This seems like a good idea... until your self-hosted DNS server starts getting DoS attacked. I've had seemingly innocent servers practically taken off the Internet with UDP/53 floods- very easy for any 12-year-old to execute.
My personal take on this is that with easy automation wildcard certificates simply shouldn't be used any more.

In the past one reason for wildcards was that it's too annoying to request certs for each subdomains. With automation this reason goes aways.

The other reason is that you can have "secret hostnames". But if your security relies on secret hostnames that's a bad idea to begin with. You still leak the hostnames to the DNS and as long as we don't have ubiquitous DoH+ESNI also to the network.

Wildcard certs on the other hand have certain risks. If you have a vulnerability in the TLS stack on subdomain1.example.org that may compromise the security of subdomain2.example.org if they share the same cert.
Perhaps I read it badly, but to me GP's claims sounded like they believe people wouldn't be poor if only they were more educated, that with a little mentorship everyone could learn how to stop being poor. The example of the neighbor squandering her money and not educating her children seemed to reinforce this idea - she has the money not to be poor, she just doesn't know how to do it. This is probably true in her particular case, based on GP's recording, but it is insulting to generalize it to the vast majority of poor people who would know very well how to save 1500 dollars and not to spend it on same gaming system, if they only ever saw that amount of money all at one time.
When I was a truck driver, Satellite Radio was practically a necessity. Sure I loaded up my ipod with music, but the selection was too damn limited and I would tire of hearing the same songs over & over again.

The best case scenario for FM radio (when you would finally find something that you could tolerate) was 1 hour. 1 hour of variety to stave off bordem and try to save your sanity. The effective range of the FM signal bubble was around 75 miles/120km. If you were unlucky 'Seek/Scan' button would be broken on the radio. Most radios in company supplied trucks were very shitty.

MY favorite times would be at night and manually adjusting the AM reception and picking up stations from all over the world. Trying to discern their location based on the commercials.

Sat. radio offered me consistency. It was wholly replaced once I discovered that audiobooks could be downloaded (and not cumbersome audio-cassettes).

Then as the years passed the variety on the stations offered diminished to the point that it seemed like they were playing the same 5-6 over & over again.

Mergers happened. Personal audio players got better.
I could download enough books to keep me entertained for a month AND have music playlists that saved my sanity.

So I cancelled.

I STILL miss 'Spa Radio' channel73(?) when I am driving in hectic or tense traffic. That always enhanced my calm.

Exactly. For anything but open highway, self driving is so far into the future, that we should be focusing on making smaller pieces safer, ultimately building up to the end goal. If there is a self driving car in my lifetime that will drive up the windy mountain road to Yosemite, in the winter, then I'm the Pope. This all or nothing shit has to stop.

Obviously Tesla is going to hide behind the consumer's decision here. Autopilot scared the shit out of this guy on multiple occasions, and he kept turning it on and trusting it with by far the most deadly thing he did every day. Odd choice when you put it that way, but one a lot of people make, I'm sure, maybe one that I would make.

I really hope the government isn't too aggressive in hindering companies from doing self-driving car R&D on public roads, but I would be fine with the government saying consumers shouldn't be used as guinea pigs for systems that are less safe that typical human drivers. Anecdotal evidence can't establish that self-driving cars are less safe than humans (even if it establishes that they make mistakes that humans wouldn't) so I would expect a numbers-driven standard, but self-driving technology shouldn't be unleashed on consumers until it achieves at least a human level of safety.

> So it doesn't solve getting the makefiles (or presumably the source code depending on how it's organized), the compiler, or assembling multiple projects into one coherent build.

Ahh I see what you mean -- I was more thinking about the library issue, but yeah building is definitely still really hard.

I think good support for unikernels is a long time off, and will obviously vary by language -- maybe the usage that finally breaks through will be tight integration with some lower level compile tools. For example if a company were to hit GraalVM (which is really trying to push themselves as the better-than-stock VM for a bunch of languages) and LLVM as integration points for unikernels I think they could really make a convincingly easy toolchain (without modifying developers' current toolchains).
I'm not sure I add 10 lines of code, on average, to our products a day. Most days are probably negative, to be honest.

It's another modern tech company that hemorrhages money with no return. All they do is lose cash, but they're popular. Compare this to Bandcamp, which has a great UI, no bots, and generates revenue. Yet it's less popular by comparison.

I would love to be able to configure time machine to only back up a list of directories.

I keep my files organized in specific directories in my homedir, “dev”, and “personal”. I would like those to be backed up and nothing else.

My guess is that something like this would be much less prone to bugs and much quicker to run.

I realize some people have a perfect and/or high complex setup that they want to be able to come back to if their system fails, but my experience over the last 10 years has taught me that restoring from a time machine back up is extremely rare.

I would rather just make sure my important files are backed up (at the click of a button, or automatically) and I can easily rebuild my system by reinstalling things from scratch.

Thanks for sharing your experience. In the project you're talking about, what role do automated (unit or integration) tests play? Was it part of your project policy to include tests for fixed bugs/new features? How did that change when you introduced mypy? What role do tests play today where you're using mypy widely now?

But isn't that what autopilot is used for? High speed Highway traffic? I don't trust AI cars yet but I'd like to know my instinct is true on this and not just my natural inclination to avoid unfamiliar tech.

These are high risk areas, if autopilot is "failing hard" with a regularity equal to or higher than normal than this would be good to demonstrate with stats. Guessing Tesla doesn't really release that info?
With their legal issue regarding java and oracle it seems more sure than ever that flutter is here for the long run.

> I think the manufactures will sell cars to those want to run a taxi company.

A self-driving car is software and hardware... you can sell hardware but software only gets licensed. Software is really where the value is, and that won’t be owned by anyone but the company that made it.

Look at the history of mobile phones, which were originally sold to consumers only by the carriers. As the phones got better and better software, the business model attached more and more to the manufacturer.
> how quickly might it react to a perceived obstacle?

Very quickly, you have a split second to avoid whatever it decides to steer towards. The problem becomes even worse after you factor in that autopilot only works in easy to drive conditions (i.e. highways with high speeds). To make things even worse, you get less attentive when you are passive for a long period. I.e. if the autopilot fails in your first 20 seconds of driving you may very well be able to react, but if it has been driving perfectly for 20 minutes, you're probably already lulled into a passive state, and way to slow to react.
Hallucinations are much more commonly auditory in Scz, and often language based (deaf Schizophrenic people report hallucinating disembodied hands doing sign language). If it is a real effect it could possibly have the opposite explanation- blind people tend to have compensatory improvements in other senses like hearing, so perhaps developmental auditory hyposensitivity is a causal factor.

But yeah, while I think the observation is interesting, it is hard to conclude much of anything from it.
EventBus 3.2 Android
I mean, the 'half a dozen reasonable measures' is a problem, not a solution, when they're not all saying the same thing. And sure, it only takes days before we know the latest version of the software actually isn't safer than the average human. And a lot of unnecessary deaths, and the likelihood the fix will cause other unnecessary deaths instead [maybe more, maybe less]. It's frankly sociopathic to dismiss the possibility this might be a problem as sophistry.
my original comment was around the point of mixing morality and business.

> I assumed you meant that they should include safety features for no extra cost, which they do

Yes! Soundcloud, to me, is meritocracy in music today. Are they, will they, be as evil as everyone else in sneakily selling personal data? Sure, that's beside the point; a society-wide problem. Soundcloud provides a direct connection between fully independent music creators and an audience, large or small. If my music were that good, I would blow up on Soundcloud, at some scale. Disagree? Ask Billie Eilish what she thinks of Soundcloud.

The effect is more often, and I think more accurately, termed 'regulatory capture' than corruption. The other side of it is that the incumbents work to ensure that regulation presents a very high barrier to entry for any would-be competitor.

I really like this view on the incompressibility of a uniform distribution.

However, the channel is probably not the same. Just as we moved from AM to FM, I'd expect then that a more advanced civilisation can make further improvements by changing the channel rather than the encoding, and maybe information encoded in the spin of particles or some other funky physics effect.

Ultimately, whilst the encoding will approach a uniform distribution, it seems like bad design for them to have an entire signal indistinguishable from background radiation, which is something they have to overcome as well.

Cancellation is also by phone call only, which creates a lot of friction. I’ve tried to cancel a couple of times, and let it lapse once, and they always end up dropping my rate to $4/mo.

With regards to multiple distinct edges between vertices: TopicDB (https://github.com/brettkromkamp/topic-db) already allows this. However, in my drive to simplify from a user-perspective, there is no corresponding GUI. A possibility would obviously be to provide both the current simplified GUI (by default) and an advanced GUI (allowing for multiple edges between vertices). I'm actively considering this as multiple people have mentioned/requested it.
There is zero proof that autonomous vehicles can be safer than human drivers.

> Refactoring usually is not going to be as tasking as working on a new feature

Maybe if you wrote the entire codebase yourself just a week ago so everything is still fresh in your memory.

In most real-world situations that is not the case, and refactoring becomes a careful task that leads to regressions even with testing in place.
As an example, in Ark, people use cementing paste as a currency. It's very time-intensive to make, stacks a lot, is not terribly heavy, and high-level crafting and building needs it in solar-mass-esque quantities.

Even more impressive than the market cap previously referenced is their actual business is vastly superior to Spotify.

Sirius 2019: $7.8b in sales, $1.7b operating income

Spotify 2019: $6.7b in sales, -$73m operating income

Spotify's market cap is supported by a fantasy that one day, somehow, if they get big enough they might generate a real profit to support their Wile E. Coyote valuation (don't look down). So for example, if they get to $20 billion in sales (in another 10 years), maybe they'll spit off as much profit as Sirius does right now in exchange for a similar market cap.

The goal is always zero, but we all know that will never happen. Nothing is perfect. And assistance technologies may be more dangerous than level 5 because we physically cannot maintain concentration when few actions or decisions ar required from us. Some studies even indicate manual tranamissions make us safer, possibly for that reason. When level 5 is available, and it will be, because forever is a long time, good drivers shouldn't have to buy those cars. Assuming money is still a thing. Insurance comapnies may start forcing people financially towards sel drive only cars by hiking rates on humans, but if you give up your privacy with a driving monitor and they asses that you are safer, they would probably rather you drive and waive the hike.

Been seeing these kinds of developments pop up a lot lately. The research triangle of NC is getting a lot of these with all their rapid development, and I've seen them around where I live currently.

The problem is they are really nothing more than a bandaid. They don't solve infrastructure problems, and they still encourage people to get into their cars (creating traffic) and driving to some place else far from their homes.

My point is, I don't see the purpose. They look fake, they feel fake, and I still have to drive there. It's not encouraging walking that much. It feels like a theme park, but at least at Disneyland they still pull the parking way outside the main park.
