Is anybody else using that at the moment? How has it worked out?

Unfortunately, I never found those truly ergonomic keyboards available with a QWERTZ-layout, which isn't just a software problem, since German has four letters more (äÄ, öÖ, üÜ, ß) and those ergonomic QWERTY keyboards never account for this, so the value is diminished.

Elon Musk: Revolutionising Space Transportation with Stainless Steel
The point is that "acceptable levels of noise" depends on frequency of high noise levels, not just volume on a given instance. I accept that my neighbors use a chainsaw on occasion, and they accepted it just fine when I used a jackhammer in the garden to break up some concrete, despite very high volume in both cases, it happens so rarely that it's fine.

But far lower volume noise every evening would be far more disruptive.

You can get that with long term renters too, but typically it tends to be a bigger problem with certain types of use, such as vacation rentals, than others, and with long term renters you have more ability to try to resolve the issue before someone new moves in.

In this case increased average noise level is an observable property of short term/vacation rentals in a lot of locations. If the people renting out does not want it to be banned, then it is on them to ensure the people they rent to are considerate enough that residents are happy for it to continue.
Enforcement is difficult though, and not effective enough.

My day job is writing German COBOL, i.e. ABAP. The language changed a lot and is quite usable, except they don't have namespaces. But the worst is all of the cruft that accumulated. Not just of legacy code, but also in the language itself. So many different paradigms, old frameworks, everything is still working. On the other hand it is very high level for the job to be done. SQL can be directly embedded and there is a syntax check. There are a lot of integrated tools that are heaven and hell in the same time. The database migrations are so easy, but source code management, deployment is hell.

Obligatory XKCD - https://xkcd.com/350/
> That's really a textbook example of software projects going horribly wrong. It's often a good idea to take a step back and analyze whether you're overcomplicating things.

The question is what to do about it. Simply taking a step back and analyzing is not enough. Most of us have been on the projects that were overcomplicated and knew they were overcomplicated and knew a simpler solution and yet didn't have the power to do anything about it. The ultimate power is to be able to walk away form the project but how many people can afford that?

So, I believe the problem is not technical but rather socio-economic.

I am not sure how to solve it.
Exactly this. And if it's really so bad that you'd need this, just buy a simple phone with simple apps.

A few weeks back they said it was due to the delta h discrepancy, and Buzz did nothing wrong. This week they were saying that it was down to the docking rendezvous system being turned on, which had not been done before.

I don't know if they came up with new information and forget to redo that episode.

The delta-h discrepancy was a mismatch between the actual height above the moon, and what the navigation system expected, I believe Mission Control took over that.

The Programmer Mindset: Main Debug Loop – Dropbox Tech Blog
The ITU provides the answers you need, in various forms. But captured well here - https://www.itu.int/ITU-D/treg/VoIP.pdf where it says...

"In India, VoIP is allowed, but only for computer-to-computer communications. India deregulated IP Telephony on 1 April 2002 following the ITUís World Telecommunication Policy Forum held in 2001 on the topic of ì IP Telephonyî. Indiaís proposed unified licence regime, however, would impose no restriction on VoIP telephony or other IP-enabled services, provided they are offered by operators with a unified licence that have duly paid all required registration charges."

..In practice, this means Twilio can terminate a call into India, as long as the route the call takes is via a licensed operator. This is Twilio's problem, not yours. (unless it says otherwise in their terms).

It also means if an individual, physically within India, chooses to make an outbound call, over the Twilio service, then the endpoint has to be another IP-endpoint. Or if to a 'copper cable endpoint', then at least traverse over an appropriate Indian carrier at some point. Probably using some kind of PSTN-IP gateway. Again, Twilio's problem and not yours (unless it says otherwise in their terms).

These complications were introduced to prevent people in India setting up copper cable-IP gateways, taking advantage of cheaper retail call bundles, and selling them cheap on the wholesale market. Naughty!

Personally, I would contact Twilio. They won't be able to give legal advice, but they will at least tell you if they can legally facilitate the requirement.

The thing is: usually there's a fire plan - firefighters arrive at the building, read the code and look it up in the plan where exactly the trigger (or inlet for the aspiration tube) is. They do this insanely fast as they have been trained for this - while that security guard and the overtired technician were not.

This is a lack of training and a procedural failure - the usual configuration/process is that any alarm either automatically calls firefighters/police or via procedure the guard manually does this - immediately, not after 30min.

> I think flexibility becomes a double edged sword over time

Agreed in general.

For the specific case of number crunching though, sooner or later you would like to call out to a Fortran library. That and with DNNs being so popular now, flexibility over how 'tensors' are laid out in memory by an upstream library or how it has to be laid out to call another library is quite crucial.

> when you need to read, understand and modify some code with overloaded operators it can take longer to figure out what's happening.

If overloading has been a resounding success anywhere that would be in scientific computing. Unless someone goes overboard it really helps rather than hinders understanding by matching traditional mathematical notation.
I'd also be interested to hear Thomas clarify this. I saw a recent thread on Twitter where he and bascule were talking about it and it still wasn't super clear, but one specific point I recall is that Matrix has a significant amount of metadata stored on the server side which constructs a social graph. As opposed to something like Signal which has close to nothing stored on the server.

To me this seems like an issue of use case. If my goal is to be able to talk to my family and friends, and I don't care that it's known that I'm talking to them as long as the contents of the messages are private, that is fine for me. For a case with more stringent requirements, I can see Matrix not being a good recommendation in its current design.
Hmm .. I had a friend recently who rented out a room on Airbnb and had guests that trashed it. Airbnb did pay damaged on his claim.

He rented again and the girl asked if she could rent for a few more months. So they signed a standard city lease outside Airbnb and she hasn't left or paid. He's had to file eviction. That obviously isn't AirBNB's fault, but it's now 2 for 2 bad experiences that started with AirBNB.

I wonder how many people install cameras in just the entrances/open areas more as a general liability thing. It probably goes against Airbnb policies, might be unethical or illegal in some jurisdictions, but considering the horror stories on both sides, I can understand why it happens.
I think you are working on assumptions. You shouldn't.

If a person in a building that is not Airbnb-able, trust me, they will tell their tenants to say these things. I have experienced it myself in several Airbnbs i have stayed in.

Zero.

Those things are what a free society sounds and smells like. The people who want everyone around them to abide by an upper middle class standard of behavior where everyone keeps their lawn just the right height, ensures non-running cars are parked out of view and (practically) never makes any noise can move to an upper middle class neighborhood.

Edit:

I'm being serious. People need to care less what their neighbors do. Caring what your neighbors do and slowly codifying that over time is what gave us the affordable and walk-able utopias of SF, LA, DMV, etc.

> I have no idea what to believe here.

I often hear this kind of thing. This is a false dilemma. You hear one story from one side and another story from another side. Both sound reasonable, but it's so complicated that you can't evaluate it. Which do you believe?

The answer is that you can choose to believe neither. True, you have to make a choice between the two, but I think it's actually critically important not to believe. If you are the decision maker, and you do not understand the issue well enough to make a decision, then you need to do a risk analysis and make your choices based on that risk analysis.

After you have done that, you then you need to make predictions. Over time, it should become more clear which side (or perhaps another result that never had a "side") is becoming the more likely good choice. You need to track that issue and keep comparing it to your predictions. If it looks like you made the wrong choice, then you should go to your recovery plan (which you did make, right?)

That's how to sanely deal with these situations. The idea that you believe one side or the other, throw your weight to that side full force and then close your eyes and hope you were right is... Hmm... how can I characterise it? ;-) Not reasonable.
Not being a jerk includes having some measure of sensitivity regarding what is considered jerk-like behaviour in the situation you find yourself in, informing yourself, and erring on the side of caution in unknown situations. Of course, mistakes will be made, but that doesn't invalidate the principle.
> Its almost like one of those Black Mirror episodes

I'd always thought of Black Mirror as a warning or reminder to consider the wider consequences of technology. Not as a motivator to develop it faster.

The thought of this kind of technology (no matter how far away it really is from being deployed) terrifies me. I certainly do not trust someone like Elon Musk to develop it responsibly and pause to consider what it will do to all of humanity. That's what is at stake here, the definition of humanity, for better and worse.

I work as a contractor for a bank and while investigating a small security issue reported by a third-party audit firm, we discovered that the clever, bytecode-weaving-autogenerated-declarative security had been overriden by someone who added his own, equaly fancy security module directly in a parent project.

I cannot describe the shock when I realized what information an attacker could have gained in a window of 6 months the bug was active.

All of this code was written by experienced programmers, it's just that nobody ever wrote any tests to ensure the fancy security code was still in place.

To be more accurate you would say "restrict consumption" because that is what you are doing here. How do you plan to do that? If you did so by restricting extraction directly, as you seem to imply it would cause oil prices to jump dramatically. In fact, since oil is has extremely inelastic demand, this would be a massive windfall to the oil industry. The only other way to do it is rationing, which I'm sure would go over about as well as the massive price increase.
There will always be people that find ways around rules, but if the rules exist and are reasonably well enforced, then that is really what is required. This assumes the rule is reasonable, which does appear to be the case here.
