If you look at the aerial view, you can spot the neighbors homes that did not make it and the edge of the city dike now in the back yard. Many houses flooded. Heartbreaking when you saw folks trying to have a fire truck flood their failing dike with clean water rather than have the sewage/etc fill the house.
Yes and keeping the order of application. I actually played with this for a bit. Early Solid let you basically codify mutations you could send in as data. I thought it was interesting to do something like Redux where instead of producing the next state you produced the mutations that would be applied, and then applied them at a granular level instead of diffing. But when you add time into the picture you actually have keep track of more. I'm not saying it's impossible to tackle this just the people I know who have been working at this always hit limitations where they need to fall back to diffing anyway. I think it would take some doing to determine where the book keeping cost would be worth it. It is rarely as simple as more granular is better.
Jobs + weather. Put both of those in the median american value and the city would become a desert in a year.
If you (like me) enjoyed the previous version, which discussed Debian 8 Jessie, and are mostly interested in checking out what's new, the commit history might be a good place to start: https://salsa.debian.org/hertzog/debian-handbook/-/commits/b...
I appreciate the clarification Sophie. :) Sometimes quotes just don't come through well in translation in finished articles.
There are multiple Geneva Conventions, true. One of them deals with POWs. Other Conventions deal with other war-related topics. If you want to be technical about it, the one prohibiting the use of gas is formally known as the Geneva Protocol.

I linked to the CWC because that is the relevant international convention allowing for the use of tear gas in non-military contexts. IOW, the GP creates the ban, but the CWC provides an exception.)
As an example, the VA GOP yesterday called for Lee Carter, a member of the VA house of delegates, to resign for even suggesting cutting police budgets.

Very interesting read.

I find law 12. the law of line extension speaks to the current apple product line. There used to be a single phone they made, today there are 4 to choose from.
Climate change: May was sunniest calendar month on record in UK
It's not remotely the definition of the word public. By that logic, your front yard is public property if you let your neighbors on it.
Thanks, that still seems to be a reach as to the cause that they became police originally though. Though the studies seem to disagree with each other, it could be indicative of why they remain police.

I'd argue though that working in a profession that is inherently violent at times and in which you see the worst in people can't be good for your mental health, not to mention potential PTSD from some of the things that police witness. Family abuse is absolutely not good and should be looked into/stopped, but correlation doesn't necessarily mean causation.
The Shuttle was never designed for operations outside of LEO. It performed the role it was designed to fulfill beautifully. The reusability wager didn't pay off and the Shuttle was expensive as hell but by golly was it capable. Nothing can compare to its combination of capabilities in putting/retrieving payload, being able to service assets with RMS, and the size of the crew it could carry and provide them a relatively comfortable environment, space lab, operational freedom it provided in extending margins of errors due to OMS and aerodynamic reentries, etc.
One reason for this is because once elected, there is very little that the population can do to hold the official accountable.

You can’t remove officials for not fulfilling their promises. They can also delay until it’s too late by saying, “I’m working on it.” Then once out of office, they are accountable for nothing.

Job safety is built into the position for good reason. However, it’s been perverted to allow officials to do whatever they want. Fixing this balance is not simple, but I believe would be a crucial step towards realizing a functional democratic system.
In Austria, where I live, thats also the case.
How about as part of the tech world you are part of the global community.

If you think "taking a stand against X is more important than sharing tech knowledge" then it needs be well thought out before you shut down your global "sharing tech knowledge" over that issue.

Or people like me think you are just part of the vileness the makes Twitter work where everyone is just part of the lynch mob, without thought jumping on, looking for outrage, and a reason to hurt people rather than help people.
It is a well established phenomenon of our time that the financial system has deviated very far from real measurements of value, like GDP.

> Nobody would be investing money in these companies if they didn't think there was a good chance of them becoming sustainable long term.

This is an idealistic view of the stock market.

People invest in companies because they hope to make a return on those investments. They believe that the stock will do well, not necessarily that the company will become sustainable long term.

It is believed that those two things should be linked, but this article and the commenter are making the assertion that that fundamental link (between real value and stock market value) has been broken.

That stock price is no longer indicative of a company's long term sustainability.

You've constructed a straw man regarding policy "why shouldn't you allow an unprofitable company" and are arguing against no one.

We aren't talking about policy or regulation at this point, we are simply laying out the context of reality. We are simply getting our facts straight.

The fact in discussion is simple: is the stock market still linked to economic sustainability? Or has it's fundamental vision and purpose been distorted over the past few decades?
So, it is a bug in macOS or iOS? Both?
Please don't strawman the IA's position. They suspended the waitlist of (parts of) their library collection for 3 months during a global pandemic that necessitated the closure of physical libraries. The books still cannot be redistributed freely and will have to be returned.

Was that legal? Possibly not, so authors and rights holders do have a grievance. But personally, I'm going to judge anyone who's going to the courts instead of merely opting out.
Good point. With your comment for perspective I am now laughing at my interpretation. :)
Agree, currently there's a lot of stimulus in the market and also the courts are not open so foreclosures and bankrupcies can't happen.

I am actually setting up a fund to buy distressed properties, if anybody is interested just hit me up (email in profile)
I'm surprised (and happy) that you added ts-liveview. I'm working on 1.0 moving to use primus.js instead of raw websocket for better (dis)connection handling, and trying to make the integration of s-js less noisy.
That exists in the form of "vanity" publishers and "hybrid" publishers, which tend to rip off their clients, instead of providing actual value.

In addition, people tend to vastly underestimate the difficulty of building a successful marketing campaign to actually sell books, in addition to the extreme difficulty of actually building relationships with distributors. Successfully selling a book is not that different than running a business. There's a lot more you need than just coordinating a "supply chain."

I feel like there are a lot of "experts" on publishing in this discussion, but few actual publishers who know the reality of the business.
This is a "who shaved the barber?" puzzle; that situation should be forbidden by the content of the tweet - they're not allowed to tweet again until after they've given notice.
Thanks for putting this down. I too have sweet memories of original article. After reading ESR article, I chose Python over Perl few years back, and kick off my career. But the most important thing article taught me is about hacker mindset.
While I agree with the sentiment, operating at scale does mean that consumers often get lower costs.

Smaller players would also be far less likely to enter less lucrative markets.
> Anecdotal, but it seems like every company that has ever received the anti-Midas Touch of Carl Icahn has had some kind of negative consequence.

That's no surprise - it's literally what he does for a living. He damages companies, gets a quick payout and moves on. It may not be illegal but it's revoltingly malevolent and sociopathic. The world would be a better place without him and his likes.
You will likely find that the license agreement you paid for, allowing you to use a digital ebook, disagrees.
edited. And definitely agree on the second point.
My first encounter with something like a package manager was CPAN for Perl... maybe they were the pioneers
It IS generally available. If you are acting on the behalf of a private organization (and not a public one) the corporation that you work for is responsible for your actions (short of breaking the law) and not you.
Oh really? Seems wrong to me.
Michael Schulson's 2014 Aeon essay, "If You Can't Choose Wisely, Choose Randomly", is an excellent exploration of this concept:

... Above all, chance makes its selection without any recourse to reasons. This quality is perhaps its greatest advantage, though of course it comes at a price. Peter Stone, a political theorist at Trinity College, Dublin, and the author of The Luck of the Draw: The Role of Lotteries in Decision Making (2011), has made a career of studying the conditions under which such reasonless-ness can be, well, reasonable.

‘What lotteries are very good for is for keeping bad reasons out of decisions,’ Stone told me. ‘Lotteries guarantee that when you are choosing at random, there will be no reasons at all for one option rather than another being selected.’ He calls this the sanitising effect of lotteries – they eliminate all reasons from a decision, scrubbing away any kind of unwanted influence. As Stone acknowledges, randomness eliminates good reasons from the running as well as bad ones. He doesn’t advocate using chance indiscriminately. ‘But, sometimes,’ he argues, ‘the danger of bad reasons is bigger than the loss of the possibility of good reasons.’ ...

If, like me, you're trying to parse this terrible headline and wondering when Trump started posting on Facebook, he doesn't. It's a reference to Twitter, which Facebook owns.

Never ascribe to fake news what can be explained by sloppy journalism.
>In some places Facebook is an official channel of communication between people and governments and other public institutions like Universities. Their use of Facebook, or other social media platforms, in this way makes it more like a utility than a private platform.

By that logic, a university posting a flyer on a coffee shop corkboard makes that corkboard a public forum and the coffee shop must allow anybody to post anything on it.
You don't need to bet, there is plenty of data to back that claim. The biggest beneficiary of rent control are middle-class earners with artificially low rent. The low-income and retired renters are ancillary beneficiaries.

Here is one of many papers: http://www.socsci.uci.edu/~jkbrueck/course%20readings/gyourk...
It is atypical, yeah. It's a speed-reading app, so it flashes a new word on the screen every nth of a minute, where n is how many words per minute you want to read.

Still, I'm tired of using a normal web application and feeling the UI lag when I type, etc. I suspect that if you start off with a project like Svelte or Solid, you'll have a longer runway on your app before you get to that level of suck.
I have a pretty clear memory of the JailbreakMe 2/3 bugs (which, for anyone else reading, were bugs that could be used from the web browser, and so were of the form "you click a link or have some evil iframe and are pwned") being fixed in six days (which I mentally cataloged as the minimum turnaround time Apple could muster).
Just like everything else, it's a two way conversation. The discounts have to happen with the tenant's knowledge and agreement. If you don't like it don't rent from a landlord who plays those games. If every landlord is playing extreme games with discounts to game the rent control law, it only points to the deeper problems that we all know exist but refuse to fix.
And it's a much more interesting topic than trying to figure out if I'm an Apple astroturfer, which in itself is strange because the top comment in this very thread is me pointing out that Apple unpatched this bug in iOS 13…plus it's against the site guidelines, which is why I assume that the comments have been flagged.

But back on topic: there are some devices that do include a specific partition for updates, but I don't think it's usually for user storage, but for "seamless updates": you install the OS to the other partition, reboot, and the partitions swap and you have a new OS up and running immediately. I actually doubt that any manufacturer would forgo not counting that as part of their user storage, unfortunately…
Hence buying a used car instead...

As I read the first five items on that list, each one made me think more and more "then isn't the answer to not write distributed systems?". But then the last item gives almost the opposite advice: "Extract services".

If you don't need (micro)services, don't build them -- they only introduce complexity in communication between components, build tooling, diagnosing issues, and they slow things down. It's amazing what you can do on a single machine, or, beyond that scale, a simple two-tier architecture with a few web nodes and a big SQL database. Systems like that are much cheaper, more predictable, and easier to understand. Of course, if you're Google or Facebook scale, distributed systems are (a) necessary (evil).

Additionally, I'm not sure his last point "extract services" is a good rule of thumb. If something can be a library, it'll be much simpler as a library. Don't make an "email service" when you can just import an SMTP library, wrap it in a couple dozen lines of code, and be done with it.
And yet, these investors still aren't putting a lot of money in companies working on the stereotypical moonshot "big problem" ideas that Silicon Valley is derided for not caring about- curing cancer, fixing climate change, fighting poverty, inventing fusion power, etc.
Definitely a great point. One of my favorite other examples is the Dune soundtrack[1]. This example uses the AdLib gold which uses the OPL3/YMF262, I believe.

Certainly in many other contexts, the parent organization has been found responsible for negligent or illegal behavior by their employee for civil damages. That's one of the reasons for drug testing and background checks.
SliceLine did it better
at least the iOS patch is "only" 44 MB
Because that agent is acting on the authority of the DMV, and the DMV is responsible for how their authority is wielded. The intent is to keep organizations from facing repercussions for bad behavior by just throwing the individual actors under the bus. Of course this only works out if the organization itself can be held accountable, and forced to properly deal with internal troubles.
No way. Berlin passed a FIVE YEAR RENT FREEZE in January. Our protections aren't on the same planets as Germany's.

Fixes were pushed out for all four major platforms today, presumably as the affected system call is available on all of them.
Thanks for the explanation! This seems very plausible to me, but I wonder why that is so.

I can understand trucks retaining their value, as there is a clientele who drives them for utilitarian reasons (though not necessarily the ones who buy them new). I can understand why luxury sedans devalue quickly, as they are bought for prestige.

But it is not self evident to me why SUVs would have superior utilitarian value to regular sedans.
gzipping documents is a long tradition. Most common text reading tools (cat, more, less, grep, diff, and some more) has "z" variants which work on gzipped files directly, without ungzipping them.

Most of the tools bigger documentations come in man and info files. If there's an even bigger, additional documentation, it comes with -doc package (like apache2-doc).

Otherwise every package comes with some basic documentation and Debian specific changes file, most of the time.

Debian's specifics on packaging is very strict. You just cannot package something and publish in the main repo.
It is, but it doesn't affect the base rate, so it allows a bigger increase when things get better again, because the increase limit is a percent of the current rent (not including discounts).
I think this is not a problem specific to python packages, but a general problem of how we compile C/C++ software. There is no concept of packages and compiling one thing often requires installing a -dev package of some other library.

The issue is that lack of packaging C/C++ world spreads to all other communities that depend on them.
People liking their tech offices won't be the deciding factor here. The tech companies like the prospects of hiring people on completely different terms now, outside of the Bay Area. Expect things to change dramatically.
It's an interesting problems. Doctors have liability insurance for this reason basically, which just pushes healthcare costs even higher, and creates this very opaque system of accountability and care quality.
Cynical view: Sony cancels publicity event because it knows it would get no (or limited) publicity.
How much did Icahn lose on his equity position in Hertz? If he owned 39%, that loss would have been on the order of a billion dollars.

So there's probably more to the story than your comment suggests.

"post-scarcity"

There will be no more "scarcity" when the "value" of the time required to produce these works reaches "zero." Until then, there will be plenty of scarcity.

By the way, I think we would all need "immortality" in order to reach that point.

So, yeah.

Not going to happen.

Ask HN: What makes an API enterprise grade?
Hello HN! I have been learning about API development, and as part of that I'm hearing about "enterprise grade" API. How can we go about defining what makes an API "enterprise grade"? Is there such a thing?
It's almost as if the law was amended by real estate lobbyists...
That's not a good argument. That an extreme is bad doesn't make the opposite extreme good. I could easily have a house that is too large, but I wouldn't want to live in a box.
Yes, I think it should be an investigatory agency with subpoena power. It could replace the IA department at offices.

We currently allow PDs to investigate themselves, which is a mockery of justice.

It ends at subpoena and arresting power. The courts would mediate disputes as they already do.

Honestly don't think the author is even trying to sell it over React/Ang/etc. Just something he built to make his life easier and open sourced it.
This is great news!

However, note that the OpenSSL API compatibility layer doesn't support TLS 1.3 yet. So, if you're using Nginx or something else that doesn't use the LibreSSL API, you're out of luck for now.

Absolutely, and this occurs all the time. Something happens in the US especially, but perhaps also Western Europe and it is spun into a huge issue. Something worse happens somewhere and it is barely reported, if at all.

This is the sad irony of making a huge fuss of "black lives matters" when really they (or non-Armerican/non-Western) don't. What matters is the American village.

This is virtue-signalling and will actually anger, as it always does, many who are not part of the worthy few.
It does create an object with that base class for the allocator but returns an object of the type you want from the allocator, using a template (Region::Instance<T>). So the API user only sees the types it's interested in.
Well, we could have all citizens share the same rifle. Is that what you had in mind?

More realistically, a good engineer will always have a backup.
I really can't understand how some people see that but don't think capitalism is broken. I really hope we can fix it, because the alternative is worse, but I'm becoming more pessimistic as time goes on...
Free exercise for almost any religion includes going to the places or worship, without restrictions. At the time the article was written, there was no video conferencing so it was definitely considering going to the church as part of exercising the religion.

That's not part of the free exercise clause, that's part of the establishment clause. Yes, it's confusing. That's why lawyers get paid the big bucks: to spend days going through the laws, cases, and volumes of written literature on complex topics like this.
And if you want some leverage, borrow against your stock with a credit line.
Have you been there since 2014? It was fully renovated and there are a TON of tables and chairs in the main hall now. Including desks with power.
I agree. But the person I'm responding to was advocating for legal action. Unfortunately, I don't see what legal action to take.
Yep. I agree in practice Solid has some work to do here. The basics are think are reasonable in that we are dealing with your expressions in the template and real DOM nodes. So just drop a breakpoint in that sucker. Sort of return to how simple that was in jQuery/Backbone days.

It never is that simple mind you. I have an open issue around Dev Tools etc... We need to do better given the expectations of modern JS libraries.

I wonder if the hangars in the jungle came from the script or from the memories of someone who experienced the view from Temple IV at Tikal. I had the surreal experience of standing atop Temple IV and suddenly recognizing this was the camera location of Star Wars rebel base landing scene while being enveloped by the smells and sounds above the rain forest canopy, especially the cacophony from the howler monkeys.
