The same kind of people who brag about never taking a sick day or always working unpaid overtime.

If you do either of those things, absolutely fine, you have your reasons, but theres a certain kind of person who wears it like a badge of honour and will jump at the chance to tell you about it.

Not that I think they're bad people for it, just very odd, and not really someone I'd like to be.
I blame governments (and media) for telling business they can't stay open, people that they can't work, and otherwise going out of their way to make basic aspects of life and work as difficult and bureaucratic as possible.

None of this was happening before 2020, despite the constant economic/climate doom porn that this place and others had been engaging in.

It took explicit government action and massive propaganda to get us into the fuckery we are in today. It did not happen because of climate change or "unfettered capitalism".
I think it all pretty much boils down to:

- Roads are cheaper to lay and maintain than rails

- Roads are infinitely more flexible. You cannot walk, bicycle, or hold a parade on a railway track.

> People expect a company that's ramping up faster than any other in the history

Tesla was founded in 2002, during the same timespan Facebook became ubiquitous in our lives, Google became the homepage of the world and Amazon became the go-to place to make purchases.

Microsoft did even better between 1975-1995. The world was much larger and disconnected back then and yet they managed to became so ubiquitous to reach the monopoly status, such a dominance that the US government had to step in like they did with Standard Oil.

I commute to work daily . 25 miles back and forth and I am lucky if I see one Tesla .

After 20 years the company most successful and ubiquitous product is its stock
I wrote this [1] seven years ago and the future I feared is now here. I lucked out finding a 4K LG dumb TV about three years ago, but I've recently been trying to buy a larger screen for a new house and cannot find a single good, large, dumb TV for sale in the UK.

I'd like to think that if we declared a state of emergency, suspended all regulations and deployed a couple battalions of Seabees we could still build a port in a matter of months, rather than years.

I'd like to think we still have those kinds of capabilities if they were needed, but I'm increasingly not sure that we actually do.
We are talking about the first 6 months (I don't think your 6 month old will appreciate how much you were working that first 6 months).

I'm no history major but I am pretty sure woman have been as much the workers as men (think the gather component of hunter/gatherer).
When I worked at a national laboratory, it was always evident that research priorities lagged funding priorities. No scientific program director would allocate significant resources into an area that wasn't either already funded or practically guaranteed to be funded. I don't how NASA and JPL operate organizationally, how their budgetary decisions are made, but I would guess that no movement toward re-orienting around Starship (or any new commercial technology) will happen until funding agencies dictate that it happen.
Yeah, x86 is infamous for having a single, unique and consistent calling convention.

I guess Ryzen should be called "AMD Silicon" instead and any binary not compiled with at least `-march=znver1` features should be considered "Not having native support of AMD Silicon"

> It takes someone to come along and knowingly look for "ah ha, gotcha" loopholes in a system to exploit for their own advantage.

Obviously it's not a positive thing in this case, but there seems to be a lot in common with a hacker sort of mindset here. Figuring out loopholes in laws seems awfully similar on some level to figuring out how a piece of tech works and making it do goofy things the designers never thought of or intended.

Obviously, ethics enter into the equation, and there's a collection of things that are legal but unethical whether you're talking about legal loopholes or traditional hacking. Though given this discussion I'm able to think of more in the legal realm that's unethical.

Maybe we need an analog to red-teamers in the legal world. I guess that's a lawyer? A certain kind of lawyer anyway.
Falcon9 still throws away the second stage every time.

The idea of Starship being $10M is that it's fully reusable, so your marginal cost is only fuel/maintenance/launch.
Something changed which brought these errors on... I suspect it was an OS update. My usage habits did not change, and for the first few months I had none of these errors.
T-Mobile US is a funny example since they have been caught intercepting traffic for other DNS resolvers and silently responding with their own.

Oh nice fainlly a place to test my sandbox escapes... get ready to pwn!
I purchased a similar product from TCL, and for me cost was the main factor. It got a decent 4k TV for $500 because it is supported by ads and data collection. I don't keep it connected to the internet, and all of the content comes from my AppleTV. I am ok with it in my house even knowing the business model since I keep it offline. If they added a cellular modem I would reconsider.
Old timer who had an Apple II as a kid, and the experience I try to sneak into every class I teach is:

10 PRINT "John is Awesome";
20 GOTO 10

This little gem is the beginning of it all. Little me is understanding, okay, so if I'm willing to put in the time and thought, the machine will obey and I I have the literal power of infinity at my fingertips.
For #1 I’ve actually found it practically impossible to buy an equivalent consumer tv without “smart” features like this at any price. The only “dumb television” screens I have found are either large computer monitors or commercial panels with entirely different material tolerances and prices.
It is a similar innovation to “<anything> on the internet”, just inverted so “advertising on an <anything>”.
On the Samsung TVs I own, when you first set it up there's a yes/no agreement screen and if you choose "no" none of the smart features are accessible and you don't get any phoning home or ads by simply not entering Wi-Fi details. I haven't bought a new TV for a few years, though. So this may be different now, but the best way I found to create a dumb TV experience.

HTTPS is secure point to point. It's easy to make an HTTPS endpoint that displays your request via skywriter or whatever. There should be no guarantee or suggestion that having https along one part of the journey means the whole thing is secure (but you do/did get a lock icon in the browser).

Protection from MITM with HTTPS and TLS in general relies on certificate validation (or exotic key setup). Commonly used browsers do a good job (baring whatever security issues are found from time to time), but apps are mixed.

Sometimes they accept any certificate, from any issuer, including self-signed certificates. Sometimes, the certificate needs to match the domain, but any issuer is fine, including self-signed. Sometimes, the certificate needs to match the domain and be issued by a widely accepted CA. Sometimes, the certificate needs to be issued by one of a small list of issuers, but any domain is fine. Sometimes, the certificate needs a matching domain and be from a small list of issuers.

Also, not all apps check certificate expiration. There are a lot of ways to do it wrong here, so the app says https or uses port 443 or even wireshark shows TLS doesn't tell you much.
The warnings about MacOS are mostly being cautious, as I don't think anyone actually runs it in production.

I work with open source Hack code a lot, and I almost always use the MacOS binaries instead of Linux for development.

For my workflows, it's more that there's two major missing things - I'm not seeing random issues. The big things are:

- a lot of the profiling features are Linux-only

- the mcrouter extension is Linux-only. If you're using memcached, this extension is useful even without mcrouterd, as it provides a true async (Awaitable) client.
Isn't the best way to combat misinformation is with information? What are your sources?
It's always dangerous to generalise too much from your own experience. I had 6 weeks off when my son was born and would have taken more if it was possible. He didn't sleep or feed very well so my wife certainly could have used the extra support.

Now that my kid is nearly four I would also love more time off. How about more family friendly, or just less time-demanding, jobs in general?

[going off topic a bit it seems to me like post-Covid lockdown more and more people are looking for this, and are leaving jobs that can't provide it]
It's ironic how a comment about 'bikeshedding' spawns five comments in the span of twenty minutes.
I experimented with 1.1.1.3 on a small network segment by configuring DHCP to make 1.1.1.3 the default. I found that they resulted in numerous false-positives that turned out to be a real nuisance. As I went around to various machines and either overrode the DHCP settings with another DNS and/or added lines to the hosts file, I decided that just because you _can_ use DNS for content filtering, doesn't mean it's a particularly effective modality.

Cloudflare does have a tool that allows you to correct false positives...
https://radar.cloudflare.com/categorization-feedback/
But I found that the corrections I made were ignored with only one exception. The one I successfully corrected took many attempts over several weeks.

I ended up throwing in the towel on the whole thing and giving up on Cloudflare DNS altogether. That's not to say that others couldn't find value in it. I just found it to be more trouble than it was worth.
Good luck to these robots on the next king day.
United States issues its first passport with 'X' gender marker
Interesting. I think the technology is not that expensive. But it was banned because uncontrolled x-ray dose is harmful to human body.
1. No, chassis don't pollute. The CARB standards on trucks have nothing to do with the ports. Moreover, those CARB standards are adopted by 16 other states including Oregon and Washington. So your uncited 40% get nowhere near a West Coast port.

2. No, that wasn't 'CA regs'. It was a local Long Beach ordinance. And it was for empties. And it was never a problem before but as soon as Flexport CEO Ryan Petersen brought it up, Long Beach issued an emergency variance [1], like within a day. FWIW, the Seattle Fire Department has the same two high regulation.

3. There are a lot more points in the supply chain that use labor and that have been affected by COVID than container crane operators. It is a complex issue [4].

>They did one test launch where the FAA inspector wasn't there.

You are being deliberately misleading with this statement. You say that as if SpaceX accidentally launched while the inspector was in the bathroom. When in reality the FAA explicitly told SpaceX not to launch BEFORE the launch. And that doing so would be a violation of their launch license. The fact that the FAA reviewed the situation and then allowed to continue kind of proves the parents point.
I wonder why we don't implement a Georgist tax on 80%-100% of the value of a patent to discourage patent hoarding and incentivize building on top of patents held. The intellectual property market would become a lot more efficient and productive.
Well, priorities change over time. It's important to be a whole person, and that should mean a healthy family life as well
What makes Moneyball a fascinating example is neither Brad Pitt's star-power nor Michael Lewis's writing. Baseball is an optimal canvas for finding market inefficiencies because everything is tallied and tracked. We can ascertain after the fact who ultimately did add value to their organizations.

In this case, the author argues what Billy Beane argued, "if we think like the Yankees in here, we will lose to them out there." If non-FAANG companies compete for the same prospective employees as FAANG employees, they will lose to vastly superior compensation packages. Fair enough.

So the question, which traits are analogous to on-base-percentage? Take the FAANG-hire-resume, then subtract features (e.g. lose the top-10 university credential, remove a couple years of experience, ditch the years with a trendy package, etc). Which decreases the hiring cost the most with the smallest loss of long-term value to the hiring company? What data set would track/measure this and what could be deployed as a proxy?
I'm not sure I follow why this would be a big deal. There are already ad filtering DNS resolvers and most people are better served by a browser extension.

You don't have to keep taking the drug, I agree. But the doctor will give you another instead, and if the dysfunction continues it will be assumed to be a "temporary" symptom of the subsequent drug like it was with the old drug.

You won't go "cold turkey" to see if things go back to normal unless you fire the psychiatrist because frankly, in America at least, psychiatrists are pill pushers and, unless you are wealthy and will pay out of pocket, you will only get insurance covered talk therapy with a cheaper psychologist or social worker.

Psychiatrist are often only there for quick discussions about medication. The time intensive talk therapy is done by someone less expensive. In my area psychiatrist will often partner with therapy practices and only handle the drug side of things. If someone stops taking drugs, there would be no reason to see the psychiatrist.
The Learning Path to GraphQL for Fullstack Developers
STM32MP1 is a good example of your hybrid idea - it combines a Cortex A7 Linux application-side stack with an STM32 Cortex-M4 based microcontroller on the same SoC.

This is very useful for running hard realtime tasks on the microcontroller and "control" / GUI / application-stack intensive tasks on the Linux side, as you suggest.

With that said, all this does for toy OS development is makes it more complicated.

I think what you are looking for for your use cases might really be just an RTOS on a microcontroller with some provided driver blocks. Take a look at ESP32 as well :)
I once wrote my daughter a similar BASIC program…she immediately changed it to her sisters name and wrote “S is stupid” and said “see, the computer said so so it must be true.”

I tried to reach her programming but she schooled me in AI-hype.
No, not personally. I eventually was able to come off the medication. Took a couple of weeks to get back to some semblance of normal but I'm sure there's permanent damage still.

That said, it's not easy to walk away from suicidal depression (and attempts to commit suicide) without a decent helping of trauma, and potentially even PTSD. So, of course, there isn't really a 'normal' to go back to once you've got the awareness of that and how far down the rabbit hole you fell. Normal becomes something else.
>The average JavaScript library for handling video resolutions and full-screen mode switching is about 600 KB. It’s a small overhead for a 15 minute+ video. However, it’s way too much for a short animation or a minute-long presentation.

I would argue it shouldn't even need JS in the first place.

But then again Youtube solves that problem for you with practically zero code.
A lot of people believe this (gender essentialism/determinism, evo-psych), but it's still a rare opinion relatively speaking. Mildly interesting but not worth getting upset over (or a Fortune.com piece).
Hey! I'm going to copy & paste a similar question that our CEO answered:

---

Q: why use blockchain key pairs under the hood? what’s the actual use case for that?

A:
CEO of Magic here!
Instead of usernames and passwords, Magic uses blockchain-based public and private keys to authenticate users under the hood. A decentralized identifier is signed by the private key to generate a valid authentication token that can be used to verify user identity.

Traditionally, usernames are publicly recognizable identifiers that help pinpoint a user, whereas passwords are secrets that were created by the user and are supposed to be something only they know.

You can think of public and private keys as materially improved versions of usernames and passwords. The public key is the identifier and the private key is the secret. Instead of being created by users and prone to human error (e.g. weak/reused passwords), the key pair is generated via elliptic curve cryptography that has proven itself as the algorithm used to secure immense value sitting on mainstream blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Using blockchain key pairs for authentication gives Magic native compatibility with blockchain, supporting over a dozen of blockchains. This enables blockchain developers to use Magic SDK to provide user-friendly onboarding experiences to mainstream users and tap into the potential of the rapidly expanding blockchain industry that is growing 56.1% year over year and projected to reach $69.04 billion by 2027.

The key pairs are also privacy-preserving (no personally identifiable information) and exportable. This allows user identity to be portable and owned by users themselves (self-sovereignty). The world is already moving towards this direction with novel solutions from companies like Workday and Microsoft.

As a first step, we are committed to enabling a passwordless future, by providing developers with the easiest way to integrate passwordless login methods into their apps, but having blockchain key-pairs actually connects us to other future-proof infrastructure such IPFS for decentralized user identity data storage, which will pave the way towards worldwide adoption of decentralized identity.

Let me know if this helps!
Maybe not everyone. JSC community strongly opposed much of the ISS rework (they were designing something that required 40 hours of spacewalks a week), opposed Shuttle C (which seemed completely illogical given the work base), and as far as projects like DC-XA... I was in Bldg. 30 watching its amazing flight and when it caught fire and fell over, the combined contractor and MCC staff cheered and broke out in applause.

Perhaps it's changed, but not sure how relevant many of them would be in a Starship world.
From what I heard, the real issue is the ships are not bringing these containers back, because: 1. there's not so much good for US to export (volume-wise); 2. shipping price is so high that to save time, ships do not wait to load empty containers.

As long as US has a net import of containers, whatever buffer created will be filled up soon.

Don't know that we can really read contemporary understanding of the word black into this quote. I think given the context of England at the time, as well as the description of his family background, it is very unlikely that he was black.
Wayland is a protocol specifically for compositing window managers, the point of it was to simplify the implementation of window managers that already existed as X compositors, e.g. Mutter, KWin, Enlightenment. If other window managers weren't doing that then it wouldn't really make sense to port them to Wayland, because that entails also redesigning them as a compositor. I know many older X window managers never bothered to implement a compositor and just recommended people use compiz, compton, picom, etc.

Someone could build a compatibility layer based on picom or something, and that has been talked about for a while, but I don't think it will happen unless somebody funds it with some real dollars. And I'm skeptical of whether people using those window managers would even pay for it at all, based on the comments here it seems they would rather put the money towards keeping Xorg alive.
UTF-8 existed 25 years ago, but in Plan9.
We will probably have to agree to disagree on that. The cost at a technical university in Sweden, to the society is about USD 10 k/year [1]. MIT is 77 k/year [2]. MIT is ranked first in the world. KTH (89) and Chalmers (121) in Sweden are ranked top 10% in the listed 1300 [3]

Is it better for society to get a decent education for a low cost, for society as a whole? It seems to work for Sweden, and many other European countries. [4]

I agree with what you're saying - hydrogen propulsion will make the most difference for large fleets over long distances. Right now, in the pacific northwest BC Ferries and Washington State ferries are moving to electrify their fleets. The crossing distances of these boats are much larger (The most popular BC ferries route looking to be more than 20x longer). As I recall, the procurement process for these much larger boats that go much further distances didn't include all battery (because the weight/space would have been prohibitive) or hydrogen electric (because the technology is too immature).

I don't think it's reasonable to be experimenting with new technologies on 200 car ferries so even if hydrogen is not the ideal use case for this crossing, I'm excited to see this technology build a track record so it becomes a more feasible option for the large scale where it does make sense.
This rings very true for me as well. Family time never feels wasted but staying up all those extra hours to ship better code never seems to be worth it in the end.

Same on my LG OLED with latest WebOS. It starts with the six buttons on my remote for Disney, Netflix, Prime, etc that also immediately install the associated app [even when earlier uninstalled] when accidentally touched and cannot be remapped. Next, on the home screen you're always greeted with a list of movies from all those streaming services without the ability to turn this list off.
Long enough for the network effect to take root in many countries. IIRC, it was at least 1-2 years in Israel and other countries, and today WhatsApp is ubiquitous there. J2ME apps showed up on a few smartphones too.
