I didn't read the article as playing blame-games or stoking hatred, personally. The author does kind of walk through a timeline from 2020 to now about hand sanitizer; but that felt more like just a timeline. Yeah, we all kind of freaked out about washing early on (I had a UV-C sterilizer in an aluminum foil lined box (!!!)), but each of us was doing our best during an emergency. That, at least, is the sense I got from that part of the article. I realize the article set you off, and I could totally see that happening to me in different circumstances, so just want to say that I get it. But, speaking for myself, I liked this article because it made me think about something I hadn't before so I thought I'd share that perspective.

The article talks about how there's tons of left over hand sanitizer we now have to deal with. I personally just never spared a thought for there now being many millions of gallons of this stuff sitting around. I also hadn't ever thought about how they can't sell or give away or cheaply dispose of it, so it's just sitting there being all haz-matty and stuff. And, I can absolutely see some low-margin operators looking for an out in that situation.

Anyway, I'd encourage anyone who liked the article to read the complaint the county filed in this instance. It's not short but it's a pretty quick read. Start at "Pre-Fire Violations of the Hazardous Materials Laws at the Property" if you just want to read the timeline [according to the Plaintiffs] there's also lots of pictures. It does sounds like the authorities were trying to do the right thing, but the company [allegedly] ignored the repeated citations. See: https://file.lacounty.gov/SDSInter/lac/1118231_CountyvProlog...

That made me wonder whether there are any other facilities improperly storing this stuff. To be clear, this isn't political code; I'm not saying we need different laws, not drawing parallels to the Beirut or Tianjin warehouse explosions and saying we now suck, or drawing parallels to the Ohio rail fire and how we keep defunding and defanging government safety inspectors... Instead, this is an article talking specifically about an industrial accident and the many Americans who suffered. I had never heard about it previously, found it interesting, and learned something both from the article and by following up and looking into it a bit more myself.

Anyway, while I respect your opinion, speaking for myself I don't see this article creating any sort of division... I mean, between who? You and me and everyone who reads the article versus people who [allegedly] improperly store dangerous chemicals in residential areas despite multiple citations to stop doing that? That's the sort of polarization I don't mind.

High-level idea: About 1% of the weights contribute greatly to quantization error. So skip the quantization of these weights.
I think culturally we need to get our heads on straight. There’s no reason for someone who is capable of work to be feeling offended that a sick person gets something they can earn. I’m not angry disabled people can get income just for being disabled: being disabled sucks ass! Similarly I wouldn’t envy a homeless/addicted person: being homeless rots your brain and being addicted is like being enslaved. I’m a free man and I’m happy with that. Yes I must work for my housing but I guarantee my quality of life is better than someone whose addiction drive them out onto the streets.

A literal free market is one without regulation. If you want a regulated market, don't call it a free market.
Are there any good studies into the most prevalent causes of homelessness? I'd be especially interested that are trying to tease apart cause and effect, without the study author trying to prove out their own preconceptions.
I would read a blog or twitter account just full of stories like this.

I would send in some of my own, as I think it’s a funny and beautiful thing when a mundanely localized supernatural mystery is solved by investigating.

A tone of mild disappointment is a pretty common denominator experience that grins.
This hypothetical person will either smash windows and go to an apartment, or smash windows and go sleep somewhere in public. If they are already at the point of smashing windows, then there’s some element of desperation or misanthropy that makes me prefer that they spend their night somewhere private.

Anyway if we’re designing hypothetical people, we can come up with sympathetic ones too, so it seems like a wash policy-wise.
Imagine that you can now give personalized instruction to every student and it's called as 'a big problem for teachers.'
... and avoid automated attacks in case a 0-day in the pre-authentication OpenSSH server code shows up
I am not sure why it's relevant whether methods are supported by GUI browsers at all (please refer to URIs by method, not "protocol"); because the security.txt is likely to be parsed automatically (since it is, of course, not HTML) and indeed, "tel:" and "mailto:" are both somewhat apt methods to be invoked by a company who's hiring/receiving reports, and doesn't want/need a website for it.

So yeah, it is important that this part of the RFC specify a difference between "web" and "non-web" URIs, because the authors of security.txt are free to use any URI method that makes sense.
I was with you up to “once you get over the cool factor.” It seems impossible to get over how cool it is to have a minibrain playing video games. Having one of those at home must really impress the girls.

Oh no, I only have 640K
While I agree, there's some few cases where I find Alt+Tab to be superior. A small example, you are writing a PR and want to peek at the code, you can cmd+tab, look, cmd+tab again and keep typing without moving your hands from the position. So for that "peeking" it's very useful while keeping focus. I find grander gestures like three fingers up to be a lot better when I want to "context switch" though.

Now the only/big annoyance in macOS is that "closed" windows don't close the app, so you are back from a zoom meeting trying to get into the zone and you cmd+tab from code to terminal and back expecting that to work and suddenly you are greeted tabbing into Zoom, but it is closed, but it still gets in the way.
I disable password authentication and use fail2ban. It's unlikely they will be able to brute force my key, but no server is perfect. sshd might be compromised one day. I’d rather have an extra layer of defense just in case.
Not being able to handle remote work seems to be emerging as an indicator of other kinds of mismanagement as well. Just another example of errors propagating unchecked.
>Cities also have higher costs of living because they are densely populated

Isn't population density supposed to introduce efficiencies that would lead to lowering costs? I think, that's the usual argument against suburban sprawl.
That's great that a philosophy major has a blog and a Facebook group for his pet theory. There is no science here. I hate how vapid the this space is, there is so much guesswork and making things up. His comment about wearing underpowered lenses for example, has been repeatedly shown to either have no effect or worsen myopia https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/cxo.12978 His idea that you can look at slightly doubled things in defocus and work to "fuse" them is insane, he just did something on a walk by chance and then somehow claimed it's part of the process.

Again, as far as science knows, there is no way to reverse myopia. It's like asking how to make your liver less elongated. The tissue has grown into the shape it's in, it doesn't reshape itself over time.
How many of these homeless people are actually from California?
A Gameboy would probably have the computing resources to do a thousand such calculations a millisecond.
A monseigneur was in charge of the school and it was registered with the diocese as a parochial school with a church attached. I assure you that it was Roman Catholic. You can stop questioning that now.

Catholic history, canon, etc were all part of our education. Beatings (corporal punishment) were part of Catholic education going back decades in the states. If you don't recognize this as part of Catholic history you're fooling yourself. What we had was less than corporal punishment, but having erasers tossed at you and being hit with rulers were expectations year over year.

As I said, I may have some details wrong but I'm 90% positive this is what we were taught.
I think you're making some incorrect, bold claims about art in an effort to simultaneously defend all artists and insult all engineers.

You don't need to "go back to cave dweller's paintings to even have the first idea about what art is", you just need to look at some art. Lots of art can evoke emotion in people with no background in art history, just like lots of food and drink can please people with no background in culinary history. There's a narrow subset, though, that can more or less only be appreciated by people who know the history. I don't think that subset is uniquely important. In fact, I think it belongs at the periphery of art.

An artistic subculture where the majority of attention is on works that don't do anything except deconstruct their mediums--works whose appreciation depends wholly on a socio-political understanding of the artist--is not a subculture I'm very interested in. And I don't think that makes me a dismissive, overly-analytic engineer. Quite the opposite! I think it's those who obsess over history and context instead of content that have lost themselves to analytics. Pure content-appreciation is our primitive, natural instinct.
Luckily a San Franciscan figured it all out over one hundred years ago:

> THE GREAT PROBLEM IS SOLVED. We are able to explain social phenomena that have appalled philanthropists and perplexed statesmen all over the civilized world. We have found the reason why wages constantly tend to a minimum, giving but a bare living, despite increase in productive power:

> As productive power increases, rent tends to increase even more — constantly forcing down wages.

> Advancing civilization tends to increase the power of human labor to satisfy human desires. We should be able to eliminate poverty. But workers cannot reap these benefits because they are intercepted. Land is necessary to labor. When it has been reduced to private ownership, the increased productivity of labor only increases rent. Thus, all the advantages of progress go to those who own land. Wages do not increase — wages cannot increase. The more labor produces, the more it must pay for the opportunity to make anything at all.

A Land Value Tax fixes our problems but in California we voted in Prop 13 which is about as far from that as you can get. And now here we are.
Can you elaborate on this? These are not preemptible, why would they disappear without warning? I've been running on these for 2 or 3 years without any issues thus far.
Thanks! This is incredibly helpful! I searched around a bit at like 3 AM while I was building it, but couldn't find a simple clean example like what you provided. Once traffic dies down i'll swap it out.
Is there any reason libreddit couldn't eventually become more like nitter, scraping web results from the site instead of using an official API?
The issue is their claim that the cause was the proprietary nature of iOS.

This is inconsistent with their claims of expertise.

That’s the issue. I believe the claim isn’t being made because they are experts or because it is true, but rather to deflect blame for marketing and political reasons.
I think they should be developed before one injects themselves into foreign places

i am going to have to disagree with this. if anything i found doing this a lot easier in foreign places than at home. so if i would have waited until i was able to do that at home, then i would never have been able to leave in the first place.

and you know what, after three decades i still feel uncomfortable in a room when i don't know anyone and i rely on others to welcome me. i don't know what or how i should have learned anything other than keep doing it, be patient and to try not be too awkward.

i have literally just been through this experience today. in a group of tech people that all had the same cultural origin as me too. a few people talked to me and i was able to join the conversation.

to answer your questions: i have a variety of interests, some stronger some less, (like most science topics, even if i know nothing about them are interesting) but if it's not about any of those, like most sports or chit chat about celebrities, then i'll struggle. i'll listen, but i may not have much to say.

i don't know if i can make people interested but i can talk to them if they are interested in a way they will understand.

i can speak confidently, and i don't shy away from social situations, but how much i enjoy that depends on everyone there. today was so-so. nobody made me feel unwelcome, but i have experienced much more welcoming groups (mainly from other cultures, most notably africans). so today wasn't bad, but it was somewhat mentally exhausting, just as i expected it

sometimes you just can't predict what happens when you join an event with people you don't know. at one event i talked to someone for 5 minutes, and half a year later he invited me to work with him on his project. at another, after attending a few times, one of the organizers talked to me and eventually became one of my best friends even though he hardly spoke my language, and i don't speak his.

i would not have been able to live such a life rich of experiences if i had stopped myself due to the challenges i face interacting with other people.

actually so far from my experience, the only group of people that seems to have difficulties to welcome others into our groups, is us.
The funny thing is, you don't even need corruption. Every single one person in those GONGOs could be genuinely willing to help the homeless. The problem is, if their financing is detached from whether their strategies are successful - and even smart and honest people have great capacity for self-delusion, which is only enhanced when the mission is morally laudable - then the money could be wasted as thoroughly as if they were corrupt.
And yet, in spite of being offended by it, your life would actually be better for them getting free housing.
What I haven't understood is: why don't people move away if they're doing min wage jobs in a place where they are clearly incapable of delivering any quality of life?

Bring labor supply down and suddenly the market has to pay more. This seems to be simple oversupply in a saturated market.
There was a time where my company decided to implement time sheets after a consultant said it is a nice thing to do.

I wrote some code that generated random data in the right format and people begged for it so I shared it.

Plenty of people started to create random reports, their bosses didn't give a fuck because they were pissed of as well (and wanted to use my tool as well).

The company ended up with a heap of nonsense data and I guess that someone realized that because this circus was gone after a few months.

That was in one of the largest and best known US company in the 00's, no wonder it went from a national pride to a peripheral company.
SEEKING WORK, San Francisco, Open to remote roles

Lots of experience scaling out services and working with Kubernetes and Docker.

Also have extensive experience with Linux, writing bash scripts for automation, nginx, etc.

Have worked with companies at various stages, ranging from small seed-round to post-IPO.

I love roles where I can build tooling that helps my fellow engineers get their work done faster.
I don't think that it is true that the newspaper that are dying are the one that are doing the useful investigation s. Quite the opposite: the trend is to make easy money by cutting staff and just printing AP or Reuters click baity news.

They are complaining that people just take the titles and don't pay for articles, but articles are empty block of rephrasing the content they got from AP.

I think the trend is even having IA and co generating these contents, like for sport newspapers.

And if you notice, also a big quantity of major newspaper ( like tv channels) are bought by moguls or the richest businessmen of most countries and then they clearly avoid doing dangerous investigation about the government and powerful persons because it is bad for business.

But if you look carefully, the media that are still doing real investigative journalism and the one that are fighting corruption are not the one that are trying to racket Facebook.

At the opposite most of them are independent, and they are proud to be funded by readers. And it works. People pay when they see that they get quality work.

For example, in France, the is an online newspaper (Mediapart) that exposed most of the recent corruption cases and still they give the option for subscribers to share the articles that they want with friends for free. It works and I think that a lot of people like me are very happy to continue funding this media with our subscriptions.
Not really. It was Lisa's decision to stop shipping CPUs with locked clock multipliers! She also made the decision that eight cores and 16 threads would become the industry standard for laptops and desktops! These are major strategic decisions which made her a hero to computer buyers!
You seem really intent in your comments on this post to conflate drug addiction and homelessness, which are overlapping but definitely separate issues.

Also, there are housing assistance programs for everyone who makes less than a certain amount of money, and I think everyone who advocates for more housing for the homeless would agree with more affordable housing in general. Mostly people who work in this space agree that housing costs are the primary driver of homelessness.

> Wow we sure threw that one out the window with the covid 19 vaccine didn't we?

No, we have not.

Also, it's completely asinine to compare voluntary vaccination by an incredibly safe vaccine in the middle of a pandemic that claimed millions of lives, with forced medical experiments often resulting in deaths.
mine too. at least the box (with pi inside) makes a good stand for a mesh node.
Yes, the two problems really can solve each other. Or should I say: they could solve each other. But they won't, will they? Because the positives all happen to a small group of people (those who already own everything) and the negatives all happen to a different, much larger group of people (those now-worthless poorsies). Our problem is what it has always been: asshole human psychopaths that hoard orders of magnitude more wealth than they could ever spend at the expense of everyone else.
Mojo is not at all specialised for CPU. It sits on top of MLIR and excellent support for all major accelerators is planned.
I think it’s harder for people to see it that way when there’s means testing. Also when you’re at the just-better-than free tier, but paying full price.

I think that’s the nice thing about UBI. It’s a little different to rail against u employed people getting $1,000 a month when you’re also getting $1,000 a month.
There are no original compilers of SCUMM script available online as far as I know, although certainly Ron Gilbert and Aaron Giles and probably some other LucasArts programmers have the originals.

I don't think there were even any samples of the original scripts online when ScummC was developed so it can be forgiven for not matching the original format :)
No, that's anarchy. A free market is one where market forces are allowed to work. A market captured by monopolists and anti-competitive agreements is not free at all.

Take a small market store selling product A and product B. Whichever sells more at a given price wins more profit, great. Free market forces are at work. But then (anything goes, after all) the manufacture for A comes in and says to the store owner: if you sell product B we'll firebomb your market and kill your dog. So then the small market stops selling product B. Now, the small market only sells product A and at a huge markup.

Is product A actually better? Does the consumer win?

Regulations are necessary so the manufacture of A can't do that and make sure that the market is actually free.
I recently reread The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich which was written a long, long time ago. But the author had paid his dues by reading all this, when it was a lot harder to get at than it is now.

It issue is that their claim that the cause of the exploit is the propriety OS, is both not plausible (because otherwise Android would be far more secure than iOS), and is inconsistent with their alleged expertise.

It’s entirely possible that they are experts, but are making making a claim that is not based on their expertise, for reasons of political and marketing expediency.
Red Hat to Stop Shipping LibreOffice in Future Releases of RHEL
Let’s also recognize that if you are a home owner and especially if you also have a mortgage, you are already benefiting from massive government subsidies and “handouts”. An enormously valuable one is the exemption for capital gains taxes on primary residences. Or the ability to deduct mortgage interest and property taxes from your taxable income. The list is long and represents huge sums of money.

The amount of tax revenue forgone by the government for the capital gains exemption alone surely dwarfs the money it would take to provide affordable housing for many people. To salt the wound further, these benefits turn home ownership into a lucrative investment vehicle that drives up prices, worsening the crisis!
Is there some referrer field in the RDP protocol handshake that I'm not aware of?

There is a new class of entrepreneurs right now on Fiverr. They use AI to cover for their deficiencies and they use AI to become above average at many office jobs. They can single-handedly out compete corporations.

In the 1990's the meme was "On the Internet nobody knows you're a dog." Everyone wanted to start a business but needed 30 more degrees to learn everything they needed to know. Today the training and help is provided by AI.
