"The chief executive of the Harbor Trucking Assn., which represents the trucking companies dealing with these issues every day, says that any little bit helps, but the measure doesn't change all that much. For one thing, allowing the stacks to climb higher doesn't guarantee they'll do so.

"“I applaud Mayor Garcia for taking some leadership in all this, but the challenge is procuring the equipment to stack that high,” Matt Schrap said. Most yards don’t have the top loaders necessary, let alone the skilled operator and space to safely and efficiently stack containers.

"The real issue, Schrap says, is just that the shipping companies won’t take their empty containers back: “The ocean carriers need to come sweep out the empties.” Adding insult to injury, the ocean carriers bill truckers a late fee every day for unreturned empty containers, Schrap said, even if they won’t accept them at the port. “It makes you want to pick up your laptop and Frisbee it out into the backyard,” Schrap said. “That’s the frustration running through our veins.”"

But yes, "Bureaucracy and red tape abounds. We need to let the free market work".

"Local politicians are betting that a new fee on containers idling at the docks — charged to the ocean shipping companies themselves — will get some boxes moving. Starting in November, any container meant for a truck that sits at either port for more than nine days will incur a $100 fee, followed by escalating fees of $100 more each day. If a container is meant to go on a train, those fees kick in after just six days on the dock.

"But the new fee doesn't apply to empty containers. Schrap, the Harbor Trucking Assn. chief executive, said that he was baffled by the omission. The reason that pickup slots are going unused is the empty containers taking up space on the back of trucks, he said. "This fee is a shot across the bow at the ocean carriers because they need them to be engaged," Schrap said, "but it's mind-boggling to me that this is not being applied to empty containers.""

So, ... yeah.
Wow the demo video looks amazing. I'm a programmer, but coding that would take much longer than those few clicks.

I wonder if you could use a "standard" REST backend as a data source?

You lose the ability to use raw SQL queries, but then you could use this for any API and use the full CRUD with whatever actions and safeguards the server has programmed.

Specifically, I'm thinking about feathersjs with it's hooks instead of just accessing the database directly.
Perhaps we need more specialization but I remember the time before these kind of tools and I hated it.

I’m a lazy person and I absolute love tools. Tools like Docker helped me never have to solve other people’s complex environment problems again. I love metric reporting tools like Prometheus because it helps me front problems before they become weekend emergencies. I use a paid Git GUI so I can fix complex Git problems without ever making a mistake.
You never had enough issues to abandon it? I always see and hear people with frozen laptops while using excel to edit their database.

While Google Wave obviously wasn't able to catch on from a product perspective, its tech DNA is in every real-time collaborative work/productivity app released in the last decade – Google Docs, Quip, OneNote, Slack, Figma, Notion. Loop is just next in line, and from what I can see doesn't bring anything crazy new to the table.
I'm so scared of my certificate renewal script. It's really cool and sends me a summary via email of the executed tasks and runs automatically every month. But when I look at the code I don't know what the hell I was thinking when I wrote it.

I mean, it even fetches the certificates prior to renewing them and then re-fetches them afterwards in order to make sure that the servers are actually using the new ones.
> A few problems in, I noticed him pause when starting on a new problem, and after a brief moment, he wrote down an answer without any intermediate steps or work.

Isn't that pretty frequent for high school work? I'm not a genius, far from it, but I spent a big part of high school writing down solutions and being bothered by the professors to write the steps (that's how I felt at the time, I've since understood why they acted that way).

> You now ask me to now invoke my title insurance

That's not how it works (at least where I live, US state of Texas). I, having bought from you, would be responsible to have my own title insurance policy. Your policy would have essentially ended when you sold the home. It protects you during your ownership. ANd my policy would protect me during my ownership. Once sold, and title transfers (whether legit or not), you as the seller have no liability (mostly, I'm sure if you committed fraud or something you could be on the hook along with other criminal issues, but my insurance is still going to pay me if I experience a loss of my purchase). So...

> "No, be that as it may, once you 'sold' the house we're off the hook; tell the guy who 'bought' it from you to contact their title insurance company"

Yes, that's exactly what they would say. It's also why it's customary for the seller to purchase the title policy for the buyer during the transaction. Although, it's a hot market the seller could have the power to deny and the buyer would have to buy their own policy.

While you owned the property at some point in time, you never experienced a loss from the title issue because you sold before the title issue was known. Your liability also ended the moment you sold the property. It's always the CURRENT owner that needs protection.
Although I don't care, I will point some people have very strong brand attachments to toilet paper. And maybe you were a psycho who brought single-ply to a house with a sewer or ultra-stuffed to a house with a septic.
I know hotels owners that have restricted anyone from staying at the hotel long enough to qualify as a tenant (usually ~30 nights). So due to these moratoria, everyone now has to depart prior to 30 nights and stay somewhere else because otherwise the hotel will literally be unable to remove a non paying and likely even problematic person from their property for the foreseeable future in some states.

I saw a video of one guy threatening hotel staff who the cops would not forcibly remove and the courts are not requiring it because it was not deemed threatening enough. He is still in the room months after the incident, not paying, with the individual hotel owners and staff eating the cost.
I thought Cambridge, MA has a great system — the first $250k of any property value is tax free (or at least it was 10 years ago), and property taxes then only go above that. It had the effect of making property taxes cheap for small home, allowing lower income people to have more affordable housing over the long term.
For anyone else who'd rather read than watch this video, here's the transcript (from YT's auto-generated captions): https://pastebin.com/8UrFftM6
"My experience has shown that a very cohesive team who like and appreciate each other, but is made of middle-ability individuals is much, much more productive to my measure as the boss than a team comprised of high-ability, but un-cohesive (non-cohesive?) individuals."

Very much this - to an extent, you need some deep-divers in places but the non-cohesive teams, I find, end up with a similar performance but lower levels of employee satisfaction.

Having worked in a variety of settings and witnessing varying levels of team performance within those, this is what I, personally, have come to believe is true.
IS this a ui library or something?

Who it's shifted on and how it's passed on depends on the kind of tax.

If you impose a tax on buildings, that gets shifted onto tenants. If its a tax on land (ie, the rental value of the location), the landlord has to eat it and it gets fully capitalized into the price, which means the landlord can't pass that on to the tenants and it actually brings the price of the land and rents down. There's a long string of empirical studies that back up this finding, the latest being this one out of Denmark:

Actually way the background updater is done is much better than most. eg Instead of running its own downloader process, it uses the Windows BITS service to download updates.

People often confuse this feature with the Mozilla Maintenance Service, the latter has shipped with Firefox for more than a decade and is used to avoid UAC prompts during updates.

(I used to work at Mozilla and at one point also worked on the team that owns install/update.)
> However, tmux waits for the remote server to send the new screen contents which somewhat defeats the purpose of Mosh. Mosh removes any latency by not waiting for the remote server, but using scrollback through tmux adds that latency back in.

I don’t follow. Is this user running mosh inside a tmux session rather than running tmux inside the remote shell?

I don’t see how tmux adds latency back in.
You're correct regarding the original Docs implementation. I had thought that the rewrite (launched around 2010 or possibly 2011) was primarily based on the architecture of Sheets. But it's possible there was some Wave heritage I'm unaware of.

Normally the cost of cognitive dissonance in tech is $200k/yr. Pay that and you will have a line out your door and around the block of engineers who want to work for you, no matter what you do.

Fortunately Facebook pays for the Cognitive Dissonance Deluxe package which is about $250k-$400k year. They've got plenty of padding to mislead their employees right to their face.
I don't think Microsoft owns Electron...
> How is shifting the burden to landlords via moratoria different from shifting the burden to landlords via tax increases?

In the case of a moratorium, the landlord takes an immediate, complete, revenue hit. In the case of tax increases, the landlord pays something extra, spread out over both time and the taxed population.

It's like the difference between not getting a paycheck and having your rent go up.
WebKit and Blink have diverged quite substantially at this point and have several large differences. One is that WebKit is more geared toward embedding in applications using whatever UI framework and language whereas Blink is more married to Chromium.

Firefox configs like you mention are possible only because of custom userchrome, which Mozilla has indicated intent to remove sooner than later.
That’s how I handle visits back home. TV off, unless it’s sports or movies, and if one of them brings up anything political, I slam the brakes with, “So-and-so, you know that I love you, right?”

“Well, yes…”

“What have I said about talking about politics with people I love?”

“That you don’t.”

(Looking very forward to a frank conversation with my dad about his apparent need to keep a loaded handgun in his nightstand before we bring our toddler to visit, by which I mean, “actively dreading”)
The question is also what's the cost of troubleshooting the lambda service going down 3 times. 10x more expensive and reliable can be a good trade.
It is a HUGE improvement.

I used the publicly available fluid preview for a while and it is miles better using word for any kind of collaboration. I have since gone back to using Word for collaboration and I despise it. I feel like pulling hairs off my scalp.

I would say it is a competent new tool that gives you everything that notion did, while leveraging the kind of integration microsoft already goes well. The improvement is particularly noticeable not just because the product is good, but because what it replaces (word online) was so incredibly bad.

Disclosure - I would put a disclosure about my employer here, but don't want to be seen publicly bad mouthing another actively maintained product by my company.

Firstly, it wouldn't necessarily shift as much burden onto landlords, depending on the tax. The burden would be spread around all earners if it were an income tax hike, or all consumers for a sales tax or VAT. The extent to which it does affect landlords, rent subsidies would more than compensate.

Secondly, how much landlords pay in tax is less relevant than what incentives the policy sets up. On the part of landlords, eviction moratoria incentivise not renting to higher-risk tenants at all. Higher taxes + rent subsidy would have the opposite effect, with more reason to rent to high risk tenants, and renting out properties that might be marginal otherwise.

I don't know all the details of this, obviously, but this sort of policy analysis is much more about how it shifts incentives on the margin, rather than who pays more and who pays less.
Or they could reveal the connection with the robots at a later stage, the way Asimov did, while pretending the series are not that much connected.
Neural Magic | Machine Learning Engineer, Full Stack Engineer, Product Manager, ML Ops Engineer | Somerville, MA | https://www.neuralmagic.com

Neural Magic is a software company challenging the notion that specialized hardware like GPUs is needed for Deep Learning inference. We have created novel technologies that sparsify and quantize deep learning networks and allow them to run on commodity CPUs – at GPU speeds and better. Data scientists no longer have to compromise on model design and input size or deal with scarce and costly GPU resources. Their ground-breaking discovery became the foundation of Neural Magic. Having just closed our 30M Series A (https://neuralmagic.com/blog/neural-magic-series-a/), we are expanding our team and hiring across most disciplines.

Some of our recent work has focused on compressing vision systems like YOLO and NLP systems like BERT.

Non primary is one thing - but perhaps the thing that needs to be gone after is commercial residential (as in, if you have more than x properties). Or commercial ownership of single family homes. There is a difference between owning a 10 unit apartment and owning 10 single family homes.
I'm not sure I can visualize what you mean by a DOM Editor, would love it if you can expand on that.

The JSON format allows us to only specify the main type/value of each block, while giving full flexibility on how to render them. I think there are several approaches to rich text editing out there, we picked this one because it seemed to be the most flexible and portable, as we need to invent our own types of standard "blocks", like columns, containers, etc.

Not sure if this answers your question though, happy to go deeper if you have more thoughts on it.
I tend to agree with the green dude :|

It's normal to have a production service replicated on 2 availability regions.

The green guy is annoying, because reality is annoying, and reliability is not about luck, but is about a properly calibrated and tested process.

Yes, you need to write monitoring, you cannot run only with "hope".

Yes it sucks that a DC can go down. Your particular service is not important if it's down, but having a copy of the production data is essential in case of a catastrophe.

Except for the tests that are probably unnecessary, everything else seems to make sense.

The peer bonuses are an issue though.
Facebook is shutting down its facial recognition capabilities
Hard to say, but I can at least speak to contributions from a lack of government expertise mixed with private corruption. I've seen this in my own local government.

Generally no one employed by the city knows how to look at an expense report from a construction job and check it for plausibility; this allows some outrageous pricing for things like a few tons of bricks. Sometimes they'll hire a consultant to check the books, but often that consultant is chummy with the contractor.

In other countries where government is trusted a bit more, it's much more normal to have an engineer and a construction project manager on staff to look at a report and tell you you're getting bilked.
It was nice to see Nortel mentioned in the article because I did my "gap year" at Bell Northern Research/Standard Telephones & Cables Ltd (R&D arm of Northern Telecom) back in the 90s and there were several of these SPARCbooks that the Meridian folks used to take with them on remote jobs. I was a mere youngster "helping" to write C code to convert Nortel switch signalling into OSI-standard CMIS. I never got to use one of the SPARCbooks of course but for that year I had an incredible SPARCstation IPX and learned so much from all the crusty old telco engineers. Great post about the SPARCbooks and what a great purchase!

The maintenance service is used to prevent the need for UAC prompts during upgrades. That's it. No background update functionality.
Absolutely. Brew manages pyenv, pyenv manages Python versions, venv manages Python packages / projects. Has been very reliable for the last decade or so, with my only complaint being the need for special linker flags when installing a new Python (homebrew openssl path etc), esp if doing an `--enable-optimizations` build (which I definitely recommend in the long run).

brew install pyenv
pyenv install 3.9.7
cd ~/myproject
pyenv local 3.9.7
python3.9 -m venv --upgrade-deps .venv
source ./.venv/bin/activate

You're off to the races. (I think I got that --upgrade-deps flag right.)

This is the first of its kind I recall seeing in GovCloud (customer for a few years now), but given their clientele I wouldn't be surprised if its very high priority.
From a humorous perspective, how should US pronounce "wash" from a Wisconsin accent (sounds like "warsh"). Or how to pronounce "car" or "bar" from a Boston accent. (sounds like "cah" and "bah") Southern's in the US say "ant/aint" instead of "aunt". And what about "y'all"? etc, etc...

Maybe there is similarities with the varied UK accents?
Switching from Google to Microsoft - what a choice! :)
So 11,706 Tesla vehicles have installed 'LSD' instead of 'FSD' and now their neural networks are all messed up and the software was acting funny.

Even before that, it is no wonder the reports of this FSD beta had the software mistaking a yellow traffic light with the moon or one nearly driving straight into a wall. Oh dear.

Now that it is fixed, perhaps we need to discuss having an equivalent for 'hugops' for releasing bad system software updates (especially safety critical ones) and the rush from the developers to fix it.
I like it, mostly, though it's probably because I didn't like the only one Foundation book I managed to finish some 30 years back. At that time I had already consumed a lot of SF books by well known authors and although I loved Asimov in his short novels, non sci fi novels and science books, found his longer works very hard to digest.
My approach to this series is therefore sort of clean, I didn't even remember what the main plot was about, so to me is just a new series, and producers doing the usual Hollywood treatment by rewriting characters with gender, sexual orientation and ethnic differences in mind looks pretty normal to me; I don't expect studios to produce in the future anything inspired by old novels without this treatment.
Same. I do not have any nostalgia for when you had to say into machines and run scripts. Please no.
FWIW Roblox was created in '04 and launched in '06, Myspace peaked '05-'09.
That's a funny spelling of "Roblox".
Even if the hardware is only what is spec'd in the Open Source model, the model itself has a lot of complexity for bugs to hide in. Those bugs might be intentional, they might not be. The same obviously goes for software.

Even really-high-profile open-source security suites have seen critical bugs that have been around for many years. Being open source is a good start but it's hardly sufficient to guarantee anything about the supply chain. The opposite may actually be true in some cases.
Why did you want to run IE in Linux? This is just closed source google chrome with MS spyware and some UI changes and MS popups.
Maybe what I'm suggesting isn't what you had in mind.

The fix for glfw is to manually promote to an appropriate unsigned type, to override the potentially UB-inducing default signed promotion. Since that potentially UB-inducing default can't change now, I was suggesting a warning for it.

It would be an aggressive warning and would probably trigger on a lot of existing code, but honestly, I would enable it for all new code. I really dislike the promotion logic in C.

What does the cronjob do? Start some service that listens for inbound connections? Or are you talking more about daemons that do some set of work every interval?
The greater cause for concern is the fact that the whistleblower submitted a report to the FDA which was ignored, and was then fired in retaliation. That suggests the possible presence of systemic weaknesses with much broader impact beyond Ventavia.

The inability to swab 477 trial participants to test for SARS-CoV-2 infection is also pretty bad given that confirmed symptomatic cases of COVID were the metric used to establish the efficacy numbers in the trial.
OP's comment makes sense if you assume BlackRock is going to continue gobbling up properties at current prices & rates - but is there any evidence to support that?

If BlackRock doesn't continue to gobble up homes at current prices & rates - then his argument falls apart.

Does anyone have evidence that BlackRock is STILL buying properties en masse?
Most of my dumb eBay purchases are made when I should be sleeping. Hmm...

Maybe relatively, but it was what was on-hand (in jail) and by itself it was more than interesting enough to get me to begin reading the series in order when I got the chance.
You do realize that using systemd-networkd/systemd-resolved is entirely optional, right?

Most of the issues you raise sound like you simply didn't want to investigate in depth even though you knew you had an exotic setup.
