For the users of that data none. For them the one where 95% broken was a pain to maintain and wasn't bringing in much money. "We realized we needed ... for our API users" is meaningless pretty much every decision gets some justification where it's somehow better for the users but it's just a thin enamel over whatever real business justification there is 95% of the time.

The libraries needed more funding because county revenues were plummeting as the timber industry declined in the area. Maybe residents also felt the libraries were being mismanaged, but the crisis wasn't brought about by ballooning library budgets.
Thanks, this is fascinating.

I'll delve into it at some point.

But for now, say I'm on Debian and I install the fftw package. Could the packager put a post install script to run the runtime tests and cache the results for the library to use so that apps which leverage fftw don't have to do the test on each instantiation?

This seems to try and make a parallel between neutron stars and his proposal of a "dark energy star". This uber-dense matter would stop matter from collapsing enough to form an event horizon.

But there is a serious problem with this. If you measure the density of a black hole by using it's even horizon you'll find that the mass and event horizon do not scale together. For instance, calculated in this way, a galactic mass black hole has a density of only 200kg/m³.

I specifically noted in my comment that I understand the literal meaning of the word can be applied to basically any group of people who meet. My point is that an article about "How to Host or Attend a Tiny Conference" holds a very different connotation than "they gathered all the people around the table for a conference".
Just read the article. Seems like an awesome product! I have two questions:

1. Can I get a code (dkermitt@gmail.com?

2. The landing page of Journal is great. How did you go about designing it?
Color is overrated in a world where most are colorblind. Red means danger or stop because you have seen a lot of stop signs. In a world of colorblind people, stop sign colors are chosen by the colorblind, based on something like "is this a cheap metal" rather than design language (which no longer exists for color). Instead we would use reflectivity or something to indicate danger. As to whether or not the varying-colored stop signs leads to a statistically significant number of color-sighted people blowing through them it is hard to say, but does seem a legitimate safety concern.

And this is the situation in music; keys are chosen based on the technical details of the musician rather than a design language. Meanwhile, we do have a design language based on relative pitch (e.g. a 5/7 chord "leads" to the tonic). Of course you can see that the same way you can see a purple stop sign, but you may lack some of the pattern-matching intuition of your peers.

As a musician with relative pitch and the child of a musician with perfect pitch, I have watched them get puzzled a lot navigating a design language that is very obvious to me. Perhaps you are a better musician than they are, or perhaps you avoid areas where the design language dominates. Either way, I would not trade places with you, unless the rest of society did also.
I think they mean 'two ways of presenting yourself', or 'two different base resumes to customize for each role'.
I'll hope you add a "share" extension when the iOS app exists (i.e. share to Journal -- for text, links, tweets, etc). Especially tweets (would be great if it can archive the tweet / tweet thread, so that you can save it and not risk losing it if it is deleted)!
My absolute favorite is probably radix-sort. It's simple enough to explain to a child, easy to implement correctly relative to comparison sorts, and occasionally actually useful.

> . In some cases, suburbs raise much more capital in taxes per person, are often required by the state to give some back for redistribution (e.g. education), attract business much more these days than city centers, provide much needed infrastructure for city-based businesses to house their employees, and provide many services that are leveraged by urbanites unable to attain similar quality locally (e.g. hospitalization).

Can you find a citation for this claim? Strong Towns did a blog about this and found that downtown areas produce far more tax revenue per acre than suburbs. Source : https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2018/8/7/growing-lasting...

Another effect given is that suburbs and rural areas require far more investment in infrastructure per capita. In short, rural areas and suburbs require way more roads than downtown, and fewer people live there per mile of road to boot. So fewer people are paying taxes to support even more roads.

I would be very curious to see a study that showed the opposite effect, and how it could be possible.
There's quite some distance between unboxing a Raspberry Pi and getting basic on a screen versus unboxing a BBC/Acorn to basic on the screen.

I'd like it if there was a genuine retro computer remake like a C64 or really any of those old machines.

When I say genuine I mean not an FPGA thing that looks the same and has the same feel but inside is a modern FPGA.

I mean a computer with a real 6502 or Z80, "power on to basic" plus a real keyboard.

There's so much old great books and educational materials for those old machines too.

The problem with modern retro remakes is that they focus on being about games and ROMs and I can't think of any with a nice keyboard.
All of these are explicit design choices, for example a fixed palette is important to give games a "Pico-8" look and also reduce decisions regarding color choice. I suggest you watch Joseph White's practice talk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87jfTIWosBw) if you're curious about design decisions that guided Pico-8.

Multiple resolutions would absolutely break the "Fantasy console" feel of Pico-8, even though I understand why programmers universally hate that. To be fair a lot of people do code editing outside of the Pico-8 editor.

#4 is an interesting point. The trick here is that different parents have different ideas of what is and isn't appropriate, and of course different kids will have different responses. It seems like the answer is to maybe have a version of Pico-8 that removes splore and expands the demo carts with some universally safe, popular titles.

TIC-80 is cool btw and might be a better learning environment for kids. I don't like it (or any of the other fantasy console\pico-8 clones) quite as much as Pico-8 because they remove constraints, making them feel more like generic game editors and less like imaginary retro computers.

(2) is already true according to the list. Stripe and Instacart alone are already worth > $27B in aggregate

(3) might actually be already true, or at least close to it. Gitlab is worth $1.1B, and there are a few other YC W15 companies that are already worth hundreds of millions and are on track to become unicorns: EquipmentShare, AtomWise, RazorPay, Qventus, GrubMarket, among others.
Do they have LEDs now that only put out light in a small spectrum of filterable wavelengths? The city of Tucson for a long time resisted swapping all their street lights out from the existing sodium lights because local astronomers found it significantly harder to filter out the wide gamut of "junk light" from LEDs.
In a lot of classical music, especially since 1900, pitch classes play a really fundamental role. When, say, G is a prominent pitch class for a while, and then I hear it come back a few minutes later, that lets me understand the structure of the piece better than if I didn't recognize it. So absolute pitch has a real use, and I don't think it's quite fair to put it on the level of "absolute hex color values".

Of course, there is a lot of subtle stuff going with color design in TV and movies that generally passes me right by, so maybe I should be spending more time trying to appreciate that and less time getting excited about identifying Gs in atonal music...
As a hiring manager involved in many hires over the past few years, this is excellent advice for anyone with ~10 years or more of experience.
Or any individual firm.

You get functional systems through competition, having many choices so that even if one (or 90%) of them are crap, you can go to the one which isn't. There is by definition no competition at any level of government, which is why so many government-managed services are crap. There is also little competition with most big businesses, which is why big businesses are crap. There is plenty of competition among small businesses, which is why you can go to most walkable downtowns and pick a restaurant and it'll be pretty good, or visit most AirBnB hosts and have a decent stay, or look for a favorite YouTube channel and find one that's interesting.

I wrote my own, MemPa [1, 2].

I'm not sure I'd recommend it because it's basically iOS-only now and with no iOS12 integration, but I'd definitely recommend a deterministic approach for at least your most important sites (banks, google?, facebook?). The main reason is availability in case of real need, when for example your phone could be broken or inaccessible. I wrote about my use case here [3].

Happy to discuss deterministic approaches, please make sure to read also the counter arguments [4].

In addition, I strongly encourage setting up 2FA, especially on the most important sites. My choice for passwords is also related: I really want my password to be something I know (not something I need a device/password manager for) because with 2FA you prove already something you have. Another totally valid option is to setup 2FA on your password manager and call it the day. For completeness, I'm also building a security key called Solo, open source and FIDO2 [5].

I always thought there was something almost magical about this one.
It's so regulated as to be effectively impossible for individuals to get into unless they have serious connections. I've seen the stocks on the TSX too. I was going by the meaning of the previous posters, which seemed to be saying that all the previously illegal players in the food chain could now step into the limelight and/or that new players could easily get in the industry -- it couldn't be farther from the truth.

It's true that those businesses who benefitted from the regulation stand to be making serious money, and I suppose that is different from the situation in the Netherlands in a major way.
I don't understand how "_hella_ expected to tip" translates to "you ought to tip". Further, I don't understand why I should take seriously the ethical claim that "one should tip service workers". Why? Why shouldn't we expect the business owner to properly price goods and services such that what I pay reflects the true cost of the labor performed? From where does my ethical commitment to an individual based solely on their occupational sector arise? Why service workers over customer support staff at a call center in India? These ethical claims seem to arise from arbitrary cultural norms.
Fair point, thanks for clarifying.
> A classy phone not from a giant tech company or with questionable governmental ties? No forced bloatware? Fast, reliable updates?
There's really no market for that? The market is stupid and wrong.

How is this a differentiator though? Besides the "not from a giant tech company" you get all those with a Pixel and you also get a great camera.

Is there any reason to trust this random company over a big company? It's not like this is a nonprofit where they're donating their money to some noble cause.
In some cases, suburbs raise much more capital

In some cases, you may be right.

It is much more the norm that new development gets sweetheart deals waiving all sorts of taxes and fees (which would ordinarily fund the infrastructure costs the local government is about to be on the hook for because of the new development), on a mentality that it's the only way to attract development.

Which then means somebody else has to pay more to cover those infrastructure costs, because the people using the infrastructure aren't paying for it.

This same pattern repeats with both business and residential development, all over the country.

I like the idea of this, but having so many integral services in one silo scares me a bit. Recent security disclosures by FB, etc. also make breaches feel more like an inevitability, not just a possibility.

How do you plan to hold yourselves accountable in the event of a massive data breach? Everyone seems to take security "very seriously" after they're forced to make a disclosure, but few companies make concrete assertions regarding security before a breach.
No, it's due to the fact every school gets the majority of its funding from local property taxes, and America has 200 years of experience packing all the poor people and minorities into districts that white elites don't contribute to.

There is an aversion to investing in society at large because it benefits the poor and black. Even if that investment pays off double, triple, sextuple times what is put in[1]. People value white supremacy higher than even their own safety net[2].

Dismissive, yes.

Buying various tools for a craft does not make you a craftsman. You only become a writer by writing, not by buying silly hipster products "for writers". And there have always been such products aimed at people who don't actually write.

Uncharitable, no.

Some people want to "be a writer" for various reasons without actually wanting to write. It's anything from an imposed expectation (common in "creative" subcultures) to an affectation. If playing at being a writer makes them happy, that's harmless. There's no stolen valor in pretending to be a writer.

But, some of the people buying these sorts of products could be writers. Very often, they buy these products out of fear, that being one of the major factors that inhibits writing. They're afraid to write because they're afraid of writing badly, not understanding that even the greatest writers had to write many thousands of words of utter shit in order to develop their skill. (And not internalizing that even great writers revise, rewrite, and get the help of editors.)

So they pursue methods of making their writing environment more optimal, buy various tools, or read endless books, magazines (back in the day), or blog posts on how to write—and when they try each new gimmick, they find they're still afraid. Obviously, then, they haven't tried enough and haven't optimized enough, so they go on to the next gimmick.

It can be very hard to get over that fear. Writing can be a lot of effort. But getting there is much more satisfying than hanging back and trying to find the key to being a writer.

The key is just writing.

Published, unpublished, printed, made a cheap Amazon ebook, hosted on a free site, posted on a forum, emailed to a list, shown to a few friends, safely squirreled away on your hard drive for nobody else to ever see? Novels, short fiction, flash fiction, fan fiction, slash fiction? Blog posts, essays, books? Deathless prose or complete dreck?

Doesn't matter: you wrote. You're a writer.

(And yes, to be entirely fair, I don't actually think anyone has "nothing to say". But you have to actually say it, and these things can't squeeze that out of you.)
In hard times, prioritization is required. Mismanagement can include the mismanaging of these priorities by reducing choice to more taxes or less library. If, as these citizens have fallen on hard times, the library actually was at the bottom rung of the prioritization ladder for funds, it is reasonable for it to be cut first. The appalling thing is blaming those on hard times for not ponying up more money. A lowering tide affects all boats so to speak.

> If the muffin just cost 20% more and the untipped barista got paid a higer wage the burdens would still be split the same.

That sounds true in principle, but your ignoring the commision aspect of the service. In the tipping model, a very efficient server could, say, serve 100 miffins/hr and be tipped 20% each accordingly. A fast, but rude server could serve 100 muffins, but perhaps get 0-10% tip each sale. A slow, but polite server may only serve 50 muffins, but garner 20% tip each.

If you simply jack the muffin price up and distribute equally among all servers, as you suggest, then there is no incentive to perform above average - no lesson learned for lackluster performance.

Personally, I tip anywhere between 15 - 30%, understanding that this is part of the servers anticipated income. If service is bad enough for me to want to tip 0%, then I either leave before I place an order, or I tip 15% then don't go back then write a negative Yelp review to warn others.
