Martin Lomasney lived from 1859-1933, so I suppose it was around the time (1876) that Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone, but he certainly predates email!

Not sure of the origin, possibly Martin Lomasney.

This is a great idea! If the open sources licenses could be changed (if that's even possible!) such that only the original authors or their designees can create these signatures/attestations, then:

... If Google really wanted to ship bash (or whatever) with the certs/attestation, they'd have to cough up enough money to make the developer(s) happy. If they don't Google is out of luck, they cannot sign it themselves. So it becomes a tradeoff of how much money the original developer(s) want vs how valuable it is and/or how much it would cost Google to build their own (and thus be able to sign/attest it) if the original developers got too greedy.

AKA a free market software economy!

Right, the CNN article has information on how it works (HN removed the "how it works" from the title for some reason):

"Venice entry fee tickets go on sale. Here’s how they work"

EDIT: Fixed it.

No, I'm not concerned with Linux/BSD/macOS performance, it's pretty good (I took Windows out because it does have performance issues [0]!). What I am concerned about is security bugs, memory errors, buffer overflows etc, all of the things Rust attempts to solve [1].

I think for weapons & flight control, ATC systems, we already have Ada that's designed for "can't fail systems".

At least in MA, NH and FL, no not at all. I always slow to the limit for the toll booths (even the high speed tolling ones), but then I'm back to 10 over until the next one. Never had a ticket, I believe a cop has to see you speed and ticket you (you have a right to face your accuser or something like that, possibly urban legend).

NH has a lot of troopers on their highways, you really can't drive far without seeing several. In MA, I rarely see MSP troopers on the highways (aside from the one taking a nap in the middle of the cloverleaf on a big interchanges during the early evening commute when the traffic is crawling).

Driving through the NYC/NJ/Baltimore/DC I95 corridor, there's a lot of tolling going on, express lanes etc but I've never had a ticket despite averaging 10 over driving through at night.

FL has lots of tolling going on, but I can't say I've ever seen a FL trooper on patrol, usually only at the scene of an accident/breakdown.

The UK has this and it's super-frustrating! (aka it works!). With those radar based grey box cameras you see in urban areas, you just have to make sure you were not speeding when going past them (they even put handy calibration marks on the road to help you notice them). But the average speed ones have overhead cameras that read your license plate every 5-8 miles so you have no choice really but to stick to the speed limit (I have no idea what the margin of error is). Driving from Inverness to Edinburgh (A9 I think), they are quite frequent.

I feel a little cheated really, in the US it's you vs the state trooper, they have to see you to ticket you. You can almost always get away with 10 over on the highway and on a familiar road you usually know where those crossovers that they hang out in and Waze is pretty good at reporting cops in near real-time. Even if you end up passing a waiting cop they won't stop you for 75 in a 65. I'm pretty sure you'd get a ticket every time for 10 over in the UK!

There's precedent, when Apple named iOS, Cisco had (and still has) IOS. They just came to some licensing settlement for Apple's use of the name [0].

Actually, it looks like Apple also licensed the iPhone trademark from Cisco too!

If you've been to a Home Depot or Lowes recently, there's maybe 1 or 2 staffed registers open and usually a decent line of customers at self-checkout trying to figure out how to scan items & check out with several staff trying to help/keep an eye on them. These days I just walk to the far end to the "Pro" register which is usually empty -- much quicker.

It's an exercise in recreating how an Objective-C app works in C from first-principles. For example, the creation of the AppDelegate (see CreateAppDelegate() in AppDelegate.c) is interesting because it shows how to create a class from NSObject and attach the applicationDidFinishLaunching: method along with it's implementation in C. I've used objc_msgSend() before from C (to access the pasteboard from a CLI app), but never implemented any ObjC classes using C!

It's similar how you might attempt to build a C++ class from only C components by creating a vtable.

Exactly, but they have no easy way of direct metering domestic sewerage usage, so they do it indirectly via your household water usage (usually something like 75% goes down the drains). There needs to be a second meter to "subtract" the irrigation usage from the household usage so you don't get billed for that (and if it's a separate reclaimed water supply, then there's no subtraction, it's just a separate line item).

If you don't have the 2nd meter and your irrigation is running from your domestic water supply, then yes you're absolutely paying for sewerage you're not using.

I suppose it depends, but it's pretty common to see signs saying "Non-Potable Reclaimed Water used for Irrigation" in and around housing developments, hotels, shopping and commercial areas as well as resorts and golf courses.

According to this, Florida uses 820M gals of reclaimed water per day although this isn't all necessarily used for irrigation.

https://floridadep.gov/water/domestic-wastewater/content/flo...

There's a second meter that tracks the irrigation usage and that's how they subtract the sewer charges for irrigation. Of course you have to pay extra for the meter to be installed and there's often an additional "standing charge" for that extra meter in every bill, but it's usually since the sewer rates are quite high, it's worth doing.

My municipality uses 75% of the water usage (minus the reading from the meter used for irrigation) as the basis for the sewer charge.

Well they sort of do already — typically you pay less for water for irrigation (usually because sewerage is metered by water usage and obv if it goes on the lawn it’s not going down the drain).

In places like Florida however irrigation water is reclaimed and not treated the same was as drinking water and has totally separate plumbing and metering (and pricing).

... if you don't get the H1B after 3 tries, some international companies will send the employee overseas to an office in a more tech-work-visa friendly country, have them work there for a year then bring them back on an L-1 (intracompany transfer).

I'm staying at an AirBnB (with only a 15A exterior outlet), there's a supercharger not too far, but TBH, it works well enough plugged in overnight, I know if I needed to drive more, I can just go to the supercharger station. We were out and about the other day, but didn't go anywhere the next day, so the car was more or less fully charged.

Ironically I have a Tesla Model 3 (base) rental from Hertz right now. I saw it as a way to really "own" one albeit only for a week (vs a 30 minute test drive).

I like it enough that I thought it might make a good commuter car, but I'd still keep a gas car for when I needed to go far (~3 hours of highway driving the other day used 75% of a full charge and it's taken 30 hours on a 15A circuit to charge back up). Used the super charger, that was fun and the 25 minutes really didn't seem much longer than a regular gas station stop. I'm also worried a bit by the effects of cold on it in the northeast, although ironically, climate change means that we've had pretty mild winters for the last 5+ years.

I did look at prices for used Tesla Model 3's when I first got the rental and there are some great bargains to be had; TBH the prices on the Hertz used car site (linked in TFA) are not good at all, over priced and very high mileage (not to mention whatever condition it is in having been a rental).

All in all, I kinda like the car and for the right price (e.g. <$25K USD for less than 15K mile Model 3), I'd probably get one used, but would keep my current gas car.

In fact many states require LLCs created in other states to register as a foreign entity if they do any business in that state (incl. having a presence there). For example in Massachusetts [0]:

  Pursuant to M.G.L. Chapter 156C, §48, a foreign limited liability company doing business in the Commonwealth must submit to the Corporations Division within ten days after it commences doing business in the Commonwealth, an application for registration as a foreign limited liability company ...

So even if you form your LLC in Delaware, if you live/work/conduct business in Mass, then you must also register there -- it costs $500/yr and the statute requires that a non-trivial amount of information about the company be supplied including the names/addresses of "managers" for the entity as well as the registered agent.

I don't know what the privacy laws for foreign entities in registered in MA are (if any), but I suspect not the same as say Delaware. If you have a footprint in more than one state, you may be required to file as a foreign entity in multiple states.

The definition of a second is as follows [0]:

  The second is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the caesium frequency ∆ν, the unperturbed ground-state hyperfine transition frequency of the caesium 133 atom, to be 9 192 631 770 when expressed in the unit Hz, which is equal to s−1

But with the Moon's lower gravity, time flows very slightly faster (a moon-second is 0.99999999999848 of an earth second according to a sibling post). I'm no physicist, but my assumption is that the SI definition of a second would still be true on the moon (at least relative to the moon's reference frame). So it would make sense to me to leave a second defined as a SI second, regardless of your reference frame because that's how humans, science & technology measure time passing.

I think the bigger calendar problem with space travel is the differences in the length of a day (or sol), as we know it's 24hrs on earth, Mars is 24h 37m (not sure about the moon since it's tidally locked its ~27x24hrs). The drift of days between Mars and Earth is going to be far more noticeable than a tiny fraction of a second due to relativity.

Of course they can. Have you not seen any Bond or Mission Impossible Movies?

But seriously, why would they not be able to? They will almost certainly have high-level connections into the State Dept. (or whatever agency issues passports for your country) that allows them to create any passports they need. Same way the Police can get license plates for undercover vehicles from the DMV that don't list "One Police Plaza" if someone (i.e. "other" Police) runs the plates.

So this looks like it might even support "cloud" based email services with OAuth2/MFA authentication such as Outlook/Exchange in the cloud:

Exactly, while the legislature let EMC "lobby away" the attempts to meaningfully reform non-competes, Gov. Healy wonders why the AI lead has slipped from the state and is now forming an AI "task force":

https://whdh.com/news/gov-healey-assembles-artificial-intell...

“Boston, in general, was one of the leading spots for AI,” said task force member Usama Fayyad, who is Executive Director of the Institute for Experiential AI at Northeastern University. “For I would say a couple of decades, in the very beginnings of artificial intelligence.”

“The governor was saying, ‘Hey, why have we let this lead slip away from our state and how do we bring it back in a big way?’ I think the state is going to identify areas of strength where we can have distinction,” he said.

I don' think it's a bad gamble, it'll just take longer then expected to lease all of this. IMHO, I think the Boston "tech hub" has pivoted in the last 20 years to biotech/life sciences. Kendall in particular seems to have more and more biotech, multiple new buildings around the Science Museum and Assembly Sq. Even Rt 128 "the computer commute" is ... well is far less techy these days (no more DEC, Prime). Who are the big s/w companies still based in Boston? EMC, Akamai? ...?

My opinion is that the pivot is driven by non-competes [without a much needed CA style prohibition]. Long ago you needed expensive computer time or pricy tools to write software, but these days you don't need a VAX to write software or an expensive MSDN subscription provided by your employer. You can do it on your personal laptop at home with open source tools -- your employer's non-competes significantly stifle this sort of innovation. However, Biotech and life sciences needs expensive lab space, specialized plumbing and infrastructure and complex equipment -- you can't really cook up a new drug in your kitchen on the weekends as you might with some new software idea.

So I think there's still a ton of super-smart people coming out of the universities in the Boston area, but the software folks are being drawn elsewhere (Silicon Valley), whilst the biotech ones stay because of the inertia here.

"boustrophedonically": now there's a word you don't get to use very often (possibly unless you're Indiana Jones). That's got to be worth something in Scrabble!

The question is, would the craft now need help from reaction wheels to offset the inertia from the moving print head / paper feed? Or would there need to be a special version of the printer firmware that kept track of its movement so it could always impart equal but opposite inertia?

@lawn, There's a typo towards the end (about 80%) down in the section on nvim-treesitter, should be `TSUpdate`, not `TSUdate`:

Excellent write up though!

I do the same and it usually only takes a few days to a week to learn a 16 character pretty random looking password, which with an 6-monthly change-your-password-rule is no big deal.

Except for the 346 people who died in two MAX-8 crashes: Lion Air Flight 610 on October 29, 2018, and Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 on March 10, 2019.

FWIW, Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 was a MAX-9.
