Sorry to say, but this is typical Western 'markets above all' blinders. Very true, long term China doesn't need Western markets. But China needs World's resources, and Western markets will crash when starved for resources. The future is one Eastern developed economy, and various backwater client states in constant state of quarrel with each other while being striped bare for resources. There is a lot of corn grown in Iowa, I hear there is a big market for it overseas.

this might be a formal narrative, but the simple truth is that we did it because it made powerful people rich and entrenched specific factions in both parties
After using Ansible for a while at a company I got massively turned off by the fact the version in apt-get doesn't work and if you go to ansible.com there isn't an obvious download button, there's only a button to register for a goddamn free event. There should be a big fucking red "DOWNLOAD" button at the center of ansible.com, and not a goddamn GDPR intrusion and free event. And then if I search Google for "ansible download" I land at a documentation website with 50 billion links.

No. F that. Back to shell scripts. Git clone and run "./install.sh". Most of the things I do are containerized anyway, and the heavy lifting is done by Dockerfile not Ansible, so the install.sh isn't actually that involved.

Hey Ansible if you're reading this, head over to https://google.com/chrome/. Make your front page look like that with a big obvious download button and no popups.
From a preliminary scan it doesn’t seem to have anything about resonant cavities, gamma rays being a bit tricky to reflect.

But the title does have coherent in it so I’ll have to dig deeper.
At a minimum, the CCP has full visibility into every company operating in China. They require taxes to be filed via government-provided software, and this software was found to contain backdoors.

It gets even more insidious when every company above a certain size (10? 15?) is required to hire a Party Officer for oversight.
It's useful if you have a local store you like, with good customer service, that does price matching. It means you get the cheaper price but the better experience.
The lake was already alkali and didn't have fish, mitigating the impact (sodium reacts with water to form lye, but the lake was already basic enough that it likely didn't have a large impact on the PH).

A responsible Apple would also push these features editorially on the App Store. They'd write up articles about how they encourage responsible spending and have features to help you navigate the App Store and IAP responsibly.

Perhaps the default experience would include features like:

1) The first time you spend more than $100 cumulative on IAP for Endless-IAP type items, a popup with a link to an article about available spending controls comes along with it.
2) You get a similar reminder every additional time you cumulatively spend $100 on IAP for Endless-IAP type items (across the whole App Store). This could be disabled, of course.
3) A more urgent reminder comes up at the $1,000 cumulative mark. It encourages setting an account-level monthly budget. It takes more work to disable.
It's the classic fallacy.

It's well known that 99% of the users use about 1% of MS Excel's features (exaggerating, but bear with me).

The kicker? It's different 1% for each users.

Remove the "infrequently" used features, and the product is no more.

I finally made the leap and switched to an iPad+pencil2. I’ve tried

Writing in it is not as automatic as my prior tool (cheap notebook and fountain pen, or whatever pen is available). Also portrait/landscape doesn’t really work. But over time I got used to the experience and this part is adequate.

There’s a property of physical book where you can flip back to some point in the past. I find this doesn’t work as well with ring bound books anyway.

It doesn’t have the whole “sign the page” property but I haven’t been subject to that in years so not a problem for me.

But it has several benefits:

1. It automatically converts and indexes my handwriting so I can search (!) for a note or mentions of a thing.

2. I can carry all my notes and they are with me all the time. I can even look at them on my Mac though they aren’t “live”.

3. I can connect to zoom a second time from the iPad and share a picture, or draw something in my notebook that everyone can see, and then it’s saved.

It was worth the switch. I considered a ReMarkable and a Samsung tablet but am glad I sprang for the iPad. I have tried the others (friends have them) but this seems the best for me.

Note: don’t use the iPad for much else. Sometimes I read rss in bed before sleeping if the iPad is in the bedroom for some reason.
Then rent control will allow the _most_ people who have the _shittier jobs_ to live closer to work. I don't think there is a real care here about anything other than "I want the power to do what I want", which translates pretty closely to "mah freedoms".
There is planning. Each city is obligated to increase housing by a given amount. There are transit villages being developed.

The proximal problem is that the SF government is too inefficient and slow. BART is actually more efficient than SF is at building stations.

Why would you want drag more SF politics into something that runs better than it?

I don't agree that they have been "ethnically cleansed." I'm sure economics has forced some out.

I've live in many parts of the country, and this is by far the least racist, and most racially diverse, place I've lived.

Black men in the city would be expected to have a lower life span than black men nationwide, since urban black neighborhood are more prone to drugs and gangs. Have you compared to other big cities, as opposed to just nationwide?

The implication at the time - the "End of History" era - was that free trade capitalism had prevailed and was the way to raise living standards, and that political liberalization would follow. However you slice it, it was a poor assumption.
You can also write JavaScript numbers with E notation (i.e. multiplied by 10 to the power of x), which is basically what I do with all numbers above 1,000 or below 0.001 now. It has the rare benefit, for big / small numbers, of being both more readable and more concise.

Example:

1e3 === 1000;

1e-3 === 0.001;

45.2e6 === 45200000;
Anyone's perception is $5 is affected by their economic class. Globally, there are a significant number of people who would view $5 the same way others view .50.

For me, .15 a day is negligible. I can easily imagine someone who creates memes for social media choosing to pay that, especially if they feel there is value in supporting the creator. Memes aren't frivolity any more than other content - they're one of the most popular forms of communication on the internet.
> Right-wingers may complain about this, but they have to understand that: 1) historically, subjects/victims of oppressive govts are more likely to be allies of US and other democracies, rather than enemies, and 2) innocent till proven guilty must apply universally.

You are dreaming. In reality what will happen is that the US will realize that there is no shame in being 2nd place.

American exceptionalism is somthing created by the media, in reality phenomenons such as the shifting of the global powers have been happening since forever and are so enormous that they are like the tectonic plates. They can't be stopped or messed with.

It's not a tragedy either, Europe was #1, then it dropped 2nd place and people there aren't exactly running around like chickens with their head cut off.

It's only an issue here on HN and reddit where people love to deeply analyze scenarios that they don't have any real saying on.

The rest of people just live their lives concerned with other and more pressing matters.

I work for a company that supports ClickHouse. Our focus is analytic systems, which tend to run large compared to OLTP systems.

* Sharding is part of schema design for any analytic app whose data exceeds the capacity of a single host. This is very common for use cases like web analytics, observability, network management, intrusion detection, to name just a few. Automatic resharding is one of the top asks in the ClickHouse community. (We're working on it.)

* How do I backup ClickHouse is one of our top 3 support questions in order of frequency. I just taught a ClickHouse class yesterday--part of a regular series--and it was the first question out of the gate from the audience. It has come up at some point in almost every customer engagement I can think of.

In my experience, your comment is only correct for relatively small applications that are not critical to the business.
I used a pair of insulated pliers when I stuck a staple into an outlet... thankful for that circuit breaker. Memories like this are sometimes the scariest part of being a parent. You never know what your kid will do, but I remember the stupid shit I did, and my kid shows the same inability to learn from anything but reality hitting hard.
As someone who shipped a "feature" and had to roll it back because it broke the users' flow (even though it was an improvement by all means):

It can be acceptable to un-ship a feature, breaking users' flows -- as long as there are other means that are left for them to accomplish the same result with just as much effort.

Even then, people having to re-train themselves is not a good thing, but at the very least it should still be possible to get the same result.

In our case, the way the users (ab)used the old implementation allowed them to do something that was not easily done by other means.

So we simply flipped the switch back, enabling the old behavior.

I really hope that the developers elsewhere would do the same in a similar scenario for products that I use.
I don't remember when but at some point taking on VC capital became like a death-knell to me.

Ok, so why didn't they start addressing the situation then? Why wait till now to start "thinking" about doing something?

In any case, it's not like it was a secret and you risk jinxing it -it's not "magic". People other then the administration were saying it for at least six months.
Ditto Korea. Something that shocked me is that it is common in medium-sized sole proprietorships (tech startups, small businesses, research labs) for the CEO to give their personal seal to the accountants/secretaries. It the West the equivalent would be giving away an autopen for your signature.
> Just because people vote for it, it doesn’t mean it is what people want.

This is really key, and should be a bigger topic of discussion in mainstream political philosophy. Governments that purport to be democracies ought to be responsible for aligning policies and outcomes with the preferences of the electorate. It's far too common for people to dismiss literally any problem in an ostensibly democratic jurisdiction as "well that's what the people voted for," as if the only end goal of a government is to pass some bare minimum threshold of being considered a "democracy" and the rest of the responsibility is on the electorate.
It doesn't make sense for the Bay to be one big city. There is this giant thing in the middle of it that greatly increases travel time. It is called the Bay.

Even travel down the Peninsula is extended because of the linearity of the
Peninsula (you travel up and down it).

It makes more sense for there to be regional centers. Develop Oakland. Develop San Jose even more. Maybe turn Hayward into a regional hub (fat chance but the geography is interesting). San Mateo is growing for a reason.

Hook the centers together with fast regional point to point transit. There should be no stop trains between SF, San Mateo, San Jose, Oakland, and Hayward.

It is all incredibly obvious if you look at a map. It is all driven by geography.

This is also the reason that Mountain View and Fremont have grown rapidly. Just look at the map. Maybe add them
as regional centers.
Because depending on what you want to do, Typescript and Kotlin are better languages with superior tooling, adoption, and community support.
You can use termios in Windows applications.

Cygwin implements termios over the Windows console API. So I mean call tcsetattr() to go to character-at-a-time input and so on. Not only termios, but ANSI escape sequences, too.

With the Cygnal fork of the Cygwin DLL, you can deploy a Cygwin program as a "native" Windows program. You bundle the .exe with cygwin1.dll from the Cygnal project, and any other needed .dll's from Cygwin.

Let's say for example I'd like one container to have JavaScript disabled, and only enable the cookie autodelete add-ons. In another, enable JavaScript and some specific add-ons (like a password manager). Also, would be nice to be able to control cookie settings per container.
> one of the most controversial and what introduced me to this many years ago was the crypto export ban

Yeah, I'm well aware of that ban, which is what I was alluding to originally with the "even though it's not state secrets". Crypto isn't really a state secret, but it's classified as munitions, which is equally as weird and convoluted, and probably only really accepted because they were able to make a case about it being a national defense issue.

Controlling what companies can and can't do with their own property gets weird fast. So maybe some laws go in place to prevent China from cooercing IP from companies that want to work in their market. What if China just wants to outright pay for the technology and buy the IP? Is that okay? What if that purchase price is based on some other stipulation that they don't follow through on? The whole problem here is that some Chinese companies are willing to just say "screw it, your laws don't apply here and our prior agreements don't matter, and my government will back me up" and there's not a lot of recourse at a company level to stop that. The only way to actually stop any abuse is to disallow all business with China unless they adhere to the rules, but that's a hard sell when it looks like it's a nationwide ban because of a few bad companies, which is definitely how China would spin it and how it would be disseminated through specific media campaigns.

And actually banning business with China would be so disruptive and so unpopular for some companies (and companies that would be willing to push against that legislation) that it really would be extremely disruptive internally, and be presented as an issue of over regulation and big government intervention and racist and everything we've already seen before, just turned up to 11. And honestly, China might see that as a win no matter what happens, because it either exposes the dysfunction in our economic model or it moves it closer to their economic model, which would be a vindication of their path.
Remember that time when Amazon shut off wiki leaks hosting. And The banks froze Wikileaks bank/charging capabilities?

But crypto is also capitalist, and it explodes a lot more often than regulated, fiat commerce.
If Ansible is a pain, what's your view on Chef? :)

I've found Ansible good for quick one-liners across multiple nodes :)

Having used Puppet, Chef, Ansible, custom shell and Python scripts, and Terraform provisioners, I'll say there aren't really any "good" automation tools.

They each have their pros and a long list of cons.

The good thing is that a lot of garbage that I used to do with those tools has been replaced with K8s. Some Terraform and Ansible still survive for self-managed VMs, but that's about it.
There is no usable standard scroll bar on mobile.
99% of apps in the iStore "engage only a small subset of users".

And Windows Phone did have all the other apps that engaged large subsets (from Netflix to Uber and everything in between).

Windows Phone was killed by lack of apps.

The moral, in case it's not clear, is that most of the value proposition of any major product are parts that "engage only a small subset of users".

Different subsets for each part.

Remove the parts, and you are left with no product to speak of.
The seal for a Chinese company is registered with the local government. An important part of verifying China contracts is double-checking the seal.
TBH, I'm not in favor of requiring helmets, but given the fact that balance does tend to decline with age, I think that recommending that older cyclists ride trikes instead of bikes would be a good idea. Falling off of a trike is less likely.
It's not hard when if you go back more than 40 years (so parents) knew first hand living in substandard housing, in huts and muddy fields, bunking two families to a flat and one "mao coat" per person in their wardrobe. Eking out a living. When you propel a billion (now 1.4) into the middle class, they will forgive a lot.
They heavily invested in their STEM workforce, making it feasible to take over Western know-how. See OP article.
In this case they would be whistle-blowing against a hostile foreign organization, so I don't think Snowden-like issues would apply here.
You'll probably get a better answer from one of the people involved in the project, but I'll take a stab at this.

The right comparison is an airplane not a semi-truck. If you can drive a semi somewhere it doesn't seem like this makes much sense.

It carries substantially less (it looks like ~1/4 the mass), but it looks like you can buy more than 4 of these for the cost of 1 Cessna Caravan (wikipedia quotes a few million dollars for one of those, and the quote in this thread is a few hundred thousand dollars for an airship). You need 0 pilots to move those 4 around instead of 1 to fly the airplane, and the claim seems to be that it's more fuel efficient per kilogram-meter so those 4 should take less fuel too. Moreover you're getting increased flexibility because if you only need a fraction of the weight, you don't need to send all 4. You also get vtol take-off and landing with the airships.
Next time on Cody's B Lab...
My absolute wish is to run Proxmox on a laptop and have a VM drive the laptop display.

Currently this is not possible.

There are many guides on passing through the integrated or dedicated GPU, but NOT using the laptop display in a guest VM. The host/Proxmox doesn't need the display. I want the guest to own it. No looking glass no spice no gl window no virt-gpu. The VM should directly own and exclusively operate the gpu and laptop display.

My dream setup is Proxmox being very minorly configured - a stable base that's easy to restore. Within it 5 VMs: firewall, primary-linux, rescue-linux, linux-for-containers, and Windows 10.

I recognize most folks are running Proxmox on a desktop but I have a very nice laptop. I want to isolate my firewall into a guest VM (opnsense). I want to run my primary Linux in another guest VM - with the Intel iGPU passed through and using the laptop display. I want to run Windows - when I need it - for games that intentionally disallow VMs. I want to run a separate Linux (Rancher) for containers/development. Finally I want a rescue-linux so if the primary fails for whatever reason, Proxmox would fail over by starting the rescue VM - just something with enough for me to remote into the host/proxmox and fix things. Windows would be viewable from RDP or looking glass. The container Linux would be ssh-administered. Same as firewall or web admin.

I LOVE the idea of Proxmox making it easy to backup/transfer/experiment with different OS's.

Because I can't get Proxmox to drive the laptop display - something not possible on AMD or Intel afaik - I settled on NixOS as the host with explicitly configured everything. Windows in a VM. Docker available on the host. It's the best I can do :(

Someday I hope hypervisors-against-metal on laptops is commonplace.

Seriously: If someone can get the laptop display to work from a guest VM on any laptop I would be so happy. I hope AMD gets this because I am so done paying for baby steps with Intel.

EDIT: Looks like I'm trying this again tonight: https://github.com/patmagauran/i915ovmfPkg

(purportedly a romfile for the igpu that _will_ drive the laptop display)

I've tried it before about a month ago but it looks like I was using the "2.1" release from last year. A few things have been updated in June/July.

That's not a bug.
As compared to other environmental hazards the US army has wrought, this honestly seems relatively well thought-out and harmless.
It says in the article they sold 51% of it… that’s not going rogue… that’s selling a controlling stake.

I think I need to reread… is this just Chinese fear mongering?
Have you looked into Apple Arcade? None of those games have ads.
Maybe they're going to get into the hardware business. Back in the day they wouldn't, because they were already in trouble for their software monopoly. But today is a different story. It would be hard to argue that MS couldn't get into the hardware business for monopoly reasons, when Apple has been doing it for years.
I know US citizens who have Secret clearance and still maintain dual citizenship. And that includes some countries that aren't even treaty allies.
