The BoltDB issue seems like straight up bad design. Needing a freelist is fine, needing to sync the entire freelist to disk after every append is pants on head.
Fifteen years is nearly 20 years. So, both is correct. I'm not sure what your point is other than splitting hairs.
I think the headline is wrong. Sideloading or alternate app stores wouldn't be required, thats not the purpose of the bill. Sideloading and alternate app stores is a legitimate privacy/security problem that will be exempted under the bill.

>"unless necessary for the security or functioning of the covered platform," from https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-bill/299...

I think it would actually be very good for the app store, outlawing a lot of the restriction that Apple places on things like payments.

I really don't know what to think about the bill overall. It would definitely have the largest impact on Amazon, their basics line would pretty much be killed by the law. Google rankings would also be overhauled, no more flights at the top of the page.

The testimony in support of the bill by Sonos [0] and Tile [1] is also a good read.

Your romanticization of post WWII conditions is highly inaccurate. Black middle class expanded because of migration insofar as segregation and maltreatment allowed.

Take Silicon Valley. Segregation was legal and often preferred there until 1964 so the growing Black middle class was systematically denied entry in the 1950s to the growing job potential there. How many Blacks worked at HP in 1960s, or Intel in 1970s? How many Blacks worked at a mechanic shop or a cleaning service or a coffee place or any auxiliary business in Silicon Valley in the post WWII era, so their children could gain a foothold in the schools and the massive wealth creation engine? How many Black dental hygienists were there in Santa Clara county? Secretaries? Schoolteachers? Firefighters?

How many Black friends did Steve Jobs have in grade school in the 1960s?
The extremes always vote, many moderates only bother to vote if you can convince them the other side are totally insane/evil/stupid and life as they know it is going to be over if the other side get into/remain in power.

So politicians in particular get very good at making the other side look extremely insane, evil and stupid.

The better they are at that (lying) the better they do in elections.

So...the politicians who would be good for us tend to have integrity and strong personal beliefs about lying, and so tend to do poorly in elections.

Which leaves us with everyone else.
Though I have never seen anyone till now call TypeORM a fine choice.
Sure, but again, the author is explicitly not arguing that. Look:

> They keep inventing "revolutionary new ways" of doing the same thing that could be done in a dozen ways already. And they do that by coating more and more and more unnecessary complexity on top of existing technology stacks.

He's mad that the tools exist at all. He's going after the people making them, not just using them.
They are also notorious for finding increasingly cleverer ways of escaping aquariums. Which again adds to the case that an aquarium is not a suitable environment.
There are 48 Democratic senators and 2 independents. I'd have to look at why each of those 17 decided to vote against banking reform. It's not like it's as simple as "conservative" or "not conservative", which is exactly what I'm calling reductive.
The international companies that build airports are absolutely not the same companies that build nuclear power plants.

Thomas Hobbes’s Leviathan shaped modern politics
Almost like its core mission statement was only led by the voluntary virtuosity of its participants - and wasn't as novel as previously thought. Huh.
People think a monolithic kernel can be faster because of high-level abstractions that make many calls within the kernel, for example if I write to a TCP socket and everything else is handled for me, in the kernel, by function calls only. People believe this is faster than having an isolated network stack that has to pass messages to an isolated network driver and all that.

But increasingly people realize that the performance of writing to a TCP socket in a unikernel also pretty much sucks and you get a much better result as you move more and more of it into user space. For example you decide, correctly, that TCP is obsolete and you switch to QUIC. Now the existence of the Linux TCP stack is of no value to you. You furthermore discover that Linux firewall, traffic control, and routing also kinda sucks, so you start using raw networking. Then you discover that trying to get your frames processed on the right core at the right moment isn't great in Linux, so you just take over the whole net device with DPDK.

Now, nothing in the whole Linux network stack is of any use to you at all.

The same thing can happen with storage. Maybe you started with files on XFS but then eventually you were using disaggregated storage where a service takes over the whole device with SPDK, and all the storage users are talking to the service instead of the kernel.
These discrepancies in law enforcement practices don't just arise out of the subjectivity inherent in enforcing rules. In the US, Black people and Black communities have long been policed differently than White people and White communities. There is a culture of systemic anti-Blackness in many if not most police departments. It is seen by many on the left to be so entrenched in the US system of policing and police culture that reform is not possible, hence the defund the police movement.

When I ran my BBS in the 80s, it was hosted on an 8 bit machine with 2 3.5 drives; however the BBS software itself which included all pages of the ‘site’ where on a ram disk of 256kb so they would load ‘instantly’. The 2 disks contained (weekly refreshed) public domain software and demos.

Now I am curious if I put it online (I still have the machine) how it would work. Seems fun to do.
The explanation on the Haskell Wiki isn’t too obscure (if you already know Haskell) and has examples:

> Can anyone explain the argument they're trying to make?

If Facebook removes their app from the App Store (or cripples it), and says you have to side load this app, most Americans will do so. Even if that app violates a number of user-friendly policies. The OS, of course, could enforce that at a technical level, which weakens the argument significantly.

Also lots of people will click links and side load spam apps, but that’s par for the course.
This site is pretty neat! It's a bit weird it doesn't have Menlo, Monaco, etc. to compare to some widespread fonts. I'm not sure what I'd pick if those were mixed in.
> "Defund the police" is not a slogan. It's a policy demand ... designed to fix a problem

The "police" in this article are not a cost center, but rather a profit center. So, problem fixed?

I agree that the cancerous police budgets consuming municipal budgets is a problem, but the even deeper problem is that they're not bound by the law they purport to uphold. "Defund" does nothing to advocate for legal accountability, which is the primary problem.
Apple countersues Ericsson, seeks U.S. import ban against mobile base stations
Denver, too. DPD budget is higher than ever before, and they can't be bothered to respond to calls like:

- non-lethal car accidents
- disturbances of the peace
- illegal drug selling/use in public spaces
- car thefts
- break-ins

Let alone deal with predatory towing, which has really taken off in town, too. With crime skyrocketing and housing costs higher than they've ever been, I really don't understand why anyone would want to live here any more.
>It sounds a bit presumptive of a universal morality rather than a logical statement.

Logical statements just by themselves are for Logicians and/or theorem provers.

But they're also useless by themselves (just an axiomatic rule sustitution game).

75 years, actually.

I don't mind trusting what someone says, but I need to be able to verify it.
The BMJ seems to be on good form. First publishing the whistle blower account of pfizer [1], and now this call for raw vaccine trial data.

I commend them on this approach, and can only hope that the vaccines are as safe and effective as we have been told.

You know where else I can side-load apps? Desktop PCs. You know what my in-law's desktop PCs are full of? Spy-ware and search bars and other crap they got tricked into side-loading.

Here's how I think this will go down:

1. Some indie developers and hobbyists will be enabled by not having to pay $99/year and jump through hoops to distribute apps. That will be good.

2. Some mainstream apps will require side-loading to get around the Apple tax for purchases, but they won't lower their prices. That will redirect some money from Apple to Amazon or EA or whoever. Thats bad for Apple, good for those companies, but I don't think it will affect most people very much, except for a better flow for in-app purchases where you're current directed to the web-site.

3. The mainstream apps eventually condition people that side-loading is an okay way to get legitimate app. Then publishers will leave the app-store in mass, and the crapware will be as prolific as on PCs. This will be bad.

4. Side-loading will enable piracy, and so honest users will suddenly become more burdened by software DRM type crap. This will be bad.

I am honestly not convinced the good that comes from #1, and the connivence that come from #2 are worth the costs of #3 and #4.
And collect tax on $20,000 in sales instead of $10,000? Maybe they would be happy if car companies used this scheme.
Apple defends their absolute control over software that runs on their devices by arguing that malicious actors could give instructions for sideloading malware.

It's too bad these Chromium "specs" tend to be pretty low quality and rushed. They're then never changed because "too bad, we shipped it already, can't break the web!" See the garbage they tried to push in the form of NaCl, WebSQL, etc.
I really respect your decision to choose your streaming service based on how they each pay out artists. I work for an independent label and the most recent analysis we did shows that in the US, Apple was paying out roughly just under $0.007 (7/10 of a penny) / stream, while Spotify was paying out around $0.004. These rates go down as you bring a more international user base, depending on where in the world the music was consumed. Of those payouts, depending on the clout of the artist, they're typically only seeing their 15-20% royalty of those payout rates on the recorded music side (music publishing is a different story). So it's even worse than it seems!

A big reason that Apple is able to pay out higher rates is they're fully a premium business model with no ad-supported tier (they have a free trial period though). Due to Spotify's ad-supported tier, artists are able to reach a more cost-sensitive consumer, but at a lower overall blended rate per stream.
Doesn't it actually come into English from Latin (in its later academic/international use, rather than the classical language)?

But in any case, it's English, not Latin or misspelled Greek, and octopi seems to at least be the oldest evident English plural of octopus, AFAIK, though octopuses seems to be experiencing current popularity, and octopodes is just...no, though the suggestion once made that English ought to adopt octopods, wasn't bad, but never caught on.

https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/what-the-heck-happened-to-t... has some stuff to say about the author (about 2/3 the way down), including signing a petition doubting that HIV causes AIDS.

> Indeed, Doshi has history of playing footsie with the antivaccine movement, amplifying antivaccine conspiracy theories, downplaying the severity of influenza and thus feeding antivaccine narratives, using sleight-of-hand to downplay the effectiveness of flu vaccines, and generally playing the role of a false skeptic with respect to vaccines. At this point, I can’t help but note that Doshi also once signed a petition “questioning” whether HIV causes AIDS.
> in social terms, it has taken a big toll, significantly isolating me from the world, which I didn't admit until very recently.

counterpoint: my entire social scene, and all of my best friends, came from a subculture that I found on an internet mailing list, on a listserv run by the guy who made the Apache webserver. A bunch of my other friends came from IRC.

If it weren't for the 'net, I'm not sure I'd have any good people in my life at all.
It's a good question.

So, by default, where I live in Chicago you can't do anything at all. I was told by the Sheriff not to even leave my bedroom for any reason when I first got here. I live in a big commercial building, so I ignored their advice. I have an ankle monitor which uses GPS and cell network triangulation, so they know my rough position at all times. This means they knew I was wandering around, taking my dog for a walk around the building etc. The Sheriff would send people over constantly to harass me. I did a FOIA request to see their logs and it was funny to see that they have police constantly tagging my movements with quotes which basically say "Look, this guy isn't going anywhere, he is just walking around his building, we don't need to bother him" - but obviously there are dozens of different people working at the HQ and some aren't so kind.

I think it took over two months before I persuaded the judge to let me get groceries and go to the laundromat. So I have two hours on Mon/Tues/Thurs to get what I need. But I am supposed to go straight there and straight back.

There is a new law in Illinois which says I get two days a week to do what I want, but apparently because of poor coding in their computer system I can't get it because my jail ID ends in an odd number.

It is also a new law now that they can't charge you with "prison escape" for going outside your house unless you are gone for more than 48 hours. [people ended up with years in prison simply for taking their trash to the Dumpster behind their house]

tl;dr: I can now, after some hassle, get groceries. I cannot go to the doctor. When I needed my booster I timed the appointment so I could run into Walgreens on the way to the grocery store so they didn't notice I'd taken a detour. It might take me several months to get the judge to sign off on a doctor's appointment. If I'm dying I can go to the hospital, but I better have every scrap of paperwork and be willing to prove I was actually dying as I've known a couple of people who have ended up going back to jail after going to the hospital. [one guy took his daughter in an emergency - the judge told him he had no excuse for taking her as he could have just called an ambulance to take her and stayed at home]
The way they're paying kids and what they're telling them is a big part of the problem... they're pushing a lot of the problematic game development industry onto kids that are sometimes as young as 10.

Banks might be protected under some federal legislation, but overall it doesn't really make much sense for any sizeable bank to insure themselves with some other party. For any non-rare event it's much easier to just keep some emergency money at hand. The only thing it'd make sense to insure themselves against are large scale damages that exceed the amount they can reasonably write off, but if the damages exceed the amount of funds a bank has readily available then there's little chance anyone else can cough up that amount of money other than the government.

Yeah, that's why I think making part of the taxes non-electable could be a solid choice. That way, you can still give the government some autonomy for spending, just not all of it (because from my jaded perspective, governments aren't the best at decision making or execution).

Still, technically true though I'd think. Mutants aren't human. The X-Gene makes them "Homo sapiens superior" and distinguishes them from humans who were mutated by other means (radiation, spider bites, etc).

There have been multiple discussions on HN about cloud vs not cloud and there are endless amount of opinions of "cloud is a waste blah blah".

This is exactly one of the reasons people go cloud. Introducing an additional AZ is a click of a button and some relatively trivial infrastructure as code scripting, even at this scale.

Running your own data center and AZ on the other hand requires a very tight relationship with your data center provider at global scale.

For a platform like Roblox where downtime equals money loss (i.e. every hour of the day people make purchases), then there is a real tangible benefit to using something like AWS. 72 hours downtime is A LOT, and we're talking potentially millions of dollars of real value lost and millions of potential in brand value lost. I'm not saying definitively they would save money (in this case profit impact) by going to AWS, but there is definitely a story to be had here.

My point was that you listed 3 factors and asserted that the overlap in a venn diagram would have little overlap. In fact the venn diagram ought to look more like a circle.

All users who signed up for google apps at your domain are in A people who initially signed up. People in B are those who haven't switched away. C are those who are unwilling to pay $72 per user per year.

A->B Very few users change email addresses very frequently because we accumulate 100 or even hundreds of pages with signups under a single address, phones set up under our google account, oauth sign ins, apps and games purchased under our google account. Google accounts are much more sticky than regular email accounts and people rarely abandon those. I would venture to guess the list of active accounts in B is most of A.

B->C Very few people who signed up for $10 a year for 10-50 addresses are going to be onboard with paying between $720 and $3600 a year. C includes 99.9% of B.
