I lived by the beach outside Silicon Valley. My neighborhood gradually became more and more deserted. Executives would buy houses in the neighborhood, and just stop by once or twice a year to use it. At some houses I never saw anyone ever - over many years.

I think the real issue is that we let market forces determine housing prices and housing strategy. Housing is, like medicine, something that is poorly served by markets - since markets distort basic resources away from the common good.
Are there plans for Linux / Windows support? I don't own any Apple hardware, so I can't even try this, but if it works well I'd be happy to pay for it.
IP Addresses are Personal Data.

I think the easy way to check is to ask yourself if the data can directly link to someone's IRL identity.

If no, ask yourself if the police could identify them if they demanded and got the data.

If still no, ask yourself if the data is of a protected category (gender, religion, sexuality, etc.).

If you need any of this data, minimize your need first (ie this means storing IPs only for a limited timespan, german authorities have IIRC recommended 7 days as normal).

If you can't reduce your need, find another way to do what you do that has less need.

If all else fails, cover under legitimate interest and hope you're not Adtech.

Metal cutlery was only available to the wealthy in the middle ages. At some point they became widely available for everyone.

Such is the way with most technological advances, where the high price initially payed by the rich is turned into more productivity and lower production costs, resulting in greater availability.

Oh, you can blame that on all of us olds that have lived through 3-6 business cycles, yet still have functioning memories and attention spans. The last time, we were presented with data proving that it would never crash. We heard stories about why things were different this time. The time before that, we got data and stories. The time before that, we got data and stories.

Lest you panic and feel sad, we can also tell you that without fail, things will be going well again a few years later, we will have incredible gains in the markets and workforce, and soon after that we will start hearing of record highs in the markets and records lows in the unemployment rate. Such is life in an advanced society.
It was very straightforward code looping, counting and storing strings in memory and writing to a file, after 2 years or more I do not keep the code anymore, sorry. Looking in perspective my guess is that the optimized C runtime of python (IO and optimized string references) competed against Nim's bare strings.
I have not programmed in Nim and I am a Pythonista.

Having said that, I had to parse the whole wikipedia dump xml file once and extract just the text. The python code for the same was so slow and would have taken days to go through the whole xml file.

In my quest to find something faster, I came across a nim program that would take the xml in and dump a plain text file (or markdown?) file. It did the work within 2 hours.

So I don't believe it was slower than python.

Nim certainly has it's place and it is more comparable to go in speed.

> And (compile-time) macros are one thing, but what happens when you need metaprogramming at runtime (for example dynamic code generation)?

I'd agree that stage polymorphism is rarely used or appreciated in languages that don't have it (though I see no reason it should be incompatible with typing; as far as I can see your example is much the same as e.g. Scala's LMS; as with macros of course it's substantially more cumbersome to do this in a language with much more syntax than lisp[1]). I'm not sure that it qualifies as a "blub paradox" since to my mind it's a performance optimization rather than something that fundamentally changes language expressiveness - having AST-like datastructures that are gradually transformed/interpreted at runtime is very much a standard technique in ML-family languages, wider adoption of stage polymorphism would mostly lead to programming the same way and having it run faster, I think.

[1] I'm not convinced that it would be impossible to make a language with ML-style types but a very lightweight syntax that made metaprogramming easier. Personally even looking at e.g. Haskell I find myself wishing for a more visible syntax more often than I'm wishing for better interpreter tower performance, shrug.

I started coding for fun while an undergraduate in the late 60's and spent much of my time coding until I recently retired, except for one year when I dedicated my time to directing a project that led to a major system for the company. Most of that time was as a researcher and I had the freedom to use whatever language seemed appropriate. The list grew to dozens (anyone remember Bliss, Metafont, SAIL or the great SIGMA assembler?), finally ending up in Python within Hadoop. Since retirement I've time with J after spending a year or two with APL in the 70's.

I find I'm losing the absolute need to code, but I can't think of anything else that could have offered me the variety, depth and engagement (not to mention a reasonable salary) that coding has over the last 50 years.
I wonder how much of this is due to number of capable buyers dwindling when prices reach a certain point. There is a good number of people willing to buy a junky 2 bedroom house on the peninsula for $1M. Make that house $1.5M and raise rates a little bit and maybe people just start to say no thank you.

If you want to buy that $1.5M project, you need like $200K for the down payment and fees. Plus, you need the capital to remodel.

Perhaps salaries simply haven't kept up with the rise in home prices?

I am in my early 30s and struggled a lot with the social pressure of getting married, buying a house and having kids, all things I’ve never wanted to do since as far as I can remember.

I refused to obey to those social norms, which has caused several social connections to fade (especially in my original home country), as well as "disappointment" in my family, despite being successful in my career and many other areas of my life. However, I’m lucky enough that I found, for the moment at least, a woman as a partner who thinks the same as me, namely that love and companionship is enough to fuel life without having to “waste” it away raising kids or paying mortgages.
Ah thanks. That is very creative!

There are two reasons to pick other game systems over D&D:

1. You don't want the medieval + magic world and want to explore other timelines. Maybe futuristic, Star Wars etc.

2. You don't like the mechanics. Maybe the game system complexity slows you down or else there is some weird arbitrage opportunity that messes up the incentives. (Let's spend the whole game killing orc babies to build up XP instead of solving the clues and then just beat up the bad guy at the end).

A house in my neighborhood with extensive, extensive termite damage went pending after its first weekend, for over $2.0 million with multiple offers. My friend and I were discussing strategies for how much to bid, thinking it might go for $1.4 million, and then he could commit cash for a reno, but nope.

There are still a lot of people with a lot of money that want houses in good, safe neighborhoods in good school districts.

The magnet cites (NY, Boston, Vancouver BC, Sili Valley, San Francisco) all have nosebleed housing prices.

Are they sustainable? Or, just maybe, do some of the present owners want to cash out?

As long as people move to magnet cities and are willing to put half their pay into housing, the prices will hold up.

But, somewhere along the way the HR departments at big tech will start hearing, "I'd love to accept your offer but I can't afford to live anywhere near your office." That's when the "fundamentals" (stockbroker lingo) underneath housing prices will start to erode.

I. Love. Scrivener. My workflow is to sketch out ideas in MindNode, drag the outlines into Scrivener, and work in their to flesh them out. I find this infinitely easier and more flexible than outlining and editing in a word processor.

If you develop a new piece of software, especially a new language, documentation should be there so that the users can get in as fast as possible. I think Elixir is a great example in this regard that Jose paid attention to this feedback early and there is decent documentation for most of the things nowadays (minor exceptions). I have limited time and there are so many new languages, I will go with the one which has the lowest entering barrier.

For most of my gaming type friends, it's always a battle of MS vs Sony every single console cycle. However, after a few months of playing the main console, they almost always buy a Nintendo console as their secondary.

I don't think Nintendo minds being "third" place as long as the first and second place customers still buy their system. I know I would be happy in Nintendo's shoes.
Nitwits, Rubes, and Oafs
The rules most commonly thrown out around my table are things like "carefully track how much all your equipment weighs to make sure that picking up that loot won't make you encumbered", or "track the exact number of experience points you need to level up". Those aren't the most interesting bits of D&D, those are just the "if you really need a rule for it, here's one" bits.

I enjoy rules-light systems as well, for certain types of games that don't fit at all into a D&D-ish framework. But for anything that roughly fits the parameters of 5e, our group tends to gravitate towards 5e and enjoy the majority of its structure.

Windows support! That's a surprise.

Chocolatey is... ok. It works, mostly, but it's a common occurrence for upgrades to fail because the package maintainer forgot to update the hash, or the program's built-in autoupdater already ran and moved things around, or a phantom .install dependency is missing, or some other inscrutable problem. Competition will be good for it (and the developer sells a premium version, so I do expect proper competition). All the other package management tools on windows have fairly tiny repositories and are, as far as I can tell, optimized for the workflow of sysadmins building images.

I wonder if Brew has any plans to support that package management framework Microsoft is apparently still working on? (https://github.com/OneGet/oneget)
I am pretty sure the author of that blog post has not done so. Everytime I used pandoc or similar tools to convert text from one format into another, I had to put in a lot of effort to manually fix up things. Its not realistic for most cases. To-latex conversions are actually among the more developed paths, and all instances I can think of (pandoc, sphinx, dblatex) produce kind-of-weird output.

If you cannot stand latex but want to produce print-quality PDFs, Apache FOP (with Docbook) probably is your best bet. Otherwise your kind of bound to introduce a heavily manual processing step between writing and formatting for print.

I took an online class at Wharton Business School and the teacher said that Africa would be an economic power in twenty years. Teaching Mandarin in school is probably a good idea.

Naturally, people will gravitate to where they believe opportunity lies. It's a great opportunity now in order to foster commerce and trade with China which has focused on East Africa.

Yet, this is only part of the requirements. Connections and insidership are also important. Just like learning Japanese in the 70s and 80s didn't mean you automatically qualified for a job, if you had connections and were an insider, knowing Japanese helped quite a bit. It'll likely be the same here.

Zuckerberg's 2019 challenge: public talks about tech and society
I’m not saying that we shouldn’t have a social safety net, but the “distortion” in the free markets here is the UC benefits, not a contract gig that lets the worker decide whether they want to work 0 hours per week or 100 hours per week or anything in between. That’s pretty free market to my ears, and having a sharp public benefits cliff that starts at 0 hours instead of 16 is the source of the distortion.

Instead of blaming Uber for having work available for people who want to only do a few hours per week (or who can’t do more for whatever reason), why not blame the government for not updating their rules to better fit the actual reality on the ground?
My LG has LG software preloaded and t-mobile software pre loaded. it just takes up space and would be fine, but it is annoying. One of the LG pieces of software (i thin it is a back up thing) does not work anymore, but still exists. An silly things like the t-mobile permanent unlock your phone app. My phone has been paid for for like a year and if i click the app and request a permanent, or temp unlock it says i am not eligible, but i cannot uninstall the app.

I have heard the argument about being able to hide the apps, but it is not the same. This is the first android phone i have had where i didnt root it and install a new android version. Just got tired of that (lack of security updates). So i am stuck with crapware.

> Free and open source software has a strong tendency towards being difficult to install and get up and running. TeX and LaTeX are no exception.

Setting up a LaTeX environment in Windows can be difficult if you do not want to install one of the very big suites (although being honest, who is worried about 2GB when you need more space for something like printer "drivers"?). However, in most Linux distributions, you just choose LaTeX in your package manager and it works. And this is the case for most free and open source software. I do not know about Macs.

There are way too many options to give a simple answer to that question.

If you want to stick close to D&D, Pathfinder and 13th Age are obvious choices. If you prefer something a bit more raw, less polished maybe, deadlier, where survival is a goal in itself and combat may be better avoided, try one of the OSR systems, like DCC, LotFP, Labyrinth Lord, OSRIC, etc. Lamentations of the Flame Princess is weird horror and explicitly 18+. If you want the feeling of D&D but with a system that focuses more on the story and the experience than on all the numbers in D&D, then try Dungeon World. A lot of people lauded Dungeon World for recreating the feeling they had when they first played D&D.

If you want to get further away from D&D, well, what direction do you want? Fantasy? SF? Cyberpunk? Historical? Martial arts? Horror? Steam punk? Espionage? Military? Old West? TV shows?

I'm more of a leather gal, but... cough I think that's more of a fashion choice

I've been using LaTeX for over a decade and I've never heard/made these arguments about LaTeX "separating formatting from content" except when a colleague has painstakingly written a torturous macro to accomplish some fussy layout. And then we happily \include{their code} so that we don't need to look at that godawful mess mixed in with our prose. (okay that's a lie, my prose is interspersed with tikz arcana to make coauthors weep with pain and readers delight over the beauty of my figures -- yes there's some sadism and masochism involved, let's not deny it)

Latex gives a powerful basis for document editing that can be learned in hours. It's not special in that regard, and easier markup languages abound. For me and others, LaTeX is a turing-complete, flexible, high powered typesetting engine with good defaults and no handrails. We're programmers, not graphic designers, so we can handle a little (well, a lot) of flagellation to build intermediate tools in the language which accomplish repetitive tasks.

All that shit about the language being easy and helpful? It's written by fetishists for sure. Knuth is a big fan of literate programming but the code he writes is a godawful stab through the eyeball. Maybe somebody with more refined tastes in code structure could do a better job. But they haven't and we use LaTeX, so buckle up kiddos you're mathematicians now

A few points. First, he is an academic in the humanities. According to his article, most people around him talking up latex tell him the main reason for picking up latex is so you don't have to worry about design. There are not much equation-writing in the humanities, so that's outside his domain.

Second, he specifically does encourage using latex to typeset. Just not to type in the first place! Use Markdown, or a word processor, says the author, and then latex do what it is good at: typeset. But don't write long paragraphs in latex with attention-breaking code scattered around the text, since that places obstacles in the path of editing.
