It's about the same speed as a Greyhound or slower, and costs twice as much or more. For the demographic that would most benefit from a good rail network, which is people without a lot of money, it fails to distinguish itself in any way other than being less dilapidated.
Hayao Miyazaki retires and destroys Hollywood
I don't see it as anything other than a useful label in his writing personally. If you want to talk about something, you need a name for it, and I don't think there is one more apt yet bland one can ascribe to a group of people who take an arbitrary set of conventions to an agressive extreme.
That someone disagrees with where the root of the problem lies does not mean they are lacking compassion nor empathy.

Yep, also there are still rules at many businesses and schools that specifically target black hairstyles as unfit to be in public settings.

We could just point out that they're not really concerned about people getting "cancelled" as much as who is doing the cancelling and who's getting cancelled. Somehow it was a good thing when governments and corporations were able to cancel people based on race, gender, vaccination status, and sexual orientation... but now that they're being cancelled on the basis of being racist, homophobic, misogynistic, and... well, at least vaccination statuses have remained consistent... suddenly there's a problem. Suddenly the all-knowing overlords of business that people trust with their retirement accounts and their political landscape are WRONG. LOL.

And usually the cancellation doesn't even have anything to do with a job. It's freaking social media for crying out loud.

If you feed LLVM bad IR, all bets are off. LLVM's assertions and IR verifier are impressively comprehensive, but not a guarantee.

For example, LLVM has a pointer type and a void type, but you may not make a pointer-to-void type, see https://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#pointer-type . If you do call `Type::getVoidTy(C)->getPointerTo()` then LLVM will hit an assertion only in a build with assertions enabled. Without assertions LLVM may silently execute UB.
Ask HN: Latest best practices to detect keyloggers on Windows/Mac/Linux?
Keyloggers are a particularly scary form of infiltration, because over a long enough period they can accumulate a critically damaging amount of secret stuff (passwords, messages, etc.) without the user having any clue it's happening.

Other than your everyday well-known antivirus techniques (e.g., looking at signatures of executables and comparing to a known list of viruses), are there any super reliable ways using low-level kernel operations to see any running executable/service that is accessing keyboard events?

Even if it's a big list, if you could eliminate most of the processes because they are known applications (say, by crowdsourcing a list of known safe processes), you could come up with a subset of them and decide for yourself if any look suspicious.

The best approach should be able to detect and stop even a custom tailored attack on a high value target, where none of the code is reused from known exploits, and every trick in the book is used to obfuscate and evade automated detection. I feel like an open source package like this that had been inspected by a lot of smart people and vetted to work reliably under Windows/Mac/Linux would be a huge benefit to global security.
MIT didn't cancel Dorian Abbot, though.

He still gave a presentation, it just wasn't on his stupid "anti-vaxxers are just like Nazi Germany" nonsense that was beneath both him and the university.
Miyazaki compared the visual politics of large-scale Hollywood productions such as the Lord of the Rings to the country’s international policies. Attacking America’s actions in Afghanistan, Miyazaki claimed that such projects are a dangerous addition to public discourse because they diminish the value of human life by weaponising the audience through cinematic violence.

“How many people are being killed in attacks in Afghanistan? The Lord of the Rings is a movie that has no problem doing that [not separating civilians from enemies, apparently]. If you read the original work, you’ll understand, but in reality, the ones who were being killed are Asians and Africans. Those who don’t know that, yet say they love fantasy are idiots.”

One of my projects was a "squarespace" style page builder. Right away, there were nefarious users. The block editor meant that bots weren't really an issue, they couldn't figure out how to use it, but turns out humans aren't that great either. My country doesn't have safe harbor laws, so I took it offline.

Thinking now, I could put that builder back into service and just have it spit out an HTML/CSS bundle for people to self host.
In contrast, the 2 mile long SR-99 tunnel under Seattle cost $3.3 billion, whereas this is 55km for $11 billion. I.e. in Europe they're tunnelling for $0.2 billion per km compered to the US at $0.97 billion per km.
The political left using this "heretic" tactic is relatively new, and if it's effective it's because the political right honed it for decades against women, LGBT, foreigners, non-Christians, and any other group they didn't want buying property next to them.

That'd be ideal, but in some markets that's not possible. One of the apartments in question was in SF and I literally had to put my application in <10 minutes into the showing to get the place, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten it. There's no way to do any kind of actual inspection of a unit in those circumstances.
This comment demonstrates the fallacy of relative privation [1], is unhelpful, and generally detracts from having a meaningful conversation.

All problems can be compared to some other worse problem. It does not almost ever mean the original problem at hand is not worth giving attention.

> The other reason I wanted to make a DNS client is that I knew I could simplify every step using some great Rust crates

This is one of the reasons I rather like rust and it's ecosystem: you can delegate "boring" functionality (aka the stuff you need, but aren't interested in writing) to the ecosystem and just focus on the stuff you want to.

Other languages also have a similarly rich ecosystem (python in particular). But compared to python, I find that rust is slightly better; 2 reasons come to mind:

* Docs in rust seem to be slightly better. I think this is partly due to the generally high quality of docs.rs, so crate authors seem to have settled on the idea that some minimal baseline docs are expected.

* Error handling in rust feels better. In the python world, I would see None returned some library functions that didn't really document this possibility, yielding an uncomfortable number of runtime TypeErrors or AttributeErrors due to an unexpected NoneType

I don't hate the comment but I hate the reality it reflects. My unmedicated life is better in every possible way: I'm happier, more whimsical and joyous, I eat better and feel the music more, maintain a healthy weight and am a better friend and lover.

But also I can't hold it together for more than a couple months of full time work without it. So I diminish myself in these ways, and those I care about most don't get the best of me as much as they could, and my health suffers in serious, concrete ways.

I'm not young, and have done many kinds of work and had several careers, and am not looking for advice about this right now. I've established an adequate balance given the constraints, but god damn do I hate the constraints.

I think it's the part where a promotion of weaponization is claimed. I'm not seeing that either.

Is it weaponization of victimhood to disagree, and warn others of the hallmarks of a problematic position?

I don't think anyone was confused about who the 'us' and 'them' are. Every group casts a shadow, so it's hard to talk about a 'they' without there being an 'us'.
Yea. Talk about being "divorced from reality".
The recent China eastern disaster and Malaysian air crash are both (potential) examples of this too.

Isn't a lot of antivirus software just operating from a whitelisted group of software creator signatures crowdsourced from various companies?

> road noise during the day

My understanding is that the vast majority of road noise is caused by vehicles outfitted with non-standard tires. Where I live, 90% of the road noise is caused by lifted trucks using massive off-road tires on local roads and highways. It isn’t clear if this against the law all over the country, but in various US states, the police will issue tickets. There are several employees of local businesses who commute nearby and wake up the neighborhood when they go to work and when they return with the sound of their huge off-road tires getting on and off the highway. I’ve driven next to them on the highway several times and the noise is deafening. I can’t see how this is allowed. Next time I drive past them, I will run the NIOSH SLM app and record the decibels.
If there is a problem with infrastructure at my company, I can go and talk to one of the sys admins and get it sorted right away. I have never experienced outages as bad as what we are often seeing with cloud providers.

> When earbuds came on the market

I switched to active noise cancelling headphones and earbuds several years ago (2015-ish) primarily because they enable me to keep volume at like 20% and still get the benefits of sound isolation. It's been a huge revolution for me personally.

Running for 2 hours used to give me an ear-ache. Now it's perfect. The improvement in comfort from music-at-the-office is even bigger. 8 hours was a lot and sound isolation is really important to me. I can't focus if I can hear other humans and eating noises make me wanna punch people.
I moved to Miami in October of last year and holy shit some people have no respect for personal noise emissions. People in Lambos deliberately revving their engines for no reason other than flexing decibel levels, others in motorcycles doing the same thing - it is truly insane. That, combined with airplanes flying into and out of MIA really make it a fundamentally noisy place to live. I imagine it even causes issues with local ecosystems that are equally or even more susceptible to disturbances due to loud sounds.

Need to move to North Beach or something away from the crowds... lol
*/5 * * * * osascript -e 'set volume output volume (output volume of (get volume settings))-1'

Speaking of tinnitus, and since this is Hacker News: I've entered the above in crontab (crontab -e) on my mac. It lowers the volume a small amount every 5 minutes. I have to press the volume up button once every 30 minutes to keep a roughly equal volume level.

This prevents me from accidentally listening to something that is too loud for too long. At the level I usually listen to music, it takes about 2 hours to fade to nothing; it's a linear fade, so after 30 minutes the volume is at 75% my preferred starting volume. If I get lost in my work, the music gradually fades and I avoid realizing many hours later that I've been blasting my ears the whole time.

I wish all devices had a mode like this. I haven't investigated how to do this on Linux, but it should be possible there as well I think.
Amusingly tunneling through the Alps may be easier and cheaper than tunneling through a city.
If we in CA could achieve compliance with the already standing laws against loud exhaust to anywhere near the levels we have with, say, plastic straw riddance, the resulting benefit to society would be drastically superior. I can't think of anything with a lower cost/benefit ratio than just the wholesale confiscation and ban of Harleys.
Another recent datapoint is the tunnel between Germany and Denmark has a budget of €10 billion for 18km so €0.55 billion/km. Projects like these tend to have budget overruns, so maybe €15 billion? That'd be €0.85 billion/km.

But that's completely ignoring any geological differences of course, so not very realistic.
Six years on Atlassian still can’t add basic features to Bitbucket
Link to the feature request, there are some humorous comments nestled amongst the +1s: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BCLOUD-12503

A similar feature request for a “needs work” status that took 5 years to close: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BCLOUD-13021

As a developer I am so surprised how long it’s taking Atlassian to add basic features to their products. I struggle to understand how these products can be so much slower to develop and deficient in features compared to the on-prem products from years ago.

Do any ex Atlassian developers (that are not under NDA) have any insight into this?
I understand your point, but I still defend mine.

I wasnt trying to say you can always find a worse situation than yours. My point was more, that being an engineer who works in a comfortable chair for a great salary, is an amazing situation, if you're not happy with it, maybe switching situations will help, but consider that maybe you need to be more aware of how good you have it and find happiness within yourself
Fyi, that is the town of Squamish, half way between Vancouver and Whistler. It is a legendary area for flying and probably the most popular rock climbing area in canada. But to call its airport small means this guy doesnt do much general aviation flying. It is at least paved. There are dozens of smaller strips dotted around BC.

https://squamish.ca/business-and-development/real-estate/air...

A funny thing about Squamish: even though it is right between Vancouver and Whistler, basically a highway town, if you draw a strait line between it and Alaska you will only cross two roads. Canada is vast. In BC that vastness starts the moment you step out of Vancouver.
Oops, thanks so much! I forgot to check 'em. Fixed now.
Zillow does have a product like this: pay one application fee and you can reuse the background check across as many apartments as you apply to in a month. The biggest downside is that it only works for landlords that chose to accept the service.
>This is an extremely strange definition of "in power."

Is it? It's a rather straightforward one in my view, power is the ability to influence the real world. Do you have a simpler or more convincing definition?

>This doesn't make it so that starving people are actually running my life.

This is because donating your money is an entirely voluntary action to an inanimate object that only affects yourself. If you were donating the money of someone else, or if you were donating the time/work of someone else, then the starving people who benefit from those food banks would be indeed in power over you. They affect (through a complex indirect chain of cause and effect) the world so that you do things you have no good reason to do, that's power. But voluntarily donating is not like that, you have very good reasons to donate without being coerced, power only happens when you do things against your natural incentives, i.e. Coercion.

The actions against people criticising the "Sacred Cows" of western progressives are neither of the 3 things :

- They are non-voluntary as there is quite a bit of consensus-manufacturing and lobbying that those groups or groups affiliated to them engage in

- The actions are typically done to humans (firing, censoring,...) and affect a lot of people

Therefore, these Sacred Cow groups are actually in a lot of power, they bend the incentive landscape in their favor in a way that other groups do not. That's a very clear power differential.

>Feel free to keep your conspiracies to yourself.

I advise you to know the definition of words before using them. Conspiracies are unproven and unlikely non-falsiable stories about the world, the fact that you can't criticize the list of groups above is one you can trivially verify for yourself on any social media website.
Yes. TeuxDeux.

I knew this app looks exactly like something else I've seen before, but I couldn't recall the name.

However, I don't consider this to be a copy of TeuxDeux because there's nothing particularly revolutionary in either app's design — they're both just digital versions of paper planners.

As far as todo apps go, I've tried them all. The problem I have with most of them is that they don't separate deadline with do-time. I want to plan a task such that deadline might be on Friday, but I intend to actually do the thing on Tuesday. Apps don't allow me to record that information.

When I first heard about TeuxDeux about an year ago I realized that the old fashioned and obvious weekly planner strategy could work. Since TeuxDeux wasn't free (I could be wrong because I now see a free version in their website), I just used a Google Doc to write down what I intended to do every day of the week.

And it worked reasonably well.

I'm happy to see WeekToDo come out. And it's open source!
I think the source was almost entirely written by that guy Paul Graham. The user "dang" is on this site basically 28/7. The guidelines are often waved at new users. Discussions die after a few hours. This 'community' has changed a lot in the last 12 years, so I don't know how well they're doing. Eternal September is something.

I've never seen an app take that long to launch on my machine before, so I think this is to highlight the sponsor.
> Why is it so difficult to reason about whether or not code will have side effects?

I’m not sure exactly what you mean here, but I can’t think of any reasonable way to write a JavaScript framework that invokes developers’ JS code containing functions, closures, etc. and makes it simple to reason about whether that code will have side effects. This seems like a basic consequence of Rice’s theorem. I suppose you could have a compiler that only supports a strict subset of JavaScript and makes side effects easier to reason about, but arguably that would just be its own separate language altogether.

Why on earth the Republican Party and it’s voter base is so concerned with non heteronormative information making it’s way into classrooms, where what is suppose to be the fundamental place where our youth are suppose to learn about the world and what things are, has always baffled me.

It’s a disservice to children and adults frankly. It’s not like these things just disappear because people disagree with them.
I find it amusing how Google went an extra mile to kill IrDA on Android, to push own Google Beam.

I run a mail server for my own business and a few of my clients. I love the idea of making spammers pay for storage. But I agree in general this wouldn't make much difference for most people.
