> And here's where your analogy falls over, because (a) the availability of land for residential real estate is not infinite; (b) it requires a far, far greater capital outlay (and time-to-market) to build housing than to farm rice; (c) developers are incentivized to build expensive housing because that's where they make more money.

Well, you're using the word 'availability', but that sounds a lot like 'supply' to me. So, i'm not sure we really disagree here. Though I would add that for the most part, land supply is not the constraining variable in almost all major metropolitan areas (exception for places like Hong Kong).

> Only if there's a better place to park my wealth. That's where all this money is coming from: people with money, who want to make more money, and are dissatisfied with the returns available in a lot of other investment vehicles.

Sure, so they bid it up until its risk-adjusted net-present-value equalizes with other assets. But all that is is restating the fact that these particular plots of land are worth a lot. It doesn't answer the question of why they are worth a lot. For that, you must look to supply constraints and network effects.

> Oh, c'mon. Deal with me honestly here. We're not talking about BFE, Iowa, yeah? We're talking about housing in metropolitan areas, and I'm pretty sure I've been specific about that in my comments on the subject so far. Y'know, the areas where there is a lot of investment money -- demonstrably -- and where there are ridiculously high housing prices to go along with it.

I'm not trying to deal with you dishonestly. I know you are talking about major metro areas. My point in pointing out the heterogeneity was to point out that we only know ex post that the particular areas you're thinking of have done well. If you were an investor in say, 2003, it may not have been such an easy call, and similarly, it may not be such an easy call now.

Let's say you had $10 million to invest. Where would you put it? Would you chuck it into SF real estate in the current market? I'm not sure I would. I think the market is quite high, especially given the rising interest rates, and I think the anti-nimby movement has gained a lot of steam, and the bay area has a lot to lose from that, in terms of property values. If I were trying to park $10 million, I think i'd actually shy away from areas with sky high valuations that are built on such monocultural foundations (tech).

some form of developmental trauma

Depending on how you define that, doesn't nearly everyone have some form of developmental trauma? Is there really such a thing as a perfect childhood with no trauma whatsoever? Isn't going to puberty itself already enough of a traumatic experience for a lot of people out there?

I’m not sure what you mean by processor cache here. The processor wouldn’t cache file system meta data. Kernels will, but that is largely dependant on the respective file system driver (eg none of the hobby projects I’ve written in FUSE had any caching).

Different write modes on external hardware also confuses the issue because you still have the slower bus speeds (eg a USB2 for an older memory stick) to and from the external device than you might have with dedicated internal hardware.
I don’t read it that way — GP seems to say “rogue actor” rather than “foreign actor”, so I think you’re actually in agreement.

Hi there, sorry to hear about your sudden vision loss. I'm also visually impaired with a similar condition as yours.

I'm also a software developer, mainly using Visual Studio, and I use the Windows Magnifier in docked mode at the top of the screen.

My usable vision in my left (bad) eye, is similar to looking through a frosted glass pane, my right eye is better and allows me to use a pc as long as I zoom in on things.

Some things or adjustments I have made:

1) At work and at home I use a 27" 4K monitor. This is so that I can zoom in on things without it becoming terribly blurry. You could go bigger than this, say like a 40", but I've never tried it.

2) I also often wear sunglasses in the office to block some glare from ambient light and from the screen. This dims things quite a bit, but you get used to it. I can touch type, but mostly only the letters on the keyboard, so I sometimes struggle with the punctuation or programming symbols while I have the sunglasses on. I guess I could get a keyboard with backlit keys.

3) At home I use Safari's Reader mode A LOT, this helps reduce clutter, and allows me to zoom text automatically to a standard font and size. I always joke by saying I wish the web would go back to black on white html :)

4) I take a daily vitamin called Ocuvite, formulated with Lutein.

As for day to day development tasks, it's not that bad, however, it's important that you make your condition aware to your colleagues, so that they can understand and accommodate you. Whenever I go over to someones desk to look at something on their PC, they will almost always zoom in for me to see.

During meetings or presentations, I stand right up against the side of the TV or projector screen.

At the risk of rambling on too much, I hope you find what works for you!

Cheers
The article confused me at first because of this. I saw a scone not a biscuit. I make chocolate biscuits on regular basis - this fact alone would have horrified some and delighted others.

Yeah it currently only compares the solutions towards the minimum number of components of any type. I also intend to compare against the minimum number of nand gates overall, but this is not yet supported.
Considering the trillions of dollars in land stolen from them I wouldnt call this any sort of compensation
Code goes into how logic gates like the nand gate are built, so it does start at a lower level than Nand to Tetris which start with nand gates as primitives.
A few years ago I spent some time learning to make breads and similar baking. Hobbyist level stuff. King Arthur was recommended brand. I have made biscuits once but found it difficult to get them light and airy. It wouldn’t surprise me if the White Lily brand is just phenomenally better for biscuits, for some reason related to the plants used or production process.

What he's achieved is quite impressive.
British biscuits are closer to the original biscuits. The word biscuit means "twice cooked" (cuit is still French for cooked). This refers to the kind of biscuits that were taken on ships. They are made by first making a big cake, then chopping it up and cooking the pieces a second time to dry them out.

Such biscuits are still popular with Afrikaaners in South Africa.

Cook and cake have the same origin. Cookie just means "little cake" and therefore is completely correct in the way Americans use it. It just has a different origin to biscuit.
Credit scores are a gliding scale. With all peoples' purchasing data getting increasingly accessible for commercial purposes, it may well be that 'good' score is measured in purchasing power, and that poor people that never had any debts still get a 'bad' credit rating.

This is already how it works, more or less, but when such credit rating becomes (a weighted) part of a social credit system, then it hardwires wealth inequality. A rich person can do a lot more 'wrongs' before low social credit becomes a problem
Hard to believe an arbitrary ranking like that, white lily seems to be the most widely mentioned brand when it comes to southern flours
Given the scale of VPN usage in China, it’s unlikely the party could do anything about it even if it got access to some logs. Vast majority of the users of these services inside China are most likely very educated group of people, like academia, software engineers, scientists etc. Large tech companies usually have some way for their employees to access banned websites in China, but mostly just for accessing tech related information. It’s just yet another gray area
Those first two can be done passively, or on the go with solar power.
Back then, Gecko was already complex. Firefox streamlined the UI, dropping for instance the Email client and unnecessary widgets.

It can be done. Just the engine remains complex, but it‘s not that big a problem. If needed, we can add a new doctype, just like HTML5 that puts the browser into some sort of strict mode where features are dropped.

You have to wonder where the ethics are on the ground level. I understand that these decisions are made by management in virtually every case, but you still see these kind of dark patterns from places where every engineer is on $100k+ with plenty of leverage against their employer.
Watch Now the Documentary “The Making of Quezon City” (Director's Cut)
(i) Imagine a billionaire who acquired his fortune from pyramid schemes. One day he fell victim to someone else's scam and is left penniless. He goes to confront the scammer to demand his money back. The scammer admits to carrying out the scam, but points out to the former billionaire that the money stolen from him was stolen in the first place. "That's just whataboutism," the former billionaire protests indignantly, "just because I did something bad in the past doesn't give you the right to do bad things to me".

Do you see the problem with the former billionaire's response?

(ii) To describe trade secrets as "science" sounds incorrect (I would reserve the term for the kind of stuff published in science journals, that genuinely tries to push the boundaries of human knowledge).

(iii) The kind of trade secret you are referring to are much more like source codes for proprietary software. You are sold some device that does a certain job. However, how exactly it does this job, is kept from your knowledge, because if you know it you would be able to make copies of it yourself, which would hurt the bottom line of the party selling the device. A more homespun example is KFC's recipe for their fried chicken. If the secret recipe is known, people would be able to make their KFC-flavor fried chicken at home. They wouldn't need to visit KFC to get it.

(iv) once we see that the "trade secrets" alluded to are things like closed source software's source code, and KFC's secret recipe, one thing that should immediately come to mind is the entire free software movement, the most prominent spokesman of which has repeatedly argued that proprietary software is "evil". Is it really okay to sell things that is promised to do a certain job but how it does that job is not being revealed? Would we ever allow drug manufacturers to sell drugs that promise to cure some condition via undisclosed mechanism? How do we know the closed source software isn't spying on us? Etc.

(v) Moreover, it becomes obvious at this point, that the only difference between the libgen type of cases and the "trade secret" cases is the difference in how easy it is to make copies. If you have a physical book or an ebook or an mp3, it's trivially easy to make an identical copy. But if you have a piece of KFC fried chicken in front of you, that in itself is of no help if you want a second helping. You can't just xerox the fried chicken, you need the recipe. And if the recipe is being locked away in some secret cabinet and you absolutely need it, then you need to steal it. But then this seems to suggest that those who pirate books have little basis on which to claim moral superiority to those who steal recipes/source codes. At the end of the day, they are both making unauthorized copies. The only difference is that the pirares are much more fortunate in that they have a much easier time making copies than the thieves stealing trade secrets. But is that a morally significant difference? How can it be that crime A is morally less bad than crime B simply because A is easier to commit?

"Rusks", if anyone is curious. You dunk them into your tea or coffee to soften them before eating.

We are all, unfortunately, dumber than we think.

National politics is not something you walk into with mere “common sense”, neither is law nor military power nor economics nor international relations nor civil engineering, yet we all have Opinions about these things which we are encouraged to share via democracy.

It’s really easy to convince a crowd with appeals to fallacies of common sense or logic — in the case of Brexit, for example, I’ve seen people argue that the EU is simultaneously evil for not providing Greece with enough of a bail out, and also evil for asking rich countries like the UK to pay more money than it receives from the EU (which it does to help poor countries like Greece).

Such fallacies even affect people with degrees from Cambridge University, it’s not merely something we can blame on poor education and pretend we’re immune to.
Hey, I'm from Yorkshire and I don't pronounce any aitches, you stole the 'erb thing from us.

In a previous job I worked as QA supervisor for a medial robotic company. The job entailed maintaining a 1000 page spiral-bound testing manual which could be given to anyone from an intern to a senior programmer. A slightly cut-down version was shipped with every system to be used on-site by the installation technician and left with the customer to be used before any bug-report was allowed to be filed.

It was most definitely a checklist with the purpose of finding and verifying bugs.

But it was rarely used by the developers or engineers (that I know of) because of the implicit understanding that if something was in the checklist it was a) already a found bug and has been fixed or b) if a regression occurred, would be found by the army of QA testers.

So yea I agree, checklists are used in the wild but their usefulness to coders is limited. If indeed that was what the author was implying.
The best is probably Dropzone, but it doesn't have support for Amazon or some of the other features this does.

My impression is that until fetch supports cancel and upload progress, work on such libraries are going to have to be at least partly redone soon, and that has got to put a damper on contributions.

tried breaking ... if I could work up the courage to face it and work through it

Sound familiar :) Whenever I read some headline like this my thought pattern is almost always the same: 'nice someone also figured this and published this, nice this is on HN, but I figured this out already x years ago and it didn't help a thing, truly wonder if it's going to help someone else'. I like mind-expanding drugs which let my thoughts go ways they don't often go when fully sober and the amount of epiphanies I had through those experiences are numerous. And one of the first was definitely identifying the childhood/youth problems and seeing them as the base for later problems in behaviour. But just like the article doesn't really mention a solution in detail, just 'working on it', most of the ideas I have on how to actually deal with problematic behaviour either don't work or are for some reason too hard to sustain. The longest I succeeded in breaking a certain behaviour was 2 or 3 weeks, then I slowly slipped back into it. And even though fully aware of that, no deal. tldr; identifying causes doesn't seem too hard, identifying working solutions for psychological problems is where it's at. Maybe if mindfulness is a solution for you, you should blog on it..
Well if the theory is bullshit then surely it does not actually help anyone understand religion? So the Gods are speaking to people in the Iliad because it was actually one half of the brain speaking to the other. But the Odyssey allegedly is composed after the watershed moment, but Gods are still speaking to people. So the theory does not actually explain anything about religion.

The theory can "rationally" explain how Aphrodite speaks to Paris, but it does not explain how she teleports him from the battlefield to his chamber. So you still have to accept either supernatural events or that the story contains fictional elements. In which case the gods are much easier explained than through this theory, which have no other evidence.

And the narrative style of the Iliad (describing events and actions but not thought processes and introspection) is known throughout history.
Given the wide range of bots you mentioned, I’m very curious how you’re just blanket blocking all other bots? Could you elaborate a bit?

Having deleted my account months ago, I still keep receiving an email about one particular guy (who I don't know) wanting to become part of my network. I tried their unsubscribe link multiple times, to no avail. First I just didn't want to have an account anymore, now I hate them.
Thank you for the compliment!
The phone collects data and stores it on device. "Collect" data does not mean "transmit" data.

After data is stored, it can be extracted by attackers who exploit a vulnerability in the OS, or by anyone with physical access who finds out the passcode. (eg. by coercion, by camera surveillance, or by simply looking over someone's shoulder)

If an operating system truly put privacy first, all that data would never be stored in the first place.

Obviously it's a tradeoff. If you want smart recommendations and all the "AI" features, you need to collect and store a lot of data.

If you value privacy above all else, you have to store as little data as possible, and you have to say "no" to features that require analyzing a lot of data.

Don't be afraid to take less than you're prescribed. I'm unfamiliar with Vyvanse, but with other stimulants you can cut the pill down to take less. You can talk with your doctor about this, in the US at least they can prescribe fractional pill doses. You really want to titrate down to the lowest possible dose that gives you a therapeutic effect. Also ask about drug holidays.

I got that, but why not just a bar chart? Is there something I should be learning from this design to use when I share information professionally? Because right now if I were to chart data in this format for work I'd raise a lot of eyebrows, and I'd like to know what the advantage is.

I call this the American religion "You can be anything you want to be" - it is an concept threaded through much American media from children's books to pop songs and self help books.

There is some truth to it, but as the writer says, we blame people when they fail and even worse they blame themselves.

Slightly boring (I hate reading these patient's stories and details of psychological experiments) but the conclusions are priceless.

No, it's for any at risk kid, and many do come first. Most likely discovery since that would take a lot more energy and money.

Since there isn't really any motive to reach a solution, and no harm no foul if it doesn't work out. No one's going to really hold us to anything since it doesn't cost them anything more (sometimes less since we will pay for what they need when they are with us, none of that gets reimbursed).
There's nothing special about dual carriageway. A carriageway is simply a way that is wide enough and smooth enough for a carriage to pass. It's still a useful distinction because cars have the same requirements, but "carway" sounds silly.

The word road comes from the word ride which is still used today to refer to bridleways in Britain (for example, in Hyde Park: the North Ride and the South Ride). Road is therefore a much more general word and is used to refer to many more things than carriageways like railway lines, tunnels and even areas of water near shores.

As for the other stuff, it's true that British and American have both diverged from a common root. The best example is with -ise or -ize endings. Neither is completely correct because some words originally had one and some had the other. The Oxford English Dictionary reflects the original endings in its spellings. But at some point Britain standardised on one and America standardised on the other. Maybe -ise looks nicer but -ize looks cooler? Who knows...
So tldr is most US flour is bread flour, but you want plain flour for biscuits(scones).

First question that arises. I've never come across an US derived recipe that uses bread flour. Am I using the wrong flour when I make cobbler or 'cookies'(as in the soft bake chocolate chip kind)?

The second. Do you put jam and clotted cream on your bicuits(scones)? And in what order?
Did I say that garden faucets are standardized? Yeah you can get other sizes than the Gardena ones I guess, but those are more obscure. I think you will agree though that EU standards are usually followed.
