when are they releasing the perl cgi server?
The weekend project was recompiling the kernel and adding missing wifi drivers. By the end of the huge yak shave (just to use an external wifi antenna instead of onboard wifi of pi4) I was so relieved to see the device boot and have the wlan get an address.
No, this has nothing to do with what they said and everything to do with should anyone care that they said it. If a murderer says "don't murder", that is obviously true. But our response should be 'lol, who are you to inform my ethics or debate with me?'
Take the sadomasochism one step further; do FPGA programming, learn the joys of properly enumerated case statements (or the hell of finding what one is blowing up your flip-flop/latch diagram).
>Surely there are hundreds, maybe thousands, of people every day who need to access their iCloud backups who do not remember their password. The fact that Apple can help them is a benefit to those users.

Wait, so how does this work right now? "Hey I promise I'm so-and-so, here's a totally-not-doctored scan of my passport, can you go ahead and send me literally every conversation, photo, calendar event, note and file I've downloaded since I've been in the Apple ecosystem? Thanks"

That's terrifying.
Terry Jones wrote the novelization (and voiced the audiobook of that novelization) of the videogame Starship Titanic. That novelization and its audiobook are two of the best things about the game Starship Titanic. The game is more associated generally with Douglas Adams, but the novelization was entirely Terry Jones. Worth a read or a listen if you get a chance, whether or not you have played or have any interest in playing the game.

(The game is a weird relic of a Myst clone that wanted to be a Parser IF game and had delusions/experiments of using early chat bot AI/ML that mostly fall flat.)

(The game was published through traditional book publisher Simon & Schuster, and requiring that novelization was probably the smartest thing they did. I will forever recommend the book.)
Because it's a nightmare with ridiculous missing hunks, like the fact that you can't put anything but primitive types in a Set usefully. Why would you use it to teach?
My point is - and it is sad that this needs elaborating - that what works well for physics and maths problems does not necessarily work well for societal problems.

Changing a company from the inside is something that can only be done by those that are on the inside, hence my qualification that you should only join those companies that you can still stomach and then push as hard as you can in the right direction, rather than to join the very worst organization that you can find in the world, and one that you - hopefully - can not stomach.
It seems usa telco is many Time worse than the worst period in France. Not that i don't appreciate free policies.
I'm not at all familiar with this space, but I'm a bit surprised the kernel isn't wrapping the I2C transmission and helping to work around clock stretching issues anyway. Can someone who's more familiar with this implementation weigh in? It seems like that'd be the primary feature of writing to the /dev/i2c* device instead of manually bit-banging the GPIO pins from userland.
If I'm planning to live in a home forever, the short term price fluctuations of it are hardly relevant - it does nothing but inform me about the past (I got a great deal or bad deal when I bought.. in hindsight). They are relevant to a renter.
I see your point regarding spaces in names. Suppose I could use FILENAME. But I think my point was made.
No, don't do it. We need more diversity...and security holes
That seems like a good demonstration of what the framework can do
Databases that involve more than X users need to be regulated.No big database should be deployed in public before being vetted on whether it is secured properly. I am tired of reading every week for breaches of personal data and passwords saved in plain text. If no company can secure our data voluntarily then we should use the law to force them to at least meet a bare minimum of standards.
- It's the ugliest truck I've ever seen (you can argue that's subjective, sure, but that's my opinion and you asked). I hate the asthetic. It looks like a vehicle from a video game in the N64 era.

- The sloped sides of the bed make it impractical for loading stuff in/out.

- Have to go to the most expensive tri-motor option to get the most range. Towing capacity on dual-motor is also lower than I would like.

- Won't ever see production in its current form anyway because certain features aren't legal/probably never will be. Crumple zones exist for a reason - it's not a good idea to send everyone out there on public roads in a tank with a regular driver license.

- Tesla also compares it to other 1/2 Ton pickups (F-150, Silverado 1500, etc) but it's almost certainly in the next class up, the 3/4 Ton F-250, 2500, etc based on its weight, size, and price. When you compare it to those vehicles the capabilities are much less impressive.

I think it’s because there’s debate about the ethics of these companies that they come up in these conversations. I don’t feel like I need to say “don’t work at Palantir” - if you build surveillance tech at Palantir then our politics are so incompatible that I don’t think I can convince you. But plenty of my friends do decide to work at Google - when for me, Google has crossed the line and I won’t work there
aha, this makes sense. thank you!
> What are we really expecting here? Perfection?

No, I don't expect perfection. However, I do expect very careful implementation of access management for very large databases containing lots of PII and other sensitive customer information. Things like huge databases being accessible without credentials shouldn't require perfection on the part of some human. That sort of stuff should be continuously audited in an automated fashion.

But the software industry is quite bad, as a whole, so even the relatively competent actors make surprising, high-impact mistakes.

Maybe it's because the stakes are relatively low (c.f., bridge collapsing vs. PII leak) and the competition relatively fierce? Maybe software engineering is still very young and moving quickly?

In any case, I think it's totally reasonable to hold the opinion that MSFT is doing things pretty well relative to the rest of the industry and also that the industry as a whole is doing a pretty poor job.

IDK, for me the story has to be one of the following:

1. MSFT made a huge and inexcusable mistake, so maybe there's something systemically wrong with MSFT; or,

2. MSFT is very competent, and even very competent people are making very big mistakes, so maybe there's something systemically wrong with the entire industry.
I'm not the author, just agree with the basic argument of the article, if maybe not every detail in it.

The thing is just the incredible ease of use. The easy with which you can join a server and then drop into any text or voice chat you feel like.

There are probably programms that technically replicate the feature set, but I haven't used anything that feels as effortless as discord does. And I can't even pinpoint why exactly that is.
So what are all the complaints about?
Every company is to more or lesser degree unethical. I've yet to come across a company that was 100% good. So you will always be making this trade-off, I'm asking for it to be a conscious one and to then push in the right direction from where it has the most effect.
It was easy for me, no context switching. I assume basic use of grep and awk shouldn't be too much of a stretch for most Linux savvy engineers.

Talking about reactor waste with an image of 55 gallon steel drums with the radiation trefoil on them... Sheer ignorant incompetence.

"Near-infinite" power source from decay of Carbon 14. In some low power applications this would be close enough to eternal as makes no difference, but calling it a "near-infinite" source of power in general is pretty wildly exaggerated.
My definition of an investment does not require that the investment return be liquid.

The stock is still generating value. The house is not generating value unless you go out of your way to rent part or all of it.

You could just as easily rent out bicycles or hammers, but no one would go so far out of their way to class a bicycle or a hammer as an investment.
Assuming that surveillance works (and I'm not really sure it works well) then the alternative is terrorism and crime. I agree we need some level of surveillance, but the question is at what point do the risks of the surveillance (suppression of democracy / dissent, self-censorship, loss of privacy / liberty, concentration of rich data for misuse by bad actors, etc) outweigh the risks of terrorism and crime? Just because we can bring terrorism and crime to zero with max surveillance, doesn't mean that it's in the best interest of society to enable such a system.

Personally, I'm willing to accept a level of risk from terrorism and crime if it means that I get to live my life the way I want to without being constantly monitored by government.

Regarding checks and balances, it's extremely hard to have robust authorization when the group calibrating and performing the authorizations is the same group or adjacent to the group who wants to look at the data. To do it well you need true, apolitical, independence between gatekeepers and users, and users can never be in possession of the actual data because access control can be easily bypassed if this is the case. We have never had that in this country, countermeasures against misuse always seem to be non-transparent and policy based rather than technical (ie secret courts and warrants that no one can actually audit), and data is repeatedly misused over and over with no consequences (eg parallel reconstruction, people spying on partners, people spying on celebs, etc).
The first link counts 4k displays with 2x scaling as 1920x1080. It doesn’t seem to differentiate for hidpi monitors. People who use 4k displays without UI scaling are rare indeed. Perhaps macs are “rare” (though 7% is hardly rare). HiDPI desktops are still rare indeed. But HiDPI laptops are pretty common these days.

When I first saw a hidpi display (on iPhone 4), this was a game changer for me. Since then, I don’t understand how it is even possible to settle for something with visible pixels. iPhone 4 was releases 10 years ago.
They don't see the problem because they haven't experienced the consequences of bad corporate environments. Some things you gotta experience on your own to truly appreciate. Everyone should have a really bad job at least once in their life.

I employed a number of tricks. The ones I am particularly proud of are:

- The title screen, which uses the iconic old-school wavy text effect. To make this fast in Bash, I ended up precomputing the table of sin that determines the offset of each slice:

https://github.com/zenoamaro/arkanoid.sh/blob/master/src/tit...

- The rendering system required to get all this to run a smooth, consistent 60fps on both linux and macs, without blocking key reading. It sends itself an ALRM signal trap to run the game loop in a co-process, much similarly to how it's usually done with `requestAnimationFrame`:

Reasons behind the kind of terrorism for which mass surveillance is enforced (e.g., Muslim fundamentalists against American interests) have deep historical roots, too messy to be addressed.

Britain and France had geopolitical and business interests in the Middle East since the 18-19th century. America since the 20th, when oil suddenly had all the spotlight.

Fundamentalists are convinced that "the West" is the Devil on Earth. No political force can pacify fundamentalists nor avoid future generations.
This is an interesting take, but surprising to me when the alleged "judgmental" and "peer pressure"ing people are the EFF. The EFF has a well earned reputation for rational, well considered positions. Did you mean to describe them specifically, or did you intend this in a more general sense?
My argument is actually that the government should develop the infrastructure, and promote more health, social and educational programs -

I see how the local municipalities are over worked and understaffed ... its been years now like this! Its not the needy i mean, jordan peterson says when the middle class gets a cold, the lower class gets a pneumonia ... and the AFD is the pneumonia, in my opinion.

I didn't mean to sound as i did that i want the govt. to spend on the needy, i want them to build more, very few countries have so much, yet develop so slowly. Look the netherlands ... denmark too! Not thet they dont have problems too, but i think they do more as social states. Granted, they dont have the baggage germany has.

Im actually curious, what’s your take? How could things be improved? An honest question

Trump threatens big tariffs on car imports from EU at Davos if no trade deal
1-2% returns on rentals is far too low (REITs return ~12% and require no headache) but even if that was true, housing is one of the few places where a "Regular Joe" with just a little bit of research can actually gain a market advantage and "beat the market". I can link you properties right now that can be bought and instantly rented for 15+% returns with no work and >20% with some fix up work. This is possible because of 1. easy to access leverage vs. other asset types and 2. difficulty of scale, which prevents the Blackrocks of the world from just buying up all of the property that could actually return 20% and making the market efficient. If I had to guess, the reason you are seeing 1-2% returns is because you are looking at really "hot" markets where the prices reflect an assumption of future appreciation.
What happened to the Semantic Web was Machine Learning and NoSql databases. Even if the Semantic Web had been a good idea, it took a lot of work to get any benefits. Machine learning produced Big Wins For Free, or at least Comparatively Cheap. And they produced them from big piles of unformatted data requiring no standards meetings or agreements beforehand.

I felt (and said at the time) that the Semantic Web wasn't sufficient to achieve its own goals. The language they chose wasn't powerful enough to express sufficient semantics to enable the kind of data integration and integrity that they wanted. The result was ontologies that still required a lot of negotiation before you could start working -- and then provided little benefit.

So the semi-structured world instead picked NoSql databases, which promptly became full of impossible crap, but at least you could Move Fast And Break Things. And people took all that crap and ML'd it to get something -- what, exactly, is unclear, but it was a thing.

I'll note that I pursued ontologies with a more rigorous standard, and I couldn't get any traction, either. The up-front expense was too high, and I never managed to convey the story about how much good it would do you in the five-to-ten year time horizon. Nobody wanted to hear that. I still think it was a better approach than the Semantic Web, but in the end people chose flexibility over interoprability.

Semantic Web failed because it was neither Semantic nor Web. It wasn't smart enough to be Semantic, nor agile enough to be Web.

I hope Discord manages to find a sustainable business model. Feature-wise, it makes Teams and Slack look primitive.

The author's example of the SUaQ discord is a good one. It is pretty incredible to experience first hand. It isn't unique either. There are tons of communities with all sorts of self service workflows powered by third party bots.

You can do some of the same stuff with Slack and (I assume) Teams, but Discord is a lot more powerful. For example, imagine connecting Discord voice chat to AWS Connect via a bot...

The word simple should never be in close proximity to Kubernetes. They're mutually exclusive when you consider the total cost of devops, maintenance, debugging, and all the time you'll inevitably waste on things that have nothing to do with your business' unique value proposition.

With that being said, adaptjs looks interesting for more complex scenarios that actually warrant such complexity. My only gripe is that 95% of companies that use stuff like this use it to satisfy developer's desires as opposed to satisfying a real product / business need.
From what I can tell, they are roughly flat since around 2016. Example: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1174-Pomeroy-Ave-Santa-Cl... . Depends on what and where, of course.

And AFAIK, generally rents are lagging behind house prices and are more sticky. If you're a prospective buyer and houses are loosing and are projected to loose hundreds of thousands of dollars each year, that's pretty big incentive to stick around in your rental and wait.
ES is very poorly engineered but unexplainably popular. The interesting question is why it's popular.
Well, what if you were under feudalism or under the USSR, and decided that the problem with the status quo that you should try to solve was not “we don’t have plentiful enough food” but rather “people need food to live at all”.

One wouldn’t succeed in changing this.

Of course, some conceivable changes to the way things are, are both possible to achieve, and are overall beneficial to make.

Some changes are impossible (or effectively impossible) to make, and some are possible but have costs which outweigh the benefits.

I suppose the question is determining, or estimating, which is which.

(Though, I suppose the question isn’t just “what proportion are you right about as to what category they fall under” but rather, what is the average benefit and cost (and I suppose also the variance and other moments?) of your pursuit of the changes you choose to persue.)

A person's carbon footprint is directly related to their wealth/income. If 80% of wealth/income is in cities, this isn't surprising.

Further, the definition of "city" can include a lot of sprawl in places like Houston, Phoenix, and even Beijing and Tokyo.

Even further, can you cute your source? I'm skeptical of both numbers. And it would be very easy to cherry pick either side of these numbers.

For example, a lot of concrete is pored in cities to build mid/high rises. Concrete produces a fuck-ton of carbon. Is this amortized over the expected lifespan of the building? Where is the carbon cost accounted for? A lot of the carbon is emitted in rural areas. But is it all just lumped into the city because that's where it's used? That seems unfair. A lot of rural wealth comes from natural resource extraction used to build and power cities...

Most power plants and factories are outside of cities. Yes, they mostly power the city and produce goods for the city -- but their providing a lot of income/wealth to rural areas...
Interesting, the explanation that it stands for "NeXT Software, Inc" that came up in the parent thread seems plausible.

Inflation is not good measure, because income also increases. House price affordability or price to income ratio is more relevant than inflation.

> You're doubting what? That there are people doing this?

Yes I am absolutely doubting this.

> Snowballing with profits from multiple other properties

Like, as in buying properties in Ohio then managing them? If it's in SF I can kind of see it since you can go to the property on short notice, but if you're in SF you aren't buying and maintaining rental properties in Ohio unless you have family here or someone to help out on the ground or unless you seriously enjoy throwing money in the trash. It's far too much work and rental property management companies don't really help except to find tenants. It's hard enough work when you're actually in the same location.

I'm sure there exists people who do it (I don't think I've doubted that it's possible or that somebody somewhere does it) but I'd challenge it as a smart investment choice for sure.

If you want to clarify here because I think that there's some ambiguity between your comment and the OP comment I responded to, please do and I'd love to chat about that.
