Some are, but only on deceleration, to reduce wear on the alternator. It's a mechanical clutch only.

AC compressors, on the other hand, do have electrically actuated clutch pulleys.

So, if you have a car where the alternator has no clutch, you may be able to retrofit an electrically actuated one. You would have to design the part that decides when it's needed as well.

You still have to worry about other factors such as byte-swapped platforms (big- vs. little-endian).
Consider maintenance costs, vacancies, and management fees. Those can take a huge bite out of your rental income and easily drive you into the red.
Pretty neat but it seems the letters do not line up correctly. In such a small space any slight misalignment is really obvious.

I noticed the <Margin on the left is 16px, on the right is 17px. Similarly from the top is 21px and the bottom is 20px. It makes it look really off (to me).

These articles are such exquisite forms of class warfare that it approaches the sublime.

1. Upper class people seek to differentiate themselves from lower class people by status markers (like reading the guardian)

2. In the past, food was scarce, so upper class people were fat when lower class were lean, hence terms like "rubinesque beauty" or the figures of Botticelli's art.

3. Now food is common though, so the status marker is to be thin, because being thin shows you have leisure time to exercise, (you try being on your feet for 12 hours a day and then going to the gym), have money to eat the right kinds of food, and have the good form to have discipline not to eat when you need comfort (or in general need comfort).

4. but it's not enough to do it, the upper class needs their virtues reinforced.

5. Since the upper class is atheistic due to the lower class being religious (unless they are the right kind of religion, something either punishing to follow or neo-atheistic as it is), we must focus on the atheist's heaven, good health.

6. Your virtue in being thin is rewarded through lack of depression, disease, and long life! Your priestly newspaper has given you a scientific sermon.

Think about this. Why is this article in the Guardian, who I'm willing to bet already exercise, eat well, etc? Wouldn't it be in the Daily Mail instead, if the point was to convince people to exercise? That's because it's there to reinforce the idea of exercise and thinness as a status marker among the Guardian readership. The same thing happens in lower class media too, on different subjects, but the upper class usually never even gets how they are being led around.
Forget about the strength of the underlying hash. That's not how you recover passwords from hashed password databases. In reality, the way you recover passwords is to take a dictionary starting at AARDVARK and work your way to ZEBRA and every alphanumeric string in between, hashing each one and comparing it to the target password. Because MD5, SHA1, SHA2, Blake, Blake2, and SHA3 are all designed to be as fast as possible, this attack is extremely effective, and can be accelerated dramatically with GPUs.

The "password hashes" PBKDF2, bcrypt, scrypt, and Argon2 are all designed, the same way a KDF is designed, to mitigate this attack. All of them have a "work factor" that requires you to iterate the underlying hashing primitive (which might very well be SHA2) many times before arriving at the answer.

SHA1 and SHA2 aren't password hashes. That's what people here keep trying to explain. None of the well-understood flaws in MD5 and SHA1 are really relevant to the password hash setting. They're a disaster for cryptographic signature constructions, but they do not matter at all for passwords.

Nice guide, I only personally dislike the blinking animations because they don't allow me to properly stare at it, e.g. the "headless in a bar" example I would really prefer side by side, and the "Bonjour" example I'd really want to see that box all the time to properly be able to see how the lines are (mis)aligned. Fortunately second half of the article had less of those "aargh can't properly see what I want as long as I want" moments. Thanks nonetheless! :)

Assuming the author of the article spots this on HN, I'd just like to say a quick thanks for mentioning Overleaf [1] in this! It's a nice easy to read article and it reminded me that we were planning to write one along these lines but never got around to it :)

It's interesting to see how CRDT has been adopted -- we wrote our own OT implementation for Overleaf (back when we were writeLaTeX) and it's still serving us well. We took a lot of inspiration from Etherpad [2], which is still a great collaborative editor, especially for notes.

We're now going over much of our code as we work on the integration with ShareLaTeX [3], which also has a very nice real time track changes / commenting implementation [4]. This helps with the UI aspect of collaboration, which is important on top of the use of OT or CRDT to ensure no version conflicts.

Good luck in your next projects, and I look forward to reading write ups like this of those too :)

Personally, I ask my friends who complain about rent why they just don't change what they want, e.g. roommates, worse quality, further away, worse amenities, etc. and generally they say they want it all.

Well, unfortunately to have it all you have to pay. Paradoxically, those who want to live in the city will want to enjoy the amenities, which cost money. Money that will take them that much further from buying a house. Clearly, from the behavior they must not want a house that much.

I agree with you. I've always assumed these things were used to catch somebody's eye as they flipped through the pages of a newspaper or magazine, as highlights to draw the reader into the content. I haven't been able to figure out what value anybody thinks they provide online for the same reasons you point out. They are just irritating repetition.
Is anyone surprised? The fall of the private car has us contending for less and less land (near work, near transit stations, etc). Of course everyone’s housing situation moves down a few notches when we throw away the vast tracts of housing supply enabled by freeways and parking.

High rises and elevators could compensate, but so far no city is contemplating adding downtown luxury condos at anywhere near the rate it’s divesting from sprawl.
To give an example, iirc on sparc, unaligned access traps. And iirc, on older arm (before armv7), it would read at the clamped aligned address, and rotate the bits to match the unaligned address (eg if your aligned data is abcdef and you read 4 bytes at offset 2, you actually read cdab). I think you can still get this behavior on armv7 if you want.
Some thoughts.

I suspect that when a government is unable to scale its ability to govern, the statistics become dopey.

This doesn't imply a conspiracy necessarily. It could be for instance that if people stop reporting crime, that either the crimes are not occurring or that people's faith in the government to provide effective policing is undermined.

This makes a government's statistic's office an unreliable narrator even if every person is not corrupted and competant at their job.

Semi-related: I feel a faint thrill of unease at this reasoning because of the broader notion - that any society going into reverse wouldn't be sensible to what was happening: things would just gradually get weirder. Nobody would know why. A society suffering from Alzheimer's disease. It would just get worse with the ability of society to possess executive function dropping off at a similar rate to the ability to physically function. Eventually people would be looking upon the ruin wondering what the fuck happened.

Second thought.

Although no expert on SA's economic infrastructure I do know one thing which is at odds with your portrayal. Escom is the almost exclusive provider of electric power, still owned by the SA state IIRC. It has not added any electrical generation capacity to the grid since Apartheid. Their facilities are also badly run down.

How can you claim then, that more South Africans have access to electricity? Were white people hoarding all the electricity and now it is more evenly distributed? It seems more likely that more people would have obtained access in name only.

> quality of life has gotten materially better for the vast majority of people (coming off a low base), but worse, or stagnated for those of us SA'ns well-off enough to frequent HN.

I concede it is possible I have obtained a biased version of reality from those South Africans capable of net access.

I'd suspect though that most right wing South Africans would have left 20 years ago, so the people left in SA must be the more Liberal and Left of center portion of the population, or those unable to leave. If this is true, and we believe that political character is mostly hereditary (I do), then the bias may lie in the opposite direction.

That most media sources bias would be in that same direction nearly goes without saying. Western media trumpeted a great victory after Apartheid after all.

Final thought:

For what criteria would you concede being mistaken? Mine is simple: if South Africa experiences significant increases in real wages and life expectancy goes up, then it is successful.

I put to you that since AIDs should be fatal to those without access to expensive drugs, and infant mortality likely is dropping as you said you should expect an uptick in life expectancy over the next few decades.

Were that not to occur, then something is wrong.

I know some people believe the tentacles of the former regime have gotten stronger over time but this seems conspiratorial to me and I've never heard a fleshed out explanation for why that ought to be so.

In the long run, it's pretty difficult to convince a business that something makes money if the money doesn't actually show up.

1. In the long run, everyone involved has moved on to other positions.

2. If the money doesn't show up, that just means you're doing it wrong. Like all the various software methodologies that are supposed to increase productivity or reduce bugs.

3. "Half of money spent on marketing is wasted, it's just impossible to know which half." The real world is rarely simple enough to give the kind of clear results you'd get from a proper well-designed experiment.

Very common.

However, if you want to stay and it’s just about money or title I would suggest talking to your director of recruiting or engineering manager. In my experience, chatting with them and being honest saying like “I love the company, but I’ve gotten some verbal offers/interest from company X, Y, X and the package they’re offering + the challenges they want me to solve are very intriguing. I’m loyal, so I haven’t taken any interviews as I really want to solve challenges here but this looks like a great opportunity. What can we do to make my current role as competitive that these ones?”

You have to be willing to leave though, as they might just say nope and that’s the end of it.

I used that same tactic, along with a proposal of what I wanted to do/be paid, and got a hefty increase.

It costs a lot to find developers, then to hire good ones. It can be $5-20k + the domain knowledge you have so it’s not cheap to replace a good developer.
The difference is that with average appreciation rates in California, when they sell they get all of their money back (minus fees, of course). You? Well, you had a place to stay.

As long as appreciation + inflation over the period you stay in a house you buy is greater than your interest rate, buying a house is effectively free (minus the downpayment). People bring up maintenance, however this is already taken into account with rental price increases, vs. a fixed 30 year mortgage. Maintenance is an overplayed expense, honestly.

EDIT:

I can't reply to the children comments, but I just want to say that the situation mention is absurd.

1. 2.7M worth of 1985 S.F. property would be entire neighborhoods and give you more than 6%. Forget houses, 2.7M in 1985 would buy you acres of prime real estate.

2. Even if it did not, it's not necessary to put down 20% on a house.

3. Investing and purchasing a house are not mutually exclusive strategies.

4. Overall, over 40 years buying will always be better.

I tend to agree they are healthy and likely natural. There are people who dispute both (google "long distance running unnatural" or "long distance running unhealthy'). Our "natural" behaviors tend to be "just-so" stories, rather than rigorously proven benefits.

The point is, for many things, we aren't sure if they are natural, and many things we take as natural and healthy ("Three square meals a day!") may not be

There's also a code base for GHC based on this work called Subhask. It's technically Haskell but replaces so much of the functor/monad hierarchy that it's effectively a different language.

Great graphics but they don't even begin to convey the sheer complexity of what happens underneath the pavement. For starters, there is rather a lot of archaeology missing.

Any reasonably old town or city is built on the strata of its past. Terry Pratchett spelt it out in several of his books rather better than I can, so feel free to investigate that.

That said, I defy anyone not to be a bit beguiled by the pictures in the OP.
Here's a well run meta analysis.

> Exercise is moderately more effective than no therapy for reducing symptoms of depression.

[...]

> The reviewers also note that when only high-quality studies were included, the difference between exercise and no therapy is less conclusive.

[...]

> The evidence about whether exercise for depression improves quality of life is inconclusive.

Since depression is a potentially fatal illness it's important to stick to evidence based treatments.
Hmm, it's above the median, it is well off. But yes, it isn't well off enough to be sheltered from the effects of the great recession, I agree.

When you start comparing them the differences are obvious and significant. The most important one is that US college admissions weighting is happening in a transparent way, and it was and is subject to intense debate, discussion, and quasi-democratic processes.
The classic F250 was very solidly built. I have a 1985 Ford Bronco, which is an F250 chassis with a different body and was built to comply with the 5MPH bumper standard in effect for a few years. It was once rear-ended while stopped by a SamTrans passenger van. The SamTrans van front end crumpled properly, leaving its nose on the pavement. The Bronco had a bent trailer connector and a broken license plate lamp housing.

Less desirable areas always have higher cap rates. Most investors are NOT looking to make money on the cap rate though. If you're seriously investing in real estate you're looking into development projects, re-zoning, etc. You're buying because you know the local government has a 10 year plan to revitalize that part of the city or some other strategic bet.

Yes, there is definitely a significant tradeoff here. If you're recording something like Exchange Server having true multi-core execution is a big deal. If you're recording a web browser it's not as important, because most things are still gated on the UI thread. Hopefully y'all can get the constant factor overhead for recording down further over time.

With rr and Firefox we found that with sufficiently pathological scheduling we can eventually tease out many races and other bad thread interactions. This became rr's "chaos mode". I think the biggest drawback of not having true multi-core support in rr today is simply the performance hit that a parallel program will take during recording.
The issue here is the following:

Crowfunding implies that you don't have enough money to start making and holding inventory for $something. And $something is usually small, under some hundred dollar device that the markets haven't figured out yet.

Like, the recent RISC cpu board - its new, novel, and really neat. But to make them costs a bit per board. $25 each, which in lots of 1000, is up to $25k capital. But the design and idea is awesome, and lots of others agree. So people put money in, and take a bit of risk, to see that this is made, and they get it, and prove there is a market to continue.

When big companies do this, they have plenty of capital and ability. The risk they're taking is that if the "market bears it". And using crowdfunding platforms, they also shunt the risk almost completely off since those platforms offer pretty much nothing in terms of guarantees.

Big companies using crowdfunding also short-circuits the idea for these - which is that big companies ignore many market segments because of their size. In the short and long of it, they are bad actors.

Read my previous comment history and tslug's comment about how capitalism reduces an infinite amount of dimensions of ethics, value, and liability down to a single scalar : money.

Of course bad actors (read: big companies) are going to hack and use it ways that aren't intended. They have no ethics(legally required, except for benefit corps), only governmental fines which are some percent of the damages they cause.
My bet it mostly works for third world countries where a few thousand dollars a year is average pay.

If you are in an apartment with rent control it really changes the rent/buy equation.

I’ve lived in a two bedroom rent controlled apartment in San Francisco for the last 7 years. I pay significantly below market rate for rent. I also have enough to afford a down payment on a house here.

Their is no incentive for me to purchase a house unless I lose my rent controlled apartment and even then I probably wouldn’t buy. I know many of my peers who are in similar situations. I’d say the same is true of NYC.
"Indoor air pollution, the degradation of indoor air quality by harmful chemicals and other materials, can be up to 10 times worse than outdoor air pollution."
You can't count on that appreciation going up forever, though. Once the number of buyers or wealth of buyers declines, home prices will too. I look at a lot of the houses here and see Detroit in 50 years.

I moved here in 2009 and there was a big drop in house prices then, enough that everyone who bought in the boom years of 2004-2007 went underwater and many were foreclosed upon. Yes, I'm kicking myself for not buying then - though honestly, the money was in Google stock options instead and Google stock has gone up a lot more than Silicon Valley housing prices, so I probably still ended up ahead.
Mr Musk may have set the easel but the big picture is being drawn regardless of Tesla.
