I agree.

> He got away with paedophilia for decades because no one would publicly call him out on it.

His victims made allegations against him as far back as 1963 and were told by the police to "forget about it", "move on", and that they "could be arrested for making such allegations" [1] and he did in fact take legal action against the people who "publicly called him out". A member of the Sex Pistols brought it up during a BBC interview in the 1970s and that part was cut. A stand-up comedian apparently had a bit about him being a pedophile in the 1980s and the recordings were suppressed out of fear of being sued. Given the protection being afforded him by the BBC, police, and English libel law, what more did you expect people to try?

> The judges need to be named and investigated.

Absolutely. But establishing processes to do so is the responsibility of the judiciary, not the victims.

The same is true in other organizations. My experience has been that the vast majority of people default to using the proper channels to resolve issues. It's only after the proper channels have been exhausted or have previously demonstrated their ineffectiveness that individuals resort to things like private warnings and rumors. So if you find that a large number of people in an organization or society are instead choosing to pass along private warnings (for sexual assault, abusive managers, toxic projects, illegal behavior, insider trading, bribery, etc) instead of reporting these things through the proper channels then the most likely explanation is that they are responding rationally to a failed organization.

No. I refuse to allow such a reality to manifest itself.

If I researched the political alignment of all the developers of the software I want to use and only choose software made by developers whose politics sufficiently align with mine, I'd never be able to get anything done.

Better title: "why are US urban rail projects so costly?"

The subject is way more niche than "transit". A big part of it is economies of scale. Europe, and other developed parts of the world also built a lot more urban passenger rail per mile.

Now compare the cost of US freight rail - something the US does build and operate at scale - and it's much more competitive. Costs are often under $1M a mile, depending on factors like load, ground leveling, etc.

Countries are better at the types of transit they build the most, and the US doesn't use a lot of urban light rail.
I find all of it so fascinating. I wrote up Wasendorf’s story just now, mostly out of curiosity: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33565992

Stories like that are really interesting to dig into. They all seem to get caught because the world changes (audits happening via internet in Wasendorf’s case, the economy imploding and sinking Alameda’s risky investments, etc) rather than from any particular mistake. The mistake always seems to be that they started cheating in the first place, and then it was just a matter of time.

Of course, we only hear about the ones who were caught. It makes you wonder how many stories like this were swept under the rug — if Alameda had made money instead of losing it, FTX would probably still be online, even though they’d still be committing the same large scale fraud.

Anyway, thanks again for all this, and especially for all the detail you put in. (Your comment pointing out that SBF is firmly under the SEC’s jurisdiction was wonderful.)

I don't see it as either/or, choices are good, and if Twitter rights the ship before it becomes a hellscape I'm sure many people will continue to use it as a primary platform. Ideally, Fediverse will have established mind share so more people consider it as another channel for engagement, just as people have multple Twitter/Instagram/Tiktok presences.

Thanks, that's is interesting background. From my pty experience, though, the answer is a bit unsatisfying. One reason is that I thought ^D generated an EOF in the terminal. For instance, if I use `wc` in the terminal, it reads from STDIN until I use ^D and then I get the output. Another reason is that it seems like a bug in the program to not respond to EOF. At the very least, unbuffer could offer an option? Anyway, I digress...

The PTY interface in general feels a bit lacking. Normally, if you use a pipe, you can close to write end of the pipe to generate an EOF. With pseudo-terminals, you only have one file descriptor for writing input and reading output so you can't have the system generate an EOF without disabling your ability to read the output.

If you haven't visited the Great Lakes, it can be hard to fathom how vast they are. They are really more like inland seas than lakes. At its deepest point, Lake Superior is about 1300ft deep, and edge-to-edge it measures about 350 miles across. If Lake Superior were drained, it could cover the entirety of North and South America with a foot of freshwater.

The northwestern coast of Michigan and the Upper Peninsula that bounds Lake Superior is absolutely worth a trip if you haven't been there.

> NACS vehicles outnumber CCS two-to-one, and Tesla's Supercharging network has 60% more NACS posts than all the CCS-equipped networks combined.

In the US and Canada there are 17,169 Tesla DC fast charge ports and 11,293 CCS ports. If Tesla plug cars outnumber CCS cars two-to-one then the port to car ratio is better on CCS:

https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/electricity_locations.html#/an...

Tesla previously claimed that their plug design was already "open", but now apparently the claim is it's "open for real this time". The only reason for them to do this now is to qualify for US government subsidies without building open infrastructure on a common plug standard.

Tesla should simply put a CCS port on their North American cars and be done with it. The European Teslas are better cars purely because they have a CCS port and can charge on all CCS networks without having to carry around adapters and dongles.

I'll look into that story. That's exactly what I'm thinking. My employer has a lot of house-made tools that they would rather get from a 3rd party - so they can pay for a reasonably-priced support contract and then not have to deal with the upkeep. They really don't want to be in the business of making software, they want to be in the business of providing high-value services to their clients (who will never directly use any of the software).

> and allowing CCS cars to charge at Superchargers.

I'm reading the announcement differently. They are saying future non Teslas who adopt NACS can use the Tesla chargers. It doesn't say anything about current CCS cars being able to use Tesla charging.
This reminds me of people saying that downloading YouTube videos is illegal... even though they need to make them freely available and you need to download them to your hard drive and make copies into RAM and/or VRAM to watch them in the first place.

Lisp programmers usually use the term "REPL" closer to its original form. read, eval, print, loop are primitives in Lisps. They consider what other languages call a "REPL" to be interpreters or mere command-line interactive interfaces.

Programmers in other languages usually suffice to calling an interactive interface a REPL.

Make sure to check the value of `undo-limit`, as the low default value greatly (and needlessly, on modern machines) nerfs undo. It also applies to extensions like undo-tree and vundo I believe.

Speaking of extensions, I find undo-tree pretty buggy. I might be one of a dozen people who actually love the default undo/redo mechanism.
Also, Mastodon needs a better handle on its "range" of scale: a lot of the core contributors of Mastodon get focused on the performance of the two massive "flagship" instances (mastodon.social/mastodon.online). Those have far different scaling needs than most of the smaller instances and sometimes the admin work needed for smaller instances gets overlooked because the "flagship" scale handles it just fine.
