/tech/ - Technology

Can someone summarize the hype around this guy and his research?

What about a cock?

If he could regenerate dicks it would be the greatest advancement in medicine since the vaccine

>>18105
Very briefly - his big idea, bioelectricity, is that the body of an organism isn't much different from the brain - cells communicate with one another via electrical signals to form and achieve goals - what we call intelligence. He's using biochemistry to manipulate cells' electrical signals and thus their goals, and he's done this to great effect on lesser organisms - from making frogs regenerate their hind limbs to making flatworms grow multiple heads with different shapes. The ultimate goal of course is to apply this technology to mammals, especially humans, but he apparently hasn't had any success on that front.

Someone who knows more marxist philosophy than me could probably explain what this has to do with dialectics.

They've used electricty to regrow amputated rat limbs in the 70s. Good that people are researching it again tho.

all the "languages" and frameworks that make money fucking suck. theyre terrible and suck what little joy i find in programming. i fucking hate it and theyre driving me insane

Which one is your poison?

What do you expect it to do? Like whether it can fail or what? Or memory wise? Not sure what your expectations of int.Parse() can possibly be.

webshits discover for the hundredth time that they get paid so much because their tools are universally horrible

>What do you expect it to do? Like whether it can fail or what? Or memory wise? Not sure what your expectations of int.Parse() can possibly be.
For starters, I don't even understand how you could call a method on int, in my mind it just feels wrong to make int a class type

>>22126
Java and C# overload classes as namespaces. In java Integer is the class containing an int value and also the namespace for the static function java.lang.Integer.parseInt().
The C# int/Int32 type is a value type/object but the same applies regarding int.parse() being the parse function in namespace System.Int32.

I agree. They should allow for bridging though, so bunkers can conveniently backup or act as a cdn for the main board.

>>22015
It was a jab at java, not PHP.

Look at the hundreds of different ways to do something very simple: write shit to a file.

Half of these solutions will give you magic runtime errors if you try to run them.

an imageboard is such a goddamn simple type of software, I have no idea why there have been so many failed attempts to make a replacement for vichan. I can only assume it's because the people who aren't complete /g/-tier midwit larpers who have the skills to do this have other things they'd rather be doing, or maybe it's because the people who fall into a range of having the skills to do it and the interest to get bogged down in autistic design decisions instead of making something that Just Werks

source: I have a working, albeit very rough, imageboard engine written in Common Lisp that is currently like maybe 300 LOC and I could probably get it polished into a better state, add some fancy stuff like multithreading or liveboard features or whatever, but it's hard to get excited about something that isn't all that interesting

>>22102
>I have a working, albeit very rough, imageboard engine written in Common Lisp
Why not just add image posting to a proven textboard written in scheme?
http://textboard.org/

>>22112
personal preference of CL over scheme and also because as I said before, an imageboard is such a trivially simple piece of software that it's not like it would be unreasonably difficult to make another one, as much as it also is kind of boring and pointless

I've seen this textboard engine though and think it's neat for what it is

there are apps for that
>deaf
deaf people already use computers
>handless/disabled
yes, there are PCs which track vision
>build my own PC
you can, it's possible
>in a way nobody would think of but me because I'm a special snowflake
c'mon bro, really?

I see it more that capitalists lack the structure and motive to make anything better. The Unix wars showed capitalists can't work together unless under the direction of a cartel (Wintel) or by simply capturing the standards of what people do freely (enterprise Linux distros). If the PC industry was still run by the electronic engineers of the late 70s that simply wanted a computer at home they could play with PCs would be far more open and useful but that was a unstable state for a market under capitalism, once it was clear there was real money to be made the industry got taken over by capitalists proper.

There have been roughly 5 waves of form factors of computers:

1. mainframes
the operating systems written for mainframes tended to be extremely expansive and general, and thoroughly engineered from first principles. they also provided tons of facilities for deduplicating effort between programs. this is exemplified by multics, where there is no distinction between memory pages and disk files, and where since all memory regions (called segments) were secured with a sophisticated ACL-based permission system, they could be shared between programs and users. the multics people basically tried as hard as possible to save on programmer labor. they defined standard interfaces between all programming languages on the system, and also, made all languages linkable to the shell, thus making all libraries on the system callable commands. due to the memory access being protected by the hardware, it was possible to write the kernel in the same way as the rest of the operating system, thus there was not a distinction between kernel mode and user mode like in modern operating systems. the kernel was just another library that implemented the kernel's functionality. this makes it similar to the modern notion of an exokernel, but preceding it by several decades. multics was so resilient to hardware failure that it was possible to split the mainframe into two computers while it was still running, like a biological cell dividing, by removing hardware pieces and reassembling them elsewhere. it even had a graphics system, though one which is quite alien to the normal understanding of it. basically the graphics system more resembled a CAD program than anything else, but this was combined with a standardized ontology or inventory which was shared between programs. thus for example if you were to define a model such as a teapot, then there would be one "teapot" object on the system shared between all programs, instead of being created and recreated over and over again by different programs. here again you can see the great attention paid to labor saving for programmers. multics had a vision of computing becoming a public utility, charged at a flat rate of computing time. it is very obvious to see the socialist implications of this line of thinking.

The computer mouse is a dumb idea for text processing. Lots of pointless switching between keyboard and mouse. Check out the keyboard of the Canon Cat by Jef (yes one f) Raskin. Raskin also came up with the concept of a zoomable text interface, but he died before doing much with that.

There are solutions to that… https://keymouse.com/

Because capitalists have gotten so insanely shitty with their fuckery that it's hard to imagine a lie about them that would not be plausible.

what you call a smartphone is really a tiny desktop computer or laptop with hardware that requires proprietary drivers that prevents you from being able to install your own operating system

>winblows faggot thinks you need a gayming pc to run linux

>>22105
all computers made after 2010 require at least some form of proprietary firmware my man

You mean haskell with wirthian syntax?
I tried this with the example from haskell.org:

function FilterPrime(List PrimeList) return List is

  function ListPredicate(Integer x) returns boolean is
  begin
    return x mod List.head /= 0;
  end ListPredicate;

begin
  List(PrimeList.Head, FilterPrime(List(PrimeList.Tail, ListPredicate))));
end FilterPrime;

List Primes := FilterPrime(2 .. Integer'Last);

We'll only know when communism happens.

????????

>Meaning that you could write a program incrementally by implementing a highly detailed domain description. This way, the language itself could coerce you into writing implementations that actually fit the domain, without any incorrect assumptions since they're already spec'ed elsewhere.

1. as a prerequisite you must read ten 1,000 page manuals
2. each manual contains long drawn out histories of how the authors of the previous manual were traitors to the project of creating a new programming language, and contradicts the recounting of the previous authors
3. instead of printing stacktraces it accuses you of being schismatic

What OS, and was it custom built or prefab?

probably capacitor that got too much voltage or smthn

Probably the PSU, I had some die on me like that before.

sounds like a capacitor in the power supply blew up. it happens. buy a new PSU

because its less easy to get distracted than on a computer where you can just open up youtube and shit

Ereaders suck and computers are full of digital heroin.

The same book can educate generation after generation if stored properly.
The programmed obsolescence of your shitty e reader will only let you use it for a decade or two, if the blue light doesn't fuck up your eyes and completely claim your very ability to read before that.

Meanwhile people are still archiving 8-inch floppies that even today mostly hold their data.

>mostly hold their data

wow impressive

Try connecting to a usb stick through it

i think cheap usb hubs can have this problem but not power bricks
