Were you even working in technology in the early 90's? Your comments are off. Also, what you dismiss as "irrelevant" are things businesses pay attention to, which is relevant to this discussion. Your final remark "They were lucky that Jobs despite not being that successful for the last 20 years had the right combination of ideas and luck to save Apple" is laughably ignorant, and as such, I'm not going to put much stock in anything else you've said.
I always remember the time Marvin Minsky told me "emergent properties" were bullshit. The "properties" themselves aren't bullshit but an arch-reductionist demands a better explanation.

Just wondering what do you collect?

I can't speak for the OP, but you can buy optical media of old out-of-print magazines scanned as PDFs.

I bought the entirety of Desert Magazine from 1937-1985. It arrived on something like 15 CD-ROMS.

I drag-and-dropped the entire collection into iBooks, and read them when I'm on the train.

(Yes, they're probably on archive.org for free, but this is far easier and more convenient, and I prefer to support publishers rather than undermine their efforts.)

The governance of affairs on this planet seems to me like a legitimate instance of this phenomenon... kind of like a wife who defends her husband even though he abuses her. It is indeed true that in almost all such cases there is an even more abusive husband out there, but that does not make the other abusive husbands good in an absolute sense.

It is funny and interesting how differently people interpret abstract matters like this depending on what the object level topic is.

IntelliJ is also supported. If you want to use something else, like VIM, then you need to ssh into the remote devbox machine. They have support for custom dotfiles, so you can set up your cool VIM environment for all your remote devboxes.

If you don't want remote devboxes, the regular devboxes still work. You just need to deal with the additional pain for syncing the files.

That safety is merely accidental, it only appears if the dangerous state (the atomic counter memory location) is in the same crate as the UniqueNumber type exposed.

A pair of crates (one which defines the struct UniqueNumber(u32), and one which produces sequences of them) would still be suffering from this, because the sequencing crate could use v1 of the unique number struct crate, in both its v1 and v2.

This of course is even more contrived (now we have a specific split of state and types instead). So the real question is: does this happen in non-contrived scenarios in the wild?

Some important differences from 2019:

* Code is off of laptops and lives entirely on the dev server in many (but not all) cases. This has opened up a lot of use cases where devs can have multiple branches in flight at once.

* Big investments into bazel.

* Heavier investment into editor experiences. We find most developers are not as idiosyncratic in their editor choices as is commonly believed, and most want a pre-configured setup where jump-to-def and such all "just work".

Looking at the three most recent Soyuz variants:

Soyuz-U had 765 successes in 786 flights. (97.3%)
Soyuz-FG had 69 successes in 70 flights (98.5%)
Soyuz-2 has 160 successes in 166 flights (96.3%)

Falcon 9 has 362 successes in 365 flights. (99.1%). That includes the partial failure of the CRS-1 mission, which successfully delivered CRS-1 to the space station but released secondary payloads into a lower than expected orbit. It does't include the AMOS-6 fire, which would bring Falcon 9 down 98.9%.

Falcon 9 is more reliable than Soyuz.

One of the nice things about MPV is that you can apply FFMpeg filters at playback, allowing you to use a wide range of transformations on a source video without having to re-render it for each variation.

We're using inexpensive industrial mini-PCs, Alpine Linux, and MPV as a custom digital signage solution at my company, and centrally managing them via Ansible.
No. Not at all. SpaceX is much closer to “agile” than Boeing or NASA, and I don’t think their success is a strike against agile.

GP just seems to have beef with agile and seems to be trying to loop any random failure, whether or not agile was involved, into the discussion.

Old Wifi uses a very similar frequency band to microwaves, so you just need to target your neighbors with a modified microwave that is much stronger than your average wifi router. What could go wrong?

Jamming is probably indeed an option. Illegal, but detecting the source and blaming you could be difficult. There is no technical countermeasure against jamming aside from using a different frequency, which would break any form of wifi.
Can anyone explain "Waterfall-Style" in this context? Is it related to what used to be called "mosaic layout"? Just guessing here but it's used in a way that seems to presume lots of people are familiar with the term so I must have slept through that meeting.
This is a really cool idea, thanks for sharing. I don't have that much free time these days, but I was thinking of trying a similar-but-different project not too long ago.

I wanted to make a bit of an open source tool to pull down useful time series data for the social sciences (e.g. time series of social media comments about grocery prices). Seems like LLMs have unlocked all kinds of new research angles that people aren't using yet.

NTN 3GPP Specs are only now being properly evaluated and set, with Ericsson/Qualcomm/Thales partnering to POC the tech on a 5 year roadmap.

In the interim, a number of companies like Apple and Samsung are now offering Satellite based SOS Emergency Text services as a commercial reality, presumably straining the capabilities of the current modems to their capacity.

Cellular is specced and regulated to the extreme between the FCC/3GPP Standards, but working within those constraints you already have two viable D2D Satellite 4G companies rolling out commercial services for unmodified cellular devices - ASTS and Lynk - with Lynk already offering commercial services.

They could well be optimizing and revolutionizing in one go - particularly to support new paradigm shifts in the US Market Service provisionment.

> First, they did not seem to make a thermodynamic loss argument.

You're missing the point.

Power-to-X fuels are fundamentally energy destructive versus alternatives. And feedstock cost prices declining enough to achieve fuel price parity isn't a safe bet. That's the parent's argument.

edit:

Terraform is baiting people with very optimistic cost structures. They're promising $2.5/kg H2 and DAC at $250/ton CO2. These figures are astronomically low. Then, wait-- it's for 1MW of PV electric supply. That's not scale. This facility can turn on/off when the sun is/isn't shining? Anything to solve that is more money.
I don't know if it's supposed to take a rocket scientist to figure out whether Boeing these days has been living up to its 20th century reputation for improved reliability.

Nothing you describe is inherent to monorepos. Git is slow yes but go use hg. Build and test are slow? That's a CI problem: you didn't allocate enough resources to the build system. Someone ran a formatter accidentally? That's that someone's mistake.
C is great and I definitely recommend learning it & becoming proficient in it. I don't think I would recommend it for a new project, for all the reasons jerf mentions in a sibling comment[1]. But there's a ton of existing code out there, and I think it provides a nice little peek into what the hardware is actually doing that you don't get from higher level languages.

> I think the work on C23 means people are starting to want to see innovation in the language again.

I have to admit this makes me nervous. Part of what's nice about C is its simplicity and its stability. It's relatively easy to write a compiler, and the lack of having many different ways to do the same thing means all code written in C tends to "feel" roughly the same (outside some domain-specific areas), which means it's easy to dive into a new codebase and get up to speed. It's basically all structs & functions and abstractions built upon them. That's it.

While I definitely am not opposed to making improvements to the C spec, seeing the inline anonymous functions in a proposal linked elsewhere in this thread[2] really turns me off. It starts to feel like the hideous mess that C++ has turned into, with oodles of implicit behavior, un-greppable code, generated symbol names leading to compiler error hell, and a thousand different colors for your bike shed.

We already have languages that can do all this stuff. I welcome making changes to C to make it nicer to program in C, but I'm wary of proposals that turn C into yet another messy kitchen sink programming language. Let's keep it clean, obvious, and simple, please.

I want to double check we’re talking about the same thing here. I’m referring to running everything inside a single VM that you would have total access to. It could have telemetry, you’d know versions etc. I wonder if there’s some confusion around what I’m suggesting given your points above.

I’m sure there are a bunch of things that make it the right choice for Stripe. Obviously if you just have too many things to run at a time and a dev laptop can’t handle it then it’s a dealbreaker. What’s the size of the cloud instances you have to run on?

Believe it or not, those with records do well on the job
Several years ago, I launched 70 Million Jobs a YC company that was the first employment platform for people with records. Our launch announcement was, at the time, one of the most popular on HN.

At first, human resource departments thought I was nuts, but eventually they came around, and we turned profitable. Unfortunately, our timing wasn't so good because that coincided with the onset of Covid, when companies laid off tens of millions of workers.I tried holding out, but it took years to normalize. I had no choice but to shut down. That announcement (and the support it engendered also was enormous.)

I've continued with this work, and now am helping run a very similar staffing company, a division of a much larger business, 2C Workforce Solutions (2CCareers.com). I'll get to the point:

If you or anyone you know are in need of workers anywhere in the US, we can help. Studies have shown that those with records "are as good as--if not better than--those with no records." As a staffing company, we remain their employer and handle all the paperwork, payroll, taxes, etc. And of course, there's the very important social good being done.

If you've got (or can connect me to) a company that's got at least 100 employees, I'd very much appreciate the opportunity to connect. And for all of the incredible support, enthusiasm and great ideas in the past, thanks HN community!

The Apple II was very dominant in education, but Apple never managed to retain that dominance through the migration to the Mac. Schools started moving to Wintel boxes in the mid-90s as the Apple II was becoming obsolete -- Macs were present in schools, but had stiff competition by that point.

I recall my elementary school (1985-1991) exclusively having Apple IIs, my middle school (1991-1994) having a mix of Mac LCs and IBM PS/2s (along with lingering Apple IIs), and my high school (1994-1998) having all of the computer labs stocked entirely with Tandy 486es, with a handful of Macs in specific classrooms for particular use cases.
It's not the gore (or relative lack of it despite its reputation?) that I disagree with, it's the depravity. Depravity and gore are orthogonal (although, of course, often along for the ride with one another).

I'm certain humans are capable of really depraved stuff in the real world, I just don't want to "capture it", watch it. As I said, I feel more strongly this way as I get older (for whatever reason).
