> facing many of the same difficulties that prompted the Windows team to just run Linux in a hypervisor

If by difficulties, you mean implementing system calls, this is being kept tabs on here: https://wiki.freebsd.org/Linuxulator

One that comes to mind is FreeBSD's kqueue, which opens a file descriptor for every file watched [1]

So inotify, inotify_add_watch, inotify_rm_watch isn't started. Lots of applications need watching of changes on directories. Even plain old FreeBSD gets messed since a large webpack project is going to chew up way too much.

If you're interested in this type of system call across operating systems check out https://github.com/emcrisostomo/fswatch

On WSL1/2:

Namely in WSL1, there were serious issues with package systems like npm, node_modules/ would have file descriptors get clogged, and it took a full system reboot to get WSL working again: https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/1529. WSL2 Fixes it.

Thanks very much; quite helpful!

I was aware that my zoho mail is hosted in the U S. I did originally look at mailbox.org as well as as posteo and another European based provider but can't recall why I had discounted them. (None seemed horrible or anything like that; just zoho won it by minor margin.) The beauty of having my own domain is that if I'm unhappy, I can switch later on.
You have $50 billion in mostly grade separated transit coming, largely due to the work of a lot of volunteers from 2011-2012 setting Sound transit up for the ST3 vote in 2016.

What Sound Transit calls "light rail" is as high capacity as some subway systems. I named the nonprofit that led a lot of this organizing Seattle Subway because it got attention when we needed it, and it's true anyway. :)

I think your other questions are interesting, but it seems like you have an opinion and you're looking for a way to defend it. If you're actually curious about why we're building a subway network and aren't just looking for a way to disagree, let me know!

The same way we deal with all email validation. Verify it once at application signup, then rely on the precise verified form.

It is unrealistic to expect end users to get the capitalisation of their email address consistently right. It is realistic to expect it to be done right at signup, since in the best practice case this’ll include a verification loop.
I don’t think you could trust a volunteer football fan to control this remotely.

Losing 3-0? Oops the cameras pointing at the sky for the last 30 minutes. Penalty to the opposing team? Oops I slipped and missed it. Football fans are petty and do absolutely ridiculous things.

You’d have to pay them something or find some other way to incentivise them, and you’re back to square one.
I worked at a uBreak for a time and the manager encouraged us to mention they were signing a TOS regarding the phone repair, if they don't come pick up their device after 90 days they abandoned it, etc.

The receipt was really long and not like a normal checkout receipt.

Also part of the profitability of uBreak was selling broken components removed from devices (like good LCDs with broken glass) back to OEMs to be refurbished, so that's why they don't let you have the old parts back.
Can you provide a link to the "Senior Backend Engineer" position?
It all depends on the services you provide.

Some businesses would require huge up-front investments without the likes of AWS. DevOps costs might overwhelm you pretty quickly once stuff like compliance becomes a factor, for example.

Sometimes it's not about the technical issues, but documentation, process and qualifications. In B2B there's plenty of that and just the bus factor [1] alone might force a start-up into considering a cloud provider.

In the end it's not just shifting cost, it's also shifting risk and standards and that may or may not be a critical factor.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_factor
Complex projects in places other than NYC don't seem to have the same extreme level of superfluous labor that drives up the costs.

"The unions and vendors declined to release the labor deals, but The Times obtained them. Along with interviews with contractors, the documents reveal a dizzying maze of jobs, many of which do not exist on projects elsewhere.

There are “nippers” to watch material being moved around and “hog house tenders” to supervise the break room. Each crane must have an “oiler,” a relic of a time when they needed frequent lubrication. Standby electricians and plumbers are to be on hand at all times, as is at least one “master mechanic.” Generators and elevators must have their own operators, even though they are automatic. An extra person is required to be present for all concrete pumping, steam fitting, sheet metal work and other tasks.

In New York, “underground construction employs approximately four times the number of personnel as in similar jobs in Asia, Australia, or Europe,” according to an internal report by Arup, a consulting firm that worked on the Second Avenue subway and many similar projects around the world."

Some actually do and more will probably follow suit. This might put you in a bind for lateral movement as well. Much harder to build an effective network over zoom, and nepotism is for better or worse how the world works because there are probably 1000 qualified people for every job opening. If you get laid off from your remote job, it will be tough to land another one when your competition is suddenly the entire country where people are comfortable asking for salaries far lower than yours and companies are happy to exploit cheaper labor.

Semaphore (Programming)
"Proper English" i.e. Received Pronunciation is not a high dialect. It was not used in court or government before the development of modern English some 700 years ago. Before then, that role was filled by French, thanks to the Norman conquest - so the need for a high-low distinction never developed in English to its typical extent.

In general, English in England does not display the variety of dialect found in mainland Europe or elsewhere in the world. Despite a variety of accent, it is overwhelmingly homogeneous in grammar and vocabulary (outside of slang).

There is no equivalent for English to the difference between Hoch- and Plattdeutsch, or between Tuscan Italian and its other variants - in both of these cases, the overwhelming part of the population learns both their local low dialect and the high dialect as distinct "languages".
Aren't both exactly the same as Zoom, just free?

I guess it's a matter of opinion, but it's obvious to me that the quality in that episode and in the state-of-the-art models is very, very far from the quality of that Michael Caine impersonation. If they had deepfaked Michael Caine's voice, nobody would have been fooled.

I agree with your first two sentences, then I think you loose your way.

SFO is a 'liberal' city, but the idea the tech people are majority liberal as well needs a strong does of supporting evidence. My own observation is that much like the rest of the rest of the populace, it's a spectrum. I have talked to many SFO folks looking to move out of there specifically because they want to be somewhere 'conservative', usually using more colorful language.

And I also have some doubts about the whole 'techies are going to come here and take over' trope. Sure, they will influence things (money always does), but entrenched political and social structures don't just melt away overnight. They know the rules of the game because they made them. I live in a pretty lefty area that's also pretty desirable to live in, and periodically you'll get an influx of individuals from other places that make noise about some aspect of the area that isn't conservative enough for them (taxation, commonly) and how they're going to change things. And the incumbent political actors spin up and work the system and it usually goes nowhere. I suspect you'll see much more of that than radical changes brought on by the arrival of tech money.

Your experience could partly be explained by selection bias (e.g. sister comment “it's such a cool town!“). I am presuming you didn’t choose Whitefish randomly, and obviously you must have been an early adopter.

For 1), How would password resets work? Wouldn't you need more than just their email?

For 2), This sounds like a bad idea for anyone sharing their screen, they could broadcast the url or even just share a link not understanding how it works and lose control of their own account. Also this would only work for users who use bookmarks.
Yes. And we called it Seattle Subway for the local audience, to get attention to the fact that we could significantly accelerate construction of the system with an additional ballot measure. Most of what Sound Transit calls "light rail" counts a a subway anyway.
> How does storing the email in plaintext get around issues involving sending emails to case-sensitive mailboxes?

By the validation one performs at initial sign-up.

I’m implicitly saying it’s okay to require that an email address was entered with perfectly matched case at signup, which is validated by a code or link etc, and then be more forgiving about what you receive in all subsequent uses because it’s supportive of ordinary humans trying to use your product.

Electron is based on chromium and I want to give non-chromium based things a fighting chance. It also feels like a memory hog and I like running slack in my browser more than as a separate app.

The issue is that the Pi uses a relatively uncommon port (mini-HDMI) for their devices, and while the “Christmas Morning” kit that they’re selling includes the correct cable, it would’ve been nice if this larger device upgraded to use the far more common full-sized HDMI port. This way, they could’ve used a cable they likely already had available instead of needing something special or keeping track of a new cable.
> Anyone who travels to Europe is shocked at home, food, and car sizes

I'm trying to understand this comment. I'll flip it the other way as a European Brit visiting the US.

Homes: You have an entire continent, with only 400 years of (European) habitation, so you have a lot of space. Your home building is also largely after the invention of the motor car. In Europe we have, are, and will, walk everywhere. So everything is closer together, and so are the houses.

Food: not quite sure what the issue is with European food, but as a European in the US, I'm astonished at how little fresh food and meat there is. If it's wrapped in plastic, I have no idea how old it is. Ugh. If I ask a butcher for a cut of meat, I know that meat has only been hung for a certain time, and on display for a certain time. Similar fruit and vegetables, and fish, and bread and so on. A massive bag of chips, or a gallon of high fructose corn syrup is not an achievement.

And then car sizes. European roads are historically dictated by horse and cart. In the US, you have Eisenhower and the freeways... after the invention of cars.

Don't get me wrong, I like the USA. I've spent about 5 years of my life, cumulatively in the USA. I think the European fantasy, is seeing America, and realising (from a European perspective), how much the USA could benefit from doing some European things. I want to just walk to the shops, or cycle down the road.

High speed rail would be an absolute game changer for you guys. Connecting up SF and LA, or NY and Phili, but you (or rather your politicians) just don't get it.

The 'healthiest forest is one with different ages of stands mixed throughout.

Though, this all depends on where you are and what the natural disturbance type and frequency is as well as the natural age of the trees.

Speaking of coastal western old growth, the kind a lot of people think of, giant cedars and stuff. Old growth gets old, like thousands of years old because typically the disturbance types would be windfall and infrequent wildfires from lightning.

These events would cause patches where giant trees fall and crush neighbour trees, fires burn out patches and new growth starts. This means throughout a natural forest you'll get patches with different ages.

This creates the ideal situation for wildlife habitat and other things. New growth forest, not planted in rows as other commenters mentioned, tends to also have a lot of shrubs and underbrush that get killed off in old growth forests. These types of canopies are great habitat for birds and such, they provide forage for deer and bears. While having surviving, intact old growth stands in the forests provides different kinds of habitat. It's also extremely nutrient rich from advanced fungal colonies and hundreds of years of built up decomposing material.

These nutrients are passed from these older trees along mycelium networks to the younger trees and so on.

A healthy ecosystem in general will have a mix of succession stages in a given area. This provides the maximum benefit to life in those ecosystems.
Based on what trend data or measures?
If you had omitted the word ‘process’ you would have achieved the height of perfection.
Wow! I somehow decided that Germany was densely populated enough that the numbers wouldn't be nearly so high.
Once they see the raw data they'll have a good idea how to get it. Why don't they just set up their own scraper at that point, instead of paying me?
I switched from Chrome to Firefox two years ago.

But last week I swiched to Brave, because Firefox simply couldn't deliver the performance I need for all the heavy weight web apps I use (Cloud9, VSCode, Gravit Designer, Slack, Asana).

Brave is overall pretty snappy and I only got problems with Recaptcha, which wants me to do a ridiculous amount of tests.
Would making the ball a "unique" colour work? (something that stands out, like magenta)
There are lots of places to learn about a major Apple event (if anything, it's hard to miss it) that aren't the 30 slots on the HN front page. Yours is a variant of the 'everything is related to everything somehow' rationale with which you can argue anything is on-topic on any form that has topic rules. It's a fun argument but makes for lousy forums.
Stepping back though, you do make that hardware choice when you select a service from an IaaS. The actual selection is hidden from you, though. It is a tradeoff where the industry has overwhelmingly come out on one side. I think it's time to start questioning this. Instead of hiring engineers with "AWS experience" why not engineers with experience automating systems using OSS tooling?
Bush vs. Gore
I believe the point being made is because Electron uses Chromium they are making an assumption that it has some of the characteristics and possibly tracibility of Chrome.

Not sure if that is or isn't true but I would say it is understandably a different type of worry from using Go or nodejs.
But is it a benefit or a liability? Reminds me a lot of the arguments in Susskind and Susskind's "The Future of the Professions."
Over the years due at least party to posts like these I have:

Switched search engine to DuckDuckGo

Switched browser to Firefox
