We should not confuse action with result, not confuse the short term with the long term, and not confuse attention with impact. Predictions are not reality, hype is not interest, letters of intent are not money in the bank.

We've been here before, nothing has been proven yet, and the trough of disillusionment is lurking now too.

It's funny that you mention moving outside the city when Zohran's tax plan is centered on bringing the corporate tax rate in-line with our neighboring state.

I'll also caveat that any parallels you might see in Seattle don't really apply to NYC. Besides the low car ownership rates, wealthy individuals choose to in NYC for it's convenience and culture, which really are unique in the US.

Please prove this assertion. Show your math. I can pickup a loaf of bread for $1.42 in a state with a $15/hr minimum wage, as of this comment. What does a $30 minimum wage make it? $2? $2.50? The horror. $900? I am doing my best to be polite and charitable.

raises hand I ran a small SaaS business in the early 2000s, pre-AWS.

Renting dedicated servers was really expensive. To the extent that it was cheaper for us to buy a 1U server and host it in a local datacenter. Maintaining that was a real pain. Getting the train to London to replace a hard drive was so much fun. CDNs were "call for pricing". EC2 was a revelation when it launched. It let us expand as needed without buying servers or paying for rack space, and try experiments without shoving everything onto one server and fiddling with Apache configs in production. Lambda made things even easier (at the expense of needing new architectures).

The thing that has changed is that renting bare metal is orders of magnitude cheaper, and comparable in price to shared hosting in the bad old days.

Sure they could... the problem is just that apparently no structural changes were made during the cleanup, but the wave was there before they turned the water off and gone after they turned it back on. And they don't have to wait for a year, they can adjust the flow - the wave is situated in a "brook" very near the point where it exits a tunnel through which it flows under much of the city, so it's heavily regulated (see this map for all Munich "brooks" on the West side of the Isar: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f3/Karte_M%... - blue are the current ones, dark blue is in tunnel, the purple ones are historical, the Eisbach is #55 in the top right corner).

Oh, the answer really is “let everyone go,” and then “get rid of all billionaires, cap wealth at $100,000,000 and tax the rest at 99%, and make sure every single person has a high-quality, safe place to live, good food, medical care, and friends.

Suddenly there will be far less crime.

Apologies never expected when it comes to USB and HDMI naming and spec stuff. I have to look them up every time.

But, that’s 8K DSC or.. 24fps maybe? then. Weird oversight/compromise for such a pro color-focused monitor, perhaps Asus reused their legacy monitor platform. “8K HDR” at 24fps could be a niche for theater movie mastering, perhaps?

His policies around being soft on crime (do you know what NYC was like in the 90's? It's not some distant history), the free bus fare, the city owned grocery stores, the rent control, are all policies that many feel threaten the economic viability and safety of the city.

If you don't think any of those policies are contentious, you are living in a bubble and greatly disconnected from huge portions of the population.
by lp0_on_fire | 2025-11-05 07:33:56+00:00
No worries. It’s been in flux over the past decade. A few of the major grocery chains pushed to change the laws so they could sell beer and wine under a certain ABV. It has to be in a dedicated area and they can only sell during certain hours.

The state shops themselves aren’t all that horrible IMO but they’re nothing to write home about either. That being said It’s pretty hard to screw up liquor sales when you’re the only game in town.

I like Knuth and think he’s a great writer, but this particular paper [1] is… hard to read. Almost as if it is an unedited stream of consciousness rather than something he intended to be published.

Reading the section you are quoting from (as well as the section of the conclusion dealing with efficiency), I think it should be clear that in the context of this paper, “optimization” means performance enhancements that render the program incomprehensible and unmaintainable. This is so far removed from what anyone in the last 30+ years thinks of when they read the word “optimization” that we are probably better off pretending that this paper was never written. And smacking anyone that quotes it.

The Reconquista lasted more than 700 years and the number of people killed in any given conflict is unknown, with estimates varying by orders of magnitude. Both sides tended to exaggerate casualties, including their own. It was a defacto holy war, and so large casualties on your side could be seen as a sign of great martyrdom and piety, while inflicting heavily casualties on the enemy was also framed as having God's favor - heads I win, tails you lose.

The only thing that's entirely clear is that it was very small scale for the overwhelming majority of the conflict, punctuated by a very small handful of "large" battles that would generally be considered moderate to small scale in modern times. There were certainly not hundreds of major battles. So I don't think anybody knows exactly how many were killed other than 'not that many.' Put another way - over some 700 years it's certain that far fewer people died than e.g. one large modern battle like the Battle of Stalingrad.

The greatest legacy of the era was defining, or at least solidifying, the character of Spain/Portugal and the more militant nature of Catholicism at the time. So for some context, Columbus would set sail for the New World just months after Grenada finally fell!

That seems like a difficult one to provide evidence for. A major problem in the US seems to be that they've got this impenetrable thicket of legislation around healthcare, insurance and employment that makes it impossible for people to make rational decisions.

Just not having that legislation, letting employment & insurance decouple and a sane market for healthcare develop might easily be better than the ACA.

yes and to a degree which i find particularly interesting. its never going to happen because of your example

i prefer working in my vp and see a possible world where vp makes my remote team collaborate as if were in the office, from the comfort of the most ergonomic location in my house

it solves this problem and 0.0001% of people are dorks like me who try and say, "they did it" while the rest of the world keeps going to work as before

all of the tech problems were solvable. people simply dont want to put a thing on their face and i think thats unsolvable

I'm sorry, I refuse to just simply not acknowledge the role liberalism has in the rise of fascism. Whether it's in the past or today, fascism don't just materialize because one guy talks good. It's neither incorrect nor inappropriate to say (neo)liberalism and austerity are direct antecedents to fascist rhetoric.

It's not both sidesing to identify and critique the role democrats had to play here, especially when I say the gop is clearly worse. A critical assessment of how the Dems failed to protect us is not only not helping the GOP, it's exactly the sort of root cause analysis that helps ensure the mid terms go OK.

Saying now's not the time to criticize Dems is the same sentiment that gets us "vote blue no matter who" when Biden runs but "I think we have to consider our options" when Mamdani runs. It's sticking your head in the sand rather than having to face the fact that the party has a losing platform.

Well 2 commands...

aws rds export-task create \ --source-arn <SnapshotArn> \ --s3-bucket-name <Bucket> \ --iam-role-arn <Role>

Then copy it down

aws s3 cp \ <S3 Location> \ <Local Dir> --recursive

The biggest effort would be then running the Apache Parquet to CSV tool on it.

The basic principle still is that you need to shed as heat whatever energy you absorbe from the Sun. Electronics don't create extra heat, they convert electricity into it. So, unless I'm missing something, I'd expect any benefit of superconducting to manifest as less power required per unit of compute, or more compute per fixed energy budget. Power requirements can't go to zero for fundamental reasons (that make parts of CS into branches of physics).

> If I had those resorces at hand, I'd try.

I would too, and maybe they will, eventually. This paper is merely exploring whether there's a point in doing it in the first place.

The problem is that the car manufacturers need a way to extract more money to "grow" and pay for their execs. This won't solve this problem for them, just create another one.

Now this is the problem. Money on a large scale just becomes a huge conflict of interest. This is where regulation should come in, but real regulation, not the bs of the crooked business man that manages the country in the same way.

Excuse me if I'm snarky.

Isn't the obvious solution to build more houses (apartments, flats, whatever)? Like, isn't it incredibly obvious that there is actually a simple solution to this problem - build more so that there is an abundance of choice? How people come to the conclusion that in a densely populated and highly desirable area, the solution isn't building more capacity but rather to artificially cap prices?

It's like a database server running out of memory and the proposed solution isn't to increase memory, but rather just reject new entries into the DB because it's full.

The big copyright cartels are the only copyright holders out there. The people you refer to think they hold copyright on some work or another, but unless another plebe infringes on them, they'll never get a remedy for that.

You think I'm wrong, but if you wrote a song (for instance) and some jackass restaurant was playing it as muzak, ASCAP takes the license money for that. They don't send you a cut. I'd say you have second class rights, but you don't even really have those.

> just document that the behavior becomes unspecified if keys are mutated while they are in the table.

There is no such thing as unspecified but safe behaviour. Developers who can't predict what will happen will make invalid assumptions which will lead to security vulnerabilities when they are violated.

As far as I remember, hypothesis tests smartly. Which means that possibly problematic strings are tested first. It then narrows down which exact part of the tested strings caused the failure.

So it might as well just throw the kitchen sink at the function, if it handles that: Great, if not: That string will get narrowed down until you arrive at a minimal set of failing inputs.

I’m only one data point, but I also swear that I would never buy an Asus laptop again. If you are fine with the operating system, a MacBook Pro is the best in my opinion. It’s not even close.

Otherwise I had okay Dell or Lenovo laptops. Avoid HP, even the high end Zbook ones. A framework might be worth a try if you have a lot of money.

Just to save someone 5 minutes of research, if you are using the EKS AMIs based on AL2023 or Bottlerocket, this is already done for you by pointing to an image on ECR. At least on Bottlerocket, I haven't checked AL2023, the image is baked into the AMI so you don't even need to pull it from ECR.

I think what they meant is, "won't Hypothesis sometimes fail to generate input with an apostrophe, thus giving you false confidence that your code can handle apostrophes?"

I think the answer to this is, in practice, it will not fail to generate such input. My understanding is that it's pretty good at mutating input to cover a large amount of surface area with as few as possible examples.

> There must surely be programs doing a lot of string building or in-place modification that would benefit from non-frozen.

The point is that the magic comment (or the --enable-frozen-string-literal) only applies to literals. If you have some code using mutable strings to iteratively append to it, flipping that switch doesn't change that. It just means you'll have to explicitly create a mutable string. So it doesn't change the performance profile.

Yup, that's a huge reason why I think all of this is just petty bullshit from the GOP. Granted, even though Romney is a Republican, that doesn't mean that every other Republican has to agree with him.

While Romney has said a lot of mixed stuff over the years about the ACA, starting with pledging to repeal it during his 2012 presidential campaign, his more recent rhetoric has softened by orders of magnitude, voting against some of the repeal efforts, voting in favor of some modifications, expressing the need for a replacement plan before repealing it, and acknowledging that repealing it would cause millions of people to lose coverage. I don't agree with his position overall, but I think he's been a fairly "reasonable Republican" about it, including his belief that this sort of legislation belongs at the state level and not the federal level.

But there are plenty of Republicans in the House and Senate (more in the House, I suppose) that just seem rabidly, irrationally anti-ACA. Even while chanting "repeal and replace", they seem to forget the "replace" part of it.

Republican voters seem irrational as well: while opposition to it has softened since the Obama years, it's still pretty high (~70% or so), but you get weird effects. Like if you refer to it as "the ACA" instead of "Obamacare", Republicans don't hate it as much. Or if you don't mention "Obamacare"/"ACA" at all, and instead take a bunch of parts of the law and ask if they support them individually (like "do you support requiring coverage for pre-existing conditions?"), you see less opposition, and even see a majority of Republican voters supporting some of its provisions.

No, what made it unaffordable was scrapping the penalty on not having health insurance. If you force health insurance to cover everyone then you also need to force everyone to have health insurance to keep the system balanced. One way to do that is have everyone automatically covered in a public system: rejected. Another way is to tell people they don’t have to sign up for health insurance but they do have to pay into the system.

I have some thoughts on this. Mamdani is a very charismatic person, and is in touch with a large segment of modern Democrat voters. It's the sort of stuff that can carry him to the White House as VP. He won more then 50% of the vote with a large turnout. As far as mandates go it's a pretty good one.

Now for the other stuff. He is a pretty extreme socialist. He wants to raise taxes on rich guys, businesses. Make buses free, rent controls, defunding the police, city run stores and more. These are great vote winners and terrible ideas. All of that has been tried and failed many times. As a political belief system socialism is a disaster. Thatcher pointed out that no other political experiment has been run as long and has so completely failed as socialism. I think his ideas represents all of the worst excesses of the Democrat party.

Then there's the man personally. My impression of him is he's basically a spoiled rich kid who's never had to work a day in his life. That doesn't mean he's not allowed to be ambitious, but it does put into question his credentials as a genuine socialist. It's easy to hold popular opinions when they won't affect your lifestyle in any way.

Finally there's the ugly stuff. He has used the term "globalise the intifada". For any of his apologists who will claim that phrase has any peaceful connotations, imagine a populist saying "globalise National Socialism". Would you be prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt? NYC is perhaps the most important city in the world. I'm worried for it.

This looks very nice!

Is there a non-interactive CLI as well?

I currently use `bluetoothctl` with a wrapper script and `expect` so that I can quickly fire off `bluetooth.sh <device name substring>`, and it does the tedium of ensuring that the connection is established regardless of my audio settings. I do still use `bluetoothctl` for manually scanning and pairing, but once a device is paired, I don't run it directly. So it would be great if I could solve both things with the same tool.

I would only really need an interactive TUI for scanning and pairing. Maybe not even for that. E.g. if I run `bt pair <some device name>` then the tool could scan available devices and try to pair with one that fuzzily matches the provided name. And `scan` could work in a similar way. E.g. `bt scan --duration 10s` could show found devices within a specific time.

I'm not a big fan of interactive UIs if the same can be accomplished non-interactively. This allows the tool to be scripted, and can be much quicker to do what you want.

Does such a tool exist for Bluetooth? I'm tempted to whip something up myself, though I really have enough side projects as it is...

This looks like to suck so high.

If Epic accepts that, they will have solved their case without fixing the issue that we were all hoping for.

Google would settle with their terms but that are still quite bad as I see it. Like if you were to install an app like f-droid from the store, it's not only the app that would be subject to Google terms but all the one installed later by f-droid.

Also, this would prevent the justice to set the precedent that Google actions are not ok. The case would still be "undecided".

And regarding what is proposed, I would be surprised that Epic is satisfied with a settlement that is limited in time to 2032. Especially a "short" duration like that. I don't remember when the first trial started but a case like this in justice can easily take 7 years all by itself.
