> For example, in the bay area, parking in SF is difficult to say the least and usually in paid garages

I think it's useful to consider that SF downtown parking is - in the grand scheme of things - an exception, not a norm.

As it turns out, parking is free in most geographical locations. Even within SF, there's plenty of free street parking around areas like the Sunset or Potrero Hill for example, a mere 20 mins away from downtown core. Go another 15 mins further south and there's free parking at Home Depot, Costco, etc. Go further out to places like San Jose, and strip malls with abundant free parking dominate the landscape.

IMHO it doesn't make sense to think parking space can be easily replaced with residential space. This has been a theme in places like downtown Toronto, where parking lots were literally getting turned into condo buildings. Without a supporting transportation strategy, all that ends up happening is overloaded roads because more residences equal more people, and people need transportation. Going back to Toronto, they're now apparently talking about expropriating businesses to make space for public transit expansion in the worst congested subway station (Ironically, several businesses were already displaced from a lot to build a high rise mix use condo building in this exact intersection some 5 years ago, and there's now another high rise in construction right across the street from it). I honestly wish them good luck with scaling public transit to match demand, as all forms of traffic there - including the subway - already get to pretty bad levels.
Yep, and before Google complain that Apple doesn't allow iMessage on Android, maybe they should make sure their closest product (Messages by Google) is available on iOS?
Every other DPRK ICBM test has crashed into the ocean.

This one also crashed into the ocean, but it got further along. In particular, there seems to be confirmations that this DPRK ICBM test did in fact reach Mach 10.

If this is the first ICBM to reach hypersonic speeds and had something that looked like an intercontinental launch cycle, it would make sense to take it seriously.
Since the whole point of the SSO tax is to segment out small companies from larger ones, mass adoption of single signon by small companies is a problem that will solve itself, as SSO stops being a good segmentation signal.

I've found slack to be a pretty poor tool for knowledge sharing like this in comparison to a more document-driven form of communication. We previously used a wiki-tool for this (I don't think it really matters which one), but in recent years we've used Basecamp for this.

I'm completely sold on decisions being driven by a doc of a few paragraphs with the conversation around it co-located in the comments. It's easy to scroll through a list of such conversations in the message board and read through the context with discussion. In comparison, finding a previous conversation is slack is much more difficult.

Even if I can find the conversation, I think that the chat-focused nature of slack encourages short, loosely worded messages. This is great in the moment but the lack of context a few months on is pretty tough to deal with.
EPP is still very much in use as ICANN requires it for gTLDs[0] (2012 round), sTLDs[1] (2000 & 2003 rounds). And most uTLDs[2] (non ccTLDs before 2000, e.g. .com) have moved over due to consolidation / negotiation / cajoling by ICANN.

ccTLDs[3] are free to chose their own provisioning process / protocols; some use EPP, some don't.

This. Kids are expected to use these devices every day for years. If we doubled or tripled the prices, the entire cost of the device would be amortized to just 1-2 dollars a day, if that.

However as things currently, are, I'd bet these will be the crappiest computer kids will encounter in their everyday lives. I wonder if forcing people to use these devices for years will create an aversion in them to pursue computer-related careers in the future.

From my understanding each bomber has a playbook so to speak along with the code book. each Play is a different target package. Just like in US football the message from Command to the bombers isn't the verbatim target package but just a code telling them which target package to select from their playbook.

Claiming that some scientist or study stated something or other is not useful unless context is provided. At least it should be clear when it was said, since the position of science is subject to change as new data is available or the situation changes.

The quote that you probably refer to, is this one, from 3 Sep 2021 (translation by deepl):

"My goal as a virologist Drosten how I would like to become immune now is: I want to have a vaccine immunity and then saddling on top of that I definitely want to have my first general infection and the second and the third at some point. I have resigned myself to that for a long time. And then I know, I'm immune for a really long time and I'll only see this virus every few years, just like I see the other coronaviruses every now and then. As a relatively healthy adult, I can take responsibility for that. There are other populations that can't. But I can only answer for myself, for my own health, because I am now twice vaccinated. And I have to admit, I would also like to be vaccinated a third time."

On 9 Nov 2021, he's on the record with this (translation by deepl):

"One can debate whether one has grasped this correctly at the beginning. I think that the plan to work with two doses at the beginning was correct. Because what changed here was the virus. But now we just have to acknowledge, the vaccine is not specifically targeted to the delta virus, but to a virus that is not even circulating today. The virus has changed."

So definitely a preference for more than 2 shots and not suggesting that anyone do this, other than he himself, personally, given his specific risk profile.
Is his stance on delta equally valid in light of the new omicron variant? Maybe, maybe not?

Plus, you know, oftentimes the people commenting for the US nuclear defense systems to modernize are the same people who put Log4J everywhere they could (meaning: Silicon Valley engineers).

Its funny how hypnotic the word "modernize" is; totally divorced from any measurable success outcomes. More efficient? Possibly. But as we learned with COVID; when you stress an Efficient system, it breaks. Militaries tend to be pretty highly stressed; and it would be best if they don't break.

One thing is for certain: There is much the maintainers of these antiquated systems could learn from more recent engineering practices; but there is just as much we could learn from them.

This was kinda what I was trying to suss out. I've gradually started thinking of Macbooks as "not general-purpose." For example, I can no longer get gdb working on them. At least it's imposed enough barriers that I haven't been incentivized to spend a lot of effort getting over.

Going back to your original comment above, a general purpose computer definitely helps. But as the chromebook side of things shows, it's not sufficient.
the article's whole point is that this conclusion ("covid made us crazy") is the "official explanation" but that there is better alternative explanation in road design and traffic density changes
> [a] system with concurrent garbage collection enabled the garbage collection can run faster than on manually-managed memory

Maybe. But not predictably. It will have delays, they may be small, but there is know way to know when they will come. This can be managed but it is all overhead. Manual memory management has none of that run-time overhead (but a tonne of programmer overhead)

I recently bought a few Zen 2 and Zen 3 HPE servers, and found out only via trial and error that HPE sells Zen 2 servers without Gen4 motherboard support!

It seems they took the original Zen motherboards with Gen3 and just swapped out the CPU. Only the Zen 3 has a refreshed motherboard. Makes me now check things more carefully to be sure.
Worth noting that waitstaff would have a lower minimum wage than cashier or shelf-stocker, with expectation that they make it up in tips, so it's not just social norm.

When times are good and trust is high you get lone wolves like McVeigh and Kaczynski. The fact that extremist groups are able to do much of anything means their message resonates and therefore they can secure members and resources. These politicians are too busy complaining that the bird is annoying in to see the canary in the coal mine. If things were looking up people wouldn't be joining extremist movements. No task force will fix that.
> To do anything with a request you are going to have a context which will function just like the stack of a thread.

But a thread has a separate call stack. Returning and calling another function in the same stack just involves moving the stack pointer by a few bytes. Switching to another thread’s stack will invalidate much more cache, while running an async task until await will make the best use of the existing cache, and switch (much closer in RAM than in another thread) only when it makes sense, i.e. the previous task started waiting on something.

> It only matters if you are at capacity because otherwise the active requests will be cached.

CPU cache is a few megabytes. That definitely won’t hold hundreds of requests if they all transfer substantial data, even if you can handle thousands or more.
You say that, but then imagine "the other side" calling BLM protests, etc as domestic terrorists and same feds go after them.
I moved to Coos Bay a little over ten years ago, and I am still as leftist as when I moved here. I think social media has a lot to do with people changing for the worst, whether here or anywhere else.

I agree Astoria is a much cooler vibe, I don't think I could handle the kind of rain that they get. In fact when it rains really hard here I call it a "Goonies Day" and put on an old VHS of The Goonies and point out all the familiar places in Astoria to my daughter.
But they won't because it's much more profitable if the user buys new hardware instead, nevermind whether the existing device is fundamentally capable of serving their needs, and nevermind the accumulating e-waste.

It's a hopeful sign that OP's parents are at least catching on to the planned obsolescence pattern. That makes it easier to explain the importance of right-to-repair type regulations to a non-technical audience.

Sometimes you want a communication to be public, loud, and undeniable, even if you don't want it to be understood by all.

It makes it difficult to later deny that the order was given, it'll be recorded many times over by friend and foe alike. Recipients can possibly confirm that their counterparts are also receiving consistent orders.

Author here. The repo link and simpler implementations were linked in sibling comments, so I'll just add a bit more explanation.

The whole thing relies on the idea that Lisp macros can communicate: the outer macros can, via their expansion, pass information to the inner macros via the compilation environment, and these inner macros can then use that information to decide how they should expand.

This information is available at compile-time only, but that's enough for the macros to decide what kind of code to generate - in this particular case, the choice is whether some body of code should be included in the expansion or not.

This mechanism is known in the Lisp world as the SYMBOL-MACROLET trick and was described well in the article at [0] - except I think that that article could use a slightly better example, which my repository is happy to provide.

I'd argue the KKK is not a good example. The Ku Klux Klan Act was passed in 1871 to target and stop the klan (src: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ku_Klux_Klan_Act ). This was successful until the Klan was refounded in 1915, thanks to the movie "The Birth of a Nation".

not sure if this specific TTP is common, but generally there are a lot of ways that malware authors perform first c2 discovery and then actual c2. attackers can use DNS itself for both of these aspects of C2. Even very old reports of since-long-gone attackers like APT1 https://www.mandiant.com/media/9941/download indicate use of covert c2 over otherwise benign web applications like google calendar.

You can be a lot picker on what you work though, and know better to avoid pitfalls and wasting time.

When you are young, you are running like a headless chicken, trying to learn/do everything you can, and usually not have the right filters to see what is more important.

In my 20s, learning new things could be overwhelming (there is so much to learn!!), and now it is not, because I avoid the distractions and learn what is important and needed.
Ah! That makes more sense then. Although as Facebook proves, plenty of companies under 20 years old have developed the evil gene.

Doing the right thing morally and doing the right thing for business are not mutually exclusive. Actually, this case is a good example.

Please see these comments [0]. But essentially, Intel is in a medium and long term losing position in CCP China regardless of whether it glosses over slave concentration camps. It seems to have chosen to value CCP China supply chains. It will face a capricious CCP that will disrupt those supply chains sooner or later. It will face the creation of a CCP China national chip champion with a monopoly on local sales.

This will be bad for business. It is of course still bad to play semantic public relations games with slave concentration camps.

Had it maintained a moral position against Xinjiang slave concentration camps, it would have been pushed to look for alternative supply chains. This in turn would have put Intel in a better position to whether storms created by CCP when using trade policies as foreign policy instruments.

Good business and some basic moral decency go together. It is so sad for humanity to believe otherwise.

Some of them even use QMK so you can assign anything you want.
I work in government contracting, and have been doing it longer than you. On one project recently, some teammates were complaining about some unproductive thing we were doing, and I said "hey, this project is actually getting deployed and used by somebody, which automatically makes it more worthwhile than 75% of the other projects I've been on".

While I sometimes think that it's mostly a government thing, I figure big companies probably do the same.
The same complaint can be levelled against the "faux hubris" of your comment, but it doesn't make for great discussion.

it would be more compelling if you made arguments to explain your statements of certainty, and left out the weird generalizations about "typical HN comment" as if HN is some monolith as opposed to a discussion board comprised of individual commenters
I haven’t read the book but if you ever get a chance to see one of the traveling Pixar museum exhibitions, do it! The amount of work that goes into making one of those films is staggering, as is the volume of non-digital art that is created as part of the creative process. Highly recommended!
Right, it had a jabber/XMPP client for that brief window when everyone was pretending to try to standardize. Google, AOL, MSN, Facebook, they were all (mostly) interoperable. Now we're back to all walled gardens.
So for all those years of fighting Islamic terrorism they did not need such unit despite huge domestic population of potential collaborators. But now they do. It sure going to end well...
The higher-end cards are inherently very very usable for GPGPU, it's just the tooling around them that sucks. As for lower end cards, that's because they are low-end.
I don't think they even need to innovate much.

I never understood why Google didn't just clone Apple's app many years ago. Hangouts was pretty close - take that, add e2e encryption for in-app threads (like iMessage) and make sure SMS is there as a peer. Make a client for the major platforms and then let the project slip into maintenance mode.

Instead, they championed RCS which (last time I checked) isn't encrypted which is borderline unethical IMHO.
> it's often better to just use uvicorn and add more containers to your API to scale up

Why is that?
Is there really that much web safely exposable data in sqlite for this to make sense? I'm not really seeing how this is obviously better than the metadata ideas that preceded it.
While I’m not a proponent of Apple’s walled garden approach, I think this stuff about bullying over the blue indicator is just Google using something to shame Apple so that Google can get what they want. Even if Apple introduced RCS to their phones to give better compatibility to Android features, the blue indicator would still show that the message was sent with end-to-end encryption which is something RCS doesn’t do according to this article. In my mind, a better solution for Apple would be to release an iMessage app on the Play Store or to work with Google on building a better messaging service that includes those features. But Apple probably won’t do that because it’s actually better for sales if they do have features that allow their users to feel superior to others, as cynical as that sounds.
That's a deep cut that I really appreciate.
To nitpick here: many tenured professors also use Slack, email, alerts etc. There's also often an (implicit) expectation that they can get stuff done in the evenings, on weekends etc. (e.g., paper reviews, grants, references, etc.). So I don't think it's quite as easy for modern-day profs to just 'shut [themselves] from the world'.
It almost seems like launching a messaging app is some sort of rite of passage for a certain kind of PM or engineer at Google.

I'm sure there will be more attempts to come.
My only confusion is that I believed that they surely must have had a domestic counterterrorism unit previously?

I mean if they didn't, what are we paying them for?

No wonder Walmarts, schools and places of worship are getting shot up.

I guess it's good they created one now, but if they didn't have a unit with dedicated resources on the domestic terrorism problem previously, it really does demonstrate a lack of military sense.
