I'm surprised that SIGPIPE is not mentioned (and barely present in comments). It's 90% of why I'm scared of signals and every time I write something mixing IO and threads it eventually rears its disgusting head. Can someone shine a light on what the heck it's designed to do?
I'll rephrase: I don't want to find the music. I want recommendation of music that I might like. I want a mostly passive experience, where I can click a like button to get more like that, added to feed. I don't want to actively search, because I'm doing other things when I listen to music. If I find a song that interests me, I'll listen to the songs "radio" to find similar artists. This is an acceptable use pattern.

> which in turn implies things like major labels, artists seeking or expecting breakout etc.

This is nonsensical [1]. I follow YouTubers have their music on Spotify. Some are just spoof songs.

Assuming the CO2 stat is even true (that stood out to me, too, so I did a search, but couldn’t find a good source either way) I 100% guarantee it’s sophistry: carbon produced in the US per-capita is perhaps down—that’s not impossible, at least—but I’ll eat my hat if carbon released due to US consumption is down.
Yes but isn't the previous poster more concerned about ownership of the infrastructure that IIRC might allow to identify users and not of the code base which is openly linked to the US government?
Land value taxes don't factor in improvements. Improving the land results in no property tax change, so they incentivize doing more useful things with the land.
beautiful reminiscence - my question is: where do people influenced by this stuff collect? I suppose its everywhere - you get those once in a blue moon encounters (hello to chap I met in Bulgaria who was travelling around the MIddle East learning the Oud and would regail tales of late 80s / early 90s san francisco). I'm in Europe - a bit dissatisfied - but buzzing.

I haven't had a manager before who didn't complain about how many meetings they have, but I think they are a necessary evil for the position. My short stint in management sure saw meeting numbers balloon.
Isn't Autopilot basically just adaptive cruise control + lane guidance? I think those features are pretty commoditized now. My non-tesla car does both (although the lane changes are so overly cautious that if I'm in traffic I do it myself).

Definitely with you on charging experience + OTA updates though. I imagine the charging experience will mostly be solved in the next few years, but it's disappointing how some (most? All?) legacy car companies still make you go to a service center for patches. Plus, 2015 Teslas still get patches... I can't imagine my car will have any significant changes going forward
One concern I have is that once an area is built up, it's not clear that there will ever be transactions of unimproved land in the area, so I don't know how we keep "unimproved value" from being anything but a fiction.
Gaslighting is also usually associated with disorders involving strong delusional behavior. Delusions are maladaptive protective behavior (a false worldview that avoids actual ‘dangerous’ thoughts or information), and when challenged in a threatening way, particularly dangerous folks often gaslight the threat. It’s easy and natural for them to do, because they already have all the tools necessary to maintain the original delusion.

It’s the ‘my world view will be unchallenged or I will destroy yours’ reaction.

If two independent entitities are trying to sequentially wash trade to inflate the price it no longer looks like a wash trade, but like two entities suddenly finding asset more valuable and bidding for it with each other as it appreciates.

Ask HN: Why do we need "Passkeys"
On things I care about I used U2F (Yubikey) which as a second factor is ideal. People trying to break into an account won't have my U2F device and fail. (I've seen them try this). Google's support of U2F devices sucks. Like really badly. But they seem to get that these things are safer than "passwords" that are reversible with rainbow tables. Now they are all about "passkeys" which they STORE ON YOUR DAMN COMPUTER OR PHONE.

Here is where I fall off the boat. If we learned EXACTLY ONE THING from the Crypto Coin world it was this, if you put something valuable on your computer or your phone, PEOPLE WILL WORK DILIGENTLY TO STEAL IT. Often in creative ways like otherwise silent drive by clickless exploits in browsers delivered by Ad Networks.

Don’t improvements in nearby plots change the value of a plot of land?
(I'm a big proponent of LVT)

The two downsides I'm aware of are difficulty in transitioning to an LVT and difficulty in valuing the land.

Transitioning to an LVT means that landowners no longer capture land rents for themselves, which is a massive overnight loss in the value they hold. The solutions there typically tax only the difference in land value versus a baseline assessment. So if a lot is worth $100 before LVT and $105 after, the tax is calculated only on the $5 difference.

Valuing the land is tricky because the whole point of LVT is to tax only the location itself. So the value of any structures should be excluded from taxation, and even improvements in soil quality (e.g. on a farm) should be excluded. This is problematic because the market for bare land is significant less liquid than improved land, especially in suburbs and cities. So there isn't always good data on comparable land, and there isn't a way to hold a straightforward auction to value a given lot. Of course, most present systems of property taxation are subject to the exact same issue.
Hungarian has other irregularities. For example, színház ‘theatre’ is written with a long i, but it is pronounced short. Also surnames being spelled in a variety of ways but pronounced the same, e.g. Veress versus Vörös, or with pre-modern orthography like Széchenyi or Bereczki. I vaguely recall some instances where fel- was alternatively spelled föl- well into the twentieth century.

Every band is eventually faced with making a tough decision:

1) Do it for the love of the music.

2) Become a business.

Some bands are lucky enough to do both - not most. Survivorship Bias is key here, and the overwhelming majority of bands do not make any money or perhaps even lose money chasing their passion.

"Just getting feedback" is cool when you're in it for the love of music. For the rest - you do need a way to market yourself, sell merchandise, promote your next show, sell downloads or CD's, etc.

In a world where abundance reigns, the old structures and the leaders who champion them fade into obsolescence. The energy that once went into seeking more begins to flow into sharing, nurturing, and sustaining. In this transformed landscape, resource hoarding and centralized control are not just out of place; they become barriers to the collective human journey toward wisdom and spiritual fulfillment.

When everyone's basic needs are met effortlessly, the focus of life shifts from surviving to thriving, from acquiring to becoming. In such a world, market mechanisms and venture capital don't just lose relevance; they begin to feel like vestiges of an era defined by limitations that no longer exist. The skills once lauded for amassing resources lose their sheen when the quest becomes one of meaning, connection, and collective wellbeing.

The hearts and minds of people turn toward unlocking human potential, fostering creativity, and deepening relationships. In this new reality, leaders who can guide us toward spiritual and emotional enrichment will supersede those who have mastered the art of material accumulation.

In this context, the prominence of individuals like Andreessen, along with constructs such as markets and money, would naturally diminish into insignificance. The irony lies in the fact that such a manifesto would even be conceived, indicating a profound disconnect from the emergent realities of a post-scarcity world.
HCP chose to open source Terraform. They didn't have to. They chose to market the OSS aspect of their products and use it as a selling point.

It may well be true that HCP is having trouble hitting their revenue goals because they open sourced Terraform but that doesn't mean the competition is the bad actor, for using an OSS product entirely in the spirit of OSS.

As it stands, my opinion is that your framing is incorrect. There is Terraform, which was OSS, and there is Terraform Cloud/Terraform Enterprise, which is not OSS. A lot of the development energy goes into TFC/TFE, and there is where the attractive, for pay, features are. Terraform has not been receiving a lot of development time. Only a few people from HCP, part time, working on it. I believe that the reality is that HCP is unable to keep up with their TFC/TFE product. They aren't innovating, and they are attempting to use the legal system to remove competition rather than compete on product. And now that OpenTofu exists and is part of LF, you don't even need HCP to succeed for your Terraform code to continue to live. Maybe one feels that is unfair, but it was their decision to OSS the product, and their decisions to change that. And capitalism isn't fair. Shrug emoji.

Switching from a property tax to a land tax could easily result in no change in total tax revenue.

And since land taxes incentivize more efficient use of land, yes, you may get more total housing supply.

Sometimes people want to sit on underdeveloped-for-the-location land not because it's a low-effort way to ride capital gains but for non-economic reasons.

Examples include conservation projects and urban farms, but the big one is empty-nesters ageing in place (while the city has grown around them).

If you've seen the start of the movie Up you'll recall that Mr. Carl Fredrickson owns a detached home which now has apartment towers going up on all sides. As a widower his house holds extreme sentimental value to him; he isn't selling. Under an optimal land tax regime, he'd be paying quite a bit of land tax reflecting the increased desirability of his location, and would potentially be forced to sell up as a result.

Yes, LOL.

It's a "local" downside, but if you subscribe to the land tax idea, it's part of the process. These same people could just build "up" on their property, instead. But they want to cut grass.

> The bigger immediate benefit, though, comes from reducing taxes on most [Detroit] residents. The city argues that 97% of homeowners will get a tax cut. Lower tax rates on improvements ought to encourage people to invest in properties

Back when they carried Hot Pockets, I was convinced that the Hot Pockets they sold contained more pepperoni than the Hot Pockets from Target which contained more pepperoni than the Hot Pockets from Walmart. Unfortunately I never got around to measuring and proving it before Costco stopped carrying Hot Pockets.
There isn't as of now, I think with or without the quick fixes filter.
I don't think it's been shown to actually increase displacement and instability, in municipalities with a land value tax. It's theoretically the case, because now everyone is renting from either a landlord or the city/government, and if rents rise you might not be able to afford them.

In practice, land value taxes increase home ownership, so the actual displacement rate of a population might be the same or even less with LVT implemented.

> It would also encourage the childless to fight things like schools, as they would pay extra tax having them nearby.

Note that any existing property tax or council rates regime already theoretically has this effect too, but I don't really see this behaviour. It's a theoretical strategy that certain demographics could utilise, but not one that plays out in practice in any city I've ever seen.
It depends.

My manager filters my email. And tells me what the new priority is.

Two levels up is a director. Above that is a department head. Out of 100 people there are about six that truly build, ship, accelerate the goal arrival.

Nobody else answered you so I'm going to make up an answer which, even if it's not a specifically correct answer, it's a good answer :)

look into a.out and ELF formats for executable files; your executable files, said files hereby called "your code", will be in this format on linux.

There will be an entry point for your code, so if your program gets run, the kernel (or whatever userspace launcher it's given this task to... now that I think of it, from the command line, the shell would fork itself, and one fork would exec your program, so we're talking about exec here) will load your code into memory, and transfer control to--transfer control to means set the program counter to--your code at a particular address (the address of C main(), so to speak). Before this happens, the launcher will have allocated memory for you, set up the stack pointer, opened stdin/out/err, put the command line arguments into place (argc, argv), etc. Then your code can run till it's done, making system calls if it needs to, and potentially being preemptively multitasked, but that's all invisible to your code, black box in terms of how it's implemented.

now for signals...

Signals from the operating system need their own entry point(s) into your code. So, while your code is running, the OS can interrupt it (stuffing everything of yours onto your stack so it can be popped off later when control flow is returned to the same point later). In this meantime, the OS will now transfer control (set the program counter just like it did when it first launched you) and you're off and running with code to handle the signal, the interrupt.

If you have not prepared your code for this event, the default (set up by the launcher for programs) program flow at this point will be sent to a generic handler that says "unhandled signal", and your program will be killed. They're actually lying, the signal is being handled, but it's being handled by a handler that cleans up and exits.

But, you can write code to handle the signal yourself, and when your program launches you (generally in main() or nearby) register the address of the handler you want to use so that when the interrupt comes the OS will know where to send control. At that point it's as if you just called a function/subroutine at wherever your code running at that moment, and when that function returns, things continue as they were before, modulo whatever you did in your handler.

There's a bunch of specifics I don't know, is there one entry point for all signals, and a signal argument token decides where to transfer control, or are there 10 separate handlers so you don't waste time? etc.

if you're doing no-wait I/O with a single thread, one way is to make a blocking call, call into something that doesn't return till there's new data, and that new data may then arrive, handled by your interrupt handler; in that case returning from your input-getting handler could return from the blocking call and your code is off and running as if it just returned in the first place. There are a myriad variations on this, but that's the general idea.

happy to clarify anything, others can probably answer better, etc.

I'm exactly in the same boat although my work contributes to half of the depression. Unfortunately neither can I afford or want to remove from my life so I have to hang on.

Good luck and hang on there!
Michigan, for better or worse, does both. There's a major property tax break for your primary residence.

There's a Prop 13 style cap on property tax increases. It's the lesser of 5% or inflation. I'm not a fan of it, but it's not nearly as bad as Prop 13's low cap.
The main reason the California system is a disaster is that long-time owners are grandfathered and pay very little tax, meaning there's no incentive for these people to support more housing.

In other words, if California actually did kick out homeowners for their neighborhood getting too popular, it would have been much less of a disaster.

> It also assumes that NIMBYism remains at the same level, which is challenging, as every new build or development nearby increases your own taxes. It would also encourage the childless to fight things like schools, as they would pay extra tax having them nearby.

This is the same as the existing tax system, where tax is proportional to (land value + buildings' value).

> High levels of displacement and instability.

Taxes would rise on undeveloped or underdeveloped properties, and fall on developed properties. The net effect would be an increase in total housing stock, as the relative cost of building and owning more units goes down.

> The proponents of this I have met are generally wanting to use it force seniors with paid off homes out of them so they can live in them instead (or often build on them, as they are property developers).

An LVT wouldn't have to work this way. The transition could be something like, set the LVT for each property the same as its current tax under the old system. But any future change in the value of buildings on the property don't affect its tax. This would mean seniors could continue paying the same tax they used to, while developers wouldn't get penalized for building more housing.
Sounds a bit like Malbolge but not quite. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malbolge
The hold-out resident can just sell the land to a developer who will build something denser than a single family home. Then as a condition of the sale, the resident will own a unit in the new building.

I see it all the time. There is some office building with a weird looking residential unit on the top floor. The resident gets residual rent income together with the developer. New residents take advantage of increased supply of housing and commercial space. It is a win-win-win.
I think deferment is reasonable. Especially if it makes the difference in getting real LVT over the line, politically.
