I don't think you can criticise Philosophy for not "determining if a claim is false" because it doesn't make claims in the same way science does.

I see Philosophy more as an exploration of the shape of our thoughts. It identifies particular vague ideas we have, defines them in more detail, and gives them names so we can discuss them. This gives people who study it exposure to a wider variety of ways of thinking, and often makes it easier to spot assumptions in other contexts.

Indeed, at the point where you're doing an experiment to determine if a claim is false, you've already made a bunch of philosophical assumptions, such as the existence of a consistent material universe, and the validity of empirical inference. Which is not to say those assumptions aren't reasonable, but it's important to recognise that we're making them, rather than asserting that the results of science are "something we know for sure" and dismissing anything else as "just so stories".
Patrick,

Although generally supportive of the Yimby movement in cities and the need to increase density, I am concerned that SB 827 (and similar) will steamroll the will of voters in smaller counties where staunch opposition remains.

Marin County, just across the bridge from San Francisco, is a good example: they have a strong history of opposition to housing development and density[1], and the overwhelming majority of Marin residents are opposed to top-down State measures to impose density requirements. This is quite different to San Francisco, where the YIMBY movement appears to have majority support (including me) and where a local jobs boom and office space increase has created a housing imbalance.

I would prefer that this is handled locally and am genuinely curious to know why the state government should be the interlocutor and arbiter?

The server side crawling in Pocket Casts means it's always instantly up to date with my 50+ feeds, and perfectly synced with its web client. Seems like a full service to me.

Also in my experience, relying on small-scale FOSS apps means opening myself to the vagaries of their on/off development cycles, dealing with their underinvestment in design, and the impossibility of them spending significant resources on good old fashioned centralized backends. Of course FOSS apps have many strengths of their own (esp. in the desktop content/code creation category), but the apps on my phone are "lifestyle" - I want them to be rock solid, aesthetically pleasing, to require zero thought, and to respect my privacy, and I'll happily pay good money for that, which is something I think in this day and age should be encouraged. FOSS apps are simply a different value proposition.

Most UHC countries have reciprocal deals where a citizen of one has all the same rights as a citizen of the other when travelling. Its just a lot cheaper than having to ship people around or delay treatment or all the paperwork.

The US has no such deals because it does not have a UHC system to deal with. However, most UHC systems that do not charge aren't going to pay out for setting up a billing infrastructure for the occasional American. The ones with co-pays etc already have a billing structure in place, and may charge you. Or not, it would be pretty mortifying to have to charge someone for health care.

Last I looked at Scaleway what put me off was the fact that their storage was not backed by RAID [1].

Compared to other, comparably priced providers like Hetzner and OVH that do use RAID this is a big caveat IMHO. Of course important data should be backed up remotely but disks fail and I'm not willing to deal with the hassle of restoring data simply because a single disk failed.

IMHO these courses only scratch the surface, good to learn a thing or two, without much applicability. I am right now searching for a degree path in Biochemistry or Molecular Biology online. I want to spend time on it, but be able to actually apply my knowledge. There are so few of them (maybe because of the lab classes, idk). I've found online degrees in ASU (https://asuonline.asu.edu/online-degree-programs/undergradua...) and UF (https://ufonline.ufl.edu/degrees/undergraduate/biology), but they are really expensive. Biology is the future, but unlike the article, I think it will make software obsolete altogether.

You learn design by doing, being criticised and then thinking about it. The learning pace will be very variable depending on your background and time investment.

Learning design seems easy because the barriers to entry are almost unexistent: no matter how bad it is, most designs will somehow do the job. By the other hand, to get design skills that can land you a job might not be an easy task.

The scale changes the best way to approach design. It matters if it's small scale (web/graphic/product), medium scale (architecture) or large scale (urban) but - with different weights - usability, proportions, trends, psychology/sociology and economics are always relevant. Anyway a good designer will adapt to a different scale within a short time: design is design.

But again, not of those problems you've described are unteachable. Source code itself doesn't read like how one would structure a paragraph for human consumption. But us programmers learn to parse source code because we read and write it frequently enough to learn to parse it. Just like how one might learn a human language by living and speaking in countries that speak that language.

If you've ever spent more than 5 minutes listening to arguments and counterarguments regarding Python whitespace vs C-style braces - or whether the C-style brace should append your statement for sit on its own line - then you'd quickly see that all these arguments about coding styles are really just personal preference based on what that particular developer is most used to (or pure aesthetics on what looks prettiest - that that's just a different angle of the same debate). Ultimately you were trained to read

if (variable == value)

and thus equally you can train yourself to read

if (value == variable)

All the reasons in the world you can't or shouldn't are just excuses to avoid retraining yourself. That's not to say I think everyone should write Yoda-style code - that's purely a matter of personal preference. But my point is arguing your preference as some tangible issue about legibility is dishonest to yourself and every other programmer.

Isn't that an extremely dangerous thing to do to a person's mind?

Nobody is perfect, right? I believe that. That's an ancient biblical principle. If we were to take someone we perceive as unhealthy and conform their mind to someone we perceive as healthy, that person is being robbed of their individual experience and opportunity at life.

It's one thing to denounce criminalized thoughts, it's another to disallow them entirely. Regulating our thoughts and our actions is by definition living our lives. Excluding that experience, what is left?

I'm sorry if what I'm saying is not well organized, but for whatever reason this idea evokes something passionate in me. I don't think people should ever be put through that.
I understand that 250-300MB is still a bit heavy, I'm not too happy with it either, but I've come to realize that even a Hello World JavaFX application with just a button on screen eats 70MB. I'm trying my level best to keep this at 200MB but I can't make any promises.

I sometimes wish I'd done this with C++, but it would be very tedious. I was quite proficient in JavaFX so I reckoned it will be the best tool for the job.

> So now you can autoconvert all cups to deciliters for usage in other countries? :-)

In my experience converting between cups/tablespoons/teaspoons and metric units only complicates recipes. It's easier just to get a set of measuring spoons and cups in addition to a set of scales and metric measuring cups. Besides, even though cups may not be used as much in the metric world, tablespoons and teaspoons and their fractions are, so most home cooks already own a set of measuring spoons at least.

Of course units like floz and oz do need converting to normal volumetric and weight units.

DIY speakers, if you get the basics of speaker design right, can be really good. It's because if you build them yourself you can build an enclosure as big as you like, as thick and heavy as you like, with enough dampening as you like and as long as you balance the drivers and crossover right they can sound fantastic and for not much money. Also amplifiers since the 1990s have been great, they just need a service with some fresh capacitors and some hack (e.g. a smart plug) to deal with the fact that they suck power when on/standby but not in use, so getting a good one second hand is worth it. That said IC amps have improved a lot too and kits with these are also now easier since getting a clean power supply is not as difficult as it used to be.

...providing that they can actually and predictably supply the servers.

My experience with Scaleway was essentially this: they advertise that you can have virtual servers with up to 10 150GB SSD volumes, so I signed up and created a virtual server with two 150GB volumes. After several attempts over three days, the server wouldn't start at all; it never actually started.

Scaleway's support told me that "it's because there are no available nodes matching your configuration." and "If our stock is low then there is more chance that the only free nodes are "default" ones, with 200GB available only". The solution, according to their support, would be to "keep trying to start the server until it works".

So, they'll sell you a vServer but can't guarantee when you'll be able to spin up the machine.

For me, it was a terrible experience, and Scaleway's "customer support" forums will give you a good grasp of what you're in for if you buy their service.

>This is incredibly wrong. The guarantee is based 100% on facts. This is literally the only thing it's based on.

I don't really follow you here. You mean that the guarantee is about safety? I mean back then our life expectancy was lower. The fact that humanity survived with old methods doesn't mean what we did was safe(r) in general. It just means that enough people survived so that humanity didn't die off as a whole. That is a very weak guarantee.

Because decades of discriminatory lending practices and policy mean that there's a strong racial component to where people live. There's a trite statement about how desegregation never happened in the North, because black people end up basically stuck in poorer areas of town anyways.

The thing about systemic racism is that even if every participant is legitimately trying to give everyone a fair chance, the existing systems (artifacts of redlining, for example) are still biased in a certain direction, and will end up giving discriminatory results.

Ask HN: OS X updates so big and slow
So I'm just downloading the latest MacOS security update 2018-001 and it's a whooping 1GB download. Did some web search but couldn't find any explanation why MacOS updates are so big in size. I had a minor point update version a few days ago sized ~2.5G that's almost half the size of the OS download. I don't think any other OS update were ever this sized.

And a minor update taking some 20 minutes to install. Even windows updates are much smaller and faster if I remember correctly. Is this something to do with MacOs apps are designed or it's something else?
Easy, you have a framework that validates & sanitizes all your parameters, don't allow any non-declared parameter, and make something like "can_be_logged" a mandatory attribute, then only log those & audit them.
That was what I was referring to indeed. Our borders in Europe have also been drawn up "artificially" (borders as a concept did not exist until relatively recently anyway), but there's quite a difference between two foreign countries imposing themselves and europeeans conflicts settling their own borders.

To be completely honest, the city I'm in now doesn't meet those criteria as well as I'd like, but I'm currently in Dublin.

It falls flat on housing, though, mostly because rents and buying costs are up 80% or so in the last few years. When I moved here it was quite affordable.

It also fails badly on:

* My child could ride her bike to school without getting run over by a car

But I'm in the Dublin Cycling Campaign and pushing to make that better.
