"Be sure to get up early and be there on-time" is hardly no access.

It's AI that's requesting special treatment. I think it'd be cool if the UK passed a law making it so, but it seems less cool if a trial judge decides unilaterally to go outside of the norms and allow it. Isn't AI's goal to make sure norms are followed?
Thanks, I learned much about the workings of ad space from reading it.
Moreover, the quality of Audible interpretations is rarely good. Once in a while, they drag you into dirty schemes, like interpreting only a portion of book, but selling it nevertheless (I am looking at you, Bruce Schneier, and your Data and Goliath so called audiobook).

It makes sense to treat search as something special; when people are looking for a service, they search for it. They won't see ads for that service on, e.g. social media because social media won't know they want that service.
On 64 bits malloc basically always succeeds, because you are very likely not running out of virtual memory. You can totally go ahead and malloc terabytes of RAM.

On 32 bits malloc is going to fail once your virtual memory space is full (~3 GB).

Error checking is somewhat redundant for most applications, since you're going to abort anyway, and if there are no pages available on access - well you're getting SIGSEGV anyway, just like you would accessing a null pointer (except on embedded devices). But beware of the exceptions. In C especially it's common to use null pointers as a flag... one of the reasons why new/delete in C++ is preferable; it throws and thus aborts when it fails, which you don't care to handle, so that's about perfect for a C++ exception.

This is a great point, there were many gravity powered devices before we had a good understanding of how or why gravity worked.
West coast wildfires are different for a lot of reasons. Brush fires under the redwood canopy rarely happen now, because almost all of the redwood canopy is gone. PNW fires look like upscaled christmas tree safety demonstrations, because the forests have been replaced by douglas fir farms. The fires are more intense and explosive now that water tables have fallen and soil retention has been compromised by continuous logging and terraforming.

Most of the modern west coast forest fires are a lumber farming problem of our own construction. Fires won't change that, as long as logging companies will be subsidized to harvest and sell the singed trunks for lumber and replant the same extremely flammable crop. The forests of the past are gone.
>How do you know they didn't?

Maybe they did, but the point I was countering was that they don't have responsibility, not that they have to stay. I.e., I disagree that you can ethically both shed responsibility and stay doing the job knowingly in an unsafe manner. If the end state is they only hire people who agree, it stands to reason both the engineers and managers share culpability. For those engineers who hold licenses, that becomes a backbone-stiffening measure. Not only do you approve said design, management needs you to in order for the design to be legal.

>They had data from previous flights showing O-ring degradation.

This isn't the same as saying they had data regarding the O-ring reliability at the low launch conditions of the day of the catastrophic failure. IIRC, the unique condition was the launch was occurring during previously un-encountered launch temps. "Raising concerns" isn't the same as saying you have incontrovertible evidence; that was the main crux of the decision. There will always be people raising technical concerns on these programs. Without good relevant data, schedule risk outweighed the un-quantifiable technical risk. It's been a while since I read the report so maybe I'm wrong on this.

IMO, Columbia is a better analogy. It was a known out-of-spec condition they decided not to mitigate because they were lulled into complacency
Don't they mark books as abridged or unabridged?
I think Microsoft is at the point we're the old guard is leaving and the new hip kids take over who mostly only plugged libraries together because they never needed to write assembly.

Maybe the knowledge of how to make backwards compatible systems is even slowly leaving with the old guard and they just will never know how to make it work ever again.

A colleague of mine is very active in Microsoft's GitHub repos and is complaining daily that no employee there seems to know how their own software works. He routinely needs to explain Microsoft employees that their ideas will not work because of $generic_windows_api_behavior.
if you think sf/ny/dc are interesting places to live i feel sorry for you. the cities are mostly delivery folk working for peanuts and everyone else walking around with earbuds in looking down or holed up in a tower with a guard. wealthy ppl just steal and commodify culture they don't create it. the forest is interesting, a cafe in a small town can be very interesting. everytime i'm in sf i feel something being extracted from me

As someone who has thought a good deal about contact discovery the mitigation techniques section is actually pretty interesting.
Quicksy.im, an XMPP client but based on phone numbers and with built in contact discovery, I developed ~2 years ago, already does very strict rate limiting, but the paper mentions some other techniques as well that I should probably look at.
Other than that just being a rather boring way to spend their time, what about their day-to-day is a bad habit in your mind?

Show HN: Locale.ai – Location analytics without code
Our team spent the last 18 months working with delivery, shared mobility and workforce companies and we realized the massive amounts of location data being collected mostly doesn't end up being used for decision making because it requires engineers or GIS Analysts to create custom dashboards and maps.

We tried to make getting insights easier similar to how mixpanel made it easier for marketers to do event analytics.

The point is that it's now a majority.
Those two aren't mutually exclusive.

If you don't know how to put in the hard work to get something like you want 'the right way' and someone keeps advertising that they have 'another right way' that can do all the same things, you can take the low road and by the time you see the trap you've walked into it's difficult to go back, or for some people even admit that mistakes were made.

There are all of these time horizons in Software Engineering where you externalize the costs of things to your successors. Several classes of bad decisions start to fall apart at 18 months, and unless those started at the same time you did, you might be able to grin and bear it until it's time for a new job anyway. I think there are classes of process or architecture missteps that might go 3 years (less confident of that time interval) before it comes off the rails, and for a lot of startups that could be the proximal reason you flame out, even though it's the symptoms that are more visible.
It depends on what "spent $1,000 on servers" means

If you bought (and own) servers, you must depreciate and amortize them. These are capital expenditures, aka capex

If you rented servers (e.g. AWS, GCP), you deduct the entire cost when it is incurred (or realized, depending on the details). This is an operational expense, aka opex

The solution would be simple: Stop supporting Apple. Don't release apps on their platform. As long as everyone is just blindly following their orders, nothing will change.

And change is possible: Microsoft didn't care much about developers and users when IE was browser market leader and look what happened.
I don't even care about iOS. I just despise your definition of value, since it's simply wrong and dangerous.

Speaking from the younger generations perspective, this is a great way to destroy the relationship with your adult children.

But the economic opportunities are much greater in the DC area than Richmond.
It's worth noting that a huge number of universities and colleges have shut their doors and doing online learning, which accounts for probably a large number of the 18-22 year olds and many of the 23-25 years olds.

Unemployment is a thing, but there are also many people who have gone home because they can't be social with friends during lockdown and for some, being social with parents is better than being alone.

And then there are people with kids who can't cope with the kids being around at home (instead of school) while trying to do work at the same time, so they use their parents' free babysitting services.

In short, there are many people who are choosing to be home for very valid reasons rather than NEET and economically forced to be home.

There really isn't enough data in this article to make much sense of how to interpret this. Numbers split out by reasons would be nice.

The CADT Model. Modern usually means they rethought the problem from scratch. Not a problem in itself, it's how progress is made.

However, in practice typically means that there are hundreds of edge cases not yet solved.
I did it. Spend the last decade trying to get into graduate school/graduate school. Finished up my phd this year as covid hit while I'm job hunting in industry. I couldn't justify spending my savings on rent.

So far, it's been mutually beneficial, I keep my savings to a minimum while I job hunt and I help around wherever I can.

It's also been great reconnecting with my parents as more mature person.

The web does not solve the problem identified in the post. Nothing prevents Google from releasing new versions of Chrome with insufficient warning, and breaking sites. An example of just that is https://www.theverge.com/2019/11/15/20966237/google-chrome-w...
There are tons of public facilities, parks, etc. that have restrictions for non-residents that have never been seen as an issue. The argument being that local taxpayers are the ones paying for the facilities and maintenance, etc.

For example, for my wedding reception we rented a barn in a park that's often used for weddings and other events. Since my sister is a resident of the city she was able to rent the barn at a discount, while non-residents would have had to pay significantly more. Never crossed my mind that such a thing might be "discriminatory" or "unconstitutional." I've seen plenty of similar things with public pools, out of state hunting licenses, library cards, and much more.

"Public" doesn't mean "free access for all," and that's independent of any alleged racial discrimination claims the ACLU is making.

I tried to confirm this for Cincinnati. Zillow reports that the median list price/square foot in Cincinnati was $131 in March 2019. In March 2011, it was $82 (roughly $93.20, adjusted for inflation). That is a huge increase proportionally, and that's only going back 8 years. I would be shocked if the increase isn't more severe going back to 1990.

Late to comment, but thanks for sharing this anecdote.

I've done some mentoring of junior developers in the past. Many of them get hyperfocused on levels.fyi and HN comments talking about $400K salaries from FAANG companies. This leads a lot of them to become permanently disgruntled, convinced they're being severely underpaid.

When I started mentoring, I never thought I'd have to cheer people up about $150-200K offers in medium cost-of-living cities. Too many people are convinced that $400-500K is an easy-button. This is especially true for people who coasted by at the top of their classes at average universities who aren't used to being anywhere other than the absolute top of their local community.
AFAIK that's how tor hidden services work. Your "address" is basically a hash of your public key.
Slippery slope fallacy. By this logic, 1 ms, 1 day, 1 year, and 10 years are all equivalent degrees of notice and the degree of complaints would persist.
Regarding development: I've had a growing belief lately that capitalism (local) isn't the worst thing about global economy. Rather, the global economy itself is what's bad. We shouldn't be comparing countries based on GDP, and money shouldn't be used as a proxy for success. Rather, we should find some way to measure the success of regions and people independently (ie, how successful they think they are) without using the success or failure or status of others as an input. Maybe we shouldn't even be comparing countries at all.

Makes me think of one of my personal rules when traveling. If I am needing help, I don't take it from someone who approaches me. I just say, no thank you. If I need help, I pick someone randomly and ask for help. The likelihood that they are a criminal is much less compared to someone who approaches me.

We don't hear about fomites anymore because it's awfully hard to encourage mask use when you tell people that the mask itself is a risk.
The difference is that notification spam on the web is allowed to escape the sandbox. Because of the punch the monkey nature of the web, I inadvertently clicked “allow notifications” on both PCWorld and Tom’s Hardware on different occasions - they both spammed me at least once a day.

Only allowing high class Palo Alto residents helps keep the littering down.

Other cities are free to run their own parks. The ACLU should sue them for mediocre decision-making, which has a disparate impact on their own residents.
A bit hyperbolic, perhaps. Still very bothersome.
You are conflating two independent phenomena here. One is the pandemic related pattern of young people moving back in with their parents. The other is the cultural judgment reserved for young people who never leave their parents home well into adulthood. I was addressing the latter.

> That said, most of the successful people I know moved out to areas with more opportunity and those that stayed behind (particularly those that live at home) are more likely to have 'personal failings' of some sort.

Sounds like you are almost defining "personal failings" as "unable to gain the skills to compete and thrive in a high opportunity area".

If that's the case, perhaps we should reconsider whether such a high level of achievement should be required in order for a person to establish a basic non extravagant life on their own independent of their parents.
This gets to one of the main issues. Opponents of DRM need an equivalent service (ubiquity of apps for listening, reliability of progress syncing, discoverability of new content) and they need to market it. Audible has become synonymous with audiobooks for many people, so alternate services need better marketing to reach those consumers.

Due to the culture, everyone will go out of their way to make you feel as independent as possible. Plus there's single day hotels if you want to have a room alone with someone who should not meet your parents yet. In the end, living with your parents then boils down to going to a restaurant with them on the weekends to honor your ancestors, but most of the time they behave more like roommates.
>However they do it the old fashioned way of political pressure and negotiation.

Jonathan Pollard would be the biggest contrary example.

Here's an article talking about all kinds of other spying that Israel done in the U.S., enough that: "The intelligence community would always be urging the highest level of threats, while the State Department would be saying, 'This is not going to go over very well, we can't give this kind of rating, because there will be certain consequences in terms of travel warnings and restrictions.'"

You mean all the entirely predictable situations, like guaranteed increase in sexual abuse and domestic violence? When this genius plan was announced in late winter, I couldn't help but think of all those poor souls who lost whatever safe space (school, library, job, whatever) they had that kept them away from an abusive person in their lives, who were now together 24/7 under psychological and economic stress. Of course, the spirit of moderation requires that we consider both criminal incompetence as well as sociopaths with grand visions for the "betterment" of humanity and our planet, as an explanation as to how we ended up like this.

FreeCAD definitely does not have the full feature set and is still quite rough around the edges but it is improving at a remarkable pace. You still have to deal with some silly things like multiple workbenches for the same thing, lack of decent (any?) part mating support, lack of huge databases of fasteners and standards and so on, but the fundamentals are there. It's pitched as a free replacement for professionals rather than for hobbyists, but the kind of features that make hobbyist CAD software easy to use are the type of UI design that's incredibly expensive so... you get what you pay for.

This is wild conjecture, but could it be that part of the trend of young people living with their parents is that the older generation has monopolized housing. The baby boomers have clamped down in a historically unprecedented way on the construction of new housing with height limits, environmental and shade analysis, obstructionism in local government, extremely high subsidized housing requirements for new projects etc etc. This has massively pumped up the value of their houses, but now their children can't find somewhere to live by themselves.
What they do in Shanghai is have the park inside the apartment complex. (小区, a small walled residential district containing usually several buildings as well as other amenities like bicycle parking and, perhaps, parks for little kids. Amenities vary with the ritziness of the complex.)
