Most modern devices do contain a hardware based Secure Enclave.

Because the technology is newish I would do some research before using it for anything really important.
I am not talking about "if it's pixelated, you can imagine it being immersive". Games like Tropico, SimCity 4 or Sid Meier's Pirates have fairly high-resolution icons (well, obviously not on 4K but it isn't pixel art either) which leave not much room for imagination, and they work very well.

The "soulless UI" effect happens when developers try to use flat design in a game where it doesn't work with the aesthetic. A game set in the future? of course. A game set in 1700? hell no.
and also if the game uses too many numbers. If there are many "+20% this, +10% that" that also feels unimmersive so the player is dragged out of the game world.
It’s neither in the headline or in the article. The question was about setenv, not getenv.

It is best to avoid calling setenv in a threaded program. Some programs do it to make space for rewriting argv with large strings (freeing space from *environ which tends to be right after the tail of argv). Some programs or libraries use *environ directly to stage variables for exec before forking. Some want to pass variable changes to forks. There are alternatives possible, but in the context of something like go calling libc setenv, it’s to make interop easier- sadly it may make other interop harder, such as this case.
My main problem with it is that many people interpret the G as being Gbps. And I'm sure they are not offering 10gbps speeds.
Could be worse, i came here to make snarky comments about how maybe having profits that don't align with their valuation should be enough warning to ai unicorns, but then found out that's what the article was about... So sad i cant make the comments......
Lvt would just make nimbyism worse, it doesn't punish it. Up zoning and public infrastructure increases property value.

The best way to keep your land value tax low is to ensure that zoning restricts its use and Light Rail never gets built.
I've been thinking about local taxes a lot recently (I've been a locally elected selectman for a tiny town in MA) and realized that the automobile ruined the way we value land, which ultimate ruined the way that municipalities are able to control costs and spend their taxes to add value.

I'd write more, but only if someone responds to this.
I think I must be missing something here, but I’ll ask anyway:

Why don’t the OS libraries have some sort of lock around setenv/getenv, so that only one thread can be inside them at a time? I can’t see how it could deadlock. And surely no-one is so dependent on the performance of these calls that the time to lock/unlock would be problematic?
The problem is exactly that the improvements are not most of what you're paying for, at least in many locales where this sort of policy would make a difference.
Sure, and that's why most people would sell.

Having a family doesn't "absolve you" from ethics, but it means that you have to weight doing right by your family vs doing right by your users. Most people choose their family, and nobody blames them for it.
Ok, this is rebalancing. Thanks for the explanation. This shift in 'weight' may potentially deter large developers or businesses from investing in land within the city, especially if they're looking at larger parcels for development.
It depends on the implementation, but I think that's the general idea. https://developer.android.com/privacy-and-security/keystore for Android, for example.
getaddrinfo is terrible. Did you know it also opens and then connects to a socket? Any process that uses getaddrinfo needs a blanket exception in my firewall in order to work properly, because otherwise it will fail to connect to some randomly-generated port that it just made up.
They appear to be the anti-Walmart. They want good but sustainable pricing from their vendors for high quality products and want to pay their employees a competitive livable wage.

That’s an interesting point of reference.
I have thought about what a big change it was to go from a sheet music and live performance only world to a world with audio recordings.

You’ve identified the early electromagnetic signals era, then think about the huge expansion in bandwidth those signals have undergone. From a handful of local radio stations and a finite number of grooved vinyl(or whatever medium) at your local shops. To a virtually infinite arrangement of pixels on your screen, waveforms coming out of your speakers. A few taps on your local signal processor and you can have virtually anything delivered to your door, or undertake any number of your other day to day affairs.
> Background, I work in diligence for software aquisitions.

It shows. I don't see lay-offs from this perspective. Instead, I think about each of the employees impacted by the company's reckless behavior. Did the employees have any say in this matter? No? Then who cares if the job they were there to do was unimportant in the first place? That is absolutely the fault of the company.

Your stance is not effective when treating human beings like human beings and not some `num_workers` configuration in some kubernetes yaml.
How? ICs are usually well paid unless they’re clueless. I’m paid more than any manager or sr manager at my company at staff level.

POSIX mandates getaddrinfo to be thread safe.
Wildly successful how?
getaddrinfo is far too ossified to be changed
Fair but… I think the last hundred years should have also taught us to be wary of believing in any novel social system too fervently
Wouldn't that apply to existing property tax systems or any tax where the value it is based on is only assessed periodically?
Well, that's the gotcha isn't it?

It's easy to think about some complex interactive software where the need to call setenv appears only after you have worker threads doing some other thing. Without a warning, you won't know it's a bad thing to do, and the manpage only says that it and unsetenv are not thread safe, as if this was remotely enough information.

What nobody is telling is that the environment is so big that you need it to compress data or open an IPv6 connection. It's not obvious at all that you can't do those things while editing a variable.
iTunes, Amazon, streaming platforms, etc. do not deal directly with artists. Apple gives the majority (not sure of the percentage) to a distributor (LANDR, DistroKid, CD Baby, etc) who is responsible for the song, and then they take a negotiated cut and pay it to the artist.

DistroKid, for example, charges about $20/year to keep all of your music releases on 100 or so streaming and download services, but takes no cut of the proceeds.

This distribution method is far and away the norm nowadays, especially with dance music, because it gets music everywhere, right alongside artists signed to labels. Bandcamp appeals more to the hipster crowd.
Absence of evidence means nothing because the chance someone who can reliably detect this attack would use a public charging port is nil.
tl;dr anybody?
While it isn't exactly analogous, property developers that build residential high-rises often have as part of their contract an option for a desirable unit in the building on very generous terms. Builder occupied units in new buildings are not that uncommon. There is no reason you could not extend such terms to the landowner.
What's the tax used for, though?

In many places a large part of what property tax is for is things like roads, water, sewer, police, fire, and schools.

For most of those how much money is needed for them depends a lot more on what is on the land than on the land itself. E.g., the amount of sewer capacity needed for a lot is proportional to the number of people who live on the lot. It thus seems sensible to have a tax that includes as a factor what is built on the lot.
Given the friction (inconvenience) in having to move house/business etc, that hardly seems fair. It also defeats the object of land ownership if you can be kicked off it at any time.
most people intend to pay off their card every month. but people who run into financial problems or just have a tight month financially will often pay less on their card. and there are a lot of those people.
Ah gotcha. I believe it can be baked into images as well, per the entrypoint example in the readme: https://github.com/krallin/tini

Not sure how this will fare IRL in k8s as I haven’t much experience there. It’s still silly that this is the default behavior where you need something like Tini, but I digress.
... implying that they aren't already? At-least speaking US, there are plenty of real-estate focused PACs.
The value of `setenv(3)` has always been pretty murky to me -- the only time I've ever really needed it is when performing a fork-exec, and even then it's been the wrong tool for the job (the dedicated exec*e variants are the right way).

Would there be any significant downsides (besides breakage) to mapping `environ(7)` as read-only? That seems like the kind of thing that a Linux distribution (or more realistically OpenBSD) could do as a way to kill off a persistent family of bugs.
Are you comparing C and sed as similar platforms for developing a chess engine? :)
Correct. libc is largely thread unsafe.
We've been building everything with CGO_ENABLED=0 for years now, with no nasty side effects. It gets to be a pain using the default, when something as innocuous as a point version of a Docker image breaks compatibility because of a glibc version change[1].

Is that cat a meme from the 1890s?
The post is about getaddrinfo() specifically. It just struck me as odd to call that one out when there are far more common C library calls that use getenv().
Property taxes and wealth taxes undermine property rights in ways that normal income taxes don’t. If I earn $100 and pay tax on it, whatever’s left over is mine forever, and I never have to pay tax on that income again. If I buy $100 worth of property, I have to pay tax on it again every year forever, which basically means I’m only buying the right to rent it from the government in perpetuity.

Your use of the phrase “rent seeking” is also a bit weird. It sounds like any extraction of value from capital would meet your definition. It’s fine if you object to a persons right to extract value from their capital, but rent seeking typically describes attempting to extract value from capital _without_ reciprocating any productive value to the person who’s paying you. Which is certainly not the case with land use.
I mean manager has at least some power, 'mentors' or 'leads' - don't. At current org. we have ~20 ICs in the department and one manager, there are clearly 3, maybe 4 folks who are more senior in experience and more influential, but no, no one perceive them as managers.

It's not a huge surprise that gzip as a general compression algorithm didn't compress this down any further. I do wonder about a format that was specifically trained on these specific characters though, and the patterns that tend to emerge from the weird compiler. Maybe the chunks at a certain scale would be predictable and thus compressible.

Of course at that point you're probably more interested in a common binary format, and should start thinking about wasm instead.
I ought to mention, I really expected that Stage Manager on iPad would turn out to have been mirroring the VR headset's window management, but that doesn't seem to be the case
Isn't using the website kind of like using an API?
It might be that GZIP isn’t actually a good format with which to try to compress this data. I would think a compression algorithm that expects a rather large 8 byte character space wouldn’t be very suitable for a 4-bit space
Yes, and it's been long bemoaned about how people game that system and how unfair it has a tendency of being. Which was one of the points I was raising.

There is no objective valuation for anything really... particularly when it comes to more-or-less unique, speculative properties such as land and/or improvements.

The only reason everyone mostly agrees on, say a car's value is there's a lot of cars exactly like it that have been sold recently in whatever area you are in. Yet, every plot of land is mostly unique and has a tremendous amount of potential, debatable factors when it comes to value.
Hmm. So in your view landlords are zamindars, there to extract value from the land and to give a little bit of it to their overlord?

I presume in your view, it would be best if governments cut the middle man and seized all land, but alas, they are too incompetent to extract any value from it. So like the EIC of old, they must rely on landlords.

That is an interesting view of private property. It certainly explains a lot about about modern rental problems.
> If they listed both that would make sense

They provide their raw data [1]. You can reconstruct the index however you want. There is an entire industry of consultants who create custom benchmarks for planners.

For personal purposes, your metropolitan area's CPI is a better metric to watch than the national number.

I don't love this idea, and I suspect many others wouldn't either. If you raised your family in a house and have lived there for decades, it has intangible value to you, but not others. Yet because of this value, you must pay potentially much much more than your neighbor, who objectively speaking may have a lot of equal value.

What's more, even if you pay more than you ought to, you'll never feel secure in your home, knowing that at any time you may be forced to sell.
DNF. Seems like this thread has more supporters so I'll just say it again for fun. Put your money where your mouth is Marc. So sick of you and the geezers lies, haven't you and that monoculture ilk extracted enough wealth over that juicer shaped head of yours?
yep.
I use both daily but find bc more valuable.
bc does little to help me find new music (so I get my leads elsewhere) but once I know what I want it is more likely to be on bc than spotify.
spotify does a good job of helping me follow artists I already know, but not so great identifying new ones.
I'm sure that depends on what you're looking for tho.
If they don’t then you are taking it away from other people by owning it.
Vanguard has like $6T AUM, this is accusing them of having a few ten $B in the Chinese market, which is basically in special China funds. This is an absurd piece of "research".
Calling it the "ethical choice" was a mistake on my part. It's more of an "ethical calculus" between doing right by your family, and doing right by your users.

So it's not that choosing your family is unethical, but it does have consequences for your users. If family was taken care of them the ethical calculus shifts in the users favor.
Perhaps my response was a bit long but I did attempt to address it. Perhaps I can elaborate:

The question is to what degree/portion of Georgianism to apply and what to do when the land value component starts going up infinitely that its starts hurting the electorate.

- Do you introduce alternative tax sources (i.e. increase income taxes on billionaires instead as in California)?

- Do you introduce caps on annual land value increases (i.e. Prop 13 as in California) or add a bunch of waivers for specific use cases (i.e. primary homes also know as the homestead exception, day cares as they are starting to do in Texas)?
Nice UI, easier to use and more flexible, deploys Docker containers.
I agree. I'm shocked this isn't there in 2023. Or even better, a rwlock allowing concurrent reads while serializing writes. Or some lock free algorithm for writes.

I'm pretty sure the Windows version of the environment calls has locking.

Historically you can access the environment via a global variable too, which would side-step locking schemes. But probably hardly anybody does that anymore.
Exactly what I do as well
This is a pretty bad standard to judge toxicity, unless you’re diluting it to relevant dosages
Well, in the US at least, the one who first claimed the land is the one who built a cabin there, often broke the land to the plow, and then held it against anyone who tried to take it from them. It wasn't just "claiming" the land. They had to work to improve it.
yes, I was very hopeful for sc: such a waste.
Magic Wormhole is great, but sometimes unbearably slow for bulk transfers. (I imagine the public relay server used for the common NAT-to-NAT case is sometimes overloaded.)
Yes, absolutely. I worked there about 7-8 years ago and at the time it was considered a "retirement home" in Silicon Valley.
What do you mean by "gone"? You still own it.
With tech like this I'm starting to wonder if realistic games are going to become normalized and what will happen as a result.

Also has anyone been working on solving the "blurry" look these splats have up close?
It was trash, but dealing with recruiters has always been, and keeping professional network into a separate space was the saner thing to do.

In that sense, I think it worked as intended: people would only need to react to recruiting mail, and that only during the spans they cared about moving careers.

The whole "tell your life on linkedin !" promotion pushed by Microsoft clearly degraded that part.

On perhaps, if corporations get more rights than people, then at birth, every American citizen should get a SSN and their own LLC. Let everyone bend the rules, or no one.
No, it’s not. Considering it as an alternative at the current FIAT system consume way less and it’s way more secure than the not “climate arson” PoS oligarchy.
In theory a government that serves the people who elected it.
Why is it one of the "healthiest" forms of taxation? And, why does the fixed supply make it healthy? That sounds completely unrelated. Can you explain?
Korean is given as an example on par with Russian but Hangul is basically a purely phonetic writing system.
If they did it, it would break userspace for a probably surprising amount of processes.
For me, it’s messages like “How’s it going at City and County of San Francisco?”
Back when I was at school in Russia, one spelling mistake in the final examination essay meant minus one mark ("A" to "B", "B" to "C" and so on). From today's point of view, this seems somewhat egregious.

> Especially when the distinction between words and phonemes can seem rather arbitrary in a language full of clitics.

Uhh... Russian doesn't have a lot of clitics. There are compound words like in German, but they are still understandable if you read them phonetically.

And most children learn to read first by sounding aloud individual letters, and then just training to do it faster. It's called "reading by syllables".

But Ukrainian is still even better. It's almost completely phonetic both ways and you usually can write down any word you hear without problems, even if you hear it for the first time. There are still some double consonants and a small amount of reduced vowels, but even they are still somewhat reflected phonetically.
So I read the article. I have no doubt that some people would love to suspend constitutional rights and use the military to start rounding up anybody they don’t like, but that doesn’t feel like the kind of thing we do in the US.
You’re correct, it’s unfair of me to insult newer FAANGM employees without also insulting the lazy, overpaid, freeloading lifers who set the wrong hiring targets at said companies.

I use the term freeloader because the truth is…network effects exploit an inefficiency in human social dynamics that’s so powerful, it produces monopoly-level market capture and profits. So it’s a fair assumption to make that anyone hired at a network Monopoly money machine like LinkedIn will, inevitably, turn into a do-nothing freeloader (not necessarily through any fault of their own).
To me, the biggest downside is that the government is running this.

If the government turns on an LVT, do you trust them to turn off other forms of funding? Or do you think they're just going to decide that their income went up?

I kind of trust them, but I don't have very high confidence that they won't decide that they "need" the extra money, maybe just for some "emergency" situation...

I think the missing piece here is how POSIX specifiers the environment: `getenv(3)` and `setenv(3)` are accessors for `environ`[1], which is just a pointer to some memory (over which walking is also specified[2]). That level of granularity means that it's pretty hard to add any locking here.

> those point to the uselessness of the CPI as a matric

Unless you're setting federal policy, it probably is useless to you. For personal forecasting, you're better off using the CPI calculated for your state or metropolitan area. (If you're procuring at a national scale, you're looking at a producer index.)
The sarcastic answer to that would be something along the lines of “users should be aware of what they’re doing, and you should be more careful about calling those concurrently anyway/good-luck-have-fun”.

Show HN: Obiklip – read transcripts, find and create video segments quickly
I'm a video editor, but not very professional. I mostly edit speech and podcast videos to highlight interesting parts and make short clips. I've found that the most time-consuming task is finding interesting segments in a full-length video.

It usually takes me 2-3 hours of continuous listening just to find the 'timestamps' where the interesting points start and end. I'm referring to source videos that are 30 min to 1 hour long.

Nowadays, getting transcriptions for videos is easy with AI. So, why not use that to find segments? Reading through a transcription is much quicker and easier than listening to the whole video.

You can't predict what the speaker in the video will say, so you need to listen, go back and forth, and keep repeating this process until you finish the video.

So, I created Obiklip. Now I can go through each line of the transcription, listen to each line, read or skim through it. It saves me hours! Of course, there's still detailed post-production editing to do, but finding points to highlight is no longer a pain.

As the only developer for this project, I'm happy to share this and hear feedback from the community!
