To your point, I desire to live in Atherton. It is not affordable. Nor is it high density or will ever be.

High density is imposed upon medium density middle class zipcodes because it is the middle class that is working class.

There are more jobs in this zipcode because the govt has chosen to create infrastructure(often supported by the employers like FAANGs or HP at a time etc in the Bay Area for example). It was meant to benefit the workers.

But as these cities prospered, it became crowded. Instead of creating new cities with good infrastructure to replicate the success of tier 1 cities, corporations and governments are trying to stuff more sardines in a small metal can.

The FAANGs are basically run by the employees who are woke adult children who have never had any real life experience or have travelled beyond the confines of their fantasy world. The Govt is run by the equivalent of a pirate with a wooden peg leg and a green plastic parrot on its shoulder plundering the working middle class for extractive taxes with no returns and punishing the productive.

The ‘desirability’ is the availability of jobs. Corporate America and Big Govt are hand in glove as they keep scratching each other’s back. The immigrant tech work force often has no voice as most of them are denied green cards due to what is racism. An Indian or Chinese passport sends you to way back to the end of the immigration line. There is no DACA for the children of tech workers, mind you.

They are treated like cattle and then squeezed to death by taxes. The visa is the chain that binds them because they don’t even have the mobility to move to another job or city that is more affordable. If this isn’t thuggery and theft by Big Gov+Corporate America, I don’t know what is..

I have looked at the minutes of many city council meetings in the Bay Area. Every high density initiative is always wherever there is a substantial tech immigrant population..often Indian/Asian. And the high density is often affordable housing quotas to bring people from other Bay Area cities which is a redistribution program. In one Bay Area city, high density housing is mandated by Sacramento to bring in the homeless and create affordable housing from other cities in the county. But no new schools or roads. No community spaces and existing green and open spaces are being built. There is BART which is basically transport for people who come to the city to steal Amazon packages and catalytic converters. There is an increase in social spending for the new entrants but no increase in law enforcement even though crime has soared, no new fire stations and retail/shopping options have shrunk. Water, electricity and every utility bill has gone up by 25%. Property taxes increase every year and so does cost of
living.

What Corporate America and Big Gov needs to do is create more fantastic cities that are desirable. As an Example: Why this scarcity mentality that there will be only one Bay Area? Bay Area is a modern day labour camp. It’s expensive and crowded not because it is desirable but because people are trapped. Trapped by their jobs and by taxes.
Is losing weight an important health goal?
This seems like a very weird choice of post to refresh/second-chance queue given the subject matter and the 100s of comments from two days ago.

Did a mod misclick?
Yes — the only difference between your example and those is that ad networks democratize information, rather than spreading misinformation being an elite privilege.

How is that worse than Yellow Journalism?
The entire company only has a single DGX or your section/office/division has only a single DGX? Many of these large companies are so big the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. One department may be starving for cash while another one across the office cubic is awash in funding.

There are some companies that don't have centralized high-performance compute resources so each department goes out and builds or buys and their own performance compute resources and strings it along. Many universities do this too where physics has a compute cluster and economics and bio-sciences have another cluster and sometimes they are underpowered and if all the departments grouped together and pooled their resources they would have adept system administrators and developers and hardware to support their computing needs but it doesn't always happen with poor governance so they end up with stuff that appears to be built from someone's basement and when that person leaves, retires, graduates there's so much poor documentation none know what to make of anything.

> Nevertheless, we had a functional polity in that era, with dissidence, yes, but also with broad consensus about what was true, false, and subject to reasonable contestation. As someone who often felt dissident, I can tell you that it sucked. Lots of important values and ideas got no meaningful hearing outside of very ghettoized information spaces. At the same time, it was a much more livable society beyond the frontiers of ones own dissidence. There was a lot one could get away with just taking for granted, as an individual trying to make sense of the world. Collectively, politically, we were a much more capable society, we had a stronger shared basis for action in the common good. The church of network television was consistent with an era of bipartisanship, and with experiments in policy—which were often mistaken, in part due to the narrow and blinkered information environment that framed them! But at least things could be tried, which is more than we can say for our polity at present

I'd like to see some evidence this is true and not just the author having a much smaller bubble, which he compared with some subset of the mainstream he had access to and paid attention to, and now having access to more bubbles which reveals the insanity that was always there.
I guess I should've been more clear. My point is other people /using/ your Makefile, not editing it. You know what you're running. You don't know what everyone else is running. I've singled out ONESHELL because it will be silently ignored by non-GNU make, and it will behave ever so slightly different enough to cause extremely hard to find bugs.

Example:

.ONESHELL:

sometarget: someinput
␉BASEDIR=other_expression
␉SHELLVAR=complicated_expression
␉rm -rf $$BASEDIR/$$SHELLVAR

(obviously extreme to illustrate the point, but you get the idea.)
It's time to shorten copyright back to 50 years.
> Streaming services have already stopped publishing entire seasons, going back to the TV model of an episode a week. This is to prevent people from subscribing to a service, watching a whole season, then canceling the service.

It's as much this as it is keeping discourse alive. A week of reaction and speculation on social media is just free advertising.
> Is it because of the idea, or is it because of other factors?

Not because of the idea specifically! But I've seen in my own life and in the lives of other "microfounders" that if you're not sure about your startup idea or you don't have that much momentum going on with it (it's a new idea, you haven't thought about it much) it's much easier to abandon the idea when you hear from friends, investors, or just some random people on Twitter that this idea is not a good one and it probably won't succeed.
Even theoretically, quantum doesn't make _all_ math problems easy... Can't they just avoid the things (like factoring) that are potentially vulnerable and just use other math?
What would be a good argument against the point that we wouldn't bother teaching fractions if calculators had always existed?

Math education is worse than religion when it comes to blind adherence to tradition. A lot of kids who learn calculus in high school should be learning statistics instead, for instance. And a lot of time in engineering school is wasted on worthless analytic techniques that should be spent on numerical methods that the student will actually use. Never mind the holy wars about how linear algebra should be taught. Compared to the ferocity of these debates, fractions seem like low-hanging fruit with few arguments in their defense.

Classroom time is limited, so we need to make every minute count.
Plenty of people here don’t make that much but the sentiment is largely true. Lots of hand wringing in a thread a while back about the tragedy of paying like $14.99 so a family of 4 could watch the newest Spider-man movie I think.

Zero sympathy for the companies that seem to be burying content for tax benefits or residual avoidance, just saying the price for someone to watch video content has dropped in a pretty remarkable way, especially inflation adjusted, over the last few decades (theaters may be the exception), though people rarely “own” their copy of content these days.

My DVD collection of maybe 40 movies & shows will last as long as I don’t get rid of my PS3 but in 10 years I haven’t watched any of them.

There need to be legit competitors so the creators of new content can negotiate deals that don’t allow or incentivize the shelving of content. Currently if someone offers someone who isn’t a household name any contract to make their dream project they probably accept it with no redlining. Meanwhile John “Jim from The Office” Krasinski posted 8 episodes of maybe the dumbest, most tone deaf slop to YouTube in March of 2020 before immediately selling the “show” to Viacom and walking away.

The “golden age of TV” ended super suddenly, hopefully this is the end of the re-bundling and we’ll see another unbundling soon!
Richard was right.
Some segments and full episodes are free in the PBS Kids app on smart TVs. They appear to rotate over time, so I suspect there are rights issues involved. They may also not want to cannibalize viewing of local stations.
There were trials before they started giving them to the public.
I think other projections have been on my mental todo list for about 5 years now… one day!
I wonder how many pedophiles volunteer for this(or do content reviews for Google et al), and surreptitiously copy pictures they're intended to review.
The Tech Strategy That Thrives in a Recession
For what it is worth, I've not had a modern windows install crash on me in years. I think I had a blue screen of death perhaps once with windows 7 (I think?) and was gobsmacked to see it had a qr code and a sad smiley face! How unexpected!

On a Mac ai have had the beach all of death many times, even recently on M1 Macs.
Well, except that TFA explains what DB cursors are and why they are faster than page offsets (because they skip DB entries).
This is a sadly common corrolarry to "those who do not understand make are destined to reimplement it poorly".

I strongly suggest spending an afternoon with "recursive make considered harmful" and the gnu make manual.

I've never encountered a cmake proponent that can add trivial functionality to a cmake build in less time than it took me to learn make.

I can usually port cmake builds to make in less time than such people can debug the cmake version of the build I ported.
Matrix is an federated chat service, but it requires internet like most others. on the plus side it has its own standard and there are even tui clients.

> .DELETE_ON_ERROR is not sufficient. Some day your make process will be killed (due to a bug, OOM, kernel crash, power loss, whatever) while the recipe is running, thus having no chance to delete the broken output.

I agree, it's one reason Make itself sucks.

> I always make my recipes write to a temporary file, and then rename the temp file to the actual target

Then hopefully set the timestamp if you used some tool to generate it so it doesn't look out of date to Make. (Again, another deficiency of Make. I could list more.)

> Once you adopt this strategy, .DELETE_ON_ERROR is irrelevant.

Sure (well actually no, but that's next paragraph), but that strategy is only worth it for "serious" Makefiles. Ones you use in your work environment and all. For personal projects etc. it's not always worth the hassle of polluting the Makefile with boilerplate like that; it's much handier to put that one line.

But actually no, there's still a benefit: it saves disk space to delete incomplete output files. If your files are 4KiB you might not care, but if they're 4GiB then you might. And sure you can get around that by manually adding 'rm' in the beginning of every rule too, but why not use this instead while it's already there. It's one line and doesn't harm anything.
I think the challenge is always the stateless nature of HTTP. It's pretty hard to keep a connection to the API server that has your database cursor.

Everything else has big tradeoffs. You can make sure your rows are sortable by a specific column, but that means your searches must all be sorted by that column.

You can save the results of a search and page through it, but that's a lot of I/O.

You can not do any of the above, but then you run the risk of non-deterministic pagination (I went back and because someone added/deleted a row, that page is slightly different now). You also can't really link to it.

These things might all be fine. In my experience though, you run into people who really want to do search in way A, and will use the tradeoffs for way B/C/D to argue against it, as though A has no tradeoffs.
One advantage this has over guns is that jerk (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerk_(physics)) is lower.

I don’t know whether it makes a difference in survivability, but it seems to me that it would, at least somewhat, for some materials.

But then, what do I know? Impact resistance typically is reported in gs, but that might be a simplification because, typically, the higher order time derivatives of position correlate well with acceleration.
You pretty much just described John Sarno’s theory. I’ve also convinced myself that my pain is to prevent me from “acting out” as a result of the trauma and neglect I experienced as a child.
No, it is not a good measurement. I have cups of many sizes.
They have the significant advantage that they get pretty much free mass before the fairing opens (since more mass reduces drag and they aren't fighting the rocket equation until they are out of the atmosphere). As such they can do things like heavily brace the inside of the nozzle without it hurting their payload capacity.
The US government spends significantly more on education than the military, ~$800B on K-12 education alone. On a per student basis, the US spends more than almost any other country in the world. If US education is poor, it isn't for lack of government spending.

Per the US Department of Education[0], the US spends 34% more per student than the OECD average. At the post-secondary level, the US spends double the OECD average.

Makes sense, thank you for spelling it out for me.
Education is the opposite of a money pit, education is an investment. Even if it is managed poorly,you are better off than the country with a people that can't read.
> The philosophy of mathematics is the branch of philosophy that studies the assumptions, foundations, and implications of mathematics. It aims to understand the nature and methods of mathematics, and find out the place of mathematics in people's lives. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy_of_mathematics

Considering that the primary complaint 10th grade math students have about math is often "How is this relevant to me and my life?", wouldn't studying the philosophy of mathematics help a teacher in addressing this concern?
Former HS math teacher here. It was the hardest job I’ve ever had. I still have nightmares about being back in the classroom 18 years later. I was easily working 12+ hours a day doing class planning, grading, etc. not to mention the actual teaching. Returning to programming my pay doubled and my stress level dropped profoundly. Teacher pay should easily be double what it is.

(And about that summers off—with the exception of teachers who had non-teaching spouses or those in the back third of their career, everyone worked summer jobs to make ends meet.)

These problems are above and beyond the community's reach to be resolved.
I don't think this is always the case, and that's exactly my point.

> "those who do the silencing usually end up silencing their own critics"

I'm not even sure that this usually happens. It is certainly the case that when that happens, it is very memorable. But that's probably just a "selective attention bias" applied to History, that is, because the other cases are unremarkable.

Literally, "Think of the Children!"

Parents have claimed religious exceptions to performing recommended medical procedures and inoculations since the dawn of modern medicine, and sought out alternative treatments. The same parents who would try to cure autism by bleach injections are the same ones who would just as readily practice Mesmerism or whatever other 18th century nonsense you can think of.

The only difference is that instead of a stranger coming to town in a tent, like something out of Blood Meridian, it's some glowing words on a box.
Pensions are typically not paid based on average teacher salary, but paid based on terminal teacher salary. Defined benefit pensions are quite different from a 401k.

In our district, once you qualify for a pension you get 2% of your terminal salary per year you work. If you work for 40 years, you will be paid 80% of your last year's salary.
They are really good at it, too. Fallout 4 for just 8€? Brilliant, I've heard so much about it, let me check it out. But just 5€ more and I get all the DLC? And there's a bundle with Skyrim?

Well, doctors are mainly hovering over a laptop to justify their treatment plan to insurance companies anyway. They were not implemented because someone thought they would improve quality of care.

I have actually been using ddg for a long time but lately I have some things that I know exist which I access routinely and I just use search to get there for convenience because the site (a wiki) does not have the short/pretty url option enabled so the urls are all inconvenient.

When I search for it lately (several months at least), by it's exact, correct, unique name, ddg gives me everything in the world BUT the actual site. It gives me pages and pages of links to a mail list archive, admittedly from the same domain, and other random links that are either simply unrelated and wrong, or some that include mentions so they are relevant but should appear far down the list.

It's ridiculous.

Google produces links to the site top front center, as well as the indirect mentions further down.

It's a small community so I'm afraid to slashdot the guy but really a story like this is kind of dry without the real example, and maybe an ordinary HN entry is not so bad.

Search "bitchin100 rex" or "bitchin100 tpdd" or even just the plain exact unadulterated domain "bitchin100.com" in google, then the same thing in ddg. I don't even need to provide the correct results here for reference. the google ones will be correct or at least reasonable, as in on the first screen if not the very first non-ad result.

I'd be curious if using ddg anyone else in gets anything but a never ending scroll of Narkive links. To be fair, the mail list is also from the bitchin100.com domain, so those results are not wrong in that they should be there also, but the better-matching results are not only not first, they're not even there at all no matter how many "more" you load.

Could it be the word bitch in the name?

F-ing Microsoft, it's probably that.
Another thing to be cautious about is folks who steer your idea in a new direction towards a larger TAM (with bigger encumbents) because they don't see how the current idea can 1000X.

Sometimes, intentionally going after a market niche can be a good thing; you don't always have to set your sights on being the next unicorn. Especially if you're starting out as a solo dev, building the best product out there for a very specific audience can be a good strategy that leaves you with enough breathing room to continue to innovate and grow incrementally.

That's the general approach I've been taking with ProjectionLab.com (the personal finance simulator I've been building on the side for a year now) and thus far, it's been a fun and modestly fruitful journey.
Can someone explain this a bit further?

I understand RAM-CPU transfer is avoided, so some type of memory is brought next to CPU. RRAM is non-volatile (unlike on-chip SRAM/cache), so it’s like persistent random access flash memory.

Why flash or even some type of NVMe can’t be brought very close to CPU? Is it due to space and driver voltage requirement?

Another question: a processor is a collection of transistors. How do you organize these transistors to accelerate a particular type of computation, such as matrix multiplication versus vs basic arithmetic operations (addition and multiplication)?
I agree the new systems are overly complex, but the reason they stick is enforcement of dependencies being accurate. If someone can bolt that into make it will be a huge improvement.
Pay them more. Then while you're at it, pay police more as well. The two pillars that should keep our systems together are disgustingly underpaid...

High School Teachers earned an average salary of $67,340 in 2020. Comparable jobs earned the following average salary in 2020: Elementary School Teachers made $65,420, Middle School Teachers made $64,990, School Counselors made $62,320, and Sports Coaches made $47,100.

Then we haven't even mentioned the massive debt students rake up to be able to pay for their education and sustain their lives while studying. It's one big mess.
Author here. Thanks, but I'm using DNS-as-a-database not DNS-as-given-data.

Distinguishing feature: The command line example is using a DNS proxy to query a redis database containing netflow information.

It also utilizes DNS to query synthesized PTR records representing DNS-as-given-data (just not the data they want to give you most of the time).

DNS is the database.

Can you explain your setup a little bit. I have sling and I can record shows that are store in their cloud. however the fast forward is not exactly smooth to skip ads. most of the time Its skips a little too far ahead or too early and I end up fiddling with it going forward and backwards to be in a reasonably right spot (~5 secs before the ad finishes or after it finishes.)

1) Are there any devices available that allow recording effortlessly and then allows skipping adds equally effortlessly?

2) What are the non ad service options - Netflix, Prime Video, HBO, Youtube Premium?..what else?

There are two, again two platforms that matter for phones. That's it. "Well, it is not 1, so we can just twiddle our thumbs and ignore the problem" is not at all convincing.
