I totally get the benefits, the part I'm struggling with is the real-world details.

Like, the amount of effort it would be to put in application logic in order to determine attributes that would then be put on to the profile would be more than that which would be required to just have auth native in the code.

Then there's the problem of keeping those attributes in sync with the application as things change.

Then there's the problem of debugging when things go wrong - instead of being able to inspect the application state and determine the issue, now I have two places and different processes for issue resolution.

I'm not talking about this in a hypothetical sense - I've tried this before. All sort of declarative rule based systems, and integration with Auth0 with attributes stored as part of the Auth0 profile, etc...

After doing it and balancing the benefits, I've found that having well-architected code base with auth as a separate concern, but embedded within the native code (as a separate class/service/module/etc... is more effective and less work with better performance characteristics.

Obviously this doesn't apply to every situation, I can think of several scenarios where third-part auth would work very well, I just don't run into them a lot.
Even factory stock NOx emissions from motorcycles are ~1000x higher under California rules compared to light-duty cars and trucks.
Thanks for your reply. One thing I want to point out, because I saw someone else also ask me this:

> [...] help them understand that their neat worldviews (USA bad!)

I don't know about Australian students, but at least I am not saying "USA bad". I'm describing a particular narrative about the atomic bombings as being fueled by the necessity of Americans to sustain their perception of always being the good guys.

For some reason some people read this and conclude I believe the US were the bad guys.

I obviously believe the atomic bombings were a war crime; but more generally, I do not believe the US were the bad guys in WW2. All moral grays and downright immoral actions committed aside, the US was on the good side of that war, and Japan on the bad side. I hope that clears up that part of my position.

does a gaming mouse work? I'm currently using a $10 gaming mouse that has 4 buttons and a scroll wheel. Two of them are thumb-buttons that function very well and are not in the way at all.
Until I can plug my phone into a keyboard/mouse/monitor and have a powerful workstation I don't care that much about linux desktop apps being on my phone. My phone is backup/on-the-road browser, messaging applicance, and a phone 95% of the time.

Tyrannical means " Unjust or oppressive governmental power.", so the justification for the mandate is important, not just the fact that a mandate exists.

A mandate with a good justification is authoritarian but not tyrannical.
To be fair that is one of the worst. I'm definitely bookmarking this site. Even if I won't use several of the functions, it is really valuable to have a single place to check to see "yeah, that really is the best you can do with bash, I'll exec out instead", rather than scouring through multiple StackOverflow answers that are subtly wrong.

And my bash code would probably be more readable if I started collecting common operations in a function library rather than repeating the same sed/awk incantations that aren't super readable. At that point might as well use pure bash/sh implementations to save spawning a new process when reasonable.
I recently migrated to JMP from Google Voice, it's an awesome alternative that only uses open source software and standardized protocols.
WRT the digit count, the piece Babbage missed, IMO, was that he could continue his overall scheme of using automation to 'inflate' a polynomial to a more generic time/space efficiency tradeoff. He needed all of that precision, but that wasn't required in his mill (the analytical engine's ALU), because you can chain ops with carries like we do today. In fact some of the first electronic computers we used (which fit in a similar niche, calculating polynomials to generate tables, generally for WWII artillery) literally had single digit ALUs in order to get the cost under control enough to be viable. Their results had greater than single digit precision.
Yes its interesting example, but 1914 Sears house didn't have electricity, or hot water (was an extra), no shower, I'm guessing its single glazed and lightly insulated.

Certainly I think most modern houses are too luxurious with marble and complicated accessories that aren't really needed.

Sounds nice. I’m hoping android becomes a reasonable option once my old SE finally dies. The new SE phones are huge and iPhone Minis are in constant rumors of getting cancelled. Android likely has more options for small size phones.
placardabuse really shows you how many of the most egregious traffic violations are done by unrepentant, repeat offenders. I think there was a story recently about an SUV who ran the curb and killed an 18-month old in Manhattan -- the driver had thousands of dollars of unpaid fines for blowing red lights, speeding, double-parking etc.

I think people should be at a much higher risk of losing their license or driving privileges permanently for this stuff, not to mention offenses like repeat DUIs.
I am not prepared really.

I don't see how anyone can be suitably prepared for a recession where there is inflation. Any stock you have will go down, any property you own will go down, financial institutions will lend out less, any cash you have will be eroded by interest

EDIT: After taking a minute to consider it further, I am prepared in the following ways:

* My job is stable and would hopefully be okay during a recession

* My rent is reasonable

* My hobbies (coding, learning, tv/movies, walking, reading, working out at home) are very low cost

* I can happily eat oats, eggs, rice, beans, chicken, turkey, homemade pizza for a long time. I don't need to eat out much.
Now that it isn't, it cannot.

If anything AWS has increased its co-operation with F/OSS businesses of late and this clear shift in strategy was apparent in product / partnership announcements leading up to 2021 re:Invent. AWS, I believe, realise the F/OSS ecosystem mustn't be taken undue advantage of. I mean, AWS stands a good chance of getting caught in a vehement backlash (let alone sporadic bad PR) from the developer community, who ironically form the basis of an entire industry AWS sells into and operates in.

With Microsoft + GitHub intensifying their investments in F/OSS, AWS had to play ball. It is smart, not petty on anyone's part.

Judging from the tone of the article, I am glad Elastic is content in their current business relationship with AWS. Hopefully, the companies also find an agreement to have AWS' OpenSearch fork merged back in, as well.

disclaimer: ex-AWS, but zero insider information.
XFCE didn't fork Gnome, though. It was a CDE clone at the start. It just uses Gtk, but otherwise it doesn't really copy Gnome much.
So what is the solution then?

On the one hand, we're supposed to trust no one on the web, on the other hand the web is only useful if we're effectively trusting everyone (except the most obvious scammers).

So how do you verify trust on the web?
It seems like it would just be a better idea to have meter maids do this manually rather seeding cameras and microphones with direct feeds to the state.
Would it have adequate memory to do it in software? I guess the code was on ROM (punched cards), but you need RAM too. It's also a whole other invention or series of inventions - just because it's software doesn't make it soft and easy. (what software techniques have we yet not thought of - or is it "all already invented"...?)

It's maybe fair to qualify it as his hardware problems being harder than warranted.

Reminds me of Wozniak: made Breakout in hardware... then made it again, much more quickly and malleable in software... but (I think?) only realized he could do that after having made the Apple computer. Kinda sorta related Dragon's Egg (Forward), a novel with a theme that inventions are much easier once you have the idea, and know it's possible.
I thoroughly enjoyed his Revisionist History podcast on this and the book it bore that received the same audio treatment:

There are seven time zones in Indiana in the tz database[1] - this doesn't count the two most used ones America/Chicago and America/New_York there's also a Kentucky tz that slightly spills into the state. Whenever anyone makes any comment about dates and times being easy to compute I just mention that yes, there are seven time zones in Indiana. Now the actual issues tend to arise when software makes assumptions like "every second will actually occur", "each second only happens once", "every minute has 60 seconds", "every day has 86400 seconds" amongst a plethora of other bad assumptions... but those are a lot more complicated to explain. I like leaning on Indiana.

We already have pretty good long distance transmission lines (HVDC lines are commonly used today in both remote areas and in undersea lines, there's even a 53 mile long line from SF to Pittsburgh under the Bay). But there's always going to be some point at which it's more economical to build up local power generation along distances. We really don't want to be pumping gigawatts over fire prone areas, for example.

We are going to need to figure out how to handle more intense seasonal weather in the south east US. Florida has already done a decent job hardening their transmission lines and making sure their grids can stand up to cat 5 storms (the way they weathered Irma was incredible, compared to Maria in Puerto Rico just weeks later) but transmission lines are easier to replace than generators.
What I'm understanding is that my account would be fine if I had a bunch of other posts in between my existing ones, and the other posts were all about Java optimization or Apache version control or other "non-political" topics.

I guess it seems kind of a strange rule. Stated another way, "If 50% or more of your posts relate to controversial/political topics, you're in violation". The posts are fine, I'm just supposed to have other posts there to reduce their proportion of the total. It seems strange to convict on the absence of certain posts.

I will of course endeavor to follow the rule. It is your website after all. But just some thoughts on it:

I just find social issues interesting, I don't believe like that's wrong or destructive. (If it was being aggressive or unthoughtful about them that would be an issue but I try to be thoughtful and make meaningful points.)

I don't think commenting on controversies has to degrade the site. For example, the subreddit r/TheMotte has some of the best discussion on the internet and it's 100% about the culture war.

I could have had an alt account that I use for more 'acceptable' topics. Many people don't want their thoughts on controversial topics to be associated with their public persona. This rule basically bans having an alt account in this way.

Note that I'm not focused on one issue; I comment on lots of different issues. Yes I have a unifying philosophy but so does everyone. I think a rule against single-issue activist accounts would make more sense.

In any case thanks for responding.
Thanks for digging. I get there'd be limitations but I would prefer sometimes consistency: for gnatstack to support at least the SPARK subset (so, OOP, access to procedures, most 'reasonable' provable language features). I'm not faulting AdaCore, just noting the slight inconsistency, as I was disappointed first back then.

I think it's a worthy space to improve though, because it's happened to me, on AoRTE (silver-level) SPARK, to crash because of an overeager parser. Fuzzing and more formal testing helps smoke some of those out but I'd like AoRTE to mean AoRTE :-) at least in no-dynamic-allocation-so-'new'-can't-fail scenarios.

I'm guessing it's mostly 'no-one put a wad of cash thick enough on the table to have another look' which is understandable. I'll probably try to hit some corporate trouser pockets to start the engine again :-)
The correct answer given how you ask this is probably "none".
This sort glosses over the real percentage of construction costs by giving only a 20 or so percent of profit. A large portion of construction though is the individual sub-contractors profits. I would guess that the large difference in costs vs 100 years ago is proportional to the increased number of subcontractors. A hundred years ago a lot of lumber was even at least partially milled on site too.

The actual costs of real labor and real materials is pretty cheap. Even with the elevated building costs today you could still build an average home for sub $40,000 dollars if you control all aspects of the process.
Not that strange. Sirens in NYC are largely directional, and you can hear the noise diminish dramatically once you are no longer in the path of the vehicle. The same is not true of loud cars/motorcycles. Also sirens (mostly) serve a necessary purpose for society, while motorcycle noise serve to stroke their owners selfish egos.
May as well call it Tracky McTrackface. Looks like and awesome project but “Ploopy” is such an odd naming choice. Is it a non-English word or have special meaning in the community?
Yep, and I am not persuaded by their special pleading.
It's a natural result of society consuming ** propaganda nonstop for entertainment. We learn all the wrong lessons even though they feel sweet and and have good face value.

We as a society should do everything we can to make cities nicer places to live because it's so much more sustainable than suburban lifestyle. This includes minimizing unnecessary noise.
The best datasheets do this too. However, I'm getting quite tired of skipping the section about I2C every time. I get it, there's logical highs and logical lows and those need to happen with certain timing constraints. Still, there those pictures are, every time.
In 1925, only half of homes in the US had electric lighting. None had air conditioning. Many would have had only steam boilers (which can function without electric pumps) fired by hand-shoveled coal. Most would have had no insulation. In 1940, half of homes had no indoor flush toilets and no hot running water.

If you built a house today without electricity, with only cold water service, and an outhouse, I think you’d save a fair bit on skilled trades (and be pretty damn unhappy when you visited a neighbor and saw their utilities).
I hope this spreads everywhere. Even performance enthusiasts can get what they want without the car being loud all the time. It is purely obnoxious.
That's a good start but people in New York literally deface their license plate and nobody gives a fuck - because half of them are cops or driving government vehicles.

Looks like pretty good news. Have worked in AWS before. So AWS is very famous for making money using open source products without contributing upstream.

One very good example is Amazon redis. Amazon figured out that redis asynchronous replication didn't work at scale so instead of fixing issues upstream they chose to develop Amazon redis in house and monetized it.

Enhanced version means patched made by AWS.

Speaking of NYC, we've enjoyed some amazingly effective soundproof windows in many spaces, it seems like a thing there, but when we ask window salesmen in the Bay Area about soundproof windows like that, they kind of shrug and say " double pane is pretty much all you can do". Why can NYC do this but not SF? Or have we just not called the right store?
This comment is in every thread about this, but there has to be a solution that satisfies FOSS purists as well as casual users without allowing a massive, evil megacorp to just stomp on every company built around open-source solutions.
> The example she gave is that police now cannot intervene if they see an armed individual approaching a school. That sounds unbelievable but that's straight from the mouth of the local chief of police.

It’s not true but it makes more sense if they’re saying that as a negotiating tactic: the police are banking that if the media coverage is dominated by stories about crime rising there will be a big reduction in support for police accountability.
There are various protocols for TVs to cast things, it seems like this one uses DIAL, whereas CATT uses Google Cast. I was thrown off by the icon, it does seem like the two are slightly different, thanks for the correction.
What the parent describes is exactly how it works for my employer's O365 system. I get MFA requests on a regular basis even on known devices. Ticking the 'dont ask again' option has no effect. Meanwhile Google on the same devices nags me once a week at the most.
> • John Nagle (Animats) has commented a few times about how, contrary to the "high culture" story of the evolution of computers (Turing, von Neumann etc), the gradual evolution of "calculators" was itself leading up to computers (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10636154). Something similar appears to have happened with Babbage, where he started with a simple calculating device and, thinking about it more deeply, single-handedly came up with a Turing-complete design and was writing programs for it.

Konrad Zuse was a civil engineer who was annoyed by doing manual numerical calculations and so started to build his computers (22-bit floating point machines). He too saw how many engineer-man-centuries these machines could save and approached the Nazi government which of course blundered that and thought computers were irrelevant.
Maybe if you ask for an unpredictable number, you might get different answers.
Those things you listed are pretty much already illegal: Loud motorcycles with poor emissions. As for the fatality rate, it's mainly only impacting the driver. Forcing them to a car is arguably worse.

It's remarkable how much more pleasant a city is on streets that are closed down to cars. If your city hosts Ciclovías, go and check them out if only to sit at a restaurant outside and eat lunch in near total serenity.
This is happening in my major metro, as well. A kind of flippant attitude toward even the most basic of compliance seems to be taking root. Cars are running Stop signs and red lights without even slowing, the number of cars with no license plate displayed at all is on the rise and all of this seems to be happening at a time when enforcement is virtually non-existent. Even more alarming is that property crime (theft, particularly) is through the roof.

While I place a lot of the blame at the feet of the police for failing to enforce law, I also understand that at least in my city, even repeat offenders are being released back into the wild with no skin in the game - a "personal recognizance" bond.

I'm a left of center kind of guy, but this idea that we can totally kid-glove criminals (especially repeat ones) with peace and love and respect and whatever new-agey shenanigans that's helped us get to where our social order is falling apart doesn't fly with me.
Super+drag anywhere on a window. It should be a must on every single OS.
Nothing is perfect.

But if we're going to talk about "room for improvement" crypto is much farther from being perfect than the US dollar, Euro, Yen and virtually any other fiat currency that seem to have so many issues according to the crypto enthusiasts.

In fact, crypto currency can't even function as a currency at this point. Not even close.
Our first computer was a Mac Plus. As a kid, I read the various system manuals from front to back, several times over. Ditto for the manuals that came with different software programs, our printer, etc.

As I grew up, we got replacement computers, and I read the manuals for those too, building on the knowledge from the first computer. At some point, computers stopped coming with manuals. This seems a shame, but it's understandable since there are so many features.

Any tips on how to teach kids the basics of how to use a computer? Obviously they pick up a lot of stuff by watching, but how do you give them a good foundation in what an OS is, the basics of RAM, paging, etc.?
If the side effects end up being worse, than the law can be changed back, right? I would argue it is a major annoyance for many, and for what, so a few people can get off on being loud.

A very difficult aspect of indie game development is that the quality of the end product is easy to discern. We all can tell if someone creates a game that's got good graphics, sound, gameplay, is fun, etc. The indie developer who does all that has a great deal of skill in multiple areas. The harsh truth is that not everyone can be that good.

My daughter when she was around 6 years old loved to put on princess dresses and dance around singing. In her mind she looked and sounded like the cartoon characters in the movies.

One day, I pulled out an old VHS camera and set it up on a tripod for her. She danced in front of it for half an hour, recording a bunch of songs. Then she sat down to watch it. After the first few minutes, she turned to me with tears running from her eyes and yelled, "I stink!" She was inexperienced at dancing and singing, but she knew immediately from watching herself that she wasn't very skilled.
> It's a good thing that the US did not lose the war, as otherwise the large part of the planet would be living under a xenophobic/racist, totalitarian regime that viewed foreigners of little value and did experimentation on human subjects

It seems you're under the impression I was arguing the Japanese weren't war criminals with many of their WW2 actions or that I believe they ought to have won the war, or at least that I believe the US ought to have lost WW2, or some variation of that.

But if you read carefully what I wrote, I'm saying nothing of the sort, am I? I'm arguing about the atomic bombings and American beliefs about their justification.

So spare me the description of Japanese war crimes: I'm aware of them and I wouldn't want to live in a world where Imperial Japan had won WW2.
