Is the kernel's proxy ARP support not enough to handle everything? What is the reason to have parprouted?
Yeah, this. I've used Ethernet bridge on old Netgear 802.11n routers, and it's quite fast.
Apt comparison, AWS is basically sudo in terms of resource provisioning.
Yeah. With that, you can easily do a lot of quasi-operator functionality with things like:

3 |> add(5) |> mult(7)

Not as good as "real" custom operators, but it still fills a lot of gaps.
> Money isn't a huge concern in the long term, but time and opportunity costs are a bad thing?

It's a balance, I'd say. At the moment, I'd willingly sacrifice some years of my life and potential earning power, but as time goes on, less so. If I were somewhat older, or even more older, I wouldn't do that at all. Don't want to be a junior for the majority of my career or risk not ever being able to retire. I'd think there's a difference between restarting at say 30 versus 40.

> You like certain areas of software dev better, but you aren't bringing yourself to writing code?

I wish I could explain this one, to be honest. As far as software development goes, my interests come and go very quickly, in a month, I may abandon what I'm interest in now. I'm actually recently off one of those cycles, during which I had intense interest, and many designs, but ultimately nothing to show for it.
This asymmetry is already very real, and a quite dominant pattern of Apple's strategy is now to build mechanisms to protect explicitly their ability to monetize all aspects of their _users_, not so much their devices.

These small steps taken under the banner of "preserving the users' privacy" are also steps to make sure that all those clumsy users don't get offered something without giving Apple the opportunity to profit from it first.

And the only disarming response to this so far is "yeah, but that's fine for me. I WANT Apple to take control, they're the good guys with the cool products!"
I am tired of hearing about "snippet of conversation you heard over a cubicle wall" nonsense!

How do you do backups to Glacier? Do you stuff all your media in there once a month?
Clicking links doesn't sound like the sort of thing that email servers would know about one way or the other. Likewise for engaging (or not) with emails at all. What setup do you have in mind where this is the case?

Given that AFAIK Apple Mail downloads entire messages regardless of whether they're opened, Apple's change here doesn't seem likely to affect delivery rates in this way anyway.
MFA won’t protect against phishing.
This is not much different than what happened in many states in the US. Oregon for instance prioritized teachers over the elderly even though there was no immediate payoff for doing so. After teachers, BIPOC were prioritized due to their higher than average death rate and rates of COVID, even though those rates were still far lower than those of the elderly.
Have her get blood work for various inflammation and fatigue markers like TSH/FT4/FT3, CBCs, Iron, TIBC, Serum Ferritin, VitD, IL-6, (etc) for a sanity check.

Some of it can simply be stress/anxiety which - if not managed - accumulates as whatever condition emotionally feels like it is "not resolving" and produces similar symptoms. If everything checks out, stuff like Omega3s, VitD, Glucosamine, Chondroitin and a good 3-4 week vacation to unwind are all greatly associated with reducing chronic inflammation.

I think the challenge we're all facing is Dr's are so overwhelmed with all these "inflammatory"-type conditions where some stuff can slip under the radar but they're all inclined to blame it on anxiety/depression. COVID has been a sneaky fucker wrt asymptomatic infections.

The best thing you can do is take as many stressors off the plate and give it 6-9 months. Better 6-9 months off than a lifetime of wading thru chronic issues.
>> cannot really be expressed in terms of rust's ownership system

> Of course it can

You cannot share objects using rust's ownership system.

Interior mutability involves an unacceptable performance hit (and doesn't actually allow you to share anything). And if you use shared indices into a centralized array, then you have blinded the ownership system, creating pointers that it cannot make sense of.

>> This function is not locally correct; in a vacuum, it is impossible to say whether this function violates invariants.

> That is also a use-case for unsafe: an unsafe function is one for which the caller is responsible for checking invariants.

That's exactly right, and was my thesis; rust's type system does not allow you to prove the correctness of such a function, because it is neither correct nor incorrect without context. 'Unsafe', as a subversion of the type system which allows unsound behaviour, is completely uninteresting wrt the topic at hand; the comparison is a purely theoretical one between non-'unsafe' rust—that is, rust's ownership model—and c.
Not surprising at all. Everyone knows x86's days are numbered - at a certain point, there's not many microarchitectural more optimizations you can do, given all the cruft associated to the ISA, and you really need to reach for a cleaner design to improve performance. This is partially why Apple and Amazon switched to ARM. Intel knows this, so they don't have much choice to begin exploring alternative ISAs. SiFive is a leader in the RISC-V space, and so is the obvious choice for an aquihire.
I guess the point I am trying to make is if you had chosen to be statically-linked from the start, then it would be comparable to a Go binary of today. If Go had many dynamic dependencies and people became "stuck" with them, and Go later introduced statically-linked binaries, then it would be the same as your C/C++ example, wouldn't it? In other words, it's not a distinguishing factor because you can be fully statically-linked in C/C++ if starting today with a new project with that goal in mind.
This could be done without duping the receiver’s email client into revealing that the email has been viewed.

The only EU threshold change affecting US businesses sending goods directly to EU customers is the removal of the 22 EUR low value consignment relief.

Regardless of sales volume, such businesses were not obliged to file VAT in EU before and will not be after the changes either - they will now be able to file IOSS VAT returns if they wish, though.

The annual thresholds the linked article talks about are all concerning intra-EU cross-border sales, not imports.
Linus Torvalds: Get vaccinated. Stop believing the anti-vax lies
Can someone explain to me how the difference of a molecule of some protein is any different when it's processed? How does my body know when I'm eating processed foods vs non processed?

I'm under the impression that when I eat food, my stomach converts it to a liquid, which then gets further "processed" through my digestive system, eventually absorbed in my blood stream. Is it the residual stuff that my body cannot break down but was unable to convert to fecal matter along the way that feeds into my blood stream the bad thing? Or is it still just straight up ignorance because people are afraid of having yet another process abstracted from their daily lives?
I think it’s as a service because it’s not needed often and only in situations where something goes wrong. The cost benefit may not work if you had to buy the thing.
OpenAPI is making some headway in this area, although its hard to get everyone to standardize around _something_. Especially after people have gone through so many different documentation types such as RAML, Apiary, and others.

I have a stock head unit on my car, based on QnX, I'm told. It has some amazing limitations. I will throw out a couple:

First, you cannot delete radio stations. You can overwrite a radio station, or you can unplug your car battery, but you can't just flat up delete a radio station you have plugged in. CRU, I guess.

Second, it sort of recognizes .mp3 files in the USB drive, but not .wav, and it certainly doesn't understand .m3u playlists. Baffling.

It's just so ... clunky and dumb.
Go Desperately Needs Nil Safe Types
My 2019 pickup has a backup camera and it's dumb as a post, even though the rest of the truck fairly bristles with sensors. The camera's view appears when I shift into reverse and goes away when I exit reverse.

I think nobody who prefers simplicity objects to that kind of tech. It's overcomplicated interfaces to basic services that we despise, like a volume slider that requires you to look away from the road and that's too easy to mishandle.
The AI field has a history of over confidence; just look up Marvin Minsky's predications in the 1950's and 1960's.
This had been repeated throughout AI history - a new approach is found, it has some promising initial results, and then progress gets stuck and the approach is basically halted for decades.

Machine learning and neural networks have prospered due to massive increases in computing speed and data, but I suspect it will also be a dead end in general AI. There will be some niche wins, some quite impressive, but the machine won't have the properties of an intelligent child or even a rat.

There seems to be a big difference in how actual neurons work - I think neural networks are misnamed. The brain is not a big matrix, biology does not appear to reinforce behavior using gradient operations. I think increased research into neuroscience and biomimicry is the most likely approach for general AI, but I think we are still far away and the current hype will just be one more dead end.
Heh it's still the government. :)
8 months ago I developed severe pain, burning and stiffness in hands. Then it went to the legs and finnaly to the whole body. It got to a point where I was bedridden and couldnt eat on my own. All of my energy was put into seeing doctors and doing labs tests wich all turned out negative. I was doing PT and pain killers but they were innefective. Finally, I got a meeting with a rheumatologist that said its fibromyalgia. There are no lab tests to prove fibro diagnosis so Im still not sure about this and I suspect it may be a covid sideffect. Luckily fluoxetin helped me to be back in life, overtime it modify brain to reduce the threshold pain in a soft tissue. Covid damages nerve cells in the soft tissue (thats why people lose smell or even has body pains) so the dots are connecting. I hope your wife will get better, I know how hard it is for a whole family. Normally Im a lurker but who knows, maybe this reply will help with your situation.
I never thought about piping into case ... I guess I'll try it next time ;)
> You’re basically asking to be charged based on your subjective experience, not on the actual cost of the goods and services. Or more accurately, you’re asking for other people to pay for extra goods and services they aren’t using so you can have them for free.

Neither of those points are true, and you didn't address my question as to whether you're happy to pay more for health insurance, since it costs the insurer more.
> These features Apple introduce sell well because people (including me) want them.

You want the service, you don't necessarily need it from Apple though. That's the crux of this entire argument: Apple's black-box model is terrible for the industry. Apple is opposed to any roads that don't run through taxable lands, so it should come as no surprise that they want to tear down everything that keeps the web currently working. The less functional the internet becomes, the higher pressure there is to use native apps: that's likely part of why Safari is woefully broken and outdated compared to Chrome and Firefox.

> If this is bad for journalism, we’ll end up in that crisis and figure out a way that doesn’t use these methods.

We are already in that crisis. Whenever a paywalled link crops up on Hacker News, the first comment is always an archived version for the 99% of readers who would otherwise be unable to read that. Compared to the past 15 years of reporting, that's a direct downgrade. Adding synthetic friction to the flow of information never works: games get cracked, movies get shared, shows get ripped and music gets leaked. It's nothing new, and pretending like it's somehow not going to affect the next decade of reporting seems a little disingenuous to me.
I agree. I like personalized ads. Where I'm bothered is when they're "too" personalized.

That seems to not be the case in practice. Highway funding is dependent on states setting a legal drinking age no lower than 21. Those two things are not plausibly related. And it's definitely coercive.

Once again, a plea for moderation from those calling for a return to analog gauges. Remember that outside of Tesla, automakers are generally pretty conservative and most computing in cars outside the head unit is decentralized MCUs that don't connect to the internet. And within the head unit, CarPlay/Android Auto has moved most of the work to phones.
There are entire classes of problems where a group of n persons working effectively together will produce a much better solution than 1 single person on an island (where n > 1).

In those situations, white boarding and deep dive are useful activities.

Business owners would absolutely love it if you could just run a complex (high value-add, high margin) business by only getting a bunch of commodity developers just pulling JIRA tickets from a heap, quietly humming away.

Reality is that, collaboration is important and is required in order to create non trivial products, and thus the margin to pay for the “people doing real work”.
How Roblox Became a Playground for Virtual Fascists
I got J&J even after the negative coverage. It uses the same delivery method (a modified adenovirus) as the vaccine used in China, which has already been tested on billions of people. I was skeptical about the mRNA mechanism of action from the start.

I wonder how much our lifespans will be reduced by these vaccines?
That isn't quite true. Since sars-covid-2 is new, it follows of course the specific vaccine is new. The RNA/mRNA approach goes back 30 years to HIV research, and the current vaccine has many years of research (directly from SARS-1 and MERS, and possible mitigations). A lot is known about them, regardless of widespread use. We will all undoubtedly learn more.

I'm not replying directly to you, but the duration of the immunity isn't terribly important past a certain point. The vaccine is much, much safer than infection. It prevents overwhelming of medical resources, and can reduce the community transmission levels to an extent that it can end a pandemic. Those are the primary benefits, not better or worse immune memory. That would just be a fringe benefit if it were the case.

"war rooms" are excellent in three cases:

1) creative brainstorming (ux, ui, branding, early architectural decisions) to ensure everyone can present and validate their ideas, and people are more on board with decisions as they saw democratic backing (or, at the very least, feel that objections they raise were heard!)

2) bringing staff that would normally be spread across multiple buildings and units together - the bigger the org and the more stakeholders involved, the more important a common space for (at least) the leadership team is, especially to cut through red tape and organizational barriers.

3) when you have an immediate problem (outages, GDPR incidents) to solve and secrecy is involved - no need to take care about people not in the loop, seeing stuff they are not supposed to etc.

What "war rooms" often enough end at, unfortunately, is cramped chicken coops. Not enough space, sales/PM people directly sitting and blathering in their phones next to developers, ... for months. That's a farce.
It's what every industry does. It thinks it's creating value by having more features, when in reality it's just creating more jobs. More middle people who each want a cut.
This isn't a great take; the fact that Palantir makes technology to racially profile people should mean that the company cannot deliver technology to fulfil the NHS's mission of equity in care "from the cradle to the grave." Additionally, even if Palantir was, not allowing them a contract would be a good sanction to encourage them to write software that treats all people with dignity and respect.

> how the difference of a molecule of some protein is any different when it's processed?

Not a nutritionist, but I believe the answer falls into two broad categories.

One, chemical: processed foods frequently contain additives, e.g. preservatives, that less-processed food doesn't.

Two, physical: a peach smoothie is digested and hits your bloodstream differently from a whole peach. They're chemically identical but physically different, and that changes everything from how quickly you ingest it, how much of it you ingest, how it hits the stomach and how it hits your gut.
Um, yes, but that's not to say that they can't run a better one.
Unfortunately I've found myself at a ceiling as far as learning, or at least self learning goes at the moment. Not sure if this ceiling is due or intelligence, or any number of correctable issues, but I'd have a hard to interviewing let alone landing anything not very close to what I do now. Don't have particularly good fundamental either, and see the first sentence for why that's an issue.

> Not sure if this is talking about your side project or generally, if it's general, then it kind of does not bode well for a career in software engineering.

Side projects for sure. In general it's harder to tell since I don't actually have to write too much code in my current role.

I can share a story about heart palpitations: I started having them in ~2008 without any previous infection (that I know of). Interestingly enough, they were appearing when my heart rate was going down - most noticeably while I was lying in bed trying to sleep, which isn't easy if your heart starts "missing some beats" out of the blue! Went to various doctors, they couldn't find anything wrong with my heart, but couldn't find anything that could help me get rid of the palpitations either. Then, in 2010, I got chickenpox, which at age 36 is a pretty big deal, with high fever, blisters all over the body etc. That took two weeks, and after that my palpitations were gone, and haven't returned since (knock on wood, fingers crossed etc.). So I can only assume that I had some form of myocarditis and the high fever got rid of that too?! No idea...
Is this a "true" bridge (i.e. every Ethernet segment coming in on one end is transformed into an appropriate 802.11 frame and vice versa)? If not, is that possible using an RPi?
"Thank you for your inquiry. This is not a service that we offer at this time -- our testing and release process is fully automated and there is not a way for us to exclude some customers and not others.

Can you please help us understand the purpose of the advance notice/release delay is? What benefit does a process like that provide to you or your organization?"

---

I generally use some variation of that ^^. Having some customers on different release tracks is very painful in my experience, especially if it's done without properly planning for it in your release process. For example, let's say that right now, anything committed to `main` goes out to production via some automated process. What happens when you have a security bug that needs dealt with ASAP? In my org, this usually means that the security patch gets rolled out to everyone, and then when it's time for customers on a slower release schedule to "catch up", there are conflicts to resolve manually.

It's just not worth it. Figure out why they're asking, but say no. If it's a problem with buggy releases, that's the _actual_ problem to put some time into solving.
This is the same problem as people working 40 hours a week have competing with people working 80 hours a week have; they mostly can’t. Even if the last 20 hours are so marginal that really, you might as well not have bothered the person who worked 80 hours a week got 1.5 times as much done, and in any job that isn’t totally routinised the knowledge and skills gained from working compound. They compound faster for those who work more hours.

I mean good? Like you, I struggle to see the downside of this, really. Probably the only risk in the bigger picture is the degree to which wealthy billionaires fund free lies such as Brietbart or the Murdoch papaers, while actual research and journalism is pay-for. But the wealthy billionaires are doing that anyway, so it's hard to see much change.
