You’re talking about the WHO link specifically? You’re right, that link doesn’t mention secondhand smoke because it doesn’t have a list of major contributors (doesn’t mention cars or factories either). I’d agree it’s probably not a great example of what you’re asking about. I really only posted the WHO link because the WHO uses similar language to the CDC saying things like ‘there are no safe levels of exposure to pollution.’ Might not answer your question, but I think the WHO pollution guidelines published a few months are good reading (https://apps.who.int/iris/handle/10665/345329).

To clarify what I was talking about above, I’m saying the close exposure to smokers is high in urban areas -- in proximity, frequency, and density. There’s also broad consensus that the risks and harms of secondhand smoke are greater in proportion to proximity of the smokers, and that downtown urban areas where people congregate have higher concentrations of cigarette smoke than other places. I’m not personally claiming that average Pm2.5 air quality over time sees a measurable impact from cigarettes. (Even if true, I would expect cigarettes are dwarfed by cars --- but 6 trillion cigarettes a year isn’t nothing, right?) I’m really primarily claiming that being in an urban area like a downtown city center is high exposure to secondhand smoke, being very close to smokers is often a many times per hour occurrence in busy urban areas, walking and entering/exiting buildings.

The CDC link does reference the Surgeon General’s report, which links to a whole pile of primary sources on secondhand smoke. You can also Google around for primary sources for links between smoking and general air pollution. I just tried and found a handful of papers studying outdoor smoke exposure levels, e.g., https://erj.ersjournals.com/content/48/3/918. The main consensus that I see is that for a range of small distances like 10-20 feet, outdoor exposure is plenty high enough to be very concerned about the risks, and that high traffic areas can collect smoke and increase exposure.
Imagine thinking Ivermectin is only "worshiped" by the "scientifically challenged". What an ignorant and stupid-ass thing to say, and the only reason for saying it is a consumption of crap from mainstream media outlet.
> As much as you might hate it, tips keeps you just above minimum wage 95% of the time.

At least here in California, I’m pretty sure there’s no special tipped minimum wage, so what you’re saying doesn’t apply.

Just to piggyback on this, the source code for the BSD utils is eminently readable and simple, almost always more so than the equivalent GNU options. I understand that there are reasons for this, and I'm obviously very grateful for all sorts of GNU software. But if I want to see how something works, I'm going to go for the BSD sources first if they exist.

That's not a great comparison. The author probably should have compared Docker with Webassembly.

Kubernetes isn't really about running many containers sharing a physical hardware. You can do that with Docker as well. What Kubernetes offers that Docker does not offer, is self-healing and resilience when managing many containers spread across many underlying nodes. There is no monolithic "Kubernetes" running. Rather, Kubernetes is designed as a set of microservices loosely coupled and maintaining desired states. The resiliency comes from that design.

Because it is architected as microservices, Kubernetes is also extensible. Operators, for example, which manage a single distributed system (such as etcd, or postgres, or mongodb) can only be created because Kubernetes was architected as a set of loosely-coupled microservices.

WebAssembly is the container runtime without the orchestration capabilities. However, Kubernetes is capable of being modified such that it can schedule, orchestrate, and manage WebAssembly containers: https://cloudblogs.microsoft.com/opensource/2020/04/07/annou...
Yes, but social norms don’t come out of nowhere. It was 15% for a long time, then it went to 18% (why 18? I can see the jump to 20% as people wanting to do easier math than 18%). Someone somewhere had to have created this new social norm.
IANAL, but this depends on the jurisdiction. In some places (e.g. Ontario, Canada), e-signatures are fine; often this is because the law explicitly says they have the same effect as a "wet" signature. In this case, "looking real" doesn't enter into it.

In others (e.g. Denmark), you don't even need to sign - merely stating your intent to accept a contract, and having a clear record of that intention, is enough. In this case, again, "looking real" is a non-issue; you can even send an email in some cases.

In yet others, you will definitely be asked for a "wet" signature, and a digital signature is not considered legally acceptable. Here looking real could matter; if your signature is obviously non-physical, it may be refused.

This also varies by situation. In some places, banks want to see a wet signature, _and_ will compare it with an existing wet signature they have on file. In this case, it very much matters how real it looks, where "real" means "matches this other real signature". (Does this make sense? Arguably no, but that's the way it currently is.)
I worked at several restaurants, and not high end ones. on average, I probably made 25% over minimum wage. I had essentially zero marketable skills at the time, so my only alternatives actually paid minimum wage. I was a big fan of tipping.

Wasm is a compile target.
You can use tools like wasmtime to handle isolation and linking in wasi (the system interface).

In that sense, wasmtime is an alternative to runc for wasm/wasi.

In no way is any of this a replacement for a high level tool like docker.
So in your world there are only games employing the latest features, and "retro" games from the 80s and the 90ies, and nothing else? Ok.

As far as I know WebGPU doesn't lack any significant features beside raytracing (They are prioritizing the MVP, and raytracing could come later). Some of the newest features like mesh shaders are not yet supported by the native engines either, because there isn't a sufficient hardware base. Intel for example will support mesh shaders only in the yet to be released Alechemist GPU.
I have to disagree. It all depends on the value I receive which some are a bit better than before.

For example for Office365 Home you get 5 licenses including 1TB of OneDrive all for $99/year.

If I had to pay for just one Office Suite License(word, ppt, excel) would be around $200(low end). If I needed 5 that would be $1000. Now divide that $1000 over how many years you would probably use before wanting upgrade which for me would be 3-5. At 5 years it is average $200/year for lesser product because it doesn’t even include the value of 1TB OneDrive.

Thus 99$/year is cheaper in my mind and I am happy to pay them instead of looking for for some pirated version. It just works and I get newest version whenever it is released.

TinySeed != traditional VC

The biggest problem most people have with traditional VC and thus prefer to "bootstrap" is the pressure to grow too fast. TinySeed has none of that pressure. Boostrapping vs VC is a spectrum and Scrapping Bee is clearly on the bootstrapped side of that spectrum.
> consumers that need a static IPv4 can get it

Not necessarily. Some ISPs and majority of cell providers in Europe only give you CGN IPv4. No IPv6, no static option.
Besides the author’s v points about the poor working conditions, I was struck by the points about transit costs. I am curious how much of the current labor situation in the US can be explained by the combination of 1) geographic wealth segregation —- richer consumers clustering together while generally poorer service workers have to live far away —- and 2) high gas prices / underdeveloped public transit. At some point as both of these factors increase, there should be a big drop off in available workers. Is this consistent with the pattern we are seeing?
Ok this is a good and difficult question.

For _our particular service_ this happens, but that's partially because the service is designed to scale to very large customers and the market has set a price for cloud computing resources. Companies already spend money on infrastructure, we're not having to convince them to do that from scratch. We do have to convince them to point that firehose our direction.

What you're doing is more difficult. In general, big companies will spend $10k per month as easily as they'll spend $2.4k per month. It's equally difficult to convince them to do either.

Does filestash get used by multiple people in an organization? If I were trying to price this, I'd invent a "per user" price and target $500/mo for small organizations (like $50/user). Enterprises don't love per user prices that scale, so it gives you a story for "we'll give you unlimited users for $10k per month".

I am more than happy to talk more about this if you want to send me an email, but I'm mostly guessing about OSS licensing. I haven't done the work for real.
> Windows will happily run GUI apps written 20 years ago.

Don't think this is true anymore. Old software on Windows just isn't guaranteed to work anymore. Last time I tried to play an old game on newer Windows versions, it didn't even start up despite automatic and manual installation of a ton of dependencies. I suppose the Raymond Chen stories about heroic bug fixing in third party code is a thing of the past.

I sort of doubt it given all the folks infected I know this time have either been vaccinated, or have been infected. It was a depressing realization I had yesterday.

> Should a child struggle to access online learning simply because their parents have chosen to live in a rural location? Should a family in a town struggle when several children need to attend classes online,

Children who struggle to learn in rural areas and have parents who can afford a hundred dollars a month, plus equipment costs? Assuming that the cost to use Starlink doesn't rise (how many 35k Teslas actually shipped)? Seems like a vanishingly small population right there.

And the percentage of that population that is middle class (the part that cannot help themselves) seems even smaller. I'm not concerned about children hanging out at their parent's 70,000 acre vacation ranch.

MicroCOVID Project – Estimate COVID risk and find effective safety measures
The parent comment wasn't talking about systemic risk, but personal: anybody who's able to grok the parent comment's point about this potentially not providing any incremental safety is capable of understanding that it doesn't warrant relaxing other constraints.

Ie,there's an easy path here to reduce your likely risk by applying this potential mitigation without changing anything else. The fact that there are people too dumb to take this option (which I agree with you about) has no bearing on an individual's decision to do so.

While natural in terms of just inputting numbers, it's also not bad to use as first guess because primes are denser (in an "average absolute distance" sense) the lower the magnitude you're around. Without having checked, I would expect there to be more primes of the form 123** than 987**, so you're more likely to gain correct digits with this guess.

Edit: I checked, it's 9 vs 8 primes. But nearby prefixes also have more and there's a lot of variance. Still, there are overall more primes among the same range of smaller numbers (1000-5499 has ~4400 primes, 5500-99999 has ~4000).

Note that, despite this, you probably shouldn't include 0 in the starting guess (e.g. 10247) because 0 will be in the solution less frequently (can't be the leading digit), meaning you gain less info on average.
I knew that, and I do run macOS, but the signature always looks "digital" to me. It's not bad, but with Krita and it's pen or pencil brushes, in combination with a decent drawing tablet (well, as decent as a Huion screen tablet is) with a pressure-sensitive pen, I can get something that looks outright indistinguishable to a physical signature.
Oh my goodness, I have dealt with a pedantic bureaucrat who rejected my signed PDF and insisted on the hand signature hahaha. So I printed the document out with my digital signature pasted twice, one below the other, and added a couple sharpie smudges to the bottom one before scanning to quietly “insist back” that there’s no difference between my manual and digital one. Regardless, The automaton was satisfied!
It's one of those things where having mitigations on the widely used ones doesn't necessarily address the problem, and banning them entirely would probably only stop the casual use of them.

If you want a real look at things, I'd suggest looking at servers discussing places that try to eliminate tipping. When tipping is discussed generally, it's often discussed like in this article - talking about how restaurants are only paying $2.13 an hour, how this or that customer didn't tipped or tipped almost nothing, how on this particular night they made almost nothing, etc.

But if you talk about getting rid of tipping and replacing it with a living age? Look at the comments from this Reddit discussion some years ago (so the numbers are even higher when you factor in inflation) discussing Joe's Crab Shack's interest in getting rid of tips[1]:

> But if you are doing good volume and the prices arent insanely cheap I cant see how youre only making $15 an hour. Are you in a poor section of town where people dont have much money? Do you get a lot of foreign tourists as clientele? I mean, $15 an hour I can make while asleep. But Im in Philly. Prices arent insane usually but they arent cheap. Plus its one of the best tipping cities in the country. Personally I wont take a shift if Im not confident Ill make at least $20 an hour. For me its not worth my time.

**

> This may or may not be close to the industry standard, but my last restaurant, I probably made somewhere around $25/hr (tips + wage). Restaurant before that was way more high volume, and even though we didn't really get paid an hourly wage, I would guess we made about $30/hr or so. On good nights and the bartenders? Probably even more.

**

> I was bored out of my mind all 6 hours of my shift tonight and made $14X, so call it $150, aka $25 an hour. Oh, and that's with a stiff on $120, and a $6 on $94

**

> Because serving tables isn't a job anyone would do for $7.75 an hour. It's not an easy job to excel at. I'll stay making my $25 an hour. Thanks.

**

> This is what people outside of the industry don't seem to get. Strong servers arn't going to stick around for anything less than $20 an hour.

I hope so. And for that matter, I hope that WebGPU makes it out of the browser as well. It's a modern API, based upon Metal, that has an execution model much closer to actual GPUs, much like Vulkan/DX12, while still handling some of the hairy scheduling/dependency issues for you, as well as lacking the incredible verbosity of the modern APIs.

> Is it even possible to have zero undefined behavior in languages that allow user-defined pointers?

It kinda boils down to what exactly you mean by defined behavior. A C programmer's take might be that you can run a conforming program in an emulated abstract machine and get defined results out of it. And then you can run the same thing on real hardware and expect to get the same result (modulo implementation defined behavior). This definition leaves some things out (e.g. performance, observable effects in the "real world") but it captures the computational semantics.

Another programmer's take might be more akin to a portable assembler. In that case, you certainly could define reads and writes for arbitrary pointers, in the sense that they must cause corresponding (attempted) loads and stores at the machine level. However, the definition wouldn't be complete since it inevitably leaves much to the underlying implementation. Thus you could have "defined" C programs that show completely different behaviors depending on which implementation and hardware you used. It would be impossible to say what the program's output must be "in the abstract." For someone who just wants to output assembly, maybe that's fine. I'm not sure other people would be too satisfied with it. An out of bounds write could still blow up your program and be remotely exploitable; practically the same thing as undefined behavior, except that now your compiler is also barred from optimizing.

There's quite a bit of tension between these two camps.

Alternatively, you could fully define it at a great runtime cost and potential exclusion of real hardware implementations.
This article is funny, but I actually did sit down one weekend and read a book on Word (I think it was Word 2007). I was actually shocked at how complex and sophisticated a word-processing tool could get. Even back then there were a lot of surprisingly useful features like footnote processing and multi-document support that I never even would have thought of looking for.
