Those are along transit corridors, so it would be along busy routes, not in the middle of single family homes.

Along rail and the very busiest bus routes is exactly where we need and want apartments that have 3-4 stories. It would make no sense to put them in the middle of single family housing because those are deserts unless you have a car, and most people that would appreciate density would love to be able to do most of their tasks without a car. That's the appeal of density.

And we shouldn't be building rail without such density, because otherwise the rail is going to underutilized. Similarly with bus routes; why send tons of buses along a route if there's no possibility to pick up lots of people?

SB827 is about fixing planning processes to allow such density where it works, and letting the sprawl stay sprawl.

What do alumni think of Hack Reactor?
That wasn't my experience, actually. I've been a die-hard vi user now for a few decades, and one year I decided it was time to branch out, so I dedicated myself to using emacs for all of my text editing for a year. I'll tell you, that ended up being a painful year - I was so relieved when I returned to vi. I thought that, eventually, I'd get used to it, but emacs always felt like a round peg in a square hole to me.
I don't think this is the same. My C++ is getting rusty, so correct me if I'm wrong, but making a function const is mostly about making the "this" pointer const. A const function can still mutate global variables or call non-const functions, such as operator<< on cout. A pure D function can do neither of those things.
I'm not sure how much I buy most of what you're saying beyond in loco parentis causing a ballooning in staff and legal costs.

There's nothing wrong with JavaScript, since it can run inside a sandbox.

What's wrong with browsers is that they allow JavaScript to do anything once it's enabled (like make network requests).

So talk to your browser vendor. Ask them to implement a mode where JavaScript can be run with custom privileges.
With EV the checks basically care about:

1. Does this entity exist, e.g. it's in an official government business directory and the address details match what was specified
2. Use a third party directory (e.g. Dunn & Bradstreet) to look up this entity, and phone them. Ask to talk to some specific role at the company e.g. "Head of the IT department" and then confirm the details with that person.

This involves actual humans, albeit basically call centre employees, looking at paperwork, making telephone calls, that sort of thing. I guess you could label it "best effort" but to me that signifies much less.

For Americans a surprise problem with EV is that your country doesn't _have_ a central business directory. Each State runs its own directory, most businesses are registered in Delaware, regardless of their actual home state.

It's such a great piece of political rhetoric that pushed the false idea of Al Gore claiming to have "invented the Internet". If you accept that Vint Cerf was a key person in the creation of the Internet as we know it, you'll probably be interested in his opinion of Al Gore's actual role.

https://web.eecs.umich.edu/~fessler/misc/funny/gore,net.txt

Here's an excerpt from the first paragraphs:

Al Gore and the Internet

By Robert Kahn and Vinton Cerf

Al Gore was the first political leader to recognize the importance of the
Internet and to promote and support its development.

No one person or even small group of persons exclusively "invented" the
Internet. It is the result of many years of ongoing collaboration among
people in government and the university community. But as the two people
who designed the basic architecture and the core protocols that make the
Internet work, we would like to acknowledge VP Gore's contributions as a
Congressman, Senator and as Vice President. No other elected official, to
our knowledge, has made a greater contribution over a longer period of
time.
Random things like displaying text you mean? I don't think this has changed that much since the Netscape days. It would be OK if the site needs scripting for some legitimate task to compute a nicer layout, play some animation, interact with social networks, process payments etc. Detect NoScript, dump the text of the article, show "You are viewing a reduced version, because of your script blocker", done.

Show HN: Use machine learning and enlarge your image without losing quality
Here's a hypothesis...
When you have top school's materials online, it makes no sense to go to a second tier, or n-tier school other than for the networking. And by definition a 'n-tier' school is not going to be all that great at providing networking opportunities.

Would you take a machine learning course from an unknown, likely outdated professor when you could listen to Andrew Ng for free?

I started at a club before university.

I was involved with the university club for a while, until my level was beyond wanting to help teach beginners and push my own limits somewhat harder.

My stem grad friends are doing well.

My music and archaeology friends are not. Unfortunately, the cult runs so deep that some were convinced the solution to being unemployed was a master's. True, they signed the papers, but a whole industry exists to deceive them.

So, you have 50+k in debt, are in your mid-late 20's, and you:

will not qualify for a mortgage (so you keep paying rent instead of at least buying something with SOME value for that money)

Cannot start any sort of enterprise because you can't save, because your disposable income goes to loans/rent (see above)

Cannot reasonably save for retirement

And god help you if you want a kid or want to save for their college education. We made sure ours is an EU citizen so she doesn't have to deal with quite so much of this bullshit (hopefully).
This makes sense. With average enrollment going up at the top, with the market growth in applicants less than that, eventually the bottom will lose out. Maybe there is nostalgia for some colleges be it history, alums, or what not. At the end of the day, students vote with their feet and if a college is not good enough, then it should go out of business.

The first GPU models were basically stateless (via pixel and vertex shaders with texture input and outputs), but this was incredibly inefficient for many GPGPU tasks, so compute shaders and CUDA have ways to load from and store to arrays. The memory model is a bit funky, but I’m not sure how going back to functional is viable for GPU programming.
Hey everyone, I'm not a data scientist or a developer but I work with a lot of them. My company, Introspective Systems, recently released xGraph, an executable graph framework for intelligent and collaborative edge computing that solves big problems: those that have massive decision spaces, tons of data, are highly distributed, dynamically reconfigure, and need instantaneous decision making. It's great for the modeling work that data scientists do. Comment if you want more info.

Though interconnection isn't common there are a number of older small cities in the Northeast with walkable, revitalized downtowns. I worked in downtown Nashua NH for a number of years and there were plenty of little restaurants, places you could run various errands, and so forth.

But the nice area was really only a handful of blocks in each direction. And beyond that you are in mostly rundown post-industrial mill town and beyond that it is very spread out.

It would defeat the most important purpose, the pages won't be as fast. So I'm guessing they won't.
Actually, Atoms are unstable on very large time scales. So, a block of gold will eventually stop being a block of gold.

You still see lifetimes next to 'stable' elements because nothing is actually stable on long enough time scales.

Granted, 10^~45 years may seem like a long time, but I am sure it would still feel short if that was the norm. ;-)
Having a college degree makes finding a job much easier even if it's totally unrelated to the job. With a lot of employers without degree you are pretty much out of contention for a lot of jobs . It's kind of silly but that's the way it is.

And a degree from a famous college opens even more doors. I still remember at a startup I worked at the VCs would talk to people from MIT or Stanford and ignore everybody else.

What makes you think that they are missing life? They might as well work in a position they are not overly enthusiastic about, but earn enough to meet their lifestyle and enjoy their life after 5pm back at home with loving family or working in a garden. How that's worse than working your ass off 80h per week, earn a lot of money, but then be a rich 50 year old with no family and no friends? I mean, how can you even objectively compare such things? Choose whichever way and lifestyle works for you and brings most happiness, but don't judge people that choice other ways.
Insisting on rapid emotional investment (in either direction) with new acquaintances, while not "wrong" per se, is equivalent to saying you'll only date people for whom you feel instant infatuation/"love at first sight".

It massively reduces your options. These things take work, practice, and time.
As I am one of these people at least for me it is not surprise as much as disappointment as it is often so unnecessary as it is really not that difficult to build a page that can be displayed without Javascript in browser EVEN if it is built with Javascript (reference: I am a web developer).

And the reason why I have JS turned off by default is not some kind of misplaced nostalgia. It is to prevent random shit running in my browser.
>I don't have any artesian keycaps

Artisanal. Artesian means related to a special type of water wells :-)
This is a "fluff piece" blog post that doesn't really describe the (actually pretty well designed) product. It looks like someone decided that they needed to "do some marketing" on the blog, but was challenged to be as generic as possible so as to not make any specific claims. As a marketer looking for a plug-in invoice system, it's a little odd that every vendor wants to "educate" me on basic marketing concepts like "branding" that presumably I'm already an expert in.

"It’s worth to consider to create one template with the same graphic to use for various messages to recognise your communications."

There are some pretty big translation issues too. In the more technical blog posts or the feature updates, the language issues aren't as obvious as a post like this. If you're trying to break into publishing, you have to be a great writer AND have a great product, it's not necessarily a great way to market a small developer-friendly project.
In Germany higher education is also very focused on one subject.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. Going to one of your state schools is a good choice for a relatively low cost education.

It's naive to think a college degree isn't valuable. Among a collection of candidates with and without college degrees, those with degrees will not only get preferential treatment, but also once they are deep in their careers those who do not have formal degrees will be held back from leadership roles.

This is how the real world works much of the time, the idea that college is becoming less important is wrong. It's becoming more important.
Is it unethical to follow law? Is it ethical to break a law you personally don’t agree with? The whole way society works is that we all agreed to follow the system even if we don’t always agree with that it says all the time. You can say whatever you want about it freely. When it’s real naughty we’re supposed to end it.

Selective enforcement of the law is actually unethical. If you don’t like it, you need to work to change it. Saying something is unethical just because you don’t like it is not rational. Moritality is personal, ethics are societal. Maybe your morals state open borders should be a thing, but our shared ethics don’t.

In this case, immigration law is messed up in both directions. Why do you feel like you feel like you should judge the side following the rules? Are the people who support the people following the law unethical too?
I'm there too, I have 4 $100+ keyboards now, and 1 of them is an "ortholinear" style (keys are in a perfect grid) that I built from a kit and had custom keycaps printed with names of programs on them. With some semi-custom software I use it like a physical "whole computer" shortcut pad.

I now have a button that can launch a terminal window, a button that launches HN, one that does a git pull on all my current projects, etc...

Like you said, it's a niche market, but it's one where most people are happy to pay the higher prices for something more tailored to their needs, and it's a rare "physical" area where a guy in his garage can compete with big companies.

I just recently got a new 3d printer, and I think after I get it more tuned I will be able to print fairly good quality keycaps. If they are good enough, I might try selling custom made-to-order keycaps if there is any interest.

There seems to be a goldilocks zone in smaller markets like this - where you can make a product at a decent profit that looks easy to undercut, and the market is big enough to support a very healthy business ... but the market isn't so big that a competitor can come in on razor-thin margins and "make it up in volume" and displace the genuine article.

Add in the fact that hobby purchases are very discretionary and a lot of people are willing to pay a little more for quality/genuine articles and this business is probably safer from simple undercutting than one would initially think.
Or since I will be ignored just don't run Javascript by default.

Prerendering is faster than the fastest web site you can build, faster than http://motherfuckingwebsite.com/, as fast as switching tabs.

On noisy cellular networks, where even one network request can take seconds, even the fastest sites can be slow; prerendering can fix this.

I don't think it makes sense to say, "Prerendering makes even the fastest sites faster?! Bah, humbug! Web sites are fast enough if you do them right."

Web sites are pretty fast if you do them right. But making them even faster is hardly lazy.

Sometimes, you can improve the software best by patching, sometimes by reefactoring. And eventually, as it gets older and bad traits accumulate, it becomes easier to do The Big Rewrite. That doesn't mean that it is impossible to fix the legacy code, just that at some point you're better off starting from scratch, but with the old one as a pattern to go off of.

Aging and reproduction feels like the same pattern. Sure, you may be attached to the legacy code, but sometimes it makes more sense to do the big rewrite instead. Legacy code performed well for its time, now it is time to retire it.
>I have never be able to make [close] friends, especially same-sex friends

I hear this a lot from women and their inability to make friends with other women. More commonly, most of their males friends were just "hovering" around them as nice guys hoping to eventually score a chance with them. But when these token women try making friends with the same gender, those other women are naturally less attentive because they don't have the same romantic inclination as those "nice guys"
It’s Time to Decide What Happens to Our Healthcare Data Once We’re Gone
When two people make two opposing theories it is often best to judge each based on their ability to predict, how it match current data sets, and how well it works out in experimental studies.

The incentive models, which take data from both biology and culture, claims a prediction that as you measure equality of opportunity and compare nations it will correlate to inverse gender segregation in the work force. The more equality of opportunity the higher gender segregation will be, caused by incentives that is derived from gender roles, sexual strategies, and sexual dimorphism.

The prejudices model make the opposite prediction. It claims that when measuring the equality of opportunity the higher it is the lower the gender segregation should be.

In order to resolve the question one measure equality of opportunity and gender segregation, creating data. This create a scientific valid argument in favor of one model over the other.

That is one aspect of the theory. An other aspect would be to measure difference in prejudices between different professions. If the model is correct then it should be able to predict based on such measure which professions are gender segregated and which are not, and inversely predict the level of prejudices exist per profession given any country. The incentive model claim that incentives are a large influence and such you could not make a predictive model based on measuring prejudices.

The incentive model also predict that nation where the incentives are different (based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs), you should see a correlated change in gender segregation. Incentives such as reproduction is listed last among the physiological need, so nations where water and food is scare for women should result in higher incentive to seek professions where those are easier achievable. The prejudices model would argue that there is no such correlation.

This is of course just a small sample in order to scientifically evaluate the two different theories. There is also matching philosophy theories (their names escape me right now), arguing in different direction to explain the data.
