>Is saving 2 or 3 minutes a year worth the environmental (and actual monetary!) cost of duplicate cables?

What's the most you'd be willing to pay per minute if you could just add more minutes to your life?
It bears emphasizing that Hacker News will likely be forced to geoblock Canadian users if this legislative draft becomes law. It applies extraterritorially and the absurdly large administrative burden and financial penalties for noncompliance will make serving Canadian users untenable.

There is also enough ambiguity in the proposal to worry about the continuing availability of commercial unfiltered VPNs in Canada, at least in the longer term.
Which ones do that? I've not encountered many myself.
>Healing and forgiveness, on both sides, must occur before reunification.

I have an instinctive reaction to that type of language now - it makes me wonder if one side has dramatically more fault than the other
I wrote a tool to do this many years ago on the Xbox 1 (the original) to avoid having to use loopmounted files, but it's not the kind of thing you want to rely on for a modern filesystem like APFS. There's no way to guarantee that the OS won't mess with your data, move it elsewhere, etc (and if it doesn't today, it might in tomorrow's macOS update). I would never trust this approach enough to recommend it for our users, to be honest.
The moment you use emojis in your article, I am instantly turned off and will stop reading.
I'm not disagreeing with most of that, quite the opposite. What I take issue with is the media being brazenly unfair in select instances, which needlessly gives Q cultists ammunition to help radicalize "normies".

It's something I would take note of every once in a while, but I would have to think and/or research to come up with more than one or two examples offhand. The biggest one that immediately comes to mind is the infamous "very fine people on both sides" quote.

I've watched and read the full context[1]. He's not saying that all people on the neo-Nazi side are good, but that some of them were there only to peacefully protest in support of the legacy of Robert E. Lee. It's like the difference between Archie Bunker (a bigoted goofball, but mostly just an earnest guy struggling to deal with changes in society) and a literal militant Klansman/neo-Nazi.

That sentiment may be distasteful in itself to many people (I personally think Lee is just as undeservingly venerated as Rommel), but it's far less extreme than what he's been presented as having said. I'm not even saying that Trump's statement was necessarily correct; I'm saying that if he misrepresented the facts on the ground, and/or if what he (actually) said was arguably a dog whistle, that's what he should have been criticized for.

I'm a huge fan of Joe Biden these days, and it still leaves a sour taste in my mouth that during the campaign he cited that out-of-context quote as his motivation for running.

No they really couldn't, because someone investigating, monitoring and reverse engineering the device traffic might have noticed, it would be leaked by a whistleblower, there are plenty of ways this could ruin Apple.

Not so now, they are in the clear either way because Apple themselfes cannot look into the hashes databank. So the backdoor is there, the responsibility of the crime of spying is forwarded to different actors, which even cannot be monitored by Apple.

This is truly a devilish device they thought up.
Make misuse possible, exonerate any responsibility to outside actors, act naive as if hands are clean.

Not the OP but I think you've made their point quite well.
Again, you're all using the word "contract" wrong.

More precisely, you are using it in a way that is fundamentally different from how the law uses it, and I believe that doing so is harmful (i.e. this isn't about being a language prescriptivist, it's about confusing people in ways that will likely mess them up.)

In the vending machine hypothetical, the part that people are calling the "smart contract" is the physical workings of the machine itself; it detects the presence of a bill, it takes it, gears turn, and a soda comes out.

There is nothing here about obligations, promises, who is owed what. It's just a machine. And thus should not be called a contract. The contract is the legal obligations that are carried with it.
Even in Unix it's not like everyone is satisfied with small and specialized applications, or Emacs, let alone modern IDEs, would never have been created.
A phone could be designed to handle other voltages. A phone that ran off NiMH AA batteries would actually be quite feasible.

It would be quite a bit thicker than most phones today, but not outrageously so--about as thick as my last pre-iPhone phone (a Palm Treo). We had no trouble carrying such thick phones around back then, and those were the days when we were also carrying our iPods or portable CD players around too.

Here are the battery capacities of various iPhones.

iPhone SE: 6.7 W h

iPhone X: 10.3 W h

iPhone 11: 11.5 W h

iPhone 11 Pro Max: 14.7 W h

Low self-discharge rechargeable AA MiMH batteries are available with capacities of 2.7 W h.

You'd need 3 of them to match an iPhone SE, 4 for an iPhone X, 5 for an 11, and 6 for an 11 Pro Max.

An AA battery is between 14 mm and 15 mm in diameter. That should be an upper limit on how much thicker you would need to make the phone.

Would there be enough people who would like the convenience of using off the shelve rechargeable NiMH AA batteries for such a phone to sell despite 14 mm more thickness?

I have no idea.
Too bad I often have to disable IPv6 because my ISP suddenly decides to stop routing it from time to time.

This is Comcast, so arguing with them doesn't get me anywhere, all I get is "Thanks for expressing your concern." "Rest assured that I will solve all your problems." from the support dude in some random call/chat center.
Hunting is also quite regulated in Texas, particularly in developed areas.

Even shooting target practice is highly regulated and mainly has to be done either on privately-owned land and/or in facilities that you have to pay to utilize. There's really no way to find a place to legally shoot for free any reasonable drive from Houston.
I'll bookmark this.

See you in 10 years, and you'd better hope this comment doesn't turn into the infamous Dropbox comment.
This is what people need to know, when they're joining a start-up as the 10th+ person. You ain't getting shit, and shit takes years to vest. I've been there. I've been flat out lied to. I've seen dozens of people work their asses off for 6 years and come out with less in stock than if they had just gotten a job at a boring company and taken annual bonuses.
We’ve got agency to decide which. And maybe, trillions of years in the future, we discover a way to reverse even entropy.
AIUI if you actually wipe NOR flash entirely, DFU mode won't save you, because the Mac won't even know who it is (MAC addresses, serial number, etc.).

However, I can't claim to have tried it, so there may well be additional safeguards. I'm just not particularly interested in risking it for our users either way :)
Democrats Have Created a Bill to Ban Un-Vaccinated from Flying
"H.R.4980 - To direct the Secretary of Homeland Security to ensure that any individual traveling on a flight that departs from or arrives to an airport inside the United States or a territory of the United States is fully vaccinated against COVID-19, and for other purposes."

Whose going to tell them about a little something called the 5th amendment?
Versioning is marketing. This is just the latest Coke Zero. Anything public facing is marketing. I remember when marketing got ahold of memory and disk size in the 1980s Then it was CPU size. Size matters. As someone once quipped, "If winning dosen't matter then why do they keep score?" Micrsoft can't release annually and Apple iOS can. That's a score. Marketing is about selling the sizzle and not the steak and versions sizzle. Forget trying to make public meaning out of them. Sales can sell bigger is better.
Similar experience.

In India I tagged along with my father when he applied for a physical phone connection when I was in class 8. By the time the application made it through the bureaucratic labyrinthine and all sorts of hurdles I was in class 10.

So now a days when I see someone rant for 2 month wait period for a car I silently laugh. The current generation though is growing up getting conditioned to instant gratification.

Listening to my favourite song for me, while growing up, meant convincing my father to give me money, walking to a cassette store, wading through their catalogue and finally get it. So for me waiting comes naturally. In a way for my generation (and earlier) waiting is second nature. Wait in line for movie tickets, at bank counter, ration stores, just to name a few.
Doom & gloom is a borderline fetish. Look closer and for most things the shortage is an inconvenience at most.

If you look at an actual chart of oil demand, it's not that hard to predict. Predictions good enough for profiting by trading are automatically difficult because of EMH. Predictions good enough for climate forecasting are not automatically difficult because the climate does not trade against you.
When we were there last year, a lot of restaurants were way more expensive to eat in than restaurants in Canada, and the conversion rate was 2 to 1 everywhere, so if you carried U.S. money, you lost more than the actual exchange rate.

Just seeing this now, great response! This basically answers all my questions. The only thing I'm left wondering is if somebody has been cheeky enough to list their mentor as an advisor or some kind of endorsement on their website.

Come to think of it, this could be another source of revenue down the road: After x sessions you can request an endorsement, at the mentor's discretion, which you can then use e.g. for marketing or fundraising purposes. Just an idea, I'm sure there are plenty of opportunities once you really get the ball rolling. Good luck!
Compared to yaml or ini formats, JSON is arguably harder to read and definitely harder to write due to having to keep track of brackets, commas, and/or quotes.

Ideally, a configuration file should be easy to read and write/modify by a user of the application. A lot of applications just stick with ini like formats because it meets both requirements.

Microchip/Atmel just gave me 50 week lead times on really common chips. My products use these common chips, so do a TON of other things. If you can’t buy a tooshbrush or a thermostat in a few months, you might not realize it’s because of chip shortage or containers.

I think things are going to get worse. Our supply chains aren’t resilient, more than they are so large it takes a lot/longer time to see effects.

I think we’re going to hit the peak of the bullwhip soon and it’s going to surprise a lot of people what shutting the world down for almost 2 years will do.

It's hard to remember all the arguments for a passel of command line utils. Discoverablility is much better for a GUI, and only someone who wishes to do something unusual or specialized will chafe against the limitations.
"Defunding the police" is often bandied around and characterized as though the most common position amongst progressives is a full defunding of the police and a society without any law enforcement. Are their progressives that advocate for that? Absolutely! But I don't believe that belief represents the majority (or even really a significant percentage) of progressives.

I consider myself a progressive and I simply believe that we have, over the decades, thrust the management and resolution of societies ills onto law enforcement. At the same time, we haven't also invested in the kind of training for officers that would help them effectively occupy that role. So instead of having them occupying that role while also thrusting billions of dollars to militarize them at the same time, how about we talk a large portion of that money and use it to fund the communities that are struggling? Let's fund mental health counseling and other social programs that can help address some of the root causes of criminal activity instead of pushing all of that money into enforcement, which merely seeks to crush the problem after the fact with overwhelming force instead of addressing the underlying systemic issues.

I personally don't think that is an unreasonable or radical position, and one that I think a large number of American progressives would agree with. I don't think a large number of American progressives would agree with the proposition of entirely refunding law enforcement (and neither do any Democratic senators, as shown by the vote earlier this week).
Depends where you are. We were on the Caribbean side and in Lake Areal - loved it there. Internet was often useless in both places.
When I worked for Facebook, the had a bugtracker bot that closes open issues after 6? months of no activity. It's sort of nice, but also terrible.

I was explaining why people do what they do.
You're describing 6to4, where the existing IPv4 address space becomes 2002:nnnn:nnnn::/48. You can treat the 80 bit suffix as 8 bits when designing a network.

Problem is, stacking the new protocol on top of IPv4 was never very reliable, so 6to4 is mostly dead now. It would've worked a bit better if the Internet had used 2002::/16 exclusively.
That's because the base unit is essentially 1,000 colones, and if you're transacting in US dollars, most people will give you 1000 colones to 2 US dollars (500:1).

If you change your money, then you'll obviously get a better rate.

When I said "holding US dollars," I didn't mean literally holding US dollars. I meant Costa Rica is generally cheaper than the United States for people whose primary income, or wealth is in US dollars.
This.

Even if the works are not economically valuable, people's attention is, as is gatekeeping control over archives (allowing one to set narratives and agendas and control context).

The time I spend going through an archive (I immediately hit the 3-article registration wall at the BLNA, so ... little time) is time I'm not spending consuming the present-moment adverts-laden infotainment stream.
Bugcrowd Awarded U.S. Patents for Crowd-Enabled Vulnerability Detection
Containers are real.

We used to pay $3000 per container.

We are now paying $11,000 per, and can’t get enough of them.
The comment you're replying to agrees with you.
Never thought I’d say this, but this makes me want actual Republicans now in Canada to fight such complete ordure.
The patents in question: https://patents.justia.com/assignee/bugcrowd-inc
It's straightforward. One of their chief mandates is to keep the CPI at a specific level of price inflation (2%). But their chief tool of lowering interest rates doesn't directly affect the CPI, as all the new money goes to the financial industry rather than to consumers. The CPI only goes up after that new money gets divvied up and spent on new ventures, and after asset valuations finally make it into the monthly cost of housing (which only occurs after they've raised the rates for other reasons, as (new) mortgage payments stay the same until then).

Exercising your rights has always had consequences, when your rights involve actions that interfere with the rights of others. The U.S. Supreme Court archives are full of examples and analogies.
If it's really worthless, then what explains the unequal distribution of the equity? Clearly it's valued enough for people to be stingy with it.
I find it really difficult to write a proper eulogy. So difficult in fact that for the several ones I've been involved with, I usually leave it to someone else with a seemingly higher degree of emotional intelligence than myself. I just can't seem to separate how their death makes me feel from the uplifting things that a eulogy is supposed to say. Here I am, still wondering what truly matters in life, and so don't believe I even have the right to summarize the value of someone else's. There's a conventional way these things get presented, but my belief in conventional ways is not strong enough. That's why I prefer to let someone else do it. Truth be told, I'd probably use a service like this the next time I needed to write one.
If you work for a corporation and feel overwhelmed try what the emacs people did, example for email: 1) select everything in your inbox, 2) mark as read, 3) archive. For bugs it would be unassign everything from yourself, or just close them without fixing.

I've done this several times and it's magical how you end up losing almost nothing important in the end. I think it works because if something is important enough you'll either remember it yourself or it will be communicated to you again, perhaps even via a "higher priority channel" such as the management chain.

And if you think I'm being extreme then yes, maybe, but maybe you haven't yet drowned in the never ending stream of problems for a long time.
Exactly. Many schools around the world have masked for over a year. If masks caused developmental delays in children we would have seen it by now. But we haven’t. Literally not a single report of it.
Silly question (especially for this forum): how would ipv6 be useful for websites served via Github Pages?
> TDD might just achieve this by a fluke

I am confused by this comment and the overall sentiment in the video.

Short dev cycles isn't an accidental byproduct - it's literally one of the key parts of tdd.

The first google result for tdd has this:

> Test-driven development (TDD) is a software development process that relies on the repetition of a very short development cycle: first the developer writes an (initially failing) automated test case that defines a desired improvement or new function, then produces the minimum amount of code to pass that test, and finally refactors the new code to acceptable standards.
The affected users didn't bother to check if the issue was solved for five years. I think it is fine to close it
As described, the crux of this work seems to be learning how to interface with Apple’s proprietary hardware. If Rust enthusiasts want to go back later and reimplement, they’ll have a working open source reference implementation.
It's sad that they even wanted to do an exact port.

Also sad that some fundamental design errors were repeated in OS X, with the worst being the single menu bar that's glued to the top of the screen and has to be shared by all applications. That's understandable in GUI 1.0; but after every other GUI went with menus on applications' main frames, it became clear that their design was superior.

Another ridiculous Mac UI problem was not being able to resize windows from their edges (or even 3/4 of their corners). WTF? At least Apple FINALLY fixed that, albeit grudgingly and 30 years later.
lol - you gotta get over that. Would you feel like you’re wasting time in your job if he was broke or the startup was struggling? Probably not.

As time goes on, this happens more. I have friends who are like this and I have no jealousy or envy towards them. Sure, it’d be great if I had all that money - but what good does that feeling do? Unless you can turn this feeling into actionable steps that improve your wellbeing - stop thinking about it. It’s completely worthless otherwise. Comparison is the thief of joy.
