You don't need special compiler options to use a shared object. If you got it as a binary, there is nothing to compile.

The incomplete information in header files isn't the compiler command line options, but the nuances of the API semantics. Like if a structure is passed and the structure contains pointers. Who owns the structure and must free it? Who owns the pointers inside it? Oooh, here is a functional argument: what parts of the API can be safely invoked from that callback? That size argument, is that bytes or array elements? And so on.

The U.S. was the dominant whaling country at the time of Moby Dick, but there is little in the book that assumes a knowledge of American history, culture, or literature. It's a candidate for "the great American novel" only because it was written by an American. I've read it more than once, and it strikes me as something completely original, not tied to the conventions or themes of literature of its time or country of origin. You may or may not like it, but "Americanness" won't be the reason.

Yes, SF has physical limitations related to the geography being surrounded by water on three sides and mountains on the fourth side.

Starting a 2nd Stripe Headquarters in Downtown San Jose near the proposed Didiron Transit Village like Google is would be huge [1]. Those without kids will be able to live in Downtown San Jose which is going through a mild renaissance (i.e. area around San Pedro Market) and those with kids will be able to commute in from Morgan Hill/Gilroy in 20 minutes, and Modesto in 20 minutes once HSR arrives. Execs/VCs could take Caltrain or an easy non-rush hour drive on 280 to shuttle between SF and SJ.

Downtown Sacramento is also pretty happening downtown these days with a mix of trendy historical areas that could easily go hipster. And has UC Davis providing a strong student inflow to the area.

>"Or from rent control stifling the development of new supply?"

Rent controlled apartments were 1% of the total housing stock in NYC as of 4 years ago. That number has only decreased since then. So not at all.
Remote work is fine, and should be more available, but agglomeration effects are real. Putting a lot of smart interesting people in a few dense places just makes sense.
Phase 1 trials - safety ones - are really cheap. I don't think they make much more than 1% of total cost of getting a drug into market (while in a total volume, they might be, because so many drugs fail them). There is no need to risk killing a lot of people by skipping Phase 1 trials.

After that, i think it's fine to try an untested drug on consenting patient with a severe chronic, or an acute life-threatening condition.

I understand why it isn't done. Market forces forcing companies to save money on trials or die, may quickly unwrap this situation to Dr. Mengele-style 'trials' if not kept in check.
I don't think that these films critique anything, they just tell a story and it's up to the people's judgement to critique the events and characters in the story.

I wouldn't say that people who idolize these characters have poor judgement or bad morale though. I mean, we shoot people or do illegal street racing in virtual environments for fun all the time, maybe it's just a human nature to entertain the idea of what we could have done if sociatal norms or laws wouldn't stop us.

Idealization of a persona usually doesn't mean wanting to become exactly that person but to have some quality of that person.

Maybe those people who actually do something are simply racionalizing their actions through these fictional characters?
Again, how about the people who own the property should decide what happens with it?

The YIMBY movement is trying to move things down to the appropriate level.
Absolutely piss in the wind. Are you kidding me? Again numbers and scale throw people off...

The average rent for an NYC apartment per month is $3375 (https://www.rentjungle.com/average-rent-in-new-york-rent-tre...) totaling: $40,500 per year.

So that $287 increase is less than 0.7% per year.
I'm saying drop the fake YIMBY nonsense and just be honest about it. Stop pretending like we are all in this together and you are going to bear the cost the same as everyone else. It's Yes-In-Your-Backyard. It always has been and there's nothing wrong with that.

I 100% support rezoning. Just not in my area.
Those all sound like things that should be in perfect sync with the implementation. It would kind of suck if Marketing started talking about one way things work, when they actually work differently. The company sure as hell shouldn’t have Sales selling people based on things that aren’t true.

As I said in another comment, information extracted from code can be made more pretty but ideally the code is king.
If you enjoy being a “fairly competent” web developer, why not work on that and become a “very skilled” web developer? You can make more than 100k that way, and the world needs a whole lot of web developers. If you aren’t sure where to start, try picking some specific tools and contributing to the open source ecosystem. The world can still use cool new React libraries.
> Popular cities are still ultra-expensive around the world, in spite of development.

Not nearly as expensive than popular cities in the US.

To be more precise, many non-US popular cities have a lot more supply of rental units at low cost than most US popular cities. The cheapest apartment available to let immediately in many non-US cities is far cheaper than the cheapest apartment available to let immediately in, say, Los Angeles area or SF.

For instance, there's apartments you can let in Tokyo for $500 (or even less!) (https://resources.realestate.co.jp/rent/what-can-you-rent-fo...) but there's literally no equivalent in the US. Like at all (if you find a counterexample please let me know!).

That is why allowing dense and tall development (free of NIMBY interference) matters.
For all that Musk is credited with versus what he actually invented he is not Tesla, he's Edison with worse business sense.
Okay. But people are still using bitcoin. Why?
Exactly. Banning people from renting out their place on Airbnb is actually what's rent-seeking.

It means you get to enjoy lower rent, but at the expense of the unit's full economic potential being utilized.

In economic terms, if a unit can fetch a higher rent being rented short term, then it provides more economic value as a short term rental, and laws preventing that reduce economic utility.
the other use of the word 'asylum' is a synonym of 'safe place'

There exist people who can't code in an interview, period. Now, you might react to this with doubt that they are employable. But the reason such people exist is because interviews that do not require even trivial coding exist, and thus they are hired and proceed to code just fine in their actual job.

One thing that really helps with perspective, whichever side of an interview you are usually on, is to have seen how radically differently different companies do things.

That doesn't necessarily mean that you should change your practices, but diversity in behavior exists because there are niches that can be exploited and trade-offs to doing so.
Ask HN: Why are alternete DNS providers like 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 a privacy hazard
Hi,

the discussion about using or not using alternate DNS services comes up periodically here (again today with the AT&T incident), so I wanted to ask a technical question that may be useful to know.

Often, there are warnings against using alternate DNS providers for risk of them being able to collect a history of hostnames you visit.

However, how would that actually work? There are no cookies or other unique identifiers in DNS - and IP addresses are famously problematic for identifying users. So yes, a DNS provider might see that someone requests questionabledomain.com, but why would that be a problem? How would e.g. Google be able to map an 8.8.8.8 DNS request to a gmail user profile?

(Note that I'm talking about third-party DNS providers that are not identical with your ISP. Of course it's easy for your ISP to correlate users as they are the very entity that manages your IP address. However, they can always do that, no matter which DNS provider you use.)

Now if only there was somebody besides Microchip making low-cost dev kits for these things, maybe we could have some fun and get a MIPS revival.

I can get ARM microcontroller boards for $10 - $20 from ST, Microchip (nee Atmel), SiLabs, etc. More powerful ARMs in any flavor of Pi that I want.

Where do I buy a low-end interAptive or microAptive board? The Creator CI20 is super interesting, but no on-board debugger included. The LinkIt MT7688 modules don't even bring out the JTAG pins.
Doe the "hacker" get to see all the contents? Or only 50 (half?)

If the hacker needs to break the longest permutation in half (consider the simple permutation x->(x+1), they could ... swap box 0 with box 50, so box 0 points to 51 (->52 .. -> 99 -> 0) and box 50 points to box 1. That makes 2 cycles of size 50, but requires inspecting 50+1 boxes

> This one is the only part that's not really possible at this time. However, if a company is willing to invest directly in growing the housing supply in the bay area, they should be willing to make the effort to try and grow talent in other parts of the country.

I don't know how to reliably "grow talent", and I'm not sure most companies would either. Building housing and attracting talent are solved problems, so why not try that first?

I'm not saying companies shouldn't be in Austin or Huston, far from it. However, SF and NYC are titanic economic engines that could be even more dynamic if they had more housing. There is an obvious solution to the not enough housing problem, difficult though it may be, it's probably worth solving.
The technical issues with the assembling the cars fast enough are the root cause of the concerns. Until these are sorted out whatever "marketing" reassuring talk he gives to investors is speculation until the next quarter comes by then it is more of the same. I like to think Musk is aware of this hence his statement.
It depends if you believe in free will, or if you think we are just entropic particles and waves.

The more precise statement is that you'd never encounter this number by uniform sampling within the range of objects of (some reasonable choice of finite size)
This is essentially what I do. I do have my housemates pay a share because they have access to a hardwire connection, but I have an open AP which my neighbors, guests, and anyone within line of sight down the street use. I have plenty of bandwidth that goes unused so I don't mind - I pay to have fast bursts of traffic, so I don't have a problem letting other people use what I don't. The only thing holding me back from having more people use it is locations nearby for repeaters. But I may put more effort into getting neighbors interested in hosting repeaters so that may change.

As a Python newbie, their docs seem wayyy more welcoming than MatPlot.

I'm a newbie to data visualization so their extensive examples and how their organized is a way better exploratory experience for me.

Also their API seems way more sane than MatPlot. I haven't used both extensively so these are just first impressions
It's nice. I tried it out on a mac. The experience leaves something to be desired. The startup time is excessive. It doesn't feel lightweight. When scrolling through a response body the scrolling feels completely different than on every other app on my mac. This must have something to do with java? It seems every "click" of the scroll wheel scrolls by a little more than half a line. Every other app scrolls ~3 lines per click. Keyboard shortcuts seem windows-specific (ctrl-t to open new tab). There are other little things here and there (and some documented on the github page) but overall it's nice. Can't say that it's an improvement over electron.

It's literally not. The attempts to pass rezoning laws are moving up (e.g. SB 827) to the state level now because all local attempts are failing. Every time someone tries to build up outside of SOMA it fails and people cry about the NIMBYs. But NIMBY in almost all these cases is just another word for local resident. Just a few weeks ago a group called Mission YIMBY was advocating for rezoning the Sunset and Richmond. Like, how obtuse can you be?

At an observation scale of, say, our local supercluster, could the electromechanical activity of the processes employed be distinguishable from random physical processes throughout the rest of the observable universe? Honest question, if the question makes sense. If not distinguishable, then perhaps the parent of your comment has a good point.
No, it doesn't. "Random chance" in this context clearly implies the exclusion of goal-oriented interference from intelligent entities, whether you ascribe any special mystical meaning to "intelligence" or not.
The concept behind layerJS is very fundamental, so fundamental that one even thinks its already there. It must be there, but it's not. We looked deep. So we created a polyfill (please see my previous response).

Unless (in America) we start approaching housing differently, we'll see the same problem happen over and over again, until the whole economy is choked by housing costs and wealth is transferred from productive uses to land owners seeking rents.
Good god I wish I could down-vote this so many times. It's shameful attitude.
Fine. Maybe the Bay Area is the best place for those types of people. Your illustration demonstrates why it should be more expensive to live there.

Why does anyone use 7-Zip? Does it have any advantages over the more widely used alternatives (tarball and zip)?
Wow. That rule must only apply in smaller cities. I can't think of a single residential property in the Bay Area that would even come close to that.

On the other hand, all the properties I manage do 0.5% per year and have all been profitable, not even including the appreciation on the property.
2000 and 2001.
While this idea seems appealing, I imagine the market rate housing will crowd out the public housing. I also think that it's fine to give public housing to those that can afford it if we take care of the needy people too. It would mean more money in the pockets of teachers, firefighters, etc.

If you feel that pissing off institutional investors is going to reduce the price of the next raise I'm fine with that.

As for the second part of your comment:

The Economist wrote that Tesla would have to raise money this year, 2.5 to 3 Billion $.

Elon Musk's response to that:

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/984705630106673152

And as far as I can see it has no qualifiers. The complete text of the tweet:

"The Economist used to be boring, but smart with a wicked dry wit. Now it’s just boring (sigh). Tesla will be profitable & cash flow+ in Q3 & Q4, so obv no need to raise money."

Now, that's a pretty strong statement and just like the 5000 vehicles per week production in Q1 that everybody seems to have forgotten about (now it is suddenly good news they do about half that much) it is very much falsifiable. For Elon's sake (and all those employed at Tesla) I hope it works out that way but this could turn out to be a very expensive own goal.

That's a company that isn't going to survive and I'd probably jump ship if they were leaving the product's success to chance and on the whim product decision making. They are in for a rude awakening when competitors leverage full time UX professionals that so the user research to maintain competitive advantage. I agree you shouldn't be brazenly shaming superiors but take a step back and make the data speak for itself.
Great point, I don't think people think about this enough. When you are your own boss, start your own company, freelance, etc you have tons of bosses they just have another title. You have clients, shareholders, someone to be accountable to. Getting clients is not always easy. Sure you might be able to pick what clients you take on but if you only want the best you could have some pretty rough months. Even if you built a product, a simple saas type of deal and want that passive-ish income you need to make the users happy.

I have an an employer, but I could go do this work for many other companies and freelance/run my own show and potentially make a lot more. I would then have to hire a number of other people to do quite a few of the things that I don't do or do it myself and literally have 0 time plus figure out benefits and may not have consistent pay (at least not guaranteed). This is all assuming it also worked out! I'm enjoying using my skills and getting a fair agreed amount without having to deal with anything else really. Trade offs. No such thing as a free lunch.
Why would we do that? Nearly all of that so-called waste is recyclable for more energy than we got out of it the first time.

There is risk, but by coal is even more dangerous. The risks are all easy to mitigate if you use modern engineering.
If an investor's decision to buy or sell a stock is based on how "cringey" a conference call is and not the numbers then I think they are in the wrong business. I think Elon did the right thing. It would be better for Tesla in the long term if the day traders sell their stocks. Tesla fans such as myself would love to pick up some stocks at low prices and because we buy into the vision we will not sell it anytime soon which brings more stability to the stock.

One positive thing about Wikipedia lists: they provide a great way to explain Russell's Paradox. A lot of people have trouble with the concept of a set containing itself, but not with a web page linking to itself. So, we can imagine defining a Wikipedia page of the list of all lists which do not link to themselves, and then ask - does this list page contain a link to itself? Two cases:

(1) The page does link to itself, in which case it is wrongly present in the list of lists which do not link to themselves.

(2) The page does not link to itself, in which case it should be present in the list of lists which do not link to themselves.

Since both cases result in a contradiction, this means we cannot define the list of all lists which do not link to themselves, and thus any formal language (now called "naive set theory") which allows us to define such a set is logically inconsistent.

The solution to this paradox was to use a set of axioms (most commonly the Zermelo-Fraenkel axioms) which do not allow the construction of such a contradictory set, while also maintaining all the expressive power of naive set theory.

To anyone interested in this stuff (plus Gödel) I highly recommend the graphic novel Logicomix.
