I hope you’re satisfied with your morality when you’re old and on the wrong side of the line.
Nobody moves to SF for the community. They come for the high paying jobs.
There is plenty of bad code in startups too.

I am surprised they did not use CloudWatch logs in AWS. I am sure they are not the least cost log service but it simple to get logs in and out of it.

Hypothetically a hospital could have an embedded software development unit and they could work from a base of open source software. A challenge here is that a hospital is a social hierarchy in which a software developer without professional associations, unions, etc. might not be treated fairly by nurses, doctors, and other licensed practitioners.

I know more than one MD who decided to skip the hazing of residency and board certification and go into medical software development.
It's hard to describe but you can feel something similar if you take melatonin supplement and then don't sleep well. But the body produced melatonin doesn't give you a hangover like feeling.
I’m not talking about rent control as it is currently done in San Francisco. We need more. Like you say, rent control should also apply when a new tenant moves in. A landlord should not be allowed to raise the rent arbitrarily when a new tenant moves in.

Also rent control should not be the only measure. The county should also buy up housing and rent for cheaper to drive the market rate down, price gauging should be illegal (for everyone, not just foreign investors). etc.
Though this is not an uncommon view in SF at the moment, I find it horrifying. What has made SF such a great place from the 1970s to ~2010 has been its willingness to accept new people, including the strange and the weird. That's not to say that it's been a great city for everyone, the first-wave gentrifiers from the 1960s pushed out Black people from the neighborhoods they took over, like Haight Ashbury, and the downzonings they enacted over the city have greatly amplified their material wealth while keeping out those without wealthy.

But for a brief 40 years before the super-constriction of supply happened, it was a welcoming place to lots of people that couldn't find homes elsewhere, because there were at least some empty places to rent out.

What drives up the prices isn't that people with big salaries are there, they've always been there. What's driving up the rents is that the people with big real estate holdings have said that the people with paychecks can't build anything new. So instead of those big paychecks going to building more infrastructure and subsidized low-income housing, those big paychecks are going only to current landlords, and pushing out anybody without a big paycheck.

SF housing is a game of musical chairs, and all the people that found their chair in the 1970s and 1980s easily because there were lots of empty chairs have decided that there should be no more chairs. That provincial, close-minded, and ultimately xenophobic attitude is what makes the housing market so unfair.
It may surprise you to learn that moving is expensive and difficult
CT went this way as well, eventually the businesses look to follow residents - particularly younger residents who can't afford the inflated rent or down payments.
That's basically what happened. There is an overabundance of jobs but since there is no need to live in San Francisco the fundamental mismatch between commercial and residential property has been resolved temporarily.

Neurologists Weigh in Against Police Use of Neck Restraints
In Seattle, I asked for them to fix the internet and run an ethernet cable to my unit instead of relying on their spotty wifi. They said they wouldn't and they're raising rent a few percent. I declined to renew my lease as well. Some landlords are ridiculous. Hope they enjoy their massive spiking vacancy rates.
Arguably, mac minis are servers that can be repurposed as desktops. Even in their marketing blurbs Apple advertises mac minis as build and render farms.
Somewhat surprising since unlike their customers, there's no license restriction to Apple running macOS on different hardware. Maybe they didn't want to maintain a separate fork only for internal use. And having their own OS makes it more challenging to port apps to AWS/Azure.
> Most people avoid washing waterproof gear often (and particularly not at high temps), since it’s believed to damage the waterproofing.

Which is completely wrong. The PTFE pores will get clogged with skin oil, leading to more internal condensation, and the wax (the part referred to as "Durably Water Repellent," which is a hugely fraudulent marketing claim, as there is nothing durable about it) impregnated into the outer woven textile layer is less effective if there is moisture-wicking dirt on the outer layer, or the wax has rubbed off. In fact the wax is melted into the yarns of the outer woven fabric at about 40°C. To "re-activate" the DWR, most manufacturers recommend putting the garment in the dryer at 40°C for about half an hour. This re-melts the wax and wicks it into the parts of the yarn where it has rubbed off. Incidentally, Arc'Teryx recommends washing PTFE garments at 40°C as well.

The biggest scam in the waterproof-breathable garment industry (and that is saying a lot) are the so-called "2.5 layer" garments. Instead of being sandwiched between two woven textile layers, the PTFE film is coated directly on the inside of the outer layer, then some kind of ink or paint (yes, really) is printed over the PTFE layer for "durability." In 2.5 layer garments, the PTFE will start to flake off in a couple of years at most from abrasion with the clothes you wear underneath and bending and flexing of the outer textile layer (this has nothing to do with the acidity of skin oil - another completely fraudulent marketing claim I have seen as an attempt by retailers/manufacturers to deny warranty claims for "improper care"). These flakes (which is where all the PTFE is) will end up going down the drain, and you will have a ruined garment that is impossible to repair. 2.5 layer garments continue to be sold, because the manufacturing process is so cheap. I do not understand how there has not been a class-action lawsuit about this yet.
Extremely bad take, from somebody who has clearly not worked in AAA games, but believes all the things that gamers post on reddit. A few points:

1) you can only test-driven-develop so much in games, and that line usually stops at the engine level because the game itself is in flux so much. Automated testing is confined to making sure that checkins build on every platform. Game dev engineering is fundamentally different than programming in other fields because the goal posts move constantly.

2) If an engineer writes code expecting there to be no more than 1024 physics objects in the system, tells the designers and artists this, but then they turn around put in 2000 colliding pieces of silverware on a dinner table "because it needs to feel like a big feast" is that an engineering problem, or an art and asset management problem? Because something like 80% of my bugs are shit like this.

3) Professional game codebases use their own styles (i hesitate to say dialects) of C++ that do the things we need them to do the ways we need to do them. We don't use anybody else's framework; all of the bonus stuff we're doing lives in macros that can be inspected if an issue arises. But, please don't push your language purism on anybody else. What a tired argument to have.
Genetic algorithms randomly change things and then test to see if they're better. Reinforcement learning does analysis on past observations and then makes deliberate improvements.
I've been working professionally on a UE4 game with a license to the full UE4 engine codebase, I can confirm that the engine has some unit and functional tests, but the overall coverage is abysmally low.

First, really appreciate the engagement here. This is a hugely important problem and this interview and your presentation of it is a great contribution.

I think one of the things that gets lost when we talk about Eroom's law is that the original data points were established before congress passed the Kefauver-Harris amendments in 1962 which set standards for clinical trials, iNDA process, and basically required that drugs show efficacy before they could be marketed.

An important part of those amendments is they made the drug companies go back and review the 4,000 drugs already on the market and provide evidence on their efficacy. It took FDA a long time to work through that backlog, but when they did:

"In January 1968, the Drug Efficacy Study panels finally reported their conclusions to the FDA. They had reviewed over 16,500 therapeutic claims for 4,000 pre-1962 drugs. Only 434, about 12 percent of those examined, delivered on all their promised claims. Seven hundred and sixty-nine were marked as 'ineffective'" [0].

I bring that up to say two things:

1) Our baseline in examining Eroom's law is a bit skewed because standards have been going up since the graph begins.

2) We should be careful in how we change those standards. Many of them were bought with patients lives.

I need to go now, but I do want to address your comment on pricing later.

Thank you again. Really great work.

One of the rules on these Macs in AWS is that you have to rent them for a minimum of 24 hours at a time and you have to rent the whole machine.

I think they don't want to cannibalize Mac sales. If you want to make an iPhone app, you have to buy a Mac to do it. They don't want to make it easy for you to rent one just to compile the app.
I don't have a coach. I guess I don't really see good cost-benefit model for using one.

I can't believe that 11 months in and 1.7 million confirmed people dead, 350K of those your countrymen and I don't know how many people gravely ill and or affected for life that you are still on the 'let's downplay COVID-19' bandwagon.

Didn't you learn anything at all in the last 11 months? I recall you categorically dismissing it and claiming that it was going to all be over in a couple of months. Here we are, almost a year later, the worst is yet to come - in spite of a vaccine, the roll-out is obviously not going to be instantaneous - and still you're harping away in every COVID-19 related thread minimizing whatever is written. It really is astounding.
From what I can tell reading this: the Accelerate framework from Apple seems to use custom instructions possibly unique to the M1 chip but potentially similar to Intel AMX. Accelerate is, as I sort of understand it- a way to do advanced math in a very quick / power efficient way. It is touted as deeply integrated with Apple processors from the day it launched and (I think) even recommended to be used over SIMD and the sort (I could certainly be very wrong about this). It dove tails with some of the machine learning work Apple did as well, is portable among Apple systems, and can be assumed to be optimized.

Ninja edit: I’ve not seen how it was achieved until now, but a custom ISA extension isn’t wholly surprising.

Edit 2: as for why this is significant.. I’m not sure it is. It is interesting to know how Accelerate can pull off what it does though. IIRC there are other machine learning frameworks which take advantage of the neural engine- but Accelerate possibly doesn’t- despite having machine learning capabilities.
I'm actually working on this + pull requests
I'm not sure rent control works that way. I think it only depends on the base rent, which is the rent in the year you moved in. I don't think later reductions reduce the base rent.

Which implies if you want to lock in lower rent with respect to rent control, you have to start a new lease in a different location.

Annuity buy-backs, anyone?

Someone at Wall Street must have thought of that and pitched the securitisation already. Think about it - large companies agreeing up front to spend a minimum of X billion a year buying back their stock. And then WS banks parceling both sides of the risk and exposure to investors seeking anything with non-negligible yield.
> Don’t mistake the failures of some games or studios as a valid indictment of the industry.

It's an industry focused intentionally on as minimal as possible code and best practice sharing for fear of talent poaching/project poaching. It's an industry where the "best practice" is still reinvent as many wheels as possible every other game and open source little to nothing. The worst mistakes of the worst games/studios should likely remain a valid indictment of the industry as a whole when the industry itself is so focused on making sure the tide rises as few boats as possible.
I have a friend living there now so it’s still inhabited, says his place is in pretty bad shape though.
Looking at the bookshelf at preschool books, and only including ones with children, I see two :Pirates next door" books, both starting in "Dull-on-sea, a gloomy seaside town", and some Alfie books (where Mum takes him to various locations where he has magical adventures - diving into a swimming pool and being abducted by pirates, been driven to school but it's actually and alien school, etc)

I don't get this hate at suburbs either, unless it's by 30-somethings that love their city lives but now want kids and are trying to convince everyone that the city is the best place. If you think that, that's fine, plenty want space and open air.

There does seem to be an issue with American suburbs though. Every suburb in the UK I can think of has pavements down the side of every road, has a primary school within walking distance, a secondary school in biking distance, a bus stop within half a mile. Indeed there are specific limits like "distance to supermarket", "distance to postbox", etc which come into the planning process.

We also have a National Planning Policy Framework, which states things like

give priority to pedestrian and cycle movements, and have access to high quality public transport facilities

and

create safe and secure layouts which minimise conflicts between traffic and cyclists or pedestrians, avoiding street clutter and where appropriate establishing home zones

New developments have to provide appropriate public open space in them, the larger the development, the more space, but as a rule of thumb a development of 400 houses will have a large multi use game area (basket ball, 5-a-side soccer, etc), playground, and an acre of two of informal green space, far more than in a city or town centre.

There's nothing wrong with suburbs, just how they are implemented.
You have to love the uninformed nationalism when these topics come up. I feel this [0] image perfectly illustrates it. It's not just that plenty of people simply have no idea what they're using as we speak (they will just judge based on some nationalistic sense of value) but some will keep touting "the principle" because it makes it easier to rationalize while actually being perfectly OK with the black box definitely spying them for "home team" rather then the black box that may be spying them for "away team". Not referring to any particular black box here.

Sure, but...

> If the city won't allow enough housing to keep your area affordable, you have a right to feel aggrieved

The city is not the one preventing more development. It's overwhelmingly these xenophobic residents that are responsible for that. I don't have much sympathy for people aggrieved by shooting themselves in the foot.

Isn't this essentially a Clickjacking bug? Doesn't the victim have to (1) deliberately have a sensitive document open, (2) be somehow framed by an attacker's malicious IFrame, and then (3) click the "submit feedback" button to report a problem to Google?

All three of those conditions are independently rare. The equivalent conditions are rare in all CJ bugs, which is a reason CJs are sort of a running joke in appsec. This bug isn't a joke (look at the target and the impact), but condition (3) is also way more unlikely than the median CJ report somewhere else.

If I understand the bug correctly --- maybe I don't --- this researcher got what might perhaps be the largest bounty ever paid for a CJ bug.

'Triple A' as in purported quality. I say purported because it's typically associated with big budgets. Blockbuster games if you will. I find it's a pretty unhelpful designation.
Don't compete on commodity crops to start.
A different interpretation is that large companies are able to find bugs of this magnitude on their own on a weekly basis, and fix them before the public hears about them at all.

How was living through the 80s? I wasn't born then but find the subculture fascinating.

Did you make gazillions from being invested in tech through the 90s until now (lots of assumptions made here).

I'm a little confused. I understand you can sue people for redistributing your work/content. But how can you put up your content for free and then sue people for only downloading it? Was the guy with the Venezuela IP also redistributing it?
Neat, although with Wikipedia dealing largely with sentence-based text, I was hoping for something that does text-to-speech. It would be cool if for each edit a voice would read the article title and the updated sentence(s).
> I guess he decided raising his child would cut too much into his savings rates.

Mmmm no it’s not that simple, but it’s a long story. Last I heard he was presumed homeless.
I would phrase it a little differently. There is labor and capital. And the way things are going is that most of the returns are going to capital, not labor. Save and invest as much as you can, because I don’t see this changing.
You do need to actually "give feedback" to trigger this, which seems a bit far off for a corporate worker - might be why they didn't think this was high impact, of course it should have been higher though.
What seems weird to me is that in this case, the copyright owner himself (or someone acting on his behalf) uploads the video to a torrent site.

How is that not "granting permission" to whoever subsequently download the video?

Seems like an easy defense would be having the site add a small section about that in their TOS.
See the comment from the Show HN creator:

> "I joined this sub for the purpose of buying stuff like lifetime warranty backpacks, tools, camp gear, kitchen wear ect. Yet this sub has basically became an Instagram for the old shit people find in they're grandparents house which offers no benefit to me now. I'm not going to buy, nor could I even find a kitchen aid mixer you grandma still uses from the 70s. Most stuff back then was made to last, we know that. I want stuff thats still made today with quality."

So that's the problem, I don't want to buy old stuff, I want to know what to buy today that will last.
I'm not sure why you're being downvoted; it might not be the reason but I feel like it's a reason based on personal experience.

I've been both a BTC skeptic and advocate in the past; I was recently brought back from skepticism by the massive US stimulus and the "if we can pay for corporate bailouts, we can pay off all student debt" line of thinking. I'm not even against those policies, but I'd prefer to have my currency not denominated in USD.
Is there some licensing issue with Apple that requires this minimum monthly usage?

It appears aws is charging $1/hr with a 24 hr minimum which is similar to every other provider out there that is offering MacOS instances.

I was excited to see that AWS was offering these as I assumed it would be priced just like everything else - hourly with no minimums.

I literally need access a few hrs a month for submitting binary updates to the app store. And I suspect there are a lot of other users with this same use case which may explain the consistent policy of minimum monthly usage.
It also means that any binaries built to use those instructions won't run on any non-Apple ARM64 CPUs, at least not easily. Sort of like how early-era Intel Hackintosh users had to have CPUs with SSE3 support or wait/hope for SSE2 patches.
git fetch upstream ; git rebase -i upstream/master isn't that hard.
From my limited understanding: it looks like a matrix coprocessor, and implies that hardware-accelerated matrix processing has been built into the M1.

Matrix processing comes in useful for AI/ML/CV-type applications. It's something GPUs are generally very good for.

Of course that's the point - much better than oil/gas/coal. Yes ideally we'd like energy with no downside. Burning renewables is a great compliment to solar/wind.
