Best BOFH comment this week!

Instead of suggesting modern tooling such as address sanitizer, poster suggest switching development to obscure unix os.

Poster profile even lists them working with loads of operating systems, this one included.

And still they debug memory errors like it's 1963.

Priceless!
The original IBM PC used an Intel 8088 FWIW.
How is it valuable, exactly? What's the gain?
It's even stranger than that.

These laws have to be implemented in each of the member countries, so you'd be violating the law of one of those countries.
Revenue per graphics API would be fascinating, albeit very different, investigation. It would likely also put OpenGL on desktop in a very different light given the professional products still using it.
DID EGO OFFICIAL TRY AND SCAM ME?
Do you have any info on what makes the teams concept better than those in Notion / Google Docs / Paper?

I also have the vague feeling that those tools have hard to understand team permissions, but I'm unclear on how Slite solves this in a better way. Either way, sounds interesting. Congrats on the launch!
Hmm, I wonder if they initially designed it only for 56G but they found that it worked acceptably well up to 58G after tape-out.
It's pretty simple to incentivize enforcement. Give police officers a commission for each parking ticket they levy, like Chicago does. I think incumbents just want to keep the situation the way it is which is why this is taking so long.

The EU's war on memory is concerning. It will be used as cover for their social engineers. Misinformation campaign didn't work out? Ah, delete it!
They're moving in part because CA continues to push out businesses that require unskilled labor, through a combination of taxes, minimum wage hikes, regulations, and other roadblocks. Generally it's dressed up as a Good Thing, but I'm not so sure.

CA has the highest poverty rates in the country, along with the highest taxes. SF is rich as all hell, but can't keep feces and needles from littering the sidewalks or car windows intact. Cupertino had virtue signaling signs up supporting undocumented immigrants and welcoming them to their city - but their housing policy shows only the rich of any race or creed are welcome.

All the while places like Houston are booming, with development happening everywhere, affordable housing, diverse population, and jobs.
> I could definitely foresee more homeowners blocking development of new routes/stations.

Say, you own a piece of land with a house near public transit. Since the local township can no longer forbid building an apartment building on your land, you can probably sell your land to a developer for $$$$, so you make much more money than selling just a single house.

And because you didn't want to live near public transit, with the $$$$ you can spend $$$ to buy a house that is sufficiently far away from public transit and still make a good profit in the trade.

So if you like money more than your current house, why would you oppose?
I am glad that I did not know that, it might have influenced my decision to post and reply with my opinion (an apparently naive one).
You're not talking to other sites directly.

Alice can tell you, "Here's a message from Bob. His public key is 0x1234," when Bob's public key is actually 0x5678. This opens a new avenue for trolling: publish a fake key for someone else and watch all their messages get dropped.
I have always assumed as much. Like the chaff that defensive systems on a fighter plane has. Shoot out a bunch of garbage to confuse the highly targeted offensive action.
I am loving that. Take all the people who don't have college educations and send them off to Texas, California can take the educated.
I did RTFA, but you were saying the OpenGL dream has been dead for a long time, which I took to mean pre-2014 ;)

Uou have convinced me that Metal might not be so bad... at least is all the consoles have custom APIs then it’s not as unusual as I thought.
The difference is that the ADA has standards which do not require licensure. You cannot legally require someone show you a service dog license. Where emotional support animals are protected by law (namely, housing and air transport) you also cannot require a license (though in those cases you can require a letter from a health professional stating the need).

Requiring or claiming to provide licensure for animals outside of what the laws state and require is scummy and just confuses the issue as to what is and isn't allowed by law.
I see people with lower salaries complaining and I feel bad and then I see people saying $200-300k is normal for their region and I complain.
IP addresses are deemed personally identifiable information. All web servers log these by default - before asking users for permission to do so - and are therefore, bafflingly, about to become illegal.
Iowa is a great state. The college towns and Des Moines (the capital) are as fun and forward-thinking as any other state's college towns I've been to, and cost of living is hard to beat. Ironically, in the Related links for this article, there's a story titled, "Des Moines was just named the nation's unhappiest city for workers" [0]. When I was in Iowa, DM wasn't much fun despite being the biggest city in Iowa, but I had heard it had in the past years become much more fun for young folks.

> Every big vendor and platform for 3D games and software, has their own graphics API which work better and faster than OpenGL and Vulkan.

True but console is a different beast though, it seems you are focused on that not just mobile which was always just OpenGL ES mainly since '07 until Metal entered the arena.

On consoles/custom handhelds, they have always had their own frameworks to get the most out of their custom hardware and for lock-in exclusives, to compete and advance their hardware as far as possible for the console lifeline, to sell as many games as possible as the hardware ages as game content is where they made profit. Consoles have modified versions of frameworks or their own like gcm from Sony. They do support standard ones but mostly people use the custom ones to get the most out of the hardware and the hardware makers like that.

On desktop, only two essentially in DirectX and OpenGL and was that way for a long time. Portability was fine, DX windows, OpenGL everything else but DX was the major one due to Windows desktop dominance.

On mobile, OpenGL ES on the major mobile platforms, iOS and Android, pretty much the only one since '07 until Metal.

As I mentioned in other areas, not a huge deal to game developers who aren't building their own engine but portability does matter on desktop and mobile, not just consoles which have reasons for custom rendering engines/toolkits.
C++'s standard library containers & algorithms have strict algorithmic complexity requirements & guarantees.

For example from std::vector::insert [1]:

Complexity
1-2) Constant plus linear in the distance between pos and end of the container.
3) Linear in count plus linear in the distance between pos and end of the container.
4) Linear in std::distance(first, last) plus linear in the distance between pos and end of the container.
5) Linear in ilist.size() plus linear in the distance between pos and end of the container.

That's just swapping one kind of abuse for another. It is already almost impossible to survive on minimum wage in many parts of the country.

Stated bluntly: there is nothing stopping the free market from abusing or killing people if the incentives align that way. If we decide we are better than that as a society, regulation is needed.

Can Iowans confirm Iowa Is Great? Also interesting that the bottom 10 states are ones that voted Trump in the last election. Perhaps they figured he would help bring more prosperity to them.
Because it still works. Even if a person knows the psychology hacks behind things they are still susceptible to them. In fact, people that know about them falsely believe that since they are aware of them they don't work on them.
The clone is close to the original but it sounds like it has a bit of static. What gets my mind thinking is that this can be used in conjunction with someone's real voice and have the speaker say anything you want. A perfect example is a speech where you only need to change a few phrases to change the whole meaning of the message.
YES.

Seeing an NBER paper on Hacker News of all places makes me want to cry tears of joy.

That zoning and insane levels of regulation are absolutely the causes of the housing crises in the US is the mainstream consensus among economists.

For those unfamiliar, Glaeser is widely considered the foremost urban economist, so I'm shocked to see his famous paper linked on here. He's absolutely brilliant.
Here's how Iowa ranked in each category:

- Infrastructure: 1st

- Health care: 3rd

- Opportunity: 4th

- Education: 5th

- Quality of life: 9th

- Crime: 15th

- Economy: 17th

- Fiscal stability: 21st

My gut feeling is that this report seriously undervalues Economy and Fiscal Stability categories.

After all “It’s the economy stupid”.
I don't think this is true. My parents own a house near a $1M and they much more than $3K an year in taxes.
We did and and we'll always grandfather pricing. Rewards and keeps your earliest adopters (and likely best cheer leaders) happy, whilst focus remains on delivering value to attract new Customers.
On the "centre of Earth's gravity well" bit: what is the net effect of the fact that inside a sphere, the net gravitational attraction depends on the amount, distance, and vector of the gravitational mass in question, and that whilst inside a sphere at any point beneath its surface the net gravitational attraction varies.

In the case of the Earth, it actually increases to a certain depth, then falls as one approaches the centre (or would if one could; imagine, say, the neutrino version of yourself). My first thought was that the associated time dilation would follow a similar trend, though thinking this through, I'm not certain, though I'm leaning toward your answer above as not being accurate.

I got my CS degree from the University of Iowa. Iowa City is a nice town. My parents have lived in Cedar Rapids for the past 20 years, so I've visited Iowa often.

I wouldn't be opposed to moving there, but I also have no desire to make it a target destination.

The tech landscape seems to largely be older, more conservative companies: Rockwell Collins, NCS Pearson, GoDaddy, John Deere, etc.
...you'd be able to send your kids to a better school. And your kids would be better off.

California has some of the worst public schools in the country. In a red state you could send your kid to private school or afford a house in the best school districts.
I would need my European/Asian food.....(especially great sushi and some Michelin caliber restaurants), easy beach access, good weather most of the year, and some tech meetups to go to.

Probably not for me.
While I appreciate your perspective, and I am not disagreeing, I recently took a survey amount young SH professionals asking about their life paths. Should they do what others (defined broadly) wish them to do for work and/or life or should they seek out what makes them happy and they are skilled and interested in? Overwhelmingly for the latter which surprised me. The educated younger generation is skewed more towards Western ideals I believe. You can't have the extreme western materialism without getting the personal aspirations not to be controlled.
I run a public server, http://csiph.com. There's a salt formula linked there if anyone is interested in starting their own feeder. I'd be happy to provide initial peerage.

The most novel thing about usenet is that is effectively an overlay network and completely agnostic to transport. That mattered a lot in the old days, you could run a modem pool at night for instance and download the spools. It need not be a network transport even, you could use bag files and sneaker net.

It would be kind of cool to see a blockchain integration with existing usenet. For instance a header that clients could optionally verify like a Basic Attention Token or other reputation system. That would cut down on spam significantly. Maybe even implement up and down votes and revenue sharing in the fashion of Steemit.

I'm just letting you know that the reason I'm not giving you a detailed rebuttal to that disjointed sequence of non sequiturs you wrote is not because I can't. It's simply a waste of my time.

People have been cracking secure coprocessors of the type used in payment cards, TPMs, and the like for a long time, dare I say even those which were designed to a higher level of security than Apple's. The fact that there is an entire phone attached to it doesn't make much of a difference, but the technology behind this (FIB, microprobing, etc.) has been steadily dropping in price and increasing in availability for a long time.

Yeah, my brother has to use one of those with his new iPhone and hates it because it prevents you from also charging the phone (a problem while he is using battery costly GPS). He has also had to buy like 4 now because apple cords are so awful.

If anyone at Apple reads this comment, for the love of god fix your cords. Fake Chinese dongle/cords are better than the ones you guys make which is atrocious from a company that brands itself as high quality.

My favorite of these sorts of names is the "Bloop": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloop
When Apple announced Metal, Alex St. John, one of the original creators of DirectX, posted his take on why this happens:

>At the time that DirectX was created Microsoft also largely controlled the OpenGL standard, the success of DirectX in gaming caused Microsoft to largely lose interest in OpenGL leaving it in the hands of the 3D chip OEM’s to advance as an open standard that they could use to pressure Microsoft to implement features they wanted in DirectX. Apple’s adoption of OpenGL and subsequent active participation on the ARB breathed life into OpenGL in mobile gaming because Apple’s iPhone implementation of OpenGL became the “standard” that other mobile phone and chip vendors had to emulate if they wanted to get IOS games ported to their devices. Without some form of “standard” hardware definition, OpenGL drivers and media drivers in general are often just a grab bag of broken inconsistent functionality. Of course in the absence of a “DirectX” like media API of their own design, Apple had little choice but to jump on the OpenGL bandwagon and ride it for gaming, but clearly it is not to Apple’s competitive advantage to be propping up OpenGL support in mobile for all of their competitors. Just as it did for Microsoft, creating their own proprietary gaming API’s is entirely in Apple’s strategic interest…. Why help Android siphon off their game developers by propping up OpenGL?

I think part of this lies with the fact that Stalin and especially Communism had a lot of highly placed admirers in the West. One of those was Walter Duranty, who even won a Pulitzer Prize for for his work as the Moscow Bureau Chief for the New York Times. He worked to deny and discredit those who tried to tell the world about the atrocities of Stalin.

I have a TiVo HD with a lifetime subscription as well and they are going to have to pry it from my cold dead hands. There is nothing better I've found out there for skipping commercials. That said TiVo really needs to evolve their business, I'd love to see them to shift to a cloud based DVR that works with FireTV, Chromecast etc.. I highly doubt I'll ever buy another TiVo DVR as they currently are. Every year we use it less as streaming becomes a better option.

When I was 17, I thought I was really beautiful and I wanted to be a model. By which I mean I imagined it would be easy money and I never seriously pursued it.

I imagine many people who want to be a YouTuber are kind of like that. It sounds like easy money and they aren't ever going to work that hard at learning their craft, etc. So it shouldn't be terribly surprising that a lot of them aren't doing particularly well.

On the other hand, I'm a writer and it is the same thing: A few big name stars raking in the dough and a whole lot of losers struggling to get by. And I get told all the time to go get a real job if I want a middle class income.

I don't know where people think these real jobs are. We are seeing the rise of the gig economy. There are fewer full time jobs with benefits and more gigs.

I am medically handicapped. Doing gig work has overall worked better for me than a corporate job. I hit $50k in debt while working a corporate job. I paid a lot of that off while homeless and doing freelance writing and struggling to eat.

I don't know what the answer is. Historically, middle class jobs did not just magically happen. Society designed them that way. Most were designed under the assumption that it was a man supporting a family whose wife would do the cooking, etc, so he could focus on his job. Under that model, you didn't need everyone to make a middle class income. You needed the primary breadwinner to have a good job with benefits that supported his whole family. Society was designed around a nuclear family model and jobs were designed with that in mind.

The world has changed and the nuclear family is not the default expectation. Plus regular jobs are getting scarce.

So I think we need to take it seriously that there are systemic problems here. We are allowing a system to develop with a few big winners, a lot of losers and little or no middle class.

At the same time, we need to accept that not all content is equally worthwhile. However, if we want some form of UBI, I would be much more comfortable with the idea that if you have some kind of YouTube channel or similar, you should have some kind of basic income from it than with "free money for everyone."
From an ordinary person point of view, what does it matter if it's the same megacorp or a new megacorp? If it's ATT or Comcast? So many things are part of huge conglomerates that I really don't think many of the theoretical advantages of capitalism end up manifesting.
Funny timing, I just picked up my first pair today. 24 years old.

Last 2.5 years I'd been sick, and one of the medications I had to take on and off was prednisone, an anti-inflammatory steroid. Although it was a temporary miracle for my problem, the long list of side effects are less "these things might happen" and more "pray that not all of these things happen". Amongst others, 2 side effects were general brain fog / headaches and poor vision.

I got my eyes tested 2 years ago when I was first on it and the prescription needed was so slight I was told not to bother and live with it. This time around I had the headaches again, and attributed it to the drug. After realising they weren't going away as much as I would expect whilst tapering off the drug, I got my eyes checked again and this time my eyesight was significantly worse than before. I should also mention that I was having a hard time reading anything illuminated at night, so I just assumed that was something that glasses wouldn't solve.

I picked up my glasses 2 hours ago, and whilst I have a bit of a headache adjusting to it, I can't believe how clear everything is. Feels like I have superpowered vision. I took a walk to the park and looked across the bay to a mass of houses and apartment buildings. Just looking at it gave me a headache because there was so much detail at such a far distance it felt like my brain was struggling to process it all at once.

Best of all, I can now use my computer again without headaches. I'd been putting off going to work until the headaches resolved, but was surprised that my distance glasses made everything on my computer perfectly sharp, despite only sitting ~1m away from a 34" monitor.

Interesting thing is that I am told that I may not need glasses once I am off prednisone, however I suspect I will as I can't recall seeing this clearly in years. Probably will just have to get the prescription changed in a few months.
Same here, but good luck getting it repealed. Economic self-interest is going to self-interest.
