No, it is extra-super complex infrastructure for a fairly simple thing.

Normal SSH still works, and is usually going to be what people end up using. You just have to have WireGuard installed and running.

The product feature here is less interesting than how we did it.
Although I'm not a huge fan of it, you could argue that Flutter is trying to solve this problem in some ways and has the right backing to be able to pull it off. It unfortunately doesn't feel native though (apart from on Android).
I had wanted to do that, but when I created it I was using a proprietary ThinkPad dock and Windows 7, and I couldn't find an easy way to detect when connected/disconnected. Might be a way now with Win10 and Type-C docks.
Completely agree! I’ve really enjoyed Erica Klarreich’s writing in particular. I think she may very well be one of the most gifted and capable writers today on math in particular.
Well in most of US you can pay off the land but you still have property taxes which can go up. Also the tax basis can be adjusted based on the market value of similar properties in your area.
I liked how Eric Weinstein described Trump as "existential threat". The idea was that while Trump is asking the right questions and does his best to follow up with the right policies, in the process of doing so he makes these issues "ugly" and tamed with "Trumpisism" assuring that no one ever will come back to these issues. Example: most American want stronger border, most Americans wont be caught dead screaming "... Go Home!" to anyone, but a Trump supporter is more likely to do so than most. Therefore the issue of "stronger border" is a taboo unless Trump gets re-elected
so, senseless downvoting then?
Time to sell for a reasonable price then.

Why is this an issue?

These aren't advertising trackers. They're not selling your data.

They're name-brand, industry-standard product analytics, for measuring the usage of app features etc. They're for improving UX and the product generally. I mean, one of them is solely for crash reporting.

This is zero privacy or security risk here. This is standard for essentially any commercial app. There is absolutely nothing unique or different or exceptional about LastPass here. And there is nothing about being a password manager that somehow makes this inappropriate. It's not like it's uploading your passwords to its analytics or anything.

Seriously, this is just spreading FUD. I get that a lot of people hate LastPass for a lot of reasons, but this isn't a good reason.
There is a place in Doncaster where remote keys just don't work! It is fortunate I still could unlock manually. Of course this was over a decade ago so it may not exist now.
Even for quite mature documents, allowing users to curate them would benefit everyone.

Let me guess, you're trying to make a living off a recipe blog?
Let us recall that that inflation in Germany is close to 0. Thus, saying that policy X is responsible for a price hike is hilarious. There is no reason to raise the prices of unregulated apartments (second plot), except the greed of those owning the units.

Another way to read this article is "this rent control is bad because we real-state speculators are now focusing our greed on a smaller number of people, instead of focusing it on everyone else".

That being said, it is not clear from the plots that the overall amount of money that is being spent, city-wide, on housing has increased or decreased. I would argue this is the only valid metric to asses how effective this particular policy is.
You mean, exactly like people who have enough money to buy instead of rent as real estate values keep climbing?

In Berlin, people that already have social relations and support structures are the one that get discounted rent, which is what we want! This is better than if wealthy people get to pay less for housing. It's not as if the alternative made it cheaper.
I meant to compare DP+LCD vs. VGA+CRT.

But to answer your question, digital to analogue and analogue to digital conversions tend to be so fast that you don't notice. It is more of a convention thing that most VGA devices will display the image as the signal arrives, which means they have almost no latency. DP devices, on the other hand, tend to cache the image, do processing on the entire frame, and only then start the presentation.

As a result, for VGA the latency can be less than the time that it takes to send the entire picture through the wire. For DP, it always is at least one full transmission time of latency.
Our society is and always has been primarily authoritarian in its thinking. Merely "explaining how it works" isn't going to change that one speck.

To change it you'd have to change the people in some fundamental way.
Overly simplistic. You can get beats when you combined two nearby frequencies. The beats have a frequency and are audible. Similarly, sounds can be reinforced or hidden in the interaction between instruments; it might be linear, but that does not say anything about what you actually hear.
Yeah, it's not like the messages in this post. Failures are silent and it's clearly a shadow ban. That's why it was so difficult for us to originally figure out what was wrong.

I believed it was some sort of service issue. I wish there was seriously legal recourse for this nonsense. You pay a cool $1000 or more just to have the device fail on you for no explicable reason.
Because then there would be some service exposed to the Internet (not over WireGuard; if you have WireGuard, you don't need a jump box) whose job it would be to hop 6PN networks. The only thing we have in our infra now that controls access to 6PN is eBPF code; we keep the system simple so we can reason about it.
A number of alternatives were mentioned in this thread. User referrals; a better fleshed-out premium tier with actual added value without deteriorating the free tier; a longer transitioning period; a less ridiculous either/or (forcing users to decide between mobile & desktop, wut?); more pricing/tier differentiation; a genuine enterprise solution that finances the free tier and creates brand awareness and a good image; offering a self-hosted version at a higher (approx. 24x monthly pro payment per user) one-time price point for individuals, education, SMBs or a higher price for larger companies. This is just from the top of my head, and I'd argue that any one of them would've been better than this severely strange cause of action. There are endless ways how this could have been handled better without damaging the brand or user trust (if that ever played a significant role).

Also, you seem to be offering a false choice here, if I may say so respectfully. The way I understand it, the choice is not between Pro and Free with ads. The choice is between Free with highly invasive data mining trackers and Pro with highly invasive data mining trackers.

As for the trackers being analytical tools, well, a distinction without a (significant) difference in this case. I responded to that above. You could easily make a case that these trackers are worse than the addition of a random, not overly invasive ad network.

At this point, if I could advise LastPass, I'd just totally backtrack, apologize deeply, commit to keeping the free tier for the foreseeable future, remove all but one of the trackers, commit to a total privacy-centric policy ("The password safe users will always be able to trust") and take that time to build a convincing value proposition for anyone who pays for Slack, Teams and WinRAR (i.e. professional users and enterprises), not a student or someone's grandma who will now have to pay up or be tracked and have only half the functionality it relied on for years...
I'm frankly convinced that (not overnight but in the long-term), revenue will be much higher and more stable. LastPass could still be the first (or second, after uBlock Origin) browser plugin everyone installs on a new system. But next quarter might be a blood-bath compared to the projections their private equity friends did in expectation of finally getting to sell all that preciousss user data. ;-)
"Proof by analogy is fraud." -- Bjarne Stroustrup

Even if you don't fully agree with this quote, claiming that only arguments by analogy can ever be valid arguments for rent control is... surprising.
Two important details about the rent control law:

- it doesn't apply to newer/new buildings

- it still hasn't been through the higher courts so it still can be overruled (and the tenants will owe the past rent retroactively)
I believe all informational blogs/guides should backup to a markdown file on GitHub or other. Over time playing with technologies I've found a lot of dead links to personal websites. This is of course because maintaining your own hosting can be cumbersome, domain name expirey, etc. Some valuable information gets lost with only waybackmachine to save the day. Someday wayback may no longer exist though.
Benefits from microdosing LSD might be placebo
I’ve always bought used cars, and refurbed Macs. Just how I roll …

I never use a dealership’s banking service, and feel the same about financing a Mac (I also wouldn’t use Dell or HP’s financing).

But never really thought about the separation of concerns benefit, with respect to financing through the same company that provides critical services.

Now that seems like a good call.

Not saying anything about the details of the original post, except that whether he’s completely right or wrong he’d never run into something this catastrophic if he’d used (almost?) any other credit card.
If they are finding homeowners which are not renting them, is that not a good thing?
Thats because many PhD are just glorified technicians (same technicians we purged out of our labs doing one of the worst mistake of the last decades I believe). So we get all those PhD learning 3d printing, microcontrollers, programming for creating new devices, tools and whatever else. Where for technicians it would have been a much shorter turnaround. Of course the individuals learn new (basic level) skills. But it also impedes discovery and leaves a whole category of people out of the door. In PhD I was once told I couldn't put the technician on the authors list because he was paid to do his job...

I don't actually see the disaster at all. Prices are staying low for millions of people already living in the city. Yes it's a pain for people who move but it might very well be a worthwhile trade-off.

However the real long term point is made at the end of the article.

>"The biggest question is whether this episode of left-wing populism has damaged confidence in Berlin’s real-estate market permanently. If investors fear that local property rights will be put at risk in every election, they might stop building houses in the city at all."

This isn't a disaster, this is what needs to happen. Drive down the property market, reclaim the housing stock, turn it into mixed income public housing, which is exactly what Vienna did when the Social Democrats took control of the city in the early 20th century. Today most of Vienna's housing is public housing, and it is considered one of the most livable cities on the planet. Driving the landlords and real estate companies out of the city is only a disaster for the professional rentier class. The only problem Berlin has right now is that it hasn't gone far enough.
My point being "working on" isn't really good enough when the health consequences for people are severe.

Take dupont, took decades. Now same is happening for pesticides. Many we use now simply will be forbidden in decades. Yet for now they will continue to be used and cause harm.

I happened to have grown up between we fruit trees and close people are paying the price. Residential areas and fruit trees mix here. Meaning the tractor with pesticides en herbicides are passing 5 to 10 meters from you while you are relaxing in the garden. Which hopefully in many countries is not the case.
It turns renters into a kind of owners, yes.
I just used IDEs as an example. You'll have the same latency issues with WhatsApp, Signal, Slack, Deezer, for example.
"Tranny" is certainly a transphobic slur.
Exactly, it should be extended to all rental units.

An important part of the regulation is that the landlord cannot raise the rent when a new tenant moves in - the rent is locked for the unit, not the tenant. This prevents situations like New York, where you are essentially unable to move.
I think that debating anything from a PragerU video is just going to cause heated arguments that don't add anything productive. The videos I have seen from them appear to intentionally invoke emotional responses by design. I think it would be more interesting to have a rational discussion about the documentary by Michael Moore Planet of the Humans specifically around the funding sources, environmental impact and incentives. Disclaimer: I support all forms of energy but would like to see less dependency on coal as a matter of national security and health. I also intend to build my own solar/wind/battery system shortly after I move. I am also looking at retiring in a state that depends on coal and oil for ~33% of its tax revenue. This concerns me.

You can't apply that rule to all instructions.

For example, movslq becomes move_sign_extended_double_word.

ARM instruction QADD16 would be signed_saturating_parallel_halfword_wise_addition.

QASX: signed_saturating_parallel_add_and_subtract_halfwords _with_exchange.
None. A Firecracker micro-vm is just a very small, very quick-to-start-up VM. It uses KVM, eliminates the BIOS, and implements only the minimal devices needed to boot and run server Linux. Amazon built the project for Lambda and Fargate. More about it here:

I have mixed feelings about this policy as a berliner.

But the article is definitely skewed towards the landowners and huge renting companies.

Some facts for you:

Rate of home ownership among Berliners, Londoners, Parisans:

- Berlin: 17.5%

- London: 52%

- Paris: ~60%

The main problems is huge home-renting corporations.
The article refers to a separate discussion about breaking up huge companies that own more than 3,000 apartments. As far as I know this criteria meets only a couple of huge companies such as Deutsche Wohnen that over the past couple of years have artificially created a sense of scarcity and caused the rent to increase without a proportionally increase to wages(Not only blue collar but also High Tech wages)

It is very ironic that companies such as Deutsche Wohnen were able to grab so many apartments when Berlin wall fell with dirt cheap prices. You can argue rushed privatisation caused this problem and something needs to be done if Berlin wants to avoid becoming SF.

Off-topic: What's the software used for the blog?
Seems unlikely to me.

Weather Line’s only differentiator was design – very good design, but something easily Sherlock-able by Apple using the same commercial APIs Weather Line does. There was no secret sauce, and it’s not even an acqui-hire as the developers have said on Twitter they won’t be joining the new company.
Seems to me it is working as intended. Now the only thing remaining is to build a lot of public housing to increase supply at affordable prices.
I have Phillips Hue and Sengled lights at home and I usually disable the "easing" animation on them to reduce the perception of time delay when I push the button... It is maybe 100 of ms of perceived latency I can subtract.

It help a lot in that "computer user bill of rights" issue that you start to worry at some point that the button press wasn't registered and might then mash the button with unpredictable effects.

(e.g. you might get more customer satisfaction from a crosswalk button that doesn't do anything at all except 'click' instantaneously)
Traditionally, game publishers were mostly a bank. Their main job was not marketing and publishing (although that's important too), but financing a game's development until it was ready for release, and sometimes to help out with resources and services (like localization, quality assurance, etc).

That's why Kickstarter and Steam Early Access are such a big deal, they allowed new financing models and independent game-dev studios to emanzipate themselves from publishers.

If I were buying a 3D printed home, my questions would revolve around:

- Weather

- Insulation

- Foundation

- Future improvements (small and big [e.g. another room])

- Property value increases over time

Based on what I've seen and read, I'm not sure that this home fits these points and I'd be hesitant to buy one.
It is awful, but there are some positive tradeoffs like security and flexibility. For example, there have been a zillion vulnerabilities with native Office over the years. Visual Studio is a terrible pain to skin or customize its look and feel compared to VS Code.
Any movement toward security is a good thing; it would be nice to see handsets shipping with with Graphene OS though.
I guess that's the opposite failure case from 30 years ago, where there was a decent chance that your physical key would unlock another car of the same make/model.
That's like saying driving car into a wall full speed should not kill you
> The alternative proposed by the article is basically : let it unregulated, the market will provide. Which is how it was before. Was the problem solved? No.

Sigh. Here's what the article actually says:

> The right answer to that shortage would be to increase supply — for instance, by cutting red tape in zoning and construction.

That's an alternative reform proposal, not going back to how things were before. I think it would work better than rent control, because increasing supply is better than haggling over fixed supply.

Edit: another possible solution is a land value tax. It's non-distortionary (doesn't lead landlords to reduce or increase supply) and prevents a lot of rent increase.
Sure, but doesn't that end up being more complex than web sockets to implement correctly?

And keeping one connection then we're in the same spot regarding the scaling issues as with web sockets right? Or does plain TCP/IP have better support for changing endpoints mid-flight, reconnections and etc?

Although if so I don't understand why there was even the need to come up with Websockets? I personally would love to see a simplification of technology all across OSes, web, etc, but probably there's too much out there to provide a reasonable migration path...
It sometimes feels like those projects that you work on in the beginning and then you look at, some years down the line and say, this needs a refactoring with all I've learned in the meanwhile regarding what I'm doing and regarding my understanding of the domain space - but sometimes you can't do it, doing it might not go well or you'll end up in the same place afterwards.
I don't understand why you can't tell the hypothetical young, poor student both 'A' and 'B.' In fact, not doing so seems a bit manipulative (regardless of your intentions).

A potential consequence of perpetually leaving 'B' out of the discussion is that, while some of these young, poor students will escape poverty and others will not, neither group may realize that the status quo reflects decisions made by human beings, not some invisible law of nature.

Telling poor and disenfranchised people that hard work is the solution to all of their problems sounds just like a recipe for inducing learned helplessness [1] to me. Sure, some hard-working poor people will escape poverty, but plenty won't. The difference between the two groups often lies in factors outside of their control.

It's not an enditement of science to accept that it is fallible. It's precisely the point of the article that "science as inquiry" as it is taught has led people to acquire a mystical infallible view of the scientific method which holds that people who come to different conclusions than the current consensus are biased. When in fact scientific consensus and scientific authority are social agreements based on trust.
Continue and soon you’ll end playing an intelligence challenge in front of a iocaine-poisoned glass of wine :-)
In the same way that authors who write books "need" publishers. You can self publish but that can make it much harder for an unknown person to succeed.

In some cases a publisher makes sense, in some it does not.
Water in Netherlands next to pastures and farmlands often had high levels of toxicity, meaning it was treated as chemical waste. Because of strict regulations got better. Still happens to certain rivers. Had natural parc next to river where I get my meat call back meat because of too high levels of toxicity just last year.

Certain factories here also still allowed to dump chemicals which in other countries are not allowed etc.

Next to that, in certain areas here residential areas and fruit trees mix. So even with limited spraying and limited wind, you are sitting in the garden while tractor is spraying the trees a few meters from you.
I'm very interested in the general perception of VS Code being fast, because for me it's slow enough that it's the main reason I use other editors. Here are a couple of examples:

1. It takes nine times as long as Vim to open a minified JavaScript file, and then format it with Prettier: https://twitter.com/robenkleene/status/1285631026648276993

2. It takes 14 times as long to open an empty text file than BBEdit: https://twitter.com/robenkleene/status/1257724392458661889

Both of the above examples revolve around opening files for the first time, and I suspect a lot of the slowness I perceive is because I open a lot of different projects and source code files when I'm working, and this is a bad use of VS Code.

In practice, VS Code behaves more like a multi-language IDE than a text editor. Slow startup times are generally acceptable in IDEs because you're exchanging speed for power. A programmer should ideally be proficient in both an IDE and a text editor, because they're tools applicable to different problems. E.g., VS Code is a terrible choice for things like analyzing log output, formatting large files, testing isolated snippets of code, or working on source code files that aren't part of the same project. I find this to be a shame because VS Code is flexible enough that it would otherwise be excellent for all of these tasks if it were just more performant for some operations that it struggles with now.
