I've posted on Hackernews before mentioning that I grew up in East Palestine and my entire immediate and most of my extended family either live in the town itself or within 20 miles.

It's been surreal to see this event unplay in the media.

Some things I haven't seen talked about:

1. How desperately poor most of the population in that area is.

My fear is that if the crash has long terms effects people will never get justice.

These are people who can't afford to go to a doctor regularly. They can't afford to miss work. They can't afford to sue a railroad and they'll very likely take a small payment to waive all liability because any amount of money right now is better than whatever they might theoretically get in the future.

And for the most part no one there would tell you they're poor or disadvantaged. I don't mean to imply that they are downtrodden or helpless. I certainly didn't think that of myself or anyone else growing up there.

It is only with the perspective of having left and having traveled the world and having risen through the economic ladder that I have the ability to look back and see how disadvantaged they will be against a large corporation.

Barring legislation and government intervention I cannot imagine they will have even a shot in hell at getting a fair evaluation and fair deal.

2. Train wrecks happened in the area somewhat frequently

Growing up I remember at last 3 or 4 train wrecks bad enough that people had to be put up in hotels.

I don't know if that's a lot of a little for an area in a ~10 year span but it feels like a lot.

I also don't know if train wrecks are tracked and reported anywhere other than local paper archives but I would be very interested to see the internal data and memos the railroad has related to derailments.

If anyone is aware of such a resource please let me know.

The bible, Koran, and many other religious text are among the best selling and most read books in all of human history. Should their perspective be giving high weight when you ask how the earth formed?
I feel like I'm in the same state. Hopefully this works for me as well.
I'm pretty worried about this. The fallout/plume won't just be isolated to a region we can avoid or mitigate. It's in our waterways and in our air. I wouldn't be surprised if a year from now we can detect it all around the world. We might not know the full extent of the disaster for many years.
For regular backups of 6TB why would you even consider tape? Seriously asking because I have priced tapes and the break even point vs hard drives is high.

Thank you for posting this. It can be one of the harder lessons in life to learn.

I work in a job where you often want to say yes to people because they are in need, but because the resource they are wanting is scarce and there are strict rules and protocols I'm put in a position where I have to say no, or at best "I'll ask but the answer is probably 'no'".

If I say "yes" when I don't have the power to, that gets me in trouble.

Which is good. It's taught me a lot about looking at my own life and time and seeing those as scarce resources. Someone invites me to a party? I would have said yes in the past because I recognise it as inclusive and welcoming. Now it's a hard no (I have some stripe of social anxiety that makes actually attending a party a miserable affair).

The middle ground is, I think, is saying "yes but," and setting conditions. In programming and IT when someone asks me for help I will almost always say "yes", because I generally know a lot more than my colleauges, and I'm an information-wants-to-be-free open-source help-people kind of person. But I'll always try and combine it with learning so the person I help can pass it on, or at least not come back to me. Or I'll say, occasionally, "I'll help you after I've completed this task".
I used floorplanner for my last remodel. It was great. The contracting company was really impressed by what I gave them.

I'd say it will take a few hours to get used to it and after that you can probably do most of what you want to do.

I’m not sure what basic facts you are talking about.

The VA population is a lot older and sicker than the general population and will contain a large number of immunodeficient individuals.

Further, the population of multiply-reinfected and symptomatic people is biased towards the immunodeficient since immunocompetent people tend not to get symptomatically reinfected.

Extrapolating the general case from these populations makes zero sense.
Context: v1 of the paper exploited a misconfiguration in how they configured the Go AI to play with an esoteric ruleset (the vulnerability that they found was documented in the KataGo docs, took me a few minutes to find it. KataGo still played much better Go than their adversarial program and no Go player would dispute it). My analysis at the time: https://twitter.com/AurSaraf/status/1588184384116514818

Now they fixed the misconfiguration so their training could find actual weaknesses, and they found a very big actual weakness, that even weak amateur Go players like me can look at and say "oh my God AI what are you doing defend your group!". And it even generalizes to another popular Go AI, which is great!

This is a great result, very impressive, great work by the team.

Supernova simulations are especially interesting too. I have heard them described as the only time in physics when all 4 of the fundamental forces are important. The explosion can be quite finicky too. If I remember right, you can't get supernova to explode properly in 1D simulations, only in higher dimensions. This was a mystery until the realization that turbulence is necessary for supernova to trigger--there is no turbulent flow in 1D.

> We have extractors for different user requirements to make adding APIs very straightforward. We have middleware for scoping requests per customer. In most languages, this is pretty standard, but in Rust, for our use case, they both require at least a rough understanding of pinning.

This is more about "async Rust" and the way that the most common web frameworks for Rust are utilizing it. It should be totally possible to write much easier to understand frameworks and code - potentially with the limitation of using a classical thread per request architecture which avoids most of the async/lifetime/pinning pitfalls. The main drawback seems that such frameworks seem out of favor in Rust and thereby not available or not very well maintained.

Anything dealing with human lives needs to assign a value to it. You don't want to spend $100 billion on something that's just gonna save 1 person. But spending $100 on something that's gonna save 1 person is something pretty much everyone is fine with.

Somewhere in the middle is where most people disagree.
"So you're saying that your ability to get work done is dependent on forcing time with your co-workers on your schedule instead of theirs? This would be rude even if in the office.

I'm saying on average, everyone's ability to get stuff done is higher if everyone can interrupt everyone.

That I've seen, the "2030" was an estimate of when the forward hull section would completely collapse.

Underwater or not - the forward hull is a tall metal structure, weighing thousands of tons. At some point, corrosion of the load-bearing elements will weaken it too far to withstand gravity and currents. There will be a major collapse, with (my guess) the decks mostly pancaking, and a fair amount of the sides being blown outward. Along with a huge amount of "little stuff" from inside.
Yeah I think the real problem is that deleting an app isn't uninstalling (which is sometimes a feature not a bug), but Apple provides no paradigm for actually uninstalling that deletes preferences too.

Your question is ill posed.

Any potential answer will heavily depend on the assumptions you are making, there is no broad set specific answer, and depending on the assumptions you made but haven't communicated, it might spark whole new spectrum of potential solutions. You will get a different answer for every person you ask as it is written, which is structurally a poll with no real benefit...

There is no one size fits all answer to the questions you've asked, additionally, it may be you are really asking another question that you haven't actually communicated, the why? of the particular question you asked. For what purpose?

Until you narrow the scope, you will only get guesses about what people think you meant, and communication is inherently receiver based. We can't mind-read. Care to elaborate on what you are really trying to do?

Not since I’ve use it either. I may be missing something since I’ve only used async Rust, in what way does Rust say “you need a lock here”? If it does that then I stand corrected and I may just have to drop async Rust altogether and checkout crossbeam + rayon that everyone raves about.
This is complete bullshit. Alfred 5.0 was released in July last year and the last update 5.0.6 was in December. Packal is online and a couple of packages were updated 1 week 6 days ago. And not only that, but to replicate most of Alfred's functionality in Raycast, you have to rely on plugins and hope they are both secure and maintained by somebody whereas Alfred's functionality is maintained by the Alfred team. Stop spreading misinformation.

> After becoming a father and undertaking a major rewrite at work, I had fallen off my ‘good habits’ wagon and was having a very tough time returning to my earlier state

This doesn’t sound like failure to me, it sounds like the normal consequences of your life becoming busier. Of course it is hard to resume those habits, especially if your life is still stressful and busy.

Maybe we should consider our own limits and be more accepting of why we might fall into bad habits. This obsession with balance and productivity does a lot of damage.

As a final point, everyone has a different tolerance for stress and productivity. But western morals assume all people are equal and any failing are thus a moral failure. This harms those of us who, through random environment + genetics have different strengths and weaknesses. Many ADHDers go through life thinking of themselves as shit people because they can never even get close to the moral standard of balance.

Its an attemot to make it so the very real problems of bias, etc., don't show up in flashy ways so as to feed in to efforts to make sure they are dealt with effectively before such systems are widely relied on. It's the PR/Marketing version of AI safety/alignment (as opposed to the genuine version, which is less concerned with making output bland and polite.)

> macOS already has a sandbox. In practice many sandboxed apps can't actually write to /Library or ~/Library. They write to a sandboxed directory that pretends to be ~/Library further containing directories like ~/Library/Application Support. The real path of that directory is generally under ~/Library/Containers.

I know that: what I would like is more ways for the users to control this. I expect these companies to do everything they can to evade restrictions, and I’d like some ways to tighten the rules more than the defaults for some applications. I think from the OS perspective everything is there already, just not accessible through any UI.

> Now for obvious reasons Apple cannot force all macOS apps to be sandboxed. It was already a PR hit when they required Mac App Store apps to be sandboxed.

Indeed. But overall it’s an improvement for user security, just like SIP and the read-only system image.

I think something funky is going on on your device. Maybe Chrome or one of its tabs are running into some kind of memory leak? Maybe the OS is failing to kill enough other running applications and is letting Chrome hit some kind of memory limit? Maybe there's a bug in Chrome on certain devices?

I'm still on a heavily modified Android 11 and my phone is receiving browser notifications fine, reboot or not. I know many of Google's pixels contain relatively weak CPUs to keep cost and battery consumption down, but that shouldn't be a reason for Chrome to keep crashing in the background.

You can try going to chrome://serviceworker-internals/ and checking for any weird background service workers that may interfere with your browser. That page can also be used to troubleshoot serviceworkers (which can/are used for sending notifications).
That less people show up to vote in midterm elections, those that do are usually motivated by opposition to the ruling power, and possibly that the less people allowed to vote legally is an advantage for Republicans.
