> Is your city/country implementing lockdowns,

they have and I didn't care, because I don't need to leave my home to enjoy my life. If anything a fully remote world would be even better because then I can go live in the countryside and have my own land without having to see other humans

> do you have a small apartment and/or your spouse working at the same time in the same space

yep, and we get along great. I love spending all day with my partner and we've never been happier individually or as a couple

> young kids?

I choose not to have kids specifically so I don't feel like I have to get away from my own home and family to feel sane.

I've gotten the impression that the lockdown, pandemic world has been a brief breath of fresh air for the hermits, introverts, misanthropes of the world, and a taste for extroverts of how miserable it is for many of us to adapt to a world that doesn't accommodate our personalities and social preferences

Reminded me of this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fettecke

Another art project of his, an infant bathtub draped with stuff, was also destroyed -- by people who used it to wash some dishes.

In either case, the story seems more interesting than the work itself, but what do I know.
Sure, but they're not in the same group as Musk and Bezos who are wealthy because the company they built happens to be valuable.
Chick Corea was my gateway drug to jazz as a teenager, after my guitar teacher gave me Spain to practice.

A lot of musicians have the playing chops but few do truly interesting and original work as composers. Chick Corea was one of those.

Some of my favorite tracks, off the top of my head: Spain, Captain Marvel, Armando's Rumba, Sicily, Samba L.A., The Slide, Leprechaun's Dream, North Africa, Eternal Child, Tumba Island, Got A Match, Charged Particles.

The last track has some special significance to me since I listened to it repeatedly to pump myself up for a big life decision.

Plus, I have fond memories driving my parents crazy on roadtrips by playing "that crazy music" (= either Chick Corea or video game soundtracks) in the car.

Yea that's a big part of what tarp was. Banks sold preferred stock to the treasury.

It wasn't for nationalization though, the treasury didn't vote with its stock while it had it (also it was bought back).

I'm not saying it was explicitly intentional but it isn't believable nobody on the election commission was aware of the alignment issues from previous elections. It is either straight up incompetence or willful neglect. Either way, the will of the people wasn't acted upon.
The point stands: the summer BLM protests in DC were marching in the closed-off streets around the White House and were met with even stronger resistance from the police.
I found most of it to be quite pleasant, except a large fraction of Kentucky (and I say that as a former resident) due to the combination of malicious drivers and extremely harsh road design.
Excellent question, but how does one measure the length of a string constantly being extended on moving sands?
The quality is good not great. If you are going to compared to Duo or Facetime, its not there yet. Ill say thats its not a show stopper though
That's a real understatement. Privacy and legal compliance toward evolving laws in a massive codebase + many datasets spanning multiple complex systems is a company-wide effort that takes some serious system engineering ingenuity. Some of the smartest people at these FAANG companies are currently working on privacy engineering.

> I am genuinely concerned that people have forgotten just how fragile democracy is and are trying to score political points at the expense of critical institutions.

That's assuming the losing minority still wants democracy. Maybe they just want King-for-Life Trump.
The parent was more specific and asked about changing a species's genome. Infecting everyone does not lead to a change in genome if they die (or fight it off).

Assuming a low percent of the infected get their genome changed or produce offspring with altered genome, those don't take over.
Seems fairly complex still. Not completely sure this makes it more understandable. But maybe that wasn't the point?
I wish this wasn't presented as sinister.

The fact is, that phone companies store all that data for EVERY cell phone, and it's always available to government agencies and divorce attorneys after a subpoena.

All this does is raise the common man's awareness, and possibly provides an afternoon of fun looking at your travel history. If you want your iphone data secret, it prompts you to encrypt your backups when you first plug the phone in.
Well, I didn't mean to say that the 60k and 240k families are "similar" but my suggestion was that they are much more similar (despite the 50 percentile gap) than the 240k is to someone 4 percentile above him.

So it's relative similarity I'm referring to, if that makes any sense.

Mr. Yegge says, "it only takes a few people to poison a community"

Yes, and it is the kvetchers that are putting a black cloud over a language and community that has been evolving quite nicely otherwise.
There's this bit about the 'show' command on your computer. I'm wondering if that's a bash script, or a standalone bit of software to forward data to their servers?
There's an anology that can be made to businesses that have only one client (where 'only' is defined as more than about 70% of revenue). That's a dependence which is, ultimately, outside of your control - meaning your business's future is ultimately outside of your control.

It's interesting that, offline, when I work with companies who have that dependence they know it's their biggest risk. For most owners, it's the stress ball in the pit of their stomach that keeps them up at night - what happens if that client cancels the contract / is late with their invoices / goes into Administration?

I don't seem to get that feeling from business owners dependent on a platform like Facebook and Twitter. Maybe I don't know enough of them. Maybe they don't realise how fraught with danger their entire business model is.
I agree about the already-known argument. The Charlie Hebdo murderers, the Boston marathon murderer, Lee Rigby's murderer, they've all been known to the police and/or intelligence services.

In which case, a pertinent question to ask is if the aim is to stop such attacks, is it appropriate to spend this much time and effort building a bigger haystack on top of the needles they already have?
Audio OnlyFans already exist
I second that mention. I use it across Linux, macOS, Windows, both in terminal mode and in GUI. Very flexible, Markdown friendly. I have my editor of choice (vim) which launches inside the terminal version. You can define which editor you wish to use if you don't like the included editing.
"Not everybody needs to build stuff or achieve things IRL. And that's perfectly fine." Probably the answer to the Fermi Paradox.
I didn't realize that was up for debate. But I suppose in 2006, not everyone agreed that Google was killing Yahoo ("but what about their xyz, it's so much better than Google's xyz!!!").

In the last 5 years alone, AMZN grew 4x faster than WMT. For two direct competitors with a 4x difference in growth rate, how do you think the story ends?
I've attended a few The Economist events. To an American, especially given the current sensitivities around titles and gender roles, The Economist is hilarious in the vast number it gives you to choose from and perhaps "Other" isn't even a choice. Yep Mr. or Viscount it is is.
> Avoiding the temptation to set bigger and more far-reaching precedents than is strictly necessary for the case at hand avoids giving the impression that the judicial branch is doing the job of the legislative branch.

Well, that's the theory.

In fact, they are doing the job of the legislative branch, they can't stop people from noticing this, and sticking to this approach just means they're doing their job badly.
Japan has a 99.3% conviction rate, but only a 37% indictment rate, implying roughly two thirds of those arrested and held are let go without charge.
Not a crime, a reality, cheers to anyone who tries to keep that reality at the forefront of the conversation.
In that very specialized case this works. Does your system have any guarantees beyond eventual consistency where eventual could mean hours or days?

My point is that in general, EC is not a feature. Nobody sets out hoping to find a database that provides EC. They usually set out to find a database that can be globally distributed and have strong ACID guarantees. When confronted with various cost constrains they eventually settle for a system that makes trade offs where part of the price is EC. They then work around EC, usually not completely but enough that most of the time the system works fine. But EC is not in and of itself good or desirable, it’s just a less of several evils. Moreover, of the evils that it does compete with its necessarily the least, just the easiest to implement and as a result the most popular.

Your argument of “it works in this one case and it works well” is a bit of a straw man in that no cache at all also works in some cases, but that doesn’t make it a general solution. I have successfully used an EC system for a decently sized (at the time at least) dataset and it worked well but it was only because that particular workflow naturally allowed for EC semantics (streaming updates every few seconds/source). But I sure as hell wouldn’t want to build a bank on EC.
What is the process for patching seL4? How does e.g. adding a parameter to an existing function affect the proof, and what's the process for proving additional predicates?
Overgeneralizations about HN are my weak spot! Actually Scott and I bumped three Google submissions off the HN front page this afternoon for that very reason. The goals here are substance and variety. To be fair, some of those blog posts are substantive articles, while others just read like press releases, and the same is true on apple.com.

It's strange how some users get indignant about certain bigcorps in favor of other bigcorps and vice versa. I suppose the Greeks were that way about their gods.
I would imagine Microsoft would find Mono a very useful Novell asset to get control of.

This is true but not really responsive to the parent comment's point; the nginx architecture is better suited to handling this kind of attack; contexts are much more expensive than file descriptors.

File descriptors are themselves an artificial construct that can be coded around. In the unlikely event that this attack ever became super relevant, a relatively simple kernel module could drastically amp up the number of connections a host could absorb --- although a RED queue would probably keep you from having to go even that far.
+1.

Paul Krugman of the NY Times wrote extensively both during the crisis and since about the correct way to handle this situation:

1. Put the failing bank into "receivership". I.e., a "receiver" (temporary managerment) appointed by the government takes over the company and tries to salvage it.

2. Fire the original management team. I.e., the ones that got them into this mess with their excessive risktaking. Good. They should suffer the consequences of their bad management decisions. That's capitalism.

3. Take on whatever additional debt or equity financing is necessary to turn the company around - without paying any regard to the positions or desires of the current stockholders. The current stockholders' positions' will likely get diluted to nearly worthless. Good. They should suffer the consequences of their bad investing decisions. That's capitalism.

4. After the company is turned around, take it out from under government receivership, hire a new management, and (if needed/appropriate) launch it public again via an IPO.

There's a long, established history for handling failed banks this way (read up on the S&L Crisis), and it's the proper way to keep an institution alive and out of bankruptcy, without rewarding the management and stockholders who brought it to bankruptcy in the first place.

Krugman often pointed out, though, that the Obama administration was too scared to go this route - perhaps because they were worried about the absurd accusations of "socialism" that the Psychotic Right would undoubtably have started screaming about.

So instead, they chose to reward the management and shareholders that caused the problem, by using government money to help prop up the value in their worthless company. Moral hazard indeed! Privatize all the profits, but give all the losses to the public. And socialism is the evil here?!?!?!?
This is so refreshingly different from anything I would have come up with.

Hmm. Maybe I do need a co-founder. :)
I sent in an invite request to Djangy... Hopefully you'll give me an account ! :)
I guess my biggest question is why? There are better protocols out there, like RTP-MIDI, that exist to send MIDI events over networks, and aren't dependent on a single language's rather extensive baggage. Web MIDI just seems like it'll end up being a latency-ridden glitchfest as people try to debug webservers and web software for solutions that are better created elsewhere.
> but teams not being together is a huge drawback

Define together? What does that even mean? Together in the same room? I'd have to completely disagree. Teams working together is extremely important. Teams _being_ together, as in co-located, is just a preference.

> Peopleware covered it and it was one of the top detriments

Peopleware has ideas that have stood the test of time. However their opinions regarding remote work have not. The tools available to teams and engineers today are far superior to those in 2000 (not exactly sure on that date)

> Something like a 50% penalty in project schedules when teams were remote

This has absolutely nothing to do with remote work. This is just pure mismanagement. You cannot half-ass remote work. It's either a company wide culture or nothing at all.

> There's also tons of non-engineering stuff that benefits from being together, onsite

Like what?

> Stray comments might lead to huge import improvements

Just because you're not co-located does not mean you're just in silence throughout the day. There are a slew of chat clients and voice applications that allow remote teams to communicate easily throughout the day.

> In my pervious company, there were always large things we'd find out when we'd have team leaders meet up. And this was a small 15 person business!

Just because you're remote doesn't mean you don't have meetings. It also doesn't mean you never meet with people in person.

> It takes a lot of directed effort to make remote work

It takes a lot of directed effort to make any company culture work. And what exactly does "work" even mean? I've seen companies that are a complete mess and they have everyone strapped to their desks. Doing remote work right takes no more effort that doing co-location right. You just have to recognize the difference.
No one takes a "How to use Unix" class to learn how to use OSX and Android. In fact, I've never seen a production database cluster running on a Nexus 5 at any of my clients.
> For example, it's typical text processing pipelines are hard to branch.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by this, but it sounds like you should use "tee" pointing at a fifo.
Sounds good although at that point it's just programming, and there are tools that are cleaner and faster and more robust than piping semi-structured strings around from a command line.

The one real benefit that can be argued is ubiquity (on *ix). Not every system has Perl, Python, or Ruby installed - or Hadoop for that matter - but there's usually a programmable shell and some variant of the standard utilities that will get something done in a pinch. If it happens to be 200x faster than some enormous framework, so much the better.
During my first 2 weeks I definitely noticed a difference in quality,
but I guess over time you get an intuition for how to combine search terms when
it comes to less common queries.
Now I prefer DDG over Google, even without all the nice shortcuts.
This is what Luna was doing (https://www.meetluna.com/) if I recall correctly, with the added bonus that it would also pay out when you read and reply to messages. So, that would incentivize attractive people to actually use the app. In theory. They seem to have failed-to-launch, unfortunately (fortunately?).
I think the reasons are pretty simple. HN is focused around tech folk & they are expected to write or use other frontends or tweak the output themselves. Also I get the feeling that no one wants to touch the working code to rewrite it. What's the incentive? It works and is lightweight. The number of people complaining is just not big enough. They probably don't have a dedicated dev because the site is that simple, and they want to keep it that way.
What do those numbers look like for Pandora?
SIMD is "single instruction, multiple data". In this case, the data are single bits. It's basically operations on bit-vectors of width 32 (or whatever the machine word width is). All the bits are treated independently. That's exactly how you'd do SIMD elsewhere.
> the Jabras allow you to walk really far away; almost the entire house I've heard

I guess it depends on the size of the house and the thickness of the walls; maybe also of the BT quality of the device it's paired to.

Anyway, I indeed have no issue going to another room in the office or in the small apartments I'm working / gaming from. After two (thin) walls between the devices, the sound quality starts to deteriorate, so I don't have very high expectations across a large house.
interesting how people are so different in what makes them productive. Your setup sounds like an organized chaos. Like my living room which has things cluttered here or there but is not actually filthy. But when it comes to my WM and technology in general I am so swamped by information that it's an ongoing struggle not having my attention hijacked.

Most of the time I'm in a single full-screen window unless I need to context switch. Some exceptions would be working on a pdf where the markdown is edited in one window and the pdf is to the right (auto-reloading when I save the markdown).

Other exceptions are running a terminal right next to my browser because I need to enter a few commands (installation instructions etc).

I used dwm, switched to i3 then stuck with sway. What I love about it is my limited screen real-estate (laptop) isn't wasted. I don't have an external monitor because I move a lot. My colleagues can't imagine working productively just on a laptop. It's perfect for me.
Wait, what? How can a patent right be applied on a one line of code that eventually is compiled down to machine code? Sounds ridicolous to me

> Customer service handles it

Customer service is not always the one actually making the decision. They might be some early-stage filter to guard against obvious mistakes/misunderstandings, but after that it can very well go into a queue where either a automation or an underpaid human handles it. That's the only reason I can think of for the various horror stories where people have been left out of pocked by PayPal despite evidence that would convince any reasonable person.

> Also why would PayPal close a buyer's account after a chargeback

It's common in "big tech" to close entire accounts in retaliation after a chargeback (I've heard of Google doing it, and maybe others) so I'm assuming PayPal would do the same. Chargebacks also cost them a fee (in addition to the disputed amount) so there is a business case for discouraging chargebacks. And when a huge chunk of your business is based on screwing people and the margins are already razor-thin, do you really want to keep customers who demonstrated their ability to fight back?
