I had a similar experience when I went from being an IC to a hybrid IC/Manager role at a smaller company. My day went from designing, coding and testing to babysitting, bird-dogging HR and Payroll issues, running interference to keep the executives out of my developers' hair and about 10% of my day coding. I'm glad I have the experience but 10/10 would not do it again.
There isn’t a single pro wildlife/forest view expressed in this article, what’s being explicitly fought against here by YIMBY, and later Falk, are:

... letters to elected officials, and at the open microphone that Mr. Falk observed at the City Council meetings, residents said things like “too aggressive,” “not respectful,” “embarrassment,” “outraged,” “audacity,” “very urban,” “deeply upset,” “unsightly,” “monstrosity,” “inconceivable,” “simply outrageous,” “vehemently opposed,” “sheer scope,” “very wrong,” “blocking views,” “does not conform,” “property values will be destroyed,” and “will allow more crime to be committed.”

If preserving wildlife and forests can be equated with preserving suburban lifestyles and property values, then yes, it’s perhaps already lost and we should all be quite sad.

It is borderline trivial to steal someone else's phone number through social engineering and the systems underlying the world's GSM networks are very easy to spoof, MITM, and otherwise hijack with a minimum of equipment.

It's crazy to me that with all of Signal's emphasis on security (being designed by one of the top security researchers in the world, no less), they chose to make tying your account to a phone number a requirement.

I go very far out of my way to make sure that nothing important to me is tied to my phone number.

RE (2): Defer. The diagram has an extra box in the control flow which is unnecessary. You can label the big boxes from top to bottom like so: A E B <unnecessary> D C.

A good use case for understanding the control flow of 'defer' is when cleaning up resources.

mutex.lock();
defer { mutex.unlock(); }

val f = File.open(filename);
defer { f.close(); }

// write to file

It's a nice construct because it keeps construction and destruction close together instead of far apart

mutex.lock();
val f = File.open(filename);

// write to file

f.close();
mutex.unlock();
Yes, I’m aware of that. But an algebra is a very different thing from “an algebraic structure”.
Page colors are ugly as shit, but so readable - modern web devs/people who make them do "modern" stuff, you suck compared to these sites in this thread.

Sorry, not sorry.
Your comment merges well with one slightly above from TheFlyingFish, It's that browsers pretty good at displaying stuff even when html is not to spec.

and really it's that everyone uses browsers that still display text and such on the screen even if it's broken in several places.

This could change if google decided to stop showing pages with broken html - like them killing flash big cuts at a time.

I have turned several worpress based sites into static html with one of the static html making plugins - and that turned those tools into the right ones for those jobs. I think most WP sites can be converted and be just fine, most people don't add new posts to them regularly from what I've seen.

Playing with some of the colors in Photoshop, I used an eyedropper to sample the khaki color. I get 169, 161, 150, RGB or 23,24,150 HSL. After playing around a bit, it seems that khaki is "dark orange", with equal amounts of RGB added to make it lighter. Or, "orange" desaturated and lightened.

It won't bankrupt anyone. If you bought a house you could afford for "x", and you budgeted as if it cost "x", you still have a place to live if you keep paying the mortgage. All your plans remain exactly the same. If the "value" of the house goes down, you'll save on property taxes.

They will manage the schedule based on what the engineers estimations (and try to push for a better release date).

Any way, good PM must exist and add value to a team. But most of them don't know what they are doing... It's really painful.

That analogy isn't exactly accurate. To make it accurate, the kids sitting in the current seats would have to have paid a significant amount to purchase those seats. Also, throw in some kids who, for neurological reasons, become extremely distressed if they're forced to sit next to very loud kids. Because of this, they (or their parents) made a big sacrifice to secure single seats for them at great expense.

The article is implicitly asking you to make a small imaginative leap – that the bug expressed is in fact subtle enough it would have never been caught otherwise – in the service of providing a concise, digestible example. It might have been better for the author to spell this out but I don't think it's really necessary.

I can't learn new material just by reading a book (although I have friends and colleagues that appear to be able to do so). I have over thirty repos on GitHub, most of which are the result of one learning experience or another: GPS, SQLite, yacc/lex, Go, Rust, etc. For some of these, I had to buy hardware, e.g. an eval board, GPS receivers, etc. That's what works for me.

Of course the answer is #2. When Obama ran in 2008 and 2012, media, academics and technologists fawned over his campaign's then novel use of technology and Facebook advertising.

Forgive the slight tease, but this just sounds like “I cannot fathom why <thing I dislike> is more popular than <thing I like>.” It’s really as simple as more people being comfortable with <thing I dislike>.

Ahead of most of this, you probably need to remove or heavily adjust Prop 13.

The primary problem, as detailed in the article, is that homeowners have every incentive to be against new construction and no incentives to be for it. If property taxes rose appropriately with property values, homeowners would have an interest in maintaining housing prices rather than doing everything they can to keep them rising.

There's also a range of beneficial secondary effects. For example, I've talked to retired folks that have considered leaving the bay due to the increased cost of living. But because they have owned their house for decades + P13, if they bought a _cheaper_ house elsewhere in CA to downsize, they'd be paying _more_ in property taxes, to the point of the move not being worth the cost. (I believe there's been talk of transferable tax rates to fix this specific problem, or maybe something was even passed, but it just goes to show the distortions P13 has beyond the obvious).

Aligning incentives (where possible) is, imo, almost always a better way to do things than creating a new batch of regulations/laws to deal with a problem.
I believe the OP was being sarcastic there.
Considering the NY-Newark metro area has ~18M people, 120k proposed housing units (at ~2.5 persons per household) is about a 1% increase above the base rate of housing, assuming no vacancies and one household per unit. Considering the already astronomical price of housing in the area, it's hard to imagine that this is really going to move the needle. If we were serious about reducing housing cost, you'd see 3-5x the number of proposed units as you do, or more.
Having been born and raised in a major city, I'm certainly biased, but I truly believe that suburbs should go away. Every part of a suburb seems so insular, so wasteful, so outmoded. A one family house requires maintenance, heating and wiring that would be so much more efficient with even the smallest apartment complex. Lawns are ridiculous, especially in the parts of the country where grass is not indigenous. Why the hell are we spending so much water and energy to maintain a goddamn green rectangle?

HOAs don't seem to do much besides execute petty laws. Neighborhoods, while they can be diverse, will never approach a city in terms of allowing people of different backgrounds, races, etc. to interact. There's a particular reason cities vote more democratic than suburbs: It's hard to vote for such hateful policies when you interact with the people effected every day.

I get that there's this nostalgia or rather inertia about suburbs. I get that people grew up in a one family house with a lawn in their nice homogeneous town. But it needs to go away.

Forcing everyone into cities is also a form of homogenizing. The idea that a city mindset is the only one is just forcing people to conform in a different way.
> Like, if you google 'dark orange', you get shown a bunch of brown swatches as the top results.

...unless you've got a universal web dark-mode extension. Then they're orange swatches. The swatches are visually brown by default, because the page they're shown on is white by default.

The video said "brown is orange with context", but I'd say it's more like "brown is orange with contrast."
I think there are a few legitimate work-arounds that can be pursued. There are sort of two points that need to be controlled:

1. Name recognition, if nobody knows who you are nobody will vote for you - this can be countered (or effectively reduced) by just super charging public information sources on all candidates, and some of the equal airtime laws (repealed under clinton urgh) helped with this issue.

2. Policy clarity, reduction of misinformation allowing publicly funded debates for candidates to self-advocate for positions and making sure the media is subsidized for covering those debates and fact checking helps inform the public.

If we move over to public funded elections, reinstate equal airtime and subsidize national debates we'll be in a good place - then arm the FEC and let them come down on a hammer on anyone trying to skirt the rules by trying to utilize either their own or their friends assets to give that person a bump. I think there is an assumption in the US that telephoning for a candidate is a valid and natural donation of time and support, and we need to break that because telephoning is already well onto the slippery slope. Lastly, Canada has an advantage here that the season is intensely short for campaigning, so it limits how much shady stuff you can actually pull off.
All of this has happened before (probably)

FWIW when you're closer to an antenna than the wavelength, you're not just seeing normal Gauss's law drop off, you can be looking an an evanescent wave [1], which does indeed fall off exponentially (well, depends on the exact shape of the antenna).

I've designed a short-range 'antenna' that is intentionally not impedance matched to the vacuum, and radiates very poorly - but the RF intensity close to the antenna is very high because of this effect.

Getting involved with a local YIMBY group is pretty easy, fun, and one of the best things you can do on several fronts:

* It's good for the economy, as "legitster" points out.

* It's good for the environment if people can drive less (or even walk or bike!) because they live closer to things.

* It's good for the people "on the margins", those struggling to pay rent, or those at risk of homelessness, or those who might like to move to a more productive place for a better job.

It's much easier to make a difference locally: in many places it's not hard to get to know your city councilors, or state reps/senators. One of my prouder YIMBY moments was turning out 5 people on a weekday morning to speak to our state rep, who ended up voting in favor of HB 2001, which legalizes up to 4-plexes throughout most Oregon cities.
Even worse, the browsers could not handle standard html.
