Of course people have more than property rights. Like access to clean drinking water, infrastructure, and so on. It's wrong to assume their rights should stop at the border of their property. Like if they have a water pipe to their house, other people shouldn't be allowed to cut off that pipe. (As a simple example).

You are talking about a kind of societal contract of society having to provide housing for people. Likewise, there are other societal contracts.

"I don't celebrate anything but people are born in increasing numbers, the whole economy and governments rely on this trend so I think it is only fair to the new generations if we at least return to the respect of the private property which is long gone."

The argument "the economy depends on more people being born" doesn't really fly in a discussion of how more people cause problems (like needing a place to stay). I don't think most people are asking other people to have lots of children.

Even if you assume everybody should be provided with such a place, why in my backyard (or anybody else's)? Since you seem to have given up on the notion that people might deserve a nice place to stay in, why not just build ugly skyscrapers somewhere else (other than my backyard), and house people there? How about starting in your backyard?

Yes. There were loads of home computers and they all had slightly odd things about them. One of the main selling points of one range of home computers (the MSX range) was standardisation.

.wav is not a music format. It's meant for pure sound clips and doesn't even have the capability of adding metadata like artist and song name. If you care about sound quality then just use FLAC.

The streaming quality from Google Music is top notch, it just seems that you had a problem getting the music into the service due to an antiquated format.

> At least that lets you stream your local music collection

What makes you assume that Google Cast wouldn't? You can stream your local video collection to a Chromecast.

In fact, how is it restricted at all? If it works like a Chromecast does, the SDK is open and anyone can write receiver apps to run on it. How much more open do you need it to be?
> I wanted to try OpenBSD, however the amount of labor required to simply upgrade the system (Google "openbsd upgrading") outweighed all benefits for me at the current point.

It's actually not that hard. Even with the 5.4->5.5 upgrade (which broke binary compatibility on my PowerBook), I just needed to fire up the install disk, pick "upgrade" instead of "install", press Enter/Return a few times, and reboot (after which you run "sysmerge" to get your configuration files in order, then tweak $PKG_PATH and run a quick "pkg_add -u" in most cases (in mine, I had to save a list of all installed packages, uninstall everything, then reinstall from that list, but that was only slightly more tedious), similar to FreeBSD from what I understand).

It's only "hard" if you're trying to upgrade without booting into the install kernel first; not being recommended aside, even this isn't particularly difficult if you follow the upgrade guides, though perhaps it's a bit tedious, and just involves doing manually what the installer does for you automatically.

> Also, FreeBSD has pkg, which is a neat binary package manager - which is important on a desktop/laptop - and it looks like OpenBSD still uses the old, manual pkg_add way.

A pkg_add command is still involved, but it doesn't seem to be much different from most package managers; it still downloads binaries, checks dependencies, and does all the other nifty things that most modern package managers do. It ain't zypper or nix, but it does its job well enough.

Granted, I don't have all that much experience with pkg, so perhaps pkg_add is indeed primitive in comparison (it's certainly pretty spartan, to say the least). It's a step up from dealing with the ports tree directly, though, so there's that :)

> Maybe I'll try it on the third laptop, curiosity grows bigger every day for sure.

You definitely should.

Local government and companies have borrowed way too much based on real estate value that a crash would be allowed to happen based on what I have read, as it would have much broader implications than in the US.

Rents in Shanghai have remained mostly stagnant from what I've seen for the last 2 years, so it's good for tenants.
This is a typically poor example of ignoring the complexities inherent in analysing new user acquisition.

Suppose you implement a change that causes the registration form to crash for some subset of people? I am sorry to say for a while I was responsible for causing such issues at a very large service ;) Depending where the crash occurs and where you are counting signups you may actually get a massive boost in your metrics, as the victims retry with every attempt met by failure.

Suppose you correct an issue making it easier for people to login? Then lower registrations - the key here is to make sure you have a good metric to look at (e.g. accounts created that are interacting well with the site after as long a window as possible).
I read this when it came out. I still think it is one of the best articles I've ever read, on ANYTHING. :)
There is nothing "secret" about the operation of basebands, or what they put out on the air. This is just the companies protecting trade secrets, trying to avoid patent litigation, or just general open source averseness.

Linux includes an open source regulatory information database that several open source wifi drivers use, so FCC licensing is not an issue for open source software either. It is not a form of DRM and does not require any "black boxing". Obviously you might be able to modify the software so you violate FCC rules, but you can also build your own radio transmitter and violate the FCC rules just as well. There's no special case for it being software.

If you want to experiment on the radio bands, you can trivially get a ham radio license and modify the radio as you see fit, as long as you stay within the ham radio limits.
I think that was GP's point, but true nonetheless.
Exactly what I thought. I know that virtual assistance is hot right now, but this seems like a bit much.
Cool. Now multiply a circle with a pyramid. Yes, a 3D pyramid.
That's by far the most interesting thing about this, where are the details on that?
"I sculpt a virtual toy (a fluorescent green snowman) that I can then produce with a 3-D printer."

This sounds amazing! She didn't go into a ton of details on this, so I wonder if it's as cool as I imagine.

If done well it could be a game changer for 3D printing (and a "killer app" for many families).
Chrome already ignores OS-level name-resolution in favor of phoning home directly to Google DNS unless you block their IP#s at your border. I see it daily in etherape. Side-effect: Chrome users on my LAN have to type in IP#s to browse local resources because their browser ignores my dnsmasq, which resolves the split horizon.
Additional context on Risograph machines for the curious:

They’re essentially a hybrid between a copy machine and silk screening and have become much beloved by artists. If you go to any art book, illustration, or independent comics festival, books printed on Risographs abound.
> Do you feel the chair does justice to the price?

Was thinking the same thing. Also what about the $300+ Monitor Arm. First time seeing someone pay an arm and length for an arm.
It’s always a little bit risky to write something personal that will inevitably come across as something other than humble. Especially when it’s also mixed with something that comes across very first-world-problemy. Mind you that showing that one can do a little bit of calculus isn’t a testament to being a genius or anything like that. The examples the story describes might as well be equivalent to something more obviously creative in nature that isn’t bound by the constraints of time, like amateur painting or music making might be. (Professional mathematicians or physicists would agree that a hypergeometric series doesn’t even scratch the surface of “difficult” mathematics.) There are real geniuses in the world having extraordinary intuition being extraordinarily productive and have something to show for it. This is not that.

I posted this because I was reminded of it after reading pg’s Bus Ticket essay—which to me was more about discovery than it was genius. When you have 10+ hours a day, 7 days a week, with no dependents and no job, there’s a lot of room to follow interests, as petty/useless/insignificant as they may be, and frequently if you spend that much time, you’ll discover new things or make new connections.

The conclusion of the story maybe is obvious in retrospect: that doesn’t happen (as easily) if you have a job (or family or partner or ...), even if your work is in an area you ostensibly love. You won’t have the same space to dive deep in areas that you choose, and you may not reach the same level of creative zen. It’s not something I realized going into the job market over a decade ago, and I think it’s a worthwhile consideration for people who value not being preoccupied with what time it is.

(For those expressing concern, don’t. Or those taking away that I’m not doing something that I like or following my passions, I am. I still do the things I like to do, but I don’t sacrifice everything else in life to focus on them exclusively. It remains to this day that that has its costs and benefits.)
I think the whole point of Pika was to not require a complex local development environment for coding websites. Installing a bunch of stuff is probably the #1 or #2 main complaint about modern frontend and a huge roadblock for newbies.

By using their CDN you can already make pages and apps with just a text editor, without node, npm, webpack, etc.

I think it makes sense for them to try to improve the experience of package creation and publishing too.
It's not new. I remember being turned down if I didn't have specific experience in some flavor of Unix (HPUX, AIX, Unicos, Solaris, etc). Similar for specific databases, cluster software, messaging software, etc.

And, yes, as dumb then as it is now.
The UK mandates putting 'price per unit' on the price labels, which makes this kind of comparison a lot easier.
I like it even better when the big corporation "strongly encourages" its employees to donate to some charity, and then the company collects the donations and takes credit in their ads for donating to said charity.

At least Google donated their own money.
Awesome. Apparently my dough has been too dry my whole life. I love this point he makes:

Specialty flour is not a huge factor in this process. It's like when you see people arguing about the relative merits of 2 different tensions pulls on $1,000 tennis rackets, meanwhile they go out and miss the ball by 8 feet. Forget it. Maybe if you are making pies at the 99.8th percentile and you want to move to the 99.9th, then you should be worrying about this. Otherwise, let it go. Work on the BIG 3 factors: high heat, a good sourdough starter and technique (mixing and fermenting). This is where you will move from the 50th percentile to the 99th.

I'm constantly baffled by people who have $1500 bicycles but are... well, slow. I think in some cases, having expensive tools actually will make you WORSE. Are you going to train harder if you slip through 5 seconds ahead of your peer, or 5 seconds behind?

Don't buy cheap crap. Know how your tools work. But buying super-pro tools when you're intermediate is stupid.
What good is knowing the best way to do something if you don't actively apply the knowledge? You essentially do not have the knowledge since knowledge includes physical knowledge of being able to act on it in the moment.

Get knowledge -> immediately apply habit in most effective pattern -> Get more knowledge -> immediately apply habit in most effective pattern -> Harder Better Faster Stronger

'fit finder' is inherently misogynistic and a little bit creepy?

Yes, I read that, too. Seems like a dicy hypothesis to me. I would like to see some user testing.

We took the "army of angels" approach. Maybe we should write a blog post talking about why we did this?
I think the only practical test for sentience is 'can you argue convincingly you should be accorded human rights'? I still expect an AI to be the first nonhuman to pass it, but that shouldn't obscure the fact that many nonhuman beings are incredibly intelligent.
"Politicians in wealthy countries are more interested in supporting groups that produce measurable results such as the number of lives saved by vaccinations than in less-quantifiable goals such as building health infrastructure."

I don't get that at all. Building 14 clinics, adding 700 hospital beds, training a thousand nurses... all infrastructure, all far more quantifiable than measuring lived saved by vaccinations.

In any case I agree with those who find the whole thing a false dichotomy.

Cool! I checked out your src since I am having some troubling finding any node.js projects that aren't a socket.io chatroom or the hello-world HTTP server.
All this means a new tool, providing for new observations ... in a limited number of fields. It won't help in asking questions. It won't help in generating hypothesis. It won't help in running new experiments and tests in the real world.

I heard that Kinect only lags for a few frames. Perhaps the main lag is the rendering lag?
Yes, and also remove an open overlay whenever you click elsewhere on the map.
What a coincidence, I'm working on the same thing (more or less).

I too find it inappropriate to use a drug that hasn't first been properly tested by the president. Do lead the way, president Trump! :o)
He's talking about the FDA.
President talks about the preliminary reports that HCQ is working for treating COVID-19 around the world. It might be a good treatment here.

People freak out. "Preliminary doesn't mean proven!"

Man self-medicates with HCQ and dies.

President's fault??
Doesn't mean he is wrong though, the transcript is mentioned below.

I'm sure that was hyperbole, CHAZ/CHOP has 2 deaths and 4 wounded in a 24 day period.

So the murder rate is 2/24=0.0833_

Somalia had a murder rate of 599 deaths in 2015. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intention...

599/365=1.641

That being said, at least 1 of the killings at the CHAZ/CHOP was by the self proclaimed security forces. As far as I know no one has ever been identified or held accountable. If the idea is that you do not need police/ want to hold them to greater accountability because they are violent and kill innocent people but your replacement does the same thing...then what is the point?

Of course this only works for cases where the debugger can tie the lambda used as method argument to another stack frame, i.e. it doesn't help with async invocations. But in async cases one cannot expect the JVM to lug around the whole stack frame from the time it was created, that could lead to memory leaks.

And from what I've gathered the Jetbrains bug may not talking about the same thing as the blog postis discussing. Their case is about a captured variable that gets inlined in some way that makes debugging difficult, OP is about inspecting arbitrary, non-captured variables in the debugger.
That place could be Dubai, as that was how addresses were handled as of a few years ago. In such a quickly developing city, the typical street naming process cannot keep up.
Yeah, on the other hand, I never had easy access to a good darkroom after leaving school and pretty much ended up shooting color slides for a number of years--which meant, in practice, that I pretty much just shot slides on some vacations.

The combination of digital photography and the ease of sharing really got me back into doing photography as a more routine thing. And the capabilities of modern digital gear are just so amazing. I still remember all the chemical manipulations I would go through to get decent results from B&W at ISO 1600 or maybe a little faster. Today, I can easily surpass that in color with the twist of a dial.
Right, I meant to say, "I wonder how they're getting so much functionality out of LIDAR without mounting it so high?"

> The transit provider will then not pay the ISP to take the traffic and deliver it to their requesting user.

The "not pay" part is, I assume, based on the prevalent use of settlement-free peering in the industry. These agreements were based on a understanding that, over time, the traffic would wash out even between the two, so let's just not keep track and call it even from the start. This is not necessarily a given in all situations. Comcast asserted that the quantity of Netflix traffic was breaking this understanding.

This is pretty shortsighted. It's not the simple case of "what you can already do with two tools" that we should be thinking about. It's that stuff that you can't even imagine was possible until it integrated, in the same place, and with a good user experience.

You'll have information that's right in front of your eyes where before, the tiniest wall of separation was barrier enough to make it inaccessible or out of mind. Things will become the same, instead of just both being in the same place. This is the essence of good UX, and it has nothing to do with this specific case, but it will emerge from simple cases like this. First two things coexist, then they share, then they become one.

For a while, the iPhone was just a phone and a computer. People even said the same exact thing you just did: "why is having a phone and a palm pilot in one device any better than having them separate?" Then they started sharing features, the internet became pervasively accessible. Then everything started sharing data and features. And now we can't imagine them separate, and we have an entirely new class of thing that came out of it that basically enabled a revolution.

Eventually programming could be the same. Programmers probably have the highest tolerance I know of for compartmentalization of tasks and poor interaction design and data visualization: they are extremely intelligent and have the ability to tie things together in their heads and break down tasks and tools ad hoc. But when you don't have to do that, when programming becomes easier and more fluid, things will start happening that simply couldn't before.

We can only dream of the kinds of advancements in our tools that are yet to come.
The color ones are not (unambiguously) equivalent, you're ignoring bit depth and assuming 8-bit color values in one of them.
Agreed entirely on your summation at the bottom. No good CLI hex editors exist. It's been like this for years, not sure why. dhex is indeed the "closest" to decent, but still lacks... a lot.
The end goal here is to stop suspected illegal pump & dump activity.

The definition of "pump & dump" is to make false or misleading statements in order to get the price to go up, so that you can sell. It is not free market activity; it is fraud.
That superficially looks horrible. How do you write `Person (Compose Maybe Maybe)`, even, never mind anything more sophisticated?

Edit, for that matter, how do you deal with a `Person f` that includes a `f (Maybe Something)` without confusing "the user didn't specify a `Maybe Something`" with "the user specified a `Maybe Something` with value `Nothing`" (or vice versa)?
