>I'm sorry - why is Yang entitled to a place in the conversation?

Overall, he isn't entitled to a place in the conversation, but omitting him from certain parts of the conversation seems very disingenuous.

For a real life example, if they show a list of "all" candidates on screen (including 7 that poll lower than Yang), but exclude Yang from that list, this is not cool at all (which is exactly what happened multiple times, as evidenced by the article the parent comment linked). Same goes for debates, where some candidates got a ton of questions asked, while Andrew got way fewer questions.
Yes, and let me take the opportunity to thank you! (Have to do it here since you've done such a good job of hiding your email address :-)

That's because only megaprojects can afford to overcome all the regulatory and neighborhood hurdles.

Do you think the average homeowner trying to become a landlord by converting their home into a duplex has enough money to pay for both sides of a law suit, as this developer had to?

Yeah I agree, it's a vanity project for De Blasio and the real estate developers who have new developments along the proposed route.

I live in Greenpoint and have no need for this, the G and the ferry are good enough to get me to any of the points along the proposed line. If they really want this they could just allocate a dedicated bus lane that could potentially double as a bike lane.

A "great transit equalizer" would be an expansion of the M to LaGuardia and the N/W to the Bronx.
It depends on the type of development you're wanting.

If you're looking to develop a comprehensive view of a subject, labs and lectures are the way to go, and there's a lifetime bonus if you can figure out how to engage these without a lecturer (textbooks). This is the Sistine Chapel approach, and it's a critical way of foundational learning, detailed notes, learning the names of all the bones by rote, engaging all the problems, seeking puzzles that require epiphanies, and building understanding.

If you're branching off, deep in a subject this is often unsustainable. If you already have a foundation, you are in a zone where there is no such thing as comprehensive, you're in the jungle and may need to make your own way. It is a different toolset, in some senses. You need to draw boxes around things, maps of ideas, and hidden interrelationships. A text on a subject might be 700 pages in a lucid and reasonable order, but 700 pages of research is scrambled and complicated, and begs for its reader to sort, classify, and tag the readings, and to seek the new bedrock on which the ideas sit, and the parameters of unaccomplished analyses you can make your own.

Eh, I’ve heard that before as well but I don’t know if it’s true. By the time the program ended in 2009, cash for clunkers had taken ~700k cars off the market. The same year, about 35 million used cars were sold in the US[1]. Cash for clunkers was a rounding error.

Google wields too much power. To an extent, they can dictate to website owners what HTML is allowed and not allowed thanks to their dominance in search. This is compounded by the fact that their browser marketshare via Chrome and now Microsoft Edge basically allows them to do what they want with HTML.

Matters are even worse. Last year, the W3C became the "yes-man" of Google. They decided to stop developing the HTML standards and just start rubber stamping whatever WHATWG produces. WHATWG is run by Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Mozilla. And who has the most power in that relationship? Yep, Google.
Cognigy.ai 3.5 Released
Rust isn't viable for embedded platforms, at least not yet. It's not as easy to compile it to the most obscure ISAs as C, and the little support it has for stuff like STM32 is restricted to just that group of microcontrollers and doesn't support the entire ARM range. Maybe in the future? I'm looking forward to that day!

Go is probably never going to run on microcontrollers due to its very big overhead.

C perfectly matches on top of the hardware of a processor. Every single design decision about C was made with the computer in mind. Memory, pointers, stack, call stack, returns, arguments, just everything is so excellently designed.

Even Linus Torvalds says so! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYvJPra7Ebk

If I were to make one change to C, it would be to completely rip out the #include system and bring a proper modules system. Apart from that, it's pretty much perfect.

Why do you assume there is a bias in favor of the first half?

Does the adjective 'Franco-German' reveal an insidious pro-French bias in English?
Because the great value of cities lies in the network effects that arise when hundreds of thousands of people live and work in the same neighborhoods. Ideas cross-polinate, spawn, and mutate creating wealth. And the value produced by a city increases super-linearly, perhaps exponentially, as population density increases. Policies that place artificial limits on city densities choke off that engine of wealth.

It may be possible to create an extremely dense, high population, productive charter city with an enormous investment of capital, but it would be far easier to simply remove the restraints that hold back our existing cities.
Just because prices are going down doesn't mean that they are going down to the level they _should_ be at (whatever that would mean).

So typically, developers pay the fees to develop water, sewer, and electrical capacity, and sufficiently large developments must pay for parks and even schools. Property tax pays for fire service.

You are trying to take an interesting discussion about species off on a wildly irrelevant tangent. There is no sexism here and the names are not designed to promote patriarchy.
More housing is not a panacea for homelessness - but supply and demand are real. Increasing supply will decrease equilibrium price; this increase in affordability is one measure (of the many necessary) to help homelessness.
Don't know exactly how it is calculated (in the example I gave).
While you’re right that there is not an oversupply(needs citation), it is interesting to note some Burroughs have seen a decrease in rent in the past few years.

Same issue for dual display setup, my workaround is to label the cables and make damn sure I plug them in the same order and same port every time. If I do it wrong I’ve to do the display settings and rotate both screens routine..

Another option is to use the left side ports at work and the right side at home.

A little tongue in cheek, of course. I suppose you could run an encrypted protocol over any untrusted transport.

The point is that Signal is designed around your real life identity. That's a real use case, it helps discoverability immensely, and that's generally why people use it. Should you wish to communicate pseudonymously there are plenty of options already available.

(The XMPP suggestion was only partly in jest. Any modern client, such as Conversations, is pretty solid. But there is no shortage of options for chat.)
Yes, you are totally right. The homeless issue in SF is one of drug addiction. The issue that housing would solve is exorbitant rents in the area. People aren't homeless because of prices. But people are leaving the area leaving Silicon Valley less competitive.
I'm not sure that I understand what you're asking. I was saying that I don't see a correlation between wealth and intelligence. I also stated that I do see a correlation between being wealthy and making attaining wealth your primary goal.

Are you asking about something else?
Like USENET, I miss the coolness factor I remember surrounding IRC back in the 1990s and early 2000s. But as a communications tool, I don't miss it given the alternatives today.
Huh? I thought a a group, ring, etc. was precisely an example of a "universal algebra". You seem to contradict yourself, at times agreeing with this statement ("even though one is an example of the other"), at times not ("a group is not an algebra").

Edit: Wolfram Mathworld agrees with me: "Universal algebra studies common properties of all algebraic structures, including groups, rings, fields, lattices, etc." http://mathworld.wolfram.com/UniversalAlgebra.html
Then there’s the perennial problem of missing format specifiers for POSIX types like pid_t. Although you could argue that POSIX should mandate macros to appropriately handle them, the root problem is the same.

Yeah I had kind of a weird reaction to his comment.

I was inspired by Ben Eater's YouTube series about making a breadboard computer. Rather than copying his schematics, I designed my own. Took a very long time. Went on digikey and Amazon and dropped probably around $1k in parts and tools. Now I'm building the damn thing and it's very time consuming.

I also recently bought a new laptop for $200 which is many orders of magnitude more capable than my breadboard computer eventually will be. Does that fact mean my time, effort, and money spent on the breadboard computer is a waste? Hell no.
Very interesting, I hadn't seen SLOG before. It seems like there's a fairly similar core insight: placing data near where it's used can help with some system properties. They appear to be more latency-focused and we were (primarily) aiming at availability.

The other different part of Physalia is our focus (again, for availability) on placement for 'blast radius'. That means we try limit the number of cells than any one failure (software, infrastructure, etc) can touch. Geo-replicated systems can have similar concerns, but I haven't seen the same level of focus on it as a key design goal.
Yea... there are way more than 20k units needed in the bay area (all 9 countie), its closer to 1m. You need to account for the huge amount of office space growth in the past 15 years and the next 10 years, as well as our historical trend of underbuilding due to regulations for the past 40 years.
I still use IRC, it has the same vibe for me because i use it for niche communities.

Technically, the Supreme Court ruled that a law that the legislative branch voted for and executive branch did not veto was not unconstitutional, thus causing the "Supreme Court says money is speech" situation. All we have to do is update the law or pass a constitutional amendment but no one is ever going to do that.
There are going to be tradeoffs one way or another.

You can build a bunch of high rises and fill them with people, and private transportation will become impossible. The experience of going to the beach or some hiking spot on the weekend will be degraded. Everyone will be living in a godawful megacity instead of the nice neighborhood they'd rather live in. There's a reason people push back against growth with respect to housing.

The real problem is overpopulation. If you eliminate one negative feedback loop for population growth, you will ultimately run into another one, and all the different kinds of waste we produce (CO2, garbage, light and noise pollution) will only pile up while finite resources in the region (breathing room, nature, water, room on the road and on hiking trails) will be divvied up into smaller portions
>Increasing supply will decrease equilibrium price

Hmm but this is not a given is it? I think many would move to SF if housing was only slightly cheaper.
Definition of species is not clear cut.
What has a 30 year old contributed that they claim to make decisions for those who are 70. Five years into employment and they expect to own a home? And want to displace retired seniors on fixed incomes who have worked for decades and paid 30 year mortgages.

The value of the house is not in $ but the number of man hours that go into it. Maybe tax the kids and grandkids who get tax free and tax saving inheritances. Property tax is as valorem. There is no value added to a home until it’s sold at the new higher price.

Property taxes are a way for the government to make sure that you never truly own your home 100%. They are not a means for young professionals to avail free public education for their own kids. It’s double dipping since they already availed free education paid for by the very same seniors who paid by taxes to support public schools and build city infrastructure.

I am sorry to know that those who want their kids to be in nice neighbourhoods cant afford to pay rent or pay for private schools, but that’s no reason to promote elder abuse by way of punitive property tax increases to displace them from their homes to build more.
Have you seen what happens in those projects? I lived in Chicago and those were not a good place to live because of incredible levels of crime.

What we need is to stop clustering so much around SF and LA. There are lots of places in CA that are basically empty. What we need is more ways for people to make money remotely so they can live in lower density areas and still make good living. High density is not the answer, people need space and we have space.
I don’t disagree with this but it is more complicated because often the order statements are executed in is knowledge. Much duplicated code is duplicated knowledge.

The question is whether it is a coincidence or the same concept.
The core Linux kernel is well-known and mostly well-written C.

The haber-bosch process is the worst scientific advance human beings have ever made, much worse than tetra-ethyl lead, CFCs, or the atom bomb. It's not even possible to grow enough food to support the current world population without industrial nitrogen fixation for fertilizer.

>all knowledge embedded in your code needs to have a canonical source

I don't get it. Code /IS/ knowledge and whenever I copy-paste code around, I duplicate not only code but also knowledge.
I think we agree, and you should heed your own advice not to assume what someone else thinks.

What I mean by mental models: Some producers rely on their favorite DAW's workflow. I'd never tell someone to ditch the DAW they're more productive in.
This is not a judgement. I'm not implying you don't "get" Ardour. On the contrary, I'm endorsing your approach: choose the DAW that meets your needs.

I said Ardour had improved a lot for me. I never said it would work for you. My comment was for the benefit of other people here. Giving a counterexample to your experience. No DAW is good for everyone. Ardour doesn't work for you. It does work for me. And if someone's looking for a DAW, I think Ardour is worth trying. I wouldn't tell you to try it.

And you already know it doesn't work for you, so you don't need to try again. I support you in sticking to the tools that you're most productive in. Nothing is more annoying than someone dictating what tools you use to do your job.
The problem (my opinion, not necessarily the op's) is using the cell phone number as the public id. An alternative id would promote better privacy. If Signal scales to even a fraction of the user base of a Facebook or WhatsApp, it needs to reconsider using the cell phone number as a public id. I can see where a group invites you to join and there's a bad egg in the group. That bad egg (randomly or intentionally) uses your cell phone number for all sorts of nefarious intents. I like to keep my cell phone private and not have it out in the wild.
I totally agree. For five stars it would have to be exceptionally good. Something I'm very satisfied I might give four stars, which ironically drags the score down.

I recently purchased an alarm clock. When I put the clock in my bedroom, the light from the display was so bright it kept me awake. I went back to the item on Amazon and read all the reviews. One person mentioned the same issue yet still gave it four stars!

Sure. You can add people. IF they can afford to buy in. Clearly they can’t...that’s not the problem of existing homeowners who aren’t ‘diverse’ enough for the younger generation.
It's certainly not the same as it was in 1999 when I begun using IRC, but I don't entirely miss anything. I realize that most of the "feeling" is just me being nostalgic. I'm happy with what IRC is and offers today, and I use still use it daily, ever since 1999.
A lot of principles like DRY (as described out of correct context in this article) have cult like followings people follow mindlessly leading to unnecessary introduced complexity.

I'm always amazed at how eager people are to over-engineer a solution that makes it a mess to deal with moving forward. Developers at large like to appear clever, tend to have (fragile) large egos, and don't seem to want to veer from established dogma--much of which based on little evidence or evidence that doesnt apply to a case they're dealing with.
Using Testcontainers with Quarkus
Not really. Aside from the warez and books and a few tech channels, I found it really really difficult to make any meaningful connections or even have social conversations there. You go into one of the larger channels and its a hundred people spewing into the channel and its very difficult to even understand what threads are occurring or if they are just talking past each other, let alone actually get a conversation going.

Then you go the smaller channels, and everyone is idling/afk.

Then there were the very specific channels, and any talk of anything other than Pokeman in #pokeman will get you kicked.

The tech channels were reasonably good, but it was mostly business there too.

Occasionally you find a decent room with people talking and looking to just kind of shoot the shit, but I found more often than not, it was someone entirely across the globe- and while that is interesting in its own way, my jaw was on the floor when I first chatted with someone from Singapore in the 90s (long distance was dollars a minute then), I quickly realized that we really had almost no shared cultural context and after "so what is life like in $yourcountry" we didn't have much to talk about.

I was op on a few tech channels on efnet back in the day, and learned some interesting things and gave (and received) a lot of good help, but as far as using it to just chat about the weather and meet people, I found it not very useful- especially compared to AOL chatrooms.
I'm amazed by people like you. You're a programmer, you know how your code looks like. Worse still, you have seen other people's code, how they fail to account for corner cases, you've seen so many articles on HN's front page about security bugs found by fuzzing. Yet, you trust your LIFE to "heuristics"? Do you really trust that when the proverbial black swan flies in front of your car the software won't swerve you into the oncoming traffic?

Why don't you just drive yourself or take a taxi?
If the phone has a strong wifi signal but a very poor cell signal, will it emit a lot of RF still?
It could be argued that AMP was that attempt, and the only reason AMP gained tractions was Google started using it in the carousel of their SERPs.

While Safari, when mobile is included, has ~17% of the market, that's not enough when you combine Google's browser share along with their search engine share.
I miss IRC deeply. We had an internet with an amazing, people-run, free, chat network.

And we replaced it with corporate things like facebook messenger/discord where you're the product.

It's the source of a large portion of the accidental complexity I find in code. "If I just create this abstraction, all this duplicated code goes away"

For me it's usually, "Oh crap that thing I changed I had to change here and here too, whoops its good now... Wait no I also had to change it here... and here... now that we're done with that we should be fine... DAMMIT!"
