My issue with bash completion is that it requires a completion script (i.e executing `complete`) for each command you want it to complete. The shell cannot automatically deduce appropriate completions when possible.

This problem is not specific to bash. Fish and other shells can't automatically complete commands either. There is simply no standard way to detect what type of auto-completion a command supports.

I know this comment is a not about the OP, but I've wasted so much time dealing with this that I feel compelled to post this here. I wish shell developers would form some sort of consortium (like XDG) where they can agree on standard solutions to issues like this. No one benefits from having developers waste time manually writing and testing completion scripts for each project (times the number of shells they want to support).

Side note: I remember that there was a project that modified bash internals to detect automatic completion support. It did this by scanning for the presence of a magic string in the first N bytes of a file (or in some ELF section of a binary). If that magic string was present, bash would automatically generate a completion set by passing `--_complete` to the command. I think this is a simple and elegant solution to this problem and one I hope shell developers would consider.
It may be physically possible, but if you’re in places likes the sf Bay Area, it’s probably not legally possible in most places.
Do you remember which one? Can't seem to find it here:

They all acknowledge that they made mistakes, name those mistakes reasonably accurately, take personal responsibility for those mistakes and apologize for the harm those mistakes caused.

What else were you looking to see? I would have liked to see more of an explanation of why these mistakes were made, but this is a far better apology than the last one.

Of course, an apology is just words and should be taken with a grain of salt until actions are taken to back up those words. It seems to me that they could easily have reached out to Monica BEFORE posting a public apology.

We will see how they handle feedback on the new CoC and what other actions they will take to restore trust.

>Are people so psychologically addicted to their electronics that they'd be willing to skirt jail time?

No, it's sort of the opposite. If driving were more difficult, or at least more engaging, people wouldn't feel boredom and the need to multitask.

Since auto pilot type safety features are especially bad at pedestrian detection, expect this to only get worse as "safety features" improve and result in less engaged driving.
Is it really that much better than a Ferrari F8 with bearer bonds duct taped to the hood?
100% that the “pintrest-izaton” of Tiny Homes contributed to the rad.

They’re also photographed as cabins in lush environments - not wedges behind an Eichler off University Ave in Palo Alto.
Tiny houses in and of themselves are fine if that's what you're into.

The problem is that they seem to be used as a way to avoid discussing the fact that land, not buildings, are what is causing all the housing affordability issues.

We desperately need to ramp up taxes on land in order to reduce inequality and speculation, and encourage density.

Nobody made land, so nobody deserves the right to use it to exploit other people.

Unfortunately, hundreds of years of political supremacy by landed gentry is largely still in place and hard to dismantle.
Obamacare also provides subsidies. The point is that the provision and insurance in Netherlands is done with private organizations, not the government directly.
Do you have evidence to show that the problem is Boring Company's unwillingness rather than hesitance by cities (perhaps under pressure from Boring Company's more established competitors) to bring in a relatively inexperienced partner for a major project like a new subway line?
WHAT! Get out of here. That sounds like Soviet style communist housing!

Everyone wants a front yard with a white picket fence to show off to their neighbors, no?
For those who consider it not a significant sum of money, why not? Seems like fun.
I heard they already started doing this in Japan!

Jokes aside, it’s interesting that the article doesn’t mention city zoning rules - aren’t those the main cause of such shortage?
I took a latin class in uni.

I think it did help a bit because it made me think about the syntactic structure intellectually, where my native tounge the syntax comes intuitively.

Not saying it magically made me a super programmer or anything, but i feel like it certainly didnt hurt my programming skill.
If you have $100M the car is still a lower fraction of your net worth than for most people. Also I would consider a car like that to be more like a piece of art, something you have because it's nice. Like a mansion. Nobody needs a mansion.

Also, there are diminishing returns to having a high net worth, i.e. every successive 2x increment matters less. No surprise there are goods on the market that are trying to counter this effect.

And I'm not even sure all of this is "evil". Italy wouldn't look anywhere near this nice if the rich people of the past hadn't splurged big on status symbols. Even in the United States where philanthropy is included in the portfolio of status symbols (or perhaps is even the major status symbol) you can see the positive effects. What Rockefeller did with much of his money was good and useful.
I have not used paprika myself so unfortunately I cannot comment. But if there are any features that you would like me to focus on for the next updates of feastgenius let me know and I will work them in.
These tradeoffs aren't laws of nature and they can be changed. Discussing them, the economic and social forces behind them, and what remedies might exist is reasonable and worthwhile.

Challenges in Distributed Machine Learning
I ended up building my own solution to this problem too (though mine is not open to public)

Me too, although I'm solving a different problem: organization. I'm not so concerned with cost or nutritional value. In the end I went with a somewhat simpler route: LaTeX (well xelatex). I built a couple document classes, one creates a letter sized document and one creates a 4x6 index card sized document. I used the former to concatenate all the recipes into a master PDF as well. This "master" PDF contains the recipes as well as indexes (by author, by ingredient).

I've tried tablets in the kitchen, but ultimately for me the most convenient thing was to just tape a printout onto a cabinet door and go from there.

YMMV.
There are many three letter words that begin with A, followed by 3 letter words that begin with Y, followed by 4 letter words with a K in them. Here are some examples.

All you skim.
And you skip.
Ate yak skat.
Add yak skin.

If you're telling me I can randomly hide 2/3rds of characters in any English sentence and you can still derive the meaning, I'm going to need a citation beyond "information theory" in general.

But this is tangential to the point. I'm saying the context is preserved with compression, hence the meaning is preserved. I'm saying we can compress the amount of letters used and still get the same meaning.
I don't know, seems pretty apology-y. I'm not familiar with what happened, but here he repeatedly stated "I am responsible for that".
To (most) people commenting and reading this, the question 'why would you pay that much money for a car' is just about context.

To much of non-first world countries, buying an iPhone Pro Max would evoke the same question. That amount of money symbolises food for a long period of time.

Unfortunately your context shifts out a lot. It becomes normalised to buy an iPhone. It becomes normalised to pay a lot of money to buy a house, and if you're lucky enough to build wealth the normality bar just keeps being raised.

And then, poof, you just bought a supercar. Or a Patek Philippe. Or whatever other expensive thing that has no real purpose beyond it's a thing that you like.

I feel the same way with private jets. But a private jet was a completely trivial sum of money for me, maybe I would. Hard to say.
Without feedback from the submission process, its not usually worth testing. Automatic filters can eliminate you with no feedback, you may never know that your resume has been digitally assessed.
I think this is completely a function if multiple things including how much money you can spend on housing, how much stuff you own, your lifestyle (do you entertain, do you have equipment like a bike or kayak, etc), how clean/organized you are, how large you are, are you single, do you have pets, and how well the space is designed.

Tiny houses aren't for everybody, but they definitely meet the needs of a group of people. For instance myself, I live alone, have no pets, don't entertain parties, am really organized, and don't own a lot of stuff so a tiny home is completely within my comfort. Not to mention that if I lived in a normal sized apartment then it would look like I'm either in the process of moving in or moving out due to how little stuff I own. Even if the price per square foot increases, I simply don't need the extra space so why pay for it. It's like saying I should get a large pack of eggs for a better deal, even though I only need a small pack because the rest will go bad before I eat them. It just don't make sense in my situation, as well it's the case for many others.

Given that, I could not live in many tiny homes advertised on TV/instagram/YouTube, they're simply inefficient in terms of lifestyle. They've turned it into a competition for who can live in the smallest place possible which is plain stupid and you end up with a bunch of idiots designs that require you to somehow pack up your bed every day, or have no kitchen countertop, or no table. These aren't what I would consider normal tiny homes, they're on the extreme end of the spectrum.

You don't need to give up a normal lifestyle to have a "tiny home", only the people that want to "show off" do. These are the same type of people as those hipsters that carry around a typewriter to "show off" how hipster they are.
Still, there's probably a way of phrasing it that doesn't make it sound (to those not in the know) like Lua is slow.
This seems a lot like the concept of "Locus of Control": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locus_of_control
Well I saw a talk by a designer woman who put out the massive oversized text wrapped across mall walls at escalator junctions and whatever else in the 80s.

She described her most productive work in life as being a form of "serious play". That has stuck with me and now you're saying something similar too.
I attempted Uber, Juno, and Lyft, from JFK to midtown, on Saturday, around 9 PM.

Didn’t mind any of the prices offered, ranging from $60 (Lyft) to $160 (Uber XL). Some had waits of 15 mins plus, some couldn’t get the pick-up pin to stick where I was, Uber went into beach-ball spinner mode, and wouldn’t match to a driver.

Fed up with all the tech fail, I walked to cab line, no wait, $55 flat fee to midtown.
I understand the joke, but let's take it seriously.

What are the main reasons people want houses and how can we preserve them when stacking?

* Noise. If you want to create the house experience you need to be able to jump and stomp the floor in the middle of the night without bothering anyone. Need thick and advanced floors, walls and front doors (easy to forget the last).

* Garden. Probably would need artifical light, but might be possible.

* BBQ in the garden. Maybe not impossible but might take some engineering to get the smoke out.

* Parking. Just need to ensure it exists plentifully.

* Multiple floors. Idk if people care too much for this, but easy to handle if so.
I think this is a story that's supposed to make the reader feel bad for you, and it does, but not because someone was mean to you.

I feel bad for you because you couldn't handle the inanity of the Internet. You're going to need thicker skin if you want to find success, because people will always cut you down, doubly so if you're on the right track.
MADD only worked in the sense that it made some mothers feel somewhat absolved of whatever guilt they felt for losing a child. Their statistical claims are quite ridiculous, though.

Edit: Claiming credit moreso than flawed statistics, although both are highly questionable.
Also Spike Milligan's follow up late 60's TV series, Q5, which ran yearly until Q9. It's very Pythonesque, but is much more hit or miss.

I didn't call it evil. I mean to say it's baffling. A mansion makes sense! I don't want one but see the appeal: it's extremely durable, can be handed down for generations, can potentially improve day-to-day quality of life in a number of ways. I literally don't see what a $2MM car gets you than a $500k car doesn't.

> Don't see any relation between religious philosophy and housing issue.

Most of the historical social movements in the west came out of the Christian tradition, whilst the eastern tradition of Karma/Dharma would say leave it, it's the wheel of life or some such.
I heard a story recently about that being exploited as an attack.

Attackers knew some site used some DB that used a specific hash and items that hash to the same value end up in a linked list. So, the submitted a ton of user data that all hashed to the same value then DOS’d with requests that ran through the whole linked list every time.
I would imagine if you allowed tiny subdivisions you'd end up with slums, not hipsters instagramming their tiny houses.
UMAP is basically one of the most innovative things I've ever seen. It's highly used in NLP with extremely good results
I have lived in a 200 sqft room in college (with another person!) and it would have been tight, but pretty decently livable for a single person. You have room for a bed, desk+chair, nightstand, TV + couch but not much else. I don't believe the photo in the article shows as much of the place as it could (it's also taken with a fisheye lense to distort the size).

Also, living in an apartment with roommates is probably cheaper than living in an ADU by yourself (depending on area); in my area it is about 20% cheaper. You can end up with a larger shared area with a normal sized kitchen and living room. Living in an ADU is really paying a premium for privacy and other benefits of living by yourself.
Article's conclusions are dubious.

> We need ... different housing tech that can lower construction costs

If you're paying ~$1,600 a month for a shoebox apartment, it's not because you need construction technology. It is a housing-policy problem.
If you have disposable 250k, spending $50k on a car is pretty normal.
If you have disposable $100m, spending $2m on a car may not seem that big to the buyer either.
If you're going to invent an arbitrary term for workplace assertiveness, maybe don't make it homonymous with a term for an aggressively flirtatious man.

Everything they have publicly bid for has been about deploying their Loop transit system. They have not bid on any contracts or subcontracts for tunneling operations, so far as I can find, and their FAQ page spends more time discussing the Loop system than it does their tunneling technology.
I don't know if lying to the commenter is in his best interest.

One who has obtained a certificate is "certified", not "certificated" in layperson English. It's stilted English to say "certificated", even if technically correct.

Obviously it's not reasonable to trust/mistrust someone who makes this mistake, but the nugget to pull from this is that "certified" has a meaning and use in English.
Thank you. I try sometimes. ;)
I think this is a factor that is often neglected or not even mentioned is articles espousing 'tiny homes'. The cooking. Even in our fairly large home, if I cook something even vaguely aromatic, the smell permeates through most of the house.

Maybe this is an indictment of the 'takeaway generation' that seems the norm in places like the US, where it is often cheaper and more convenient to order take out, rather than cook from scratch?
The other side in this case isn’t the far right. The other side are just ordinary people who don’t want to be called names for forgetting to use the right pronoun or even not using a pronoun at all.

I'm in favor of people being able to build tiny houses. Especially, a situation any reasonably safe structure that can built would be legal to build is desirable - IE, toss zoning ordinances in the fire.

But I don't think a tiny shack, uh, house, should be called a "good option". It's an adequate option under limited circumstances. The problem is calling it a good option makes "we spent five years fighting for the right to our tiny shack" sound like a reasonable thing rather than one more absurd winkle in the development of this country's housing situation.
Fun aside, coworker recently had a fun issue where the database server would halt due to running out of disk space... except the disk had over 100 GB left.

Turns out NTFS has a maximum number of file fragments a file can have, and if it exceeds that it will refuse to grow the file (for obvious reasons).

Hardly everyday stuff though.
Cool project, I love that you can search by macros. A few points:

1. Clipping recipes from different websites can be quite challenging because of the varying html structures. I recently tackled this problem and I'm curious what method you used to find recipe content within an html page? I ended up checking to see if the website followed a Recipe schema [1] and if not use a mix of heuristics to try identifying if a line of text was an ingredient. I also was considering using machine learning in there, but couldn't figure out a good way to incorporate it.

2. Is there a reason you don't include the instructions of the recipe on your website?

Awesome to see some fresh sites in this space. I built Saffron [2] which is focused on organizing your recipes into digital cookbooks.

My highrise building apparently has a cab light that can be requested to be turned on. I saw someone use it once, it didn't seem like they waited very long for a cab to pull up to the front door.
In Toronto 500k buys you 500 sq/ft. There are condos being built that are as small as 385 sq/ft. Developers are just packing in units and making them smaller and smaller and charging a huge premium if you want a larger unit. The buildings are built like shit and the maintenance fees are outrageous. I can't imagine how much worse it's going to get as time goes on and people become more desperate trying to find somewhere to live or something to buy.
>It seems fairly obvious that any new automated technology removes more jobs than it creates.

Widget A has $10 labor costs and $10 material costs.
Widget B has $2 robot costs (=robot engineers labor) and $10 material costs.

My budget is $200. When I buy 10 Widget B I will have $80 remaining that I can spend on something else which will pay someone else's salary and therefore create at least as many jobs as were destroyed by the robot.
But doesn't that go for anything? Take android where you need to account not only for all the cases of versions but also for every differentiated version from every brand and device, or if you build for things like silverlight which gets killed with no replacement. There are always things changing and unless you are on the same path as the vendor you're gonna get screwed. It's always been like that.
An Algorithmic Approach to Alienation
Automation creating a net increase in opportunity means that generally, people who lost from the industry they work in being automated will see that more than made up for by what they gain when other industries are automated.

Amazon's automated deployment of web servers eliminated jobs in server hosting companies that set up dedicated servers for people but generated massively more opportunities by making it much cheaper, in time and money, for people at large to deploy their own server.

The proliferation of web based businesses in turn expands new classes of occupations that provide people with more niche services that enhance their quality of life.
My cynical self noticed that there are a lot of "apologize" and "sorry" in this update, yet I believe this is a first good step.

However, the update accumulated to the 'fix' being SO will release an updated CoC on Oct 7/10/11 with inputs from all mods, and an updated mod firing process. These are absolutely essential, no doubt, but incomplete.

What is missing, in my opinion, is the update still did not address how the original conflict came to the firing of a respected member. The most sincere way to apologize would be to use this failure of process as an example, to showcase how SO erred and how SO intends to change. Finally, a separate, public apology to the fired mod, with specific example of how SO mishandled each step, is crucial in regaining the trust.

EDIT: After giving some thoughts, I realize that SO is apologizing, not for wrongful termination, but for not privately firing the mod with due process. In SO's management eyes, the firing is still justified. Fine. Explain to us, with examples, how the firing is justified, and how pronoun usage would re-conciliate with moderators with religion restrictions.
Even the cafes are cheaper, Paris, nice, Lyon, where do you eat such expensive food? Maybe Geneva or Lausanne, but that isn’t France.

It’s like Tokyo, expensive place to live, but good food is cheap.
I don’t think folks in the US romanticize small living quarters, as noted above, but I think folks here romanticize that correlate with small living quarters (real or imagined):

The memory of being young, strapped for cash, but in college and having fun

The memory of being in your early career, struggling financially, but first exploring the world on your own (eg, for me, in Manhattan working my first job after college.)

The romanticized thought of being a writer in some European city having total artistic freedom.
Frey argues that in some cases even small ADUs can make
sense; a quarter of Americans live alone, and don’t
necessarily need much room, especially as many cities work

of places to spend time away from home.
