Totally agreed but gotta say Ive never lived in a city where my wife and I have enjoyed our dates more.

There seems to be literally no end to the number of world-class coffee shops, breweries, brick oven pizza joints, sushi restaurants and parks out here.

After growing up in SF, living in the desert for a long time and desperately trying to make NY and LA work I can honestly say Sacramento is the healthiest feeling place Ive ever lived. And thats including the weather. Its a dry heat... :)

That said we moved here during COVID so still trying to figure out how to connect with tech folks out here of anyone has any thoughts?
That’s like building a new barn after the horse has bolted.
All sides in WW2 captured airplanes and had dedicated technical staff to evaluate them.

Here's an interview with a German ace who evaluated several Allied planes (he preferred the P-51):

Britain mostly was on the lookout for fighters and fighter/bombers with novel antennas, since they could be used to understand new radio navigation and radar electronics. (One of the most advanced landed near shore, but the Navy guarded it in salt water instead of handing it over for timely study.)

During the Korean War after a MiG-15 was "donated", the issue was how to verify it wasn't booby-trapped before entering it, since test pilots are valuable (Chuck Yeager was one of them.)

At the end of the Vietnam War, the north captured an entire fleet of US aircraft (87 F-5s, plus more types) that were used successfully against air battles with China.
I did this once in C with just OpenSSL and I can't recommend against that enough! I learned a lot (about security) and it was fun, but, you're not valuing your own time at that point. If I had that same problem today, I think I'd use one of Go, Rust or Racket instead. They're a bit easier to set up and probably a bit less of a security nightmare.

If you're using Unity, Normcore is the one I hear most often. I think Photon is the most popular though. The built-in networking in Unreal is pretty solid if you're using that too.
A few lines down in your link you have this: "At about Mach 2, a typical wing design will cut its L/D ratio in half (e.g., Concorde managed a ratio of 7.14, whereas the subsonic Boeing 747 has an L/D ratio of 17)".

Sure, at trans-sonic speeds the coefficient of drag is horrible, but a supersonic commercial jet doesn't spend more than the minimum time necessary in that speed range.

What's more, improvements are possible even for the trans-sonic range. The planned Concorde B was projected to have dramatic fuel consumption improvement of 25% at Mach 1.2 [1]. This projection was made around 1980. In the 40 years since, computers have advanced a bit, so there's a chance the Boom guys know what they are talking about.

Of course not, my point is that there are things the police can do without a conviction, and they do those things in many circumstances. For example, police can famously seize property they believe was involved in a crime.

If it were truly impossible to follow up on someone stealing in broad daylight, that would be the case whether they could secure a conviction or not. If there are officers nearby (as there often are near downtown Walgreens), you might think they would respond once in a while. Presumably they are not, or the staff wouldn't be under the impression that they "don't care".
The fact that anyone can see rampant crime in their community and think "that's okay, the victims of this crime are people I don't like anyway" and just ignore it is insane to me.
pardon my ignorance but how exactly does it force royalties to transfer? couldn't a owner just transfer the underlying etherum coin that is used for the NFT to another wallet address just like any other ethereum coin? and likewise exchange it in a new smart contract?
At this point I believe ppoll has been added to every mainstream Unix except macOS. It's also been accepted for the next POSIX revision.

For many years pselect on macOS didn't actually fix the race condition, notwithstanding its UNIX03 certification. pselect was just a naive wrapper around select that didn't atomically unmask signals. So I ended up having to create a kqueue-based implementation for use on macOS and stragglers like OpenBSD which at that time lacked pselect entirely. See https://github.com/wahern/cqueues/blob/87f14f9/src/cqueues.c... I can't remember if pselect has been fixed on macOS.

The same approach could be used to emulate ppoll on macOS. Though epoll, kqueue, and Solaris ports are so similar that you can easily wrap all of them behind a thin shim. See https://github.com/wahern/cqueues/blob/87f14f9/src/lib/kpoll... (Caution: it's an incomplete refactor of a similar shim I used in some non-open source code. The original code is even simpler and has seen extensive use. The refactored shim should work but is untested.)

AIX is really the only mainstream Unix lacking an API w/ equivalent semantics. AIX has a better-than-poll interface, but it doesn't work anything like the others. Notably, epoll, kqueue, and Solaris ports control descriptors are all pollable in their own right, permitting you to nest different [readiness polling-based] event loop frameworks.
It's actually a bit nuanced — most of the incidents are opportunists, but most of the lost value is due to professionals. Basically, the pros take expensive stuff (presumably for resale) and opportunists take stuff they will use personally (and which might not be worth that much).

> Although the majority of CVS shoplifting incidents in the city are by opportunists, Dugan said, professional crime accounts for 85% of the company’s dollar losses.
Shouldn't a suitcase's worth of products be valuable enough to do something? I could somewhat understand ignoring say, if a person stole a single item under $10. There's not enough resources to go after truly petty theft.

I'd be surprised if a suitcase-sized quantity of things didn't reach the $950 threshold.
You know that's a decent question. If I had the time to do some research I'd look at them and point you to a bunch of studies comparing reported levels of mental health among retirees and maybe ideally some insights on how people in the FIRE movement feel after accomplishing their goal and not working anymore. Then you could have the concrete statistics you seem to want.

What I'd totally expect to find is that, even moreso than old people retiring and feeling a sense of meaninglessness, people who stop working while they're still in their prime working years will grow listless because we're meant to do more, we're meant to take on challenge, maybe even a sacrifice. That the same inner and outer factors that make us depressed at our jobs are actually just also making us depressed generally and reflect an inner pathology where we view ourselves as hopeless, inferior, lost or stuck.

But the info really isn't coming to me at a glance, I don't have time to really do that research, and I don't think I'd be any happier if I did. Unless someone else with the free time and scientific literacy to peruse to a week-old post comes by and contributes the data with a decisive percent chance to this discussion, you either trust my intuition that there's a substantial but hard-to-nail down effect where we're miserable on account of more than our jobs and an unspecified "many" could have all our needs met but still be miserable because you feel what I'm talking about too, or you have your own intuition about the nature of our sense of well-being and work and want to question it. Given a quick glance at your post history you seem like a well-intentioned firebrand of a libertarian who gets downvoted a lot, and I can respect you for that.

I 100% sincerely hope you and everyone else on here reading this has an absolutely fantastic day.
Integza is a really fun YouTube channel that does a lot of experimentation with a variety of Tesla designs:

The article claims this is a direct result of Prop 47, which lowered penalties for shoplifting stuff worth less than $950.

Organized crime groups just steal $949 per person from each store, and hit multiple stores in a day.

The law makes it difficult for the police to prosecute them — a given person would need to be caught and prosecuted once for multiple crimes (that were probably committed in multiple districts, etc.).

Even then, with all that effort, they get to bust someone for shoplifting.

They could go after the leaders of the organized crime groups. I wonder why they haven’t.
Finding appropriate sites for generators would probably be the engineering limit for nuclear. I don't know if nuclear is easy or hard to get started in a black start condition; if they're hard to start, there's probably a max % of the grid you'd want to be nuclear.

But the will of the people and regulatory hurdles mean permitting and construction is slow and economics are not great. Also, there's probably a manufacturing capacity issue; if you wanted to get 100 new plants online in the next 5 years, and permitting and siting were a non-issue, getting the parts made would be.

Private Internet Access commented on Twitter that they have nothing to do with this actually. They used to be in the same portfolio of companies (of this mr. Lee), they are not anymore.
That’s pretty strange for a video platform that is completely free to both users and creators. I wonder why they need to put ads on it.
This is precisely why I have "air_conditioner.mp3", the 10 hour extended version, sitting in a folder on every device I own. I can mess around with other options (ambient sounds are cool to change things up), but if I need a nap in a hurry, I'm always prepared.
I've always wondered: what's the point of the gift card system at Costco? Don't most stores solve this nicely by making the gift cards valueless until "activated" by the cash register system?
Ansible, chef etc. are provisioning tools, not container orchestrators.
There is a reasonable risk that future research material will not be publicly available by the traditional copyright system. Effectively an "uber" google could leverage all previous content to answer your query severely limiting the utility of producing any new content or maintaining accessibility to pre-existing content.

If you break the distribution model of content producers there won't be any new content, and the old content will simply rot away.
All semver does is tell you you are pinned to some obsolete tool, and you are going to go through a soul sucking 6 months of yak shaving to stay up to date. (rails programmer since v3 here)

There seems to have been a strong swing in the past decade or so towards busywork being not just acceptable but in some way laudable. "Doing the work" to keep your product using all latest versions is noble, whether or not you actually gain anything by upgrading. I can't shake the feeling that it all ties in to the industry wide push for SaaS and subscription models and evergreen software, all of which share an underlying motivation of everlasting job security for software companies and the people who work for them.

It's a similar attitude to the parts of the OSS community who feel that anyone complaining about poor documentation or usability just "doesn't want to do the work" to understand the system.
Very interesting read on a phenomenon that once was considered a myth.

I'm not proposing a link tax, i'm just saying that websites should be able to opt-out from their content being used for some Google products just because they have to give google a very permissive license to transact online business and be found in search results.

costco also does this with lots of higher value things, like a gopro or a laptop, if you want to buy it you take the cardboard tag to the checkout and then they give it to you after payment.
> Not in the way you mean it, no. Otherwise industrial-scale bitcoin miners, situated near power plants, wouldn't be able to operate in the open at all, yet they do. Without making any moral judgement one way or the other, China works differently than is generally understood by the West.

Well, the western understanding is that it's a corrupt country where the powerful and well-connected can openly flout the law for some time - until they misread a shift in power dynamics and it becomes convenient to prosecute them. I'm sure that's not the only paradigm through which these things can be understood, but it doesn't seem inaccurate either.

> I do think it is important to recognise that criminals already use existing monetary systems quite well, and that fully-public blockchains have an audit trail that investigators could only dream of compared to plain cash.

Well it's not like cash is particularly clean - if someone wants to pay or be paid in cash only, I would see that as a sign that things were probably not entirely on the level. Presumably criminals continue to use cash in parallel only use cryptocurrencies where they gain an advantage from doing so - but there are plenty of cases where cryptocurrency does offer big advantages for crime (and all of the reasons people give for using cryptocurrency - sending money internationally, avoiding reporting requirements - seem like crime-friendly things). Even the traceability you mention seems to be seen as more of a bug than a feature by crypto advocates.
I’ve been trying Brave this week and unfortunately it performed absolutely uselessly on some busy websites, locking up for *several seconds* every time I open a new tab. It might be a temporary bug, but I moved to DDG as my secondary browser anyway. Safari and DDG handle those same pages effortlessly.

Pacificas are very common in upscale suburban driveways. Source: live in an upscale suburb with lots of Pacificas in the driveways. Honda Odysseys and Toyota Siennas are popular as well but probably not as much as the Pacifica.
Citation? That sounds thoroughly implausible - consider how much flack HSBC gets for having dared to transfer money between the US and Mexico, something that bitcoin allows and encourages people to do all the time with no approval steps at all.
The point is that the crime isn’t even being written up by police.
I tend to find lldb a lot easier to use for the same reasons. There isnt a 1:1 mapping of gdb commands to lldb but the cheatsheet really helps and it doesn’t take that long to get a hang of it.

Signing up for options trading with Schwab or Fidelity requires filling an application including a survey about derivative products and your experience with each type of offering.

We do use ansible for provisioning in combination with AWS CDK. The cases are simple as when you don't utilize container services, but roll out your own server infrastructure using EC2.
Based on how weak Portland is on prosecutions, can you blame them? I mean, why arrest and book if they are out on the street that afternoon?
I assume it’s because they also do things like “movie ticket vouchers” (which are just paper). That way there’s one dedicated-ish room for all the gift card exchanges.

It is the job of a public defender to defend his clients. His statement here is absolutely correct. Prosecutors, on the other hand, have to decide what their jobs are.
I don't think it's vaporware but the blog post with all these big claims like 1000 more powerful than BERT (based on our arbitrary cherry picked metric) makes one cringe.

Here's my guess: Some team under web search trained a large Transformer based model but with some adjustment here but now on a massive dataset from the crawled web pages using tons of TPUs. It made an incremental improvement to the search quality metrics and was shipped to production.
It probably saves a ton of space and tidying, but at the expense of needing more staff to serve.

HTML/CSS is designed to be safe for web by browser vendors and working groups. Unused HTML/CSS feature is fine as long as it's not vulnerable, but blacklist for email is problem because new feature is not designed to be safe for email.

Theoretically email client vendor can host working group like WHATWG to define standard by picking subset from web HTML/CSS. I don't know why it's not happened.
Absolutely. That's why I went with the Quaderno over it, even if I had to import it from Japan.
It's definitely highly variable by university and major. I know all the chem e people I went to school with suffered through the same track together, for the most part. But the comp sci program was much bigger and most core courses were offered both semesters or weren't serious blockers for other courses. And there were plenty of non-core classes to choose from to satisfy the in-major credit requirement.

On the other hand a friend's brother had to do an extra semester at a state school because a class he needed to graduate filled up before he got a chance to register.
Should be but prop 47 decriminalized property crimes below $950 a day so cops don’t do anything and DAs like Chesa Boudin do nothing even when violent criminals are caught, so they definitely won’t do anything about theft. Even if DAs prosecute, juries won’t convict and judges won’t sentence. The justice system in San Francisco is a farce.

Last time I went to Target in SF (on Geary) I saw a car waiting outside and someone running with their arms full of stuff out the door and hop in the car. Last time I went to a Walgreens I saw people with masks on just taking backpacks full of stuff. It’s starting to feel like anarchy.
The issue in SF is the prosecutor. Police decide whom to arrest based on what will be prosecuted, so that is a downstream decision.

The judges could reduce sentences if these cases ever got in front of them, but in reality they never have the opportunity to weigh in.
not to mention that it's lazy, functional mature makes it trivial to override with the language (instead of necessarily using straight patches)

Given that email is MIME (i.e. you can add multiple “bodies” to a message, with different content-types, and the email client will select the best one it can render), you’d think we could just come up with a new content-type for email meaning “HTML, but for real”, and add that to email in addition to the current “HTML, but sucky” semantics we get from text/html-typed bodies.

For a while, people would be sending both text/html and text/html-for-real, but eventually we’d maybe be able to switch to only sending text/html-for-real (while also continuing to send text/plain for fallback.)

Mick Doohan, world champion multiple times broke his ankle while racing. They figured out a thumb operated rear brake for him.
