> strain on community services like schools

Public schools take forever to build because they need to get a bond approved, procure land, find a builder, staff it, etc. If Washington in general and Seattle in particular were more open to charter schools, there's a better chance of schools keeping up with demand. Additionally, if Washington allowed a voucher system (it's been a while since I checked, but I'm pretty sure it's not allowed), private schools could also pick up the slack.

> rapidly changing the demographic and possibly culture of the area

Is that a bad thing?

I'm okay with zoning laws in general, but for it to work, the city needs to be open to rapid changes in zoning.
Yes, the thermal-electric effect is reversible. It's sometimes called the Peltier effect (or thermal-electric cooling) when used in heat pumping mode, and Seebeck effect when used in electricity generation (thermal-electric generation).

I was still looking at Apple as mainly a tech company, the “style” thing I reguarded as a distraction. We’ll see if they’re be able to keep their current valuation by ignoring their tech roots. And yes, I am bitter because just the other day an iPhone of our family experienced the infamous “white screen of death” for not having sufficient storage space left (it happened on a restart), the phone is one-year old. I hadn’t seen such low quality in a mass-produced OS since the days of Windows Me and Windows 2000.
Hmm!

Maybe routing apps should have an initial onboarding (or route-specific questions) similar to 401(k) / investing apps: "what is your tolerance for risk?" and "how well do you know this area?" and "do you like calm or active routes?"
Though certainly not their aim, this has the unintentional side effect of reducing the value of surrounding real estate. Thus, Amazon can further expand their offices to surrounding real estate at a lower cost. The homeless people, simply by being repulsive, are providing a wholly unintentional benefit to Amazon's bottom line.

I could imagine that this is a trend that could catch on and become the 21st century politically correct version of blockbusting [1].

What people fail to consider is even with the high end smartphones, how do we know you are guranteed full speed 4G all the time?

Rapidly increasing the housing supply in a way that has these knock-on effects is only possible if demand already far outstrips supply. So really the problem isn't that these things will happen—it's that laws have been protecting wealthy "communities" for so long already that the whole thing is upside-down and we risk unleashing chaos simply by satisfying the demand for housing.

The solution is to get our heads around the fact that people need affordable places to live, and work toward satisfying that demand as quickly as reasonably possible without completely overloading services or putting too many homeowners on the edge upside-down on their mortgages. Unfortunately, so much damage has already been done that this will not be easy, but it will only get harder as governments continue to shelter the wealthy at the expense of everybody else and local economies in general.

Oh, and hand-wringing about changing demographics and culture is not helping. Change happens. Integration is necessary.
I think it would be a good idea to see this setup in a larger comparison like https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks. It is not my impression that node based apps did particulary well here in these tests. So if performance is important why not use something that has proven to be fast.
I've seen this tracking param when people shared with me some links, which they got from Fb.

There is a Firefox extension ClearURLs, which strips some tracking parameters from the url.

From what I remember, if you click in Fb on a link, it redirects first to an internal tracking url, and then to your final link. This is not limited to Fb only.

> 1) Mammograms are not interpreted in a vacuum. In fact mammograms are usually the first in a long line of tests before a breast cancer or other diagnosis is ultimately made.

The paper specifically talks about mammography, it does not claim to replace a complete diagnosis.

> 2) Speaking frankly as a radiologist myself, tests like mammograms aren't even that good in terms of overall diagnosis. Thats why ultrasound, tomosynthesis and MRI are often used as supporting evidence and/or alternative exams.

The paper, which I just skimmed over, does not read hyperbolic, for that we'll have to wait for popsci journalists.

OTOH, if one leaves the 1st world context, any type of successful diagnosis automation in medicine is a blessing for areas where you simply don't have enough trained medical staff.
Having a house helps a lot, we already have data on that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Housing_First
That's oversimplfying things quite a lot to say the least.

I see this sentiment shared often but the reality is that the major Texas cities are going through similar growing pains as companies and people move out here. The cities are designed to grow outwards, rather than upwards which has a huge problem in that traffic quickly becomes a disaster due to poor infrastructure and city planning.

Putting housing on land you own wouldn't solve much because it would still result in poor people being pushed further and further out of the city and congestion being made a major problem. This isn't to say NIMBYs aren't a problem, but rather that even if you removed them greed from landlords and land value in cities would still be a problem.
Nice. How about paying reasonable taxes instead?
Ask HN: How do I choose the right resource to learn CS fundamentals?
I am trying to learn CS on my own. But there are so many resources available online for every course from many of the top universities.

For example:

For intro courses:

* Computer science an interdisciplinary approach (princeton)

* CS61A - UCB

* Introduction to CS and programming (MIT)

* Stanford

* CMU

Data Structures and Algorithms:

* Princeton Algorithms

* CS61B - UCB

* Stanford Algorithms course

* MIT Algorithms

* CMU

Apart from this you have multiple books on each topic - Data Structures/Algorithms, Discrete Mathematics, Theory of Computation, Operating systems, Networks, and so on.

Apart from these you also have resources like teachyourselfcs, ossu, functionalcs.github.io/curriculum/.

I am attracted by the resources/online/books posted by courses in UCB/Princeton/MIT/Stanford/CMU. At the same time I get boggled down and overwhelmed that I have soooooooooo many materials to cover. Intro courses aren't that big of a deal since I am able to recognize/solve most questions fairly easily in multiple resources. But my next step of Data structures and algorithms is overwhelming that I am unable to start somewhere.

How do you recommend to choose the right resource (online/book) for each topic/course? Is it worth going through multiple university courses/books for the same topic?
People seem to always talk in absolutes, black and whites, concerning this topic.

In my experience most engineers take a situational approach. Sometimes it is worth it to optimize early, sometimes it is not. Some things are worth optimizing, some not. Also some things are worth optimizing to certain level.

These types of articles and claims conjure up a debate because everyone is imagining a different scenario in their heads. It is entirely plausible that each claim could be the best solution in a different scenario.

Do these articles assume that engineers are incapable of thinking flexibly and need to follow some absolute truths that have to be debated? Have I been around too good engineers that I have not noticed this issue?

If code written by a "Senior" Engineer is unreadable/unworkable by someone with less experience - that is 100% on the writer. Don't enable ego-fueled programming, best to either do as the article suggests or bring in some actual more senior engineers who have already learned that code is read 10x more than written, and should be optimized thusly.

I'm near Salt Lake City, and the approach here seems to be raiding clusters of tents, arresting people for possession (and maybe other crimes), and then tell to get as many as are left into shelters or rehab. It sounds cruel, but it seems to work somewhat, and many of the negative externalities of homelessness has gone away (e.g. suicides by drugs).

SLC hasn't really solved the homeless problem, but at least you don't see tent cities anywhere, which could be seen as good or bad depending on your outlook. I think something like that should happen elsewhere, but only if it's coupled with actual solutions, like improved homeless shelters and better policies for handling the homeless.
Nevada is my guess; it’s a lot closer and more fun.

Rather than running JS on the server, one way I found things to be effective is using any server side templating capability to basically "bootstrap" what the JS might typically do on start-up. So the server renders you a page that looks well formed and then the JS hooks into it for client interactions.

The issue that can be runned into here is possibly duplicating efforts on the server and JS side. You can keep them separate enough but it's tough if you're used to creating everything either through the server or through JS on the client.

The last web app I worked on like this is unfortunately not public but performed rather well and wasn't all that difficult to maintain either.

Amazon pays absolutely mind-bogglingly immense amounts of payroll taxes. To claim that Amazon pays no tax is more than a little bit incorrect.

The people they employ pay income taxes, as well, which come out of Amazon’s revenue ultimately.

There are many reasons to hate them. Their complying with the tax laws as they are currently written is not one of them.
This is one of the worst failures of capitalism. In order to improve their social credit, corporations first cause the conditions that lead to homeless (speculative capitalism) then give with one hand a fraction of what they reap with the other.

A lot of them were just old houses that were unrenovated. They’ve probably been torn down and rebuilt by now. My first place in the U district (1994ish) was a cheap $225/month basement room with shared bathroom and a small kitchenette. The land lady was desperate to keep non-students out so it wouldn’t turn into a flop house.
Have you lived in Texas? My citation is that I live in Austin and living here without a car simply isn't possible for a lot of people. The public transit infrastructure is poor, walkability is inconsistent thanks to poor roadwork and sidewalk connections.

I've spent most of the year working on colourisation and recovery techniques. Colourisation is probably 70% of the way, but restoration is as hard as ever.

The project isn't meant to be a unicorn. The tech stack is boring, and probably wouldn't scale.

There's about 50 people on board, and about two or three videos streamed a day - so it isn't remotely "successful" yet, but I set a four year timeline for it.

I don't have any specific stats to offer - because I don't collect it. I collect as little data as I can get away with. Both for personal belief, and economic reasons.

Seattle has had 20 years of almost continuous growth, with little housing expansion, and almost no affordable units (compared to growth. Yet, it has this idea, that if we ignore the problem it'll just go away.

Realistically, every city needs to accept that it is not an ocean liner, and cannot pull up the gangplanks and go "oh, sorry, we're full now, maybe you should try Portland? best of luck to you!"
We were talking just the other day about back-side power distribution in ICs. Basically you bury the power rails really deep, lap the chip down to half a micrometer, and add through vias to ge to the rails.

So now you’ve got a very thin chip and all the power comes in on the side with pretty much nothing else on it. I wonder if you mount the chip backside up, put these little peltier devices on the hot spots, if you can maintain a higher heat transfer rate.

When building a new website, I default to handwriting the HTML, instead of going with a static site generator. More pages lead to more duplication. I wrote a script that recursively goes through the directory, and replaces all occurrences of a string:

find . -name '*.html' -print0 | xargs -0 sed -i "" "s/replaceme/withthis/g"

The same but with fd:

fd -e html --print0 | xargs -0 sed -i "" "s/replaceme/withthis/g"

I have a tiny Sinatra app that I use in testing some parts of my Rails app. I either start it in the background or in a separate terminal window (that I close after some time). I have a script that kills a process given its port number (4567):

SSL/TLS is a problem even on 80586-class machines (souped up 486's, not Intel Pentiums) - there's a few YT videos showing how long it takes to bootstrap a modern SSH session on that sort of hardware. But honestly, how many people are browsing the net on stuff like that, much less Z80's?
Valid points. With the (no longer available) index pages on LI, you could get to most of the profiles too.

The drawbacks are:

a) Not having a profile isn't definitive. You could have missed it, it could have been locked down, or the person joined late.

b) You can't go back to build your baseline. You had to have the foresight to scrape it then or count on one of the breaches to establish who had accounts when.

The primary mitigation here would be LinkedIn (or any social network) itself. Whatever controls they had to block spidering, limit further than immediate contacts, etc would have to kick in.
Sadly the key here is lab scale and vanadium. Costs won’t make it worthwhile.
Consider that you're not starting from 'no kerning', but from deliberately bad kerning.

The overall width is a given because it tells you the tracking (letter-spacing) you're aiming for. It's common for this parameter to be user-selectable even when kerning is completely automatic (or to be automatically adjusted for the purpose of justification), so when you are the kerning algorithm, it's not your job to question that choice.

I can see how this can seem weird, as nominally you are responsible for deciding the overall width. But if you had to try to continue the tracking between the first two glyphs instead, or aim for e.g. "+20%", it would be much more difficult.

Being able to continuously deal with the feeling of "they want me to do WHAT!?" is one of the skills that distinguishes pro graphic designers from amateurs ;)
>C) If you're a target of an attack the encryption keys are unlikely to present a significant challenge as attackers will choose easier alternate vectors.

Absolutely true and none need look further than how the best of the best (NSA/Equation Group) handle such hurdles....they install malware on the computer to grab your keystrokes. Though I think if you have mission critical data you would be wise to never connect your machine with encrypted data to a network, ever. You need to have two machines. One which stores the encrypted data, custom built with trusted hardware. No wifi, no bluetooth, no USB, no cd rom etc.

This seems like a troll question, so apologies, but is it really an affordability thing? What's the average income (public assistance and otherwise) of a homeless person in Seattle? I live in podunk Ohio and a single bedroom apartment is still ~$650 per month. Would they be able to come up with that? Say the government splits it with section 8 or whatever. Same?

Is the idea that the public picks up the whole tab and the issue is just that the money just doesn't go as far with current rents?
