> - The officer in the training exercise that killed Officer Tipping has the same name as the officer in Tipping’s report, but they are not sure if it is the same person.

It appears you did not finish reading TFA. There was an investigation that confirmed the same officer was at the training:

"Gage could not confirm that the officer accused of rape was the officer directly engaged in the training exercise with Tipping. But he said 'our investigation indicates that yes, it was.' "

And frankly, if you don't think it's suspicious that an officer who investigated four LAPD officers raping a woman later getting killed in a freak bicycle training accident isn't suspicious, you may need to reset your baseline for what is "speculation and innuendo." What happened here was extremely suspicious. Even before considering that one of those officers charged was at the training.

(One may even wonder why a police officer accused of rape was not only still on duty, but even training other officers.)
This project looks really exciting!

I'm working on mvsqlite [1], a distributed SQLite based on FoundationDB. When doing the VFS integration I have always wanted to patch SQLite itself, but didn't because of uncertainty around correctness of the patched version...

A few features on my wishlist:

1. Asynchronous I/O. mvsqlite is currently doing its own prefetch prediction that is not very accurate. I assume higher layers in SQLite have more information that can help with better prediction.

2. Custom page allocator. SQLite internally uses a linked list to manage database pages - this causes contention on any two transactions that both allocate or free pages.

3. Random ROWID, without the `max(int64)` row trick. Sequentially increasing ROWIDs is a primary source of contention, and causes significant INSERT slowdown in my benchmark [2].

"The hypothesis is that if people are preparing for a recession then demand goes down, which pushes prices up"

This makes no sense at all. even the inverse makes no sense, if people preparing for a recession stopped buying goods, prices would go go down not up, which obviously would not cause inflation. This idiocy of saying that inflation comes from the people, and not from monetary policy, is depressing. It guarantees that governments will keep having a free pass to print as much colored paper as they want.

Knuth got annoyed at the state of mathematical publishing decades ago, and in a fit not seen since (maybe Linus and git counts) stopped what he was doing, learned enough about typesetting to become a domain expert, wrote TeX, and then resumed what he was doing.

So when he uses typesetting/printing terms, he's using them correctly.
As someone who is a total ZFS fan, I think the `zfs` and `zpool` commands are some of the best CLI commands ever made. Just immaculate. So this comment was a head scratcher for me.

> I also don't really want to become a ZFS wizard

Admittedly, ZFS on Linux may require some additional work simply because its not an upstream filesystem, but, once you're over that hump, ZFS feels like it lowers the mental burden of what to do with my filesystems?

I think the issue may be ZFS has some inherent new complexity that certain other filesystems don't have? But I'm not sure we can expect a paradigm shifting filesystem to work exactly like we've been used to, especially when it was originally developed on a different platform? It kinda sounds like you weren't used to a filesystem that does all these things? And may not have wanted any additional complexity?

And, I'd say, that happens to everyone? For example, I wanted to port an app I wrote for ZFS to btrfs[0]. At the time, it felt like such an unholy pain. With some distance, I see it was just a different way of doing things. Very few btrfs decisions with which I had intimate experience, do I now look back on and say "That's just goofy!" It's more -- that's not the choice I would have made, in light of ZFS, etc., but it's not an absurd choice?

> "what's the procedure if your motherboard dies and you need to migrate your disks to a new machine?"

If you're setup is anything like mine, I'm pretty certain you can just boot the root pool? Linux will take care of the rest? The reason you may not find an answer is because the answer is pretty similar to other filesystems?

If you have problems, rescue via a live CD[1]. Rescuing a ZFS root pool that won't boot is no joke sysadmin work (redirect all the zpool mounts, mount --bind all the other junk, and create a chroot env, do more magic...). For people, perhaps like you, that don't want the hassle, maybe it is easier elsewhere? But -- good luck!

> even when it's clearly detrimental to the user's experience

This is entirely subjective. Personally, I’ve never been bothered by the different port type. I’ve also never really known it to be a problem for friends and family.

That doesn’t mean I wouldn’t prefer USB-C for the iPhone. Just that for me it’s not been “clearly detrimental.”
Day of the week matters. I didn’t post my job postings because I didn’t look at hacker news on Saturday.
> Underneath the hood this runs on a networking protocol called "Thread"

This is correct, but potentially leaves out a level of abstraction [1]. Matter is designed to abstract away multiple networking protocols, including Thread and Wi-Fi.

Philips Hue, for example, plans to support Matter but not Thread [2].

(It is interesting, as if you go back, mtgx has been banned since 2019 because of a "personal attack" on Carmack 100% is NOT personal and that, supposedly, their views are "predictable", which, if applied fairly, would get most of us banned as we are all broken records ;P.)

Regardless, that copyright was 7-10 years originally is close but not quite right in a way that matters: it was 14 years with the ability to request a 14 year extension. (This being the same in the US law which came much later, but was originally from the Statute of Anne in the UK.)

So like, 10 is close enough to 14 and yet, not only do those 4 years feel (to me) like they matter a lot, it is arguably 28, and 7 is definitely underselling the protection they were being granted. That said, it also only applied (in the US) to books, maps, and charts, so in some sense wasn't even the same, broad concept.

The discussion of how long over time is interesting as, in a very real sense, our ability to monetize copyright quickly has increased: the Internet lets you immediately address a nationwide market, while it easily could have taken decades with nothing but (expensive to use) printing presses making materials to distribute around using (slow) horses and (for even wider distribution) boats.

These days, I almost get the impression that a lot of media companies try to make the vast majority of money off of something in the first few MONTHS and then nigh-unto discard it entirely--not even bothering to finish things for later syndication--while they move on to new content and new IP.

They are then occasionally mining their old catalogs of IP to do like, a "reboot", but I frankly feel like no one would stop making content if they lost the ability to later do that, and I also doubt that the original creators are being compensated much for that later possibility (as it is so hit and miss).
Amazon Freezes Corporate Hiring in Its Retail Business
Both Semgrep Supply Chain and govulncheck (AFAIK) are doing this work manually, for now. It would indeed be nice if the vulnerability reporting process had a way to provide metadata, but there's no real consensus on what format that data would take. We take advantage of the fact that Semgrep makes it much easier than other commercial tools (or even most linters) to write a rule quickly.

The good news is there's a natural statistical power distribution: most alerts come from few vulnerabilities in the most popular (and often large) libraries, so you get significant lift just by writing rules starting with libraries.
It doesn't explicitly support but today people work around it with one-time in-app purchases for all the functionality. Two apps I can think of doing this are Halide and Darkroom.

But yes, you can't just pay $X upfront in the App Store directly. The app makes you this offer, not the store. I agree it's not ideal.

It could be better in some of the ways HN is better. By encouraging intellectual curiosity, discouraging low effort put-downs that call everybody Hitler, etc.

That's not how it works.

Revenue is the area of the rectangle "price times volume". (Profit is "revenue minus costs".) Businesses want to maximize the area of that rectangle.

If a business thinks they can keep the area of that rectangle the same by increasing the price dimension, that will cause buyers to react by shrinking the volume dimension. That might yield the same effective area for the rectangle, but then also might not.

As an amateur grappler, I don’t find it plausible those injuries would be suffered accidentally.
Well empirically lower demand does not lead to higher prices. The hopes and dreams of sustained profits are dashed by the coercive forces of competition. It's very sad.
Fair. I get your point. My only contention is of the magnitude - imo someone 10 times better than the average developer is a unicorn. But the term gets thrown around any time someone is 'just' really good; they wrote fairly optimal code, quickly. However, to your point, there may be an argument to be made that people who have made a huge impact on the CS landscape are 10x-ers (regardless of efficiency). Is Linus a 10x-er?
In the case of SQLite it was insisted by paying members of the SQLite Consortium.
It boggles my mind that my medical insurance covers homeopathic and chiropractic treatments.

The AMD situation is even more complicated than that: you have both AMDGPU/AMDVLK and AMDGPU-Pro/AMDVLK-Pro. This exists in parallel to Mesa's RADV, so there are three Vulkan drivers for AMD for Linux.

I do believe that AMD actively supports the radeonsi Gallium driver in Mesa, so I don't think that AMDGPU ships with a custom OpenGL driver, but I'm not too sure on that.

i recall seeing something about japan and the solutions to scarcity of land.

there was a "store" , consisting of a glass display case in its place in a stack of stores. these retail outlets of roughly half a cubic yard each were arranged in a walk in gallery, approximating a mall.

i think the purchase model was a point click and ship on the webpage of the store.
Oh interesting! We wouldn’t be messing with any bits, but rather responding to dns queries. The opt out or simply setting your own dns server would mean we’re not forcing anyone to use our dns “service”.
Right. It's not even about the initial setup and provisioning. I can handle that. But what I don't want to handle is constant maintenance. I get weekly notifications of maintenance that Heroku is doing for me. I have no interest in doing these things, or hiring anyone to do them.

Actually, what's going on is the job market is waiting to collapse until I've just about finished my thesis. As soon as I really need a job, we're doomed. The problem is, the universe needs to fill in the backstory, so my unexpected delays have messed up it's ability to build the narrative. On the bright side, my laggardly pace may have fended things off until after the midterms.

I'll point out another dimension to this: it can be entirely true that Tipping's death was an accident, because the other cops at the training exercise may have "merely" intended to beat him within an inch of his life for daring to break the wall of silence.

In other words: defenses on the grounds of his death being an "accident" are not sufficient. What matters is the totality of circumstances, and those include the implicit threat of violence against any cop who dares to out the crimes of their peers.

> What is specifically wrong with the dozens of existing packaging solutions we already have?

specifically? Specifically: they are even WORSE from a security standpoint because you don't have the option of "personally verifying each line". Just because someone's stuck it in a nice easy-to-install package doesn't mean it's not a virus / malware / whatever.

are you suggesting that you read the source code of every app / tool you download before you execute it? If not, hello... pot. kettle?

Many companies do, it's generally advantageous from what I've read.

At the start you go for the slice of the market where (size of slice * price the slice will pay) is the maximum. So not the largest slice that will pay 1$ like in an app store, nor the smallest slice that will pay the luxury prices. And then once you've got that middle slice nailed down and product market fit you expend your pricing plans to account for price sensitive customers with lower prices and fewer features, and luxury customers with higher prices and more features.

Going off what I've read and a few talks I've seen, I'm not an expert.
I noted in long form above. I met my wife in a bar.

I had a primary care physician in the late 1990s that had been polling his patients on that his whole career, and said that a little more than 80% of his patients met at a bar. So there you go.

I also agree with your assessment on partners, I have had a couple that were important at the time, but looking back, where more like friends with benefits. Only two were really significant. One that tortured me emotionally and basically set me up for over sensitive warning flags for about five years, what a mess. The other one I married over 25 years ago.
It's not illegal, it's just potentially expensive.
I wonder if MEGA65 could allow for a Gopher and/or Gemini browser, since these are much simpler than web browsers. I always wonder why certain platforms, specially young alternative operating systems, don't focus first on a browser for these alternative protocols and then focus on creating a web browser than at least can render well things like Wikipedia and some basic news sites.
Which is what, in your opinion?

"Look, it's happening! The economy is going down!"

I agree this can be a self fulfilling prophecy. A lot of larger tech companies were announcing hiring freezes or restructuring months ago to get ahead of the downturn.

But I also think we could restate the quote above in ways that are actually true. For example, a lot of these posts are startups and monetary policy is slowing or shrinking the money available for VC. It makes sense that we see slower hiring. The past few years have probably been above historical VC funding levels anyways, so we may be returning to a more historical level for the next few years (or who knows?).
I happen to have seen a recording of a crowd control exercise including regular police, a riot control unit and even a SWAT-style unit, including "arrests" and "resistance", and it was a lot tamer than the description may make it sound.

A bicycle exercise for regular police spontaneously morphed into a mob control exercise spontaneously morphed into a grappling match definitely sounds fishy on its own.
I've been running it in a container on docker swarm (on a celeron 3205U—2x1.5GHz cores). My CH container stores read only data, and I periodically update the snapshot, which involves deploying a newer image. This is very straightforward but, because it's read only, I don't even need a persistent volume.

I've found the documentation to be pretty good and there's a really active telegram group where devs offer help (if you get noticed, but that's not too hard).

The worst part is that the old “stop stop play” trick doesn’t work on any devices I have that can play disks (Xbox and computers). Every time I play a disk and hit the unskippable nonsense, I’m reminded why nobody uses those things anymore.

If you have a stand alone player, however, perhaps that trick still works. Just press stop, then press stop again, then press play. It skips the warnings, pre roll stuff, menus, and just plays the movie.

The Quillette article was cited as tautological proof of how "those people" feel about the wiki entry. They don't find it convincing and are explaining the citations they feel it lacks...

The point of Wiki is to educate and that means reaching the uneducated who are going to have those nasty uninformed opinions. Even if I agreed with your assessments of the people involved I'd want to improve them, not crap on them for where they are. If Wiki is only for those who already believe the right things, why even have Wiki?

> split along communist/non-communist lines?

Why would a support for a scientific concept be split across groups by economic philosophy? Is there anything inherently capitalist or communist about these ideas or are these ideas conflated with identities?

> [IQ being] anything that could be described as 'intelligence'

That it's related at all, or that it's a perfect match? Because of course we'll always have subjective views of the definition of intelligence and no one test will satisfy everyone.

> the idea that genes impact IQ and that IQ actually usefully measures anything

Unlike intelligence, IQ is definable, stable, and correlates highly to job performance. (Of course, because the tests resemble many work-skill tasks...)

Why would IQ be the only trait that isn't genetic at all?

I have no desire to see any given racial group maligned, even with "correct" data, but I feel the discussion about genetic traits is limited for fear of this, and that this censoring falls exactly along the lines of the USA's post-slavery racial lines. To me this suggests that this is a you (the USA) problem, not an us (the rest of the anglo-sphere) problem, and that it should be treated with racial sensitivity training and honesty, not with demonization and censorship and quashing research.

Connectors are standards, plus phones do not change that often, they get marginally better but most of them have looked largely the same for a decade.

Previously there was also a long history of interoperability between Apple designs that no longer exists. And before that there was a long history of Apple being a tiny company constantly on the verge of bankruptcy. Long history is a pretty short time nowadays.
