There is no possible way that the means by which you might be informed today - mass media - is going to give you an impartial view of the world, without bias towards the ruling elite.

The ruling elite long ago exercised masterful control over the masses through media manipulation - it has been a hundred years of refinement.

If you want to hold your government accountable, you need to demand more leaks and whistleblowing. This is the only effective way of keeping the power structure on its toes - because it does everything it can to maintain power, including control mass information at scale.

I've never found the "News" to be anything more than "what the elite want me to think about the world" which is why, switching it off, life got immediately better.
Or you could globally remap them to the Quake-controls and do ctrl+shift+E to pause, next and previous with W and S, 5 sec forward/backward with A/D and on/off with Q.

Nothing like fragging your friends while playing loud music but able to skip a song if it doesn't fit the moment, all without even flipping active window. Never looked at another player because of this function.

Just had to adapt with ctrl+shift+B for next song since S was hard bound in some game.
If you find these flowcharts instructive, and I think that you are well founded in doing so, good on you. A majority of other comments seem to be of the opinion that pointing out the complexity of control flow generated by the constructs in a language is a negative. It certainly seems like the prevailing attitude is ‘if I can’t see it, it doesn’t exist.’ But you said you were working on game code, so I will encourage you to keep thinking about the complexity of the choices you make in which constructs to use and don’t buy into the thought that says performance implications are not a really concern.
Remember that many renters (>70% in some cities like San Francisco) have price controls on their rents. If you're guaranteed that your rent will effectively never go up, then you're much more likely to block an apartment complex construction because it'll block your view or "change neighborhood character". Price controls on rents means many renters enjoy privileged status that insulates them from housing costs.
Rezone the area around Golden Gate Park and turn it into a dense metropolis.

You could 10x the density around there and be able to support the population. You’ve got wide streets, services, and it isn’t landfill.

Honestly though, I feel like it isn’t really a crisis. It’s mostly rich people fighting with other rich people over whose backyard to build in. There are no real YIMBYs, just people who want to live in certain areas they don’t currently live in.

Most of the poors have already been displaced. We pretend like they are the focus because it’s good for politics, but the reality is the diversity is already gone.
We are both in our 40s. Not exactly young.
ISPs usually don't do it "for free." Placing caches on operator networks is typically part of a larger business agreement that may not involve exchange of cash, but will exchange something of value.

> Why so much negativity about researching something so ubiquitous?

There's nothing wrong with researching electrosensitivity to see if it's real, and to what extent. Heck, I've designed studies to test it (never carried out). The problem is not researching it, yet continuing to insist that it is the reason for people's "unexplainable" chronic pain / fatigue when there's currently zero non-anecdotal evidence for it.
I think a reasonable interpretation of the result is the idea that all "chaotic" graphs of sufficient size _must_ contain order, which isn't as strong as "chaos is impossible", but isn't very intuitive to me.

I guess you could install it in an emulator and enter the code you receive via SMS in it during the setup phase.
The cost (monetary, and environmental) of electricity associated with transporting data is high (as a recent HN article illustrated). Anything to lower costs is good for everyone. ISPs probably are only in it for the monetary savings, but thats still good.
> This attitude is what I've usually seen from management, and junior engineers are often the ones who fight against this attitude, before they get too jaded and leave. Management will dishonestly claim successful delivery with zero regard for the actual product, and then force the engineers into 24/7 oncall.

Or do junior engineers build a broken system because they don't know better which results in them having to constantly fix shit and burn out?

And then a senior engineer is hired from outside with a lovely mess to clean up while getting paid more than the junior engineer was. And at that point in the company's life, the pressure is usually lower. So it's a nice gig. ;)
Do you have a rough overview of how the requirements differ across the similar edge programs linked above? If there's one thing Apple does better, it's providing a clean straight forward page with all the relevant info and little fluff.
"our" refers to homo sapiens. Even if she weren't, many (most?) Africans probably have ancestors who were not born in Africa at some point.
You're absolutely right, different wavelengths of EMR have wildly different effects on humans, so the comparison falls short that way as well.
You know why, right?
not sure what exactly is 'short term' here, but simple example re. supply and demand and prices:

1) there is a 100 single family homes somewhere.

2) there are 300 people looking who need to live in that somewhere

3) on top of 100 single family homes now we have 400 units built

..

Can it be that price of the units for sale may get reduced for competitiveness?
In this case the guy bribing people is also a regular at the only two pubs in town and getting kicked out of one of them would tank his venture because it's a source of a large portion of his audience.

Bloomberg getting kicked off of the Facebook ad platform would be a huge blow to his campaign. Facebook is huge for political campaigns because it allows them to micro target their audience and spam them with ads without any intent on the receiving end.

EDIT: Anyways, my main point is, if Facebook wanted to solve this problem they would.

Sounds like a good policy. But i'm surprised by the outcome -- generally different people are attracted to different routes. Not everyone deserves to be a senior IC/SME.
FTFY: To be clear, this is more a criticism of _every browser's_ security model,...

I do agree with you though. What is surprising is that technically, this should be fairly easy to solve:

- own the CI system (to make sure the sources match the built versions)

- make sources (the ones that went into build) clearly visible

- disable silent updates

Those numbers seem very unlikely. Ignoring that California is a nonrecourse state. If someone ended up owing 1.2 mil on a 500k house, they could walk away and only be out the house and whatever payments they had already made on the loan. The risk of massive correction simply isn't borne by the individual (especially if they've bought the property in the past 5-10 years).
There are a couple tools that will extrapolate your location from a bunch of location sources and apply it, to, for example, images and videos that don't have direct GPS metadata. The only tool I've used is https://exiftool.org/geotag.html

(I'm a huge fan of ExifTool: I wrote both the ruby and node wrappers for it!)

FWIW I will be adding this location extrapolation to PhotoStructure at some point soon, as all my dSLR images don't have GPS tags.
I would disagree, most of what was brought from Classic OS was ported, adapted, out of necessity and short lived. OSX was an entirely new operating system that ported some frameworks and software but wasn't backward compatible. Were it so, they wouldn't have provided an emulator.

I think you're just supporting the original assertion that Apple does not support things for very long. Does Software written for OS X v10.1 run on Catalina today without using 3rd party tools or emulators? Software written for Windows 95 still runs on Windows 10.
That makes a lot of sense. Thanks again.
And make sure that phones aren't getting messages and bleeping during the night when wifi is on.
I think accusing something of being PC implies it's not actually correct. So if you're saying one of these is more PC, that's a claim that it's less factual. Otherwise gravity is PC, 1 + 1 = 2 is PC.

Even if Google did do that (which they’ve shown no signs of, and they are still far from a browser monopoly when you look at iPhone etc) it wouldn’t stop HTML from being read. Translating from HTML -> GoogleHTML wouldn’t be meaningfully different to translating it from Markdown.

Actually, the reason for why Chamberlain unfairly gets a bad rap is because Britain needed the time to rearm in response to the growing German threat. Going to war over Sudetenland would not have been the right time. Appeasement was always meant to be a short-term solution, not a permanent plan.
For reference, Netflix's traffic requirement for OCA is 5 Gbps, IIRC.
Some people might not want to give a phone linked to them to certain people while attempting to remain anonymous.

I don't disagree this is less then the userbase of Signal, but I assume it shouldn't be hard to use a randomly generated ID (or similar) system as a fallback options for identifiers, and leave phone numbers as the default and recommended setting.
An alternative would be to throttle your network speed to like 2g with your dev tools, although this will obviously effect, say, YouTube more than HN
Either build very tall, high density housing to accommodate the population... or reduce the population drastically.

Long time listener, first time caller: You're into auto racing?! Link some stuff?
If California were its own country, would it try to build more housing or would it put up a border wall and halt immigration? It's clear to me that Californians would choose the latter, and I don't really blame them. Deep down, everyone hates change, especially the type of transformative change that is taking place in these California suburbs.

What does Lafayette owe the people of San Francisco?--or more accurately, the people that are not from California that chose to move to San Francisco? The revolving door that defines California immigration today, where wealthy young software developers go in and middle/lower class native Californians go out, is what is hollowing out the population, shifting the culture, and causing the homelessness problem, and building more housing isn't going to fix that.
It's common to believe that natural selection leads to an efficient effective result. This is a false and inapplicable. In the first place natural selection just means that the least defective, insofar as survival is concerned, changes that randomly occur pass on to the next generation. There is no guarantee of forward progress along any axis.

Secondly a human power structure a created thing needn't follow any such law. Success in society often depends more on perception than any objective measure of success. While bad decision making can put one out of business eventually there is no guarantee that the ones that follow will be more rational.
You're putting the cart before the horse. More commuters creates more ticket revenue, which gives BART more resources to expand capacity. They're not going to expand capacity until there's more demand.
That is part of the ritual law, something a follower/disciple of Jesus is not required to do. In fact as a follower of Jesus there are no rules other than 2. Love God and love others. Everything else flows from that as far as the instruction gave like Jesus did in his Sermon on the Mount.

Someone who has said, hey I declare that Jesus is my Lord and Savior, and truly believes it will of course do things. Not because they have to, but because they want to.

This is a wonderful idea, but by the given numbering scheme, I can identify a slew of problems.

[1a. If] Note
This is the first time we see synchronous calls, decisioning, and the representation makes no specific callout to the structure. The structure IS the case.

[4. Break] InconsistencyConfusion
This is the first time we see a specific part of the flow called out as the structure (it isn't a structure). This is flow control, not a construct. This confusion plagues the rest of the document.

[7. Switch (No Fall-Through)] InconsistencyConfusion
This is the same as If/elseif.../else/, but the post goes with the oddly specific "switch". Would be more appropriate as [1c. if/elseif.../else] and a [1d. Switch] - The different terminology if/switch does not change the fact they are the same structure. Grouping Switch-type by name is a bad choice.

[9. Local Goto] Omission
The Goto example has no exit node.

[11. Exceptions] Mistake
The exception travels the stack, meaning (from the perspective of the original parent function), from grandchild to the child, to the parent catch.

[12. Finally] OmissionConfusion
Finally should be it's own block, since it is treated as such and has an implicit catch mechanism, even if it's not always required in the syntax.

[13. Blocking, Synchronous Calls] Confusion
This is rather pointless. All the flows, prior, were blocking. Now introducing another metaphor that changes past examples is inconsistent. Blocks which are synchronous (blocking) are represented by 2 different forms. It's unnecessary.

[14a. Non-Blocking, Asynchronous Call, Callback] InconsistencyConfusion
There is a whole function called, which should be represented by a starting and ending node.

[14b. Device Input] InconsistencyConfusion
This isn't even a different construct. Event handling is what this is and is poorly represented, in the same way as 14a.

[15. Framework] MistakeConfusion
This isn't a construct, nor is it an accurate representation. Frameworks are a collection of idioms, which usually has little to do with constructs (as defined in the beginning). It feels like the author has gone off the rails here.

[18 Come-from & 19 Aspects & 21 Destructor] Confusion?
The size of the block is supposed to indicate a specific syntax, which is inappropriate for describing logical constructs. They should be full sized and optionally labeled blocks, as they are evaluated.

[20 Dependency Injection] Confusion
This is another "timing adds a new way to represent things" issue. There's no difference between an Aspect and DI, logically.

[22. Defer] *Confusion
Adding data (even a function) to a separate stack, which is called later, does not make the diagram presented.

All in all, this needs work.
Even the grouping description at the bottom does nothing to help make this more useful.

I generally agree, but it seems like jobs should also be moving away from the center? If there are a lot of commuters in Lafayette going to Oakland then the transbay tunnel wouldn't be relevant for them, but there would need to be capacity for local trains.

Or if the jobs were in the other direction like Walnut Creek, it would be a reverse commute.
Definitely critical for Apple TV+ if they want to compete with Netflix and Youtube. Though both of those together account for a quarter of the total bandwidth on internet, I'm not sure if Apple TV+ is anywhere close to that yet, but long term planning here.
What's to stop them from caching arbitrary content in the same way, for their own benefit, without the involvement of a partner? Is it because of SSL?
No, it's not related.
Doesn't make it smart.
The price the NIMBY in the parent's example would care about is the price of the SFH they already owned. That price goes up - it's now harder to find SFHs, and the land value is also increased because it could be turned into 4 units that will add up to more value than the prior 1.

https://www.latimes.com/business/real-estate/story/2020-01-3...

Here's an agent discussing this happening right now:

> Traditional sales comping remains relevant, but it should no longer be the single factor when determining price. Recent legislation allowing additional dwelling units (ADUs) is a game changer, as savvy investors and agents understand that accurate comps should now include not only neighborhood sales prices but also potential revenue from future ADU development.

> Gov. Gavin Newsom recently signed a slew of bills that will allow property owners to build a backyard home of at least 800 square feet or convert a garage, office or spare room into an additional living space. Single-family zoning effectively evaporated on Jan. 1 when the new laws went into effect.

If NIMBY's only cared about money this would be a fucking gold mine for them.

True, traveling on public transit is just more efficient in terms of space and energy.
Not disagreeing with your concerns, and I've heard some concerning stories regarding Namecheap and possible account compromises through means that weren't the fault of the customer and some privacy concerns, so I'm going to avoid them again. (was a former customer and left related to the above reasons)
Last time I did it, you had to place the backup in the correct folder before the first start of the app. See the Signal faq.

It is not the most user friendly approach, but it has been going through iterations and getting better.
This story reminds me of when I was a kid and the school bus would come. Often there were no seats because every seat was taken--one kid each. There was plenty of room there, but the kids who got on the bus first would ban together to prevent new kids from sitting.

Today these kids have grown up and own homes in the suburbs. New kids need to move in, but the kids who got there first refuse to let them build. That's what this story is about.
So New York is building a lot because they are building more than any time since 2015? Almost as much as they built in 2008? Is this a joke?
There are some facility and org requirements depending on the various company's rack setups, but most of that's standard.

The main requirement is how much traffic you need to be doing with the peer before they give you a rack - Apple states 25Gbps; more mature programs like Netflix are 5Gbps. Sometimes that's negotiable and they'll hand them out for even smaller traffic amounts (I've heard less than 1Gbps for some of those listed, though won't mention which ones). Like most things in this area of networking, there's a lot of variability and personal contacts involved.
Their classification is curious. It seems similar to Wikipedia's list of Quantity (Numbers), Structure (Algebra), Space (Geometry), and Change (Analysis). And yet, they put geometry under "Numbers" and don't really seem to address Algebra at all.
Given that there are wood and metal filaments, it may be possible (the flip side being the filaments are still only around 70% wood/metal, and are hard on extruders).
There's actually a fairly natural way of representing Result-like types (including exceptions) in a flow chart. Draw multiple "exit" terminals for the function, one for "success" and one for each error case. Then a function invocation can have multiple flowlines leading from it, one for each case. And one can "rethrow" the exception quite naturally, by having a flowline for a "rethrown" exception lead to an exit terminal of its own. This also applies by analogy to the case of multiple entry terminals, which come up most naturally when desugaring async functions.

(It's actually even simpler than that when accounting for the functor and monad properties of Result<T, Err>, but the graphical representation for a "functor" or "monad" is a bit more complex; these would be drawn as labeled regions, and functor and monad properties would describe how such regions can be "merged" or "combined".)
I came here to say comment on "The Intelligent Investor", too. If anyone is interested, I have a summary [0]. I recall Graham recommending that if you don't have time to research individual stocks to buy an index fund, but I can't find that in my summary. (My edition is the 1972 edition, I'm not sure if index funds existed in 1949.) If that is correct, then the advice to buy a mutual fund rather than individual stocks is completely due to the efficient market theory. Graham's logic was definitely not due to EMT, and given that he was a value investor, he would have rejected EMT, since you obviously can't buy at a discount if the market is truly efficient.

(I've never been able to figure out how EMT believers manage to maintain their faith in the face of rather large market corrections and well-documented bubbles, but that's not exactly related.)

> People find it too unpleasant to buckle down and type out that combination of string functions to left pad. It is less cognitive work to down load some library.

That's not the case though - why would I reinvent the wheel when I have finite time to get something done? I love to suss out solutions to all sorts of things on my own time, but if I have to left pad a field, I've already got lodash, I'm using that.

In addition, when someone goes back to read the code "_.padStart" just makes sense to read.

I'm not saying that understanding doesn't lead in repetition and effort, but I think you're wrong on why people use libraries. It's not because people don't want to know, they gotta get whatever it is they are working on done.
It was blatantly obvious that social networks are ideal tools for corporate and political propaganda. It was obvious from the very beginning, where people sung praises to Web 2.0 and "collective intelligence". Moreover, real technologists wrote about it, extensively, at the time:

https://www.edge.org/conversation/jaron_lanier-digital-maois...

If some "technologist" acts surprised by this turn of events now, I see only two possibilities:

1. They are genuine, but absolutely suck at analyzing how technology actually works in society.

2. They are liars who knew the dangers of such systems, but didn't find them objectionable because it suited their goals at the time.

What seriously disturbs me is that almost everyone from academia or big tech who engage in public discourse on this issue right now - almost all of them do act surprised.
