There should be an IOCTL to trigger an EOF condition on a PTY (even if it is in raw mode). So (once the input buffer is empty), read() calls on the client side will just return 0 instead of blocking.

That requires code changes to the Linux (or whatever other OS you are using) kernel. An approach without any kernel code changes, for Linux, would be to use CUSE to implement a user-space character device. (FreeBSD has a CUSE too, although apparently its implementation is not very compatible with the Linux one). Note you can't actually create a custom tty using CUSE – it doesn't support registering its devices with the tty subsystem – but you can create a device which implements (yourself) enough of the TTY IOCTLs to trick other programs into thinking it is a TTY. (isatty() calls tcgetattr() which calls ioctl(TCGETS), so implementing that IOCTL is enough to convince most programs you are a TTY.)

Is access to money to pay for Twitter, Starlink and cryptocurrency not considered censorship of those unable to afford it?
> it is technically used as a fuel that you need to keep "energising"

No. The lithium is the fuel tank, not the fuel.
The good news: the more dumb decisions he makes for Twitter, the fewer dumb decisions he makes for Tesla (assuming that he has cut his decision-rate at Tesla in half).
well, one very important piece of the puzzle is that the US is very rich, but very unevenly (income and wealth inequality), and the US spending on services compared to disposable income is not that high.

another important piece is diminishing returns. the US leads in healthcare spending, but that also means that it suffers the most from diminishing returns.

then there's the Baumol effect too (increase in wages [due to productivity increase] in one sector pushes up wages in other sectors - especially when unemployment is low), which explains some part of the cost increases.

and of course both healthcare and education (and construction) are labor intensive sectors with almost no mass production. (prefab housing would help, but there's just not enough density for that)

the US is very credentialist, which (plus the aforementioned inequalities) push up the value of a "good education", so people pay a lot for it.

and finally, healthcare in developed countries is very much determined by environment ("lifestyle"). many people work their asses off, sit in traffic, live near pollution sources, become obese/ill, spend a lot on insulin/meds, and then get into bankruptcy at the end of their lives, and no amount of direct healthcare spending can help with that.

2500 amps? I don't think liquid cooling is enough to allow for that.

You are probably thinking of the megawatt charger for the semi, which is different.

A regular V3 supercharger caps out at 250kW. There are rumors that the V4 might get closer to 400kW, but as far as I know those remain rumors. There's also a rumor of an upgrade of V3 superchargers to about 325kW, which would at least be getting close to CCS1.

I don’t think the original commenter said anything about “automatic”. That’s more of a subjective decision—whether or not you manually bubble up an error, or it just floats up because of the exception handler.

Empirically, java code has had terrible error handling, because people just stick one catch statement at the root of their program. Go atleast confronts you with the error at every step.

Blockchain allows you to to trace every transaction to its source and prevent double spend, if it is public. It does not have to be decentralized though, can be a closed system where every node has to go through a certification.

I assume that a certified mining facility would be closely watched to ensure that the amount of lithium they mine matches what the sign for in transactions. And on the output, battery manufacturers are required only buy lithium they can trace to a certified mine and sign every device the make, including how much lithium it contains.

If the ledger is public, anyone can verify that input=output + balance. It is not going to be decentralized, but it can be publicly verifiable.
I'm not a recruiter, but my company is currently hiring, and it's _tough_. The top talent goes to FAANG (that's still hiring) and the talent after that goes to interesting startups. We're a boring but successful company. Of the 70 applicants in our initial wave, we found 3 who mostly met the qualifications, two of whom cancelled their interviews thirty minutes prior.

I have a few inferences here. There's a lot of talent in the pool right now, but A. They're being scooped up by more attractive companies B. They're not feeling desperate enough to work at a boring company. Both of those would indicate that people are still hiring, and they're hiring for desirable roles.

There's a lot of gloom and doom at the big tech companies right now, but it doesn't appear to reflect the state of the entire industry.

Re: running out of money in the current macro climate
I was listening to Pink Floyd's Momentary Lapse of Reason just a moment ago and my son asks, "Is that some kind of cheap knockoff of The Wall?" and I said "It's the same band!"

It is very interesting but sometimes sad to see bands constrained by the limits of their own creativity as well as the expectations of their fans. People still pay to hear Stevie Nicks sell Fleetwood Mac songs out of tune, Elton John has been on his last farewell turn I don't know how many times now, but one thing they all have in common is that the fans will boo, tear down the stadium, and leave if they play anything new.
Yes but one can still sympathize.

I want to activate this life hack I do but in an easier way: when I'm dealing with a person who gets monetary gain for upselling me, how about I hand them that amount and get straight talk from then on? 1% commission on my $1,000 mattress? Here's 10 bucks now gimme the real skinny, see?!
Right, but it isn’t personal. (I mean it is, and it isn’t) This _is_ the free speech that so many people want, it’s not to build a better world, it’s to fuck with each other. This is why people told him to move slowly and Twitter had so many employees trying to figure out possible negative consequences of their actions.

In a sense, the astronomical definition of winter has a lot more meaning in a connected world. I grew up in a part of Canada where the (colloquial) winter started at the end of October and ended at the end of March. I now live in a part of the country where it starts in late December and runs until the end of April. If you're trying to convey time by saying that something happened last winter, different people are going to have very different ideas of when that means.

Then again, perhaps we shouldn't be discussing time in terms of the seasons. Anyone in the southern hemisphere experiences the opposite, while people living in equatorial regions don't really share our notions of seasons (from my understanding).

Dunno. It may be a defensive IP thing where it’s cheaper to spend $300k on the TLD than to litigate domain name versus TLD against someone who sets up cars.bestbuy and shoes.bestbuy and stuff.

Does Best Buy’s trademark for retail extend to all categories? Maybe? But consider that booking.com spent millions and took years to get the Supreme Court to decide that “booking.com” is trademarkable, where “booking” is not.

I would say two things were equally wrong in the OPs anecdote: one person was offensive, and one person was offended. While it seems just to entirely blame the offensive person, ego is a thing not good and taking offense is a choice. Unless physically striking someone, it is not possible to hurt someone's feelings. Feelings are important, no doubt, but feelings are entirely the responsibility of the feeler. One may have to think about where feelings come from and how they are actually caused to realize this. Every individual is responsible for their own actions and themselves, for their own body, and for their own body's releases of their own hormones, adrenaline, noradrenaline, cortisol, or whatever it is that is the actual functional cause of the feelings. Taking offense is just as bad as offending. Humility, ducks back, this is ideally what should occur when someone is offensive, but... of course, people should not be offensive, either, they should be kind and empathetic. No one is perfect, but if they have two cheeks, one always has the opportunity to emulate perfection. A lot of people are rude jerks sometimes, but rather than taking offense, we can choose to be awesome instead.

> Types are your data structures

Is this true? I understand types are abstract, while data structures are concrete.

Like, the type...

x -> a x y -> z y

...tells me nothing. But that is, among many things, the type for a hash map lookup. Still, a hash map is a particular implementation, and the type alone doesn't capture this – it could mislead me into thinking any implementation that fits this shape is fine.

“ID and Selfie” – Improving digital identity verification using AWS
Tip for young players: "lithium ion" means NMC chemistry. If it's LFP, it will be called LFP.

Uncle Toby says lithium ion, so it's not LFP. He talks about a year old Tesla fire, so that was NMC, not LFP.
I simply prefer :

[ a

, b

, c

]

because, I think this is as 'uniform" as it gets. All syntactic separators are in the first column. Thus they are all uniformly in the same column. Line 1 has the syntactic separator '[' which means start-of-array. Lines 2 and 3 have ',' as the syntactic separator which means element-separator. And line 4 has the final syntactic marker which means "end of Array".

All elements of the array start at the same column, uniformly. And all syntactic separators are in the same column also uniformly.
>Like, we can't yet have Fortnite that's 3000 players.

Interestingly EVE online (the only true MMORPG in IMHO) can have player battles that large. Typically they get TimeDilation™ applied, which means that the game actually slows down so the server can handle it on a given node. However, this would be utterly vomit inducing for VR.

That said, the main trade hub (Jita) always has about a thousand players on it at any given time. Though the vast majority of those will probably be docked, there can easily be a few hundred in system at once actively flying around.

I think a few hundred player VR game is plausible with today's tech.
Yes it is. His position and influence does not preclude him from having spats on Twitter, that are obviously going to be taken less seriously than communications in other contexts.

His behavior in the spat did reflect badly on him, but considering the kind of behavior that is regularly ignored and forgiven from celebrities still in the good graces of the social justice crowd, the insistence that it should lead to his social ostracization is insincere, and motivated by an ulterior agenda.

Re the use of "ROM", it seems like I used a bad colloquialism rather than a technical term but you make a good point that " aftermarket OS" is a clearer term. Thanks for the suggestion there, I'll do that moving forward.

Re: your response to point 3, I appreciate that engaging with trolls and other harassment is not fun for the person being targeted, so my comment here is not actually targeted at you specifically, but anyone in Graphene willing to help here. Here is what I mean specifically:

Your provided examples are definitely better than the chatlog situation but there is still something that I would like to see different if possible. In each of your examples in your text block, you potentially provide with something I would call documentation, but the format is transient. There is no direct quote and no link.

More explicitly, there is a verbal reference to posts by @maxtannahill (I quickly browsed his twitter but just saw crypto nonsense), but missing are a direct quote with link to the tweets he made. The direct quote means he cannot delete the tweet and delete the wrongdoing, and the link provides a way for third parties to verify claims.

For example, this might look like e.g. "strcat did so and so"[1]. Then in the references section - [1] - quote pulled from https://URLofSpecificTweetInQuestion. Again, it wouldn't be something I'd ask you to do because if it is targeting you in particular, that would be somewhat confronting.

The same issue exists for the harassment you mentioned in this thread. There is a deleted comment by joemazerino, whom I assume is the harasser you are mentioning, and his replies are vague as fuck and slightly hostile (which is suspicious) but his post is deleted so its hard to come into it "fresh". A preemptive direct quote and link in situations like this is ideal.

Re: 5 I think I may have made an error that I need to correct. Based on the sandbox model, does that mean that, other than install and updates, the sandboxed playstore apps are just as private as the Aurora offering?

Thanks, that was great. I loved the “yeah theoretically it should have a market cap of $0 but empirically it’s more” (paraphrasing)
the key that they seem to delight in not telling you is that the 100M debt also came with 100M in assets - you borrowed 100M cash (an asset you now have) and promise to give it back later (a liability you now also have). Apart from those offsetting 100M entries on your books, you also have 10M other assets.

so you may have started with 10M - then you borrowed (and promise to repay) 100M more. there's your 1:10 (10:100) ratio.

OnShape is amazing. Solidworks paradigm, not surprising because the founders are ex-solidworks. Just beautifully done web app, works great on iPad and everything.

And a really nice community-driven plugin capability. From hex infill for 3D printing to mesh deformation, there’s probably a plug-in. And the assemblies and modeling are very nice.

For top-down parametric design I don’t think you can do better.

I’ve got no connection to onshape other than having used it for years, for probably hundreds of models. Love it.
