Psychotropic or psychedelic? I very much doubt Psilocybin containing mushrooms are a problem on skid row compared to meth, heroin, and cocaine. They arent even addictive.
In short, no: while we do run dock2box regularly to rebuild VMs, internally our VM creation process is separate from this tool.

How about not reading messages while you're driving? And why do you have to write messages while in traffic? Can't this wait?
10 years ago we still had in-car GPS's, but instead of being an app it was a standalone device, I don't see how that makes anything better.

Having my car read a SMS from my wife reminding me to pick up eggs from the store on the way home hardly seems like being a zombie.

We survived without a lot of things we have now that we didn't have 10, or even 100 years ago, but that doesn't mean we were better off without them.
That's literally what "discipline a crystal oscillator" means. You measure and then correct the skew.

The crystal provides a local reference with low phase-noise, and the long-time-constant disciplining provides reasonable holdover performance.
I use Authenticator, which should also stop a SIM-swap. However, I've noticed that many services seem to require activating 2FA via text message in order to activate authenticator. Has anyone else noticed that?
You can get dumb panels if you look into the b2b offerings. These are ment to be mounted in various business settings (show commercials in the checkout line in the grocery store etc). Often they don't even have any speakers, but the normal builtin speakers are crap anyway. A chromecast or android tv box and a sound system and you have yourself a smart TV setup where each part can be upgraded separately.

The downside is the price and inconvenience (as a consumer they are not easy to find). Buying a consumer grade smart tv is usually cheaper than buying the same panel as a "panel only tv".
NAVSTAR is specifically the name of the US system.

GNSS is the generic term.

GPS could be used to mean either, and sucks as a term.

By the time I had kids, the dial interface was long gone...but if I could teach my kids to push 1,0,0, start, I'd bet I could teach them what 1:00 looked like on the dial pretty quickly.
In the last twenty years, new vehicle prices have doubled. My eyes just about roll out of my head when I see what the sticker price is for a new truck or minivan. I assume people must be leasing more than they used to, because I can't see any other way to get the payment down into a palatable $500/month range.
Thanks for reminding me about this. I kept thinking "Google Chrome on Android is unbearable because of all the ads", and your post reminded me I could do something about it. Just installed Firefox + muBlock Origin. Thanks!

Show HN: Allowcation – a simple allowance tracking app for your kids
I certainly didn't appreciate how much SIM cards are the keys to our modern lives until mine got stolen. Interestingly, my thieves took a different tack: they actually stole the physical SIM card! You might ask how this could happen: I was traveling internationally and had a friendly guy at an official kiosk in the Heathrow arrivals hall swap out my SIM card for a local SIM. He palmed my SIM and gave me back a dud without me noticing. He then shipped it back to Atlanta where collaborators used it to blindly called credit card support numbers. Some of these credit card numbers were hits — places where I had existing accounts and where they recognized my phone number. They social-engineered their way to get the CC companies to divulge more information about me — including the CC numbers themselves — allowing them to increase my credit limits and open new cards. They then went on a $40k shopping spree.

Of course I didn't notice until I came home. The dud card he gave me worked for 24 hours (I still don't understand how). And even after it stopped working, it took me quite some time to piece together everything that happened — I didn't realize that the SIM card I had wasn't mine for quite some time. Fortunately they did the equivalent of an identity theft smash-and-grab. It was relatively easy to identify and reverse, and they didn't compromise any tech 2FA services.

Interestingly Heathrow police didn't care as the "theft" was only a $5 SIM card and not a "high enough value item" to warrant investigation.

tldr: Don't let anyone ever touch your SIM cards.
I'm sorry to be unclear, the reporter interviewed the diners and the episode was a collection of conversations of the diners with their friends (used with the diner's permissions), and of the diners with the reporter. In no way was it surreptitious.
This really saddens me. My 2010 Acura has controls that I really like, almost everything is a physical button/knob that I can hit without taking my eyes off the road.
You've got to be kidding? Yes, the touchscreens on many/most of the cars out there are a horrible user experience. I've shared in that frustration. But just look to how Tesla has handled this to see what can be possible. It isn't perfect by any means but it is such an improvement to the user experience (being able to add buttons via the UI to enable new features, maps that respond quickly, etc). They still have analog controls for volume and other things. Touchscreens are here to stay. The user experience just needs to improve.
> I never understood why this was a privacy issue

e.g. if you have a rather unique SSID, and someone knows it (say you posted a screenshot of your phone's settings), these databases of access points would pretty much point them to your home address
Not true. Hyper-V supports Discrete Device Assignment [1] and therefore GPUs, USB hosts, etc.

Where you'll run into issues is on the NVIDIA side. They deliberately cripple their consumer drivers to prevent use in virtual environments to extract licensing dollars.

(Haven't tried AMD but last I remember, their cards don't support being pushed around by the IOMMU. Could be wrong.)

Modern VMWare still doesn't support Hyper-V? That's unfortunate to hear. My old version doesn't so I have to reboot anytime I want to get into my VMWare VMs, yet I'd made the (sounds to be incorrect) assumption that would be fixed in newer versions.

There are a variety of physical port blockers available as well as devices to lock cables in place. Some protrude, others are flush and require a key for removal.

If you have business policies and training in place, hopefully the additional steps of removing a lock will also provide time for adequate second thoughts to percolate through those with poor judgment. Malicious actors won't be seriously deterred, but that's a different matter.

I believe (partially anecdotally and partially from reading articles over the years) that a big part of this problem is more like "mis-education", rather than "under-education". In primary and high school education in the UK, computing is a dire situation.

It's clear that being good at using a computer is a huge asset in modern society, so why don't we gear education towards it? Programming ought to be seen as vitally important as English and Maths.
What you're alluding to here is personal preference. If the Blackberry form factor is truly the best, people would still be buying them today.

One of Steve Jobs's famous argument on this is that you can make the UI better over time on touchscreen interfaces compared to QWERTY based ones.
Yeah, I think this is the relevant bit: https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/blob/master/Documentation/...

You're wasting your lives people!

The fact that some just want some directions to where they're going, and to listen to some music along the way, hardly represents the downfall of civilization. I'll give you credit for avoiding the temptation to break out the ol' "wake up, sheeple!", though.
As a scientist you will be aware that the devil is the in the detail. SO2 contributes to aerosol formation which can either warm (through absorption of solar radiation on dark particles) or cool (from forming cloud droplets and reflecting radiation) the atmosphere. SO2 emissions at ground level are usually classified as indirect contributors of warming

The article you posted talked about SO2 in the stratosphere - where cloud formation occurs. Cruise ships typically operate at sea level.
I recently found the following bug in some python code at work

x = 12 //10

What they where apparently trying to do was to change the value of x while commenting out the old value for reference. Except in python // is integer division and not comments so x was set to 1 instead of 12.
Many of the comments here say that you can just not give your TV access to your network and you'll be OK. This may not actually be true thanks to Ethernet over HDMI(1), which could let your Roku/Fire Stick/Apple TV give your TV internet access over the HDMI cable.

"Emergency braking is part of autonomous driving, so ...?"

So, the Tesla issues involved not identifying objects in the field of regard correctly, and thus not steering appropriately. Brake systems weren't involved in either crash, IIRC.

Assisted emergency braking is much more narrowly focused than full autonomous driving. It doesn't care what the object is, if it's solid, in front of the vehicle, and in it's path, the system will brake. These days it potentially has vision, sonar, lidar and radar to provide sensory input. That's a whole lot more information than a human can access.
My wife and I started giving our kids allowance a year or so ago and it's been so frustrating. We don't generally carry cash, so having to remember to get cash out to pay the kids' allowances was tough. And when we forgot, that meant we had to track how much we owed them for the next week.

In addition to those frustrations, kids lose everything...including money. So, unless we managed the cash for them, there was a good chance some of the cash would end up lost.

For all these reasons, I built this simple allowance tracking app. It's built on Blockstack for simple, secure authentication, so my kids could actually have their own user accounts if we want them to. It also has a feature where my kids can see what their money would be worth in bitcoin if they had invested there instead of holding/spending the cash.

Let me know what you all think!
> Just now I embedded an amqp client into my app.

I have no need for one of those, I'm good building some fairly simple microservices against spark without 'lazy client initialization' or any framework features.

That's kinda the point, it's a simpler toolset for a single purpose. You may have requirements that are made simpler for you by knowing the arcane ins and outs of a feature-rich framework.

Not everyone does, and bringing in said framework to achieve something simple in the name of "Maybe, in future, I may need this" is a prime route to an overcomplex, heavyweight mess. IMHO.

Maybe you've avoided Spring-related hell, but all the java devs I know who survived that era tend to groan whenever it's mentioned.

Right. They have a few hours of holdover before things start to lose sync, and when sync degrades, the towers may stay on the air but handoffs get real rough.

They may also take themselves off the air after too long in holdover, but that's a software setting. Conceivably this could be overridden by network operators (in close cooperation with their equipment vendor) in a prolonged GPS outage where it was determined that having the towers on-air as islands without handoff would be better than nothing.
Anyone who wants to defend themselves, consider using U2F where you can and Google Advanced Protection. I just recently picked up a bluetooth security key because one is needed to log an iPhone into an account using advanced protection; there is no SMS backup loophole. The Titan key bundle comes with a bluetooth and USB key, which is enough to get started, though frankly you probably want a couple additional backup keys too.

Even these days, Nashua is fairly typical of old New England mill towns that have gentrified to some degree. This mostly translates into having maybe a couple dozen square blocks of nice restaurants and shops in a walkable downtown but things get pretty rundown and/or strip-mallish as soon as you get beyond that area.

I'm not sure how much a train would even help. In my experience, having worked with many such folks over the years, many of those commuting down from NH are headed to employers in tech and elsewhere scattered all over the greater Boston area.
I'm referring to an architecture with ESX server running the VMs. I'm not sure exactly which version. But we've tested it recently and found that using Linux Docker on Windows 10 still doesn't work.
Isn’t JavaScript a similar story within its ecosystem? A lot of the new flashy things get a lot of attention, but all the jobs are for Angular. It’s very anecdotal of course, and react does have some traction, but it’s almost all Angular.

I’ll agree with python, but around here python jobs require (and prioritise) some sort of university degree in math or statistics. There are a lot of python jobs, just not for software developers.

If you move near Copenhagen it’s much nuanced. You might even be able to find a job writing Rust there, but where I live, chances are there won’t be a single Rust job in my lifetime.
Maybe. You need to measure these things and get a feel for the actual performance impact to make informed decisions.

If people are trying to pay loans back with degrees that don't lead to good jobs, surely that's a problem, right? If you think that large amounts of people being unable to pay loans back is a problem, that is.
Personally I have seen many cases where isn't the automatability of the job that is the obstacle but the capabilities of the user as the limitation. Essentially a sufficiently technically sophisticated user would be perfectly capable of doing so but not the end user in that case and economics are against it.

As in "Yes this office job could be replaced by three shell scripts but the boss wouldn't be capable of using them and they make six figures so it is cheaper to just add a minimally skilled and paid underling than to try to teach them."

It may be maddening to see the needless extra expenses and pointless job but doing so makes some economic sense.
A "roll-over" to those capable of doing it themselves would likely be a slow process as inertia must be overcome. Since even if you have "also technically competent enough to automate it" there wouldn't be a selective pressure and jumping the gun on this issue may prove pound foolish if the replacements aren't up to snuff or worth the added expense from supply vs demand let alone politics.

Quite a few do require you to have at least two second-factor methods set up, although I think for me only one has ever insisted on setting up phone / text 2FA. If you don't have a spare phone for TOTP or a Yubikey for U2F, phone-based might be all you can use (considering a surprisingly small number of 2FA supporting sites seem to implement recovery codes).
when I first heard the nwes a couple week ago[1] I was thinking on the same line at the beginning: need to normalize per person, per mile, per year or something, it's impossible to get those number.

30ish buttons, 3 toggles, 2 twisty ends, 7 window toggles, and 5 knobs

The knobs are great - one for temperature, one for fan speed, one for outlet (crank to the right to defrost), a fourth for volume, and the fifth scrolls through a list which is less important but still better than buttons.

The toggles with twisty ends are great too. Intuitive control of lights, wipers, and cruise control, and standardized over almost every manufacturer. Window toggles, also great, I assume Tesla has them to raise and lower windows.

Buttons have a bit of a breakdown. 15 of them are for the stereo, and mostly rarely used. Each of the knobs has a button in the middle, they're very handy (turn AC/Recirculate/etc on and off). And the mirror adjust is the remaining buttons, sure it could be on a screen with the rarity with which I use it - but I prefer physical buttons.

So overall, you could cut out 15ish buttons on the media console and replace with a touch screen, and I would be quite happy. But if you took my knobs for adjusting temperature, volume, etc I would be quite unhappy. This means that most modern non-entry-level cars make me unhappy.

Before people say that there’s no problem with STEM graduates finding a job, I’ll counter that many of my coworkers 20 years ago didn’t have STEM degrees, and were previously English majors, business majors, etc. They were people with technical aptitude who realized they had picked a field of study that didn’t quite suit their financial aspirations. They were able to get an entry level IT job and move up. Now those jobs are filled by H1B.
