I guess. I've found that dropbox with file version history works perfectly.

Wish it were end to end encrypted and dropbox wasn't focused on constantly putting garbage into the windows shell, but their backup function works perfectly, even for versions of my edits and no collisions on multiple computers unlike onedrive.
Those memory barriers are in the function implementation. They don't exist at the call site. Again, from the perspective of the compiler it's a regular function call.

> However setjmp()/longjmp() are different beasts entirely

Yes, exactly, they are not "equivalent" to pthread_mutex_lock() at all, which is what you suggested in the beginning. A call to pthread_mutex_lock() is a regular function call as far as the compiler is concerned.

Looking at it from the other direction, humans reached North America before the wheel, and before domestication of any animals except possibly dogs. Traveling a great distance by land would then mean either carrying your stuff or dragging it possibly on a sled maybe with dogs to help.

I'm not sure boats are old enough, but rafts definitely are. Humans also had rope well before then, and string even longer. A boat or raft train down the coast seems feasible, and would let you let you bring a lot more of your stuff.

Fishing is also old enough, which might make picking traveling by water a more attractive choice than going by land. Going to some far away unknown place by land runs the risk of having to cross mountains or deserts along the way where food may be scarce. (And that's another advantage of a water route--no mountains).

The way I think about that part (which is valid) is:

What would I do if someone tasked me to sit down and try to write a universally applicable tax code that closed that "loophole" without introducing a bunch of other waste/complexity/cost of compliance?

I'd probably wrestle with it a while and then say "screw it; let it go to zero; we're going to recapture it upon sale anyway, so given the projected/hopeful lifespan of the government versus the taxpayer, it doesn't really matter; we'll eventually get our money."

Security protocols have a short list of moving parts and trade offs and where to attack them. RNGs, key storage, key derivation, counters, and access modes, to name a few. They're only completely different to people who don't understand them.

If you are using symmetric secrets in smart cards, you're using something within a degree of EMV because you need compatability with existing reader infrastructure, and alignment to existing standards to get anyone to accept it. the AES-GCM was the giveaway because I seem to remember a related vuln where to facilitate compatability in software instead of the smart card, the designers used the counter as an additional secret. If the designers of this scheme were not constrained by existing reader infrastructure and standards schemes, they would have done this in a more modern and elegant way, likely using a Schnorr signature or a ratchet.

Protocol designers make trade-offs that they don't advertise because they represent a consensus of the risk between the solution parties. It appears in this case, there are some obvious opportunities for further research.

How can you overestimate your own happiness? Either you happy or you aren’t.

I almost posted on HN the other day about the annoying podcast UX in Spotify. The Home > Podcast section on the Android app shows the most recent 8 podcasts you've listened to. If you follow more than 8 podcasts then you need to use the 'Your library' section to check if the other podcasts have new episodes.

Spotify will randomly choose new podcasts rather that play you new episodes of podcasts you are already following.

Edit: And the fact that I can't get a history of what I've played drives me up the wall. Podcasts and songs.
I completely understand your sentiment but sadly for many Americans the lives of other people just don’t matter. We frequently don’t even care about our own citizens here (too many examples to list).

It’s a point raised and emphasized because it’s the only chance we have to try to get people to care about the atrocious things we’re doing. Even something as simple and clear as this line has been very ineffective in bringing about any change.

These are not "random" spaces, those are hackerspaces, and the event is for hackers and for building communities, so it's no surprise that the tickets are distributed to known hackers, those that are members of communities.

Why not "equal chances": because the tickets would be gone in 0,01s after opening sale, to bots operated by scalpers, and would be available in secondary circulation to highest bidders, not to real hackers. BTW DEFCON morphed from hacker-oriented to money-oriented, with predictable result. It's my understanding that CCCV wants to avoid this exact result, and instead operates a hybrid system that leaves some tickets to open sale, and reserves some tickets for members of their own Verein and friends (and friends of friends, etc.).

You can't compare wealth as simplisticly as you imply, for a multitude of reasons, the top three being:

* Wealth includes house ownership, but in many EU countries living in a rented apartment is normal and even preferred, mostly because strong regulatory protection of tenant's rights. As an example our family could easily afford owning a house in the suburbs but still lives for rent in the city, because quality of life is better here.

* In the US, wealth includes savings for pension, whereas in many EU countries pensions are organized collectively, like an insurance. In other words most EU pension schemes are not visible in wealth statistics.

* Same for healthcare. I know of noone in my social circle saving for eventual healthcare crises because that is cared for by health insurance.
I don’t think any of this is comparable across all of the US or the other countries due to extremely large differences in quality of life for different socioeconomic classes.

Maybe comparing each decile by country would be a meaningful comparison, if even possible.
That Russia is worse doesn't mean we are good.

Yup. I spent some time in Portugal this summer. I just got back to Florida and went to a LGBT bar last night. There was a guy at the door in head to toe tactical gear, just hanging out. For a moment I wondered if it was some early Halloween costume or if he was some nutjob. Then I realized that the bar had PAID him to stand there and that he was 100% ready to stop the next mass shooting. Chilling. Have we sunk so low?

They seem to have a habit of making things worse every time they make a change, I wish they would just stop trying. I suppose they have the VC curse so a merely profitable buisness isnt enough they must constantly be spewing out new ideas in the hopes of prolonging the exponential curve a little bit longer.

They can only be answered subjectively, because different people value different things. That's why such discussions usually end up with clusters of people with somewhat similar preferences arguing inconclusively with other clusters who do not share their preferences.
If provinces are only able to build at a rate of X units per year, why are we bringing in (e.g.) 2X the number of people

But this was my point. Because the health/survival of the Canadian economies requires that rate of immigration, that's what we do. But its on the provinces, not the feds, to manage housing & municipal issues. But there's a deep conflict of interest about how this is managed. Too many voters, real estate agents, developers, and contractors see benefit from rising housing prices, donors and voters for both parties.

What do you think would happen at the ballot boxes if a provincial government started building mass tracts of rental housing -- like governments did in the 50s in the post-war baby boom when we last had a serious housing crisis? Housing prices and rents would plummet, and landowners, developers, and upper middle class homeowners would be coming after the party in power with pitchforks.

Likewise, if immigration were to be throttled tomorrow, annual GDP growth would flatline and we'd be in recession and labour shortage territory. And the gov't that did this would also be punished.

When I see pundits on the TV about real estate prices: it's almost always some joker of a real estate agent or mortgage broker, not a real economist. It's like asking a wolf why the flock of sheep is thinning out.

Picking 2015 as an inflection point seems ridiculously partisan. I'm 50 next year. I've lived through both Conservative and Liberal governments. They've both made the same mistakes on this file, and they both suck. Housing has been precipitously rising since the end of the 90s. It was already in double-digit growth rates in Toronto and unaffordable for working class people when my wife and I bought our first house in 2005.

The reality is that the most serious "inflection point" was 2008, when US (and most global) housing prices collapsed and stabilized, while Canada's continued to grow exponentially.

Trudeau was not Prime Minister then.

For better or for worse we have a federal system, and the provinces play the role of managing housing stock and municipal affairs, not the feds.
LineageOS probably isn’t a great example. It uses black box firmware blobs that don’t receive updates and essentially just makes the latest Android work with those.

It’s certainly better than just running an old Android on an unsupported device, but there are still large parts of the system that can be subject to critical vulnerabilities that can never be patched.
Don’t base any opinion off of something you see on Blind. That’s a very self-selecting group who participate there, and probably the majority of responses were just trolling.
The flip side of this is local government technology. Truly some of the worst crimes against web development have been committed by local councils, or rather their outsourcing partners.

That's all cool, but those aren't Android apps (at least most of them). Those are closed source, full of telemetry and unnecessary integration google apps.

Question wasn't about if google apps are better, but how pixels contribute to the growth of AOSP differently then vendors like samsung.

Just because google sponsor AOSP, doesn't mean that any proprietary app they make (which is all of them btw) count as AOSP contribution.

Except all humans can extrapolate even if they don’t. Current generative models fundamentally can not, even you want them to.

However I would hold that I can prove you’re wrong. Have you ever seen a human play make believe when they’re young? Draw? You’re judging humanity by post indoctrination crushing of the soul for profit. But every human being, no matter how rigid and unthinking as an adult, was a creative genius at age four.

You’d need to look at PPP for all goods and services and not just networth (paper networth). EU countries provide a lot of social based lines, like education, childcare and healthcare. Also there is a huge variability between EU countries - Swiss are quite wealthy for example.

Just gave it a look. Dynamically typed. IMO if scalability is on the table, having types is a huge benefit.

It saddens me that ruby, python, elixir, JS... many of the best and most productive backend frameworks have types as an afterthought only.

Rust is cool, but it's also hard to write(did last year's AoC using it, and it was fast to run, slow to write).

Anyone have any recommendations for me? Should I look at go/gin perhaps? No Java please - I need type inference because I'm a spoiled baby.

Edit: anyone tried crystal? Looks promising, but doesn't seem popular...
Yeah, this feels like a huuuuge drawback to me.

You are immediately prevented from creating an implementation which works on Windows/macOS/Linux, and it is reinforcing the Google/Apple duopoly in the smartphone market.

Moreover, you are relying on "trusted execution" remaining unbroken in thousands of different dirt-cheap smartphone models. It's not a question of "if" it gets broken, but "when". And revocation isn't exactly an option either, because you risk leaving millions of people unable to use your government-mandated app.

I believe that applications like these should be explicitly designed around the possibility of the user device being compromised or a malicious third party interacting with it instead - even if that means a loss of functionality.

And while you are at it, make it fully open source to make it easier for the security community to review it for silly things like the self-rolled crypto we see here.

This is well understood by everyone and only needs to be said because you feel the need to ask 20 questions in an attempt to imply there's a fault to the thinking (because you can't outright say it or the jig would be up).
Because not everything needs to be a peer-reviewed scientific publication, sometimes just reading people's opinion on stuff is enlightening too, especially if they have expertise in a field.

I agree with both your points. The experience varies and depends a lot on the manager.

And about the cognitive dissonance - but to me, personally, it's not like there is one Google, but it's many companies with completely separate goals and ways of acting. And it's not just a metaphor; different orgs really do operate on sometimes opposing goals (like Android vs Pixel vs Research - I was in the middle of that, but won't elaborate publicly).
I think long term it should be broken up by regulators, but that's a different and polarizing/political topic.

But back to my original point - a lot of people have amazing experiences there, so my question to the person posting it remains - how is everything about those jobs horrible? This brings me a huge cognitive dissonance, as it's so different from my and my colleagues experiences.

> I'm just pointing out that unions don't mean you get everything you want.

Maybe not, but if the companies can band together and collectively decide what is best for employers[1], then it's only fair that employees should be able to band together and collectively decide what is best for employees.

Unions are for collective negotiation; getting what you want is a nice side-effect of collective bargaining.

[1] Yeah, don't tell me that they don't collude. Actual communications between them is not required for collusion.

Is there a time limit? I'm still using the original iPod touch as a white noise machine.
Well of course they aren't! Unions are there as a way of leveling the power balance between the owners and workers. That unions still terrify big companies to the point of firing organizers or closing entire locations should be telling. They're not around to prevent every inconvenience, they're around to prevent abuse of the workforce.

For example, if the Games Industry (using them as an example because they're notoriously the worst work-life) unionized, a shop could tell their management "No, we will not engage in crunch for a month."

Like how a fire suppression system doesn't prevent you from burning your food, unions are there to prevent bigger issues.
My main annoyance is the amount of music missing from YT Music, especially parts of albums, but I still use it because it comes with my YT premium account. It's like, oh cool, they have this album!

But despite all that, it's still my primary because the recommendation engine is leaps ahead of Spotify.
