True story. This tendency is strong in my family. I know it because I have a bus ticket I kept for nearly 60 years and a vast collection of possibly useful empty cardboard boxes, stored in other cardboard boxes.

My sister was name called into a UK "your life on the lawn" hoarder reality show by friends. By coincidence she did some minor tidying and was that day called by the show producers and the dialogue went like this:

Them: Surprise! You've been recommended to us to be on a hoarder TV show.

Her: Oh great! I've just been dusting the video tape pile

Then

Them: Oh, sorry, if you can still clean, you aren't amusing for us. Bye.

Obviously at the extreme end, It's life threatening and has major issues for everyone involved. More casual semi obsessive "I cannot easily throw things away" is rife.
My interpretation of your statement is that organizations in the US don't care about security and do the bare minimum to secure their systems, if anything at all

Sounds accurate, sadly
Not a big fan of PPP adjusted income because it’s such a hard thing to accurately measure a “equivalent basket of goods”.

It’s like the online “cost of living” calculators. I’ve found them hilariously off usually because the data isn’t great.

People saying living in the Bay Area is way more expensive. But having lived in a few US cities, it’s pretty much housing that is more and if you live like the locals (smaller homes) the cost difference is much less than you’d think.

Saying “SF has 500% higher housing costs” is silly if you’re comparing a $300,000, 2,000 sq ft single family home in the mid-west to the same single family home in SF where the homes are much smaller and much rarer.

Same with other countries - how do you compare food costs in SE Asia where buying at a local food stand is common, to the US where buying and preparing your own food at home is common?
Yes. We just can't avoid it apparently. War is just too powerful a concept.

I've been working on my site: https://golfcourse.wiki for some time, and this is exactly how I feel all the time. Thank you for the encouragement.

I know this is a good idea. I know it will help people. I know I can either monetize it long term or even have it function as a non-profit. I also know it will take many years to slowly build to the functionality and content quality that I'm aiming for. Holding onto that long term view is extremely challenging.

Most days are just watching nothing happen, or slowly, slowly adding a single course (aggregated sites litter the golf internet, I want the opposite). One day I'll post on the golf subreddit and have 1000 users, get positive feedback, and the next two weeks just 5 users per day from google. And the kicker is, I'm genuinely embarrassed by some of the sub-optimal code and real lack of functionality I haven't addressed, even though I'm honestly very regularly working on it.

The best advice i got from a friend: only look at one-month or two-month increments as far as users. Day-to-day can get depressing, but on a bi-monthly basis, I've had slow-and-steady growth. At the same time, while I'm only up to 700 commits so far (vs 2000 in the article), I do have serious anxiety that I'm wasting years of my free time building something that won't amount to anything but a couple hundred upvotes on reddit, so I look at it as my unique hobby. I like mapping courses and making course books. It's my site and my hobby, and I'm fine if it's just me doing the work alone for the rest of my life. I believe that much in the project.
This article does not suck, but it is long. In my opinion, it is very good advice: write more to learn more.
Well, I learned cursive and I can't even read most cursive text.

Actually made me think about Chinese characters. From what I know, nowadays people use simplified Chinese characters instead of the traditional ones.

I don't know Chinese but I'd imagine the traditional version to be in a similar position to cursive.
I've been making video games for a long time and while it's true they can feel unfinished for a long time, they shouldn't ever feel completely broken/disasterous/failed. One of the key things when making a video game is to make sure that it is fun and playable as early as possible into development, and when someone is grinding away working on something that isn't fun that's a pretty huge red flag to me.

I know there's probably a reason this isn't done, but: could you not create a new, worthless corporation; distribute its worthless shares to the new employee-owners; and then have this holding corp acquire EVGA, thus instantaneously inflating the value of the already-held equity to ~EVGA's share price?
I'm not attempting to refute your claim, just adding an anecdote.

I recently moved to a majority hispanic area, 80ish percent. It was a bit of culture shock for me in a lot of ways, one of which is you better have cash.

Everyone I've hired to do anything will only take cash. If you offer a check, they'll sometimes say no, sometimes say OK, but I have to add tax. Not one would accept a credit card. Plumbers, electricians, handymen, guys with 50k dollar trucks and 80k dollar skid steers.

I don't mean to intend to paint this as a solely hispanic thing, this is just the first place I've lived that functions that way. The guy who did our floor was white, and made the same demands in fact.

It occurred to me there's likely a not insignificant amount of people making 6 figures who are according to the government, below the poverty line.

Off the top of my head: Ghost of Kiev, Snake Island martyrs, Zelensky "I don't need a ride" line, Azovstal "heroes" evacuating, Mariupol hospital, Kramatorsk bomb, Putin having cancer, Ukraine bombing their own POWs, Ukraine shelling Zaporizhia nuclear power plant, old man shooting down an SU-25 with a rifle, etc.

Essentially the western media just repeats everything they hear from the Ukrainian MOD. According to an American reporter, Seth Harper, who was over their reporting on the volunteer battalion, western reporters are basically given no access so they just have to repeat everything the ministry of defense tells them. This is why we've ended up with so many ridiculously false claims printed.

> It's public land used for the purposes of facilitating transportation using private vehicles. If you think about it that way there really isn't anything different between what you described and using public land to provide thoroughfares for private vehicles.

Parked cars are hindering transport for cars and bikes. My street has cars parked on both sides and at times there is only space for travel in one direction. So two thirds of the road width is dedicated to parking and it’s not facilitating transport.
By "reactive" I mean... if the data changes, the UI does (or at least, an event is fired, and then you can drive a React render, for example, from that). In contrast, you expect to have to poll an RDBMS for updates. An MIT team recently wrote an awesome essay on the same concept (https://riffle.systems/essays/prelude/), wrapping SQLite for the purpose.

With "data store", rather than "database", I'll admit I am hedging my bets. Through one lens, this library can look more like an app-level store in a classic React sort of way. Through another (most notably the table/row/cell structure), it looks like an RDBMS. I'm not ready to go all-in and declare it's a database yet. Such nomenclature comes with Assumptions™.
It makes me angry in the same way a kid from Kentucky may say "why don't the Palestinians and Jews just get along ".

There's a whole history with parking here.

WWII Japanese-American internment camps: though done by executive order, polls show 59-93% support, so it would have passed even through ordinary processes. is it good that this extremely non-egalitarian outcome is legitimate within a democratic political system?

if “yes”, we have radically different views that probably can’t be reconciled on a HN thread (could talk about them on a different platform — check my bio).

if “no”, then i’m not sure i understand your argument.

>It seems to me this is part of a strategy to get intel and AMD

This announcement weakens EVGA's leverage since now EVGA doesn't have the NVidia option.

Also, if EVGA were willing to work with Intel, Intel would have jumped on it. Intel has a lot to gain from EVGA - EVGA could give Intel some credibility in the discrete graphics market that Intel doesn't have.

Most likely EVGA actually wants to be out of the game?
"network equipment vendor Juniper Networks argued that it might cost a large ISP "many millions of dollars" to fully deploy the BGPsec upgrade."

And what will it cost to have your network go down? It is astounding that the security problems with BGP have been known for a decade or more and still little has been done about it. But then security for many things on the internet (cameras, IoT, consumer PC's) has been more or less ignored for the same length of time. I've always wondered why, and I did research in computer security. It seemed the decision was entirely intentional (and still is as shown by the ISP's response in this article), but I never got a good explanation for why. For BGP I heard that the ISP's could handle problems manually, but if an attack is automated or a peers (or many many peers) BGP routing goes haywire what happens then? What happens if every network connected camera starts offering new routes? What if network engineers are blackmailed? What if ransomware takes BGP routers offline? Is the government overstepping here or are there large real risks?
That might be true, but I know for a fact it’s a truism that doctors tell women to not feel as bad about miscarriages.

My wife has had multiple miscarriages, to the point where it’s expected. Until doctors are informed of her history, they always say “the embryo wasn’t healthy enough to survive on its own …”

My wife has a number of hormonal issues, but doctors can’t find a single diagnosis.

But it’s certainly not weak embryos.

Yes, one imminent idea I have is to codegen a .d.ts from an explicit schema (or even implied, from populated data). One might even be able to produce typed functions like `setPetsPrice(petId, price: number)` instead of `setCell('pets', petId, 'price', value: any)`.

Sort of an ORM trope, but hey, why not!

> AMD are the ones who are really fucked; their cards suck, and nobody bought them out of choice but desperation. Now that the market is glutted, people will heavily prefer nvidia cards.

I bought only AMD equipment for the last few years out of despise for the market manipulation by Intel/nVidia (see Intel x86 compiler/nVidia GameWorks, both not optimizing for their equipment but deoptimizing for competitors), and I have gotten completely adequate gear for the price paid. Not so much despair here.
Aaaaaaaaaaa! Can we unite as one race and say that popup box in the middle of the page sucks!? Took me a while until I was forced to actually read it to dismiss it.

For twilio, I disagree, but, I am sure they will argue it isn't unequal treatment since hiring can also be done based on race (equity vs equality, reverse affirmative action??). Obviously making reparations by artificially harming others based on race is really fucked up. But I suspect like most corporate diversity crap it is calculated to make the right people happy and make profit.

> nothing in the standard permits floating point types to be used this way. NaN boxing fundamentally relies upon undefined behavior.

What do you mean? memcpy from bytes to a NaN should work fine, and there's also a "nan" function that can take a number to insert into the NaN payload.

There are certainly implementation-defined aspects, but all of floating point is implementation defined. As long as you can get a number back out, you can make it into an integer and cast back to a pointer on 98% of platforms.

I’d really I like to know how they store data from a wide variety of sources for 15 years.

No, there are no dependencies. It has its own in-memory data structure, and ways to serialize it to other, more persistent, formats. I could imagine an option for more fully fledged RDBMSs being those persistence layers though.

The methods you speak of cost more (in labor) for EVGA. EVGA honoring their pre-Brexit policy and not moving mountains is well within their rights.

It is your country's fault that Brexit happened, not EVGA's. EVGA did what they were supposed to—replace your GPU. You choose to stay in England, as an immigrant, meaning that while you may not like Brexit, you consent to the country's laws.

100% agreed. Stipulated, countries can do anything they like to people who ask to enter. Basic respect for the property, civil liberties, dignity and universal human rights of people petitioning to enter the country, though, is not tantamount to 'completely open borders'. I think we can all agree that even if there are not legal constraints on the indignities and rights violations which a border entry officer can subject an applicant to, there should be some ethical ones.

The danger at the border is that a person might be admitted who is not who they say they are, that they might bring with them some goods that shouldn't be brought in to the country, or that they might be planning to do something that exceeds the terms of their entry visa, or is otherwise undesirable. That last case is the tricky one, because it amounts to trying to detect a thoughtcrime.

Of course if you're trying to prevent thoughtcrimes, it would be useful to see into all of a person's relationships, private communications, and online activities. But we have to draw a line somewhere for what information it is acceptable for border agents to acquire to render their judgements. And even if we allow that accessing electronic devices at the border helps with that determination of 'intent' at the moment of entry, keeping all that data (not just the subset that was evaluated as relevant to the judgement) for years beyond that determination seems completely unnecessary.

And it's not necessary, because we all know that if you allow a border agent to search someone's phone, they can find a reason to prevent entry. But that's unnecessary, because a border agent can already deny entry for essentially any reason they like. There's no need to have access to a phone to generate pretext. But the difference between 'Access denied' with a note on the file to the effect that they thought the answers you gave to their questions were inadequate, versus 'access denied' with a complete copy of your digital identity attached to the file and a flag pointing at a set of facebook messages you exchanged a few years ago.... is pretty vast.
