Bug reporting should also be quick & easy for it to be effective. The Apple bug report process isn't the quickest. It doesn't help that minor bugs/usability issues like that never get corrected (from my experience) so I've personally given up.

I wish they'd repurpose the stupid "shake to undo" to report bugs instead and make it automatically start screen recording, allow you to reproduce the bug, edit the video to hide any PII and then upload that along with system information.

When looking through search results, my eyes always go straight to the total cost, which factors in the cleaning and service fees (but not the occupancy taxes and fees).

Probably unpipelined RISC designs with exclusively single-cycle instructions. The instruction decoder just consists of setting a bunch of multiplexers to the right states for that instruction.

The distinction might be whether the instruction breaks up into a sequence of discrete internal operations. Implementing this as a hardwired state machine is an optimization.

Looks like they didn't verify that Coca-Cola et al were the ones actually doing the polluting?
What Do You Think about This Seamless “Registering/Login” User Experience?
additionally - even with the best intentions (in Germany for example, we have a great deposit based system where you return bottles for recycling / reuse at your local supermarket and get the deposit back) - it turns out that recycling just does not work as it should. DW (1) recently did an expose which showed that significant amounts of plastic that's sent through the recycling process actually ends up in south east asia (many companies are now banning this) - where it ends up getting burned / dumped into the ocean etc.

If we stopped it at the source - and forced these companies to spend a fraction of their massive revenues into innovating around more sustainable alternatives (effectively just pricing in the externality that they are currently getting a free ride on). You'd end up with a much better scenario where consumers can still enjoy the products and don't even have to deal with the cognitive overload of sorting 12 different types of waste.

I think one of the biggest coups that governmentes & corporations have pulled off is to let the burden of environmentally friendliness get shifted to the end consumer. This means that it requires masses of people to first get informed, then get mobilized and then start boycotting or putting pressure on these companies to change something. Pretty wasteful cycle if you ask me, easier to price it in much earlier at the source.

Not according to my sources.

As an example of the lost Bach works, he composed a full five liturgical years of works: a cantata for each Sunday, and for each Holy Day (ten or fifteen per year), a Passion for each of Christmas and Easter. Of the five years, we have two and a fraction -- that's well over 100 works that are lost to all time.

By contrast, Beethoven never lost popularity or awareness. So far as we're aware, none of his works are lost, and there are in fact numerous "juvenalia" -- immature works, not included in the standard opus catalog, which survive.

I actually had to plan this problem into my project. I run https://buttplug.io, an open source library for controlling sex toys. Due to the context of usage for the library, a lot of our users will never want anyone to know they’re using our software, much less reporting bugs on it.

This means I have to test early and often, and rely on people who are open enough to even discuss usage in the first place in order to get bug reports. This is on top of the fact that we support over 100 pieces of hardware, of which I have maybe a third. It’s a odd position to be in.

I hope DJI responds with a firmware update preventing flight in temporary no-fly zones. Right now they respect static no fly zones, but when temporary ones get put up you can still fly inside them.

It's a real shame that large ready-to-fly drones aren't required by law to prevent arming in no-fly zones. About half of the DJI pilots I know actively prevent their firmware from being upgraded to the one that will respect static no-fly zones.

Trying to address a problem like this one by placing the responsibility squarely on end consumers seems like a mistake. There are too many of them in too many places and their behavior is harder to regulate.

Placing the cost of disposal or pollution (best that regulators can assess that) upon the producers seems at first glance to create many of the right incentives, such as improving packaging, reducing waste, increasing recycling, more effective disposal, and modifying consumer behavior in the only way that seems to be universally understood: the price of goods.
This happens anyway even in the US. As an example many may have experienced, office hours are often a couple hours earlier on the east coast versus west coast in their local time zones. Consequently, scheduling meetings across time zones becomes more complicated because a 3-hour time zone difference can become closer to a 5-hour time zone when adjusted for local office hours.
I agree with your remarks. There certainly are sites out there in need of dynamic behaviour. But that long tail has a lot of restaurant websites and such where nothing is really needed.
Organizational Theory 101 is that there are three levers of power in an organization - relationship, expert, and role in that order.

Getting anything done in an organization means building the right relationships first. Building the right relationships is the difference between being able to ask the infrastructure guys to create some VMs for you in Slack, they do it immediately and then ask you to fill out a ticket and having to fill out the ticket and wait for two weeks.

The second part of that is “pre-wiring” - convincing one of two people of your idea, taking their objections into account and improving on your idea until you can make a convincing argument to your manager. It’s a lot easier to be in a technical meeting where you already have your coworkers buy in than one where you are fighting on multiple fronts.

Once you have the relationships, you have to convince people that you know what you’re doing by having a few successful projects under your belt. It’s a lot easier to convince people once you have a track record of success.

Role power in my experience is the least effective - especially in the software industry. If you don’t have the other two, it’s way too easy for people who report to you to jump ship.

Honestly, in today’s market for software developers. If you live in any major metropolitan area in the US (I’m in Atlanta) and you keep yourself marketable jobs are a dime a dozen. The last thing I worry about is long term unemployment - this has been true for the last two decades.

It’s really hard to know who’s telling the truth on both sides. When I’m an interviewer I find this to be a big red flag. Some folks are addicted to a struggle and have an excuse for everything. I don’t mean to diminish your situation but I see it as a bad apple ruined the opportunity for you. People, including interviewers, tend to be creatures of habit.

I don’t think anyone debates that LIDAR plus cameras is “better” than cameras alone. The real question is whether it is possible without LIDAR. (AFAIK all self driving cars use cameras even when they also have LIDAR).

I'm a recent hire for one of the companies on that list. It seems to me that by allowing your company to hire from a much larger pool of candidates allows you to be more selective for talent. The amount of talent that I'm exposed to is incredible, something I'd never be able to experience in my own city.

There's a whole slew of unfamiliar problems that come with remote work - and I believe that these companies are pioneering something that will become the norm one day. Work life balance is a serious problem, as well as relationship building. It seems to me that distributed companies have a hard cap on size before the disadvantages of remote become too cumbersome. These problems require creative solutions, and it's awesome to be able to contribute to it. However, it's difficult for me to identify which problems are caused by the remote-first culture, and which problems can just be attributed to the company itself.
TL;DR: rounding up to a multiple of 2 requires an addition and an AND, but rounding down only requires the AND. So you save 1 instruction by allocating downwards, and you save 2 if you insist on checking for overflow.

But honestly, does anyone care about skipping an addition instruction? I'd rather know about the caching behavior and the author's rationale for allowing alignment per-allocation rather than per-allocator.
What is vouching on HN?
I really think remote-first still hurts workers over all, and is just taking advantage of offering relief from atrocious open-plan offices.

For example, Gitlab’s “compensation principles” [0] are horrifying to me. I could absolutely never work for an employer who openly acknowledges people who provide the same value to the company are explicitly paid less because of location, in a situation (unlike with physical offices in different locations) where there is no excuse for it.

Notably it’s not just about paying different rates to different locales. They also actively adjust your salary if you move, even though it has no effect on them at that point (they are already paying you a certain rate at that point and don’t depend on your location). And they control the definition of multiplicative factors that determine pay between locations (instead of it being a negotiation), and those multiples are often ludicrously wrong (e.g. NYC & London compared to SF).

If you are advocating for capitalism with externalities priced in using fair (by democratic vote) and absolute/equal valuation methods, that is what I am arguing for as well.

SF doesn’t have that by a long shot. That’s the actual point.

Also, I didn’t say I had a problem with cities, far from it – I have liked living in the city in the past, and I can understand why someone would want to live in a good city. But [citation needed] on cities being fundamentally and meaningfully cheaper under the externality-adjusted capitalism model.

Urbanization can increase total living costs compared to lower-density living, for example through disease spread, crime, power density and transmission requirements, high-speed waste processing requirements vs composting opportunities, food production locality, and etc.

Whether the efficiency scales balance out in favor of a particular density or not is a mystery to me. I am just not as sure as you seem to be.

Let’s find some data that shows a TCO per capita for a well-planned/well-run suburb vs a similar city. Or, do what I’m doing and get out there and mold your local environment into what you need while letting others do the same – there’s enough space and energy for all of us here and probably >10x if we fill the Earth and Mars.

P.S. While I don’t know for sure, I suspect that the answer to efficiency vs density is: it is either a wash or a small enough difference that it doesn’t matter compared to living the life you want as sustainably as possible.

The latter (only up to cent level) shouldn't really matter. Are people that cheap that their problem is they have to give "at least a cent"?

Sub-cent might matter for third world countries wanting to micropay for a western content creator, but it's more than good enough for the 4+ billion of people in developed economies.

And I'd say, relative cost-of-living considered, even someone making $100 dollars month could afford a cent payment, like a person making $3000/month can afford a $5 latte. But I don't think many $100/month populations have "how do I support a western content creator already living 20x as luxuriously as me" as their concern...

So if that was the issue, we could already solve it with cent-granularity payments....

You've made the same word-for-word comment twice in this thread. That is a bit suspicious.
Or more Wix, Squarespace, and Shopify in it.
Or maybe I just got tired of trying to explain myself.

You keep changing the topic and I keep trying to come back to my observation that requiring a corporation to "benefit society" is not actually a thing in law and would be a bad idea in any case.

If your definition of "benefit society" just means "doesn't break laws". Then I would agree with you but there really isn't any need for such indirection and expansive language about "benefiting society" in that case.

So I gathered that you were suggesting that there is some administrative hoop that a corporation must jump through to convince you that they are "benefiting society". But that language is hopelessly broad and just begging to be abused by anyone in power who doesn't like what a disfavored group is doing (even when they aren't breaking any laws).

I bet there are a lot of people who think that Fox News isn't "benefiting society" and I'll bet there are also a lot of people who think that CNN or MSNBC aren't benefiting society. Are you telling me that the majority opinion should hold here and organizations disfavored by the majority can be legislated out of existence because they don't "benefit society"?
Somehow I feel like it's almost intentional to drive the UX to a "search for everything" model.
> Javascript is used to perform the exploit. The renderer, where the vulnerable code exists (I assume), is C++.

Yes, that way my point. There is a runtime and/or VM and/or stdlib under these "memory safe" languages and these things are never fully written in memory safe languages themselves, at least as far as the current state of affairs goes. And even then, they run on insecure hardware (rowhammer and spectre anybody?).

Would using a language with better memory safety and other guarantees like Rust be better to write these things? Most certainly, as the attack surface becomes smaller and e.g. Rust would prevent a lot of programming mistakes in the first place. Would that be a complete silver bullet, tho? Nope.

So I agree with you that using a language with C++ isn't exactly "optimal" to implement these runtimes that are meant to run untrusted code. I just didn't like that the OP declared "memory safe languages like Go" to be a silver bullet.

>ASLR was never intended to protect against an attacker with such a level of control.

ASLR is not a protection. It's an additional roadblock put in place to make things harder for attackers once shit already hit the fan.

Arguing about DST vs standard time seems ridiculous to me because your longitude relative to the edge of the timezone can add/subtract an hour either way. All these subjective opinion posts about the sun being up or down in the morning/evening depend entirely on where in your timezone you live.

This map summarizes the situation: http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--pY-JErG4...

Ironically, even though Canada invented time zones, almost the entire country is in the wrong timezone save for Montreal/Ottawa.

Only people living in the white sections are actually in the middle of their timezone where standard time would be accurate.

And if you don't like the sun setting early, you could even move to one of the red sections or vice versa.

I believe the plan at the start is that bad weather will cause the vehicle to pull over and require a human driver. But that’s not really a big problem in large areas of California and Arizona where they’re starting off. And all the companies are researching bad weather driving and that feature will roll out later. Self driving cars will basically migrate north as the technology allows.

But they’re already testing in snow and rain and working on that too. I don’t think they’d really deploy to northerly areas until the tech works as well as all the rest. With enough testing experience and engineering time, they ought to be able to solve it.
