Transportation, in 2019, was the leading source of emissions, with industry ranked third, behind electricity.

I agree, there is a ton of local demand and not enough building of medium density stuff people actually want. I was just saying that people don't want wealthy migrants buying homes, regardless if they are the true driver of the prices skyrocketing. Maybe wasn't the best example.
I wonder if there is anything we can do to affect those who do have a choice. I know a lot of people who drive and are perfectly able to take public transport or live closer but they chose to live a far way away and drive because they can afford it.
I think the “they” is different when looking at different aspects of the problem.
The last paragraph hits the nail on the head, it's impossible to prevent developers from elevating privileges unless one spends much more time and effort than almost any business is willing to on creating a true zero trust internal environment.

Developers have little RCEs throughout the entire system, it's how they do their jobs. If even system with millions of dollars worth of design and security reviews regularly get hacked by people with no internal access to it or its source code, how can you hope to stop someone who already has a foothold and can see into the system, including a bunch of its config files?

The real answer is not to stop developers from doing so. That's a never ending uphill battle. You implement very good logging and RBAC systems instead. Now everybody could hack the system if they wished to, but they would be sued into oblivion if they tried to do it for nefarious reasons.

IMO the main purpose of RBAC is not really to stop developers from doing malicious activity, but to stop the stupid ones from breaking the system. The smart ones will be able to get around whatever safeguards you put in, as some of them will undoubtedly be designed by those not so fortunate or experienced. Not every developer has a good understanding of infosec and its many, _many_ ways of circumventing what seems to be an impossible defence. Unless you know all the tricks in the book already, whatever you write is most definitely gonna be swiss cheese.
> Yes, but it’s clear Plantier had zero interest in using this money to make productive investments.

"productive investments" - what does that even mean? When a business has cash on hand it needs to decide what it is going to do with it to produce the greatest return possible. It doesn't matter whether you put it in an appreciating asset (gold bar potentilla) or an employee salary, businesses are just looking to get the highest return on the cash they have left from operations.

There seems to be a conflation between non-cooperative behavior like aggression, and inequality. These two are not the same thing. Inequality can exist and increase in cooperative settings.

It's just that the inequality will not be zero sum in such settings, meaning the poor will see improvements in standard of living even as the rich see even greater improvements. That's the Pareto efficiency that experiments in game theory show that a free market produces.

Pandemic restrictions are pretty much nonexistent in large swaths of the US that have similar problems.

There is certainly a worker deficit. Our society has moved up the stack and isn't bringing in enough cheap immigrant labor anymore to work the jobs even poor americans won't accept anymore.
> Modern jobs are quite comfortable and flexible relative to what was expected a few decades ago. Companies today bend over backwards to retain employees.

Some modern jobs.

On the other end of the spectrum you have Amazon drivers pissing in bottles--something that a steel mill laborer would never have had to do.
In a free market of rational economic actors, no externalities, no liquidity limitations, and an unlimited time horizon this is probably true.

The North American urban real estate market is increasingly dominated by a dwindling number of economic actors who collectively act to restrict housing supply. This is not a system where the free market is functional or would necessarily produce the best results.

> This hints at a very crude way to determine the desktop environment!

That is a good discovery.

It's probably one of the better ways to detect the running desktop environment as the user might have multiple environments installed and just uses one of them currently, as such looking for installed things doesn't work reliable.

And looking for env variables can be unreliable.

And scanning the dbug might not be that use-full either.

But I'm not sure what they use that for. (Notification daemon selection? But that wouldn't be that reliable either, theaming? I dubt it.)

But I guess even if it's just for telemetry it would be a reasonable thing to do.
And I didn't say C is a functional, array language either, so we're agreed on that. I'm lost about what your objection is at this point, so I'm happy to drop this.
I showed this to a friend who works at one of the big chip design companies. He thought it was cool, but pointed out some limitations of the current setup.

1. He's going to need multiple device types. My friend discussed the requirements for various logic families (cMOS, nMOS, DTL, and RTL). RTL would probably be the easiest.

2. He needs interconnect.

He said that process-wise, this is about where the industry was in the mid-70s, and that fab lines weren't super expensive then, in the 10s to low 100s of k range. With used equipment and improved technology it would cost less to run a similar process, so what the guy is doing is pretty cool and he's got room to grow.

So...the guy is still a long way from a 4004, but he could maybe get there.
Replicache's creator Aaron has a pretty good Twitter thread explaining the difference among Replicache, WebSocket and (classic) CRDTs. I will summarize briefly here:

- WebSocket (and Phoenix Channel) is just a communication method. To maintain consistency and resolve conflict, you need something like Replicache.

- CRDTs are more suitable for p2p scenario while Replicache works better for client-server apps.

- Phoenix's Presence is built with CRDT but it's just a single feature, not a general CRDT toolkit.

This is a fantasy and completely regressive. How do you plan on dealing with the ensuing riots? Housing supply doesn't appear overnight, especially in the US where building, worker safety and environmental standards slow the process down to a crawl. Most of the new urban housing is 4 story wood construction because of the above reason, not nearly the density needed to eliminate cars without massive mixed rezoning efforts that are politically unfeasible or massive mass transit infrastructure investments that would also suffer the same issues as higher density housing developments listed above, also throw into the mix that there is a cultural aversion to mass transit in the US that won't likely get resolved in time to fight climate change effectively.

You will be displacing 10s if not 100s of millions of people with such a policy, you need a place for them to go if you don't want severe civil unrest.
I think your last point makes your true beliefs clear. You believe it's better for the poor to have a forced savings account (or as I call it a loan to the employer) so that they can't "make bad financial decisions". It's extremely paternalistic to believe the poor shouldn't have immediate access to all of the money they've earned or at least a choice of when to do so.

Of course there should be legal limits as to what interest rate can be charged. I don't believe anything more than 10% on an annualized basis can be justified.

In any case, the vast majority of your points in this discussion are irrelevant and the most potent point you make seems to depend on either interest rates not be fair or the poor being too irresponsible to get their deserved cash.
It works better for the "poor" people if these taxes/incomes go towards immediate public transit. And work closer to homes (it raises the visible costs of restrictive zoning).

The cost of owning, operating, and insuring a vehicle is a pretty high tax.

Funny thing about public transit too, if you build transit to businesses in walkable communities you don't just help the poor.
Does that just mean landlords aren’t putting houses on Zillow? Unless you are suggesting there are literally no houses for rent in your city?

The idea is that "Made in Africa" clothes costs less locally in Africa than clothes made in Asia and shipped to Africa. Giving out free clothes in Africa puts "Made in Africa" out of that business.

What costs less for you in America may not be the same as what costs less in Africa, because of transport costs.
I haven't, but I've done a fair amount of reading about it and that is the kind of thing I'm talking about.
The difference is that in Australia literally zero retail businesses will ever accept a cheque under any circumstance and all government payments are made using electronic transfers. I haven't been issued a cheque book from my bank in over decade and I've maybe cashed 3 in my 30+ years alive.

I actually can't think of a single place outside of a bank where you can use a cheque and even then it's a challenge to actually exchange it for cash. Most banks in Australia have trouble coming up with $10,000 - even busy branches in the CBD of a major city.

Now, granted I haven't been to America, but I do read things on the internet. From what I understand, your financial system is held together by a system of pneumatic tubes passing cheques around, though I hear there is some experiment with telegram machines.
Yes there are reasons besides conflicts with US law and they not having German Servers which makes it completely GDPR in-compliant and de-facto legal unusable in the EU.

The link above spells it out. 58% of transportation emissions were from "light duty vehicles", and 24% were from trucks.
Even 10 or 11 years ago you could find a studio apartment in LA for 600 to 700$.

It wasn't perfect( mine didn't have a kitchen, I learned how to cook pasta via a rice cooker), but considering it gave me a much needed escape from the insanity of my family, might as well of been a mansion.

I was making 10$ an hour back then, at 40 hours a week I'd take home maybe 1300 a month.

Rent was very doable.
Now the same apartment is 1100$, minimum wage is 15$ but it's harder to get a 40 hour work week. I strongly believe you should be able to at least move out at 18, 19, etc. The best way to deal with a toxic family is dealing with them less.

But that's largely impossible now.

I feel the same for Futura, which apparently was created in 1927. The longevity is just crazy. “Hip” brands and designers still use it today just like Helvetica. And I can easily see these fonts still being used in the far future. I wonder if there are any other sans serif typefaces like these.

Some key points, for those who can't get past the paywall:
This article discusses how Biden was warned by his top military generals and US intelligence of the risks of a complete withdrawal, and was asked by some to maintain a small presence of US troops to maintain stability and allow diplomacy to continue. With the exit turning into a foreign policy disaster, many including officials of former administration, are criticizing Biden by noting that this was predictable and that not planning for it was a mistake. However, Biden was staunchly committed to pulling troops out of Afghanistan, a position he has held for a long time, dating back to his vice presidency. Some current and former administration officials have noted that Biden felt the Afghanistan government was corrupt and had squandered billions in aid, and that Biden preferred to reorient America towards more pressing international matters, including competition with China, and domestic issues including infrastructure and battling Covid.
Garbage nonsense from a known partisan hack. Flagged.
>>The "leveling" the article speaks about has been tried: it's strong government on social-democratic principles. It works. And it gets abandoned as soon as general wealth has risen enough.

But that money just ends up as pension benefits for unionized public sector workers, a significant fraction of whom are now in the top 10% of income earners.

Rust uses basically the same optimizer passes as Clang.

Borrow checking is more like a type checking pass, not an optimization pass- it's pass/fail, and doesn't change the IR.

Probably the most interesting thing to look at here is Rust's use of LLVM noalias metadata. This captures the assumption that, while a reference (of type &T or &mut T) is live, the value it points to is not allowed to change via any other name. (The borrow checker ensures this assumption is valid for safe code, but the rule applies to unsafe code too- the important thing is the reference types.)

This metadata enables LLVM to perform more aggressive optimizations of pointer reads and writes. C can actually generate similar metadata via `restrict`, but this is less common because there's no borrow checker to verify that it's used correctly. And interestingly, LLVM has been very buggy in this area! Rust has had to disable its use of noalias metadata several times as those bugs have been found and fixed.
I have a bit of an algorithmic use-case to check for domain availability. If possible to share, which are the reliable API options to check for domains?
If the two year old in question knows their alphabet, upper & lower case, knows most of the sounds the letters make, and can sound out unfamiliar words and sight read the rest, I don't really see what's controversial about calling that "reading". It's not a stupid toddler trick or a mark of genius, either.

If we're going to add comprehension requirements on top of that, then what passes as reading is pretty abysmal even for some adults.
As long as the housing stock is what it is, most people need to drive in order to live.

We can and should transition towards walkable and transit-connected apartments, but the problem there isn't a lack of demand.
Crazily enough, the median household income in New York City isn’t significantly different than the national average. In 2017 it was about 1k lower than the nation, and in 2018 it was 2k higher. The mean income in NYC is of course a fair bit higher than the national average, but in general that higher minimum wage doesn’t mean that people in NYC make much more than anyone else in the US, despite the significant cost of living there.
You may not be able to fix it but you may be able to mitigate the damage by getting the word out that "There are no photos of me anywhere online. When Google shows you a photo that is supposedly me, they are straight up lying to you."

One way to mitigate inaccurate stuff being online about you is to try to get more accurate info ranked as the top search. This HN post may help but you might also need to do an SEO blog post or something.

Spanish native here. I would never read it like that.

I have programmed in a couple languages where every single keyword was in Spanish: Logo and some flavours of Visual Basic.

Either everything is in English, or everything is in Spanish. There's no middle ground with mixed keywords.

Ahh the VB vs Delphi War..... That brings back memories.

I agree that Lazarus looks more mature, however shifting to a pure C backend would actually allow them to be more portable as I believe Lazarus uses FPC which can use a LLVM backend. While LLVM supports most modern platforms, there are lots of less popular architectures that lack LLVM support.

Personally I never liked using any basic derived language for "Real work", but not sure if that was because I was a Delphi guy.
Not a "commitment." They need to actually exist, at something like 10,000x the scale they currently have.

>Most transit in North America sucks inside cities and doesn't serve outlying areas very well at all.

I've done transit in most of the major cities in Canada to/from work & school, or airports, and most are pretty decent.

I don't know that transit should really serve outlying areas?

> I disagree completely. If we were satisfied with a lower standard of living, one parent could stay home to take care of the kids. Keynes predicted 15 hour work weeks but he missed that we would increase our standard of living faster than the productivity gains.

Is that productivity really needed/used for standard of living gains? Or do you need two incomes now because of a combination of capital taking bigger cut and dual-incomes bidding up the price of things.

Also you have the phenomenon of companies trying to increase sales by reducing the service life of their products, which just increases churn without increasing living standards.
In the story you link the system discharged sewage into the ocean because it was overwhelmed with a unexpectedly large amount of debris that prevented 6% of the daily flow from being processed. In this case, it seems like the alternative was having the sewage overflow onto the land, which is a bit less desirable.

As is so often the case for reasons I have yet to fathom, people appear to be reading between the lines of my original comment. I never said _I_ dislike the address bar at the bottom. I'm not a beta tester, I haven't used it, so I indifferent about the utility of it at this stage.

I'm only saying that obviously Apple is getting a lot of negative feedback on this or they wouldn't be changing it so much in the beta program. I'm saying that maybe now isn't the right time for such a change because if they're getting that kind of feedback from beta testers then they're going to be getting even more from the general public when they deploy it.

That said; I also agree that a toggle is a good compromise and maybe it's a way of easing people into a new UI paradigm.
I don't know if that's fair. It could be said that you are advocating for putting people in Africa out of work, messing with local economies, and people's livelihoods.

By your own link all light duty vehicles make up a mere 17% of emissions.

Also if you track down the original report that pie chart is drawn from, you’ll find that is only considering direct fossil fuel combustion. Consider all sources and it drops down to 12%.

ALL consumer cars everywhere, for every purpose, amounts to 12% of emissions. Commuting is a smaller fraction of that. I stand by my claim.
