I’m not sure I follow. Are you threatening people’s jobs? Do you think you can reliably get away with that? This is the part where it doesn’t scale. You’re taking on an enormous risk to maybe swing a tight election by committing widespread extortion. It’s totally unrealistic and has nothing to do with voting in person, online or by mail. Your threat would apply to all of them.
Your friends are how representative of SF people?
1. Going on a road trip right now is a very bad idea
2. Most normal people don't have the ability (I guess if you're a high performer in tech?) to move to another high income English speaking country.
3. Moving to Santa Cruz is a joke if you're worried about cost of living.
4. Same with Austin.
I should clarify that when I wrote "speed", in my mind I was thinking of code navigation.

I found that tight language integration to the IDE/Editor makes jumping into new code bases in the language much easier. I've found refactoring also becomes easier.

So I guess I agree with you that for the very common programming task of "Thinking about the problem" tight language integration doesn't help much. But in order for me to gather data points about the problem, I usually have to jump in and explore the code base, which is where I feel the advantage comes from.
Accurate experience, I have some similar examples as well.

I am still considering if I should be like your friend #4 and go back to eastern Canada to wait out this disastrous response in the US. If only winter wasn't coming, I would have probably already left but my lease is only ending at the end of September.
That doesn't contradict my point. Both have a generic search list that combines multiple sellers onto one page, making the OP's statement "eBay does not use a consolidated product listing" incorrect.
The issue is that many developers don't care about learning to use version control effectively (as a biased git user would see it). They just see it as a means to an end, necessary evil for team projects, but overhead, mostly. They certainly don't want something they need to learn how to use (despite the fact that it's still relatively easy for novice users to do basic things).
Effectively Amazon is becoming the seller and the wholesaler, and keeping 75% of what a wholesaler used to make, While undercutting retailers, right?
> One example for instance is the vast amount of unique natural beauty surrounding the Bay Area.

But that's not what you move to most cities for. SF may be exceptional in having that stuff as well, but for most cities, if you lock down the social/cultural aspects, then the natural beauty is elsewhere.
Sqlite has an api for "virtual tables" that provides a fairly easy way to bolt SQL on top of things. https://www.sqlite.org/vtab.html

I haven't used it directly, but I did use a Perl module that hooks into it, and that made it very easy to cobble together. https://metacpan.org/pod/release/SALVA/SQLite-VirtualTable-0...
When a large-scale vote is really tight, there will be people questioning its legitimacy anyway, no matter if it's technically correct.

When a vote outcome is clearly in favour of one direction, people don't tend to argue about the legitimacy of it, provided the process was reasonable enough. In that case, the numbers might be argued, but not the outcome unless there is a stronger belief in vote-rigging or voter-suppression.

In the UK, it's quite easy for a small number of individuals to cheat in elections and double-vote, due to how voting wards are assigned when people move home, or have multiple places they live. Or to cheat by pretending to be someone else.

But we assume cheating isn't widespread enough to matter in the grand scheme of things (even if the occasional "wrong" MP did get in on a knife edge), and consider ease of voter participation to be a sounder basis of governance, compared with draconian identity-tracking schemes that deter representation because of all the actual people who for one reason or another would not participate.
You'll have to take it up with the APA, the authority on psychiatric disorders in the US and the author of that page.

Sounds like an existence proof rather than an actual algorithm. Still interesting even if it take a computer the size of the earth.

I'm also puzzled by the use of the word "convince" in there. Is it possible for such a quantum oracle to lie?

Re inventory numbers: this comment was originally posted to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24176859, which points to an article that (misleadingly, as this and other comments are pointing out) referenced only a 96% increase in inventory numbers. We merged that thread into this one, which was posted earlier and points to a more substantive article. (I know it's WSJ, but there are paywall workarounds in the thread.)

Teflon is bad enough in terms of persistent organic pollutants.

The PET in BoPet (Mylar) is one of the most environmentally favorable plastics in practice used to make plastic coke bottles that look like coke bottles also as "polyester" fabrics. The "Bo" is the part that looks complex to me in that mylar production involves a careful process of stressing it in two different directions while annealing it.

It is funny because I have been tracing out the path to manufacture large Kapton/Al films using asteroid materials. It is not hard at all to find an asteroid with the resources, but the trick is building a 'chemical factory factory' that can turn space hydrocarbons into plastic films, assembling that -- the Chinese think they could build a sunshade at L1 Sunward for $60 Trillion with Long March tech, maybe SpaceX can do $5 Trillion with Starship, but to make it cheaper than that you have to make it from minor planets and turn all the 'difficulties' such as 'working into zero gravity' into opportunities such as 'easily handle films larger than New Jersey'.
Gherkin is supposed to be for expressing human problems in a human-readable form, that also happens to be useful for computers. Using it to specify technical details of APIs (as opposed to, I dunno, writing some code to hit those APIs) seems like a really weird choice.
Reading the GP again, it doesn't seem snarky. They are just stating what they believe the definition is.

It's very easy to read emotion into an emotionless format like text. Which means it's very easy to devolve the conversation to anger very quickly.

Whenever an article like this comes out, I can’t help but wonder if the reporters considered talking to people with more diverse backgrounds. Since the pandemic started, my partner and I have talked about moving to lower cost of living areas, but inevitably we have to ask ourselves: “what would it _really_ be like to live in <X small town> for people who look like us?” In an ideal world, decency and merit win out over appearance and race in terms of how people are treated, but unfortunately that’s not the reality for many folks in tech.

I don't know if this is true for many people who live here. There is a subgroup of my friends who live in the city and will drive almost every weekend for 30-60 minutes with their bikes and kayaks for recreation. If you avoid the popular trails and rec areas (e.g., Muir Woods), you can get somewhere very peaceful fairly quickly. I think the balance between city and access to nature works for a lot of people who live in the Bay Area.

> But cities have enduring appeal - proximity to people and culture and things to do is just as much a factor as proximity to work.

Proximity to people may be something that loses appeal in the medium term.

This is a suspicion rather than anything that can be evidenced yet, we'll see how it plays out, but I think it might start counting as a negative, or less as a positive, for a while.
I think you have to realize this is San Francisco specifically. Not the entire Bay Area. A lot of people worked in places south of San Francisco and then commuted south because SF is basically the only city nearby that isn’t awful. But now that everything is closed down, all the good parts of SF are generally gone. Who wants to live in a cramped apartment with too many roommates and no yard? The trade was always that there were a lot of fun and interesting things to do and interesting people to meet. All of that side of the bargain is gone. With everything closed, most people would rather live in another part of the Bay Area where you can at least have a small yard and more space indoors.
When you have a product that is running out of flash and you want to deploy an update for your customers, you need that granular control.

From a performance/space standpoint there is decades of compiler optimization experience with IAR/GCC, I’m not sure micropython can achieve that.

> MicroPython implements the entire Python 3.4 syntax

Python 3.4 is now over 6 years old. Are there plans to add features from newer Python releases? Or perhaps the developers feel that Python's newer features wouldn't "pull their weight"?
I don't think we need to be that charitable. Seems well in line with the Amazon ethos to proactively control the narrative around them in online discussions.

Unfortunately, giving the homeless homes doesn't work.

It does though. Cities like Philadelphia and states like Utah solve it this way and both the homeless per capita + the return-to-homeless rate are nationally very low:

Together with our many nonprofit partners, the City provides 11,503 emergency, temporary and permanent “beds.” Last year we helped 970 families and individuals from-homeless-to-housed. Our permanent housing programs have an average 90% success rate in preventing a return to homelessness.

The article actually notes this:

> It should be noted that San Francisco had an unusually low inventory relative to other large cities prior to the pandemic. Historically, the ratio of homes for sale relative to total housing has been a quarter of New York's.

But then they go on to assert that this is important regardless, but don't actually provide any information to back it up.

> Regardless, the 96% year on year change in inventory marks a significant moment.

I would assume if it was so self evident, it would be easy for them to include even a sentence that alludes as to why.

They say other nearby markets don't see the same shift but other nearby markets were never like SF anyway, so I'm not sure why they would indicate something in a market already known to be dissimilar.

Edit: I and the parent comment were referring to the SFGate article from another submission that got merged I to this one, as we were before the merge.
If Amazon chooses to let counterfeiters etc sell on their website, why should they not be held accountable for that? Maybe they will finally show interest in what the heck they are showcasing on their own platform.
You are absolutely right on the "availability". Most of the time I've ordered groceries online which requires me to place orders days before delivery. Due to the minimums (90€) I had to bulk purchase and somewhat plan meals. This reduced my grocery shopping occasions to 2 occasions per months and there was no instant gratification (sweets, fast food, "bad stuff") possible.

That said, after the first couple of weeks my taste buds somewhat changed and I taste sugar in raw cooked vegetables (carrots, brokkoli, brussel sprouts). I now love raw, frozen vegetables without any additions steamed in the microwave or steam cooker. Great vitamin and fibre source and one can add even a high-fat dipping sauce or some cheese without screwing up the calories.

Very interesting!

Fun tidbit: for TV actors, regularly reading pilot scripts and then watching the produced pilot for comparison is a huge common educational technique. You get to imagine what kind of acting and directorial choices you'd make, and then see what was actually done. Often times you'll realize you had totally misinterpreted what a scene was even about.

It's also fun to see how every script is filled with lines that are "unactable" -- there's just no way any real person would ever say anything like that. Then nine times out of ten, those lines are cut from the final product, because even the best actors couldn't make them work.
Post hoc rationalisation, but okay. My non-technical friends know exactly what a whitelist/blacklist are but none of them have ever heard these new politically correct terms.
I think in modern parlance Common Lisp uses a gradually typed system, at least some implementations.

Common Lisp allows for type inference and some compilers use that to various degree, as well as to declare a type of a given symbol (or the signature of a function). Depending on compiler and optimization settings, that information is then used to generate optimized code, much like a compiler for a (weakly) statically typed language would or detect mismatches. SBCL is probably one of the most advanced Common Lisp compilers in this regard.

>Your friends are how representative of SF people?

OP didn't say that. They said that their anecdotal experience matches the argument in the article. Somehow you decided not only to argue with OP on this point, but also to argue about the way OP's roommates and friends decided to handle remote work (from taking a road-trip to moving back home to Australia). What's your reasoning for that?
Hardcore History is amazing
Er, there's plenty of natural beauty, hiking/cycling/camping, & peaks higher than Mt. Tam east of Rockies, and even east of the Mississippi.

Otherwise, your point about there still being plenty of healthy ways to get out of the home, both practically and in accordance with official guidelines, is well-made.
I always had to fight with corporate DBAs to add indexes - they never wanted to create them because it made their backups take longer so instead they made everyday usage slower for everyone.

One poor woman I worked with used to come in every day and kick off a bunch of queries that would do a couple linear scan of a database and take four-six hours to complete. I added a single one column index and the same query ran in less then a second. Got a hug on the spot. The DBA was upset the backup took a couple minutes longer to complete but when he complained he got into trouble for not profiling the queries and adding the index himself (ha!).

After that I started using SQLite for a lot of things - instead of confronting the DBAs I’d just dump the official database into an SQLite database and run all my queries against that. Was kind of amazing that you would have these huge Oracle clusters supporting a database with a few tens or hundreds of megabytes (not even gigabytes) of data but perfect size for slurping into SQLite on my desktop.

I don't think it's inconceivable that there would be a product where you'd have ample storage and CPU power for your application and would want to optimize for speed of development instead. I've built things on MicroPython that would be just fine to ship as they were, for example, if I were to commercialize them.
Personally I prefer UPDATE JOIN as I've used it in mysql:

UPDATE inventory
INNER JOIN (SELECT sum(quantity) AS amt, itemId FROM sales GROUP BY 2) AS daily USING (itemId)
SET quantity = quantity - daily.amt;

I had thought postgres could do it this way without the extra FROM syntax, but apparently not.
> Unfortunately, giving the homeless homes doesn't work. For the economically disadvantaged, of course providing free or low cost housing is helpful and welcome.

I'd question your stats about mental illness and substance misuse disorder, but even if we accept that most homeless people are either mentally ill, or addicted, or both: how do you expect them to engage with treatment when they're living on the street?

"Homes first" is a key part of many homeless health programmes. See this example, called "housing first": https://hfe.homeless.org.uk/about-housing-first

We really really don't need to go back to the days of asylums that held people for many years for relatively mild mental ill health.

Current Prime Minister Modi was in the ad of "Jio" company which was aired in national tv channels after he got elected. That company funds the BJP party to which Modi belong. By giving the money to "Jio", the money is being routed back to the party in the form of donations. By the way in India the party does not have legal obligation to show where the money comes from or how much. The BJP party is just a product of religious group called the RSS which wants the society to be based on strict vedic hindu religion. Vedas advocate the society to be 4 level hierarchy with priest's (Brahmins) at the top of the hierarchy and believe that education must be restricted only to the priest's for the good of the society. Not surprisingly majority of RSS members at the top level are Brahmins. India was a vedic society prior to the british colonization. This is the reason majority of the indians are 1st generation college graduates even though they were rich and owned a lot of land.
Nice how browsers have trained people to be scared if there's not a lock. It's just an expired cert, not revoked, and you're not entering payment information.
Sure, that's the case in SBCL - the type inference engine in it is rather advanced; with type declarations here and there (which are capable of turning Common Lisp into a weakly statically typed language), they are capable of type-optimizing a lot of code. It also generates warnings in case type mismatches are detected at compile-time.
That'd be cool – I'll definitely consider it! Adding to the backlog :)
