He was asking about paying for the game.
I think that person's reply was prompted by you saying that Telestream was "way better for you" but then listing all but one feature provided by OBS.

Note that I don't have a horse in this race. I've only used basic features of OBS and have never heard of Telestream. I'm just pointing out the possible miscommunication here.
Pixel 3A is the most comparable thing. It's a little big, but not as bulky as most flagships.
It's even bigger than that.

We should be looking at strategic sourcing, just like we do with oil. Not all manufacturing should be allowed offshore. The SEC evaluates mergers, as part of HomeLand Security we need offshoring evaluated.

If you want to move your rubber dog bone production offshore, or if an industry wants to move ALL rubber dog bone production offshore, go for it. Critical items like ventilators. NOPE. Or Computing equipment, NOPE. There needs to be a list.

Since we are starting off with a partisan attack.

The reason we don’t have enough face masks is because we have moved all our medical supply chain to China. The reason we were able to do that is because during the Clinton administration we allowed US businesses to destroy US manufacturing capability by granting permanent normal trade relation with China.

I like how the liberal/Democrats always ignore China/offshoring during their discussion of economic crisis. (Probably because they benefited from the slave labors in China more)

But Russia is scarier!
Can Immersive Tech Save Industry Events?
Just an aside, but it always felt weird to me that we call is bare-metal while the actual code runs on mostly semiconductors.

I am very glad that in my bachelor program our microcontrollers class actually made us hand enter hex codes in a kit. It got tedious after a while (maybe it should have been for only a few weeks not the whole semester), but it gave me a weird sense of being one with the machine. And it has as awesome ice breaker when talking with older programmers. For some of them I am the only one of my age that they have met who has ever done this. Another thing is it helped me sort of see the flow of it and encouraged optimization.

(I don't want to give too much credit to my college, they did it not as some great pedagogical trick but to save money and laziness)
I would simply dig into the backup locations using Finder.

The backups are (or at least used to be) simple files, with deduplication provided by hard links.
Exactly. Many are the same outlets who also are happy to do the bidding of the Chinese government that has a horrible human rights record, be overtly political/partisan, shill for corporate interests over facts and the best interests of the average person and who regularly moralize instead of reporting. Thanks, but no thanks.
Only because they capture a lot of data and keep the row level information.

If you just grabbed clustered coordinates without any device information there wouldn't be enough data to be able to reconstruct identity information.
Partly curiousity, also I think there's a lot of nostalgia.

Back when I got started with computers it was 1982, and the available programming languages were BASIC and Z80 assembly language. A lot of people growing up around that time did assembly language coding, because they needed the speed, or because (like me) they wanted to hack games for either infinite lives, or to ease copying.

Of course assembly language is still used in some areas, it used to be necessary for optimization a lot more than today due to evolving general purpose hardware. But it is still useful for embedded and microcontroller programming.

I don't often touch assembly these days because I have a need for it, but do it for fun because it reminds me of simpler times and fewer abstractions. e.g. a recent project:

https://github.com/skx/math-compiler

(Of course these days with microcode, and complex processors, it's not really bare-metal anymore. Not like it used to be. But try telling kids today that, and they won't believe you !)
> that's on the order of a .001% chance of dying.

Not exactly, there's factors pushing that way down, and some up.

We shouldn't look at [mortality /infected numbers], but rather at [mortality / resolved cases]. Given the exponential growth, most infected occurred very recently, and their death may still be pending, bound to occur in the coming weeks. For example, suppose an infection takes 1 month to resolve. If in January 100 get infected, in February 1000, and in February all the 100 infected from January have died, the mortality rate isn't 100/1100, it's 100/100.

Instead, looking at just the resolved numbers: either death, or recovery, are more accurate. This is still not fully reliable given the cases resolving in death or recovery may have different timing, but it's better than just looking at gross infected rates. This pushes up the 0.001% figure.

More importantly though, our infected numbers are way, way off. Probably 10 times higher. Most countries only test people who are hospitalised. The rest must stay home. There's no country that I know of that is going to people's homes to test people at scale. And there's only a few countries with a drive-through testing kind of model. Given there is evidence that substantial percentages (perhaps 50%) are asymptomatic, and that weak and mild cases aren't being tested either, the true infected numbers are way worse. (which pushes down your 0.001% figure).
Back in February I ordered a few boxes of 3M masks from a distributor in US because the US was the only country with no mask export laws yet.
Stockpiling medical supplies is a pimple on the US federal budget. Its a strawman to suggest its 'huge investments'.

Its a decision to make, and the US decided to 'go commando' to save a few bucks. Because it was politically expedient. Because the politicians are gambling with our lives to advance their careers. Instead of, you know, doing the right thing.

Foolish folks who blindly label everything "huge investments" are the issue here. Yes its maybe $100,000,000. A big number to the rank and file. But its 100 miles of road for instance. America has a million miles - which was deemed worthwhile.

Labelling every public health and safety issue as a 'waste of money' is the tragedy here. Its shortsighted and stupid.
i would love to see a shift towards small languages, which is subtly different from a shift towards simple languages.

there are plenty of things i feel are serious shortcomings of C (mixing error results with returned values is my big one), but the fact that the set of things the language can do is small and the ways you can do them are limited makes it much easier to write code that is easy to read. and that will always keep me coming back.
> they have almost 0 medical manufacturing here

Well, that must be a very big zero. Have you ever heard of companies like Roche, Tecan, Hamilton or Ypsomed (just to name a few)?
Pakistan was perceived as a secular state by its founders, even if that's not how it panned out.

The riots and violence in India today is directly caused by the current government's policies. I know that before Modi, even my religious but western-educated Pakistani friends would point to India and say we should be like them. Not so any more. Something has changed in India in the last decade - blaming an event from three generations ago does Indians and their intelligence a disservice. It implies that they are not in control of their own destiny and are instead held hostage by a three-generation old event.

Agreed. http://gen.lib.rus.ec is my go-to. If it ever goes down then a quick web search or a visit to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_Genesis and the new mirror appears.

Also, literally everyone already knows this, but SciHub for journal articles: https://sci-hub.tw (mirrors: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sci-Hub).
I don’t get your argument. Two courts already decided who is guilty, there’s no process to distort unless you consider this thread a retrial. What happens here is that despite court decisions people still try to prove something and shift responsibility to victims of the incident. This is victim blaming by definition and it is pointless, because justice already decided on this case.
> No woman should ever be characterized as a "whore."

No, since "whore" tends to be derogative. But we should make it socially acceptable for a woman to be a prostitute, lady of pleasure, hetaera, etc. These can be highly skilled, honest businesspeople that deserve our respect. Calling one a "whore" should be like calling a physician a "sawbones", which is often not meant derogatively.

> Without socially acceptable outlets ... you just compound problems and actively create problems.

And one important such outlet is prostitution, by and for all sexes.

Hopefully some day we could call someone a whore and they'd honestly respond with something like "well I'm not actually a professional at it, but I generally admire them, so thank you."
> Also, to be clear, are you sympathetic to the incarceration of drug dealers and thieves but not sympathetic to the incarceration of someone who accidentally killed someone in an auto-pedestrian accident?

Didn't see this because you added it in an edit. I think we should generally avoid prison time as much as possible, for all of these cases.

I just get frustrated when I often seem to see people defending people with similar social status to themselves, but having apparently no sympathy for people of different social circumstances.

Clearly the consensus on HN is not entirely the same way, as some of the other replies to my comment show.

I am sorry for having assumed intentions that you don't have, though, more trying to comment on a general trend I've observed.
Coronavirus economy will be devastating until we get widespread testing
Does it work reliably now?

I know whole backups were highly unreliable with TimeMachine, and this was a known problem.

I had to use it twice to setup a new replacement laptop with the same data as my old one. The first time it went smoothly, but the second time it failed badly.
Because, if built like subways are in the US today ($900 million per mile), that would only give you a few hundred miles of subway. So a few city centers might have better public transit, but the vast, vast majority of the US would not. (Which isn't to say we can't do both if tunneling can be done much cheaper. It's pretty silly to think we, a mostly suburban nation unfortunately, only need high density subways and nothing else. Particularly during a global pandemic with social distancing.)

Additionally, with highway-like vehicle spacing and high capacity stretched Model Xes (as the Boring Company proposed), the throughput is the same order of magnitude as a typical subway line. With denser spacing, potentially even higher.

Anyway, the question is about what Elon's backup plan was. This is it, regardless of whether it works or not. (And there's plenty of reason to think it won't, to be fair!)
As usual, this will fuck up the users, and not the techy nerds making such decisions, but the average joe because things on the internet will be broken for them.

With all due respect, this comes off as apologizing for Apple's disagreeable design choice.

If anything, it should be on Apple and the browser vendors to make local storage more useful by default, not less useful. Your suggestions might as well be aimed at browser vendors, who could conceivably offer user friendly controls for local storage (e.g. import/export without the dev panel). But as is usually the case each of the browser vendors has these little annoying ways that they cripple the browser to protect their business models. Apple is no exception to this. Look at how they've hampered the WebGPU process. Look at the history of their PWA support.
> I think this is the correct take from this.

The correct take is jail time for non-violent crime and no jail time for programmers who (regardless of whether we believe his story) killed someone?
Yup and that was me and my dad inside joke when I was a kid.
Time Machine at least used to have a ton of reliability problems.

I'm hoping that it's improved recently which I suspect would happen especially after Apple switched to AppleFS. Time Machine on HFS+ was basically hacks extending hacks extending hacks extending HFS.

It's pretty obvious that the wast majority of people in power right now are not very good at preparedness planning or rapid crisis response. This includes both parties. This also includes many state and local governments, not just feds.

People using this crisis to blame "the other side" and spout their usual talking points (now with even more hysteria) is getting really old, really fast.

As someone with a long term interest in blogging/media/publishing, I tend to gravitate towards such headlines, but I'm struggling to grasp the author's point in this piece?

Did someone tell them "blogging is dead" so they went out and wrote a 500 word defense? And while I do agree with the conclusion, some data would have been nice to review, like the golden age vs. second golden age. Something more than just pure conjecture.
Imagine the news was running a sensationalized story about "Man dies after drinking Diet Coke. Diet Coke can kill you!"

Except then the comments all point out that the man had PKU, and that Diet Coke won't will you unless you have PKU. And that virtually everybody who has PKU already knows they have it. That the typical person has nothing to worry about from Diet Coke.

Would you object to the comments pointing this out? Would you say they're blaming the person who died? Or would you just say that they're contextualizing a very important piece of information that the news is overlooking to sensationalize its story.
I wish the world could move on from AES. We have ciphers that are nearly as fast without requiring specialized hardware, just generic SIMD. Imagine how fast a ChaCha ASIC could run!

This isn't it. It has nothing to do with China, these could have been made in the USA over the course of years, and stockpiled in some giant DR warehouse somewhere in the USA that the USG runs currently for weapons designed to wipe out cities.

The USG doesn't because it isn't a priority to the people in power.
> It would require some serious education before the public wakes up to the dangers of private companies running amok with their data.

Exploitation is the best education there is. Everything is fine until it isn't. One day, companies and governments are going to start doing things with personal information that are unacceptable to even the average person. By then, it will probably be too late.
> Stockpiling medical supplies is a pimple on the US federal budget.

We aren't just lacking medical supplies though. We also lack hospital capacity.

> . Its a strawman to suggest its 'huge investments'.

I was responding to parent comment that said "really bad things that might never happen."

Surely just medical supplies don't cover all bad things that might ever happen?

> you know, doing the right thing.

You mean ppl don't have suffiencnt information to judge if a politician is doing the right thing?

also, whats with all the name calling. Ok maybe its not "huge" investment, I don't know what the level of investment is to prepare for all things, but neither do you. "stupid people" vote too.
I hope these kinds of articles go viral. I know too many people about that age that aren't isolating and distancing. I don't care that it's sensational if it saves some lives
My main issue with this rationale is that, in the vast majority of production environments (at least the ones I've seen in the wild, and indeed the ones I've built), updating dependencies for dynamically-linked dependents is part of the "release" process just like doing so for a statically-linked dependent, so this ends up being a distinction without a difference; in either circumstance, there's a "rebuild" as the development and/or operations teams test and deploy the new application and runtime environment.

This is only slightly more relevant for pure system administration scenarios where the machine is exclusively running software prebuilt by some third-party vendor (e.g. your average Linux distro package repo). Even then, unless you're doing blind automatic upgrades (which some shops do, but it carries its own set of risks), you're still hopefully at least testing new versions and employing some sort of well-defined deployment workflow.

Also, if that "security update" introduces a breaking change (which Shouldn't Happen™, but something something Murphy's Law something something), then - again - retesting and rebuilding a runtime environment for a dynamically-linked dependent v. rebuilding a statically-linked dependent is a distinction without a difference.
You can dislike the behavior all you want, and call it out as being immoral and stupid. You can fine people if they take risks that cause harm to others. But if you get in the way of the freedom to assemble and communicate like human beings without being straight up spied on that, to me, is crossing a very big red line.

Anyone who believes for a moment that the information they collect can't be deanonymized is deluding themselves. This is a precursor to some straight-up Orwellian evil.

> Seeing a program you wrote running directly on the bare metal is deeply satisfying to anyone who enjoys writing software.

This is it. I have been on this site for over a decade now and most the obscure stuff is popular here because it satisfies this criteria for some people. Its actually different for different people. For some its bare metal programming, for some its obscure languages like K, and for even others its some libraries.
I've seen stats in other threads (cuz HN is about 80% COVID threads these days) that implied that the Italian population was about 22% elderly, which is on the higher end. Compare that to about 11-13% in China, or about 17% in Canada.

That also meant they had, even during "normal" times, higher rates of fatalities from the Flu and extreme temperatures e.g. heatwaves killing elderly people with no AC or mobility, freezing in blizzards, etc..

And like most things in America, the military costs much more than other countries and does much less for its citizens. A good example is what happened when Yemen fell apart: China used its military to evacuate Chinese citizens[1], India used its military to evacuate its citizens[2], and the US told its citizens that they were on their own[3]. The American embassy even told Americans trapped in Yemen that they should seek out the help of India in order to get out of the country[4]. It's hard to escape the notion that for decades America has suffered under a political class that's been a mix of incompetent, self-serving, and uncaring.

Blogging is just another tool, and one that will probably never go away.

People who want to publish their voice often use a multifaceted approach. I have been directed to various blogs by personalities I discovered on social media. The blog serves as a permanent, long form version of their content.

If you're really looking to get your voice out there, you're probably posting to multiple places - Facebook, Instagram, blogs, YouTube, or whatever else fits your particular brand of content.

But over time memories faded.
