It's not just that they are unaffordable. My wife and I have two cars between us and live in the suburbs. We're concerned about climate change and trying to find ways to contribute to the problem less, so we try to drive less.

In doing that, though, I've discovered that cars are kind of miserable! Walking, biking, and riding the train are all much more pleasant ways of getting from one place to another. I feel more engaged with the world around me and more active.
I also have a little kid and feel much more concerned these days about car crashes (with cars, but especially with pedestrians).

So with all that, we're trying to form a plan to move to a larger city that prioritizes other forms of transit over cars. It'll be more expensive. Although maybe it'll all even out if we stop driving?
I would think that the argument could be made that, if the commute is not necessary for the job, but the commute is required by the employer, then the commute should be considered part of the hours worked.

If you have a 2-hour commute to work, and a 2.5 hour commute after work, then you should only work 3.5 hours that day, with the remaining time being the 4.5 hours that you are forced to make an unnecessary commute.

It would be a nice way for companies to evaluate whether or not you actually need to be in a specific location in order to do your job.

Of course, companies wouldn't like it... it would have to be mandated either by law or by union. But I can dream, can't I?

There are two things: SysV IPC and POSIX IPC, both of which have message queues. In the SysV case this feature probably made sense because it was designed at a time when BSD sockets were not yet the universaly accepted API. POSIX equivalent probably exists mostly for completeness.

One might say that the whole of POSIX IPC is simply SysV IPC with sane and "unix-like" API (ie. names instead of "IPC keys").

One of the problems with POSIX IPC is that you cannot really use it if you want to be portable, because on BSD and derived systems the implementation is best described as also existing only for completeness.
I see lots of similarities between the (newer) Postgres wait analysis logging/views and Oracle AWR/ASH. I suspect it was heavily inspired.
> Why do we let kids use this again?

I don't, no matter how much they ask. The most I've acquiesced to is a small amount of YouTube time per day. It gets harder the older they get. My daughter can now just use her school laptop (while at school, at least) to watch as much YouTube as she can find time for. I'm not real happy about it, but part of raising kids is learning to accept the steady transfer of their autonomy over to them. I just keep gently harping on how low quality this kind of content is, what the motivations behind it are, etc.
Maybe the fact that I can't grasp why you'd watch your tiktok feed explains why I'd really enjoy my own.

Mastodon: A New Hope for Social Networking
Because conversations can and should (sometimes) meander off on tangents. As interested and engaged people, we should not only always confine ourselves to the topic at hand, but wonder about patterns and parallels and what they can teach us. "Hey, I've noticed that a lot of these critical blog posts often show a lack of self-awareness about ones own failings or contributions to the problem. I wonder if this is a psychological pattern that we should be aware of in ourselves?".

To return to the implicit point that helicalmix appears to be making - timmg was not saying that "a lack of self-awareness makes this post invalid" (in fact, they specifically led with "This is a good article and it does a nice job of explaining some of the problems at Google") - it was acknowledging the quality of the article, and then using the form of the article as a jumping-off point to a related observation.

A conversation which remains laser-focused on one particular topic at the expense of all others is (sometimes!) helpful in narrow technical domains - but expanding to broader context is usually more interesting and more illuminating.
> We worked with IT to get a videoconference setup going where we could all hang out on Chime together for hours and hours through the workday

Something like this might actually make remote work bearable to me, but the feeling I get is that this is not what most remote workers want. Am I wrong?
> I'm making the argument that all brands of EV charging network should charge all brands of EV. Anything less is backward, primitive, and simply dumb infrastructure.

Okay but this is a theoretical statement and doesn't really jive with the current existing environment. This is a goal, not a method to achieve it.
This is one of those things that I've always been too scared to ask so I'm just going to ask it now: Is there a distro designed exclusively for running docker (and perhaps other) containers that also contains a friendly web UI for people who have no idea how docker actually works?

I'm familiar with Proxmox, but it doesn't natively support docker.
They also had a similar response to Telegram banning their bot: Each user gets their own personal Telegram bot.
No. Part of the reasoning provided by the judge as to why the sanctions were limited was that the plantif's own efforts could not determine which of the deletions by the defendants were manual or automatic.
I've run into similar issues and found that the `thiserror` crate (https://crates.io/crates/thiserror) combined w/ anyhow makes a lot of that pain go away
You don't have to look that far for proof, there are plenty of people who made videos complaining about how they don't get good views anymore, they aren't pushed out anymore. Search "why isn't my tiktok account being pushed anymore" and you'll find similar outcry on various forums. You see it by scrolling through their profile enough, they go from 300k views and 50k likes to 1k views and 100 likes. Massive drops, where they haven't reached "self-sustaining" status yet like a Selena Gomez account.

Also as another potential source of proof, tiktok is really effective at pushing alt pages to people's FYP. Which is interesting because their old account will stagnate, but their alts will get pushed quite aggressively despite the content being very similar. So obviously it's not a content issue, tiktok is evaluating them equally and thinking you'll like it, but their old account(s) don't show up as much anymore.

Tiktok isn't as overtly aggressive with this method though, it seems like there's a cooldown period of sorts where it might start pushing you out again if you remain committed to the platform. Still, it's severe enough for people to make note of it and feel seriously demoralized by it.

The contents of the will aren’t public but there’s been uncontested reporting that it calls for everything he owned to be liquidated.

> The alternative to majority rule is tyranny of the minority

That's one alternative, but not the only one. Another alternative is for the government to not have the power to tyrannize in the first place. As the saying goes, the problem is not that politicians can be bought but that they have something valuable to sell.

> the majority of the country wants universal healthcare and legalized cannabis

I don't think this is true. I think vocal minorities want these things.
I dont think you've made your case very clearly for anyone. And you'be accused a lot of people of being difficult & problematic. Without having tried to make yourself understood.

I like a bunch of the gist of what you are saying, but I feel like most capitalism is bad capitalism, that the short-sightedness's prevalence is almost always outrageous & deserves the hate it attracts.

Organizations have extremely short reward loops. People come and go & dont try to do the right thing for next year, much less the next 5 years. Markets & investors punish poor quarterly reports. Maybe there's an idealized version of capital where folks can play it smart, but it doesnt seem to be happening on this planet.
This is reductionist. Why does anyone want you to click ads? Because they want you to see what they shared with the world. The best minds are trying to get people to pay attention to those who wish to pay for that.

A video game programmer might sat.. "all of the best minds are working on silly games" Why are so many bright minds wasting trying to get us into space when we have problems that need to be solved here.

The best minds solving problems is only part of any solution anyways. You need the best salesmen, best leader and right moment to bring in change that mat make lives better.
It was optional, you could keep your camera off or not join ever if you wanted. When I was remote, I usually didn't join and just kept in touch on Chime text rooms unless my tasks that day needed a higher level of coordination.

I doubt it. People were going stir crazy, and it was really, really hard to keep people home or masked in public.

Most likely people would have decided they were going to live their lives, and then we'd see a lot more elderly people pass from it.

I remember some lady barging through my door the day after Halloween, without a mask, because she had to give my kids treats.
It does not. However, a phone can be located using almost any computerized device, from another phone, a computer, or a smart speaker. Heck, you can even walk around yelling "hey google/siri, find my phone!" and the phone itself will pick it up.

Mutual respect for the public space is key. This is what I mean when I think about high trust environment. Basic example: that computer room full of nice iMacs. How many cases of theft or vandalism would it take for the school to shut it down? At first, it would be forced to surveil and severely limit its access (higher upkeep cost). But if the students kept stealing or smashing the equipment, eventually the computer room would be no more. And good luck having a wood/autoshop in some areas: that's begging for a lawsuit after someone ends up misusing the tools or straight dead. Now expand this reasoning to everything you see on this video. It's no wonder schools in bad neighborhoods end up costing more than schools like CHS.
A good heuristic to consider when designing composite types is whether any part of the type would lead to redundant storage. For example, a currency composite type might consist of an amount field and a type field.

In most cases, a single invoice, order, deal, etc. is unlikely to be generated using multiple currencies. Therefore, a single currency_type field in the invoice table would be sufficient.

If we used a composite currency type, the currency_type field would be highly redundant.
I wonder if they're looking to hire the kinds of people for whom having a vanity domain name like that would be a major deciding factor.

But a different sort of influencing. I'm not trying to make anyone take a particular action.
I agree that team cohesion, manager skill, and domain experience are significantly more important factors to the success of a project than physical proximity. A bunch of random people dumped into the same room will not outperform an experienced remote team. But that is not sufficient evidence that proximity is not a contributing factor.

To be more explicit: all else being equal (i.e. similar cohesion, skill, experience), teams that work together in a dedicated room seem to outperform expectations compared to similar teams that are spread across an open office or working remotely.

(Personally I did not notice anything close to the "doubling of productivity" claimed in the paper above, but it was sufficient to be noticeable even with a small sample size.)
No. But most apple users have several apple devices before they get AirTags, and one apple device can find another. You can ask Siri to ping your phone, you can use FindMy on a different device to ping your phone, and you can use a button on the Apple Watch (on your wrist already) to ping your phone.
Very cool!

And yeah while I've had similar experiences, I'm glad to hear that it's so good for others. And, for example, sccache isn't something I have much experience with, so repeatedly hearing "it works well" is nice.

They deliberately ignore established scientific consensus with regards to the biological and physical differences between men and women. That’s why they say “men can get pregnant!” and insist that MtF transgenders should compete in women’s sports. They have eroded definitions of terms like “gender” which used to be synonymous with “sex” to push a narrative, and silenced physicians/pediatricians who (correctly) voice observations that the hormone-altering drugs given to children sterilizes them.
Climate change is another issue. No democrat had ever been able to demonstrate in a manner which its falsehood could can be verified, the degree to which human activity contributes to climate change (e.g. is it 2%? 5%? 50%?). Even though there’s a large push to “go green” and tear down the foundation to our modern infrastructure and energies (coal, petroleum, and gas). Just now there’s been a large push to ban gas stoves as an element to “combat climate change” despite the insignificant contribution to the global-warming pie chart.

There’s a lot more, and there’s a lot that the republicans & democrats are both guilty of (e.g. the suppression of studies of cognitive abilities between the races e.g. the gaussian distributions of IQ, despite IQs being comparably reliable in predicting academic success, job performance, career potential and creativity). They like to say “race is skin deep”, while ignoring the fact that even children of mixed-race parents cannot accept a bone-marrow transplant from their own parents - it will be rejected. It literally goes further than bone deep. These are just a handful of observations anyone can verify for themselves.

> However, there's an entire additional dimension missing from this discussion so far - latency. When paired with original game hardware up until the 16-bit era or so, CRTs offer close to a true zero latency experience.

It's hard to even match the input latency and general responsiveness of an NES hooked to a CRT TV with a composite cable with modern hardware, let alone something more-integrated.

My usual test is "is it very, very hard to get past Piston Honda on Punch Out?" Often, with an initial, naive set-up, it's nearly impossible. Get it dialed in a little and he becomes easy (if you spent like a billion hours playing that game as a kid, anyway). But with many display + computer + controller combos it's just impossible to get it close enough to right, no matter how you tune it.

That's my test because it's really easy to tell if the latency is bad, but if it is I'll find myself falling off things constantly in Mario, too, it's just harder to tell if I'm playing poorly or if the system's the problem. The NES is hard enough, add just a little latency and it's hellish.

Interesting note; the NYT profile linked in this article (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/07/us/defund-police-seattle-...) was by Nellie Bowles. She left NYT in Nov 2021 and revealed that she was bullied to leave. Articles that went against the NYT grain like these probably were the main cause. BTW, a similar bullying is underway on the topic of trans care, see this letter by NYT staff targeting a small group of journalists: https://nytletter.com/

Interesting fact about Bowles that’s relevant to HN: Years ago she did a profile of Jessica Livingston that ticked pg off: https://www.vox.com/platform/amp/2014/8/21/11630108/ycs-jess...

Ok, thanks.

Short names on these popular country TLDs are probably not as valuable as they might seem.

I used to own a NN.io domain name where NN was a common financial abbreviation. I thought it might be fairly valuable, but I ended up selling at auction for less than $3k. (That was before the crypto boom. Maybe it could have fetched more if I’d waited several years and sold in 2021. It seems like there was a short moment when even relatively crap .xyz domains sold for five figures.)

The top of that list is voice.com for $30mm, which is apparently an NFT art marketplace. The top-selling artist of all time has sold $100k worth of NFTs. The top-selling artist in the past 30 days has sold $425. Ouch. I do not think they made back their investment on that domain.
Curious: every terms of service says you are committed to not reverse engineering their tech. Does this count, and if so, what does that mean?
To make things easier, let's suppose our Activist is named Alice, and our Cop is named Charlie.

> The impersonator, by definition isn't known. Only the profile being impersonated is.

Charlie isn't able to impersonate Alice's profile because that's encrypted and Charlie doesn't have the key. Charlie can make a fresh profile, but it's not Alice's, although of course Charlie is able to use a stock photo of Alice (if he has one) and name it "Alice". Let's label this Alice2.

> If an activist is part of a private group, and a cop impersonates the activist, they can get all the new messages without raising any doubt.

Although Alice may be part of a group, Charlie isn't and Alice2 isn't either. Messages sent to Alice (as a group member) are not received by Alice2, who wouldn't be able to decrypt them anyway. Charlie will need to (as Alice2) ask to have Alice2 admitted to the group. Perhaps he can pretend Alice dropped her phone and bought a new one. Depending on what sort of "activist group" this is and the threat level, this may be quite easy or involve an in-person meeting which will be difficult to fake.

Of course since apparently you're imagining Alice is actually still around, she presumably tells people Alice2 is an imposter and it's likely this goes very badly for Charlie even if it's not an in-person meeting.

> In a lively conversation, the cop can even send messages and expect the activist not to see them. Disappearing messages will help here.

If Alice isn't knocked off the network, none of this "impersonation" works. You seem to be imagining Signal is some toy message board system where you can log in as Alice - just need an SMS, but it's nothing like that, that's why subpoenas don't bring anything meaningful back when they ask Signal about phone numbers, Signal doesn't know anything.
cryptography (the original "crypto") has been a thing for awhile
The vast majority of the stuff in our dead tree library pertains to what would now be considered ancient tech, computer-wise going back as far as the PDP-8. The problem with searching for Internet answers on that stuff is, most of the time, you'll at best find someone who's interested in diligently hacking on it. What you often run into is someone looking for answers to homework (e.g. the Intel 8085 is still used in a lot of Indian colleges, apparently) or trying to make something "just work" for Internet cool points.

Totally agreed. I take some issue with the verbiage, particularly:

> "Figure 1: Recovering high resolution image from low resolution"

This is terribly misleading. There is no data being "recovered" here. A ML model is guessing at the result based on other training data. It may (and in fact is likely to) make stuff up entirely based on what it thinks should be there.

I'm generally pretty live and let live when it comes to ML-based upscaling, because if some drawing or personal photograph has some artifacting it's pretty harmless. But when you're doing it in a tool whose data will be relied upon for Real Stuff, one needs to be painfully accurate when it comes to what the system does and its limitations.
