OpenBSD is definitely the free OS than I enjoyed running the most. I now use NixOS for most of my server and VM uses because I really appreciate being able to trivially keep all the configuration state in version control.

However when I ran OpenBSD on an old Chromebook I did really enjoy using it, I made a point of trying to use just the base system and aside from needing a web browser it was extremely usable. The documentation is universally good all the built in tools are well maintained. In the near future I’m gonna setup a separate firewall/router machine from my NixOS box and I think I’m going to use OpenBSD there too.

Raising $100-$1k per person is technically easy enough nowadays with crypto. The hard part is keeping it legal.
There are public records of PPP payouts. There is no shortage of BS on it too. There are pages and pages of million dollar+ loans in my neck of the woods.

A local pizza joint took home a quarter million dollars. Local two-person investment firm: $260k. Family member of mine bragging about record revenues & so much work: 300k. Two places I used to work (who are bragging on LI about having too much work so are hiring like mad, one of which uses mostly offshore workers) $1.7MM and $1.1MM. Big local property management company benefiting from outrageous rents: $2MM. Several staffing companies $10MM!! That might be the max, there are lots of $10MM companies on the list.

And there are countless 1 person LLCs that took home $20k+. Go put in your ZIP, sort by least number of employers and look at how many individuals where handed out five figures. Bunches of them around me were lawyers and accountants.

> The total expenditure for those was >800 billion, which I believe is more than the total expenditure for the PPP.

Barely, they were both around $800 billion. Just one went to every American, while the other went to the Business Class (who also received those stimulus checks, btw).
The cost of this seems way too low. Considering all of the planning and extras going with this.

Cosnidering that they're looking to go through Diomede (https://www.google.com/maps/place/Diomede,+Alaska+99762/@65....) I don't think that's too unreasonable for the underwater portion. It's a big long but with a project like this you have to go there.

The other big factor here is going through Alaska.. a lot of that land just isn't developed (nor does a lot of it have mobile signal. Consider what will happen if a train breaks down along the way)

Getting the US, CA, etc to go along with this in it's self is just too much of a stretch. CA is not fitted for high speed rail tracks. (Their train network resemebles that of Amtrak in it's current stage minus HSR) The US and Canada are unlikely to let Chinese developers to come in and mess with the rail here. (If they do that's a huge loss for riders and freight, because that would transfer ownership of the rails themselves)

I'm guessing here: But it feels like another pro-China fluf piece to advertise their recent high speed rail networks. Or it could be a drive to get investors and then 'walk away'.

Another wrench to throw into this: I doubt most people will spend 3d+ for this ride when a plane takes 14 hours. This will probably be used for freight.
I don't think I can blame a politician for being technically illiterate, especially one that old.

That right there (probably without the age bit) would be the ideal one liner response from the reporter or an attorney from the paper.
Like a lot of our tools we developed the i18n solution entirely in-house.

Yeah, it's a weird decision.

Google has indexed >40M pages on the site, so we'd need a little exception on that 20k limit ;)
Where are you getting those figures? When I look up the stats for the 2021 Accord I see weights ranging from 3,150-3,446lbs.[1]

Really though, the Civic and Accord aren't competing with the Model 3. They're front wheel drive. They have less power and torque. They use struts for the front suspension. All of these measures save significant weight (and cost). That's why I picked the BMW 3 series. It's similar size, performance, and cost. If we look at other competitors to the Model 3 we get similar weights:

- Volvo S60: 3,724-4,468lbs. (The low number is front wheel drive. The high number is a plug-in hybrid.)

- Audi A4: 3,682-3,726lbs.

- Mercedes C-Class: 3,472-3,605lbs.

- Cadillac CT4: 3,422-3,616lbs.

- Volkswagen Passat: 3,014–3,794lbs. (The lighter versions are front wheel drive only. The heavier versions are hybrids.)

In general, fancier cars are heavier. Also safer cars tend to be heavier. Yes batteries are heavy, but so are engines, drivetrains, starter motors, turbochargers, exhaust systems, fuel tanks, and so on. Early electric cars were significantly heavier because they were based on combustion platforms. When EVs are designed from the ground up, the weight penalty is less than 10%. Vehicle models in the same market segment vary more than that, and some combustion vehicles are already heavier than their electric competitors. This will likely get better with time as battery technology improves.

The statement "EVs are heavier" is approximately as true as "AWD vehicles are heavier". All else equal it's more likely than not, but the difference is rarely enough to matter for any practical purpose.

That's a person not an example.
What? I don't understand what you mean by that.
God said: "...men are, that they might have joy." (https://abn.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/bofm/2-... verse 25, "men/man" meaning people, of course, as below.)

And He also said: "For behold, this is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man." (https://abn.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/pgp/mos... verse 39.)

Consider that: God's purpose is for our eternal benefit, and the purpose of life is joy.

I have learned for myself that the above is true, that mercy and justice are real, and our choices matter, and life, while legitimately full of hard things, does have purpose and can lead to peace, and eternal life. This mortality is not the beginning or the end, for sure.

There is so much more, and I have found (amid divorce/remarriage, long-term health issues, mistakes, sweet grandchildren now, and a variety of learning experiences) that it really, really helps, and life is good.

Edit: minor wording clarifications.
My experience as a new Amex customer has been horrid along these same lines. Everyone talks up Amex, but I'm not seeing it so far.
Not sure I get what you mean. As I see it, ECS has more of a relational character. Feels more like data pipeline than operations/messages on objects. I think the mental model matters the most here and that depends on how you think of objects. But then any attempt of defining OO objectively seems to be futile, there are conflicting historical and contemporary notions plus a whole bunch of jargon on top, depending on who you're asking.

As an example you could say that Scheme is more object oriented than Java or vice versa and there would be valid, typically cultural reasons for each.

In terms of ECS what kind of happens is that, yes, you have a model of an entity and can think of that as an object, but that is a projection of a set of components or a relation. You're not really talking to the entity as a whole all that much anymore. And it's not just "it satisfies this set of interfaces" either. Your systems literally define data transformations, each on a focused set of related components that matter to a system, which seems kind of the inverse of hiding data behind object interfaces.
Wouldn't this also involve needing to use a tripod?
I think I'm late to the party but at this point I'm thinking the name "Dreamliner" is a misnomer.
I think "view source" is a hacking tool invented by the notorious hacker group "4chan". I say we start a change.org petition to get Google to remove it from Chrome.

Is OpenIndiana really better than FreeBSD or ZFS on Linux today? I’ve had a pretty great experience using ZFS with NixOS but I’m curious if I’m missing anything.
Interesting. I was working on an app that would let users scan logos and return company data; carbon footprint other industrial impact metrics, individual investors, board, C-suite… into a shared repo of oligarchs who have chosen celebrity and visibility by “leading” us with our own data.

I was going to send images to Google to pull objects and text from, but if I could just send text to search for, that would be great.
I can't imagine that a large, national organization like the ACLU or CPJ would want to dump tons of money into making this a massive national story should that happen...

It is very hard for me to take any claim of "advanced psychological technology" seriously, especially when it includes a section about "supernatural phenomena."

Can a person get or train themselves to resolve ambiguous stimuli (like a Necker cube) in multiple ways? Sure. Can one dissociate one's attention from the center of one's gaze? Undoubtedly. But is there a reason to call this "perceptual weightlifting"? Maybe this works for some people; but I find myself turned off by this language, especially because it seems to promise "superpowers."

One of the points made here is that though most people think that the important aspect of attention is what people focus on, it is also possible to change how one focuses, in a low level sense. Which is a) true, b) potentially worth exploring, and c) very likely not going to live up to the self-hype.

I think being aware of what one is sensing and perceiving to be important; the same is true with other types of self-awareness.
They should have basic knowledge, but they won't. The majority of people in the world can barely use computers well at all, and we need to work with this reality.

I don't understand the age excuse, honestly. My mother is about the same age. She is not technical, but she has used computers for the last 30+ years. Just like anyone any other white collar worker. She would have wrangled with WordPerfect control codes to format insurance quotes in the 80s. Document markup (and stuff hidden in the markup) is not esoteric knowledge, or I wouldn't think it is. Except apparently it is.
> Making sure an investor has financial acumen helps founders focus because it is hard enough raising money from angels/VC's in $10k+ amounts - imagine if you only raised $100-$1k per person. Egad! Crowdfunding might be an exception to this - but it is fairly new.

That has zero to do with the existence of accredited investor rules.

In the current reality, many issuers have their own minimum investments such as $25k, $500k, $1mm. This successfully keeps out people that either don't have those sums of money or are encumbered by life expenses, far more than the accredited investor rules do.

An alternate reality without those rules also retains the ability for issuers to deny capital from whoever they want, and by soft-denying capital by setting minimum amounts.
Don't distort their words. They said could and should.

Paraphrasing here from reading this many years ago, but in one of Richard Dawkins' books, the answer someone gave was "I don't know, but I do know I have reservations at my favorite restaurant for lunch and will be having my favorite sandwich." For some reason that has stuck with me.

Yes, happily. She was finally able to get the transfer done at a different bank.

Mom passed last year, and the heartfelt words from the entire family were the greatest tribute we could have asked for.
I think you're under-estimating how much this is just the governor cravenly trying to save face. He's a just a spineless politician who is afraid that this "hack" will be used against him. Because the public was notified of the obvious fuck-up in the html, he felt he needed to "respond to their concerns" and is doing so in the only way he understands, or that that group of the public "under attack" understands as well: criminal charges.

He's using the public's fear to try to gain political points by looking "hard on crime".

Obviously, he's stupid. But part of the problem is the public also think this was a "hack". Basic understanding of the web is not apparent amongst an enormous swathe of the public.
Oh, you're one of those morons who thinks both parties are equally bad, huh?
I get what the article says and what the county claims. That doesn't make what the parent said right.

> “The almost one million UAW retirees and active members stand in solidarity with the striking UAW members at John Deere,” UAW President Ray Curry said.

Pretty awesome, retirees coming back to help out exploited workers. Imagine what better benefits and working hours Tech can have if we also did this.
> It is complicated, and even statements like ”access to firearms has been shown to affect suicide rates” are could be misleading because you could be putting the cart before the horse, if someone has chosen to kill themselves, it reasons they will chose a fast/painless, and effective tool.

But choice of method does affect rate of death, so it's correct to say that increased access to any method that's commonly used affects the rate of death. Decreasing access to that method is valid if its one of the measures taken to reduce suicide rates.
Pierce's very influential book "Types and Programming Languages" (TAPL) makes the case that type systems are "lightweight formal methods".

> The top import categories (2-digit HS) in 2019 were: electrical machinery ($125 billion); machinery ($92 billion); furniture and bedding ($27 billion); toys and sports equipment ($25 billion); and plastics ($18 billion).

> U.S. imports of agricultural products from China totaled $3.6 billion in 2019, making China the United States’ 6th largest supplier of agricultural imports. Leading categories included: processed fruit and vegetables ($787 million); snack foods ($172 million); spices ($170 million); fresh vegetables ($136 million); and tea, including herbal tea ($131 million).

--------

#1 item imported from China is electronic machinery. #2 item is non-electronic machinery.

Your "cheap toys" comment is #4 at only $25 billion, a fraction of the amount of electronics we import from China.

So yes, "iPhones / Lenovo" is far more representative of our imports from China than whatever you're thinking.

----------

This is probably important to note: but the USA has no equivalent to the Shenzhen electronics marketplace. Yes, China has leapfrogged us in cheap and effective electronics manufacturing.

No, its not the "high-tech" stuff. But a lot of electronic assembly: from power supplies, to iPhones, to motherboards, happens in Shenzhen for a reason. The nuts-and-bolts of resistors, capacitors, motherboard manufacturing and the like are important.

USA holds the capability to make these things in smaller runs, but not as efficiently as Shenzhen. The closest we had was Silicon Valley, but that turned into software and the hardware/electronics component has basically disappeared. Yes, we have a "maker" movement, but over there, they have Shenzhen: a "maker city".

Its like an entire city that's filled with 1980s / 1990s style "Radio Shack" parts. https://ledpixelart.com/shenzhen/

For a small sample of what's available: https://www.seeedstudio.com/, seeedstudio is one Chinese company that caters to US makers.
Ask Apple how that turned out for them by being completely hermatically sealed from the public. Zero transparency.

This is a low quality knee-jerk emotional comment tickling the current FB zeitgeist and HN tends to love those.
I'm not disputing anything you're saying. My response, a rebuttal to "we need to focus on population reduction", was about 2 things:

1. Countries with high population growth numbers do, in fact, focus on bringing those numbers down. China and India have had widespread family planning programs for decades and those have borne fruit.

2. The country with the highest per-capita consumption in the world conditions a lot of its foreign aid on recipients not promoting family planning. Meanwhile, Internet commenters from that country grumble about poor countries' population numbers.
Super impressed with all the work going on in BSD to support and make it work on M1 macs.

I can’t believe this is free. Glad I support the BSDs with the pittance every month that I can but wow amazing work.
It would be huge for China to become the world infrastructure leader, taking the helm at next-gen worldwide transport. I could see them doing this purely for geopolitical flex.
Parsing GCC/Clang (or god forbid MSVC) compiler error messages listing a mixture of header paths, usage paths, and unrelated system headers, with no clear distinction between the start of one error and the start of another, is a skill in of itself.
Ah yes, it appears that has fallen in favor of nitrogen. [1] I never would have imagined nitrogen would do the same thing. Apparently there are a variety of inert gasses that have the same effect. [2]

So if regular air is 80% nitrogen already, won't the tires move towards 100% nitrogen with each top off since the tires will be retaining the nitrogen more than the oxygen? Sounds like a marketing trick unless they're filling newly mounted tires with 100% nitrogen.

Trains don't because they are too slow. Fast freight shipping is possible if the tracks are built for it.

Small parcel shipping through high speed passenger train is also feasible, and I think already done.

Ocean carriers are quite efficient, but they need to run on fossil fuels, and especially dirty ones at that.

Even some new stuff is like that - and partially my fault, depending on the area :)

That said, some stuff that was REALLY tough to understand was ripped out recently, the "reactor queue" and incremental build system. They were central to how editor tooling works and utterly incomprehensible since they were working around the lack of a free-threaded compiler service. Now the entire compiler is free-threaded, so all the complex machinery to coordinate work is mostly deleted and/or reduced to like 50 lines of straightforward code.

I've been fascinated by the interactivity of Common Lisp for a while, and would really like to be able to, say, redefine functions of a running program in other languages as well. I feel like it would be extremely beneficial for debugging long-running programs.

However, I have never actually been able to program in Common Lisp without repeatedly getting to the point where it seems I have to restart the whole system. I suspect because somehow the state of the code and the state of the system got out of sync. So until now I have always given up, and used C-like languages after all, because there are more well-tested libraries available, and because I never managed to use the full potential of Common Lisp anyway.

I would really like to learn how to use Common Lisps full potential though.

When Apple has a total 0 input in making and marketing of said game and just charges for services - that's not revenue from games.

And if you want to put a bar that low - Google makes billions from ads for games, YouTube play alongs and other services purchased by game makers. Let's also no forget Starbucks revenues from all the game devs, that definitely counts as game revenue.

> Just like Sony makes a cut from games on PS5.

You do realize that all PS5 games get input and support from Sony, do you?
Of course it’s an ad hominem—I just said that I think it’s better to judge someone’s philosophy based on how a person embodies it. The ad hominem is very much pertitent to the question at hand!

Philosophy is for living, not for sterililized, abstract what-ifs and hypotheticals that can only be critiqued as platonic ideals, lest you be accused of committing a “fallacy” for maintaining that a philosophy should be practiced and not just talked about.
> I mean someone it the freaking state bureaucratic hierarchy should at least be lucid enough to consult someone who has an actual clue about things as these.

Why are you letting the leader off the hook and charging the underlings for being responsible for something a leader should be responsible for? Age of the leader is irrelevant because the leader chose to become a leader.
The "problem" I have with Blender is that I can use it about once or twice a year, and of course every time I forget how it works (or the UI has been updated to include an even bigger maze of options). It would be great if Blender had an API on which someone could develop a more beginner-friendly UI. (Curious to know if that happens to be the case).
