I'm not quite sure. I didn't enjoy the wild fires this year, that becoming normal would push me out of the bay area. The only other major complaint I have is the high cost of living. Sure, there are a lot of policy issues there. But that's purely financial, and financially staying in the bay area makes the most sense for me.
The fluffy tail makes a surprisingly big difference in the cuteness, although I'm not sure I can explain why.
Ironically, a ton of SV companies have been working on ways to keep drivers employed (and possibly even better paid, plus a safer job closer to home).

Regularly overlooked when SV is being demonized for automating jobs though, naturally.
The Attorney General of Texas filed a lawsuit claiming the results of election in four other states were invalid. If that isn't rejection of the constitution and democracy I don't know what is.

There are pockets of Nimby in Texas - truth to be told Austin is one of the most Nimby cities in Texas. The only good thing is unlike Bay Area - the Cities in Texas a primed for outward sprawl.
> Do they support i386

No. But for many use cases that’s not a big deal, since you’re likely to be running Linux & other open source software that already has ARM versions or can be recompiled.
> That is Serv-U, not Orion.

The next question is obviously whether they use Orion in addition to Serv-U. Or whether the Serv-U updater was compromised in addition to Orion.

High taxes incentivizes more productive use of real estate, such as multi family housing.
It's a spherical cow conversation. The cows you hire can be placed in a smooth manifold of job difficulty and you have a predictable prediction of the job performance distribution.
The people leaving are the ones that allowed this to take place by their voting choices, whether they realised it or not. And now they're bringing their great ideas to Texas.
"seceding"
California and SF are doomed, but the recent news of HPE and ORCL moving are not a big deal. IMO these are stationary phase companies trying to cut cost. They are not growing revenue, they are not really dynamic companies anymore. Who cares? The swashbuckling SV types never would have worked at these companies anyway. Stability-seeking workers in other states are a much better fit for these companies. Win-win-win.
Not OP but I've seen them more often than not between Chicago and California over the past decade or so, particularly in Nevada and Nebraska.
They are referring to long time California residents taking advantage of Prop 13. Presumably, long time residents vote against "change", which would include construction of new homes. Now imagine a lifetime of such voting. This would lead to a long-term undersupply of housing. Leading to higher housing prices.

edit: added more
I imagine we will just have more innovation centers. Nothing wrong with that and certainly not deserving of the “California is dying” hype
Some folks in my network are ex-Oracle and my understanding is that the company is run by the CFO and a huge group of MBAs. Any company where the bean counters are at the helm are optimizing for things like quarterly earnings, tax savings like you said, etc. This is the stage where they milk whatever they can out of a dying cash cow. There’s nothing interesting to me about this flavor of capitalism and I don’t think it’s something America should be proud of producing. Conversely, technology innovation and the entire ecosystem in Silicon Valley is really special and almost irreplicable.

Note: I have nothing against MBAs, I just don’t think it’s appropriate for them to have the loudest voice at a non-financial institution. They serve a critical role but it’s a supporting one and not suitable to leadership / company direction.
Yep. I kinda also think that the dev that wrote the code shouldn't be the dev that writes any of the tests, but that's much more of a philosophically sound but in-practice poor idea that I think about sometimes. I think it has an array of benefits that go totally unrealized if a person writes both. Things like, if your code is too complex for another engineer to write tests for, it's too complex for your team to maintain. If code standards aren't consistent enough in your codebase that other engineers feel the need to refactor/redo blocks of code in the name of style/readability/whatever, your codebase's style isn't automated well enough. Things like that. I just think it's so much of a better strategy, unfortunately up front it seems like a big time sink for (at surface level) little game.

I also refuse to measure test coverage in my codebases. "How frequently do bugs show up in production" and "how frequently are bugs fixed without adding tests" are metrics I find valuable but are underrepresented in the testing space. If bugs don't make it to prod very often, and when they do they are fixed, your testing strategy is probably sufficient. There's no reason to write thousands of null checks and formatting validators if you don't need to. Tests require as much or more maintenance as code. There's no reason to write more of them than you need.
There's been lots of confirmation about the brain's lymphatic system in the past 5 years, so you don't need to worry about reproducibility. E.g. https://www.the-scientist.com/news-opinion/brains-fluid-drai...

On the other hand, the existence of the G-spot has been controversial for almost 40 years so reproducibility can't be taken for granted.
Now imagine that the originator of the aforementioned "not really data" came to this very thread to admit that the proposed correlation disappeared once the dataset became more "huge" (c.f. Norvig's actual comment)
Is there any substance to this other than the U.S. tax system being antiquated?
That strikes me as a bit of a ridiculous reason to move. The homeless in California are concentrated in a handful of cities, and within those cities, in a handful of neighborhoods. It’s not a problem that you’d be exposed to in a way that truly inconveniences you unless you live or work in very specific locales, and even then, what are the homeless doing that is pushing people to move all the way out of the state rather than just one neighborhood over?

The notion that the homeless population is going to increase tenfold in the near-term also deserves a citation, that’s an immense jump.
High taxes, high cost of living, and bad policies were the primary reasons I left CA. Property tax assessment was 1/6th of fair market value (thank you prop 13). Still decided to leave. Got a house almost 3x the size for the same price, and no homeless tents everywhere is a nice bonus.
A friend of mine kept them as pets. I was there once and watched one eat a piece of spaghetti. It held the noodle with both paws, sitting on its hind legs, and took bites while feeding it into its mouth "hand over hand". I have never really forgotten that. There was something so deliberate and skilled about this. No dumb beast, this, face down in a pile of food. This was an intelligent, fastidious creature enjoying a pasta dinner.
Idk if that's fair to Walmart, they are definitely trying to compete with Amazon via new efforts.
The biggest point that nobody talks about is the following:
Sadly it's about physical attractiveness (or visual super-stimulus). There is a gap between average man vs woman attractiveness that has massively increased since the 80s.
Why? The natural gap is low but culturally and increasingly, women wear more and more sexier clothes while men do not.
Moreover makeup has evolved and most "ugly" woman can appear sexy if they master the art of makeup, which again men culturally cannot.
Regarding the first point I do believe men should wear sexier clothes to reduce the gap, even if that imply the need to shave. But it's hard to change the accepted man aesthetics (e.g some people find Crop tops gays)
Regarding makeup I mostly don't believe men will use it before many decades or at best a subset of makeup.
So the gap will be reduced but still is and will remain high until a long time. Moreover it is increasing nowadays as tiktok and other social trends make heavy "doll" makeup mainstream.
I imagine legalizing a safe (controlled) intake of testosterone could help men reduce the gap.
Right-wing people will just have vague criticisms about high taxes.

The obvious low hanging bad-policy fruit in California is Prop 13 though.
The first thing I did after opening the article was: CTRL-F "nagle"
Homelessness is not unique to Caliifornia. Seattle and Portland have a big problem with it too. Heck, I’ve seen homeless in rural Indiana by the river and in London. California doesn’t have an answer to this, and I haven’t seen any proposals from either the right or the left that seem viable, but if Texas is so great maybe we should ship the homeless there.
Pluralsight is one of those teaching platforms that I feel is done right because it selects for pedagogical talent. It recognizes that not all who are good at their craft are necessarily good at teaching and it auditions (yes, I couldn't believe it when I first head this) for those who are. (Most MOOCs on the other hand don't do this, so course quality is crapshoot)

There are so many excellent instructors on Pluralsight who are unknowns in the industry but who are competent at organizing knowledge and communicating it in a way that is easy to absorb. (imagine a bunch Gary Bernhardts producing the courses)

I've had to pick up C# for a fairly complex project at work a few years ago (I'd been working in Linux environments for over a decade prior, so I already had the technical knowledge but was lacking familiarity with a Microsoft dev stack). As most people know, learning C# is more than just about learning the language. It's about navigating the Visual Studio environment and setting up an efficient workflow in the GUI. (Visual Studio conventions were and still are very different from how things are done in UNIX environments.) I started watching some videos on Pluralsight -- and went from knowing nothing to deploying production C# code in 2 weeks.

I would highly recommend Pluralsight to anyone needing to pick up Microsoft technology quickly.
NIMBYs oppose new construction because it keeps their property values high. They don't care about property values ballooning because they pay property taxes on the assessed values from when they bought, which is often decades ago, due to Prop 13. Prop 13 in general keeps things stagnant. For another example, there is no incentive to renovate/tear down/rebuild bigger because now you will pay significantly higher property taxes. Single family homes don't get turned into denser properties. The list of consequences goes on beyond my interest in it.
Not surprised. I’ll likely benefit from this, given my career trajectory. Unfortunately.
The more accurate conclusion is you get a vastly smaller population to choose from at extreme heights which largely offsets the slight height advantage, when looking at people who make the cut.
It’s wild to me that regulators have (for all intents and purposes) caught up with tech. Noone is claiming the internet is a series of tubes.

But tech’s swing towards AI-weighted vector graphs seems to be out of the regulator’s view. It’s almost like they are back at square one again.
What makes you think hackers or hacker news wants to identify as leftists, whatever that means, to begin with? I don't understand why would you take it for granted and why even think a huge website should share the same world view.
Question, is it doable on Mojave? I can't lose 32 bits apps.
Many time I thought something like this should exist, however it must be tricky to make wiki facts engaging. It's the value added of a guide to select the right path, talk about relevant subject, and form a group out of random visitors. I couldn't try the app, but seeing it realised makes me think it would be very challenging to convince people to use it
No, we use ATMegas for Keyboard and Video. About gaming and serial terminal – we had an idea to make it possible to have some pixel graphics run by our Apple-1 - e.g. to use ASCII codes above 127 as commands to video driver to set pixels or lines. Similar to how VGA registers work. So it still will be a kind of serial terminal, but it could draw graphics (TFT screen basically uses also serial connection via SPI).
Yeah having a house 3x the size is not great for you or the environment, given that people don’t use most of their houses ;-)
The goal of FTC order P205402 is stated as assisting “a study of such policies, practices, and procedures”. With that in mind, the somewhat arbitrary and limited choice of entities[0][1], hard deadlines[1], and scope of requested data[2] to me personally somewhat make sense.

[0] Given it’s a study, it seems overwhelmingly likely that the results will be extrapolated and generalized to the rest of the industry.

[1] The more time passes, the less representative the results would be. If there were more than nine entities chosen, a drawn-out review process would be essentially an advance warning.

[2] Yes, they are asking for a lot, but reporting being unable to provide certain type of data should be useful for the study still as absence of certain type of data is a meaningful result in itself.

I don’t have a strong opinion on other aspects (and it’s definitely no small feat to gather all the data), but at first approach—assuming good faith on the side of FTC—this order looks akin to a quiz of a random selection of school students with the aim not to praise or reprimand individuals but to assess the education system in general. Given enough advance notice, students would be drilled to ace specifically this quiz, negating its point.
This is still bad engineering on Netflix's part. You can't and shouldn't rely on your audio handler getting called on time via a timer in order to keep playback stable, especially not on a non latency sensitive use case, which Netflix very much isn't.

If you're doing real time audio, your processing loop needs to be directly driven by audio hardware buffer events/interrupts (through as many abstraction layers as you want, but a traceable event chain nonetheless, no sleeping guesswork or timers - and ideally all those threads should be marked real-time, never allocate any memory, and never lock or block on anything else). This is what serious real time audio systems like JACK do. And if you're not, you need to be capable of buffer filling way more than one frame's worth of audio - at least 100ms, preferably much more. Not just for robustness, but also for battery life.

Sure, there was an Android bug here, but the way Netflix designed this is fragile and, as someone who has messed with audio/video programming enough, wrong. Had they done things properly, they would've been insulated from this OS bug.

This kind of bug is best used as a learning experience: what happened here consistently and resulted in completely destroyed playback on one device, is something that has always been happening sporadically and hurting all of your users whenever something causes the CPU to stall or slow for long enough to miss the deadline anyway. Instead of just fixing the bug, make your software robust against these cases, and then all your users win.
There appears to be no problem here: California is still the same sunny beautiful state and its now hopefully going to become slightly more affordable to a different class of people. At the same time, Texas gets an opportunity to get more "averaged" giving more opportunities for the popular vote and electoral college to be correlated.
If my understanding is right, if you purchase a house and you (or your kids) have been living in it continuously you pay taxes on the original purchase price, rather than current value.

These tax savings pass to homeowner families who stay in one location for multiple decades, especially as land values rise.

Homeowners are very opposed to being displaced, since moving means their taxes would reset to a higher level.

Renters are excluded from these savings.
> Isn't that a shame, well at least we could then hold our heads high.

I already do.
Google is on the list, they have submitted to a similar agreement to be able to work in China. This reeks more like a see what you can get on the way out. 45 days from today is 1/28, one week after the inauguration. A decent time period where they will be a lot going on and confusion, that could allow underhanded tactics leeway to work.
Only to the extent that it makes single family homes unaffordable. Lower taxes incentivize building any type of housing, and cheaper rent for multi-family buildings.
It is worth noting that the Bay Area is impressively diverse already, especially when considering how remarkably not-diverse cities were not that long ago. Cities like San Leandro went from 99.3% white in the 60s to having no racial majority today.

I'd argue that one should step out of their tech bubble and experience the awesome cultures that already exist within the Bay.
They didn't say how they fixed it. I doubt the vendor updated the Android version. Did Netflix make a change to ensure they're always making the thread in the foreground?
You think someone's obituary is maybe not the place to discuss something like that?

ZIFs are on our test board for our breadboards kit schematics – they are used (as you have mentioned) to insert/remove chips for testing. And fast check of ROM firmware for it's updates.

So we've built a test PCB board to test fast our chips and schematics.
I did it the other way... Bought a cheap 4k@60Hz 50 inch TV ... cost me around AUD$400. I was doing multi screen before, but I like this better I have effectively 4x 1080p screens in a 2x2 array. The only downside is the tv forgets my backlight preferences on any source change or power cycle.
Schools train people to believe the TV, and to think of the people who don't believe the TV as dangerous. It's terrifying.
Yes there are poor regions which are less developed than 18th century European cities. Many places in the world still do not have refrigeration, running water, electricity, sewers, paved roads, mechanized farming/milling/textile production, etc.

People carry their own water, chop their own firewood, cook over a hearth fire in small hand-made thatched mud huts, make their own furniture, grow their own food (possibly using animals to plough), prepare their own food by hand from scratch, make their own clothing, do their laundry in a stream, poop in the woods or in an outhouse, clean themselves in a sweat bath or with a damp cloth, carry goods from place to place on their backs or in simple unpowered carts, etc.

Though there are fewer and fewer such places as time goes on. For instance rural Mexico has changed dramatically in the past 2 generations.
iOS Safari, doesn't matter the OS version, their redesigned site has been broken for years.
I always wonder if these commenters even live here? I moved from (edit: one of) the most deregulated states in the Union to CA and I have yet to see any tangible example of this.

I’d like to know what specific events or changes or limits on freedom are being referenced. I’m even a (very prolific) gun owner, and found CA’s laws to be perfectly reasonable for my self-defense and hunting/sporting needs.

Seems like a lot of anti-CA hype so far; perfectly fine with being proven wrong, but just don’t see the real world evidence to back these claims.
> But then the subsequent releases of MacOS just couldn't do that.

I wish Jetbrains could do what they did with .NET which is Resharper. A plugin for Visual Studio that brought IntelliJ like features and smartness to it. It was a breeze.

Unfortunately I don't think XCode is built to handle third party vendors plugins and it never will (which is why Appcode exists in the first place).
Often in histories of slavery, the slaves don't speak. If you want to hear their voices, read "Slave Testimony," edited by John Blassingame. It's stunning in length and detail. Not all suffered the same slavery we know today.

This passage is by an enslaved (interviewed by the American Freedmen's Inquiry Commission) in Kentucky, 1963, named Charlotte
"I belong to Gen. Thos. Strange. I have two boys. I pay a dollar a week to him, and support myself and children, and pay my house rent. I have been hiring myself for over fifteen years; I get along very well, and keep the hire paid up. You couldn't pay me to live at home, if I could help myself. My master doesn't supply me with anything -- not even a little medicine -- no more than if I didn't belong to him. Each of my children pays him $2.00 a week. They work in tobacconist shops. I support them. One of my boys is thirteen years old and the other seventeen. They get $2 a week pay. If the boys make more than $2 a week a piece I get what is over; if they don't make that, I have to make it good to him. He has got to have it Saturday night, sure. I have not had good health. Sometimes I am ailing, but I always keep up enough to try to make my wages. I have only one room, and pay three dollars a month for it. I live by washing."
They had a dispute, and filed a court case, which was dismissed. What’s undemocratic about that? If they ignored the court verdict, that would be rejection of constitution and of republican system of government, sure. However, addressing legal and constitutional complaints through justice system is as constitutional and small-r republican as one can get.
Hmm. "Non-consensual porn" has nothing at all to do with the question being asked.
I don’t really understand this article. It says that we can want things we don’t like. It implies there is a paradox, but I don’t think there is.

Wanting is in the future. Liking is in the present. Wanting is the belief that I will like something.

The question unanswered by the article is, if I want something that I later don’t like, what do I believe at the time of wanting? Do I believe I will like it? Might like it? Hope I will like it?

That’s what addiction is to me. It is the irrational hope that I will like what I want, even if I know in my heart that I won’t.
