I think it would be much easier just to use Qt or GTK. Otherwise you'll have to write your own widget toolkit, make it cross-platform, solve hundreds of issues (like hotkeys not working in alternative keyboard layouts), this is going to be a titanic work.
Your post points to stronger minimum-wage enforcement being appropriate. It's ridiculous that there are so many legally grey (and legally OK) loopholes that employers use to get around minimum wage law, and that being economically disadvantaged means one is more likely to be exploited by these. What part of "minimum" is so difficult to understand and enforce?
IMHO this is the fulcrum of the article:

Though Google appears to have paused future deployments, the broadband business
has permanently changed. Fiber investments by former telephone companies have
accelerated or restarted.

As someone who lives in Austin, TX and walk past the Google Fiber office every day, I can testimony that thanks to this mindset now there are at least 3 ISPs serving Fiber to the Home. (Grande, ATT, Google and possibly Spectrum?)
Even if you can't get Fiber, most gentrified blocks can get 300Mbps (and with offers you can get it for $50ish a month). That's amazing, just because ISPs were afraid of Google's offering.

All in all Google's Fiber is super limited (very few blocks can get Fiber to their home) but just like a "grimreaper waiting on your doorstep" ISPs competing with Google had to start offering really good deals to everyone.

What an absurd complaint. I would be more than happy to pay more in taxes if it meant the byzantine and life-destroying system that is healthcare in America was completely overturned.

It's silly how much we pay for basic services, but it's OK because the government isn't attached. It's taxes in all but name only, with worse services and less guarantees. Where we pay much more than the wealthy.
Type correctness is pure power, or a waste of time, depending on... perspective! I can't help thinking back to the highly illustrative example of my first enhancement to Facebook's production website as a "bootcamper" in 2009.

I was tasked with adding proper honorifics for Japanese speakers (it's complicated in the general case, but I was just getting as far as "San"). I wrote some straightforward PHP code to implement this feature, but of course it broke in production for some nontrivial percentage of requests. Why? Because the string I was adding the honorific to wasn't always a string. WTF? What is the proper course of action when strings aren't strings? Well, in this case the answer was a run-time type-check guard on the code I had added.

Keith Adams, my esteemed colleague, likened this to "dogs and cats living together", perhaps revealing a fondness for simpler days when Ghostbusters trod the streets. Keith may not have gone as far as lauding OCaml's type system in those dark early days, but I will do so now (and perhaps he would too).
This has nothing to do with users coming from Windows. Mac users aren't smarter than users of other OS's. Windows 10 with a walled garden like Apples is safer than a Mac.
I wonder if one could generate multiple implementations of a code block and select at runtime which is the best one given the current state of the CPU. Obviously this would require some architecture changes to have a multi-address-select jump or whatever, but this fundamentally seems like a problem only solvable with information known at runtime.

...though, come to think about it, this would be pretty easy with a tracing JIT.
At least in CA there is literally no such thing as a 'bartending license'. The requirements for getting a job as a bartender in california start and stop at convincing a bar owner to let you tend their bar.

It really depends. If you're talking about a WeWork competitor like Regus then you're right. However I've worked at startups that have rented many different kinds of offices (from Regus and WeWork, to industrial lofts, to retail storefronts). Many of these places were not "batteries included."
I've wondered the same thing.

I suspect it was argued that people betting their own money will be better at choosing winners from the pool of results coming out of publicly funded labs. I doubt that this effect is large compared to the rent-seeking it enables, though.
Your analogy is logically sound, but it doesnt match what I've seen in reality. I think the extra factor is that rich people seem to attract more rich people. That is the number that I think can't be out built. The rise in prices attracts more of them. Or rather, the fewer poor people around tends to mean rich people find it even more desirable. In practice, no government or real estate boom can out build this network effect of rich people attracting more rich people who eventually decide they like things the way they are. Not just real estate, but everything about the place. And they now own it, so its not that crazy to imagine they get to decide this. Im not morally in support of it, just stating history.

Rich people are especially into "knowing the best", whether its vacations, cars, and yes, places to live. Thats what I meant about them wanting to come buy stuff in your town even if they don't currently live there. And the data kind of shows this. California has an outflow of poor and and inflow of richer.

Basically, desirability is inelastic. California has better weather than a lot of places. The only people who can pay up the vertical inelastic curve are rich people. There are a bunch of them who want to move to your town from elsewhere.

I remember reading about this project some time ago, but it was before HN...

Yet we observed a decade of increasing bloat with no sign of it changing. Ultimately, content producers want scripts for analytics. They have an incentive to stick more crap on the page. They have very little incentive to reduce bloat.

Therefore the status quo will not lead to lean sites.
I think because the author is living in Iowa there may not be adequate public transportation? This struck me as odd too. Unless you’re a true rockstar (as in a public / semi-public figure with a great track record) no company is going to let you go remote for the first few weeks when the company doesn’t allow fully remote work. It seems like a really strange criterion to have and it’s probably THE major reason the author hasn’t been able to pass interviews, technical skills aside.

Life rules
I'm going off of my personal take only, so it's pretty safe to assume I'm wrong, but the effort seemed so half-hearted that I assumed Google was pushing other makers to stop installing bloatware and get on top of Android updates by providing JUST ENOUGH competition to force them to take it up. Until then the major players were all bad about those and profited from it so there was no incentive for them to change their ways and consumers had no real way to talk with their wallets on the topics.

Not that todays' options are GOOD on those points, but they've definitely improved, at least with Android version updates.

Can you explain why dual quaternions are more suited and for what? I can understand the appeal of having "one number" to represent a rotation and translation. But the interpolation they provide is no different than if you interpolate the rotational and translational components independently, right?

By the way, the 2D analog of dual quaternions is dual complex numbers. They let you encode a translation and rotation (and scaling) in 2D, just as the dual quaternions do for 3D.

One thing that bothers me about dual quaternions, and you may have an answer to this, is that there's an 8th term that doesn't seem to buy you anything: the epsilon term (not multiplied by i, j, k). It's an 8-dimensional representation, whereas a quaternion + translation is a 7-dimensional representation.

This doesn't increase Google's ability to track you at all. If you click a link on a Google search results page they already know you visited that site; them serving the initial page load via a cross-origin server push changes nothing.

It also doesn't give them any more control over the web, since the page contents are still strictly controlled by the original publisher (and that's cryptographically enforced).

So again, what's your actual concern?

It's the norm because our entire healthcare system is broken. Hospitals have to gouge people with insurance in order to cover the costs of people without going to hospitals. Combined with the bureaucratic and paperwork nightmare that is figuring out who pays what and who negotiates costs down it's all bloat and highway robbery designed to enrich as many parasites along the way.

It's a system designed to help only the wealthy with costs to match.

I don't think you'll find many people claiming that Tesla is on the brink of bankruptcy. You'll find plenty of people saying that the stock is overvalued and they bet it will go down (possibly to zero over a longer time horizon).

The point is that if Tesla wants to remain solvent then it will be forced to offer an attractive chunk of equity as part of a raise, and that will be a blow to the share price. They're out of assets to put up as security and their unsecured debt is already yielding north of 8%. They'll have to offer equity.

Do you believe that URLs are the optimal way of identifying web content? The web is wildly different from the early days where it was a series of documents arrange in a hierarchical manner. If we were designing the web today from scratch, URLs would likely not be the solution.

What is wrong with considering that there may be something better?
A good place to check is the county offices that serve the local district court. There will often be mental health and counseling services for probationers, and those places generally have a billboard full of current jobs that are felon-friendly. If your state has an unemployment office, they will probably have a website with jobs where you can post a resume. The best help you could give that young man would be an obamaphone, a library card, and some help making a resume.
The argument would be much easier to make if the US had single payer healthcare as well. "We the people" already have to pay, it's just that the costs are hidden from us so the majority of the population gets to ignore that they're really paying even though it might not look like it.

The U.S. doesn't restrict the poor from access to anything, besides illegal drugs. We can already tell from the Oregon health care experiment that access to Medicaid doesn't really matter the way you'd be expecting. What drives life expectancy gaps is what you put in your body, what you do with your body, and, especially with the bottom 1%, causation in the other direction, which is the effect of bad health on your income. It's literally impossible for a healthy person to be in the bottom 1% by income unless they choose not to work. So you're comparing regular rich people to a set of people that pretty much by definition have major substance abuse and health problems.

If other countries have better stats in this regard it's because they've less opportunity for functional people to pull themselves out of the bottom 1%.
That's OK! Do you think you really understand the natural numbers?

Google has already made speed a stronger part of their ranking system, and they could do more; when it comes to performance, they can prioritize fast and bloat-free websites regardless of AMP - I see it being more about controlling the platform, and the advertising revenue that comes with it than an improvement in tech.
Been there done that. Worked a lot of other jobs too to survive (driving forklift, welder's help, construction) - got too injured to continue that so went back to fighting to work office jobs.
Eventually succeeded. I spent 20 years in that half way world of not enough to survive, not enough to stay off the streets but I'm off now and have been for 7+ years now.

The first employer that got me off the streets I didn't tell I was homeless. I worked for them for a month crashing out in friends' couches until I could move into a tiny apartment walking distance from the job.

(there's levels of homeless. I only spent weeks on the streets themselves and about a year living out of an old beater car I could keep functional)

I don't really have anything to add, other than try to work other stuff. Unless you live somewhere ridiculously expensive (like - oh - my last city of Vancouver BC) - you'll probably be able to drag yourself out with even a minimum wage warehouse job or the like, and get yourself set for going back into main career.

I think this is a "humans" thing. Japan and other countries have their own share of cults and group-think. Every culture has people who, for whatever reason, don't feel like they fit in. There will always be others who rise to take advantage of that.

Without having been to the WeWork event, it's hard to cut around the article author's biased take. They chose a certain writing angle. The event from another perspective may be that of a fun, tongue-in-cheek festival where people cut loose for a bit.

I disagree. There have been times where he looks like he feels great, is on fire, excited about everything, even when he’s overworked beyond measure. He’s obviously tired, but clearly fulfilled and proud of what he’s doing. He’s exhausted in all the right ways.

Well, there is simple and correct and simple and wrong.

The Copernican description of reality is simple and correct and threw away complex but incomplete models.

I'm sure you've noticed that people frequently create complex models for something, but it is only later it gets reduced to something easier to understand.

Probably this is because the elegant model is difficult to reach on the first pass, so the more circuitousness paths are taken first - your thoughts?

The NYC scene seems much more grounded than Silicon Valley. As others have said all the big tech companies are already here but, unlike Silicon Valley, anyone who is anyone in tons of other industries is also in NYC. That keeps the focus more on doing meaningful things with tech vs the tech for tech’s sake pattern that Silicon Valley seems stuck in.

> Look at all big companies (and not just the recent Internet ones of the last 20 years), and look at where they have sites. Jobs in most of these places.

But how many of those jobs are technical/programming (in those places)?

Even by population alone (Chicago, Houston, and Atlanta making up the bulk), that's under 10.7%, less than CA+NE (and only half of CA+NE+Seattle?). That persuades me that these lower-cost areas are the exception, not the rule.
Three years ago I investigated the effectiveness of some realtime black lists (RBL) [1]. I didn't find it worth implementing.

I imagine most YIMBYs would welcome the agglomeration effect, given it means more high-paying jobs created as a result of the economic efficiencies it enables.

Lower cost housing is a means to end, not an end onto itself. That end is a higher quality of life, for more people, and more productive higher density cities provide that.
As someone who supports some aspects of YIMBYism almost entirely because I like very dense cities, I still think it's important to make note of the major negatives of density.

Namely, what happens to overbuilt places during periods of population decline (as maintenance of existing real estate becomes virtually impossible to afford). What happens to those living in the area should there be a major environmental or political crisis (it's much harder to evacuate manhattan than most other places). And how can we scale our infrastructure concurrently with increases to density such that transportation and other government resources are never lacking.
> If rich people’s housing consumption were bounded by their own needs for personal residences, it would be easy to outbuild them.

Globally, certainly; locally in particularly attractive areas? Probably not even if that were the case.

> This thread proposes that rich people consume many more homes than they can actually live in.

Which is obviously true, 2nd through nth homes that are kept idle most of the year, or even for years at a time, are a thing, and a person can't actually live in more than one at a time.

> So why don’t they draw some of those homes from other markets?

They do. But there's enough rich people that want to draw some of their consumption from SF to eat up quite a lot of expansion, until you actually make SF unattractive to rich people.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Indeed.

So you are at the first mile of that road...

On the second mile you will discover that X11 is just a protocol to present bitmaps on monitor surfaces + plus generator of events coming from some of input devices.

So on the third mile you will decide that you will need system of widgets and you will get a tree of HWND's, GtkWidget* - UI DOM elements tree as an ultimate abstraction.

Somewhere on the way further you will come up with the bright idea that look and feel of those UI bricks in the tree needs to be customizable. So you will try to invent style definition system/language. And CSS will be born again.

As a result, at N-th mile, you will end up with something close to Sciter/Go : https://github.com/sciter-sdk/go-sciter that already works not only on X11 but on Windows and Mac too.
