My motivation is to prevent accidental UB. Let p be array of length 10. Currently, p + 15 - 10 is UB so you must parenthesize p + (15 - 10). This seems preventable and unnecessary.
I always thought that 8 hours was the best amount of time to sleep but so often I'd still wake up feeling groggy and tired.

Sometimes I'd go to bed at 1AM and wake up around 7AM and feel so refreshed and awake. What's up with that? Turns out, getting 8+ hours of sleep is less important than waking up aligned with your body's sleep cycles, which for most people is every 90 minutes.

I created Wake Up Time so I could quickly see the best wake up times before setting my alarm each night. Because time math is hard... Especially when you're tired.
I was lucky enough to attend classes by Susan Eggers and Hank Levy in UW's professional master's program back in 2002. Not only amazing researchers but also great teachers.
All of our windows desktop machines use it as their login controller, but I’m not 100% sure of the implementation- it is likely there needs to be a local login server because from what I remember of Windows it’s using WINS to find a logon server, and that I think must be local.
>People work overtime in every industry to meet deadlines, it's not just engineers. The only question is whether or it's good for you financially.

The article did not speak of "overtime", it was said that the engineer was asked to complete a task that would take a month, in 3 days (regardless of whether the author was exaggerating or not). What in "every" industry is called "labor exploitation" and is not something normal.
>Your argument that government intervention is bad for millennials is flawed. Without government intervention such as eviction moratoriums, unemployment benefits and federal government stimulus checks there would have been massive homelessness. Prior to the pandemic 40% of americans could not cover a $400 emergency, all of these people would have been on the street without the government stepping in. At one point the unemployment rate as 15%. I cant really see how this would have been good for them.

It wouldn't have been "good for them" but it will hurt a hell of a lot less than when (at some undetermined point in the future) things come crashing down so hard that the government can't prop them up.

We're preventing fire crackers from going off and eventually we're gonna get hit with a bomb.

Right now the Fed's back is pretty close to the wall in terms of policy levers it can pull. Imagine a financial crisis comes along in 2021 or something, we could really be screwed.
I can think a few:
- Deposits (you would want your money back)
- Mortgages and loans (money lent was your deposit, you might want to ensure that borrowers observe a certain criteria to ensure repayment, and priced accordingly so the loan pool can cover eventual defaults)
- Preventing Money Laundering and Terrorism funding
- Forcing Banks to provide you with enough data about investment products so you don’t end up gambling your savings on leveraged derivatives

Having worked in Financial Services for 20 years (both Banks and Fintech), and being aware any broad generalization is unfair, I can tell you a lot of the flack Banks get it’s due to regulations they would shed on a snap, while fin techs choose to skip them altogether.

Lending to unbanked, unprivileged minorities sounds great on The brochure and is hard to argue against. The part they leave out is the money they are lending belongs are the lifelong savings of a 80-year old couple snared on the promise of safe, 2% returns, and then tell them than most micro-loans defaulted and their lost their capital.

Rules are there for a reason. They are cumbersome, archaic and way too many, but If you remove them, consumers will end up hurt.

And the US Banking system is not a great benchmark as it is borked.
Ha, this is like the corporate version of "don't talk to the police." I've been in awkward situations where a pretty female colleague was annoyed by my dry professional attitude despite her making obvious signs, so she approached me and said point blank that I should take her somewhere on a weekend. The awkward part was that I had to maneuver from that situation out, because you know, the risk profile of that weekend trip would be strongly not in my favor in the long run.
> It should be possible for privacy-concerned users to provide another form of identifier (e.g. a username or email address, as is the standard for social networks) instead of their phone number.

This expands the search space, without actually solving the problem, I think. The problem exposed by the study shows that phone numbers have a small enough search space to be readily enumerable. Adding email addresses and/or usernames just means the same attacker would need to move to well understood JackTheRipper/Hashcat style dictionary attacks.

I think to thwart these types of attacks, every user identifier needs to be something very like a GUID (and a proper long one like 128 bits and a totally random one, not a hash of their phone number or email address).
> Wouldn’t the large number of Americans in their 20s living in their parents homes have affected this?

Yeah, in many ways a more interesting figure would be median adult income, but household (which has real comparability problems across time) is the popular number.
I have got all major titles digitally at super cheap rates on PSN sales. God of War at $10, Horizon Dawn Zero at $12, Spiderman at $20, Devil may Cry at $19. You just gotta check r/PS4Deals subreddit everyday to know when a new sale is up.
It's not anti-intellectual to say that arguments based in moral philosophy and ground-level polling hold their weight against a simulated outcome.

The whole premise of predicting through data is one based in rendering legible that which is not, creating order from chaos. This means that it does equally at well at reinforcing biases as it does at revealing truths, because if you really want a certain kind of answer, you will find a way to make the data reflect it. Just look at automated stock trading, for one. It's easy to make it work in back-testing, and then it goes live and the market does something totally different. Grip sand too tightly and it will simply slip through your fingers.
LOL, your whole sentence is absurd. First of all, you have apparently no idea what IAM is or what it does, otherwise you would never say something like "home grown, self hosted IAM solution". Second, putting "home grown, self hosted" together with "being axed if its down for 2 minutes" is very telling about your work environment. Actually, if it doesn't crash for 2 minutes, you were simply lucky. If you want to depend on luck for your job security, more power to you. But anyway, none of what you said makes any sense and isn't helpful to anyone here.
Does it add/edit any information, or is it just a proxy?
These sorts of threads seem to spiral down the drain rather quickly. There is a rather large disconnect between the opinions of most 20-40, 40-60, and 60+ year olds. I hope we find a way to bridge those gaps, understand where the real problems are, and find solutions.

For what it's worth, I'm 45 and I feel like the last 25+ years were filled with a lot more wealth and choices than when I grew up. I feel like expectations are higher than ever, and the number of things one needs to buy in order to have a complete life is higher than ever. There are many expectations, like owning a detached, single-family home, which do not seem practical in many highly populated regions. I feel bad for the younger folk, because they have inherited dreams which may never become true. That said, as the child of two parents who both worked hard at full-time, well-paying jobs just to provide a modest lifestyle for my family(home, but no cars, no college, etc), I feel like some in the younger generation are judging by an inaccurate yardstick.

The HN community, which is far, far removed from average America, is likely to feel even more bitter. They've often been sold on the idea that they are highly paid professionals, and they are, but their location(Bay Area, NYC, DC, Seattle, etc) prevents them from having the life they think that should buy them. Unfortunately with the way wealth is distributed geographically in the US, it is unlikely they will ever really feel that wealth until they relocate.
... Yes it is
That's a fairly convincing example. +1 to this change, then.

> Give people a half-baked product before it is ready for the market.

Sony already did that. Playstation VR has outsold Oculus by a very large margin. Its tracking is terrible, but "good enough" for basic stuff and the price point was great when it was released. The Quest is competitive now, but the PSVR grabbed a bunch of the low end market (5 million units worth) by being there first and having an established brand name attached.
Interesting to see such a good improvement. My questions is why the Fed cut interest rates in 2019. Everything i read is the economy is strong. Curious what the fed saw that warranted a drop in the interest rate.
I wonder if this subscription model can be sustainable for web applications that have recurring expenses like server and storage costs. Does anyone know any successful examples?

I have a feeling that conversation goes something like:

"Yeah, that's interesting and all, but I was thinking something more along the lines of a plucky tech whizkid sticking it to a surveillance state infiltrated by megacorporations. Maybe with some early 90s tech? Do we have an agreement?"

For those interested, here's the upper / lower half split chart on hourly wage growth going back to 2007.

Wage growth for the lower half had been consistently outpacing wage growth for the upper half since 2014.

Sorry to ask an annoying question, but do you have any kind of timeline for when this will ship?

It's depressing though how far apart the price point is from what Facebook can pitch it at. I am interested in use cases that would fit out an entire team with headsets but it's a non-starter at $1k+ and completely viable at $300 per headset. Made worse, sadly, by COVID where sharing equipment b/w team members is now pretty unlikely to be viable so we really need 2x the hardware.
You did yourself a huge favour by not playing SimCity 5. The sequel to SimCity 4 came out, and it was called Cities: Skylines.
You're right that the broken window fallacy is a fallacy when the economy is not in a depression, but it can be a bit more situational and complex than that.

When aggregate demand is "stuck" at a depressed level (high unemployment causes low demand, resulting in more low unemployment), the stimulus of war can actually help pull the economy out of its stuck position, even if the war is destructive. Of course, once it's no longer stuck, the continued destructive stimulus is just destructive.

There are better fiscal ways to pull the economy out of a depression than war, because most wars don't pay much in the way of dividends, unlike large scale public works. But even if the stimulus isn't a great ROI in "normal" times, it can have a high ROI in "depressed" times due to its ability to get demand unstuck.
I don't know if I think Helm is garbage but I feel like it's almost always more trouble than its worth. Most charts can be boiled down to just a couple resources and instead of sifting through its weirdo templates you might as well just look at the actual resource configs. It's almost always just a single Deployment or similar + RBAC.

I've actually been using Terraform to manage Kubernetes resources at my latest job, along with literally everything else. I don't even use alb-ingress-controller or external-dns or any of that. I just have Terraform make target groups from the service resources. It breaks a lot less.

You don't need a catch all for that, just give unique email addresses to each, and edit /etc/aliases.

NOTE: a few bits of info here, although someone mentioning ipchains means their comment is from an older time of course:

- use ipset for large sets of blocked IP addresses. That's what it's for, and it works well without slowdown, even on massive sets

- http://www.ipdeny.com/ipblocks/data/aggregated

This is a nice list of IP addresses broken down by region. Handy do download weekly, or monthly, and then dump into ipset.

- firehol is also a nice list to use, eg:

You can either take the view that the honesty is better or you can take the view that at least one party is sufficiently embarrassed by it that they don't proclaim it's a good thing and when they do it they hide it.

He just didn't pick the same one as you.
I came here to say this is mostly likely the cause.

We're looking at is households, and the easiest way to explain this jump is actually that the economy is more fucked than ever and more working age people are living together. If we consider the type articles you're referencing, that have been noting the migration of young, educated, working-age adults back to their parents homes in the USA-- we should very well expect to see a large spike in the reported median household income. The same growth would be true if more people were living in situations with roommates where ideally they wouldn't.

Here's the definition of a household from the linked article:

> A family household is a household maintained by a householder who is related to at least one other person in the house-hold by birth, marriage, or adoption and includes any unrelated individuals who may be residing there. A nonfamily household is a householder living alone (a one-person household) or sharing the home exclusively with nonrelatives.

Addendum: I'd like to note, that even if household size itself appears to be low; that's likely due to reproduction rates being on the decline as more people, on average, are having smaller families each year...
Sure, and power to you for doing that—but I've gotten these prices on physical games without checking a website every day; I'm not really one to chase down sales. Worst-case scenario, having a disc drive doesn't preclude buying digital copies, it just adds that many more options.
Hrmm, not consistent with Census Bureau current population survey which shows household size hitting a record low in 2019.

As we see, even pointing out this obvious fact would get you Damo.. I meant cancelled.
All the text was squished into the bottom. Once you scrolled up it would pull the text from this giant text-blob. It seems to have been fixed since.
If you buy a house worth 4x your salary (in the ballpark of average), a 25% decline in home value means you need to spend an entire year of labor just to break even, ignoring the obvious associated living costs. The decline doesn't matter if it's temporary, but they're not always temporary.

That sounds incredibly demoralizing.
Like you I immediately had disbelief. However to most people assembling a pipeline like the one you indicated is equivalent to a new layout engine.... it struck me as normal to use "from scratch" here.
It's not just HN. I think it's pretty fair to be concerned about facebook's tracking, given the level they already go to on their site. I just spent $1000 on a Valve Index, since there is no way I am strapping 4 facebook linked cameras to my head.

I remember decent programming in the 90s when I was a kid. I haven't watched the History channel as an adult outside of vacations in places that have cable (have never paid for cable television in my life) but the last time I was somewhere and it was on, probably back in 2017, it was nothing like what I remembered.

I suppose I'm meant to be disturbed by this apparent militarization of federal agencies, but I doubt NASA SWAT account for much if any of the civil rights abuses going on in America right now. Rather, most of that stuff is doubtlessly coming from the usual suspects (local cops, FBI, ATF, ICE, etc), not the oddball outfits.

Maybe instead I'm supposed to think these organizations are wasting taxpayer money on matters that are outside their wheelhouse.. maybe that's the case. I can see why NASA would need a security team but perhaps that could be more efficiently provided by another agency. The article doesn't really seem to make this argument though.

I suppose maybe I'm just being a grump and the article is meant for general edification with no agenda.
From a good manager of mine, "deadlines are cost control methods, unless we sent an email to a client or there's some pending legal requirement, those deadlines are to keep the costs of a project from skyrocketing".

2 years later, only two deadlines have ever been set in stone: the GDPR one and one we sent an email from Marketing about. I think he was right.
These numbers are from 2019, pre-COVID.
I find these approaches to be borderline abusive. I understand the desire to attempt to put people in another persons "shoes", but I find that this makes a broad assumption that the minority members "shoes" are in the worst state. That is, not being able to voice opinions while also being criticized is the worst state. It is a terrible generalization. I would only feel comfortable with this training if listening was the only requirement and reflecting and sharing opinions was encouraged for all.

If you have seen some of the videos of the older white woman (whose name escapes me) that used to give the blue eyed/brown eyed experiment her approach strikes me as being abusive. I understand what she is attempting to teach, but I deeply dislike her delivery. I feel that she is trying to scar (not scare, scar) people into compliance.
> Are you insulted by any business that has video cameras?

I'd surely be, if that business would have any business putting said cameras in my home, like DRM is deployed to police users on their computers and OS they are using - i.e. their private digital space.

That's the overreaching part in DRM being an overreaching preemptive policing. People get the concept of overstepping physical privacy for preemptive policing being unacceptable, so it's the same idea for the digital one.
It is disgusting how good Tailscale is. I mean that I am literally welling up with disgust thinking about it.
Definitely need some support for that claim. I've heard the opposite claim that poor Americans are better off (save healthcare) than poor in other countries. But like the above, that was hearsay and I'm not sure I would believe either claim without some stats to back that up.
Helm is amazing. If you are migrating legacy applications that rely on filesystem config, you can publish that config in a helm chart that applications require as sub charts. Gives you the ability to do centralized, versioned config management for legacy workloads going to the cloud

So adjusting for inflation, which tracks the relative buying power of the dollar across common goods and services, is not representing the cost of modern living?

I know it has some areas that may be under-represented, but in general it tracks the same changes in the power of the dollar across multiple categories. Changing what the inflation metrics track would make it an even poorer standard for comparison/tracking.

What would make a better metric?
I can see the argument. It doesn't seem like any more difficult to argue that user authentication is also user-hostile, regardless of whose machine its running on.

It's "a priori" btw.
Musks' Neurolink!
People measure many things. For example, you mention that debt isn't considered here; wealth metrics are widely studied, the poverty line just doesn't happen to be a wealth metric, but rather an income measure.

I am not sure I fully comprehend the remark "The poverty line has not scaled with the increase in expenditures associated with modern living." It adjusts with inflation, and the inflation metric tries to stay relevant: the CPI basket includes housing, medical treatment and drugs, tuition, TVs, cell phones, etc. I guess the criticism comes down to the idea that somehow a cell phone should somehow adjust from an assumption of 0 from times before cell phones were popular?

If we do something like that, it sounds really hard to get things right (CPI is already pretty hard to get right). What would it mean to say that standard of living improvements are outpacing alleviation of poverty? That sort of metric seems something suited for sophisticated research, not a standard government metric.

Another important thing to do, one might note, that addresses some of the concern about losing track, is to take a fixed proportion of people - e.g. the bottom quintile of income earners - and study various aspects affecting their lives. This is, as I understand it, really widespread.
You haven't tried this yourself.

I have.

Keyboard maps are on the host, not on the keyboard. Engravings on the keytops are meaningless and are not what determine how a key is understood. A (for example) U.K. 105-key keyboard and a French 105-key keyboard just look like two 105-key keyboards with all the same keys to the host.

Several common operating systems just combine all keyboard input from multiple plugged-in keyboards into one giant "union" keyboard and apply a single keyboard map to it.

I've been working on Linux/BSD software that allows individual different keyboard maps per keyboard, for my user-space virtual terminal system. It's achievable, but I've not encountered anyone else who has seriously attempted to make such a thing work, in the general case where arbitrary USB keyboards can be plugged in and out at runtime.
Go watch a couple of episodes of one of their flagpole show called "Mystery Of Oak Island". It's produced in such a formulaic fashion that it's mind numbing. 7 seasons later, the people still haven't gotten any closer to their goals.
