Yes.

Visitors to Japan noted the go-out-and-have-fun focus of cherry-blossom viewing more than a century ago: “The foreigners are there for no other purpose than to see and enjoy, while the natives are ready for the first excuse to picnic. They are devoted to excursions, so the little men close their shops, and the little ladies gather the children, and, with the last baby on the mother’s back and the next one strapped to an older sister, they all clatter away to Ueno, where the daintiest shades sweep the air. They wander along the highways, and thousands of clogs resound by the banks of the Sumida, where the branches sweep off to the river, where the pleasure-boats ply the stream. The roadways are dense with the crowding, surging masses, all kindly, all sauntering leisurely, where venders of foods and of toys are making a harvest.” [1, 2]

The trees can indeed be magnificent, but I prefer to look at them where parties are not allowed. I used to go to Shinjuku Gyo-en [3], which is conveniently located in central Tokyo. The last time I was there, at least, it did not allow picnics, so it was relatively uncrowded. In recent years, I have enjoyed the view for a few seconds each morning from the front car of the Toyoko Line train when it makes a brief stop over the Meguro River at Naka-meguro Station [4, 5]. It feels like you’re floating in an ocean of blossoms.

It's the exact same problem with Email. Email is "decentralized" but most people would rather use a central website and give up their info.
Let's hope their log4j is a bit more up to date.
When is the second copy of anything ever the same price as the first? That thread talks about the second being maybe 30% of the cost of the first. Is that not “economies of scale”? And I think that seems like a great deal, given how much universe there is to look at, and the potential for the first to not survive until the end of its expected lifetime. Hell, why not put 10 of them up there, and iterate on the design?
As a hiring manager for a remote team myself, whatever company scheduled your interviews that way was very unfair to you to make you take that risk 8 times.

We do have a similar numbers of total conversations in our hiring process, but they're grouped into a smaller number of chunks/days; only some of those are an hour with 2-4 of them between 15 and 45 minutes; and we span many time zones and biorhythms on several continents so we can accommodate candidates who prefer to interview when they're at home.

That said, over my pre-pandemic career I think I've undergone interviews from small conference rooms or "phone booths" at workplaces before, with any bookings labeled as something like "personal call", or at cafes or quiet outdoor spaces near workplaces; most of my office jobs have allowed a certain amount of WFH too even if not a majority of my time.

It’s been a long time since I’ve heard of Tomcat. Seems to have drastically fallen out of favor, much like Java itself for web hosting, but I’m guessing various bigcos still use it.

Gauge.js – A JavaScript animated gauge lib
It did cost $10 billion, and the cost overruns were exaggerated a bit.

One example is comparing the final cost to the cost of the design phase. The starting point should be after the final design had been approved.

Additionally, costs need to be inflation adjusted.

I commented on this last year.

> The whole point of sanctions is to pressure bad actors to change.

This argument seems completely non-sensical to me.

Western governments have been arguing for 3+ decades that we do business with countries like China because integrating them into the global economic system will encourage them to change. But now we're making the same argument that we need to expel Russia from the global economic system because it will encourage them to change. What? At least crypto doesn't flip-flop on what it's moral or ethical purpose is. It's just a tool and an exchange of value, not a weapon.

no, not true at all in any meaningful sense. American taxpayers pay for the military budget; that some of that money comes back to some as wages does not on average mean that average Americans benefit.
Tomcat is still very much alive, although it tends to be used as an embedded web server, rather than as a platform for deploying war files.
This covers emergency stopping well, but in regular conditions I'd modify it a bit.

It's easy to overuse the front brake because it has so much stopping power. The outcome of that is you'll chew through your front pads and rims much more quickly than your rear.

When approaching a stop, start lightly applying the rear brake -first- to bleed off initial speed, -then- apply the front. Your pads will last a lot longer, and they'll all wear evenly.
If the "benefit" is that crypto-currencies allow people to evade laws, well... that's probably true, it's just not a great selling point if you're aiming for mainstream adoption. Especially considering that, for everything else other than evading the law, a standard currency would be more practical than a crypto-currency. And this addressed in the article, it's one of the predictions: "cryptocurrency adoption will be limited to marginal use cases where fiat currency is impractical, e.g. online black-market transactions".
Maybe watch Not Just Bikes or other channels similar to it in YouTube. High density living doesn’t necessarily mean it has to be miserable or lacking greenery. It can be quiet. It can have greenery. It can have access to things even better than most major cities in the USA.

And while you said you have access to some trees and stuff without driving - you apparently do have to derive to get any groceries and that’s the point. Same for other services that people rely on. And someone has to drive to your place to deliver your shit. So the miles are being used by someone.

Btw - I use two day shipping all the time too and I live in SFBA. You know why? Less time consuming than going to the store and dealing with the checkout process and finding out the item isn’t actually there even though they said it’s there in their inventory management system. (Or it’s there but it’ll take someone half an hour to find it)

The problem isn’t finite land. It’s finite voters and the politicians that represent them. In CA, the most crowded state, There are more acres than people! And somehow we still have a housing shortage.

You can go out into the middle of nowhere in CA and find houses huddled together 2 feet from another behind a giant wall, like some kind of nazi concentration camp for houses. And the sadest part is that there’s tons of land in every direction you look and people are forced to commute vast distances.

I still can't figure out why this "economies of scale" misconception is so popular on HN with respect to JWST. The major costs of building JWST are in the testing + validation + refinement phases, which must be done meticulously for every unit that is built. A JWST "out of the box" is guaranteed to fail: literally, you could launch a million "unrefined" JWSTs and every single one of them will experience a critical mission failure.

Most components of the JWST are not within spec as they leave the factory floor; for many components, the precision required cannot be achieved with machining metrology alone. Remember that system error compounds with every new component that is incorporated. Components have to be constructed, integrated, and then measured/validated with sophisticated metrology equipment after full assembly. If you're lucky, you can modify the components you have to achieve the desired overall tolerances. But a lot of the time, you have to bin the same component a dozen times until you get a batch which happens to be correct (much like in microchip manufacturing).

And this is just for physical manufacturing -- there are multiple other dimensions which are impossible to get right the first time, requiring multiple iterations until your integration tests pass. Many of these test scenarios are extremely expensive to simulate (e.g. full-size vacuum chambers, launch and zero-g simulators), and must be done to validate every single phase of a 5-year mission to an extremely high chance of success (from transport to launch site -> launch -> full deployment -> science operations). Something as simple as a wrongly-tensioned cable is enough to scrap an entire mission -- the validation is absolutely essential to ensure that anything from a manufacturing defect to a simple human error doesn't make it through to launch.

Even in spite of all the lessons learned from JWST 1, I would be surprised if JWST 2's cost was less than 50% of JWST 1 (realistically, I'd peg it at ~80%). The testing costs are a very high fixed cost that must be paid for every unit you make. There's no other way around it.
It's hard to get much more accurate than Chrony with NTP. Even real-world PTP implementations don't often aim for more accuracy than is possible with Chrony.

Because it turns out NTP can be much more accurate than most people realize.

From the Chrony FAQ[1]:

> When combined with local hardware timestamping, good network switches, and even shorter polling intervals, a sub-microsecond accuracy and stability of a few tens of nanoseconds might be possible

Good network switches and NICs with hardware timestamping support are commonplace now in server environments. NTP with Chrony is pretty hard to beat in terms of simplicity, reliability, and accuracy.

To say there's nothing on the line is an absolute disregard to world politics. Have you read the news lately? Basically nothing would bring about world peace faster than a chinese democratic revolution, hopefully accompanied by a russian one.

> How in the world would know anything about the fears people

Why would you assume that I don't? Fear is a very universal human emotion. You appear to be assigning some sort of special consideration to these people, as if their particular blight is somehow exceptionally elevated beyond the understanding of mere mortals.

> But I suppose these potential dissenters just need to be reminded that they need to be more brave, like you!

Considering how littered history is with people rallying behind individuals who simply encouraged them, yes, that's incredibly actionable advice.

You really should look up Gandhi. He freed all of India from British slavery literally by just saying "no" and taking one for the team. He was assassinated, sure, but India is now a democracy.
Why do you believe that those two processes are in any way analogous?

Hunger is an explicit suite of hormonal control-system signals (leptin + ghrelin) evolved as an "instinct" to direct food motivation toward medium-term calorie caching in a seasonal feast-or-famine environment. You get "more hungry than you need" because your body is actively/intentionally trying to acquire "extra" calories to use to build fat stores.

Tiredness isn't an intentional conscious signal; it's rather the experiential qualia of a direct physiological problem — the gradual degradation of the brain's ability to function. Well-restedness is just the feeling of not being tired — of not having the inflammatory processes, brain fog, confusion, etc. that stem from said brain-function degradation. Sleep clearly rewinds this degradative process; getting little sleep results in impaired recovery. People (when not being woken up by an alarm) tend to sleep until the degradation is fully fixed, however long that takes. People who have harmed their brain in other ways — e.g. with alcohol, with hypoxia, with a concussion, etc. — take longer to naturally awaken from sleep, because their brain is recovering from a deeper state of degradation.

I'm not claiming anything here about the mechanism by which sleep enables recovery from the gradual brain-function degradation caused by being awake for a long time; but it's pretty clear that sleep does have that effect.
FWIW I've had similar frustrating experiences in both companies' stores. Could just be a matter of specific locations simply being run better than others.
Correct. It’s basically the extrovert vs introvert thing as well as many other dynamics online.

You say you enjoy talking to others and would like to see people more often. Introverts will chime in and say, “but that’s not everyone! Not all of us enjoy idle chitchat! Oppressor!!” Yet - you never said you wanted to force anyone who wasn’t into that into that situation… And never implied it either.

It’s weird reactionary shit that adds nothing to the conversation. Expressing a personal opinion must be met with an equal or more severe personal opinion of the opposite. No circle jerking allowed anywhere!

I’m sure someone will chime in now that this isn’t actually how things work so that we can prevent any circle jerk.
Ask HN: What are the best pickup basketball rules you’ve played with?
I’ve played a lot of different pickup basketball through the decades.

Different gyms always had slightly different rules.

Though there was one pickup basketball group that I still say had the best rules for pickup.

Have you experienced this?

What were those rules?

At the y I played at, we only had one full court. We played 5 on 5 to 7 all 1 pointers. What I liked though was it wasn’t you’re on till you lose, but winner stays for first game then just each new team gets to play 2 games.

Then when it got to over 16 players in the gym we switched to half court 4on4 with 1s and 2s. Same only two consecutive game rule.

This is the group I think will hold out the longest, the people who need a reliable, socially accepted way to escape their home environment. When they say 'focus on the business at hand' they really mean 'not distracted by my home'.

I don't think businesses will continue to provide for these employees after the commercial real estate correction. In time, having an office flips into a multi-faceted liability.

But until that happens, the leases were already signed so let the good times roll. These employees and employers form a complementary artificial need for an office.

Yeah but the problem is that every time this happens, the inevitable pushback ends up validating all their fears, whether or not the secret weapon is real. The whole system evolves towards bipolarity, where things that split society into two halves are amplified. That's why all the moderates only see extremists on the other side.

It also wouldn't surprise me at all that they do this given the sheer complexity of booting XNU on an Apple SoC. XNU _requires_ that it can talk to a bunch of hardware early in boot (which, for what its worth, is partially why booting XNU on non-Apple platforms is such a pain in the ass!), and unless you want to run the entire SoC on FPGAs for the _entire_ development process, you need a kernel that can make due with just a single lonely CPU core and nothing else. Linux is designed to run on everything, and XNU is designed to just run on an Apple SoC.

Even if building a 2nd one cost the same as building the first, how much of that $10 billion is design and development cost? $0 of that will factor in to the cost of the second.

I've fabricated many things with my hands and machine tools. The second one takes dramatically less time, in every case. Even the 2nd set of materials cost less. For example, I ordered a needle bearing the other day for $7, but with shipping the total came out to $20. If I ordered two bearings, the total cost would have been $27, not $40.

It took me 20 minutes or so to install it. If I installed it a second time, I could have done it in 5 minutes.

The reason is simple. I had the right tools laid out, and I knew exactly what to do the second time.

So, yeah, I was quite unconvinced in the last thread.

P.S. I did not say they were doing it wrong.
