Too bad they didn't measure xterm. That one has always felt the best to me on a native Linux system by a large margin.

Also Microsft's default WSL terminal (ubuntu.exe if you happen to be running Ubuntu WSL) is a lot faster than anything else I tried on Windows. I suppose that's what you get for using a low level UI API that's optimized for performance. Its input latency is lower than any other app on Windows.

Back in December I did a Windows terminal review at: https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/conemu-vs-hyper-vs-terminus-v...

There's no scientific measurements on input latency but input latency is something I pay a lot of attention to, especially considering all you do is type into a terminal. It is the most important thing IMO. The TL;DR is the default WSL terminal is a lot better than anything else for low latency, but WSLtty is what I use personally due to it being more configurable while still being OK'ish for latency. Hyper and Terminus were the 2 worst performing terminals in both input latency and having UI bugs that made the terminal unusable for day to day usage (both Electron apps).

> that's the kind of organization they should be buying homes in

Or maybe buy in a city that makes the decision to not allow that kind of rental?

I don't see a significant difference in a step up from the association I was in where you deemed that ok, to a city making the same decision.
Here are a couple issues:

- If it is already connected to an iPhone, it'll delay its appearance. Disconnect them from the iPhone.

- If you have lots of wireless devices (mouse, phone, wifi, keyboard, etc...) you'll probably run into an interference problem. My airpods connection doesn't drop often but my Wifi connection does.
I'm not sure I'd board any 737-MAX's at this point.
They offer a hotel booking platform. Their value is the network of renters and rooms—the tech stack is fairly trivial by comparison.
It's been well known since it first existed that UPnP is a security nightmare. If anyone really wants to use it, extra care should be taken to ensure that it is never exposed beyond your LAN, although it's far better to just disable it entirely.

It's too much to expect non-techies to know this, but they really, really need to be informed about it.
I feel there is a difference between putting your home up for short term rent while you're away versus buying multiple homes that you never stay in and operating them as a self-service hotel. There's nothing wrong with this, but if you run a business, you must file the appropriate paperwork and follow the same rules as other businesses.
> What about elective medical treatments?

Should companies have to advertise mammograms to men? Or vasectomies to women?I would object to this - not because of targeting certain populations but on the grounds that ads for medical treatment should not be run at all.

> What about vacation deals (often partially sponsored by real estate interests)?

Why not? I don't see how people would be negai impacted by not being exposed to vacation deals. Jobs, credit, and housing are necessities and if a group has lessened exposure to those opportunities they are at a disadvantage. Trips to Vegas are not necessities and not being exposed to deals to go to Vegas are not harmed (one could even argue that the ones being advertised to are the ones harmed here).
Tips for Your First Tech Conference
Isn't it obvious? People buy appartements in nice city centers only to rent them on AirBnb, causing all kinds of disruptions (local shops turn into tourist shops, etc.) and reducing the number of flats for locals. This is exactly what is happening in my neighborhood (France). It's terrible.
Still seems a stretch to lump that under cybersecurity.
Linux-loving developers can switch to MacOS and get productive with it instantly... American devs probably default to Macs instead of Linux because some of their non-tech friends also use Macs.

As a European dev I just use a Mac because I love the Linux-ecosystem but I also need/want to run preferred photo/video-editing software on same machine I code on.

Very few Linux-loving-devs have audio-visual-creative hobbies and a need to use "one device to rule them all", hence not that many devs with Macs in Europe, simple :P

What makes the wireless case $50 more to produce? It must use same communication chip and extra coil + wireless controller. Or it is just a way how to prepare people for the next/future price hike?
What you are describing is precisely the same situation I had when I lived in an apartment building next to a long-term tenant.

She simply didn't give a shit about the noise and trash she generated and all of us had to deal with it. The landlord didn't care either.

The police told me to deal with the landlord, because the noise wasn't at 3AM and wasn't "an event" like a concert. But her music was loud enough to shake my walls such that pictures fell off of them.

The town never returned phone calls. I simply vacated the apartment and told the landlord he would be more than welcome to sue me in court for the remainder of the lease.

Strangely, he never did, but I have a feeling that I would have had a hard time defending myself in court.

Though it is an unpopular opinion, I now feel that single family homes might be peferable to apartment buildings, if the caveat is that "the town and police will not do anything about anti-social behavior" as it is so rightfully called in the UK.
I'm the absolute last person to think that tech can be trusted to regulate itself for anything. We've seen how companies like Amazon and eBay cater to their power sellers, how social media caters to its advertisers, &c. &c.

It would be delightful if AirBnB were to be the exception, but as Reagan(?) said, "Trust, but verify."

Who does the verifying if we remove local government from oversight?

It does not put modules in GOPATH, at least not where you'd normally find them. Pre-modules github.com/foo/bar would be in $GOPATH/src/github.com/foo/bar. Now they are in $GOPATH/pkg/mod/... (... being based on the URL with some handling for versions and characters that don't work well in filesystems, I don't know the exact details).

The main problems I've had with go modules are fast-and-loose upstreams that happily rewrite history. go mod detects this and stops the world, and you have to manually edit go.sum.

I also feel like "go get github.com/foo/bar" doesn't always get me the latest version. You see that there was a commit 1 hour ago, but then "go get" adds a version like 20181130-93874837 to your dependencies. I assume they know what they're doing? But I'm probably wrong.

I actually organize all my projects using the go way, there's nothing that stops you from coexisting Haskell in the Go tree. The advantage is that if you are working on something like the kernel, you can maintain separate branches easily.

That said, mod allows you to put your project anywhere but in the GOPATH, so the answer to your question is yes. The path is virtualized in the mod file.
"Prevents" is overstating this a bit. The IPv6 Privacy Extension is a hack that doesn't completely mitigate this sort of problem. It's just better than nothing, and is all we have.
>Because people start by calling the police to complain it immediately becomes a legal and local ordinance issue.

That's because in the kind of "upscale but not too upscale" kinds of places where AirBnB tends to flourish conflict resolution is such a lost art that calling the police on each other is what people do.
> an online information/marketplace/intermediation firm

Well, there is what airbnb say it is, and what it really is in reality.

In a lot of places airbnb is a way to make big bucks via short term touristic rentals (coupled with no tax) instead of renting to actual people living in the city. This itself has creates many problems for local communities.

I've seen houses with 4-5 airbnb room and professional cleaners etc ... it's an hotel, minus the security, minus the insurances.

> Business models are changing along with the societal changes in communications technology.

The other way to interpret it is: "disrupting tech startups are destroying communities and local businesses, by creating / enabling tentacular monopolies which operate above the law".

How do you explain that airbnb payed less than 100k euros in 2016 in France, its 2nd biggest market at the time. [0]

All these companies are going through seriously sketchy processes to make money [1] [2] [3], they just transfer their costs and responsabilities to foreign countries, local communities or their own employees. These things might fly in the US/UK (and even there people are fighting) but they sure won't fly in a lot of EU countries.

They may have quietly made Bluetooth improvements but not mentioned it, in the same way you won't see Apple acknowledge fixing the constant problems with their keyboard on descriptions of their newer Macbook pros.
I have Jabra 65T earphones, they just work like you described with my MBP and Android phone. And no battery wear-out issue.

They're not much cheaper than the airpods however.
I think that's a fair assessment of Jane Jacobs' view. At the same time, a lot of people read Jacobs somewhat selectively. She may not have wanted multi-lane traffic to go through Washington Square Park and [have wanted] mixed-use organic growth. However, she was also in general very much not in favor of bulldozing swaths of low-rise housing to build large apartment blocks as many seem to feel is the antidote to high housing prices in the city of their choice.

ADDED: I expect a lot of folks here would absolutely characterize Jabobs as a NIMBY in a lot of ways given that I think it's fair to say she was far more concerned with the livability of cities for their residents than enabling a large population influx.
Mostly correct. US zoning laws in particular are responsible for urban sprawl, separation of services from housing and the massive environmental impact that produces. Default mixed use is demonstrably more efficient use of land. Cleaver neighborhoods are toxic.
This is a really great idea.

I could easily see variants of this happening. For example, companies could fund the students and get to pick first.

I can think of at least 5 people I know that has the potential to become competent developers, but their problem is exactly what this solves: they already have jobs and mortgages.
Presumably it's easier to include extra vitamins and minerals in artificial meat than it is for 'real' meat.
question: what happens if you wanna organize your software in modules? so for example, a main module (package main) and a secondary module (core). Do you init both as separate modules? and then you use the second as dependency on the first one? do they have to be actually published somewhere to be accessible in this way?
I'm fine with 3 years replacement. 3 years is a very long time for a particularly small and useful device. Also $200 is not a lot of money. Inflation is under-rated in the USA.
Huh? Can't print this email? Let me forward to my non-secure other address.

Huh, message is going to expire? Better make a screenshot that syncs who knows where.

If they were serious, they'd create a mode that mirrors Protonmail, where they can't even read your stuff. And make it easy to use PGP.

As suggested below/above, the fact that our company Office365 Android env stops me from copy pasting text to other apps does one thing: It makes me forward certain mails to my home address.
I can see how a single instance of a particular accident type might be unavoidable, but every subsequent accident attributable to the same cause(s) is absolutely avoidable.
> ...are something akin to black hat hackers.

There is an important difference. The people working in financial markets have lobby power to change laws and create more weaknesses.

So, it will be more like if black hat hackers paid part of the salary of the IT-Ops that have to patch the software. Half of the server will run on unpatched Windows 95 and there will be long discussions on why updating is not a good idea because of made-up-reasons.

And if Hotels close down due to AirBNBs there's more space for appartments where there once were hotels. If the AirBNBs take less space than the hotel they replace it's a win for appartments. If they cause more tourism it's a loss. What the overall effect is is far from clear, I haven't seen any thorough analysis on that.

It's naive to only look at one factor and ignore the others, yet that's often how far this debate goes.

Political clout in DC isn't what runs organizations and gets the day to day business done. It's what plays well on the hill in pointless back and forth BS sessions that a totally ineffective congress likes to have, it probably helps to some extent in budgeting discussions, but it's more posturing than anything else in a lot of ways.

Anywhere you go in the military you'll find all the GOs who are in charge, and powerful, and senate confirmed, and all that good stuff, and they've got a Chief of Staff and an aide who actually run everything, and can continue to do so if their GO walks in front of a bus. It's no different in any huge bureaucracy -- sure, CEOs make decisions, but the day to day business doesn't stop if they don't answer the phone for a while. I would actually posit that if it did the whole organization is dysfunctional to the point of ineffectivity. But I'm being redundant in describing DC that way perhaps.
Suggested a feature on GH project. Would be cool to see an extension for this, similar to dissenter, that could inject related comments, particularly for websites that don't even have comments.

I mean let’s be real: you described dozens of industries.

From sports teams to manufacturing, our industries are fueled by externalizing the costs (cleanup, infrastructure, social services, etc).

Locals need to collectively take back their agency in order for things to change. Stop manning their front desks, occupying their cubicles, leaving neighbors and families behind for long commutes on crumbling roads in tin cans.

Stay home and work together as neighbors.

Yeah I agree.

1. I don't think Airbnb cares to do it at all.

2. It would be a very hard job even if they tried to do it.
Isn't it much cheaper? Seems that would be attractive to many.

I'm surprised to hear the Google experience is so poor and risky that no one is using it for fear of losing everything.
Actually, it would be great if comments had ActivityPub integration. Then you could comment on articles from your Mastodon account.
The article is essentially about tax authorities trying to offload their work on AirBnB. Irresponsible owners will not disappear if it happened.
At least they’re getting a free computer service. One could compare it to the missions that feed and house needy people, under the condition that they also accept religious proselytization.
To what end, though? What is the point in endless expansion? I think at this point we're just expanding out of some basic evolutionary urge, but like other such urges that have outlived their usefulness, I feel like we need to revisit this one.
Whiteboarding
There are not many "corporate-owned mini-hotels" but there are certainly hundreds of thousands of people that buy one or more apartments with the purpose of renting them out through AirBnB (or not sell apartments that they would otherwise have gotten rid off).

AirBnB doesn't make the little guy make a few extra bucks renting out a room as much as it makes those who already have money buy up studios and one bedroom apartments. The effect is that such apartments get more expensive for those who just need a place to live.
Can you remove people from the program midway through, if it seems like they're not doing well? If so, what are the rules around this?

In some ways this seems like a very selective program, since you pay people to do something whereas your competitors charge people. But selective programs would want to get the very best students — and here there's actually an adverse selection problem. That is, people who think they will be rock stars and get high-paying jobs will not want to enroll with you since they would expect the longer payback period (at their presumed high salary) would be less favorable than doing a typical program with a payback period that is half as long.
I'm from the southeast of Brazil. Nearly every place has a water filter, separate from the normal faucet, for the drinking water. The water tank on buildings and houses is normally made of plastic, not wood (though in some buildings, it's made of concrete and part of the building's structure), but you never know if it has been left uncovered, or how recently it has been cleaned (and the plumbing, as far as I know, is never directly cleaned).
> Your attitude is not one of desire to understand, but rather of desire to dispute.

That's how understanding works. In science this process is called peer review.

> Now, it seems like, for you to be content, you want some pearl of wisdom or utterance that would sound unlike anything that's ever been said before.

Nah, anything, that person did not know/think before would be good.

> That will not happen and it is an unfair yardstick. Enlightening is the state you experience during and after the experience; you simply would not believe that your brain is capable of taking you to that place.

That's about as enlightening, as having your brain before bungee jump to believe you actually gonna do it.
2. Is a complete inversion of history. “Western ways” were derived from Christian values, not the other way around. The value of charity, the importance of justice, care for the poor, days of rest and of work, the value of children—all of these are not things the West valued or understood in the same way prior to Christianity. The concept of “the West” is inextricable from Christian values and the evolutions of the reading and interpretation of its texts.
I‘m seasoned dev with 20 years of Java programming experience, I see no problems using Spring and I don’t see why anyone with similar experience would have any. It’s sometimes not obvious, how some things work, but it’s open source and the code is quite good to analyze, extend or replace.
>Why should zoning laws be fought tooth-and-nail?

Because infringing on people's right to do what they want with their property deserves a hell of a lot more scrutiny than it gets right now. Trying to centrally manage what can be done where doesn't scale. See SF housing prices.

>Can I open a nightclub in my house?

As long as it meets the standards that night clubs have to meet then sure. You're unlikely to be able to do these things and be commercially successful enough to subsity in primarily residential area.

>What about parking? Can I pave my front lawn and rent the space out as parking spots? Or maybe put a dumpster there for local businesses to put their trash in?

Sure. Just be aware that you might be on the hook if you do a half-assed paving job and the runoff affects your neighbors. Once again if you truly are in a residential area where this kind of thing is not appropriate you will have a hard time being successful enough at it to annoy anyone who isn't already annoyed by everything.

>There's a tree on my boulevard. Can I cut the tree down and park a truck on the boulevard?

This is more complicated because you get into right of way issues and the city usually has a pretty substantial right of way beside the road (sidewalk?) but sure, if none of that is an issue then feel free to cut it down.

>I decided to run a grow-op in my house. When I turn the electricity on, the lights fade in my neighbours houses because the load on my grow-up is so much bigger than the equipment is designed to support.

If the power company was worried about QoS to the other customers on the street they wouldn't give you the massive breaker you need for that operation. If the neighbors are really bothered by it they can complain to the power company and if they complain enough then it will get addressed. There is no need for laws for this sort of thing. Once again if you're really in a residential area you're unlikely to get that kind of service if you really are somewhere it would be a problem. The power company has internal rules about what service gets installed where (basically their own zoning) in order to ensure that breakers on bigger equipment upstream are not tripped during times of peak load.
