Are film studios valued less after a blockbuster? And yet, almost every US movie, good or not has a company set up for it and that company spends cash and gets closed down after filming ends. So they cannot be sued and the studios cannot be sued. It's a good old US tradition.
You can still enjoy rags even if they're mostly fluff and photoshoots. You don't have to convince me it's okay.

I’m a bit late responding, but thanks for accepting that you are unable to drive.

As someone who hits the road most days, whether in a car or on a motorbike it’s absolutely crazy to witness the state of affairs going on on the roads.

My uncle, who isn’t far off 80, but very fit and healthy has given his licence up this year after some pressure from family - I’ve been in the car with him driving and he isn’t safe, he can drive for sure, but he isn’t fast enough to respond to a bad move by others, nor if there is an accident ahead.

I’ll be personally removing my mother’s car when she is unfit to use it too. I don’t care what it costs in taxis or public transport, I don’t want her risking someone else’s life, nor her own, over the ability to get up and go immediately, rather than wait 10 minutes for a driver.

I’m grateful that they are willing to accept this and agree, I’d like to think my mother has another 10 years or so in her at this stage, but the moment it’s clear she’s not fit, that vehicle is gone.

No, but if the bank somehow tries to claim an investment loss (perhaps by acquiring the middleman along with its losses) then the IRS would probably scrutinize.

I invite you to search for dang's admonishments against flamebait and generic tangents, and see if you might be able to suss out a pattern and/or rationale for that moderation. Here's the site search:

<https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...>

Keep in mind that such acts are judgement calls, and I'll occasionally differ strongly with dang's take. For the most part, however, I find his moderation appropriate. Another point is that most HN moderation is actually performed by members, not mods, and admonisments (my term for his moderation comments) constitute only a very small number of moderator-specific interactions.

The prime directive of HN is "intellectual curiosity" (<https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...>), and ... regardless of how you feel about it ... taking a late hit on an accomplished author for one act on his obituary ... tends to be read poorly.

(Those whose lives were overwhelmingly negative may get different treatment. There've been a few recent obits that hit this mark in my view.)

And no, I'm not a mod, nor do I know what others' motivations are. I'm just pointing out the most likely guidelines and moderator rationales which are likely at play here.
That is not a popular thing to say about the internets own man sticking it to the man, but I agree. I havent seen the incelesque videos, but some of his content in the last years is very high on the drama, always bickering with everyone, whining about this and that. It is not the same as him fixing some board with a random piece lifted from some other board. This is a common pattern with people trying to do good but can't seem to come to grips with that they can't fix everything and thus become losers addicted to defeat. It is sad, I hope he gets better though.

Either way my own dog loves munching on the taller/thicker grass every time we walk, like he's a sheep. His favourite foods also include broccoli and bok choy so that could be why. I think a lot of people downplay the role plants play in a dog's diet (not required but helpful especially with processed diets that can lack organ meat etc), and they don't always get fed them at home.

An AI that can help referee papers to advance human knowledge doesn’t need to have lots of human qualities.

Do you know if lawyers should be paid up front? How about a newly hired employee, do they get a deposit to ensure they will show up on the first day? How about a landlord for your first office? If you make things and sell them to a store does the store pay up front? Can they return them to you if they don’t sell them? Can you get a refund on a hotel if you don’t stay there? How about a flight you don’t take, or a rental car you never pick up?

And so on. The world is complicated. How did you learn all that stuff and when?
Honestly, telecommunications companies in general are considered to have bad service.

I worked for a large telco for many years with a lot of history and people honestly hated the company, even if they came in store and had a flawless experience many of them couldn't be curbed.

You have everyday people using mobile and internet services that operate in the background that impact people heavily if they go down or their experience is poor. Then the process for them to get it remediated is speaking with service staff that often don't have the ability to actually fix the problem if it is infrastructure related.

Especially when internet services and speeds around a decade ago were/are struggling to keep up with basic internet usage.

As an employee I had gone above and beyond for many customers and had experienced some crazy stories where the customer was simply horrible.

True, it’s just one of the many issues that came to mind while writing this.

My solution to the issue is also full screen borderless combined with resolution scaling.
There are some striking similarities to working on another large OSS codebase: Mozilla. (I am employed there.) We have struggled with all of these things for years, and we have a much larger pool of committers (and thus much higher variance in committer abilities). Things today are much better than they used to be, even if all of the same problems are still present to some degree.

Some of what we did might translate well to PostgreSQL, some of it won't, and much of it is probably too expensive and/or too much work. (Then again, it's work that doesn't require an inflight rocket surgeon to accomplish, which means it's doable by a much larger population of developers.)

- we've long had volunteer (and later, employee) "sheriffs" that monitor CI, know how to back things out, and over time get better at recognizing the sorts of problems that come up.

- For slow or expensive tests that don't run on every commit, they'll also take care of "backfilling" test jobs to narrow down which patch or patch stack most likely caused a problem.

- As with most CI systems, there's a staging area that gets a decent level of testing before changes are merged into the main development line.

- Feature gates for larger changes, so things can land in the mainline and be worked on there for a while, with CI regression tests running both with the feature enabled and disabled (as well as feature-specific tests when it's enabled). Good for reducing bit rot.

- Extensive fuzz testing. This would probably need to be specialized to a DB environment, since they're obviously very stateful. Various forms of snapshotting are good. For the browser (and especially the JavaScript engine I work on), it's hard to overstate just how useful this is. I would guess it could work quite well for a DB engine too.

- Lots of resources poured into test machines. With enough machines, good sheriffs, and a rich test suite, test latency doesn't matter all that much. You may not know about the problems for a day or three, but if you can depend on either getting backed out or your feature re-disabled, then you can fire and forget with no guilt. (Ok, the sheriffs will start getting snippy if you bounce a landing too many times, as is their prerogative.)

I'm guessing DB development and testing has tons of idiosyncratic difficulties, but it all sounds so familiar that I think many of the same approaches could work. The inevitable "turning the buildfarm red" should not lead to "spend[ing] the afternoon, or the evening, fixing it..." Complex software is a different beast, and it's unrealistic to expect to be able to break all features down into simple obvious changes. There's just too much going on.

(You still can't handle just anyone committing just anything at any time, though. There will always be a rate of breakage introduction that your system can handle, and it's not hard to go over it.)
Jassy told CNBC in April 2022 that if employees were to vote in a union, they may be less empowered in the workplace and things would become “much slower” and “more bureaucratic.” Similarly, in the Bloomberg interview, Jassy remarked, “if you see something on the line that you think could be better for your team or you or your customers, you can’t just go to your manager and say, ‘Let’s change it.’”

How can expressing an opinion be in violation of federal law?
don't know about CA but where I live, sale price has nothing to do with assessed value and therefore property tax. Sure, if everyone was selling their property for 10 cents on the dollar that could cause a decrease in assessed value, but assessed value is based on proprty value not a specific sale price. (I work for county government and have a significant experience in how the assessor process works.)
I still haven’t really migrated to passkeys yet. Until Bitwarden on iOS properly supports them I won’t fully switch. I don’t want to have to manage a passkey on every device. So I will wait until I can sync between all my devices.

But when I did play with them a bit it seemed so full of weird pitfalls. Aren’t I supposed to be able to use my phones passkey to login on my PC with a QR code? I never got that to work. The article implies that might be a windows 10 vs 11 issue- but why? It’s a QR code. Windows 10 should be capable of displaying a QR code. I tried it just now. Windows pulls up a “making sure it’s you” box, with no buttons other than cancel, and no option to use the passkey from elsewhere. This computer doesn’t have a passkey, what is windows doing?

As someone who works in the "cyber biz", I don't think we really do like all of these supposedly catchy terms that are just more specific ways to describe the same thing. All it does is confuse end users with more jargon.
Which aspect of this article exposes fraud?
Singapore has very low levels of corruption. Even lower than in the United States. You can choose to dismiss them, but I think their numbers are reliable.
I think it is not RDBMS, rather combinatorial explosion of configuration/flag/option/platform is insidious and we, software engineering as a field, don't know how to do it well.

I think it is one of the largest impact problem in software engineering if it can be improved. Maybe a way to restrict flag interaction and reduce support and test matrix as a result.

Perhaps for you.

I'm using the glommio runtime & miri takes forever to just start the executor & then throws up with "can't call foreign function `sched_setaffinity` on OS `linux`".

Aside from clearly a very long tail of blockers from running it on non-trivial program on tier 1, the slowness is a real usability problem. It's slower than valgrind afaict.

I think dismissing issues as "but we have miri" is very short sighted and it's not clear to me that Miri will ever reach the point of catching issues in substantial codebases (the standard library is substantial in number of lines, but not substantial in terms of exercising all the OS features).
tldr; It's still a giant mess, and until browser developers get around to fixing it, it's probably better to punt on Passkeys for now.

The question is, can the mess get fixed enough before developers like me give up and move on to something else. I gave up a while ago, figured I'd check back in a few years. My current guess: I'll never have to implement them.

There are zero intended ironies or satire in the previous comment. Any ironies you read are inferred, and I'd love to hear what you feel makes things ironic!

I don't think that it's intellectually honest to look for good reasons for musk's gaffes. That's what I'm criticizing - the boot licking rationalizations.

Looking for reasons, fine. There are reasons for every bad decision. But they might not be justifiable. When a decision of his is widely panned and hurts a bunch of folks, then giving him the benefit of the doubt and justifying/rationalizing for him is the same as being a credulous tool, and probably serves as part of the general infrastructure of enablement that helps Elon - and other powerful people - do social harm. We have to take a stand sometimes, and likewise those who justify harms should be considered less than honest.

I don't mind if I lose some social capital for saying so, since I don't value the credibility of anyone who would ding me over this or consider the statement at all controversial. I'm arguing against rationalizers and justifiers, not honest analyzers.
