>>"In Chicago, neighborhood parking costs residents $25 a year; in Los Angeles, as much as $34; in Washington, $35; and in Portland, Ore., $75. In Boston, a pass for neighborhood parking is free, but officials are considering charging people with one car $25, and more for second and third cars."

The area highlighted in the article is the Upper West Side in Manhattan, which is a primarily residential area and not a commercial area that will be subject to a 2021 congestion toll. I don't know of any data that tracks the breakdown of outsider vs. resident cars, but generally I feel that the majority of cars who "cruise an average of seven blocks [...] before they find an empty space" will not be impacted much if residential parking permits are issued.

In fact, residential parking permits would probably still result in the same problems mentioned in the article: double-parked vehicles during the day, remnants of a car-centric culture, and residents desperately circling for free parking spots. The one benefit of a parking permit would be an increase in city revenue.

This is sort of addressed in the article where "residential parking fees in other cities have not been a panacea, in part because neighborhood permits usually do not deal with the supply-and-demand problem — too many cars for the number of spaces."

You could force residents to pay for garages which generally charge $700+ per month to store a sedan (more for SUVs), but then we keep hearing how such policies favour the rich and wealthy because they disadvantage residents who need vehicles to drive to work every day.
Except that with the amount of activity on the repo it's simply impossible.

Every new merge on master would require to rebase several hundred branches being worked on or awaiting reviewed. Multiply this with the hundreds of commits merged on master every day and you end up with way too much CI jobs to run.

You are a brave and principled man. Thank you for posting that.
Maybe you buy a lot of subscriptions and currency? I bet they avoid annoying their most profitable users. While it might have been coincidental, I never got ads until I unsubbed from the vast majority of streamers I follow. Same for other things like gifted subs. I used to receive a ton of gifted subs until I started lowering my sub count. They are obsessed with performance metrics. Big spenders have a very different experience.

Now, whenever I get an ad, I immediately close twitch and find something on YT/Mixer to watch. I'm training their algorithms to leave me alone.
What I've heard from PRC nationals in the US is that the CIA is behind the "riots". I'm assuming this is the narrative being pushed by the state-run media in the PRC.
I have asked my Japanese friends about this and they are usually convinced after discussion that "ga" is the correct particle to use here. But "wo" sounds fine.

I think it is very much like "was/were" in English. "If I was to give you a cookie..." / "If I were to give you a cookie..." "were" is "correct" (as though there is such a thing in English), I think, but "was" sounds fine. "Was" looks pretty abrasive in writing but say it out loud and you'll notice that you hear it a lot.
There's nothing inherently wrong with web components. People rag on them when they aren't used correctly, and this is apparently hard to do.

If you don't understand what technical information they need to do their job then you lack technical skills. If you don't understand what technical information you need to request from others then you lack technical skills. If you can't write them down or express them in words you lack technical skills. If you can do those things then you can work with others and be productive.

You might not be fit for a career in sales but that is not what we are discussing. The only major "social skill" you need is the ability to not offend or inconvenience others. This part is not very hard and doesn't need repeating as much as people do it.
> Just like TV.

TVs allow the user to mute the audio, switch channels and fast forward past ads in recorded video. What publishers are doing to the web is like sending a control message that reconfigured the TV and disabled some of its functions. "You can't mute the audio, you're obligated to listen to this. Also, we're turning the volume all the way up in order to reach you even if you leave. You can't turn it off either."

Publishers simply don't want users to have any control over the experience. It's their way or the highway.
Using web components or something else is only one small part of the performance question. They could be using both web components and React for all we know. They could be using any number of JavaScript libraries that could be harming performance. They could be using raw DOM manipulation which could be either very fast or somewhat slow depending on how well it was implemented. All we can say is that using JavaScript in general is slower than using C++ but they weren't using C++ before anyways.

Well, they asked a similar question during one of the democratic party debates [1] and some candidates said Trump but others pointed out climate change, Russia meddling in elections, China, etc. But the question was greatest "geopolitical threat" so I guess it's not exactly the same.

Because EMACS wasn't developed for the PDP-11. It came from the MIT ITS and Stanford SAIL systems, which had real "meta" keys.[1] Those keyboards also had a "Top" key, an additional shift for extra symbols on top of the keys. See "MIT Space Cadet Keyboard", and Symbolics keyboards.

The control-S/control-Q flow control only worked on UNIX in "line mode", which also did backspace and such. VI turned that off and ran in raw mode. Before BSD, UNIX mostly ran in line mode. The TCP/IP implementation we used, a heavily modified 3COM UNET, predated BSD networking. It normally ran in "line mode", and when running VI remotely, VI switched the pseudo-terminal to "raw mode", which caused the Telnet connection to send the options DON'T ECHO[2] and DO SUPPRESS GO AHEAD.[3] The connection was now transparent to special characters. This was necessary on the rather laggy links of the time. Exiting VI restored line mode.

If VI crashed, or you killed it, or, when job control came in, you switched tasks, you were stuck in raw mode, and had to reset the terminal session by typing "stty saneLF". You actually had to type LF, because CR->LF translation was suppressed in that mode.

BSD didn't bother with this, and ran terminals in remote echo mode all the time, which required lower lag connections. Berkeley was mostly IP over Ethernet at the time, without much long-haul, so that worked for them.

Yeah - I do not understand the snark on this thread. This is great news.
Absolutely horrifying read. I couldn't help but think about Julian Assange going through similar treatment in the UK. Just goes to show: All governments are criminal and terrorist organizations, oppressing and enslaving the people.

Edit: sources for perennate

> Two medical experts accompanied Melzer when he visited Assange at Belmarsh prison in the UK, he said on Tuesday. "We came to the conclusion that he had been exposed to psychological torture for a prolonged period of time. That's a medical assessment." Melzer’s message fell largely on deaf ears, as only a handful of reporters attended Tuesday’s press conference at the UN headquarters in New York.

Reading about the history of so many major design decisions coming from one person also makes me wonder how different modern languages would be without the contributions of that person. Would we be more or less where we are, but a couple years behind? Would we have gone a different route with some of these decisions?
Yes. That’s why I find dev.to and to be a rather uninteresting place.

It’s 90% niceties and explaining .map over and over again.

Similar things can be observed in many meetups and some companies. Everything is awesome. Everybody is nice. People shy away from deciding anything. Even the simple act of two people wanting to go through the same door at the same time is an impossible conundrum.

No matter how important psychological safety is (and it really is), a constant state of coddling serves nobody.
There is only one ARM ISA. Well, okay, multiple (32 vs 64 bit, microcontroller vs unix-capable) but vendors don't change the ISA. (Apple has been allowed to introduce some extension for using a coprocessor (?) recently but that's it.)

The different crap between vendors is just the various onboard devices on the SoC, nothing to do with the CPU cores that implement the ARM ISA.

The "consumer" space is indeed not good, but there's only so many SoC vendors (and most of them rely on Synopsys DesignWare blocks for all the things) and mainline Linux supports most of them really really well.

The real fun time is for us in the BSD world, we're too small for e.g. Rockchip to care about us and contribute like they do with Linux :(
These articles seem like they're playing code golf more than proving anything as a viable alternative to C.

The goal is to analyze your needs and pick the language best suited to your task. The goal is not to find one language that excels at everything.
> Streaming will never take off for competitive playing, because the physical latency will always be there.

If they are forced to, I have no doubt they will. It's not because there's more constraint that competitive game play won't happen. A mouse is so much more powerful than a gamepad that crossplay between console and PC on FPS is pretty rare. Yet you'll find competitive fields in console FPS too.

They'll definitely takes any advantage they can, that's including "fake fullscreen" to cut out lag, better display, mouse, etc... but I have no doubt if a competitive game happens on the cloud, the gamer will be there just as much.

To be clear - moral issues notwithstanding - everyone who has a job (i.e. participating in the economy) benefits quite a lot from 'China'.

90% of the value derived from China goes to 'consumer surplus' - i.e. 'cheaper goods'. What we gain is immense, much more than Apple and Google are profiting.

The 1% get most of the profits, true, but most of win.

Also remember: that 'cheap goods' are most beneficial to poor people. We all love to hate Walmart - but Walmart (supplied by China) is what enables 150 million Americans to have 'stuff' that enables the quality of their lives that they simply would not have. It's been immensely positive at least on those terms (again ignoring all those externalities).

The 'losers' on 'our side' are of course those who have been put out of work. The 'losers' on 'their side' are those stuck in factories and concentration camps. And of course, we all 'lose' due to the pollution etc..

But can make thew world a better place; China is not immune to pressure and if we acted collectively I bet we could get them to close those camps, though I doubt the surveillance state will end. They want better justice and less pollution - that will get worked on - and a more advanced economy will empower workers will yield benefits for their 'regular folk' as well.

This was the lie told to the American people in the 90s to justify PNTR with the PRC. We know it was a bald-faced lie now. Why are you saying this?

Eh, if I sign up for a credit card for "0% APR!!!" and then don't read the fine print that it's an introductory offer, isn't that a result of my action (or lack thereof)?

That they use fine print or dense legalese doesn't invalidate the fact that it was there for the end-user to read and agree or disagree with. I find that most "ordinary non-lawyer" people can understand these policies if they take the time to actually read them. They're verbose, not arcane.

Understand what "cost" means to an economist.

To understand cost in economics you'll learn topics like externalities (positive and negative) as well as internalities and their meaning. You'll dive into concepts like opportunity cost as well as fixed vs sunk costs.

Once you get at truly what cost means to an economist you will be so much better informed in making business and personal decisions. In my line of work (software development) so many products and daily decisions hit the sunk cost fallacy of wanting to hang onto projects we are in love with. Other ideas like negative externalities really are the underpinning of understanding why climate change is out of control.

Cost is always oversimplified. Spending some time to understand it deeply and learn the concepts and common language is incredibly valuable.
I think people have varying opinions on this. Many of us don't really want to launch people into a phony conversation -- you convince the other person that you understand the language, then they talk for a while, and then they realize that you didn't understand anything they just said. Now your newfound friend thinks you like wasting their time.

This happens all the time in other contexts. "Have you seen movie X?" "mm yeah" "what did you think about the part where <20 minutes of explanation>" "oh you know I didn't actually see the movie I just didn't want to say no". The reason people do this is because they hate saying no, and 50% of the time having seen the movie / heard the song / know the celebrity / is not actually relevant to the anecdote. But when it is, you sure look like an idiot.
That's fair. I suppose I'm just used to my own (probably unhealthy) drinking habits. I only drink one day a week, usually at some event like a football game or wedding, but I drink a lot when I do.
Dr. Bik Kwoon Tye could be a poster child for Dr. Seligman's work in the field of positive psychology! This story reminds me so much of a book I just finished reading: The Happiness Advantage.

"Conventional wisdom holds that if we work hard we will be more successful, and if we are more successful, then we’ll be happy. If we can just find that great job, win that next promotion, lose those five pounds, happiness will follow. But recent discoveries in the field of positive psychology have shown that this formula is actually backward: Happiness fuels success, not the other way around."
I'm mostly speculating but, they wouldn't be selling the data, they would be selling access to their ad network that has models built off that data used to match ads to people. If they have a high(er) conversion rate, they can charge quite the premium for this information. Similarly, if they could merely keep people in their platform (WhatsApp), nobody else has that information -- same effect.

(Also speculating) if that's more or less how it works, and an ads conglomerate like Google or Facebook is worth hundreds of billions, then even a fine of a billion dollars wouldn't be enough to deter them from this activity.

None of this is meant to stir up controversy or be negative or anything, I just think its an interesting mental exercise to consider this scenario and these motivations.

>the joke-teller was fired for something shortly after the incident, but the CEO and the joke-teller won't say exactly what the justificaiton for the firing was

Past experience tells me it was most likely because of the event in question and they have their own reasons for not talking (specifically, joke-teller probably doesn't have definite proof and doesn't want another black mark for bad mouthing a previous employer, for which they get no benefit).
I think the key quote is this:

> "Shor's algorithm is the attack that was developed in the absence of a quantum computer,” Frincke said. “It's hard to predict what people will actually do with one."

Once QC actually manifests we may find new properties and new approaches to attacking existing algorithms, and being 'quantum hard' before that point is impractical.

I'm not a cryptographer by any means, so I have no idea if this is actually the case. Perhaps we understand the fundamentals so well that we can truly say an algorithm today can hold up in a QC world - I have no idea, that certainly sounds bold, but we do already have purported 'quantum hard' algorithms.
Surely people like this have a non dev friend who can lend a hand...

The PRC will most likely not escape the Middle Income Trap before their population pyramid massively inverts. No other country has aged so quickly at such a large scale before. Their population and working age groups are at the largest they will ever be right now and will steadily decline starting in 5-10 years.

I think collapse of the current government is more likely than a peaceful ROC-esque (Taiwan) transition from dictatorship to democracy.

AI researcher here. Please do not read this headline and think, 'Ooh, I could create AI software to find potential mass shooters!' First, watch Minority Report and realize all the problems with 'pre-crime'. Second, current AI technology often does not do well with social behavior prediction, sometimes even performing worse than linear regression. Also, 100 different features is a small set, which is problematic in itself.

Now, an idea for AI application might be to analyze the environments the mass shootings occurred in to help create environments that minimize the casualty potential while retaining as mush aesthetics as possible. I could see a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) setup applying here, it's an interesting idea. Sadly, I do not have the bandwidth to tackle it.
I understand and agree with the outcry around using ML areas like criminal justice, but there are some really compelling examples of ML being used by governments to help citizens[1].

Ask HN: Anyone been shadowbanned by Reddit admins without warning or details?
They never sent me a message or warning, it just happened, I logged in and my account was shadowbanned, so I appealed and they came back with an automated message saying they would keep my account suspended. That was it, no more messages. I don’t know how long I’m suspended for or if it’s permanent.

They never told me what rule I broke so even if I get my account back, I wouldn’t know how to improve.

It’s making me rethink if I want to be part of Reddit and if they don’t reinstate my account I don’t think I’ll be joining again.

Thanks, Reddit “Anti-Evil” Team.

This is put a bit darkly and being downvoted into the dust, but I think there's a kernel of truth here. Through my career, I've tried hard to be helpful to women and minorities, and never really considered the possible risks. But I also realize that I'm a rather socially awkward person, and whereas in the past a dumb comment might have drawn an eyeroll, these days it could easily be job-ending, and even have permanent consequences to my career.

I've noticed that Chinese citizens in my workplace play their cards extremely close to the vest, not discussing non-work issues, and indeed rarely speaking or expressing suggestions at all. I admire them, and this seems like good practice in 2019.
