Yes, I'm making a reference to the time when these massive residential building projects began as a juxtaposition for today. The costs of just becoming a renter today are similar to what it took to own a home previously. Zoning is not irrelevant it is the absolute cause of these areas essentially becoming Special Economic Zones which are now, in historic fashion, about to flounder and fade unless the powers that be command workers back to the office, back to the commute, back to the grind.

So? LA is a desert and requires the rest of the region to support their needs; which is really just their real estate values through sustained population growth - which would otherwise not happen without sucking H2O from everywhere else. Knock down the buildings and repurpose the materials for other areas then; though people will claim that's not "profitable" either so it will just be melted, crushed and buried instead of repurposed.

Converting buildings creates jobs! Isn't that the point of much of this, job creation so we can keep all these devious little beings busy? Jobs means they can afford the new constructs. Even at increased costs, how many of these buildings are paid off? How many change hands as a means of transferring debt, buying out equity and essentially playing a Fastowian shell game? The idea that, "we can't profit off that" is absurd given how much the governments of this country subsidize profitability for the people who are wrecking so much.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/420_(cannabis_culture)

> In 1971, five high school students in San Rafael, California,[5][6] used the term "4:20" in connection with a plan to search for an abandoned cannabis crop, based on a treasure map made by the grower.[7][8] Calling themselves the Waldos,[9][10] because their typical hang-out spot "was a wall outside the school",[11] the five students—Steve Capper, Dave Reddix, Jeffrey Noel, Larry Schwartz, and Mark Gravich[12]—designated the Louis Pasteur statue[13] on the grounds of San Rafael High School as their meeting place, and 4:20 pm as their meeting time.[11] The Waldos referred to this plan with the phrase "4:20 Louis". After several failed attempts to find the crop, the group eventually shortened their phrase to "4:20", which ultimately evolved into a code-word the teens used to refer to consuming cannabis.[7]

Security seems to be missing entirely from the requirements, for one thing. Access control as well.
Meh, it's not Red Hat. Configuration management tools do this. Chef is similar.
Also applies in Germany. Infact, every contract I have(had) includes a special clauses “40 hours per week, not including any lunch or break hours…”. However, I see my colleagues spending 2-3h each day on coffee/lunch break and doing actual work for ~3-4h and then going home. Only people I’ve seen religiously maintaining that 40h/week are consultants/contractors/HR.

Yes. Most of them.

It’s such an important lesson for informed people, and tech people, especially, to learn: our context is absolutely not the common one. Things that are obvious and clear to us are a world away for most others.
I’m a dev and I’m sympathetic to PMs. In the end the constant change in requirements doesn’t come from them, but from the business. And while I appreciate some don’t do the bare minimum pushback on absurd requirements/demands, I also understand that in the end their career is tied to what the business think of them, not the devs they manage. It’s just the way it is.
As I like to say, Vim is the best of both worlds because it combines vi's legendary ease of use with the small footprint of Emacs. :)

People like vim because they get used to the commands. It will take effort and practice for you to get used to vim's way of working and arcane command set. But that's true of every editor. It's certainly true of Emacs, which I use most often for programming, and it's even true of Visual Studio Code. I find the hill I need to climb to reach a proficiency plateau in VSCode is just too steep, and said plateau is not as high as it would be in Emacs because I can automate and extend Emacs as I use it... so I end up harrumphing back to Emacs every time I try giving VSCode a serious chance.

It's up to you to decide whether the power of vim is worth the effort to learn it. It's probably not going anywhere no matter what you choose. Just use what you feel comfortable with and don't worry about the greener grass in some other editor's yard.

// If only politicians had an iota of strategy

Strategy requires a goal. Naively your goal might be to house more people.

NYC tried that with lots of projects built in the mid 20th century. True it provided apartments for a number of people during that time. However the projects were a terrible dangerous place to grown-up and many who grew up in them weren't able to enter mainstream society (and thus then subsequent generation requires even more such housing)

Meanwhile the areas near these projects are also dangerous and blighted - doing that at scale would condemn the entire downtown and send the city into a tax death spiral.
Aren't these countries both in the EU? I'd expect an EU-wide scale.
I use US AQI, and hadn't really realized that many countries have their own measurement. I also usually look at µg/m3 of PM2.5, which is a universal standard, but of course doesn't tell the whole story of air quality.
Yeah, definitely depends on use case. Few extra bits (that you lose on very simple frontend that doesn't have that many input levels to choose from) is nice for audio stuff, and all in one package makes some tasks much easier vs cobbling together same setup from separate hardware.

I could see a lot of use out of it in setting a test jigs, as you can both generate and receive signal while having some digital IO to control DUT/the testing jig.

If I was doing audio stuff only and had to choose I'd probably pick this over a scope then just make a jig with a bunch of sockets common to audio stuff.

But for more generic stuff, eh, scope gonna give you soo much more.
The danger of manipulation through propaganda is indeed an argument used in political discourse, though in reasonable discussions when talking about direct and indirect democracy. The layers of parliamentary systems are partly a means of protection against manipulations. If you want to read an interesting and nice to read book that partly talks about this, then I'd recommend Profiles in Courage by John F. Kennedy.

Though a consumer decision is not the same as a political vote, at least the latter is not supposed to be similarly thoughtless, so there is no need to interpret my comment that broadly.
> pyramid scheme that only works until you run out of undeveloped land.

The whole point of a pyramid scheme is they don't create value.

Developing the undeveloped is a productive contibution to the economy. Solving the housing crisis is a productive activity

You have to create high-density housing, apartments, and local amenities. Pulling expensive underground rail tlinto a group of suburban homes is a waste

I'm of the opinion that most programs should get their config files explicitly from the command line. None of that ~/.apprc or $APP_PORT=8080. That's inconvenient for tools you use often, like ls or grep. If they read config files, an option like --ls-config would be very welcome.
To be fair audit logging was mentioned, just don't log the secrets!
Interesting, I consider those kinds of delusions a bug not a feature. So my takeaway would be more "People are weird".
The part where Apple can (or is courageous enough) to plop large caches and other otherwise "trivial but expensive" performance enhancements is the critical point. The vertical integration also means that they get to design the parameters of the planned device instead of how Qualcomm or Samsung end up making compromises for market share

I talked about my statement with a friend the other day and was able to consolidate my stance.

On an intuitive level software seems like a tool to me. Latin had much more gramatical rules than todays English but that doesn't mean it "devolved" or that English isn't as powerful as Latin.

Blockchain is a mathematical idea and software the tool to use it. And LLMs are much more about statistical problem solving enabled through more computing power than about inventing something new.

And correct me if I'm wrong but aren't virtual threads fast enough also because of more computational power? A virtual machine is usually 1/3 times slower than the native machine it runs on.
HN/Reddit is a bit of a bubble. Most people trust Google just fine with their files.
The Xbox line goes: Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox One X, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X.

The kids may know and understand this, but parents may not. If you go to a store today, you will only find the latter two, and you won’t have an issue picking the one your kid asked for (i.e. the X). But when both generations were on sale, the parent might end up buying "One X" instead of "Series X" because it’s cheaper, or buying "360" instead of "One" because it’s clearly bigger (by 359 no less).

If the govt can scoop up all CRE, then wouldn't government also be able to work loopholes around code? An executive order is all it takes tbh. I'm certain a sincere homeless person doesn't give a rats ass about whether his home has a window or not. As for building safety, high rise office buildings tend to be high up wrt safety codes.
So there should be a different tool used which will intercept environment variables reads and will log them.

How is it a ponzi scheme? There is actual real estate being bought, sold and rented.

What has happened is that demand for office space has dropped dramatically.

The proper market reaction is to spend the money to convert these office spaces to some other use, perhaps residential.

Then these properties will more likely find tenants.
Yeah I think the problem is MSFT being directly involved in the game. I think the better model for them would be if they just sprinkled money on studio's with ambition. It's like the movie business, there'll be misses, but there'll be big wins.

> For them, ignoring everyday risks is an essential part of navigating life.

Oh this is totally a thing, and it's kind of interesting... there are two kinds of people when it comes to fear, the first does not acknowledge many of the activities they do regularly as risky and so don't experience fear at all (key difference), and the second set of people do experience varying degrees of fear.

You can pass from the first into the second or start in the second, you've taken the red pill so to speak. At this point remaining petrified is not useful, it increases risk, realising this you then can then learn how to exist in a state of fear and maintain mental clarity. Next, depending on the activity, you can also learn to modulate it through experience and perspective. e.g when you "should" and shouldn't be scared, varies greatly with the route the conditions, your physical condition, technical skill, and experience and being aware and mindful of your own ability... this is one reason people solo, to "tune" their fear, because it should feel scary, but plenty of protected routes shouldn't.

The funny thing is someone in the first category can appear much like an experienced person in the second category, but one is oblivious, and one is very attuned to their fear and thus more likely to survive, it's only people in the middle that are scared out of their mind.

But to be clear I'm not saying this applies in this climber's case, he was mostly likely very attuned to the risks, but gaining higher and higher tolerance and pushing those to the edge for other reasons.
What's with these comments who can't possibly conceive why a certain product is popular and in use. Convenience, sharing, application integration, recovery, 2FA, passkey, SSH agent integration, the list goes on. LastPass is kind of bad considering their avoidable security snafus, but there are more reputable vendors out there.

Yes, you can roll your own, but that's not a scalable solution if you're an org or have requirements that lay outside using a Textfile.
Large-scale simulations of phisical systems tend to have a variety of length/time scales that require vast numbers of CPUs to model in a timely fashion. This could be anywhere from a few hundred cpus to tens of thousands. Fluid dynamics, solid mechanics, fluid-structure interactions, electrohydrodynamics, etc. simulation tools can all benefit from having a larger number of highly interconnected CPUs, we can simply resolve engineering problems better with more computational resources for better understanding of problems.

I don’t think GPT is really reasoning on that level. In addition, that would mean that you can’t write a password generator in most languages, because most languages don’t give you any strict randomness guarantees. Yet I bet GPT would be happy to write a password generator in C or Python.
Thank you! I've studied WW2 much more in comparison to modern warfare and sometimes I forget the changes.
I've found strace | grep "open" particularly useful for locating config files. They're usually opened right at the start of the program as well.

(For reference, strace prints out every system call used by a program with the arguments that were called; occasionally, a program may use something other than `open` or `fopen` to read in a file, so that should be kept in mind when using this method)

I don't like the term 'carrying' because it refers to a superficial aspect of the method (that you carry the number from one place to another) rather than the essence of the operation.

The term 'borrowing' never made sense to me.

Singapore Math uses the term 'regrouping' which makes a lot more sense: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrDIf3YmNFc

When you add, 15+6, you add 5+6 to get 11, and then you regroup the 11 ones into 1 ten and 1 one.

When you subtract 21-6, you regroup the 2 tens into 1 ten and 10 ones. With the original 1 one, you now have 11 ones. Then you subtract the 6 from the 11 ones to get 5 as the last digit.
Why would Sony refuse to allow diablo 4, or call of duty for that matter, to appear on the PlayStation? The most contentious thing about the entire activision deal is the titles that currently release on PlayStation becoming exclusive to Microsoft platforms, there’s no chance Sony would ever block those games from their platform arbitrarily just silly business move.

>Apparently some of the other profs were not in the loop about the arxiv submission though

Sounds more like they're throwing the one senior prof under the bus to protect their own faces; saying 'I didn't agree to preprint submission' would be the first excuse I'd come up with.

At that point, they had been majorly involved in the research, if they were not involved in the preprinting they must have seen several drafts at least, at which point they could've asked to get taken out. But they didn't do that, and that's telling.
It's probably safe to say that 99% of people using this sort of password manager don't know what emacs and vim are, and additionally use their cell phone for most of their online computing.

If you look at it from the opposite perspective the value is clear - this isn't a tool for people who can generate and store their own passwords, it's a tool for people who got their Facebook hacked because they used the same password for everything for years and hey, this app can help avoid that mom, let me show you how.
What are they doing that you can't do?

Browser and phone integration: autofill, autoupdate. You can do that too, but it’s not a trivial effort. It’s important because otherwise users will sacrifice security for convenience.

Lastpass also knows how to autochange for some sites. It was hard to lose when I left.
I don't see why it wouldn't. You're probably thinking of just Candy Crush and company but I have games like Final Fantasy 7 and Baldur's Gate on the iPhone. Though more interesting from a money standpoint would be major online games like Fortnite and League of Legends on the iPhone.

Every time I want to play a game I have to consider if I want to bust out my laptop, turn on my TV system, or just swipe over to a game on the phone I'm already holding.

Well, I suppose I am glad they are showing concern for safety, or at least the safety of their brand.

But I think that the elephant in the room is the actual nutritional value of Clif bars and similar kinds of "protein/energy" bars that are often sold by the case in "health food stores".

Because every time I inspect the ingredients list of these bars, they measure up as candy bars. They are junk food. They are highly processed and absolutely loaded with sugar. They may contain some wholesome ingredients which are overshadowed by the need for shelf stability and a thick glaze of chocolate shell.

Protein/energy bars may indeed be acceptable "sometimes foods" for hikers with weight-carrying restrictions, marathoners, or someone otherwise engaging in strenuous sports, but then again, maybe they should just have a good dinner of spaghetti and meatballs the night before.

The people who really purchase these bars on a regular basis are people who snack on them throughout the week, or bring them to their office job or pack them in kids' school lunches. And those are the last people who need a snack food that is highly processed and loaded with sugar and preservatives.
"people" don't know what is Emacs, vim, tr or urandom for any reasonable definition of "people".

I work for a company that makes a password manager, and at least one clear benefit, versus copy/pasting from somewhere, even for tech savvy users is phishing resistance (the password manager browser extension should not fill your password on a website which doesn't match the website associated with that credential) which is how password gets stolen in practice when they are not reused (not re-using is the main benefit of a PM, but your home-made system does solve that issue too)

They are other benefits more on the convenience side (mobile as you mentioned and even not having to switch app each time you need to grab a password...) which matters more for most people than security (or so they believe at least)
> The forced logout + MFA resync events are taking place as we increase all customer's password iterations.

Typically you just need to wait for a user to log in, then validate the password against the old hash and create a new stronger replacement hash. Ending all sessions is a good way to log everyone out and force that. But I'm confused.

If weak password hashes were leaked, then the passwords need to be changed too. Increasing the rounds doesn't prevent attacks on the previously leaked weak hashes. Maybe they expect everyone already did that but some people did it before they increased the hash rounds?

The MFA reset shouldn't be related to the increase in hash rounds, those are unrelated. So they must suspect the MFA seeds were also stolen, but aren't saying it, right?
