Agreed except for last part. Devs want to build homes, as that's what they do.
To be fair, this isn't their first or only response. They're building housing as fast as possible. Within a 5 minute walk from my apartment in the last year there has been 5 brand new housing towers built.

They've also introduced laws to stop people from buying up apartments to rent out via Airbnb.

Considering even with the law that limits how much they can raise their prices, they're just doing unneeded renovations to get around that law and increase the rent 40%.

This law in combination with the housing construction going on throughout the city and the Airbnb law I think it's the right direction.
What's missing from the list is Android and Google Play, the number one spy device in my house.

As far as I know there is only iOS and Android forks.
Android forks are an option if your phone supports it, but living without Google Play (Services) limits your app choices a lot.

Windows Phone and Blackberry sadly gave up the battle. Others like Ubuntu phone and Firefox OS never really materialised.

As far as Google Play alternatives go, there is the Amazon store and F-droid, but good luck finding even the most basic Android apps on either.

Honestly, I'd settle for a dumbphone with WhatsApp(extremely widely used here) and a browser. Almost feels like we're coming full-circle to the first iPhone with very few native apps and powerful web app capabilities.
"Disagree. In my experience a significant proportion of production incidents happen because a six line shell script gets modified incorrectly, or does not handle an unexpected condition properly."

"My" six-line shell script isn't on production. It's something I wrote to rearrange my mp3 collection, or whatever. Then I deleted it.

My personal threshold for leaving shell is quite low. We may make fun of Perl, but it's really a lot, lot better than shell for any serious task. It's even lower for "production" tasks.

But whipping out the Rust because I want a shell script to increase the brightness of my screen through the /proc file system is massive overkill. I can write the thing in the amount of time it takes you to compile the Rust, and I'm not particularly trying to make fun of Rust here... it's just massive overkill.
Sounds like the plot to the departed.
> It's just not a wise decision.

Children don't make wise decisions, especially not when they've been told for years that if they get a college degree everything else will just fall into place automatically.

I hear you. I use Signal. Despite having only negative experiences interacting with their development team on Github.

But I've used it since the TextSecure days and will continue to do so until the company is compromised. ~80% of my friends use it to contact me, at my request, many also since the TextSecure days when usability concerns were even more of an issue.

Perhaps we are both living in bubbles?
We're assuming the people would have been doing the biking regardless.
I hope Debian will drop x86_32 distro too, and finally will support 32-bit multiarch properly as a forced consequence. Cross-compiling 32-bit Mesa on 64-bit Debian is a major pain, due to multiarch being incomplete, multilib not working and so on.

UPDATE: Looks like Ubuntu isn't dropping just the distro - they want to drop multiarch packages as well. That's already nasty.
This is still a system on American control even if other currencies than USD are supported.

One thing is that countries may be cut off from swift. That limits money transfer in and out of the country but the bank transfers within the country would still work. Blocking this could potentially halt the internal money transfers of a country.
Yup and Facebook will have both tables. The companies that paid in will only get the one table.
This is true of quite a few tools.

Man, sometimes it's fun to imagine having a gigantic autocratic government like China that could just... build empty cities, or huge railroads that 11 people ride every day, knowing people would fill them up eventually. But then I guess you'd get everything else that comes with a gigantic autocratic government.
I’m pretty much in agreement with you I think.
Also when you read the article, its a pretty lukewarm statement the person made "I would get on it, but I dont know if I would put my family on it". That is a lot different than "THIS IS UNFIT TO FLY DO NOT GET ON".

A FaaS for Converting Your Google Forms into an API
It's great that Google wants to increase housing, but is this really going to work? The housing shortage in the Bay Area is not a money problem. If it were possible to build 20,000 houses in the next 20 years, it would absolutely happen without Google's help.

The problem with housing there has one simple cause: NIMBYism. SF doesn't want to allow taller buildings and denser housing complexes. It's vastly worse in the Valley. Towns like Mountain View and Palo Alto ought to be vastly denser, with apartment buildings, duplexes, and other multi-tenant dwellings. The people living there don't want that, though, so the laws prohibit it.

I don't blame people for wanting to keep their quiet neighborhoods and single-unit homes, or low-rises in SF, but until those objections are overcome, the problem is only going to get worse. So while I say that there's a simple cause, there's no simple solution.

The only solution is changing the zoning laws, and that requires changing peoples' minds. Once that's done, the money will flow in directly from tenants, and will ease pressure all around. If Google wants to build more housing, they need to spend that billion dollars on political efforts.
Let's see - software development can take different forms.

On one end you have work where someone gives you well defined specs and the tools you need, and you just go crank out some code on your own. That works well for remote work.

On the other end there are plenty of software positions that require people who can understand and develop requirements, possibly by talking with disparate groups like customer support, finance, sales, marketing, and so on who are not at all technical. These people may not understand the costs of different options so subsequent conversations about costs/benefits for different groups are needed. Sometimes these discussions might be contentious, as resources are finite. Sometimes there's a lot of back and forth involved, as the software person tries to understand the business - and vice versa.
I see. Thankyou for the explanation.
You sound like someone who'd enjoy running NixOS.

It would still require setting everything up again, but at least once you've done that once you can put the settings in a git repository and be done with it forevermore. Reinstalling is a trivial operation.
Decision making.

Anyone who looks at regulations like this and sees the Soviet Union is themselves a lunatic. This is not a planned economy, and people do not need to profit from housing to build it, and housing should be a human right.

Is a "fast compiler" really all that impressive though when a lot of the speed comes from not checking things that other compilers do?
Because that would be sensible :)
Little pickups really shine when you say "hold my beer" and then make them do something that people in a higher tax bracket would use a bigger truck for. It's socially unacceptable for the kind of people who Teslas are typically owned by to be doing those kinds of things (don't get me started) a UTE like this is a perfectly fine replacement for the small pickup that most them would consider buying.

Yes, a Ranger EV is going to run circles around this from an "ability to do truck things" perspective but if the you're just doing homeowner things with it then the difference really doesn't matter.

Edit: Why the downvotes?

This might be wrong, please say if I'm wrong. I think it's easier to dislike your tech product when you work inside the company. My company produces a mission-critical software/hardware (not something that'd kill people, but maybe harm them) and sometimes I feel very anxious since I know all the dirty dirty hacks that are put into our systems. At the end of the day, we all try to do our best, and our systems work, but it's still easier to be cautious when you know what's going behind the scenes. I don't think engineering can ever be 100% flawless, and this makes me anxious. When I'm just a consumer and not an engineer, I don't know what's going behind the scenes so this gives me a sense of security, since things seem to work.
No problem: Many people sublet their rent-controlled or outright government subsidized apartments for three times the official rent.

Finding a real apartment where you cannot be kicked out any moment is hard though. The best way in Berlin to find a decent place is to be low-income for several years, get on a waiting list and then finally get one of the luxurious subsidized places.

No chance otherwise.
In fact, it would be interesting to create maps of resources which are useful for today's society vs military presence of major powers near these resource centers.

It's sad how many times I walk around in SF and see basically crumbling buildings or empty parking lots and wonder why new housing has not been built there yet? And more importantly who would actually oppose development on crumbling or wasted land?

They already receive $4.4bn/year through the Länderfinanzausgleich (mostly from bavaria) to finance their irresponsible policies. I guess it will just be increased, no need for black/green coalition to add anything.
I'd say yes. Elderly people speak about how doing activity and crafts helps "keep their mind sharp" and further, deliberate practice theory says that if you continue to purposefully practice you will improve.

I think at some point as teenagers we just start thinking we were "above" some types of practice because we are "adults" and only children need to do X.
The problem with humans is that Free Will stuff. Eventually the human says or does something unpopular and your investment is written off, along with the politician.

Much more effective to pump money into the political parties directly. They're going nowhere.
They dropped 32-bit images sometime ago. This is about packages.

You have good content that needs editing.
Since all that does happen, what relevance is it to say you haven't met anyone who supports it? Do you consider yourself the kind of person who should have met such people? Do you move in those circles? Do you meet a disproportionately large amount of people, or people at high levels who influence policy?
> endless re-polishing of a system that is super safe already

Scrolling with my mouse is super safe – a system that can crash you into the ground at 500+mph and that relies on single (possibly faulty) sensor is not super safe.
> I don't think the fact that humans are social animals needs a citation.

Humans can (and should) get their social needs met anywhere, not only at their place of employment.

I've worked both onsite and remote throughout my career. I'd never advocate for forced remote work (because some people want to get their social needs met through their employer).

Rather, I'd argue that it should be considered as an option.
For me, the best way to optimize a Go program is to write it in Rust.
Google should take a couple billion dollars, build a company town in South Dakota, and simultaneously get a House seat and maybe even some Senators out of it.
> I would guess that google would get a lot more bang for its buck if it just outright bribed politicians with that $1 billion to enact policies that allowed constructing of more housing and better transit.

Hah - see my comment elsewhere.

Local politicians are definitely the choke point that doesn't allow the market to function properly.
Somehow it's comforting to see how laughably bad China is at propaganda.
Net by definition means after certain adjustments have been taken out (like taxes). Regardless $75/$150/$300 in any case, it's a slap in the face. A slap that you need to pay taxes on.
I was as well, but everyone involved here seems to have a really good head on their shoulders and obviously have the skills to back it all up.

I'm watching the youtube video posted on her channel [1], and I noticed that she brought in a lot of people with unique skills to ensure this was done right.

Working with Simone is a guy who has experience salvaging and rebuilding teslas, a guy who has experience as a race mechanic and has built electric racing vehicles, and several others with similar experience in critical areas.

And all of those skills really show! The truck has reinforcements added where needed, it has a roll bar added, windows that look like they came from the factory, telemetry and safety systems in the car are disabled where necessary and preserved where they can.

It's actually impressive how much this isn't just a "cut up a tesla to make it look like a truck", this really looks like something usable!

Or to take it a step further, whether it is inevitable that intelligent life will have both the capability and opportunity to make their presence known. Maybe some planets are full of superintelligent dolphin-like creatures that had their development stall because they didn't have the dexterity to manipulate tools to the extent that sapiens can. Or maybe there is intelligent life on a planet similar to Europa that never prioritized space exploration/communication because instead of an Earthlike atmosphere their planet is surrounded by miles of ice.
1) If you aren't important enough that the CIA would be interested in you, why not? Make it so.

2) There are plenty of innocuous people that fall under this category. Anti-war protestors, e.g., have been regular targets for this kind of activity (LBJ ordered the CIA to spy on the anti-war movement). Maybe you're politically inert, but not everyone else is.
Looks great and I can't wait to read it!

Another good book in this area, more focused on math perhaps (haven't read "Super thinking" yet) is George Polya's classic "How to Solve it".

A short book I found super handy and have re read a few times.
> Just wait until vendors only accept Libra as their payment option.

The vendors are the oligarchs in this scenario.

> It is not unrealistic either. When I was in China, I dined at restaurants that would only accept WeChat Pay as payment. Only because I was a foreigner was I able to get a pass to pay in fiat.

WeChat is not the result of a private endeavor, it is state-sponsored and controlled. It would be way worse for the government to manage Libra than for Facebook to do it. Gov has USD. This just plain competes. Competition makes all parties work harder on terms for usage. Its strictly positive.
Or somebody thought "50 Shades of Grey is a popular book with young women, and it'll show we're cool and modern", and didn't think farther than that.

You can definitely make a case for this being harassment of some sort if you _really_ want to see it under that light, but without more context it could easily be an honest mistake.
I'll hijack your comment to say, it's easier to justify refactoring something totally ass then something half ass. That argues against trying to do too good a job initially.
Pretty much top of the line.

There's a big difference between what is safe and convenient when you are sitting at your desk, lazily poking at the screen, and what is acceptable when you are barrelling down the highway, with the screen you need to stretch your arm to reach.
The phrase "hey I got something to eat today" was meant to be our paeleolithic ancestors on whom all our modern human reactions are based - we evolved in a world that had (say) equal amounts of good (berries !) and bad (snake!) - so our optimism and pessimism had equal workouts in the environment

now I would suggest our pessimism gets much more work out

However an interesting podcast (frwkonnomics) has someone last week saying their research showed that we are more pessimistic when stressed and more optimistic when less stressed (indicating that perhaps it is just the stress of the information overload leading to pessimism rather than the information content)

I know at some point I heard of a group that wasn't selling data about particular users but they were selling aggregated data about the users. In typical fashion they had convinced themselves that they were the good guys.

I'd be shocked if Facebook weren't planning the same thing.
Well said. Also worth noting that most of the languages like CPython are very slow because many optimizations are now prohibitively difficult given the "easy C-interop" constraint.
A much better solution would be:

1) open more large centers in other states. having a single supercenter with good jobs in one place only is bad for that place and country as a whole

2) encourage and promote remote work
One of my hobbies is to dream up fun ways to shame the higher ups. The basic gist of it is that you have to thread a needle between the fiction that you as an employee care about the business and the business cares about the employees and the reality that the business primarily cares about increasing profits and the employees just don't want to be bothered by silly management tactics.

So in order to be successful at this and deliver maximum shame you have to pay the same amount of lip service to the fiction as management does while savagely illustrating the reality. And do it as publicly as possible, but not in a town hall or all-hands meeting. All-hands meetings are ridiculously expensive from the corporate perspective so derailing them to make a point makes you out to be a villain. At least wait until they ask for questions.

But if the boss gets up and grabs everyone's attention for a minute, that's the perfect time to go on the warpath. "So what are we going to get for all this effort? Gift certificate to Applebees?" especially if that's something that's been done before. The idea here is that the boss is making an appeal to sacrifice personal comfort for the good of the company. That's never okay and is poor management. So raise the question of what we're getting in return.

The payoff is twofold. First everyone paying attention gets the pleasure of watching the boss squirm. Second is the eventual pavlovian conditioning that gets the boss to respect the workers by not making unreasonable demands just because nobody will stand up to them. They need to justify it with more than hoorahs.

The best part of it I think is if you do this once and get away with it, you won't see it again for awhile, then when they do and you have to remind them again, you can watch that flash of 'oh right, I can't do that with Vince around' on their face.

Won't work in the public sector where the expectation to sacrifice yourself for the public good is intrinsic to the culture. But I consider carrying the torch for workplace respect part of what I consider "managing up" and one of the things I try to bring to every role.
Also, in Seattle, it provides access to all of the other desireable aspects of living in a thriving metropolis:

- Good schools

- Lots of like-minded people to befriend

- Lots of places to eat, activities, venues, etc.

- Several higher and continuing education opportunities

- Good (well, better than almost all mid-sized cities, at least) public transit options

I definitely understand the appeal of living out in the country, but, for reasons I don't entirely understand, on many threads like this, people seem to completely overlook all of the myriad ways that living in a city is actually great.

It's not all grim concrete jungle hellscape. If I lived out in the sticks, I could afford a couple of acres and a +2,000 square foot home. But I couldn't afford a zoo, aquarium, bike trail, running path, music venue, movie theater, personal chef, playground, and coffee house to go with it.

The fundamental tenet of urban density is that by giving up some personal space, we all get access to a much greater variety of shared spaces.
This would be different?

Use the most battle-tested, well-supported SAML service available, even if it's more pain up-front; something that documents what XML canonicalization and signature algorithms and crypto suites it supports, so you're not dead in the water upon encountering a federation partner that requires encryption, or claims filtering and transformation, or whatever.

The federation service should live outside your app(s); app(s) trusts your fed server only, and the fed server manages trust relationships with third parties, handles stuff like claims mapping; apps should be architected to understand that user information has been somehow added to the request context, but isolated from the mechanism, and ideally not expect to have an external source of user state.

Get comfortable with the protocol over HTTP; capture the exchanges, decode the payloads.
