There are multiple common meanings, none of which (for me) defining it as "before I existed". Nor is it a set time.

iPhone 5c is vintage at nine years old, defined by Apple.

When was the last 32 bit x86 processor manufactured? AMD/Intel, the only two worth really discussing due to volume, have made 64-bit processors for 15 years or so. In computing terms, that is an age.
Shouldn't the needed energy increase the more the height difference? Seems it must be made up for in some other place too, or less waste heat at some stage.

Per-km cost of electrics should be a lot cheaper than ICE. Diesel fuel is AFAIK a big part of the cost for freight operators.

Yeah, there wasn't any language that indicated you were taking a side.

The thing is, at least the Congresswomen is democratically elected and (in theory) serves the interest of their constituents. Whereas a company serves the interest of it's shareholders, by law, so well-being of it's customers and even employees is secondary to it's legal mandate for profit.
How is Visual Basic still ranked #6 programming language in 2020?
A game from my youth :) I'm glad you kept going.
I have noticed loads of people are commenting on the "fatal flaw" bit of the title. It is a click-bait title, and if it was anything else, no one would be commenting on the post in the first place. "A Critique of Ownership Semantics" is less interesting to click on than "The Fatal Flaw of Ownership Semantics".
Ah, but you could do things like put logic in routers like this: "I see you're giving me a 32 bit address. I'm just gonna interpret that as a 64 address padded left with zeroes." Now router firmware, network stacks, kernel modules -- It's not a full rewrite, just an extension. Now all the bugfixes and workarounds we've written over 50 years still apply. If it were made truly backwards compatible, you'd instantly have tons of adoption because anyone that runs IPv4 is supported and works without any changes. That's way more adoption than IPv6. You wouldn't instantly have to fix all the software again. It would work with old software. This is why hacks like UTF-8 exists. Old systems that understand only ASCII still work fine and communicate well with the systems that deal in UTF-8.
I am not sure if I get your main point, but since your talking about Tesla and exterior looks, I think that it shouldn't be forgotten or overlooked, that Tesla truck is planned to have an amazing drag coefficient:

"The Tesla Semi’s drag coefficient of 0.36 is lower than today’s trucks at 0.65 to 0.7, and even lower than the Bugatti Chiron at 0.38, one of the world’s fastest sports cars" [1].

Objects with good drag coefficients are usually good looking, or are not hard to make good looking (while not so true for the other way around).

I would argue this is barely the default these days. Windows, OS X, and on the Linux side network-manager, dhcpcd, systemd-networkd etc all have privacy addresses enabled by default. Many OSs/distros also have RFC7217-style addresses enabled by default too, so even the SLAAC base address doesn't contain the MAC on those.

DHCPv6 does actually implement temporary addresses too. Support for that is legitimately rare though.

It's doing Ok, not very well. It seems to be 2nd class citizen at best. Some applications/libraries were never ported, e.g. there's no CLISP, scsh or multi-threading support for SBCL (there is such for CCL).
That's not quite it. It's that there are some people crying wolf who see something as erotic material when it's not. Do you see the difference there? Getting to the heart of why they see it this way when others don't is an interesting question.

There's an ugly implication of the "I know it when I see it" standard -- something in the individual's brain has realized that what it's getting from the eyes is supposed to be exciting. How could they otherwise make the claim? That's got to be an unsettling experience for a lot of people. The self-disgust this causes is likely to be so visceral and panic-inducing that it will be hard for someone experiencing it to understand that the reaction is not universal.

IMO this is a great strategy to get off the ground.

Eventually, I don't think you'll be able to get around offering a web GUI because if you don't somebody else will build one for you (around your CLI tooling).

That article says romance exists, not that it's the majority situation. Even leaving aside unromantic surviving marriages, the high divorce rate is strong evidence.
Sounds like something Google and that University need to work out. I am curious about what happened that they needed to shutdown G Suite.

My understanding is Google is a bit less likely to go full ban and just lock you out with no recourse with G Suite than regular services.
> In a true capitalistic society government should not be involved in transactions or take important decisions about this.

Even under a purely capitalist system, if there is a suspicion of malfeasance in such a transaction, it is reasonable for the government or others to ask for more clarity. Blackmail, bribery, embezzlement, or other bad faith agreements can introduce legal proceedings, none of those things are permissible under capitalism.

Largely depends on the neighborhood and existing infrastructure. My suburb is reasonably compact and Amazon and UPS have large facilities at the edge of town, right off the freeway. FedEx still has to process everything through a facility in the city center. It's a 30 mile RT for them just to begin delivering packages here.

I'm sure this will change soon but until it does, there's still a lot of wasted transit time.

Intel's out is to actually bring their 7nm node to market. Until then they are a sinking ship and they are certainly well aware of that.

10nm was / is a disaster failure and even if could somehow fenagle it into a usable state by next year will be trounced by tsmc 5nm zen 4. They need to cut their losses and leapfrog or they will stay technologically irrelevant going forward.
I agree. It's an observation on the great flattening.

When I was a kid, the neighbor who knew something about Ham radio was a brilliant expert, the neighbor who made bread was an exceptional baker, and the guy down the street who could paint portraits was a talented artist. Now, compared to all the talents in the world, they were all just competent at best, or even mediocre. In those days, the comparison wasn't visible. Now it's in everyone's face 24x7.

It doesn't mean you can't enjoy the activities. But if you're vested in being the best or even notable, you're now competing on a global scale rather than just your town.
Yeahbut. The number of trucks on the road is minuscule compared to passenger cars, they just put on a lot more miles. A kilogram of lithium used in a truck battery will accomplish more than a kilogram of lithium used in a car battery. (Which also suggests the industry may be less cost-sensitive and able to tolerate price increases if they ever happen, although the trajectory is solidly downward.)

Furthermore, secondary use of EV packs (when they're down to maybe 60% of nameplate capacity, they're replaced and the old ones are sold into stationary applications) means that there'll be _decreasing_ demand for purpose-built stationary batteries. Five years ago, if you wanted to put together a massive lithium backup system, you had to buy new batteries. Today, you can head over to batteryhookup and get BMW, BYD, Mercedes, and other ex-EV batteries for pennies on the dollar, in modules with the connectors on 'em and everything.

The industry is actively pursuing this, by the way. Five years from now, it'll either be much easier and more official, or wrapped up in-house and out of third-party reach. But either way, the path from EV to stationary use is developing, and the packs which already did some service on the road, will fill much of the need for stationary batteries, displacing that market's appetite for virgin batteries.

As the secondary market floods with ex-EV packs, at some point it becomes economical to "mine" the really-dead ones for their lithium, and the loop closes. Recycling plants aren't the same as virgin-lithium plants, but we'll see those developing in due time.
> The TOS says that Github will take down the offending content (or if, necessary, account)

No. It doesn't say "offending content." It says "repeat infringers of this policy," referring to the aforementioned paragraphs.

> Github is not a thing people use outside of programming.

Which is increasingly close to zero major industries.

> The end result would simply have been the RIAA issuing more requests, possibly even formal requests, which Github would have led Github to doing the same thing it did proactively.

Exactly, and the opportunity for people with non-infringing uses, such as myself, to pick up the torch. It's a lot easier to take down youtube-dl than it is to take down obviously non-infringing educational tools used by kids to learn from home during a pandemic.

> It's doing what the law requires to prevent disruption of services to their other customers, most of whom aren't opening flaunting the law.

The law requires a very specific process. github went above and beyond that process, for no positive reason. The safe harbor provisions in DMCA hinge on being a "service provider," which is not very well defined, but the provisions were inspired by the concept of a common carrier.

If all I'm doing is hosting people's content, with no control over that, or providing bandwidth, or a caching layer, I shouldn't be liable for the actions of those people. Comcast has no liability for what I send over their network. If I run something illegal on AWS, that's not AWS' liability either. That's reasonable.

There's a fuzzy line from there to a service like github or Youtube, to a service like pip or npm, to something like the Debian package repository. If the Debian package repository, which is controlled and curated by Debian, has infringing content, Debian would almost certainly be liable.

github can be viewed as "like Comcast/AWS" or "like Debian," depending on how much control it exerts over what goes on github. Exerting more control than it absolutely needs to -- as it did in this case -- increases their liability in the long term. This shouldn't put them out of the service provider category, but a pattern of exerting control might.
From the link I dug out in the above comment

"According to an investigation conducted by the Criminal Investigation Division of the Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of California, Individual X was the individual who moved the cryptocurrency from Silk Road. According to the investigation, Individual X was able to hack into Silk Road and gain unauthorized and illegal access to Silk Road and thereby steal the illicit cryptocurrency from Silk Road and move it into wallets that Individual X controlled. According to the investigation, Ulbricht became aware of Individual X’s online identity and threatened Individual X for return of the cryptocurrency to Ulbricht. Individual X did not return the cryptocurrency but kept it and did not spend it.
On November 3, 2020, Individual X signed a Consent and Agreement to Forfeiture with the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Northern District of California. In that agreement, Individual X, consented to the forfeiture of the Defendant Property to the United States government. On November 3, 2020, the United States took custody of the Defendant Property from 1HQ3."

+1. Every time we look at Ruby app in my tech diligence work, we wind up talking with them about how they wish they had that service layer and weren't doing Active Record methods from controllers. It's a real achilles heel of RoR once things get big.
Gelman's criticism is a little different. It's not that 538 has too much uncertainty, but the way they created the uncertainty. The way I understand it (and I'm an amateur so I could be wrong), the criticism is that the 538 team basically fudged state-level uncertainties to get the presidential forecast uncertainty that looked right to them, with the result you get a lot of unrealisitic state-by-state breakdowns (i.e Trump wins New Jersey but can't win Alaska). Gelman's critique is not that the uncertainty is too big, but that it's not integrated correctly.
I don't think it's an issue of talent. But a preference for GUIs often hampers people and the work they support. You can't compose GUIs like you can CLIs, and that's important as your workflows become more complex and need to involve more things. You can either extend the GUI (Hah! only if you own it or it's open source) or develop manual processes, or use tools that can automate GUIs but tend to be fragile.

I've been considering starting my own after discovering this and looking through a few not too long ago. I wouldn't have time to keep up with it as of now, but I think it would be great (and would probably serve the same mental benefits) as some form of journal. But I'm not as brave as you all, so I bet it would be best for me to have a several year delay on a "public" side of my own, personal digital garden.
Illegal? What makes us think that unrestricted corporate power isn't going to continue?

In the story, its become an ordinary fact of life. In fact, once you have somebody's card you have their life. They can kill employees if its convenient.

But its just a story.
I'm not talking about people working for Tara -- I was only ever talking from the perspective of Tara's customers!!!!

The GDPR message is there to stop Tara customers from putting other customers data in there. Like if I'm a customer of Tara and I provide services to you then you are my customer (not Tara's nor an employee of Tara). The GDPR is to tell me not to put your details in there. It's not there to warn me about my own email address being pseudo-public.

The reason this needs to be explicit is because sometimes some organisations will put their own customer data into their support system. While this is generally bad practice it can be excused depending on the type of support system it is and how it's hosted. But the type of system Tara is aimed for, it's not intended to be a customer issue tracker ("customer" here meaning "customers of the people who use Tara" -- not Tara's employees nor Tara's direct customers) and Tara are making that point explicit with their GDPR statement.
Fair point, will include a link to it.
I'm surprised no one has linked to these two articles by @apenwarr yet, I consider them "the bible" for understanding IPv6 and why it was designed and implemented the way it was.

I worded that a bit confusingly, but I assure you I know capitalism is not a system of government. I was using governance as another area where we have ideologies which simply can't be implemented wholesale without some tinkering around the edges.
Don't forget `-h` "chastise me for not using --help, and don't show the help".

and `-h` print "usage: $program [TBhrRtzFwbvjEBUQ]"

This is assuming all the commands are in one binary, and you know what the binary is (compare 'yum install' and 'yum search' with 'apt-get install' vs 'apt-cache search').

> Most CLI tools implement these

Most? You can see there's a big competing pattern of having multiple binaries with the same prefix like ssh ssh-agent ssh-keygen, dbus-FOO dpkg-FOO apt-FOO snmpFOO ldapFOO.

And there are plenty which don't have this "clearly delineated sub-command" like git has.

> where [GUI] has almost no de-facto standards like this

The massive main de-facto standard a GUI has is showing you important things up front and hiding irrelevant and uncommon things away. With a CLI you see nothing until you --help then you see everything. There's no indication of what's a common path through the tool.

openssl sha --help shows "-non-fips-allow" above "-sha1".

It's not showing options in alphabetical order. Am I to infer that "-sigopt nm:v" is more common, more used, more important, than "use SHA1" because it's higher up in the list? If not, why is it higher up in the list?

Hamburger menu? Right-click on a thing to show you a context menu of things you can do with a thing? A central content area with "tabbed sections" along the top (real tabs or links like a menu bar)? Mouse hover-and-pause tooltip? "select an item and press F1 for help"? Have a username link or avatar picture behind which your user-specific options are? Are these not large and common "de-facto standards" in GUIs?
Wordpress is agribusiness that's why Wordpress sites tend toward uniformity.
Right, currently 32-bit is only obsolete and unsupported. It'll be a while longer for it to be coveted as vintage.
The settlement would be an excellent idea. Big companies often make deals with governments over large amounts of tax they owe. If the hacker can walk with $50M clean and legal (and let the government have the rest), it's a pretty sweet deal.
> Our ability to ride a stream of thoughts without being actively conscious to them is unfortunate; it must have some evolutionary reason

I suspect that the evolutionary reason is rather mundane; introspection (thinking about thinking and feeling) is expensive, and while it may confer some small epistemic benefit toward constructing and maintaining a theory of mind, the main benefit is in masking the downsides of other traits (like neuroticism, depression, anxiety, paranoia), which, to be frank, don't usually have much in the way of an upside. Historically (and likely prehistorically) it is simpler on a population basis to select against the traits that introspection would mask, which leaves introspectiveness as a trait that isn't strongly selected for, and at least slightly selected against in most situations.

This calculation flips in any situation where neuroticism, paranoia, etc. confer an advantage, which probably happens often enough to keep those traits (and introspectiveness) from dying out, and of course much of the stress of modern living exacerbates any neurotic etc. tendencies, which may give introspectiveness a boost even as those tendencies are selected against more strongly. But on an evolutionary timescale, I'd place a bigger bet on human culture(s) becoming less stressful, rather than on people evolving to better withstand stress.

Much of this speculation, TBH, is a handwavy just-so story. And since a theory isn't much use unless it has predictive power, here is a prediction: low-trust societies are where you would expect to find some minor advantage to neuroticism associated traits and a corresponding greater advantage to an even marginally better theory of mind, so we might find a correlation to greater introspectiveness. I am not aware of any research that addresses that question (although on an individual basis, neuroticism is by definition negatively correlated with trust, since trust is a facet of agreeableness)

I absolute agree with you, but you already knew this. I think the terms "ownership" and "move" are confusing and what it really is "responsibility".

> ...ownership/move semantics is fundamentally based around the _responsibilities of values_ by tracking value usage.

> If we were to call Ownership Semantics a paradigm, it would be the orientation around the responsibility of values in a hierarchical fashion, placing emphasis on this system of responsibility, shifting focus from data structures and algorithms.

I am not a brilliant writer (which I already knew, even though loads of people have commented on that), but I was trying to get an idea I had in my head onto paper. I wanted to explain that this abstraction is not as good as it is being advertized and does have its limitations. It's not a criticism of the concept, but its application to a bunch of problems.
I recently went with 32bit OpenBSD and Alpine Linux while revamping a small collection of Atom & Pentium M netbooks (the Toshiba Portege was as thin/light as the Macbook Air) after replacing the spinny disks for SSDs.

Alpine is great because you can keep your home dirs, some configuration & packages etc. on an encrypted thumb drive that can be swapped between computers.

It's like an author using an old typewriter to focus, can't use Chrome (too slow) but NetSurf is great for occasional HN and reference material browsing.

All I really need is a shell, Vim, i3, Python and a compiler... reminds me of the Minix days - just you, an editor and a C compiler without any distractions.

Is it only understood because of the particular build up?

Anything could be explained if it's broken into a ton of steps, with each step adding a new level, but very little daily language works like that.
Breweries need multiple temperatures, and that's an area where heat pumps could still be applied. I think the common mistake is either/or solutions and you're making it here. Water has a high thermal mass. Starting with ground temperature water and heating it up greatly increases the number of BTUs.

And then after you've cooked it, you need to chill it down to around room temperature. Where you dump that heat could make a huge difference.
You need to pay for an expensive on-chain Bitcoin transaction before you can use Lightning. You must also have enough money so you can pay for another on-chain transaction if the channel closes and you must issue a dispute to not lose your funds.

Did I mention that if you open a channel to the wrong hub, you must open yet another channel, with all associated costs?

It's ridiculous to even entertain Lightning as a viable option when there are other low-fee and fully functioning cryptocurrencies that aren't gimped by a tiny blocksize.
Now that is an interesting angle. What are the figures on that?
