Being clear here there's a difference between what "building more housing" means in SF, Seattle etc, that is, densifying existing detached homes and creating a compact city, and what is means in Vegas, Phoenix and other places, which is unsustainable, endless, automobile dependent sprawl. The former a much more politically challenging thing as it means pushing back against the "American Dream" of a detached home and white picket fence. Adding yet another house on the edge is of course quite easy.

This sprawl is part of what is driving the doom of cities like Las Vegas and Phoenix. Woefully inefficient sprawl, absurdly large highways and countless CO2 emitting cars.

I'm sure electric cars will help, but it's gonna be a tough transition to there and the energy needs will be incredible. What really needs to happen is to stop sprawling and rebuild these cities, but who knows if the genie can be put back into the bottle there.

It's not impossible either.

Cheap brute force hack: Have a chip burn power to heat the chip up to a constant temperature. This was done in one of the early precision band-gap references.

More expensive brute force hack: Stick a Peltier cooler on the thing, and servo to a well-controlled temperature.

Communication equipment is critical to work for emergency use, and coincidentally, emergency use is when you're most likely to see high temperatures.

tl;dr: Military equipment is required to operate like this, and has insanely high-performance RF equipment.
And that being a system boundary thing, it’s easy to imagine it as an integration issue, where the controls side maybe assumed it would get a dummy frame or something.

I don't want to rule out you being deeply abnormal, but perhaps you just feel accepted for who you are.
I appreciate the point being made from the outside. I have no social media persona (a decade-old defunct Facebook account might be it, plus HN which doesn't feel social in the same sense), yet I don't feel that I'm homeless in the virtual space. I simply don't inhabit it, and I don't feel that I'm missing out.
Note that the link is supposed to include the "!". It's at https://osmgo.com.

This seems to be unrelated to another thing called OSM Go at https://osmgo.org, and on the same wiki at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_go

Not confusing at all!
Let me rephrase: It's the wrong platform for the discussion of anything controversial. Their ToS can pretty much be boiled down to "If you make trouble for us, we'll punish you. Or just delete your account." And "trouble" is defined as "threaten our business model in any way," which leads to their delightfully vague policies that try to balance the advertising revenue a loud idiot can generate against potential regulatory actions.

There's a difference again. Is "server" a chassis in a rack with redundant power and some RAID array or is it some standard computer that was christened as such? It's not a useful category because it allows for arbitrary segmenting to pump the numbers. Are we counting by service, machine, company? Depends what result you want.

If you're going to count windows machines (as in cases) by hand at a Noc, farm or center you won't be needing a calculator or likely a second hand.

Windows is certainly more prominent than Solaris or any commercial traditional unix but outside of desktops, which have a cleaner definition, it's been going in same direction for 20 years.

Microsoft has also been pivoting away from windows as a revenue source for a while. Video consoles, media companies, Azure, LinkedIn, GitHub, they don't necessarily see windows in their future and we shouldn't either
People sell their redditor accounts frequently for their digital tokens (upvotes) - reddit does not require people to use KYC.

Yes, I understand there is an implicit difference here, but this just shows how dumb KYC laws are to begin with as they can be easily bypassed by criminals and serve only to dox the law abiding citizens.

I, as a pro-social, well behaving, net positive contributor to society - have to trust everyone I do business with with my personal information. It's honestly absurd, if I were a criminal I would bypass this with great ease, yet because I want to behave legally I put myself at risk for identity theft frequently just to be able to do business with other people who also likely don't want to be responsible for securing my private information.
Yes, actually, people overestimate the reversibility of wire transfers. And before cryptocurrency, there were still shady money services such as Liberty Reserve or Perfect Money with little qualms about their habitual clientele.

Military BGAN doesn’t get anywhere near this throughput in this package, so the size-performance is quite different there IMO, and isn’t a fair comparison to what Starlink is doing with their terminal.
Technically San Diego is in a desert.
To be fair, designing such a small thing with cooling for this kind of temperature is really hard. You'd actually need active cooling, because otherwise you'd be too susceptible to colder temperatures, and even then the sun would quickly bleach out all components - assuming you'd even see something on the screen to begin with. Not designing your phone to run under the direct sun is IMO a reasonable trade-off.

It's not that they don't know, it's that they pretend they do, they don't want to discuss uncertainty and they dismiss when you bring it up. I'm on my 5th treatment that they're "very confident will really help a lot" but can't quite quote a percentage change of recovery for.

At least that's been my experience with very similar issues.

Sorry for your condition. You're not the only one in the boat. So at least we have company. I hope that helps.

> It cannot absorb a mass westward migration. this is evident in the property values where settlement has already been long established.

Sure it can, if it were built at any remotely reasonable density. But there are plenty of people deeply invested in that not happening who already live there.
On MacOS most of the files that makeup the system are now write protected (not just the file permissions, but something called "System Integrity Protection" or SIP). So you can't overwrite them. You can add a new install, but then you have to know how to change your $PATH to view that location first. That is just one more thing you have to know.

Apple did start to have a binary in the default location that was really a chooser that would respect per-user settings and re-direct you (exec) to the "right" install, but they seemed to have backed off on that.
That just seems like normal anamorphic mode but I guess built into the TV? DVD players would do it for you too so long as you set the aspect ratio in settings to match your TV. Otherwise an anamorphic wide-screen DVD would be basically unwatchable on 4:3. DVDs were often released as Full Screen (4:3) or wide-screen editions which were typically anamorphic unless it was poorly done.
I will say, New Orleans is really underrated. I understand the flood risk and it would make me nervous too, but what a great city. Perhaps there’s a way to keep the core city above water long-term?

Are there any statistics on homelessness per city? There seems to be a rise in homelessness in Atlanta as well, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was a country-wide thing for big cities.
Thanks, I'm looking at the Max Lumi 13.3, and am very tempted, the price tag however is what prevents me from buying it just now. I mean, it's adequate for the hardware, but I hoped I could spend not much over €500. Hopefully their price will drop next winter.
Have you been up front with the type of comp you’re willing to give?
I'm immensely pleased with the approach they've chosen, because it offers the possibility of improving your stripe size, without requiring commitment to. New blocks are written with the new stripe size, so all you have to do to improve your stripe width is rewrite all of your files (and deal with the snapshot churn that will cause). It also offers the tempting possibility of the reverse, where you can create new files with stripes and then rewrite all your data to reduce capacity.

I used to work at Isilon, and the design of this feature looks very familiar to me: That's a good thing. I'm excited for the possibilities for ZFS going forward. I hope they'll come up with a restriper tool that will allow you to rewrite all of your files with the new block layout without breaking snapshots, etc, but either way, this is a huge advancement for my own personal use of ZFS.
It can be fun to figure this stuff out for yourself. Constantly catering to the first time player can bore or even alienate the experienced player. It’s a delicate balance.

Even for a new player. Learning the ins and outs without being spoon fed can be part of the journey. Of course that doesn’t excuse horrible and unintuitive UIs.
Designing the systems that run the 'ML pipeline', or end to end data collection > train -> deploy -> infer -> improve. I don't see 'ML Engineers' as advancing the state of the art but they should be fluent in recent techniques, know how to apply them, optimize them, know hardware is needed to efficiently train, etc.
This can't be a new problem, how do companies like Direct TV handle this? More robust equipment?
> Unfortunately the BBC do not always own all the rights to broadcast something

This is not something that happened by accident. For the last thirty years governments of all stripes have been forcing the BBC to outsource more and more of their production to independent companies. The BBC (or rather me and you) pay for the production and the production company keeps the rights.

When the government recently forced the BBC to publish presenter salaries, they then complained that much of the information they wanted was out of their reach because the programmes were made by independent companies. No shit!
I guess you hate Phoenix? Alice cooper, the Meat Puppets, stunning desert vistas?

People should almost certainly get over grass lawns, I know there is going to be huge problems with water, but afiact Phoenix recycles a huge proportion of their greywater, and this is a perfect use case for solar, molten salt, nuclear.

Hard to farm, I guess. Isn't there gold to mine too?
Keeping two infras in sync means that you gotta have some kind of formalized management process. If you do have that, then there isn't much value in having the fail over up and running at all time, you can just build/launch it if needed.

This is easy in a containerized env, if you don't have that luxury having batch scripts that can provision all the critical servers quickly does the trick. This combined with reliable database backups should be enough to make the impact of such an attack trivial.
Yes the 2 different flavours of Control Panel for example are jarring. If MS seems to think that the new UI style is not fit for purpose or worth the effort for more rarely used or technical settings, why should I?
Lol. This is like Tesla saying regulations prevent them from releasing full self driving. Don't advertise something you can't deliver.
Even if the BBC made absolutely everything in-house they still would have contracts with individual performers and other talent that would have residuals that would have to be negotiated for 'streaming' as a concept.
Exactly. Get on a strength training program. Once you develop a strong posterior chain almost any chair will do. Your back doesn't hurt after 15 mins of sitting when you can deadlift 405.
Nobody was expecting streaming to be the main way we consumed content back in 2001. You're using that time machine again.
Correct, HN is socialist, not social.
I think this is always going to be a very personal choice, I have Herman Miller Embody office chairs and they’re hands down the most comfortable chair I’ve ever used. Beats out the H-M Aaron, the Humanscale Freedom, and all of the Steelcase chairs I’ve tried too.

I think they tend to run about $1700 USD so not inexpensive, definitely worth trying any chair in person before spending money.

"Building more housing" in SF, Seattle, etc means building apartment complexes whose cost is restrictive enough such that only those that aren't experiencing a housing crisis can afford them.
HPC also sells a lot of GPUs. A lot of ML folks don't seem to appreciate that neural net training (outside of Google) is actually a fairly small market for the GPU companies compared to games and simulators.
If the pandemic started right now, I’d get a Herman Miller on day one and be done with it. I feel we’re too close to the end now though. I’ve been through three chairs since we started working from home last March.

Cool. I think those folks could simply use a fan and sleep fine during the energy rush hour.
Streaming rights side (since you’ve already mentioned it in other replies), and playing devils advocate here: does the current financial model of the BBC permit the digitisation of all this old material? Could it be a logistical and capacity issue? Did they consider the cost to the public and determine the additional effort/cost outweighs the benefits? Costs being both financial and political.
30 years later and people are actively working on these games. Amazing. What will come of future games? With all the server backend code I guess we will lose most games once the company in charge no longer wants to pay server costs due to dying player levels.

On this new update of Firefox, tabs are disconnected from the page. Are they even tabs anymore?!? They're just disconnected rectangles with round corners!

I'm half joking but honestly I don't know why they bother with this. And for whatever reason, it gets under my skin and feels weird.
Starlink is in beta. The entire purpose of the beta is to find stuff like this. They found something, and I'm sure that the next iteration of this before it goes to mass market will account for it.

You're just seeing the system work.
I know very few people who want attention from strangers when they go out in public. Most of us want to be left alone while we go about our business. Online provides a forum for people to get the sort of attention we might like. "Look what I can do!" or "Look at me!" Still, one of my gripes about social media is that there are so many people who lurk. The lurkers are there to look at people attempting to get attention. The attention seekers are acting. They are on a stage. Nobody is confusing the act for the real person except the young and naive. The lurkers are the audience. Lurkers don't contribute anything (most won't hit the like button, much less comment, even if later the tell me "I loved your post"). The quiet ones are not "homeless."

Burning Man attempts to solve this with the no spectators rule:

“‘No Spectators’ is a long-standing saying on Playa. You are encouraged to fully participate. It’s all about being there, being fully present, and not just observing. Two of the ten principles of Burning Man are radical participation and radical inclusivity, meaning that there are no outsiders. Everyone is part of the experience.”

– Nora Atkinson, The Fleur and Charles Bresler Curator-in-Charge, Renwick Gallery

Again, nobody is confusing the Burning Man persona with who they are back at the office after the event is over. People try things out, take mind altering drugs. Identity is fluid. Social media isn't bad because it is fake. Social media is good because it is fake.

"...we tend to see other people’s lives as works of art." Sometimes, but most people aren't that good at performance.
Even where the BBC produces the programme itself, they can be prevented from streaming if they have included music where streaming rights weren't negotiated.

It’s not about driving or not, it’s about whether you take the risks of driving seriously.

Speeding around a motorcycle while going over a hill is a good example from the article. See also: distracted driving, DWI, driving while overtired, and all sorts of other behaviors that are super common.

So many collisions are preventable if people just took driving seriously. I don’t think people are as conscious of the risks and dangers as they should be.
I'd been hearing about the Leap for years and always kind of mentally shrugged, until I started at my current employer, which used that as their standard chair.[1] In appearance, they're mostly just "standard office chair," but wow they're nice. I ended up buying a Gesture for home -- new, although on sale.

I definitely agree with the "everything else" part -- I know keyboard trays are kind of unfashionable these days, but unless you have a desk which is as low as a standard keyboard tray (or an adjustable desk, of course, which lets you get there!), it really makes a difference in posture. My current home desk is a little awkward for this -- it has a tray, but the desk height puts the 27" monitor (iMac) I have at too high a level unless I raise the chair enough that my knees are just about touching the tray. In retrospect, I wish I'd gotten a desk without a tray, and used my chair with a foot rest. (Which I just saw you mentioned.)

[1] I'm using past tense because at the end of 2020 we moved from "independent subsidiary of [LargeCo]" to "just part of [LargeCo]", and when we stop being remote we'll move to LargeCo's offices. I have no idea what they have there.
Understood, i spent the weekend roaming around Borrego Springs.

My broader point is that there is a lot of land in ’the west’ that doesn’t meet the criteria that the author is talking about. Oregon, Washington, Montana, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado all have attractive destinations that aren’t (literally or practically) the desert.

Also, anecdotally it seems many of the folks migrating to Austin are actually moving east.

The point the author is making is legit, I’m just engaging in the time honored tradition of roasting bad titles.
My guess would be that a "platform" for serious video content could not be financially viable on today's internet. It would need be able to alienate advertisers over points of principle, effectively argue those same points with regulators, and field an army of capable moderators. It would probably end up looking more like a public-interest media company than a video-sharing site.

Discovering an algorithm to govern on-site activity by the general public that doesn't lift the scum to the top could be a decent start.

> No, failing at 122F is not acceptable

I don't think it is a simple as saying that. If, for example, it cost twice as much to design something that works up to 140 as it does to make it work up to 122, I don't think it makes sense to make everyone in the world pay twice as much for something they don't need.

You should sell a more expensive version that works up to 140.
>>I simply don't inhabit it, and I don't feel that I'm missing out.

I've wondered about this - but how do you know what you are missing out on? For example, if you were active on twitter or LinkedIn and carefully cultivated those profiles, who knows what life changing connections you may have made? (I've seen several people comment on getting jobs, business partners, fellow hobbyists, etc. on twitter.)
