I'm convinced that someone(s) in Santa Monica, CA's urban planning divsion has been practicing unpleasant design ruthlessly.

The first pass replaced normal bus bench seating with low blue toadstools. Once they figured out that they're terrible for people with any kind of knee problem
or more serious disability, they added a pair of poles to the sides. Useless,
uncomfortable seats, but by God, no homeless people (or regular people) can enjo
y their use.

More recently, at a rail station they added a wavy pattern to the sidewalks[1]. I heard second-hand that the texture causes disorientation and nausea, and then I experienced it myself. Now I'm convinced that it's to keep bicyclists off the sidewalk, because it makes anyone sick to look at it, but bicyclists are slightly faster and usually have to look where they're going more carefully than pedestrians.

Use Tor Browser, Protonmail(or host it yourself), DDG(you can also search in google anonymized), buy a Blackphone(https://www.kickmobiles.com/blackphone-2-eu)... calendar and so on you can import it to something self hosted.

Also use tor in your phone.

You can still use google maps and so on, unless your location REALLY MATTERS to you.

Google isn't the only problem.

Also get more people to use Tor. AFAIK, Tor now has less than 2mi people using it, if more people used it, it would be harder to find out who you are based on your location. Tell your mates, get everyone in your area to use it or live in a hip city.

It's not that impossible. If you try hard enough, you will have something that will work for 99.999% of the cases. We need more people doing that.
>Why do people sleep on benches instead of shelters?

When I was homeless in NYC, I followed the advice of a local and called 311 to see if I could get a bed. In order to use the shelter's facilities I had to check myself into drug rehab. I also wasn't allowed to work a job if I was sleeping at the shelter. I was neither drug addicted nor willing to give up the full-time temp work I had taken up to survive. This was the only option offered me by the person over the phone. I asked if there were other options, she said no.

I figured there might be private (religious?) charities but I figured I needed it less than most being a white young male. Instead, I slept on the street (about a week?) until a reddit user let me crash at their place until I got on my feet.

That's why I slept on an uncomfortable park bench in Brooklyn rather than in a shelter. NYPD left me alone anyway. I would talk to them when I woke, around 5 or 6 am.

I miss how well-rested I was then. I still remember how it felt.
I think for "small-data" programs it does work out to about an order of magnitude of overhead in Java. I have ported several small Java programs to Go and I see it (like 100MB Java vs 8MB Go). One encryption program I coded multiple versions of ran 350k C vs. 1.3MB Go vs. 16MB Java.

Programs holding GBs of data in arrays would look much closer, though, I imagine, as the overhead would be dwarfed by the data itself.

Comcast's revenue stream generates about $9 million dollars per HOUR[1]. So yes, every day they delay nets them more money than most people can comprehend. That's not to say that all of their revenue is directly tied to their set top boxes, although a huge portion of it certainly is. It nicely illustrates their monstrous incentive for preserving the status quo every minute (worth $143,000) they can.

My experience with Delimiter involved sending them a hard drive, not getting it installed in the "slot hosting" VPS I paid for, not getting any support tickets answered, then eventually getting my drive back three weeks later after complaining on a forum. Said forum then banned a Delimiter sales guy, partly for posting a barcode with my home address and other PI on it.

Who said anything about throwing stones, or pointing fingers? Nothing in my post indicates that help should be refused to individuals who make poor decisions and then try to recover from them, just that, in a free society, the onus should not be solely on the head of "a higher authority" (govt, industry, etc) to be responsible for doing so.

The world you seem to desire would make cellphone manufacturers and service providers fully liable for accidents that happen when an idiot is using their phone and gets in a car wreck.

The individual chose to get into a car, and drive somewhere, and use a cellphone, all at the same time. This despite the fact that it is made abundantly clear that doing so impairs driving ability much like alcohol would, via advertisement and public notice and safety publications, in the news, and even by state law in some cases. You cannot prevent people from doing stupid things. You can, however, make them bear the repercussions of those stupid decisions.

The world you seem to desire is one where every device and tool is covered in thick layers of bubble wrap and warning labels and dozen-pages-thick usage contracts to indemnify the manufacturer.

The world you seem to desire is one where no criminal is punished for their actions because they were just "a victim of their environment and don't know how to do anything else".

And that is something that I cannot and will not agree with, ever, on a fundamental level. Personal freedom comes with personal responsibility.

If there's a tool designed in such a way that using it in an accidentally-slightly-incorrect manner will electrocute the person using it - sure, hold the manufacturer responsible.

But if there's a tool that does exactly what it's designed to do, but someone uses it for a completely different purpose in a completely different way than it was designed to do, and it electrocutes them - that's on the user's head.

I learnt Elixir myself, on the job. It's certainly doable. Actually, if I ever had to hire developers, I wouldn't care at all about their previous language experiences. The only thing you achieve asking for n years experience in y is discouraging talented people who worked on something else.

The thing is, you choose right tech for the job and then reserve some time to bring everybody up to speed. From my own experience it is much cheaper than trying to use already know tech in ways it was not designed to work.
It's expensive but its also lot cheaper than paying someone full time that might not be needed full time. It depends.

The difference in metal vs a cloud provider is that with bare metal you can dive deeper into why things are failing beyond what you might with a cloud provider. That may or may not be important to you. It depends. With a cloud provider you often just spin up new instances and hope they land somewhere better.

If you were starting out in IT today it would absolutely make sense to learn hardware. The cloud is just somebody else's hardware.

As a former astronomer, this is correct. Even in extremely high resolution images each pixel contains many, many stars. This fact has actually been used to determine the distances to galaxies. The basic idea is that if the galaxy is nearby, then there will be fewer stars per pixel (say, only a few dozen), but if the galaxy is very far away, there will be many thousands of stars per pixel. As a result, if the galaxy is nearby, there will be a lot of variation in brightness from pixel to pixel because the Poisson fluctuations are proportionally much larger. If the galaxy is more distant, the brightness at each pixel will be more homogenous. This is called the surface brightness fluctuation technique.

There's a nice page about it here: https://ned.ipac.caltech.edu/level5/Jacoby/Jacoby9_1.html
In many cases, "what you believe is right" is worse than doing nothing. For example, injecting massive amounts of aerosols into the atmosphere to stop global warming could be worse than doing nothing.

In fact, if you make large changes to a system without deep understanding, it is likely you will cause problems. There is a software analogy here. An incremental approach, taking small steps at a time, is usually better.

Very simple. Each C allocated structure is allocated at the end of its C scope, and free'd at each end. Since the compiler knows the scope of each variable it's trivial.

Harder is of course the ffi, which doesn't generally know if the extern call allocated something. This is undecidable for the compiler and he has to trust the user/program. Other lisps have an attribute for those externally malloc'd args.

The scary thing about Google and other tech juggernauts is the single point of failure that represent for the security of one's identity. Integrating all of the tech services a person would use (social media SSO, acquisitions/mergers of smaller tech service companies) is great for convenience, but the compromising of a single account is now an event that can't just be shrugged off anymore. People now exist more and more online, and there hasn't been a parallel increase in the amount of thought put into dealing with the consequences of this shift.

>Not sure it's true universally.

I'm pretty sure it is, due to basic economics. Running shelters is not free. No one builds extra capacity that they don't expect to use. Assuming a reasonably efficient "market", new beds would get added only when there is sufficient demand to fill them. That means that there must be people without beds in order for new ones to get funded.

Also, I've never heard of anywhere with a significant population of homeless people that didn't have problems with shelter capacity. London alone has ~3500 people sleeping on the street each night. Are there really 3500 unused shelter beds in London?

Context Graph: It’s time to bring context back to the web
Just chiming in with my experience. I have several different servers for personal projects on various OVH properties. So Kimsufi, SoYouStart, and OVH proper. They have all been great. The VPS option at OVH was nice too. 100Mbit connection, several TB of bandwidth for $5 / month. Never ran into any issues with their services, and will continue to use them for everything. Much better deal than anything else I have found.
The best bang for buck I have found so far for large storage hosting is the slot hosting option from http://www.delimiter.com, where you mail in your own hard-drive and they provide you with a local VPS that can mount it in an Atlanta data center for $100/yr. I sent a 6TB drive. I then run other cheap VPS's (usually on the east coast for lower latency) that mount the drive via sshfs.

I do not feel like a language advocate. Go is great language for a number of appliances and its growing popularity shows it. I didn't have time yet to tinker with it myself, but I certainly intend to.

My point was that strength of Erlang/OTP was never in processing power/speed, but in designing the runtime so it actually solves most problems regarding distribution. Go, as far as I understand it, was created with different goal in mind - to enable fast and parallel processing. It does not make it better or worse, just different. What I'm saying is that solving garbage collection issue (and only partially, when we're at it) is not what makes in competitive in comparison to Erlang, because Erlang was designed with totally different goal in mind.
Using the information on dependent types and some inference and eliminate run-time type checks in those cases would be a nice type-checker job, e.g. for the sicp/solver.
Dunno what's made it into production or what has changed in the 2 years since I left Google, but when I was working on search algorithms this "entangled session" problem was very much a known issue and a subject of active research. You don't even need two people for it to become a problem: if you're searching for [camping sites near silicon valley] and [rust http libraries] and then try to compute a similarity metric that includes both of those lines of querying, you'll get wildly different results than if you separate them out and then compute similar sites.
For a long time in the early 2010s, Chrome had superior developer tools built-in, while Firefox needed addons like Firebug and the Web Developer Toolbar. While these addons were good, you needed to know about them and download them separately, whereas Chrome shipped with better out of the box.

It took several years for Firefox to catch up [1], and in that time, Chrome's market share exploded, and Chrome's underpinnings V8 and Webkit found new uses outside of Chrome. Furthermore, Firefox was late to Android, where the Android Browser, and later Chrome dominated.

Part of the problem is a website/webapp developed and debugged using Chrome will work with Firefox more often than not -- so some people have been cultured to not even bother checking it in Firefox. Ironically, if more things broke spectacularly, more people would test in another browser.

This PR effort is nice, but it won't reverse the tide on its own. However, once Servo is released and sees use in an embedded setting, developers will no longer be able to get by without developing (or testing) on a Mozilla engine.

I can understand Comcast's point. They're moving away from their QAM-based system, to an IP-based one, and one of the inherent assumptions of the design of the latter is that they own and control the network end-points that provide the video to the display device. Building a nation-wide multi-channel video distribution network is no small feat, and takes some non-trivial engineering work.

Then along comes the FCC, and says they don't get to own and control the network end-points anymore, thereby throwing a massive wrench into the works, and messing up the assumptions upon which their network is architected. Large complex systems don't just magically change overnight because of a governmental decree, despite how much legislators and administrators might seem to wish so. It would take a great many man-hours to rebuild their current system to comply with the update.

How many? Tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands? More? I have no idea, but I do know it ain't gonna be a small number, never mind the monetary costs. And that's just the capital investment to get compliant. Ongoing support is also going to costly. And you can be confident that Comcast would then pass those costs on to their customers in the form of higher subscription fees, and high bring-your-own-device fees (or a corresponding use-our-device discount if the FCC prohibits the former).
