"Sustainable salaries" won't fix this issue, as real estate is a competitive market. If you double the salaries of everyone who works in Manhattan, you will still have the same number of people living near work, just paying more rent. A salary increase only helps you move closer to work if other people don't get an increase and you can price them out.

In the end, there are only three options: build more housing where people want to work and live (but it has to be high-rises, not houses with backyards), better remote work options, or better transport infrastructure.
Hold on. They didn't say they won't support Wayland - they will. They said they won't support Xwayland which is needed to run X programs under Wayland. I don't think that's entirely unreasonable. The community has said Wayland is the future, and they are finally on board with that. But now the community is dragging their feet in actually getting there. We still don't have upstream Firefox running natively on Wayland. Gimp, Inkscape, others, they have it on the radar but have been putting it off for years now. The only thing nVidia is doing here is not allowing the free software world to lag behind in their own goals ;-)
About this particular case: why hasn't Euler's notation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notation_for_differentiation#E...) become the clear winner?

I mean, its the only one that is both not confusing for beginners (because it doesn't trick them into the "cool, let's `simplify` the dx at the denominator with the next one" mindset) and it also translates easily to code (or other 1D encoding), like you can write "second derivative of f with respect to x" as D[f, x, 2] and "integral of a with respect to t" as "D[a, t, -1]".

My point is mainly that there is nothing rational at all in how humans choose notations... without some obscure historic events, we'd probably still be using some derivative of roman numerals or maybe even sexagesimals! (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexagesimal)

(I imagine the reason is because "highly performing" individuals have their own "internal" language to think in, so general language is just a for communication, so a political decision... unfortunately for education :()
Monopoly is especially bad for this. It's the game you introduce people to if you want to put them off board games. So many people have stories about games of monopoly disintegrating into arguments.

Why? Probably due to the extremely zero-sum randomly-driven parts of it, combined with the last-man-standing nature. People who have to drop out early end up disaffected. Someone who gets an early advantage will usually stay ahead, which isn't fun either.

There are games with more backstabbing in e.g. Diplomacy, but they're rightly seen as not for everyone. Whereas Monopoly has this odd status as "default board game" while not being very fun.
I don't disagree that it sucks. On the other hand, if a person has a job where working is part of their commute then there may not really be a tradeoff...the hours on the train answering email and making calls and banging at the laptop could just be hours at the office if it's still a ten or twelve hour a day job.

If you can't understand why anyone would do this, here is the logic:

* Most of the best & middling jobs in the region are in Manhattan

* You can live in Manhattan but you can imagine its super expensive. Good for singles, yuppies and wealthy families.

* The NYC suburbs/NJ across the river are a 30-60 commute, they are expensive too and largely apartments and small town houses. Public schools are often sub-optimal, traffic is bad, sometimes crime.

* City Fringe - LI/Westchester/Northern NJ - 60-90 min commute (when trains/buses are running): big houses, lots beautiful suburbs, good schools, backyard, maybe close to beach. The American dream. Some places are affordable but still expensive.

* Extreme Commutes - Much cheaper, wide variety of cities and towns, some great schools. Affordable for normal people. 2hr + commute for one of the parents

Other points

* in the 80s with high crime lots of firms moved out to the suburbs. This is now no longer in fashion as newer generations are happier to live in apartments and office parks are empty.

* The geography of NY is tough with the Hudson River & harbor making access difficult, and suburbs more remote than say LA or London.

* Other towns in the North East are struggling. Upstate NY, Connecticut, Southern NJ all suffer from shuttering firms, low employment and low wages so people will commute to get to NYC from those areas.

* Trains and Buses are super slow, the final few miles into Manhattan are often stop/start. updated infrastructure will help a lot. Would also increase urban sprawl though.

I chose to raise my kids in an apartment and avoid the commute. But I know they're missing out on a lot, maybe I'm selfish and the extreme commuters are the sensible ones.

Careful--there is a tendency for engineers to conflate superior technology with the success of a product.
..is it not? Waiting times would be a poisson distribution. In my field where most folks are much less math-savvy, it's WAY more common for someone to be "surprised" or find it "insightful" that the 80/20 rule exists on a dataset (that I had concluded would already be power-law distributed before I looked at it); or who struggle with defining how another data set like email opens over time is distributed (because it's Poisson and hey we're never really introduced to that idea)
I previously was a staunch pro-Capitalist person, but it really seems like we're approaching a point where it's not so much that it's a bad system, but that once we're in a post-scarcity economy, that it will no longer be required. We already have multiple products in the market that are so incredibly low-margin and so incredibly cheap to make that they barely retain value at all, and the market forces that put those products in that position are the same ones making everything from TV's to homes cheaper. At what point is the actual transaction of taking whatever token amount of money from me, so I can have the thing that cost you a haypenny to make, actually costing more than just giving me the thing?

Logically, everything will eventually be driven to that point. I'm not saying when it will happen, I'm not even saying it's a good or bad thing. I simply accept that at some point Capitalism is no longer going to be needed.
same on iOS it authenticates to your git repo either with password or SSH key. The only "complexity" in setting the app up is giving your public and private GPG keys to the iOS app (you can transfer them using itunes - there's also a facility to scan a QR code, but I don't know how you generate that from your GPG credentials)

It very much depends on how valuable your time with the kids is. How many days of holiday do you get and do you spend nearly all of the weekend playing with the kids?

I only have a 45min commute and I still only get to spend around 1 to 2 hours with my kids during the week. Some days I'm too tired to even make best use of my time with them. I'm currently looking for a new job in London which will put my commute just shy of "extreme commuting" knowing I might not see much - if any - of my kids during the week. But I can live with that because of the opportunities it creates for our family and the most valuable time I spend with them is the days I don't work anyway.

The question isn't who gets their money back, the question is who has to pay and/or take on the risk. In 2008, the banks were largely bailed out by taxpayers. In this case the hacker 'paid' because what they held was no longer recognized as ETH.

Even then, the hacker didn't lose anything. He might have a legal argument that he has been unjustly deprived of his wealth, but the legal system isn't generally available to criminals. Also, there's an alternative timeline where ETH fails because of this breach of trust, ETC takes off, and the hacker gets rich. But since the value creating developers supported to forked chain, that's where the value went.
>, this is a classic illegal maneuver in corporate law -- I think the term is "freezeout merger."
It works like this: Alex, Beth, and Casey each own 1/3 of FooCo. So Alex and Beth get together and, by a 66% vote, agree to sell the assets of FooCo to BarCo for $1. BarCo just happens to be owned by Alex and Beth without Casey.

FYI for those who don't happen to know the early Facebook ownership story... Mark Z attempted a variation of this.[1][2]

FooCo would be the Facebook (Florida) LLC created April 2004.

BarCo would be the Facebook (Delaware) Inc created July 2004.

Alex & Beth would be Mark Zuckerberg & Dustin Moskovitz & Sean Parker & et al except for Eduardo Saverin. Casey would be Eduardo Saverin.

>A court, and the rest of the world, will find this argument ridiculous.

Yes, the real world confirms that. After Eduardo Saverin figured out that he was diluted via trickery, he sued Mark. Mark lost and owed Eduardo additional stock (worth billions).

Excellent point. For example, I almost never need to search or look up documentation for React.

But for Angular 2, I can't do anything without looking up the documentation (at least they did an excellent job writing it).

So I would say you are right that StackOverflow is a better indicator of complexity than popularity.
> You know whats really cool? Inventing stuff. Using the power of your mind to form matter into a new thing that the universe has never seen before. Whats really cool is starting a business that adds enough value to the world to hire people. Feeding them with the power of your mind and a little bit of shared elbow grease.

You seem to believe that these things are exclusive to capitalism. But none of those things are capitalism, nor would they automatically be excluded in a non-capitalist system.
It varies, but many of them are world class. That affects housing prices dramatically. People make calculations of where to buy a house depending on how many kids they expect to have: 0-2, buy somewhere cheap and send the kid to private school; 3+ and you need to buy somewhere with a better public school.
Polished as in having a more "modern"/user friendly UI? I'd say the UI is the least important part of a password manager. Especially if you use an extension for autofilling/autosaving, you barely ever see it.

At the IT company I used to work at, our CTO constantly raged over people asking for technical solutions for their own management problems, which is a pattern I have internalized. Sometimes things are social issues that need to be solved socially. I don't think there is going to be a systematic way to keep creeps out and prevent the asshole minority, people are just going to have work things out as a society.
> I don't understand why everyone hates capitalism now

People have been hating capitalism since the invention of capitalism, it's not new. Americans might just be starting to hate it but thats due to the fact that they really haven't been able to ever have a fair and honest discussion about the various economic systems of the world because of 80 years of capitalist propaganda and suppression of socialists and communists
It's easily possible to have lisp-like macros in a homoiconic language even if it doesn't use S-expressions; a non-homoiconic language could probably have a conceptually similar but more limited and/or awkward to use macro facility.
> Why not just install it via MELPA?

Specifically addressing this point (since major distros already package magit):

There are environments where it's not allowed to install software that hasn't been cleared by site/department/company IT, let alone software from a rolling repository where packages aren't signed and upstream maintainers can get code in just by tagging it on GitHub. In such an environment it's a lot easier to say something like "I need Debian 12 with build-essential and emacs26".

As cool and handy as it is, MELPA is kind of scary from a security standpoint.
But most (I think all) of those are on Windows. It's not just different, it's strictly inferior.
Because corrupt corporatism and crony capitalism has been effectively conflated with free market capitalism.

Most politicians who claim to support capitalism actually are supporting nothing of the sort. It then becomes convenient for the media to label capitalism as a corrupt system. It is true that our economic system has become quite corrupt and has abandoned free markets. So when politicians defend that system as a capitalism, then naturally that is where the association has been built.
Buying "some drugs" from "some people", "might" fund those actions.

It is the same all over in southern Greece, for the same reasons. Shops in city and country close until the blasting heat of the midday sun is past, then re-open for a few hours. On the islands some would stay open past midnight, which ended up being a fun time to go shopping.
I'm saying employers contribute to the poor salary/rent ratio in cities, especially when we factor in commute times. They should acknowledge the problem and help solve it as a strategic priority.

Working towards your list of ideas is a viable approach. Having core butts-in-seats hours that coincide with rush hour and not paying people enough to keep the commute down is not.
Actually I kind of forgot the baby boomers line. I got hung up on the "oligarch phase" which is totally apt.

I don't know if we can just blame baby boomers, unless somehow they were responsible for voting all the current politicians in.

Ask HN: What do you do while your project builds?
I'm currently working on a program that takes around 30 seconds to build, when making changes to a single file.
So far I have been switching to Chrome and checking HN/News/Facebook whilst it builds.
Inevitably I don't switch back immediately when it finishes building, and the distraction to something completely different no doubt decreases productivity.
I suppose I should just stare at the build screen and think about what I'm going to do when the build finishes.
What does HN do in these situations? What if the build time is into the minutes?

If you're going to start taking US law and applying it to cryptocurrencies though, then couldn't you also argue that the DAO hacker(s) broke the law and that the funds _should_ be taken from them and returned to their rightful owners?

It's rather inconsistent to on the one hand claim that "that's just how Ethereum contracts work; the hackers should be allowed to keep those funds" even though those hacks would clearly be illegal under US law, then on the other hand turn around and say "forking the currency like this is wrong because it'd be illegal if this was a company operating under US law".
Thank you, eugh, it's incredibly annoying, like people miss a hundred year history lesson and want to repeat the mistakes of the past here.

Even the bottom 20% that everyone is so concerned about in the western world are better off than any time in history - heck, I have no qualms saying I'd rather be bottom 20% today than top 1% just 200 years ago. That is the level of productivity we've had, and primarily thanks to our economic system.

Could it use some tweaks? Sure, if you want to advocate free healthcare or college, go for it, but the main concepts are still quite good.

"...although I work in an adtech company with quite some technical challenges"

There is your topic. Tell us about the technical challenges that come with implementing framework X or programming language X in the adtech space. Make your writing exclusively about the space and consistently blog whether it's once a week/month etc but be consistent.

If you listen to the Software Engineering Daily podcast, for example, you will hear the main host Jeff Meyerson talking about various technical challenges associated with detecting bot traffic etc. Maybe write about that as well?

Hope that helps.
It seems like a smart space to try to develop something for. On the business side though, most of what I've seen are flashy and would probably get used less than a dozen times before being ditched for being to cumbersome.

This is the problem. Embrace edge cities, people. There's no reason to expect hundreds of thousands of people to commute to a downtown area. Scatter the businesses throughout the suburbs, dammit. Start locating new startups not just in Oakland but even farther out, in places such as Walnut Creek or Santa Rosa. Hell, maybe a tech influx could get the crime down in Stockton.

I'm sorry, but I can't help but think this isn't whistle blowing. It seems more like self aggrandizement.

The administration has always publicly stated it wanted to reduce head count in these areas. It probably can't just fire these folks due to existing laws or union agreements, so they are working with the tools they have.

While this guy might have been helping "hundreds of people" I don't think that count is high enough to warrant the attention of the federal government. Let Alaska take care of it. We have tiered governments (town, county, state, federal) for a reason.

I don't think anything illegal is going on here, so it just sounds like sour grapes wrapped in a thin veil of patriotism.

That sounds like some bullshit to me, the amount of effort for Nvidia to ease pains over the transition period -- which will surely last at least ten years before even 80% of applications are patched for native Wayland support and will and involve dumb shit akin to the systemd debacle like "We hate Wayland so we're forking Debian and calling it DebianFuckWayland" -- is marginal compared to the benefits. Xwayland will be here and necessary for a very long time.

It's even more annoying given that passengers waiting to board know EXACTLY where the door will be when the train stops, thanks to those black edge marks. It might not be a bad idea to ask BART to add some floor marks telling people where to line up on crowded stations.
Magit is still the reason I haven't jumped ship to Atom of VSCode at this point and I would hate to see anything happen to it that would negatively effect its development.

As far as the argument goes, I feel the platform is _better_ by having such a marquee package not be included. The barrier to get it installed it quite simple ( run one command ) and it opens up the user to the package management system which is getting better and allows users to bring in all the features that used to require elisp hacking
It was also the case that if you wind the clock back not all that many years, relatively few of the people working for, say, IBM (especially at the executive level) actually wanted to live in Manhattan.

Obviously the Bay Area as a whole has a problem with housing prices. (It has for a very long time but it's become extreme relatively recently.) But one of the big issues with housing prices in "prime" cities is that professionals weren't clamoring to live in them until quite recently.

Look at Boston/Cambridge as well. Teradyne was probably the only significant tech company with a major office in Boston until the dot-com/bomb and it later moved out. All the growth in Kendall Square and Seaport is recent. It's no wonder urban housing and transit hasn't kept up.
