From personal experience I can add another observation. We didn't used to have herds of identical commodity hardware machines in racks. We started with one, very expensive, computer, bespoke for the task at hand. Maybe it was financial, for which we had an IBM s/360. Maybe it was scientific, using a CDC or later, a Cray.

At some point in 1993 the concept of the rack mount came along, with Compaq's ProLiant. I worked at a place in the late 90s where we had 3 machines in a rack, load balancing out website. We could get along with just 2, under normal load, so the third acted as both surge capacity and a hot spare. Whenever we needed to maintain or replace a system, we did it one at a time, during low-traffic times. We had some in-house tools that made the down time for any individual machine small enough that it was possible to get all three replaced in a day's work.

Later, the concept of high-availability really got going, so we needed more than just 3, and we needed to be able to swap out more quickly. I believe I have to credit PC makers for creating the first tools for mass configuration management. The ability to set up and maintain dozens(!) of identical desktop machines across the company made life easier. Tools for replicating systems like Puppet came along in 2005 and later. It became possible to deploy racks of identical cheap machines, identically configured.
I keep thinking this is a ripe space for a startup. I could see it being, "Infrastructure for local news" or perhaps "Local news in a box."

For example, what would it take to have something like Berkleyside[1] for every small town in the country? Or what about something like Block Club[2]

If anyone wants to spit ball ideas for this, I'd love to riff: https://calendly.com/evan-arnold/riff-on-local-news?month=20...

I wish I had understood (not just known) that I was going to have to give up a lot of my time and activities. That I needed to let go of them to grab on to something else - time with my children, a relationship with them. I held on to trying to keep some time to myself, and didn't give as much of myself as I should have to my children.

On the other hand... Martin Mull said, "Having children is like having a bowling alley installed in your brain." You need to keep some space for your own thoughts amid all the noise that kids can bring. So there's a balance, and going too far in either direction will cause problems. In retrospect, I see which side I was off on.
Yah-- I'm not even quite talking about that, though. Whether someone else is better qualified to help in a given circumstance or not, we're conditioned to not get involved because someone else will. Hence, the bystander effect, which stops people from being helpful even when they could.

I have first aid training, too, and my impulse is not to rush to help but to look around at other people and see if they're going to do something.
Yes, thanks. Fixed
The train appears on the car's HUD and the distance appears to be calculated properly before it tries to turn in front of it. I don't think object detection is what went wrong in this case (which is scarier imo).
How are you defining "radical" and why would you preclude that term being used on the average so-labelled "TERF"?
Here are a few ideas...

- Build a free little library

- Learn to skateboard

- Collaborate on a short-story

- Build a treehouse

- Learn to bake bread

- Plant a garden

- Go on hikes together

- Learn to safely fire a .22 or BB gun

Great article, very informative. If you do a follow-up, I'd love to read about how the different SCHED modes interact with each other / default operation.
I think the term your looking for here is 'performative oversight'

I think that your first example has much, much less value than we typically ascribe it. It would be far more beneficial if we (collectively) started to spend more time talking to/interacting with our neighbors and local community.

In terms of news that an algorithm realizes people find interesting — yeah, overwhelming the most “interesting” news is, if not outright fake or totally misleading, then highly incendiary. Regional issues have been covered for 100+ years by journalists in responsible and nuanced ways. Social media is not required and, I’d assert once more, actively harmful.
Rolling out a new architecture isn't just about getting your own tools out, it's about enabling the rest of the ecosystem to come along for the ride.

LLVM is specifically meant to be a compiler backend that you write languages frontends against. It sort of solves the expression problem for programming languages, and there's a whole range of production-ready compilers out there using it. When they add support for an architecture, every one of those languages also gets a large part of the work to support it done for them.
I think you misunderstood the question.

If you insert an element at the beginning, there's no list iteration cost.
That often occurs. SJW and woke originated on the left before being co-opted by their opponents as insults. Naturally, many on the left now dislike those terms.
We already have enough youthful political activists that are 100% disconnected from the real world.

Why would we want the youngest, least experienced, most ideological, and frequently petulant to elect leaders?

More youth voters won't fix a thing. It will, in fact, make things a lot worse.
I had no idea Robertson still existed. I received a box of them for free when they were [Edit] being pushed in the 80's and loved them. The screw would stay on the bit no matter what angle I held the drill which made putting screws into hard to reach places super easy. No need for magnetic bits or other tricks. The local stores only carry Phillips, Hex and Torx so I buy Torx for the smaller screws and Hex for the bigger fence post screws.
It really depends, right?

For playing a gig, the Hydrasynth is a far better UI.

But in general, all these rigs are very specific to their users. I've brought the HS to a lot of traditional jams where keyboard players are.

Most folks can't come up and perform on my hydrasynth, either, unless I show them which 3 knobs to play with for a specific patch.

Each patch is "like a totally custom rig that nobody but you can understand, because you built it".

Anyhow, the question is how much information is displayed at a glance, not "quality of the UI", and your original comment ignores a lot of that information. I'm sorry if pointing that out didn't feel nice to you so you decided to move the goalpost.
Don't forget Master -> Main for git.
Are the towns busted because they no longer have propagandists? Or, did the propagandists move on after the towns had already been bled dry, & were no longer worth the effort?

I'm old and from the city. The newspaper has always been a puppet of hospitals, real estate brokerages, & car dealerships. Part of how these companies get away with murder is by putting the entirety of local media, print & broadcast, in their back pockets.

Unless you're paying something in the ballpark of Bloomberg terminal prices, you're the product.
Agree. With 330 million people I'm pretty sure you can find at least a few bad ones every. single. day.

I'm glad we give them air time.

Yes, I wrote GB but meant MB. (I suppose because the former is more common nowadays.)
Would it not be better to have some accredited auditing sevice that can verify and certify crypto code?

After all, the whole infosec feild moves fast and what was 100% professinal at the time of being trained with the then known aspects does not mean that they would hold true today.

Heck I'm certified to recogise drugs and bombs, yet I'd not have any idea upon many modern drugs or explosives, so in some eye's I qualify as a professional and in my eye's I'm far from it and garantee many who have no such acreditation would be far better than I.
Okay, then we need to tell people where to get this professional training. What should one do before one rolls their own crypto?

But nobody does that. Nobody says "don't roll your own crypto until you learn these things and pass these tests." They just say don't, and the people saying don't are often the ones who are.

So it's ignored, and with no good guidance people write crappy crypto.
But it just doesn't sound the same as on classic, analog cassette!
I’ve visited Chicago a few times (not in winter, though), and I loved it. Maybe my favorite American big city. Great people, fascinating architecture, middle finger to TFG tower along the river. Also, I never got crimed.
Hope so, I think their biggest risk is just being so niche that won't have enough clients to sustain the founders ambition and they will give up halfway.

It's hard to put your faith on a product you don't know will exist in 2 years.
> There are a number of studies showing what is beneficial specifically about local news:

keyword here is "associated".

Does lack of local media coverage cause "less informed voters, lower voter turnouts, and less engaged local politicians", or is it the reverse? It certainly seems plausible. If you don't care about politics at all, you're probably happy sitting at home watching daytime national TV rather than reading the local paper.

The same applies to newspaper closures being associated with higher borrowing costs. Towns that are on a downward spiral would cause higher borrowing costs (who wants to borrow to a town with a dwindling tax base?) as well as causing local media establishments to shut down.
> I think people are good overall.

Until a certain amount of sacrifices have to be made. Then things start getting tribal. The sacrifices do not even have to be material, simply sacrificing or losing socioeconomic status relative to others is sufficient.
It's not only the media but also the political campaign industry. Some inner city council person somewhere says they hate Jewish people and suddenly their opponent for city council has nationwide fundraising support. Same for some small town mayor saying they don't want "those people" in his town. Now there's money flooding in nationwide for his opponent in the election. In a country of 330 million, there's always a politician somewhere saying something reprehensible. Political parties and their fundraising wings love finding these incidents and then making money off of them.
Are you saying that it is OpenPilot that is responsible for Teslas crashing into stopped vehicles and barriers and turning illegally in front of trams; and that more or better data labeling would not improve that behavior?

Because I didn't see any mention of "OpenPilot", as such.
The drop comes from two critical changes:

1. improvements in domestic water usage arising from changes to in-home fixtures and appliances. Per capita use in cities across the US southwest has dropped by 30% or more over the last few decades.

2. switching over to grey/recycled water usage for a huge chunk of municipal water irrigation (eg. city parks, highway medians etc.). This uses a significant amount of water, and switching to water that has already been used once has a dramatic impact.

Nanometers are fake though. Samsung 3GAE probably has worse performance than TSMC N4.

Ah yes, anybody who doesn't want to write blank checks to the military industrial complex must be a secret Russian spy.

I don't think apps make anywhere near that much money now unless I'm mistaken
It’s not like vms have magical simplicity guardrails. I run all my personal stuff in K8s because it’s what I know and it’s all pretty set it and forget it. If it really is that simple, or your comfortable with Ansible great! but I’ve seen lots of issues on VMs with mountains of custom deploy scripts, or OS’ that can’t be upgraded, or manual configurations people don’t understand.
You will not get any sleep for a long long time. Our oldest didn’t sleep through the night until she was 7! The rest learned to sleep through the night much quicker, but still… get all the sleep while you can now. But, do keep in mind that this too shall pass. All of my kids are old enough that it has been years since I was last kept from getting a full nights sleep because of the kids.

Do not try to be quiet around the baby. People who have signs on their doorbells saying “please don’t ring, the baby is trying to sleep” make us shake our heads. They are clearly new parents who haven’t learned that the last thing you want to do is to train your children to only be able to stay asleep when it is absolutely quiet.

Prioritize your relationship with your wife or SO. The kids will move out eventually, but your wife will (hopefully) still be there. I know people who refuse to ever get away as a couple because one of them don’t want to leave the kids. Leave the kids with someone you trust and get away on a regular basis.
For additional context, this was published in 2011.
I think your question was rhetorical in casting journalism that focuses on American goodwill as "human interest" was designed to engender an angry response;
that it was a trollish question where you already had an answer that was baiting; that you were not at all asking that question; that you were expressing an opinion.

I think your responses affirm my read.
Why aren’t magnets used more to achieve the same effect?
Caveat: there is the trivial case of calling the middle function zero times. Which does happen (in the case of a Maybe type) but presumably any useful code needs to be able to call the function sometimes.
As far as I've noticed in public articles and discussions, there has been a growing association in the past decade between the words 'genius' and people of hard-work and wealth (e.g. Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Bill Gates).

I don't think anyone would dispute the intelligence and industry of folks like the above.

But the word 'genius' has specific connotations. It implies superlative intelligence/ability in a specific domain of skill, which goes beyond ordinary grit, hard work and opportunity. More and more often the word is nowadays thrown around to describe people of accomplishment in business, rather than the usual kinds of 'genius' we grew up thinking of. I personally don't agree with the word 'genius' as such a catch-all phrase.
A single counter-example is Uniswap. I can swap one currency or token into any other currency or token, in seconds, with a very modest fee of 30 basis points. And I can do this anytime, 24/7. Fiat-denominated, bitcoin, altcoin, whatever. I don't have to pick up the phone and talk to anyone, don't have to worry about my money being locked up for days while it gets cleared by the ACH process.

Another example is Aave, or Compound. I can take fiat-denominated crypto or bitcoin/ethereum/etc and Lend it in return for a modest interest rate. I can also borrow up to 80% of my collateral in fiat-denominated or other cryptocurrency and leverage that in a trading market. Again, I don't have to talk to anyone or get permission to do so. And I can borrow/lend indefinitely, and withdraw whenever I'd like.

It's alright if this is not valuable to you or your clients. But to say this is not a valuable and novel application is demonstrably false, as > $50 Billion in value is currently held in these applications.
That it's neither free nor open-source, despite claiming to be the latter.

> 1. By reading this sentence, You have agreed to the terms and conditions of this License.

Hopefully it's obvious what's wrong with this.

Here's the other bad parts of the license, along with some of what makes them bad:

> 1. You are permitted to use the Program to validate published
scientific claims.

> 2. You are permitted to use the Program to validate scientific claims
submitted for peer review, under the condition that You keep
modifications to the Program confidential until those claims have
been published.

> 3. You are permitted to use and/or modify the Program for the
validation of novel scientific claims if You make a good-faith
attempt to notify the Author of Your work and Your claims prior to
submission for publication.

> 4. If You publicly release any claims or data that were supported or
generated by the Program or a modification thereof, in whole or in
part, You will release any inputs supplied to the Program and any
modifications You made to the Progam. This License will be in
effect for the modified program.

The Free Software Definition says this:

> The freedom to run the program means the freedom for any kind of person or organization to use it on any kind of computer system, for any kind of overall job and purpose, without being required to communicate about it with the developer or any other specific entity.

This license violates that in two different ways. It only lets you use the program to validate scientific claims, and it also requires you to communicate about it with the developer if the claims are novel.

It also says this:

> Freedom to distribute (freedoms 2 and 3) means you are free to redistribute copies, either with or without modifications, either gratis or charging a fee for distribution, to anyone anywhere. Being free to do these things means (among other things) that you do not have to ask or pay for permission to do so.

This license violates that by prohibiting you from redistributing modified copies if you made the modification to validate scientific claims that haven't yet been published.

The Open Source Definition says this:

> The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research.

This license violates that the same way it violates Freedom 0, by only letting you use the program to validate scientific claims.

It also says this:

> The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several different sources. The license shall not require a royalty or other fee for such sale.

This license violates that the same way it violates Freedom 3, by prohibiting you from redistributing modified copies if you made the modification to validate scientific claims that haven't yet been published.
The source material makes a weak case for the causation (rather than simply correlation) claimed in the title.

Here’s a link to the actual report, for some reason it’s buried 3 or 4 levels deep from the article:
https://localnewsinitiative.northwestern.edu/research/state-...

Notice the headline (clickbait?) topic is not the primary theme of the report. The report is primarily about the state of the newspaper business. In the key findings, “news deserts” causing a divide is only mentioned in one of the last points.

I’m not trying to disagree necessarily, but they need to provide better support for the tie-in.
>local news that has shifted to be digital.

Our local newspaper has a few actual journalists reporting on what is happening in government at city, county and state level. Just a few since all the layoffs. Sports is hanging on, but has been taken over by The Athletic.

Real journalism concerning business, arts and suburb cities is gone. The only time it is legitimately covered is if it is being covered elsewhere by local TV stations.

The newspaper website is a malignant entity infecting everyone with trackers and ads.

They are attempting video, but it lacks the content and production of even a mildly successful youtube creator.

I still subscribe to the digital product to help support the remaining journalists.
> Unity developers were very well aware that there was a small but extremely vocal minority of users who expressed their strong dislike and contempt for their work. We were also aware of the much larger and quieter plurality of people who liked and appreciated it, and maybe the majority of people who just turned on their computer and got to work without a second thought about the desktop environment.

How would you tell? If most people don't say anything and most of the ones that do say something have negative feedback, how do you distinguish between most people being okay with it versus most people hating it quietly?
I find it very hard to code in languages with no type check. Looking at all other domains, the tools make people better (medicine, constructions, etc). I can't code in vi, sorry, nor can I write a unittest w/o a good editor :)
The funny thing is I knew you would ignore all of the anti-white vitriol posted all over the first link, and my original comment called it out ahead of time. But this is HN and I wanted to be more polite so I let you show yourself instead :)
I think a local news publication could be done as a non profit with mostly volunteers. Kind of like an open source project.

There are enough people that enjoy sharing what’s going on and writing that it could be workable.

Maybe someone here could set up a sort of franchise that makes it easier for local communities to get set up.

From what I hear (I have relatives that own a housing construction company) the cost of labor and materials for housing has gone up ~20% YoY. So I'd expect that's probably near the high end of what inflation really is.

50 ft is 15 meters and change, at regular car speeds that is much shorter than your reaction speed. It's essentially an accident waiting to happen. At highway speeds you should be looking about 200 ft ahead of you for safe driving. See the 'two second rule', and that's for clear skies, daylight:

As I understand it, the CSPRNG check thing isn't a security feature, it's there in case the CSPRNG spits out an IV with the separator bytes in it. (That's also very silly, I'm just saying).
