Dunno how I'm expected to read that article while a jumpy vid is playing next to it on the right, being nailed to the screen despite my scrolling, and a keyboard-focus-stealing popup opens on the left, covering the content.

Regarding Doctorow, afaik he took the Audible-avoiding course years ago, negotiating with his publisher that the audiobooks are to not have DRM. I went through his books in 2018, so the story must be at least that old.
That's a pretty different scenario. To recap: Palo Alto excludes anyone who isn't a resident (or guest of a resident) from using Foothill. At all. For any amount of money.

There's literally a gate with a guardhouse (with a guard) at the park entrance on Page Mill Road. They don't let you in without proof that you live in PA. You could, of course, hop the fence further up on Page Mill...

As for a wedding: you're paying for semi-exclusive access to the park because a large wedding or other event may be depriving other park users access and/or may cause excess litter which needs to be removed at taxpayer expense. That residents receive a discount on special event fees just means that they have already partially payed the fees via taxes.
On top of this, if you buy a house that is 40 years old, it's more likely to have problems and deteriorate in the future. Housing is, frankly, terrifying as a financial asset. If it goes up, great! If it goes down, you can easily lose YEARS worth of wages when sold at a loss, if you're able to sell it at all.

I would have not much of a problem living in an old place. I'd have a lot of skepticism to conquer about purchasing one.

Yeah, I agree that not elaborating on this was unfortunate (but elaborating would be tangential, as relatively few people are familiar with Emacs Lisp).

I think Emacs Lisp is in the "easy to improve upon" category because of:

* lack of namespaces
* dynamic binding by default
* spartan standard library

I do love parenthesis though :)
Yes...there's a picture in the article. Same item.
I've been using the beta version of Nova for a few weeks now and I've almost used my trial period for the 1.0.

As a TypeScript developer, if someone made me choose between paying $99 for the actually-free VS Code, or buy Nova, I would by VS Code without hesitation.

Before it began getting long in the tooth I was a big Coda fan. On the whole I like VS Code but I do suffer the occasional runaway process so I am open-minded to a new editor from Panic.

Nova is faster than VS Code, but barely. I like the default rainbow indentation, though I'm sure there's a VSC plugin for that. The contextual spell-checking is excellent and I know it's a better experience than any VSC plugin.

But this thing can't even auto-format a comment block. You can't set format-specific options (so for instance no line-wrapping on only Markdown/MDX files).

The default editing experience is lightweight, and that's a good thing. But the plugin story is dire. Plugins like ESLint and Prettier crash constantly, requiring an app restart. Prettier has a format-on-save behaviour that seems to format after save on some file types. Typescript cmd-click definitions are broken, cmd-click import filepaths are broken.

It's not a bad effort but it speaks to how much ground they have to cover to get within the same galaxy as the VS Code experience. I genuinely think it'll be years before they can charge for this with a straight face.
> California doesn't charge out of state tourists extra to visit their state park system. That would be absurd, as it's a public park for public use.

Many states do in fact do this; I don't think it's so absurd (not saying I necessarily agree/disagree with the practice). Certainly, there's much less of an institutionalized-racism aspect with such boundaries at a state level, than a neighborhood/city level.

E.g. in Massachusetts: https://www.mass.gov/guides/parking-at-massachusetts-state-p...
He triumphantly claimed several times that a particular issue or legislation was now
"Dead, buried, cremated"
California has a shameful past of adding racist restrictions into real estate through title documents and other means (ex. "no person of any race other than the Caucasian or white race" may use or occupy the property, with the exception of "domestic servants of a different race domiciled with an owner or tenant."). This meant as neighborhoods built up and out, people were excluded from them on the basis of race. Home values go up, and the wealth of those allowed to purchase property goes up along with it.

After some time, those restrictions became legally unenforceable, and then over more time more and more of those restrictions have eased and now things are a lot more egalitarian on the surface, but the racial discrimination of the past has already done its harm and contributed to white wealth and black and brown poverty and now these neighborhoods maintain their racial disparities without having to have it encoded in law. So, having residents-only restrictions on parks are, intentionally or unintentionally or accidentally on purpose, a way of keeping people out of the park based on race, and thus, unconstitutional.

>A city-enforced "residents-only" neighborhood, for example, would be 100% illegal.

Where? AFAIK gated neighborhoods are common all across the US, and in many cases (though not all) the roads within such neighborhoods are still owned by the city.

Cities only operate under authority delegated to them by their state anyway. So seems pretty reasonable to think of it as state owned/controlled, even if the municipality is the legal entity that owns the land.

> Apparently some people go as far as replacing themselves with a tulpa they've created (they call this ego-suicide).

Sure, but I wonder how useful that is. After all, you're replacing one ego with another. Before, the controller was this group of processes running on this slice of the CPU, now it's a different (but similar) group of processes running on a somewhat shifted slice of the CPU.

Maybe if the new processes are better in some ways then it would be worth it? Less anxious, more confident, something like that.
Interestingly enough they seem to nickle and dime residents for usage of their own park too: https://stateparks.utah.gov/parks/sand-hollow/park-fees/

It's definitely foreign to me when I can park my car for two weeks at a California state park for cheap, and backpack through half a dozen state and national parks, without hiking down to each ranger station and stuffing a $20 bill in the box.

The top of the readme for that repo advises to use the fork: https://github.com/cowrie/cowrie
The Quest has a resolution of 1440 × 1600 per eye. So the 50% more pixels works out to 20% more scan lines (1920) and 27% more pixels/line (1832). 90 Hz has potential perhaps via PC link.
You missed the best/worst part!

> But Facebook's policies make that "standalone VR" magic harder to recommend this time around. As we've previously reported, Quest 2 requires a Facebook account to function; without one, you cannot run the system's built-in fork of Android, nor can you toggle the system's "developer" mode and sideload VR-optimized Android apps of your choosing. (Speaking of: New rules coming to the Facebook VR developer portal will soon force anyone who wants to sideload apps to either supply a working phone number or a credit card. Yes, that is separate from the FB account requirement.)

> Quite frankly, I had designs on testing Oculus Quest 2 with a burner Facebook account. I'd set one up years ago with a spam email address, and Facebook's reps asked me for my Facebook account address before they shipped me the review unit. I gave them my burner profile URL, then went to reset the password. By wrongly typing my new password one time, I was locked out. "Please send us proof of your identity," the site sternly warned me.

This is just the start of a long long section of the article on how Facebook will, at the drop of a hat, ban you, remove access to all your purchased software, & how invisible moderators haunt all your VR spaces.

All-in on evil, cruddy, awful policies. An affront to general-purpose computing as the world had known & enjoyed it.
Ok - so it sounds like it’s actually not really a problem at all this time around, but if there had been game changing features it might have been?

My guess is that Apple would have taken this into account when scheduling the release.

If there was some marquee feature where day 1 support was important, this would have been part of Apple’s planning.

It’s clear to me that this is really not a big deal at all and that the original author - not you - is trying to manufacture outrage where none is merited.

It’s also not clear to me that any significant end users would have reason to expect most apps to be updated on day 1.

Apps have simply never adopted all the new features they could, day 1 or not. Often adoption has been gradual. Even things that are very obvious like screen size changes sometimes have taken months to be supported.
Frankly this is why I avoid web dev like the plague.

The situation is much better in desktop dev / back-end (jobs might be scarcer though).

Probably legal, but antisocial.

The only logical remedy is to card everyone going into any other city park in California. If they are a Palo Alto resident, no entry. If they are from anywhere else, come on in.
Yes but I would be frightfully annoyed if my own evacuation from a burning plane was impeded by someone’s unproven attempts at trying to lower their COVID risk.
Nearly all parks and libraries and other public places & services in the US are exactly what you describe... there is no such chasm. The reason this article was written is because of one single ugly exception to what is a vast system of public access to community centers, libraries, parks and other open spaces. Please don't make assumptions and jump to the incorrect conclusion that a single example suddenly means that's how it works everywhere.

There was gorgeous old architecture to be had on the cheap, if you were okay with a couple crumbling vacants on the block, trash everywhere, poorly rated public schools, overflowing weeds, and frustratingly difficult access to the ostensibly adjoining trendy neighborhood (the ones I was looking at were separated by a half mile with a single cross street, where blocks in each of the neighborhoods are probably 4-500 feet long).

There just doesn't seem to be anything worth building towards, or anything much more meaningful than trying to keep close to what few friends you can.

For those asking abstract questions about how this is different from access restrictions on various other kinds of public facilities - it's probably worth reading up on a bit of Bay Area history for context with 'East Palo Alto' and 'blockbusting' being two good initial search terms. There's a long history of, to put it very mildly, efforts to keep the wrong sorts of people out, all across the Bay Area.

I have the same reaction to THC, smoked the stuff once, and convinced my friends that I was actually dying so they dumped me off at the hospital. Never touched the stuff again. If you have anxiety issue THC can spike them and cause you to go into a full blown panic attack and a full blown panic attack when you are stoned is one of the worst experiences you can have.

It was a true PDE, not an ODE. The circuit was non-trivial, but though I knew PDEs at the time he told the story, I'd never used them on electronics (only heat / pressure flow, and other physical engineering stuff) so I couldn't really understand what he was saying.

Blame in an engineering context is rarely if ever productive. But, if you have to blame, you really need to check if the issue was raised to management before you blame. In this case I'm pretty sure the issue was raised, so it's not really on the engineers.

Once again this is traditional old foreign policy activity. We are probably doing the exact same spying on them. I'm not saying it is right, but it is accepted as a reality.

Kind of like you do in this sentence: "Inner city minorities have been voting for gun control (good luck getting the cops to show up let alone promptly in some places) since long before climate change was a thing."

> Hard to imagine how "free riding" a public park would work

Parks require upkeep. Parking lots and trails must be maintained. Litter must be picked up. Police are needed to evict anyone camping (you'd be surprised how often this happens in California). If you're a resident, your taxes pay for that upkeep. If you're a non-resident, you're free riding.

Banning non-residents is a dick move, but it's unclear how it's unconstitutional. Honestly, I think usage fees would benefit both sides. Non-residents could enjoy the park, and the city wouldn't have to worry about a potential burden on their budget.

This is cool, but I've always felt buddhists make this too big of an issue. Yeah, the ego is just a process, like any other, but it was probably created as a result of some selection mechanism.

I'm pretty sure in a situation of conflict, it's beneficial to kick the ego in higher gear. Sure, when things calm down, relax that thing. I feel pretty strongly that's the evolutionary reason for having an ego to begin with.
Not to mention that trying to evacuate from an aircraft while in a tent or climbing over someone else's tent is probably not ideal.

protoc plugins have an interesting bootstrapping problem as well: the protoc-gen-$LANG interface requires the ability to ser/de protobuf messages that describe the proto file's AST. If your build system builds almost everything from scratch, including the protoc plugin, this means that you need to have a variant of your protoc plugin linked to a working proto implementation...

That's not to say this is impossible or even difficult, but at the time that I last looked at it (more than a year ago at this point), it made it fairly unpalatable to move the codegen from Python to Rust.

Numerical solution of PDE is not really a solved problem. If your PDE involves shockwaves or turbulence (which happen for really simple PDEs) then the methods to compute solutions get incredibly fancy. There's no "black box" solution for numerical PDE, as there is for ordinary equations.
