I agree with you and stopped-started smoking on and on for years. I stopped again a year and a half ago. I'm luckily in the phase in which I totally reject the smell of cigarettes (especially packed: rolling tobacco is less harsh); I found that wearing the mask and passing in a cloud of smoke traps that awful smell in my face for much longer and it becomes much more nauseating. One more point for wearing surgical masks in public, I guess.
I was hoping the clock would turn out to be upside down, or reflected in a mirror or both.

It has definitely been used to push such policy decisions. Whether it was honestly held by those pushing it on TV, or by those who voted for them, is hard to discern.
Unless I was asleep replying(there is a 5% chance of that), I'm pretty sure their comment didn't say that at the time.
In some way they actually DO have the goal to hurt you though, specifically because it is aligned with their way of making money. When it comes to the attempt to shackle you onto their platform, increase "engagement" (outrage and negative emotion), put dark patterns into place to make leaving as hurtful as possible, and also invading the privacy of people not even directly using their platform. [1]

Facebook hurting you might be because they want the money, but they specifically choose to make money by hurting you, and society. [2][3]

So in the end I don't think it is wrong to phrase it that way. Someone beating you up in exchange for money still has the goal of beating you up.

Somewhat related on the topic of blogging. I've recently lost a lot of motivation to publish things on the web after I found that sites like Laptrinhx exist that fraudulently monetize on my content.

They blatantly copy all content, regardless of copyright and licensing, slap adverts on it and then add insult to injury by telling you "how they can't produce awesome content without ads" if you use an adblocker. They also seem to often rank higher on search engines than my own site.

Here's someone else that had the same experience:

https://www.dcac.com/blog/imitation-is-not-a-form-of-flatter...

Obviously they don't publish any contact details. They use Cloudflare, so you can't see where the server is hosted. Cloudflare won't do anything about it - they just forward your report, personal details and all, to the owner of the site. They use Feedly to get content, so you can't even block their crawler without screwing over legit subscribers on Feedly. The best I can do is block their referrer for hot-linked images.

In my 15 years of blogging there have always been people that were re-publishing my content. I'm okay with that - my blog is under the CC-Non Commercial license. I take it as a cost of having a blog that there will always be some people that will ignore the license terms. However Laptrinhx and similar sites seem to have taken this to an industrial scale. Now I feel like I'm just a cog lining someone else's pockets for free.
Yes, they do. But people are not programs. Wondering why people behave irrational is a bit like wondering why rain is wet.
In short, yes, higher capacity will involve higher latency.

The thing here is balancing core speed vs “effective” memory latency (factoring in cache hits, misses, etc).

Cache management is a hard problem, and the equilibrium point is load dependent (i.e. depends on what type of program you use).

AMD has been smart enough to understand that sometimes it’s better to just brute force your way in (with higher cache sizes) than being super clever about how you handle it.
You say that FTP is no good, but did you consider the numerous FTP protocol extensions, including MLST/MLSD and FTP-over-TLS?
In New Zealand if you call the emergency number 111, the operator can automatically request the location of the device from the telco (with no opt out) if they belive there is a serious emergency and the location is not communicated. There is also some standardised way for the mobile phone to automatically send GPS coordinates to emergency numbers.
This is going to come off much snarkier than I mean it, but were rice and beans not available in Montana at that time? I am a big fan of seafood but there is a lot of "quality protein" middle ground between meat and mac and cheese.

They didn't largely have trucks either. The 'blitzkrieg' part with tanks and motorized infantry was a small fraction of the entire army. The rest marched on foot or were transported on trains.
I tried all the different static site generators, and I was annoyed with how everything was really complicated. I also came to the realization that I was never going to need a content management system with the amount of blogging I was doing, so I should stop overanalyzing the problem and just do the minimum thing that leads to more writing.

Then I decided to pretend I time-traveled back to the 90s - now I just write HTML, by hand, with a simple CSS style.

If CSS was any more complicated, I would've just written pure text in HTML and decorated things with ascii art.

You can host these trivially on GitHub, but back in the day I also used nearlyfreespeech.net to host my static websites. I don't know if they are still alive and kicking, but if so, would recommend.

I've also realized that among my professional contacts, people are starting to blog technical articles on LinkedIn. I think that's probably a decent way to go as well if you want discoverability.
TBH at least in my part of the woods web devs test for Chrome, Safari and mobile Safari.
The sources in the linked article seem to suggest that the San Francisco Walgreens are not being driven from business due to an overabundance of middle and working-class white girls shoplifting for fun. Although the parent to your comment did seem to be generalizing quite a bit from the article at hand, and so perhaps your response deviated in kind. Fair enough, I'm making the argument anyway.

I have no doubt that the phenomenon you mention certainly exists. I do, however question whether its prevalence is enough to be noticeable on an income statement.

There seems to be something else at work in San Francisco, and the question is how we should contextualize it morally (which will influence our preferred policy approach as voters). Is it people stealing because they are desperate for the necessities that one would encounter at a drugstore (something we should feel sorry about). Or, are they organized crime rings making a quick buck at someone else's expense due to loopholes in the legal system (something we should be pissed off about).

I alternate between the two perspectives based on my own experiences viewing urban poverty up-close, the discussions shared in the HN Walgreens threads, as well as some of the videos shared of organized groups of people clearly looting high-value items. It's something I don't really have a solidly-formed opinion on, and there seems to be an abundance of nuance.
No – since wealth has diminishing marginal utility, wealth transfer programs are inherently positive-sum.

And freedom is not a system, it's simply the situation of being able to do what you want without being punished. The freedom to steal is a freedom, just one people generally shouldn't have.

> you can easily modify tests to adapt to your changing architecture as well.

Can you? Surely it depends; most systems end up with more LOC in the tests than the tested code, and the tests multiply the cost of refactoring.

I've had success with the "happy path first" kind of TDD, where you write a use case and implement to that and only then come back and fill in other tests.
Most of it is header files full of redundant register names. It's pretty ridiculous.

I come from the user side and I am extremely pleased to hear this news. Advertising on my device has gotten completely out of hand, I never asked for it and I don't want it.
If it wasn't funded and publicised by Google, I think Plus codes would have disappeared already.
These codes feel quite difficult to remember and less logical than the long/lat that they try to replace;
additionally, the letters are very ambiguous to pronounce in English for a non-native (E and I, J and G).

It feels like it was a quick hack of base64-ish encoding of the long/lat that evolved into a product to get an internal promotion

That's a problem if you don't know anything more than the three words, but it's quite useful if you do. For example, if you know someone is travelling in South America then the huge difference means one is obviously wrong. It would be more problematic if the two locations were similar.

Making it clear when something is incorrect for a given context is quite a helpful feature. But you need to have the necessary context.

> With longer numbers, such as a comparatively precise location, you have a high risk of errors on both ends

Although the numeric location gets more precise as you add more numbers - if they only get 3 decimal places, that's about 110x80m in the UK.

If you use degrees, minutes and seconds, you only need 6 numbers to get ~30x20m in the UK (and a decimal place on the seconds brings it down to ~3x2m - the same as W3W.)

The weird thing is, that is a solved problem. App Store apps (Mac, iOS) will automatically update in the background and, unless the developers build it into the app, the changelog if any will be on the store page. All platforms have something similar. It's just that a lot of developers opt to release and update their thing separately for a variety of reasons.

I agree on the OS updates though, some years ago there were a few... claims? Promises? Something that implied restarting to update would no longer be a thing. Dear reader, they were wrong.

I like your example and the fundament of your message that ethical decisions being made under the same meat brain machine, but I feel like you are conflating abstract reasoning about "morals" and intuitive empathizing with "moral" behaviour. To me they don't look the same.

I can say with absolute certainty that the lives of both children are morally equal, yet I can appreciate that one can not help equally in both cases. I would even agree that having a lower empathy for a child in Africa is evidence of how one is not a "moral" person, but that doesn't take away from the initial axiom: their lives have equal worth.

Apologies if my naive interpretation of your words and attempt at an explanation doesn't make the matters clearer. I think that looking into effective altruism might make more sense, the people behind it have a lengthier and better reasoned thesis.

Given the use case here, where someone wants to send a single file to someone else, with no pre-existing way to communicate securely, why would it matter? The only practical attacks would be on the passphrase itself (which they have no way of protecting). The fact that openssl accepts any passphrase is likely a bigger problem in practice than the lack of authentication.
Easy to recognise. I'm not sure the emergency services having to play a process-of-elimination word game is 'easy to correct'.
I just had jury duty in one of the most liberal states in the union.

I had the prosecuting lawyer explicitly ask us during jury selection if we would "take into account that police officers have training which [we] wouldn't have access to as a civilian." And repeated it during the trial. All without a peep from the judge. So YMMV on that.

On an unrelated note, the prosecuting lawyer then proceeded to systematically eliminate exclusively women and minorities from the jury, and specifically removed every woman of color. Which I'm sure was a total coincidence.
The problem with the site you mentioned is that it was a clear cut case of copyright, trademark, and patent infringement all in one. I think the creator remained anonymous because they knew this.

I find people that envy smokers for their breaks pretty pathetic. All it really implies is that these envious people dont know how to manage their own time. If I want a break, I take a break. If I dont need a break, I go on. But that doesnt have anything to do with my coworkers. As long as I am not the boss, its not my bussiness to do time management for others.
Woah I really have to disagree with numbers being easier to remember. I would imagine 3x words is far easier to remember than 12-16 numbers, and I don't see how it couldn't not be the case.

> What are we ejecting?

Ourselves, it seems. A Javascript framework is like a jet, and we are the human payload. You can stay in the jet, zooming over the constantly changing landscape. But if you get tired of this zooming around (or if you get scared of hitting a mountain), then you can activate the ejection seat (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ejection_seat). Of course, now you're a mile high without a plane, but the ejection-seat comes with a parachute, so the descent will be pleasant (or, at least, non-fatal - which is a style of pleasantness).

Erm, wait, I think you were soliciting a more literal answer. :)

"create-react-app" is the Javascript framework/jet. If you want to go for the ride, then you declare a single-dependency on "create-react-app", and they will decide when/what/how to upgrade components in the framework. If you don't want to ride along with "create-react-app"s framework, then you "eject". They'll give you a little bundle (the concrete list of dependencies) and send you off on your way.
In military your are speaking about trained people to use proper pronunciation to eliminate disambiguation.

In rescue we are talking about untrained people how give an initial communication by word of mouth. This data is then translated to coordinates and then communication by then trained people in the chain of rescue.

So the problem is this initial communication by untrained people.
See how the defect rate work:

If a particle kills a repairable part of the die (which can be downgraded, or cut-off) you still get from a quarter, to a half of die area dead, and a second grade chip.

But if you can make 2x dies from wafer even with the same defect rate (it will usually be less.) Even if the die will completely die from a local defect, you still get much more perfect dies in total, which is more important for your bottom line.

Standalone SRAM can be very repairable, and high yield with a custom process. Adding few spare columns, or SRAM banks should be covering for much more defects than if binning was done per entire CPU die.
Has anyone ever seen computers work in public school classrooms? I used to work in the edu software segment and I never did. Probably 75% of computers in schools don’t work at all, or run Windows Me or Mac OS 8. Classroom teachers and schools usually don’t have staff or funds to maintain computers in classrooms, and teachers probably have less of a clue how to use them than a fourth grader.
It has many layers. From the physical sensation, think of the relief you get from satisfying a need like eating or resting. It's a ritual, a routine that reassures you. It's an excuse to stop.
I imagine it comes down to risk. Anecdotally I did food prep for my college dining hall and we had a decent number of people asking for sandwiches on gluten-free bread, but we only had one who asked for a very strict protocol (had to be from a new bag of gluten-free bread, new gloves, sauces were squirted on only (no spatula that could have touched glutenous bread)). We knew the customer by sight so were used to going through the process - I'd guess it'd be tiresome to have to explain the whole process at every new restaurant.

That said, I'm doubtful a fast food restaurant would do much better for a dietary restriction that severe. I too miss local and independent restaurants and am a little sad to have missed the "golden age" of road trips in the US.
The whole thing does not sound very competent. Like noone could possibly guarantee that the result is not off by a factor of 2 or 3 or perhaps even 10 or more in some cases. What would happen in that case? It also sounds like a domain where mistakes could be very expensive or lead to lawsuits or similar such things.

> "if hardware is too hot for you to hold your finger on it indefinitely" it's too hot and it's going to break very soon!

From my experience, that doesn't happen like that in enterprise hardware. Either wrong voltage (inside the system) or defective design causes premature death. If the server BMC says it's fine, it's fine.

While it comes at the expense of the "smaller tribes", IMHO it's better for the individuals at these smaller tribes, as it frees them from the limitations and even tyranny of these smaller tribes - e.g. an extreme case is the "honor killing" culture, or LGBT people who happen to be born in a "strong small tribe" and need the wider society to protect them from their local community.

Looking at the contrast between different societies, it often seems that the fragmented tribalism is actively harmful to how pleasant it is to live in that society. For example, in places where "clan identity" matters, that clan mentality is a direct driver for nepotism and corruption which makes life worse for the larger community; countries where different ethnic groups have a strong "tribal" behavior tend to have a lot of inter-community conflict, discriminatory behavior and sometimes even violence up to the point of genocide; and I'd argue that it is better for individuals to live in a more integrated larger tribe without that inter-community conflict even if it does make these smaller tribes weaker or perhaps irrelevant.

Okay, but what if they got the invalid location and then the caller disconnected? Calling them back might be difficult. And if you do get the caller to repeat, can you now be sure that "jump.legends.warbler", which is in the UK, wasn't supposed to be "jump.legends.warblers", which is also in the UK? And how many cases are there that they didn’t mention, which were in the correct country, but a few kilometers off the real location?
