Exactly, this is what Apple are doing with their “Ultra” architecture.

It really is the way forward.
Where is the factual error? This passage is the one we're taking about right?

> Turns out that in 1998, SFMTA had the latest cutting edge technology when they installed their automatic train control system.

> "We were the first agency in the U.S. to adopt this particular technology but it was from an era that computers didn't have a hard drive so you have to load the software from floppy disks on to the computer,"

The fact of when hard drives became commonplace in personal computers (EDIT: or when 3.5" floppies were introduced) has no bearing whatsoever on whether this transit control system was cutting edge in 1998. This statement is not, at least not obviously, factually incorrect. So if you're going to claim that, show your work.
One annoyance with incremental search in file views is that if you press the wrong key, you have to wait some time to begin typing again from the beginning, unless you press Esc to clear the search history... except in file picker dialogs, it instead closes the dialog altogether!
>it's the Hail Mary move which could make the Twitter thing anything but a dumpster fire immolating $20b+

While Twitter wasn't making money hand over fist, it was bringing in $4,500million in ad revenue prior to the rebrand and had years where it was marginally profitable.

Musk's saddling Twitter with interest on the debt he paid to buy the company is one of the reasons it's immolating money.
Sort of, but baked right into the repo platform.

We need places where nobody lives to produce things. You cannot farm acres of land where everybody lives, it has to be done where nobody lives. You can’t raise cattle where people live because the cattle has to live there.

I suppose the converse view is that city dwellers are externalizing the cost of their existence and so we should see huge increases in prices for staple goods until rural dwellers are paid appropriately and we have equitable outcomes with respect to mortality between rural and urban populations.

I'm not saying they're the same thing, I said explicitly anonymity is a downstream byproduct of privacy.

I have yet to see a system or proposition that can maintain privacy AND kill anonymity.

Every corporation could implement zero knowledge proof schemes for everything I guess. That's what some schemes like crypto identification programs aim for.

>The problem people should be out here solving is how to provide privacy without requiring anonymity

>How we accomplish this in the real world and revisit

Maybe I'm simply ignorant. How do we achieve digitally the idea of privacy without the ability to mask your identity?
Speaking from experience, they do. You just don't feel it until the adrenaline (and/or alcohol) wears off. If you punch someone hard in the skull, you're going to break your hand.

Organisations always move slower than technologies. And if Microservies show anything it is that sometimes you just need a technical solution for a human problem.

The comment you made questions how much excersise operating a bailer involves, which is what I responded to. I don't see anything in your comment or the parent talking about how common that excersise is, which is why I offered it as an explanation of the incongruence between your dataset and your implication that bailing is effortless because it involves a machine.
And just to contribute to the discussion in a meaningful way:

The problem with text-to-music isn't really that text is a poor UX for music description, but also that it's almost definitely a one-shot process. And any sort of turn-taking with the user isn't really co-collaborative, it's really just being forced to accept or reject what the AI has generated, with little feedback or control possible.

That's why I think rethinking the entire UX from a musician centric perspective (rather than: "what's the easiest thing for me to specify as a tool-builder? I know, text to music") is such an overlooked endeavor. I'm much more bullish about things like the anticipatory music transformer, where there is novel contribution on the UX and not just the ML: https://crfm.stanford.edu/2023/06/16/anticipatory-music-tran...
Linux Kernel: Support for Apple Silicon TSO (x86 Memory Model)
I've never had this problem, because from the very first time I got wireless earbuds I got into the habit of taking the case with me whenever I take the earbuds. So if I want to take the earbuds off I just put them into the case out of muscle memory. The other benefit of doing this is it's a lot harder to lose them.

>These comments are saintly compared to what you would read on 4chan.

Uh huh... So I decided to test that theory. The first thread got the equivalent of flagged and killed, just like HN's. Strike one. The second:

https://imgur.com/a/WtDAL9o

Certainly more uncouth, but essentially the same sentiments of 1) being incensed at the idea of being called racist for choosing who to date based on race (which it is), 2) being baselessly distrustful of the author's motives and methods, and 3) pushing pseudoscience about the nature of attraction across "races". Actually, the 4chan posters were occasionally more charitable (praising the article for pointing out the plight of non-white men) and open-minded (avoiding a fixation on the race issue by pointing out that other forms of discrimination, like heightism, rarely receive such attention). Meanwhile, HN is supposed to be a much more principled forum. There are a few posts of the sort mentioned above, but they're almost to a one down-voted. The fact that discourse here (where people are putting a screen name on their comments, even) gets anywhere close to the kind seen on 4chan is incredibly distressing. That's reality.

In any case, I'm respectfully asking not to hear from you again. I don't think I have anything useful to gain from conversation with you and would like to be free from it going forward. I expect that you'll be reasonable.
That was a figure of speech meaning “to receive very harsh criticism”.

I've been surprised at how far you can get without indexing.

The person we saw was a master of science in physical therapy, and specialized in/had personal experience with concussion rehab. They were based near a ski mountain, and thus a stream of athletes getting concussed regularly.

If you aren't near any skiing, I'd seek out sports medicine/physical therapy folks who work with your local concussion-heavy athletes. Mountain bikers, cyclists, maybe football/rugby, etc.

They do use 3.5 inch disks; this is a misstatement: “SFMTA's train control system relies every morning on 5 inch floppy disks.” The SFMTA Board presentation justifying the >$600M upgrade shows a photo of the real 3.5 inch floppy disks in use that were written in 2021. https://www.sfmta.com/sites/default/files/reports-and-docume...

Typo?
Bash is better than ansible for configuring the core infrastructure underneath ansible.

In a devops workflow you "treat servers like cattle instead of pets" but your org still needs a few pets. Some host you control must either host DNS or manage your DNS provider's API key. Same for CA, IdP, git, backup and monitoring services, and the ansible machine itself. You'll have to manually configure these things before your "cattle" tools can run.

Once you're up and running, it's possible to make ansible manage it own dependencies, but this introduces circular dependencies complicates bootstrapping (consider a disaster recovery situation) and amplifies both the impact of faults and the difficulty of troubleshooting them. Do you want to be debugging python dependencies in the middle of the night so you can finally get ansible to execute the couple bash commands that will bring your ACME CA back up? I'd rather run bash directly.

At a small scale with a stable set of requirements, your core infrastructure is better served by a good operations manual and a simple deployment toolset with minimal dependencies. Plain bash fits the bill!
Ashburn, VA: The Bullseye of America's Internet (2012)
You make a good point. However, even with the disks backed up to a better storage medium, detecting data loss on the floppy and getting a replacement written and deployed to the correct location might take a while. During that time the system may face unacceptable transit delays.
> just UX thing?

To engineers, especially ones that use CLIs a lot, "UI" is simply "silly chrome for lusers."

However, the other 90% of users think that it is very important.

I have been looking at the signups for a while, and wondering why the SiA signups have been going unused (or the person tries again, with a non-SiA signup).

It was because of a "UX thing."

It's really, really important to take the "UX thing" seriously. It can make or break products. The OXO line of kitchen gadgets got huge, because the designer's wife was disabled, and he designed tools to make her life easier, which also made everyone else's life easier.

There's a huge difference between actively seeking something vs having it shoved down your throat.

The biggest problem with the social media systems is that they are normalized. Lots of school and government stuff only comes out on Xitter or Facebook. That's horrible.

It's like dealing with a car salesman. If you engage, you've already lost as you have sooooo much less experience than who you are fighting against.
How did they write #2 to be more convoluted than it is? The way I read it literally describes my average experience for any "2FA" login.
I think if you are acting in an advisory role, it's ok to have a backlog and take time to respond. If you are an approver/gatekeeper blocking ship of something, then it's not acceptable to just say "file a ticket, we'll get back to you as workload allows". Maybe have two tiers of tickets: Questions and approvals, giving approvals priority. At my company, the approvers are often the busiest people in the company (busy with other, non-approval related things too) and that never works well. You end up with frustrated clients looking to work around approvals.
I think what makes it worse is that a lot of 'UX' people seem to actively oppose these kinds of power user conveniences because they think they know better than their users.

Don't let the haters get you down, I love your articles.
My average 2FA experience when setting it up for the companies I consult for is.

Enter credentials -> receive push notification and press "yes" -> login.

They wrote #2 to be purposefully long and convoluted. "Copy/paste code" is somehow 5 steps, with a waiting period? We really needed to detail out "switch app" as 2 steps? Come on.

As another example:

If you were to give directions to someone on how to get to your house, do you say: "Turn right at XYZ street, follow that up to ABC street and take a left, last house on the right"

Or do you say

"When you are 50ft from XYZ street, press on the brake pedal. When you get to the corner, turn the steering wheel to the right, hand over hand, then get the car straight again, press your accelerator, approach the speed limit, check mirrors every 20 seconds [...]".

Both are true. One is unnecessarily detailed to make it seem more complicated than it is.
I think many people like the idea of bytecode, but not the implementation of Java/the JVM (especially if they have an existing codebase or don't want to start a new one in Java), and I think that's pretty fair.
But at that point how can you tell if something goes left or right?
mmm. Depends on what you consider the "sport."

My wife's a horse trainer. I could go down a long list of injuries of various severity that she's suffered over the years. There's at least one concussion (that I know of!) in there and a solid whack to the face that drew lots of blood but no other noticeable injury.

And that reminds me of the software developer I used to work with who was also previously a horse trainer but switched to software after being run over and breaking five ribs.

Unfortunately, this stuff is considered expected and accepted [shrug].

Beyond "kernel programming is hard", there are a few other reasons why it made sense for us:

- observability & maintenance: much easier to implement and ship this type of changes in userspace than rolling out a kernel fork. We also built custom AB infra to be able to evaluate these optimizations.

- the kernel is really good at making reasonable decisions at high-frequency based on a limited amount of data and heuristics. But these decisions are far from optimal in all scenarios. In contrast in user-space we can make better decisions based on more data (or ML predictions), but do so less frequently.
Eh, the article acknowledges that it's the highest rate nationally and provides the national rate (better disclosure than most articles). Their intent was to interview people affected by it. It's not a study but a news story. It makes sense they'd go to a more afflicted area to make their job easier and get some better ratings. It doesn't make the stories any less insightful to some of the issues faced by similar people. It's just like how the vast majority of gun crime doesn't involve schools, but school shootings get the bulk of the air time while the day to day problems aren't covered in detail, if they're covered at all. They're looking for the most impactful and easy story.
Good catch! Fix going up now.
What was the thing they got confused about and what is the fix?

It's just that it only makes sense to me as a security thing if Sign in with Apple is specifically more secure than other methods of sign in.

I usually like 3rd party logins, don't need passwords, but there's potential for them to be multi-edged sword. Depending on the implementation.
When we reach that world, let me know. I'm still tripping over a "python-lsp-server was simply not implemented async so sometimes when you combine it with emacs lsp-mode it eats 100% CPU and locks your console" issue.
I think people have different thresholds to watching violence, and there's a spectrum from cartoon violence to street fights to war footage. My mom doesn't like to see punching, even in cartoon form. I enjoy everything as long as it's consensual, fair, and well compensated (so not street fights).

The most common preference is somewhere between a Captain America movie and a John Wick movie, I think.

Folks who can't stand to see real violence wish it just didn't happen, the way I wish street fights didn't happen. But you're not gonna get anywhere offering what an MMA fan understand as an inferior product. And the MMA fans know there's karate and wrestling and BJJ to watch, they just aren't as interested in it.

I don't try to rationalize it much. I know most people, especially in the circles I'm in, can't stand to look at it. I don't mind that.

The idea that society has moved past the need for violent spectacle or something just doesn't work for me, because I enjoy the sport. And plenty of other people do, too

Fighters for the most part are going to do what will make them the most money. If the fans are there for knockouts, they're gonna go for knockouts. If BJJ tournaments offered the same money making opportunities that MMA does, a bunch of fighters would very happily switch
There are five the room games, not four.
Mac mini M2 user with safari here: The website causes 10-20% CPU load doing absolutely nothing. The spotlight effect also doesn't seem to work as intended. As long as the mouse is moving, the spotlight just barely moves in its direction. Then, when the mouse stays still, it suddenly jumps towards it. It makes the website seem a lot more laggy than it probably would be.

On chrome, the spotlight effect looks better, but we are up to 50% CPU usage.
MMA has lost a lot of it's luster in recent years with it's major commercialization.

It became popular because people were tired of Karate/TKD/Kung Fu/Krav Maga morons telling everyone their martial art can "kill in one touch" or something. So, Pride and UFC started and the entertainment was watching martial arts compete against each other in a near luta livre style. The idea of course being to find the best martial art. BJJ, Wrestling, and Muay Thai were the only survivors.

Once the global maxima was found it became relatively boring. At least to me. But lord was it fun watching "masters" of traditional martial arts get beaten up and down the ring and all the magic of their martial art going along with them.

It’s not that they think they know better, it’s that they know power users are the minority.

Everything is about minimizing expense to an extreme degree to drive “growth” in the current tech economy, so there’s little focus put into things that do not test as an immediate boost to marketability.
Wait, you’re suggesting replacing trains because the computers inside them are old?
Here's a great example of putting a bit of engineering into hanging clothes outdoors: https://99percentinvisible.org/article/hills-hoist-iconic-ro...

I've seen many great things in photos where laundry lines are strapped out between windows and across streets "ad hoc". But most of them were in photos. I think the "pulley" that carries the line and the line itself seem to be more durable than what my local building market sells... I can only get nylon lines and small pulleys, so I'm not happy with the projects I've done so far. The best lines I've found are the ones with metal wire inside.. the ones without metal in them break very quickly.

One that I would really like to have is a strong, durable multi-line rack that sits below a window. If possible, I'd like to be able to expand and contract it.

There's also a lot of ideas shared online for creative indoor solutions.

In general, Pinterest is the place to go.

Regarding crinkly clothes: generally if you hang up a wet shirt to dry, it gets less crinkly than in a tumble drier. That's an old tip for reducing ironing efforts :)

Regarding "hard" towels etc: This one is really difficult, especially terrycloth and similar material that's supposed to be very soft can seem hard after air drying. You can try to add vinegar as a softener if your water is hard, I find that makes a good improvement. And you can generally rub clothes soft - I tried folding towels and give it a good rubbing, works well to soften them up. I would also remark that after using a soft towel once and drying it, the terrycloth also becomes hard :)
A few jobs back I had something like this (crowdstrike or something, not sure) and it used up all my CPU on a macbook pro.

My breaking point was when typing in VS code had multiple seconds latency, so you type and nothing appears, when node_module folder was being scanned.

I recorded my screen and sent to either VP of engineering or CTO, that granted me the permission to disable that abomination from my laptop.

The problem is not with Funkwhale. The problem is with archaic IP laws and our collective unwillingness to fight for copyright reform.

If you don't mind straight out piracy, there is a ton of solutions that could give you a virtually infinite music collection and just get the algorithms to select the songs for you.
I wouldn't worry about it if I was the developer. Many people on HN might care but most people on average (even semi-technical folks using a tool like this) probably don't care. Most products have some sort of telemetry capabilities built-in (and any smart developer should try and understand their audience and app usage) and the people who care probably tend to on average be more wary about downloading closed-source non-App Store apps anyway etc.
I’d do it. I’d like to be the expert that can help them choose or maybe build the replacement.
