It varies from place to place. What you describe is, here in the US, generally called "adverse possession," but frequently it requires the "squatter", as you call it, to make his intention to take ownership known (e.g. by placing a document in writing with the local government department that keeps real property documents).

I see nothing wrong with this. Private property ownership is protected by the government, but almost always predicated on the assumption that the property will be put to use to the people it grants ownership to. Owners have the right to let their properties sit idle, but not without risk. This is a good thing: property is a finite (often arbitrarily and unfairly divided) resource. In my view owners have an obligation to put their property to use, and if I had the power to do so I'd make having idle property financially onerous (at best).

Try using tlp and powertop to diagnose the issue (your CPU might not be entering low power C states -- a common problem with older kernels that don't support the latest Intel CPU architectures), so also upgrade your kernel.

Linux has consistently gotten 1.5x as much runtime on battery for me as Windows.
The fact that the market is still (barely) accessible to top 2% earners doesn't change the fact that it could be accessible to many more people, without harming anyone but a small cadre of real estate agents and speculators, if the city would allow responsible intensification of existing neighbourhoods with midrise infill construction.

3 years ago your friends might have needed only $100k income for that semi, and in 3 years it will require $400k. Will your friends be earning $400k in 3 years? I doubt it. It's Toronto, not San Francisco.

In 3 years the number of families that could afford that semi-detached home went down by a factor of 6. [1] That's a problem.

I agree with you that the Toronto situation isn't as bad as others because Toronto has the most robust economy in Canada. A lot of the demand is driven simply by the fact that the city is a magnet for people from all over the country. I don't think the market will ever "crash". But the city's growth will be limited if the income needed to live in its core continues to rise from top 20% (2005), to top 10% (2013), to top 2% (2017) to top 1% and beyond. How will business attract highly mobile tech workers when a home in Toronto comes the same as SF but salaries are 1/2 or less? Since you live in Toronto you know the city is doing a desperately bad job of building new mass transit to alleviate the shortage/cost of housing the central parts of the city.

Oh, another thing I thought about, the BSD people probably won't like that it's AGPL dual-licensed (commercial licenses available). Unfortunately, that's the only reasonable license for this right now. One day, if the project is successful enough I'd like to see an ISC licensed version, but that requires a good business model around the ISC license for compilers.

My views of Japan's sexuality mostly align with those in that article. It talks about the recent trend of many Japanese not having sex (I claim that historically, most humans in general do have sex); furthermore, it claims a likely significant cause is the extreme pressures needed to maintain social status. It does quote a man citing similar trends in Britain; strange again, considering that at least as of 2014, studies show Britain having about a 4% virginity rate. Japan seems to be an outlier whose culture is resulting in a collapse of sexuality. Can you extrapolate evolutionary selection pressures from this?
I agree. There's a relentless hostility toward any ordinary discussion of ideas and hypotheses. Everything has to be backed by citations, and if there aren't solid published studies on a topic, then merely bringing it up can't be tolerated. The extent to which people try to shut down conversations and "win" debates this way is exhausting.
Well, L1 is not stable anyways so you would also have to correct for that. Also, due to the fixed rotation Moon has mountains of ethernal light that could provide constant solar power.

And last but not least, the lower gravity on the moon (according to wikipedia) makes space elevators possible even with current technologies. As those would make space travel a lot easier, thats a huge argument to colonize the moon first.

> Option+Up? Nope that selects the next folder up. Control+Up? No, that made all of my windows do something weird that I don't know what that is. Ah, it's Command+Up.

In macOS, generally:

⌘ Command = App-specific shortcuts. The primary modifier key.

⌃ Control = Global shortcuts. App-specific shortcuts will not generally have Control as the sole modifier.

⌥ Option/Alt = Something to with the keyboard, selection, or secondary modifier for a shortcut. Option+Up/Down is Page Up/Down.

⇧ Shift = Something to with the keyboard, selection, or secondary modifier for a shortcut.

Common shortcuts are way more consistent than in Windows, and you can search for them from the Help menu of any app, and even modify/create shortcuts for any app from System Preferences -> Keyboard.

The Mastering Dyalog APL book is available as a free PDF, too. Though the paper version is more enjoyable, and serves as an excellent monitor stand in need, as well.

As a Scheme programmer, one of the first things I did when learning APL was to create a new REPL/environment in Chez Scheme called Sapling that replicated APL in Scheme using Scheme implementations of the primitives.

I quickly discovered that at least for my meager mind, there was no way to combine the two as one. I could use one within the other without trouble, but I couldn't mix the two easily.

If you're interested, the Co-dfns compiler is designed to integrate with existing languages. If your language has a C FFI, then you'll be able to integrate with Co-dfns compiled code. The workflow is basically for you to produce a namespace of the functions you want to use, and then you can compile them and link against that in your Python or C or C++ code. You can then just call those functions with the appropriate arrays and things are a go. The main then you need to do is write a function to create a Co-dfns array to and from the data types you are using in your program.
I can only relate it as I heard it. I expect that by now the properties have wireless smart meters and actually reading the meter is no longer an issue.
You have it backwards. Advertising works because advertisers know what people want. And people WANT social status.

He didn't say tax housing, he said tax land. Specifically non-agricultural land that has no homestead.

That is a double edged sword though (at least in the US). If we continue to try to divest of public lands (thank you republicans) but then tax private lands, what happens to conservation efforts?

You'd at the very least need to enact something that has an exception for land conservation, but good luck keeping out the loopholes. Minimum of 100 years before the land can be built on? And then an egregiously high tax at the end if it is to be built on?
Except the rentier class pays off the local politicians to keep land in short supply. Are you telling me you really didn't know about that?
Well, HN is a negative place. Try searching Twitter for "orange website" for a good laugh.
Fewer people owning homes is exactly what he's talking about. More taxes means a higher incentive to rent to cover that cost. A tax on ownership is a tax break on renting, and more competition among renters.

Of course that also means more people looking to rent, so I don't think that will really work, but its not an absurd suggestion.

I understand the design of libsodium for sure, but because libsodium is well written I look at it for reference implementations of specific algorithms. In this particular case I needed a zero-dependency sha256 implementation and I turned to libsodium (and was a bit disappointed by the lack of an sse3 optimization.) Would you accept a pull request that folds in intel's reference implementation with sse3 for sha256?

Fun fact, sha256 in openssl pulls in asn1 parsing even after section garbage collection. Yup.

I agree with your sentiment but not your language. Nobody pays "more than they're willing to" in economic terms. They have the choice to not pay rent and be homeless, and the price they pay in rent reflects their desire not to do that. But I'll agree that most people pay more than they'd like, more than is sensible and more than is fair.

I think the burden is really on the software engineer here, any change that goes out needs to be forwards and backwards compatible.

A good pattern ive seen for this is having 2 stages to your test environment, a single host and then the rest of the fleet.

First you deploy to the single host. Then you run "compatibility" tests that essentially write to the new code, and read from the old code and vice versa.

Thats the ideal way, but also a lot of work. A simpler way it just to roll out changes very slowly, and hopefully detect a deployment with compatibility issues before it effects too many customers.
I don't think this is a uniform field, also this is at L1 so it could likely be much weaker than earths magnetic field and still work.

For comparison earths magnetic field is 31,000 nanoTesla and they are putting it at L1 so a weaker/smaller field to do the same job.
It's also easier when you have a massive fleet of machines, spread across multiple geographic regions. Combine feature toggles + backwards/forwards compatibility + decent error reporting, and deployments can become more automated. Start by rolling out to 1% of machines in one region. Let it run for a while. No errors? escalate to more machines, or more regions, etc. Release frequency and propagation speed across the network can be as fast or slow as you are comfortable with.
I haven't read the article, but here's my comment on it. Everyone knows developed countries must have squatters rights. I haven't researched that, but I'll go ahead and assert it anyway.

> I actually hate the sound of most of the Beatles albums.

I agree, and I found the 2009 re-releases to be incredibly disappointing given that they didn't even do the most basic repair work on the most obvious glitches and errors. They were marketed as some major improvement, but in reality were a new remastering only. Removing half of a dog turd from my cup of coffee doesn't improve the coffee.

What did you think of the 2015 stereo mixes? (Only on the 2015 re-re-release of "1", unfortunately. If they released a complete box set of new mixes redone in the same fashion, I'd be first in line. And I'm not even a big Beatles fan.)

> that laypeople have accepted and can work with

There is the caveat that it's hard to get things done in a timely manner on phones, or even tablets/phablets. If I need to crank out a lengthy blogpost, then I need a full desktop environment where I can do cross referencing, wikipedia lookups, file selection, photo editing, and all the other things that a desktop affords. I have tried writing a blogpost on an iPad and it took up my whole day when it should have taken 2-3 hours.

I know people who have developed super-fast methods for working on iOS but they are such a rare creature, and I'm not so sure their workflow is even teachable enough to be widely adopted by journalists or professional bloggers. From my experience they're relying on all sorts of hacks to get a blogpost out the door like using some perfectly curated mix of apps, and being able to pass files to and fro different apps with ease. Hardly the stuff of laypeople.
To start? Customer data exfiltration, credential compromise, mandatory kernels (security problems), system downtime, network issues, ddos, and unusual performance problems. They may have a couple lower cost options now, but you'll probably still pay out the nose to upgrade them as before.
