- sacnoradhqThere's a lack of nosological classification of meaningful sub-types of depression and their specific dysfunctions. It's currently scatter-gun, medieval treatments without bothering to measure or understand the systems affected.
- From the comments as of writing, few read between the lines of this sloppy reporting: it's to standardize cloud-desktop apps for Amazon's internal use.
Meta, for example, consolidated to Workplace + Google, away from Dropbox, Microsoft, Apple, and others. They use AWS and Azure for some 50k desktops on demand and a few servers, but it mostly deploys to its own metal because it's way, way cheaper than AWS in most use-cases.
- The city of Austin is floating legislation to allow up to 3 housing units per property including campers, RVs, and tiny homes.
- Find me one contemporary example (ANSI C) with a disassembled screenshot.
This is writing sizeof(char) (== 1 almost everywhere) zero to address zero. It is not using a NULL macro or other predefined symbol.
In the real world, this would generally write a byte to address 0000:0000, leading to UB because it would fuck up the divide-by-zero IV.
PS: I used Borland C++ 3.1, Microsoft C++ 3.x and 4.5x, Watcom, and early GNU.
- And here I thought goatse was just for trolling and arp- and IP-spoofing http:// on unprotected Wi-Fi.
PS: NSFW in case the casual observer never encountered the horror that was goatse.cx:

- This statement would be technically legal on its own in x86 real mode if the compiler didn't do null pointer checks. However it would set the divide-by-zero IRQ handler to itself 0000:0000, and when the next division by zero happened, the machine run into UB (likely a reset or halt) because it would jump there, do 4x ADD byte ptr [BX + SI], AL (or ADD byte ptr [EAX], AL) followed by running the remaining interrupt vectors as instructions.
- Post-ACID for stateful services -> DHC: Durability*, hygiene**, and confidentiality***.
* Superset of bare metal recovery readiness, proven backups, monitoring, availability, and warm storage integrity.
** Superset of consistency, isolation, referential integrity, and data hygiene.
*** Superset of authenticated, G4+ FHE, and/or zero-knowledge encryption at rest and in-flight, elimination of side-channels, least privilege access control of metadata and data, removing plaintext paths, reducing privacy-liability metadata, and eliminating bleed-through of internal metadata externally.
- If you're not building a PaaS while running stuff, you should either rent or build a platform because having a reusable platform enables scalability and manageability.
And if you have 750+ employees, you better have an (endpoint) client platform too to minify development, non-development, and support variables.
- The Target here in ATX next to downtown hired 2 ex-PMC's in full plate carriers. (APD's call backlog for nonviolent reports runs 36- to 48-hours, so it might as well be never. A private person must then either be equipped to defend themselves, cease venturing in public, or move because the police may be too busy or too unconcerned elsewhere.)
- 95% correct. "Planting a lot of trees" has been proven dead wrong because of simple math, plant matter decay, and increasing fucking forest fires. Instead, #teamtrees couldn't face reality while doing the disservice of misinforming and lying to millions of people for egotistical and aspirational post-factual rhetoric. https://youtu.be/gqht2bIQXIY
- In this time period, there are many people who are eager to cause mass suffering, murder, sabotage, and dissolution of civilization. With advances in technological organization, there is an increasing potential for coordinated autonomous attacks against infrastructure, essential services, groups, and individual persons in multiple theaters concurrently.
It would be neigh impossible to defend against 100k flying drones wielding cow-knockers programmed to swarm, loiter, break windows, and kill humans. Such could be dispensed by purpose-built intermodal containers, moved by ordinary freight logistics to attack multiple population centers in a simultaneous attack.
Code and binaries are shipped to 10's of millions of servers by internal configuration management tools. Take Meta, Google, or Microsoft and turn them into AI exploit and worm fabrication at scale. While it may happen for only an hour or 2, there's quite a bit that could happen and the possibility of advanced persistent threats is real.
Target a demographic to alter their filter bubble to persuade them to engage in mass-casualty terrorism.
Hate group applies AI to create a designer virus lethal to particular a demographic.
Subtly disable water treatment facilities with an autonomous, stuxnet-like attack.
- The median population center of America is around Indiana, so the average delivery charge will be ~3k. The total delivered cost with tax will be about 30k.
Also, there is a threat of municipalities, including states, suing the manufacturer for selling manufactured homes that aren't up to code. While the cases may lack standing or merit, they have lawyers who can make it very expensive to stay in business regardless.
- My '85 VW Westfalia poptop camper is still cheaper than that by acquisition price.
(Not so cheap after solar, remodeling, restoration, and engine swap.)
- That's immediately what I thought. Plus, there is no absolutely no way this will withstand a 70 mph windstorm while you can fold a travel trailer down in a reasonable amount of time. It's not a secure, real, permanent shelter that conforms to building codes: it's an illusionary shortcut.
- Compost toilets are the easy part.
- These aren't ideal as they look fairly permanent. I don't see the labor or a time-lapse video of assembly or takedown.
- Risking sounding like Mr. Wonderful: I can't tell if it's aspirational, pre-product marketing or a parody. If it wasn't a joke, then they've just reinvented the travel trailer without the convenience or the trailer. My conclusion then is that it's an elaborate trolling.
- Although not homeless per se, I lived in a 80's VW Westfalia along the curbs of Silicon Valley for 9 years without A/C. It had a solar panel and I didn't have to buy anything except to keep fragile West German engineering going. The problem is most Americans aren't willing or able to exchange space and comforts, voluntarily or involuntarily, for alternative approaches. Compounding this is most Americans don't have any savings at all and are living paycheck-to-paycheck. If they had funds then they would have an opportunity to use their imagination and lives differently, but too many are on the debt, expenses, and insufficient wages treadmills that may seem all but impossible to escape.
- Getting to it and making a living between it and elsewhere is the problem. (Most American's aren't office workers.)
Also, much of the land isn't exactly ideal due to hazards.[0]
Furthermore, being 10+ miles from a serious hospital is a threat to life.
- Ah, the days of cubicles. Trimble Nav in Sunnyvale had medium-height, solid fabric-backed 6x8' and 8x8' cubicles in 2000. And it was nice to be tucked in a quiet corner of the building by the foosball table room before there was such thing as startup culture. Was almost detained by SGI security by Shoreline Amphitheater (near the 'plex now) doing field radio testing off a coworker's truck that looked like Van Eck phreaking equipment. I should've worn a hi-vis vest. ;D
PS: Raise a paw if you remember the rainbow Apple logo on the triangle building along 280.
