Eh. More and more native software is being replaced by web versions (or versions that run inside a webview). I’d argue that is going to be the more important compatibility test in the coming years.
>too complicated for a computer

Too complicated for most humans too. I've seen human drivers t-boned by fire trucks and ambulances. Have had near misses myself a couple times. The solution is not "intuition and social cues" but better technology and instrumentation and especially Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communication (V2V) which all emergency vehicles (and eventually all vehicles) should have.
Not really, the average user doesn't give a shit about backwards compatibility, they care about being able to create slideshows and send emails. Windows will dominate for the foreseeable future because of deals with manufacturers.
Depends on the design/typology. Uniform rowhouses can often look very beautiful--take any number of streets in Brooklyn Heights, or the newer projects by Peter Barber in London. It's not "repetition" as a general principle that's unappealing, it's the particular execution that's so common in cheap sprawl developments.
I have had the same thoughts. I am writing about your idea:

Liability waivers are far from bullet proof. Gross negligence will invalidate it. For example, if your rollercoaster kills someone.

A judge can decide claims that were made publicly by the company will override the actual contract. (Or decide they didn't specify the risk clearly enough.)

Tesla solves that by explicitly giving the driver the responsibility to maintain control of the vehicle. That doesn't apply here.
Do you have a source for this?

The relevant UK Highway Code section begins (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/the-highway-code/general-rules-t... ) with the following:

> The rules in The Highway Code do not give you the right of way in any circumstance, but they advise you when you should give way to others. Always give way if it can help to avoid an incident.

Of course we should give way to emergency vehicles, and take care of ourselves. I was simply challenging the op about emergency vehicles having right of way. I don't believe that's the case in my country (UK) and I was politely asking if it was true in theirs.
That's an extremely naive view of the enforcement layer. You're ignoring all the rules surrounding due process, arrest, searches, etc. To use the murder analogy, the equivalent is if a cop says "you're under arrest for murder" and you're jailed for life with no trial.
And in the context of "put the Job Corps Center where the affiliated jobs are", it makes perfect sense. The "Seattle area" center is similarly placed in a lumber town, more than hour's drive (without traffic) from the Seattle.

All I'm saying is that the assertion that there's one in every major city is pretty wide of the mark.
Unfortunately I never got around to writing it down and as it has been running pretty much unattended for the past three years it is not fresh in my mind.

The gist is that since it is a router only (switch and access point are external appliances) it is not that difficult, there are plenty of resources on the web explaining how to turn a linux box into a router. I had to configure a bit of nftables, dhcpd, dnsmask and stubby and that's pretty much it.

The server is a standard PC Engines APU4 and the modem in the mPCIe slot is an Huawei ME906s.

As I alluded earlier, the hardest part is finding a good modem and getting it to work. Once the modem shows up as a network interface the hard part is done.
> 600k/year

That makes it sound as if it's 600k each year. It isn't - that's the figure for 2022. The figure for 2019 is 180k. Supposedly, the 2022 figure is inflated by official programmes encouraging immigration from Hong Kong and Ukraine.
Well, most of the time we're working in Dart/Flutter. I admit that a debugger seems useful for race conditions on the back end. However, when I do systems programming in my free time in Rust or Haskell, I would try to prevent these issues which to my knowledge the languages should do by default unless you're using unsafe Rust or Haskell. So is a debugger in this case not just a bandaid?

Perhaps this is why I've never needed a debugger: prevention is the best cure.
At some point we perhaps need to ask ourselves if packing an ever growing number of people in ever denser and taller buildings is a positive.
CDK defaults are too default, and you still have CFN in the end, which you have to view and approve anyway.
I remember hearing that Windows 7 (XP?) had some code specifically to support the original SimCity game in it.
That’s not true. The Airbnb industrial complex is mature, “locals” renting out a spare room have been replaced by profiteers evading tourism taxes. Ethical tourism involves using locally licensed accommodation (which is mostly hotels).

Any money you save by using Airbnb is pushing the cost of your tourism onto locals. Pay for a hotel (or other licensed accommodation) or stay home.
Right, my question is obviously using the number of miles driven as a denominator.
I'd vote against.

If "The UK should have net migration of at least 600k/year" was on the ballot, which way would you vote?
There's a little more to it. If your original team retires because of old age, that's a lot of wisdom lost. Not everyone wants to learn COBOL to keep planes in the air and the IRS running, imagine needing to figure out the low level code on something millions of miles away with half the hardware broken, the battery cracked and leaking – and if the software update doesn't work, the entire mission is over?

It's altogether amazing.
9x wasn't the only Windows OS.

The path contains the phrase "ntbin". It was compiled for NT.
The NeXTcube and NeXTstation did not come in diskless configs.

Diskless may have been an option when NeXT software was detached from NeXT hardware, though.
Of course an Apple fanboy shows up with this comment.
ChromeOS on a tablet is a perfectly fine experience, gesture navigation and all.

(And, very important to me, runs a "real browser", not some limited mobile variant. And the full Linux CLI environment.)
Yeah, so "JPEG XL might have patent issues" in itself is a statement which doesn't mean anything.

So we either interpret it to mean, "JPEG XL is more likely to have patent issues than the alternatives (AVIF, WebP, whatever)", in which case capableweb's question is totally fair -- or we interpret it to be a bad-faith attempt at derailing the conversation.
The fact that there is no Windows 11 version with NTVDM is why this must be a Win32 console app, assuming the poster is truthful. Windows NT 3.1 came out in 1993. This being in a directory called “ntbin” gives another hint.
Why a Major ‘Population Correction’ Is Inevitable
In my experience, it's very rare that there is a self-imposed and pointless complication that prevents a real problem being reduced to an academically tractable one, and far more common that there is a second-rate programmer on the team who thinks there is.
These older games will all work in 640kb so the fix would likely just have been to fence off 640kb completely from other apps while SimCity was running.
> A system that signals the location of any actively flashing vehicles to all nearby automated cars is technically achievable.

That may be technically achievable, but the very nature of emergency vehicle responses makes relying on such a system impractical and even undesirable.

First responder vehicles already have an audible and visible signal for other road users to be aware that something is on the road which must have absolute priority, may break some or all of the rules, may move in unexpected ways, and may need to actively negotiate with other road users to ensure it can get past. Emergency responders should not need to rely on technologically fallible automated positioning systems just to ensure others don't get in their way.

It is self-driving cars who must adapt to the unpredictability of emergencies and unforseen events that may happen on the road, and not emergency vehicles who must become predictable and consistent in their responses to adapt to the limitations of self-driving cars.
I'd imagine it would.be really hard to discover correlations for this. Doctors ask if you're a smoker, not a diet coke drinker.
This is in effect the regime in the UK for example. The incumbent Telco, BT Openreach, are regulated to offer "last mile" for the same fee to their closely related customer business BT and to third parties.

In rural areas BT are required to offer service, if you live somewhere really crazy (like up a mountain) they can make you pay costs, but they can't say "No". On the other hand in a city where a dozen outfits might want to run cable, BT automatically are allowed, everybody else needs to get an OK.

It's not perfect but it means that for the actual Internet stuff it's irrelevant, everybody can get a choice, I pay a lot for great customer service, static IPv4 and v6 and zero censorship, there are cheaper options, there are options with so-called "unlimited" usage, but the choice doesn't impact the cable in the ground.

Because I live in a city I could buy faster but crappier service from a cable company, or a dedicated fibre Internet company but that wouldn't be an option in a village somewhere.

And yes, nobody is building new copper. If a company tells you fibre is too expensive they're telling you they can't afford to be a Telco, they're a badly run business, chances are the unacceptable costs are in their C-suite not buried in the street.
Nice. OpenBSD does something similar, with the difference being that there are no exemptions for specific software—they expect developers to fix their broken programs.
In my opinion it could be solved by simply making it more attractive to have children, but it would require more equality and redistribution of wealth to cover the costs. There would still be billionaires, but the number of ultra-rich may be reduced.

Women wants careers and equal opportunities. That means they wait longer and longer before they get children because they want to make sure they have a career to go back to. That is the single most important problem that we need to solve.

1. Provide a decent parental leave (1 year minimum) with full pay.

2. Women often end up as the primary care giver who has to take care of the child when it is sick or attend parental meetings. This often hurts their career. We should incentivise men to take an equal part in raising a child, so that this is more accepted in work situations.

3. Provide free child care and health care. Many simply can't afford the additional financial burden of a child.

4. Provide free education including University. (see point 3)

5. Reduce the financial risk by creating a good safety net. If one or both of the parents are not able to cover their part, the government needs to provide enough support.

Simply put, the choice of having a child should not hurt families financially, or hurt their careers. Humans are "programmed" to want to reproduce, so if we remove the financial barriers

Yes, this will be expensive but it will be less expensive than a future without enough young people to take care of the old.

You are free to ask "Why should my money go to others", but then you don't get to complain when you are 90 years old and only get to shower once a month because they don't have enough people to help you.
XP games don't work on Win7. Doubt they fixed it for Win10 or whatever the current version is.
Install system malware - wait for next login (which will be soon, since the short session is forcing repeated logins) send session token to myself.

Done. Now I have an active session. Don't give a fuuuuck about that 2fa device.
The deaf use devices with a microphone that translates sirens into a visual signal. It is not burdensome to ask self-driving cars to have microphones.

Locking down Jira tickets isn’t enterprise sec, so that’s not what I’m referring to.

This risks that happen that lead into bad exploits for startups and the controls available:

- SaaS vendor is breached and doesn’t tell you for a week: okta allows you to cleanly kill perks for that SaaS, and impacted users

- dev downloads a database access package on vscode, puts in prod creds, the package is calling home bc it’s surprise malware: EDR catches it

- dev has prod passwords on their MacBook note sheets, or accessing prod from a home computer: process enforcement, password manager, secrets vault

- customer service employee is phished, pivots into customer data: IR plans and email security tools

- product m API is “move fast and break things” and full of vulns: except for the worst of them, get a WAF/cloud flare to cover and be careful about public endpoints beyond that.

The above secures a product with limited bandwidth and a small security team, if you’re thinking defense in depth (which you should be).

It’s important for sec engs to code, no doubt. Two things to note that I think you’re missing, putting aside issues if your sec team is doing Jira ticket focuses vs the above.

- code vulns are paired with exploit paths. If a WAF is there, and the code doesn’t pivot into prod DBs and so on, these can wait to remediate.

- Have you tried remediating code vulns or getting application logs for security, at a product-focused startup? Devs are the worst enemy here. Anything touching the code is “slowing the product” usually. Security is a political job and this is an easy way to burn all your social capital if you chase each of vuln.

In short, you’re thinking about vulns, but not threat models. Startup sec program is all about smart thread modeling.
The biggest problem with system programming for me is that it is very often fully dependent on C / C++ world

I wish we could get rid of that dependency and move to some better technology.

There aren't many compilers-related jobs that don't rely on C++, sadly.

Rust is promising as hell here.
XKCD is relevant as a historical reference in this case which is pretty neat.

Delivery by camels or donkeys is the next uber.
All true, but the point at which web dev more generally moved to CSS over tables was considerably later, not least because early CSS was pretty hard to find resources on and work effectively with. Firebug helped a lot from 2005 on, as of course also the browser-native devtools it inspired, but in 2007 it remained far from a surprise to see sites built in what was then still a current, if not the latest, style.
This and /r/awww and such are nice, and we need more warm-fuzzies. But I see this article citing a lot of science, and then dropping the ball on causation.
As does the BBC.
We've started hosting monthly "spaghetti and meatball nights" and invite almost everyone we know, including all the neighbors. We often get 30 people, but spaghetti and meatballs scale trivially so it's not hard to host. It's been tremendous for building community.
The average ICE car uses ~4.6T CO2 per year (in gasoline).

The average electric car costs about ~9T CO2 to build.

Electricity in the US & the EU is currently ~60% fossil fuels.

Electric cars get >2x MPGe of the average ICE car.

So if you say the average car drives ~15k miles to produce ~4.6T CO2. The average electric car driven on ~100% fossil fuels for the same amount of miles would generate less than ~2.3T CO2. Since it's only 60% fossil fuels, it's ~60% of that = ~1.38T CO2.

Payoff is in about 3.33 years.

In ~20 years, when we get to ~10-15% of electricity coming from fossil fuel, the payoff would be only 2.2 years.

Sure, if you're driving a Toyota Prius now, and only putting on ~5k miles per year - you should probably just keep it til it falls apart.

Until we get to like <30% of electricity coming from fossil fuels - I'm not sure we should be encouraging people to needlessly upgrade their car to electric (unless they're getting like 12 miles to the gallon and driving 30k+ miles per year).

But, ideally, everyone would be thinking about getting at least a PHEV for their next car when they do upgrade.
> the best time to post is early morning on a Monday

In what time zone? Also, I would guess that traffic on /show might actually be higher at other times, as procrastinators look for something to do. On Monday morning they have plenty of regular news to read, whereas on a Wednesday afternoon there might be less content out there competing for their eyeballs.

In my case, a post on a Thursday just before noon worked out very well, landing us on the front page and (I later learned) making us the 9th-most-upvoted Show HN. [1]

> 60% is "other organic material". I wonder what material is this.

IIRC from the YT video in my top-level comment, it's dirt.

> I also wonder how well the sargassum bricks withstand weather.

dopa42365's comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37176903) links a paper with the following claim:

> Studies carried out by the Secretariat of Ecology and Environment of Quintana Roo state, Mexico, found that the resistance of the bricks is 75–120 kgf/cm2, while its durability can be up to 120 years, regardless of the region or climate type where they are used (Desrochers et al., 2020). Currently there is no other sustainable material as resistant, or with such a long useful life. Sargabricks are therefore seen as a viable and safe material for the creation of ecofriendly buildings.

(edit: But the OP link also contains this 120y assertion. I haven't checked the paper's citations, so I'm not sure if everyone's depending on the cited study's analysis, or if that study is laundering claims by the people making the bricks)
"short session timeouts, such as after 15 minutes of inactivity"

I wish my bank, credit card, brokerage websites gave me 15 minutes of inactivity. It seems most have set it at about 5 minutes. My finances are not trivial so I am often logged out when paying bills, figuring out my budget, planning a big purchase, etc. I don't think there is any way to set it to my preferred value.
I got curious and this is what I found: https://blog.gitnux.com/fire-truck-accident-statistics

If this is to be trusted:
"Only around 2% of all reported motor vehicle accidents involve a fire truck."

It seems not that many, but this too was (for now) just one case, so I don't think we can conclude anything.

The biggest question from me though is that of liability.
I'm kind of ok with driverless vehicles provided there's a human being that's liable if the vehicle kills someone, as happens with driver-full vehicles.
And liable means may be found guilty of manslaughter and go to jail, not pays a fine.
> But I’m fine with that because moving money is something that I’m willing to accept however many roadblocks are thrown at me.

Really? I'd change banks over that. If I log into my e-banking website, the main activity I'm going to do is pay bills. I would absolutely not tolerate having to jump through hoops to do it.
I wonder what material is this.

Maybe old fishing nets and random plastic trash, considering its all recovered from beaches? Heh. Nah, perhaps hay/grass? Not sure what acts as a binding agent, either.

That system exists. That system is the flashing lights! What do you think they're for, decoration? They exist to signal!
> Unless you’re talking about privatized point-to-point travel for public transportation, I’d say I’m rather fond of going directly to my destination and back in less than 10min of drive time.

This is usually a driver's fantasy.

How many times I have waited in a place or been at the office only for people to arrive late complaining of the traffic or not being able to find a place to park?

I think most people want to use individual transportation because of the feeling of control it gives them. They can choose an alternate route, honk, hate and insult other road users, aren't bond to a schedule, choose where they park. Most of the time if you take into account the time it takes to go to their car, exit parking or find parking, they aren't faster or only negligibly so [1]. But they don't feel it because they are feeling they are always active compared to the passive act of sitting in a bus/tramway/subway.

The only users of individual transportation that are on average really faster than public transports in a city with a decent public transport system are motorcycle/moped users and cyclists, and mostly because the former tend to park illegally on the sidewalk.

Regarding cakes and emulsifiers, could it be part of the industrial process to ensure the large volume of liquid ingredients are properly mixed before adding to the dry ingredients? In a small bowl it isn't hard to get the oil and eggs distributed but I can see it getting more difficult at scale.

Almost every iPhone user I know has a distinct unique case. Some cases are designed specifically for wireless charging, some have pop sockets which make it easier to hold, some have clear cases with a photograph inserted between the phone and the back of the case.
I love how clearly this article is written. The author uses a table with the columns being "Initial Motivation for Fine-tuning" and "Why a Base LLM is Sufficient" - exactly what you need to learn why "You probably don’t need to fine-tune LLMs", which precisely the title. Using text to convey something that can be expressed as a table or a chart is just as bad as trying to do math without math notation. Stellar work!
Acronym make elite tier men’s clothing — they’re anything but shallow.
This is Survivorship bias in full swing. The only self-taught developers who would get an interview at a top systems lab, would be ones who have far surpassed the achievements of the average MIT/Stanford grad.

The kind of person who'd shine as a self-taught developer, would be on their way to be distinguished engineer if they'd just done a CS degree to go with it. A degree does not kill the energy and initiative that makes for a top-tier self-taught engineer. But, it grounds your foundations, opens doors and lends you much needed prestige. All of these together will put a person on course for exceeding any 'merely self-taught' or 'merely MIT educated' engineer.

Your best self-taught Computer Music hires would likely have been even better if they'd done CS. And if they're good enough to be practically guaranteed 6-figure salaries, then the debt of university education is hardly a risk at all. Hell, they could pay off their debt just from internship-salaries and signing bonuses.
I've interviewed folk who say they don't use debuggers. They usually don't get the job.
