That sounds a lot like people just use whatever materials are locally convenient. Which also explains the popularity of wood framing in the US.
Burlingame, one of the wealthiest cities in the Bay Area, has a decent mix of multifamily and single family housing. The last time I checked, it was about 50/50 renters owners. Given the exorbitant prices to buy a house there, the rents are somewhat reasonable (quite a bit cheaper than SF, starting at about $1800 for a one bedroom). In spite of this, it still is very racially homogenous (very few African Americans or Latinos). Additionally, the schools tend to be mostly homeowner's children -- very few families rent there in order to give their children access into the top ranked public schools. Based on the real world example of Burlingame, it's not clear that changing the zoning rules will lead to the outcomes that the study authors hope for.
That's exactly what I think would happen if we tried to use angular units for days or years (or even months): we'd either end up back where we started with a ~360-based system with lots of divisors or a percentage system. Exactly why I choose to use Tau in at least one example because radian systems using Tau are much are obviously "percent of the pie chart" than Pi examples.
The book "White Fragility" was rejected pretty soundly by most leftists, actually. Corporate pseudo-progressives loved it, however. I definitely agree that a lot of people are coopting leftist languages. But ultimately, corporate diversity consultants aren't leftists, they're delusional neoliberals.

Here are criticisms of "White Fragility" from a leftist perspective :

As you can see, there are a lot of them. I definitely agree with your criticism of White Fragility , and so do the vast majority of leftists. I'd attribute the stunningly deficient thinking behind it to trying to explain why we still have the divide starting with the assumption that our economic and political structures are fundamental good, which they aren't, but a less charitable and a bit more cooky explanation would be that it's a classic case of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.
I might be wrong, but isn't there already a precedent for something similar in the form of the XNU kernel? From a cursory glance, it is basically a BSD and a Mach kernel running side by side.

Perhaps I should have been clearer, but the "code" section within each chapter is not "from scratch". The "construction" section is "from scratch" in that it only uses numpy (not scikit learn). The scikit-learn part is just so new users can see how these could be fit in practice.
It's certainly not just about safety. It's about the combination of safety, expressiveness, productivity, and various other factors.
Or even just stop lobbying the city to make it illegal to build houses.
I’ve just enumerated the use cases. For them, a simple “That is not appropriate” or “Imagine what would others think of you” would be examples to shame based instruction. It is perfectly OK to invoke the fear of a loss in social connection if certain rules are broken, that is one of the ways we maintain social cohesion as desiring, driven, id-possesing beings. In contrast, toxic shame is using this machinery willy nilly anytime we demand cooperation as parents or peers.
Research questions that could have a big social impact, organised by discipline
Why Doctors Hate Their Computers (2018)
I tend to agree that it is problematic to embed so much power into local governments. They are ill equipped to handled the research required to make those choices meaningfully. The smaller and poorer the towns, the less equipped they are to be informed.

There is a kind of loop that happens in this debate, though.

1. we want progress,
2. progress requires money,
3. money requires growth
4. growth requires change
5. change is not always progress...

Whether or not you agree with the premise of any items on that loop, it seems to happen that the loop is the refrains of all small governments (and maybe large ones?) who need to fund all of their actions out of current and future receivables. Without changes that increase property value (and therefore taxes), many small governments in the US have few levers for progress. If they levy higher taxes in other forms, it puts a regressive burden on their poorest members, if they do nothing then they can't be progressive.

I tend to think of the shortcomings as a matter of debt, mostly. Debt is the ultimate anti-progressive force, since it sticks around long after mistakes have been made. many municipalities have increased levels of debt to keep up with the levels of progress they require, but the debts need to be funded by future revenues, which means growth in future revenues.

An uncomfortable conclusion of this is that even if our smaller governments acted with the best of intent, They will be left paying for their mistakes for many years to come, and that those financial commitments to projects which did not pay off in hindsight may cripple their ability to make correct choices now.

I've been remote for the bulk of the past decade. There is definitely an increase in opportunities. I decided to live close enough to a metro area that I could get an in-office job if needed. And I did for one year before going back to remote work. Your career progression probably is slower when remote, in particular if most of the company goes to an office, and in larger companies. You'll have the best shot at growth in smaller companies who are 100% remote. You also do limit your job options, so if you job goes south, you might feel a bit trapped without local options for on-site work.

Mental health varies based on your own preferences. Self-directed, organized introverts thrive. Less organized extroverts... not so much. Remote work isn't for everyone, but if you enjoyed it for 6 month stints, you'll probably enjoy it for longer.

As far a family balance, it can't be beat. You do need to define and stick to some boundaries, both for family to leave you alone to work, and to put work away and go spend time with family. Be flexible, though - don't commit to a 9-5 schedule, and don't fill all your days with meetings. Give yourself days when you can take a 2 hour lunch with the family, and then make it up after everyone else goes to bed. Don't feel bad stepping away from your desk to see what kids are up to for a few minutes. Make sure your boss appreciates the benefits of that flexibility, that they also benefit by letting you work at the times when you are more engaged and productive.

Overall, you take a bit of a hit in career growth, but gain family time. I believe it is worth the cost, but that ultimately is something everyone needs to decide for themselves.

There are many reasons:

1. They want the distribution effect of the app store. You can go from zero to king overnight if the app store features your product.

2. Unless you're building a dumb wrapper around a CRUD backend app, most apps need access to the state of the art API. Especially if you're aiming high, chances are, you won't be able to find a new app idea without using the new APIs because the old APIs have been experimented on by millions of developers already.

3. Apple has declared recently that they're going to cripple the browser localstorage and cookies so everything gets reset if you don't use them for 2 weeks. I think they will do this more and more (it's also good for user privacy so they do have a moral high ground)

>If iOS is a monopoly then so is Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo

I see this excuse all the time. So what if X, Y and Z are a monopoly? The problem isn't monopolies. You are stuck on a word that makes no difference. It is abusing your market position that is the problem. That is what got Microsoft punished and it is what Apple is doing now.
How does ATS provide safety guarantees without additional semantic information about the C code it’s linking to? If it does require that, then you’re in the same boat as Rust: your choices are trivial interoperation with no safety at the interfaces or encoding the semantics of the C interface in the new language. The only difference I can think of is built in ability to inline C from headers (based on your comment about kmalloc), is that the case for ATS?
> One thing to worry about with adding any language (including rust) to the kernel, is that the next good looking language will probably interoperate well with C and not interoperate well with Rust. So there is a much higher cost the second time you try to add a language.

This is something that Rust is acutely aware of. There have been many discussions about the idea of a higher-level "safe ABI", such that languages with notions like counted strings or bounded buffers could interoperate with each other without having to go by way of an unsafe C interface.
A few minor corrections: AltStore does allow sideloading arbitrary IPAs, even on the non-Patreon version, and IIRC Cydia Impactor is currently broken for free accounts.
“It' funny to me that both sides of american politics would claim they agree with this while saying it's the other side who wants to divide people and they are both right”

I think this paragraph is spot on.

I often like to ask people how they would feel if the “other” side had done/said the same thing “their” side is doing/saying now. Most often it seems people get mad at who does or says something and no matter what it really is. It’s a pretty sad state of affairs and will harm the country more and more. They are already setting up the groundwork for half the population not believing the outcome of the next election which will erode things even further.
I have a hard time seeing this get much traction. The use case for tractors is that you don’t need them all the time, but often when you do need them you need to use them almost continuously. Having to stop for a three-hour charge is almost a non-starter.

This is a bigger issue for larger tractors — when you are harvesting, you just can’t stop. You have to go nearly around the clock until you’re done. You don’t normally use a utility tractor with a front end loader attachment for that. But even for utility tractors, stopping in the middle of a job is an enormous downside. If you are baling hay or drilling fenceposts or loading hay bales, yuo are at the vagaries of the weather and the available daylight. Being able to quickly refuel is a big deal.
> Microsoft got nailed for bundling Internet Explorer in with Windows

This was actually overturned during the appeal. Whether the act of bundling IE with Windows would have been itself an antitrust violation was ultimately never decided by the courts. (The OEM stuff and other actions by Microsoft were ruled to be antitrust violations, however.)

I agree though I saw that as outside the scope of this book. I tried to be clear in the introduction that the book is a "user manual" of sorts that simply shows how to construct models, rather than how to decide between them, what the benefits of each are, etc. That information is certainly important but I felt it had been covered more than adequately by books like Elements of Statistical Learning

Well, people want to live in safe neighborhoods with good schools, with a well funded police, etc. There's nothing wrong with that. It's not their job to fix the systematic issues in the US. It's not about race, it's about socioeconomic status.
The isolation I'm referring to is the effect of post-social media polarization that started around 2008 and the social isolation that seems to result from it, where the people attracted to QAnon are ones who are among the "left behind," in the progressive worldview. It's reactionary, as they are the focal point of a global movement whose defining attribute is that it uses these people and their culture as a symbol and a reference point to align against, so many of them resort to whatever community they can still find.

As right-biased as the two parties are economically, someone wanting to reduce immigration still has no-one to vote for. Even Trump gave nothing but rhetoric and unpopular, ineffective clampdowns on statistically negligible immigration sources, as any graph of US yearly immigration numbers will show.
I look forward to seeing it finished. All the classical stuff is there, but when you get to the hard parts, like the Inverse Dynamics Control and Joint Impedance Control sections, they're just headings without content.
Thanks. It was a fairly routine surgery (for the surgeon, not me) and all went well. I'm actually on my last day of pain meds so it's my last chance to use that excuse.

STAMP, and STPA in particular, is something I've been reading about, but failing to apply, for a few years now since my sister studied under Leveson at MIT. I wish I could sell it in my office. It's actually frustrating, a few of our partners are using it (or the ideas from it) to good effect but my own office is less than interested. Of course, my sister has encountered the same thing even though she's the one that brought it back to her office after returning from MIT. Their partners are using it after learning about it from her, but they still aren't (or are underutilizing it).
Sushi. Never eat "fresh" sushi. The reality is that fish destined for or sushi, other that tuna, is always hard frozen for a considerable period of time to destroy not just bacteria but a whole variety of parasites. It does work. Do not fall into the belief that freezing is not effective. Freezing is a common part of health codes for good reason. (It is also why I personally stay away from some forms of "fresh" fish.)

https://www.gov.mb.ca/health/publichealth/environmentalhealt...

"Parasite Destruction for Raw Fish: Seafood products to be served raw must: Have been frozen at a temperature of –20°C (-4°F) for 7 days or below –35°C (-31°F) for 15 hours, to destroy parasites that might be present."
This is not my first time hearing someone praising Elm's syntax and standard library. How does it compare to OCaml/F#/haskell?
The thing is, it was sold to current owners of single-family dwellings as a sort of “right” not to have too many neighbours to know them all, so if you take that away now, it is going to be unpopular.

I think part of this could be solved by just not living in the Bay Area, and choosing to live somewhere with a better zoning law (like Houston) and take a cycle to genuinely understand how politics produces that good before voting, I know that sounds crazy.
So talking about the harms of ethnic cleansing is moping in your book? This is an attitude I constantly see among Indian liberals. They ignore all the injustices inflicted on Hindus. Would you consider talking about the Holocaust as moping?

Hindu right talks about Kashmiri Pandits because nobody else does. Can you tell me why we must keep silent about their ethnic cleansing?

Show HN: Okeano – Privacy-friendy search engine that allows domain blocklisting
Hi HN!

I'm the developer and designer behind Okeano.

Okeano is a privacy-friendly search engine with a simple proposition – spend 80% of profits to help end ocean plastic pollution.

Currently we support domain blocklisting and !waves (similar to DDG bangs).

In order to provide true privacy, we're developing an in-house privacy-friendy ad network and management system. A beta should be ready in October. Currently Okeano displays no ads.

Appreciate any feedback.

- David

Edit: You can add/update your blocklist at https://okeano.com/blocklist
Then we can have a screenshots as a service, where you send in a bunch of screen shots, and the SAAS returns a suitably diverse range of models holding devices with the screenshots showing.

It could even be generated with a neural network so that you don't need to find or pay models, and you can configure what physical disabilities they might have.
I was going to comment similarly. The comment could be described as “inaccurate and hyperbolic”: if spelling counts, the second link does not say Linux was “forcing adoption [emphasis added] of HDCP.” Systemd stinks and I don’t care how it’s spelled as long as it’s sent to … nvm. And the Hyperbola devs have shown up, done the work, and ported pacman to their kernel, not making the mistake of listening to hyperbolic haters.
As a founder of a startup whose Mantra is sync, I couldn't agree more. No API developer looks at API design from this angle. In fact, in a few cases, the design actively prohibited these use cases (for obvious reasons).

Another aspect is intimating error conditions. One would be amazed on the myriad different ways an API fails and many do a poor job of conveying what went wrong, and how to recover, if possible.

I’d say more to do with technology available at onset of growth. Modern versus ancient in terms of cities. I found the marketing brochure in my mid-century house in Dallas, they really thought that the Jetsons was going to happen. Same house was built north of downtown Dallas from some horse farms and pitched country life with modern conveniences. The exurbs that reach damn near Oklahoma now are still pitching the same thing while my house is very much considered in the city.
> one could argue the latter is because they can get all the apps they want on either brand, and that would be an argument against one of the brands having monopoly power.

But that isn't true if they reject apps for arbitrary reasons, because then there are apps you can't get. Moreover, even if all the apps were available on both, the fact that they don't have to compete after device purchase means they can each charge a higher percentage as a fee, which in some cases will be passed on to the customer as higher prices and in other cases reduce the quality or quantity of available apps by starving developers of resources.
A common case that may be hit by this could be document IDs in combination with "link sharing" where knowledge of the document ID gives you access to the document.
Ask HN: React Tools
Honestly, I find React pretty cool - it's quite easy to get started and build a simple dynamic SPA. It's actually fun writing stuff in the React declarative style.

My setup consists of a Flask server which js bundles for SPAs. The Flask server also exposes REST endpoints which the SPA uses to load and save data in the backend.

Recently, I've been running into a couple of problems:

1. Mapping from what you see into the React code.

When developing static HTML pages, you can just use Inspect Element in Firefox to see how the elements on the page map to your HTML code. If you're using templates, the templates map pretty closely to the outputted HTML. e.g. this <div> in my template shows as a <div> in the final HTML. This is not true of React. I can't easily map the components I have in my .jsx files to the outputted HTML. I find that this increases cognitive load by a fair amount, since I need to keep the entire structure of my SPA in my head when I think to figure out where the code affecting a particular component lives.

2. Boring data handling.

Say I want to have a database of cars and I want to build a frontend that lets people add cars.

Now, I have a Car table in my backend database, I have a Car object serverside and I have a Car component in React. Writing this repetitive code is super boring, tedious and time consuming. Frameworks such as Flask or Django come with some ORM solutions which can autogen the HTML for your frontend, deal with marshalling data from clientside to serverside and also let you easily commit to your backend db.

So, 2 questions:

1. Is there an equivalent for Inspect Element for React?
2. Is there some sort of ORM solution for React?

Also, any tips or materials you have on React would also come in handy.
Even if Blender can't match any of these point solutions at their respective niches, I have to imagine there would be a ton of value in a team that all mostly works in a common tool they all know well a pipeline of Maya, C4D, Modo, Nuke, Houdini, Zbrush, etc strung together.

I'm just starting to learn Houdini, but with the OpenVDB support in Blender it seems like the most elegant workflow for someone without existing experience is run simulations in Houdini and then just export the volumetric data to Blender and work with it there.
