First off, you guys rule for doing this. I been dreaming about a general purpose userspace/unprivileged wireguard wrapper, this gets us closer to that.

1. Could you include more info on which userspace tcp/ip stack you use and why? I presume doing userspace UDP is relatively trivial/fast compared to what slirp had to do with tcp.

2. How does flyctl hijack syscalls across Linux and Windows? Is there some abstraction to do that? Wasn't even aware this was a pattern on Windows.

I realize I could read the code, but would appreciate some direction.

Kudos for the websocket proxy too! Would be really cool if this and the unprivileged wireguard became standard parts of wireguard toolset.
If i remember correctly, the cards used in Jacquard looms were then used for voting tabulation in the 1920s, by a small company called IBM. When computers came around in the early 40s, they were available as a source of input. This is where I first heard of jacquard looms anyway.
Even later for poor/lower class people - my mom was born in the early 1950s and she didn't start brushing her teeth until her teens. I used to think losing all your teeth was a natural part of aging.
You're witnessing a few things, I think:

- the culture of modesty affected both men's and women's dress and grooming habits, women somewhat more, but men also quite significantly

- stylistic haircuts were not available in rural settings without professional barbers/hairdressers

- clothes were not as stretchy; cotton and wool were coarser, nylon more rigid, polyester and spandex nonexistent

- the economics of the time favored thicker, more durable fabrics over thin, friable, wears-a-hole-after-one-year fast fashion fluff

- sun exposure, particularly among white people in the United States (which is much sunnier than Europe), was rarely avoided or mitigated, particularly among the working class

- childhood nutrition was worse, particularly among the lower classes in the period between the first wave of enclosure/monoculture/industrialization of agriculture and the dawn of nutrition science (hence fortification)

- these are images that the government did not want to show people, of course there's a higher prevalence of unattractive people!

> It's useful for flushing the unthinking conformists out of the underbrush.

you know how its annoying asfuck to reed shit without punctuatuin and capitals and possible misspeeled and those fuckers who never use the shift period or comma keys get read a lot less than they might just because its too much drudgery to shlep through their texts? your abit like that and i dont think thats what your going for

One would think you write to be read; to inform, argue, hopefully convince (and possibly even entertain?). This silly affectation is jarring; it breaks up the reading flow and often makes at least me give up. I may be more sensitive than most to sh...tuff like this, but surely I can't be all alone in it.

So what you're doing is just robbing yourself of an audience. Is that really what you want?

OK, maybe it is: We're "unthinking conformists". So... Why do you use correct spelling, punctuation, and capitalization? The nitwits my first paragraph imitates all say that's the real, you know, sign that you're, like, square. Are you perhaps more of an "unthinking conformist" than you'd care to admit -- above all, to yourself?
Instead of stating "I dont believe that" how about you post some data to the contrary?
Funny my thought was I didn’t see very many obese people, and that if the people in these photos were looking at photos of modern society they would probably wonder why so many people are overweight.

I know it was the depression, but I’m going to go out on a limb and say that’s not the reason (I don’t imagine any of them were obese prior to the depression).

Anyway, your point could be just a bias…I’d say spend some time scrolling through something like “people of Walmart” photos and see if you change your mind.
macOS allows argc == 0, it has a separate mechanism for providing the exec path of the executable to the process, namely the KERN_PROCARGS2 sysctl which includes the saved exec path along with argc, argv, envp, and the apple pointer.

Amusingly enough, Apple has had a bug in their `ps` since 10.3 that assumes argc > 0, which actually results in a similar (but not likely harmful, despite ps being setuid) bug.
We can build amazing products and not be terrible to other people/companies. Companies rely on public funding and public technologies and therefore are accountable to do right by the public. We always make this false dichotomy of “good products or good companies” and it’s just not true

I think they misinterpreted the statictics which they linked. According to a https://www.census.gov/newsroom/stories/single-parent-day.ht... it is 23%, assuming that the share between boys and girls is the same, which is still a lot but not 40%.
The reason most people want to be rich is to have a good lifestyle. Sure, lifestyle inflation is a thing and you want to have money in the bank for emergency and retirement, but being the old guy with lots of money is no better than being the old guy with a solid retirement fund if you're just going to sit on the money.
I think a lot of the answer is just that read dominated workflows are basically solved. If you don't have substantial write volume, just use a B+ tree and index everything.
I dont think you entirely have this right. Labour theory of value is useful in very narrow ways. It doesn't tell you anything about the money supply. The victorian economic model has been subsumed by more recent developments which include MMT, and complex derivatives and IPR. Victorian economists who had good maths would be fine. Victorian economists who believed their own bullshit might struggle.

Robotics poses many questions about price/cost disfunction. As does the effect the internet/dot-com boom has had on the return on investment for tech capital outlay. (time was a telephone switch was a 50 year investment and an office PBX had a 15 year tax write off. Computers have 3y MAX life and typically return in 18 months or less, so when everything is a computer, how can it have an asset depreciation schedule more than 3 years worst-case?)

IPO is a cancer on society. Don't get me started on NFTs and the chain hype.

Australia, which gutted out its manufacturing, is riding a boom in Oil, Coal, Iron ore and now Lithium. we're good. (while it lasts) But the jobs distortion reality field here is huge: People fly-in fly-out so in principle there is no pressure on local housing in the rural mine locations. In reality, there is huge price pressure everywhere, irrespective. Nobody talks about the future burden of 65+ year old retirees who expect public health and return on market to fund their lifestyle from a shrinking workforce, or the massive rort in house value. When the boomers die, either millions will disappear in hyperinflation, or in depreciating asset value, or there will be a glorious transfer of wealth to the balding younger generation who secretly wished their parents had died sooner.

You might hate Varoufakis, I don't know, but "adults in the room" is entertaining to read. He did a lot of work on inflationary trends in MMORPG before helping Greece pour fuel on the fire. I wish more was written about that. Massive raids on the intergalactic scene do two things: they bond the tribe, and they're potlach, destroying surplus capital to renew the energy in the game.

I like reading 'the tablet' -they've always had to take the long view.
The real story behind last week's jobs report
It was almost definitely on their TCAS but that’s not usually something you’re looking at when barreling down the runway about to take off
The way google/apple/samsung pay work is that there is a secure element that is running its own OS that contains applications. For contactless payment (the consumer side), there are apps that implement the EMV NFC standards and also interface with the tokenization services that are run by the card issuers.

In this case, it's a different sort of application that provides the merchant side of the EMV transaction, provisioned as part of the PCI SPoC standard (https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/assessors_and_solutions...).

SPoC relaxes some of the physical security requirements while enhancing online monitoring (of the application and security of keys etc) and approval of an end-to-end implementation.

So the SPoC standard will allow merchant side payment processing without needing specific PA-DSS compliant readers etc, because the end-to-end between the secure PIN reader (SCR-P standard) and the SPoC monitoring replaces that.
That'll buff out.
Why does this have to be so complicated. Serious question, could you point a CCD with dirty lens in front of it and point it towards the trees moving randomly all day from wind ?

> Your idea is that without getting paid, people will just provide public health work for free, because they .... ?

Because it’s the right thing to do, and people like helping each other and doing the right thing. There are other motivating factors for most people over money. Human beings are generally good and generally do the right thing.
> My opinions are always wrong but sometimes less wrong than others.

"My opinions are always wrong but some times less wrong than others."

There, FTFY. Now it makes sense: Some times they're less wrong than other times.

Anything in particular that you would recommend?
My dream scenario:

Several open source vendors get tired of Amazon taking their innovation, repackaging, and reselling it. They band together to create the strictest open source license ever. Stricter than AGPL3: "If you run this as PAAS, your entire PAAS down to the billing layer must be open. Every ounce of your code. Even the internal employee management bits. Maybe you're allowed a budget of 30kloc secret blob sauce, but that's it."

It should also say: "All billing reports must be instantaneous, easy to understand, and attributable to the products and the teams that use them." And: "Egress should never cost more than ingress, and high quality export tools must be provided for every service offered."

Use this as the foundation to build a fully open source cloud platform with the tools anyone could use to stand up their own data centers.

It would be a dream to see cloud reduced to commodity. Then open source vendors could make good money on support contracts, focusing on the software they love building rather than being eaten out of house and home by the giants.
The island of St. Barths, an EU member in the Carribean, has a famously difficult airport that operates scheduled passenger flights with no tower.

Technically part of Europe.

There’s nothing inherently dangerous about an untowered airport, or anything inherently safer about towered ones. In the US and Canada, untowered airports account for a majority of takeoffs and landings.

Also keep in mind that untowered doesn’t mean not talking to ATC.

Someone here fucked up severely, but keep in mind that the deadliest aviation incident ever happened in Europe at a towered field (Tenerife).
The iPhone has a secure element that will allow for it to implement the SCRP (Secure Card Reader for PIN) PCI standard.

So this allows for an iPhone/iPad/Android phone/tablet to implement EMV contact/contactless payments (obviously contact would require a physical card reader). Contactless payments above floor limits (eg in Australia $100) can require a PIN that would be entered through the tablet.
It's used in the Star Trek TOS episode "Shore Leave". That's where I learned it. Long predates most video games and military sci-fi.
I've heard this before, but it isn't really true any more. We all eat soft, processed foods now with little differences between classes. Although we also have much more advanced dentistry, so it isn't necessarily very obvious either
Also stress is probably whole different level than modern day people.
FRAM is pretty neat. I considered using an MSP430FR5969-SP for a component on a satellite but backed off when I learned more about the destructive read process. We were concerned about a transient bitflip during the write back and had no where safe to store program code other than the FRAM itself. Instead, we went with a RISC-V core in an FPGA and used an 8 channel ADC to cover the telemetry reporting the MSP430 was supposed to handle. I spent a lot of time writing fast, safe code for it so was a little disappointed it never made it into the final design.
I got a Peloton a few years ago, and it was the best purchase ever. I always hated exercising, but the Peloton is convenient enough that it doesn't bother me, and I actually enjoy it. I'm on a 100 weeks streak, and try to do at minimum 20min every day.

I normally put one of the classes in the background, and then use the time to watch videos on YT or listen to audiobooks on my phone, so in theory any spinning bike would do it. But I think the Peloton UI, app, metrics, etc, helps keep you going.

I also do a 30min walk with the family. Good as a warm-up before cycling.
> For instance, many Russians believe (or are aware that others believe) that disfigured people can cast "evil eye" magic or rob them of their health by association.

Uhhh.

> Who are we to say that YouTube should not accommodate viewers who feel this way?

Not catering to superstitious peasants from the 12th century would be a reasonable starting point. Evil eye magic indeed. For crying out loud. No amount or moral relativism can obviate the harm of bigotry against the disabled.

He was with the Ethereum Foundation and ENS. Is Ethereum Foundation rotten to the core as well?
Mid-20s is nothing, especially if your peer group is college educated. My wife and I married at 25 a bit over 20 years ago. Even at that time, we were the first of our friends group to marry. We had our first child right about the time I turned 30. We were only the 2nd of our peer group to have a child. Today, all of our friends from back then are married (a few divorced) with kids.

The trend has been only towards waiting longer in the 20+ years since we were ahead of the curve.
That is primarily a US issue. In EU/AU/CA/NZ and increasingly in Asia, EMV chip+pin and contactless(+pin) are used and mag stripe is specifically excluded from the new standards.
> Do you think Google is being completely transparent with the public about things that are being said about Google Cloud in board meetings?

That doesn't follow. There is a big, big difference between not being completely transparent and making false or misleading statements to investors.

You said they've got no prospect of performance leadership and are going to focus on just getting the most out of their existing fabs. This is not a fact and not supported by their statements and actions so far. It's a wild guess and pretty unlikely to happen given their investment pipeline. Some time in the future, possibly. As a result of the circumstances right now when they are making money hand over fist with their leading edge nodes and building new fabs? No.

Love Is Dead: Newly discovered letters and the royal murder-suicide at Mayerling
I think we need to factor in "Correlation is not causality" and the presence of confounding variables.

Slave abolitionists explicitly mentioned where they derived their morals from - clearly establishing causality.

Could there be something else common among slave practitioners apart from religion - like common materialistic greed and superior firepower to overpower and dominate others?
It's a closed system in that the applications that are installed in the Wallet require approval from Apple and that includes fees as does the provisioning of the existing EMV and other Wallet applications (not the other Wallet uses like passes etc).
Wow, hold on a second... This also means random changes won't be forced upon you and they need to make the effort to get it right the first time.
It's strange to me that most of the comments here seem to be focused on gender relations rather than what the article was talking about - educational and occupational attainment. I don't think romantic aspirations have anything to do with why young men are not achieving. Rather, we have grown up in a fearful and repressive society, with 9/11 and the wars, 2008, Snowden, and now Covid. Many have grown up being drugged and told they are broken for behavior that was considered normal once. The broken economy that rewards only capital and resigns the rest to drudgery offers no incentive to participate or care. On top of all this, we are still expected to be "men" and never complain, never mention a feeling that isn't lust or grand ambition, and never show weakness. Faced with all this, why not drop out and find refuge in a bottle, pipe, or needle?
There's no such thing as a room temperature super-conducting magnet. You are talking about "high temperature" magnets, which are YBCO tape magnets. High temperature, in this case, means about -290 degrees F.

The next breakthrough that will come will be YBCO powder-in-tube wires, that will allow much stronger fields than currently. They'll be here within a decade, probably much less, as working prototypes exist now.
I always ask “what’s something that you hate/really don’t like about working here.” It’s been instructive in revealing what people don’t like about their companies. In my current role my interviewer’s response had more to do with the immaturity of the company (we don’t have x) yet, rather than bad things that happen. It was indicating to me that it was the right place.
> Those free-to-play phone games seem to survive ok while making players pre-load a balance before they can buy their in-game advantage items with it.

Those games largely depend on addicting people to intermittent rewards and harvesting a disproportionate amount of their revenue from relatively few 'whales'.
I love reading about all these parsing image 'hacks' or I guess here passing empty or null values.

Just imagine a smart car + NSO software. Could turn it into a moving surveillance machine.

Or if can control it maybe cause some 'accidental deaths' looks like a single car fatality.

I would hate to see electronic warfare break out it seems like everything will just be totally bricked.
Does that include your salary? How about power, and cooling, and the so many very wonderful things it takes to run a data center.

I mean, it _will_ fail at stopping global warming, there's no "may" about it. It will probably have other positive effects though.

I'm very onboard for any potential fusion power generation, I just don't think it has any hope of saving us from global warming.
We use netstack. It's great. https://pkg.go.dev/inet.af/netstack

I could try to give you reasons we use it but the truth is that I mentioned something about wanting a user-mode TCP and Jason Donenfeld said netstack was there, and then got it to work.

We don't do any system call hijacking! Don't have to. Go abstracts Dialers and Listeners, and the WireGuard part itself is just a vanilla UDP protocol spoken over a PacketConn.
That's how it always has been, if you're getting good candidates.
Let me try rephrasing that for you.

When women are horny, they are statistically more likely to select men based on appearance.

"When horny, men are statistically more likely to select women with big tits" is banal and adds nothing to the conversation. I don't understand why these references to ovulation get a pass.
I was just on a 12-seater Cessna Caravan that had some sort of collision warning system, because I heard it alarm. It also had a graphic of the approaching aircraft’s relative position.

Would an A320 not have a similar system? Likewise, both pilots physically moved their heads to scan both directions of the runway for hazards. I’m just confused why the big boys wouldn’t be more sophisticated than this.
They have payWave readers in the seatback now!?
It is infuriating how the these companies have managed to appropriate open source for profit. I would be pissed if my unpaid hard work community contributions were being appropriated to make Bezos richer while harming the OSS ecosystem that I love. That said, I don't think that more restrictive licensing is the answer. I don't know the answer TBH.
4000 people died, what I said is true.

102 deaths every day in the USA alone is staggering, and many children and young people! Are you trying to it's not? How many people has self driving cars and their research and development killed? Vanishingly few by comparison.

The situation is very analogous to covid and vaccines.
It's also a technical tour de force, they turned shaky black and white footage with variable frame rate (from early hand cranked video cameras) into almost-cinema-grade color footage, and they recreated the sound using speakers local to the areas of the soldiers, combined with lip reading. It's an incredible work.

If you're fired, you're eligible for unemployment. You're also eligible if you quit your job for a new company but then they rescind the offer. That's basically as much protection as you get in the US, since most states are at-will.
I don’t disagree, but fundamentally we need to remove the concept of complete “private ownership” in order to truly transfer power from the ultra powerful to the common people. If Mark Zuckerberg can still influence billions of people on a whim, then we haven’t fixed the fundamental problem. I don’t see a way to keep our system going and also give the people back the power they deserve. If there is a way, then sure let’s do it.

Those other governments had high concentrations of power at the top. They also stifled freedom of speech and freedom of assembly.

Too much power concentrated in one place is what causes horrible stuff. Serfs and Kings, Bureaucrats and common people, 1%’ers and poor people, etc.

It all comes down to concentrations of power.
Bill Hicks was the first person to make me really think. It took a few years of listening to him and regurgitating his talking points in my head while I was a teenager until I learned to really understand the world through his eyes -- a brutally honest critique. Thank you for posting this reminder that one man searching for truth can survive the censorship of "liberal" media. Bill Hicks was an avowed leftist, and yet a critic of the American "left". He was "Chomsky with dick jokes".
