They are, and I'm not suggesting otherwise. However, that the Hotel Lobby makes a statement about affordability is a little much, it has such a rhetorical, trendy ring to it (these days a speech has to use the words community, affordable housing, 'your homes', etc.)

Out of a housing stock of about 2.2M or so units, AirBNB takes something like 30K off the market, apparently, in this particular instance (short term rentals).

People will always skirt the system, though. It's unclear what impact this will have.

It's kind of a misleading title as I was expecting to read more about React Native, but I was merely mentioned a few times. I was curious about how you generate the pictures for sharing? And how was the developing experience with React Native?

Congratulations for this amazing app though!
That's exactly the version of the Mesa manual I have, so that's been preserved.

You're assuming that intelligence is a one-dimensional scale from dumb to smart. Actually, there are many different ways in which people can excel (or be deficient) cognitively, which most would agree makes them forms of intelligence. (Rather than through physical strength, which I can accept is not an "intelligence".)

A mention of the theory of multiple intelligences belongs here.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_multiple_intelligenc...

Many of the intelligences are things that have very evidently contributed to our collective heritage of beautiful, rich and diverse culture: "musical–rhythmic, visual–spatial, verbal–linguistic, logical–mathematical, bodily–kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic".

The cartoon version of intelligent humanity as Homo Economicus that you invoke is kind of missing the point, IMO.

I feel like this might be a semi-unpopular opinion, but frankly I'm getting tired of the idea that a blockchain is the solution to every single problem the human race faces.

There's this almost religious level of looking the other way whenever there's some sort of failure in a blockchain system, and they always say "that was a one-off situation"
The book Functional Programming in Scala is widely regarded as one of the best books on functional programming in any language. It has very little to do with the Scala language and everything to do with how you would write purely functional programs for the real world (file systems, concurrency, etc).
In NYC (and I think San Francisco) it's illegal to sleep on the sidewalks. NYPD enforces this pretty consistently, SFPD on the other hand I'm pretty sure they just do it to make sure the person isn't dead.
I struggle with naming things, especially in python where we dont have explicit types,i do end up with the "strawberryList" kinds of names.

I work in NLP / machine learning and a lot of us are not first and foremost programmers. It can be hard to come by good code in terms of coding style and naming, so I'll ask here if anybody has good examples or even know of any guides (even little things like a consensus on calling it "targets", "y", "labels" or "gold" would be nice)
> Hacker News does shadowbans too which I am not happy about, but that's another story.

We almost never do that anymore except in cases of spammers or new accounts that appear to be trolling, i.e. the cases where telling people you banned them tends to be problematic. Apart from those, we almost always post a comment in the thread saying that we banned the account.

Anti-vaxxers believe that they are intellectuals. They think that they are the only ones who can resist the propaganda of Big Pharma and see the underlying science.

You can't define "anti-intellectualism" as "people who disagree with me" (even if you're right).
I think that's a very sensible compromise.

I own a duplex in a multi-family, and thought about renting out one floor (which might come across as a separate apartment in photos) on an occasional basis for extra money. That's very different from a vast enterprise that's doing it at scale. Unfortunately, New York laws have a tendency to affect the small and the large equally, despite the fact that the latter have a lot more financial buffers as protection and the former is more exposed to risk.

That said we can still rent it out for 30+ days at a time, legally.

Google Chrome stop supporting HTTP/2 and SPDY.
Ehh... but at least for Google's implementation, you won't have a refresh token in the first place if the user doesn't grant "offline access" on a special page that comes up after login.

In our usability testing, we've found that this freaks a lot of people out and reduces adoption. The benefits of basically outsourcing our session management to Google don't outweigh this... so we use JWT for auth only, and then use that token as a session key for our own local solution.

I am a bit fed up with hearing this kind of thing. We are all human beings.

If you are rich, you get accused of being in it for the money. If you are poor, you are accused of being in it for the money. If you have a vested interest, you are accused of bias. If you have no vested interest, you are told go away and STFU.

Poor people do not have the time, energy and money to advocate for changes that would potentially free up a MERE 30k rental units. They are too busy trying to survive. People with money are generally too busy trying to get richer or keep what they have to put time into trying to make the world an actually better place.

Who is allowed to say "This is bad for affordable housing" and be taken seriously? It seems like there is no one on the planet who is allowed to advocate for affordable housing. We are all guilty of something. Meanwhile, affordable housing simply is not happening.
Yes, but this is still a deadend.

I think it could be done faster if the various countries could all agree on where they'd like it to be. And that won't happen. Germany would want it in Berlin, France in Paris, The UK (assuming they 'remain') would want it to be in London and so on. So no country would be willing to contribute the capital to help establish this on some other countries soil.

And then there is taxation, mentality, fragmented language environment and so on. I don't see it happening.
Vinod Khosla's Twitter Account Hacked
Re-issuing tokens sounds like a poor-man's nonce. I skimmed the pseudo-code in their paper, immediately said to myself 'uhh..', then a section later they addressed my 'uhh..' by admitting replay attacks are effectively trivial.

In some cases, no security is better than bad security, because at least your users are aware of the insecurity. (Granted, you're protecting against the replay attack - my point still stands for anyone even considering implementing something based on that paper.)

From the standpoint of a single transaction, Bitcoin is consistent eventually. It's certainly not consistent immediately. Only when the transaction has been accepted into the blockchain and many blocks built upon its block is it effectively irrevocable. Early in the transaction's life, it's still revocable.

(The people behind Satoshi Dice found this out the hard way. They accepted bets with zero confirmations. Someone realized they could cancel a losing bet after losing by double-spending. Oops.)
Why I “Need” an AR-15
I use Apple's Time Machine for routine day-to-day backups of our household laptops. Periodically I take a bootable snapshot of each laptop using SuperDuper.

We have a separate encrypted data volume that has tax records, documents, photos, and other household media dating back to the 1980s which I back up nightly to Amazon S3 using Arq.

I also keep two physical copies of the data volume, one in our house, a second in a storage locker, which I sync up semi–manually. Same for music + video but I don't back those up online.

I briefly used recordable DVDs but found that the ink faded too quickly, regardless of alleged quality of the DVD. This became moot as disk prices dropped over the past decade.

As larger SSDs become available I'm thinking of migrating to them for archival purposes but don't know enough about how SSDs age to trust that entirely.

I keep multiple copies of the encryption keys in our household safe and a safe deposit box.

Principles I follow in my day to day work based on 10 years of experience
I thought you were proposing a way of writing a normal paper (or PDF) contract which would have some legally-enforceable clause saying, "Don't try to interpret the intent of this, it means exactly what it says." To enforce such a contract in the event of a breach, you'd still get the usual legal machinery involved, but the court would skip the part where they try to apply reasonableness standards or figure out intent, and would just go straight to figuring out which party is correct and what the remedy should be according to the contract.

Did I misunderstand the idea?

I would definitely still advocate using the right tool for the job, though. If the vast majority of your application would be best written in C++ or Rust (something without managed memory) I would just go ahead and do that.

A lot of people, however, have cross-layer applications where a substantial amount of the code has strict performance requirements, but much or most of the rest of the code has looser requirements.

An Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) Tool in Making. Keep an Eye
In my case I did see good examples set by my parents - although their frugality was a little too severe for my liking (they had come from poor backgrounds and grown up during wartime rationing), they did have plenty of good advice like never borrowing money except where doing so can generate a greater return than the debt (e.g. often a mortgage, or making the most of interest free credit for things you have money for and have to buy anyway).

But there were some things that they didn't know about, because for example their generation didn't buy stocks and shares, and had a pension provided by the state. So there are many things I've had to learn the hard way, in some cases too late to get the most benefit. For example, I bought a lot of BP shares on 15 April 2010. That was 5 days before Deepwater Horizon, which not even the world's best financial experts could have predicted. After decades of investing in individual stocks that's when I finally realised that investing in individual stocks is too much of a gamble, and began investing in things like index trackers instead.

I've actually been making notes over the years, initially to help crystallise what I've learned in my mind, but possibly also pass on to my children. It's things I'd have liked to have heard from a trusted source myself a long time ago. So while I hadn't heard of the practice of either a money talk or a money letter, I might consider it now. Judging by the other comments I might be one of the few people here who thinks this is a good idea. But it would be alongside the usual practising what you preach, given that the best way to teach is by example, and that education is continuous.
I upload them to Google Cloud Storage.
Right. You can't logout, and you can't extend the expiration time without the user granting an "offline access" scope during the login process.

So WHY exactly is this better than a simple distributed session store (e.g. Redis or whatever), with a browser header or signed cookie as the cache key? That's the underlying premise of all this recent discussion that eludes me.

It seems an argument could certainly be made that you don't need to use sessions if you don't need sessions. But you kinda DO need sessions if you do need sessions. I think all of these recent blogs hand-wave over that, and much of the recent "JWT instead of sessions" chatter is people just repeating a mantra that they read in blog posts because it seems like the hot new mantra.
Having lived in a Manhattan building where other tenants were basically subleasing their apartments on a daily and weekly basis to obnoxious guests, this is an excellent step forward. I'm disappointed to see so many tweets from tech leaders (lots of them investors in AirBnb, so taken with a grain of salt) about how this will kill startups in NY, since that is very hyperbolic.
I'm sorry for violating an HN guideline by saying "I know I'll get napalmed for saying this". I was not aware of that guideline, and have been in the HN community for about nine years now.

Certainly. So, what does "trust" mean?

Do I trust them to undercut the price I think is reasonable? Do I trust them to tell me what the software is really worth to them? Do I trust that they will value my time appropriately?

That's why I have a problem with the word "trust" in this context.
Re: governments stepping in to destroy, how do you think American Indians ended up where they are today? It was hardly voluntary.

Solid point... I suspect many of the shortcuts in JWT (e.g., not making any attempt to normalize / canonicalize before signing) are a backlash against the implementation headaches of SAML, specifically XML-DSig and the troubles associated with "tell me the ID of the signed element and I'll verify it's signed" mode operation.

> Having a GDP larger than 50% of them isn't surprising.

Huh? Being the 6th largest economy means it has a GDP larger than 97% of them. Or larger than 75% of the 15% with population larger than it.
Very interesting! No matter what the original intent was with Midory, writing an OS in C# and gain insights into what is wrong in C# Performance-wise is great. All of these findings can have impact on every C# program out there: a web server isn't considered "Systems programming", but it's not going to say NO to performance improvements

In the slides posted by pjmlp[0], I found one slide particularly interesting: Slide 38 about Contracts:

Contract.Requires(buffer != null);
Contract.Requires(
Range.IsValid(index, count, buffer.Length)
);

or the Debug variant of it :

Contract.Debug.Requires/Assert/Fail

It reminds me of the Dafny programming language[1], but here this seems to be used for performance. The future C# AoT compiler could be validating those Contracts, and from these Contracts enables more aggressive optimizations

The slide about PackN (and future "Safe" stackallock) is also great, it seems like the easiest optimization someone can apply to its current code.:

int[] array = new int[8] { 0, ..., 7 };
// Heap allocation! For short-lived arrays, this is bad!

Versus the proposed "Safe":

Span<int> span = stackalloc int[8] { 0, ..., 7 };

You should panic for purely selfish reasons. There will be huge migrations caused by global warming, literally billions of people, and they're probably going to want to live where you are now.

They may not get there, but at the very least, the measures required to keep them out (police state?) will probably affect you negatively.
I've got 3 Dell 24" monitors that can be used in portrait mode. (U2412M - 95dpi 1920x1200 eIPS - not expensive. But many Dell monitors come with this sort of stand.) When I had a desktop PC with 2 GPUs I had them lined up that way in a row. It have to say it was a bit menacing at first - it's about a 48" diagonal. But, you know... you make do. I took a few pictures at the time but the only one I've got handy is it running Doom: http://ffe3.com/pics/.3monitors/IMG_1327.JPG

In the end I missed the horizontal space often enough that I've now settled on having at least one full-size - i.e., not laptop display - landscape display in the setup. (Currently I've got my laptop, 1 x landscape in front of me, and 1 x portrait to the side.)

If you're going to do this, I guess you want to buy IPS-type monitors to minimize colour discrepancies due to the wide range of viewing angles you'll be using. eIPS is supposed to have a 170° viewing angle, but the colours on mine still aren't quite consistent from side to side (or top to bottom as it is once rotated). If you've got a TN-type display I imagine it will be even worse.

Also might be worth buying all your monitors at once. I bought mine over a couple of years; the colour temperature is very slightly different on each one, even when using the factory-calibrated settings, and one has a noticeably different anti-glare coating.
SPKI was deprecated for SDSI[1] (also done by Rivest), both of which AFAIK haven't been touched in ~20 years (which is fine by me, if the theory and implementation are solid, but SDSI has CORBA/J2EE smells all over the RFC from what I remember. Lightweight, eh...)

Sure, but the difference is much smaller. The state with the highest GDP per capita beats the state with the lowest by a factor of about 2, whereas the difference in population between biggest and smallest is about a factor of 66.

Texas versus California is a particularly bad example of this, with Texas's GDP per capita less than 1% lower.
Yup, same experience for us. We went back and forth between workstation and server mode gc. If you have a process that maintains things like leases/heartbeats in a low latency setting, C# doesn't seem like a good idea. Wonder how well Go works in this scenario considering it was purpose built for this.
