Midnight releases mostly ended after the Aurora theater shooting (2012), at least that's when I saw it end. They switched to 8 or 10pm releases and then close up. Which doesn't seem like much of a countermeasure, I suspect it was because audiences, themselves, stopped showing up at midnight for a while and theaters never resumed midnight showings.

Also, midnight releases don't work well for families that want to bring kids. And with the near-death of R-rated movies (in the US) most of the big movies (Marvel, Star Wars, many Harry Potter movies, and so on) are made for a larger (not exclusively or primarily adult) audience. To get the bigger crowd, you show it earlier.
The irony of how incredibly bigoted this comment is would be hilarious if so many people didn't seen to believe it.
Ask HN: What is your favorite piece of entertainment of the last three years?
The darkest time of the year is upon us, at least in the northern hemisphere, and this usually means consuming a lot more art and entertainment, while cozying up at home or going to meet family. What are your strongest recently published recommendations when it comes to books, movies, games etc.?
I haven't misunderstood. I simply disagree. If I am on a public web page of a particular resource I should be able to share the URL to anyone else. Neither my user agent nor the other party's user agent should matter. It is ludicrous (and in fact essentially impossible) to check how a URL behaves in every possible user agent before sharing that URL with someone. If I'm on the Wikipedia page for London, I ought to be able to share that URL with anyone using any user agent. If I cannot do that, that is the responsibility of the web site administrators.
I hear Dallas is quite nice.
There were technically invasion attempts up until the 18th century, but even discarding most of those as insignificant, we can hardly neglect the War of the Roses and Henry Tudor's (successful) invasion in 1485...
I discovered the other day that the mobile version of Wikipedia _while on desktop_ is AMAZING.

Check this out: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Yeager

It's nicely justified for reading. Superfluous interface is almost entirely eliminated compared to desktop view. It's just such a clean, elegant view for reading a Wikipedia page.
Some people found out that legitimacy is implied by coordination and started using cryptography to build various ways to coordinate multiparty computations that can simulate various banking/finance protocols.

Web3 is normal web development where you use some APIs to interact with these protocols and condition access to {functionality,resources,..} in your webapp on the current state of the multiparty computation. You can also participate in coordinating the computation.. idk maybe I'm taking the 2007 constraint a bit too far.
By changing the name, we get headlines like

" Investors sue Meta for alleged failure to protect mental health of users "

And

"‘An egregious breach of public trust’: Ohio sues Meta over whistleblower revelations"

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/nov/16/ohio-sues...

Does it stop every headline? No. But it helps disconnect the idea of "facebook the site" (pics of granny's cat) and "facebook the company" (shady)
It's just a rebrand of the term "blockchain" and the ecosystem of apps built on top of various blockchains. It's trying to presume that these ecosystems are the next iteration of the internet.

Sorry if that came off as "hate" or being dismissive, did not intend it that way! Just genuinely curious given the difficulties I'm seeing on the distro side around Rust packaging, at least for Guix that goes from source in a reproducible/bootstrapable way (which seems very difficult beyond x86-64).
Unfortunately, I don't see a "just a bit of magic here without learning much of anything new" interface coming because it's all about strategizing the movement of data. This is not unique to GPUs. It's a universal problem across computing hardware. It's just enabled to be explicit in OpenCL/CUDA. As compared to most languages where you indirectly try to steer things the right way and the CPU does it's best with whatever mess it gets.

Closest I know of is https://halide-lang.org/ And, that is specialized around images.
I feel like in situations where you say 'propagate' you understand it's wrong but it's going to translate to other people well. Those other people also understand it's an impossible question to truly answer. If DNS isn't even cached to begin with it's just solved. So the whole DNS propagation is highly contextual.

Worse yet, now all DNS software is the same. Some caching dns servers still do the query every time. It's just that you answer with cache so it's fast. Some DNS servers will fail once and then near immediately be fixed.

Since it's such a complicated subject. It's better to generalize and simplify as 'propagate'.
Weird how this article has a "hashtag" but its not a link, so its not actually a hashtag.

I'm a bit younger but have noticed the same thing even on a 10 year horizon. I think a lot of it, especially with SaaS, comes to a product manager's inability to say "We don't need to build more shit" in the current tech startup environment. I don't think it's egotism on the PM's part, it's like the whole system demands we keep shipping and "improving" things and never reach an equilibrium.
Based on your hateful comments it seems that rural areas would be better served if you stayed in the city.
> To turn right at an intersection...

You mean to turn left, correct?

I've seen this technique used by people as an optimization. Some lights have very long wait times for left turns, so people will do what you describe rather than waiting in the left turn lane.

Also of note: SF is a very pedestrian dense city with people wandering into the street looking at phones, not paying attention...and sadly a large number of substance abuse casualties endangering themselves and others. This reality has got increasingly worse since the iphone launch last decade, it's a huge problem.

As an aside, I was certain that Solid was bought by HP and looking at the wiki page I think we were already using PG by 2007. So it maybe changed hands a few times.

Regardless, it was an awesome database, ahead of it’s time in many ways. And amazing support.
It's not terrible, but it's not a great look to me. I don't think you need to hold to your previous employer's interests, though.

The problem to me here is, OP dumps on the work of their former colleges and the criticisms of MySQL aren't backed up and seem a little naive.

E.g., only very useful software survives a long time with many users, and such software also very typically has major warts, especially looking from the inside.

Reading between the lines and subtracting OPs tone, MySQL actually looks like it's in better shape than I would have thought: when OP arrived the optimizer was a mess. Now it's in good shape. Better yet, management is fully supportive and investing in major improvements. Awfully good for a long-lived open-source project.

I might be a little skeptical that OP could thrive on Chrome, except that we all mature as our horizons widen.
That's very helpful. Thanks!
If I were cynical, I'd suspect Life 360 (and similar companies) were created first with the goal of selling location data, and from there worked backwards to figure out what sort of app/company would require a continuous stream of location data. And worked from there. Which is becoming more valuable as ios and android give users more granular control over apps getting location data...
I have felt this. I also think the increase in SUVs and SUV-like cars is raising the average height of these headlamps, causing more light to hit me in my lowered sedan.
Oh, ha, I didn't even notice that. Ok, I like that!

I was actually looking at the footnote links, and those do indeed seem to be missing entirely -- as well as the whole references section. Arguably that's more important than links to "definition" wiki pages, so it forms the basis for the knowledge (vs mostly just definitions).
It's not even Seattle. There are still places going for 600k and 800k just fine.

I'm not sure what this person is looking for, honestly.

Even stretching out just a bit and going to the Mill Creek area for more north, or Lynnwood, or Issaquah and perfectly nice, even new construction are in their claimed price range.

What's the ethnic breakdown like in these cities? I imagine some places have growing ethnic communities but it is hard to go from diverse enclaves like New York or the Bay Area to a less diverse city. Even going to Seattle was a bit of a shock. The Asian food was not even close to New York's.

Of course many Asian and people of color move to less diverse communities. They have my respect, but I'm not sure I want to end up one of a handful of Asians or relegated to a chinatown.

Moving to a cheaper city is a valid decision but it's a more complicated value choice as a person of color.
> It is out there.

It is in the place you grew up. Projecting negative stereotypes onto people because they share a broad group with other people you had negative experiences with is stereotyping.

> You just don't care.

Less of this, please.
It's always magical to see a use case be elevated to a built-in feature. I was doing exactly this with Milk.video for a few podcasts [1]. I'm excited to try this out!

Background noise - that's one way to put it! The path loss is around 250 dB, so a practical amateur moonbounce station makes use of a very powerful RF amplifier feeding an array of yagi antennas, all mounted on an altitude/azimuth rotator - in other words, it's a radio telescope, and the receiving side hopefully has something similar. You can do a google image search for "moonbounce," the setups are kind of amazing. A lot of investment mostly to exchange morse and specialized low-bandwidth digital modes.

The upshot is that you can communicate with any station that can also see the moon - somebody on the other side of the planet, 12,000km away. Plus there is the unique experience of hearing your own transmission echo, two seconds after you cease.

This kind of setup is well within reach for a commercial enterprise but will never be practical for IoT owing to the laws of physics. On the other hand, there is SNOTEL, a system that bounces snowpack telemetry off of the ionized trails left by meteors...
There's no guarantee even without optimization. Some optimizations exploit UB, but not all "unexpected" code generation in the presence of UB is due to optimization.

Take signed int overflow on addition. On some platforms ADD wraps, on others it traps. Depending on target CPU you'll get very different behavior even for non-optimizing compilers that just emit an ADD instruction!

WASM is just another target, with its own behavior.

AS/400 had a machine-independent binary format which was translated ahead of execution by the system's specific compiler into machine code, and all applications ran in the same address space with zero memory protection because the code generated by the compiler ensured isolation.

Facebook is a radicalization engine.

It is designed to reinforce existing beliefs and preferences in order to increase engagement.

In this case the beliefs were virulently racists and bigoted, and the engagement was usually done with a machete.

Do you know any cops? Many of the mayors backed down and many more just retired. I know several in around the Chicago area and none of them followed through, they updated their guidelines.

How many? I have no idea, based on what I've seen probably ~10-15% of people would rather be fired than get a vaccine. I know a couple in the medical field, a couple of friends in sales, etc.

Anyway, it's anecdotal to a degree, but only because most people aren't tracking it. It's easier for people in tech to just move to a remote-first company.
It is doable, but it's hard to make it fast on all platform. See the SegmentZero32 description in <https://cseweb.ucsd.edu/~dstefan/pubs/kolosick:2022:isolatio...> for an example prototype.
Why do we continue to have that venue be the place where we have our athletes go then?
Why are car drivers taking turns so quickly they cannot stop fast enough to not kill someone on a crosswalk?
Probably true, but being distracted or burned out shouldn't be punished by being run over... you could equally argue that lots of those drivers are distractedly looking at their phones too?
Yes, hence my mention of the missing-middle.

The "disposable" aspect of games mentioned by parent is crucial.

Any successful business software is going to be maintained and extended for years, possibly decades. This will be done by constantly churning team, where sooner or later no one will have a very good idea about the system's internal or requirements. In such cases, automated test cases protect against regression bugs AND also serve as a documentation of sorts. Whereas in games, after the game is released, the team will maybe patch it for a while and after that, chances are no one will ever touch that code ever again.
I worked a couple of teams that were using Extreme Programming back in the day (early 2000s) and took a lot of lessons from that. Then in the intervening years I worked on teams that didn't have much of a process at all, and when I came back onto teams that were attempting agile, it was in the form of Scrum, and I just... to me it just doesn't click. It's not the agile I was taught, it's just a formula applied without much thought. Usually just a Pivotal Tracker type system + daily standups, going through the motions. I see no point in it.
It sounds like "Because our teams are not given n days for quality assurance before feature delivery" is just a further Why down. I can see how this becomes a loop if someone isn't trying to get a real answer though.

Medium was good when it started, then got overhauled by low quality; you can still find good content here and there.
Looking at the diagram [0], I'm dubious if this is a good "authoritative" solution. The problem with left turns is collision with oncoming traffic moving straight through. Especially at yellow lights where the turning vehicle is trying to make it out of the intersection before the light turns red and they feel like they are blocking 90-degree traffic [1], and end up colliding with oncoming vehicles running the yellow.

This design seems to shift that problem 100 meters down the road, but the challenge of crossing oncoming traffic remains (I guess without the pressure of trying to get out of a turning Yellow Light situation).

So it's definitely an improvement, but isn't there a simpler one called "Dedicated Left Turn Signals"? If both directions had an "advance left" light where both could turn safely, and there was a dedicated light for turning (i.e. no entering the intersection to turn except in a dedicated Left turn sign), this solves the problem, no?

Dedicated Turn lanes and signals need space, so they're not always possible in dense urban environments, but the Michigan setup doesn't suffer from a lack of space. So i feel like the Michigan solution is useless for San Francisco, and also not as good as the alternative for Michigan

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michigan_left#/media/File:Mich...

[1] Which, incidentally, FEELS unsafe, and inexperienced drivers panic trying to get out as soon as possible, but isn't actually - these vehicles are starting from 0 and accelerating - they are unlikely to accelerate INTO you. In rushing to get out before the light turns red, they are more likely to collide with an oncoming vehicle trying to run the yellow.
Mostly that's the case, yes. The main benefit of wasm sandboxing in this situation is to keep any exploit of these libraries in the sandbox - no memory corruption outside. That's a big improvement on running the same code outside of a sandbox.

(But in general corruption inside the sandbox is potentially dangerous too. You need to be careful about what you do with data you get from the sandboxed code. RLBox does help in that area as well.)
There's a difference in doing someone a small polite favor and doing unpaid labor. I definitely have previous employers to whom I'd give an hour of my time to sort out a quick issue, and for a lone hour it is not worth generating an invoice and dealing with taxes. At most I might accept a meal or a pint.
What are these locations like though? I’m not from the US so maybe I don’t know but the first two look pretty “middle of nowhere” places in states that might be less progressive (am I wrong?).

At 200k I’d prefer an apartment and trade size / space for location. Even with kids.

I absolutely get this feeling of not wanting to be trapped, nor should you ever feel like you have to work on it. You have already volunteered your time plenty.

uBlock origin is maybe one of the most critical extensions, maybe the most critical extension. If for some reason you don't want to maintain it, please let us know so somebody can take it over.
At three Why’s the branching factor is down low enough that a quick person can guess what many of them are and compare them with the lunch conversation and water cooler gripes and the capabilities of the team and steer toward something - anything - that is actionable and will materially reduce the class of problem - not just the same problem, but ones with any similarity.

I think that’s the best you can do, but it has problems. One, it becomes a bit of smoke and mirrors for people new to the process. Two, this only works for people who have access and recall of all the near misses and any grumbling in the ranks. Optimists cannot do a 5W justice. Three, I don’t trust any Five Why’s that I’m not present for, because there’s a moment in every RCA meeting where if I don’t judo throw the conversation we end up with some milquetoast bullshit fix that doesn’t fix anything or just makes things worse, and writing code more onerous.

That and testing. Many people don't want to get tested 2x times a week either. They'll just move to a remote company and leave.
It just grinds my gears. It is such a non-solution to the problem. Basically "if you don't like it leave." and it just muddies the water around discussions about affordability of housing.

Move away from your friends and family and community to somewhere in the middle of nowhere, make a massive investment, and cross your fingers you find friends in the community! There is no job market to speak of, so good luck when the remote work fad ends[0]!

I think you can still usefully push past the "I just never did it."

If the problem is that you are overcommitted and things are starting to slip, that's a different problem than "I got distracted by something shiny and forgot." In the first case, it might make sense to try to grow the team, for instance.

So DNS propagation is the internet's version of "different areas on your tongue are responsible for different tastes" myth...
The only right way to pronounce it is my-squeal
TL;DR - we can unblock a lot of things with this approach that browser extensions can't; it also works across all browsers (esp. relevant for Safari users).

Digging in, there are a few reasons actually - first is, Chrome removes extensions with this kind of functionality from the Web Store constantly (only option would be to sideload).

Under the hood, Incoggo is also actually a local proxy (it adds a trusted root cert during the install process - we have some details on this / other potential issues / concerns on our forum). Reason for this being, Chrome extensions can't modify inbound requests in the way that's required to unblock several of the publications we support (NYT, Bloomberg, WaPo being key examples).
A quicker explanation, with some background of the technique and criticisms: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_whys

Personally, despite the popularity of this technique in the Lean/Agile crowd, I've never found it useful for meaningful problems.
DNS servers push to other authoritative resolvers. There are all kinds of topologies for zone transfers.
