> Last time I was in the Rust discord, their channel logo was literally the rust logo over a the gay flag with lines for black and brown people added. Wtf?

This sort of hateful comment is why the tech industry is a horrible place. Even in the best pockets of the tech industry, like HN, intolerance is treated as a legitimate enough perspective to be worthy of endless debate.

And then people furrow their brows over why tech's demographics are so warped. eye roll

There's no fix, no hope. The tech tradition of "open debate" guarantees an endless supply of comments like this.
To be fair EUR13K is not unheard of. But he should sue, might as well pile on some risk and mitigate the damage.
Of course it's not how it's supposed to work, but that is how it tends to work ;-)

An OS in general has a few layers with caches and monitors and resolvers etc, and if you block a few of them, in a partial manner, they tend to get in to an extreme version of the bus bunching problem. Windows still does that with their 'network identification' where sometimes something goes wrong in the probing process and the connection hangs on "identifying" indefinitely. And that's just a silly "optional" service (which should default to the public profile and only change from there instead of defaulting to no connection at all).
And you could overclock them almost 50% and at factory speeds they didn't need a fan, just a heatsink. Those were the days.
> Sure, why not 6 months?

Because the first WWDC preview version of Big Sur was released to developers on June 22, 2020, and Big Sur was released to the public on November 12, 2020, so Apple needs to be able to fix issues identified during the beta period much quicker than in 6 months.
> Given that this is the very first time I've heard about the German mile, I would assume that <1% of the population knows about it, and they'd probably consider a "mile" either the US thing if they are familiar with it due to travel, or most likely with "some archaic unit that's somewhere around 1.5 or 2 kilometers long, no idea, why would you use that".

At least in my circle of fellow native speakers, we know US culture somewhat and I think most would therefore think of the US mile. This is actually the first time I'm hearing about the German mile, as well ;)
Whenever I see a comment like this, it's hard not to take it personal. When my parents came to America as refugees, they wanted to come to CA specifically because there was already a community and an understanding that the social programs were better than the alternative of TX.

Of course they tried to take advantage of programs like food stamps. They took advantage of it because they met what the government considered as qualified. The alternative, which my parents did have to do at times, was skipping meals so their kids had enough to eat. It's not taking advantage of a system if the people meet the requirements. No one says they're taking advantage of a coupon at a grocery store, it's there to be used.
Tesla has already extended the warranty on this part to 8 years / 100,000 miles. [1]

Their software now detects the issue before it occurs and adds a notification alerting the driver. [2]

I assume the difference with a recall is there’s no limit to the age of the car, and it would have to be done proactively on all vehicles.

Currently 15% of vehicles have had this issue according to Tesla.

In the real world, it turns out that code you didn't write can also have bugs or not behave as you expect it to, so the less of that there is, the better.

Encapsulation/abstraction should really be a tool of last resort. From experience, it doesn't actually help reduce complexity if overused, but just makes it hidden and more likely to surprise you when you're debugging.
Well, don't ask me how I know this, but these things attach via a ring around your junk and stay on via the gap between the "tube" and "ring" being too small for your testes to squeeze through.

You /could/, obviously, just cut the damn thing off, but then you'd risk injuring yourself, and nobody wants to put a hacksaw near their dick.

Come to think of it, I did hear about this from someone a while ago who was using some sort of public WiFi HotSpot (bad idea in general) which had a broken redirect page and in turn didn't open up the firewall and gets you that 'partial' connection that causes all sorts of problems. Was on both macOS (10.12 I think) and Linux (some Ubuntu version) at that time.

Seems to be an interesting problem: if it works fine with no connection and fine with a complete connection but not 'in between' (which is the best way I can describe it so far) you'd think it must be some common library or component in a network stack that causes this. macOS has some reachability system that might be in play here, perhaps if it flags the network as 'reachable' but then gets REJECT'ed it goes bad? Or the other way around: marks network as 'unreachable' but traffic flows anyway?
Why does Dropbox need 2800+ employees?

I remember visiting the Dropbox HQ and Twitter HQ in 2017 as these companies were growing like crazy. There were so many people doing... not much? At the time I wondered why these companies needed so many employees. I still wonder.
I remember hearing about this a few months ago. Did it happen /again/?
Yeah that is just a dumb limitation.
This is all very old javascript to be fair, the modern equivalents are as terse as jquery these days.
This argument doesn't really work without data/numbers to back it up. I'm pretty relaxed about some percentage of welfare going to people who are gaming the system and don't want to work as long as the people who need it are getting it.

In the UK: "A poll conducted by the Trades Union Congress in 2012 found that perceptions among the British public were that benefit fraud was high – on average people thought that 27% of the British welfare budget is claimed fraudulently; however, official UK Government figures have stated that the proportion of fraud stands at 0.7% of the total welfare budget in 2011/12."

Hard to know what percentage the people would accept in practice, but I've gotta suspect it's higher than the actual percentage that exists.
If someone can buy this argument but not then immediately understand why a library like jQuery or React is popular, that’s a shame. It’s the exact same reasons: maturity, flexibility, and community/precedent.

An Apple employee tweeted after the news with 11.0 that this was a bug so I'm not surprised, but happy to see it fixed!
Not the person you replied to, but I started out liking stoicism and then realised it was pretty much just solipsism-lite. I think it's ok, even good, to actually care about real-world outcomes sometimes. The stoics say that you should care about whether you acted virtuously rather than whether your actions lead to a good outcome, but if you don't care about outcomes then the definition of virtuous actions must surely be baseless. If I really believe in stoicism, shouldn't I just take drugs that make me feel happy/satisfied/virtuous?

> I'm almost certainly not going to see the same grocery store chains

That's not really true. It's fair to say that a lot of supermarket chains have operations only in a single country, but there are quite a few multi-country brands as well which aren't uncommon.

A few examples: Carrefour, Auchen, Lidl, Audi, Tesco, (Euro/Inter)Spar, Iceland, Rewe - and that doesn't include subsidiaries of the same company (e.g. ICA/Rimi).
> > Running an etcd cluster is much easier than running an HA PostgreSQL or MySQL config.

> What if you used one of the managed RDBMS services offered by the big cloud providers?

Yeah, AWS RDS "multi-AZ" does a good job of taking care of HA for you. (Google Cloud SQL's HA setup is extremely similar.) But you still get 1-2 minutes of full unavailability when hardware fails.

I haven't operated etcd in production myself, but I assume it does better because it's designed specifically for HA. You can't even run less than three nodes. (The etcd docs talk about election timeouts on the order of 1s, which is encouraging.)

For many use cases, 1-2 minutes of downtime is tolerable. But I can imagine situations where availability is paramount and you're willing to give up scale/performance/features to gain another 9.
document.querySelector was not available in IE 6 and 7.

Dealing with those versions was where jQuery really earned its spot in the JS universe. It was a lot to remember where all the quirks were and the incantations to work around them.
OneNote is feature rich (specially the availability in iOS) ... but what eventually made me drop it was the unavailability of a reliable desktop app in Linux

No big deal to run your own ASN, especially when your provider only has two companies advertising upstream. Both of those companies are providing Epik their network.

Most of the spacetime manipulation are still within the realms of physics, or at least can be reasonably described as long as you change a few assumptions e.g. the existence of negative mass, an infinite energy source etc. Only the time turning and fidelius have actual philosophical implications and former has been thoroughly studied and debated in both normal philosophy and natural philosophy.
I liked your take on the redactions (and your crazy ass username, hehe).

> Screens are great ways to show information, but a terrible way to take input. No tactile feedback, stateful placement of buttons

I never understand this. Unless the interface has like, no more than 2 buttons on it, I'm no better at using buttons than a touch screen. Are people regularly interfacing with complex analogue button systems without even glancing at them?

you probably typed that, and everyone here will read on a macbook, which just switched from bash to zsh to avoid GPL. On a BSD kernel to avoid GPL. with browser and OS build by a compiler that had to receive tons of features to catch up with the GPL one. On browsers that were built on top of GPL (chrome) and LGPL (safari) engines but that magically become BSD along the way.

If you're making 100K in California, your marginal tax rate is:

- Federal: 24%

- State: 9.3%

- FICA: 7.65% (6.2% social security, 1.45% medicare)

- SDI: 1%

This gets you to 42%. Your employer matches the FICA payments too, so that's closer to 50% of your take-home pay.

Once you make enough to pay off the regressive FICA taxes ($142K) you get bumped back down to "just" the mid-high 30% range briefly, until you hit $163K, then its back up to 40% again.

>I never remember to set a timer, alarm. I want my phone to notice I've been vegging for an hour and remind me to start moving.

I built a 'Butt Pomodoro - A butt triggered pomodoro timer' to solve this problem[1], it gets triggered when I sit and reminds me to move after a scheduled interval, reminds me to get back after an interval and also reminds me take a long break after consecutive sessions.

It's very easy to build, just by changing the schedules it can do what you ask for.

Does Apple allow DNS hijacking / local override of their domains? Some security sensitive software will resolve using known good resolvers for things that shouldn't be redirected locally (ie, google may use 8.8.8.8 in some of their VPN products rather than rely on comcast or your malware infected local source?
I agree with quantifying managers' performance is a bit harder than software engineers. Take it for what its worth but what I learned from Intels Andrew Groves book "High Output Management" book is that the output of a manager is the output of his team/org and team/org under their influence.

> Finally, CEOs are terrible examples. More than any other title, CEO is an echelon which once reached, by whatever means, seems to ensure that the title holder can almost do no wrong.

I disagree here. I think the CEO is a very good example since if they do something wrong, it would be very visible and that's why even high profile CEOs get fired. See Uber or WeWork or even now, Intel for example.
You run a 28 day autocorrelation and see what pops out. Start with the obvious purchases then artificially synchronize the purchase history of a group of women to be on the same phase and run another autocorrelation on their aggregate purchases to get the non-obvious signal.
If you buy in enough bulk, demand the emmc provider give you the source code and firmware update procedure for the emmc card. Get them to sign over rights to use that code to update cards you have purchased in the field.

There is no such thing as a failed emmc card - it's simply that the built in firmware has failed to correctly remap data around failing flash sectors. There is always life left in the actual flash provided you're happy to throw enough error correction at it.

It was even more exciting two lifetimes ago.

In short order people got electric light (magic! just flick a switch), phonographs (on hearing one, people apparently went looking for the soprano behind the curtain), moving pictures (there are stories of audiences being panicked by a film--black and white, 16 fps, grainy, silent, and all--of a train coming toward the camera), radio (plays, orchestras, and other entertainment from hundreds of miles away), and all sorts of wonderful houshold appliances like refrigerators, vacuum cleaners and electric heaters and stoves which saved tens of hours per week. And glow-in-the-dark radium watches, and telephones.

Having lived through these (in a rural area, things came a bit later than in the big cities) my mother-in-law was unimpressed by the movies about Buck Rogers rocketing around the solar system and Dick Tracy's video wristwatch, taking them as just things that hadn't made it to her town yet.

Why are you using /etc/hosts to modify the behavior of the Apple resolver system? That’s not how macOS directory services work, and Apple only appears to offers it as a legacy backwards-compat stub with no guarantee of support or effectiveness for modern anything. It’s no surprise that it’s not an effective solution for you.
is a safety issue since functions like the backup camera and defogging and defrosting setting controls stop working as well as audible chimes, which are used when the turn signal indicator is activated and to alert drivers while the vehicle’s Autopilot advanced driver assistance system is engaged

Interesting choice of functionality to call out; IMHO backup camera is much lower in importance (Teslas still have rear windows and physical side-mirrors) but HVAC and other controls normally used when traveling forwards would definitely be high. How about things like the speedometer?

Does jQuery (est. 2006) have more bugs in it than your code?
`map` can compile to wildly different things depending on what you're mapping over.

Cache efficiency is important, but so is not running O(n^2) algorithms when you didn't mean to. The latter has an outsized impact on the performance of a program, and explicit loops makes it very clear when something's up.

This is a sage like observation. Thank you for this!

The answer is it probably is somewhat arbitrary but maybe related to human psychological proximity and the fear response. The most common response to fear is denial and so questioning the credibility of those people providing information that could provoke fear is a form of denial. The closer the object of fear the more fear therefore the more denial perhaps.
Seems compelling to me. The point is that both should operate in the same way, and can.
A tether decrease in value (it does not get inflated per se, but the outcome is the same). So, not much. Perhaps you are asking how people (and Tether themselves) will behave in such a scenario? Could be an interesting thought experiment, perhaps.
