Comprehension is different than approbation though. Maybe it becomes too philosophical but for me we can grow to appreciate the different perspective of others, what we have in common as human beings, and not judge them harshly because we are not sure we would do better in their shoes, but still actions can be evil.
The house in question in the article is in Sunnyvale, so it's entirely possible that the closest fine dining is ... "Chili's".

I love the Bay Area, but suburbs are suburbs.

Edit: I checked; it's not quite the closest "fine dining", but there actually is one a short walk away =)

Not sure why you keep emphasizing the immaturity aspect. If you look at animals they pretty much do all the above too. It's a deep part of who we are and something much more fundamental than simply not being mature enough.

It's like saying humans need water at an early age, but as they grow older they can sometimes resist that temptation. Therefore thirst is a sign of immaturity.

There could be very valid game-theoretical reasons for why we evolved the way we did.
The other question to ask is what was the Tesla doing bombing along in the outer lane when there was (seemingly) negligible traffic anywhere except the truck in the inner lane.

Whilst its unlikely the Tesla autopilot would have fared much better in the centre lane, the impact could have been substantially less.
I vaguely thought I posted in this thread back then.

Back in 1984/5, I had a directory in my homedir called "etc" for of miscellaneous stuff. One day I thought: that's a bad name, I should remove it. I errantly typed "rm -rf /etc". Thankfully I got a "Permission Denied" error. Except, I then did the obvious override, "sudo rm -rf /etc" (1). This was on a VAX 11/780 with about 50 undergrads doing project work on. The command ran for a while and then I heard moans out in the terminal room, as the system crashed. It took us about 3 hours to restore from backup tape.

(1) I used to have to explain what "sudo" was, because this happened before we posted it to USENET, and before it was ubiquitous on systems.
Have you explored the space of "poorly generated keys"? I assume someone has screwed up their key generation at some point in a predictable way, and that's a much smaller space than every possible way.
When I tried to dabble in OCaml, it definitely looked like operator stew to me, but I’m coming to it from the C, Python, JS, etc world so maybe Haskell is even worse in this regard?

> I guess I think of it as educating the politicians.

What about the other way around? What makes you think it's not police hackers who value privacy just like us, and who strive to protect us, who requested this to politicians? That seems more likely.
For one, the kind of psychotic violent criminals that might assault random children in the streets are unlikely to get caught thanks specifically to cyber-surveillance.

I am perfectly comfortable with having my children run around in the same streets as people selling drugs or stolen credit card numbers online.

But to address your point less literally - "it might make it easier to catch criminals" is an extraordinarily weak justification for compromising the privacy of BILLIONS of citizens (WhatsApp, sadly, runs most of the personal communications in vast swathes of the world).
It's like Chicago doesn't exist in the collective conscientious of the east and west coast white collar class. ILL is a dumpster fire of a state, but the COL to quality of life ratio is pretty excellent as far I'm concerned.

Minneapolis, Madison, Milwaukee, Detroit are all fun cities too. I say this as someone who went to college in Boston/NYC and lived all over the Acela corridor and London.
You keep making this point across the thread about actual harm being invoked. The tools available to governments today should be sufficient to stop a number of crimes. Yet time and time again we see that increased surveillance doesn't really correlate to the elimination of crime.

Why not push this energy into making your government agencies more efficient with what resources they have? The UK has tons of CC TVs in public -- still seems to have a high issue with shoplifting, pickpocketing, and other crime in public places.

Doesn't it alarm you to keep giving an inefficient potentially malicious actor more tools it can abuse?
Yeah - so this same list can be marked true for places in and around HCOL areas of CA, NY, Insert any other "desirable location." Your sentiment towards the Midwest is de-constructive.
If you wrote "think of the children" it'd have been less characters.
The reporting rate for collisions has gone up which confounds that measurement

Back in the day when costs were lower it was much more common to reconcile things without involving third parties and the legal requirements for max damage in low speed collisions were much more stringent.
One thing to also consider is that a lot of the difficulty/friction is due to regulations. There are probably all sorts of sane, reasonable, safe and exotic solutions to this problem, just like there is for supplies during disasters, but it's hampered by reactionary regulations. E.g. price-gauging laws, or in this case, "certification" for doctors and nurses.
Your estimates should be way higher with the legacy codebase. Science says 1.7x what you first expect. I'd pad that to 2.5x if not higher. If you can do it in 1 day, estimate 3 days for it. If you have 1 day to do it, get it done in 2 hours.

There's a lot of literature around estimates and most of them encourage data. Which is a poor approach for this case because of your points 1 and 3. It's helpful to compute, but take into account that the data is off by a lot.
I haven't really understood how the "decentralized" comes into place. My notion of decentralization is the existence of multiple instances managed by unrelated people, such that the service keeps going if one actor falls down. From what I see here, the decentralization lies in the fact that the central service stores the data across multiple servers. So it's not technically speaking a lie, but i would say it is a bit missleading.

Edit: If this is/was a trully decentralized tool (which would imply some sort of open source code to host it) i would be stoked

I'll have to try out the bodymovin-SMIL plugin. I've long looked for a tool to generate SMIL animations, but I always end up just writing them by hand [1], which gives me much greater control...

That explanation didn't click with me, either.

But I guess you could model each transaction as an edge, with the direction specifying which account is debited and which credited, and the weight determining the amount.

I don't find that particularly helpful myself, but I put that down to my unfamiliarity with graph data structures and the associated algorithms. Maybe there's something you can do more easily with a graph database, than you can if you have the same info in a table?

Another vote for easyDNS. I have been using them for 15 years or more, and have moved all my personal, business and customer domains over there. The user interface is simple and easy to use, and the service is rock-solid. I am happy to pay a bit more for such an outstanding service.
We had also had a power outage, which I suspect caused it to lose it's routing tables for some reason. Power was out for about a week, internet was out for about three weeks. When power came back, the Google WiFi was essentially a fancy brick with LEDs until the internet came back too.

Luckily I had a ~15 year old Cisco router I could temporarily replace it with.
Ask HN: Where do I go to drink the Cardano Koolaid?
I understand all the criticisms of Cardano, but I don't understand what people are actually looking forward to. I don't understand what the line in the sand of failure would look like to those people. Where can I be indoctrinated?

Maybe there is something interesting happening. For most Cardano sycophants, I can tell it is not an objective comparison of the technology they aim for other people to build versus what has been built on other distributed ledgers, but for some of those people they are people that have demonstrated competency in other technical areas, or at least understand how a crowd thinks, which is beneficial. And I don't understand what they think in regards to Cardano.

I like to understand all sides.

What is even remotely convincing about that project, the eUTXO model, and where can I get excited about it? I also missed a lot of alpha caring at all, but perhaps there is some services I can provide to that network once it is possible to even run services on that network. My whole modus operandi is to sell shovels during a gold rush, but not when I'm too busy laughing at the people going to California to realize I should go myself and start the shovel business.
That's a little hyperbolic... some places in the midwest can be outright hostile towards certain types of people. That's a completely legitimate concern regardless of political affiliation.
There are always companies investing in news fabs, the difference right now is that governments are subsidising them for strategic and/or political reasons.
But you don't need that, you'd only get too much information you don't need. You need to intercept suspect network traffic only, otherwise you're most likely to fail to find anything useful at all.
> Obtaining that number without authorization is already a crime. Accessing computers illegally to exfiltrate data is already a crime. Breaking into a physical safe in order to obtain a paper key is already a crime.

Sure thing. Hence, the importance of analyzing each case individually.
If unauthorized computer access is used, sure thing a crime was committed.
If someone created a wallet using a stupid wallet generator which used this website to "create" private keys, and someone else also had this silly idea, and someone deposited Bitcoin on a wallet created by this mean and and someone else took it, then no crime was committed.

>they changed it this much.

They didn't change it much. They added an indicator to the existing OS UI when a recording device is active. That's the only change that was made. As I've said elsewhere here, they could have added anything to the UI in the past and it would have had the same effect. People just didn't care because that stuff didn't affect them.

>There's no way to make a bulletproof setup, after all.

No one is saying it needs to be bulletproof. If it did and that's important to your production, you'd have backups to switch over to immediately. You're taking what I'm saying out of context and arguing straw men. If a small dot on the screen makes things "unusable" for you, then your setup is wrong. If anything that you don't want on the screen that you didn't put there is important for you, then you need to create your setup to function like that and allow for that.

All I'm saying is that there are people all over here, professionals or otherwise, who claim that a small dot on the screen is a dealbreaker for their ability to do their jobs. If that's the case, then they've been leaving their livelihoods up to chance because every OS has the ability to display things on an external display on top of a full-screen application. I'm glad some people were lucky enough for that not to happen but people whose livelihoods depend on that don't leave those things to luck.
No. You're accessing computer resources that you don't own and you aren't authorized to.

> There is a reason the median price in Sunnyvale is already $2.3M

Primarily the dire lack of housing and the local politics that keep it from being built.

Granted, you'll always be able to get more land in the midwest, but the lack of homes is a policy choice.
It looks like they way under priced it on purpose. Zillow shows comps over the past year in the same neighborhood: 2.19M, 2.6M, 2.3M, 2.19M, 2.52M. This one is a bit smaller, but expecting a sale in that range given the other sales is not noteworthy. (The article calls this out at the end: "the median sales price of a single-family home in Sunnyvale is $2.375 million" and this one is $2.68M)

My grandfather had a darkroom in his basement where he taught me to develop B/W film and make prints. I have no doubt that he would have leapt at this as a means to cut down his costs (part of our Bohemian heritage—the stereotype, which lived up to reality in my experience, being that our people are rather, um, thrifty). He had already eschewed stop bath for diluted white vinegar. Having access to a darkroom outside of school was a remarkably handy thing back then.

There’s a lot of people working non stop to make us at least multi-planetary

With the rate of change in technology, the limits we have now that make surviving off world will surely dissolve over the centuries

I think, like much of last century’s science fiction, it doesn’t stay fiction for so long
I’m of two camps.

On one hand, I don’t use fonts with ligatures (I use Triplicate by the OP, very happy with it), and usually work without colorful syntax highlighting.

The assumption is that code is read more often than it is written, and I have no idea how my code will be read in future—thus the rule of thumb: if I understand it when it’s plain text monochrome, then the next maintainer (or future me) will be able to understand it with syntax highlighting on. I’m already biased to understand my own code more easily than anyone else, so I shouldn’t need extra visual aids if I’m not the only one who’ll work with it.

Plus, ligatures, syntax highlighting and auto-completion strike me as, in a sense, attempts to create a rudimentary GUI (TUI) to AST on top of plain text—but due to limited capabilities to work with it’s always semi-broken: syntax highlighting is off, ligatures have false positives, etc.

On the other hand, the idea that “we must keep using plain text” strikes me as somewhat stuck in the past.

The age of syntax-tree-driven, program-as-structured-data version control and editing capabilities must not be far off. At that point, we’ll likely get much greater flexibility—highlighting/autocompleting not just tokens but entire patterns (for adequately structured programs), exposing new refactoring operations, and more. We might start seeing cases where a genius high-level architect may not be that proficient at editing programs in plain text, and it’ll be obvious in hindsight.

(As an aside, I’m a little sour that GitHub/MS threw resources onto black-box ethically questionable Copilot rather than structured code.)

On the third hand (one foot?), there’s something to be learned from ligature+syntax highlighting+linting text-based authoring experience as a GUI—generalizing a little, we don’t have many other GUIs that attempt to present source data nicely while maintaining it zero-effort for you to drop into low-level edit mode. I wish whatever next-gen structured code authoring experience comes next has implementations that preserve this feature.

Another piece of it, I think, is the lack of a central authority that can censor and/or pry into your content. With any well-implemented zero-knowledge solution, this should be the case.

Is that maybe a bit misleading? Probably, but a lot of people who search for decentralized are looking for something "off grid" in the sense of no one is watching vs "off grid" in the sense of roll your own grid.
Here is the Wikipedia article. The answer is in the very short intro.

> Based on your comment, it would seem no one should use C/C++

Maybe, there are better options out there these days for parallel and concurrent programs. Parallel programming in C and C++ is extremely fraught for the very reasons the parent brings up. There are so many footguns, starting from the fact that the favorite debugging method of C programmers, printf(), is not even thread safe.

It’s so bad that Rust markets as a feature “fearless concurrency”, capitalizing on the recognition that the prevailing emotional state of a C or C++ dev writing concurrent or parallel programs is one of fear.

And the very thing that makes Rust concurrency fearless over C and C++ is that borrowing and mutability are explicitly tracked. As we enter a world where over a dozen CPU cores are the norm, we are learning what works and what doesn’t in writing programs for these machines, and integrating those learnings into new languages.
An Analysis of the Log4Shell Alternative Local Trigger
If you just want to interact with others in the same fringe groups as you, then sure, you can be satisfied with just these alternatives and their current audiences. But you can't run your PTA group on Matrix (believe me, I proposed!), there is no single influential person that is interested in leaving Twitter and joining the Fediverse. There is not a single business, news media channel or podcaster that cares about putting their presence on Mastodon, etc.

So, success is quite measurable and it is certainly not achieved yet. This is not to say that we should just give up and be assimilated by the Borg. It is just a reality check and a reminder that there is a huge world out there.
Papyrus, even.
As I recall it was about the key schedule. But, same outcome. Some people, idiotically, use 256 bit AES anyway, because it reassures less literate customers. Sort of like the patdowns at airports: security theater.
