Thank you for posting this, I found it both very enlightening and a pretty fun internet-drama read :D

Interesting that the original complaint of that article/thread and this one are both the same - ie. quaternions are 'too hard to understand', and people 'use them without knowing how they work'. With this being posted so soon after https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18310788 , I feel like that complaint is less valid now than it ever has been, but it's kind of interesting to think about why quaternions in particular draw so much fire when, honestly, I found matrices to be equally challenging at first. Is it just an education thing, since matrices are generally taught much earlier? Or is there some intuition in matrices that isn't present in quaternions? Both of them seem to be just 'do this math, then magic happens' unless you think about them a fair bit, and that was pretty challenging for both the first time round imo.
The claimed advantages of Docker over Nix here don't line up with the reality I've seen after years of experience with Docker and Nix, particularly with how they relate to services that wind up deployed with Kubernetes.

I can do almost all the same things that you do with Docker, with Nix. Why would I ever need a different base image if I'm composing my image with Nix? Nix+Docker is the best of both worlds and there's really absolutely no reason to not pair them together.

Besides if for some reason, you can't package something in Nix, or refuse to buy into the `nixpkgs` ecosystem, you can still build a reproducible Docker image with whatever base layer you want (`alpine`, `redis`, whatever), with Nix, and benefit from all of the benefits mentioned in this post and others in this thread.

Deployment time, yeah, they're all opaque containers and they can be running whoknowswhat. But for day to day development, Nix absolutely beats Docker. I've spent way too much of my life rebuilding binaries and container images that already exist. Wasted too much of my life on containers and binaries of unknown, unreproducible origins. None of those things are concerns when you're building your container images with Nix. They're not even a thought I have any more.

Yes, definitely.

It's the slowest tested obviously, mainly because of limited memory (so you have to put less on the device and compute less in parallel). But it would still be a huge speed up over CPU, like night and day. And "as fast as a 1080Ti" is really, really great.

I will add, Pop!_OS comes with the latest NVIDIA drivers and lets you apt install the latest CUDA and even Tensorflow without any rigamarole.
The feature discussed in the section entitled "Operator Overloading" is analogous to uniform function call syntax in Nim and D. It was something that at first I thought added unnecessary complexity to reading the code, but I slowly came around to it. Now I actually think that (once you know that it can be done) it makes code easier to read, in that you can choose to use the method-like syntax or the standard syntax depending on the particular situation.

I've written a fair amount of Groovy, but it's mostly been simple stuff integrating with Gradle or Jenkins. Maybe I should give it a try on a more significant project. There are a few features that make it quite interesting and some ideas that I think other languages could learn from (the one that leapt to mind is the Elvis operator for a special case of null-coalescing).

Being a landlord isn’t win-win. It’s negative value by reducing supply and raising values. Don’t deluded yourself. Those other investment things you mentioned are more valuable to society than taking away housing affordability.
I'm not a fan of the dark wood; it makes me think of every piece of consumer electronics made in the 1970's.

But I like the lighter wood. It feels almost midcentury modern.

More importantly, someone's made a tower computer that doesn't look like something from a 10-year-old's comic book collection, or every Wintel box made since 1993.

Running, not just installing.

EPEL is straightforward, as you note (frustration aside that it's a bit of fiddling your average user shouldn't need to do).

But the sharp edges pop up later - root installed pip packages not accessible by non root accounts, pip3 mess, challenges / breakages if you're also running various things that choke on python3 being present (puppet is one example).
Call me paranoid, but what is the chance, that they made it just to acquire some IP from custom map makers? There is a famous Dota story, after which Blizzard decided to add a clause to its Starcraft II world editor, that you grant them license to anything you create in it.

That anti-gravity matter would need to be traveling faster than light to reach the black hole. It's the reverse problem of getting normal matter out of one.

But, it would mean that if you created a nuclear reactor inside a black hole, you would be able to communicate with the external world. That is problematic enough by itself.

There's an argument that urban housing is deflationary because of land reclamation and taller buildings. So is farm land because of crop farming efficiency.
Ick. Looks like the $199 HP laptop I bought at an office supply store on Black Friday a few years back.

Every laptop either looks like this, or a MacBook clone.

I'll buy one anyway, simply because it's supposed to be made in America. But I can't find anywhere on the web site where they're made.
Although it exists in a different market, why don't fashion designers go out of business? There's nothing stopping people from producing cheap knock-offs.

Some people want the "real deal". In fashion, that's because some consumers are superficial and vain and want to signal their wealth by getting the official stuff instead of using their wealth for something worthwhile. But for a case like System76, some consumers might care about funding the company that is doing the innovation that they appreciate…

At any rate, your question applies to all open-source software — how is it not doomed to be unfunded or go out of business? It's much easier to distribute software than to compete with a hardware company!
I once read an article about how in Japan wealth does not accumulate from generation to generation. The article went on talking about housing valuation and how homes devalue instead of appreciating in value of the course of their life. He article made it sound like a terrible thing. Of course, if you look at it from a personal perspective it IS terrible not being able to pass on appreciated properly to your kids. Who doesn’t want their family to be better off from generation to generation?! But if you think about it from affordability and societal perspective, it isn’t so bad to have your property remain the same value or depreciate. Of course there are other issues to debate there such as environmental pollution that comes with wasted resources every time you build and scrap a new home. The upside is having to live in a new house that’s more affordable than in the western nations.

Clipped 2.0 is here
Japan also had a negative population growth for quite a while now, which translates to less demand and too much supply.

In that regard, I'm not at all surprised about prices for houses going down, probably plenty of them on the market. Just like flat rents make sense, wouldn't want to lose your tenant due to increasing rent when he has plenty of other options.

Tho don't urban population centers still see rising rents and house prices?

Since London Breed was elected mayor, I've noticed a substantial uptick in street cleaning in the city. But even with the extra cleaning, the 'hygiene' of the city is abysmal. This morning I took the Bart down to the Caltrain stop in Millbrae. Immediately outside the station, I had to step over an uncapped syringe and human feces. I don't know what the solution is, but this has got to stop.

Maybe I'm wrong here, but isn't the whole idea to be pushing forward? If you're only copying their designs, you'll always be one step behind.

I'd rather buy from the company pushing the envelope rather than some obvious company just trying to make a quick buck.
>What seems to help with this Japan is that zoning and building codes are top down from the highest level of government

This is the only way to effect a society where housing is "not an investment". Otherwise you're looking at local governments that are wholly captured by a constituency tilted toward, effectively, cronyist voters furiously determined to keep their property as valuable as possible.
Ain't gonna happen in this case, for two reasons:

1. Jehovah's witnesses tend not to shoot up synagogues, whereas an otherwise typical member of Gab did.

2. Antisemitism isn't a protected class.

I can see from your comments that you are one of those, "I'd defend to the death your right to say it," people. I must admit, I would not defend to the death someone's right to spew hate toward Jews. That's not my hill to die on. I rather feel . . . the opposite. I'm glad that Gab got kicked off GoDaddy, and if I had my way, they'd be relegated to the dark corners of Tor.

That's the best analogy to NIMBY housing policy I've ever read.
The CPAD dataset has a huge amount of California green space. Even grassy medians. I wonder if they started with that and then did their ground truthing? And if they didn’t - well, they should have.

Semi-related: I’ve seen instances where Google Maps in Southern California has the same street label typos as the CAMS dataset. And I don’t know why but I suspect that Google might not admit that they use such a public dataset as seed data.
That is a very interesting way to think about it, but I am not sure that it works fully. By extending that principle, wouldn't anyone that can't afford to own shares in TSLA or MSFT be short then? In this framework it seems like you can't be "neutral", ie neither short nor long.

Given that the modern trend in desktop cases is slapping a piece of plexiglass on the side, I don't think materials engineering has much to do with this field. Anyways, they're trying to market to hip companies looking to buy workstations, for which this is a good design.
This is the "fascism is infectious" theory, under which we are all potential fascists if we just get exposed to the "infection".

By this theory fascism is somehow so inherently attractive that is has to be regulated similar to an addictive drug.
That was one serious, no-bullshit, to-the-point write-up there. I will have to read more from this Yves Smith.
Seems to ignore the idea that as long as supply can increase, and a single house can be converted to a block of 6 units, housing can be both a good investment and affordable. I think the problem is that while development currently benefits house owners, apartment owners have no incentive to increase supply. We need to tax property development and distribute it to all local households. In this way it won't just benefit house owners and it will have much greater support from locals.
Bad analogy. A 1992 car does not change when new models are released to others. But changes to neighbourhoods from increased density can be negative to quality of life, such as having a quiet road suddenly become a connector road for large amounts of commuter traffic (kids no longer playing outside), or schools get overcrowded, or there is standing-room only on the subway for a long commute into town.
If you're going to count leverage in real estate returns, the equivalent comparison is margin in stock market returns. You absolutely can purchase $125K in stocks for $12.5K cash if you're willing to buy them on margin (subject to margin requirements, which are often 50% for retail brokerages but can be as low as 3% for hedge funds etc.) Mortgage and margin loan interest rates are even comparable.

The reason people don't buy stocks on margin is because there is risk entailed: if the stock goes down, you can get a margin call, get your whole position liquidated, and lose everything. There is an analogous event for mortgages: if you fail to make your mortgage payment, the bank takes possession, liquidates your investment, and you lose everything. This risk is often glossed over with mortgages because it's a socially-acceptable way to purchase a house, but it's still there. Many people who did precisely this in 2004-2007 faced exactly this consequence in 2009-2010, and are still digging out from the wreckage of ruined credit, lost downpayments, and a home that was repossessed.
That's the name of the game for certain types of consulting--support the already-made decision. Mostly, but not exclusively, seen in management consulting to support staff reduction, outsourcing, and the like.

No, because you need a home to live. OP is arguing that living in a home you don't own and being exposed to the housing market through your rent costs is equivalent to being 'short'.
Let's say that 80% of your paetrons would have also signed up with the home rolled method but 20% would not (which would be insane numbers, I'd bet it's close to 50/50 out of sheer convenience factor). Assuming an equal donation from all, you're already losing more than the fees.

I'm not a fan of Patreons recent moves but I think that a platform that enables easy and convenient ways to support art, development, and generally small projects more than deserves a small but fair piece of the pie. Maybe that platform is another company in 10 years but right now it's Patreon. This is an example of a company that would be amazing if it was nonprofit and adjusted its fees to simply pay for hosting, a well paid but manageable staff size, and a bit of comfort for if business goes south.
> You aren't allowed to flip them for a profit

You most definitely are! At least in New York City. There tends to be a flip tax, but that is just a mechanism of funding the corporation, and it's not the reason prices are lower. (Prices are lower because coops tend to be much less flexible about renting. Many forbid it entirely, and those that allow it will have limits like at most two years out of every five. That basically means there's a class of buyer -- real estate investors -- who have no use for coop units. Lower demand at a fixed level of supply leads to lower price.)

Not that there is anything wrong with it, but there has been so little innovation in PC design for so many years. Everything is still dominated by LEDs and sharp edges and some desire to appear "techy"

That's cool, but that's also not what a coop is, at least in the context of this thread.

Every place has its own media bubble. And, in many cases, those bubbles share the same conspiracy theories, especially when outside hostile actors deliberately stoke them. I assume that's why OP wrote "whatever the local equivalent to Fox News is".
This article misses two points that are so basic that I'm shocked.
1) Home prices don't need to go up in order to make it a good investment
2) Banks pay a huge percentage of the cost of buying a house, but the consumer keeps 100% of the profit.

To use the example in the article, if you bought a house for $200,000 and sold it ten years later for $256,000, you didn't only make $56,000. You also paid down your mortgage over that time. A typical mortgage isn't much more than rent, so minus interest, that's more money for you. Also, you only needed to put down $40,000 and the bank paid the other $160k for the house purchase. So for $40k plus the cost of rent, you did pretty well. You also would have done better than renting if the house had only appreciated half as much.
I've seen the demonstration and I go there all the time. I LOVE computer history, it's our legacy, we're standing on the shoulders of the real pioneers. Those people who had to start from punch cards and mainframe terminals... they're the ones who really knew how to program.

What's crazy is it's so unknown to the general populace. Kids learn about George Washington and Bill Gates the businessman who gave us Windows, but they have no clue who Ken and Dennis are. Punch cards are meaningless to them. They wouldn't know an old hard disk from a vinyl record box. But one day they will. One day people will realize that this was the beginning of humanity. The real beginning. The PDP-11, the 1400 series, the ENIAC.

If you haven't been to the computer history museum, go!

It is, but think about what happened in the American politics and who ended up in the position. He did because he can and now look at the situation of the country. It's true they're still people, but we can't deny the fact that there are those who will run for office just because they can. I won't say all of them should stay away from the politics, but one or two of those YouTubers could be running for office just for the sake of "views" and "likes".

At the Living Computer Museum I logged into a DEC-2060 on a VT100 terminal and amazed my younger friends by navigating around the system and firing up a few ancient text based games. Being of the hacker mindset, I also showed them all the information you could get about logged in users prior to logging in from which one could have used to guess account credentials back in the day...
