The form of a keyboard had to be invented. Early printing telegraphs used a piano-like keyboard, with white and black keys.[1]

(Keeping both ends in sync was a huge problem. The machine shown was synched by having the sending operator send AAAAAAAAA while the receiving operator made adjustments. If the machines got out of sync, the receiving operator opened the line switch, which stopped local echo at the sending end. Then both ends had to repeat the AAAAAAAAA drill.

It took a long time, from 1846 to 1907, until Howard Krum finally came up with a mechanism that didn't have sync problems. Krum had the advantage that steel and stamping were available. The clock industry had figured out how to mass-produce mechanisms. Mechanism design then got out of the handmade brass era. This was, in its day, an advance comparable to going from tubes to ICs.)

That's exactly what coal is bad at. Anything less than a day is bad news for coal. Which means that all this coal capacity is building is going to be for rarer seasonal events, and going to be mostly sitting unused.

This book was a great help to me years ago, and I still have a hard copy lying around. It's wonderful to now have a digital edition as well. I often look back on my time with the Delphi IDE with fond memories—though, thankfully, the bad ones seem to fade faster.
I'd begun worrying about the resilience of truth and countermeasures to bullshit particularly online well over a decade ago.

This is an early compilation of heuristics and resources which came up in discussion elsewhere recently, and may be helpful to others.

Interestingly, it was a culture shock when I saw that in other countries (that tend to have a more homogenous ethnic population) informally require photos. Not having a photo on a resume almost guaranteed the resume would go into the trash.

Even more of a culture shock was how much more open people are about their biases in those cases. "We can't have someone short doing job X, or they don't have a friendly face for Y, etc."
Competing brands offer the blocked features without any need for this sort of connectivity, so I'd say ''It works absolutely fine as a dumb dishwasher'' would not be a strong marketing slogan for Bosch.

Except that isn't how neurodivergence works. Yes, everything that the commenter originally posted are things that happen to normal people as well. The difference is in the intensity and duration of these symptoms.

Your comment is overly idealistic about neurodivergent people dealing with their problems. If it was a simple as accepting that our symptoms are normal, don't you think that we would gladly take that as an option? Psychologically, it just isn't a very effective tactic for dealing with our symptoms.
Some beliefs deserve to be looked down upon and disrespected because they are backwards. I wouldn't call them "silly" because they're very serious.

I don't believe in treating religious fundamentalists with compassion and empathy anymore. That's how we got the peace trucks, by not deriding them enough in public and private. There can be no tolerance of hate, and the people you are talking about are motivated by hate of others.

China's solar and wind production is extremely decentralized, and its nuclear production is not significant, except as usual from a proliferation perspective.

While (centralized, government) industrial policy has played a key role in making its renewable energy sector so utterly dominant, the sector thus created is more decentralized and privatized than in even the US.

Agree. Making everything free (including the freedom, e.g. MIT license): SDK, cmdline tools, etc... And only charging for IDE/RAD environment would enormously boost the language popularity.

Russel Barkley, in his book “Leading With ADHD,” actually suggested mentioning or “blaming” your ADHD after a mistake as a way to foster empathy for your personal challenges. It’s not intended to be an excuse, but rather a means for the other person, who assumes XYZ is effortless, to comprehend better/gain empathy.
Show HN: XYMake – Turn Your Posts into LLM-Ready Data
I just built XYMake (https://xymake.com), a tool that lets you convert any X (Twitter) thread into clean markdown, making your conversations accessible for LLMs, MCPs, or any API.

## What it does:
- Transforms any X thread URL into markdown by simply changing "x.com" to "xymake.com" in the URL
- OAuth2 login to "free your data" and make your threads available
- Auto-generates OG images with token counts and participant info for easy sharing
- Serves different content types based on whether the request is from a crawler, browser, or agent

## Why I built it:
I believe people should have the right to own and use their own data. While X/Twitter uses our content to train Grok, we should be able to leverage our own conversations for similar purposes.

I built this as a proof of concept in one day (what started as a 30-minute experiment turned into a 10-hour flow state). It's built entirely on Cloudflare Workers and uses some interesting techniques to serve different content types to different consumers.

## Technical highlights:
- Request identification to serve HTML+OG images to crawlers while providing raw markdown to agents
- Preloading OG image generation using ctx.waitUntil for near-instant loading when shared
- Optimized OG image rendering across platforms using workers-og

Try it out with any X thread - just replace "x.com" with "xymake.com"!

Example: https://xymake.com/janwilmake/status/1904080559422288062

Feedback welcome! This is just the beginning of what's possible when we reclaim our conversational data.
A nation falling is a big deal. I'm surprised at how you hand-wave it away.

Yes, some falls were good. The falls of the Nazi Germany, the USSR, East Germany, and Nicolae Ceaușescu were very good, primarily because those regimes oppressed their populations and murdered tens of millions of people. Yet many falls were bad. The fall of Germany to the Nazi party, the falls of Russia and China to communism, and any invasion and subjugation of a free and noble people is a bad thing.

Let me ask you this rhetorically -- would you rather the USA be ruled by the Chinese Communist Party, the Taliban, Saudi Arabia, Canada, Mexico, or the US government? Imagine the consequences of each -- I think you'd agree that each is objectively better or worse than others for specific reasons. If such a choice were presented, it would not be morally or practically neutral - it would carry tremendous implications for human flourishing (or suffering).

We ought to consider carefully and not hand-wave historical (or potential future) events that carry such massive consequences.

> if your country goes bad, your best move might be to take your family and get the hell out of there

Agreed, but that's a last resort. Many did so as Germany was falling to the Nazis, and as Russia and China were falling to communism. I have a friend whose parents escaped to Taiwan by holding on to the underside of a boat as it crossed the channel... I wouldn't tell them it wasn't a big deal. Many people who did so lost everything except their immediate family in the process.

So many people couldn't flee, though. And so much that had been built (people, skills, knowledge, families, institutions, relationships, social capital) was lost forever.

It's not about wiping out individual achievements it's just about recognizing that no one does it alone and that some ideas were just ready to explode. Radio, Calculus, the Steam Engine, etc all had simultaneous inventions in many areas or get commonly attributed to one particular person are actually just built up to a point they can be successful through the work of dozens of people.

I'm also not saying it's 100% structural or economic just the education tends to highlight individuals instead of fully covering all the others that were just behind the person who's getting the lion's share of the credit historically.
I like that comment, gave me a smile :D You are truly correct, thats why I asked if something like that already exists.
I don't see why I would use it over `std::deque`. It has all the same complexity properties, but better tested, included in stdlib, and supports complex objects. It even has OK cache locality, given it allocates data in large-ish blocks.

You should really include this in you summary table, because it'd have all the same values compared to shift-to-middle array.

And your benchmark confirm this: figure 3 does not show the raw data, but it looks like std::queue may be 8-10% slower on smaller data sizes, and 1-2% slower on larger data sizes. Such small and inconsistent differences do not indicate different O()-complexity, and likely very dependent on specific benchmark design.

How to change the world a lot with a little: Government Watch
> Other humans are not "dogs" or "pigs".

So why is the verse there?

> Jesus is explicitly advocating welfare - providing food, drink, clothes, healthcare, and more to anyone in need.

There is nothing in this verse which says that property is to be expropriated for the purposes of assuring others a particular standard of living, and I don’t think you’ll be able to find one.

> Jesus was also unambiguous on wealth. Christians, who follow the teachings of Christ, should give greater merit to his words than to anything in the old testament which came before.

You’ve ignored my question. If Jesus is God, and God rewarded Job with material wealth in this world, how can Jesus be said to offer an unambiguous criticism of wealth?
As the parent of a teen with ADHD, I find myself comparing my growing-up experiences and anxieties with his. I'm confident that if I were coming of age today, I would probably have been diagnosed with something because I was firmly a couple standard deviations away from the societal mean.

Because we didn't have as extensive diagnoses or therapies back in the 80s compared to now, I had my own phase of wondering what was wrong with me. There weren't any peer or adult role models available to me that really related to my experiences. As a result, there were some difficult years in there...but also, I had to find my own resiliency and ways of mapping my worldview to other people.

Fast forward 40 years. I am conflicted about which is better: to be left to figure it out on your own, or to have a support system that is (at times) overly biased towards leaning on the diagnosis as the explanation. But I can say with high confidence that at least for the coming-of-age years of my child, I am far more thankful that his experiences are different than mine.

"Being a human" is grossly inadequate as a lowest common denominator definition of the needs and experiences of children. Even as broadly discussed as it is, it's still only ~11% of US children and that's still a challenging hill to climb if their peer culture doesn't provide some sort of explanation or incentives for understanding each other.

The idea that arts criticism is somehow 'guerilla marketing' is such a deeply cynical, HN brain take. Of course the people who make things want to get the word out about what they're doing. But The New Yorker doesn't collude with PR agencies to promote things. It's news when people make new things; that's literally the whole idea in coverage of the arts. Is it really your position that when a movie, game or book is reviewed in The New Yorker it's because some PR person told them to? Chris Bryd is a well-respected games journalist, not some industry shill. He's probably wanted to write about this topic for years, and the forthcoming game is part of what makes the profile newsworthy right now.

Anyway if you believe arts criticism is 'quite gross' and want it banned, what does that world look like? Should people who make things not be allowed to tell publications about it? Will there be a cone of silence around new games?
Almost any washer and dryer on the market now has an audible signal (some adjustable for pitch and volume) when the cycle is done, but if you need your phone or watch to be pinged then I guess that's a selling point for you.

It’s not precisely that lawyers are expensive. There are affordable lawyers.

The issue is that a corporation can afford to hire teams of 10s of lawyers to pour hours into any given case.

The real problem is what to do about it?

Suggesting some limits is akin to suggesting that laws shouldn’t be explored, dissecting, and understood down to the letter, which it should.
The barrier should not be the platform. If you have something interesting to say, there are many ways in 2025 to deliver text to people’s eyeballs.

You can use GitHub pages with Hugo which is what I do. You can build out a series of GitHub gists that link to each other. You can host a static S3 website with raw HTML. You can post redundantly to Twitter/Bluesky/your own subreddit/Medium/Google drive.

It doesn’t matter if there’s no single solution to every possible problem. The point is to write something interesting so 1) you understand it better 2) you can reference it later if you forget some details 3) you can show off to potential employers.

Whether or not it’s owned by big tech is a non-goal as far as getting a job is concerned.

No thanks...
> I see a lot of people with ADHD (on- and offline) who tend to make it an essential part of their identity

Honest question: why is this an issue? If someone makes it part of their identity its because they feel its important for others to know, and that can be for a variety of reasons.

Is there a reason we shouldn't make it part of our identity, if we so choose?
I think people in their 20s find it easier to make group identities, and being in a group that tends to be disadvantaged is a uniting force. This is true whether or not you actually have ADHD, which is a problem for sure.

> It’s actually REALLY useful to be able to get a ping on my Apple watch that the dishwasher has finished.

Most dishwashers will play a tune or something, and I can't see why would I want another digitalized distraction in my life instead. But TBH I can't imagine why I would want to wear another portable digital distraction source on my wrist, so maybe I'm just old fashioned.

> Once upon a time I had a dishwasher where the door popped open when it was finished.

This and everything else does not require network connectivity. Only notification does. Plus maybe remote start (already have that with a "delay" on the panel of mine), some UI for statistics. Gimmicks, if you ask me.

Connectivity in devices would make sense for certain conveniences in a perfect world, where companies can be trusted to behave decently. In practice they will brick (on purpose or accident/hack), ransom it in one way or the other, demand sourcing consumables from them after the fact, sell your privacy who knows where.
Are there any recent SPACs (after say 2020) that have actually had a positive cashflow?

I've seen this advice floating around the more predictable social sites today.

What assurances do you get that pushing delete actually deletes your data?
I did not realize how intrinsically I also meant simple in syntax until you suggested that.
Well, they view Genesis as a literal account. I agree with you, though.

As far as the latter point - it was mostly that, at least where I was, a desire to keep government out of religion paired with a desire for religion not to be too involved in government. Among other things they knew that other denominations were more powerful than them and would have far more influence in government.

I'm not an SDA booster (I'm not a member and haven't attended any church for 20 years, and found the insularity of the community stifling) but I still think it's a really interesting denomination.
I would love something like Delphi/VB6, but made for web development.

My day job involves working with PeopleTools, which basically does this. Draw forms (and build all of the supporting objects), save them, and they're accessible through a web browser. You don't need to know HTML, CSS, JS, etc (though it can help), and you can knock out a very based CRUD form in no time without writing any code.

I think the Microsoft Power Platform has features similar to this as well.

But neither of these options are very accessible to regular folks. Something that has the ease of development of Delphi, the deployment simplicity that comes with presenting the application via a web browser, and is accessible to regular folks would be incredible.
