I don’t use it regularly, but it’s handy in a few scenarios. When you’re in a terminal and working with nvim and never launched tmux, it’s handy to be able to build or access a REPL without suspending your editor. Also, in a GUI editor where you don’t have tmux.

Walmart and Target are mentioned in the article and described as having more space than they need. Much of this is driven by improvements to logistical infrastructure over the past three decades and an increased understanding of what to do with customer/supplier/inventory data and improved capability when it comes to doing it. The recession provided them with the opportunity to remerchandise their stores from depicting abundance to depicting scarcity...it was always the case that Walmart might not have a particular item in stock, now the shelf is sparse rather than filled with one of ten other similar items that are older.

But in the US retail has been overbuilt for decades because the tax incentive of passive loss fueled construction until the Tax Reform Act of 1986. It helped precipitate the S&L crisis. Low interest rates helped overbuilding recover by making real-estate development more attractive and creating higher relative returns from real-estate investment.

The politics of lower taxes over the past forty years has made local governments more dependent on sales tax for funding. Because sales tax increases tend to be more politically palatable due to their regressive nature, local governments tend to be very much in love with retail. The love manifests itself as ready approval of new retail development and an even greater aversion to downzoning existing obsolescent retail parcels and broadzoning existing retail zoning districts.
I just want to vocally support your having expressed this view. I don't necessarily agree wholesale with the position, but I think it's a perfectly reasonable and sound preference to have, but one that, if said in public, with your real identity attached to it, you may be admonished for.

And that I find to be a shame -- that we find it so difficult to see the logic in a position we may disagree with.

>lowered inequality is a good metric for success

For measuring the success of what, exactly? Economic success? Average incomes? Doesn't seem to be a very good metric for either.

Lowered inequality seems to me to be a good metric for measuring the success of attempts to lower inequality, and not much else.
Time series is not even close to a narrow subset. There are tons of relevant use cases for time series databases that conflict with the cost/benefit positioning of column storage. What is someone to do if they need moving window queries (thereby requiring a ts db), but also have to deal with heavy mvcc transactions, lots of updates, weakly ordered inserts? These aren’t uncommon conditions to deal with, even in time series data. Examples:

* Event sourcing collects events but also often has a notion of a “current” record, meaning inserting a new event requires updating a previous event to invalidate it.

* Financial transactions may involve many append-only tables, but which are linked with data in heavily updated tables, often requiring transactional mvcc.

* Logging events asynchronously or across several nodes often produces events that are emitted out of order which can sometimes span several time partitions, making insertion costly for column stores.
> Young people and groups of friends don't go to the mall on their own. Malls merge consumerism with social activity - they're for people who enjoy shopping with their friends.

I don't think this has been true, at least in the US, since the 1990s.
Aeon mall in Nagoya, Japan[1] was my primary daily grocery and pharmacy for years. Aeon's format is pretty much the same as most suburban American malls, but they seem to run a tighter ship and do a better job of vertical integration. (I used to marvel at how insanely mirror-clean the floors were in a place where probably a few tens of thousands of people tread daily.) Prices for things like groceries are not the lowest you can find in Japan, but they're good enough. They often have an area where you can buy local farm produce, a high-quality butcher, prepared bento, okashi, etc.

They have a good restaurant selection, too, with a not-depressing food court and a set of good-to-great restaurants. For families, the mall is still genuinely one-stop shopping for clothes, pet supplies, groceries, bikes, dining out, etc.

I often find myself missing my old, reliable Aeon when I'm abroad. I think malls like Aeon deliver on the promise that malls in America fall short on. Aeon is also the biggest retailer in Asia, IIRC.

Yes, malls are all those things and I agree completely with your solutions, but malls aren't the worst - that, I'd say, are the drive-through mentality strip development stores that line suburban streets all over the US. At least with malls there's a semblance of people walking and interacting in person.
Google fonts gives designers a one finger salute with latest Montserrat update
Amazing how a project in good standing can quickly sink with one uncontrolled employee. Montserrat designer issued a major update which in turn has changed all websites that import the font from Google font project. fonts.google.com

3. If a project gets archived with outstanding open PRs, and you want to resuscitate the project with a fork of your own, you can also "rescue" the outstanding PRs by creating new PRs that come from the same branches as the original ones.
Mind if I expound on this?

My mother died in July at 59 from a brain hemorrhage. I took her in 2 years ago, and I paid ~$1000/month for her prescriptions before the ACA kicked in. After it kicked in, her prescription costs dropped (thankfully, as I was going to Canada to get non-controlled prescriptions) but her provider costs increased.

Only because I’m a tech professional in a top earning tier was I able to do this while supporting my wife and daughter. What is the solution for the rest of Americans?

Side note: After her death, I received ~$48k in medical bills that weren’t covered by her health insurance. Bad news for those providers.
Look at Stanford Shopping Center in the satellite view sometime: a bunch of rectangles surrounded by an ocean of surface parking.

It's much more like a conventional mall than a downtown: It's effectively walled off from the rest of the neighbordood. You're expected to go there by driving your car, and it's isolated by its massive parking lots so nobody would consider walking in or out a pleasant experience.
In theory yes however you're assuming that there's no collateral impact from a store closing and that there are alternatives.

Large retail chains are often anchor stores that sustain retail centers. When they shut down the economy of the retail center collapses. This impact spreads beyond the retail centers to surrounding businesses. The reduced retail traffic means that fewer people are stopping for lunch at restaurants, fueling up at gas stations, picking up prescriptions at Pharmacies, dropping off dry cleaning, etc. As a result these businesses are forced to cut back on staffing and possibly reduce hours. This causes further declines in business as the quality of service decreases. Eventually many of these business are forced to go under.

The abandoned retail centers also impact property values in surrounding areas and result in increased crime rates.

This process isn't immediate and the works displaced do not immediately find new employment. Thus you have a period where these workers are either without jobs or facing ever reducing hours which results in less disposable income.

In large urban centers you might have a dozen or more retail centers to chose from within a short distance from your home but in rural ares you're lucky if you have more than one.

In a lot of rural America you'll find many communities surrounding a Walmart often on the outskirts of a dried up husk of a town. In the 80s and 90s Walmart built supercenters just outside of the jurisdiction of small towns. The retailers in these towns couldn't compete on price and eventually folded. The small shops that didn't directly compete with Walmart (e.g. nail salons, shoe repair) eventually would end up leasing space inside the Walmart.
Because the industry is deliberately creating addictive products that happen to be detrimental to the health of the people who use them. Facebook is the biggest offender but any time you hear the term "engagement", that's probably what is going on.

I'm not disagreeing completely, but your location might be influencing your answer. I live in the northern portion of the USA, we get freezing winters and blistering summers. Come mid-winter...I am not going downtown to walk around outside, we don't hang out outside (unless we are talking winter sports, and then FULLY clothed). In summer, there needs to be shade. Fall and spring, we get wet.

And if you want a DisplayPort input in lieu of one of the HDMI sockets, that seems to add at least $30 to an otherwise identical monitor, even though DisplayPort is royalty-free. There does seem to be an attempt to segment the market to charge more for displays connected to a computer than for displays connected to a home entertainment appliance.

At larger sizes, I think the assumption is that if you don't have a TV tuner, you're attaching it to a computer, and if you do, you're not. And that breaks down at smaller sizes, where resolution and pixel pitch become an issue for computing, but less so for consoles and DVD players.

I'm not a sociologist, but my feeling is that malls are just a last resort place for young people to socialize that is unstructured and free of charge. That is: there isn't really anywhere else to go be with your friends without paying for the privilege, that isn't organized by adults (like school sports or church groups for instance). When I was growing up, we had the mall and we had parking lots, and the latter was only for the "bad kids". I get the sense that kids nowadays just hang out with each other online more as a replacement.
Sure, to a degree, but these are different. And people that really care about clothes and/or furniture probably don't buy them sight unseen. For a lot of people, any good couch or shirt is probably good enough. But a guitar needs to be right for the individual. The difference between the right and wrong guitar can be significant, and is also something that will bother you every day.
Auth0 is top-notch SaaS. I have only good things to say about their product.

Aside from being OSS, one major difference is that Keratin AuthN is purely an API. It's optimized for customization so that it will fit with any bespoke (secure) UX you want to provide. I found Auth0's API to be something of an after-thought, second to their hosted/branded/templatable pages.

This lady gets almost $17,000 a year in pension and social security, which puts her just outside the bottom 1/5 of the income distribution. She’s presumably eligible for Medicare. In a rural town it would be enough for a decent living.
>Her savings long gone, and having never done much long-term financial planning

And so again we are expected to pay for the mistakes of others. What incentive is there to save if you know you have a social net to save you anyway?

Yes, I understand, it is a terrifying way to live, I wouldn't wish it on anyone, but if we deincentivize personal responsibility, what stops this from becoming a larger problem? How can this be sustainable?

Edit: please do not mistake my attempt at objectivity for callousness. One must divorce personal feelings of pity and empathy for individuals when discussing matters which affect hundreds of millions of people. There comes a point where there are more people requiring assistance than we are capable of supporting, and part of the solution is to discourage recklessness.

I think you misunderstand. Malls only end up as a social gathering spot when there's nowhere else to go. And even then, that only really appeals to teenagers who have nothing else to do. A mall would never be preferable to what was mentioned above, a downtown with brick paths and quality scenery/stores, etc.
Could easily substitute Snapchat with Facebook, Instagram, any cell provider, etc. I don't see how this really ought to be news.
How’d the project go? Did you get any users? I’m going to go ahead and guess the answer is “no.” So yes, you were naive. Very few social apps (or marketplace apps even) overcome the chicken/egg problem without some form of faked content. After all, who’s going to post to an empty forum?

I’ve growth hacked an app to 600k users across 200 communities (colleges). What worked for us was seeding each new community with enough fake content for the first few days. After that the real users took over. The most interesting aspect of that growth hack was that users would post content similar to what we seeded it with. So we could create the “vibe” of the community with fake posts, and soon it turned very real.
There's lots of talk here about the changing shopping habits of Americans, but I think we're glossing over the debt issues. These companies seem to be burdened with too much debt, which is reflective of how big business manages itself. I think this has more to do with poor management then changing shopping habits. People's habits change all the time and it seems management was asleep at the wheel.

Also, she was rather poor as child, so she likes to keep things she paid for longer than the manufacturers want her too.

Back testing based on OHLC on a crash day isn't very useful for many systems.

The bid/ask of instruments become illogical. Bad trade data in the live feed won't be in your historical data.

Intraday during a liquidity drop is mostly based on your relationship with your broker. How they handle margin calls will decide if your trades survive.

For example, traders have had margin calls on option spreads with a known fixed risk at the time of opening. But the individual legs of the trades were making very incorrect markets, so the broker algorithms issued margin calls and liquidated at the worst time possible.
Oh, I understand it just fine. But forgive me if I don’t find “fuck Google because the internet used to be cooler” to be a particularly compelling sentiment.
