Waymo is running self-driving cars with paying passengers and no backup drivers right now in Phoenix, and last I checked we don't have general AI yet.

https://www.reuters.com/article/waymo-autonomous-phoenix/way...

Sure, you can move the goalposts and say it's not "true" self-driving until it can handle all environments and weather conditions and whatnot, but self-driving cars are here. The question is how fast they'll go mainstream.
Well now I've gone from not caring about snap/flatpak (only selling point seemed to be ease of install; I've never had a problem with arch & the AUR) to making mental note to steer well clear if the temptation ever began to set in.
My previous company was on Travis, and as soon as I saw that Travis was purchased by private equity, I knew the downward spiral had begun and I recommended we move to something else. Not surprised that this is happening a couple of years later...my understanding is that private equity will tend towards slowing/stopping development after acquisition to cut costs/headcount, and then squeeze the remaining value from what's left, so this is in-line with that playbook.
Are these step counts really as much as they sound like? My fitness tracker hits above 10,000 steps even the days I stay indoors, just from walking around the house doing things, although I do pace around more than most.
> Insertion and deletion of entries are much faster in a linked list than in an array

That's a really broad statement. Arrays can get surprisingly big while being faster. Performance-wise, you'd usually want to use arrays up to a certain size and then link between entire arrays. I'd say the biggest advantage of a standard linked list is that it can be intrusive.
Those countries probably have a much higher population density than the US. To make a valid comparison, I think you need to level that difference.

The comparison with “the world” includes places like Mongolia and other large places with little soot pollution.
I grew up in the SFBA and the absurd housing prices make me sad. I would have loved to stay but it just made no sense. I left about 5 years ago to move to SoCal where I can actually afford a house in a school district that doesn't completely suck. I paid 600k which is still a lot - but if I wanted an equivalent up north it would have been over 1 mil.
I looked at those links. Here's what I got from them:

1. Tutorials "are lessons that take the reader by the hand through a series of steps." They "are oriented towards learning how."

2. How-to guides "take the reader through steps."

3. "How-to guides are wholly distinct from tutorials."

If I found a "community" around a topic, do I then get to decide what words mean? By consensus, of course.
Moderna, Pfizer Won’t Attend White House Summit on Vaccines
Recently noticed that Overlord 2 actually loads dramatically faster on Linux with Proton than on Windows (inter level loads). Wonder what is up with that?
Appreciation is not rent seeking though.

It most certainly is, if at the same time you're hanging out at city council meetings protesting construction and housing development. The cost of housing in SFBA isn't really the cost of land - its the cost of regulation. It's the marginal cost of building new housing.
Ah, thanks, I think it's adwaita (mentioned there) that I picked at (pseudo)random, so maybe I already have it.

Not sure if I have any either to be honest, but that's what I mean, I like not worrying about it.
A few years. Not really. HN isn’t focussed enough to learn any particular area. It’s more a place of interesting random discussion.
You are aware cops have absolutely no obligation to enforce the law, right?

So you or me entering this woman's home with guns drawn - we have the same obligation to be there as a cop.

This whole "oh but the cops are scared for their life" crap needs to stop. They have no obligation to do anything, so anytime they do, it's their choice. Just as much their choice as you or me busting into a home with guns drawn.

You wouldn't be sitting here sympathizing with how a random burglar is totally justified in entering a home with a weapon drawn because the homeowner could be armed.

Why do you do the same with cops?

Edit: to summarize my point: cops have no obligation to be there, so if their solution is to enter with guns drawn and barking orders, we shouldn't try to sympathize with that behavior. We should tell them to stay at home and cuddle a teddy bear instead. A lot more people would be alive today if we quit making excuses for why cops are so eager to kill people.
I installed Pop!_OS last month and Proton has seriously moved most of my non-AAA gaming time off Windows. Indie titles and 2D games run flawlessly at it.

I never thought Linux gaming has improved so much. Heck, Steam has more available titles in Linux than in my Mac.
> To power this big fancy pump, all liquid-fuel rockets burn fuel in a separate combustion chamber, using the hot gas to power the pump.

There's some engineers in New Zealand who might have something to say about that...

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_(rocket)
I have no idea, but the engineer I was talking to was describing the unique challenge of working with the OS, as it was the sole system compiled in that language, and how about half of the bugs they fixed were OS bugs and the other half were compiler bugs, and I ran away from there as fast as I could. This would've been somewhere around 2005, so it could've been.
This is crazy, I'm not sure why people aren't taking this more into account. By all accounts Timnit was an extremely toxic person to work with. Sure, perhaps she shouldn't have been fired for this paper, Google probably saw an opportunity to remove her that wouldn't be a PR nightmare for them. But regardless, it's hard for me personally to see them as being in the wrong given Timnit's history.
Gitlab provides 400 minutes a month on their free plan and you can use that on private projects, not just OSS.

On top of that it is easy to setup a private CI runner on a $5 month VM.
They don't care about getting caught, there is no penalty. Your police can't do anything, and the feds don't care enough to start an extradition preceding over someone spoofing a US number to scam you - if they can identify them in the first place!

The solution to phone scams is SHAKEN/STIR (1). It will hopefully be rolled out next year. This is legal and social more than technical, despite the "digital" nature of the world our phone networks are built on a 150 year old tech stack where it used to be too expensive to call someone in a different country to scam them.

(1) https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-362932A1.pdf

There is a drawback, since there are legitimate uses for spoofing numbers. But journalists can purchase burners and service providers who enable trivial spoofing shouldn't be shielded from secondary liability.
Ooooh yes, the female privilege that feminists never talk about.
That's not really logical. If you think you'll get shot for no reason, then surely you would think that your chances of getting shot will go up with non-compliance.

The most important thing is not the airports. All metros have them. The differentiator is the vast number of asian grocery stores, restaurants and other stores/businesses. In America the Bay Area is only behind Los Angeles in that regard.
In response to the scorn in the comments. Free SAAS resources are like Costco samplers. Be grateful when they are handed out, and be prepared for them to be taken away. These things do cost money, and like drugs are given away to make you a customer – but there's no such thing as a free lunch.

Yes, your ".box" example is 100% tied to Tailwind. Remove Tailwind from your build process, and that stylesheet is broken. So you can transition sites to Tailwind, but transitioning a site away from Tailwind proves extraordinarily difficult.
That can definitely be done today: just point a link to a public matrix room...well, the participants would need an account associated to a homeserver first in order to interact...but that's no different - conceptually - than needing to have a disqus account. The benefit of course is that their account can be associated to their __own__ homeserver! In fact, i do this already on my website; though for general contact (like a poorman's contact form), rather than a comment section for blog posts - but the approach works for either perspective.
They aren't, but they are in the EEA (European Economic Area). So in trade they mostly follow EU rules without participating in the political process.

I don't how much of the lawful interception stuff is governed by EU directives. Even less whether that would affect EEA countries.
It’s also one of the only cities where cops don’t do anything about property crime and homeless people are free to harass you and break into your building and cars without any real repercussions. My neighbor worked for SFPD and we still had to get a restraining order against a homeless person to get them out of our buildings garage. It’s also one of the only cities where kids will have to see drug use like heroin being injected openly on public transportation.

Geographically, San Francisco is amazing. But I’ve never been to any other city that is as expensive as Switzerland and run like a sleazy third world country. I finally moved out after a bullet went through my bathroom wall in Glen Park. Somethings are more important than the geography.

No, your first reference is not about `text-align: justify`, which has had good support even since ie6 days. It’s about the `text-justify` property which gives more control when `text-align: justify` is applied.
If you squint, these seem to be (optional) layers of transformation (data and code).

I would rather navigate code with a clear, high level pipeline of transformations, rather than each path having its own idiosyncratic low level data assembly.
Sounds like it would be more socially responsible to decommission it properly, rather than using untrained, irresponsible, and reckless police as a dumping ground for surplus equipment.
You're talking about how society should be run and how the state should respond to issues within its purview. That's inherently political.

I would say that being careful with one's language to avoid offense is reasonable, if the hypothetical other party's propensity for taking offense is reasonable. Incense at the specter of a political discussion is not reasonable.

> These are the exact same arguments folks made and probably still make with the original iPhone release.

Lol. Your comment reminded me of another sarcastic comment I came across on this topic, on Slashdot (https://m.slashdot.org/story/379156#comments)

> I've been seeing these articles for years. Oh no, Apple has made AirPods, who will buy anyone else's wireless earbuds now?. Oh no,Apple has created iPadOS, who will buy a PC laptop now?. Oh no, Apple made the trash can Mac with AMD "server" cards for so cheap, who will buy a PC workstation now?. Oh no, Apple made the iPad, who will buy a normal laptop now?. Oh no, Apple has made the iPhone, who will buy any other smartphone now?.

And that's the point you are missing.

Nobody denies that the Apple processor is a technological innovation. But like the iPhone, it is definitely an innovation limited to the APPLE ECOSYSTEM.

The new Apple processor will definitely make them more profit as it will attract more consumers. But it will neither kill Qualcomm or Nvidia or Intel or AMD. And whether you like it or not, Intel and AMD processors biggest advantage is the softwares they can run on it. And that's a huge advantage over Apple Processor that can only run the highly controlled and closed macOS BigSur where an application Firewall isn't even allowed to block Apple apps because Apple doesn't want you to.
It seems like a narrow path to try to navigate. When a reporter prefaces a question with "Next year when you've perfected your transform-manure-into-gold machine..." it seems executives either quash that nonsense, run away screaming "I can't hear you!", or make themselves liable when the TMIG machine doesn't ever work.
And that goes for the police who executed the search warrant - lawful until proven otherwise. The warrant is issued by a judge meeting a probable cause standard.
Have you ever read a warrant application? I have read a few, and they love to use the phrase "information and belief" to persuade the judge.

That's just a fancy way of saying "speculate," and judges don't seem to object.

We should see when the warrant application becomes public.

I wouldn't say that, no. Other factors might reduce car ownership, of course, but I meant only to address the larger question of Uber's potential market. Another major use case is the airport, because airport parking has become egregiously expensive and cost-cutting favors rideshare infrastructure over parking (which is a good thing land-use-wise). There's also "transit in taxi out" trips because it's cold at night and people are tired and don't want to walk/wait/transfer, which grow as public transit is expanded, another trend that is likely to continue because the reduction in air pollution from electrification makes urban areas more desirable, as well as various secular trends pointing towards urbanization that may or may not continue (some recently reversed by the covid-19 pandemic) -- environmentalism in particular seems like it won't go away.

In any case, plenty of people are enthusiastic about a world where owning cars is less popular, so it's a common refrain.
Obnoxious nitpick: everyone on El Faro died. Crew had plenty of warning they were sailing into a hurricane, but the captain did it anyway. For me the main takeaway from that sinking was "don't be on a cargo ship that sails directly into a hurricane".

Why is Silicon Valley where it is other than accident of history? The US government could have made military investments elsewhere and Fairchild Semiconductor would have just as easily been in another state.

California and the SF Bay Area doesn't get credit for that. Heck, Silicon Valley was a bunch of fruit orchards for decades. Could have been a different set of fruit orchards in a different state.

Had Fairchild been elsewhere, the Traiterous 8 would have become the kingmakers they became in a different place and Keith Rabois or someone like him would have moved to that ecosystem instead to develop relations at the right time and become rich.

Seattle is the perfect counterfactual to the narrative you're invested in. Microsoft is Seattle's Fairchild.

Saying that all they are doing is "cutting a check" betrays the fact that you've likely never actually worked with a successful VC. The successful ones do so much more than cut a check. For example, the hard work they put in to help you identify and hire talent is indispensable.

Can you sell them back to the company? For example if you sold them for 1 cent the company has the right of first refusal and if they refuse I believe the sale can still go through.
The problem is that the idiots the hire to do their "technical" support have zero skill (nor motivation to learn) to assess whether it's a 5% problem or not, and the majority of end-users aren't capable to answer that question either, nor that they are incentivized to answer truthfully.

The solution could be a priority support tier where you pay upfront for an hour of a real network engineer's time (decently compensated so that he actually cares about solving the problem) and the charge is refunded only if the problem indeed ends up being on the ISP's side. This should self-regulate as anyone wasting the engineers' time for a simple problem they could resolve themselves would pay for that time.
While I do share your frustration on linux gaming I thought to give sound to the opposing side who simply had this coming oit of a risk analysis.

TL;DR - it's indeed much easier to cheat on linux

After decades of fighting wars with crackers/reversers and all anti-debug/anti-cheat methods proven unusable against russian teenagers, AAA companies reached out to microsoft to get their undocumented binary "drivers" into the system which you cannot inspect from userspace.

With linux coming into the party, even if with the amazing work by Wine you do manage to get the desired anti-debug behaviour on the emulated userspace app, linux people can make arbitrary hooks on their kernels.

So instead of risking major reddit shitstorms over that 1% players that can cause 3% profit loss, it's better to ditch that 1%
They pushed it as necessary for their future because the future will be self-driving and anyone without access to that tech will be out-competed. That's completely different than it being necessary to their future because their present business model cannot be made profitable.

When I first moved to Seattle there was a great local ISP called CondoInternet that mainly specialized in high-density downtown buildings.

I was once having some packet loss issues and called their support line. I assume the company was really small at the time, because the guy who answered the phone was clearly a network engineer who knew the system inside and out. I read him a couple of traceroutes over the phone and we resolved the issue within minutes.

I have never experienced such perfect tech support before or after that with any other ISP.

All The NYC Businesses That Have Closed During The 2020 Covid-19 Pandemic
Basically if you want to replicate data across multiple nodes, all of them need to agree on the sequence of data updates. For example if I did [x=6, x=7], then the outcome of those ops is very different if I did it in the opposite order [x=7, x=6]. Easiest way to do this sequencing is to have a unique leader who will impose the unique order. Strict sequencing is not really serializability, but linearizability. For example, Cassandra doesn't by default have the concept of a leader and hence can't provide linearizability. Of course, there is a problem on how you decide who is the leader and what happens if two nodes think they are the leader at the same time. That's where the genius of Multi-Paxos/Raft comes in. You can read more about sequencing here

Strict mode was invented as a way of introducing a handful of "breaking" changes without them actually being breaking, since it's opt-in. JavaScript had some egregious design issues from the beginning and strict mode is a remedy to some of them.

But when most people say "breaking changes" they mean things that suddenly cause legacy code to stop working, and non-strict mode will almost certainly be supported ad infinitum, so I don't really count that. It's also almost certainly never going to happen again.

Whether the claims are true or not, the video does not support it.

> They drew guns after entering the residence.

Yes, but she claims:

>> They pointed a gun in my face.

In the video, she clearly leaves the residence before any guns are drawn. Potentially the cop to the left of the door from the camera's perspective has his hand on his gun, but it's not drawn either. So if this happened, it's not on video.

> They pointed them up the stairs where she said her husband and two children were. Thus they were pointing guns at her children.

She doesn't say that and the video doesn't support it.

She says:

>> I tell them my husband and my two children are upstairs... and THEN one of them draws his gun.

>> On my children.

According to the video, she's outside at this point. It's not clear how she can know where they are, except that she might have assumed they were where she last saw them. She actually says they 'are upstairs' which doesn't mean 'at the top of the stairs', but 'on the second floor.'

If anything, the video disputes the idea that they are at the top of the stairs. There is a light source shining down on the steps, but there are no shadows.

In fact, I don't even read that she's making the claim that the cops pointed guns at her children, merely that they drew the guns on her children. The video does support this claim since it could be argued that they were drawing their guns on anyone who might be in the house, whether they were physically in the same space or not.
