This is your mistake. It's an approximation that works well only at low speeds.

Wasmer looks interesting.

I couldn’t read much as I get an “unexpected error” as soon as I start scrolling. It does say that it’s not optimised for mobile.
Sure, but if that is your position you should go out and advocate for this better thing instead of bemoaning the efforts other people are making as misplaced.

This shows up anytime people try to make some sort of progressive improvement to society, people come out of the woodwork to complain that it's not the right solution, without doing anything (other than complaining I guess) to motivate a better solution.
There are also use cases where Unix timestamps/UTC are actually the wrong solution.
You're right about the article, I was responding to people in this thread: "broadcasting their intention [to break the law] in advance", "[admitting] that they will not adhere to the law" and so on. Those are the statements I am responding to.
The ones that McDonalds has here are fairly well implemented. Certainly preferable to dealing with the average cashier not thrilled about the job. But I haven't travelled enough to see what systems are being used in other regions of the world. It seems that what you and others are saying is that they are not all the same.
thank you for responding so elegantly in a 7+ depth argument to multiple posters each with their own critiques. This is what i read HN for. The parent node comment having to provide a rebuttal for every child lol
Same. I’m in a rent control place and I would never ever make the mistake of moving in a place that can arbitrarily increase its rent. I fee bad for people who didn’t have a choice and will probably have to move out at some point because of that :/
> Lambda School co-founder Austen Allred envisions students coming back to his coding school every eight years or so to learn new skills.

Eh... While that might be a good story to sell to his investors, most anybody worth their salt won't need to go back to a "bootcamp coding school" every 8 years to learn a new language.
How do you know that culture inside Media Lab was "completely corrupt and toxic"? From my experience, it was (is?) a super cool place and most researchers didn't have any clue what was going on with the funding. I bet there are many universities where revolts would happen if true donors and their actions were revealed. You even have whole famous universities named after robber barons.
Everything you look at is looking back in time.
Summary: "This bill does absolutely nothing to affect us. But please don't pass it, or at least let us compromise, since it would affect us so much."

Seems a little bit contradictory?
The one at mine is a completely smooth experience.
There's certain hot zones in cities where the rent can increase by much greater than 7% YoY. In those hot zones no one's wages are rising at the same rate, so that law is the only thing that prevents the people previously living there from being forced to move even if they would rather stay. Essentially, it's the policy that is in response to all the stories about retirees being forced out of a home they rented for decades or the stories about the cops and firemen sleeping in their cars because their job is a 20 hour drive from their house and they can't afford anything closer to their job.
The Pro is advertised as having significantly better battery life. If he is indeed always on the go then that will be a big plus.
And there is nothing wrong with that expectation at all.

Who knows when the next thing is coming? No one; so plan as if it isn't.
If I'm not mistaken, there's a fully functional Matrix server written in Rust already (for example): https://github.com/ruma/ruma

Implementing a protocol in Rust is one thing, the choice in protocol is another. I for one hope they choose a standard that's backed by the OSS community (not slack), so we can all have fun with Rust implementations in peace.
After taxes it's a bit under $6,900 so 40% of that is ~$2,700. Browsing Zillow/Apartments.com/Padmapper shows several thousand listings for studios under $2k and single bedrooms around $2.2-2.7k, depending on area. SF proper seems pretty tiny and the most expensive, is everyone just trying to cram in there? Do people try not to commute?

No ketchup, pickles, onions or mustard.
Sounds like McDonalds is making the same mistake the automobile companies made with their infotainment systems, cutting corners to save on hardware and just being too inexperienced on software. The infotainment systems of the past couple of years have been a huge improvement over those of the past decade so maybe McDonalds and the food service industry in general will just have to go through the same painful process the car companies did.
Only if you're using other people's work. Make your own original content and there isn't nearly as much of a problem. Who says everyone should have the right to profit off somebody else's work? especially one that's only considered good because of all the money spent on marketing it.
The couple I've seen have had bad menus (what? Options? I just want the damn thing like usual, there are options? I don't care, where the hell is the "just buy it like normal" button?) and have suffered from the same jank that every non-Apple touchscreen I've used has, somewhere on the medium-bad side of that spectrum. Feels like HTML+JS running on Android, which is very possibly exactly what it is. Missed touches, animation stutter, stuff like that. They're way worse than just ordering.

Dunno why I said DeltaV, but clearly it was inappropriate.
Nice negligible anecdote
Maybe containerd [0] is an alternative? It's being used in k3s instead of Docker.

[0]: https://containerd.io/

edit: I didn't notice that you mentioned this in your comment, my bad. Can you explain why it doesn't work for you? I'm new to the Docker-alternative scene and thought it looked pretty good at first glance.
We have observed the daemon getting into a bad state and stopping responding to container create requests, wedging our production system. I guess this kind of bug could happen with a non-daemon approach if there's shared state, but it seems less likely.

Not using any components with root privileges obviously makes things more secure.

Another benefit of not requiring a daemon or privileges is that then it should be easy to manage fully independent sets of containers. In particular a container should be able to manage its own nested containers in a straightforward way. This is painful in Docker.
Sure. In the mean time I’m not renting your place if it doesn’t have rent control. And anybody who does is insane.
AFAIK, some Rust types are checked at runtime. For example, RefCell:

"Because RefCell<T> allows mutable borrows checked at runtime, you can mutate the value inside the RefCell<T> even when the RefCell<T> is immutable."

*source https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch15-05-interior-mutability.h...

EDIT: Sorry, I don't mean 'runtime type checks' are slowing down Rust, but rather that Rust performs more general runtime safety checks (like RefCell).
It's not a case of an "original headline": this is an entirely separate article, not a regurgitation of the press release. Wolchover is a very serious writer.

It's pretty sickening to watch the (sadly predictable) HN sneering and mockery around the topic of someone's (anyone's) mental health. It's such a cruel, distorted and completely non-constructive conversation. Do you guys really not have anything more interesting to say?
It sounds like this is a poor solution for a non-problem then.
It's worth observing that signed integer overflow is undefined in C but defined in Rust, which can impose an additional cost.

I'm not being dishonest. I'm basing it on availability. The Pixel 3 I own was purchased from Google Fi for $400. The price right now is $500. Technically the Pixel 3 XL ($600) is the flagship just like the iPhone XS Max / iPhone 11 Max are the flagship. (Looks like you can't buy the XS Max direct any more, so I can't find current pricing.) The iPhone 11 Max starts at $1100. That seems like "nearly double" to me.
Things like this can make sense in the short term, but there needs to be sunset provisions to force a long term solution. I'm not really sure what that would look like though.
Why? In both cases there should be more housing. If rent control is a thing, now you have more rich people who can’t find a place and are willing to put money in building new housing.
If the effects require an accelerator the size of a small country to show up, then it's unlikely they'll be useful in anything small.

I think people have been misled by science fiction. Stories posit all sorts of interesting and exciting physics not because that's plausible, but because it makes interesting stories.
>they are now advising a default annual increase of the maximum allowed (7 percent before inflation)

Is the property management company collecting an extra commission each time a new tenant moves in? Because all this strategy is going to do is let tenants quit once the rent goes considerably above the market rate.

A much wiser strategy, IMO, would be to watch the market rates and keep the existing tenants' rate constant until the market rate climbs considerably higher (7% sounds like reasonable threshold) and then raising it to be marginally below the market, incentivizing the tenant to stay.
One thing I also find sorely lacking in Docker is the ability to run your containers with the appropriate seccomp privileges (in order to enforce Principle of Least Authority). I know this is possible with Docker, but it's not really done much in practice because of various difficulties. I wonder how difficult it would be to do that with your tool?
As a Marylander, I’m okay with this. Let California destroy itself. Better for the rest of us.
No worries! I didn't mean to imply you'd downvoted me. :)

meta: I won't mind _this_ comment being downvoted since we're so far afield from the OP, but it's worth it to me to clarify intent in responding to a friendly peer.
It will not help you find an affordable place to live, it will help those who already have existing leases hold on to them forever. Rent control does not create an abundance of housing, it just creates a constituency of people that gets a better deal than those who don't.
I was Flash developer from 2006-2010. Flash used ActionScript which is/was based on the ECMAScript standard.

Since then, I develop primarily in Javascript, based on the ECMAScript standard.

Looking back, I don't even think anyone could find the seam in my career.
Articles takes the cities with the most extreme living expenses, and tries to say those costs are representative. Some of the "big cities" are smaller than places like Houston and Dallas where you can live a middle-class lifestyle very inexpensively.
> We expect we will continue to respond to claims of misclassification in arbitration and in court as necessary, just as we do now.

Is there a disassembly to compare? I'd rather just check.
No word here or in the 8minute press release on what type of storage they're going with. Does anyone know if it's lithium or flow batteries?
Flash was one of the first tools I ever started programming for. Today I work in AI.

This article is a thinly veiled advertisement for bootcamps, spouting this nonsense:

The “learning-by-doing” approach in the Flash workers’ scenario highlights the value of coding schools and boot camps designed to teach students in-demand skills in as little as eight weeks. And whereas traditional educational environments tend to view their curriculum as having an end date (generally aligned with their students’ graduation), Lambda School co-founder Austen Allred envisions students coming back to his coding school every eight years or so to learn new skills.

No. What will give you longevity is a degree in CS. Frameworks and technologies change, but CS concepts stay consistent.

If you have a good grounding in CS, you have longevity. Couple that with a good math background, and then you have even more possibilities.

Bootcamps are rubbish in the long term. They try to lure you in with quick results from little time investment by teaching you how to hack with the hip framework of the week.

I have been there, done that, having gone to a polytechnic school where I learned Flash + web dev. I later made the switch to a university to study CS. One of the best decisions I ever made.

Don't fall for the trap of instant gratification. Learn CS (and math) with a formal education, and you will thank yourself years from now.
"Can I substitute the Artisan Grilled Chicken Sandwich for the Buttermilk Crispy Chicken Sandwich in Meal #6 if I don't get the fries?"

"Can I get a burger with two patties?"

Personally I usually just order what's on the menu but there must be lots of people asking for substitutions or modifications. That's the general public for you. I wonder how this "AI" is going to handle it.

Probably it will just pass the order to a human if it totally doesn't get it, rather than risk screwing it up too badly. Or maybe McDonald's has already figured out how much it will cost to re-do someone's meal versus having another human on the payroll.
Ask HN: How do you stay organized at work?
I am struggling with staying organized and keeping all of my tasks and todos in order at work. This has been a nagging issue for me and I'm looking for any advice that others have. We use Jira for issue/project tracking, but there's always those little side items that I constantly lose track of. I've tried to use Outlook Tasks, Slack reminders, postit notes, a notebook I carry everywhere, and countless other things but I either stop using them or just forget. Any tips are extremely welcome!
But cell phone companies never opted into being used as security authenticators for other parties.
What I don't understand is why the McDonald's mobile apps are region-locked. If I am an American and I visit Canada or Japan, why do I have to use the register or kiosk? I should be able to use mobile ordering, just like back home.
I never see them courtesy of uBlock Origin.
In general, the effect of bloat is not visible in benchmarks like these where the goal is to run something small many many times, with ample memory available, and as little else on the system adding noise to the results as possible. It's the same reason you see "Java is faster than C" benchmark results, yet everyone knows how the former actually performs in practice.

The effects of larger memory usage don't become obvious until other applications start contending for it and/or swapping happens, and it's conveniently also something that is not as easily blamed on one application "being slow", which is why it doesn't receive nearly as much attention as it should.
As someone who only orders cheese on burgers (although with the buns), it means they only want the sandwich to consist of the meat and cheese (hold all other toppings; so if it would normally come with pickles, hold those).

If I go through a typical drive-thru, I order it like this: "cheeseburger plain, with just the cheese" (varied slightly based on the fastfood chain in question). The first plain part removes all the other toppings (or plausibly all the toppings), the with cheese part confirms that you actually do want a cheeseburger and that you only want the cheese. I've found that specific order instruction to be the closest to universally working across all chains, while generating the fewest errors, after ~25 years of testing combinations.
Your article says this:

> So far, empirical evidence shows that rent control has not crippled the purpose-built rental market.

They really do not overlap at all. I don't understand why the comparison with docker and Kubernetes continues.

Running BEAM on docker in kubernetes is great, a lot is added and operations smoothed by doing so.
> with picky kids, it's basically $5/person/meal

Nit. Actually picky kids only want plain hot dogs and plain quesadillas and plain spaghetti. The ingredient cost of feeding picky children is a few cents per meal even after you add childrens' multivitamins and smoothies.

I think y'all have lost your minds on these food prices. $50 gets you two 16oz steaks (two adults can each eat steak for lunch AND dinner with that) and 15 or 20 _pounds_ of fresh vegetables easy at whole foods in the 94107 zip code according to Prime Now. And that's on top of the million servings of dry grains you can buy for a dollar. $50 every day? You're killing me.
Isn't the authentication fine now? SSL?

I have no idea how, but Docker for Mac was taking up a whopping 65GB of space in one of the cache folders in ~/Library, although I had uninstalled it months ago. I wish I had taken a screenshot, but I was honestly dumbfounded. I had used it maybe once, ever.

EDIT: It turns out I’m not making this up/an edge case, at least 940 people have run into this too: https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/371
Thanks for reporting it!

We will investigate and try to fix it ASAP :)

PS: if you could provide your device info (os and browser) it would be awesome
As long as the AI can reliably and accurately serve me a decaf coffee, I'll be satisfied.
I'm thinking more like email, ActivityPub, XMPP, or hate to say it, blockchain. There doesnt need to be an aggregator App if its a federated protocol or a shared database. A blockchain would be a central store of truth regarding ride history and reputation. Your reputation would build across access clients. If a client doesnt keep innovating, and there is demand for more features, newer ones would come along, without throwing away the database and starting over.
If the marked could bear annual 7% increases, why didn't you make them before?

What will probably happen is that you'll have a hard time filling your property after 1-2 years at the latest, and everything goes back to normal.
For sure, maybe future humans won't want to do that. The important takeaway is that they'll have the opportunity to do so if they wish.

They could even clone them back on the other end and install the preexisting mind, basically teleportation.
Lots of people here are saying they should just use a phone app.

I see it as problematic to require drivers, even those stopped at a drive through, (you don't generally put your car in park) to use their phone. There are laws against it, and they don't have exclusions for drive through ordering. I'm not even sure that a McDonalds policy that said "put it in park" would pass legal review since the car is on and you're only stopped temporarily.

There would also be an issue with keeping the orders in the proper order. 10 people in line at the drive through sending their orders through at once would make that difficult, error rates could be high.

Maybe a kiosk would work though.
Looks like an interesting project. I know the website isn't responsive, but adjusting the current meta viewport declaration would go a long way while you're working on a full solution. The minimum zoom of 1 makes it unusable in practice right now on a small mobile viewport due to the amount of panning it forces you to do.
This is simply about spreading out massive rent hikes over the course of a few years instead of a few months. It gives families time to adapt or move. The allowable increases under this law are very high.

It may not seem justified to you, but to a low income family in a rapidly gentrifying area, it means everything.

I am no legal expert, but the judge explicitly warns against reading too much into him upholding the injunction:

> I emphasize that appealing from a preliminary injunction
to obtain an appellate court’s view of the merits often leads
to “unnecessary delay to the parties and inefficient use of
judicial resources.” Sports Form, 686 F.2d at 753. These
appeals generally provide “little guidance” because “of the
limited scope of our review of the law” and “because the
fully developed factual record may be materially different
from that initially before the district court.”

The opinion does cite other 9th circuit decisions that imply that the 9th circuit believes that the CFAA does not prohibit scraping, but also explicitly notes that the CFAA is not the only relevant law.

> We note that entities that view themselves as victims of
data scraping are not without resort, even if the CFAA does
not apply: state law trespass to chattels claims may still be
available

I don't see where my claims overstep what is laid out in that opinion.

Edit: The opinion does indicate that there is a good chance that the 9th circuit will eventually rule that public scraping is not covered by the CFAA, but even if the 9th circuit Court does make that ruling, that still would not mean that scraping is legal under other laws.
Growth; markets can grow faster than 7% a year, this slows that down so people aren't losing their homes because suddenly their market gets more popular.
Having dealt with Datomic at work I really have come around to the way thinking that Datomic promotes. Having history that you can query along with having datalog and a graph database as opposed to a relational database has its benefits.
Nothing. The parent comment was arguing that because the law now says that rent couldn't increase by more than 7% they were now being advised to increase rent by that much every year (ostensibly because they are now planning to do this), and my response is that it's absurd to claim that anything in the law will change things so that you could make that sort of increase now if you couldn't already make that increase before the law existed.
The local economist has been ascribing this move to the $15 minimum wage. His take is that the only way fast food can stay profitable, with the higher minimum wages, is automation. Computers cost less than people.
Maybe more people selling property instead of collecting money forever for winning the land lottery 50 years ago it is a good thing.
Well, if not me, at very least maybe someone out there that read this will be inspired to do something about it.

Still better than not saying anything.
Seriously. It's absolute trash. I don't even want to think about how much time I've lost waiting for startup and teardown operations.
