Seattle's growth in public transit ridership is the best in the nation (or at least was up to 2017) [0]. I remember one year Seattle and Minneapolis were the only two cities in the nation to have a drop in car commuters. NYC has way more density but it's a decaying system. NYC could start backing bus rapid transit to make it time-competitive with the subway and it would probably be both a better experience and save the city a lot of money.

> aside from a few trivial things like the container spying on process id numbers on the host

Containers with own PID namespace can't spy on process IDs on the host though? Not sure what you mean here.

> and there isn't as strong W^X protection as desired

What level is desired? Bootup warnings for W^X got merged a while ago. Changes that try to include anything violating it are rejected (see bcachefs).

> Windows, in contrast, is able to provide layered security through a variety of approaches, including running the entire operating system in a virtual machine, with the host ensuring integrity of kernel memory.

What? Xen existed for years, that's not "in contrast". Secureboot and lockdown exists on Linux too. There's also per-service firecracker microvm.

> whereas AppArmor and SELinux are new security features that are patched into the kernel itself

That's very misleading. They're not new - selinux is over 2 decades old. They're also not "patched in" - LSMs have been integrated into Linux for a very long time with multiple implementations available. Selinux had multilabel security created for gov use. It's quite impressive actually.

Maybe watch the video. Artists have to eat, and they relied on patronage and commissions. The church and the nobles were the only ones with the free cash and the motivation to fund artists and their creations for much of the Christian age in Europe, regardless of their looks.

But also: something changed in the 16th century: do you contend that the monarchs suddenly got uglier to the point that artists didn't want to paint them anymore?
That’s a great starting point. But how would you handle it if you were on a main thoroughfare with 4.5 tonne EVs rolling through from, and to, parts unknown?

Epic Systems was founded in 1979. The Affordable Care Act was passed in 2010, and the Health Insurance Marketplace — a market-driven system — opened in 2014. Epic is not the result of "Obamacare".

Also, Epic deals with medical records, while the ACA deals with health insurance. These are two separate domains.
Maybe we interpreted the article differently, but I understood this point as favouring a few "big" classes/interfaces/functions, as opposed to a lot of "small" classes.
> WFH is the best way to reclaim time that we presently have.

Is it? WFH is great for many reasons but the normalization of WFH is also bringing a lot of pressure for more hours. Some (many?) companies are using those hours you are no longer commuting to do more meetings.

Nobody (at least in Silicon Valley) would do 8am meetings because commutes made that impractical. But if you're sitting at home already.. hey let's meet at 8am.

Everyone had to leave the office at 5 to 5:30 to go sit in traffic. But now you're home already, so let's run this meeting to 6:30 or 7pm. You're not commuting after all, let's be productive with the time.
Thank you. It won’t be detailed like some of these blogs, haha.

For increased safety, I've settled on using software that is open source, has a paid version, or is from one of the usual suspects.
This is from March 1998, and predates JVM 1.2 which introduced strictfp (which is important because JVM was otherwise numerically IEEE 754 compliant before strictfp). I believe the core point of this talk has not been "fixed" [1] because it completely missed the problem with IEEE 754 global states. Like, the talk says:

A flag is a type of global variable raised as a side-effect of exceptional floating-point operations. Also
it can be sensed, saved, restored and lowered by a program. When raised it may, in some systems,
serve an extra-linguistic diagnostic function by pointing to the first or last operation that raised it.

Any modern programmer knows that side effects are, while inevitable, hard to tame and some discipline is needed. Pure functional programming, mutable XOR shared, software transactional memory, you name it. This part of talk completely handwaves a difficulty of side effects and forces every language to be handcuffed with those global states and side effects. No good.

[1] Joe Darcy, one of the students of William Kahan, later went to Sun to improve fp support in Java; see https://web.archive.org/web/20090402234711/http://blogs.sun.... and https://web.archive.org/web/20100224062224/http://blogs.sun.... for example. But his work was more about library supports AFAIK.

I was unaware that Java finally got rid of strictfp (though happy that it finally did). It was added in Java 1.2, perhaps in response to this paper, though I don't know the entire timeline accurately.
Wish this was more common. I really want to build a collection of such "unhinged religious text" commits. Right now I only know of one example: the mpv locale commit.

Got to be honest, HN is the last place I expected to read the 12% line in. Hope this triggers some moderation inquiries to make sure it does not evolve into something worse.

Okay so survival of the fittest-type thing. Essential services such as hospitals, schools, electricity, etc would have to handle their own fundraising and would live and die by their performance in the market. Competing for mindshare with Wendys and Facebook could be tricky, but yeah, I’m a believer that people are fundamentally good and I reckon we could find a way to make it work.

Would we need any coordination at all, you reckon? After a time, would people say, “hey, these hospitals shouldn’t have to go cap-in-hand every month looking for funds, we should set something up to make sure they get what they need”, or no coordination at all?

And what about “businesses” that inherently aren’t very profitable? Let’s say there are two schools in town - one profitable and one not. The profitable one is profitable because it optimises for profits. The unprofitable one optimises for things that are harder to measure - student experience, community, etc. Would people choose to help fund the unprofitable one out of their own pockets when there was another option that’s profitable? What would be the consequences of that over time?

And finally, how about bad actors - companies that produce a dangerous product that kills or harms people, or that negligently fail to maintain a nuclear power station? Or just really big, heavy cars that tear up roads and the planet and kill people more often than the alternatives. How would we handle such actors, or would we just not handle them - let the free market sort it out?
And air
Yeah I kinda conflated two things there. One thing is that do I do poke at things a lot, I regularly run Sysinternals autoruns just out of curiosity -- which also "can potentially break windows" (what can't?), poke around in Process Explorer or even run Process Monitor occasionally to just filter out everything for which I know the reason, to see what else is going on. I remove stuff from context menus I don't want there, you name it. All those little things do add up, even if it just reduces the number of things I have to scroll past when doing other things. But I admit that I mostly enjoy doing it.

But while SSD changed everything obviously, in addition to daily partition-based backups I also make manual backups to my NAS with FreeFileSync, just so I don't have to restore full disks when I only want to pull a few files from the backup. While FFS is crazy fast checking for changed files, all those orphaned files are still not free... it's not about the size so much as about the number of files, doubly so when it goes over the network. I also rather often search my whole system for stuff, and there too, files and directories that don't exist are the quickest to search.

I wouldn't want to keep them around in the same way I wouldn't want to run a script that puts 100k tiny files with random content all over the place. Because it's just a pointless waste. And since I enjoy the process, I don't count the time I am using on that, so in my mind, I'm being frugal in a weird, misguided sort of way... I know I could spend the time to make more money and then just buy another HD, but I don't wanna :P

Accumulated is a strange word choice. Just to be clear, while I'm not a fan of her recent performance as CEO, Baker wrote the Mozilla Public License, was running Mozilla as its General Manager in 1999, and was there pretty much since day one (her corporate bio calls her a co-founder which might be an embellishment, but only slightly).

I think she's the wrong person for the job and the Foundation is more about pushing left-wing politics now than it is about developing software (as in literally, they've been cutting their budget for software development, and giving the money to a bunch of left wing non-tech stuff instead). Credit where credit is due though she is not a "parasite" who just rocked up out of nowhere.

Good. If journalists had been doing their job for the last 15 years they would not need federal intervention to force other businesses to fund them, they would not need subsidies, and we would not have these incompetent politicians and these repeated failures on almost every level of government.

Journalists need to do their job for subscribers and the public:

* Keep an updated profile on every elected official, judge, journalists, high level clerk, private entities and their owners who work for government and who get money from government.

* Keep track of the MONEY by providing analysis and correlations of potential misbehaving officials.

* Who voted for what and how it conflicts with their promises for the term.

* Every statement from elected official and how it conflicts with previous statements, corresponding retractions or post mortems.

* Previous and future employment history of elected officials to root out ethicsless individuals.

* There's a very long list of accountability measures journalists should be providing to make them worth their weight but they do only the above with extreme ideological selectiveness which nullifies it all. It needs to be done in full for them all of them to be objective and to get Canadians to subscribe to them.

> This can’t be true, I thought again. How can one limit me from singing a song at the park I heard earlier?

When we talk about policies for things like copyright we must always acknowledge this problem. Copyright is a way to fund art and in some ways it's been remarkably successful at that. But it was conceived as an intentional abridgement of our natural freedom to share, in order to reward creators. If we can keep it like that, it doesn't need to be ludicrously long term like it is today. And infringement absolutely should not be a criminal act like it is in some countries or trade pacts.
You also broke the site guidelines repeatedly in this thread. Please don't get sucked into tit-for-tat flamewars, regardless of how bad some other comments are or you feel they are. That's also not what this site is for.

You can include Post Media, TorStar, Quebecor and other media in the list of those lobbying for this.

It's part Canadian protectionism and part desperate ploy to prop up a few large failed media business models.

Canada has a long history of protectionist measures. The shocking part of the bill is the way it exposes the complete technical incompetence of the government. There are many ways to extract a pound of flesh, implementing your tax in a way that is fundamentally incompatible with the web is inexcusable. It will hurt Canada's efforts to be a tech leader.
> I believe in listening to experts (but ultimately making an informed decision).

The whole point of consulting a professional is so they can provide you with the necessary information to make important decisions. It's up to them to explain things to you so that you understand well enough to make an informed decision.

Unsatisfactory, meandering answers means you aren't getting the information you need to decide and you should absolutely seek another professional until you find one you trust. In fact, when we don't know something, the professional thing to do is to admit it and refer you to another professional who does.

Also, Zoom participants receive an in-meeting notice or a Chat Compose pop-up when these features are enabled through our UI, and they will definitely know their data may be used for product improvement purposes.
