Land can be transient. Beachside communities are having tough conversations right now about this topic. In California the mean high tide line is where beachfront property legally ends. But the mean tide is moving inward every year. There are parts of California that will need to retreat in the next 100 years; properties have already been condemned.
> is a conscious and opinionated strategy on the part of Linux, as an effort to make the cost of keeping drivers closed-source high.

And Qualcomm is probably very, very happy with this arrangement. They can put a gazillion devs to maintain their BSPs using any means possible, but a small 2nd tier SoC fabbless don't.
The changes are pretty ridiculous [1], apparently the gobernment's devs kept deliberately renaming a specific header by adding and increasing a number at the end, from `xsrf-token` up to `xsrf-token11` [0], clearly only with the intend to break their rival free market app.

> Violence, and the threat of injury or death, are irredeemably and inseparably part of any prison system.

Or it could just not be. We as a people get to ultimately decide if this is the case. My ideal prison system would just “you’re grounded” but for adults. You can go to your job, or go to school, but you’re monitored and have to report to prison right after. To me it’s a very natural escalation of house arrest, treats prisoners with more dignity, and doesn’t screw them for the rest of their lives.

Yes fine we have to deal with people who are an immediate threat to the people around them. But that’s the exceptional case in the US prison system and can go by different rules.

Locking people in cages is so stupid. Like even if you have no empathy towards prisoners as people it makes no sense to waste their lives when they could be contributing to society.
I think our best hope for this working out is from the (very slowly) growing view of light pollution as the actual _pollution_ that it is.

I would absolutely love this, but I still find it hard to imagine this changing in any significant way in the next 25 years.
I think that’s a fair point you’re making.

At the time, I loved the books - but in hindsight, I wish I never read them at the age I did because they really colored my interpretation of my fellow classmates behavior. Every time someone accidentally slighted me, I figured that it was because they were thinking of ways to plot against me just as Beverly’s characters were always doing.

In hindsight, my classmates were just children behaving as children do - with little thought for anything above the immediate future.

> As far as I know, none of the helicopters mentioned above are rated for sling operations with 40ft containers.

There was a sea basing study and that only looked at 20ft containers and dismissed even a theoretical upgraded CH-53X (although of course the study was looking at much longer range than just lifting it and putting it back down) but again, that was just 20ft, these 40ft ones are just too heavy for choppers.

For many containers, using helicopters would probably mean at least partially unloading their cargo, which is a difficult and time-consuming endeavor. The process of removing containers by helicopters would be even more difficult, dangerous, and time-consuming, so it is very, very unlikely we will see it implemented unless the situation gets really desperate.

I'm not sure but certainly it would depend on the crop as different harvesting methods are used for different crops. For example, panels could be built so cows can graze under them or for handpicked crops so that people can walk under them.

Much of it is a tradeoff between features, generality and bloat. A good chunk of that gigabyte of RAM to render a webpage goes into stuff like vector font rendering so it can display nicely at any size on any display. And Unicode handling so it can display Chinese and Russian as well as English. I suppose both outline fonts and Unicode are bloaty in their own right; such allegations have been leveled against them before. Still, those sort of features come with pretty significant cost and are largely invisible until you need them.

No. The internet is public. Publishers shouldn't get any say in who accesses their content or how they do it. As far as I'm concerned, the fact that they do is a bug.
For Github, yes. For anything else, you would have to use their rancher tool and Cloudflare KV store. I imagine they have plans to support other providers, but aren't quite there yet.
It's amazing how often giant IT projects like these go off the rails. Exploding costs and garbage implementations. If you start the sentence with: "A 5+ year government IT project that cost over 100 million-" I already know how the story ends.

How do we improve this common scenario? What are the root causes?

The common themes are:

1. Lack of technical project competence at the decision maker level.

2. Scope creep. Where the one true system has to do everything.

3. A 'one-pass' approach where everything is expected to be delivered as a working system at the end of the project.

Even fixing two of these gives us a solid shot at a successful project.

Zoning does not 'cause' anything.

Demand does.

The notion is ridiculous - housing is extremely affordable in the US.

There absolutely is no affordability crisis.

There is merely 'a lot of people who want to live in SF and NYC'.

You don't have a right to move to a place and demand they tear down their homes so you can jam yourself in with others in a flat.

What is causing prices to increase is either:

a) more people b) interest rates or c) higher wages.

a - isn't happening rapidly (though partly)
c - isn't really happening
it's b, consistently over time causing greater and greater leverage.

I use vercel (or previously zeit). The free plan suits my use cases:

- tls

- github integration (although limited to personal accounts only and NOT org -- which is nutsz but I understand the rationale)

- it also comes with cloud functions, and routing which could be very powerful

I think cloudflare pages with workers offer the same set of features PLUS team and github org integration, but so far I like what vercel is offering

That portion is shrinking, because we are being infected more and more by the european virus of equality rather than freedom unfortunately.

If you have killed someone maybe you shouldn't try to become famous and make money out of it, that's what I understood from OP's comment and I agree with that. If nothing else, for your victim and his family/friend.

From your profile I gather you are from Poland, a country that, if I'm not mistaken, has benefited from that american impulse towards freedom in the past. So, what happened here, was freedom ok when it was against communism but not ok anymore now that the USSR is gone? Real question, not trying to be a prick here.

For debt ratios to decline, people have to stop going into debt as much. Or, they pay off their existing debts instead of using that cashflow to qualify for more debt. It's hard to imagine reducing debts unless you have a shock like '08 GFC, which changed the standards for acceptable underwriting.
Yes, it pretty much went that way, but Elop seems dead set on killing off nokia so Microsoft could buy it for pennies on the dollar. First it was the "we are on a burning platform letter", then abandoned all their current customers, moved everything to windows mobile, then months later switched to a new version of the microsoft mobile with no upgrade path for the users who just bought new windows mobile phones.

The market at that point pretty much decided to skip that mess and go with IOS or Android.

I've never been to Mexico, but enjoy dropping the Google street viewer into the streets of Mexico and virtual driving around. It does look like a different world from the U.S. It reminds me of the U.S. maybe 50 years ago for some reason. Much more working class, fewer strip malls, chains. But maybe I'm just strolling down the wrong streets....
I would say that this is one of those things that gets passed on from generation to generation, but for some reason, much of the western world is forgetting about it.

One reason might very well be urbanization. When I was a child, my parents would buy "cellar potatoes" at the home improvement's garden center every fall. Large sacks filled to the brim with potatoes, which we'd put into a special storage/dispenser combo (basically wooden lattice box, with an opening on the front bottom to remove potatoes over the winter/spring - gravity fed by the potatoes stored on top). That was in the corner of the basement and the sides and top of that contraption were blocking the light by being lined/covered with newspaper.

That's how I learned that potatoes should be stored like that, because I was helping out with it all. First, as a small child, I was only allowed to put the newspaper and to cut the sacks and would "throw" some potatoes in. That's how I learned that potatoes shouldn't be bumped around too much and my parents would take those and the ones I hit with it out, so that it wouldn't spoil the whole thing. Of course potatoes can be bumped around quite a bit more than say bananas, but not too much either. Later I'd help carry the sacks etc. That's how it's "obvious" like so many other things you don't learn in school.

This requires both this tradition existing in the first place though as well as the space to do it. We had a house with a basement. Many people don't, especially inner city dwellers.
My experience is that potatoes do not keep as well outside the fridge, unless they're in a chilled pantry or a dedicated potato cellar. The latter are usually not accessible in the city, though. Also the further south you go, the shorter the out-of-fridge potatoe lifespan, and it's even worse for carrots. Otherwise I always keep the lil spuds away from light as best I can. ^^
Not enough energy. Hydropower reservoirs are typically many square kilometers of water surface, depth > 10 meters on average and a height differential on the order of 100 meters or more.

It is a little better, and I’d like to acknowledge that you were open to the idea and thank you for taking action.

I haven’t been entirely persuasive here, so I’m reflecting on how to better elaborate my thoughts. The singular word “lying” isn’t really the main thrust of my objection.

Maybe the biggest issue I see still there is the assertions about the intent behind rebase, which means the intent of git’s developers and git rebase users. It’s not really true that rebase intends to “deceive”, that’s not how the authors of the feature talk about it or frame the feature. In my opinion, it’s a semantic cop-out to claim the words are factual and non-judgemental, when the negative thrust of your choice of language is evident, and when there are clearly less loaded words available to you.

It is in that sense - your assertion that the primary intent behind rebase is to deceive people - that I feel like the Fossil documentation is still not being particularly truthful with the facts.

One way to look at this is to ask what would happen if git removed rebase. Right now, if that happened, and git didn’t change anything else about it’s design, it would be somewhat frustrating and unusable. Rebase doesn’t exist on an island, and removing it would have negative consequences, and need to be replaced with other features. Git doesn’t have a way to present a clean history without rebase there. It would be awesome for Fossil’s story to note how the fundamental design is an improvement over git.

I know your framing and language is intentional because you believe strongly in the idea of preserving project history. That is an acceptable, even laudable goal. I’m for it. Git did not have that goal when it was designed, and it’s not fair to selectively leave out that fact when criticizing. Aren’t there better ways to make the point without presuming to proclaim what the intent of rebase is? Can’t the harmful implications of rebase be demonstrated rather than framing it as “fictitious”, “fabricated”, “counter-factual”? Could you talk about it without accusing innocent bystanders of “white-washing” and being “untruthful”?

BTW, I think the Pro Git book commentary isn’t that fair to hold up as evidence for two reasons - they didn’t design rebase, and they are also trying to softly address the very argument you’re putting forward, because it keeps coming around. The existence of their comments doesn’t somehow prove that git designed rebase to “lie”, it only shows that they heard you.

From my (first-hand) experience with him, he is quite egotistical and I definitely wouldn't describe his manner as "hearthly".

That's clever. But in a programming language (instead of a composition of coreutils), I would use a filename() function or something.
MS already has GitHub and Yammer, too.
The reason you mentioned (requiring every system to use the same string encoding) matters. Interpreting a UCS-2 byte offset in rust (which uses UTF-8 internally) isn’t easy. Or symmetrically, patch a javascript string based on a UTF-8 byte offset. It’s especially hard if you want to do better than a O(n) linear scan of the entire document’s contents.

Using byte offsets also makes it possible to express a change which corrupts the encoding - like inserting in the middle of a multi byte codepoint. That goes against the principle of “make invalid data unrepresentable”. Your code is simpler if you don’t have to guard against this sort of thing. And you don’t have to worry about that if these invalid changes are impossible to represent in the patch format.
May I ask for more details about your graphing setup?

I'm just using darkstat, which has the benefit of being dead simple and available via opkg. But, it's fairly limited. I already have a Grafana dashboard elsewhere on the network, so I'd be curious as to how you feed it with network stats from OpenWRT.

Ask HN: Please help, nephew's crypto wallets were hacked
I'm really devastated. My nephew just called me and told me all his cryptocurrency is gone -- valued over $40,000. He has spent years earning it and resisting pulling it out, hoping he could eventually use it to pay for his college education.

Here are the facts:

- He has a Ledger Nano S wallet.

- That wallet had 4.77 LTC, 4.48 ETH, and 0.73 BTC.

- The Ledger generated a passphrase containing 24 words.

- He recorded that passphrase on a piece of paper and hid it.

- No one had or has access to that paper.

- That passphrase (those words) were NEVER entered anywhere.

- On February 24th at 5:45 AM Eastern Time, the BTC was stolen.

- On the same day, at 6:46 AM and 6:48 AM, the ETH and LTC, respectively, were stolen.

- He also has a Trust Wallet.

- He had $1500 worth of NPXS and $1000 worth of TRX in that wallet.

- On February 24th at 6:48 AM and 6:55 AM both of those were stolen.

- The passphrase for the Trust Wallet is saved as a screenshot on his iPhone.

- His iPhone has not left his possession.

- His iPhone has a 6 digit passcode.

The recipient address for the BTC is: 3EP2Bq6yMpXQc3TvoxLtwDsd1tg2A59CJs

Note: Both wallets were hacked on the same day at around the same time. Both had separate passphrases.

Can someone please shed some light on what can be done, if anything? How were both wallets compromised at the same time?! If nothing can be done to retrieve the crytpo, what can be done to prevent this from happening in the future.
Unless battery prices drastically drop, 2 days of power is 60kwh (quoting earlier figure), even if batteries were $100/kwh, that's $6000 in batteries (or ~$9 if you're on grid)

I was just thinking recently about the political bias of different news sources, as well as various websites like Reddit, 4chan, BabylonBee, etc., and I was wondering what the consensus on here was?

While I love the David vs Goliath here, I'm going to point out the thing that open source folks just love to fluff over:

Who is going to maintain that app over time?

Maintenance sucks and is expensive.

I'm going through this right now with a security system for a non-profit. The old system is open source and works--but it's 10 years dead.

So, they'd like to add these couple features. Who is going to develop that? Who is going to pay for that? What happens 10 years from now?

So, they can pay money for a commercial solution which is "Somebody Else's Problem(tm)" or they can go with a bespoke system that becomes their problem.

Maintenance is a cost that open source never accounts for.

4. The requirements are often flat out wrong.

The Phoenix payroll system comes to mind, the Canadian government tried to shift the blame to IBM, but have their hands tied since IBM delivered exactly what was in the contract. It's just that what the government decided to put in the contract has little to do with how they really do payroll.
