Hard to read beyond the subtitle "Both coffee and opium come from plants. Why embrace one and not the other?" with a straight face.

LOL. I mean, small difference but I don't think anyone has ever prostituted themselves or sold their mothers jewelry & TV to buy some espresso, but hard to say!

I mean we have had billions of dollars of settlements off the opioid epidemic and the resulting thousands of "deaths of despair" right?
This feels like a good summary of the Bay Area to me.

Worst of all, valuable conservative language in progressive discussion is baulked without thought.
I can't think of a key derivation function which would reliably make, say, a 6 digit PIN tough to crack while also not painfully impacting user experience waiting for the machine to unlock at boot. For a 6 digit PIN it's only 10 million iterations to exhaust all possible options, and the attacker gets to parallelize their guesses if they're willing to throw hardware or cloud resources at it.
What would those employees do there? They cant just start working on New World of Warcraft, its protected by copywrite. Companies get an idea and then scale as the idea is built out. They would need to come up with an idea but they would just hemorrhage money for years while it was built out. Small groups may break off and start working on something but it would be the seed of the idea and they would scale as they needed too.
I clicked on the article thinking “Let’s see who this Preston guy is and how he’s holding Science Fiction back…”.
> That’s still aligned with my point. Either you pay rent for an additional separate office (lots of money), or you reduce your existing living space to make room for work stuff.

Yes, but the reduction for a desk is only if you don't have another usable surface, and even then it's only a tenth of "lots of money" because a desk is so much smaller than a room.

A tenth of lots of money is not all that much, and very likely cheaper than commuting.
"Reports of death after COVID-19 vaccination are rare. More than 342 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines were administered in the United States from December 14, 2020, through July 26, 2021. During this time, VAERS received 6,340 reports of death (0.0019%) among people who received a COVID-19 vaccine."

Not GP, but associations of ‘undesirables’ with disease is widely recognized as part of the dehumanization process that leads to genocide.

When dealing with vaccine hesitancy(or any disagreement) it’s important to remember the humanity of others.
I’m not sure why you’re downvoted, this is an accurate depiction. The vaccine does not prevent infection/transmission, despite lay people commonly believing it does.
Correct - and lead oxide is not tetra ethyl lead, or the nasty lead salts. It isn’t great, but it is also not that much worse than elemental lead from a mobility or toxicity perspective.

And I noted the exact hazard for breathing dusts and vapors, so thanks for repeating it?

It’s also a bit disingenuous to use someone LITERALLY BURNING AND VAPORIZING MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF LEAD, at a huge and industrial scale for a very long time time, as a safety comparison. Of course that is going to make a giant mess. Whoever let them build houses there without it being remediated should be in jail.

It doesn’t change the fact that you essentially have to play every day in a literal superfund site with probably 1000x or more the worrisome levels before it really becomes a serious problem?

Lead isn’t a thing you want to eat or play in. It will mess you up. But let’s not pretend that a little piston plane is going to poison LA in any measurable way because it is flying over it while burning leaded gas.

And thanks for the lead paint chips not being sweet! I personally never tried, so good to know it’s not true
Thanks! I read good things about Organic Maps, I'll try it out.
Some data on their traffic from some SEO tools I pay for:

Ahrefs: 230k organic traffic valued at $124k
SEMRush: 558k organic traffic valued at $355k

These are estimates and can be widely under or overestimated but they show that this is happening on a very large scale.

For a quick idea on how this is possible I looked at their top pages (according to Ahrefs). Their top page is ranking #2 for the keyword "interia" which has 207k searches per month in Norway and is rated as 0 (out of 100) for being easy to rank for. Usually when a keyword has that amount of searches it would be incredibly hard to rank for, I've never seen anything like this. So what is happening here looks like they are just taking advantage of a market with really low competition keywords.
I sincerely question this. Please provide references, as I’m seeing single digit numbers of documented cases for both DIC and Transverse Myelitis caused by the vaccine.

I in no way think those numbers are complete, but given the number of doses given and the astonishing rarity of those very specific issues, I have to question your comment.

I’m in an extraordinarily healthy population (military) and I know of no one that has had any reactions at all, as a counterpoint. Given the political leanings of my peer group, I’m positive I would have heard about it.
Thank you for mentioning Aegis, a few other folks have recommended it as well. Looks promising!
Toward that end, I wonder if this announcement and the new VPC IP prefix list announcement are related: https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2021/07/amazon-vi...
Back that up with some evidence. I doubt you’re even a physician.
>Yes, most things sadly are designed for Windows now, because it's a monopoly. Not a fault of Linux, but it does make it less attractive.

Yes all hardware is designed for either windows or windows and linux, never both and linux is always an after thought. That is why windows is superior from a usability standpoint.

Yes, it's not the fault of linux. But in the end that's not really what matters.
I just saw the Kotaku article about Blizzard devs having their own ‘Cosby Suite’:

You know, I’m not condoning or excusing anyone, but it might be time to stop drinking together as coworkers. You cannot come up with this kinda shit if your sober.

Keep the beer out the office, keep the parties an hour long at most. We can’t handle it, it’s obvious.
When learning Calc, I always appreciated anyone who could teach the main points without slipping into formal textbook descriptions and terminology. The more advanced one gets in Math, (eg, your teacher or professor with an advanced Math degree), the more they tend to do it, even of they try not to.

I like this text - reminds me of "the complete idiot's guide to calculus" which I used as a companion to my Calc textbook (Stewart) when learning. Not sure I would have faired as well without it.

https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Idiots-Guide-Calculus/dp/002...

It gives a great and sometimes humorous understanding, which formed a nice framework when I moved on to Vector Calc, Differential Equations, etc later on. At that point in your math career, you can't (or shouldn't try to) rely on mindless algorithms/processes to solve problems like you may have in high school. You've got to understand what you're doing.

Ps, I doubt many on HN really needed to hear that, but it may be a useful note for somebody.
Exactly, that is an overall death rate, which IIRC is lower than the death rate among the unvaccinated population! It shows the opposite of what you think it does.
Blizzard was already creatively going downhill before Activision bought them, but they could have recovered. Joining with Activision was the death of Blizzard.
Just think of all those people putting off ever migrating off EC2-Classic that now have to reboot databases that nobody knows or remembers how they were configured. The time has come. Good luck.
I have never done a drug test but had to disclose very invasive information for security clearances in the past. But in those cases I made a voluntary choice to work in a particularly interesting area.

I also have both my vaccine shots and got them as soon as I possibly could.

What I worry about is the idea of being compelled to do it, and of being compelled like you say to provide sensitive information for employment. It's better to push against something that you agree with the goal but are uncomfortable with the methods than wait until you have to fight against something you disagree with entirely. I would have to think very hard before taking a job where I had to prove to anyone I was vaccinated.

My view is that focusing on increasing voluntary vaccinations to the point that it doesnt matter is the answer. Giving up to authoritarianism just this once is not a useful precedent to set.
Current research shows that the previously infected’s antibodies are equal-to or better than the vaccine. So previously infected should be sufficient, yet I expect these companies not to care about that
So idk how deep you want to go into “basic” common sense economics and not this trashy thing they call it now, but the divide between fiscal/monetary is by name only. Let me explain:

There used to be the real divide between both, but now every action by the fiscal side is effectively done by the monetary side. Congress writes some laws, the treasury calls up the FED the night before the day of selling new bonds and just like magic, the bonds get sold at a superb price.

The fed is very much aware of the inflation, but is on the awkward position that were they to raise the rates even a tiny bit, it would bankrupt the federal government. Going from 0-1% to 4-5% interest rates, would lead to default as just the interest on the money owed is at $hundreds-billions yearly. Now double or tripe that cost…

So what’s the FED to do?

Why are living expenses going up faster than real wages?

Why do you think theres a godly group of supremely moral and righteous humans sitting at the FED?
What I am seeing is managers, corporate side, HR and finance side people love cameras on. They are mostly dressed up and in their houses with cameras on. IT, Development, Engineering are cameras off. I prefer cameras off. On the one hand I could see it being kind of isolating and you aren't building those social connection, on the other, is that the place of work?
Here is data for Canada.

"Up to and including July 16, 2021, a total of 152 deaths were reported after the administration of a vaccine."

I don't think they are. I think at most companies most people are replaceable. Each company has a few key players that are truly cornerstone employees. Almost everyone else can be swapped out as needed. Not saying losing a key Sr. wont cause a set back but with the right hire (and they are not that scarce) they are back on track in a bit. Most of us think we are super valuable and that a company will suffer when we leave but reality is that it rarely happens; there are of course exceptions. Blizzard already the has the IP, everything else is just cogs.
This is because the moderators will often ban all disagreeing members. I’m not talking about trolls, but genuine and good faith discussion.

Saying something like you don’t agree that investment properties should be illegal is enough to get you banned in many parts of reddit.
First off, “NIMBY” is just an offensive pejorative that fails to recognize in good faith that many people like their existing lifestyle, community, and neighborhood character. People buy houses in certain locations or remain in certain locations seeking these qualities. There’s nothing wrong with that and incumbent residents shouldn’t be under any obligation to alter their governance and give up their lifestyle to accommodate new residents that feel entitled to live in a highly desirable location at low cost.

Secondly, the accusation that people in cities today are actively seeking to racially discriminate using policy is without evidence. This is just a stretch that attempts to recast valid personal lifestyle preferences into some kind of oppressor-victim class warfare narrative, thereby painting those with differing opinions as something far worse. It’s simply not a civil perspective to hold.
Busy folks! Find time to fit in your leisurely reading
I don't think an article on the side of the front page of a foreign newspaper remotely compares to what the NYT center front page or NBC Nightly News spotlights would mean.
Reverse psychology. I know lots of people who say something along the lines of, “if it worked they wouldn’t need to pay me to get it”

People are weird that way and will allow confirmation bias to push them even more out of whack
No need to apologize, it's precisely this double speak that Preston (and Peskin) use to advance their own political agendas at the expense of vulnerable communities here in SF. There is also a component of semi legally siphoning off public money to hand over to private developers from which said government officials take a rake, but let's ignore this portion (If you're curious though, you can read more here: https://www.sfchronicle.com/projects/2020/sf-city-hall-corru...).

First, in San Francisco, to qualify for "affordable housing", you have to make under the poverty line in San Francisco. That means under 110k for a family of 4. If a builder were to want to build affordable housing to help these populations, it is not financially feasible without the government paying for it b/c one would have to sell or rent this newly built housing at significantly below what they paid for it.

So then enter rich white elitists like Preston and Peskin (with ties to the real estate lobby / land owners themselves) who want to enrich themselves by increasing the value of their own land. What do they do? They block all new housing development in San Francisco so the supply is permanently depressed and gate it on building "affordable housing". They package that up as a news story in helping vulnerable communities by making a few affordable homes but in in reality, housing gets more expensive and unaffordable for everyone.

Just so a few richly compensated officials can enrich themselves even more, at the expense of the poorest residents.
Coinbase agrees with you. Cost them a few bucks to offload anyone that was not truly committed to their cause and only their cause.
It's not only unreasonable, it's outright idiotic.

> They are limited to regulating the amount of power used while desktop systems are at idle, not while "in use".

So what?

If my PC is always "in use" (say, I use it as client and server - run my personal blog and other services on it), why should I not be able to buy and use it?

Even if that weren't the case, it's none of government's business how I use electric energy.

If a crappy power-saving PC works 15% slower and prices me out of video services market, who's going to compensate me for missed income? Taxpayers?
Lol. Don’t you think it’s very linear and simple variable thinking with that comment?

The car salesman won’t see the higher prices? The guy down the street won’t see the higher prices and ask for higher wages to afford the price increases?
What's conservative about corruption and kleptocracy?

One of the ways politicians like Preston cement their power is by convincing their constituents that the 'other team' are literal demons.

I can disagree with someone's politics but still be confident that they can govern reasonably. Just because you clothe yourself in the memes you think I like doesn't win my vote.
Maybe they moved to the Amiga 2000?

Not only does the Amiga 2000 include five Zorro II card slots, the motherboard also has four PC ISA slots, two of which are inline with Zorro II slots for use with the A2088 bridgeboard, which adds IBM PC XT compatibility to the A2000.
I assume there was a bet involved.
Affordable housing: control prices on a subset of the housing stock, and leave the rest to the market.

Market rate housing: let developers build housing if it's profitable for them to do so.

The former results in some members of a favoured class getting cheap access to housing, whilst preserving/increasing the value of the remaining 'market rate' housing.

The latter seeks to allocate housing based on willingness to pay, whilst increasing the housing stock to stop/reverse the trend of price increases.

The way people use the word 'affordable' wrt to housing makes it sound like it's an intrinsic property of the houses. When it actually refers to a non-market allocation mechanism. 'Affordable housing' sounds better than 'price caps allocated to a lucky subset of the folks we deem deserving'.
The problem is when people block the development of ANY new housing on the basis that it's "not affordable housing".

Adding market rate housing is better than adding no housing at all.
> All that masking and distance learning actually worked!

Across US states, there is no correlation, let alone causation, between stringency of masks/social distancing/lockdown and outcome.
If you must think of it as a lottery, there are millions of bats, and millions of people in this draw. The probability isn't so remote.
American Left went from solidarity, going against the corporates, and better salaries and conditions to supporting whatever the latest hot political stand is.
Video games are one part idea and three parts implementation.

And the talent at Blizzard has no lack of good ideas.
To be more explicit- first they object to housing unless it is fifteen percent affordable housing. When they get that, it goes to 25 percent. Then to 50. Whatever number is needed to get the project cancelled.
Libertarians acknowledge the need for regulations. The importance is that they are stable and apply to everyone equally. Labels for food that list ingredients is great because it has been fair and stable as an example.
> Motivation is the most valuable resource in programming

I've never seen it phrased like this before, but I like it and there's truth to it.
Here in Japan, IPv6 is actually "fast" because of the network architecture.

Flets is most popular FTTH service that available nationwide by telco. Traditionally it only provides IPv4 service via PPPoE, but the architecture is inefficient and getting old so they started IPv6 service directly on Ethernet (called IPoE, a bit funny). VoIP Telephony service is also provided by IPv6 so the network called NGN.

Now the traditional PPPoE service is getting very slow due to they won't invest very well for old architecture equipment. Instead, they advice to use IPv6 IPoE for faster connection. For IPv4 connectivity, ISPs offer v4 over v6 solution like DS-Lite, MAP-E, and 464XLAT for home (shared v4 address) or IPIP for dedicated v4 address.

Many people use both IPv6 IPoE (fast) and IPv4 PPPoE (slow) because their router don't support v4 over v6, or just prefer dedicated IP for lower costs (like me), so it's important for service operator to enable IPv6 connectivity, to provide faster service. Please support IPv6!
Should have stuck with the second paragraph.

The connection between redlining and NIMBYism is somewhere between dubious and risible. But "give up their lifestyle to accommodate new residents" and "not in my backyard"? Same thing. You can howl offense all you want; the shoe fits.
If Potoooooooo's is Pot-eight-ohs, wouldn't Potoo be Pot-two-ohs?

Nowhere near entirely. Not to mention diminished brain health issues, quality of life decreases due to loss of smell, fatigue, long covid etc.

I would think that the alternative that is "in the moment" is social interaction or working on a project.
"so the capitalists have no where to run"
Who is going to finance the companies and workers that build those games then? These games cost hundreds of millions of dollars to build, who is going to front the money if they don't expect a significant return. That is capitalism in a nutshell.
Do tell. What was I thinking?
I was vaguely flippant in my post and it lacked nuance. Actually this project [and my workplace in general] is very friendly and collegial, he was happy to do it, he even already knew where to look since I had done the bisect and otherwise triaged the rest of the issue. We collaborated on an even larger-scale refactoring earlier this year.

Mainly my point was the first paragraph; that bisect is awesome right up until the issue is in a ten thousand line commit.
Not really, because it's the Guardian, but in a better newspaper, sure

How to Develop an App: A Step-by-Step Guide for Beginners
The ones thing I want more than anything from google or DuckDuckGo or anyone really is the ability to give a list of domains and never have their results show up in my searches. I know I can do this on a per search basis but I want it to be a configurable setting.
> Without the downvotes, the top post is often misinformation or just trash. Because a small, motivated group pushes it up

Nonsense.

A small group has a small impact, so as soon as there is more than 1 post, a bigger group will quickly “win”.
> We don't know about long term effects, those are, y'know, long term and hard to study in this kind of timeframe. Which is why the linked article is notable.

This is priceless, as, for the same reasons, we do not know the long term effects of any of the vaccines either.
I think it just causes the type loophole_t<std::string, 0> to be defined (and thus the loophole friend function).
I did say “almost”; one of the requirements is that you have to set an actually secure password; i.e. not a 6 digit PIN.
The vaccine isn't expected to prevent all-cause mortality, though.

People will die no matter whether they're vaccinated or not, the question is a) will they die because of covid and b) will they die because of the vaccine. Your statistics do not even approach this question.
The gist is that is significantly harder to build “affordable” housing (where prices are kept artificially low).

So if you mandate only affordable housing, then you help a few people, but restrict the overall housing market, which makes rent prices go up for most people.

(To be clear, affordable housing isn’t bad; but restricting the supply of housing by building 100 affordable units instead 80,000 market rate ones is)
> Bash cleans up extra spaces when writing to stdout unless you use variable quoting.

Not really:

echo $result

Will evaluate to:

echo node-0 Ready <none> 3d v1.11.1

Which is the following argv array in C:

const char *argv = { "echo", "node-0", "Ready", "<none>", "3d", "v1.11.1" };

Then `echo` is a builtin command that prints argv[1:] separated by spaces.

Then:

echo "$result"

Evaluates to:

echo "node-0 Ready <none> 3d v1.11.1"

Which is the following argv array in C:

const char *argv = { "echo", "node-0 Ready <none> 3d v1.11.1" };

The spaces get cleaned up when parsing the command line, not when writing to stdout.
As the saying goes, the best time to plant a tree was 10 years ago, the next best time is today. Maybe it is tough to get trusted by the major providers in a short time period today, but if it’s something you’re interested in, don’t let that stop you!
The lords of finance have historically been the enemies of the working man. All their money comes from our pockets and the people's printing press. We can run things ourselves.

I think you have a valid point here, but we are really trying to be a B2B company because the problems around staffing for other health care organizations are real and they are willing to pay a lot for a more flexible and lower risk solution. What you are describing is B2C and, quite frankly, lower volume. There are other companies that are doing a great job delivering that kind of care, and they are our customers.
