> Tangential and honest question: how do eviction moratoriums help?

They allow politicians to pretend they've resolved a problem, while managing other aspects of a crisis. Later, when the moratorium expires, hopefully the media is concerned with other things and the plight of the evicted will go unheeded.

It's also a middle-of-the-road measure between doing nothing (bad publicity) and declaring a rent holiday / subsidizing rent from taxes / expropriating rented-out apartments or other such measures (politically difficult, angers donors and politicians' social milieu).
nice! Thanks :)
IANAL, but it sounds as though GP has a job... Managing a 12-unit apartment complex.
> you can’t hire half a person if there’s only half a workload

True. You can, however, hire one person to do one full workload that's made up of fractional workloads.
A friend of mine was an HR reporting analyst who can also code. He automated his internship and we spent days gaming (I worked for a startup that had a lot of meetings with limited real work).
Heraclius deserved better for the incredible effort he put in. Sad thing to watch it go up in smoke 10 years later. Same could be said for the Sassanids though.
This is a shame, for me, as I really enjoyed Weird City[0] and was very hopeful of it getting more episodes made.

the electrical interface/protocol, sure. i don't think any ATA133 drive made could actually saturate its interface, or a gigabit link.

There's also obsidian-export[1] that converts the few things that are not plain markdown (`[[links]` and `![[links]]`).

To be honest, obsidian not being open source doesn't bother me too much, what is important to me is that I own the data and that it is in a fairly common format so i can move it to another software in 10 years. An open source software with a weird binary format to save the data will probably do more harm in the long term

Hopefully so, but I'd be willing to pay even upto 100 USD. I store a lot of things on 1Password these days that it's very hard to give up, and very convenient. It's not just passwords; medical documents, credit card details, passport, certificates, private notes.

This looks quite odd to me. I don't have perf installed on my machine but when I do

DATA = np.random.rand(300_000_000).astype(np.float32)

I get ~0.24s as a wall time for the normalization calculation on my machine, and

DATA = np.random.rand(300_000_000).astype(np.float64)

Is giving me ~0.33s

You can, but it requires a lot more admin of copying and pasting tasks/descriptions into your calendar from your task or project manager, and having to maintain/update in two separate tools.

For people not using task or project managers, often the calendar is enough (and indeed becomes their task manager). However, if you have tasks coming from everywhere, we make it super easy to do timeblocking quickly/efficiently.
1) agreed. Thats why using the PC for basic calculations is so frustrating.

I really dont understand those who just “fire up an instance of python” to get a simple plot, never mind sin(58)

2) except for the keyboard, the DM-42 does a pretty fine job for what it is meant to do. Od put up with its keyboard before firing up python, thats for sure.

Numworks looks promising?

3) I wont get it to solve 1000x1000 matricies, and the HP48 always felt slower than the 28.

But as far as advanced graphing calculators, what’s really missing?

1password has a corporate offering. We use it at work, and while I haven't thought about to what extent it'd scale to a huge company it works very well for small ones with the ability to e.g. share vaults and manage permissions across users.

But incidentally the same features which makes it great for work also makes it great for me to share access to vaults with my son for example.
If the law firm is making significant profit and this employee is not doing anything additionally shady does it really matter? He provides value to the company regardless of whether or not he is actively working - and if one of his automations fail then he is the one who has to fix it. There are lots of jobs where we pay people for things that do not require a constant work output - think about Firemen for example.

A forward thinking business would promote this guy and then involve him in other aspects of their work to try and optimize and automate wherever they can. The better small / medium size businesses recognize this and realize that IT can be thought of not just as a cost center but also a path to innovation.
SElinux is more capable in theory but so much less usable/discoverable in practice that I suspect anybody who isn't truly dedicated to doing SElinux right will end up averaging better security via the systemd route.

(and I say this based on both observation and personal experience, I have some stuff to harden later this year and I'm really hoping I'll be able to involve somebody who -has- that level of SElinux knowledge but plan B is almost certainly going to be 'mst does his best with the unit configs')
Which forces people to buy those even if it isn't right for them. I've rented a place for 6 months before, both me and the landlord knew it was a 6 month lease and I'd be gone. It was perfect for those 6 months, I'm not sure if i'd have been able to sell after that. I wouldn't want to tie up 100k for 6 months.

So... not "0%" as claimed in the comment I replied to.
Someone who can't be trusted with 100k shouldn't be entrusted to inhabit a house worth 700k. One careless action can easily cause 100k worth of damage to a house. It's probably easier to keep 100k safe than it is to keep at least 600k of value of a 700k house safe.

This is no experiment. This is a single case in a single city that may have been avoidable with other policy decisions.

Ah, the real bias comes out now.

I meant the overlay popup interface by autofill on login forms:

Noted about trusted family members on Bitwarden.

I don't understand the private key part for Bitwarden. I am referring to the one here:

https://support.1password.com/secret-key-security/

Is there an equivalent for Bitwarden?
I know. I chose on purpose an example which is (rather unexpectedly) drawing a lot of power and causing issues. And yet we're not talking about banning them - we're simply regulating them to make sure they don't start fires. Which, sure, I'm perfectly ok with doing for crypto mining rigs as well, if they're not already covered by existing legislation.
Wow, you only take about 2%? (assuming 3% for processing?)
> There's a third option, which is that while not strictly necessary, certain tools can help make a job easier, so why not take advantage of them?

Agreed completely! We used (and are still using, for the infant) a homebrew spreadsheet with a pen and a clipboard. Worked incredibly well for all 3 of our children, who are all under 3 years of age. No apps here, no thanks.

edit/ And, best of all, we didn't have to sort out any bullshit software compatibility issues with our friends or family when they were in the house helping. There's no data export/exfiltration problems. When we wanted to share the feeding log, nap schedule, sleep schedule, diaper changing log, etc., for our twins with a couple we're friends with who had their own twins... I spent maybe 10 minutes scanning 18 months of spreadsheets and emailed it over.
Are there any studies that support this claim? A 7x reduction in housing cost seems pretty crazy to me, especially in some of the land locked cities that I've lived in.

I'm not sure if this is "absolutely new".

A few months ago my wife and I had to do some stuff through the IRS. And in order to login through ID.me. We had do an actual video session with ID.me so they could see our drivers licenses, SSN cards, and a few background questions. In order to verify our identity.

It was a bit time consuming rather than just logging in. But with so much identity theft, I think something like this was inevitable.
There’s no such thing as “pretty diagrams”, lornajane. I believe you simply has boarder interests in life which inherently make inter-links less realistic.
This is one of the main problems with "whole program sandboxes". Many times a program only needs permissions right at the start and then never again. From the outside though there's no way to signal "OK, I'm done, lock me down" for most sandboxing systems.

One approach that may work with systemd is to have two processes. One would be a broker, running as root. It would grab a port, for example. The other process would be spawned by the broker as a limited service and inherit that port from the parent, with no permissions of its own to open it, only to inherit.

IDK how to express that in systemd-land though. At that point you might be better off just writing the code to sandbox things yourself.
Yes, it's true. I think Google rebranded it as part of Google Workspace. I received their email detailing their policy change back in Dec 2020; been an extremely frugal user of it back when it was simply called Google Apps Engine for basic domain email hosting.
Although this could happen, I think it’s unlikely. Apple knows it’s a services company as much as a hardware company now. If you look at their existing services, they are not excluding non-Apple users.

- Apple Music has a web UI and Android app

- FaceTime recently added 3rd party links allowing non-Apple users to join calls

- Keychain is being made compatible with Windows Chrome

It’s clear from raising this much money that 1P owners are doing a “private IPO” or adding more products and features. If it’s a cash out, wouldn’t you want a privacy focused company to buy it instead of VCs funding it and expecting a return? If they are building new features and products, Apple buying it could bankroll that and temper price spikes.
Simply abolish advertising and everything should revert to normalcy. Most of these humanity-corroding AI's were built to link eyeball attention to ad clicks; they won't exist in a world without ads.

American Here... I have a major problem with calling the IRS a "social service", taxing authority is not a social service.
I don't mean that kitsch is the best thing ever, but that art should generally incorporate technical skill, craft, precision, meaning, intention, composition, realism...

Maybe art is undefinable, like pornography ("I know it when I see it"). Any limits on what is and isn't art will be immediately and intentionally explored by modern artists. But those explorations are likely to be unappealing. It's fine to have some artists exploring new ideas, but not in the mainstream.

To put it in context: I live in Houston, and I have relatives staying from China. I took them to one of the few outdoor activities here: The Cullen Sculpture Garden, which is next to the art museums. I've been there a bunch of times, but not since it was renovated a few years back. The whole museum, in fact, was renovated in your standard minimalist modern architecture style.

And, well, they were unimpressed. Most of the sculptures are just simple abstract shapes; you can see what I mean on a Google Image Search. My least favorite are what I call the "trash bags" (https://www.schindlermetalworks.com/mfah-fontana-sculpture.h...). There are some decent humanoid bronze statues, but overall, my relatives found it boring, as did I, and I noticed it was mostly empty of people. I felt like my relatives were thinking: "This is it? A bronze triangle nailed to the wall? This is the best sculpture in town? You think this is cool enough to put on display over here? I traveled around the planet for this?"

There's only one place in Texas they've actually said was beautiful, and it's the State Capitol building in Austin. I noticed it was crowded with people hanging out and appreciating it. It's just a typical neoclassical structure, nothing special if you're used to Europe, but it's actually a nice-looking building.

I just felt like the museum renovation and sculpture garden were such a waste. They could have gotten classical marble statues and put gargoyles all over the building like in Prague, Venice, Vienna, etc., which looks really cool. People visit those cities for their architecture, sculptures, and gardens. Houston had a chance to make something similar, but instead we got more modern crap. We don't have to copy those old styles verbatim, but we shouldn't throw them away, either. We could have done something syncretic that drew from traditional European, Asian, African, and American art traditions, but instead, we got more bland modernist abstract geometric stuff.

At the very least, I think people like to see realism, precision, intricacy, and skill in artwork and architecture. The worst part of modern art is the lack of effort it conveys.

Guess I'm just ranting by now, and should get back to work.
Correct, but also a warning sign. "Boring, hard and important" should rarely, if ever, be left to private companies as an isolated thing. They need to somehow be baked into the model of the other things that use it.

It's the same reason there should be no such thing as a "structural integrity" company separate from the building contractor.

> Is the assumption that all/most landlords have infinite money

Individually, no. As a class, yes. Property rental seems a lot like a Subway franchise in this respect. If one property owner becomes insolvent, the property will be sold to another person who is not. The tenant might be evicted by the new owner but, on average, probably not.

Edit: pardon my obscure Subway reference. Subway franchises are notorious for going out of business with incredible frequency. You'd never notice because an insolvent franchisee's best option is to sell the operating business to another, solvent franchisee. Subway arranges the sales. Then Subway sells more franchises with statements to the effect of "80% of locations have been operating for over 20 years" (not their actual words).
Just as a data point, the Québec government went to extensive lengths to get all nurses to vaccinate. They set a hard dead line for them to do so or else get fired. Seeing that a huge number of them would quit, they tried sweetening the deal with a 15 000$ cash payment if they stayed after the deadline (meaning, they'd have to vaccinate) and a lot of other perks.

Yet, the government had to backdown right before the deadline because they literally could not see how the system wouldn't collapse with how many nurses would still be unvaxxed and thus have to be fired. And that's a government that really likes to show how "tough on covid" it is in a very very vaxxed province where you need a vaccine passport for pretty much everything now.
> I'm not sure I agree that history is "naturally" a series of diffs.

GP cites rerere as evidence it is, and I'm inclined to agree - at least when I'm merging. During a few operations like a bisect, I probably view history as snapshots. But during merges and rebases, I definitely view it as diffs; I question whether someone can even explain these operations abstractly without resorting to a diff-based explanation. And I merge/rebase 100x more than I bisect.
> That goes both ways

Did I imply it doesn't? Evictions are no longer banned at a national scale. So, uh, yeah? We already know it goes both ways. In this special circumstance, the government essentially came in and said "We're not going to allow you to do that type of business for a bit for the sake of society."

Landlords by definition exist because the state allows them to exist. If the state wasn't there, landlords would probably be at the mercy of the 90% - and things would get ugly. So, to keep enjoying those protections that the government is giving, you need to follow circumstantial business changes. Such as a pandemic.

Are you seriously THAT unaware of how the entire US electoral process works? The entire point of the January 6th insurrection was to bully Mike Pence into either refusing to count the certified ballots of certain states to throw the election to the House of Representatives, where Republicans held a majority at the time, or to delay the counting long enough that they would have to again go with those alternative means. They wanted to invalidate the election by force.

It's not "laughable," it's what happened.
I’ve been researching this: original idea is that the 5G signals are “de-sensing” the Instrument Landing Systems (ILS) on airplanes that receive the radar signals from the airport.

The 5G C-band is 3.7-3.98GHz;
The global aeronautical band is 4.2-4.4GHz where supposedly the modern ILS reside..

Of course the planes could be fitted with better instruments with filtering that do not desense from a signal 200MHz(!) away.

I did not find much info on 4GHz ILS so I’m not sure how widespread it is used in airports. Seems that the 110MHz/330MHz system is prelevant. (Which I don’t belive could be affected)

What I’m more interested is the quote from the article: “… compromise not only the radio altimeter systems but the flight control systems on the fly by wire aircraft.”

Does anyone have a guess what fly by wire systems could be affected by those 5G band signals?
Does a tenant's lack of payment effect them negatively in other ways? Like credit report, or ability to get an apartment later (if you evict them after this memorandum)?
There's obviously work in maintaining an inherently depreciating, heavily worn asset. This is true of both landlords and anyone who loans out physical goods as a service.

If free high-quality public housing is available as an alternative to renting, then fine. Otherwise, why should renting not be essentially-risk-free? People don't rent as some sort of risky adventure, they need a place to live.

(*) - Yes, I know that doesn't hold in the US...

How to implement optimized matrix multiplication in pure WebAssembly
Are you sure you are not judging by the standards of mass market ad supported broadcast production vs what these companies seem to be doing in terms of producing content for long tail of smaller but still profitable subscription interest based target audiences?

In the broadcast world, the relevant "inventory" (ie. TV Network Channel time slot) is very limited. Therefore only content with production quality that appeals to a large enough audience to attract advertisers gets greenlit. There's no such limitations in subscription supposed the digital content delivery (aka OTT) economic model. You only have to get sufficient audience to at least recoup your production costs and the minimal per stream delivery costs.

In the past year, my family has binge watched "blown away" a glass blowing competition, 3 series about weird/exotic vacation rentals/hotels, 2 children's mysteries serises, standup comedy by specific comediens, a series about music production and composition styles of different artists and a series about design. All of these above ran multiple seasons, so clearly there's sufficient profitable viewership for multiple seasons to be made even though it's very likely NONE of them would make mainstream broadcast TV. We didn't see any of the "big/popular" shows which do make it to broadcast TV. I'm very sure there are enough households like mine that drives multiple seasons of the above "niche" shows.

The only reason we have cable / broadcast TV connection at all now is when my parents or in-laws visit, they get very bored without their regular TV channels.
