Please let us judge the arguments first. If they raise questions, that would be the time to bring up his past. Probably not even then, ad hominem and all that...

If the author’s arguments are silly, that will suffice.
It also adds a lot of complexity if you want to change anything. Want to remodel your kitchen and move the fridge to the other side? Now you have to reroute refrigerant lines. Want to add a second fridge in the garage? Is your outdoor compressor large enough to handle it? You have to run new lines to it, maybe replace the compressor, or add a second one. Way more expensive and complex than just buying a refrigerator at Home Depot and plugging it in.
If your idea of "privilege" is fighting heroin addiction [and currently very much winning that battle, thankfully] and living on the streets of West Palm Beach because due to felony drug possession charges over 15 years ago I can't get hired anywhere, than yes, "you and I" are most definitely that.
Ya, but I doubt that is the case with actions, because I don't think you really have full access to everything. You provide a yaml file and their software runs that yaml which could easily exclude any dangerous commands. Plus, github offers a hosted runner service where you pay for a dedicated VM to run your actions in. So that makes it seem like actions are probably run together on larger VMs by default.
That's not typical of California landlords because of Prop 13. The tax benefits entirely shifts the market towards the benefit of properties that have been in the same hands for a very long time. So building new units will be far less profitable than old buildings, long-held, without any significant renovation. It's very rare to find an existing property on the market that is profitable to rent out at current market prices, because there's a lot of anticipated value gains built in to current prices.

In cities with zoning constraints, developers are the only natural predators of landlords. They are entirely different skillsets, building new units requires managing an extremely difficult political process for permits, raising capital, working with contractors and labor, etc. Being a landlord requires very different analysis and skills.

There may be a few landlords with the capacity to cross over to development too, but it isn't many of them.

Sustainable timber. Given it's popularity as a building material (at least in Australia) I'm surprised there isn't more research into genetically modifying trees to grow quickly / have desirable characteristics for construction / need less land and water. I wonder if lab grown timber is a possibility. (I could also imagine a GM'd fast growing tree becoming a ecological disaster though...)

Well, if lambdas are using VMs and have sub-second launch times, I don't think using a lot of github actions would cause much overhead.
Integrating Zoom Using PHP
Hey,

I want to integrate the zoom in a website where online classes would be conducted. There may be at least 8 classes/meetings at a time. It should be on my website interface and shouldn't redirect to the zoom website for meetings. I want these integration done by PHP because whole the website is developed on PHP and there would some data stored in the database regards to meetings/classes. I searched a lot for this on google but couldn't find a way to do it in PHP. I think it may be something easy for JavaScript developers as mostly guidance/tutorials/ways for JavaScript/nodejs. But I'm unable to find a way for that in PHP.

Maybe there would another way rather than using zoom to achieve the goal.

I'm just posting here to get the idea if that is possible in PHP or someone has done it in past and provide me some information/help regards to this project.

Any suggestions and help would be highly appreciatable.

Thanks!!!

A childhood friend, now a plumber doing work for high-security installations was making more than me. He is not the smartest. His dad is a lifer from the system and his mom is on the zoning comish.

Trades that are easy to learn build a fence around themselves, just like everyone else. Certifications, permits, mandatory insurance and lack of documentation. You are expected to earn less as an apprentice to "pay off your dues". A different trade with "make your bones" comes to mind.

So to learn yourself, you also have to learn to identify niches that would be easy for you to enter, but not for the competition. That is hard.
This blog could be summarized to fit into a tweet without losing any value.
Exact same question I would have. These are not paper launches, but the very well smell like one in terms of the quantity out there.
The article talks about a, presumably, Kazakh national being locked up in a forced labour camp.

Two questions: is Dina Nurdybai Chinese or Kazakh? If Kazakh, how did she end up in that camp if the police took her from her home in Almaty? Is Kazakhstan sending their own people to those camps too?
> and a history feature that lacks full-text search of content

...and a history feature that's nearly unusable. I don't even trust it anymore - Chrome's history UI feels like it's losing information, and there've been plenty of times I'm 99% I visited a page few days or weeks before, but it's nowhere to be found in history. And honestly, I don't even need full-text search. I need a table with the following columns: page URL, page title, and access time. I need that table to be sortable by these columns, and filterable by their values.

In a way, we've regressed from the days of IE 5, back from the time where browser cache was a folder. Because back then, I could open that folder, sort it by date, and guess the sites I visited from the name of the files - that being a much better UX than what I get in Firefox today.
Yup, that was my motivation for rewriting the parent statement. Abstracting away the type of counter and just saying, "show the number only when you crossed it" basically.
Perhaps it is good manners to close a loop that resulted in a dead end. But I honestly don't think anyone owes me anything, not even a "we're sorry". I seem to be lacking a certain sense of entitlement I guess.
I love this, and have mentioned it on HN elsewhere before. For example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24267176

Around the time the comic first came out, I wish I'd seen it earlier, since I hadn't been skeptical enough of "magazine visionaries". He hit some of the traits and behaviors on the head.
Most of his books are fantastic.

Fall Or Dodge In Hell is the book referenced and it's a loose sequel to REAMDE. (Which is a really fun techno-thriller novel that explores what happens when ransomeware locks up some very bad people's computers.)

Cryptonomicon is a fantastic fictionalization of Alan Turing and breaking the enigma code combined with a cool story about what encryption can do in the future.

Snowcrash is probably his most famous and is very cyberpunk and awesome. (Not my favorite of his though.)
I reinstalled my OS (actually, a jump to an adjacent distro) just last night and was thankful I had set up a dotfiles manager (yadm [0]). yadm is a git wrapper, so a yadm repository is pretty much a git repository.

`yay -Qe | cut -f 1 -d " " > .config/packages.txt` to back up my packages (without version), push to remote, and then `cd ~ && yadm clone -f <remote> && yay -S $(cat .config/packages.txt)` to reinstall everything. Piece of cake.

The only thing I am missing is tracking system files, like /etc/pacman.conf, and it looks like there's a way to do it with yadm, but it looks a bit clunky and I haven't tried.

> It just means that organizations smaller than NYT or WaPo will make proportionally less money, which would be true of any monetization method.

You should look at the math in the article I linked. It's proportional to the aggregate of everybody - which basically completely disconnects it from what individual users listen to.

For example: Spotify only has 2 users. User A listens to 10 hours of Drake. User B listens to 90 hours of Kid Cudi. Even though User A and User B both pay $10 and have very exclusively chosen their musical preferences, Kid Cudi gets 90% of the total pool of money.

To put this in another perspective - imagine if someone on Netflix just looped Shit Show A 24/7 and there were 24 other users who watched Good Shit X,Y,Z... for exactly 1 hour every day. Netflix would allocate funding equally between the 1 Shit Show A that the 1 user watched and everything else that the 24 other users watched, even though that 1 show only actually generated 4% of their revenue. It doesn't make sense from a user perspective.

As the numbers increase to the ~100MM paid users of Spotify or Netflix, disparity increases between casual users and power users, it all sort of explodes to amplify all of the earnings to a select few.

What this means is the big guys dominate everything. I realize the music industry has shifted from touring to sell records, to streaming to sell concert tickets - but how do you do that for newspapers? Newspapers can't do anything equivalent to concerts. At that point they're just news stations, which really aren't the same as concerts from a business perspective.
Voice assistant technology. It seems like Alexa and Siri keep getting more features and integrations (one far more than the other) but the actual language processing is rather basic. A different way of phrasing something throws off the assistant entirely, or your basically using a hard-coded menu just with your voice.
Correctly rounding to the nearest second is exactly the behaviour that I expect from a timer.

>affordable sata SSD

This. Even 100MB/s SSD will do. We need a type of NAND and SSD that offers High Capacity and low speed and low cost. The Current 2TB is ~$170, compared to a 2TB Portable HDD at ~$60.

And I am wondering, if Silent File Corruption, bitrot etc are things of the past on SSD? Does BTRFS / ZFS even make sense on SSD?

Technology to store greenhouse gases
There are plenty of ways to limit the public's consumption of processed foods and sugar in particular. There are other means to achieve this goal than making every shop jump through hoops to comply with this legislation that doesn't (at least from what I can find in the article) have any empirical evidence that these areas of the store account for a significant portion of sales of these items and puts stores in a bind to fill that space with other goods. I mean what are they supposed to do, put flax seed and vegetables at the end of every aisle and checkout lane?
Thanks, good advice! Wanted to see if there were any options in advance, since it's hard to research online.

Why not pretend Swift doesn't exist and just use Objective-C instead? It's stable, it's well-understood, there's a ton of examples and docs everywhere and it hasn't changed much in a decade.

I'm mainly an Android developer, so I've never made anything serious for the Apple ecosystem (only some tiny Mac apps for myself), but I just hate moving targets with burning passion. It's hilarious to look at all the "community" with their Kotlin and support libraries and jetpack and other abstract-the-evil-OS-away stuff changing and breaking everything three times a month while the only changes I see myself are those to the raw underlying system APIs whenever there's a major OS release.
Anything “supports HTTPS” if you count putting an HTTPS proxy in front of it. In other words, S3 does not support HTTPS, but you can work around that limitation by combining it with other services.

My personal website is low-traffic, it’s not going to be very hot in any CDN caches. Based on my experiences with S3 performance, adding another layer of cache misses in front of it is probably just going to slow things down.

Even further than this, the type of camera found on most drones is quite terrible for detailed surveillance work. Even if it does have a "high definition" camera recording to local storage these are Gopro style lenses with massive FOV, fisheye distortion and calibrated to handle a very wide range of light exposure up to and including direct sun. Shooting meaningful video through a window is a joke at best. As you've identified the noise generated at distances close enough to resolve any meaningful detail are even more comical

Large lenses are very heavy and benefit greatly from a stable platform. Tripods and low earth orbit are preferred by spies of consequence.
No, it just means the person has the ability to purchase. They could be purchasing it for themselves or on the behalf of another organization.

I think the point being made is that if you support Prop 13, you either a) are wildly misinformed about its effects, or b) don't care about its effects because you are in the privileged group that benefits from it at the expense of others.

(Whether or not the assumptions behind this assumption are true is of course up for debate, though I personally tend to believe Prop 13 is a bad deal, even for those who think they benefit from it.)
>> I'll also point out that I did collect usage stats for a time, and they were horrific. At my peak I had ~5000 installs and out of those 5k something like 3-5 searches/day was the norm.[2]

Here's then a problem I wish people worked more on: structural support for products/features that are used rarely, but when they're needed, they're really needed. Browser history interface falls under this: it's rarely needed, but when you open it, it's usually because you really need to find something again that's not easily found through web search.
Ask HN: What are you surprised isn’t being worked on less?
Everyone on HN is cheering the relaxation of these rules but I'm angry because of concerns similar to yours. I'm now of the mind of "if you can't fight them join them", I want regulation-free counter-attack drones that destroy any drones that approach my property. But I'm really afraid that this robot vs robot future that we keep rushing towards is not one that we should be creating.
That's true, at some level of abstraction you stop caring practically about openness. That line has shifted, and it points to hardware being commoditized more than lock-in. Do you care who made your logic gates or if it's documented?
It doesn't solve the actual underlying problem, but you can enter the definitions in Anki. I bet you'll be able to memorize all of them after 30 days like a law or medical student. Okay, it's a stupid idea, stop laughing... But seriously, if you decide it's worth your life to spend 10 minutes each day for a month to memorize the stupid commands of a dotfile manager, it really works. I had some success on remembering Vim movement commands.
This function is receiving a product and a user as arguments. Why would it do any IO?

Anyway, CRUD does really not lead to clear "is IO"/"isn't IO" boundaries, and the business logic isn't a good candidate for separating from IO into a pure core. Instead, it is a great candidate for separating into a "with business data" context that is neither simple IO nor pure.

On the implementation of that "with business data" context you will find plenty of opportunities to push IO to the boundaries of complex code that will become pure. But your intuition is correct, what you are missing is that the code can be broken on more dimensions than the ones you are assuming.
Most big tech companies use this internally. Google "beyondcorp" works this way.
Yeah. And that too if you are willing to ignore the really slow speed to write them all!

Great interview. Makes me want to learn assembly programming (perhaps ARM64 since that seems to be the latest hotness thanks to the M1).

I also enjoyed this interview on the upcoming JIT/AOT for the BEAM: https://thinkingelixir.com/podcast-episodes/017-jit-compiler...
I don't know that synchronizing with acquire-release is enough to make LLVM happy in this case. Mutable references are tagged with the LLVM noalias attribute. Rust language folks are very adamant about how wrong it is to end up with multiple aliases tagged with noalias. This is playing with fire.

The parent clarifies above that they are not a home user.

Even if you believed they were a home user, they
clearly demonstrated in their original comment that they did know that it was for long-term, high volume storage, and they did know the cost, and you appeared still to belittle them for not knowing.

It's a question in the sense of - why did you choose to say it in this way, which seemed impolite? What did you intend your comment to add?
How would it tell that something is wrong? Like, it went through a wall, and the app let it do so - what’s the problem?

Testing non-deterministic code paths are a really hard problem because you don’t really know what to test for.
> The prices are much cheaper now. You can get a single tape drive for under $300 and enterprise grade single tape drives for under $3k.

Those tapes only hold 200 GB, and you can get a 10 TB hard drive today for less than $300:

https://www.newegg.com/red-wd101efax-10tb/p/N82E16822234407

While tapes are theoretically cool, the the drives are just too rare for them to be of any practical value to a home user. Even if the media has a better archival life than a hard disk (say 50 years), it won't do you a damn bit of good if there are no drives available in 50 years to read it.

IMHO, hard drives are better for backup (even offline backup, just get a hot-swap bay and imagine the drive is tape [1]). Archival is a harder problem, but I've settled on using high-grade optical media, burned slow for fewer errors, making a bunch of redundant copies. Even though the media might not last as long, I'm pretty much guaranteed to be able to find a drive for the next several decades [2].

[1] "pretend this hard drive is a tape" is even an enterprise product: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RDX_Technology

I have seen a lot of comments on Hacker News that I thought were mean. This isn't one of them.

Rounding is something I learned in elementary school. If someone in elementary school was unfamiliar with rounding, it would be mean to take them to task about it. But this writer is an adult, a professional programmer, and presumes to be a teacher, by taking the time to publish an article about the subject.

In fact, the writer has even less excuse, because he knows about rounding. Twice he mentions "rounding down". So it is all the more baffling that he did not call what Apple was doing, simply, "rounding up". Instead he wrote a multi-paragraph blog post about adding 500 milliseconds of "fake time", then having to duct-tape over that by making the timer say "0" when the timer reached 500 ms.

Suppose a man bills himself as a car salesman, but every question you ask him about the car, he says the wrong thing. He says the car has 3 wheels when it has 4. He says it is red when it is black. He says the engine is in the back when it is in the front. Would it be mean for you to mention his title, by saying something like, "You say you are a car salesman, but you don't know about this car on your lot." It is right to call someone out for being less than what they say they are.

As for random blog posts on the internet, this isn't so surprising. What's surprising is that it wound up on Hacker News with over 100 votes.
In a lot of places, the old PTSN is the only connection. I've been in places where the number of phones in one space made data use impossible, but I could still place a call just fine. In some phones, you can even force data to 1G to use the voice frequencies and avoid using the LTE frequencies.
