To go back to my previous point, would you support repealing rent-control laws because they act to “preserve neighborhoods” and discourage newcomers?

Besides, to argue that a state-wide referendum is unconstitutional is already a tall order, as you can imagine.
That’s not necessarily true. It could just mean that our exports are uncompetitive because of a dollar that trades too high, making foreign products cheap and domestic products expensive. After 30 years of a strong dollar with liberal trade agreements, there are now more structural reasons for the smaller manufacturing sector and the difficulty of ever moving expatriated production back on shore.

Openscad is a great project and I'm impressed at it's performance and small size, but it's completely unusable for non-programmers (99% of consumers of CAD products).

Almost all drafters and fabricators just want to interact with the 3D model with the mouse. Dragging and adding features.

Also 2D drawings are the main output of a CAD program, to build the designs from. Which Openscad doesn't provide.

New bindings live at different addresses (if you pass a pointer to one binding, and then make a new binding with a new value, the existing pointer will point to the old value and not the new binding's value) and bindings made in a loop iteration won't live to the next iteration.
Netflix also gradually moved to the dark side, disassociating from Internet companies alliances, and joining the MPAA and similar cartels of copyright maximalists.
> I began programming C and assembler on the VAX and the original PC. At that time, C was a reasonable approximation of the assembly code level. We didn't get into expanding C to assembly that much but the translation was reasonably clear.

Right: On the VAX, there wasn't much else for a compiler to do other than the simple, straightforwards thing, and I'm including optimizations like common subexpression elimination, dead code pruning, and constant folding as straightforwards. Maybe loop unrolling and rejuggling arithmetic to make better use of a pipeline, if the compiler was that smart.

> As far as I know, what's changed that mid-80s world and now is that a number of levels below ordinary assembler have been added.

You make good points about caches and memory protection being invisible to C, but they're invisible to application programmers, too, most of the time, and the VAX had those things as well.

Another thing that's changed is that chips have grown application-visible capabilities which C can't model. gcc transforms certain string operations into SIMD code, which vectorizes it and turns a loop into a few fast opcodes. You can't tell a C compiler to do that portably without relying on another standard. C didn't even get official, portable support for atomics until C11.

You can dance with the compiler, and insert code sequences and functions and hope the optimizer gets the hint and does the magic, but that's contrary to the spirit of a language like C, which was a fairly thin layer over assembly back in the heyday of scalar machines. I don't know any modern language which fills that role for modern scalar/vector hybrid designs.

I've been doing a lot of RGBd scanner stuff in the last few years. "Volumetric Video" as some people call it. The Intel RealSense platform has been a boon and the new Kinect with Linux SDK is cool but with some of the things I've been trying to do to build composite scenes from multiple devices or recordings I hit a wall that could be summed up as lack of virtual webcam support. I haven't hacked on OBS much but have used it quite a bit. This looks like a fantastic example to investigate for useful patterns to leverage.

Yeah there are a ton of ideas I came up with that I never acted on like faking being a resident of a cities with GOV TLDs who have business directories on that domain. There was enough of these directories providing do-follow links that it may have been worth the effort. Seemed borderline illegal so I decided not to.

Actually, there was an article on HN recently about how easy it is to procure GOV domains by pretending to be a city. The balls of that one blew me away.

Yeap. One of my roommates from college worked at HP during the Itanium development.. it was great on paper but customers didn't want it or need it.

I responded because your reading of the comment appeared uncharitable.
Many of the most expert C programmers have reported an inability to write secure C code. But you’re right that my understanding of the language is incorrect; that’s largely my point. There are so many oddities and exceptions and surprises that the language is very hard to understand correctly. The people who profess to “not have these problems” haven’t written code that has run the gauntlet of security and widespread multiplatform distribution.
Thanks I guess... We always review PRs
It's hard to find good data on what the effects are in amongst all the bro-science articles, but I believe the raise in energy usage is due to the body repairing the muscles after the weights workout, so you'd see an increase in body heat generation (although the core temperature would stay the same, peripheral circulation would go up and skin temperature would rise a bit). HIIT is just good at hitting a lot of different muscle groups hard enough in a short amount of time to maximize the effect. It's not huge but several hours of increased passive energy burn does make a difference.

Also, 10 pounds of muscle isn't a fantastic amount to put on (depending on body size), especially if it's muscle that you're re-gaining rather than building for the first time. A few months of regular moderate weights work would build that much without pushing too hard. And again, passive energy burn is "free" and helps with gradual long-term weight loss.
You could make that claim about any random article from Reddit.
You very much can exert control when it comes to policies on the local level, but you'd have to be actually civically engaged to do so.

You have to know when to buy AND when to sell. I bought Netflix in 2010, but I sold it in 2011. I bought Amazon in 2006 and sold it a few months later. When the price doubles or triples, it's hard not to take the profits and run. That's why my best returns have all come from private equity, because it's locked up and I can't sell at the first dozen or so price points I would have wanted to.

I've been a theme creator for a few decades now, and modifying how programs looked is what got me into development in the first place 30 years ago. The constant stripping of user definable visuals in modern computing is a legitimately depressing thing for me to see happen. It's just another step along the "you don't own the device or the software, we're just letting you borrow it" path.

The constant push with SAAS and cloud-based data and all the rest, just makes me think we're heading back towards a terminal/mainframe environment and soon we'll be "consuming" the Internet in the same way we consume interactive Cable TV.
> I am definitely open to hearing reasonable arguments for drinking, other than the social aspect, which was covered (poorly, imo) by this article.

Well, I can only say that drinking is a lot of fun. It probably provided me some of the best times of my life. Now, fun, happiness, pleasure, joy, are really hard to quantify and compare. In retrospective, I am under the strong impression that my life would be less fun, pleasurable and less joyful without it, though I might be just as happy (or maybe a little bit less, but still quite happy).

Some people fall pray to it from addiction, others seek its pleasures too much and end up with collateral health issues or in accidents due to impairment. I never suffered from it, so it was really just all good fun.

So ya, it's fun. That's all.

P.S.: The fun is partly due to the effects, but also a lot of it is due to the social interactions it creates, as well as being able to get into mixology and craft beers, spirits and all that and geek out on it.
Without the package lock file, your build is not repeatable. In two years (or more likely, two weeks) someone new will check out your code, it will be broken out of the box, and the poor sod will have no idea why. More than likely they will blame you.

i have meditated long and hard on this. when i was younger i gave people the benefit of the doubt - if you comfort and reassure them they make themselves vulnerable to you and become empathetic. after decades of experience i can safely say that many many people will never overcome whatever barriers they have to empathy (cowardice, jealousy, etc) and moreover i'm not jesus - i'm not responsible for everyone. given that i'm finite (time and energy) priority goes to those that are disempowered rather than those that have power and can't see their way to using it benevolently.

Yeah i think they may be being used by some VPN service to bypass netflix with or without their knowledge.

Like I use windscribe and they allow me to see netflix US, UK, etc using their windflix servers which look like proxies on a regular residential connection (it says London the tube when i connect to windflix uk for example ).

I'm sure the rest of the VPN providers are doing something similar resulting in getting the whole ISP blocked.
For about 10 years I had a consultancy that in the latter half focused on B2B. One of the biggest qualifier pitfalls was thinking we could replace Excel with anything else. There are a myriad of reasons this fails to work. I swear some of them are near voodoo.

Google Sheets is a fit in some situations but the real facts are that Excel is amazing and when someone has been running core biz logic on it for a long time; that operator is someone you need to get to know before feeling too certain.

There's money in replacing that person and fucking the whole thing up so they are stuck with a long tail of consultants. I never ran that sort of business. However on a couple painful occasions I overzealously pitched what python and psql could do to solve a problem and later had to eat crow.
Yes, definitely. The first part is very high level. It’s our opinionated perspective of the most important AWS products and how we think about them (which is not exactly how Amazon describes them).

Keep in mind that when you first start lifting you're going to be putting on muscle a lot faster than someone who has lifted for years and thus what average data tells you it will be.

It's not going to balance out the kind of fat loss an obese person dieting can be losing but if you were just a little pudgy with a completely sedentary lifestyle/no muscle previously, potentially you were just gaining muscle at a rate you lost fat.
As someone who still practises IF, I have been wondering if many of the immediate benefits (weight loss, low cholesterol, reduced inflammation markers, etc) are mostly apparent in sedentary, obese people. IF might work brilliantly for them because it's a psychologically "easy" shortcut to fixing a terrible diet.

For those of us who are already lean + good diet + high activity levels, I'm not convinced that IF really brings much to the table. I'm still doing 16:8, but only because I was eating breakfast in the morning out of habit, rather than hunger.

When I lose weight, I actually switch back to a regular (5/day) meal plan and reincorporate breakfast. That's the best way I've found to lose fat while maintaining muscle and energy levels. My biggest problem with losing weight on IF is that I have a tendency to binge during the eating window. Eating something small every 3 hours is the easiest way I've found to keep this urge in check.

"Enter Pi-hole, a simple and automated solution that works as a DNS resolver and filters on a list of known bad entries that's updated frequently (113,000 blocked entries at time of writing)."

Pi-Hole is not a resolver. It is a forwarder, with only minor differences from dnsmasq.

Chances are, the Pi-Hole user is forwarding her queries to a third party for resolution.

What the Pi-Hole developers call the "Upstream DNS Provider".

The default settings -- the number one suggested choice during setup is to forward queries to a third party DNS service operated by an online ad sales company.

What would you recommend I focus on? I personally work on compilers as part of research, so that's "focus". My current broad goal is to learn all the parts of math that I feel might wind up becoming useful for applied math in the next 50-60 years. So no arithmetic geometry, yes algebraic geometry.

One of the largest responsibilities of management is to set the culture of the business. They obviously do not have the skill set do the design, engineering, fabrication, or production. They are people people; they are paid to shake hands, make deals, and cultivate workplace culture. They are solely at fault for a toxic, because of why their jobs exist.
It's a nice idea, and I've thought along the same lines, but having spent some time away from large cities, I've come to think that it would be really boring to be tied down to one cabin in the middle of one nowhere.

There's just so much nature, and it's so varied in it's majesty. You can quickly drive to plenty of remote outdoor areas from NYC; most of New York is basically a huge forest. But you can't drive to see the Grand Canyon without making a big time commitment, much less places on other continents.

Unfortunately, even big RVs have their share of problems, and there is no community to be found on the road. I don't have any good answers, and I don't relish the thought of returning to a large city, but I'm not sure that moving away from them would be the panacea that many people seem to imagine it would be.

It was that way before the writer's strike.

The slow decline that started with The Real World had picked up pace, and the airwaves were slowly filling with reality show after reality show.

Then Lost went on the air, and nobody noticed at first, but by Season 2 it had competition from story-driven shows again. And I dunno who rushed out Lost Season 1 on DVD a few months before the second season aired, but that was an inspired decision. Tons of new viewers for Season 2, and probably for the first time ever people were binge-watching a TV show.

It ended with a whimper, but boy did it start with a bang.

This is an interesting question. I would like to see more discussion like this in the security community. Of course this question should be proceeded by the question of what actually qualifies as a secure element? Who decides it's secure? If it's just an MCU with some basic security features you have to sign an N DA to even test is that a secure element? Is it possible to create an open source secure element without an NDA required?
