I would encourage anyone reading who is less familiar to put on "everyday people", which you may have heard in a car commercial, but this time pay close attention to the lyrics. https://youtu.be/YUUhDoCx8zc

If you've known a few people who suffer psychotic symptoms and get to know the pattern of how they developed, drugs can appear commonly but it's much less cut and dry whether the drugs are responsible. For example college age, lik

It's also a joke, and a pretty good one at that. Shows a sense of humor.

Maybe there's some sense of longing for a tool that's similar today, but there's no way of knowing how much hypercard did have the impact you are talking about. For example many of us reading here experienced HyperCard. It

Some of his old demos of graphics capabilities on the Mac or hypercard are around on YouTube, and I watched some maybe 10 years ago. He displayed not just the tech chops but he was a good communicator. RIP.

There are all sorts of stereotypes about frugal students which have truth, but simultaneously, the education market is in some respects a cash cow. Look at tuition costs, or the cost of textbooks. If they're already spending a lot of l

My memories are of looking up stuff at the bar and grill in my college town. It could also browse an early iteration of the full desktop web Facebook UI, at a time when they had no mobile app.

He's currently 96, and I started noticing in his 2022-2023 interviews that he seemed to lose a bit of the spark, so while it is always sad and moving to see such things, I don't know how much Chomsky left we were getting anyway. T

Many years ago I remember Windows support vanished on a bunch of printers at the 32 to 64 bit transition. That was around the time I learned how printing on Linux and BSD worked, to save a printer or two.

From what I've heard, Chomsky had a stroke which impacted his language. You will, unfortunately, not hear a recent opinion from him on current developments.

This seems like cope and justification of bad behavior.

But when they cease to be competent and aren't able to admit it, it's less respectable.

Do you think meta is doing well with Zuck's skin? In the last 10 years their main success is through acquisitions, a most of their new initiatives fail miserably, and they've had nothing but PR scandals. I recently read Careless

I'm old enough to remember that before docker there was chroot. It's fairly easy to put lots of different user mode portions of Linux distros into directories and chroot into them from the same kernel. It seems a bit like what y

I recall hearing that WordPerfect usage survived longer in the legal field. I also remember in the late 90s, before StarOffice/OpenOffice/LibreOffice took off, WordPerfect had a resurgence on Linux, because there was a need for a

I remember being a kid and seeing BASIC in a book from the library and not understanding how to run it. I thought maybe if you saved it in a file with the right extension it would just run. Eventually I figured out how to use the interprete

I see the word "tricycle" and I'm reminded of the Piaggio MP3, from the parent company of Vespa. It has two front wheels and one rear.

He really didn't say a lot there, so I am wondering if it merits an HN thread. Maybe over time it will be clearer what he means, or what he thinks on the topic. I don't feel like I can read a lot into that one piece. Edit: why the

The specific problem is that American intervocalic /t/ and /d/ is very similar to Spanish /ɾ/. But if they don't get it right it's not perceived as the right phoneme. The Spanish /t/ is more

Victor's problem isn't really the vowels or pacing. The final consonants are soft or not really audible. I am not hearing the /ŋ/ of "long" as the most marked example. It sounds closer to "law". In hi

Solaris got disrupted by Linux, and their hardware was disrupted by Intel machines. When Linux on x86 is working well, there's little reason to shell out money for Solaris on SPARC. They had Java but that's also challenging to mon
