The swattings are pretty obviously a false flag made to bring negative attention to KiwiFarms. The criminal literally left a message saying "this is my KiwiFarms account btw". The media of course took this at face value because when you hate someone enough you'll believe literally anything negative about them, or at least act like you believe it.

But yes, swattings are still a pretty big deal and I suspect that someone will eventually be arrested for it! If so, and it turns out that the attack was a false flag, well... no one would care. The damage was done, and this person will probably be treated as a hero for what they did, albeit perhaps not too openly.

I ran the calculations, 6 grams an hour seems to be about 15% of a single astronaut's oxygen consumption.

The planned larger machine they talk about, about the size of a chest freezer producing 3 kilograms of oxygen an hour, should be enough for ~85 astronauts. Though I assume that's also needing to produce rocket oxidiser for the return trip.

Anyway, since there aren't any dependencies between a, b, c, and d, I would expect the two divisions to end up basically in parallel in the pipeline. So the critical path is a division and a multiplication either way. Of course that is just a guess.
Yeah, the 8bit machines I used had 16bit address space. For example from my vague/limited Z80 memories most of the 8bit registers were paired - so if you wanted a 16bit address, you used the pair. To lazy to look it up, but with the Z80 I seem to remember about 7 8bit registers and that allowed 3 pairs that could handle a 16bit value.

I wish I wasn't, but I'm 100% a night owl. My most productive time by far is between 10pm - 4am.

I think I might have some kind of mild narcolepsy because direct sunlight has always triggered a very strong and rapid sleep response for me. When I was younger I would sometimes randomly fall asleep in class and offices can be difficult if I'm sat facing a window. It's not that uncommon for me to fall asleep randomly at my desk which can be embarrassing and almost every moment in an office is a battle to stay awake.

I'm always wide awake at night though... Which is annoying because everything is closed and everyone is sleeping.

It is not so obvious at all. Medicare Advantage does not have price controls, and it still costs less per capita than Original Medicare.

> A dead simple “this is how much you’re allowed to charge”.

This has its own set of unintended consequences, including physician rationing (it's a huge crisis of the NHS right now), and a reduction of investment in new medical research. There are many good reasons to be against introducing this in the US.

Switzerland does not have price controls on medicines, treatments, etc. and the reason why it is so often cited is because it enjoys a comparable level of healthcare innovation to the US while still ensuring universal access (through its ACA-like subsidies). It also costs a lot per capita (among the highest in the OECD), but it actually gets what it pays for (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26766626/) (https://www.theweek.in/news/world/2022/05/07/7-reasons-why-s...)

In fact, of the countries that usually make up the global leaders in health/medical innovators, all but 1 (the UK) engage in price controls (https://immigrantinvest.com/insider/the-best-healthcare-coun...), and the UK's NHS is suffering from a rationing crisis, and (ironically) a cost crisis.

West coast servers having trouble with the heat wave?
rsync.net is great for this. They keep ZFS snapshots, so even though you have read/write access you will always have the snapshots stored. So you will be safe at least as long as you notice the corruption within the normal 7-day rolling window (there are options for other windows or manual snapshots too IIRC).

This should also lead to the question of how up-to-date your backups need to be and is your solution setup for that (is it 1s, 1m, 1h, 1d, etc.)? Define an actual SLA for how much data you can loose and test for that.
I just read your edit. I agree walking is probably the best possible commute type. And having lots of little decentralized places of work you can walk to is ideal. But it’s probably not scalable. Eventually you’re gonna have people who want to live in the suburbs and work downtown.

The idea of work has definitely changed but at the core, it’s about working with others to achieve a common goal. It used to be that sustenance and surviving the winter was the common goal. I’m not sure how it’s going to play out but I do think there are some advantages to being with your coworkers IRL.

> And I’m saying all commutes are both terrible and optional, and only management policy makes them necessary.

All software engineering commutes are probably optional. I’m not sure how you expect a janitor to work from home though

This is an interesting data point for sure. Is traveling by train just inherently bad or can it be improved ?

>In mathematics, variables are sometimes just placeholders substitutable by a particular expression, sometimes they establish relationships between inputs and outputs (e.g. "f(x) = x^2") and sometimes they're even objects in their own right (for example in polynomials).

So what you're saying is variables store data.

For some reason math academia absolutely failed to teach me /what/ variables are. Don't tell me to "solve for X", tell me what the bloody hell is a variable, why it's important to me, and what I can do with it. Programming told me, math academia didn't.

>Do you mean "math education", maybe, instead of "math academia"? If so, I would share your criticism, at least in part.

Math academia and education are one and the same as far as I'm concerned.

> I kind of wish they went for the matlab cell array style where a function can return an array, but it just becomes a data structured stored within a single cell.

I had a go at writing a DLL plugin for Excel that did this years ago. I ended up with a kind of SQL, where each cell has a result set of records. The purpose was to make a functional language for consultants starting with a familiar environment to them. I even integrated a system where you clicked the cell and a pop up would show the data records. It was an ugly proof-of-concept, using strings that just identified each result set, and using custom functions. Excel is beautifully functional, with some nice parallels with SQL, and your data flow/dependencies are naturally visible. Excel is far less scary to most consultants than imperative programming is. I wanted to be able to model the data flows, use sheets for consultants to define custom pure functions for our system, and the final outcome was a reactive data system where data updates could flow (push) into outputs. I failed to get it delivered because I failed to get the COM interfaces working working: I failed to tie together Excel automation as a library engine (Excel COM API), Excel custom functions (plug in DLL), Delphi 7, and my own code.
>I think you make a very good point here - if someone made a website with the exact format of KiwiFarms, but for "collecting info" on programmers who "love nazis" (in the same way that every KF thread's subject "deserves it" because of some disproportionately aggrandized sleight), all the HN users who are currently sobbing about the death of free speech would unite to say that the website should be deplatformed immediately.

No, I'd defend that website's existence.

I'm not convinced that we're getting what we pay for, or that we're funding the most important things -- no one's life is being ruined by an insufficient quantity of library books, or access to too few museums.

I'm glad we have the hetch hetchy water we do. I'm glad when the East Bay has brownouts SF often doesn't. The botanical gardens are _nice_. But again: ~$16k per head.

For comparison, I checked and Denver is presently at 2.04B for ~740k people. The _difference_ in per-capita budget between these two consolidated city-counties is _almost_ the same as a year of in-state tuition at a UC. Think about that -- people save for years to send their kids to college, and for every single resident, we're spending a sum comparable to tuition at a competitive research university.

Perhaps your way of living in the city is fundamentally different than mine, and you extract a commensurate amount of value out of the public services here. I think it indicates there must be a lot of waste.

Other things SF has:

- the highest paid mayor in the country

- an endless parade of corruption revelations that don't even feel scandalous anymore

- safe sleeping sites that cost more per tent than a 1BD apartment

So if, as the article says, the city has a 4% drop in revenues, I feel like we have a lot of non-critical stuff that we should be able to cut.

Number one is full price transparency of the whole chain. I work for a medical device company and even the marketing people can't really tell what our stuff costs. There are a ton of middlemen with obscure contracts and very high markups. My ex got one of our devices and I was told by our people that the hospital should have received the device for between 20k-30k (nobody seems to really know) and the hospital charged 80k for the device alone. They also charged another 200k for a one hour surgery with a total hospital stay of six hours.

It's also hard to explain that US patients pay a multiple of the drug price people in other parts of the world pay for the something.

Non free market? Communism. I know we’re on HN but, say the word?

Of course the US market is highly regulated and so the market is not free to lower prices. Of course the AMA is a racket. Of course needs of certificate are abhorrent.

Watch the Kherson region now - Russia has a 25K strong army on the right side of Dneper river there, and thanks to US supplied high precision missiles (HIMARS) Ukraine has practically disabled the bridges leading there, so that Russian army has only minimal supply using ferries. The railway from Crimea to those bridges and ferries had also been constantly stricken (frequently the strike would be at a large military supply train riding there)

In general, across the front, we see David vs. Goliath fight with supply logistics being the Goliath's spot that David is
targeting - Russia has 5-10x of old style un-precise artillery advantage, and their main approach is to flood Ukrainians with ocean of fire, and that requires tremendous amount of supply, while Ukraine having only about 40 of those HIMARS launchers has been methodically taking out key Russian targets among which large Russian ammo and fuel depots to the 50 miles depth (the range of those missiles) thus straining Russian supply of the frontline.

Of course it matters, losing wealth matters even if it’s not ‘crystallized’ by selling. Your options are much more limited. Fixed low rates are only helpful so long as you can maintain sufficient income which in a severe recession becomes more difficult. Additionally if the property continues to depreciate it may be wise to cut one’s losses go bankrupt and start over. Historically those who held on were bailed out in short order by the inflation of subsequent bigger bubble. The size of this recession may get too big to bail out so we could enter new territory. Or maybe we kick the can down the road again, I don’t know, but it’s a risk.

To the extent that it is a strawman, I think they've even failed to beat up on their strawman, for the reason that I point out -- the janitor would still be necessary.
