I was 11, so, 1980. My friend rolled up on his bike, and said I gotta check out this thing at the local radio shack - you'd type something and it would say it!

Found out it wasn't that easy. But Radio Shack didn't kick my poor ass out that often, and they had programming books on their shelves and good for the time computers.

They'd kick me out of one R.S., I'd go to another one, or I'd go up to an electronics store "Shaak Electronics"(?) where they had the new Apple IIs, PETs, and Atari 400/800s.

Eventually I turned 12, got my own money (paper route - minimum age), and my dad took out a $600 loan, so I could get a 16k Atari 400, a 410 Tape Recorder for storage, and a black and white TV. I only had the PILOT and BASIC programming languages - so I learned 6502 assembly from coding bytes into a basic string and running it, lol

I still love computers

Run it through a pretty printer?

Try for no warnings with your static code analyzer / linter / compiler?

Make tests for it

Add logging

Put it on gitlab pipeline, make a CI/CD for it

Make it as a standalone docker container (see above point)

Update or make the readme.md

That about sums it up.

Just like when people say "people are so different now; everyone's so <X>"

What bullshit. Everything is the same, except the observer's ever increasing age with respect to others.

Wine, women, song, and CI/CD pipelines than run in 3 seconds

"Here's a WASM implementation - good luck!"

I've only done the "hide person for 30 days" to my entire facebook list as they come up. Works great for an FB break

With the amount of soot kicked up, recent (2018?) simulations show the entire Northern Hemisphere will get dark, nothing will grow for 5-10 years, and the great plains will be colder by 100(F) degrees (admittedly the worst, but most other places are 60-80 degrees colder.

Go south, quickly. Mexico fares okay, but everything in the southern hemisphere does much better.

At the start of the Russian offensive against Ukraine, someone published a paper, imagining a scenario of a flood of lucky (imo) people flooding into South America and what indigenous plants (and probably most animals)

A small nuclear exchange will cut protein production by 7% for years: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7132296/

My pick for a place to comfortably survive a nuclear war in this world (possibly global warming as well) would be Montevideo Uruguay.

Preach it - my inability to figure out or control why the UI decides it's time to ignore what I'm typing in realtime while it's trying to back up a file (or whatever) is the cause of so many frustrations

VSCode has a pretty bad latency problem, and it's the reason I stay away and use Notepad++ or VS2022. Sublime if on Mac.

I use git on the command line. My largest bitch is when it says "invalid command. you typed 'statsu', the closest command to this is 'status'"

Kill me now - it's a non-destructive command, and you KNOW what I was trying to say!

Those mishaps don't happen in IDEs.

My cheap self-enforced act to stop using Facebook for a month:

Every time someone come up on your feed (which you watch constantly you crazy bastards), hide them for 30 days. Eventually, within 5 days, barely anyone is going to be on your feed. You'll get to see that rarely seen message

"You are all caught up for now"

And thanks for writing this. It's been a year and I need another small break

The numbers I heard for transient heart issues from the vax are 1 in 15,000

My own research tells me the months long cardiac issues I got when getting COVID happen 100 times (or more) frequently.

How many percent?

"And there have also been reports of tinnitus following COVID itself." --- Again, how many percent?

Where is the study / research on this? Even something that looks like they went through a rigorous process. VAERS isn't valid, yet they're bringing it up as something authoritative. Anybody and their mother can make a unsubstantiated report on there.

Ugh

Article is two years old - what happened since then?

Unfortunately the site is going through some hiccups

I think it's crap in spots and noise has been going up for years. But after 14 years there, I don't have a decent alternative to it.

Other than HN, what's your alternative?

Enjoy my brain.

Great video of his. I'd recommend almost all of the Asianometry videos, learned a lot from them

This links to the 4 minute 4 second mark when they show them

"The doses we used were high relative to the RDA; for Vitamin B6 the RDA for adults aged 19–50 is 1.3 mg and the supplement contained 100 mg; for Vitamin B12 the RDA is 2.4 μg and the supplement contained 1000 μg."

(in compare, my okay multivitamin has 50mg B6 and 1000ug B12)

I was going to say, it's when my manager screws me out of a break!

Greatest one? When I worked at a place (1993) and they could file tickets as "breaking" - you weren't allowed to leave for lunch until code was fixed.

What process node are the lucirferian microchips?

Nothing is still cool.

I'm going to say Soul of a New Machine made me cry and, especially if you do low level stuff or hardware, is one of the best books which shows overwhelming passion for the art.

They do. And they die then.

I was at one in 2010 that did this - we found out before Christmas our salaries were getting cut in half, to ease burn rate while we found a buyer for the company.

In four months they couldn't even pay us that anymore.

There's a main text input field.

Why the hell can't I start typing as soon as I get to that page?!

You really insist I use the mouse?! My fingers were just on the keyboard typing the url. Goddamn you

^^^^ I feel this way often. This is a solved problem for the past 20 years. As for the past 10 years, the same problem on the phone: Start at that field and bring up the keyboard

This has been known for a bit, I'm glad they finally did a full analysis.

Contrast this to "um, they died of pneumonia!" My half-brother died of pneumonia in May 2020, northern rural Wisconsin, in the middle of this. In his county, the number of "pneumonia" deaths went up astronomically that season.

Huh! I guess it's a dumb coinkydink, cause COVID was fake like birds aren't real
