That is one way of seeing it.

The way i tend to look at colors in a computer is as following as long as you use sRGB, LAB or possibly even CMYK then it is up to the OS to show that correctly.

In reality every device will have different background light, different settings, different manufacturing process and the list continues there is just no way all the parameters can be accounted for.

If you develop for the web or another multi platform environment you cant expect colors to be spectrally same from device to device. AS such you can not and should not develop applications that has that presumption.

Only in very specific controlled environments can one make the assumption that a color is what it is and not a representation.

So coloring in a computer is easy cause the rules of the "game" is defined.
Show a specific sRGB color and that is what it is. If you have a bad screen that wont show that color that is not my problem.

BTW the "RGB colorspace" is not a specific thing it is an idea, dont ever refer to such a thing if you want to be productive.
What's wrong with knocking down existing houses? If the homeowners want to sell to developers that will build higher-density housing on their land, what exactly is the problem?

I mean, probably every dense neighborhood in the world was at one time lower-density, and had its old buildings knocked down and replaced. This isn't anything new.
I'm just amazed that yavascript wound up on top.
>No locks.

I'm sure the author means there's no explicit locking done by the programmer, but readers should be aware that channels are actually implemented internally using locks (which are 4x slower than using a sync.Mutex yourself).
The same places that you put urban developments in most cities - you repurpose existing underused buildings and spaces in existing urban neighborhoods.

There are lots and lots of parking lots, underutilized commercial buildings, and low density apartment complexes that can be redeveloped at a relatively higher density.
Don't worry, we'll find some way to fuck it up.
Having worked in a greenhouse, much of the planting is automated in large-scale shops already through vacuum planters. Watering is similarly automated through irrigation systems.

Now, vertical hydroponics, that's one I hadn't considered. That may be a good point. I lack any experience with those systems, though, so I hesitate to comment.
That particular piece of legislation is just annoying. Some of the other privacy legislation is very good, though, as is the extension of consumer protection laws to online shops.
Why do you think I wrote that incorrectly?

Best color scheme I have found, I use it for everything. I can't even imagine opening up some of my code in notepad or vi(m) with no syntax highlighting and actually trying to do a productive amount of work. This suggestion seems absolutely ridiculous if your syntax highlighting is sane.
>It wasn't limited to just a single agent, Imaging Universe (the government contracted mandated provider of copying services for discovered documents) admits to doing this since 2006 at the request of the FBI.

Definitely that is what the defense is arguing, but is it true/can it be proved? I read the admission to mean just the 1 Agent:

“The U.S. Attorney’s Office has admitted that Agent Deanne Lindsey had been receiving copies of the CDs and had been keeping the duplicate CDs in a folder as she received them,”

On second reading, I think I see what the Government response to the Motion will be based this little excerpt:

>"The government’s Thursday night response acknowledged that Imaging Universe did supply the FBI with duplicate CDs of what the company had copied for Schapiro’s defense team, but said the discs “were never requested by any agent, prosecutor or anyone else on the government’s behalf.”"

I think what they will argue in Court is that the Contractor gave them (US Attorney and/or FBI) attorney-client privileged documents in error and they didn't do anything wrong because they were not requested by the Government and as soon as the prosecutors learned what the Contractor did they disclosed it. They might even say the one Agent didn't do anything wrong by "reviewing" these documents because the Agent, not being a lawyer, subjectively believed they were in rightful possession. Its actually an argument the government uses a lot to circumvent the 4th Amendment protection of illegal searches and seizures. More specifically, the 4th Amendment only applies to searches/seizures of the Government and the 4th Amendment doesn't apply to searched by non-government entities. The big question is if the Defense truly has some smoking gun evidence of the government (FBI and/or US Attorney) requesting Imaging Universe copy the work product documents.
He's making arguments against it, yes. But he's not saying it as a piece of fact. I can see why you think that, but it's still an opinion piece.

For me, syntax highlighting is a crutch that I want to avoid. I find myself glancing at my code rather than actually reading my code when it's enabled. It's an incredibly refreshing feeling to turn it off and just go back into vi. My code becomes shorter, easier to read, faster and much easier to maintain.
Have you seen any data-oriented 3D engines anywhere? Even the few engines I've looked at for e.g. Clojure are just needlessly OO on top of some Java stuff.
We should let the market decide. The same argument was used against airbnb : who wants to rent out part of their house to strangers?
Hah, thanks a lot. We always thought we had something cool in our hands, but our agendas didn't match and our budget was null.. The worst thing is that since then I lost faith in indie teams, and prefer the solo path, like a lone rider.. :/
It is also one of the big reasons California can have such an enormous theoretical tax base, but still manage to run a massive deficit.

You can bet there would be more pushback on those skyrocketing home values if people had to pay the taxes on them. Its too late for a lot of people in the valley, they couldn't afford to pay anything close to what their homes current access at. It is the epitome of Got Mine, Fuck You.

I'm sure there are plenty of non-rich people in older homes who don't want to ruin the feel of their favorite neighborhoods. The current anointed opinion in the tech community is that the housing crisis is mostly caused by the rich trying to fence off the city for themselves, but I do wonder where that split is. Has anybody done an actual survey? I know that if I spent decades building my life in an idyllic city by the bay, you bet I would fight tooth and nail to keep gaudy highrises and corporate influence out of my area.

Generally, not all of them do, which is why redevelopment usually involves use of eminent domain.

You're really not going to like driving in Germany, then.

Seriously though - the Germans are amazingly good drivers (easily the best in the world), and it's mostly because their training is so thorough. This results in their having a common driving culture, so that going 300 km/hr on their remaining unrestricted/uncongested Autobahn is quite safe.
I'll try again. I think that consciousness only exists in "ground reality", so if the universe is a simulation, consciousness can only enter it from ground reality. I think ground reality exists - it can't be "simulations all the way down".

I'm assuming that we're in ground reality, but capable of developing realistic virtual realities.

I'm not sure what can give rise to consciousness. I think it most likely that it's related to the ability to collapse quantum states, or in Everett's interpretation, decide which universe to be in.

In that case, since the NPCs are unable to collapse quantum states, they cannot have consciousness although they behave exactly like someone who can.

Alternatively, it might require information processing by real, physical hardware. In that case, CPUs and GPUs can be conscious as well as people, insects, and even thermostats. However, as CPUs and GPUs are processing completely different kinds of information from people, I'd expect them to have completely different qualia.

What you appear to be saying is that NPCs aren't merely conscious but have qualia at least as similar to me as other people have, by virtue of them appearing to behave similarly to people.

And I am saying that as they don't really process any information - they're just instructions and data being processed by computer hardware, that they can't be conscious any more than the characters in a book can be conscious whenever anyone reads the book.

I probably haven't convinced you of anything, but I hope at least I've made my position clear.

yes, what I meant is it's only legal to operate an actual GPS jammer (a transmitter that shits noise on the 1.4 to 1.6 GHz band spectrum) inside a faraday cage, and test how your equipment responds to that (perhaps while simultaneously operating a GPS simulator RF source in the same faraday cage), because you definitely do not want your jammer signal to escape from the cage and interfere with nearby unrelated third parties' equipment. The cage in this case being to keep your experiment contained inside, not to block outside signals from getting in.
I am a person who always wanted to develop native desktop applications, but ended up developing for the web instead because the barrier to entry is lower.

You don't. Grandma should move to someplace cheaper. The cures are worse than the disease, and if property taxes really have increased that much, she's in for a nice windfall when she sells and buys something cheaper elsewhere.
She can take the payout and buy some place more affordable, perhaps even an apartment in the building that replaces her house. Not the best outcome for her, I'm sure, but beats the hell out of starving municipal and state governments of revenue, broken infrastructure, and forcing everyone else to pay extortionate rents and mortgages just to live there.

If the law allows it and the regulatory compliance costs are low enough, maybe grandma can take out a home equity loan and turn her 1-story ranch into a 3-story apartment and take advantage of the cash flow. If she needs a little more, and her neighbors are also having trouble paying their property taxes, they can pool their resources together and build an even larger apartment block to replace their old houses. Win-win for everyone, except for busybody NIMBYs who care about "neighborhood character" to the exclusion of everything else.
Construction workers already cannot remotely afford to compete in the Santa Clara / SV housing market, and they haven't been able to for a very long time. Construction work is also short-term and temporary in character. That is not the issue. Not everything that happens is a hidden plot against the long-suffering proletariat by the evil, scheming bourgeois.

The issue is what happened in Mountain View with Google, and in Cupertino with Apple -- a company builds a huge new campus that creates 60,000 or 100,000 new permanent, high-paying jobs, but zero new housing gets created, making the cost of living insanely high for everyone (not just for construction workers.)

This is because the cities won't allow any zoning changes to their low-density 1960s suburban setup. Their goal is to preserve the physical infrastructure in that low-density shape, not to keep out lowly poor people as such.
ES Modules and Node.js: Hard Choices
The desire to keep a city looking the same as it was decades ago does seem to be a powerful motivator for a lot of anti-housing people.

It's always seemed a little perverse to me. Cities are dynamic, constantly changing organisms. Trying to keep a city from changing over decades is like forcing a 9-year-old kid to wear diapers and sleep in a crib because you liked the way it was as a baby and you never want it to change.
Source on that? AFAIK eminent domain for private development is rare, the vast, vast majority of the time developers just offer enough money to convince people to sell.
I've found dropping down to C to be a pain to set up the first time in any language (Ruby, Tcl, etc...) but once you have the tooling, it's just another workflow. When you think about it, even JavaScript takes a lot of setting up these days (preprocessors, linters, endless debates about why coffeescript is still a good language (hint: it's the existential operator)). But, you amortize the cost of this setup over the lifetime of the project so they are actually quite small.

But, it does seem that there are not regular blog posts about how to drop into C to make even the worst scripting language performant. Seems like maybe it's a dying art???
I think the constructive thing to do would be to email the admin; I guess they don't expect people to land on the page without knowing just a little bit about Tails.
The two seem fairly trivially separable though. I can imagine a thing that has the same physical mechanisms as me, but does not experience conciousness (i.e. a p-zombie), and I can imagine something with no physical mechanisms that does (i.e. a soul).

Now it's possible neither of those things can actually exist, but the fact that I can imagine them demonstrates the distinction I'm making.
Why do you think I should pay crazy property tax values on the Sunnyvale house I paid $250,000 for in 1988 just because some nut paid $2,000,000 for the identical house next door to mine last year? Why do you want to see my pushed out of my home with a $45,000/year property tax bill? You are pure evil, plain and simple.

Grandma can get a reverse mortgage on her $3M house and pay the property taxes.
It is was only housing! But it's infrastructure, too. You need to put in extra sewage, electric, roads, schools &c to accommodate the rise in population, and that is going to be painful. With Proposition 13, how does a municipality raise funds for new schools or a sewage plant expansion?

Intriguing concept, but I find a balance of solo work and group collaboration to be the most effective method to accomplish goals. That's why our team invests in weekly or daily (if deadlines make them imperative) reviews of our successes, key updates, and distractions. This forces us to review and reflect on work, receive good feedback, and pushes each member in the right direction.
Increased density to reduce the upward pressure on the housing market. Basically you have enough homes so the prices don't get bid up to insane levels.

It's basic economics. If you have a somewhat fixed demand and artificially restrict supply, the price is going to shoot through the roof.
It's not simple when you have to maintain it or debug it.

There are many classes of errors that can occur when writing software. Languages with implicit variable creation like python obscure errors like mistyping the name of a new variable (versus an explicit declaration like in C or an ML where the mistyped name will result in an error immediately modulo name conflicts). It looks correct at a glance, but:

def foo(a_name, b_name):
# computations
a_nam = #some more computations
# computations using a_name, not a_nam, returns
# erroneous values

(NB: The above is bad practice anyways, an advantage of the single static assignment of the dynamically typed erlang.)

Oops, we forgot an 'e' at some point. Now we have a new variable, but we used the old variable name for future computations and returned a result based on that.

Type errors, I've already discussed.

Logic errors like:

if(a < b) // when we meant a <= b

Are universal to all languages, they can't eliminate these. Actually, this leads to a major gripe I have with C. The duplication of meaning for = as both initial value assignment and later reassignment paired with the use of non-zero values to indicate true.

if (a = b) // well, shit. a has a wrong value, and we go
// down the wrong branch now depending on the
// value of b.

Good practices only get us so far. Moving those good practices (static typing paired with type inference for simplicity, single static assignment or immutability by default, etc.) into the language does add mental overhead to programming. But it also produces less errorful final products.

As a guy who writes software that can literally save or kill someone depending on how well or not it functions, I'm in favor of better languages.

Then the developers offer the holdouts more money. If that doesn't work, they buy homes in a slightly different part of the city to develop on. This is how it works in parts of the countries with looser zoning regulations on density, and it works just fine.

Not soon enough and at the scale that we need to address the problem. Keep in mind the ability to adopt electric cars and go home solar is still a very privileged position and will be for quite a while. Think about how many cars that are 10 or 20 years old on the road now. Or how many people live in apartments. And this is just in the developed world.

This is why most climate scientists advocate for at least a tax on all carbon. While the free market might be able to solve this world-wide on a long enough time scale we don't have the time for that to play out. We've been building our current energy and transportation infrastructure out for the past century globally based on fossil fuels.

To get a good idea on the scope of the problem I'd highly recommend start reading through some of the forum below. Some of the brightest (to me anyway :)) experts on the climate post regularly here.

Calculating harm is difficult (what price do you put on a refugee displaced from some now-unlivable region?), but one could instead calculate the cost of removing that CO2 from the atmosphere by whatever is currently the most economical means (aside from natural processes that happen without human intervention).

Realistically, though, it's more likely that the value of any carbon tax will not be calculated by some formula, but rather by what a handful of democratically-elected leaders deem is reasonable. Which might not be completely satisfying from a fairness point of view, but I think it's greatly preferable to not having a carbon tax at all (which is equivalent to saying, "quantifying harm is hard to determine, so we'll just pretend it's zero").
One way is to eliminate property taxes altogether and shift revenue to sales tax, payroll tax, VAT, or other non-property tax sources.
Any argument that boils down to "grandma should move to make room for the techies" lacks perspective and will never gain any political traction. Moving is not just something you "do" after building a life somewhere for 40 years.
