That wouldn't change with a repeal of Prop 13. Prop 13 also applies to commercial property. Prop 13 has nothing to do with the dynamic of wanting more tax revenue without having to pay for the social services--police, schooling, etc.

Whether residential or commercial, density is far more efficient--more revenue per acre, fewer expenditures per capita. Not choosing higher density is budgetary non-sense. Cities reject higher density because of NIMBYism, and because the costs of sprawl are hidden and delayed, whereas the costs of density are immediate and obvious. If the costs of sprawl were as transparent as the costs of density, development would be much more dense.

Scary but realistic in my opinion. It is an interesting question what other influences except yourself matters. Like "oh voting is tomorrow, let us add some terror in it" or much simpler "the new chocolate bar which launches tomorrow".
One interesting concept I read in Wittgenstein was the idea of decomposing a word into its constituent parts. I’ll use the term broom for it because that was the classic example and also the motivation for David Foster Wallace’s novel “Broom of the System.”

So you take “broom” and you could decompose it into “handle” and “bristles”. But then you could decompose it more, by recursively decomposing “handle” into “grains of wood” and “bristles” into “pieces of fiber” (or whatever).

You keep doing this ad infinitum, I guess on down to the summation of a bunch of quarks or whatever.

The question of interest to Wittgenstein was where does this process bottom out. What would it mean, either physically or semantically, to have a word identifying a concept that could not be broken down into further constituent parts.

Wittgenstein was interested in this for the philosophy of language. But I got interested in it by thinking about the decomposition as a mathematical operator,

D(“broom”) = {“handle”, “bristles”}

and then asking what it could mean if this operator D had an “eigenvector” with an “eigenvalue” of 1, so that Dx = x for some non-decomposeable word x.

In some ways, you can see how it could relate to things like word2vec and embedding representations if you could represent a decomposition operator, and define a hierarchical relationship of words as an ordering of how to more or less specifically decompose a word’s representation.
L-Systems in PostScript
You don't need complexity until you do.

Our company needed an internal tool, and they wanted remote access to it, but it was basically just a tool to generate a file based on a few inputs. We already had a command line program for it, so I wrapped it up in a web server and had it take input as a form input without any JS. It worked great for years, and then someone got tasked with updating it (mostly just combining it with other tools). He couldn't figure out how it worked, so he rewrote it to use a ton of JS, using Angular and other stuff. And guess what? He took longer to rewrite it than I spent the first time and made no functional changes besides some CSS and a ton of JS.

With all these fancy new frameworks and browser features, it seems that many developers have forgotten (or never learned) how to do things simply. Frameworks and browser features have their place (I built an interactive HTML5 app as my first project at that company), but they're often completely unnecessary.
Thanks for this, I was considering bringing params into CF, the main blocker being that it doesn't support secure params (which is obvious in retrospect, they wouldn't be secure in the template).
That's not what that means.

It means you need to operate inside the cryptocurrency ecosystem instead of counting on cashing out all the time, or you simply use any of the many non-regulated means to cash in and out of the ecosystem.

I must have used a different API, then. Well, obviously not but it could happen because there are more than one ...

I agree with https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/mongodb-frankenstein-monster-... the contents of this article (and reserve critique for its author).

Who Pays Software Engineers More: Tech or Finance?
Per the Wikipedia link:

"Frank Dikötter estimates that at least 2.5 million people [who died as a result of the Great Leap Forward] were beaten or tortured to death and one million to three million committed suicide."

And regarding the famine:

"Yang Jisheng, a long-time communist party member and a reporter for the official Chinese news agency Xinhua, puts the blame squarely on Maoist policies and the political system of totalitarianism,[36] such as diverting agricultural workers to steel production instead of growing crops, and exporting grain at the same time.[82][83] During the course of his research, Yang uncovered that some 22 million tons of grain was held in public granaries at the height of the famine, reports of the starvation went up the bureaucracy only to be ignored by top officials, and the authorities ordered that statistics be destroyed in regions where population decline became evident.[84] "

(EDIT: even better: "Benjamin Valentino writes that like in the USSR during the famine of 1932–33, peasants were confined to their starving villages by a system of household registration,[95] and the worst effects of the famine were directed against enemies of the regime.[31] Those labeled as "black elements" (religious leaders, rightists, rich peasants, etc.) in any previous campaign were given the lowest priority in the allocation of food, and therefore died in the greatest numbers.[31] According to genocide scholar Adam Jones, "no group suffered more than the Tibetans", with perhaps one in five dying from 1959 to 1962.[96]")

Gary Francione (Introduction to Animal Rights): “Descartes and his followers performed experiments in which they nailed animals by their paws onto boards and cut them open to reveal their beating hearts. They burned, scalded, and mutilated animals in every conceivable manner. When the animals reacted as though they were suffering pain, Descartes dismissed the reaction as no different from the sound of a machine that was functioning improperly. A crying dog, Descartes maintained, is no different from a whining gear that needs oil.”

Glad the author shared his methods. If you're going to repeat this, I'd suggest you give it a try with the first 10 to 15 pages. Something like a small zine. Then use all the tools and make sure you get the output you're expecting.

I've written several booklets that I sell on Amazon and my website. If you're interested in writing but not ready to commit to a full novel, try publishing a small zine or two. It's a lot of fun.

I see, not very familiar with both those idioms `?` and `ok_or()?`

My current understanding is that those would return an Error only?
I was more describing cases where you do want to return, but not necessarily return an `Error`.

For instance in a simplified example function that returns a boolean, you could decide to return `false`. is it possible there?

// Function that returns a boolean value
fn is_equal_to_ten(n: Option<u32>) -> bool {
// some one liner that checks for None, if it's not none, gives you `x` when `n` matches content of `Some(x)` (not real code):
if let Some(x) = n else { return false; /* what to do in case it's a None*/ }

// `x` is available here:
return (x == 10);
}

Would this be considered bad practice in Rust?
They talk in detail about how at many well known startups, the early employees went on to start their own companies, which indicates that they were good early hires because they were great entrepreneurial thinkers.

It seems highly likely to me that the reason so many of the first employees started their own companies later is because they got a great exit and didn't need a regular job after that. In addition the experience of being an early employee at a unicorn startup probably teaches you a lot about how to build something similar again.

In fact, I didn't realize that the gyro worked in both dimensions! I thought it was just a fast downward fall and it was actually hard to hit the red block since it kept moving. Then I found out you could lay the phone flat and slow the green block down and it was way more fun!

Kind of creepy but I don't have this camera anymore so I cannot do anymore tests...
When I first learned about noise (many years later than I should have), I remember finding out that Perlin noise was patented, so I looked into OpenSimplex[1] instead which is Java but has been ported to other languages. It turns out Love2d has love.math.noise built in which does the same thing. Would be great if PICO-8 had it too, although I think this one[2] is free too. But one of the coolest things was realizing that Minecraft landscapes are mostly just multiple applications of noise functions on top of each other, which means it only needs to store changes to the environment, and that it can completely regenerate the same environment using noise functions. Sometimes I envy game developers, until I remember how their working conditions are usually very horrible.

Our technology only lets us hear, speak or detect stuff that's within just a few light years. Our galaxy is tens of thousands of light-years across.

In earthly terms that's like saying "I walked to the end of the street and didn't find any Eskimos. So there's no such people."

There could be hundreds, thousands, or even millions of alien planets within our own galaxy but we are unable to detect them, and so they might as well not exist at all.

Not really at all.

It's targeted at enterprises like mine who currently use MongoDB on premise and are looking for a managed solution. The advantage of AWS over Atlas is you can use the same security and governance approaches e.g. IAM policies, ADFS/SAML integration, Cloudwatch/Cloudtrail etc.
Right? I see Chris Cillizza deliberately drop the concluding sentence of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez' comment to deliberately take it out of context[1] or a single CNN journalist fabricating sources for years[2] (not to pick on CNN too much, I don't think they're any worse than most news orgs, and they're better than a good few). And I think, there are some problems there, this deserves addressing, but to take that and scream FAKE NEWS in tweets every third day; that's just stupid.

There's more to life--and business--than money. Do we want to take advice from a man who hates the public? Do we want to build that future?

Even if what he says sounds legitimate, should we not question whether there are motives and ethics unmentioned that we might not have noticed, given his past behavior?

Should we mention it to viewers who may not be aware of who the man is, so they can ask those same questions as they watch?

If a man runs for office, and it turns out he used to be a member of the Klan, should that not weigh on the rest of his speeches, since presumably you can determine who he is not from what he has said, but from what he has done?

In fairness, it's not well known - but - you are actually the one that's wrong in this case. The loss of biodiversity is pretty staggering in the west, especially in the high desert country of the northwest in states like Idaho, Oregon and Washington.

It's not so much about precipitation but loss of biodiversity. For example where I was born, there was a 10 foot tall sagebrush forest covering most of southern Idaho a century ago. There were streams every few miles with more than enough fish and wildlife to support thousands of Native Americans. That's all been replaced with cheatgrass as far as the eye can see and a 5-10 foot drop in the water table so all high desert streams are essentially gone and the area can no longer support life. Rodents, cats and even people have contracted the plague:

https://www.idahopress.com/news/local/elmore-county-plague-c...

This was mostly due to widespread cattle and sheep grazing on public lands. Livestock ate all of the native vegetation so the topsoil ran off:

https://www.uexpress.com/new-republic/2015/2/6/the-cowboy-an...

Many groups like the Snake River Alliance and Idaho Conservation League work to reduce overgrazing but in conservative states like Idaho it's a constant battle with state and local governments. The BLM tends to cater more to ranchers and big agribusiness companies like Simplot than to conservationists.

I could write for pages about this but will just leave this link as a starting point:
