Nice work!

I wish this had at least one more problem that it could highlight: synchronization using sleep() without atomics. A call to sleep() isn't guaranteed to flush cache and so the classic problem is that you could have two threads waiting on a bool and neither of them seeing updates from the other thread.

I don't buy Lakoff's idea that meaning is fundamentally metaphorical. For one thing, it fails to account for our ability to judge the aptness of a given metaphor. There's a book, Understanding Figurative Language, that makes a critique along these lines.
Perhaps you are unaware of the nature of global arms control and how much work goes in to prevent scenarios exactly like this.

Small arms proliferation is much harder to control, but yes there has been extensive reporting on Operation Fast and Furious where US gun sellers were allowed to sell to Mexican cartels under ATF supervision. [0] Those guns were used against both US and Mexican citizens, including fatally against 1 US Border Patrol Agent in 2010.

Looking farther back, during the Falklands war in the early 80s there was much controversy over the Exocet anti-ship missile, which was manufactured and sold by France. When these missiles were successfully used against British warships near the Falklands, Britian successfully lobbied for France to stop selling them to the Argentinians.[1]

So yes, it's actually very common to put the responsibility of how their products are used on arms manufacturers. It's a good thing and it keeps the world safer.

You are asking way too much of people. "Normal" people can't fulfill any of those 3 requests. Not that they don't want to (most don't), or that they aren't taught to (this is conflicting through life)

Ask HN: Any new company-backed operating systems?
I love low level kernel/OS stuff but loathe the operating systems we have today. Windows, Linux, and BSD are heavily rooted in principles we designed 30+ years ago. These weren't designed with the requirements we have today - like configuration management for servers, live security upgrades, mitigating CPU flaws to name a few. POSIX has served us well but we could probably come up with something much better if we tried.

I want to see something radically different. Whether it's for desktops or microcontrollers I don't mind.

I'm aware of a few hobby projects such as SerenityOS which are cool but still very 'inside the box' in terms of design and don't really have any backing.

> It's the same codebase AFAIK, just ported to multiple kernels.

Presumably plenty of the code is specific to Windows.

Docker/Linux works by using various features of the Linux kernel to, well, contain, containers. As I understand it this is in contrast to BSD Jails and Solaris Zones, where the whole job is done 'officially' by the kernel.

> In context I believe the parent is contrasting unikernel on hypervisor to container on kernel, seeing one coarse privilege boundary in both cases, reducing the obvious benefits of a unikernel design.

Good point.

First, he called himself Legoheld and then he tried to trademark that name and his logo, specifically an image trademark for any visualization containing a 4x2 or 2x2 brick.

Nah epic game store has many huge and obvious flaws.

The reviews interface is just links to other websites with little aggregate data. The library does this thing where it greys out uninstalled games making it really hard to identify them. It crashes a lot. The social features aren't as well developed.

Was ready to jump on this as FUD, but the article does make a few valid observations, even if they don't do enough to justify the sensationalist headline and thesis.

> Consider whether American culture and society actively demand proper job training and education that facilitates meaningful work. Frankly, it's the opposite: American culture and society are notoriously anti-intellectual and market-oriented. Every institution has profit as its fundamental driver, and education is not above this. When this is coupled with the general social attitude in America that chastises the educated or those interested in obtaining a better education, one cannot help but be pessimistic on whether or not the millions of workers who left their place of work are being sufficiently trained or educated to attain meaningful work.

I think it's a valid social critique that neither U.S. institutions nor its "culture" sufficiently supports widespread retraining of workers seeking to uplevel from less skilled work.

> The sectors hit the hardest by the Great Resignation also consist of the most readily-automatable jobs. There's very little chance in the short-term that many will return to working for service and retail jobs—even with astounding benefit offers, these jobs still aren't being filled. But the demand for these industries is quite high, giving them all the more reason to speed up automating such jobs.

I'm really unsure of how much of these service and retail jobs are easily automatable.

> Unfortunately, institutions are not likely to reorient themselves toward helping Americans find meaningful work. What is more likely is that only a select few already hyper-educated workers will reap the benefits of the Great Resignation.

I think it's certainly true that tech workers on places like Hacker News are more likely to be those "hyper-educated" enough to benefit from the Great Resignation, in contrast to those who would be left behind by it.

> Suppose these jobs are swiftly automated, and anti-intellectualism retains its predominance in American life

The former is a dubious supposition, and the latter is likely to continue but it's more of a broad social critique than anything actionable, sadly.

Not 100% sure since don't use those apps, I actually pay for privacy.com to obfuscate what the money was spent on so my bank doesn't know either in it's budgeting view. But if you don't do that I think budgeting apps should be able to work, since the merchant name is passed through in the transaction metadata. Bank of America correctly categorized transactions before I disabled this, so I imagine your other apps might work.
You articulated a real concern of mine. At the end of the day, literally everything I set out to do seems to turn into a programming problem. Trying to get healthy? Better find the exact right diet and workout routine. Learning guitar? Better find the exact combination of scales and chords to practice.

And like every programming problem, it's only fun until I find the answer. Then it becomes maintenance work, slotted alongside all of the five million other tasks I have to keep up with: Doomed to be ignored, dismissed, or otherwise forgotten about.

I realize there is a serious flaw in my approach to building good habits. The way to circumvent it is by decoupling process from results, and finding joy in the mere act of doing.

Still, it's so hard to do when trying to improve at something. The urge to optimize is pervasive.

There's a trivial explanation. If you're Chinese, you gotta be really smart, the top 1% smart, to immigrate into the US. This is also why Nigerian immigrants do so well here. The original European immigrants passed a similar test, as it takes a lot of courage and ambition to move across the ocean in a big wooden boat. But as you know the history, on one occasion, the admission process was violated, and since then America has been paying the price. The price has to be paid in full, for every cause has to be compensated with a result. Call it nation-scale karma, if you want.
Yeah it's definitely a vocal minority. I bet there is next to no drop in traffic on youtube or in ad revenue. For youtube it's probably a public opinion win.
So can we let skilled tradesmen immigrate then?
Shadowbanning is pretty useless for spammers, the pain they receive by getting one of their hundred bot accounts made invisible is nothing compared to the pain the real person gets.

Google street view is not illegal. People just have the right to request that Google blurs their house. And because so many people requested it in Germany, Google said it's too much effort and disabled it completely. They still drive through Germany and collect images to improve their navigation services.

Also, I don't understand the discussion: Why is limiting free speech contradicting privacy efforts?
Allowing people to prevent that their house being displayed on the internet is completely independent of stopping people writing racist slurs on the internet.

In Germany it's not about some extremist scalar ideology of freedom or control. You have basic rights and in daily life the rights of people collide.

In the case of Google Street view, there is the right of Google to choose their work (Art. 12 GG) vs. the right for privacy (derived from Art. 2 Abs. 1 GG) of people. Courts then have to follow a defined procedure to weigh those rights against each other. Apparently, it was ruled that the additional effort of blurring does not hinder Google's right to follow its occupation.

In the case of NetzDG (the law which enforces big social platform to delete criminal posts, such as racial slurs, which you probably refer to), you have the right of free speech of the poster (Art. 5 GG) and the right of human dignity of the guy who receives human dignity. Additionally, Art. 5 GG defines boundaries for free speech:

"These rights shall find their limits in the provisions of general laws, in provisions for the protection of young persons and in the right to personal honour. (Art. 5 Abs. 2 GG)."

I learned how the constitution works in detail in uni, and I think it's beautiful. To me, this is a recipe to have a healthy democratic society. And a democratic society has to be able to defend itself against anti-democratic, racists. Otherwise, it'll just collapse sooner or later.

This. A thousand times. I'm an oldster -- and no, 40 is not old. My vision varies from dead sharp to blurry depending on eye fatigue, probably blood sugar levels, and how my rather large floaters are behaving. But by the end of a day of reading, it's almost guaranteed that my eyes will be blurry from fatigue and age-related stiffness, complicated by that modern-day miracle -- replacement lenses for cataracts. As a consequence, reading any light text on dark background when my eyes are blurry is just a mess of haloing. The haloing bleeds three or four lines above and below the line I am reading, creating a big fuzzy mess that's annoying and hard to read.

To be clear when I mention floaters, I don't mean the little black squigglies that everyone experiences at any age. Rather mine are more like floating but not completely un-anchored translucent blurs that move right when my eyes move left. I suspect mine are Weiss rings.

Know that all that time you spent choosing a font color that is one-level of gray removed from invisible ink will never be enjoyed by me. I've overridden the the default font and font color in my browser to be a nice large, heavy, mono-spaced black font. When my eyes are fresh, yeah, I can read your 300-weight pseudo-invisible ink just fine, but it flatly irritates me, hence the overrides. And right click inspect is my boon companion when reading any page too-trendily designed.

If you're less than 40, it's hard to appreciate how age changes one's eyes. So if you're a youngster, have a bit of sympathy for us old folks when choosing color schemes. Or don't. I'm happy you can do creative, and that those of us with less-than-youthful vision can make adjustments. Best of both worlds.
The R number is a complex beast. When viruses reproduce they are in race with their own death - the immune system is in a counter race, to neutralise all loose virus particles in the blood and to kill all the cells making particles. If you have been vaccinated or have survived the virus you will mostly have a mild case, your immune system wins. A person with no vaccination or immunity has to raise his immune antigen levels ASAP to be able to kill new viruses and the cells that make them so he quells the infection. If not, he is at risk of death. Death via Covid comes in many ways. All the antigenic warfare creates a huge burden of dead cells, fragmented viruses and cellular innards - all in the blood stream creating many destructive situations. You may have heard of the Covid cascade, a cytokine storm induced by the interactions of these cellular by products.
https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanres/article/PIIS2213-2...

I said earlier that the virus was in a race, well it is, and it is a badly run and badly maintained factory. If the viral RNA used only perfect virus parts, and used them in the exact numbers needed for every stage - all the viruses would be infective. In truth, some people say less that 10% of the viruses made are correctly made and are infective - this varies with the virus. Measles virus make infective virus particles over 90% of the time = a very high R0, almost 20.
A virus below 1 will die out. The first covid was about 2 to 2.5. The new Delta variant is said to be around 15.
So more perfect particles coupled with a more efficient viral factory = the highest possible R0

There is an old saying, the wind my tear and the wind may roar, but you will never drown on Lac St Pierre - so long as you stay on the shore, that applies to covid. Get vaccinated, wear a mask, avoid groups/crowds etc. We criticise China, but their attention to isolation in detail has allowed them to crush the infection. These whining idiots of anti vaxxers/maskers - they are going to drown in the virus - unless they stay on the shore. That is from the Wreck of the Julie Plante - a French Canadian poem in argot.

$100/TB/month is significantly more expensive than the standard object storage options. Backblaze is $5/TB/month, for example.

On the countrary, I'm being very rational about this.

Social healthcare (at least where I am from) is created and paid for by society as a whole. It is provided to all given we follow the set rules. Which have been that we pay our fair due to run it.

Now we have extra rules ontop of that to help keep the healthcare system from buckling under the enormous strain it is experiencing.

And you are deciding that you will personally not follow those rules, and potentially help spread both a disease that might directly kill someone, or keep a person from being able to seek medical aid due to the strain this disease places on the system as a whole.

Which to me clearly invalidates any privilages you might thing you are entitled to from the social system.

It's the exact other way around: Marriage is a social / societal thing, i.e. exactly what government is all about. Religion -- perhaps particularly Christianity -- has co-opted it, but certainly didn't invent it.
