Could you explain this more? It's a basilisk how?
I don't know that townhomes really satisfy that -- not any of the ones I've seen built recently. The ones I'm thinking of are those 10-to-a-lot townhomes that get squeezed into previously unused spaces or a handful of parcels that the developer managed to buy up next to each other. They usually have little to no land (no front yard and a meager backyard), restricted parking (I have seen two-car garages where you would need to go out through the sunroof if you actually parked two small cars in there.) and are often built as cheaply as possible at the lowest cost.

Basically, a lot of the townhomes that I see being built here are effectively apartments and share many of the same annoyances you mentioned. With that said, it could very well be due to the same single family zoning issues -- it's very possible that getting permits for an apartment building in a predominantly SFH zone would be difficult. Getting permits for townhomes (which end up functionally apartments) is likely far more doable.

To the question you pose about the SFH replacement -- I don't think that there is one. Even if homes weren't an investment vehicle, I think to a lot of people the appeal of a SFH is the whole package; By the time you satisfy all the desires with something else, you've arrived back to a SFH.
It seems you're struggling with the distinction between what Oracle calls the JRE, and what large or at least significant-to-HN swaths of industry seem to be calling it.

Are you familiar with Debian? What would you call this?
https://packages.debian.org/buster/default-jre

You seem very fixated on the desktop aspects of this that have been removed, such as JWS and the Control Panel. Neither of those are relevant to Linux server distributions.

Until common Linux distributions no longer have an option to globally install a "default" environment that provides a Java Runtime via /usr/bin/java globally, it is nonsensical to talk about the JRE "not existing" regardless of what the OpenJDK team has decided for the future.
But Korea is more export oriented than China (proportionally) and actually has expertise in these matters.
I'm in this camp. Have you ever been to a talk given by Scott Chacon? He demos git on Github's internal repos. It's clear that there's little value placed on keeping a feature under wraps before it comes out over there.
It is easy to do NoSQL in any RDBMS:

The problem with all these mind map drawing tools is that they seem like a paper where you can draw and link your thoughts, but are too limited. This one, for example, only lets you add new branches to existing branches, it doesn't let you reorganize branches, or link from an item to another in another branch. I don't know how and if it should do this, but it is a problem. This is not yet the ultimate mind map solution we were waiting for.
Wow. Zip Disk really takes me back.

A highlight of my childhood was sneaking a pirated copy of Doom 2 on a zip disk and secret installing it on a school computer. That game was like four 3.5" disks otherwise, not easy to conceal.
They are used in space because it is much more difficult to use solar beyond Mars. Modern solar has helped in Jovian missions but RTGs are still preferred (even Curiosity uses a RTG for low solar radiance reasons). And beyond Jupiter good luck having a powered device with anything except for a RTG.
The President's attorney also ran a rally 2 hours before the riot calling for "trial by combat". Some speech is way over the line. There's always a wink at the end.

Even if the fairness doctrine hadn't been eliminated administratively, it's very plausible it'd have been overturned by SCOTUS anyway. Not that'd I agree with that, but given the way the court has gone on corporate "free speech"...

They did not. There was video of protestors both moving the ropes, and there is video of protestors on the opposite sides of the ropes. Both at least in NBC's coverage. (Unfortunately, they've made their coverage private on YouTube, so I lack a link presently.)

(Sibling comments cover the "armed" aspect well enough.)

You would have to build and maintain your own Linux distribution, that is the problem.
We have a 1980s style intercom that a prior owner installed. It’s an eyesore and not even that functional. I also installed whole-house audio in 2009.

Both have been entirely superseded by a bunch of Amazon Echo/related devices, which work quite well for that purpose and background music (some rooms I was able to interface with the whole house audio, but overall I wish I had that money and time back).

As we do painting around the house, I remove the intercom panels and patch over the plaster.
PiHole or a service like NextDNS works very well for this use-case.
I don't have any sources at hand, but the explanation I heard is that ventilators are generally used for people who have healthy lung tissue but are unable to breathe properly.

Coronavirus weakens the lung tissue, but the ability to breathe (inhale / exhale) is unaffected.

Basically the body was forcing people to have shallow breath to preserve the damaged lung tissue and allow it to recover. The ventilator essentially restored their breathing back to full force, which turned people's lungs into soup basically.

Makes sense as an explanation to me, but like I said, I don't have any official sources for that.
Most people on Hacker News are entrepreneurs that run their own private businesses. Social media platforms are not some sort of public utility. Social media platforms are private businesses owned by private individuals who can choose who they want to let in and who they want to kick out just like any restaurant or bar or concert hall. If you dislike who a social media platform allows or does not allow, just use a different one. For example, many Trump supporters use parler... A platform which is known to kick off liberal voices.

Or better yet, just set up your own blog on your own host and do whatever you want.

Yeah, I had a strange day off (2018 presidents day?) and went to the local pub and ran into the bartender and 2 customers talking about investing in BTC. I was kinda intrigued, but when I figured out that they didn't even know what a blockchain was, much less how one worked... I got pretty sad. I told them that at least BTC was off its high, but nothing more than a gamble. At least ETH was doing something interesting. I tried describing what a hash was and telling stories about Fred Merkel to distract them.

You said the same as me, with different words. That's it. When did humans have so much spare time to be discussing imaginary problems online? And getting so offended when someone disagree that these imaginary problems will cause our doom.

I'm definitely not an expert, but my understanding is that a per-user salt, which Slack was using, protects against brute-forcing bad passwords. So assuming a reasonable work factor, it really should be computationally unfeasible to retrieve these passwords. That said, I'll change mine, because why not.
Certainly your karma impacts what you do outside of HN if it draws people to contact you outside of HN, or compels them to take to interest in your projects.

I don't believe my statement made any of the assumptions you listed.

Not everyone wants to make smart-ass comments, but many do. This is more true with people outside our community (Redditers) than for people who have been part of this community for a while. Smart-ass comments are sometimes rewarded here and that is somewhat unfortunate. The general rule however is that they are not. You do not behave like your standard Redditer, and that might be why you no longer engage in discussion there.
I have never used R, but why (in the beginning) would you generate data in python and then plot in R, rather than just plot in python (which looks much nicer IMO)?
I'd expect the bonus to be higher, 10k bonus is what I'd expect a new grad to get a year out of uni. Although bonus varies a lot by bank, how close you are to the money, and if you get paid out of an "IT pool" or out of the "desk pool".

For base I think your figures are pretty accurate, although bases tend to max out at around £100k (in pure developer roles; developer management can go higher). A lot of senior devs become contractors, with day rates typically being in the £550-£750 range.
I don't know. OnLive can't scale very well as is. A liberal estimate would be four game instances per server, which means 250,000 servers for a million players. But if you're spreading that around, especially on players' machines that aren't being used at the time and may be fewer hops from the destination, it may be worth it. Plus, it'd be a good first step towards a mostly decentralized gaming infrastructure.
Low latency audio, hardware access, virtual memory, et al aren't handled at all or well by NaCl. So something on the scale of Photoshop with it's ability to edit 250MB+ images is nigh impossible with NaCl. Something on the scale of Logic Audio or Cubase, impossible.

Also, with a network bottleneck, mutli-GB 3D games will be unpleasant at best.

Maybe in a decade though.
It may be too late. I'm not saying that because there's some kind of time limit. However, why did you wait until 36 to start? I'm not suggesting you couldn't do it. I'm suggesting that it may just be that you don't love programming. There's nothing wrong with that.

But don't force yourself to learn something you don't love. Much better to partner with someone who does love programming.

If you do love programming, then do it by any means necessary.
I'd have to normalize the data for all kinds of bubbles in a variety of markets, not just the dotcom bubble. Plus, I couldn't see how to determine who was new rich based on the data.

In the light of morning, I'd like to amend my statement to "the expected value for a tech entrepreneur seems to be slightly higher", based on the definition of an expected value:

81 / 400 x 181.77 = 36.80
48 / 400 x 321.47 = 38.57

Given that the odds of making the list in finance are higher, it's still a better bet to start a technology startup.
I think you're right because the 2nd PUT doesn't change the value of variables on the server.

The statement may not be nonsense, but it's certainly not at a level of detail required to be genuinely true.

Variables do always have the same value and never change in Haskell. They represent constant abstracted unknowns. That said, a lambda binder which introduces a variable can be applied repeatedly and therefore each independent time it's applied the body of it, where the abstraction occurs, is now understood to operate with a new value for that variable.

That's very different from change, though. The semantics of beta reduction clearly don't allow for change---merely substitution. The statics of it clearly demonstrate that even substitution isn't doing anything new---merely replacing like for like.

Even when your Haskell program responds to outside interaction---clearly, this is dynamic information, right?---it's still the same static artifact which is doing it. The variables at this point are all erased. It's merely the semantics of your program under outside intervention.

>pizza and most (American) Chinese food; those kept reasonably well in insulated or even warmed bags.

I don't necessarily find those to be good examples. A pizza fresh from the oven will steam its delicate crispiness away in a box. The same applies to a fried dumpling.

On the other hand, a non-crisp dish like a vindaloo or a soup will arrive almost entirely unchanged.

When I order anything time-sensitive, I prefer to get it myself. That minimises the amount of time it is sitting (e.g. awaiting a driver). I like to arrive early, so I can take it away as soon as it leaves the kitchen.

Can we stop pretending that entrepreneur's are a new species that need special treatment?

It's work. A job. And, in fact, from an economics perspective, small business ownership by those under 30 is at an all-time low.
First off we have filed for patents for the main aspects of the invention. But most importantly, we think that they will have a harder time because they don't have a software and electronics expertise internally. Plus, we think it will take a "startup ethos" of rapid iteration and closeness to the customer to get the product right.
United Artists sort of started that way I think.
NT doesn't have fork. Supporting that requires copy-on-write semantics. And you don't want to stop fork just because you don't have enough memory for a second complete copy of the current processes; you might be about to throw all that away with an exec, and even if not you're likely to keep most of the shared memory shared.
I'm a programmer without any special finance knowledge and I also read it as being about the options the financial instrument at first, for some reason.
From a purist/non purist perspective:

There is something inherently wrong with CSS tables for layout. There are also technological hurdles.

When using RAW CSS WITH NO FRAMEWORK laying shit out is hard at best. Which is why you should use one of a multitude of frameworks which give you css grid layouts. There are also frameworks which apply css 2 table cell properties to layout your page using tables without tables.

When using HTML Tables, you are guaranteeing that your site will NEVER scale gracefully with lower resolutions and mobile devices without CSS (dying). While sometimes you do want to say "Vertical" or "Horrizontal" box, on some devices neither helps. You need wrapping, text area resizing (and i dont mean textarea tags) etc.

So in the end of the day: Don't do Table-based layouts. BUT ALSO DON'T REINVENT THE WHEEL. I think it is an equal sin to hack up a new layout css for every page/project as it is to hack up a new webserver for every little 2-page static html server.

From a technological perspective, tables don't make for good layout containers. They don't respect their width/height properties like you hope they would. You need to account for the dreaded cellpadding and cellspacing defaults, child borders/margins, etc. Avoid it. Trust me, a bigger headache in the long run.
It seems they are only going to be highlighting messages from your friends.

Spam messages naturally won't be from your extended social graph, so will be hidden and only show up in "Other" (if they aren't already spam-filtered away into oblivion).
Depends on your frame of reference.

No, really: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativity_of_simultaneity

There's not really such a thing as "right now, over there". To use the obvious example, from the perspective of the light, no time has passed since it was emitted at the object and our observing it.
There's delicate balancing act involved in deciding how much interaction and how much commitment you want to have and to allow on a social networking site.

Targeting, youth, a group happy to send each a hundred messages a day, can keep others away from you (and I suspect that there's point where the even youth "graduate" out of the ultra-social-ness involved in making a hundred messages a day).

I think Facebook succeed by being something you don't have to use much. I joined Facebook at much for the contacts who almost never use Facebook as for the people who are always on it. The thing is that the people who are always on Facebook can actually drive the light-users off.

Facebook now filters people's post so you don't notice the hundred-posts-a-day-guy. But Facebook won't be able to filter messages similarly because both send then receiver need some way to be sure important messages get through.
(hmm, it occurs to me Facebook was able to dodge "The Spam Question" earlier but now it's bitten off this big problem - ie, the problem of deciding what's a real, important message from someone across the world from you - something non-teenagers have to deal with semi-regularly).
I don't think that email is going away for a while because its entrenched into people's habits and it provides control.

That, and people don't seem to dislike it. Seriously, no one I know is frustrated with e-mail as a medium for communication. (Spam used to be a problem, but that was only because it got in the way of sending and receiving e-mail.)

E-mail is one of the greatest technological innovations of all time--can you think of another gadget used by a six-year old, a 106-year old, and everyone in between? Even the web doesn't quite qualify. The snail mail metaphor works, and people like it. As Wave demonstrated, the 99% of non-edge cases (none of whom work at Google) are not pining for increased levels of interaction, organization or complication when it comes to messaging. Mark Zuckerberg's criticism of e-mail, that it is too formal (or whatever), sounds like a guy with a hammer in search of a nail.

But then again, what do I know? As a non-Facebook user, I'm not exactly in the majority, and FB has proved me wrong on these issues time and again :-)
Yeah, but they had also hired the guy who created gmail ;)

Yes, I think we're actually on the same side of the argument here. TL;DR of what I was trying to say is that Uber may be exploiting drivers, but it's still meaningfully better for them than the alternatives.
Please don't do this here.

Everyone with strong feelings on $X (such as a BigCo or any other topic really) thinks that the community gets way too much anti-$X hate. The people who feel the opposite way think the forum is biased in exactly the opposite direction. These biases are in the eye of the beholder—they are predictable from your own passions. That makes comments like yours here particularly unhelpful, because they'll mostly just provoke the other side into passion wars, which are predictable and tedious and usually turn nasty.

I don't mean to pick on you personally. You're far from the only person suffering from this condition—in fact it seems universal in some form.

> But net/net, when a GHC contributor rolls up his or her sleeves, they on average have a bigger range than people who argue about ReactJS vs Ember.

In my experience when exposed to dynamically typed languages, they will argue endlessly on "how bad they are". Also proponents of strongly type systems are often incapable of recognizing the drawbacks of such systems.

See for example https://github.com/fsharp/fslang-suggestions/issues/243#issu... for a critique that is never expressed by Haskellers.

> I agree that right now it would not make much financial sense as there's a lot of vehement hatred of NFTs out there

I would consider that it's less “vehement hatred” rather than “clear understanding of the limitations”. The backlash comes from proposing NFTs where they don't provide an advantage. For example:

> Although perhaps for anything manual that is involved that person that owns the NFT could hire someone to adjust things so it works better in the game they're wanting to play, assuming there are tools included with the game to do so.

The problem here is that the person who owns the NFT doesn't own the rights to the assets. If the people who do want to grant permission to modify and reuse those assets, they can do so without paying significant amounts of money to a third-party.

Similarly:

> Just taking it as it is currently on a profile pic level, we see that Twitter supports NFTs officially now with Twitter Blue, and Discord seems to be on the verge of supporting it, and possibly more sites in the future, and even if other sites don't support it officially, unofficially you could use an NFT as a picture anywhere (even those you don't own of course, but most people in these spaces do seem to stick with those they own). That's taking an NFT and using it in multiple platforms, and companies having a financial incentive to include support for it, right there.

This is like Gravatar except that it costs hundreds of dollars, and it actually doesn't give the companies a financial incentive to include support for it unless they start selling NFTs. If they wanted to charge you to upload a profile picture, they could do that already and it's unclear why anyone else would want to encourage that.
For real, seems like a director got ready to make a movie about this event.

I think the issue here is with non-modular frameworks or opinionated frameworks and libraries. For example, Laravel is very much a framework, but at every level it allows you to opt-out of it's conventions and provided modules and do things your own way. And it doesn't end up with these problems.
I haven't used Zig, but my understanding is that Zig is more comparable to C, whereas Rust is more comparable to C++. Zig is a much smaller and simpler language, but Rust has more high level constructs and abstractions.
