I always feel skeptical to leave anything of value for any period of time in my car in NYC. However nothing has ever happened.
I did have a relative that had his car broken into years ago and have his stock car stereo taken. I had to ask him if that was still a thing, he too was a bit surprised since it was an older model car.
His car was parked in an industrial area that made it an easy target though.

When I move here long ago I was told don't leave any visible change in the car because a "crack head" would break the car for it.
I never understood this. The GPL folks turned out to be right. Big tech is rife with forks of open source these days that contribute little or nothing back to the community.
At a previous job many years ago, after a project would fail my coworker and I would habitually remark, “we’ve learned another way not to do things!”

There’s just such an abundance of creative ways to screw things up! But that’s kind of the point of the mental model — our brains are pretty good at spitting out tons of ways that things will fail. So hijack that process by making that list and then invert it.

What a complete load of nonsense. The Americans didn’t invent the pie - I know that it’s been around since at least Tudor times, and I suspect long before then. And Americans still seem to be baking lots of pies, if social media is anything to go by.

This is one of those quasi-political articles, a criticism of something about some identity group masquerading as nostalgic truism.

The point of control groups is, in effect, to not have to have the conversation we are having. It is incredibly glarring to have such uncontrolled differences between the two groups. I personally tend to believe the results are "correct" and "logical" and "expected", but this belief of mine is how confirmation bias works, hence I can not relly on this experiment exactly because of the reasons OP mentioned.

Fastest recorded visual reaction time in any animal was 0.015s (15ms) for a tiny fly to sudden bright light. The general rule is it increases with the physical distance a signal needs to travel across an animals nervous system and the complexity of what’s being responded to.

So, while I don’t have exact measurements on hand ~50ms is good enough for an internet comment.
Yes. Yes we do.
Thank heavens for this transcript.

I tried listening to this episode earlier today on my podcast app and I just couldn't sit through because of all the narration and dramatic music. Why can't they stick to just two people talking? It sounds more like a podcast for kindergarten and less like one for startups.
No, you have the timeline wrong. Exclusionary zoning took off almost immediately after Buchanan. Some of the original designers specifically cited that Supreme Court case as their motivation for passing such laws. Redlining and racial covenants were also used around that time for similar purposes.

Pies generally seem pretty unpopular in the US. It’s almost impossible to find savoury pies except for bland chicken, and when you do they have bizarre fundamental misunderstandings, like making a shepherds' pie with... beef. Pies just don't seem to be on the US culinary radar for some reason.
I can only speculate, but I'd imagine that anyone working in areas that touch on the technology that could lead to these kinds of capabilities get scooped up quietly, and no one else really knows. From the outside it would look like the research was a dead end. This kind of thing has happened before.
This almost is more of a testing methodology for engineered solutions to find failure scenarios, but I can see how using this would be perversely useful while searching problem spaces.
I dumped Intel servers for Epyc and Kaseya entirely. So, I’m looking pretty good with those decisions.
When is the government going to do pentesting on a large scale? It seems the only way to protect against these attacks.
It's not given that the cashier machines are the reason they are staying closed. Coop has a database that maps all items they sell to the corresponding price. What if they aren't sure about the integrity of it, and the possible offline copies that the stores have. That would be a very good reason to keep closed. After all, you wouldn't want to sell steak for the price of potatoes.

It isn't that long since i've seen Norwegian cashier machines running in offline mode. While Norway isn't Sweden. I'm under the impression that our payments systems are almost identical.
Shameless self plug here, but I saw this today and figured I should link to an interactive overview article "Understanding UMAP" my colleagues and I put together:

https://pair-code.github.io/understanding-umap/

UMAP is a really useful piece in the modern data science toolkit, and despite its power it's surprisingly simple and elegant. But as with all dimensionality reduction techniques, there's a lot of ways to misread the results. High dimensional data behaves very counterintuitively, and any reduction in dimensionality fundamentally distorts the original data in some way. Understanding the fundamental concepts behind UMAP and exploring how it works is the best way to develop an intuition of what the technique can and can't tell you about your data.
Yeah, the name is kinda unfortunate in the modern context, but in fairness it's easy to not expect that a packet filtering framework will turn out to be the basis for a universal kernel tracing system...
This is the worst article I’ve ever read, I want my time back. Listing types of pies at least 3 times, complaining about people buying pie crust… write a recipe for your incredible pie, do a YouTube video, anything constructive to change this problem the author imagines, instead of spending 10,000 words complaining.
> many mid career people with $1M dollars in net worth are not able to retire, because their net worth is not liquid

It really depends on the assets and the choices you want to make. Generally speaking, if you have $1mm worth of assets, you do not need to work. That's it. Period.

If you find that you need to work, you're making some other choice to work because of some factor that's overriding your desire to not work.

The liquidity of the assets is only relevant if you want to talk about specific cases, and even then it's likely not an issue. You can sell your house. You can withdraw from an IRA or 401k. Etc.
Liking this or not is an immaterial feeling-based opinion. If you don't understand software licenses and their impact, then you need to read about their limitations on the stakeholders. (DDG is your friend.)

GPL3 prevents TiVoization. If you want to make a "TiVo" without other people dictating what you can do with your effort, GPL3 is a nonstarter. The easiest thing to do is swap the userland for something with a better license.

Rich autocrats like RMS promoting snowball's chance unreasonable utopianism, an giveaway, noncommercial self-righteousness is fine when you don't have to feed a family or keep 100 workers feeding theirs too. Such purity is a luxury of the privileged and those with nothing else better to do.
I have a friend who has a store that was robbed repeatedly. He installed a vestibule like an airlock with two doors. On the wall were pictures of previous thieves, and a very obvious camera system. All customers coming in were remotely vetted. Cause trouble in the store, and your picture goes on the Wall Of Shame.

He said it was very effective in reducing bad behavior.

Back in the 70's when I'd frequent auto salvage yards, behind the front desk was a Wall of Shame covered in bad checks. You only got to try to pass a bad check once.

I also wouldn't be surprised to see shopowners starting to share data about who the thieves are, and the thieves will find themselves denylisted.

In my organization we kind of do this. We use one merge commit per pull request, without squashing. However, we also rebase before merging, which results in a commit graph that looks like a cactus:

At least the URL indicates the article is about pie crust. I wouldn't say making pie crust from scratch is dead in the US, but I feel like store-bought and graham cracker crusts are pretty popular.
If computation exists independent of humans, then the iPhone and SQL are evidence that small is more sophisticated.

If computation is not independent of humans, then there is no basis for a claim to objectivity. SQL and iPhones are simply all we know because we are limited to human experience. Experience which we know is at times fallible…we might be phlogiston wrong again.

What perhaps doesn’t register is at best it makes no difference if humans are smartest. It doesn’t make us smarter.

At worst, belief that we are smartest makes us dumber.

I came to the comments to post the same thing. --no-ff is under appreciated.

I like that this poster is at least thinking about what he wants the history to look like, but you’ll never get it good with a broad rule. It really takes the exercise of rewriting every change you make from a stream of consciousness set of WIP commits into a logical series of incremental patches with clear commit messages. And doing that every time you want to push anything (especially when it is “just” a WIP or feature branch). After a months practice your sense of taste will kick in and tell you if a --no-ff merge seems appropriate for the current chunk of work.
In fairness, hardware support is a pretty good reason:) But also: It's fun, it's interesting, and that's a good enough reason for some of us:)

He slightly mis-wrote, he meant percentage of carbon from food that gets converted to CO2 and then exhaled. Not all of food carbon becomes CO2 therefore you don’t need exactly equivalent biomass growth to offset food consumption.
> Since neither the future or the past can be changed by obsessive thoughts in the present...

Is this really true, though?

The past certainly cannot be changed, but the future is not set in stone. If I spend my time obsessively thinking about what kind of person I want to be, what kind of career I want to have, or what sort of companion I want to have in life, then it seems reasonable that these thoughts will lead me to pursue different courses of action than I would have pursued had I _not_ spent all this time in such ruminations. And, ideally, such thoughts should lead to better future outcomes, if the actions born from such thoughts are well-reasoned. Granted, this may not necessarily be the case in all circumstances, and an excess in obsessions may potentially lead to detrimental outcomes. But I think our ability to feel anxiety can be a blessing, not just a curse, when we work through our anxieties carefully and productively.
What choice do we have, realistically? How would you even opt out?

Everything carries a fossil fuel burden with it, the change cannot come from individuals.
As always, I think discussion really helps back it up.
But I'd expect someone who has had experience with some language/library/framework will have run into problems with it, and so will be able to discuss some problem which hints at that experience.

> This situation cannot be merely wished away. The tendency for an industry to concentrate in a particular city is historically broad and durable.

We have never seen these population levels in the USA, and a country with a bigger population seems to be tackling the problem with a level of success by building more cities.

Also, perhaps those other cities need to offer incentives for the companies to move. I just don’t think we are tackling the problem the proper way.

To everyone saying that Americans didn’t invent the pie: the article tells us in detail that pies in the US come from a long English tradition.

> dropped support for 32-bit apps and x86

Just this past week:

https://www.macrumors.com/2021/06/30/os-x-lion-mountain-lion...

From the article:

Apple has kept OS X 10.7 Lion and OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion available for customers who have machines limited to the older software, but until recently, Apple was charging $19.99 to get download codes for the updates.

As of last week, these updates no longer require a fee, and can be downloaded from the OS X Lion and OS X Mountain Lion support documents on Apple's website.

Mac OS X Lion is compatible with Macs that have an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor, a minimum of 2GB RAM, and 7GB storage space.

Mac OS X Mountain Lion is compatible with the following Macs:

iMac (Mid 2007-2020)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)

How much older do power-users and developers need?
Then I disagree with both parent and article and taking my opinion which is that we don't know and cant trust what the Chinese say on the subject.
Sure, there are many elegant interpreters. I'm not sure that patching DOM from the changes in a redundant data structure is one of them. Even Blink's idea to instead pull browser's own DOM into Javascript definitely looks saner to me.
The house I recently bought has a rhubarb patch, and I recall a neighbor making rhubarb pie many years ago when I was a kid. So I looked up some random recipes, kind of simplified to what I had on hand and it came out better than any store-bought pie I've had recently. Was much easier than I thought, and I don't have any specific training in this art form.

For the crust, you use 2 cups flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons sugar, and between 1/2 and 3/4 cup shortening (or lard works better), adding iced water while mixing until it is a stiff ball, which divides to make the top and bottom crusts.

The big trick though is if you have a filling that turns soupy when it cooks (like rhubarb does) then instead of mixing sugar in the filling you put a spread on the bottom crust, top it with your filling, then use dots of butter topped with sugar on the top before putting on the top crust. The sugar helps to caramelize the crust and keeps it from getting soggy.
As the threat of litigation became a new constant, the San Francisco Planning Department slowly began to craft a new approach to development. The city’s 1971 Urban Design Plan was the first to codify the shift in values from the Modernist freeway-and-tower model toward a greater respect for San Francisco’s unique neighborhoods and their human-scale features. The plan focused on preserving and expanding existing neighborhood character

...

But the largest legislative achievement of this emerging anti-growth coalition would be the Residential Rezoning of 1978, a project to implement stricter controls across all of San Francisco’s neighborhoods. In addition to creating 40-foot building-height limits for most residential areas, the legislation included new setback rules (regulating how far a building could be from the public right-of-way), low-density requirements (limiting the number of housing units in a given building), and overall design guidelines aimed at preserving entire neighborhoods in amber.

A big part of it is likely that many components are mostly stand-alone - even things like coreutils can be replaced at will so long as everyone is using POSIX/portable behaviors - but make(1) gets used by every package that you build, so if any of your packages are using GNUisms in their Makefile you need GNU Make. (Of course, you could declare gmake as a build dependency for 3rd party software that you're packaging, but that only allows you to kinda segment the problem out rather than solving it)

It really doesn't need to be that complicated. From what I can see (in Psychology) a combination of statistical illiteracy and motivated cognition is more than enough.
One interesting thing to also account for is the correlation between activities regarding cost or schedule impacts. Meaning the uncertainty analysis should also account for systemic effects where a ballooning of one item’s will also cause another item’s schedule to increase by some correlated amount

Frequently, in experiments done before "double blind" and "control group" became the standard, we had results where something for which we were "struggling to find a reason" to be important, actually turned out to be important.

I agree with the sentiment but ironically your transliteration of the name of that language reveals that it certainly has undergone at least some sound changes. Why do people in the north pronounce the vocalic "r" as "ri" while in the south they use "ru"? Why do people in the north drop word final schwa but in the south they add a nasal bilabial?

While it's very easy to pronounce Samskrta in a way similar to what was likely used in classical times, there have definitely been sound changes to an extent.

cus,

It's annoying that they throw out half of that info.
There are valid points on both sides of that issue. On one hand, sophisticated image processing techniques require a level of user education that doesn't fit nicely into a UI. How to get the most out of the various tools belongs in the manual.

On the other hand, Darktable's UI would benefit from some polishing, and perhaps a more gentle learning curve for beginners to become productive. This is very common in open source applications, as there tend to be more programmers contributing than UX designers.
Come on now, you're doing more cherry-picking than the article.

The title of the article is "Car break-ins are up as tourism returns to San Francisco", not the title selected for the HN submission. The money quote is actually from the 6th paragraph buried of the article, two full scrolls down:

> Last month, the Police Department’s Central Station saw a 753% increase in auto burglaries compared to the previous May. But that was the height of lockdown restrictions. They are up only 75% compared to 2019.

As you can see, all of the numbers are properly contextualized. The graph above the quote includes the 2019, 2020 and 2021, clearly demonstrating the dip in 2020.

The article is focusing on Central Station because the central premise of the article is that the increase is in tourist areas. There is nothing nefarious going here either. From the article;

> Statistics from San Francisco police show that break-ins have risen sharply in tourist areas, particularly the San Francisco Police Department’s Central District

Overall it is a pretty neutral reporting, upfront about their sampling biases, and no, not implying a general pattern or carrying out a conspiracy against SF.
The thing is I was in Coop yesterday when the attack started and they had at least two payment methods working fine. Swish and cash.

They likely closed to avoid issues with rejecting customers who didn't get the message. Or perhaps just to be on the safe side because they didn't know who the attack was aimed at.
> return err; // breaks, since err is spooky and only "scoped" in the catch block

Both err's? (the argument and the one you define)?

console.log(e)
} finally {
return e;
