No one is ever going to make affordable housing on a scarce resources like land in a city. Developers will always build luxury housing.

When building was allowed, you got richer people moving into new luxury housing and as buildings aged, instead of fixing the luxury features, landlords would lower the rent and target a different market.

Now that many cities do not allow enough building you get richer people staying on those aging buildings or even moving into the city and competing for fairly run down housing.

If we don't allow building then two options are allocating housing by price or by lottery(like rent control), but either way people lose out because you can't put 110 families in 100 apartments. Unless more housing is allowed to be built there will be this frustration
Do you think it would be interesting to analyze CSS across a few pages? I've created base CSS files that can cover a few pages, knowing that some elements won't be on all pages, but that the CSS document is cached so it makes sense to send everything down at once.

Or is this more for a launch page (or one-site website)?

I hike to a desert oasis in the Mohave Desert of California where a crack in a cliff wall has scalding hot water seeping down the cliff wall, which happens to have a high lithium content. There is a creek the hot water flows into, and people have sand bagged various hot pools to soak. The placed is called "Deep Creek Hot Springs", and it internationally famous. About a decade ago I looked up the lithium content, it is published, and everyone there talks about how calming the hot springs are, lasting for days.

>Google's going to have a hard time arguing that a feature X11 has had for decades is something beyond its resources to implement.

I don't know, Mozilla had an easy time justifying how they broke the key remapping API with no replacement [1], even though Super Metroid (1992), on the SNES, allowed you to do that. SMH.

[1] Extensions can remap keys ... after a tab's page has loaded. Which means that if you have move-tab-left/right remapped, you can't sail through the tabs because they'll randomly stop to wait for the page to reload.

Everyone always says this type of response about everything though. If you like X, you’ll say, “In my experience you can /s/X/Y and all the criticisms of X are even more damning criticisms of Y!”

All I can say is I’ve had radically the opposite experience across many jobs. All the places that used monorepos had horrible cultures, constant CI / CD fire drills and inability to innovate, to such severe degrees that it caused serious business failures.

Companies with polyrepos did not have magical solutions to every problem, they just did not have to deal with whole classes of problems tied to monorepos, particularly on the side of stalled innovation and central IT dictatorships. Meanwhile, polyrepos did not introduce any serious different classes of problems that a monorepo would have solved more easily.

Open source software workflows are very common and provide a _lot_ of tooling, e.g., Maven, bundler, npm, etc. Add semantic versioning and you have a lot of tooling that you basically get for free for polyrepo setups. With monorepos, you have to really spend a lot of time tooling, because you basically don't use the OSS tools.

There's a lot of odd arguments in this blog that are very spurious:

"If an organization wishes to create or easily consume OSS, using a polyrepo is required."

What? _Consuming_ OSS is usually not that bad. I've even imported the complete history from external repos, pretty easily. (It does suck with git but I wouldn't use git for a monorepo...) _Contributing_ to OSS is tricky, but the fact you use a polyrepos don't really help you much there either.

"Polyrepo code layout offers clear team/project/abstraction/ownership boundaries and encourages developers to think carefully about contracts."

Clear ownership boundaries has _zero_ to do with polyrepos. In fact, I'd say monorepos can be easier, since you say "everything under this directory is owned by X,Y,Z". There's no search function that's required to figure out where some other team hid their code. So many times, with polyrepos, projects are _hidden_ because they're off in some other grouping unit that you're not a member of. So you don't even know who owns what or where it came from.

In the end, I'd still strongly recommend using polyrepos because you get _a lot_ of tooling for free, and most integration issues are solved with semantic version locking and CD automation. But the arguments here are not really great.
Very insightful: 'They are smart people who don't know much yet.' One thing to consider is that understanding only how a compiler organizes things or how a good assembly programmer understands the world is not conducive to anything but optimization. The true generalist, while able to perform binary analysis and understand executable file organization, is not tied to that. They are pattern people. Learn the pattern, see the relation.

Both things matter, and you need to consider what the follow-up test might be and what it would cost not just financially but also in terms of pain, lost time, risk of harm and so on.

There are medical tests which have such a high rate of false positives that in practice in the absence of other indications you would ignore a positive result, because the only possible follow-up test would be a non-risk-free biopsy, and therefore, for your peace of mind, it's probably better not to do the first test at all.

I've never heard the repackaging of facts referred to as "plagiarism". That said, the only difference between plagiarism and what you discuss is that plagiarism is, generally, detectable and stealing facts is not. If it were, I'm sure there would be different rules and provisions in effect.
While I agree some of that sugar does a lot to clean up a lot of boilerplate code that we used to have to write, such as arrow functions retaining this in scope without having to do binds or "self = this" stuff we used to have to do. as well as adding let which allows you to properly scope variables. It is sugar and the language was perfectly usable without them but they sure do tidy up the code we write.
Did you get that backwards?

Off-topic: How do you use React with an embedded project? Do you host the web-ui somewhere else and then use data sent from devices to chart results? (most embedded applications I saw were doing auto-adjustment & anykind of output means a tiny LCD display with numbers).

Also, often when C/C++ comes up, more often it is embedded, but when I learned C/C++ it was mostly os/game/dbengine etc.

Embedded sounds interesting but not sure where to start. A few pointers for beginner friendly resources would be appreciated!(will try to get my hands on the books mentioned)

Also, do you think if I start now, Rust is better?

It's probably a matter of taste - but I think they should be in the same repo. I like tying test failures/regressions to a specific commit for documentation and admin purposes. Having a test fail or regression due to an 'unrelated' commit in another repo sounds like a nightmare waiting to happen when you try investigating.

I the difference of opinion is between developers who work on self-hosted "evergreen" products where the latest version is deployed, and others who work with multiple release branches with fixes/features constantly being cherry-picked.
Firstly, I agree. You can't hide from that, and research should be upfront with the limitations of the work.

Other commenters have noted that the sensitivity is 100% with specificity 82% (false positive rate being 18%). I wanted to provide my own take on what that means for me as a future provider (I'm considering becoming a neurologist after medical school). I'm assuming to the data science crowd here, it's almost second nature to know what these numbers really mean in practice, but maybe I can provide some outside perspective.

When considering screening tests in medicine, we have to always balance the benefits and risks of conducting these tests on patients. We have to figure out how reliable a test is, and how patients benefit from earlier detection.

In this case, it's an imaging test, so noninvasive. However, it's a test that requires radiation (positron emission tomography or PET). So we already have to determine if that extra radiation dose is worth the increased risk for something like cancer. In an elderly population, it's almost certainly worth the scan given the radiation would not significantly impact their decades of accrued radiation damage.

Now, what happens if a patient has a positive test, 6 years earlier than they would normally? Let's assume for a moment that it was a true positive test. They could receive treatment earlier, which could improve their quality of life. They could adjust their risk factors to slow down the progression of disease. The treatment could have side effects, such as increased blood pressure. If we apply that to a large population scale, would we increase mortality associated with heart disease by treating patients with suspected Alzheimer's earlier?

Lastly, I wanted to touch on the effects of a screening test with a large amount of false positives. I would argue that a screening test should be allowed to have lots of false positives, simply because we can always do other tests (neuropsychiatric evaluation like MOCA score) to improve our accuracy of detection. However, if we do these other tests, we have to again balance the harms with the risks. Mammograms, for instance, could give false positives that could warrant a breast biopsy. In the case of Alzheimer's, a false positive could lead to stress and depression in an elderly population already at higher risk for stress related disease.

In short, screening tests are great if there's a way to do something about the disease. As far as I know, early prophylactic treatment (with current medications) of Alzheimer's does improve quality of life, slowing progression of the disease manifestations, with relatively few side effects.
Generally classical music has more dynamic range than popular music, some passages are barely audible, while others are explosively loud, so I think they are a bad fit for noisy public places. Also many classical works wasn't composed as background music, but rather as music that itself is the centerpiece of a performance, and thus they do need more attention from the listener, rather than remaining in the background of things.

QMK has been the most joyful open source thing I've ever used. Typing on my second split keyboard with weird chording right now. I've seen a spike in rotary encoder support lately (on the Planck and an upcoming new version of Keebio's Iris-the old version of which I'm using now) so keep an eye out for that if you're into fun extra input methods on your keyboard. I'm looking forward to having etch-a-sketch style arrows, personally.
>The 60-year-old said that to reach the center in Houston, orbiting astronauts have to dial 9 for an outside line, followed by 011 for an international line.

I suppose it makes sense, but there is something jarring about someone in space having to dial 9 to get an outside line. I forget that, in some sense, the ISS is a workplace, and while the view is fantastic it still isn't immune from some of the banality plaguing the rest of humanity.

It's interesting how the trend in newer OSes seems to be towards client apps running in some sort of VM. Windows runs Linux. Some Chromebooks run both Linux and Android.

I wonder if we'll get to the point where hardly anything is a native app and the concept doesn't matter much anymore? The host OS just exists to run guest OSes.
One of the best ways to profitably build affordable housing is to build luxury housing 25 years ago.
I still use a Windows Mobile phone, an HP Elite x3. I get monthly security updates, I have a web browser, maps, WhatsApp is still available for it, etc. But most trendy new apps aren't available and that isn't a problem for me.

Unfortunately, security updates are expected to end sometime this spring, and I may end up having to get an iPhone.

What's really exciting for me is Librem and Necuno working on Linux phones. Which wouldn't be app-laden nightmares, but would be usable open source smart devices.

Wittgenstein is one of those rare, inimitable thinkers. I get a sensation reading his work that I rarely get reading the work of others: that he truly was someone who thought about the world with great incisiveness and depth, beyond the confines of any particular discipline or outlook—a logician with a mystic's underbelly. Each one of his pithy notes exudes the degree of exhaustiveness with which he's contemplated the topic—it's a great experience. I highly recommend checking out some of his writing. Aside from the Tractatus it's not systematic, and as such I do not think there's any particular reason to study it systematically.

Philosophy as analysis, philosophy as therapy—Wittgenstein's writings present the collision of both of these perspectives.

> I cant decide if that is amazing or depressing.

I suspect that is because you mix up two different things: the wonders, and human nature. The wonders are amazing. That it is human nature to normalize to the point of taking them for granted might appear depressing. On the other hand, almost everything that we have normalized is mind-blowing and non-obvious when you think about it for long enough. So normalization is also a necessary coping mechanism to get stuff done.
Not exactly. You can use star location to determine a spacecraft's orientation (and they do), but its location is determined by measuring the doppler shift of the carrier signal sent from the spacecraft back to earth and running those results through some pretty hairy math. GPS works by having a network of beacons in known locations transmitting signals with known timing. I just learned from a sibling comment in this thread that they're working on using pulsars as the beacons. But building an artificial GPS system for the solar system would require sending out a network of satellites into solar orbit. That might be technically feasible, but not economically feasible.

If you look at the referenced map, the affordable states aren't exactly hotbeds of opportunity. Anecdotally,I had to move from one of those to one of the not affordable ones to have a decent career (by my standards). On a less anecdotal note, they are also less populous states,so they don't represent the condition experienced by most Americans. If trading off "quality of life" for the ability to participate in a high productivity industry like tech is a common experience, what is the aggregate effect on those industries?
Why? You are just creating more work for yourself by keeping the components in different repos. Now you need to create N commits when updating something. If your future self wants to investigate how the software has evolved there are N times as many commits to analyze.
On the other hand, better education is (particularly on this board) usually recommended as the most important defense against unployment due to automation or outsourcing. How does this fit together?
