Well, there's Banff and Jasper (and other nearby parks) which I visited with my wife quite a while ago. We're Californians. And Stanley Park in Vancouver is very accessible.
In that scenario, nothing is wrong
Well, mine was sarcasm, I don't trust internet easily, and those articles are "too convenient" for my taste: for me it is just some people claiming they did discover new pratchett essays, and as sarcasm I cited chatgpt because I default those guys to scammers with forged and fake material.
What's in the NASA Asteroid Capsule
I'm surprised this wasn't already the case
Even if it does, this is also highly relevant to desktop CPUs.
Based on my experiences with the system, I'm quite sure that the actual amount of faking and fraud is extreme.

In other news, we have a national Adderall shortage because it was widely prescribed to kids whose problem was being unable to concentrate during lockdown due to stress and depression. As a result, by default teenagers lose their diagnosis when they graduate. I learned this when my son's psychiatrist had to give him very explicit instructions about how to document his disability so that the diagnosis he received in grade 1 will follow him into his adult life without having to prove it again.
Great Smoky Mountains National Park is still free to access. (Though it looks like they added parking passes at $5/day starting in March.)
That work I was referring to is a creative, artistic process of designing a font based on a historical starting point. That does matter. Hardly mowing the lawn or compiling a phone book.
I think it depends on what you mean by empty. I was about 25 miles in last month (backpacking; Hoover Wilderness/Yosemite), and we all remarked at how surprised we were by the number of people we saw every day. It felt pretty crowded.
SpaceX already has to deal with FAA, ITAR DoD, NASA, FCC - I imagine they’re pretty familiar with bureaucracy.

>This I worry is more funded by alt-right anti-intellecutalist culture warriors who are not happy that libraries include books on subjects they don't agree with.

It's more that people don't want to pay for libraries and they think libraries will breed a place for homeless people to exist. The town is extremely well educated. There are also many wealthy, entrenched people here that do not want to mingle with poor people. Lot of NiMBYing. The wealth of the town unfortunately does not bread empathy.
GP is (I believe) replying to an iPhone-specific remark in my original comment.

I've brought up Apple/Globalstar because it serves as a baseline for what's already possible, as well as it being a likely future competitor.

And I wouldn't read too much into (in)compatibility at this point: Neither Starlink nor Apple have disclosed how their respective solutions actually work. Starlink might function as a "dumb pipe" analog frequency-shifting relay just like Globalstar.
If I can recall from over 30 years ago, yes Old Faithful viewing is within a few hundred feet of a parking area.

For those who naturally wander, it can be hard to understand. But a lot of visitors barely leave parking lots and pull-outs. I don't know about 95%, but I've definitely noticed this at my favorite California parks.

The road-bound will take pictures at the scenic viewpoint on the shoulder of the road and at various entrance signs, and maybe use the restrooms. Then they pile back into the car to go to the next pull-out, restaurant, or hotel parking lot on their itinerary...
Globally unusual do you mean? I can't imagine where in England that would not be true.
Money is cheap, it's time that's expensive... I don't have any experience here, but my intuition is that organizing and executing the event with appropriate bureaucratic signoff, managing PR, reviewing all the candidates (in a fair and unbiased manner), etc... sounds like weeks of effort spanning months, no?
The problem with using a cloud provider is that you still need to know what you're doing.

Your application isn't going to magically become HA/DR. You still have to make it that way, from your application design/coding up through the deployment.

I mean, if you're not storing your session IDs in a data store that's reachable by all the nodes behind your load balancer then no amount of infrastructure is going to save you.

You can always interpret the timezone on the app/client/presentation side, I can't think of any scenario that is made better by the server itself being set on local time zone. It causes extremely messy issues IME.

We've already started developing the typescript SDK. Would love to see exactly what your use case is, so we can prioritize specific instrumentation and collaborate on it. We'll ping you.
I think the example is the code for a child process which must use a separate thread to block on stdin for the whole process. As soon as the parent process dies (no example code?), the connection to the child process’ stdin will be unblock, causing the child monitor thread to detect and panic.
This is definitely possible, and this is definitely already happening. It may be hard for some people to even tell the difference between an AI generated script/audio vs 100% human curated.

> I hope that the Starlink system is eventually linked into our 911 infrastructure and available to anyone with an LTE phone regardless of carrier.

If Starlink's solution is really completely unmodified LTE, I'd expect 911 calls to work regardless of being a T-Mobile subscriber, just like for existing terrestrial networks (where you can dial 911 even if your carrier does not have signal in a given location, or even entirely without a SIM card).
Thanks for this. "Parks" was disappointing.
The data and puzzling history behind California's new red food dye ban
More a realist. If you have the scale to go on prem. Do it.

Most firms don't. Or don't have the skills.

Also, the cloud can help an IT project recover from errors. Let's say, I'm about to buy 500k of hardware to setup some storage. I get my requirements, I architect it, do my design work, and then buy the hardware. I have to over provision a bit because of reality and human error... But when I discover that the requirements, shift 2mo in my project, and I've already ordered the hardware... I may be hosed.

This isn't hypothetical, this is what happens. Things evolve and shift. The cloud allows for more agility. If your firm is large enough, or has its stuff together enough, go for it on-prem.

I've got 20+ years on prem.. I've seen it fail all over. I've seen cloud be a mess too. But if you told me to clean up one. I'll take the cloud.
I'd really have to disagree with you there! I've lived in Bristol for 4 years, having previously spent 8 years in London - people are I know are happy here and find it difficult to leave. I've never lived in such an uplifting, diverse, creative place as I do now (Easton, BS5).

Also worth mentioning (response to a comment above) that there's a lot of colourful houses and murals all over the city, not just on the bits you see on postcards...!
To Europeans, US is like the only place where this constantly happens.
I've had a pi 1 camera looking out at the horizon for many years and it didn't really get damaged.

which suggests that he'd be fine with things like the pass program.
Once people know something is possible with video games, they tend to imitate it fairly well across platforms. I like to use Street Fighter 2 as an example… good ports on PCE, SNES, Genesis.. and surprisingly decent bootlegs on NES and others. But until it hit arcades, there was nothing else like it.
They suck at video. Take stills and they do a lot better.
How many of those devices do you think people are willing to buy, keep updated, AND store off site? A fire, car accident, flood, or major theft could wipe multiple devices out in one fell swoop. Unless there's a secure way to make passkeys portable and able to be backed up in a secure manner off-site, I will avoid this tech like the plague.
Yeah this is one of those weird cases where if I was his manager I'd ask "bro, do you need more interesting things to do at work?"

Tom7 is probably my favorite creator on the web, so I guess I'm glad that whatever he's doing at Google isn't scratching all the itches.
1. Why do parks cost money? Ever. For anyone?
2. How is this news? We really messed up when you need to pay to go to nature...while you're also paying taxes.
I came in pretty hostile to the idea, but your post made me think twice.

I don't think disabled people deserve to go to the parks more than non-disabled, but get that there are logistics challenges.

I wonder if a time flexible pass would be better than just free access
Clearly what they meant by "committed to open source" is "committed to taking advantage of other people's open source contributions".

This is why we have the GPL, people. Defend your hard work.
Government shutdown solved lol. That should cover it for a couple more months.
> Junior researchers are also pressured into acquiescing to the peer reviewers rather than having an actual scientific debate

Yes. When I was teaching at the graduate school level, doctoral students sometimes came to me for advice about how they should respond to peer reviewer comments. Those comments were usually constructive and worthwhile, but sometimes they seemed to indicate either a misunderstanding or an ideological bias on the part of the reviewer. (This was in the social sciences, where ideology comes with the territory.) But even in those latter cases, the junior researchers just wanted to know how they could best placate the reviewer and get their paper published. None had the nerve, time, or desire for an actual scholarly debate.
Solution: use a memorable password for one of your cloud services. One that does not require 2FA. Keep a copy of password db there.

> like the lack of short-circuiting in boolean expressions. I assume modern Pascal compilers have resolved this

I think your ideas on Pascal are a little outdated if you assume short circuit boolean expression are a modern Pascal compiler change. Turbo Pascal, one of the by far most common dialects, had that since the 80s, meaning this change has been around for four decades (assuming Turbo Pascal didn't take it from some other popular at the time dialect like USCD Pascal).

Well, I sure wish Apple would make use of that functionality themselves once in a while.

It's frustratingly impossible to enqueue an iMessage message while out of signal and have it be automatically delivered once back in cell coverage. Bizarrely WhatsApp, a third-party application (with all the background execution restrictions that go with that), manages to do just that!
Is that true for the newer versions they’ve launched, since he left GitHub?

Selective reading. What about the $22/day in commute and parking fees that were part of the same list as the food costs? You actually had to actively ignore them when making your comment. That travel expense is a dead loss under RTO.

They also don’t mention how commuters value the quality time lost during a commute. Say two hours/week free time lost valued, say, at $100/hr. (Ask your 80 y.o. self what they’d pay to get those “healthy quality hours with your growing family” hours back.)

It does add up.
This sounds great! Until spammers and grifters discover it. Is there a plan for them?
This is so bizarre to me. How can a native application not implement that, while a third-party application nails it!?
I have done small philantrophic projects with 5-6 people and doing it with a team helped a lot
Wow that's nice. In Holland the government always assumes you did it on purpose even though usually that isn't actually the case.
It depends on how important it is to you.

You can throw a bunch of boxes in a closet and it'll work. A surprisingly large amount of the early Internet was "a spare box under my desk."

The problems start when they become part of your critical path and you're on vacation and nobody knows WTF is happening.

I mean, it's a risk. If you're OK with that risk then go for it.

It's really about the politics of your office.

If everyone is OK with the idea that the box is in some closet somewhere that's fine. I've been part of a bunch of startups where we were running infrastructure on spare hardware. Sure it's not HA, but we didn't need it...or it was at least HA enough for what we needed.

But since Apple discontinued Xserve and macOS Server, they seems like don't care about this business anymore.
For the same reason you don’t write x+y * z: because then the spacing contradicts the way the priorities work in the language.

We might wish for the C declaration syntax to be <type> <name>[, ...], but it’s not: it’s <specifier>[ ...] <declarator>[, ...], where int, long, unsigned, struct stat, union { uint64_t u; double d; }, and even typedef are all specifiers, and foo, (foo), (((foo))), *bar, baz[10], (*spam)(int), and even (*eggs)[STRIDE] are all declarators (the wisdom of using the last one is debatable, but it is genuinely useful if you can count on the future maintainer to know what it means).

Everybody is free to not like the syntax, but actively misleading the reader about its workings seems counterproductive.
well I really thought that the whole point of passkeys was that they are tied to the device. Syncing a passkey should have only meant that you have a backup, not that you can actually log in from a totally different device with that other device's passkey...
> They are error prone, you can forget to unlock

That's a language issue though, rather than a mutex one. It's reasonably straightforward to fix that, as some languages (like Nim) do.
True to form: Media and data technologies of self-inscription
To be fair, it used to be "encrypted" using a scheme not too far removed from ROT13; now it's using the Signal protocol, which probably requires quite a few more bytes per message.

For example, messaging a contact with multiple devices connected means that your phone has to encrypt your message to each of their clients independently.
What about the caregivers who support those who are permanently disabled? It's a case of it takes two for those that are disabled and unable to transport themselves.

Yes, you have to learn things to goto the cloud, and I won't say it is all roses, it ain't. But... AWS is less likely to fsck it up.

If you have the constant load to burn the flops 24x7x365... go for it. If you have the ops team to do it... go for it.

If you don't... take a bit of time and learn the cloud which is much easier than getting on-prem right.

Especially for smaller firms, this isn't even a close call IMHO.
Show HN: thcon, a config-driven theme controller
It's not the first CLI tool that switches terminal, editor, and desktop themes, and it certainly won't be the last. This one (mine) focuses more on switching between dark and light variants of a theme than on theme hopping, and is able to support a different set of tools. Notably, KDE Plasma, GNOME Shell user themes, and the macOS global dark mode are all supported, which is pretty unique I guess?
The thing is that like 90% of national park visitors will never venture more than a half mile from their car. We should be making the experience as accessible as possible for those visitors while also preserving the vast majority of the open space for backcountry users.

The Paradise Visitor Center at Mt Rainier does a nice job striking this balance. Visitors can get an excellent view of the mountain by driving to the parking lot. There is a paved path to a popular waterfall. Beyond that, hikers can have a more typical trail hiking experience and by the time you are about 4-5 miles from the parking lot, it's a proper wilderness experience.
While the exact number may be a little higher this tallies very much with my experience of US national parks. Walk a few hundred yards and even at the busiest sites you’re basically on your own.

While many people with disabilities can’t go very far beyond their car, they represent a minority of visitors. The vast majority of visitors are people who are theoretically physically capable of walking further but just choose not to.

I don’t get it, but it does make the experience for those of us who are prepared to walk a whole lot nicer!
Yes, you can ignore the warnings and change the defaults, like I said?

> unless you manually change it

I ran into this myself just the other day.
Yeah, design was probably a poor choice of words, s/design/default/.
I believe their communication layers are fairly different – WhatsApp used to use something based on XMPP at least until a while ago; I'm not sure what Signal uses, but I vaguely remember it being based on HTTP?
Not just multiple devices, but multiple locations. A fire, flood, car accident, or theft can result in the total loss of multiple devices unless one is sufficiently far away and also secure. Then there's keeping that remote device up to date. This is beyond the patience, finance, and understanding of virtually everyone.
that lacks generalizability when we pivot to public policy implementation. Your use case lacks external validity.

Yeah I guess that illustrates how everyone is talking about different things, I just think Julia shouldn't use that to claim they are not as slow as many other things, or other vague promises of high level abilities that can somehow traverse paradigms to become the right thing to do at the low level. The fact that you've similarly called out specific caveats to the argument further illustrates how... In my opinion... It is just simply intellectually dishonest how the Julia documentation categorizes others and how promoters of the language don't really know what it means to say that Julia is fast, it clearly can be made not to be.
I think I had this conversation not long ago too. I used to frequent smokey mountains a lot in the 1990's. Even then there were fee lots but plenty of ways to bypass them, which I as a starving college student was pretty good at. OTOH, they don't really have a fee because a couple of major roads that are hard to avoid run right through the middle of the park.

So, to me the recent moves sound more like they are closing all the loopholes around avoiding the parking fees (ex parking on the road rather than in the lot) which were there to replace the entrance fees.
The only special treatment she got was being bumped to the front of the list for her section 8 housing because of her impending "homelessness" was faked for the mayor.

Think more hackathon project than startup.

Philanthropically, people do this scale of stuff for their own communities all the time. In the arts, people stand up and run themed contests every day.

There is absolutely time to be invested in designing or approving whatever online presence, reviewing submissions, becoming comfortable with whatever legal requirements, etc — but that’s the part that makes it a memorable life experience, not unlike the time spent on that trip to Belize or in those woodshop classes.

I have dual citizenship so I plan on leaving the US at some point. EU is much more reasonable when it comes to cost of healthcare and living.

I do thing every American should have access to at least basic healthcare, some kind of affordable housing, food and clothes. Unfortunately, that is far from reality.

I myself have used food stamps at some point and everything about it was awful. The facilities were sad, employees rude and lines long.
Personally I think that’s the best selling point of passkeys. Most non-tech people don’t use password managers and have to memorize passwords, reset frequently passwords they can’t remember, etc. Security is way harder to sell than convenience.

Saying that, I am struggling to understand what is the expectation for ordinary user behavior in terms of hardware-tied credentials. Eg so many people upgrade their iPhone every 1-2 years. If passkeys are not transferred to the new phone, what is the industry suggesting people do?
Yeah, you’re not wrong. There are some parks that are basically in my back yard that you couldn’t explore in a life time. I don’t mean to sound bitter or unappreciative at all. If anything I just want more of it for everyone.

My personal favourite is strathcona park on Vancouver Island. My family spends summers and winters there. The geology is incredible, and you can find heaps of fossils in some areas. The lakes are stunning and cool throughout summer. The alpine areas are breathtaking. You really couldn’t see it all in a lifetime. I can’t think of a better thing to have a few hours away.
