>Bad housing policy is one of the biggest impediments to overall economic growth[1] and to individual economic opportunity[2][3] in the US.

I would say it is the defining problem of our generation. The 20-30 year olds now who grew up in the bay area and aren't involved in tech have three options: Live with your parents until they die, work 40 hours a week just to feed yourself and pay the rent (split with random roommates), or move away from your entire family and support network. They live in a world where literally just being able to afford your own place is considered "bougie". It's insane. They can't even comprehend that there is a world where grown adults can live on there own and afford a respectable place to live while (gasp!) also saving for the future.

Cheap is an excellent attribute to have, we should all be so lucky, especially when it comes to something as fundamental as housing. In growing cities, it's a sign that market economies are working and that supply is allowed to increase, the way it should.

Despite what some may think, expensive housing doesn't benefit anyone, not even those who own the housing. Not, unless you're willing to leave the area, then you can cash out and live like a king.

It's much easier physically to build something which can hold e.g. +0.1 atmosphere helium, than resist imploding against -1.0 atmosphere. Practically speaking, pumping down to vacuum is a slow process, whereas you can flush with an inert gas.
Finally, hard-drive heads actually float on lamina of gas; this is one of the reasons that normal open-circuit hard drives have a maximum operating altitude.
No. The root of all selection is selection for reproductive fitness. That is decidedly non-random.
I'm not talking about housing or zoning (although in some cases state intervention can be useful there too, for different reasons), I'm talking about transit. The bay area mass transit infrastructure is a joke, it is nowhere near the level required to support its growth in population and economic activity. We need more intercity mass transit, and bay area cities have a clear track record of being incapable of building them through collaboration. They need an authority above them to make the calls and provide the funds. That is how other successful urban mega-hubs do it: Tokyo, Paris, Amsterdam, etc.
Seattle isn't too far behind SF with regards to housing (according to recent press at least). I've been wondering for years: could the larger employers in SF do more to coordinate which cities are expanded to? I'd be willing to change locations if my (tech) employer gave me the option, but others might have concerns about putting 'their eggs in one basket'. If 10 SF based companies all opened an office in the same city, would more people consider the move? My hunch is yes and I'd love to see this theory tested :)

Have you tried fresh spinach instead of lettuce in your salad? I like it a lot, it tastes better. There are also other greens, rocket is quite popular in Europe. We also eat ramsoms in the spring - it tastes like garlic but has a fainter taste without the garlic stink.
There's a paragraph in the OP about how they've actually done this:

> Mercurial provides a `chg` program that essentially spins up a daemon `hg` process running a "command server" so the `chg` program [written in C - no startup overhead] can dispatch commands to an already-running Python/`hg` process and avoid paying the startup overhead cost. When you run Mercurial's test suite using `chg`, it completes minutes faster. `chg` exists mainly as a workaround for slow startup overhead.

Just like this isn't what the usual `emacs` command does (it's `emacsclient`), it isn't what the usual `hg` command does either. There are some disadvantages to this solution and some assumptions it makes, which have apparently led the Mercurial maintainers to conclude, like the Emacs maintainers, that it won't work as the default. Hence the desire for solutions that will.
Maybe so, but that's very different than "Beat the system and make tons of money".

I think your criticism is perfectly valid. I'm not suggesting that someone wave a wand and double supply tomorrow. I'm proposing that people should support increases in supply, changes to laws that make housing less affordable, and infrastructure spending to support new housing. You're right, it won't be easy, but I believe that moving the problem elsewhere, just moves the problem elsewhere. If everyone in tech goes to Austin for example without some plan for density, you'll either get an affordability crisis, or sprawl which is terrible in myriad other ways.
Maybe SF is a lost cause, I don't really know.

Probably depends on what your definition of "organic" is (I mean, isn't nearly all food organic?).

I'd imagine many people are coming at it as something like "not produced or processed via industrial processes." And irradiation would probably be considered an industrial process.
I don't intend to speak for 'davidw, but communities imply a social contract and people picking where to live based primarily on rental prices seem quite a bit less likely to build a rapport with that community. I'm not blaming them for it--late capitalism, yo--but it is a thing and it's not unreasonable for an established, community-concerned member to be like "hey, there's more to us than where your apartment is."
> It works with shell scripts.

No. It works with some of them, because, as the parent wrote, it’s just the automated equivalent of "let’s look at content of the file and guess what it is". It’s not perfect, and so doesn’t always work. If you write "echo 42" in a file, `file` will only tell you it’s "ASCII text".

We humans are used to identify things with their name. `.sh` is not necessary to execute a shell script; but it’s so convenient you must have a good reason not to use it.

The lettuce readily available in American grocery stores doesn't have much taste, yes. But try some fresh Laitue, Bibb, Mâche, Endives or Arugula. There's a world of flavor in lettuce but as with most other things here we have a abundance of good-looking, large, bland lettuce.
you dont understand his strategy if you think it is out of date.

1) he buys equity in the private markets not in the public markets
2) he has capital to buy entire companies
3) he can evaluate a company based on the people, not based on financials
4) he commits to not meddling in operations. Today's tax structure forces entrepreneurs to sell because of huge tax implications of passing down a privately held company.
5) emotionally he is very strong and he is willing to wait on the sideline for years if necessary.

He holds on to huge amounts of cash. Meanwhile shareholders are getting mad that he is not getting the returns and start talking about how he should just pay out the dividends, people start talking about how he has lost his touch or his method is out of date. The market is skyrocketing. Then the crash happens and he buys tons of distressed assets at a discount and he is brilliant again.

Yes, the group California Yimby supports these things, but it absolutely hurts the Yimby movements credibility where they have allows people who spew the "Luxury housing will trickle prices down to the poor" shpiel are given a platform by them to display their beliefs. At best, any new construction that impacts costs will just lead to more upper middle class tech workers being in the bay area while continuing with the current pace of displacement we've seen already.

YIMBYism isn't pro gentrification, but those who are pro gentrification will always be YIMBYs.

And I can't provide direct links, just this sort of thing is all over YIMBY/NIMBY/PHIMBY facebook and twitter.
American lettuce mixes are actually pretty unique for how tasteless they are compared to the availability of edible greens in nature. If you were to make a salad of, say, arugula, endive, radicchio, and various leafy herbs like basil and oregano, you'd have quite the taste sensation.

Add a simple vinaigrette to that, and tell me when to show up for dinner.

I do wonder, though - do people want to be Tony end-to-end, or do they just like the middle and think it wouldn't end that way for them? Even a visceral, horrid ending is easy to downplay when it's just on a screen.

I mean, what does Jay-Z have to say about Montana? Fuck Sosa, this Hova this is real life // This is what the ending of Scarface should feel like. Because he's better than Tony, and he's going to make it all work.

There are definitely people who idolize the Achilles bit, living gloriously and briefly, but I feel like the most common reason people celebrate that is that they get to downplay the messy ending.
What killed me was that people wouldn't schedule back-to-back meetings because of stragglers to the second one, cutting into it. This meant that there would be an hour meeting, then an hour gap, then another hour meeting. Never enough time to get back into "the zone" in the code.
That's largely a problem in the US. All produce looks really good, but are all noticeably bland when compared to produce you can find in other countries.
I don't think much of this article. It says they used "publicly available, hashtagged images" - surely anybody could "harvest" these for any kind of non-public use? There's no indication they're being reproduced.
The article doesn’t say when Facebook used Instagram’s photos. There was a time when Instagram was not integrated into Facebook’s infrastructure.

I don’t know how deeply Instagram is integrated today but they appear to at least use Facebook’s storage and CDN. So if this research(?) was done lately, “fed […] into its own system” could refer to Facebook’s spam detection system as opposed to Instagram’s spam detection system.
It continues to boggle my mind that people say things about domestic migration that they'd never say about foreign migration.

Let's get this straight: migration happens many places, and for many reasons. The population of California is increasing, not decreasing. The population of the entire country is increasing. Urban areas are growing at the expense of rural areas (and, to a lesser extent, suburban areas).

There is no such thing as California "driving their own residents out". People moving from CA to other places may have been born here, or they may have only lived here for a few years. It's not a zero sum game. Populations are increasing. Migration is happening, everywhere.

I moved to California from the Northwest, where I was born and raised. Where folks who have lived there for 10 years whine about Californians "ruining the place", but have never thanked me for leaving. The majority of people I know moved to CA from out of state, but we don't blame Michigan or Ohio for our problems. We have a strong economy, and we're trying to accommodate people.

Demand drives up costs if supply doesn't keep up. They were blaming California when I lived in the Northwest in the 80s. They're blaming it now.

I was listening to an NPR show just last night, about alleviating housing concerns. One pertinent quote was that, when you buy a house, you are not entitled for the view out your window to never change ever, for the traffic to never change ever. This is the YIMBY movement -- to accommodate additional people. This is exactly the opposite of what people like yourself are doing. It's pretty ironic that, in an article about trying to solve housing problems by accommodating people, you're being petty and negative and playing the blame game. All of the same things that lead to these exact same problems.

Say what you want about California, but we're not blaming outsiders for our problems, unlike other populated regions in the west.
OK I'll give it another go :)

The chance of you finding your number with 50 random opens is 50%. But you don't live jusr because you find your number. You only live if everyone finds their number. And that chance is slim: it's .5^100 which is a very small number.

The chance of finding your number using the chain algo is the same as the chance that your number is found before the 50th step of your chain. That probability is still 50% because you are opening at most 50 boxes of a 100, the order doesn't matter. This is why you feel nothing will change, that the order shouldn't matter. That is correct: each prisoner opens 50 boxes without any prior information.

But the key is what changes for the probability of success for the group.

All prisoners use the same shuffling (it's only randomized once). Everyone will succeed when walking their chains, if the longest chain is shorter than 50. That is, if there are two chains of 60,40 then the group will fail. Because some of the prisoners who are unlucky and have numbers in the 60 loop will to reach their number in 50 steps.
But if there are two chains of 50,50 or 3 chains 30,30,40 etc., then everyone will succeed.

So the difference is that with random choice, YOUR chance of finding YOUR number is 50%. The chance that all 100 does so you live, is .5^100.

With the chain walk, YOUR chance is still 50%, as is everyone elses. Yet the risk that someone fails is now just 70% instead 99.9999999...% (Now is no multiplication - the probabilities are not independent - the probability of success for the group is now a property of the loops rather than the product of 100 independent events)
I always assumed every YC startup is "non profit" for the first 5 years of life... ;)
Agreed, to add to this convention; having the version of the api as part of the communication protocol or message format is also recommended. This is so you can still support older api versions on the host side until a known cut off date. This allows for a soft roll out or smooth transition to the new version. There are various ways to implement, http header, http path, structured file formats to include a version variable, or meta tags, etc...

This also allows you to put hooks in to track users of the old api version so that additional reach out/communication to the slow adopters can be had.
So... California should pursue YIMBY policies to incorporate population growth so that the other 49 can keep population grown to a minimum (ie., can say No to YIMBY policies)?

If the AFR numbers follow some bathtub-shaped curve, would it make sense to use that curve to "normalize" the failure rates according to drive days?

That might be an interesting column to add to the reports!

Good clarification. Programmers are like welders. Architects aren’t. They may be welders or programmers, but they lay out the structure and define how it connects to the world.

Programming is different (way different) than architecture. In my mind, and part of the reason for the post is that we are expecting programmers to be architects. We shouldn’t. It’s a different discipline.

You keep expressing this false dichotomy up and down the thread. Please engage with charity.

The argument being made is that the law shouldn’t forbid, or through burueacratic heel dragging prevent, my neighbor from selling to a developer to build a tall building next to me.

You said, “The NIMBY’s and YIMBY’s are the same.” In this regard, dougmccune appears to very much disagree, and you’re just dismissing his argument that he’d be happy to have developers build next to him, by claiming that because he doesn’t plan on selling his house, he’s just being a NIMBY. That is very much not where the locus of the argument is.

No one is proposing that we eminent domain the whole of Nob Hill, and force everyone to move who doesn’t have any intention of selling.
Just what we needed, more human interventionism.

Windows is special here because Microsoft never properly solved the distribution problem for software.

If you want the typical user on Windows to run updated software, your software has to at least entice updating if not auto-update straight away.

The last company I was at set the meeting times to end 5 minutes before the end of the hour (or half hour) to prevent this issue.

I can't speak for individual YIMBY groups in SF, where I don't live. If that's the case in SF, then the movement there is being a bit short sighted.

I do still think the parent is incorrect in what appears to be the claim that market rate development isn't part of the solution at all. Also the claim that foreign investors rent apartments to "park money" is on its face wrong. You can't stash money in a rental unit you don't own. This sort of claim absent evidence borders on xenophobia, IMO.

To say the final bill was impotent is unfair. It still removed parking requirements within 1/4 mile of transit stops and reduced it 0.5 automobiles elsewhere. It exempted projects from density maximums and some FAR maximums.

In effect, it would've converted a lot of the Bay Area's SFH into much denser condominiums.
Actually the proverb is sort of short for "have courage through the difficult part and you will be successful in one way or the other". It's not about being fake. The OP title, though, is a play on the term, referring to actual fakeness.
I feel like any app should implement a pattern like this:

action -> UI recognition of action -> display API response

For actions that succeed 99% of the time, I think the "UI recognition of action" can be the success state. For actions with higher failure rates, the "UI recognition" should be a spinner or something to show the user that work is being done.

If you've got a project where it's not acceptable to show "success" -> "oops I mean failure", just go with the spinner all the time. But, it makes a huge difference if you respond to a click in < 100ms vs. > 100ms.
