> The war on drugs has demonstrably been a spectacular failure thus far.

The US war on drugs has not done well. But there are other countries which in fact have almost no drug use — Singapore, Taiwan, China, among others. There demonstrably are ways to wage a war on drugs in a democracy that work.
The example at the Museum of Flight in Seattle (somewhat ironically resting at a Boeing factory...) still has original seating and the interior is open to the public - it's really cramped. What got me most though is the tiny portal of a window you got, due to the design constraints of supersonic flight etc. All that cost and prestige, but a cramped seat and no view.
Yes, that is correct, though I guess an issue would be that the drag would increase sharply if parts of the plane is sticking out of the shockwave, necessating even more thrust.
It's weird that actual current maintenance, actual existence of modern features, and actual cross-platform portability doesn't communicate that, but a new logo does.
Would be cool if they could host the compiler and the runtime on the target device like in Forth. Do my hardware hacking and experiment over serial port that way without the edit compile flash reset cycle..
Full John Wick 4 movie posted to Twitter
I'm curious around the discussion of what this means for twitter and social media under Elon's new rule, rather than highlighting the movie itself, which I'd rather watch in the movie theater.
I remember offering to make a PR w/ examples for something when I was a junior dev and was politely told that they didn't want examples. I assumed - and still assume - that this was a generational difference in what people expected competence to look like.

While this attitude made sense pre-internet, reading about every switch for common use cases is just not realistic today. Maybe if the number of command-line programs were less, and the complexity of each command was significantly less, I could see how it would be done, but not today.

Given PyPI has been a vector for distributing malware into dependency chains, wouldn't you think that would be a more likely target for the DoJ over one of HN's favorite axes to grind?
Haven't seen the movie but assuming it's like the roadside picnic book that scene is what made the story worth it for me besides the concept.

Nevermind I took a quick look at the plot and although the concept is close it seems different enough, at least at the ending.
I guess I should watch it already after postponing it for years.
Portugal is the showcase. There are too many ignorant commenters who would rather continue wasting treasure on the failed, racist, militarized Prohibition and enrichment of criminals instead of adapting to what works in the real world: harm reduction and healthcare, not throw away the key.

Ah yes countries where you face long prison sentences or, in the case of Singapore, the death penalty, for weed possession. This is the kind of society you want to live in?
Yeah, but adding something that millions of people remember as a way to catalog and systematically murder them isn't helping the situation.
Guess that's why the war of independence was with the germans... ;)
I made the mistake of answering a number I did not recognize one day. On the other end was a jobot recruiter.

I chalked it up to fate and went ahead and talked to him and then agreed to hear the company out.

He sent me the details next day and I realized it wasn't for me. So I canceled the interview.

What transpired next was shocking. This dude lost it and texted me over and over for an entire week claiming I had destroyed his reputation. He was going to lose his job. How dare I do this to him and demanded I take the interview or else.

I seriously thought he was going to show up at my house and kill me or something.
Ah, nuking. That brings back memories.

I remember you had to use NukeNabber to block attacks to TCP port 139 IIRC.
Tangential thought.

Olive oil has been in Italy for a long time, you can make it manually and I guess the high quality stuff sold in nice stores is roughly equivalent to making it manually in terms of final product (maybe not as fresh or whatever but close).

Vegetable oil though… modern vegetable oil is generally very processed AFAIK, and it’s not at all like what Asians would have used to cook with before industrialization when most cuisines developed I think?

I wonder what sort of fat would be used, like, classically, in Thai cuisine? Still vegetable oil?
Encouraging generic drugs eases the problem a little bit.

When I was still relatively familiar with flash memory technologies (in particular NAND flash, the type used in SSDs and USB drives), the retention specs were something like 10 years at 20C after 100K cycles for SLC, and 5 years at 20C after 5-10K cycles for MLC. The more flash is worn, the leakier it becomes. I believe the "few weeks" number for modern TLC/QLC flash, but I suspect that is still after the specified endurance has been reached. In theory, if you only write to the flash once, then the retention should still be many decades.

Someone is trying to find out with an experiment, however: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35382252
The F-22 cost $138 million. F-35 is down to $70 million. The US only bought 200 F-22, they aren’t being made anymore, and they are needing replacement in decade. That doesn’t help with the thousands of other fighters that need replacement.

Name “other similarly stealthy” aircraft. All our allies are buying F-35 because it is the only affordable, good stealthy fighter available.
The World Famous MK1 Golf That Killed the Porsche and Nissan
Real question from someone genuinely curious: why would one use Thunderbird, or any third-party email client? What benefits does this offer over using the UI provided by your email provider (assuming that you aren't self-hosting)?

I assume there are benefits -- I guess one I can think of off the top of my head is that your email is accessible offline. Surely there are others though
That wasn't precisely by choice though, IIRC.
They removed the human from the car. There’s still humans to recover from the edge cases. I don’t know if they actually remote control the cars or if they have to send a driver though.
> Portugal is the showcase. There are too many ignorant commenters who would rather continue wasting treasure on the failed, racist, militarized Prohibition and enrichment of criminals instead of adapting to what works in the real world: harm reduction and healthcare, not throw away the key.

That websites says:

> Portugal has not changed the legal status of any drugs. They all remain illegal, however, the offence for possession has been changed from a criminal to a civil one.

> Portugal decriminalised use and possession of all drugs in a way that moves the focus from criminal punishment to treatment.

> Drugs are not freely available, and they cannot legally be sold. If you are caught with a possession quantity of a drug, there are still civil consequences.

> The manufacture, importation and sale of drugs is still very illegal. Even growing your own cannabis is still a criminal matter, as is the possession of cannabis seeds.

So is this what the parent means when they say "regulate it, tax it"? How are recreational drugs "taxed" when they remain illegal?

I worked in joinery and carpentry for around 6 years (apart from a few years as a teen as well). While I love building and think they’re incredible crafts, you might find that very few people agree. If you want to work for the sake of moving, building, some kind of rudimentary connection to a physical process, maybe that would be alright.

I found it fairly soul draining. I want to be great at what I do so I can make the best things possible for people (within reason, of course). Every time I build something, I’m focused on improving myself and my work. The end result should be the creation, improvement, or restoration of something that really should exist, and makes someone’s day or months or years better. A form of leaving things better than you found them.

What I did for most of my years was seek out people like me (and mostly failing) while unethically corner-cutting for foremen, radically simplifying joinery processes to save money (not improve products), doing mass amounts of body-breaking menial labour to get big jobs moving, covering up avoidable mistakes because very few people cared not to make them, and generally grinding my love for my work into a pulp.

Drunk people on forklifts. Heaps of overt sexism and racism. People working hard to avoid doing their jobs rather than working hard at their jobs. Heaps of resentment if you care and want to do better. Terrible compensation.

I love building things. I still do it, and frankly I value my physical labour and trade skills more highly than software. I suppose it seems to me that society, or at least the economy, strongly disagrees and so it’s both financially and perhaps spiritually intractable to return to that kind of work as a career.

If these things don’t sound like they’d matter to you, that’s great. I know my incompatibility was partially my own temperament and stubborn inability to simply adapt and let these things be. I am glad I left it behind, though. Despite being young and healthy, it was doing bad things to my body and not doing much for my mind either.
And more specifically "pressed" discs, not those you can burn at home.

Those you can burn at home relies on a chemical reaction which will degrade after several years, faster if exposed to sunlight.
IMO it comes down to essential vs incidental complexity. Understanding fundamental realities is valuable. Memorizing trivia isn't. Most software complexity is still the latter rather than the former.
> the United States is not, nor has ever been, a part of the British Empire.

The United States, shortly before calling itself the United Colonies, and shortly before that calling itself the Continental Association was formed as a group of colonies in British North America with common grievances against the government in London that it initially directed to the King within, and backed by an embargo against much of the rest of, the Empire. That attempt to improve the government of their part of the Empire to their satsifaction failing, they subsequently declared and eventually secured independence.

Which is to say that while it didn’t change its name to the United States until it had decided to exit the Empire, the organization that became known as the United States was formed as an association and agenda within the British Empire.

More to the point, the US, while not a belligerent in the Opium Wars, was a participant in the unequal treaties imposed through them (and played “good cop” while the British and French used force after the treaties relating to the 2nd Opium War were signed to secure their ratification.)

> As a very happy user of Comma, I think it is reasonable to say the company is going to fail, but that ignores that the product they created is still awesome. Comma is light years better than any built-in driving assist in any non-Tesla car. And it's comparable to Tesla for far less money.

I'm Comma user in one of my cars as well, and I do like it. But, when was last time you tried built-in driving assist in a Tesla-priced car?

Tesla's driver assist is nothing special nowadays.
I'm the author of that post. There is absolutely no meaningful sense in which PyPI's previous PGP support was (or ever did) provide end-to-end package signing. At the absolute most, when used correctly (which, overwhelmingly, it was not), it provided one half of package signing.

The other half (key retrieval and identity binding) was never provided, because PGP as an ecosystem made doing so intractable. It was not better than nothing, because it was nothing; anything you could have done with it can be done with your own sidecar signatures.
Here's annotated translation from c-suite speak:

"This is going to be difficult for all of us" (This is going to be more difficult for you than for me. For me this really isn't going to be that difficult. I want you to think we're in the same boat, but you're just kinda clinging to the liferaft in shark-infested waters watching my luxury superyacht sail away over the horizon while I sip margs on the deck and wipe a tear away from my eye for the webcam.)

"We're going to need to learn to do more with less" (but mostly you'll need to learn to do more and you who'll be getting less. I already learned that I don't really need to do much of anything to keep my job and can throw billions on the metaverse dumpsterfire without consequence. Good to have this little chat.)
Health care requires other people’s labor though. If you make that a right you risk needing to implement some kind of forced labor system (sure it can be obfuscated as much as you like).

Not taking guns doesn’t require anyone’s labor, so you don’t run into this hazard.

I’m not particularly pro gun, I just don’t think positive rights are practical from a design perspective.
I’ve considered that. I’ve long been interested in bootstrapping. Lots of unpublished projects in the archive that I should also write up.

I considered writing a self-hosting compiler. It should be doable without too much work. I was going to do one in BarelyC originally.

>Ukraine’s air force claimed

>Ukraine Says

Surely Ukraine, being in the middle of a war, would have no incentive to lie for propaganda purposes. As the other commenter pointed out they were arrested way earlier and the reason was because they sold secrets to China not because of any failure of the project.
That’s right, it’s all just a conspiracy by the MAINSTREAM MEDIA!

Twitter’s failure didn’t cost them an 80% drop in users listening to the stream or anything like that. Why aren’t these evil journalists focusing on the REAL NEWS, the generic campaign announcements contained within the restarted, much smaller stream?
As a SW person who's worked at AI chip company, this is 100% true.

I know of a kind, scruffy, old homeless gent in the south SF Bay Area with awful bent back and no teeth. He admitted to being hooked on heroin for most of his adult life. His mind was actually quite sharp and intact for any age but his body was a trainwreck.

Meth mouth is also a thing, but that's different. Folks who use meth look have a look like they use drugs. They look both sickly and old. I recall my mother's second cousin (similar age) who looked about twice my mom's age because she used meth.
Throughput. There’s enough people going from one island to another, that is cheaper on pilots to have one bigger plane than several smaller ones, and it’s easier to fit into the limited number of slots for take off and landing.

"Has them" doesn't mean "legal everywhere". Lots of places have legacy ones from before zoning.

What city is it?

There are lots of businesses that I would not want to be in. Does that mean they shouldn't be legal?
Ha, interesting points, but it's all a matter of perspective.

I would much rather that the bird delivering my mail is a badass who can protect it at all costs. Perhaps the protective "MINE" body language is aimed at someone trying to intercept my mail, not at me. This is a much better scenario than a fake-ass overly friendly bird.

Also, the old logo always made me a little uncomfortable—it looks like the bird is mid flight, but the moment it flaps its wings up it's dropping that letter!!!
Not your model not your AI.
If those agencies can order PyPI to insert a backdoor, wouldn’t they be able to coerce keyservers into updating the public key at the same time?
Yup. Your comment seemed to present advantages of speculation without saying it’s a pure good. The comment I replied to seemed more pure market.
> This is geohot. He knows how to build software, and how to fix problems.

This is a nonsequitor. This feels like when my uncle learns that I know how to program he asks me to build a website. These are two different things. I do ML and scientific computing, I'm not your guy. Hotz is a wiz kid but why should we expect his talents to be universal? Generalists don't exist.

And we're talking the guy who tweeted about believing that the integers and reals have the same cardinality right? Between that and his tweets on quantum we definitely have strong evidence that his jailbreaking skills don't translate to math or physics.

He's clearly good at what he does. There's no doubt about that. But why should I believe that his skills translate to other domains?

STOP MAKING GODS OUT OF MEN. Seriously, can we stop this? What does Stanning accomplish? It's creepy. It's creepy if it is BTS, Bieber, Elon, Robert Downey Jr, or Hotz.

I considered self-modifying code, but somehow I kept finding more ways to squeeze bytes out. I’m half convinced that you could condense it another 50 ish bytes and add operator precedence or even local vars. But.. frankly.. I was ready to switch my attention to a new project.

I chose Trident because I wanted a fair(er) comparison of costs due to purchasing power. If you want to use North Korean ICBM pricing, it's $30M[1]. THAAD is very expensive, that you're right about...but it's also the only interceptor that has a chance of success against an ICBM. Please note as well, trident is typically deployed with far fewer warheads likely among other reasons because it doesn't need to be an interceptor sponge, per its role. If you're North Korea with a small arsenal, every one needs to count against an opponent with THAAD.

The problem is not fulfilling the requirements -- that can happen. The problem is that requirements change when the rest of the world does.

If remodeling buildings had the ROI that continued development of software does, that would happen all the time too.
Agree anything “black and white” is probably wrong. Just like devs like to not see the value in the existence of tech debt or management or coding interviews some seem unable to weigh the pros and cons of notifications and being randomized. Everything is complicated.
For me it was when he said that the cardinality of integers is the same as real numbers. Then I saw his twitter and all the politics and crazy stuff about QM.

Many years ago I went camping and snails entered the tent. They proceeded to eat the pages out of a book, rasping the top layer of paper off of pages while leaving the lower layers of the pages intact. It was one of those "The Reality of Dan Brown's Fiction"-style books which were all the rage back then, proving to me that snails will literally eat anything, no matter how little sustaining.
