Nationality? Certainly. Race / ethnicity? With extreme caution. Most Black people in the US have enough of a shared history that it's a useful label, for example. But Ghana, Eritrea and Eswatini share almost none, even if their people might be superficially lumped together as ethnically Black African.

But even if you can successfully draw a boundary around a people (Brits? White Brits? And that's before we even get into the whole Welsh-English-Scots thing), which stories do we tell? And how do we update them as - for example - it has become more and more apparent that Britain's relative prosperity during the 18th & 19th centuries was largely at the expense of conquered peoples and Empire territories - many of whose descendants (Indian, Irish, Jamaican or Ghanaian) are now an integral part of society here?

How do we avoid crude re-tellings of WW2 where the Nazis are cast as certain and irredeemable baddies from the beginning, when the greatest of their atrocities - the one that marked them out forever as a greater monster than any of the Western allies, who had a far from unblemished record - wasn't actually known to our leaders until very late on in the war, by which time the Nazis were facing almost certain defeat?

(I'm not saying, to be clear, that the Nazis were anything other than utterly evil - but up until the scale and nature of the Holocaust became apparent, the story did not resolve so cleanly into "good vs evil" as the way it's commonly told today).

Clickbait, because the law only applies "inside apartments, condos and other shared buildings where multiple families live."

This law already exists in many cities and should exist everywhere. It's one thing to smoke in your own detached house, but when you share walls with others, smoking becomes harmful to others' health, too, not just your own.

My downstairs neighbor smokes heavily and burns incense all day and night, and it's bad enough that I'm seriously considering moving. Sometimes I can see smoke visibly rising from the floor. This would not be a problem if the city I lived in had common-sense laws against smoking inside multi-unit buildings.
If you live your entire life worshipping pencils, treat other humans benevolently due to the laws the pencils have passed down, and die clutching a fistful of them with a smile on your face, is that crazy?
The article quotes that number as the cost of the actual nuclear fuel. That number makes no sense - I'm sure it's a typo. They probably meant to say 4/10ths of a cent per megawatt hour. Of course, most of the actual costs come from capital/operations.
Nah, Republicans are still pushing it. As Trump just said:

As a former Eazel employee, I can say that indeed Eazel did not get acquired by Apple.

As the Wikipedia page states, a sizable pool of people went to work on Safari 1.0 (and some are still working on Safari). Others went to Apple to work on the Finder or Core Graphics.

Another big chunk of people went to Danger to work on the T-Mobile Sidekick.

But the company shut down. No one was left besides the CFO.

Yes, people are pointing out that “it could be worse” is a cruddy thing to say. It’s bad! It could always be worse, but there’s no point in saying so. Continuing to harp on “it could be worse” is not helpful.

Quite a few projects in the home automation space would be well-served by open-source projects.

Where I live I get extreme lightning storms that take out some of my electronics quite often. I've replaced the boards that control my swing gates twice. They're like $400 per board. This year I got tired of paying that and I replaced them with DIY esp8266 + relay modules running esphome. But this could be wildly improved with custom open source PCBs.

Another example: I've spent a lot of money on robotic lawn mowers. There's a lot of room for a good open-source contender in this arena too. Some of the top of the line commercial mowers use RTK for gps positioning (no more boundary wire) and try to incorporate computer vision algorithms for planning, but they're not super amazing, and they're also not very hackable. If the entire stack was open source then I am sure a big community would sprout around it and I think the open-source robot would quickly become the best available. You can leverage other open source projects like ardurover to get going pretty quickly.

If you take on either of these please let me know and I'll be a happy customer #1.

>one reason is very simple. Society produces more information every year. Counting in bytes, humans have produced more information in the past year than all of the rest of history.[...]

In raw bytes this may be true but in terms of cultural output above a certain threshold I don't think it is and for me this has always been the most simple and straight forward reason to not be "time parochial".

Most books, music, films, what have you are old, so all you really need to concede to dig into older works is that most good stuff is probably old just because most stuff is old. How high is the chance that every great movie has been made in the last five years? Just not having a recency bias is enough.

I use this as a strategy even. Time is one of the simplest filters to just avoid all the mediocre ephemeral slop that ends up being advertised everywhere and the longer something has advocates and passionate audience the more likely it is there's something worthwhile in it.
If censorship is too "challenging" to do right then maybe you should knock it off.
Well by "taught in linear algebra" I mean "taught to undergraduates in their first or second year". It is totally bizarre that people learn about determinants, matrix minors, curl, magnetic fields, angular momentum, etc... but not about wedge products, in which all of these things are much easier to understand.
I mean, you have to pay the loans back. Which requires income which is taxed. This would only work if you either don't spend any money (which then what is the point of the loan) or if your assets are always going up and increasing in value beyond that of the loan which inevitably will not be the case.

Full text - "Started just following tutorials and reading a lot, then I'd want to expand on things so I'd give it the code I had, told it what I needed to do and then asked it to explain the new code to me.

It does a great job of basically writing you a tutorial tailored to your exact needs.

Then over time it just becomes easier to spot things yourself and edit/fix things you didn't even know existed a week beforehand.

Structurally it's so much nicer to look at than PHP+HTML too which is nice coming from WP dev.

Plus I needed to pick a language to learn for building my own security tools, etc and Python is perfect for it.

Straightforward intelligence boosting genes are valuable enough that unless they are very recent, they should already have spread everywhere.

It's more likely that developing brains have a huge number of potential tradeoffs to make for what tasks they are good at and how much energy they use. Genetics and epigenetics are merely one of the tools a brain uses to decide what shape it takes, and aren't even close to the whole picture.

> Staff consisted of former employees of many technology companies such as Apple, Netscape, Be Inc., Linuxcare, Microsoft, Red Hat, and Sun Microsystems.

Sounds like some of the people that founded, or at least worked at, the company did come from Apple.

FTA:

> The company attempted to sell its core development group but ceased operations on May 15, 2001.

> Hertzfeld arranged a meeting with Steve Jobs and most of Apple's high level management. In June 2001, most of Eazel's final roster of senior engineers joined Apple's Safari team

Sounds to me like your suggested title saying that they were acquired by Apple would not be an accurate way to put it.
What on earth would the "average" developer's knowledge and skills in cyber security have anything to do with it? I believe there are enormous quantities of brilliant and well educated people in every major country. China certainly doesn't lack them, nor does the US, Russia, India, Germany, Brazil,m etc.

If you read the CVE description linked you'll notice some details focused on the actual specific product, I have a hard time believing random hackers trying to build a botnet would search out critical infrastructure and burn expensive 0-days for small amounts of compute.

Ken Kocienda's book Creative Selection mentions Eazel several times. Ken worked there with Don Melton, who founded the Safari web browser for Apple. After Eazel failed, Apple organized a job fair for Eazel employees.

Eazel is also covered in an excellent interview (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xImAMe32Itg) from the Computer History Museum.
That is super interesting and a little scary.

Sounds similar to dreams where you tell an amazing joke or story and people are laughing uncontrollably and you feel like the funniest person in the world, then if you can recall the joke on waking it is total nonsense. Maybe it is more about transferring emotion/feeling than language.
> I think the general concept here is putting in place restrictions on what code can do in service of making software more reliable and maintainable. The analogy I like to use is construction.

The concept is quite old, and it's called software architecture.

All established software architechture patterns implicitly and explicitly address the problems of managing dependencies between modules. For example, the core principle of layered/onion architecture or even Bob Martin's Clean Architecture is managing which module can be called by which module.

In compiled languages this is a hard constraint due to linking requirements and symbol resolution, but interpreted languages also benefit from these design principles.

First time I edited an accepted answer a couple years back (the original answer was pretty much correct, I just fixed a compiling issue and one missing flag that now needed to be set, but not originally), it was quickly rejected with nonsensical stock rejection templates.

I guess I learned my lesson to never spend time to make accepted answers better.

And then a year later, someone added a comment to mention that flag that needed to be set.
>If you are 99.99% as good as the next candidate, you get no job.

For the vast, vast majority of jobs, this is simply false. You will get an equivalent job elsewhere. But yes, if you're applying to be Prime Minister, this is definitely the case.

>If your bid is 99.99% as good as the other one, you likely don't get the deal.

This is very often false as well, when you look at the metric of whether you'll get work/income, rather than this specific unit of work. There are some industries where you're competing for a few massive winner-takes-all bids, but there are many where this isn't the case. And oftentimes in the former industries, bids are made by consortia and there will be plenty of sub-contracting.

>If you're 99.99% as good as the other guy, you don't get the medal, the fame or the recognition.

This is definitely true in sports, music and some other fields.

I would say, unless you're a founder and are seeking to have massive disruptive impact in some field, this does not apply to anyone who visits HN. Good and great programmers, engineers, researchers and managers will always be well off and have a reasonable amount of recognition/impact, and the exceptional ones will not take such a disproportionately large chunk of the pie to leave the rest in the dust.

Fair points! Our difference is that every item bought through us donates money to free open software projects. And wearing our stuff shows that.

Our designs are basic intentionally. Although, we prefer to call them "minimal" instead! We prefer more simple, less flashy designs--that's just our view on style. We do hope to get more designs in the future, too. Still in the early stages!
Interesting they use the example of covid - to me that's a far less offensive application of censorship than what my research on social media platforms during the last year seems to be indicating - it became very apparent that Meta has/was taking various censorship methods against pro-palestine content - whereas tiktok largely was not (at least from what I could tell, I don't research tiktok as much as I do meta platforms). I suspect (conspiracy theory a bit but not entirely farfetched) that the sudden, completely bi-partisan effort to force tiktok to divest was influenced in no small part by the government's lack of ability to censor that platform compared to ones like meta's.

Was the palestinian stuff directed by the government? I don't know, but it sure seemed to me like the israel/palestine war posts that were allowed through sounded awfully similar to what the white house/IDF was saying about it. When stuff like this comes out, regardless of whether my theory is true or not, it adds fuel to that fire in a way I don't feel is very good for democracy or social media in general, particularly when zuck/meta will gaslight their users and claim state censorship isn't happening when it very, very obviously is. What was stopping them from coming out and saying "hey we're censoring this type of content?" Their entire approach to moderation is like this, it's a completely automated black box that leaves a user with very little clue as to how they're even supposed to interact with the platform without being punished in strange and obtuse ways.

I had a copy of one of the lesser Cubases from an audio thing I owned. I had it registered and on my account...and then I didn't. And, of course, the contact form only offers options that begin with selecting the software you own in your account, so I was left with useless pre-sale contact options. I had a notion to upgrade to one of the higher Cubase versions and maybe get WaveLab using the lesser version that also came with the hardware, but that permanently soured me on the company.
Everything they do involves transportation, which will be at a premium compared to an urban setting. That's just costs that directly hit their pocket book, there are others imposed by virtue of being so spread out that are more diffused across him and his neighbors.
Something missing here in the discussion of object storage and databases is any mention of the declining importance of the file system.

From the 70s through the 90s or 00s everything was file system-based, and it was just assumed that the best way to store data in a distributed system - even a globally-distributed one - was some sort of distributed file system. (e.g. Andrew File System, or research projects like OceanStore.

Nowadays the file system holds applications and configuration, but applications mostly store data in databases and object stores. In distributed systems this is done almost exclusively through system-specific network connections (e.g. port 3306 to MySQL, or HTTP for S3) rather than OS-level mounting of a file system.

(not counting HPC, where distributed file systems are used to preserve the developer look and feel of early non-distributed HPC systems)

>If we take "beyond the edge of one's capabilities" literally, that means you can't do it.

I think you're being a little nitpicky, people often say to practice at the 'edge of your ability' for this reason. You should push a little at the boundary and eventually you grow to be successful at that edge and then can push a little further.

The idea that a private social/sharing/communications platform should be required to carry the messages of the head of government is strongly authoritarian and quite unconstitutional.

It’s incredible to me that people will argue the government’s lack of control over mass media platforms is censorship.

IMO, nobody should be required to carry government propaganda.
