Car crashes tend to happen in a matter of a couple seconds at most.

This is uncommon in planes.

TCAS, for example: https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/64847/how-much-...

> Traffic advisories are provided 35-48 seconds out and a Resolution will be provided 20-30 seconds out.

It's exceedingly rare you have 20-30 seconds warning of an impending car crash.
It's not the same. I think it's a matter of scale. Walmart, because of its size, will often have more checks and balances. They will not take a chance to mar their reputation. Walmart wants to keep people's trust. It's worth billions to the company. It's not 100% but I feel more comfortable if I'm not constantly being pushed additional services to buy.

Most dentists I've dealt with run their practice as a small business. Usually, it's a few dentists. They need to constantly sell. I understand that they need to stay in business but it's so constant that you never know where you stand.

I'm not saying that all dentists are like that it's just hard to find one that you can trust. Just like car mechanics.
I think I misread the comment I was responding too.

I was more trying to say hierarchies are not always wrong, but I realize now that's not exactly what he was claiming. You're right they're often abused and should always be challenged. Nothing about nature is good or evil it just is.
Case Studies in Rearchitecting
Thanks a lot, I know about both spaces. I thought virtually all modern games only work in linear mode within the GPU, and avoid any compositing in non-linear. That was my first surprise when reading the first comment.

Then someone else replied explaining that such compositing is done due to bandwidth, but I do not understand: after textures are uploaded to VRAM, PCIe bandwidth should be irrelevant. If they are talking about VRAM bandwidth, I would understand if this was for a lot of big textures... but for doing vignette? Is better to be going back and forth to sRGB in each compositing step just to keep the intermediate results smaller due to VRAM bandwidth?
> You are no longer concerned with minute adjustments to the wheel, and you no longer have to maintain a constant high priority task of staying centered in the lines. Now, instead, you perform higher order functions of route planning, estimating traffic flow, observing other drivers and whether they are paying attention or drifting toward you, etc.

Staying centered in the lane should be muscle memory for an experienced driver. The higher order functions you mentioned are all things you should be doing regardless, with or without autopilot. I can perform those tasks just fine while driving a stick shift, most drivers can.

The other side of the coin is that reduced engagement in the driving process can lead to lapses in concentration. That's not just my experience, it's the same opinion expressed by F1 drivers tasked with bringing the lead car home in an unchallenging grand prix.
And despite this history, cannabis extracts like CBD are classed as "novel foods" in the UK.

'A Novel Food is defined as food that had not been consumed to a significant degree by humans in the EU before 15 May 1997, when the regulations were introduced.'

The dentist office has to roll up all their costs under the services they provide. So the $275 contributes to all the staff wages and benefits, office space, etc. That is why for example the HVAC repairman charges $300 for changing a $5 capacitor in your AC. Places like Costco/Walmart can reduce the costs by keeping a steady stream of customers and sharing building space, etc.
I like how someone on HN tells you that ordinary users have no idea how to set up their own DNS servers and you respond with how Linux users can set up unbound. Like, well argued!

There is also something poetic about how the people that know how and are inclined to set up their own unbound servers on their laptops are getting worse security than everyone else. That sparks joy for me.
"Homeless" is one of those catch all words like "plastic" or "cancer", where the things being described only look relatively similar from the outside.

As the blogpost notes: "There are already lots of hidden homeless passing for normal, couch surfing, etc. People tend to not realize it."

Fortunately right now, I'm at very low risk of homelessness, but I can imagine scenarios where it could happen. Some people don't have family to fall back on. Some people's family are terrible people and it's questionable whether they are better off with them or living rough.

A lot of people live in their cars or vans for a while.

Here in Austin, urban camping was decriminalized (I am not an expert, this may not be entirely correct) and now there are quite a lot of tents popping up all over the place.

As a civilian, it's impossible for me to tell what situation a person is in; are they potentially violent, do they live in the same world as me, are they mentally and physically capable but undergoing hard times? They are all people, and they should all be helped, but help for one person isn't like help for another; and just lumping people together and parking them doesn't help anyone.

I only had a quick glance at the source code and my Go is terrible so forgive me if I've misunderstood something.

But am I right in the assumption that this includes a proxy that acts as a sort of "middleware" layer for the terminal without explicit support from either the shell or the terminal?

If so, this might have a lot more potential than it seems. Imagine how much you could do with "terminal middleware"!
What's fairly freaky is that current transport cost ratios between modes of transportation are little changed from those of pre-industrial times. Land transport costs about 20x that of sea.

The principle differences are:

- Rail. Which is roughly the equivalent of a canal or waterway, though with higher speeds. About 1/2 as efficient as large-scale cargo ships.

- Air. Extraordinarly expensive, but fast. Also very effective at spreading disease.

Thanks to the Go team for the great work!

The more I use it, the more I enjoy Go. Having grown up with the healthy dose of Pascal and later Modula 2, I appreciate many traits of Go which let me just focus on the tasks at hand. With very little "magic" going on, some parts of the code might be a bit tedious, but you also always have the feeling of being in control, as everything is very explicit. Add to that a few underapreciated dynamic features. I am first of all a professional Lisp/Scheme programmer and a lot of Scheme concepts translate surprisingly well into Go due to having first class functions and a garbage collector.

It is very nice to see how the Go releases are very careful to add new features while continuosly improve on the "quality" side. Enhancing the performance of "defer" is a great example. Like unwind-protect in Lisp, it is a very elegant way to ensure that cleanup code is run under any circumstance. Removing its overhead is a big thing.
I constantly see this sentiment and don't get it. It's perfectly fine in GoLand, and has been for the year I've been using it. What's broken for you?
Yep. That thing is a fucking abomination. I believe it's called backstage or something and the idiots who petitioned for, designed and approved it should be dishonorably discharged.

I think it's a good call out to keep in mind the guidelines, but technically the original comment also breaks guidelines.

> My experience differs. It is hard to find a data structure that cannot be modeled with Python's native data structures with only a constant performance penalty. In fact I believe that I have only seen one, and I don't remember what it is.

My claim isn't that they don't exist or that one cannot implement them in for example Python (which is very false). I was imprecise there. What I was trying to say is that there is a higher degree of uniformity and generality to do the same in Clojure, which leads to more cleanliness and easier, more fluent abstractions. Clojure code (and I assume similar to true with other Lisps) feels more compatible with itself so to speak. Syntax plays a role here but also the fact that Clojure is designed to be primarily an FP language.

> I agree with the points that suck about Clojure. To them I must add, "It is hard to hire people who already know the ecosystem." For real businesses this is a non-trivial issue. (...)

I fully agree with this and with the rest of your points. I think there might also be factor of personal taste or way of thinking.

How to Value a Company by Analyzing Its Customers
I'm not sure public lockers in the US were ever really part of the culture. They were probably more common in airports and the like at one point. And, yeah, maybe 9/11 eliminated some vestigial examples but having places to leave your stuff other than doing so surreptitiously at a hotel or whatever hasn't been routine for as long as I can remember.
This isn’t always true, but in general, you can tell by how you feel whether something is very likely affecting your long term health.

If you truly feel fantastic staying up for days on end, and then sleeping extra for a while ... I know at least one hyper successful person who uses to be the same way.

She eventually outgrew it, and stopped.

I am skeptical this harmed her long term.

Now, lots of behavior makes you feel great and is in fact terrible for you ... but even obvious ones like drugs tend to be felt in subsequent days, same with that awesome tasting cheeseburger, etc.

So I think it’s worth it to at least entertain the notion it isn’t as harmful to pull all nighters for you as is commonly said.

Lolwut? Is there a standardized suffering scale?
I posted the article Centralised DoH is bad for Privacy, in 2019 and beyond to HN nearly a week ago [1].

Here’s the money quote:

DNS over HTTPS however neatly separates out each device (and even each individual application on that device) to a separate query stream. This alone is worrying, as we now have individual users’ queries, but the TLS that underlies HTTPS also typically uses TLS Resumption which offers even further tracking capabilities.

Riddle me this one:

If EVERYONE stays home, how do stores remain open? Do we think they are run by robots?

I try to use language with some degree of precision. I said "assume no stores will be open during that time". ASSUME, not "stores will definitely be closed during that time". Assume, as a part of planning, not categorically know, because the assumption will make for better planning.

It is far safer to make this assumption and be wrong, than to discover not making the assumption was a mistake.

In the first case you end-up with extra food and supplies you did not need and will simply consume over several months (or donate to the Red Cross, which would be fantastic). In the other case you and your family could suffer greatly due to being utterly unprepared.

> I'm already protected by TLS for the latter.

True

> Newer TLS will eventually protect me from the former (in combination with DNS encryption).

False. Your ISP will see a port 443 connection to 151.101.121.140 and then lookup that IP in whichever of the numerous IP->Website DB's they're using and discover you visited Reddit.

DoH didn't hide from your ISP that you visited Reddit. It just added Cloudflare to the list of orgs that know about it.

Potential fix: Centralise HTTP behind a handful of shared IP addresses so the IP->Website mapping isn't so easy. Did somebody say Cloudflare?

Whether he's right depends almost entirely on how effective Tesla's heavily AI-focused approach to self driving turns out to be. If they can indeed reach the point where Tesla vehicles can operate fully autonomously with no one in the driver's seat, he may very well be right. It would be a long time before Tesla would be able to make enough cars to meet demand and a robotaxi service would be highly profitable in the mean time, so market rates may very well reach upwards of $200k per car.

That's all conditional on Tesla being able to develop and deploy a L4 driving system before everyone else though. So far, early results on that front have not been encouraging. I suspect Elon has underestimated the difficulty of training modern AI systems to reach the level of consistency and reliability necessary for safety critical real-world applications.

I... I still really struggle with this. I'm a smart person, I've got a bachelors of engineering, I've been a professional software developer for around 14 years now, and I've built a house. But there is something about degree-level maths and beyond that I find deeply unintuitive in a way that software development isn't.

Through comments here I found 3blue1brown's (clearly much loved) videos. By the third video I was shouting, "why for the love of god would we be doing this"? Based on this reaction I suspect that the content neither has intrinsic appeal to me, nor does it have obvious use in my work, projects, or life.

Pre-degree maths though, I love. My A-level maths really changed how I saw the world, and I make use of it reasonably often (well, often enough to not forget it).

I think I'm writing this here because most other commenters seem to really grasp this subject, or feel that they grasp it better having seen these videos. I'm honestly happy for you. However, if anyone is reading this who doesn't feel like that, then know you're not alone :-)

ABSynthe: Automatic blackbox sidechannel synthesis on commodity μarchitectures [pdf]
It'd be nice if there was something along the lines of youth hostels, or the boarding houses that existed a hundred years ago. In some places, you've got dive motels that cater to truckers and itinerant construction workers and the like, but even at the cheapest you're looking at something around $40-50 a day. There's a big gap in the market there that isn't being served.
> All things that people who have houses are free to do without being punished. So yeah, anybody does care if you have a house, practically speaking.

I don't think so.

If I go to a restaurant and am refused service, it's not because I couldn't present a deed. It's based on whether your state makes everybody around you uncomfortable.

Maybe if you have a suit, then you can get away with yelling or more drinking, but that's a stereotype about attire (or really class-ism), not about having a house. Houses actually have very little to do with any of this.

Yes there is a general trend that a new "market place" opens up. It could be adwords, or it could be udemy. There is then a race to the top/bottom where the marketplace becomes popular and crowded out. The "crowd" progressively gets a worse deal (except for the winners of the crowd) and the owner makes more money.

For example adwords:

1. Crowd gets worse deal: average bidder pays more for ads, hard to make a profit, might break even if you are lucky. Might be OK in a new niche if lucky.

2. Winners: people with sharp marketing teams who can bid on the right keywords and have an
excellent sales funnel to take advantage. They can outbid the crowd and make a profit.

3. Owner: Google makes a tonne of money from ads of course:

Udemy:

1. Crowd gets worse deal: I saw a 80 hour course for $20 on there. Most are 20-30 hours course for $20. Course maker gets a fraction of that. 100's of similar course means the platform doesn't necessarily give you much traffic.

2. Winners: Some people sells thousands of units of their course on these platforms. Again those with good funnels to get them to buy off the platform probably win (I am guessing).

3. Owner: Udemy does well.

Same applies to the app stores!
