That would be asshat-y but as long as no PII is transmitted, it would stop short of being a legal issue at least.

This is the thing though I think: people don't like to give up control (in this case, about what their software does). It's not about privacy, it's about control.
> I don't think it's fair to describe the Go proxy as "calls home"; no one says that about Rubygems, PyPI, npm, or any other package tool.

The Go equivalent of `gem`, `pip`, `npm`, `apt`, `cargo`, etc, is `go get`. There's no issue with `go get` connecting to internet.

On the other hand, `go build`, `ruby`, `python`, `node`, `gcc`, `rustc`, have no business doing anything that requires the network (obviously `node` etc are interpreters, so the user's program could have networking code, but that's the user's code, and not the interpreter's code).

So, `go get` using Google's proxy by default, fine, this is Google's tooling, we can just avoid using `go get`.

But the problem is that this proxy sneakily creeps into the `go build` command as well, so you can't just "not use `go get`" because you have to set flags for the compiler as well.

So, what does matter? What is your actual statement? That you can't use errno in a multi-threaded environment? That you can't use errno in the presence of signal handlers?

What exactly is your complaint about the GNU link? As far as I can see it more or less regurgitates what POSIX has to say about async-signal-safety.

You made some vague statements that a mechanism that is used on billions of devices is fundamentally unsound, while providing no evidence other than maintaining that it would break in conjunction with signal handlers -- when signal handlers are expressly to be used with caution, no matter what you intend to touch.

If you worry that you can't safely touch errno in a signal handler (provided that you reset it) on some broken platform from decades ago, because a spec like this [0] is too much swallow (understandably so, since this spec is a futile attempt to reconcile all the relevant history into a useful document), then I have a solution... Don't touch errno in a signal handler, which is probably solid practical advice anyway.

Oh, and how do you reconcile the fact that many syscalls are declared async-safe by POSIX that may set errno themselves?

"Operations which obtain the value of errno and operations which assign a value to errno shall be async-signal-safe, provided that the signal-catching function saves the value of errno upon entry and restores it before it returns."

Tada!

There's a simpler solution: let people build. Relax zoning restrictions. If you don't constrain the housing supply, real estate will cease being a good investment. Houses should depreciate in value in time, just like cars. When this happens investors will not elbow out anyone, because there will be no investors, just like there are no investors in cars.

I'm always puzzled why the basic underlying assumption in this context is "we should have limitless exponential growth in productivity". For millennia, there was barely any growth at all and the very concept of progress was dubious.

We have only so much population growth and people can work only so many hours a day (and many prefer to work less if they can). This way of looking at GDP growth figures and then going "hey, we have technology X, so why isn't growth the same as when we were rebuilding after the last war?" seems like a category error to me. Our lives are changing at an unprecedented speed and nobody can even tell what skills will be needed in the job market a few decades into the future. Is that what "The Great Stagnation" looks like? We should be concerned with how to stabilize the economy at the high levels of prosperity we have and how to enable poorer societies to achieve the same while surviving the challenges ahead. It's pretty clear to me that computers would be a great help doing that, if we really wanted to.
You have it completely backwards with respect to taxes. The tax code heavily favors ownership over rentals because owners aren't taxed on the "rent" they would have paid to themselves.

Big rental companies exist despite tax disadvantages, not because of them.
Objectively speaking, how valuable would that information be if it were to be leaked? Random weekly aggregated and sampled machine data associated to random IPs that in most cases would no longer be yours (and that’s in the worst case that both servers were compromised or misused by an employee during a specific time window, because IP is not stored in the analytics server but temporally in a proxy to prevent abuse).

I don’t know, I’m all for privacy but people get passionate too easily the moment someone even mentions the word telemetry and I think we should focus on actual privacy issues, like analytics in the context of ads, social networks (tiktok, fb, ig…), etc.

No it isn't. It's a harmless bog standard strain of E. Coli used in every biology lab everywhere. Just making the edits in the 8 week course with all of the right materials supplied is not guaranteed. To design a set of dangerous genes would be very difficult and getting someone to manufacture the plasmids would probably set off some alarm bells. The companies that make these things aren't just blindly producing and shipping anything you ask for, and making those plasmids requires a really sophisticated lab. These kits are totally harmless and inline with what you might do in an intro course in college.
you talk about volume but does quality not matter? Unless you think these top 10 Phds are beating you in both volume and quality of research, at that point lamenting is pretty unproductive.
I don't know how people come up with the ridiculous idea that a dollar shortage somehow signals weakness as people seek substitutes.

What they fail grasp is that the participants in question have almost no dollars left to spend. They seek alternatives not because they want to get back at the dollar and screw the USA, they do it because they have no other choice. Money substitution doesn't happen for political reasons it happens because of monetary reasons. There isn't enough money.
While there definitely are issues related to zoning and (from an European POV) utterly brain-dead car centrism - the issue at hand doesn't have to do anything with car centrism, data centers these days are (in-)famous for barely requiring any employment that needs presence of employees and associated car traffic.

You seem to have a problem understanding the concept of consent.

Allow me to help you. You ask first. If the answer is no, you don't do it. If you cannot master this skill, or refuse to, you are embarking on becoming one of the most problematic demographics on Earth.

There is no excuse for not asking, and honoring the answer. Sending data is not free, and I guarantee your telemetry is not that important, neither is your vaunted sampling. All you want is to know who your Users are, and the fact is, that is fundamentally gated behind them wanting to even bother telling you.

Not if you exempt the value of the building from taxation and focus the tax exclusively on the value of the underlying land. This has been empirically demonstrated in multiple studies:

You get it "for free" if you load up the repo and check some files. That's not free at all.

In fact, loading a file by name from a Git repo is rather expensive, and is definitely not the way their CDN should be keeping things in cache (gotta load ref, uncompress and parse commit object, uncompress and read tree object(s), just to get the blob's hash. Every one of those objects is both deflated and delta-encoded.)
There is no correct take because it changes with time over one's personal development.

If you're getting more done with the limited time you have each day, you are in the productivity camp.

If you're getting more done with less time each day, you are in the efficiency camp.

If you're getting the right things done with less time each day, you're in the effectiveness camp.

I am just pointing out that this author talks about all the stuff(productivity) they accomplished in a short period of time to then talk about overestimating their ability?

If anything they are underestimating it. Imagine what they could do if they did one thing fully(efficiency) and not a handful of things partially? That's the productivity trap in my opinion.

Take it one step further, if they knew the one thing they were doing is the right thing to be doing(i.e. YouTube), they would be especially effective.
Wait do you have sources for those stories?

Good. Properties should not be investments.
But such trading based profits come out of the efforts of the trader, not the issuer of the stable coin. Money market accounts have to be securities because most of the time they do offer some yield.

If the SEC is going down this road (and I don't think they actually are - this is more aimed at the bad behavior of Binance) it means they are seriously expanding the "reasonable expectation of profits" prong of the Howey test to include assets that on their own, have no expectation of profits simply because some users of the asset could potentially gain a profit in their use. The current makeup of the judiciary is really unlikely to play along.

When I talk with friends and acquaintances who say they want to learn a language, I always tell them it will be one of the most difficult and rewarding things they will ever do. Number one, you will literally vomit out words in the beginning that make no grammatical sense and stink to high heaven in terms of language non-ability. Two, you have to break away from Duolingo. Like learning Scratch for programming, Duolingo is only going to get you better at Duolingo type games and quizzes. If you really want to learn a language, you have to invest in live practice with a native speaker. In the near future, this could become a conversational AI. For now, go find a reasonable native speaker on iTalki. Practice at least twice a week. Do not practice with friends or family as it will be frustrating for both sides. Pay someone. Third, learning a programming language compared to a human language is difficult because there is shame and embarrassment connected with messing up for most people. As you continue to vomit out your beginner language, you will eventually ascend to the intermediate level. Like L5 at Google, many of you will never make it to advanced level. I think that is quite ok. You really do not have to be able to understand live standup comedy in your chosen second language. The ability to communicate thoughts, dreams, fears, and stories will be enough. It took me about 3 years to get to that level of being able to argue politics and economics in Spanish. I freely admit my accent is gringo (never gonna be able to roll Rs) and I still make mistakes and sometimes accents make it hard to listen. You are never going to get to 100% comprehension. 80/90% depending on the situation.

Setting aside the obviously far-fetched notion of aliens, I think it is unwise to downplay the potential future impact of recent AI advances and the progress that is sure to follow.

Nuclear weapons just make bigger and more hazardous explosions. That’s obviously a big deal.

But the doomsday scenarios for AI are arguably scarier because of the current climate of unrestricted proliferation, and the potential impact on human cognition and future forms of warfare in the long term.

That also doesn’t make those doomsday scenarios likely, but the impact of such scenarios is
I think this has been done before. I’m not sure how successful it was. If you dig around in the archives I’m sure you’ll find something similar.

Yes, because a rail strike would have sent the economy into a depression. You think that's what the public wants? The government is a representation of the public and we get exactly what we voted for.

You should also note that one party in government voted to give the workers what they wanted, which would have removed the need for a strike in the first place, only to be blocked by the other party. Not all are equally to blame here.
I'm all for dogfooding, the only meaningful difference between slack and Teams to me, is the search for actual information that I know I've encountered in the past (it's easier on slack IMO), and the awesome way to interact/thread with conversations in a natural way.

You sounded like you meant it could be used to target individuals, and not just draw statistical conclusions about the software. Those are quite different things.

Does this help provide more housing? Or is it merely a justification to charge higher rents? It seems better for everyone if these houses could be torn down and replaced with multi-family units (apartments, row homes).

These homes are good investments because the area is in need of higher density and the land values will appreciate commensurate with that need. If property taxes are ratcheted up, it might make sense to just demolish the building and hold the land for its appreciation alone. Thus, further reducing housing stock and driving up rents.

Tell HN: Windows 11 update erases Linux boot entries
Yesterday I've had the misfortune of letting windows do the chunky 22H2 update, simultaneously with actually useful BIOS update. Mind you, it didn't break anything immediately.

Today, after at least two reboot cycles between windows and linux, refind gave an "Invalid loader files" error upon choosing linux. Okay, maybe windows didn't finish its update -> do more windows updates -> linux entry is completely gone.

Making low noise, highly efficient, actively cooled heat exchangers is hard. Also, even if you use ARM processors, you use a lot of them, again creating a lot of heat.

So at the end, you either need much more heat exchangers, make some noise, reduce capacity or invent better cooling tech.

So, changing the law is not enough. You need to motivate right people to innovate, too.

Also, on US; good luck trying to change their behaviors through law. This is why companies have lobbyists.

> The rebuttal you're probably going to hear about this is how this will inordinately punish the private citizen buying a second home as an investment property.

Why would it be desirable to encourage private citizens to use property as an investment? I mean, they'd perhaps need to be a one-time easing to ensure that people who have already planned their retirement around such a scheme aren't completely fucked over. But long term it seems to me that there's no downside to this being punished.

Investors are investing in existing housing because it’s an excellent investment with good returns. The primary reason it’s a good investment is because local municipalities ban the construction of most new homes despite the high demand. Low supply combined with high demand leads to increasing prices on the existing units.

A solution is to reform zoning and allow developers to build plentiful new homes, especially multi family homes near transit. The new supply will provide competition on older units, reducing price pressure on older units. That’s the beauty of new homes: even if expensive they provide competition to existing landlords.
If cities are deciding on these taxes themselves, not central government, they can adjust it dynamically until the need for rentals and the need for affordable homes balance out. They could even do it per neighbourhood.

If it never balances out - that is a sign that there are simply not enough houses, and they need to start building.
Ok, so my choice of wording is poor, but I'm not trying to do a devil's advocate take, I'm trying to talk about the breadth of the issue. What would you like to see with this? Do you think people should own second rental properties? If so, what does "a substantially higher rate" mean to you that stops investors with deep pockets from investing but not regular people? If people shouldn't own a second property, then why not flagrantly tax them? But then where do renters go?
> punish the private citizen buying a second home as an investment property

Second property should be taxed a little bit more. 3rd much more, 4th much much more etc.

> has the hell taxed out of that's going straight to the renter

That can be said about anything that has taxes on it: it goes back to punish the final consumer, but in the end it's worth trying to correct the market, be it cigarettes or homes for investment.

In term of perf/watts ratio yes. In term or reliability the jury is still out.
I personally don't want my software making any connections unprompted except if that is its primary purpose.

Updates for OSS is also often installed via a package manager so additional checks are less useful and generally unwanted. That leaves non-package distribution (e.g. Windows or portable binaries) - I think best would be to either ask during installation or ask once if the local clock is quite a bit past the release date of the current version.

Of course different people will have different opions on this.
That smells like a card-not-present transaction, for which a chargeback is much harder to defend against.

Twitter Blue as Anti-Recommendations
Yes, for sure. But if you can easily build 20 or 10 or even just 2 stories on top of it, land value decouples from housing value (not all the way, but substantially). And for most people, housing value is what really matters; land value is secondary.
