This is why I read HackerNews.

Every month there’s a new article that improves my suburban missile defense system* and helps guarantee that my neighbors will never let their dogs poop on my lawn ever again.

Terrain mapping my neighborhood so that my rockets can navigate to the right offender has always been a challenge. Now I can just use drones!

* It’s a defense system with missiles, not a defense system against missiles. That would be silly.
This isn't practical for everyone, but I've had good luck showing up to the Googleplex in person when their errors were too egregious.
You can run a pure IPv6 network that can connect out to both, though. You don't need to run dual stack.
Men are giving up on women in large numbers, just using them for sex and nothing more, precisely because so many men have this experience.

Most women perceive they contribute equally (or more), but vanishly few do by any objective measure.
Most people don't realize that governments can't just "print" currencies and the few that do (ie: Turkey, Argentina, etc...) have chronic hyperinflation. The US went a bit loose with supply and it already came back biting and still to this day struggling with the higher interest.

The government does constantly devalue the currency, though. It does it at an imperceptible pace to not scare the chickens and make business viable. But that's the most they can collect from this system. Anything more and they blow the whole monetary system away.
If it takes an AI to display empathy, perhaps we should surrender to the AI overlords.

Doing something part time is a good idea indeed. Finding it is kind of hard though, that takes time, but it would be worth it.
To varying degrees.

Throttle cables have been replaced with wires for at least 20 years.
Rack and pinion is slowly going away but odds are still pretty good that an arbitrarily chosen new car won’t use steer by wire; that’s still pretty niche.
Shift / clutch has been electric for a while now on most cars but there’s still some “pure mechanical” shifting cars out there.

An all digital break system is probably going to take a _while_ to become standard.

I miss the days of discovering random sites that had their own content. I remember discovering the warez scene and using IRC to snatch up the latest discography or film. I think I discovered new films and music just by browsing what was served up.

It’s a shame torrenting never became mainstream for legitimate content. Commenting and community engagement can be distributed or federated like Lemmy or mastodon and “primary content” to be distributed/streamed via P2P.

Successful content creators can ultimately pay for VPS to help distribute/seed. And upstarts can share their content on their residential connection.

It's not a problem of regulation but a problem of market capitalism. Executives in public companies are voted in by shareholders (even if so indirectly by the board). Shareholders seek return on their investment by increase in the value of their shares, which is directly linked to the revenue and profit of the company.

As a CEO of a public company, if you're not ready to do what increases profit, you will get replaced by someone who will. The main reason why it won't be profit "above everything else" is when there is a risk that the "above everything else" reduce either of profit or market cap: potential legal ramifications, bad press, etc.
Well, if we're sharing completely unsourced bollocks, this is exactly the opposite of my own experience. A good number of men in my community seem to live like slobs, take poor care of their health, have zero emotional intelligence, throw tantrums at the slightest provocation, and support brain-dead politics for purely selfish reasons, yet expect their partners to be perfect little sex maids who tend to their every need. Their value on the dating market is not nearly as high as they seem to think it is.
systemd has `/etc/environment.d/`[1], which can be used to set/update `PATH`. Support for getting that into a users session isn't very wide (currently GDM and KDE plasma only[2]), but hopefully will be in the future.

If comments as benign as "thin blue line" causes fragile entryist/activists to flee, I say Ted and the kernel team are doing the right thing. Projects as critical as the Linux kernel shouldn't be battlegrounds for the grievance of the week, nor should they be platforms for proselytizing. Others like him leave long paths of destruction in their wake. Lots of projects have been turned upsidedown by the drama they seem to bring with them everywhere. The salient point is contributors need to be more than "drive by" submitters for their pet projects. This isn't specific to Rust in the kernel, look at how much of an uphill battle bcachefs was/is.
I had no idea you could do this much with shortcuts.
What? That makes no sense -- scrollbars are there so you can drag them around and scroll, not just to indicate scrollable content. Not at all analogous in this case. The site looks nice overall, but the explicit indicator is bad design regardless.

The third of these also includes the kind of talking-head filler I'd like to remove.

Yes it is harder, but it's also harder for society to offer you the services like free room and board, help getting a job, and the thousand other services we offer in a high cost of living area.

Since society is taking up the bulk of the work in helping you re-enter, you have to make some compromises, and potentially moving to a new place seems like a reasonable one to make. If we want a robust and strong social safety net, we cannot commit to providing all these services in the most expensive place to do so.

The German automakers avoid competing with each other in multiple areas, including colluding to limit the size and dispense rate of DEF tanks and collectively claiming to lawmakers that certain emissions regulations would be impractical.

I can't find a citation, but I recall seeing an estimate that the German automaker cartel increased prices on the order of $10k per vehicle. I had also read that there is a similar cartel among the automotive suppliers, none of whom seem capable of making a windshield wiper set that isn't hundreds of dollars, or a vehicle lighting below multiple thousands of dollars.

“People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices.” -- Adam Smith

Is the "one polyp of mass that does something that probably makes the world a little better"… supposed to be DOGE? The single most nakedly corrupt government body in probably the past century?

Like, are we not commenting on an article about how we recklessly fired dozens to hundreds of people who were overseeing our nuclear weapons stockpile? And it turned out they're actually really important, but we're having trouble contacting them to hire them back? And the group that's responsible for all this… is somehow not the questionably competent one?

I don't really know what to say, man. It's pretty clear this isn't going to go anywhere productive. Have a nice night.
What's the use case for static IPv6 configuration?
It’s interesting reading that the reasons for jailbreaking a kindle are so trivial, amounting to adding some minor functionality to reading books and not much else.

Kobo jailbreaks from back in the day gave you root on a stripped down Linux install, complete with telnet ssh and ftp. You could even install python and essentially do anything the cpu/display permitted. Another cool aspect with those older kobos was that they had two microsd card readers… one hidden inside the enclosure that contained the OS, accessible without even needing a screwdriver.
It makes me wonder if I should pull my savings out of index funds and just keep cash in a savings account in the short term.

Normally I'd buy treasury bills, but honestly considering that Elon has been fucking around with the treasury's code with no oversight, and considering that Trump's big strategy for eliminating national debt has been to "declare bankruptcy" (whatever that would even means in regards to an entire country that is the world's reserve currency?), I'm hesitant to even do that.

I wonder if I should look into seeing if I can buy bonds for the EU equivalent of the US treasury...
Well, we are a part of a physical system whose laws correspond to mathematical formulas, but aren't formulas, they're existing physical, energetic relationships maintained magically in realtime. And, yeah, it's magic, this universe we live in, my friend.

So, while the math is reversable, time is a one-way street by virtue of the construction of the physical universe, which is not reversable. And it's that way because that's how this magnificent universe was instantiated.

It may sound trite, but sometimes Occam is bang-on. As well, there are endless unknowns, but there are also unknowables.

All matter is >99% empty, not counting field interactions. I don't know how much of it can be understood, but some of it is likely to be unknowable.

Like even no updates since 2018 might be ok if Evan et all communicated more about the goals and direction of the project

Evan especially wrote and spoke a lot about his philosophy re: the project which I think can be fairly summarized as “everyone just sit down and shut up.” But that’s not a lot to go on when trying to evaluate if a project has staying power, mature governance, and so on.
So... you're saying electric motors are inherently torquier?
> Recreation and Parks Department rangers would cite him and tell him to move

> The department’s environmental services crew...would tear down his tent when he was out and haul away his possessions.

> For Barrows, trying to forcibly remove Kaine from Golden Gate Park seemed both ineffective and cruel

> She embarked on a slow campaign of earning his trust and shepherding him through what one Recreation and Parks Department official described as the “arduous and achingly bureaucratic tasks” necessary just to be eligible for housing

> Kaine had no ID. All of his required public documents, from a birth certificate to criminal records, were under a different name, and they all had to be aligned to move his housing applications forward. Getting everything in order meant trips to various agencies — and the only way to ensure Kaine went was if someone accompanied him: either a member of HOT or Barrows and another ranger who was her partner at the time. Even then, Kaine repeatedly balked. For him, “it was overwhelming,” Barrows recalled.

> After seven months of cajoling, hand-holding, and advocacy by Barrows, Kaine in October 2021 was granted a room at the Civic Center Hotel Navigation Center, where he could stay until he was assigned permanent housing. Barrows and her partner helped him pack and hauled his two suitcases — heavy with gear, broken electronics, and sticks and rocks he’d collected in the park — up to his fifth-floor room. They helped him settle in by donating furniture and clothes, including the boots and pants worn by rangers. “We knew that’s what it was going to take to make it happen,” Barrows said.

..and long story short, the housing he got, sucked.

So they started by trying literally everything else first, including kicking his butt out, destroying his belongings, etc and then eventually had to have someone basically personally escort him through the system, to a get a shitty room and then get yelled at by his neighbors, and you're telling me that "he was given all those things, repeatedly". You didn't read the same article I did.

Besides, this article is just ONE anecdote. The system helps most people absolutely zero--on the contrary, it's a cruel as possible to homeless people in hopes they just move on.
> I'm not sure admins of old mainframes from the 80s would be interested in getting latest vim running on their hosts!

I doubt many 1980s mainframes were ever capable of running vim. People on 80s mainframes generally used mainframe text editors such as ISPF Edit (on MVS) or XEDIT (on VM/CMS)

Vim’s makefile does have support in it for compiling on Amdahl UTS, Amdahl’s Unix port for IBM-compatible mainframes, and so possibly vim could have run on an 80s mainframe running UTS. However, I’m sceptical there are any mainframes left running UTS anywhere on this planet-nobody uses it in production any more (apparently the last production users were some US telcos in the first decade of this century). I doubt any of the small number of still-working 80s/90s IBM(-compatible) mainframe systems in hobbyist or museum hands run it. There is a version available online you can run in an emulator, but it is an ancient version from the 1970s, whereas I believe the vim port is to a newer 1990s version-and I don’t believe any of those newer UTS versions are publicly available-either they survive in some private collection, or they’ve already been lost to the sands of time.
Is it possible that being a VTuber isn't a sustainable profession, then?

I have some insight into this, and it might be possible that with good intervention the ongoing costs are low... That being said, in our current system the cases that are severe enough to be in public housing easily cost 10 times that...
Nitpick, but $1M in unpaid bills is nowhere near $1M in costs. Obviously this is still a troubling result but in all likelihood it was less than 10% of that in actual costs and the costs weren’t in fact borne by “the taxpayer” but rather by slightly inflated fees for everyone else, since US hospitals must bill according to an assumption that some percentage of bills will go unpaid, due to the relationship between themselves, the insurers, and uninsured patients.
I've lived in Chicago since 2001 and when I got here it was pretty rare to see homeless people (and I lived in Uptown for a while back when Broadway was still borderline skid row).

First big wave of it (when you started to see tents appear under the highways and such) was 2008. Second big wave where that seemed to metastasize were Rahm Emmanuel's budget cuts. In particular, he shut down all the mental health clinics, and you ended up with a lot of people getting forced off their meds.

EDIT: Another thing, when I moved here there were still quite a few housing projects. I am not going to pretend they weren't rough. I walked through the ABLA homes most days and watched them get torn down. I had a kid hit me with a rock while biking through Cabrini. But there was a place where people could be off the streets back then. Now where do you go? What's waitlist for section 8 up to?

>It seems more likely that people would trade in local currencies

Use of local currencies is certainly on the rise, but the problem is lack of bilateral financial trust caused by various factors, including capital controls. There is the recent example of Russian companies being unable to get rupee-denominated profits out of India, they had either to buy something from India or invest money there. China is also quite strict with its onshore RNB flows which is multiplied by risks of secondary US sanctions.

Honestly, I am really surprised that BRICS+ countries haven't yet developed a gold-based settlement system centered around central bank reserves. My main guess: such system would work fine with a more or less balanced trade, but many countries intentionally pursue the export-oriented model, which would work poorly with such system.
you can reverse the playback, all the physics of billiards bouncing around works equally well in either time direction.

> If the balls start clustered together, they will scatter over time about the box and the replay of their paths has only one plausible time direction.

It is extremely unlikely that all the billiards will, simply by chance at some point in the future, collect together so they are contained within a very small volume. this shows that there is asymmetry in which direction time flows.
