I use Paprika as well. The most useful feature is that I can add a bunch of recipes to the calendar for a week, and then auto generate a grocery list synced to my phone. You can also easily scale the ingredients. I have a couple of friends who use it and say it clips recipes in foreign languages pretty well (but no ingredient scaling).

There have been a lot of apps in this space which were better but also subsequently abandoned by the developers. Almost all of my friends switched over to Paprika because they got tired of switching again and again.
This past weekend Oct 5th, the entire system shut down for the first time in its history.

> MTR train service is maintained at some of the railway lines. Due to serious vandalism, most of the stations in the network are temporarily closed. Service hour of the entire network will be adjusted and ended at 6 pm to allow more time for repair.

EDIT: Downvoted and flagged immediately because this story goes against the narrative...
It costs a lot because of political reasons. There’s no technical reason why NYC subway construction should cost 10x what it does in Paris, and yet, it does.
I don't buy the argument that having a bunch of vendors extend the ISA makes it more secure. I think we would end up with an ecosystem with a lot of custom extensions and functionality that will end up exposing more attack surfaces and that would make it difficult to know if your device is affected or not.
I don't get the tiny house thing. They seem to have become a fad because house prices in a lot of places are currently out of reach of a lot of people. But isn't the part of the equation that's grown astronomically the cost of the land, not the cost of building the house?

I know that I couldn't afford a house where I am now (without a large down payment and mortgage repayments that were an unresponsible portion of my income) even if I just bought an empty plot of land.
If you don't want to live in a tiny house, then don't. It's good to have options for people who can't afford otherwise. Clearly the author of the article prefers living in Oakland (in a tiny house) to living somewhere cheaper in a larger house. The author explicitly states that they can't afford a larger apartment, but this is the tradeoff. There are tradeoffs in everything.
SaskTel is a bit... all over the place. Sometimes their plans are a great deal, sometimes not. When got my first smartphone, I had a $60CAD/mo unlimited everything plan. You get to stick with your plan until you do a subsidized phone upgrade, so I held onto that for a long long time. When I got a new phone, there were no unlimited plans for two upgrade cycles, and the high data (13GB was my last one) plans were expensive ($110/mo). My most recent upgrade they started offering a $90/mo unlimited plan again.

Edit: also, the three major carriers (Rogers, Telus, Bell) generally offer different packages in SK than they do for the rest of the country, to remain competitive with SaskTel. Another fun thing: while Rogers has some towers in the province, the LTE towers are all generally owned by SaskTel and there’s an agreement in place to let the other use them. In exchange, SaskTel customers get to use Bell and Telus towers in the rest of the country without incurring roaming charges. That used to not be the case and we’d be limited to 250MB of data out of province.

And on down - Apple only said that he couldn’t use his Amex because of the chargeback. Not that he couldn’t use his account.

Just for the record I found out why my it would not accept my updated AMEX information. Because of the charge back due to a dispute that I put through my AMEX card when the app company never got back to me on unauthorized charge AMEX was able to get me my credit but then Apple has the right according to them to no longer accept your AMEX card as form of payment. Well this is another reason why I hate APPLE period, I only own a iPad and will never own a iPhone. I told them they have lost me as a client. It's ridiculious that they are going to tell me that I cannot use my AMEX because of a $7.99 charge back. PLEASE don't insult my intelligence.. I am done.
The author's experience is interesting to read about, but their dwelling is not typical of ADUs. 240 sq. ft is on the extreme low end of ADU sizes. Googling yields a variety of different figures, but one blog[1] cites an average ADU size of 640 ft. As someone who currently lives in a <700 sq. ft apartment with another person and a dog, I can say that 640 ft would be very livable for one person.

Tiny homes sound terrible, but tiny home != ADU. There are a lot of more reasonably sized ADUs being built, and most of them should be much more pleasant to live in than this one.

Anyone can threaten a lawsuit.

Even if the threat's not credible, my understanding is the threatener can often force the victim to spend tens or hundreds of thousands in legal fees, not to mention inconveniences like having to spend hundreds of hours talking to lawyers, showing up and testifying in a faraway courtroom, etc.
I don't really think calling it "fascism" is especially accurate or productive. It stinks of "the other side" which is, frankly, much scarier, whether you think I'm referring to the far-right fringe or the propaganda operations that are working to deepen these divisions. See also e.g. the widely documented fake BLM pages on Facebook.

It's just a meme that spreads through its appeal to a certain type of person.
Deteriorating infrastructure that drains all the resources is not a political reason, but quite practical. Though what caused that in the first place could be political in the past. I.e. bad planning and poor management. Today it's not political. Someone just has to deal with huge existing mess.
I would love to see it even if only to see how that algorithm works.
Everyone is welcome to exercise their freedom of speech to say offensive things -- and no one is required to give them a platform to do so. Nothing new here.

Miss Manners was strongly of the opinion that you should call people what they wished to be called. In her era, the controversy was about Miss vs. Mrs. vs. Ms.
I would have assumed that they would have put the tiny houses on tiny plots of land, possibly existing land that has been subdivided.
Very useful, thanks
In 2018, my middle school-aged son and I stayed in a small apartment in Taipei while he attended a Mandarin language program at a local university over the summer. It was located on the roof of a 10 story building, and was about 250 square feet. I had to fold up my sofa bed every morning (he had the loft) to make space in the main room. There was no indoor furniture except the sofa, so when we ate inside he usually sat on the stairs while I used a small plastic folding chair I bought at a night market.

Dealing with garbage was a constant issue. It just seemed to build up quickly and there was no place to keep it in the apartment. In terms of our belongings, if we had anything more than what fit in our suitcases and day packs there would have been a major problem with storage as there was only some small closet space and cubbyholes underneath the stairs. I did almost no cooking because cheap food options were nearby but it occurred to me that if I had been frying stuff on the little range, the smells from cooking would have pervaded everything.

ETA: I realize that many people live in far more cramped conditions all over the world, often with many family members or shared accommodations, and generally have no options to move into bigger quarters. But in the United States at least, I see the "small house" movement romanticizing the idea of compact living quarters while glossing over the drawbacks.
Thanks, that was nice. I will think about it
It reminds me of the wave of ads and hype for open office environments where you actually want to save some cash and squeeze in more people in less space.

I guess if you lived in a country where there weren't legal limits on subdivision size that would make sense. Is that the case in the USA?

And remember that embedded energy is a thing. It's almost always more efficient to drive a single vehicle that meets all of your needs than to purchase a second one just for occasional use. For trucks specifically, rentals usually don't make sense.
Agreed, but at least Apple managers have great hair.
"…strange references to things like exploding knees…"

It is highly likely (I just checked, it is 100% likely: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Goon_Show#Monty_Python) that Monty Python were heavily influenced by The Goon Show, a BBC radio show released between 1951 and 1960. The quote from the article I called out would be completely at home in a Goon Show script.

For anyone who is a Monty Python fan it may be worth checking it out. I grew up listening to Goon Show re-runs on the radio or on CD and absolutely love them. Be warned though, as there is no visuals restricting the writers the shows are even more abstract than Python.

They are sometimes re-run on iPlayer, you can buy CDs (I think Amazon and eBay) and it is likely someone has "archived" the shows on the Internet somewhere.

Per mile subsidy for the NYC Subway is $0.35 per passenger mile. Backing out the revenues, the total cost is about $0.55
Your summary misses an important point: I don't think you can totally discount the effect of "white flight" and the late 20th century perception of cities as being crime ridden places to avoid. The article references this indirectly as growth of car-centric suburbs, shrinking urban population, and the city's 1970s fiscal problems (caused in part by the loss of tax base from suburbanization).
Alas, that's what my girlfriend said!
Yes, I agree that seemed odd to ignore. The theory that loss of experience results in increasing costs sounds true, but I see nothing to back it up or any thought of alternate explanations. Like models that include economic impact I would expect to skyrocket the costs (in a total sense) when building in areas that get built up over time.
This is a bit pessimistic — it especially ignores the role of highly-paid denial campaigns, which are far from inevitable – and in any case, any scenario where people are talking about it not happening is highly unlikely. We’ll be very lucky if the argument is that it wasn’t severe enough to warrant action because that’s basically halting along current levels.
tectonic is great! I find it works as a "daily driver" now, it's not just another experimental Rust project. it downloads everything as it's used, and automatically decides when to rerun compilation to deal with citations, float numbering, etc.

Rarely do I find I need to fall back on the standard programs.

I strongly recommend giving it a shot if you use LaTeX.
Reading the article makes it very clear that they are not using the word in that sense.
Supercharging fills in any gaps just fine. Of course you need to live near one.
Alcohol is Canada-wide too! Each province runs its own liquor distribution system. Up until this year, it was impossible for me, in SK, to order a case of wine from a vineyard in BC without having that wine go through SLGA (sask liquor and gaming). The feds seem to have dropped this requirement though [1] and now it’s up to the provinces to work out the rules for interprovincial liquor.

It’s an interesting tradeoff. In the one hand you have a single, low entropy, shared secret you give out to any stranger offering you an account. On the other hand you have only a single stranger to trust who can keep track of unique high entropy secrets for all those other strangers. But it’s a very well known entity that many malicious actors are circling attempting to find a weakness, and it’s not only keeping your shared secret(s) it’s also keeping a record of every service you have an account with.
The computer displays were showing films, yes. It is unclear to me that the wireframe animations were not computer generated, I always thought they were.

That is, for the wireframe animations when a ship is docking, I always thought that the animation was in fact a film of a series of discrete computer generated vector images, maybe displayed on a CRT and frame-by-frame stop-motion animated. It looks like that to me, and the tech was clearly available at the time.

Maybe they were drawn by hand and not CRT vector images, but if so they went out of their way to simulate it. I guess I wouldn't put it past Stanley.
The other part of the fad is the gorgeous photography of tiny houses and articles extolling the concept that was shared widely on social media. It romanticized the idea, and generally avoided the downsides.

I don't even think you have to add the qualifier "at least secular homeschooling". In the US, homeschoolers absolutely dominate their public school counterparts in educational outcomes. Of course, homeschooling parents are generally wealthier, but the statement holds true even when you control for income level and racial demographics. When tested, the average homeschooler ends up in the ~80% percentile compared to the general population [1].

Honestly, the statistics here are so stark that it shows something is deeply wrong with the US public school system. Personally, it always felt like a busy-work day-care when I went.

EFF is special in that is completely disregards legitimate use cases to access information.

I thought civil liberties was about fine tuning the scope of the government's power from sweeping in innocent citizens. EFF doesn't attempt to suggest a statute to do a better job in these areas. It lumps together a complicated subject.

They appear to believe any reason the government has to want to access E2E communication is illegitimate.

> Facebook and others would face immense pressure to also provide them to authoritarian regimes, who might seek to spy on dissidents in the name of combatting terrorism or civil unrest, for example.

It's blocked in China. Russians use VK.

> Many people—including journalists, human rights activists, and those at risk of abuse by intimate partners—use encryption to stay safe in the physical world as well as the online one.

If someone's safety was at risk, why would they be on Facebook at all though.

They sell their data in bulk. Maybe what you really want is a GDPR-like assurance as a consumer.

> “enable law enforcement to obtain lawful access to content in a readable and usable format.”

It's public information this is already done by large companies.

Why not make this into a conversation about who can access the data, for what reasons, and what threshhold of proof is needed to minimize the sweep?

> law enforcement and national security agencies in these three countries are asking for nothing less than access to every conversation that crosses every digital device.

Law enforcement and national security are not the same thing.

They're exacerbated by places like EFF that blur them together to get donations and keep laypeople running in circles.

EFF is supposed to be staffed with lawyers. The least it could do is help the public understand the intricacies.

Unless there is some provision for tiny lots, I really don't get the desire. Even then, many of these tiny houses, particularly anything that can be hauled behind a truck, is astonishingly bad. A 400 - 700 sq. ft modular house would be a better idea.

On a side note, there are quite a lot of stories from places like Hong Kong on how to maximize space in their small apartments that could be applied to tiny homes to make them more livable. I've watched a lot of those shows on HGTV and have not seen any of those designs applied. A youtube channel called Living Big In A Tiny House https://www.youtube.com/user/livingbigtinyhouse has some interesting designs with some space saving techniques.
Would love to see it. Please reach out to me if you do open source it.
Language has evolved to be efficient though. If you try to send more information than a channel can handle (ie violate Shannon’s limit) you will not send the message across. Life is noisy. Just because language is inefficient in a quiet room doesn’t mean it isn’t useful to be able to communicate on a windy day. It’s possible that with the emergence of text based conversations and more quiet rooms that language is evolving to be less felt tolerant and more (what you would call) “efficient”.
I know this is a low-substance observation that lots of people are thinking already but why the fuck would you buy a $2MM car?

Woooosh.

Did you hear that?

That was the sound of the point of the article going right over your head.

The point is that the system as it exists now is broken; the author is pointing out the many absurdities. Tiny homes are a stopgap; a shitty patch on a broken single family home system.

We need mid-rises, hi-rise condos, and mixed use zoning to be implemented literally by force in the Bay Area at this point. It’s an untenable situation.
I adopted a very similar perspective after years of having a lot of manager churn. I used to get so frustrated that my job was unnecessarily difficult because of them. Now it's become, "this is an opportunity to learn new ways to communicate with a manager who thinks it's 1985." So instead of being frustrated at the statement that my TypeScript and the other team's C needs to use the same headers, I focused on how to communicate, in an economy of words, why this API deviation may be a process problem, not a technical one. And in the years since that, I've slowly gotten better (and regressed at times) focusing on what I can control.
So, why do we need yet another language to reap hot-reloading, instead of adding it to say Rust, Zig or (blow me) Jai? Is there something about those languages that complicates hot-reloading?
The main problem here seems to be that the author was working from home. A tiny house is really only good for washing, sleeping and lounging.
The solution is quite simple: If you have money to buy a 3m car you can just buy another one(i.e newer model)
That would be a problem. There seems to be a lack of tiny plots to go with tiny houses. I get the feeling cities are about as happy with any concept of tiny plots as they are of trailer parks.
Hear me out: It may be possible to stack houses on top of each other in layers.
Generally, in the US, tiny homes are below legal minimum sizes for permanent homes. So, most are built as trailers, even if installed permanently.

Similarly, most towns and counties are subdivided such that tiny plots aren’t available.

There is a growing movement to allow ADUs in urban spaces, but it’s far from universal. If memory serves, Arlington VA (next to DC) allows an ADU within the main house (converted basement) with some fairly strict limits. No ADU in the back yard.

Apologies if I was unclear, I did not mean to imply that opportunities would stop coming up, I only meant to draw attention to the fact that within the industry there would be fewer jobs.

(Ultimately this is a very good thing, we can't get much done if 9/10 people are dedicated to farming. In 30 years I'm sure we'll look back and say the same about manufacturing.)

But this is why it's important:

Economic theory says that workers are all fungible and will re-skill into these new jobs, while data show that the new jobs are taken by other people in other places: the old workers seem to drop out of the workforce [1], get on disability [2], and/or die from opiate overdoses [3].

I do agree that the inequality is a big issue and it's doubly edged: less consumer spending power means the market doesn't bother serving those without wealth, and automation itself tends to concentrate wealth into few large players.
This explains something I ran into recently. I stick with older versions of macOS for a variety of reasons, and El Capitan cannot rename or delete a file that has a NUL character in its name. Earlier versions of macOS could do so. This implies they rewrote the unlink function and made a rookie C programmer mistake in the process. Why rewrite unlink? The mind boggles.
