San Francisco is an interesting case (and I say this as an SF native). The city government is so unfathomably dysfunctional in large part due to London Breed (the current mayor) bringing cronyism back as fast as she can.

Parts of the city are covered by MonkeyBrainz (microwave p2p), parts by Webpass (fiber), and most of the city is covered by Comcast (cable) or PacBell/SBC/AT&T (DSL and adjacent). Up until Sonic started rolling out 1 Gbps fiber a few years ago all I could get at my last place in the city was 3/1 Mbps ADSL or Comcast.

PacBell was always reluctant to build out RTs compared to GTE/Verizon (who has a significantly smaller presence in the Bay Area) so DSL speeds in large chunks of SF were always shit. Even when they did build out RTs the ILECs were never required to resell RT access so speeds remained shit. I'm not entirely sure why AT&T's U-Verse (FTTN, VDSL last mile) was rolled out so slowly but I expect the need for intrusive sidewalk boxes was part of the problem. Sonic got boned because SF's supervisors were/are reluctant to allow micro trenching. For a while there was some buzz about muni fiber but that never got off the ground (and Sonic certainly helped put a few nails in that coffin).
How do you mandate future behavior? If the device shipped, it shipped, and if Google revokes the Play license four years from now when security patches still haven't been applied, what does the company care? The phones are already sold, Play services aren't going to uninstall themselves, and they can claim they pinky swear to do it this time. Google's only recourse at that point would be to cut out their own market share with no real path to settling the dispute (how can you tell if this time Samsung or whoever will follow through?). At least with a simple upstream requirement, there's an immediate resolution: you can ship the phones with Play once you're done with the upstream merges. Not saying that's in any way likely to happen -- making your terms contingent on the whims of Linus Torvalds does not sounds like a wise strategy IMO -- but it at least makes more sense than after-the-fact requirements.
When I was using macOS regularly, CotEditor was my go-to text editor before I learned Emacs. Compared to XCode, Netbeans, and Eclipse, it had a miniscule memory footprint (somewhere between 10 and 20 MB). It wasn't as fast as Sublime for some tasks, like regex search, but had built in syntax highlighting support for nearly every programming language still in use, and it was very easy to create your own themes, with an intuitive graphical interface for setting colors for different token types.

GitHub should standardise a SUPPORT.md or similar file where maintainers could indicate what level of support to expect and how to pay for support. The default would be "unsupported" of course.
I did mean the T200.
Exactly; it's my understanding at least that most vendors do release their code - it's just that the code tends to be awful and will never get upstreamed as-is, so it's not as useful as you might wish. Still has some value, still complies with the GPL, but nowhere near "lets the phone run on mainline Linux" (which is super rare except for IIRC some Sony phones).

Other companies... honestly when you take a bit of perspective, the need for companies to make a profit is a huge cause of the overuse of resources... indeed the lack of a social net in the US is probably the cause of it huge part in the world's pollution...as in China the ability to work less or not at all isn't encouraged by the system in place...and please don't get me started on if you don't work who's producing the (junk) food... in WW2 the British poor actually eat better thanks to rationing... maybe less meat, ice cream, bread would be good for the world and the more developed countries...

In the starnix design doc [1] they mention the similarity to WSL1. There they mention the reason for abandoning WSL1 for WSL2 was due to poor performance characteristics of NTFS and that for starnix they need to make sure the filesystem is performant enough to compare against ext4.

There's a lot of comments on this thread pointing out typical bandwidth usage of popular streaming services, games etc and claiming that there's no need for higher bandwidth connections.

There's an important point that I think people are missing, which is that the bandwidth usage of internet services is going to be carefully tuned to balance quality and stability at typical internet speeds. When a large portion of consumers have < 100Mbps down of course all services are going to use < 100Mbps of bandwidth - you don't know what kind of stuff you're missing out on because of these slow internet speeds, because nobody is making it available, because it wouldn't work.

The most obvious thing that we already know we're missing out on is video streaming quality. You've possibly already noticed that low contrast dark scenes and scenes with snow/rainfall don't look very good on Netflix/YouTube/insert streaming service here - this is because these are the kind of scenes with the most obvious sacrifice of quality from video compression. (It's also possible you haven't noticed this, because streaming services generally avoid producing content that doesn't play well with their video compression).

You get hands on experience at a place

1. That has a functioning app

AND

2. Business is growing rapidly bringing more customers than the system can handle.

In other words you learn on the job by getting your hands burnt. I got lucky to have joined such a startup. Learnt a lot, from fixing DB queries, designing asynchronous order processor, using CDN etc. I worked on scaling up the full stack including stuff like connection pools.

So your best bet is to join such a startup. You will learn a lot by handling real user traffic. And also scaling isn’t homogeneous. For example, you make different trade offs scaling a search application Vs scaling a payment processor. So business use case and business domain does matter.
This is very US market centric.
>the word "shebang" was a common word in the middle of the last century,

Yes, it is. In the results section where they provide a differential analysis of TMREL & NDE stratified by age levels and point out an inflection point for the >= 40 ranges.

The exact words are not mentioned, but that is the substantive result and analysis provided, albeit with more nuances and important points than merely this age distinction.

This HN posting probably used the title it did because regular media outlets are headlining it that way. I would agree that's not the most appropriate way to title an HN submission to direct research without such a title. Generally the title on a post here should match the article, at least as much as is practical.

At a minimum it could have kept in the spirit of the article to simply title the HN submission something like "Safety & benefits of alcohol consumption vary by age groups".
> I also like being less entailed with Google and view Brave’s chromium base a lesser evil than FireFox’s funding dependency.

I don't understand how this makes sense. Running chromium with a skin and some components removed as opposed to a completely independent browser/engine that has proven to not implement features that will reduce user control over ads or tracking (most notably FLOC or Manifest V3) that google is fighting to implement. If you wanted the lesser evil and still believe firefox is evil, then wouldn't a WebKit based browser be the least evil?
I'm aware of what it looks like, and I've been up at 12-15% before. It's absolutely genetic, most of my family runs very skinny. I have generally decent muscle definition, although the fat I have tends to sit in my hips and shoulders. My doctor suggested I might have less interstitial fat than most people, which explains a few other health effects.

I'm not bragging, there are serious downsides, but it's absolutely possible to sit at 10% year-round, just not while maintaining any serious level of elevated muscle mass.
Well, it's GTK, so take that as you will.

Yorba was around for a bit and did a few really ambitious applications in Vala, but never really finished and kinda disappeared. Shotwell and Geary came from them.
> isn't that rust, but better?

Clearly no, because Vala has a bunch of issues with memory safety. Not because it's a bad language, but since it translates directly to GObject, there is a lot of problems around pointers, ownership, ... mainly because that language lacks maintainers and GTK/Gimp developers didn't like it because they are "C essentialists".
Incorrect, there is an 8chan right now, in addition to 8kun. It's at 8chan.se.

I find this omission weird, too.

It seems to me that, maybe because of the situation described in this article, Tauri already has become, or at least is quickly becoming, the clear answer to this question.

This article seems to be implicitly excluding Tauri from consideration, because the UI portion in Tauri is not "native" or even Rust-based. With Tauri, you write the whole app in Rust except the UI.

(Technically, you could use some Rust UI frontend tech, but I think 99% of devs using Tauri are using some web UI technology, such as one of the several excellent built-in vite-powered starting points (Svelte, Vue, Solid, React, Angular...) or something similar.)

This seems to me to be a pretty good solution for the next several years, at least, because implementing a good cross-platform native UI toolkit is very very hard — so hard that, arguably, nobody has ever done it.
Just a great read. I'm commenting to bookmark the post and commentary for myself.

Reading the room, I think I'm in the minority of those who think the author ('the last psychiatrist') is spot on about the psychosis of people. Particularly about an internal ledger kept in one's heads of who has sacrificed more or less, and the internal indignation people have about how their ledger with their children, friends or lovers are unbalanced and must be "balanced" in a twisted and covert way. Like depriving others of love and invoking envy in strangers lol - very much like the ethos of 'true money' of the original Bitcoin Satoshi's vision of 2009 corrupted into the FOMO and ngmi/wgmi cult of altcoins and ponzi's of 2022. A ledger of dollars and cents is actually a ledger about our collective unconsciousness of fear and loathing of capitalism and technology in the 21st century!

I loved the bit about people's true intentions of posting things on social media - it is deprive others of joy by acknowledging "I was there at the destination, at the party, on the beach" and "you weren't"; and how it causes a mass silent hysteria where one narcissistic injury leads to another - like a daisy chain or turtles all the way down of deprivation. It is a simple laugh with social media flexing but it is actually tragic when I see that when people use this motivation to make decisions about their careers, relationships and life goals - to move away from freedom towards security disguised as freedom.

I loved the blog's author's posting about Tony Soprano's clip in Dr. Melfi's office, about how he is envious of the "happy wanderer" and wants to "choke him out for no reason at all". I sincerely believe this is the ultimate jealousy of jealous people and narcissists - not someone who is as stressed as they're tryin' to keep up the daisy chain of deprivations and envy, but someone who is happy for "no reason at all" - and invalidates completely the empty status game and false self they've cultivated over a course of a life.

Yeah, this kind of study is for me quite at the pinnacle of the western problem with science and medicine where mental health and subtle social well-being is just pushed under the rug. Do we get the same publicity towards antibiotics, which are also like not without their big drawbacks? Or any kind of "science" stamped drugs and treatment really. Humans have been consuming what we call bad bad drugs now since i believe earlier than writing, even other animals are doing it. Maybe you know, practice and evolution, has determined it had positive effects. And perhaps (wow big idea) over-consumption of alcohol is a symptom and not an isolated problem.

Oh yeah, this was financed by the B&M Gates foundation, explains some stuff about the pov. I'm not doubting the "internal" quality of this research, this is probably top notch statistics and data quality, but the philosophical ground and world view behind the institutions that produced it is so heavy at the same time.
Los Altos Hills is one of the wealthiest zip codes in the country, filled with tech millionaires and billionaires.. whatever the price may be, it’s heavily subsidized by extremely rich people who became wealthy due to tech companies wanting it in the first place. On Zillow, the cheapest house there is $4M and will likely be purchased to be torn down, the most expensive property is $40M and looks like a boutique hotel. Not really fair to compare them to the normal town.
Yes, it actually totally makes sense, but the issue is that if one draws the mental picture the wrong way the first time (and is left uncorrected), it's equally easy to draw the mental picture (i.e. of commits "flying around" from one branch to another) in the other direction too. That's what bit me

I don't even know how to check for mistakes here with my current employer (god speed to the code I wrote at my previous jobs). Unlike a merge, a rebase leaves no trace except in the reflog :(
> You are ignoring the comorbidities aspect GP was talking about.

Even if we split this into two groups - those under 18 with comorbidities, and those without, there's still good evidence for both groups to get vaccinated. I don't know if there is a good breakdown nationally, but even just looking at NYC, the evidence becomes compelling. NYC has a dataset that breaks down deaths by age group and by comorbidity status:

https://github.com/nychealth/coronavirus-data/blob/master/to...

For under 18, as of 9/11/21 (yes, I wish they'd push a more recent update), 29 total deaths, 19 with an underlying condition, 5 without, and 5 pending/unknown. Underlying conditions by NYC's metric is pretty broad:

> Underlying conditions currently include diabetes, lung disease, cancer, immunodeficiency, heart disease, hypertension, asthma, kidney disease, gastrointestinal/liver disease, and obesity.

So, in New York City alone, and as of nearly a year ago, you had 5 kids under the age of 18 with no known underlying conditions who died of Covid. Just an educated guess, but it's quite plausible we've had 100+ deaths nationally in the under 18 with no underlying conditions group. That alone is pretty strong evidence in favor of vaccinating everyone in the under 18 group, and not just those with underlying conditions.

All that said, the primary reason for vaccine mandates for schools is related to transmission. And here too, there is good efficacy.

Ultimately, the harm/benefit calculation is quite clear in favor of vaccinations for kids, outside of rare scenarios. The main debate is whether the risk of backlash from schools mandating vaccination is worth the clear benefits of increasing vaccine uptake in these age groups.

> Cloth masks are security theater. Nobody’s disputing properly worn N95s. GP is talking about what has been pushed for two years and the credibility that has been destroyed. They’re not talking about recent shifts.

Cloth masks reduce transmission. They're not great at doing so, but they do still have an effect. Surgical masks are better. KN94/N95/etc are much better. Yes, we should have long ago moved to surgical as the minimum viable mask in mask mandate scenarios. It's unfortunate that we didn't. But even still, cloth masks do still help a small amount.
It just feels weird to run this random experiment on my current child. Is evolution/biology wrong, and this processed stuff from the store better?? You'd have to have shocking amounts of studies to convince me it's better to have a baby eat that fake stuff than a mother's breast milk.

And finally, I think it's incredibly selfish to argue about equitably splitting feeding times, at the likely expense of your child's health and growth.

Young adults and men seem to be less healthy than ever. Plummeting testosterone, crazy rates of allergies, increased suicide rates, high depression.... But your right, if feeding them processed junk was bad, we'd see signs of it by now.
yeah, like who cares about heliophysics
CotEditor is great. I've been using it for years, though not as my primary editor. It feels like a spiritual successor to TextWrangler. In some respects it feels a little old-school in that it's not afraid to use multiple windows. For instance, CotEditor's Find command still spawns a separate floating window, which used to be ubiquitous in Mac apps but has all but been entirely supplanted by the inferior waste-of-space-randomly-attached-tiny-UI carbuncle search that now infest even the likes of TextEditor.app and Terminal.app.

The creator/maintainer is also quite responsive to suggestions. I managed to convince him to make CotEditor support Cmd-Shift-[ and Cmd-Shift-] for switching between tabs by pointing out that although they're not the canonical forms (that would be Ctrl-Tab and Ctrl-Shift-Tab respectively) they're much easier to use and supported by pretty much all programs that even have multiple tabs, from Chrome to TextEdit.
Dev with a flair for writing over here. Using semicolons is a good practice for separating clauses, especially if you're being verbose

My mother gave me my first car; it was an beautiful 2002 Honda Civic with a falling-off bumper and bald tires.

You could replace the semicolon with a comma thus:

My mother gave me my first car, a beautiful 2002 Honda Civic with a falling-off bumper and bald tires.

That feels a little more natural, but is harder to read accurately.

It's useful in legal and technical writing, but not necessarily great for everyday life. Personally, I don't really use semicolons; you may have different opinions on their usage.

It's basically an arrow in text.

this -> that

as opposed to a comma, which feels more like

this and also that
Here are some tips which most of distributed systems follow :

1. Almost all distributed systems has a global load balancer sitting in front, which will distribute your traffic to nearest possible server.

2. Decide how do you want to make your DB replication to happen. Is it active/active, active/passive, P2P, etc ?

3. What do you choose between Consistency and Availability when Network Partition happen? Some databases like Cassandra are eventual consistent.

4. Any asynchronous tasks will need to use queuing service.

5. Any performant API will need to use Caching and CDN.

Over at his Computer Things newsletter[1], Hillel Wayne offers up some additional kinds of documentation worth adding to the four-document model. He lists five, but goes into detail on two: Conceptual Overviews are intended for beginners. They walk through all the concepts at a very high level. They provide no guide on “how,” avoid jargon, and can be understood by outsiders. Case Studies are examples that explore interesting or complicated problems in applying the concepts documented. An example is intentionally simplified, sometimes toy problems. A case study will show how to use the concepts on problems taken from real world uses.
