I wouldn’t use “fair share” myself. But personal cars are horribly space-inefficient. See linked image. Add in required parking and it’s even worse.

There were definitely bad actors in the pandemic PPE procurement rush. It's mostly cleaned up now (prices/availability are more reasonable) but we would start to see all the lawsuits/investigations come forth from the activity earlier in the year.

Too many folks jumped into the business without knowing how it works/how to do verification.

We've done a fair bit of nitrile glove trading (after our initial work with N95 procurement & donations early in the pandemic) and happy to answer what I can.
They don’t. You see elderly people on bikes all the time here. They just happen to have fewer places to go after retirement.
I just wish there was proper support and UX for dates on file systems, so I can actually properly search for date ranges instead of having "iso8601 sorts lexicographically!" as a crutch used within filenames.
A few seconds with google shows that the article was copied from https://www.foxnews.com/media/cnn-two-weeks-1-million-viewer....

The text contains sources in the sense that it's reporting on Nielsen data. I have no idea whether it's reporting accurately, but it would be surprising if not, because making up fake Nielsen numbers would be such a dumb thing to do.

p.s. can you please not cross into personal attack in HN arguments? also, please don't use allcaps for emphasis - this is also in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
I have some interest in politics, and I've decided that I'll be open about public vs personal views. For example:

"I personally believe X, but my constituents overwhelmingly support Y, so I will be voting for Y."
the titled should be updated to say "the Linux community" at the end, as on the original page
Mainstream remote work has arrived, and it's here to stay. White collar occupations outside tech will be forced to adapt and provide similar accommodations. Accountants, financial analysts, clerks. Any job that doesn't require manual labor or physical face time with a client will go remote. People will notice software engineers making 6 figures WFH and ask "Why can't I have that?" I believe this is part of what's fueling the Great Resignation. The disparity in terms of salary and work conditions between the worst jobs in society and the best jobs in society has become so great that a lot of people who used to occupy the worst jobs collectively said "fuck it" and successfully transitioned to better jobs, even if they're still not the best jobs society has to offer.

This is also the reason why I believe that teaching will eventually either go fully remote or start paying 6 figures straight out of college. The teaching profession sucks. Teachers understand now that they can earn the same income without having to babysit 30 kids five days a week and deal with the kafkaesque bullshit that is school administration.
Are there any good articles on writing helpful bug reports? Whenever I submit a bug I try to give as much detail and be as specific as possible but I always imagine some dev somewhere reading it rolling their eyes at the unnecessary paragraphs I’ve submitted.
Not every discussion needs to be held in a formal context. It’s okay to have casual conversations

"Biking in this bus formation and biking normally are separate enough that it doesn’t seem to be a concern. IMO that’s like asking if kids don’t where seat belts on a normal bus, are they then at risk of not wearing seat belts in normal cars?"

I don't think you put much thought into your reasoning. You're conveniently forgetting that people have a knack for developing bad habits, and children have a knack for picking up everything their parents do and cementing it.
Microsoft is still working on a Zune 'iPod killer'.
Given basic human decency yes.

However American law requires bakers to bake cakes for events they as an individual disagree with. An old lady florist was individuals fined for refusing to do an event she thought was morally questionable.

It seems the only 'people' with rights to conscience are multi billion dollar companies conveniently doing the bidding of the party in power. So that's strange.
> the co-op has the authority through consensus to legally force someone off the commune

So first it's important to point out that in self-organized communities a ban is the most drastic measure that can be taken against someone. It's not exactly the option thrown in the air when there's any kind of neighborhood conflict.

Then, it's a feature not a bug. It requires consensus: why on earth would you be allowed to live in a place where nobody wants to live with you?

Also worth considering, what's the alternative? Calling the cops? Besides any question of autonomy in regards to the State, how would that help? What would cops do that the commune can't? Would it be more humane to incarcerate the undesired person? To assassinate them?
I've personally been hit by more bikes than cars, even suffering long-term injury in once case.
Any article calling out a network about fake news without mentioning Fox News sure as hell does not belong on HN.

The Freakonomics podcast did a short series on advertising and it turns out advertisers often do spend big bucks blindly.
The "new" Firefox Mobile is a joke... they blocked thousands of extensions... Now only about 12 extensions total are available. I still use Firefox mobile v68.11.0esr even if unsupported.
WSL is somewhat similar in that installing it was harder than installing most other things on Windows. They've made it easier in Windows 11, and will probably continue that direction. I wonder if MS knows where that leads for them.
Then consider the 1 second delay as an advertisement for consumer power. Google/YouTube annoys users with similar or even longer delays all the time. So I don't think you can see this as an "action against the user", unless you consider all non-user-tracking advertisements as an action against the user.

Also, the campaign can stop when Chrome and Firefox reach an equal user-base. So "the user losing freedom of choice of browser" is also not a strong argument.

Yes, it's sad that this seems necessary, but you can't fight corporate evilness with just goodwill. In a sense, this is somewhat similar to the paradox of tolerance [1].

>"there will be two worlds, one before Covid, and one after."

However at the same time this cannot be applied to all areas of life. While a kind of awakening may have taken place at work, the importance of social interactions became particularly visible on the other side. I assume that the majority would rather like to return to the pre-covid era, and will strive for it.
>then they got an update and someone changed everything and they don't know how to do anything anymore.

Your claim is FF updated something and your Grandma couldn't figure out how to do anything? Which update was this?
Specifically, activist GOP states; some of the most corrupt politicians on the planet. I’m sure there’s actionable antitrust against Google, but this particular lawsuit is probably hot air.
No, I’m dead serious. Sure, the magnitude of progress is not as big as say moving from horses to cars, but it is similar in how people perceive the new vs the old.
fzf is wonderful. I feel like we're only scratching the surface of its utility. Using it with git add is so fast, just "ga" (an alias), hit tab (for each file) then enter.

Who said it was bad for pedestrians? I’ve visited as a tourist and didn’t find downtown to be problematic as a pedestrian. The street cars are handy. And renting a bike and leaving downtown was easy and enjoyable. All around excellent approach to transit, from what I saw.

Edit - I see the other comment now. Lol. Not my experience at all.
Not sure how the addition of a non-verbal sign increases the risk.

The point is that it might be easier than hide than verbally or writing a note etc. So while the risk of course remains it is an added tool that is silent and doesn't require access to anything else.
> Let's not blame a whole company for what some small part of it did.

I think it's clear that it wasn't just one small part of Google. Multiple teams were involved in different projects aimed towards the same general goal.

And to the extent that it was a "small part", it's because there was an active effort to try to prevent it from leaking. That hardly counts in their favor.
Very nice!

Thanks so much for sharing it.
Yeah and even if it would be strictly according to the rules, it would still be rude and completely against common sense, same thing then to walk in the middle of the road even though there's a sidewalk "the road is for everyone"
What an incredibly helpful reply. Thank you!

It sounds like either plain ripgrep, or ripgrep+hyperscan, is pretty much exactly what I'm looking for. Next time I have this problem, I'll certainly be reaching for it.
TBH, as a non-ubuntu (gentoo) user, i'm pretty sure, that all the packaging isues (for non-gentoo packages) are something that I, personally have to deal with, and not bother the original developer with.
Thanks for describing the exact areas where I've seen this problem. The canals being what they are, there probably isn't much that can be done.
Yeah, I thought this over and over. It's actually hard to figure out exactly who to sue and for what. I've done a ton of litigation and at the end of the day this case just seemed too difficult to pursue, even though I had mountains of documentation and even the British embassy got involved at one point. I just have to suck it up like a bitch and accept I lost another three weeks of my life.
There were decidedly better programs than iTunes for Windows PCs. At the time, I was very into curating the genres etc. of my music collection and used a program called J River Media Center or something like that. I only stopped using it when Apple essentially made it impossible for 3rd party programs to be fully functional.
You're in luck then! Everyone seems to be ditching TPMs in favor of their own security chip technology. Google has titan, Apple has T1/T2, and Microsoft now has Pluton. While the TPM is a well defined spec, I have no idea how fair.
I didn't mean to say 20+ yrs of experience is an advantage.
Its the other way around. My worry is that the application may not even be considered because of 20+ yrs of experience.

I imagine many people are reading this with the assumption that compiled APL is obviously the next step for the language (APLers say it's fast, but it's interpreted—compiled APL must really be something!). Compiled APL is cool and all, but the performance picture is more complicated than it is for, say, Python.

This is because, in high-performance interpreters, the arrays have element types that are tracked automatically, providing many of the advantages of C-like compiled languages at a fixed cost per array operation. In fact, these element types can be more accurate by dynamically adjusting to the data: with a table of unknown size the C programmer must declare indices as a 64-bit type, while APL could detect at runtime that only 16 bits are needed. APL also benefits from the higher-level notation, in that it's easier for a human to write a fast implementation of a particular operation than a compiler that can generally optimize code including that pattern (with TAIL this might not be so bad). I discussed the Replicate (like filter) operation in my talk The Interpretive Advantage[0]. Another page I wrote where you can read about array performance is [1].

APL compilers are needed in order to run code on a GPU (but if you have code that's well-suited to a GPU, it's going to be pretty fast on a SIMD CPU too). And for ML and scientific applications that work with floating-point types, the drawbacks of ahead-of-time compilation are much smaller. I think for truly general-purpose computing the best approach will be to unify interpretation and compilation, combining small groups of primitives and deciding how to run them as data becomes available. Both interpreted and compiled approaches are important in reaching this peak.

It might have been a long time ago. Today it is openly biased. Left's Fox News basically. That is what sells nowadays apparently. Pick your audience and make them feel validated. Objectivity is secondary.

Canals in Amsterdam aren't extreme or rare.

It's a very common pattern when videotaping communities. Not everyone is happy to have a camera around, and there's usually agreements that the camera will stay in a certain corner and that only people who consent to be filmed will be on tape.
Of course many people get too old to bike. My grandmother is 97 and it's probably been over a decade.
That is true, but this is a normal thing that happens when there is a trust deficit.
Oh, nothing warrants it at all. The jails just like to control everything, even if there is no reason for it. Their policy is basically restrict everything and then dial back once sued.
Yep, it’s a great point to raise in support of releasing software for Linux. Adept users who can produce high quality bug reports and help solve bugs across all platforms provide a lot of value, perhaps enough to justify “only” a ~5% market share.
This is a whole chain of assumptions not rooted in anything I said. I'm not saying you don't need to learn anything. I'm saying there's no sense in making trivial tasks harder than they need to be. Of course you need to understand how to fix problems when there isn't a button to click. That doesn't mean more buttons to fix things is bad.
Bitlocker still uses the TPM on modern installs. Hardware encryption on SSDs and similar aren't used anymore, but those aren't directly related.

Bitlocker is still vulnerable to key exfiltration attacks because it's not using any encrypted communication protocols that exist in the TPM standard, but that can be (and should be!) fixed.

In the end, I use encryption to make sure nobody can just plug in a flash drive and copy all my personal files and passwords off my laptop. If they have the time and tools to exfiltrate the security key through the SPI bus, they probably have the means to install a hardware key logger in my keyboard as well. The attacks against TPMs are out of scope for my threat model and honestly they probably should be for anyone but businesses carrying secrets as well.

If the United States or China wanted my passwords that badly, they'd probably just drug me or hit me until I hand them over. Defending against such adversaries requires more than just encryption, you'd need to use something like Qubes and alter your entire lifestyle to be secure.

What I want is to have a Linux system where I can turn it on without a password and have a good reason to believe that my files weren't compromises by the maid and that the OS didn't get keylogged. That requires several parts working together.

Getting secure boot to work is easy enough these days, but once you get through secure boot you're in for a challenge. I don't know of any stable bootloaders that don't allow you to edit the init binary to /bin/bash to give you a root shell from the menu, which is a requirement for the ease of use Windows provides. I also don't know if it's even possible to get a chain of trust from initramfs back to the hardware like Windows allows for. The *BSDs seem to be doing some kind of checksumming, but I don't know how far Linux is along with this.

In my ideal world, you get prompted on how to encrypt your Linux system upon install. "Disabled", "Automatic" or "Secure", with a note that "secure" is probably what you want if you can't pick but you have to provide a password at boot. I'd also like for popular distros to switch to full disk encryption because the unencrypted boot partition defeats half the point without secure boot and custom keys (which nobody actually uses).

Microsoft proves that this can be done, although their default allows for booting without a password a bit too easy. If you buy Windows with a Pro key, they'll encrypt your system in place with the click of a button. Everyone can set it up, and in many cases it's even the default. This is a basic usability security feature that Linux just can't compete with, and in my opinion that's a shame.

Last time we got our flu shots at a Walgreens, it was an hour+ wait even though there was nobody in front of us waiting. Last prescription we filled there took two days to fill for a basic antibiotic. If it’s like that at other stores apart from our little town, we can’t be the only people who no longer shop there.
>"but small/casual apps that work really offline?"

I do not have single small/casual app I paid for or free ones that does not work with offline data.
Most others are Chromium based. But I see no reason to switch to Chrome when we have Chromium available in every Linux distribution and Brave for Windows/Mobile.
The original title was too long
That wasn’t at all my experience when I visited. Yes, some paths in the tourist area were crowded, but at no time did I feel unsafe. Add in the street car/trolley and easy ability to cycle out of the tourist district and it was pretty awesome, IMO.
> One problem with these is that they might be less useful than just shouting for help.

I think this sign was in particular meant to be used while on a video call. An abusive partner may currently not be looking at their victim, so they could do the signal, while making an auditory signal would not work.
I know someone who has that same issue. They started having other wrist/thumb issues, and only realized they had limited range of motion in their thumbs while doing Physical Therapy.

The PT didn't help them get more range of motion, just helped reduce some pain they were having.
I can hardly recall anyone having an MP3 player that wasn’t an iPod when I was young.

Other than that Sony and the Zune are all that I remember seeing and that was very rare.

There’s also the ecosystem to consider. Cars, gyms, hotels all started offering ways to connect an iPod. Accessories for iPods were everywhere.

Unless you're doing road work without signs that sounds like too many times to be hit by moving things for a lifetime.
I’ve also thought the same as you and wondered what the best way to achieve such a result would be. I think the best thing the city could do is eliminate on street parking. Not just free on street parking but on street parking entirely.

Every block gets a loading/unloading space, and the rest can be used for open restaurants and other people oriented uses.

In addition it will greatly reduce a lot of unnecessary driving.

And a congestion charge needs to be implemented ASAP to eliminate a lot of the driving across Manhattan which basically treats some of the worlds most expensive real estate as a glorified thoroughfare.
Ok but why not simply call send mail or mail fr scripts to send email? Why this extra hop?
Just last week, one of my friends was wringing her hands about the punishing drought in California. Could someone in charge of the weather please make up his/her/their minds?

Everyone talks about the weather-- but no one does anything about it!
Ah, what a cheap way trying to sneak your way out: “So your claim that I would restrict the liberties of others is not correct.” The crux here was your intention, and willingness, also you don’t even get to live your “because I say so” tendencies, because, as you wrote previously, it’s not being done in a repressive Puritan country anyway.

“ there's a completely non-arbitrary reason: to cover up private parts of a body.” and there you go again. You’re so entrenched in your “because I say so” mindset that you cannot even see how arbitrary this is.

Finally, you seem to have some major misconceptions about what science is. You demand to have absolute truth from the beginning, and that’s simply not how science works.
In addition, in my experience maintaining a developer tool, an outsized source of bug reports is Linux users reporting already fixed issues in their outdated distro packages, or even problems introduced by their packager (e.g. flatpak/snap permission problems). And they typically won’t identify the version despite clear instructions in the issue template asking for the debug output containing everything I need, including the version.
All these memey distress signals, like asking for “Angela”… are they actually adopted? Or do they just exist on the internet?
If you carry the string '2021-10-24' across countries borders, the moments in time that it represents change as well.

That makes doesn't make it a bad time interchange format for certain use cases, though. Just like everything else with time, one must be aware of caveats. Those include timezones, leap periods, culture, DST, formats, legislation (modern and ancient), etc.
>In a similar vein, I think the biggest value-add that Arch has over other distros is that it turns out having the filter of "can follow well written instructions through mildly tricky commands

What is the value of "is competent enough to copy paste commands from a wiki?". Honestly I think the best bug reports might be because some Linux users probably understand C/C++ and can understand crash reports and error messages because they understand the system.
I'm getting lots of emails. Most of them don't turn into calls because I cut off the process early. I want more than just coding in a corner in exchange for cash. It seems clear to me that the jobs are there if you want to be a coder, but it is tougher if you want some autonomy or authority.

So it all depends on what you want - if you want a coding job, fill out profiles on various sites and you'll get emails. If you want something else, you'll need to be more creative.
A really common use case that comes to mind immediately: parsing and AST transforms. Quite common in build tooling, quite noticeable performance difference as evidenced by SWC. (ESBuild doesn’t expose its AST, but it’s also quite a lot faster than comparable plain JS at what it does expose in its JS interface).
Just some anecdotes from an expat: My landlord is 80+ and cycles everywhere. My parents in law are 75+ and are about to get rid of their car altogether since they either cycle or take public transport. My aunt in law is close to 80 and changed from manual to electric bike a few years ago after a stroke.
I don't know the cause, this is based on the numbers they reported to defend their decision to exclude older chips.

I think it has something to do with the modern instruction sets being kinder to the kernel and the fact that on computers with recent processors certain processor features are enabled in the UEFI config by default more often, but I couldn't tell you which features that would be. My hunch is that I has to to with stuff like virtualisation based security and the like?
Ok, my bad, I misinterpreted your comment a bit, sorry about that.
