NYC is remarkably safe, and it could still be easily safer: 124 pedestrians died after being hit by cars in 2021[1], and 2022 looks like it'll continue the trend. The city has a clearance rate of just 3% for hit-and-runs, despite the extraordinary amount of money we've gifted the NYPD for comprehensive surveillance.

Anecdotally, I see much more petty disregard for traffic laws by cars (including large vans and trucks) than I did before COVID.

If those were imported massively in usa or canada [and take a chunk off the 2k shipping and other extra fees that could be averaged down], they would sell tons even if not street legal, awesome base for hacking or small vehicle for small farms or woodlands.
Could you explain more about how buying your first house led to news articles and a podcast that all generated revenue? Seems like it would not be reproducible by many people but interesting nonetheless.
- there's no incentive for them to do it - it's a rejection, they don't have a reason to please you

Oh, my gosh. The sheer quantity of candidates I reject. I have a complicated puzzle that is poorly described by the Job Description. In the interview, I try to see how you fit I to the existing puzzle. If you don't fit, then you "don't fit". As simple as that. Don't take it personal. Don't re think your life. Just... keep looking.
This is TLC flash, don't worry.
Dev here. There are so many interviews in my calendar that they are usually a chore. I do them professionally, but outside of 1h phonescreen/onsite and a panel syncup I'm not willing to spend any extra minute.
The truth is we don't care about you, legal concern might be valid but more for HM/HR.
Colleges are less impactful for trendy tech companies than they are for finance or whatever. I went to a no-name state school and could get into these things. If you really did an internship programming at Walgreens, it's easy enough to omit it from your resume.
Yes, it seems pretty straightforward, and would work the same way it works with a maker space.

We trust the general public to operate a table saw unsupervised, so I think it would be completely imaginable for the government to offer a supervised space and equipment (and safety training).

It’s absolutely not hard for me to imagine that at all.
Same here, but I also backup to the cloud (my partner) and they remind me if I have watched it.
Recently I’ve been reimplementing some sequencing patches using Scheme for Max and I can say it’s really a joy to use so far. Thank you Iain for making and releasing it. And documenting it!

As someone that loves what Max and Max for Live can do, but prefers a more traditional programming language when implementing complex logic, it really is exactly what I’ve been hoping for. And it’s a Lisp!
Ha, same here, actually. There is an older stand-alone Unix
port as well, though -- this is what I built and use (sam -d),
because I don't need the entire p9p ecosystem.

I actually use it with rlwrap to get line editing history:

rlwrap -n sam -d $@

I really like sam's command language, it is mildly addictive.

Apparently, a stand-alone Unix sam is also available in 9base:

I don't think I agree with their definition of external causes. Getting caught in a lawn mower or a death due to your own driving isn't an external cause in the same way that homicide is.
I'm really torn on Signal these days. It's still a great method of communication, but it's kinda floating in a sea of other great methods of communication.

I remember using TextSecure while rockin' a Whisper System shirt, cause it was the best way to show support, but now it's opaque updates to include cryptocurrency, chat stickers, and subscriptions.
As we know all too well in the world of enterprise software, customers and users aren’t always the same mammal.

> (chronological feed, seeing friends posts, not seeing spam, more ways to interact (bring back pets, gifts, superpokes etc)) they'd do ok.

I don't think so. TikTok is vastly more addictive and fresh in its content. How much content can your circle creating in a day? No more than 20 posts I would say? If facebook stays being facebook, they will die anyway.

Problem in facebook right now, there isn't enough people to interact with, it is a social network, but tiktok is not. Tiktok is the new TV, with endless contents. I follow zero people there, but still I using it the right way.
A Master’s degree in CS, like a bootcamp, is a negative signal about an applicant.
To be fair, it'd be fantastic if there were an option to put an automatic hard stop on services once a billing threshold is reached. I seem to recall AWS explaining how to rube-goldberg something together yourself with lambdas and alerts, but if they're capable of telling me to how cobble together the feature myself with their services, surely they could offer it as a turnkey option.

That aside, I also understand that they can't actually put a hard cap, since usage is measured after the fact occurs, and by the time the system triggers a halt, more usage has likely occurred. At the very least, I'd be fine with paying $X + 1 when I set an auto-shutdown threshold to $X if that was what they had to do to implement it.

Outside of that quibble, I find the other complaints to be less reasonable.
Yeh lol at the facebook is dying bot. I left social media 5yrs ago (no fb, never used tiktok). I remmeber MySpace and how i left it for FB.

You cant build a buisness on a bubble. You can build a bubble and extract money from investors, but honestly, the only people who use facebook are doing it because they are addicted and likely not internet savy. Its like hooking people on sugar. Except fb doesnt own the sugar, and cant only buy up the competition for so long before your no longer the hot stuff investors belevied.

Facebook is a fad. Social media is not, it has overtaken traditional media in less then a decade. Social media will morph, it is not static. You cant own it. And Facebook is not the defination of it anymore.
I'd recommend you take a long hard look around if you think fascism isn't possible in the US. The modern GOP is now predicated on a belief that the last election was stolen, and that they need to steal the next one to compensate. Fascism doesn't require a coup, and it's plausible that US fascism won't use one.

Here, have a podcast about the subject: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-it-could-happen-here-307...
There's not a big difference between skirting the rules of CAN-SPAM with annoying junk emails and email list sales to whoever will pay and violating it outright. There's a pretty clear line between useful work and scummy opportunism which is crossed constantly by "legitimate" email marketing.
Exactly the reverse. Most IOT sensors suffer because of cost, battery, and engineering complexity for a cell based connection. Helium solves all three - even more important now that 3G is being phased out making thousands of IOT sensors obsolete
Ah, I see what you're saying. I've had to do some debugging in GitLab instead of local and it wasn't ideal. To prevent mucking with important stuff, I have a scratch project that's dedicated to testing things. It isn't perfect, but I've been able to replicate nearly every problem in the scratch project
The point is that you don't know up front if or when that's going to happen.
Is this true? I’m not aware of any topics that major and minor comics don’t discuss today.
As far as I can tell, marketplace has displaced Craigslist. It's still low-friction and local, but a bit more trustworthy.
You might say that following it without understanding the purpose of it, or understanding it and looking at code that doesn't follow it, can both make you MISRAble.
So just to upset greeks?
My extended family shares a paid Slack instance and it works great. Some of them are on Facebook as well, mostly for marketplace and groups; I don't use FB (I am not really interested in seeing glimpses of distant relatives' lives). I think there is a real future for services targeting the middle ground between the very public nature of Facebook and the very private nature of an email.
It took me four years for my US PhD, but I had a masters and industrial experience which might have helped speed things up.
I am not construing anything, I am inquiring about the process that results in properties "often" uninhabited but having cars and lights to appear occupied. You are saying this is some well known and often happening phenomenon, if so I'd like more information. If such service exist I'd like to use it myself when going on vacation, why do yo become all defensive?
FWIW, I've never heard of or seen a bus halt at an empty stop when no one on board wanted to get off. The only exception to this is if they are running ahead of schedule, in which case a halt to return to the set timetable is the right thing to do.

Maybe this behavour is very locale dependent?
It depends how you measure it, right? I now only use Facebook for events and that is because there is nothing else that competes. Everything else in the Facebook app is awful, and even events is increasingly user-hostile. I recently deleted instagram (an app I actually used to really like!). But I still count as a daily active user in their reporting.

I wonder what their internal engagement metrics look like. I bet Facebook’s feed engagement (which is their primary ad display) on the Facebook app is way down, because the feed sucks. Instagram risks doing the same with this frenzied push for engagement.
And the food is delivered using an old-school automat format where you can see people on the other side but never talk to them if anything is wrong.
Yes, that feels like an unnecessary broadening on their part. The data (second graph) already makes the point for them: NYC did better on murder rates than everywhere except fringe counties in 2020, and even beat them in the years before.
Has anyone tried forwarding those to 7726?

I don't see them being in business long term either as all the cars start adopting their features. But I like the hackability. I actually run a fork right now that gives my Honda superpowers. Couldn't do that with a stock system.
> Facebook is dying because they stopped being Facebook. If they gave what's left of their userbase what they actually wanted (chronological feed, seeing friends posts, not seeing spam, more ways to interact (bring back pets, gifts, superpokes etc)) they'd do ok.

I have no horse in this race, but why do you think you know what's better for FB more than the thousands of smart engineers and PMs working there?

They clearly saw TikTok as a direct threat, and, probably fueled by thousands of data-driven tests, confirmed that this change results in more engagement and keeps more people on their site for longer.

What you seem to want from FB is likely what a minority of its older userbase wants, but wouldn't make graphs go up and right as much. They need to attract younger generations and new users if they want to do that.
Engagement is a pretty shitty metric when used in isolation though. I've worked at places where changes that increased engagement were considered successful at higher levels even though the support team knew the increased engagement was caused by increased confusion and friction in using the product.
> I live in a small village and there is currently discussion going on about extending the legal amount of time a person can keep holiday decorations on their house.

The need for some people to police *everything* is exhausting.
Half the stories on HN about major cities involve their inability to prosecute crimes despite being provided evidence but now police are combing through grocery store CCTV feeds looking for people buying Amazon gift cards and Mullvad VPN vouchers? What kind of crime are they prosecuting that isn’t better investigated with a crowbar.

Great post, thanks. I remember visiting TOM with my boss one day (our firm was located in Seattle, just north of Burien), and seeing their server room behind glass, a sea of low-rise Wang systems with a single tall VAX standing above them like a skyscraper.
If you didn't have those problems with non-remote work, perhaps try to recreate about non-remote-work that stopped those problems from occurring.

Maybe you don't feel a clear boundary between work and home life? For whatever reason, my mental context goes by the hours on the clock. I'm mentally at work on a fixed schedule, 8-5. I'm mentally not at work on opposite side of that fixed schedule, with just as much fixity as I have on working during 8-5. So, perhaps rigidly fixed hours help?
Why? I did an engineering undergrad and MSCS part time so I could take some fun classes I wished to take in undergrad. What’s the negative signal in general?
You are more likely to die sure. But this is kind of lying with statistics. Cars are a huge issue though that are largely ignored in society, which I won't dispute. BUT lets look at what people talk about when they say safe. They don't necessarily mean just that they won't be murdered or not. But also if they will randomly be jumped, robbed, burgled, punched in the knock out game or hit with a brick, etc. Non-violent crime, and violent but not murder crime is probably much higher in the cities.

And I say this as someone that likes cities.
Also you earn more in a big city and that actually makes you safer (or the opportunity to be safer) in many ways.

Of course it would. The fact that almost no one has the hardware to attest, would mean trying to do that becomes extremely unpopular and shunned.

Why can't she use the same web based application on her laptop? DAWs are, by nature, extremely complicated, Linux or not. If she has something that already works, I don't see why you'd want to change.

I'd like to mention SonicPi though. It's a platform for creating music through code, and is used all over the world to teach kids both programming and music production at the same time. It's really cool.
This is definitely an option you want to be using when using ASan or LSan. You may also want to consider additionally using -momit-leaf-frame-pointer to skip frame pointers only in leaf functions while keeping frame pointers for non-leaf functions. This can make small leaf functions significantly shorter, limiting some of the negative impact of using -fno-omit-frame-pointer alone.

Sometimes even -fno-omit-frame-pointer won't help, like if the stack is being unwound through a system library that was built without frame pointers. In that case you can switch to the slow unwinder. Set the environment variable `ASAN_OPTIONS=fast_unwind_on_malloc=0` when running your program. But note that this will make most programs run significantly slower so you probably want to use it only when you really need it and not as the default setting for all runs.

I've moved from 3D printed designs like the Recovery Kit over to laser cut metal and rivnuts. I love them.
Checking WhatsApp statuses is like checking peoples away messages on AIM.

I think a feed is still the best way to deliver updates, but they seem to quickly get corrupted for monetization and algorithmic manipulation.
This is awesome. Are there any similar features that can be implemented with Mariadb? One of my favorite products is integrated with Mariadb.
Yep. One of the reasons that old-style classified ads in newspapers worked is that you had to pay to post an ad. Did people run scams in newspaper classifieds? Yes, but by and large the ads were legit. Today, legitimate online marketplace ads are drowned by the scam ads.
I'd love it if Meetup had a threaded discussion board with a way to pin photos and video. All my social networks would use it.

That's actually what Google+ was with circles before the morons in charge forcibly bundled it into Youtube and killed it. Google should have had some patience like the people over at Musical.ly and built an audience organically rather than shoving unwanted garbage down our throats.

His TCP/IP Illustrated book was formative in my career. I wish I had've salvaged that company copy when that business shutdown - it probably just got thrown out :(

Tridgell is possibly the most intelligent person I've ever met, and I've met Torvalds and a bunch of other Linux developers -- not that they aren't intelligent too, among them might be a challenger to that title.

Tridge has a way of explaining complicated ideas in a way that pares them down to their essence and helps you to understand them that just really struck me (a smart person is able to talk about a complicated thing in a way that makes you feel dumb, a really smart person is able to talk about a complicated thing in a way that makes you feel like a genius). As well as the ability and intellectual curiosity to jump seemingly effortlessly across disciplines.

And he's a fantastic and very entertaining public speaker. Highly recommend any talk he gives.
This is very impressive. My go-to for spotting fake faces online has been to look for different poses of the same face. I'm going to have to find a new tell
To get readline, I use socat instead of rlwrap. The later feels more sluggish.

I learned about the sam port with the -d option from you, so thanks for that.
Using a synonym isn't an "implicit extrapolation."

Again, "non-consentual nudity" means revenge porn.

Civilization: Call to Power
In most of my professional career (B2B), we didn't use any scraped data in our marketing system. We relied strictly on opt-in forms or in-person event data (some gray areas existed here).

However, you've unwittingly touched on one of the philosophical divisions that exist in most organizations between Marketing and Sales: Sales departments in general have a much more "liberal" idea of who is email-able. The idea being, "what's the rule against me just emailing someone about something"?

Well, you give a mouse a cookie and before you know it Sales has an entire email automation system to themselves. So if you look at an expensive sales tool like Outreach or Salesloft and ask, "what's the difference between this and a normal email automation tool" the answer is a lot of money and a lot of looking the other way.

So to give you a window into the politics of a GTM organization, most companies keep kind of a curtain of plausible deniability between their "inbound"/optin-based marketing and their outbound sales systems.
Wouldn’t that feel like our bodies are moving in slow motion? I think it would be very unpleasant.

Full CSS and zero javascript is the opposite of what I want.

I love the idea of just seeing everyone's current status, but realistically I want to be able to read people's history as well, otherwise the FOMO will have me checking this thing manually every minute (maybe an effective growth hack, but sounds like it'd end up even worse than twitter if it worked at all).

And realistically an RSS reader with a "tile view" achieves everything that this does.
I have siblings, cousins and other relatives and friends spread around the globe.

We keep in touch over Signal, WhatsApp, FaceTime, Jitsi, Messages... It's a little more work. We don't speak as often as we used to see each other's posts on Facebook but when we do get in touch it's a lot more personal and meaningful. It's not rare either. I speak to some pretty much daily, others weekly to monthly, and others perhaps more spread apart but it's always great when we do get in touch.

No vicarious experiences, no voyeurism into one another's lifes. Only pure and intentional human connection with all the imperfections that come with it. I recommend it.
Uber makes revenue from customers. Not all investments are good investments but the fact remains that businesses have non-investor participants from which the goal is, in the full course of time, to extract profits. While specific equities may be bad investments, equities in aggregate are positive-sum because investors aim to extract profit from non-investor participants. They may fail! But that doesn't change the goal.

This is not the same as a cryptocurrency which relies solely on later investors to create returns for earlier investors. There are no non-investor participants from which profits can be derived, period. Cryptocurrencies are in aggregate either zero-sum (best case, PoS) or massively negative-sum (worst case, PoW, especially Bitcoin).

This represents a pretty fundamental misunderstanding of, well, investing.
It would be interesting to graph clusters of jamming over time.

It's not just Facebook. For some people Instagram is the internet. For others Reddit is the internet. For others YouTube. Lots of people log into one app or website and get all their news, culture, politics, entertainment, sports in that one place.

It's interesting that you call it the new Aol, to me it's the new Yahoo.com.

Maybe in hindsight it's always been this way?
A solution to this might be to plan the breaks ahead of time, or shoot for chains in defined lengths (like 5 days in a row). This gives you time to rest without feeling guilty, and prevents having long chains that can let you down if broken.

If you time it right, you end up with weekdays for work and weekends for rest.
Vim-pencil, Rethinking Vim as a tool for writing
That's a fair point.

I think another perspective is that this is a case of businesses chasing (or being forced to chase) endless 'growth'.

Facebook is likely optimising to increase engagement and revenue.

But in my humble opinion the Facebook of the early 2000s was close to perfect in terms of use. Obviously leaving the product the same wasn't going to drive that revenue and make the careers of all the employees.

I wish Facebook remained as the platform I could jump on a couple of times a week to see what distant friends and my Grandma was up to. For a while they somehow managed to have just the right balance where it seemed like everyone on the planet would eventually sign up.

It felt like this was a huge step forward in how the world communicated.

Logging onto Facebook in 2022 is a cesspit of flashy videos and clickbait posts. What a disappointment.
7+ hours makes me picture a copy of On the Shortness of Life bursting into bright hot flame and disintegrating.
