> I repeat, the enemy is not your redneck boogyman somehow orchestrating everything you think is going wrong with the world, it is your politicians who have repeatedly promised you just need to elect them to solve your problems while never having the slightest intention of doing so.

I don't buy the argument. When France increased the price of gas, they got nationwide "yellow vest" protests that left 11 people dead. In other words, politicians are stalling on the climate change because actually tackling it is a widely unpopular move.

If people say they want a cleaner Earth, but qualify it with "as long as fuel prices don't rise," then they have made their priorities known. Politicians are merely following it.
I assure you he did not kick start that idea in computer science.
GPS and Galileo have overlapping frequencies (this is by design) so if GPS is jammed then Galileo probably won't be available either.

GLONASS is historically less accurate and available than GPS (at least at lower latitudes) so I wouldn't be surprised if fewer (or no) aircraft have hardware for it
Why not use a bike bell instead? Also, why do pedestrians need to notice you?
It's been an odd experience having a few Australian HN posters attempt to rationalize to me why their police are justified in shooting people who leave their homes with rubber bullets, and why it's normal to be required to take surveillance photos of themselves in their own residences. I guess strict authoritarianism must be accompanied with equally strict media propaganda.
It is, if there ever was any doubt, a reminder why we should be talking about protocols and open standards and not companies running their proprietary stuff across the world. I should not have to care if it is US, China or India that houses it. I should not have to care if it it is FB, LinkedIn or TikTok. But that is the problem. The companies have no problem trying to tie people to a specific brand and open standard is a problem for keeping the brand tied.

Even the possibility of an option for a person to pick on their own is a threat to market dominance. And we all know how well inertia works.

As for propaganda and espionage... what isn't used it for it these days?

I have had panic attacks due to office 365 becoming unlicensed on an RDP server in use. Friday I finally was able to turn off password expiration and get it to properly license. Every year it renews has been full of stress and issues since we buy through a partner program. Nothing like having the scariest issue at our company be a fucking license issue for a product we pay money for every year.
As an Australian, I can definitely say I'm not complacent. The rise of all this surveillance here certainly unnerves me, and has definitely helped hasten my want to emmigrate ASAP.
I worked at a multi-billion dollar company (not Tesla) where the CEO considered himself chief engineer and tried to prescribe low-level technical solutions from the CEO level.

It was terrible. CEOs don’t have the time to keep up with technologies and understand the low-level requirements that drive good decision making. A person doing a CEO job can’t possibly keep up with someone doing full-time engineering work in any fast-moving field.

The only way we could make progress was by subtlety seeding our ideas to the CEO and waiting for him to claim them as his own directives after he realized they were good ideas. It was an exhaustive way to get things done.

I experienced this in the Smalltalk world years ago as well. Languages/environments are tools. They amplify what an individual can do when creating. High powered languages allow high powered people to write cooler code. Average programmers just write more average programs. Spaghetti programmers just make more spaghetti.
I don't think there's anything uniquely Australian about this.

Australia is "first" because it is being used as the testing ground for this stuff, but the same playbook will be used in other countries in the coming years, especially those in which Murdoch's (a pretty unapologetic authoritarian) influences extend.

A bike bell is not going to work, I don't see them. If I saw them I could always talk to them.

Pedestrians need to notice me because a lot of people walk on bike paths and because a lot of people jaywalk. Since I'm much closer to the parked cars and much smaller than cars they're going to realize there's no cars, think it's all clear, and when they advance I'll be there. It happened to me often.

It's not loud enough that people on the sidewalk will hear me clearly - in traffic I often can't even distinguish my own music - but people that are on my way or about to walk in front of me will notice and that's good enough.

Also in my city when there's an underpass the law is to go on the sidewalk, so I like to be noticed by pedestrians so they know I'm here without ringing my bike bell non-stop or speaking to everyone and trying to get them to notice me.

I’m posting this in case it helps someone:

I used to suffer fairly severe migraines with aura every month or two until I started taking a chelated magnesium supplement for an unrelated purpose. I found that my migraines dropped by 95% or more, and they are much less severe when they do occur.

I was in my early 30s when I started taking the magnesium, so it’s possible that I just aged out of migraine sensitivity, but the magnesium supplements are not terribly expensive and are probably worth some self-experimentation.
I have done no research on this but maybe these are dual income households where one spouse stopped working to take care of children because of covid closing schools and they adapted to a single source of income. With childcare cost are there any reasons for them to go back at this point if the wages are low enough it doesn't make financial sense?
Well, and at a price that will result in prices for goods that customers are willing to pay. There is no shortage of services that people would like but that middle class-ish people can't/won't pay for if they have a large labor component.

Maybe I'd like to be able to ring up a personal chef. But I'm not actually going to pay for that.
I think you’re right, and doing some more digging this seems if anything a somewhat useless engineer-wouldn’t-it-be-cool type project that isn’t solving any of the real problems that people face. Sigh.

It's kind of a boring and tired point, but for another perspective on "is X a Lisp?" it's worth reviewing the Lisp 1.5 manual from 1962: http://www.softwarepreservation.org/projects/LISP/book/LISP%...

Consider the program at the bottom of page 29 that calculates the length of a list. What's the delta to get it to run in X? In Clojure, quite a lot of modification is needed. Scheme, slightly less. Common Lisp though, all you have to do is change the archaic top-level "DEFINE (( (LENGTH ..." to "(defparameter LENGTH...", and "ADD1" to "1+", and to call it change "LENGTH ((A B C D))" to "(LENGTH '(A B C D))", similar for "LENGTH (((X . Y) A CAR (N B) (X Y Z)))". The features of cons cell lists (including the syntax (X . Y)), lambdas, PROG, setq, labeled gotos, and even being able to use SHOUTING names if you want, have all been retained throughout the decades.

The program from 48-51 works as an example too. Here's a small driver someone wrote in CL to run it without having to modify it: http://www.informatimago.com/develop/lisp/com/informatimago/... One notable feature is that of being able to TRACE a function, which is quite handy, and is retained in modern Lisp systems. You could write such a driver in any language, sure, but it wouldn't be as small and simple in anything but Common Lisp, because so many of the functions in Appendix A have been carried forward through history with many Lisps until Common Lisp, so you can just pass them through to the base Lisp, no need to remap and wrap things/write a small interpreter like you would in Clojure/Scheme. A language that just ignores all of that history and makes no attempt to be backwards compatible with any of it can't be considered a "true Lisp", even if it shares other Lispy features.

But again, it's a tired argument, and whether someone disagrees isn't very important. To me, Clojure is a Lisp-inspired language (like so many others, e.g. Julia), and is attractive on its own merits, without having to crib the good name of Lisp.

The Closer pokes fun at Jews, trans people, white people, black people, gay people and everyone in between. There's plenty of jokes in there about classes I'm in. I wasn't offended, it was hilarious. If you want to be treated like a normal person, you have to be able to take a joke like anyone else can. The trans uproar about this only serves to solidify the status of the community as perpetually offended and unreasonable.

J.K. Rowling highlights some very valid concerns about GD treatments and receives an avalanche of serious death threats from the trans community.

It's pretty clear who's terrible here. The rabid activists who stop at nothing to tear down those who disagree.

I have this theory that one of the contributing factors to the "I don't want to go to the office" trend in the US (which I'm part of), is that cities are also not made for commuting. Coming from Europe, where public transport is really practical, and cities are built for density, your commute is often much less cumbersome AND you can enjoy some social life after work since you're in the city. Here (the bay) it was just the worst. Companies can't build in cities so they build large offices in suburbs. There's a lack of housing so no matter where you live you'll end up paying like crazy. And there's pretty much no practical public transport so you're just going to live through hell. I spent some time in LA and I can't even imagine how people deal with that there. I'm never going to commute ever again after that experience, unless I'm back to Europe.
Some people are, but most people, who claim it, are not. It has been already with other disease like having measles parties.

There are people who claim that they are not afraid of the virus but refuse to get vaccinated.

There is also mixing up of natural immunity and innate immunity. Many people claim that they do not need the vaccine because they have innate immunity (they usually using simply "immune system").

Unfortunately US does not recognize acquired immunity by being ill.

It would be better to use different wording altogether: "vaccinated", "recovered".
I've tried to set my kids up to watch movies in the car during long road trips, but the 10+ second bluetooth delay is brutal. Thankfully, we still have the headphone jack for wired audio.
Anyone who has crossed state lines in the last two weeks is required to follow those quarantine measures. They have fewer than 10 deaths per state combined with very high vaccination rates. From the outside looking in, it seems wholly unjustified.
Fun fact: the early steam engines were abysmally inefficient, and were only adopted because the main use case was pumping water out of coal mines, so there was a large supply of fuel easily on hand.
i am also very interested to know this as well.

the absence of “irl” community is something i have thought a lot about over the years.

seems nowadays most people hang out with either:
1. existing friends/family
2. coworkers
3. go online

with wfh, you lose #2. if you are a transplant, or never had #1, that doesn’t leave you with any options.

it seems inevitable that the future of socialization will be online and niche. and there will be a small minority that reject that trend and go “off the grid” to connect with nature.

i’m interested to research these topics/themes more thoroughly, if anyone can recommend further reading.
>I have done no research on this but maybe these are dual income households where one spouse stopped working to take care of children because of covid closing schools and they adapted to a single source of income.

[raises hand]
For small businesses, they often can't survive the labor cost increase because bigger, monopolistic enterprises have cut their available operating margin through means unavailable to an aspiring entrepreneur. Saying they don't deserve to exist is giving way too much credit to the incumbents in many cases.
> Employment should always be mutual benefit deal, and just like a company would let you go if employing you isn't beneficial anymore you should leave without too much hesitation if its for your own benefit.

This is a good recommendation overall. Loyalty to a company is foolish, because the company has no loyalty to you.

For better or (probably) for worse, the mutual benefit/harm is ridiculously asymmetric in employment relationships, and there are also externalities.

The human dimensions of laying employees off mean that you are simultaneously destroying their livelihood, dissolving most of their day-to-day friendships, and lowering their social status to the near-bottom rung of "unemployed."

On the other hand, when an employee leaves a (large) company it usually has minimal effect on the company in terms of survival prospects, social relationships, or status – and the company isn't a person anyway.

There is also a third party involved - coworkers. They may suffer when an employee leaves (though rarely they benefit) but it's an externality to the employer-employee contract. I expect some people may hesitate to leave because they know it will harm the people they currently work with.
That's what ya call a blanket generalization.
They aren’t complacent. They are harassed, beaten and arrested if they object.

Absolutely disgusting what the government there is doing to our Australian brothers and sisters. And of course no media coverage to speak of in the states.
> I don't buy the argument. When France increased the price of gas, they got nationwide "yellow vest" protests that left 11 people dead. In other words, politicians are stalling on the climate change because actually tackling it is a widely unpopular move.

Regressive consumer fuel taxes are a terrible way to fight climate change. Fairly obvious that wasn't it. That was a lie they went to to try get these unpopular taxes though because they know climate change is in fact quite a popular cause.

The reality is it's just more of the same governments telling you they're desperately trying to fight climate change and sadly being thwarted at the last minute by these violent racist nazis. You really have to stop believing that claptrap and start holding your failed politicians to account. They are the problem.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_vests_protests

While some commentators have claimed that the movement was a backlash to policies meant to combat climate change,[115][116] a communique released by the movement calls for a "real ecological policy", including fuel and kerosene taxes for ships and airplanes, but objects to policies like the gas tax that hit the poor and working class most heavily.[117][118]

I think the article's trying to convey that instagram has a more curated look and so by algo-design/human-design doesn't reward videos/reels that are shot on poor resolution phones and those that don't directly follow their guidelines for being promoted - these can be barriers for folks from marginalized communities and folks that have poor access to resources.

Tiktok on the other hand promoted your video to other users on the platform regardless of these 'requirements' and as a result those from poor/marginalized communities had the opportunity go viral and gain followers as well - without investment in the polish necessary to gain the same visibility on instagram. This polish could be in the form of better phones(cameras), better clothing or better backgrounds/scenes.
I’m sorry for asking a rookie question, but you seem to know memcached really well and I couldn’t find an answer online.

Is there a way to obtain/monitor the time stamp of LTU evictions?

I want to get a sense of how memory constrained my memcached server is, and it seems intuitive to me to monitor the “last used” date of recent evictions. Like, if The server is evicting values that haven’t been accessed in 3 months; great. But if the server is evicting values that were last used < 24 hours ago; I have concerns.
Henry Ford was a good CEO in that he handed the reigns over to his son pretty early on. Henry did his best to hamstring the company until his death.
I think another technique that should be talked about is intercepting network responses as they happen. The web in 2021 still has a whole lot of client-side rendering. For those sites, data is often loaded on the fly with separate network calls (usually with some sort of nonce or contextual key). Much of the hassle in web scraping can be avoided by listening for that specific response instead of parsing an artifact of the JSON->JS->HTML process.

I put together a toy site [0] recently that uses this approach for JIT price comparisons of events. When you click on an event, the backend navigates to requested ticket provider pages through a pool of Puppeteer instances and waits for JSON responses with pricing data.
