Correct; for that subset of cases this conversation is relevant but the same conclusions hold (lara)
I recommend avoiding steam buffers when you go nuclear. I had a setup with multiple storage tanks to hold steam, and that had buffer bloat because fluid/steam is hard to evenly distribute across many paths.
There seems to be a section in the article called "Why would we want to run WebAssembly outside of a browser?" that I think addresses what you're asking?

In the meantime you can use rclone, which is a fantastic tool for accessing cloud storage/ftp/sftp/anything with a single tool, including the ability to encrypt and cache data as well as mount volumes via FUSE.

Thanks for writing this up Ken.

Strangely enough, I was researching a related topic a few days ago. I was wondering if disassemblers did the right thing with these opcodes. I was wondering in particular if they could reproduce the exact binary after disassembly.

It turns out that most assemblers do not have a specific way to make a distinction. The gnu assembler (gas) does have a ‘.s’ suffix for mnemonics to differentiate.

At work we use docker-compose for legacy Rails (3!) development (we deploy on AWS ECS using Cloudformation templates).

I wasn’t involved in the setup but adding a new gem or upgrading one is very quick. We use a mounted volume to hold the gems as seen here: https://github.com/concord-consortium/rigse/blob/master/rail...
It's been like 5 years, but my impression was it took 5 seconds to find the solution and 15 minutes to implement it.
“Smart” isn’t a useful concept, or identity. I strongly recommend doing away with mentally picturing people as various gradients of smart. What matters in life is effort. Of course not enjoying chess has no relation to intelligence.

If you give it some time, chess is an extremely rewarding activity. I don’t meditate, but chess and cycling are quite close. It’s a hard departure from the speed of modern life.

One comment I will make, is that expressing ones dislike of an activity, rather than either staying silent or joining, is certainly not a good sign for being “a smart” though. Life is too short to be negative!
Is there any way to get data about where these people are going?
The vintage gear bubble is happening in other realms, too: Commodore 64s and Apple IIs regularly sell for $300+ – triple what they would have sold for ten years ago – while you can still get an Atari 800XL for $129.

Actually probably the highest temperature legitimately recorded, as the 1931 temp was probably wrong.
For tech workers, living in SF is affordable, but not worth it. If you move to a place and pay 1/4 of what you pay u can save for that house way faster. Question is after summer 2021 what will happen. In South Bay specifically in North San Jose you star seeing an alarming number of offices/buildings for lease... definitely a crash in that area is happening soon.
> One California government official told me that some public school teachers are being enticed away to teach a single child in more affluent areas, like Beverly Hills and Palo Alto—a scenario this person called “fucked up,” and one that’s proving to be a real problem for school systems.

Good for those teachers, and if it's causing problems for school systems maybe they should treat their teachers better.

I gave up on waiting for Google and ended up using Syncthing on HN's recommendation.
When she finally seems like she's about to reach some clarity in her accusations she reaches for a cheap shot regarding some joke that made a nazi reference on a private server.

Yes, hiring is almost universally an exercise in selection bias. If the candidate selection process does not closely result from the performance review process something is broken and things are selectively open to manipulation.
Agreed. The real trick here is knowing that, since we don't need to find x, we can sub in an arbitrary x and do the comparison numerically instead of algebraically.

Of course there's a tiny chance that one of the other equations would be equal at your arbitrary x value. If so and you get two 'right' answers just try again with a different x.
The author does address this. You basically sound out the symbol (eg cr br), or make a random pattern that’s convenient for your hands, up to you.

The thing that’s still a question for me is variable names. How does one steno out snake_case or CamelCase?

Are people writing a lot of scripts in PHP? I'm surprised to see it came preinstalled to begin with.
Pidgin used to work great with gtalk, then Google broke the standard.

No, but having a desktop client fully integrated with the popular desktop environments is a big creature comfort.
What happens when your car's A/C stops working? Most people think, I'll just get a little can of R134a, fill up the system, and it'll be good as new. Somebody said they did that once and it worked just fine, so it should work for you too, right? I mean, it says so right on the can, and there's YouTube videos of it and everything.

The trouble is, A/C is a complex system. There are moving pieces with specialized oils that oxidize and break down over time. There's a sealed system of pressurized gas. There's a pump, clutch, coils, fans, filter, thermostat, drain, belt, and electronics, Any of those parts could fail in a number of ways. Just to inspect it you need a custom gauge set, a tank of R134a, and a vacuum pump.

Etcd is about as complex as an A/C system. That is one of a dozen components of a Kubernetes system, before we get into custom integrations, which you will need about another dozen of.

The million dollars is to pay for everything needed to set up and maintain all of that, create the custom integrations that do not come turn-key from the community, create the custom integrations the community doesn't even have, integrate it with your development and deployment systems, business requirements, application-specific needs, and so on.

A million is an average. You can get away with less, just like you can get away with pumping a pre-pressurized A/C system with extra coolant: if you're lucky it won't break. When it does, I hope you have either a lot of time, or a lot of money to pay a consultant.
If the burst is for all apps at once, then yes. But if you need to handle temporary bursts of a single app among manh, then hosting them in a heterogenous cluster will give you benefit.
People think lawyers are just about making sure there are no loop holes, but its really not that. Lots of it is about making sure that two parties really agree on something including in the fine details.

It's easier to understand this if you know that the `php` binary bring invoked is the one shipped with the operating system. They've introduced similar messages for other interpreter binaries. I think the intent here is to say "relying on this copy of PHP is not recommended", or maybe "shipping a standalone PHP script to end users is not recommended".
I’ve always thought a reasonable pragmatic solution is to force configuration files to be loaded based on an optional env variable. Kubernetes can easily mount a complex configuration file via a volume or configmap (configmapgenerator is awesome). As long as the path is configurable and the env var is documented - it’s not so bad.
so what is that food?

the south is known for great bbq. chicago is the meat capitol, with deep dish and greektown. maryland for crab and maine for lobster, nyc has authentic jew-food that rivals what i ate in israel and jordan.

what is the food sf is known for? because if i literally ask anyone i know, the answer will be 'fusion.' or 'pizza' with ranch and lettuce in it.

you're known for california rolls. the big mac of sushi.

known doesn't mean known just to you.

you may have some good restaurants here and there that people can uber to. the rest is fusion of hipster and lsd microdoses.

in a city i want to live in, i walk outside and pick from 5 good places. you take an uber across town to those. people are leaving now that work doesn't require them there. to a cities with better food.

Anecdote from Hamburg, Northern Germany.
We have something like a "heat wave" here, with now 11 consecutive days above 30°C, which has never happened since the beginning of recording in 1891. Also very localized heavy rains with flooding and storms in the region. Where localized means tree fell onto overhead catenary of railroad and blocked mainline to Hannover.

Five kilometers away? Nothing. Funny times.

I interpret these events as the first manifestations of extreme weather events as projected by some climate models, due to more energy(heat) in the system.
I really hope they made good on that. Can we confirm that if we opted out, we indeed don't have a my health record, or whether they just set one up regardless?
Right, by “breaking changes” I mean across the ecosystem rather than in the Stdlib. There’s still a decent amount of code based on futures 0.1 and many libraries that depended on it required rework as a result.
My family and I are in group 5. We had a neat, but very small, apartment in SF. It was great when I was going to the office daily and my kids were in school or at the parks / Cal Academy / etc. With all of us at home and me trying to work... not so much.

It was sad leaving, but my productivity is massively up. Right now we’re enjoying seeing other parts of the west coast, while playing the waiting game. I want to know how much of a pay cut I’d face if I moved permanently (company hasn’t said yet), and I’m also nervous about the winter coming up and how different regions will handle what I’m afraid will be an inevitable super-surge.
Forget Google Drive. Just run Nextcloud on your own VPS. I put mine on a digitalocean VPS and it costs me $5 a month for ~20GB of storage.

Nextcloud has great sync clients for linux, iPhone and Windows. (It has clients for Mac and Android too, although I've never used them.) And google doesn't get access to my data or metadata.

The ability to read and write proofs lets me confirm truth independently, without needing to blindly trust someone's claims. As a quick analogy, if you know how to do arithmetic by hand, you can check whether an electronic calculator is faulty.

In my opinion, here are the most important mathematical topics in computer science which are related to proofs: Basic algebra, inequalities, functions, set theory, Boolean algebra, predicates, quantification (for-all & there-exists), weak&strong&structural induction, formal definition of big-O notation, preconditions & postconditions, loop invariants, termination, recursion, regular languages, Turing machines, computability.

Example: If you don't know the true definition of big-O, you can still identify common patterns by counting the number of nested loops. But there are non-standard cases (e.g. Euclid's GCD algorithm) and contrived pathological cases where you must appeal to the formal definition in order to prove anything.

Example: Somebody hands you a red-black tree data structure plus algorithms, in either pseudocode or real code. How can you justify that their work is correct and won't corrupt data? You need to do proof by cases, structural induction, and big-O analysis.

Example: You design a new algorithm for analyzing graphs which doesn't resemble anything in published literature. You can't just reuse other people's analyses, so you have to write your own.

Without understanding how to do proofs, you're doomed to either cobbling together high-level libraries or creating things with subtle flaws. You'd be unable to synthesize new knowledge or fill in small gaps, due to not grasping the underlying theory.
Okay, I worked it out – really confusing UI. The "Hide" option only appears on the vertical ... menu on certain screens, not others. The "Headlines" page displays it, so do "Sections" and "topic" pages, but not search results. I was trying to find it on a keyword search result page, which is why I couldn't find it anywhere.

Also, blocking a source hides it from "Headlines"/"Sections"/"Topic" pages, but not from keyword search results pages. You'll still get your blocked sources displayed in those. (Confusingly, when you search for "brexit", you can get back two different "Brexit" topic pages, which have the same title but different pictures, or you can get a keyword search results page, which behaves differently.)
According to this, Seattle rents doubled from 2010 to 2016 and have been fairly flat since then. SF seems to follow basically the same curve: up 1.5x from 2010 to 2016 then flat-ish.

Rust by design tries to discourage you from using object-oriented patterns. Not saying you can't write games with it, but it'd look more similar to C than C++.
I'm pretty sure this is just bad wording, and what they mean is "using the bundled PHP version isn't recommended".

Interestingly, it does exist as a fuse driver, as can be seen in ChromeOS if you try to open a file (say a PDF) from Drive in the browser, it shows a file path of /media/fuse/.../ . Google have just chosen not to release it publically.

I agree, but it seems like "poor area" means something different in SF. Most cities don't have any areas where the sidewalks are littered with needles and human feces.
I appreciate the feedback. My Canadian coworker was naturalized about 5-7 years ago.
My background: I’m a technical person who can get around Unix/Linux, work with file permissions, shell, databases, etc., comfortably. Yet, I have to agree with the author and her observations, especially after my trials on macOS.

> Here’s what I know now: running WordPress locally is a nightmare. Successfully figuring it out was way harder than it should have been.

I tried XAMPP recently after a long, long time (this is on Mac). After the initial steps of creating a database (not a problem for me), the database users and modifying wp-config.php, I faced all the errors the author writes about and more, and had to search online for solutions. Updating WordPress core fails due to permission issues. Cannot install plugins or themes from the dashboard because of permission issues. Heck, even uploading media files, like photos for example, for a WordPress post requires permissions to be handled. Even the location where the site is stored has to be mounted first if you’d like to explore, modify files, etc. Don’t even get me started on the black box that is ProFTPD to configure FTP access to the site (neither the ProFTPD site nor the StackExchange Q&A sites were very helpful)!

All this would be forgivable if the documentation was adequate. But I found the XAMPP site’s documentation to be really thin and sparse. One would think that the most popular blogging engine (WordPress) would be included in the documentation. But no, they just wash their hands of by pointing to Bitnami for installing apps, and that didn’t work for me either.

I can understand the XAMPP team focusing only on the basics, but the project has been around for a very long time and should cater to what most users may be using it for.

I recall that XAMPP (and the Bitnami stack) used to be easier to work with. Or maybe my memory of it isn’t good enough.

I also tried MAMP and gave up within minutes (forget about the free trial of MAMP Pro and upgrading to it).

All in all, XAMPP was a total disappointment and a very frustrating experience. I can only deeply empathize with the author who doesn’t seem to have as much exposure to dealing with systems at a lower level as I’ve had.

Right now, I would discourage anyone from trying XAMPP and MAMP (both on Mac; I don’t know if they’re vastly better on Windows or Linux). Just go with an online host with a good control panel and stop wasting your time.
> Terms like ponzi scheme or piramid scheme (it seems to contain elements of both) do apply.

How so? Bitcoin doesn't pay people out of the proceeds of other people buying in. Its value is solely a function of demand and scarcity.

Sure compare it to beanie babies, tulips or gold. Speculation may be stupid, and it may very well end up with most people losing their money when the bubble collapses. But it doesn't have very much in common with pyramid schemes or ponzi schemes.
It won't, I agree. but won't it help auditing compliance and enforcement after agreement has reached?
> culture: there is no culture. culture was when i lived in versailles. sf is all snooty people with no content, trying to show off. culture is down to earth, with class.

So I'm in the South Bay and only visit SF once in a blue moon now that I've got a family, but when I was younger & single there were quirky events that I've never seen in any other city. Things like Bring Your Own Big Wheel, Bay to Breakers, a random pillow fight with thousands of attendees (I guess San Jose has this as well, but it only drew a few dozen), scavenger hunts that covered multiple city blocks, poetry readings in the unpermitted basement of an antique shop, a game fair where indie game developers tested out their street games on the public, Carnivale, the Folsom Street Fair, etc. Maybe it's gotten too expensive since and this all moved out, but at the time it was worth making the trek up from the South Bay just for the events that you couldn't get anywhere else.
Ah, I did not notice that the article was written by Bruce Schneier. I need re-read the article now. Weird how trust works.
This seems to be the lesson of Google. If you depend on the service, find someone else and pay them. Too many services are decommissioned, and if they are replaced it often is very different. Outside of search/email, it is a risk
Is a client even required? If Drive were to implement a sufficiently-secure NFS connection, isn't that enough?

If I could NFS-mount Drive from within fstab, Google would earn even more of my money.
I have. I set up an iptables firewall rule that allows access only from my home IP.
Have you read their complaint?

Google specifically stepped in and had OnePlus cancel a deal with Epic which would have allowed their sideloaded app to be included by default with their phones. They also prevent other companies from making such a deal with Epic.

Epic also tried to sideload the app at first but the OS specifically warns you that it can steal your information and heavily discourages users. That's fine in a general sense but it's not possible to get whitelisted nor is it possible for users to get automatic updates after going through it once. And when they do get an update, they have to go through the same bs again each and every time.
Google also promised a tool to migrate regular accounts to GSuite accounts on Google Plus, since GSuite accounts weren't supported when Google Plus launched. (What kind of lunatic company would support its paying customers? I still can't leave Google Play reviews for the same reason).

I naievely kept using my regular account, even when GSuite accounts became possible, because of course Google would deliver on this promise. Never happened. Seven years later, Google Plus shut down.

This reduces the frequency and duration of pauses, and makes the presentations more engaging. The goal is to be modifying text just a bit slower than people can keep up with, and taking explanatory pauses after dense changes.

Supporting all the weird combinations of kernels and desktop environments and such must be a pain. There was an (internal only) FUSE client, but, as a good google3 binary, had a ton of internal stuff linked, and those can't get out of corp desktop/laptops (might not even work, who knows).
