> "unaffordable" makes no sense because obviously, there are enough people that can afford it.

Doesn't mean thinks didn't become unaffordable for other people. If a lot a people which grow up do or are considering leaving because they can't afford rent it's a social problem.

> The issue is that Germany does not have a housing crisis, there are at least 600k uninhabited housing units.

Just because there are housing units in some places doesn't mean there is no housing crisis. Because what point are housing units in the wrong places.

Because what point is a housing unit in a area where there is no work, no hospitals (close by), no supper market (close by), no public transport (which goes frequently), no restaurants, bars or people to meet, probably bad internet, etc.

I mean if that places would be nice countryside nature places it might be interesting, but they often aren't even that. They often are areas where in the past there had been a lot of manual work (car industry, coal mining, heavy industry, etc.) and it went away, as well as small villages.

> People are drawn into cities

Often out necessity, due to the points mentioned above.
Someone should ban Linus Torvalds then. C'mon we are adults: we resolve things by talking, not by calling the @admins.

And based on the imgur you posted, I think it all started with Tim's message at 11:00 am (just after Peter's message at 10:58 am): Peter got "clicked" by Tim.
Imagine the real-world equivalent: someone spreads a rumor that the Fifth Avenue Apple store is giving away free iPhones at 6pm. Ten thousand people turn up and block the store, the sidewalk, the roads…

How should a business defend against that without losing legitimate customers?

The answer is probably along the lines of “educate people not to believe rumors” (:: “educate people not to run insecure software”).
Because browsers have a good track record of getting this right, and sufficient funding to get this right, and the server-side work gets to piggy-back on that.

Also because the API surface area that server side apps need is really just not big, JVM had a lot of problems because it tried to do too much.
The attacks come from (up to) millions of different ip addresses, each one a different machine and often on a residential network.

This is the problem with botnets - all the connections look like real traffic at first glance.

> Why is this resource asymmetry unavoidable? It seems reasonable that a new protocol could solve it.

Sending a HTTP GET is easy, but the server has to process the request and send the whole page... think a few tens of bytes of a request, and a whole webpage in a reply.
There’s protection even if you’re standing there naked (except for the AirTag, of course, that has been secretly duct-taped to your buttocks): if the paired phone isn’t around, the AirTag makes noise. I can confirm this because my spouse is currently out of town, and I’ve grabbed her RV keys a couple of times to put stuff in the RV. And every time I pick the keys up, the AirTag goes off. It eventually shuts up just shy of my threshold of looking for a way to turn it off. (Or I could just make sure to grab my keys instead of hers. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )
I think most Berliners would read your comments as "it is a good thing that we give a part of our public park to the rich because they'll give us their less-desirable apartments in return. Like trickle-down economics, but for apartments". And if the current situation is any indication, those rich people will keep their old apartment and rent it, or sell it to foreign investors. Either way, say goodbye to ever owning a place in the city where you grew up.

As for the second part: Berliners feel that the city should belong to those that lived there when no one wanted to, and recognize that those people are probably not rich. Kicking the hairdresser that lived there for 40 years to make room for the tech bro is not generally seen as a positive development. Social housing would ensure that the city remains in the hands of its citizens.
Must admit it's the first positive framed use I've read. Reminded me of the GPL as my contract with other GNU guys. Sort a.
I use https://www.youglish.com for this. It was made to help people learn how to pronounce words by showing videos that contained a certain word, but I use it as a search engine.

Does that work similarly? Looking at CC text, I mean.
Not just for web either: if you ship WebAssembly bytecode as part of your python package, you can push your platform dependencies out to a wasm runtime and skip most of the build matrix.

A runtime like wasmer-python [0] is only 1.5MB.

If we do some form of authentication it seems likely that the receiving side needs to do some kind of computation. What if I just sent garbage? Garbage is easy to create but the receiver needs to do some work to figure this out.
It can only be true if you had experience with Gitlab CI 5 years ago and compare with current Github Action offering. There is no way a person who actually build CI pipelines in Gitlab and Github today can call Github a winner.
By this point you're probably used to the idea that most of the real numbers are irrational numbers. That is, even though there are countably many rational numbers, there are uncountably many real numbers.

Numbers like pi and e, even though they are irrational, can still be described. There is still an algorithm that computes their digits. The same goes for 0.112358132134... or Apery's constant. But the vast majority of real numbers can never even be described.

Proof: Any description of a number (any algorithm that computes its digits) is a finite string of symbols. There are countably many finite strings of symbols, but uncountably many reals. Math goblins.
They are not aiming for the "ultrabook" form factor, but rather the mobile workstation form factor.

According to the leaflet from NXP, the CPU has a "typical" power consumption of ~15W - if that means under load, it would be in the ballpark of Intel and AMD mobile CPUs, as far as I understand.
What would those anti-activism features be? As far as I am aware workspace owners can see "private" messages, so slack isn't much use to organize.

It's completely legal for private landlords to discriminate against LGBT people in housing federally in the US, as well as many states, counties and cities. And it happens quite often.

There's also the Fair Housing Act exemptions, where small private landlords with fewer than about 4 units, or landlords that share buildings with their tenants, can ignore the discrimination limits imposed by the FHA.
This all shows a huge underserved market.

Because of its being underserved, we're in a privileged position to ask more money, better hours, longer-term contracts, etc. Compare that to the situation of warehouse workers or ride-hailing drivers, where the situation is opposite.
Yeah, this reminds me of a product you'd find in a spy museum.

Cue the chilling effect of having to worry about being recorded whenever you're talking around someone wearing Raybans in public. And before the claims about it not being worse than everyone having a smartphone, etc, it absolutely is - it's far more obvious if someone has their phone in hand.

I assume you meant on the server, where wasm is fairly new, that's true. On the browser, wasm is a mature and stable part of the Web platform.

Otherwise very good points!

At least Torvalds doesn’t waste people’s’ time and just tells them to fuck off. That’s not good, but better than the shitty childish behavior in that slack.

What do you mean by "fair rate during corona"? The local government broke the federal constitution by limiting rents in a way it has no jurisdiction for. We should be very happy that our constitutional court prevented further unlawful behaviour.
Seems like that's another benefit of IPv6.

Without needing NAT everyone can have their own IP address and biz will be able to ban individual machines instead of some giant NAT Network because one host using that IP address is compromised.
As part of a software package I get 1Password, AdGuard, the AdGuard VPN and Malware Bytes, all for the same price as paying for 1Password yearly, so I got the bundle deal.

I often wonder how good AdGuard really is, anyone know about this? I’m aware they use some kind of proprietary connection scream, but the actual VPN tunnel appears over IPSec, I think it’s the negotiation that is for some reason non standard.

Anyone know anything about this? I am only testing it out cause I get it in this package deal
Being a new parent, I realized this is one thing I have failed at in my 20s with my parents. Should have definitely called them more often, even if it's just for a few minutes here and there.
Did I mention that if you remove the pedals with hammer and chisel, the precise surfaces become mangled and twisted and the pedals become "clickety". Very annoying, and you cannot really fix this except with new axle.
Yes, I think there is a lot of room for better protocols that reduce the asymmetry. A lot of our internet is built on protocols that assumed good behavior, since back in the 70s and 80s and even 90s that was plausible.

But I don’t think we will ever get to a point where we bring that asymmetry to zero. We often really do want complex tasks to be done by a server in response to a simple client request.

Software people rarely put this asymmetry in the front of their minds during design, so I think its something we will continue to see in new systems, even if we (magically) universally adopted better versions of the old, too-trusting protocols.
This only works for so long until the devs get tired of spoonfeeding. More importantly: There shouldn't be subtle nuances in something like a web routing library which is _supposed_ to be trivial. Just the other day I had the experience of watching a grown man give a presentation on his beloved HTTP library, explaining fundamentals of asynchronous (TM) programming and syntax as if the audience does not understand their own programming language in 2021, after seeing the previous 500 LangX.FrameworkY.HTTPlibs. This shouldn't be a thing. We shouldn't be relearning basic shit every day. The problem aside from UNIX being a giant pile of garbage, and HTTP being utterly pointless (can you even name what problem is being solved when you create a new p2p application and make them talk HTTP to each other?), is that everyone keeps making their new languages and libs to "fix" one tiny issue, and they _always_ lack basic knowledge of the past 50 years of PL history, such as Standard ML which is better than whatever they just came up with.

I think performance is just a top priority as security, I remember how in their first whitepaper they already talked about how they batch up packets and stuff like that. Also the whole approach of kernelspace instead of userspace is just for performance.

Actually, I think in the beginning there was even a "marketing chart" with throughput numbers in addition to the chart with lines-of-code numbers?

Edit: performance being a top priority also makes sense strategically: if you want people to use secure software en-masse, then the experience needs to be stellar in UX and performance as well.
Housing discrimination against LGBT people in Singapore isn't a single story, it's government policy.

I'm a typical hacker News person. Been suffering from long covid for over a year. Tried horse paste and I got relief. When I stopped taking it the long covid symptoms returned. So taking it regularly now and it helps. I'm a few weeks in though so take this with a large pile of salt.

Oh and the active ingredient is identical to the human pills. The other ingredients are all safe and common.

The arguments about getting the dosage wrong are valid. For most anyone here doing a simple calculation and being confident enough in it to bet your life on it is generally fine, but I can see people in the general population messing up simple arithmetic.

Disclaimer: if you take medicine based on a hacker News post you're a moron.

DNS based amplification has been very popular for many years now. By this point if a DNS resolver is still being used by amplification no email or contacting the ISP will do anything as they have received many other similar emails.

Insofar as there are shitty ISPs that sell your data, yes. Most ISPs don't though. Also: I trust a VPN based in Gibraltar more than an ISP which is known to sell your data.

Same here. A friend and I started trying to write solvers for our homework and our teacher loved it. He pulled out sync cables and stuff for us to use (both of us had second hand calculators, lots missing) and gave us hints when we got stuck.

I need to go thank him sometime. That catapulted both of us in the direction of a CS degree.
Unlimited PTO has always been about attracting talent (it looks great on paper) and ensuring you manage HR costs. If you have unlimited PTO there is no need to track it and no need to payout employees when they leave.
For Clojure what helped me was starting to read the source. Typically core lib first and then the Java implementation of certain constructs.

For me it helps tremendously to see how the sausage is made.
Generally true, but just to add to that, in languages like Rust and C++ you often end up including stuff you don't need due to toolchain limitations. For example, indirect calls (from Rust traits or C++ virtual methods) are hard to get rid of in general.

This is a pretty significant cause of bloat in practice, sadly, but toolchain improvements may help in the future. So for now, JS's advantage of the standard library being in the VM is pretty significant.
A non-democratic state like Singapore is very different in discussions of state-provided services compared to mostly democratic states.

A democratic state is, ideally, controlled by the people who live under its rule. As such, services provided by the state are, to some extent, under the control of these people, who can use their political power to influence those services directly in various ways. In contrast, people don't generally have any right to change the way a private entity chooses to do business, as part of the basic definitions of property rights. Basically, people often want public ownership, and use the idea of state ownership as the mechanism to achieve that.

This difference though changes completely when discussing an authoritarian state like Singapore (and even more so in dictatorial states). The benefit of democratic control that is expected from state ownership in democratic states doesn't exist if there is no democratic control of the state in the first place (this is one of the reasons it is absurd to talk about the USSR as "socialist", when all economic activity was in fact controlled by a state that was in turn controlled by a ruthless dictator). In a non-democratic state, state ownership is just as much private ownership as corporate ownership.

Of course, the problems get even more complex when you have a quasi-democratic state that is nevertheless actively discriminating against certain groups of people.
That is an unfair comparison. A delightful improvement does not mean that Apple needs to create a new product category - which I don't think they have ever done actually. They didn't invent a smart phone, they didn't invent the tablet or the watch+. They took what was already on the market and improved it to the clear delight of their customers.

It is annoying that so many people who don't understand math will downvote in these discussions. Always happens. The problem as described in this comic doesn't have the solution comic says it has. That is a fact. It doesn't say it is the monty hall show, it just says it happens once, that isn't enough to accurately identify the pattern which leads the solution to be 2/3 chance if you switch. If you don't see that then you don't understand this problem.

See dunham's answer. Anyone who has seen a PDF file in text form would swear they're looking at Postscript. There's a common intersection that's identical.

Very roughly speaking (this is a semantic debate where everyone is wrong from someone else's perspective), a PDF file is a restricted subset of Postscript, with added indexes so one can render pages in the middle without having to process the code from the beginning.

The hardship in generating PDFs from scratch is getting those indexes right. It's far easier to convert a Postscript file using standard tools.
Hrm, I don't think you're engaging with the spirit of my proposal, which does require resource-symmetry to establish auth in the protocol.

It's a bit weird that you omit the main reason for VPNs—avoiding dumb copyright strikes from your ISP when torrenting. To be fair this is a US-only reason. Maybe you live in Bulgaria or Finland.
There was no talking or discussion. It was one person being mean spirited and childish for their own amusement at the expense of others. At some point in this thread you defend it as some sort of American cultural thing -- it's not. It's universal to be respectful to others.

You're not at a bar, you're not with your friends. Don't Be a Dick. A lot of us grew up in IRC, and this behavior existed then, but hey, you're not anonymous anymore. The world / internet has moved on. Follow along (or face the consequences. I wouldn't work with Peter if you doubled my salary. I would actively avoid Peter in any technical setting).

What seemed to trigger Peter is someone who knows something much much more deeply than he does. He tried to initially engage, and quickly found himself out of his depth, and reverted to being childish. This is why you wouldn't want to work with Peter. That level of insecurity is taxing on a team.

Then there's the whole 'we never keep logs' claim which can't be proven. So, caveat emptor folks!

It can be trusted with a fair degree of certainty depending on the company. For instance, we know that PIA at the very least was willing to testify under oath that they had no records to provide the US government. Could they be keeping secret logs or have changed practices since? Sure, but at some point the claim seems credible.

Now those flavor-of-the-month budget VPNs that cannot possibly be profitable unless you're the product? Different story.
