I just posted something very similar, and was surprised to see there were not more comments along this line. My family isn't red, but just in general dealing with them is kind of exhausting. The extended is fine to spend time with, but they are constantly in petty fights with one another and trying to align others to their "side" when I just want to find out who is coming for Thanksgiving and what I should bring. Some of them continue to make the same exact poor decisions over and over and then bitch about ~~the consequences~~ their lives.

There is only so much I can take, there are lots of other people in my life who I never view dealing with as someone I have to subject myself to but do not want to.

According to other sources, Microsoft will reveal Windows 365 pricing on Aug. 2, when the service becomes generally available.

Cool to see RDP-ish type capabilities outside of tech circles but will wait until the price is revealed. My guess is that it will still be out of reach for most consumers, unfortunately.
It is absolutely a problem if population shrinks too fast. There is a threshold where the young literally can't feed care for the elderly.

Honestly thanks for the info on the riots. The KKK is so obvious that I'm embarrassed it didn't cross my mind.

I will be the first to admit I have zero understanding of protestantism other than that most seem nice. They're like Muslims to me except they believe in Jesus which seems nice.
I have worked on a number of runtimes and it is not generally the case that a GC needs to be "tuned" for a runtime, rather that a GC co-evolves with a runtime and features or misfeatures of the runtime determine the path of least resistance for developing more advanced GC algorithms. The interplay tends to involve a lot of technical debt if the separation is poor from the outset. But regardless, it's rare that a runtime develops more than a couple GC algorithms unless it has a very long lifetime or is explicitly designed to allow swappable GCs, like Jikes RVM with Mmtk.

GC performance depends more on the program than the language.

But regardless, the hardest parts of getting to advanced GCs, such as concurrent and parallel algorithms are usually very deep assumptions of single-threadedness and uninterruptibility that are debt in the runtime. It usually doesn't help that most runtimes are written in C/C++ and suffer that environment's complete uncooperativeness[1] in finding and manipulating roots.

[1] To the point of seeming hostility. It's been how many years and LLVM still fights against supporting stack maps?
Genuine question, how do you figure out if a competitors product is based on stolen code?
Yes, pretty sure anyways, things do happen. The rate of Tesla fires is quite a bit less than gas powered cars though. Tesla has failsafes to prevent fires, but nothing is perfect.

Doesn't seem that unusual, I wanted to replace the door between my house and garage, turns out there's a specific building code specification for that door, because apparently cars catch fire in garages.
It hasn’t been a very convenient solution though. I suspect the key here is the managing of everyone’s data and machine in the company. Instant-on personal clients with the company directory would be great for administration.
My layperson's understanding of conservatorship: if there is any possible doubt about your ability to care for yourself and money can be made from the conservatorship, you are very likely to find yourself in a conservatorship and will have great difficulty in getting out of it.

If you are absolutely unable to care for yourself and are in desperate need of help but there is no money to be made, you will probably find yourself living on the street in a major metropolitan area.
Not a lot. It's almost a wash. Let's say another engine takes half the market. Now you've got twice the attack surface , but the vulnerable population is half as large for each.

But some attacks are only worth it if the pool of vulnerable devices is large enough. So the fragmentation helps, bust mostly for lower stakes attacks.
Ah yes, good call, thanks for the keen eyes!

I'm not sure its punishment as long as they keep making their pound of gold. In fact it probably makes it easier for them since they can just say sorry it was x country who made us do it allowing them to deflect any responsibility.
I mean, sure, but parent comment was implying platforms have special legal protections currently, which isn’t really the case.
It certainly is.
I worked on a redemption device a long time ago, one of those "stop the lights" game for a large manufacturer.

There were a few jurisdictions, Iowa and New Jersey come to mind, that were already aware of the nature of these machines and required the manufacturers to have their software audited and validated by (state approved) third-party gaming labs identical to what the slot machine companies do when getting code approved for release.

The key point was that the probability of a win couldn't be adjusted on the fly to make the target payout percentage (kind of what the article says). The probabilities had to be fixed for every player on every game. Although the first method is a lot easier to write, software-wise. =)

For the rest of the jurisdictions, the default payout was 40% and anything was fair game to hit that number. Remember that the next time you're in a Chuck E Cheese.
>> Platform shouldn't have the right to an opinion on content.

> Why?

Because if it has that right it should have the full responsibility for everything it publishes. With no leeway.

>> Same way that when you open a store you can't pick and choose your customers.

> Of course you can, you just can't refuse service based on legally protected classes, that's the exception not the rule.

Depends on the local law. For example in Poland if you have a store and you put up some good for sale and mark it with a price, you can't refuse it to sell it to anyone that is willing to pay that price. No special classes, just a simple rule. If you are selling, you are selling.

> Platforms should operate their sites however they like within the confines of the law and individual users can decide which sites they prefer to use based on how those sites operate.

Right, and the law should say that they can't have an opinion about the content they publish, and they can't take down or promote stuff based on that opinion.
Few years ago I almost self-signed Transmission-bt app bundle via Xcode CLI tools because OSX falsely detected some KeRanger malware in it and tried to remove the app. And I was committed to run it by any means, cause I was tired of uTorrent.

Turned out it wasn’t a false positive, their dist site got pwned. Other than that, I’m very careful with pc security.
IANAL. But reading the "Urteil", it seems that it is rather technical in nature. In particular, someone uploaded a video. YT said that it violated its COVID-19 guidelines and removed it. Plaintiff said, listen, we had a contract, you can't just delete my stuff. YT said, well, the movie contravenes the current COVID-19 guidelines. Plaintiff said, well, but it doesn't contravene the guidelines you had at the time we made the contract. YT says, fair enough, but we changed the guidelines. Court says, you can't just unilaterally change the ToS unless you make a new contract. YT said, well, we said we could change the guidelines. Court says, yeah, but just saying that the guidelines might change does not give you the right to change the guidelines unilaterally unless you say in the ToS not only that you might change the ToS but that you reserve the right to unilaterally change the ToS and then notify the user of the changed ToS and then have the user agree to the new ToS (either explicitly or implicitly by continuing to use the service). Thus, old ToS apply. So, don't remove the video that was in line with old guidelines.

TLDR:

- YT has to pay a fine because the court says, look, there was a contract, stick to it, and they didn't stick to it.

- This has nothing to do with COVID-19, or free speech. It's purely contract law.

- My prediction: YT will change its ToS and include the pertinent clauses, we'll all agree to the new ones, and then they'll be able to delete anything they want anytime they want (in accordance with their new ToS).
I assure you huge number of developers do their development stuff on windows. It wouldn’t surprise me if it was a majority (given how big the majority is for windows on the desktop overall).

Edit: indeed after some quick googling it does indeed seem to be the clear majority desktop OS even for people identifying as software developers, for example in the StackOverflow developer survey.
I'm not sure I follow your argument, because, first, no major browser maker is in the business of selling their web browser software, and second, if you're using the browser maker's software to verify the server, you already have access to it. So even if they were selling it, you've already paid for it.

Google's self-interest does factor into these decisions, though: Google's interest is in making more people use and trust the internet. The more people who feel comfortable buying things online, for instance, the more ads they'll click from online sellers. The more businesses who feel comfortable selling things online, the more ads they'll buy, and thus the more profit Google will get.

So it's important to Google that the internet remains perceived as a secure and trustworthy place to do business. If users are in the business of making judgment calls about certificates, some fraction of the time they'll be wrong - and they aren't going to say "Oh, I made a mistake," they're going to say (correctly, even) "Oh, doing secure transactions on the web is too difficult."

There are a whole lot of ways in which Google's interests are badly biased against end users, and as you mention FLOC is a perfect example. Wanting the web to be secure is not actually one of them, though.
It may be my upbringing, but it's really hard for me to pull the two apart. In my small home town, religion was (and to a large extent is) the local culture. Everything revolved around the local religion. 90% of the town practiced the same faith, so edicts from that faith's leadership would invariably effect everything. Cultural acceptability was measure by the standards of the faith. Granted, that was a VERY controlling faith.

For me personally, what drove me away from my childhood religion was simple research into it's history. Why should I care if my leaders claim homosexuality is a sin when they've done far worse in the past also claiming to come from god?

Yet for my parents, going against the leader's edicts is unthinkable.

All that comes back to my thoughts on estrangement and religion. While that's not a route my parents have taken, it happens a lot from the online stories I've read.

I guess this is a long winded way to say I'm still trying to figure out how much culture causes religion and religion causes culture. How many of these wild generational differences are due to just general cultural shifts from things like media, and how many of these changes came from things like leaving a faith behind? Did A cause B or B cause A or is it too complicated to be answered in a HN comment section.
I think we were objecting to different things. I broadly agree that large mainstream denominations supported slavery. I just pointed out that many equally large denominations did not. If we're talking about Christianity as a whole, it's a mixed bag. There's no reason the SBC should be singled out.
Sadly, when I was young adult, I knew my parents were not perfect and was happy with everything they did for me. They, like typical Asian parents, were always criticizing but I learned to ignore it.

It wasn't much later when I had my own child, they finally broke me. Not only they set high expectations for how I will help them have relationship with their grandchild, and criticizing our parenting, but also started criticizing 2 year old. For their part as grandparents, they did bare minimum, that is attend a birthday, ask for pictures because relatives are asking for photos. Never made an effort to come visit us. That is when they broke something in my brain.

Now I resent them more than ever, I wish I had never let them criticize me as an adult. I lost faith in God since they are so religious. I am trying to be complete opposite of them. I have mostly stopped feeling joy. I live mostly to fulfill my duty as a father. I really want to pack everything and move to the other side of the world but wife doesn't agree with that.

And as a father, I realize that there is no sacrifice in parenting. You choose to be a father. That was your choice. My kids are the only things that bring me joy right now. Yes sometimes they push my limits and I am tired, but it was my choice to have them. Thinking that my kids are making me sacrifice will probably make me resentful towards them. When I am playing video games while tired because I am so close to finishing a level, I don't say I made a sacrifice.

EDIT: I want to add that I have lost joy in everything related to my parents like my culture, songs that I grew up with, religious festivals, food, stories, career, etc. I hate it.
I don't remember where I read it, but this is a big description of my childhood experience:

> Sometimes people use “respect” to mean “treating someone like a person” and sometimes they use “respect” to mean “treating someone like an authority”. And sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say “if you won’t respect me I won’t respect you” and they mean “if you won’t treat me like an authority I won’t treat you like a person”. They think they’re being fair but they aren’t, and it’s not okay.
My "internal" (local hosts + server nodes) are on its own VPN with wireguard. Even with a VPN, I've letsencrypt provided certs on some of em because it's nice, but it's not strictly necessary. People being able to know that I've things running in my own /8 is not a major security problem.
Just stop. Repeat after me: "My apologies. I got a bit angry and said some things I didn't mean."
I like this perspective. There are so many folds to it, though.

First fold: Christendom and its 2,000-year-old siblings/cousins Islam (also Confucianism? Buddhism?) have been around long enough to form a sort of base social reality.

Second fold: These 2,000-year-old cultural regimes are crumbling and we are moving into new cultural regimes.

Third fold: The crumbling is actually, as you said, a reversion to the mean.

Fourth fold part A: This so-called reversion to the mean is itself impossible because cultures from 2,000 years ago were themselves much different from the cultures that came before them, and so on in both time and space dimensions.

Fourth fold part B: This so-called reversion to the mean is impossible also because we don't have enough context about ancient cultures to say that we are reinstantiating them, and things have changed so much (technology, residual effects of the most recent cultural regimes) that, even if we had enough information about the ancient cultures, there's no way we're really doing what they were doing.
Agreed. My point is that in the current state of affairs, 3rd parties dictate how we use our computers. In an ideal world, users should have the option to customize behavior with relative low effort or cost.

The root problem is that software is incredibly expensive to build.
Thanks. This answered what I needed to know whilst sticking within the safe confines of HN
Tesla's annual car sales is anticipated to exceed 1 million (but not 2 million), so technically yes, they would be in the "millions."

I also don't see BMW or Audi growing very fast; they're luxury brands and scale would actually harm their image. However, I do see GM, Ford, and VW scaling very quickly once they launch new EV models.

Ford's F150 Lightning will handily outsell the Cybertruck once it's available. (And the F-series itself is the best-selling vehicle of all time in the U.S. [Edit: and second-best all-time worldwide, after the Corolla series].)
I don't really agree with this.

We have this issue a lot with our standups.

The wording we've agreed on is "can I talk to anyone later about xxx?"

Where you agree to take something offline, but don't necessarily who to talk to it about or if it's appropriate to the whole group.

It's actually pretty weird thinking about how much time effort and sweat that was put in into coming up with those exact words.
It should still stick to the contract it has made with its users (ToS). So just say that you reserve that right upfront.
>Develop software that can fly the planes autonomously from strip to strip (I assume this is the really hard part, but I am under the impression that autonomous flying is a much easier problem than autonomous driving?).

I guess it could be easier in some ways, still the idea of passenger UAV(?) seems insane for some reason
You have every second available up until your last breath.
Well sure, definitely. But at any prize that’s enough to be a sole reason for a person to enter a hackathon, imho that’s either 1) a poorly designed hackathon or 2) a really ugly way for a company to fund R&D.

I’ve never participated in a hackathon with a 1st prize worth over $500, and I’m not sure I’d want to. But I guess if I had a bunch of random unmonetized projects sitting around then entering them into high-prize-value hackathons could be a way to shop them around. I’m just not sure why an organization would call an event like that a “hackathon.”
With all due respect, if they had built airports in the middle of cities, we would all be complaining about why we had to take a taxi to the train station miles from the city centre.

There should be an app like table-for-six to let strangers come together to have lunch, not for dating but just having a meal together.
It's hard to describe, things just feel quicker. Scrolling through files in vim or tailing logs is super smooth, when your grep accidentally hits a huge json file that's lurking in your project it prints instantly instead of making the terminal unresponsive for a few seconds.

I used Urxvt for about fifteen years, it didn't feel slow at all. Kitty just _feels_ faster.
I invested a meme: sacks, packs, & cracks
I invented a meme:
sacks, packs, and cracks.

How have you all being getting by with saying closed square bracket, and open parenthesis? What a mouthful.

sacks = square brackets. Open sack, closed sack.

packs = parentheses. Open pack, closed pack.

cracks = curly brackets. Open crack, closed crack.
Windows is literally the last consumer OS to get on this train. Seems they have learned. From their competitors.
You know the horribly irony is that wagering machines that are 100% skill based are illegal. The only exception, I've seen "The Fishing Game" in a texas bar. It's a 2D game where you shoot fish in a pool table like screen. Bullets cost money, fish death pays out.

This is already a thing; it's called the HSTS preload list.

The sites on it are not set apart visually for the same reasons that browser vendors stopped distinguishing EV certificates.
It is possible that we may never see peak oil because we transition from it and leave it in the ground. I would argue that a peak and reduction caused by regulation, taxation, or replacement via innovation don't count for the original "Peak oil" theroy.

There are 1.65 trillion barrels of proven oil reserves remaining, which is more than humanity has used throughout history, and the known reserves are going up over time, not down. There are another 3 trillion barrels of unconventional oil reserves (e.g. oil sands)
Not the OP, but I think "companies" and "individuals" are very different, and discussions around corporate responsibility and society are different from regulating social behavior between two individuals.
I mean, given the cash-only nature of the business, I'd be very surprised if most arcades weren't laundering money these days too.
Always seemed weird to me that building codes require fire-rated materials for attached garages, but there are not smoke alarms designed to be installed there.

The fundamental premise was not an absence of religion. Most of the founders and certainly all of the original colonists were religious. The premise was no state-endorsed or mandated religion.
In the current state of affairs everyone gets what's best for the average user. Not what's best for each individual users.

Edit: actually, everyone gets what monetizes better, which frequently, but not always, is what works best for the avg user
Technical Leadership: Beyond Problem Solving with Pat Kua
This is a pretty bold stance to take on this specific product. More people want a seamless experience moving from device-to-device than not.

For my part, in an effort to try to understand where the deterioration was coming from, I tried to trace the lineage of the different seemingly pre-packaged outrage nuggets. Trying to see if I could make sense out of the respective roles that things like 8Chan, weird PACs and foundations, Facebook, Twitter, email chains, online news, and television news were playing in ultimately crafting the "junkie" that used to be a person I could talk to about rafting, or skiing, or cars, or whatever. Where every possible topic of conversation would inevitably devolve into looking for any opportunity to inject some sound bite or meme. Anecdotally what I found was that the television media part of it was never the progenitor, it was always the legitimizer. A narrative was always seeded first through other preliminary means (e.g. Facebook or astroturfed email chain), and then eventually that narrative would be confirmed through some corner of television media, and then this acts as a legitimizing function seemingly due to the role that broadcast media used to play in their lives historically.

Eventually I gave up on trying to unpack it any further because it was clear I had no means to do much about it regardless of what I could unearth and understand about how it was happening or if I could get ahead of the curve on some facets of it by avoiding topics that could even incidentally be connected to upcoming "hot buttons".
