Is the worst you could say about anarchists is that they smoke weed? That's somewhat funny, please consider that for anarchists implementing their property norm of usufruct is a part of the social revolution through direct action, it's not really meant to me nice to the "middle class" because anarchists are revolutionaries who want to abolish the class society :)
There have been tests of producing fiber optic cables (iirc) made in zeroG. There are other things as well that are way too cost prohibitive now, but might become viable opportunities with this type of capability.
A seriously incredible achievement, and I'm sure everyone at SpaceX is very happy with what they've done right now.

I was absolutely certain it wasn't going to make it when I saw chunks breaking off the flap.
I'm not saying it's impossible to send people to Mars and even bring them back. I'm saying there is no point whatsoever right now, at least no material or scientific purpose.

Of course, building a "city" on Mars is well beyond our capabilities, so that will either not be attempted at all, or it will fail. Maybe by 2124, but more likely 2524.
All this shows is his PR spin is being a 14 year old boy rather than a more wide appeal spin. And that it’s working on you
It kind of reminds me of fear of nuclear power and GMOs. Are these things capable of causing problems without sufficient oversight? Sure. Does that justify the almost knee-jerk opposition to them, particularly when they could bring about vast improvements? Not at all. Too many people seem to dream of nightmare scenarios for new tech instead of thinking about more likely possibilities as well as the very real opportunity costs.
In fairness, I’ve encountered similar flakiness when using third party window/desktop manager utilities on Windows. Commercial OSes in general just aren’t designed with that kind of flexibility in mind.
It's 90% "do you pay your bills on time" it's really not as nefarious as you're making it sound.
> Since you asked for someone to steelman, I’ll chime in to say this graph looks great to me. As Canada has grown rich, our fertility rate has gone down. I have no moral problem with that, but it does cause a problem: as the population ages, the ratio of workers (who pay tax) to retired people (who carry a tax burden) shrinks.

This is not even close to the only problem. Our housing stock has not kept up with population growth, which is a big reason why housing prices have been so out of control here. It's not due to a lack of competition so much as regulation and population growth that has outpaced building capacity.

So I'm not sure I can agree that that graph looks fine. It's true that we need immigration to balance falling fertility rates, but this needs to be balanced by the available resources so the cost of living doesn't spiral out of control. Labour shortages can often be addressed in others ways, like automation.

This is really great. It certainly could become a product. I'm sure plenty of rich, lonely people would love to have a foosball-playing robot. In fact who wouldn't??

Also, this whole thing sounds like a competitor to Stuff Made Here. In a sense this is what Youtube was invented for. Congrats.
They're certainly fallible - but they can err on the side of civilian life rather than the drone's. That's a big improvement even if the errors are more common.
Out of all of these, I've only tried Yabai. It's fine. Things mostly work like I expect them to and I rarely encounter a situation that isn't fixed by restarting Yabai. That said, I'm hardly a power user. I have not disabled SIP and instead simulate features that would require it as best as possible through other means. E.g. workspaces can be switched by dispatching a key combination that is handled by macOS natively.

That's anecdotal though... How many of the current okupas happen in other's primary residence? Would be considered trespassing in those cases and a lot easier to get rid of them, compared to the other cases.
Thanks, but I'm more likely to use Windows or even TempleOS over MacOS.
The opening scene of American Gangster Denzel Washington’s character is the driver/right hand man for Bumpy Johnson. They go into a store and Bumpy has a heart attack, Denzel calls for help, and Bumpy just says “forget it frank, there’s no one in charge.”

And so it is when PayPal or coinbase accounts get frozen, or social media accounts get suspended without notice or explanation, Gmail accounts get hacked or deleted in freak occurrences. Good luck getting any help, there’s no one in charge, the best you can hope for is social media shamming which only works when you already have influence.

And yet, there are no robot soldier there yet as a chance to make Ukraine win. Robotics is still very much in its infancy, meaning a lot of potential, but robots don't have enough situational awareness, are not silent enough, don't have enough battery, rendering legged robots useless. Even drones still need to be connected to a central server. There are no drones doing edge AI, meaning they are very much susceptible to electronic warfare, breaking the link.
Maybe I am crazy, but I have found that living within my means is an extremely effective method for keeping a high credit score.
I've heard the same thing about DirectX 12 vs DirectX 11. One book basically said that you will probably have worse performance in DirectX 12 vs DirectX 11 if you don't know what you're doing.
Not the only uses, but certainly all of the widespread implementations of trusted hardware just haven't been able to avoid that temptation of privileging the manufacturer while securing against the user themselves. Every little hole is another setback that keeps the designers/implementers working on this layer instead of starting to tighten the noose on the next one.

Ask HN: How to manufacture a programmable mobile device?
Very basic question:

How would you source hardware that could be used as a functional mobile phone, where you build your own OS / applications on it?

The research I've done so far has mostly turned up Android Open Source Project derivatives. A couple examples:

* GrapheneOS, which is security focused

* Parental-control oriented phones like Gabb

What if you did not want to use AOSP? If you wanted to build a mobile OS from scratch, what is the path?

To start, how would you even purchase the hardware? Are there manufacturers that will do this? Who are they?

My understanding is that it would be easier to start with a certified baseband system. That's OK with me. I'm trying to get at how a person could actually go about building their own working phone in real life.
By program, I mean the function pointer.

The caller is not part of the subprogram, but the returned function pointer is, and if the caller runs it, it leaks out, in the same way async and other things do.
Nice to see another twm on macOS.

Somehow over the past few years Windows became the more vibrant platform for twms (vs macOS) with developers (including myself) trying to push the envelope and introduce many quality of life features you still won't find even in Linux twms today.

One of the NSF commentators commented the fuel for the landing burn comes from the header tanks (little extra tanks for this kind of thing). Still, I would think if one of the closed up sections had a hole that it would cause all sorts of other troubles.

Many years ago I worked on a campus with many "car-free" areas, but really big items like construction equipment, event tents, catering equipment, server racks, or industrial restaurant equipment still used a van or truck, typically with someone walking ahead to clear pedestrians and sometimes laying down boards if it required driving over grass.

My experience has been that most "car-free" areas in cities operate similarly -- they use a combination of unlockable bollards, speed restrictions to 5-10mph, zones for active loading/unloading but no parking, and/or no through routes to reduce the number of motor vehicles. But there are rarely zero motor vehicles.

> Have fun moving big items with hand carts.

If you don't have steep hills it's trivially easy to move moderately large items like couches, washing machines, and computer equipment with an unpowered platform truck. If there are steep hills and you're a skinny IT tech like I was you'd probably want a platform truck with electric assist or an NEV (aka golf cart). On the aforementioned campus it was significantly easier to borrow a platform truck or golf cart to move big items than to file a request and wait for moving folks to come with a van or box truck, so we became proficient at moving large items ourselves. It turns out with the right setup it is easier than most people think, sometimes even easier than figuring out how to lift the equipment into the bed of a box truck.
Squatters fight against private property which is usually protected by law, it's very rare that it goes the other direction. A lot of squatters want to abolish the possibility of someone having to pay rent to another person to have a place to live, considering that relation inherently oppressive and against a self-ownership of the individual.
Some of us are measuring the space in seas.
This is dangerous advice for actually protecting people.
Despite tech advancements, NASA struggles to match Apollo program achievements
It took NASA just eight years to go from nothing to a successful Moon landing during the Space Age of the 1960s. However, twenty years and $93 billion after announcing the return to the Moon with the Artemis program, the goal seems as far out of reach as ever.

For example, the Artemis mission architecture was complex to the point of incoherence, with puzzle pieces that don't seem to come from the same box. The rocket and spacecraft NASA spent two decades building, the Space Launch System (SLS), can't even reach the Moon.

NASA has been unable to match the cost, performance, and safety standards set by the much simpler and more cost-effective Apollo program.

For the first time since the early 1960's, it's unclear whether NASA is even capable of putting astronauts on the Moon. Despite decades of technological progress, NASA appears to have lost some of the engineering competence and project management skills that enabled the rapid success of Apollo.

Am I the only one who feels this way?
Could have been cool down, but also could have been the fire suppression system which uses (as I recall) both water and nitrogen to avoid combustible gas accumulation below the launch platform. That activates not too long before ignition, before the deluge.

Exactly. Everyone was worried about reentry, but perhaps more concerning than the question of whether the headshield tiles work was the question how well the material below can handle failures. Now we know significant failures of tiles do not have to lead to mission loss.
"And that would be illegal"

Where would that be? Most states allow personal safety searches during investigations of other infractions. For example, police can ask you to step out of your car and search you for weapons if you're pulled over for a traffic infraction. They tend not to do it often, but they have the power to and the courts consistently support that (I most states).
Humans cannot synthesise vitamin D, but we can acquire it through diet from other sources, including particularly fresh fish, which are abundant in Inuit diets.

Vulkan is super appealing if you're in the industry and have the time and resources necessary to profit from its advantages. But if you're a single dev who wants to learn game engine design, you're going to have a bad time. Most people also don't get that game engine design is very far removed from actual game design. You can have a ton of fun learning math, physics and computer science when building an engine, but beware that you'll likely be mentally and physically exhausted long before you actually get to build a fun game.

As I understand it, it's mostly a reflection of partnership structures at big law firms and consultants. At some point, you become a partner and bring in new clients or... there's a limited need for super-senior associates that mostly do billable hours and expect increasing salaries.
Great find! Specifically:

On a goroutine not locked to an OS thread (the default), don't take more than 1 microsecond in a single C call. If you need to take longer in C, lock the goroutine to an OS thread (runtime.LockOSThread), but then don't do things in Go that would park that goroutine (time.Sleep, blocking channel read/write, etc).
Direct3D 12 is basically Vulkan.
> This falls well into the category of a feature that nobody asked for and which shouldn’t exist.

I am curious what makes you say that. I don't use Windows any more, but I have been experimenting with setups that basically try to do the exact same thing a fair bit lately. I've tried multiple different projects from different authors/teams that solve the same basic problem, it definitely doesn't seem like something nobody is asking for/wants.
> Not everyone's goal is to progress a society though.

Thank you. That was my initial thought too. Why is progress the goal? Not everything has to "progress" at all times. What progress needs to be made anyway? And towards what end? Who decides that?

There's an inherent good to stopping progress and spending some time in a cabin in the woods.

If we never stop and enjoy now, then why bother with tomorrow?

And no, it's not a good plan against a nuclear war, Mars is far far far less hospitable than the Earth would be if we launched all of the nuclear weapons we have today. It's far more radioactive, dusty, cold, toxic, and everything.
Homelessness is a problem, even having to pay rent to another person to have a place to live is a problem. Squatting is just a strategy to fight an inherently oppressive private property norm.

I think a happy compromise would be

1. Ban all non-electric vehicles (because noise and pollution)

2. Allow electric taxis/ride share vehicles

3. Convert all reasonable roads to one-way, half for vehicles half for bicycles and other small transportation options (I’m thinking scooters, Segways, and such)

4. Remaining roads for bicycles and other small vehicles

The problems on the Southside aren’t fixed by high tech cameras and drones- those just get smashed and or looted for parts. Or the numbers look really bad so law enforcement doesn’t even bother because embarrassing the mayor’s office makes things uncomfortable for everyone.

Hoping it wouldn't turn into a surveillance nightmare with swarms of drones doing who knows what bidding, I'd rather welcome the replacement of police helicopters with drones, they are cheaper resource, make less sound and so on.
Correct!

The word cathedral comes from a Latin word meaning “seat.” The seat referred to is the seat of the bishop, who is the leader of a group of churches related to the cathedral. The bishop's seat is both a metaphor for the cathedral as the bishop's “seat of power” and his actual chair, the "cathedra," inside the cathedral.
1. Individual workers are leaving to better paying jobs
2. This is evidence that they have no agency and should be in a union

Yeah, I should have mentioned productivity growth - it is of course another solution to the problem. I think it’s harder for governments to implement policy that increases productivity growth than immigration, though.

This seems like very sound research based on the structure, results, and results handling.

However an equally long papaer could be written critiquing the gas analysis procedures used, and how that relates to the raw data they employed, in details that are beyond the range of the research objective.

But could turn out to be more significant than some of the detectable trends.

I grew up in South Florida in the 80s and 90s. I was familiar with the IBM office in Boca Raton, nicknamed T-Rex, and had a few school friends who worked at IBM on the IBM PC. From what I can remember, the Boca campus was like garden leave. IBM sent you there when they didn't want you but couldn't fire you. So it was full of IBM misfits who were thrown out of HQ. I never made the connection to Flight 191, and assumed it was because of Hurricane Andrew. But once the PC market took off IBM wanted that team brought back into the veil. A lot of my friends moved to Cary, NC, more famously known as Research Triangle.

Miami, and South Florida overall, is kind of a crazy place to be. Every couple of decades people out west or from up north rediscover we actually exist. There are good engineers here but the West and Northeast have loads of money. So once CS/SWE really took off as a career the companies down here couldn't/wouldn't compete. Trust me, if you were an Asian/Indian kid in Florida in the 90s and told your parents you wanted to work in software they were going to beat some sense into you.

I've watched money flood into the area and then get carried back out when the financial tides changed. I always imagined Miami could have been kind of like a Silicon Valley but the politics, money, geography will work against it.
