The lake next door to my house has had ice-in ice-out dates measured by the local university using the same procedure for the past 170 years. Lake ice is an extremely good way to determine average temperature for a season, of course, as it's just a big mass that gets cold and warms up again.

When you plot my lake, it's a solidly linear trend of fewer days of ice coverage ever since they began measuring it.

The neat atmospheric CO2 correlation is presumably the same thing that has caused that same correlation to exist in pre-historic times: CO2 has been a correlated trailing indicator of global temperature through the entirety of Earth's history.

If there has been a long-term global trend for Earth temperatures, like my little (not so little actually) lake seems to indicate, some of the assumptions that establish CO2 radiative forcing as a cause rather than an effect go out the window entirely.

But don't take my word for it. Read this Nature paper, and add in the postulate that global temperature since the 1860s is some linear trend similar to my lake's temperature, and watch what comes out:

according to this thing I found [0] the 486 has a predictor for the branch not taken. Not sure what that means but it looks like it's mostly for the instruction fetch/decode based on other notes. Ironically sounds close to your 5 stage RISC description, extra ironic because 486 is 5 stages too...

P5 has a more 'real' BP but also had the U/V Pipelining.

But yes as far as OoO goes, I think for x86 it was Nx586 first, then PPro (P6), then Cyrix 6x86 [1] and AMD K6 (courtesy of Nextgen tech) the next year.

I did something similar last month; I took my FT-817 with me to scout camp. I wanted to work some FT8 but didn't bring the required doodads with me to hook the radio's audio interface to my Surface Pro X. No problem, I'll just use the mic and speaker on the laptop. To my surprise (and much to the annoyance of my fellow leaders) it worked! wsjt-x is an amazing piece of software.
I don't go to mc'ds very often and wasn't even aware of their coupons. Perhaps you're right
I'll grant that it's a bit of friction, but you can just run a compiler on the pi?
That’s exactly what happens to every large company. At some point, growth is limited. You think google grows as fast as Kagi? Should google be concerned because kagi managed to 10x their users in the past year (made up figure, you get the point) and they didn’t?
I disagree that the risk is any higher than the failure of whatever asset your retirement savings are in.
Oddly enough, there are screen-sharing and/or remote-display protocols which ... are limited to sharing screen-drawing properties and aren't wholesale data vacuums. X11 and remote desktop come particularly to mind.

Several of those can be limited to specific applications, e.g., by setting the $DISPLAY value (X11). For remote desktop that's a bit more challenging but can be managed to an extent using Group Policy settings under MS Windows:

Some people like myself are very sensitive to some some vocal/audio oddities, while others seem insensitive to it.

The issue is for those sensitive, it literally creates the feeling sick and/or needing to escape or fight the situation (rage) despite rationally knowing there’s nothing wrong. See: misophonia

While sometimes the cause is unavoidable, reducing the avoidable ones is worthwhile, though I would agree that getting paranoid about it isn’t needed.

For those that encounter this in video/audio, a useful trick I’ve found is watching at a higher playback speed, which seems to mask many of the things that would drive me mad.
I didn't see an Elytra until I'd been playing with various mods that give you creative flight or at least jet packs, so I was used to at least being able to fly†, and in many cases being able to move arbitrarily in 3D space at a whim.

In fact I think the first Elytra I saw for myself was in a world where I had killed the Dragon with an old-school massively overpowered Tinker's crossbow, while wearing full hover capable power armour. Later I'm like "Ooh, End City, these are new", I find the boat, I see the Elytra and it's just flight again, nothing cool? I think I was more impressed to find a decent EnderIO capacitor or some other new gizmo from a mod in a chest nearby.

† I think this is before Slime Boots and the Slingshot were a thing, these days you might give players zero damage on falling + fling yourself long distances and put off actual flight for the first hours of play.
Th idea of "will", especially from the German side, got a bad rap for
obvious reasons. But I like Arendt's picture of it as an uncomfortable
inner tension when we simultaneously see what what we want to be (or
should morally do), and an alternative path set out by habit and
company.

To me, will is a very important component in security, it's that
tense feeling you get just before you;

- decide the video conference with your boss urging you to transfer
$1m into a Swiss account might not be as it seems, and pull the
plug (risking being fired)

- walk out of the shop that stubbornly refused to take cash (risking
social embarrassment)

- refuse a significant discount in exchange for giving personal
information (taking financial loss on principle)

- tell someone in a more authoritative position, no you won't be
joining them via Teams/Zoom because of its security risks (risking
unpopularity)

What we find in cybersecurity incident autopsies is that people say "I
knew X wasn't right. All my spidery feelings and heckles were on red
alert, but I didn't act, and I don't know why."

So in another piece I wrote;

Our culture is now about to split into two camps; the normative
and the secure. Instead of "the haves and have-nots", there will
be "the will, and the will-nots". Those who will compromise and
those who will not compromise security. Those who choose security
over convenience. Those who choose security against the nagging
"advice" of corporations and governments to adopt a weaker
position favourable to "markets".
Would be nice if a pig didn’t have to die to save a human though. This is not something everyone cares about but some people (like me) do care. Hopefully some day we can advance the technology enough with artificial solutions.
Yes but no.

Coupons are obsolete. The actual deals are on the App. Same idea except the App probably tracks my email or something, so they get more info on what deals I'm browsing or thinking about. (I'm sure it's watching what I click on and browse....)

I'd say coupons disappeared about 5 years ago? Somewhere around COVID-19.
F91W from the article is unironically cool now (and has been since forever afaik). Especially in streertwear circles. I’ve legitimately seen plenty of people from early 20s to mid 30s wear F91WF, with Balenciaga tier of the outfit to match. From the streets to night clubs to literally anywhere, both men and women. Definitely not the “socks and sandals and polo shirts crowd.”

Hell, there are photos of Obama wearing it well during his early days[0].

I can't share the specifics of feedback but you're right that's the most interesting part of this decision and where I could learn the most. Ultimately, it's a hard to reverse decision with imperfect information and that's why it can be so emotionally tough.

Thanks for the note!
Completely amazed that you could write this comprehensive reply just like that.
75% of the FDA’s budget comes from the pharmaceutical industry. I assume that part of that is the food industry. Also the USDA is largely outsourced to the industries it’s supposed to manage. The US is bought and paid for by industries that donate to the Democrats and Republicans. Welcome to America.
It's really easy to come up with a better plan than evolution for lots of things.

If our bodies were peak, we wouldn't need to use hundred(s) of hours of exercise per year to force muscular and cardiovascular improvements, it would just happen. Muscles wouldn't shrink away in an aggressive attempt to conserve calories, especially not regardless of BMI.

Is there any evidence or reason to think that people were just more financially literate in the past and somehow regressed? This theory seems to ignore broad societal trends such as increasing wealth inequality, increasing housing costs, increasing health care costs, stagnation of wages, decreasing employment stability and security over time, and the elimination of employer pensions.
I believe there's discounts only if you use their app, so they can monetize you with surveillance. It's still garbage food, though. I can't imagine what the $5 tier is like.
For the bored, I was searching for 'database filesystem' and found one by Oracle. I gather it's a way to make editing BLOBs easier. That could make for some interesting recursive things.

It's "a file system interface placed on top of files and directories that are stored in database tables."[0]

You can't apply the law retroactively.

There are ... some exceptions. Pardons can be granted (presidential or gubernatorial) for those convicted of specific violations, or under procedures later discredited. This doesn't of itself provide the ability to prosecute bad cops / bad prosecutors, but does at least undo some of the damage.

E.g., President Biden has given broad pardons for marijuana possession under US and D.C. (administered by the Federal government) law:

<https://www.npr.org/2023/12/22/1221230390/biden-pardons-clem...>

This doesn't include state convictions for drugs possession (the vast majority of such convictions) but does signal to states which direction the Federal government is leaning.

But your damage control is within reach.
Tk has native look and styles and themes these days, perhaps not for Scheme?

https://tkdocs.com/tutorial/styles.html

Personally part of what drew me to Tk is the old clunky aesthetic which ended up freeing me from fighting the QT or GTK or what ever aesthetic which tends to work against the things I want to do and caused me endless grief. Tk just works for me and I can mostly forget about themes, just make my UI and get on with it.

The github repo was updated just 5 days back. Not sure what the state was previously, so not much discussion.
I'm almost surprised nobody mentioned beta 1.7.3 yet. Some people, myself included, consider it to be the last good version of the game. It came before the adventure update, beta 1.8, in 2011.

To put it simply, 1.8 is the inflection point where Minecraft stopped being a sandbox and started being, as I once saw someone call it, a "pseudo-RPG". Obviously, this view is not common (EDIT: judging by some responses, maybe it is, at least on Hacker News). If people enjoy newer versions I'm not going to stop them.

For me, though, the main disadvantage of modern Minecraft is its complexity. I enjoyed beta 1.7.3 because I had pretty much a complete encyclopedic knowledge of it. This is much harder for modern Minecraft. I get the feeling that most people don't enjoy that game for the same reasons I did.

It sounds like you understand the burden of being an interviewer!

Can you share a little more about what made the decision emotional or impulsive? I'd love to make sure my writing is clear and it sounds like it wasn't. While building a relationship with a candidate can be emotional, we always use a standardized rubric to evaluate candidates. Even with a rubric the decisions can be hard!

I work have built some dense UI for certain types of fixed income (bonds and swaps) trading, looking to move it all to svelte because react cannot handle the quantities of data (and if even if it could the code is unbelievably ugly).

Something I've been banging on about for a while is the following: Programmers and designers keep trying to rebuild instagram in every domain, pretty UIs, regular UIs, "simple" UIs.

This is great when every interaction might be an onboarding, but can be really limiting and stupid in an environment where people are actually paying attention.

A proxy I like to use for the above distinction is whether the users are paid more than the programmers

IMO when you're playing music, everything you want to do is on the table. If you're going to make music theory and music history arguments, you should be sensitive to the theory and history you are arguing about.

By the way, a 19th century functional harmonist would also find that prelude sort of odd. Not in terms of the chords themselves, but they don't always obey their usual functions.

Also, many modern players and theorists reach toward Schenkerian analysis and its derivatives to sort of explain why music sounds the ways it does. Unlike counterpoint and harmony, Schenkerian analysis is almost entirely descriptive, not prescriptive. I have no idea what your teacher would have suggested.
See, I was very much the opposite. Even after Minecraft's full release I was huge into the mods because I never felt like the vanilla Minecraft experience had enough content.
I'd agree with that in normal times, but we're not in normal times anymore. We just had a presidential candidate promising he'll "fix it" so people don't have to vote anymore[1]. Who knows what things are going to look like by the time I retire. Literally anything could happen to anything run by the government, and I don't think anyone can take SS for granted anymore.

> Yes, there are ways to configure IPv6 to isolate subnets, separate local traffic from internet traffic, set up firewalls and DMZs, run local DNS, etc., but they're all more complicated to configure and administer than their IPv4 equivalents.

Eh, I think that has hindsight bias. Setting up NAT manually, or customizing how things are NATed beyond the typical "one or two subnets/IP ranges behind a NAT gateway and maybe a DMZ" you see in businesses and residences is quite complicated! It's just that our control planes are really optimized to make that common case very easy. From router web UIs to pf presets to Windows'/NetworkManager's "share network" functionality to what articles/how-tos are available, that complexity is very effectively hidden but not removed.

As IPv6 becomes more entrenched (and more sites move to IPv6-only or public-IPv6-only deployments), the same thing that happened for the IPv4 world will happen for network segmentation configuration in the IPv6 world: it will get a lot easier and common defaults/conventions will emerge. I don't think the inherent complexity differences between IPv4 and IPv6 are that relevant here.

Prior to covid, yes. I haven't eaten McDonald's since covid, but in college I would use the app + whatever promotional "buy one get one" coupons they had going on to hit some devious combos. Usually I could get 3 burgers for like $2.50 with free fries. Each purchase usually gives you another bogo coupon, or a survey that you can fill out for free fries, so you end up in infinite loops of coupons.

This is not true. Mobile platforms do help with tapping on small elements. E.g. HN isn't mobile friendly "as is", but I have no issues with tapping any of the links. I've also used Exante mobile trading terminal for some time and had no issues with it either.

I agree that accessibility still is the concern, but watching my grandma struggle with her tablet, it's mostly the fact that buttons aren't buttons and everything jumps around like clowns in circus and cannot stop, instead of being a proper user interface. I bet she'd have similar issues with appliances if their design was just random flat symbols on white surfaces that randomly disappear.

Microsoft didn't ruin Minecraft -- all they did was graciously allow the Java version (moddable) to continue to exist and improve while making Bedrock work consistently cross-platform (way more important than you may realize, so many kids are introduced via phones and tablets) and be the place where branded IP / predictable content goes. My 12 year old son has been playing since he was 6 I think, and is an unbelievable builder now, thanks mostly to YouTube, Curseforge, mods like Create and Axiom, and good old-fashioned elbow grease. He also builds on Roblox (which requires a bit of my input to get a lot of the actual code functioning) but modeling and world-building in Studio is 100% him.

I think back to my 12 year old days of making DOOM and Hexen WADs before I really learned to code -- what the kids have nowadays is light years beyond what we had, and I love it lol

> So I became a programmer because I wanted to be a wizard.

You may have already found it, but Fred Brooks's little essay on why programming is fun has always resonated with me [0]:

> The programmer, like the poet, works only slightly removed from pure thought-stuff. He builds his castles in the air, from air, creating by the exertion of the imagination. Few media of creation are so flexible, so easy to polish and rework, so readily capable of realizing grand conceptual structures. [...]

> Yet the program construct, unlike the poet’s words, is real in the sense that it moves and works, producing visible outputs separate from the construct itself. It prints results, draws pictures, produces sounds, moves arms. The magic of myth and legend has come true in our time. One types the correct incantation on a keyboard, and a display screen comes to life, showing things that never were nor could be.

> you can see this must be the case

What I can see is the case is that you're both way too confident in your inferences for a bunch of mind readers. Why not just call them up and find out? Oh right "not my job".

And btw "no X could be that Y" last time I heard that line was in a sitcom.
I learned a bunch of these things largely on my own, but it probably helped that I was at MSFT for a few years.
Another example is Bavaria, which used to be a poorly developed place until the post-ww2 immigration of Germans from the east happened.
Yes! You're right! That would be way too long for an interview loop. I'm sorry I wasn't clear in the article.

The candidate and I first met long before they were interested in interviewing. They had potential and I got to know them so that when they were interested in interviewing they'd reach out. Once they decided to interview, we made that happen as quickly as schedules allowed!

Hope that clarification helps! Thanks for the note!

I don't even understand this paragraph. I'm not arguing.
I'm not super knowledgeable about it so I should just let someone else answer; but to clarify what I was saying, I'm not talking about the account migration, I'm talking about the fact that the new version ("education" edition, the one most kids use because of the steep discounts to schools) client can't connect to the old ("java edition") servers. The old server is still easy to run and hack on, but none of your friends will be able to connect to it, and while I don't know too much about the new server, all of the how-tos I looked at start with "go sign up for your free $100 worth of Azure student credits".

Maybe a clearer way to say it is, I'm not saying modding itself is harder, but I think that back when this article was written, if a teenager bragged that they run their own server with mods they usually meant they have a shell open on their home computer with "java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M something.jar" in it and a mod directory with downloaded-and-hand-edited-textfiles, and nowadays they mean they pay for a cloud server and selected mods from a list. But again I'm mostly repeating what I hear from my kids' friends, tell me if I'm off base here.

From Anthropic Claude MVP to SaaS: Seeking advice on rapid no-code launch
I've built an MVP for a recruitment web app using Anthropic Claude, with potential customers already lined up. Now I'm aiming to launch it as a SaaS product ASAP. As a non-technical founder prioritizing speed of execution, I'm looking for advice on:

Recommended no-code/low-code platforms for implementing:

-User authentication
-Payment processing
-Content paywall

Best practices for transitioning from an Anthropic Claude prototype to a production-ready SaaS
Essential features or considerations I might be overlooking

My main questions:

What's the most efficient stack for a solo non-technical founder to launch a SaaS quickly?
Are there pre-built solutions for standard SaaS functionality I should consider?
What are the critical steps in moving from an AI-assisted prototype to a market-ready product?

I'm not looking to build a heavy-duty custom product where everything is coded from scratch. Off-the-shelf solutions that can get us to market quickly are preferred.
Partnership opportunity: I'm open to partnering with someone who can help execute this vision rapidly. If you have the technical skills to complement my industry knowledge and existing customer base, I'm willing to discuss a revenue-sharing arrangement.
Any insights from those who've gone through this process would be greatly appreciated, whether you're interested in partnering or just sharing advice.
