> Though I’d also like to point out that whether the policies are liberal or not is not very important to me, they are just natural reactions people will have… Maybe it is fair. Maybe it isn’t

In my opinion, a liberal society with progressive taxation (including the property tax) tends to provide more opportunities for those who are born without assets than a society that overly protects the privileges of feudal estates (“passing on a home to your kids”), and would be a better society to live in behind a veil of ignorance.

> With respect to rent, I’m not sure. Maybe it makes more sense to tax rental income than the property

The problems with the income tax on rent are that 1) it penalizes renting out land while rewarding speculators who leave land vacant, and 2) it punishes renters who bear a higher burden than owner-occupiers who do not pay tax on the imputed rent (incidentally, the fact that imputed rent is excluded is basically a mistake of the original Form 1040; see Lawrence Zelenak, “The Early Income Tax and the Imputed Rental Income of Homeowners” https://doi.org/10.1017/9781108377157.008). The property tax is a fairer and less distortionary tax than an income tax on rent.

From a Bay Area resident to a Great Lakes resident, I hope people there heed the cautionary tale that is the Bay Area: maintaining the residential housing stock almost unchanged despite strong economic growth and agglomeration effects, and protecting property owners by discriminating against later generations, is an absolute disaster for lower income and even middle income households.
TikTok raises questions about geopolitics of data and internet incumbents
I think the previous posters point is to consider what is contained in all the other documents created by facebook that weren't leaked. Potentially impossible in practice, but worth considering what could be in those documents that would change your position.

Unless the parent made a typo, the Samsung 860 is a SATA over m.2 drive, so it's nowhere near as fast as a PCI NVME drive.

I have a Samsung 970 EVO and I spend most of my time compiling with g++. Copying large files is nice but overall I find the disk cache in Linux mostly makes the drive performance irrelevant for compiling if you have enough RAM.

Also be aware that if you have an older motherboard with PCI-E 2.0, you'll be limited to 1GB/sec transfer rates anyways.
Static analysis should help with this. Basically it should identify every call site where I/O happens (and other syscalls), and then you have to check them that they are invoked with the right async/nonblocking dance.

This is basically a code audit problem.

Of course something like taint analysis could also work. Every such callsite should be counted as tainted unless it gets wrapped with something that's whitelisted (or uses the right marker type wrapper).

Even effects as types can't help much, because the basic interfere to the kernels (Linux, WinNT, etc.) are not typesafe, and as long as the language provides FFI/syscall interfaces you have to audit/trust the codebase/ecosystem.
Ok. As you can tell, I'm not really a part of the demoscene, merely an admirer from the outside.
20 years ago, it took me only around 10 minutes on a single-core 32-bit CPU, with 1/1024th the RAM, and spinning rust for storage. How is it not even twice as fast today?

The covering up of modern pedophile practices inside the catholic church is part of what it is not what it was. Also they have enormous amounts of money, in other words practice none of the material detachment they claim to follow.
The success of "indoctrination" is highly variable. There are heaps of people out there who have rejected the religion of their parents.

I remember when I was a teenager and I started doubting my mother's Catholicism. I started reading philosophy books and trying to have arguments with her about the existence of God. She was totally unable to engage, she had zero interest in rational arguments for and against religion, she never approached religion with a critical eye, to her it was just "I believed what I was told, why won't you?". Not an approach likely to win over a sceptical teenager.

I think the assumption is if they are "at your door" they probably know you don't have it.
I think it might depend a lot on the compiler and codebase you use. I got myself a 3900x, and for compiling Rust code it's actually not that much of a speed-up as expected. A lot of things are done in serial fashion - e.g. compiling single crates and linking. The average utilization during compiling a large project was maybe between 40 and 60%.

When compiling LVVM however all cores where churning along at 100% utilization, so I expect a big speed-up there.
Raspberry Pis haven't quite got there yet but I'm hoping the next iteration will have an NVME or SATA implementation. Although to be honest it doesn't have to be the Pi. Any small board that'll run Linux, has at least gigabit ethernet and a fast path to disk will do. At that point it'll be possible to make a ceph cluster with one Pi per disk.
I think above poster may be right but in a sense that I do not prefer. E.g. most of these Electron based stuff looks like rapid prototypes and it made billions for companies like Slack etc.

Using the ASRock A300 today and already pretty happy with it (small, quiet, reasonable cost, gets the work done), though of course agree the next APUs should be a noticeable step up.

It'd've been nice if ASRock's micro-STX formfactor had taken off and gotten an AM4 variation (http://www.asrock.com/nettop/Intel/DeskMini%20GTXRX/index.as... ). It's a mini-tower bigger than NUC or the A300 but smaller than mini-ITX. Compared to mini-ITX, it takes an MXM GPU instead of having a full-sized PCI slot and uses an external brick PSU. The extra benefit on the AM4 side would've been that even a weak dGPU allows using non-APU chips, at least up to the supported TDP.
Im certainly living in a bubble, but I've always had the option through my 401k provider to adjust my allocations among a very broad range of options.

The TC article says this is the cost if you want to post a conversation starter more frequently than once every 8 hours, or for other advanced features. That sounds like a power-user feature to me (I post very infrequently on social media).

It does seem that the election cycle is comprised of 1) promises, 2) elected based on promises, 3) failure to achieve promises, 4) kicked out of office because the other candidate is promising us stuff we want and we believe he will deliver.
If someone says it's too complex, they may not be in possession of 100% of the facts; if the code is actually too complex, the author will probably work that out when asked to explain.

Consider a PR using mutexes instead of channels in a go project. Is the code in the hot path, and has it been benchmarked? How many mutexes are there, and are they hidden from external callers? Is the PR implementing an existing algorithm, or an algorithm with some desired behaviour which would be more difficult with channels? Which way is consistent with the rest of the codebase?

This is not an adversarial encounter between a defender of the codebase and a filthy peasant seeking to corrupt all that is pure and good, it's two programmers trying to solve a problem, and neither is likely to have 100% of the available information, so you should talk to each other and work out what's going on. Assuming that you're right will bias you towards your existing opinion, which will cause worse code to make it to production.

>Yes, it has evolutionary advantages, just like placebos have advantages

The simile being that the various reglious Gods are also not real?

That's irrelevant, because religion, as a human practice, and the actions, practices, decisions taken based on them are actually existing and actually modifying the world. So that would be more like a placebo that made you do X (e.g. go on a diet) and you see effects from that. In that case, it's not a placebo anymore.

> the number of Saints who practiced heroic virtue is far greater in Catholicism than any other form of religion or lack

Such as Mother Teresa, who allowed people to die in horrible conditions in hospices where patients were given insufficient food and no painkillers because "suffering makes you closer to god," and then went to a costly, fancy facility and took painkillers herself when it was her time to die.

>There's also countless medically and scientifically verified miracles.

This is absurd. Just because something happens that can't be fully explained by science with current knowledge and technology does not make it a religious miracle. Also, pretending that is true, how would that be evidence of you belonging to a denomination that is "real Christianity." Perhaps it was one of the other countless religions that try to falsely attribute things they don't understand to 'miracles'

>it's the only philosophy that truly lines up with real life experience

Satanism truly lines up with my real life experiences. Is that evidence that that is the true or real religion?

>But this is the only one that fully satisfied my intellectual mind without having to give up intellectual integrity.

You just said that you believe that there are medically and scientifically verified miracles, so I'd say this statement is false. How do you feel about dinosaurs? How old do you think the earth is?

>And finally, it's the only philosophy or religion that has ever fixed me

This I can understand and respect. IMO the rest of what you said is mostly brainwashing/indoctrination.

> The technical viability and utility of beaming high speed, low-latency broadband internet directly into the cockpits of military aircraft is being tested under a program called Global Lightning. SpaceX has engaged the initiative and was awarded $29M to pursue development and testing, far more than any other contract recipient. In October 2019, SpaceX and the USAF began publicly discussing the latest results of that effort to test Starlink’s capabilities in the realm of in-flight connectivity. As reported by SpaceNews, SpaceX COO Gwynne Shotwell revealed that Starlink had successfully demonstrated a data link to the cockpit of a military aircraft with a bandwidth of 610 megabits per second (Mbps), equivalent to a gigabyte ever ~13 seconds.

> Up next, the USAF has plans to install Starlink terminals and test connectivity with an AC-130 gunship and a KC-135 tanker aircraft.

Iridium was recently awarded a $700 million contract for 7 years of data services by the DoD [1]. That is Starlink's opportunity.

That sounds like an interesting proposal but I don't know why we'd want to encourage people to sell their investments in companies. Long term investments in businesses help the economy grow.

On the spectrum of best to worst way to do code reviews - pair programming is the best. Writing comments, no matter how respectful, back and forth is the worst.

When I do code reviews I split the difference and "pair code review".

My preferred method:

I start by realizing the author has had more time to really think it through than I did, give them the benefit of the doubt, and realize I have some faulty assumptions up front (the classic "Building twitter can't be that hard!" type assumptions we see a lot on HN).

Then I read through the code on my own but don't post any comments, or only post "uncontroversial comments" (spelling, forgot to scope a query, etc)

Then it is time to pair. I start a screen share/video call with the author and let the author take the lead and walk me through it. They tend to find most issues on their own just by talking it out (rubber duck code reviews). Usually the author posts comments on the PR while doing this, not me. When I see a problem I can guide them to the problem with a few prompts and we can discuss it and resolve it right there, without any back and forth in pr comments.

Only after doing all this would I consider asking the author to make major changes or re-dos.

Sometimes I'm in a hurry and I don't do all this, and it often leads to hurt feels, pr flame wars, etc.

As a preliminary step to any regulatory approval Tesla should release every byte of data from their tests so we can analyze the scenarios and events that the software has dealt with, so we can second-guess them. I seem to remember a common criticism of Tesla is that it's kinda shitty to work there and I don't think the best work comes out of an environment like that.

My personal, bitter, experience is that patent holders always view their claims as the sole reason for the success of a given product (that they target for licensing or litigation or both). They ignore the years of trials, failures, risks taken, and other intellectual property that go into a product. So you end up with the absurd scenario of a group of patent holders each demanding a 1% royalty on the total revenues (not profits) of a product, well after the product has launched and the market established. The product developer can then either succumb to the litigation or succumb to the market forces, but it's not going to continue as a viable business if you're expected to pay out over 100% of the revenues in licensing schemes.

Potential licensees are not taking your calls or messages because by even acknowledging that you have a patent they open themselves up to litigation, regardless of the actual value to their product.

As a developer I've been reprimanded both for reviewing existing patents relevant to an area I was working in, and for not reviewing existing patents for how they may impact something I've launched. On balance, the penalty was far worse for reviewing patents that may cover something I was working on (there is no way to compel a patent holder to license a patent, so the company decided to kill the product instead of taking on the potential liability).

Everyone wants to skirt around litigation because it's cheaper, that's all.

it's interpreted on first run. I'm pretty sure most JS engines, JSCore, SpiderMonkey, and V8 all JIT that code. And while JS was built for browsers, ever since the beginning, there's been server-side implementations. Most currently, Node and Deno are leading the pack. (But RhinoJS and GraalVM do exist)

Arxiv.org Is Down
In the original cloudflare posting, they said this - "As we have explained previously, patent trolls benefit from a problematic incentive structure that allows them to take vague or abstract patents that they have no intention of developing and assert them as broadly as possible."

It seems to me that the real problem is patents being issues for "vague and abstract" things in the first place. You're not even supposed to be able to patent a mere idea anyway. It is supposed to be something specific and well-defined (and also usually pretty narrow). The patent office sounds like the real source of the problem, not the system/structure surrounding the legality of patent application and ownership.
I think RDS has some very strong pros:

- not so bad pricing
- good defaults
- no need to worry regarding the backups and easy disaster recovery
- some monitoring out of the box
- support TLS with a valid cert out of the box
- easy replication

I'm not an ops so not having to worry about the operational aspects of our datastore was great.

Here are some pain-points we have, I'm probably forgetting some but those were really painful:

- You don't have a superadmin access, we had several issues where some tables, sequences or objects where associated with a user we wanted to delete and this was really hard, I think we were supposed to change the owner of each objects one by one. [0] shows the issue. In the end, we solved it by dumping the database, deleting the user, recreating the database. Thankfully, this wasn't in prod.

- Many extensions cannot be installed, for example Timescale. It's a bit sad having PostgreSQL and not being able to take full advantage of it.

What I regret about those is that there is nothing you can do, for the first point I looked everywhere and many have this issue but there is nothing you can do to solve it easily, there is posts both on StackOverflow and PostgreSQL mailing list but no easy solution, you have to track one by one the object whose owner you want to delete and reassign them. For the second, it means you can't use many useful extensions like Timescale or anything not yet released.

If there was some AMI with PostgreSQL already installed and correctly configured on which we could just connect an EBS, we could migrate very easily.
