I'd think if it was amenable to mechanization, that would have happened in the last century or so. I distinctly remember Mike Rowe doing the job on his show "Dirty Jobs" so that might be worth looking up if you want a good picture of it.

There's plenty of machines involved to transport concrete via trucks and pumps and all that, but it always seems to end up with some grunt holding the nozzle and then lots of labor to ensure there are no voids and the surface is smooth.

I don't really know that much about robots, but the thing about houses is that nothing is really terribly exact - lots of stuff is just off by half an inch or something like that, so a lot of the work just ends up being somewhat custom. It doesn't seem like the kind of thing robots would handle well.

Maybe there's more room for it in prefab type construction? But of course there's a mobile home stigma there.
A "Karen": A woman I don't like.

I'd say it's a toss up, in terms of an unintentional pregnancy, in no particular order.

Prospective mother could decide on her own to keep it, and the prospective father is stuck with either guaranteed child support payments or trying to raise the kid.

Prospective mother and father have hormones take over and both decide to commit even though objectively it's going to be a brutal road ahead.

In what are probably quite rare situations now, the man forces the woman to have the kid against her will.

One of the two parties merely convinces the other it'll work out, and they both try and figure it out.

The parents of either party get involved and create a bunch of other branching variations because they've got money or want grand kids or that's how they did it.

I don't think it's untrue to say it's the woman's choice ultimately, particularly in places where abortion is legal, but it is an unfair characterization, because creating life is incredibly messy, fraught with all sorts of complicating factors culturally and logistically.

This is great feedback, not something I initially considered. I've add it to my todo list
Polanski is very different from Assange. Assange exposed US government secrets which directly threatens the US government's power. From the perspective of a government, that's far more serious a crime than (allegedly) raping a child because it directly harmed the US government's interests.

Crimes that directly threaten the sovereign are always the most serious crimes especially if they involve waging war against it or undermining its war effort. This is a constant throughout all societies. The next most serious class of crimes would be those that undermine the state's control of the financial system which is critical to its power. That's also why the US government has thrown the book at those who trespassed in the Capitol as part of a comically incompetent attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Likewise, intentional tax evasion is going to get the book thrown at you. When the state feels genuinely threatened, "human rights" and "constitutional rights" are irrelevant and will be "interpreted" to allow whatever the state wishes to do.
It was refreshing to see an off-the-shelf project box on the parts list rather than 3d printing it. I'm in the middle of a multi-day printing spree for a project and am learning to appreciate that not every generic box needs to be 3d printed.

That's client side. This law specifically makes this a server-side issue; the service cannot let a minor make an account.

How do you do that without ID?
that's interesting. the switch from vinyl to any of the other controllers was a very long time for me because I did not like the feel of any of the control surfaces at the time. the CDJ100s feel like fisher price toys which is probably what kept the prices a fraction of the CDJ1000s which had a much more acceptable feel. some of the digital only devices have gone back to that cheap light plastic feel with just a horrible bit of resistance.

i often wonder how people tolerate it, but then i realize most people don't know what it was like playing vinyl and have nothing to compare to.

Hardly. This is just a typical double free vulnerability, AKA a normal Tuesday in the C/C++ world, and which people have been exploiting in the kernel (with its complex object lifetimes and semantics) for well over 10 years now. There's no need to "plant" anything to find these.

Remember the Reddit atheist movement of 10-15 years ago? A not-insignificant portion of that population went on to become the alt-right.

You're making an observation about the USA type of atheist here, and I'll leave that to you because I understand that in the USA atheists are an unusual thing. But I just want to point out that in the UK and many parts of Europe, being atheist is just very normal. Its so normal that there's not really a label or a scene, and there's also a lot of just agnostic/dont-really-ever-think-about-it type people that would probably be classed as atheist in the USA, but in the UK they're just <unlabelled> because no-one cares whether they believe in deities of some kind or not. And many people might say they are christian when asked (46%), but dont ever pray, or go to church. A lot of UK people have christian weddings and funerals, but thats about the sum total of their involvement. Only 8% of the UK are getting baptised, only about 5% go to church regularly.

For example I see that in the USA its very important for politicians to talk about their faith, and if a politician is atheist it gets talked about as a 'thing'. In the UK its the exact opposite, the last thing we expect politicians to talk about is their faith in god, and if they do talk about it we get kindof weirded out (ref: Tony Blair in the late 90s).

I just want to point that out, because I know the UK exported Dawkins and that might give people the wrong impression. Most of the UK are quiet-atheist or quiet-agnostic. And they are quiet because its no big deal, there's no political or moral stakes, no-one gets judged for being non-religious over here. (Even in politics, where you might expect political opponents to nit-pick everything about each other, no politician here would ever call out an opponent for being atheist, because it would just be a nonsensical thing to call out, and they would be laughed at for even trying to call it out)
That one bankrupt US solar cell company the US government loaned half a billion dollars to (Solyndra) made solar panels that were full of silicone oil.
I was curious about power outages as well, and why tugboats aren't required for all container ships that navigate under bridges. I'm not arguing that tugboats MUST be mandated; just wondering about the cost/benefit analysis. This claims that power outages are more common now (but doesn't cite sources/stats) in areas (specifically California) where diesel fuel is required, rather than bunker fuel: https://baykeeper.org/news/column/tugs-test-towing-giant-shi... It also makes it clear that relying on tugboats to be on standby and "swoop in to the rescue" is seriously wishful thinking where bridge safety is concerned. This article from 2019 is about a power failure due to an Oil Mist Detector that didn't have a "harbour mode" option of keeping the engine running at reduced RPM so you can still maneuver. It also shows the link between engine failure and a need for tugboats under "lessons learned":
"– Although it is tempting to free harbour tugs as quickly as possible, in the restricted waters of a small port their assistance can be invaluable should something go wrong."
On the other hand, what safety or economic issues do tugboats cause? It will probably become a topic of discussion or investigation at least.
Yeah, I was told about left justification last week. Haven't gotten to it since I am in the middle of release crunch.
I suspect there's a type theory here where many cases of parent links essentially represent the exact same problem, and if you solve one, you can restate most/all of the others in this form and then it's proven too.

You know that popcount bit counting device that treats a word of memory as a short SIMD instruction using the 32 or 64 bit ALU? I learned recently that compilers can detect that and emit popcount instructions if those are faster on the target architecture.

I suspect if you can detect that, you could detect a safe parental reference device and let it pass the checker.
According to a quick search and reporting due to this event, apparently a quick number is a few dozen full collapses in the past 55 years, which doesn't seem to account for impacts and collisions that didn't result in full collapses. So that seems like a lot of bridges indeed, along with a lot of deaths and economic impact.

The reason why I would anticipate a container ship hitting that bridge is because of the video we've all seen. It's a huge ship that is going the slowest it can while still retaining control over the vehicle, unattended, through a tight spot, close to a bridge with zero protection from ship collisions, and all with a ship design that is apparently (according to other comments) effectively impossible to correctly maintain and keep running at all times. So I think the better question is, why wouldn't you anticipate a collision?

Companies are using the macro monetary environment as justification to undermine bargaining gains employees made during COVID. In the same way, companies have been using inflation as a cover to raise prices higher.

For established companies, I don't really buy the argument that the policy rate is forcing companies to focus on cash flow. Companies are just taking advantage--and since everyone in software thinks they're a top 10% performer no one wants to collectively bargain. And since workers cannot coordinate with each other, companies can do things like rolling layoffs to force individuals to come to the negotiation table with a much worse position.

I don't think that AI is a substantial reason for this. I'm reminded of the "No Silver Bullet" rule from Fred Brooks:

> there is no single development, in either technology or management technique, which by itself promises even one order of magnitude [tenfold] improvement within a decade in productivity, in reliability, in simplicity.

... now sure, Brooks wasn't talking about AI, but LLMs are not AGI and more resemble a modern iteration of a search engine, in my opinion, than a technology that truly breaks the rule. It's really easy to build software demos that look compelling like Devin, but even if the videos weren't cherry picked examples, the hardest part of software development isn't writing the code.
Have you tried 'wezTerm'?
Serious answer: it entirely depends on the variety of tomatoes being grown. There are some varieties that have been selected for taste. Typically, they will also have a very efficient supply chain with a super short duration between harvest to packaging to supermarket (packaging at the greenhouse, straight to distribution, to retail). They are typically about three times the price of the cheapest 'bulk' tomatoes (and also have a higher margin, in the end).

The main challenge with fruits, and especially tomatoes, is ripening versus shelf life. A tomato tastes best when it's as ripe as possible. Sweet, fragrant and full of flavor. However, at that very special time, it will burst on the vine or fall apart in your fruit basket within a day. Which is why you'll never find this quality in a supermarket. And why I grow tomatoes in my garden every summer :)
The TC article leaves that a little unclear: were they actually looking at the plaintext or just gathering metrics about snapchat usage? The latter wouldn't require decrypting the session.

If Onavo did install a certificate and MITM the connections and send private user data to Meta... that's beyond the pale. That's far more worthy of a cover story than Bloomberg's debunked secretive tiny chips story from a few years ago. It's equally as bad if not worse.

Hopefully the technical details will come out.
I would guess they (a) want soft realtime performance, and (b) would not want to introduce something critical that could interfere with debuggability or potentially reliability. I'd never do it unless it was the last choice available. Virtual paging is nasty and I wouldn't want the doubt.

100g of Lentils is a lot more food than 100g of mushrooms though.

Also, you do need some fat and carbs in your diet to, you know, live.
Semi related, I recommend roasting then dehydrating and blending mushrooms if you can. Mushroom powder like this is an incredible addition to many things, though my kids will eat it on its own regardless. A massive pile of mushrooms will become a tiny jar of powder.

And less related, lacto ferment them. They're then outrageously good fried.
how about only following people that you met in person? i mean it doesn't even make sense to me to follow someone i don't know unless they actually produce interesting content. such as say viheart or nileblue or even mr beast if you must. is it possible that any of these could decide to sell out and start producing content using AI? sure. but will they be able to fool everyone?

the problem is a lack of ability to recognize worthwhile content, a lack of critical consumption. there is also be a problem to find good content among the mass of junk. but that's already a problem now. i have mostly given up. i find new content mostly through HN.

the problem will be that a lot of good content will remain undiscovered.

so let me make this claim in response: the next big social media platform will be the one that will make it easy to discover actually good content as opposed to popular content.
Sure but most malware doesn't really care about infecting more than the user. The only reason to infect firmware is to gain persistence in the face of OS reinstalls, but those are very rare in general. Only targeted NSA level malware is going to bother with that.

For normal botnet/cryptocurrency stealing malware once it has user access it has everything it needs.
It’s definitely a learned soft skill to direct interactions to be collaborative rather than adversarial.

It’s too easy to fall into an adversarial discussion because of differing opinions (eg about code architecture) when really you’re on the same team. I try to keep in mind (and convey) the image of “you and me side to side against the problem on the whiteboard” rather than “you and me against each other”

Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but Podman docs say it supports "Debian 11 (Bullseye) repositories and later" - 11 is flagged as the next LTS version, with Debian 10 (Buster) LTS support ending June 30th this year.

So on the surface - if you're making the decision to try it now, at least - it doesn't seem that supporting Debian 10 is that big a deal. I guess if you've been on Debian 10 for ages & wanting to use Podman that could easily have been a dealbreaker though, but as someone looking to switch out from Docker it looks like it should be fine on the next Debians?
In addition to what others have said, it’s also a tricky cold start problem to get enough car issuers, users, and merchants on board. As far as I can tell (mostly from Acquired episodes linked in a separate comment), Block with Cash app / cash app pay and Apple with Apple Pay, and maybe PayPal are the main contenders that have a shot at competing with the network effects.

I think the major's point is that it doesn't happen otherwise - this stands out as a problem. My impression is that's because of the expertise and organization around missiles, while 'cyber' lacks expertise, commanders who understand it, and an organization built to manage it.

Loose or easily dislodged materials. My belt buckle was ok to keep on. Had to empty my pockets, take off my ring, metal piercings are disallowed.

You don’t want gobs of belongings piling up on your magnet, and you don’t want something large enough to pin the human between it and the magnet. The first scenario is quite expensive to rectify. The second is quite expensive, quite painful, probably fatal, and certainly traumatic.

One of the hills I will die on is the somewhat bold assertion that memcached primarily exists because Java got stuck at 1-2GB max heap sizes when obtainable servers started having 4-8 and then 16GB of memory. They got stuck there for long enough that a cottage industry of off-process lookup tables became tenable (also at the time Java was still UCS-16 encoded so you could save 25% of your memory by shoving text out of process)

I'm not ready to assume again that every popular GC-based language will be able to keep up with the available memory on cloud instances, let alone be able to vertically scale to a full bare metal machine. The value of Rust's tradeoffs gets bigger the higher you vertically scale, does it not?

I think the experiment is more about the judiciary and about tribal politics. There's ample case law against something like this, so to me this seems unconstitutional, and I doubt it will stand.

Regardless of anyone's views about social media, the fact that the government wants 'papers please' for you to access a website should really scare everyone.
