In my region the local First Nations people, Mi'Kmaq, teach it to students in local schools. One school made a garden and planted the corn, beans, squash. So at least here it's been talked about. I think they are, rightly, proud of the technique and implementing it. So I would say at least in this region of Mi'Kmaq (south eastern Canada) it was known about and used.
This only holds if your thinking on the subject of economic systems is only as deep as choosing your character’s class in an RPG game. There’s no need for us to make every last industry a state owned enterprise and no one who’s spent longer than an hour or so contemplating such things thinks that way. I have no desire to not have a variety of companies producing things like cars, electronics, software, video games, just to name a few. Competition does drive innovation, that is still true, and having such firms vying for a limited amount of resources dispatched by individuals makes a lot of sense. Markets have their place.

However markets also have limits. A power company competing for your business is largely a farce, since the power lines to your home will not change. A cable company in America is almost certainly a functional monopoly, and that fact is reflected in their quality of service. Infrastructure of all sorts makes for piss-put markets because true competition is all but impossible, and even if it does kind of work, it’s inefficient. A customer must become knowledgeable in some way to have a ghost of a clue what they’re buying, or trust entirely dubious information from marketing. And, even if somehow everything is working up to this point, corporations are, above all, cost cutters and if you put one in charge of an area where it feels as though customers have few if any choices and the friction to change is high, they will immediately begin degrading their quality of services to save money in the budget.

And this is only from first principles, we have so many other things that could be discussed from mass market manipulation to the generous subsidies of a stunning variety that basically every business at scale enjoys to the rapacious compensation schemes that have become entirely too commonplace in the executive room, etc etc etc.

To put it short: I have no issue at all with capitalism operating in non-essential to life industries. My issue is all the ways it’s infiltrated the essential ones and made them demonstrably worse, less efficient, and more expensive for every consumer.
One benefit of a separate device, especially a small one like a Roku or Firestick, is you can take it on holiday with you to access all your services while away (assuming your destination has a TV with HDMI).

The art artifacts used by the engine are not part of the source code, and there is no obligation from the game engine to provide you the artifacts. You can either used those provided by the original game (which is licensed under a difference license) or you are free to produce your own and you can release this under CC0 if you wish, but this is anyway independent from the source code. This is a very common practice used by open source games for years.

I am bored of AI - it produces boring and mediocre results. Now, the science and engineering achievement is great - being able to produce even boring results on this level would be considered SCI-FI 10 years ago.

Maybe I am just bored of people posting these mediocre results over and over on social and landing pages as some kind of magic. Now, the most content people produce themselves is boring and mediocre anyway. The Gen AI just takes away even the last remaining bits of personality from their writing, adding a flair of laziness - look at this boring piece I was too lazy to write, so I asked AI to generate it

As the quote goes: "At some point we ask of the piano-playing dog not 'Are you a dog?' , but 'Are you any good at playing the piano?'" - I am eagerly waiting for the Gen AIs of today to cross the uncanny valley. Even with all this fatigue, I am positive on the AI can and will enable new use cases and could be the first major UX change from introduction of graphical user interfaces or a true pixie dust sprinkled on actually useful tools.
The article doesn't clear up the mystery, but this explanation sounds the most convincing to me:

> "You had to use something when you were typing because you would write two or three paragraphs on deadline," Harrison says. "Then the copyboy would pick it up and send it to the composing room. It was necessary [to have] some way to say, 'This is it, it's over... Put a head on it and put it in the next day's paper.'"

So it used to be part of an ad-hoc protocol for sending paper messages from your typewriter to the print shop, and the "-30-" was what EOF is today?

What about a dynamic language with an AOT compiler? E.g. SBCL implements Common Lisp by compiling everything ahead of time.

This is a purely political decision, not an inherent cost of jailing.

Your number comes down to $100k per person per year. That’s just insane. Many families earn less than that (post-tax)!

And obviously jail is supposed to be cheaper than non-jail life in the first place, because you’re not paying for luxury, just food, (cheap) rent and security.

I think lobsters was a big part of that. The lobsters used to be in the waters near shorelines supposedly. Even recently i.e. early 1900s before lobster was popular I've heard farmers would gather them on beaches and use them for fertilizer. I live on an island so it's a common thing here to have farms near beaches.

> One cannot be DDOSed with junk when not actively trying to stuff as much junk into ones head.

The junk gets thrown at you in mass volume at low cost without your permission. What you gonna do? keep dodging it? waste your time evaluating every piece of information you come across?

If one of the results on the first page in search deviate from others, it's easy to notice. But if all of them agree, they became the truth. Of course your first thought is to say search engines are shit or whatever off-hand remarks, but this example is just to illustrate how the volume alone can change things. The medium doesn't matter, these things could come in many forms: book reviews, posts on social media, ads, false product description on amazon, etc.

Of course, these things exist today but the scale is different, the customization is different. It's like the difference between firearms and drones. If you think it's the same old game and you can defend against the new threat using your old arsenal, I admire your confidence but you're in for a surprise.
Not all racists are nazis.
A nice read, but I think there is a contradiction here that needs to be cleared up:

1) On one hand, the author says that humans learn from examples, not core concepts.

2) On the other hand, the author emphasises the importance of reducing "conceptual overload", by reducing the number of concepts while maintaining their expressiveness.

So it is not that core concepts are not important for learning. Rather, it is essential to have a set of well-defined and well-documented core concepts which cover what the system can do. But of course, you also need plenty of insightful examples, and of course a "Getting Started" guide should start with examples, not core concepts. But if the core concepts are simple and few enough to fit into a "Getting Started", that's a win.
I thought this was going to be about genetics or something.

Baptists are strictly against gambling - GA introduced free college education funded by the lottery to legalize the state lottery (GA was losing a fortune to cross state gambling).

The largest Christian denomination, the Roman Catholic Church, teaches that, while games of chance aren't intrinsically evil (ie running an MC simulation), and low stakes gambling is allowed (raffle), gambling must be

- fair. That's obvious

- even odds for all participants

Presumably, no house advantage

- not be pathological

You cannot play if you're addicted to gambling, have an addictive personality, or often that an addiction could arise

- not involve very high stakes as the money would have been better spent on the poor

No $10 000/hand table.
> Why would Iran pay anything? If USA decides to launch unprovoked full scale invasion, they have a right to defend themselves!

I already told you why: They ratified a treaty saying so.

(Also: 'unprovoked'? The US isn't seeking reasons for that right now, even currently trying to lower tensions between them and Israel, and the two even had a brief period where they agreed to stuff: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_nuclear_deal_framework)

Furthermore, the right to self defence doesn't give countries free reign to do anything, it has to be done with consideration to the harms done to non-combatants, both in the sense of "civilians" and "neutral countries".

> And US army could not even conquer Afghanistan after 20 years. There is no way they would win.

They conquored Afghanistan in a few months; they didn't want to run the place, so they tried to build a democracy. That didn't do what they were expecting, but it doesn't matter if the threat is "does XYZ have nukes and ICBMs?"

I do wonder who the game appeals to though, since it's sold on PC and Xbox. I played it as a child on my PC and the experience was quite immersive, even if the graphics were bad.

I recently played the new one on the console, and it just felt... off. I didn't feel immersed, though the plane handling seemed realistic. I think my brain was primed console-wise for something similar to a GTAV flying experience, and I can definitely say that I had far more fun zipping between contoured hills in GTA than I did on MFS2024. Maybe had I played it on PC, my reaction would be different.

Show HN: Chapar – A Native API Testing Tool for Developers
Hi HN,

I'm excited to share Chapar, a native API testing tool I've been building with GoLang. I created it out of frustration with other API testing tools and aimed to make something fast, minimalistic, and more flexible, especially when it comes to gRPC.

Features:

Supports both HTTP and gRPC protocols.
Workspaces to organize your API endpoints.

Environments for storing variables and configurations for different API setups.

Send requests using GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH, HEAD, OPTIONS, CONNECT methods.

Flexible request body types like Form, Raw, Binary, and content types such as JSON, XML, Text, HTML.

Different authentication methods like Basic, Bearer, API Key, or No Auth.

Support for gRPC reflection, proto files, and loading sample request structures.

Chaining requests with Pre/Post request options for more complex testing workflows.

Dark mode.

All data is stored locally, ensuring privacy—nothing gets sent to any server.

Import Postman collections.

Cross-platform and lightweight, without any JS, ensuring it's fast and easy to run.

Upcoming Features:

Support for WebSocket and GraphQL.

Python as a scripting language for pre/post requests.

Tunneling to servers and Kubernetes clusters as pre-request actions.

You can try it out by downloading the binary from the [GitHub release page](https://github.com/chapar-rest/chapar/releases) or building it yourself. Since it's written in GoLang and has no JavaScript dependencies, it's lightweight and fast to start and use.

I'm still in the early stages and there's a lot of room to grow, so I'd love feedback and suggestions. Feel free to give it a try and let me know your thoughts!
Based. The more I read about TSMC, the more I like them.
There was already tons of money in college sports, having the same overall corrupting influence. Just that the students themselves didn't get any of it.

If we want less money around college sports there need to be a lot more rules all over the place to make sure there is less profit to be had. Or we could just let people get paid for labor even though they are also students, which is the fair things to do and it's something we do in just about every other context.
I’ve always viewed this feature as similar to the plastic covering you sometimes see on old people’s couches. Sure, it makes the thing last longer, but at the expense of being notably worse the entire time you own/use the thing. I’m not crippling my device just to marginally increase its resale value some point down the line.

If the concern isn’t resale/trade-in value, then it makes even less sense because it’s going to be YEARS before your battery life that you’re intentionally throwing away 20% of is going to be less than someone who uses the full capacity but has a slightly more degraded battery.
Alcohol is definitely regulated and fast food is too a broad term to mean anything.

But yeah, gambling should also be heavily regulated (as alcohol) and it is far from a "little pleasure", it can easily become an addition even without throwing around ads, free first bets and gamification.
Interesting, I thought that only exit nodes carry a reputation risk. I guess there must be some really zealous scrapers who ban middle nodes based on the public list.
To be fair, most regular users are not impacted by this vulnerability. That is exactly what is written in the article.

That was supposed to be "self-medication", but we may have stumbled upon another idea here.
Yes, I'm working on that feature, and I'll have it available in the tool very soon.
War games can be very deceptive though. Back in 2019/20, 2 separate studies ( Polish and US) expected that it would only take Russia 4-5 days to get to Warsaw with Polish units sent to the border suffering 60-80% casualties.

To be fair NATO wasn’t taking really taking defense that seriously back and maybe they had a point, although considering what happened in Ukraine that seem like a very unlikely outcome (unless Britain/France/Germany decided to stay out and not risk their air forces ..)

I guess overestimating your opponents is usually better than the opposite. OTH had Britain/France not made that mistake in the 30s much of WW2 could have been prevented.

There are a lot of cases (to the point where I expect your average person sees dozens of them every day) where the media isn't just "over-simplifying"; they're presenting things that are specifically crafted to both

- Make the reader leave with an false understanding of the situation

This exact same thing happens with political campaigns.
That's the TCP port cupsd listens on. You want to look at the UDP port cups-browsed listens on (which is where the problem is, and it isn't configurable: if cups-browsed is running, you're probably vulnerable).

In general I would say don't look at config files to verify this kind of thing. Use something like 'ss -lp' to get a list of what processes on your machine are actually listening on (anything that isn't 127.0.0.* or [::1] is generally going to mean network-accessible)
AI only helps writing in so far as checking/suggesting edits. Most people can write better than AI (more engaging). AI cant tell a human story, have real tacit experience.

Rereading things works better when they look different, even superficially. Have you ever noticed a bug or typo immediately on a Gerrit/GitHub/etc. code review submission page that you previously overlooked a dozen times in your editor?

And scribbling on paper is still unparallelled as a thinking device for rearranging things, catching repetitive turns of phrase, and the like. A tablet with a pen works to some extent, but I cannot surround myself with tablets showing parts of the same document like I can with sheets of paper, and that’s helpful for long-form texts. No word processor with mouse-and-keyboard input can compare.
Hackers are against corporations. If breaking the copyright laws make corps bigger, more powerful and more corrupt, hackers will be against it rightfully so. Abolishing copyright is different than abusing it, we should abolish it.
