How does Idaho's libertarian self-image coexist with whining about the traffic?

I don't know were you're from but in California that is not the focus of YIMBY advocacy. The entire focus of the California RHNA process is to allocate development capacity in proportion to the existing infrastructure of a place

You are projecting imaginary features onto O_APPEND and then hypothesizing that your imaginary features might not work. POSIX says that for a file opened with O_APPEND "the file offset shall be set to the end of the file prior to each

I don't think any part of your post is right. Aside from NFS, there should not be filesystems where this doesn't work. If there are, those are just bugs. The flags you mentioned are not required or relevant. Setting the fd offset

If you live in California I can assure you beyond any doubt that people from some far-away place have had outrageous levels of influence on your local housing policy. Almost the entire body of CEQA jurisprudence has been developed by two la

I wonder why the author left out atomic writes with O_APPEND.

"Employment" is not intrinsically valuable. It is an emergent property of one way of thinking about economic systems.

As I said to the other guy, the way that Trump wants to disrupt elections is not applicable to district elections.

Those aren't the kinds of elections that can be interfered with in the way I suggested. Those are district elections.

It consumes one of the erase cycles, of which a device has a few hundred or maybe a few thousand over its lifetime. It's not something you'd want to do frequently.

That's a pretty weird take. Her costume is typical of track and field athletes of the time, except that her jersey represents the nation of the Apple Macintosh, which you can barely notice in the ad because it flashes by in a split sec

This is broadly true of cheap thumb drives, but not true of all USB flash drives. The larger ones generally do support secure erase. E.g. the Crucial X6. I don't know if these use secret vendor commands, or if they use the standard SCS

Anything that works at the logical block interface will not usefully wipe the device. SES 1 will physically hit every erase block on the device with 20V to blow it away. This happens suspiciously quickly (< 60 seconds typically) but that

There was a recent first-past-the-post statewide special election somewhere?

If you live in the most pro-2A state, which is Texas, then you need not worry about this because not only will Texas vote Republican in a wildly lopsided fashion as usual, and not only will the state of Texas gleefully cooperate with Trump

I keep hearing this, but it doesn't make sense. This is electionist cope. The elections are decided in a handful of states with narrow margins. The ICE guys will be hanging around in urban neighborhoods with lots of minorities. Such as

The boys told me to stop bringing this up. But yes, correct take.

Americans have been in a hot civil war since January 2021 and just refuse to realize it.

FWIW Waymo may have been "seeking" this deal when Bloomberg wrote that article but FT reports that it's already closed.

Waymo is getting the I-Pace from Steyr, the contract manufacture who makes them for Jaguar.

It isn't. There is no sense in which "Thunderbolt is basically external PCIe". Thunderbolt provides a means of encapsulating PCIe over its native protocols, which puts PCIe on the same footing as other encapsulated things lik

> the community would like to weigh in on whether they want a data center This is the enabler of pure NIMBYism and we have to stop thinking this way. If a place wants this kind of land use and not that kind, then they need to write that

It helps because the NDA enables a regulatory function of the local government that they otherwise wouldn't have. If there's no state or local statute that says the proponent has to reveal a given fact to the local government, the

I mean, you are putting your finger right on the answer: the whole car thing doesn't work or make sense, and trying to make autonomous vehicles solve the unsolvable is never going to succeed.

A person who hits a child, or anyone, in America, with no resulting injury, stands a roughly 0% chance of facing a judge in consequence. Part of Waymo's research is to show that even injury accidents are rarely reported to the police.

"Unfair" paragraph is way too short. This is the main problem! The outlier starvation you get from contended spinlocks is extraordinary and, hypothetically, unbounded.
