> Its actually a regulation problem.

This response is a common issue we run into when discussing policy. When people do not understand that policy is the absolute bedrock foundation for any and all subsequent law or regulation, they tend to not be able to visualize how wide of a net “policy” is and what falls underneath it.

Example:

Policy simplified: No more than X number of multi-family homes allowed.

Regulations and zoning laws are second: We only have room for X, so we can have no more than X number of multi family homes in Y sq miles.

As you can see, a decision does not start as a law nor regulation, it is broad policy.

So with your claim that it’s a regulation issue, how would changing the inferior part of the policy ensure it promotes change from the bottom-up? It will not change the issues that are created as a result of the original base policy (i.e. X number of MFHs allowed).

All regulations and laws must have a basis which can help explain the what, how, and why of implementation to ensure it falls within the boundaries of the initial policy decision.

It's often not members of these groups, but "allies" acting "on their behalf" (and likely hurting the cause because the extremist and witch-hunting behavior gets associated with these groups).

I plan to use potion, the VM and compiler for a perl fork, codename p2.
perl5 and perl6, in spirit of parrot, just 40x faster, and better than the ongoing perl on JVM plans.
See https://github.com/perl11/potion/blob/p2/README.p2

So naturally I'm going to enhance potion also.
New are libpotion.so, improved make times, seperated config and
dist/install targets via config.inc, dist.mak.
I didn't like that every make probed and shelled too much. Now it only does when needed.

I fixed load readline (the wrong path),
and changed the LOADER_PATH to (lib, PREFIX/lib/potion, .)
. at first is a security risc.
added support native extensions: darwin .dylib vs .bundle.
With load .pnb is favored over .pn.
I also added libdisasm support for nicer jit debugging, and improved the parser interface for multiple language support.

I'll add in the next months dlcall (FFI), exception handling, arbitrary precision math and a lot of libraries to support perl5 and nqp, the perl6 bootstrapper.

I'll probably come up with a fast intermediate language to write those libraries, and I'm not sure if it will be potion (the language) or a small fast subset of perl.
> We made a decision to act quickly, which I personally approved, but in doing so skipped several critical parts of the process.

Okay, got it. Acting in haste can lead you to make critical errors of judgment. Smart to slow down so you don't make the same mistake again.

> On Monday, October 7, we’ll be sharing a second draft of an update to our Code of Conduct with all moderators for feedback.

Good call. Get feedback on the revised plan from the moderators to whom it will apply. Smart move.

> On Thursday, October 10, the update to the Code of Conduct will be announced publicly.

Wait, what?

You just said that you need to slow things down because you acted too quickly the last time and ended up screwing things up and causing a lot of pain, which is the reason you're apologizing in the first place.

And now the timeline between "solicit feedback" and "release document publicly" is three days?

How in the world are you going to be able to thoughtfully incorporate any feedback other than typo corrections and still meet this deadline?

There is no reason to solicit feedback unless you actually plan to listen to it and to be prepared for that feedback to say that the draft still needs work. But this timeline does not allow enough time for that to happen.
There's no shortage of demand for apartments. There's a shortage of supply of apartments.

The main reason people want a home is to have a safe place to sleep and live. That by far trumps the concerns you listed.
Taxing is the exact thing that will help fix this.

There wouldn't be any political opposition to multi-family dwellings if it wasn't so profitable to hog land.

Land suitable for high rise dwellings should have a heavy ongoing land tax applied so that owners actively want to get rid of it or redevelop it with more dwellings to spread the tax burden.

Also by neighbors. I don't think it's unreasonable for neighborhoods to have a say in what zoning exist
Depends on where you are in the country, actually. In suburban areas of the midwest, the plot of land with a 3000 sqft house is much cheaper than the actual house.

I don't think tiny house is black-and-white 0% about affordability and 100% about aesthetics. To me it's basically a way for people who perceive themselves as middle class to live cheaply in housing that is a step above trailers, and it's caused by the very high rents in certain urban areas like Toronto, Seattle, and the bay area. You probably don't see a lot of millenials living in tiny houses in Des Moines, Iowa or Cincinnati, Ohio.

Also, not sure how familiar you are with the bay area housing issue, but a lot of it is due to lack of supply + zoning. The state of california recently passed legislation allowing some zoning requirements to be circumvented allowing people to build ADUs - accessory dwelling units - in their backyards, which constitute the vast majority of tiny houses in the bay area (again partly due to zoning... there are very few places in commuting distance of the jobs centers where you would be allowed to build just a tiny house, or a collection of tiny houses, on a plot of land).

Around here tiny houses are priced similarly to similar-sized studios, with some benefits and drawbacks of living in an ADU compared to a studio (detached, usually in quieter residentail areas, less amenities than an apartment building might have, often cheaper). Affordability is a huge part of why people live in ADUs over here

That’s what surprises me about this. I see the StackExchange sites as a place where people help each other make their software a little less crappy. In all my years using it, I don’t think I’ve ever used a third person pronoun (gendered or not) for another user. I don’t think anybody has used any pronoun except “you” to refer to me either. Usually if I’m referenced at all it’s “@smudgy’s answer is wrong because x,y and z”. How often can pronouns come up?
Same, but I think saying these arguments "oppose yours" is a bit too flattering to the arguments. They aren't really legitimate enough to rise to the level of opposing a reasoned view. But I understand what you mean.

Let's just recognize that they are ill-founded arguments coming from someone who has not grasped the basic points of the article, or the basic issues of what is being discussed.
> City councils, local govts create this problem with restrictions on buildings and what type of things can go into their city.

Good luck fighting the land owners. NIMBY is more organized and has huge political will.

I honestly don't know what can be done and worry this will always be a problem.
but what value is that perspective? how do i use this to actually fit a model?
I was so sad when I found out my trusty 17" 2010 MBP would not be supported by Mojave.

It's totally serviceable under El Capitan.

It's sluggish with supported versions, though. As a CI box for PhotoStructure, tests take literally 2x longer under Sierra and High Sierra than they do under El Capitan.
The other point I would add to what you wrote is that five to ten years ago, we were all going crazy watching new JS frameworks come out every other week, like Ember and Knockout (to say nothing of the Grunt vs. Webpack war). It was impossible to keep up with everything going on in JS. AMD → Require → Import. Callbacks → Promises → Async. There were a ton of language evolution changes going on.

Today, things are much more stable. The big choice is React or Not React, and then Not React breaks down into the clones (Preact) and improvements (Vue, Svelte) over standard React. It's not the Wild West anymore. Similar concepts apply everywhere, and you're not taking the same kind of gamble by using a particular component framework that you were back then. The only old browser we still care about is IE11, and that's on a death clock. We're very close to entering the module JS Promise land. If web components ever gets sorted out, we'll even have compatibility of the different frameworks. It's becoming saner.

Curious why all the hidden fields though? Seems like an anti-pattern. I haven't used a hidden field in years.

I mean props if using server passed data would easily pass the data to your vue context.

I don't even use <form> tags anymore. just bind everything to a json object and transform the data as needed if combining stuff then send it off to the api on-click. Saves some work because I don't have to use the prevent tag in the form element or worry about the submit button binding.

I just add an @click to a normal button element and use axios w/ some modifications to enable our auth scheme. (Headers and what not).

The answer by Squeamish Ossifrage is interesting because they try to call out SO on a variety of stuff that sounds like what any other large tech company tries to do, with the slow and steady tactics of trying to gain more control or power and encroaching on user rights. [0]

It's also interesting to ponder if the StackOverflow community format is subjecting them to more calls of transparency than other sites might get.

240 square feet is just too small. America is a rich country with plenty of land, but without rational housing policies you wind up with insanity like this. Great parking, though.
opening up for one could subject them to opening up for everybody would be an easy one

Happens all the time. You put a half-assed attempt into finding a buyer and then go party in Ibiza in either scenario.

Its the people not making money that imagine their one single idea in life is going to strike it big and they'll get married to it.

The rest of us just make money, with the comfort that we now have enough money, or can make more with one of our monthly ideas, or can attract capital due to prior success or having made a profit for shareholders in the prior venture.
This only works with certain type of manager.

If you have a sociopath and manipulative superior with a lot of power, talking won't do much.

There are fairly simple ways to noise cancel very well with wood structures, the problem is nobody wants to pay to do it. Double drywalled walls, internally separated walls, internal insulation, better doors and windows,etc. And it usually is still cheaper than stonework, but it also still increases construction costs. People always, always, ALWAYS, try to skimp on construction costs, even when they are already getting a fantastic deal or something far superior is only like a few cents more. People will take a 50% reduction in construction quality, longevity, and finish if it will save them 10%. Even if it ultimately only accounts for a few months worth of profit, even if it will ultimately cost them more in maintenance, even if it makes energy costs twice as high.
Unless I'm calculating wrong these apartments all sounds huge. Not trying to compete but I live in an apartment in Tokyo with less than 10 square meters and a futon in the loft - I'd happily trade for any of those.
This seems like the victim from the article (it’s not my fault, it’s factors beyond my control).
There is a great book from 1991 called "Programming as if People Mattered." What I took from it is that UI programming has always been a mess compared to backend, in part because the domain about people, which is just an intrinsically more complicated thing to deal with. Knuth created the Knuth shuffle and now no one needs to do that again. But every UI has to recreate what Fitt's Law means for their paradigm. It's a different kind of thing.
I get this point. But coupled with lack of expertise & experience, lack of QA and lack of dependency tree (what feature is used where), the result can be amateurish at best and catastrophic at worst. In the case of DU, it was more the latter.

Again, the cynic in me can't accept the "cheaper" argument. Apple has lack of funds to properly hire people who are not afraid to go into complex existing code? I get this argument in a start-up environment, but won't accept it in the case of the largest tech company in the world. This is just bad management.
Since lots of comments had an adverse reaction to this use of the word "player", we replaced it above with "openness", which is the word the article uses to describe a "player".

Hopefully that will help the thread focus on the article now.
I fixed my wording relating to the Register article; it's getting a little confusing to try and track all the different comment threads, edits, and updates.

As for the rest of your comment, that seems to contradict claims made by others, including other moderators, but alright. Even granting it to be 100% true, that suggests as most that she should have resigned (or been removed) this week instead of a week and a half ago, right?
A grovelling apology is certainly an apology, even if sometimes unseemly and issued in desperation rather than (or in addition to) regret.

But sure, there might be better ways to do it.
I have used ride-share services many times in a wide range of different cities, and I simply don't believe your claim of 20 - 40% problems. I suspect you're exaggerating the numbers to try to make a point.
There’s probably a reason for Blade’s 25 pound weight limit. Well move fast and all that.
> 1. Completion that blocks the shell, by doing a lookup across a network (e.g. to complete a remote path). Can hang for several seconds.

I've had this happen to me. Would be nice if it could be interrupted with Ctrl-C. My workaround has been to wrap the argument that's triggering that in quotes (when redoing the command in another terminal).

> 2. Completion that gives me a misleading/incorrect view of the filesystem, by "intelligently" filtering which files/filetypes it will let me complete. For example, if I have foo.mp3 and foo.txt, and a media-player command tab-completes and only "sees" the mp3, but I actually wanted to know that the .txt was there as well (and in some cases, open it with the media player!)

Maybe a keybinding can be added to enable/disable "smart" completion (leaving only simple filepath completion). Seems like it should be a relatively quick configuration fix.

My workaround for this, for when I want simple filepath completion, has been to prefix the command with `echo`. With vi keybindings it's just `<Esc>Iecho <Esc>A` (it's faster if you make your CapsLock an Esc); with emacs keybindings it's `<Ctrl-A>echo <Ctrl-E>`. Afterwards, to delete the `echo`, it's `<Esc>^dwA` with vi keybindings and `<Ctrl-A><Alt-D><Ctrl-D><Ctrl-E>` with emacs keybindings.

> 3. When the completion has a wrong view of the options provided by a program (e.g. completion is not aware of some useful options). Instead of looking at the man-page, I've been tricked by a bad completion-set.

Maybe the list of options could be parsed out of manpages and --help output. Then, it would coincide.
From a quick glance, this and most software doing “constraint programming” deal with discrete problems. Not saying those are useless for mechanical modeling or 3D animation, but those areas typically deal with continuous constraints which require different solvers. My experience in this is limited to a single class in CP 3 years ago so take this with a grain of salt!!
I agree with you, but I don't understand so much disdain for tiny houses. I spent a few months basically living in capsule hotel in Japan and it was great time, actually.

When I was a kid my parents had a Westfali and we'd take extended road trips. That was also great.

If you don't like it, just don't do it.
Less time and money spent in legal battles (that can get especially tricky in international cases) over individual surveillance requests if Facebook can just throw their hands up saying "It is not within our ability to comply".

It would also let them avoid inevitable articles such as "Facebook helps Beijing/Erdogan/Putin spy on protesters". I'm sure an executive could argue those drive away some users.
Most of those rules seem pretty reasonable, tbh. Can you imagine an 8 bedroom house with only one bathroom?

The bigger problems I think have to do with building height restrictions and anything else that explicitly restricts the density of a city.
Why do you comment out chunks of code? Aren't you using Git? :-/
> the FAR (parking ratio) in most areas is 1.0 parking spots per room

FAR is the ratio of floor area to lot area; it's not about parking: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floor_area_ratio

Parking minimums are certainly a problem, though, especially when they limit dense construction in places with excellent public transit.
Well, that's not entirely true either.

You can feed a family of 4 on $60/week in the USA. Especially if you buy staples and raw ingredients and cook everything from scratch.

Rice, flour, beans, lentils, etc should be the bulk of your staples. They are also dirt cheap. Remainder of the money can be used on fresh vegetables.

I live in MA. This is for 2 adults, 1 4-year-old, 1 almost 2-year-old. I should mention, this price does not include the cost of lunches (The school provides lunch, my wife buys lunch at work, and I usually snack throughout the day instead of eating lunch). Next, I don't buy processed or pre-made foods. So I'll snack on nuts instead of chips. It started as a health thing (they're always filled with sugar, and stuff) but i've found it's also saves a bunch of money. I make my own stocks, and sauces. I cook a lot of chicken, and usually I'll buy bone-in thighs. It started as a flavor thing (I find breast meat flavorless) but it's super cost effective. A family pack costs $.99 a pound, so for less than $5 I can get 2 meals worth of chicken, some bones for stock, and some fat for schmaltz. The rest of the savings come from efficiency. My program groups like ingredients, so I have less waste. A cart full of fresh vegetables, some dairy products, a couple family sized proteins, the occasional staple, and a few bonus treats for the kids is super cheap.

My bill also doesn't include alcohol. I've given up drinking mostly to boost my night-time productivity, but I'll buy wine in bulk which I mostly use for cooking, though I might have a glass with dinner.
I don't believe in ESP, but I know others that do. I have pointed out to some friends that Las Vegas wouldn't exist as it does if there were people that really had ESP. They could use telekinesis to control the outcome of games or they could use clairvoyance and precognition to predict what was going to happen or they could use telepathy to read others cards. If ESP existed in a group of people I believe that many would reside in Vegas living off their abilities and not performing tricks for gulible researchers.

The fact that Postle doesn't cash in on this remarkable ability by playing in higher stake games makes his performance suspicious to me just as people that claim ESP that don't bother to take the casinos for millions makes he skeptical of their claims.
Its good for personal use, but enterprise features are weak/missing and the layout isnt very enterprise ready. I tried their "Organizations" feature out to see if I could deploy it at work instead of teampass, and it wasn't comparable. They are still fixing and developing, so it might be enterprise ready someday. It really is a nice with all the addons.

I use the bitwardern docker version for people to use, I have it installed, but for my own use, sticking with keepass.
