The local police parking lot trick is not always guaranteed to work. Meet inside the police building at least.

I did this a few years ago to sell a PS5 in the outskirts of Metro Detroit.

We were in communication with the possible buyers and saw them turn into the lot. As soon as we asked them to meet us inside they got cagey, hung up, and just left.

This study provides some interesting insights: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6292246/

It cites another study, Orbeta et al:

There are millions of habitual hard drug users that do have some personal responsibility, some family support, some sober people around them encouraging them. They are holding down jobs and paying for their own housing, they've already quit multiple times but have gotten pulled back in. For those people forced incarceration could maybe solve their addiction at the cost of their housing and their job.
Exactly that reference.
Why aren't such things connected with a lanyard to the spacecraft?
Why not criminalize violent acts instead? I don't care if the guy who attacks me is high or not, same as I don't care if the guy who didn't attack or bother me was high or not.
Basic arithmetic and algebra also can gain from repetition, since they are very mechanical. I wouldn't have hated math homework so much if it didn't work.

I think you're confusing Go's simplicity and explicitness with verbosity. Yes, it won't help you write the least amount of code, but this forces you to write readable code and avoid cleverness, which is almost always a good thing. Its error handling is an exhausted topic, but avoiding exceptions and being forced to decide how to handle errors where they happen is also a good thing IMO.

On the other hand, I would absolutely use verbose to describe both C# and Java. They are huge languages, with many features, a complex syntax, and conventions and patterns that lead to writing a lot of hard to understand code.

I'd use Go over both of them any day, especially when it comes to writing cross-platform GUI or console apps that can be quickly compiled and easily distributed.

Other options to consider might be Nim or Zig, but these are not as mature as Go.
SUVs should cost like 10 times more than regular cars to insure. They destroy the environment and kill people and the only benefit is slightly better status signaling.
The CAFE regulations are not causing this, in fact they are acting in the opposite direction, making vehicles safer. More aerodynamic vehicles are more fuel efficient and more likely to have lower and more sloped fronts and thus are also safer for pedestrians.

Furthermore, vehicles with higher fuel efficiency tend to have smaller engines and thus also have shorter noses and more sloped hoods which make them safer for pedestrians.

The only connection with the CAFE regulations you can make is that they are obviously not strict enough. Especially when it comes to trucks and SUVs. And I fully agree with this. Stricter CAFE regulations would help not only with emissions but with pedestrian safety.

The main reason for the difference between a 1990s f150 and 2020s f150 is that people have been preferring to buy bigger trucks and Ford has catered to that preference by making the trucks bigger CAFE regulations be dammed. To their credit Ford has done some very good r&d work, trying to keep their ever larger trucks relatively fuel efficient, such as by their very well publicized conversion to aluminum. But they could and should be doing more and the government should be doing more to force them to do more.
Also just for some context, a perennial problem in Oregon is that many of the people in government agencies are opposed to the majority view of Oregonians.

One simple example of this is cannabis legalization. After the ballot measure passed, the Oregon Liquor Commission dragged its heels on implementation deliberately. The agency is primarily staffed by people who live in Salem or the surrounding area, and are considerably more conservative than the average Oregonian, due to how our population is concentrated in Portland. In the end the legislature had to force the OLC to implement things, and they basically chose the "Do what CO did" route which ironically enough was even more liberal than what was decided on before OLC started obstruction.

Another example is the Oregon DOT. All they focus on is freeway and highway expansion. They are actively hostile to multimode transportation and mass transit. Near where I live there's been a years long battle over widening I5. They want to encroach on an elementary school where particulate levels are already high enough often the kids aren't allowed outside at recess. DOT's plan would bring the highway practically right up to the side of the building. And the worst thing is adding 2 more lanes will not accomplish anything long term. The most simple thing we could do to help traffic on that section of I5 is ban trucks heading further north from using I5 through the city, and force them onto I205 to go around instead. It even takes roughly the same amount of time, but all the long haul truckers just robotically go right through the core of downtown.

And finally, saying the police aren't writing tickets because treatment wasn't available is being too charitable to them. They're opposed to these policies and are deliberately trying to sabotage them. If they hand out tickets and no treatment option is available a judge can simply wave the fine.

So please, when you hear stories about Oregon and Portland, please understand we're in a decades long siege against our own police and bureaucrats, who are far more conservative than the average voter here. Thanks to the alt right weirdos, Portland and Oregon are now a favorite punching bag in media, who never want to provide this context to what's happening.
> It’s a bold claim I know. But I struggle to think of a single reason why you would use TCP over QUIC going forward.

I know that I'm talking about apples vs oranges, but how long have we been waiting for IPv6 to take over from IPv4? I don't see QUIC taking over from TCP any time soon.

Why do employers ask 'What was your last salary?'
That is okay though. They had a good run, and they are burned into the memories of many fans from that era. Not everything needs to grow forever. Some things grow for a minute, then die, leaving the world a better place in their passing.

Or they burninate the country side, whatever. :)
I stand corrected. Thank you. In retrospect it makes sense, since we also write dialogue and not dilogue.
Let's compare and contrast two of the most basic types of sorting algorithms: bubble sort and insertion sort.
'Reptar', a new CPU vulnerability
I wanted this to be true, and I really gave Windows 11 a fair trial for a while, but I hated it. Windows feels like a cobbled-together mess compared to nearly any flavor of Linux. Take for example the process of installing software. On Linux, type `sudo apt install the-program` and it's installed. What's that like on Windows? Open a web browser and search for the software publisher's website. Click around until you can find a package download. Download the installer. Double click the installer. Click "yes, I understand that I'm installing software downloaded from the Internet, and that's dangerous." Start the installation "wizard." Click "full install." Select the location you want to install the software. Click that you agree to like a hundred pages of the license terms and legal stuff. Delete the installer. After doing that a few times, I really started to miss Linux.

Updating software is also crazy on Windows. Every single program bugs you individually that it needs to be updated. In some cases you then have to download a whole new version of the software package and go through all the above steps. On Linux you can just type `sudo apt upgrade` or equivalent and all your software is updated.
What good use does alcohol have?
This came from a database theory study about queries on graphs: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3517804.3524149 for the paywalled version, https://www.theoinf.uni-bayreuth.de/pool/documents/Paper2021... for the open-access paper. But honestly I find the problem intriguing for its own sake.
Is not reducing the effective cost of a bad update by 10x or more worthwhile?

Sure, but if you are rolling out to 1% of users per hour, you detect the problem in a couple of hours and much fewer than 2% of users will have applied the update. This is a relatively small support problem.

While if you roll out to everyone at once, you'll detect the problem sooner (within an hour) but have 10x as many affected.
Practically yes, in the sense that not getting run over is a high priority. However, we should repeat that it is the drivers’ responsibility to be alert. That pedestrians have to take this sort of measure is a general failure on the part of our driving culture.
Rivian layoffs earlier this year [2] combined with reports of $33K loss per sale [1]. Rivian is hemorrhaging money right now.

Did you, by any chance, miss all the political anti-Musk rhetoric in this thread? Why are you singling me out, and not telling all those other people to leave politics out of it?

As for your "facts": without Musk, there would be no SpaceX, no giant teams of engineers, and no supply chain managers. Same as without Steve Jobs (do you hate him so much that you can't even capitalize his name?): without him there would be no Apple, no Mac, no iPhone. You seem to believe that companies and products spring fully formed from the ground, that nobody has to take the initiative to create them. Giant teams of engineers and supply chain managers don't just decide to come together to spend years and millions (if not billions) of their own time and money to build a car, or a computer, or a rocket. Can you point to even a single example where such a thing happened?

How would the 'bits' have come to exist without Elon Musk? Who would have taken the initiative, who would have paid for it? If you're right, why is SpaceX the only game in town? Surely there are plenty of other engineers and supply chain managers that would be up for building the worlds largest reusable launcher in their own time, with their own money?
Is there a book you would recommend that targets small-scale usage like mine? A CLI, a GUI, or maybe a Windows Service that fires off every so often.

I have noticed someone in a previous job who wrote an application that somehow tied itself to IIS despite not having any web site needed as a front end and found that somewhere between baffling (was there something I just wasn't getting? Is this how things are done now?) and intimidating (wow, that's a lot of infrastructure for something so small).

I'm looking for something which might target the IDE and little tips like the you have helpfully included.
>> As long as they perform the tasks of their jobs, why shouldn't they be "getting away with it"?
>
> Curious how you would measure whether they are "performing the tasks for their jobs".

How do you measure performance? Every job has some sort of performance standards. My manager outlines ine every year and I have an annual performance review (and a mid-period one at six months). If I am not performing up to expectations, I will hear about it.
IMHO:

1/ writing about niche topics people google search

2/ write deep long form content and post on link directories like HN, reddit, etc.

Not really. Open use isn’t allowed in Portland.

Due to a quirk in state law, Portland can enforce a prohibition on drinking in public (outside of OLCC regulated establishments) but cannot enforce a prohibition on smoking or shooting up meth or fentanyl in public.
Isn't this preferable to forcing drug addicts into prison? Someone using fentanyl on the street isn't actually hurting anyone but themselves

LCD/OLED follows a "Sample and Hold" paradigm, whereas CRT/Plasma don't have the same limitations.
This is a sadly all too-common approach to analysing risk and reflecting back the "absurdity" of people's fears (and TBH, I used to do it myself).

Psychological experience of risk (fear) has a large component related to the degree to which a person has control over their exposure, combined with the worst possible (rather than typical) outcome.

So for example, statistically speaking very few black Americans will ever be assaulted by the police but no black American can feel remotely in control of whether or not this may happen to them. And the outcome may include death as a possibility.

Statistically speaking, very few women will be assaulted walking down the street (even at night) but essentially no women can feel that they have any control over whether this happens or not. And the outcome may include death as a possibility.

And so it is with school shootings: yes, statistically speaking it is a vanishingly small chance. But neither parents nor students (nor teachers) have any level of control over whether such an incident will take place in their school, and the worst case scenario is death.

When people feel they lack the agency to control whether or not a bad outcome is more or less likely in their lives, the actual statistics of the outcome tend to fade into dramatically lower significance.
Snapcraft is very much a thing on Ubuntu Server as well. It will "remind" you of that often when interfacing with apt
I'm quite happy -- even in commercial development -- to not be able to download new things if the package source is down. But not being able to access my existing dependencies is a blocker: I must be able to redeploy my own stuff, and to make fixes that don't involve version bumps.

It's unlikely that I'll need a new dependency at the exact moment that the source is down, but fairly likely that if the source is down then I'll want to build something. For personal projects I'll have stuff cached locally, and I don't mind so much if I need to wait for CI. For work stuff I need to be able to fetch my dependencies in CI.

Also, hammering upstream with requests for every single build is both slow and also sort of rude.

I think you are misinterpreting this photo. Nobody has been paving over the fissures in the town. I think it's a combination of moisture, different coloured asphalt sections, and light/shadows that tricks the eye. As you can see in this drone footage [1] the car park asphalt is darker, and the hot water pipes ruptured in the ground create steam that spreads moisture over the asphalt, making it darker. Also, you have a building next to the car park which makes it even darker than the street.

It doesn't help that vehicular manslaughter is basically not punished at all in the US. You can run over a pedestrian or cyclist due to inattention or dangerous driving and get away with a no-jail sentence of community service of 60 days or so.

Is there anything more constant in American history than the impulse to cloak American wrongdoing in the moral failures of their victims?

> It seems a little crass to say "it felt like a genocide"

It seems more than a little crass to nitpick whether or not the word "genocide" is appropriate in reference to an invasion that killed 25% of southern fighting age men. The Yankees burned homes and granaries as a matter of policy, for the express purpose of starving civilians, which is a war crime. Genocide is a fitting word.
IIRC the MetNet announcement a few weeks ago said that their model is now used when you literally Google your local weather. I don't think it's available yet to any API that third party weather apps pull from, so you'll have to keep searching "weather in Seattle" to see it.
What you said, but I'm considering carrying a rock now. Drivers seem to think I'm disposable for committing the crime of walking somewhere. Middle fingers are only so memorable, but that ding in the paint or a window might help them remember I have the right to not be hit in a crosswalk.

The term "stream cipher" is much more general than how you understand it.

This strikes me as a non-sequitur? Could you provide me with a quote where I misunderstood the term "stream cipher" and how I misunderstood it?

There is a huge number of stream ciphers that have never been broken.

I understand this to mean, that the full version of the algorithm doesn't have any feasible attacks. That the difficulty of the known attacks is so high, there is virtually zero value to them over using brute force.

Based on how the encryption mask stream is generated, there are many kinds of stream ciphers

If you read the thread carefully enough, you can deduce which kind of stream cipher I was thinking of.
The new era of dirt cheap space launch costs starts when SpaceX successfully launches 100 tons to LEO on a previously used booster and starship, then lands them again. Given how few flights are scheduled from Boca Chica it's fair to assume it will be at least a year before that, possibly longer.

However, in so far as the raptor engines have flown, the belly flop maneuver has been validated, and the full stack has flown, once they're landing the booster and starship following successful payload deliver we could say that the new era started when raptor first flew.
And accomplish nothing. It was a terrible idea that wouldn’t work, rightly ridiculed by people who have been studying this for decades before Musk arrived.
Krita was never a fork of Gimp (and that's not what your link says). The idea of a Qt wrapper around Gimp was a kind of inspiration for Krita in a roundabout way but the codebases are entirely separate.
Yes, but it's not a great idea to start that either without talking to your doctor first. There are sufficient potential risks with ongoing aspirin use that it's not a given that it will be a net benefit for you even though it is for a lot of people.
