Sure there are always exceptions, and it may have been just some unfortunate phrasing, all I know is that the phrasing explicitly didn't specify that the river being unswimmable was at all an exception.

It's like if you asked a lifeguard if it was safe to swim and they replied "Many people survive".

Watched it. Thanks for sharing.

I just disagree that publicly owned means what it's supposed to mean. The public cannot own anything as it is not an individual. Someone else has to manage what is collectively owned, and these individuals that represent the public, effectively become the rich people that so many say are the problem with capitalism. In other words, while I agree that monopolizing land and resources is a problem, making these resources public is actually exacerbating the problem because it further concentrates the power and wealth into the hands of even fewer number of individuals. It goes from a thousands of rich people owning things, to the government "publicly owning" it, except we're in fact talking about a handful of politicians controlling all of that wealth.

Europe takes this approach much more than America, where government is not trusted, but I think history is very clear as to which place has had the most problems with government abuse of power. Europe was a mess in the 20th century, while America grew to a super power, and I firmly believe this is because of the distrust in government.

Again I don't know what is the best solution to fix a handful of rich people owning the majority of wealth, but it is definitely not further concentrating that wealth into an even smaller number of individuals that are notorious for lying and manipulating the public (politicians). Trusting politicians is incredibly naive, and at the moment it seems the best solutions involve voting for those people that can prove they will use the power to SHRINK government, such that wealth returns back to the rest of population (but not via public ownership which is really politicians playing the role of the rich people).

How stream audio processing almost cancelled my live show
Yea pretty lame question.. given 1 wire, a battery, a bulb that has 2 terminals but both are not totally obvious—and likely designed to run substantially higher voltages thru it, and testing the bulb outside (so if the bulb lights up very slightly you might not see it) with no table or anything to set things down on feels more like a trick question than a legitimate test. A more direct question should have been, here is a lightbulb, does it have a positive and negative terminal? Ok if it does have a positive and negative terminals where are they? Does it likely matter for this type of bulb which terminal is positive or negative? If somebody answers all of that then now try connecting the bulb to a battery, but if they are not familiar with this type of bulb likely they will be a bit confused..
This may be slightly off-topic, but it seems to me that sometimes, YAGNI is a judgement made by someone who doesn’t have the same <insert adjective here> grasp of the problem as you do.

Most recent case in point: a good friend recently became a work colleague and peer and we work extraordinarily well together, better than any previous working relationship of mine. In addition to the maturity and battle scars that come from ~25 and ~30 years of industry experience, and very different experience, I’d say the biggest reason for this is our very complementary work styles: he is a mix of top-down and bottom-up, write some code knowing it will be replaced later, while I am a come from the side and try to get the whole thing in my head and code incrementally across the whole stack person. (He recently called me lazy, which we both knew was a compliment, but future lazy, in that I will spend more time know to avoid a rewrite later.) We both know the value and cost of technical debt, and are willing to make it good enough for now when needed, leaving comments that link to issues for later, which is good.

Anyway, I’ve been the one mostly responsible for the workflow engine, while he has done the DAOs, APIs, and front end components. More than once I’ve added a seeming YAGNI, which we’ve discussed, and which I’ve defended with vague statements and hand waving. (We trust each other enough that we don’t need complete agreement.)

More than once I’ve come to a point where I’ve told myself that I really need X only to find that weeks/months earlier I added either a comment about X or a doX() stub or even a partial, notional implementation of X.

I am very logical and very defensive in my coding, but very intuitive in my understanding of how things hang together. It took me years, perhaps even decades to accept and trust that intuition.

Sometimes a YAGNI is just something you know you will need, but cannot yet articulate the why and the how of it.

(I have also had more than a few tf was I thinking moments with code that was solid and clean and somewhere between mildly wrong (e.g., edge case mishandled) and near-wholly-borked (as in, I don’t understand how this ever worked, oh, wait it mostly doesn’t and I/we got lucky), so it isn’t all smooth and clean.)
Hmm, one key for even every possible Unicode code point (including surrogates, noncharacters and reserved ones, all the way from U+0000 to U+10FFFF) makes 1,114,112 keys. That’d be a big keyboard with rather poor random access characteristics. Allow 20×20mm for each key (seems a fairly typical sort of size) and that’s almost 446m². I dunno what you’ll use your 16,777,216 keys for (I agree, it ought to be enough for anyone), but as a full-sized keyboard it’s going to have a surface area of at least two thirds of a hectare. You could build a giant hamster ball a bit over 46m in diameter and lay the keys out on the inside, travelling the world as you spin the ball in order to find the right key. (The Unicode 13 hamster wheel keyboard might be more reasonable, its 143,859 keys requiring a diameter of less than five metres. Perhaps more manageable, but some keys might be harder to access as you roll through cities since the ball is no longer big enough to almost ignore many houses.)
In a democracy the answer to all of the above has to be yes. You literally get what you vote for in a democracy. Even more so in the kind of direct democracy that San Francisco engages in so frequently.
Yes, it was exactly the same in my state school a few miles down the road from Radley.

By comparison, France has 300 000 homeless persons [1], which is about 0.44%. It doesn't seem to be as big an issue here compared to California. Maybe homeless people are more concentrated in SF which makes the problem appear worse than in other countries?

Right! Don't like feces, don't step into them. Don't like Tenderloin, just don't go there. Easy, right? Right?
I wouldn't give up the higher income because you don't like the DA. If you don't read the news or hang out with people that are addicted to the news like /r/sanfrancisco you won't even notice. My way to deal with car crime is not owning a car, with the extra income I can afford to mostly use ridesharing for most of my needs and rent a car for the rest of them.

Other than car crime, other forms of violent crime in SF are mostly non-existent and rare statical anomalies.
Expect to be flagged. If this was a third world country whose government turned on it, people would care.

But we just pretend it isnt happening because people value some security theatre more than any freedoms now. People as a mob have lost the ability to behave rationally, totalitarian populists have rolled in, and they've been welcomed.

Basically we're fucked.

Edit: the post is dead, which is understandable given this kind of discussion is not what the website is for. What the OP is frustrated about, and what terrifies me, is that there is literally nowhere to have a sensible discussion online about what is happening. Any questioning the official version is shut down an name called. We're not a western democracy anymore, this is truly frightening.

Constitutional amendment that the government can't deny citizens "privileges" and that they get equal protection under the law. There's a whole mess of court cases around that and it can get complicated. But it's going to be tough to get something like you suggest past the courts.
> US government will at some point soon decide that any person born in mainland China is a security risk

Chinese people earn 15-20% of graduate STEM degrees in US, double the percentage of 10 years ago, and not counting second generation Chinese. At this rate, 'US' STEM will be Chinese dominated long before anyone wakes up to the security risk.

What about ZGC then? If throughput is not the metric to optimize for, ZGC promises less than 1 ms pauses for up to TBs of heap size.
Your understanding is correct. See here: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Package_Repositories

We run Proxmox for non-production-critical VMs. Nothing fancy, just Proxmox hosts, iSCSI storage and standard VMs on that (Windows and Linux).

Every now and then we update hosts using the No-Subscription Repository. No issues from that so far.

Maybe if we updated more frequently we would see more issues. I think we only do it once or twice between each new official version release. That's out of laziness/lack of time, not out of fear of issues from less tested packages.
Ask HN: Games for entrepreneurship
I am looking for good simulation/games to help undergrads learn about entrepreneurship. Any suggestions? Thank you.
No? Software platforms are always going to lead to a few competitors at best. It's a natural monopoly scenario and smartphones are pretty much a saturated market at this point. There really isn't much room for new competitors and the barriers are extremely high. Why should Apple be able to abuse consumers and devs?

> There's human feces everywhere outside the tourist/financial districts,

This is not accurate. The Sunset, Richmond, Parkside, Presidio, Marina, and many other parts of the city are very clean (or at least not notably dirty for a city). Perhaps the Marina/Presidio could be called tourist areas but the Sunset and Richmond certainly are not.

The OP is a lovely work and beautifully illustrated.

I recently spent 18 months working from our dining room table. I regularly have to worry about swapping out broken hard discs in my work data centre. I took a 3.5" SMART failed SAS drive apart fairly recently and turned the two magnets into fridge magnets. My wife cannot physically pull them off (ooerr missus) the fridge directly. She has to slide them to an edge or use a lever.

The grandkids' latest artistic efforts stay stuck to the fridge and so do appointment cards etc. My step-mum grabbed at one of those because she thought it was falling off and the door opened instead and then the painting ripped. Calamity! We got the little darling to do a copy and great granny calmed down a bit.

It's a shame that more people aren't commenting on this page. It is lovely.
Personally I'm not convinced by those arguments, because

- I think it should be my right to share the details of my work with anyone.

- It's already illegal to discriminate against people because they have cancer, and I don't think that imperfect enforcement of privacy on the internet is going to significantly affect anyone's chances of this happening to them.

- If someone does something and faces consequences for it, I don't think that's a bad thing.

Honestly seeing people's responses here and elsewhere on the internet is kind of a Kafkaesque experience for me because everyone seems so convinced that internet privacy is valuable yet no one seems to actually have thought through their position (no offense to you personally). I guess I can only conclude that my base values differ in this area.

Q1 Safety and Security Report
For a peak behind the curtain of what happenswith a trust-and-safety team at scale (Reddit has 50 million daily active users (DAU) and 50 billion monthly views), this is a report from the Reddit Security team.

In the process of spam-fighting, Reddit closes as many as 353,595 accounts per week.
C++ had no choice about increment operators; they came to it directly from C, so anything "recognized" in the '80s would be wholly moot. If you expect to maintain that C's post-increment operator was recognized as some sort of problem in the mid-'70s, you will need documentary evidence.

As Bruce Schneier likes to say, cryptanalysis only ever gets better; it never gets worse. The best we can say about AES-256 is that it might be good enough for any chosen period, with probability declining monotonically as the period increases. But the key schedules originally published for AES-256 made it no stronger than AES-128. I don't know if that detail has been fixed in a revision, or if it is still no stronger than AES-128. For Wireguard, Jason chose ChaCha20.

It is many years too early to determine which parts of Rust are "done". What we can say with certainty is that some that were thought done will turn out not to be, some not provisioned for extensions will end up needing them, and some defaults will turn out to be regrettable but not fixable.

African-Americans ethnically cleansed from the city, first by Justin Herman’s “revitalization” of the Western Addition, or the shocking fact that black men in Bayview-Hunter’s Point have a life expectancy 20 years less than other SF males, and in fact lower than the US average for black males.

Just because we have a black female mayor does not mean the real racism of SF is gone, just as electing Obama did not miraculously cure the US if it’s racism.

Yup, though I'd rather get the innocents out first and deal with any spies later.
The author says that “the thing that lured me in” was PF, and mentions “The Book of PF”.

I like the idea of OpenBSD. However I have been burned many times over the years as they have decided repeatedly that it is okay to make breaking changes to PF’s rule syntax. This means if you’ve installed a dozen PF firewalls for customers, you get to go around reconfiguring all of them. The nature of these types of fixes is particularly problematic and often requires on-site work where out-of-band access is not available.

It also means innumerable copies of “The Book of PF” mentioned are now paperweights, along with hundreds of articles. Readers of such articles get to play a game of “guess whether the advice in this article works or breaks PF”.

I have many problems with Microsoft, but their support for backward compatibility is something they’ve gotten right. I am hesitant to criticize volunteer programmers, but they should take a page from Microsoft’s playbook here.

I no longer use PF because I can’t worry that any day they’ll roll out yet another update that breaks my configurations.

Why NameCoin? Why not .eth / ENS that’s already supported in Brave?
I sat and chatted to a homeless fella hanging out at Fisherman’s Wharf in SF for a while. He wasn’t from CA, from Missouri IIRC. He was gay, his family disowned him, he got into drugs. He got bitter, did some nasty stuff to people he hated, did some other misguided things and basically had hit rock bottom.

I asked him what he thought would be needed to bring him out of homelessness and keep him inside society. He said he didn’t want that, he said he enjoyed being homeless. He was sleeping in a squat house, he was able to score enough cash from tourists to support his drugs habit, the police left him alone because he didn’t look out of place, he was clean, groomed etc.

How does society help someone with that view?

Here in Glasgow, Scotland we have a relatable challenge. There’s 14 people who refuse accommodation. They are long term homeless, all of them have mental issues and most have addiction problems. There’s over 100 people most nights take up access to a homeless shelter in Glasgow but they accept the help available and on average only spend 3 nights before going into proper accommodation and no longer need the shelter’s help. So It’s not that there’s no systems in place but that hardcore of 14 people who want to live on the streets have no obvious way forward.

It’s played on my mind many times over the years, how do you help someone in that scenario?

I did a short stint with a charity who supports some folks who have been given emergency housing. I was in one of the blocks of flats in Paisley one day helping deliver some food shopping, they’re only just habitable these emergency apartments - extremely basic inside. I understand why, they get trashed often by residents and so the council can’t afford to make them nice. It’s quite a bleak outlook for these folks even if they did decide they want to live indoors again.

This is a long post to say the reality seems like there’s no quick fix or easy win. If you do nothing you make things worse. If you do something, it might not be wanted.

I incorrectly concluded that Node.js has a limitation on how much memory it could use. After reading this article, I now understand that the real reason is that I'm setting too many properties on an Object, exceeding V8's limitation.

There's plenty of room for new competitors who can properly innovate on the platform, much in the same way that there was plenty of room for Apple when they brought out the iPhone amid Blackberries. Anyone who can do the same should be promptly thanked and not further interfered with. Or do you think we have nothing to be grateful for?
A storm dumping rain over the Mississippi drainage for 3--4 days is somewhat more fearsome than 20" in one spot for a few hours.

All of that flows out through the Mississippi.

I'm not saying it's worse than the storm surge. But it's going to be affecting the city for much longer. (As well as multiple locatons upstream.)
That doesn’t automatically absolve Toyota though. I feel there are multiple additional questions to investigate about the implementation of the manual drive system. For one: was the human operator remote or in the vehicle.

It's a travesty that this occurred. Speech was severely censored on real, serious topics, to drive a narrative to hurt a presidential candidate and this was deemed acceptable by great amounts of people. If this had happened the other way around, it would have been a scandal as big as Watergate.

It's truly sad that happened. But it highlights how untrustworthy the "4th estate" is. They are vested interests and should not be trusted any longer and should have their stake revoked. No one should take them seriously for anything.
