the only criteria. I make it an effort not to add any subfolder. The only exception is "Favorite projects" which is my little Hall of Fame for quality content. https://ciechanow.ski/ is up there.

3) Trashcan folder: where I place temporary bookmarks I don't care about and will delete in the next few days.

I periodically export my bookmarks so I don't feel guilty when I delete entries from the browser. You could do the same. Put the exported files in a usb stick and forget about them.
Being purely subjective if the user is less likely to notice the throttling than they are the fan noise, then it seems like the right call.
I am so fascinated by the Institute for Propaganda Analysis. It was set up before the WW2 to teach the american public about propaganda. Many academics and researchers sought to educate the people in the face of (mainly) foreign related psyops. To understand how it works and inoculate against it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institute_for_Propaganda_Analy...

It was abolished because the Americans no longer wanted to be independent and keep to themselves and desired to go to war.

In other words, the USA had a national program to educate the public about the dangers of psyops, to see the signs and to resist but they abolished it because they wanted to do psyops themselves.
I don't understand how people are able to get a good night's sleep without decent curtains/blinds, or with a bunch of bright blue LEDs scattered about the bedroom.

Yes -- I also wonder if a description involving learning plural software languages might fit:

1. Hack programmatic-functionality in a first language

2. Master the intricacies of a first language, understanding all programmatic concepts through the lens of that languages specific implementation-details. Pedantically argue with those familiar with different language implementations, due to a kind of implementation-plurality/ essential-form blindness

3. Learn additional languages, and 'see past' specific implementation details and pitfalls of each; develop a less biased understanding of the essence of any task at hand

You would be surprised on how big corporations are running on not so elegant code and generating revenue all over.

Normal people use Netflix (especially when DRM was first introduced) and watch YouTube.

The reason Mozilla can even still hold 10% market share in places like Germany is that they're much more compatible with the monopolist than you'd assume, given the circumstances.

Batteries can mimic inertia better than physical spinning objects.

An operator in Australia has seen massive success and profits over the past few years using batteries to out-compete other grid stabilization. IIRC, they have already made enough to pay off the upfront costs. Even better, Australian government was super against the change, but now most places are positive on them because of the obvious success.
