IANAL but I believe that you can always switch to a strictly more restrictive license because doing so is effectively licensing new changes with the new license. You can't switch to a license that is less restrictive without agreement of the owners because that would require granting additional rights to the existing code.

There have been a number of studies looking at this, but the TLDR is that globally most new construction is and always has been high-end compared to the surrounding market. What typically happens in a healthy market is the rich overwhelmingly live in new construction (or remodels), and everyone else lives in the places that rich people lived in 10, 15, 20, or more years ago. Since construction is durable, a luxury apartment building from the 70s should still be a nice place to live as long as it has been maintained. And if lots of nice new stuff has come in since then, the old stuff should be in less demand and therefore affordable.

The combination of both monitors allows me to check each of my designs both on a high-quality monitor, as e.g. a mac user would have, and on a low-quality monitor.

You probably also have encountered websites which are designed for tiny monitors, and end up with text stretched across 40cm (e.g. HN) or websites with razor-thin text that is basically unreadable on cheaper monitors.

As I work in UI/UX design, I want to avoid that issue :)

A guy rang my doorbell in Oakland and brandished a bank check for well over a million dollars to buy my house. He was a white American, though, so I don't get to build an awkward racist narrative around that event, I guess.
Apologies for the digression, I agree that law and morality are quite distinct.

I just think refusing to use copyleft is unwise on a strategic level. It smells like unilateral disarmament to me. If a warlord is rampaging through the countryside putting villages to the sword, it's not good enough to say, "Hey, I don't agree with stabbing people to death." It's great if you have a plan to stop the pillaging without stabbing anyone, but if you don't, then you need to consider plans that do involve stabbing, or at the very least fielding some stabbers. There may be times when all courses of action involve moral compromise, but inaction always favors the oppressor.

Do you have a plan for fighting copyright without using copyright? If yes, then I withdraw my objection. If not, then I ask you to consider whether using copyleft is better than nothing. The oppressive copyright system will continue doing damage without you.
I remember many years ago I came upon a giant shell script doing some data processing (data not even that large, maybe few GBs) that took close to 25 mins (mainly due to unnecessary I/O due to tons of temp file creation) - written by "developers". I re-wrote it in Perl and it completed in less than a minute (and it wasn't even optimized because I was a non-CS newbie who was just learning Perl). I even setup a cronjob to compare the output from both and email to the concerned folks. It was never adopted because I was new and Perl was considered "too-risky".
There's a limited tolerance/buffer (a literal buffer: the distance cars keep between themselves) for the compression waves caused by humans "overbraking".

Once the buffer is gone, the whole system dramatically collapses to stop-go traffic jam.

It's why (theoretically) automated highway driving can increase the car throughput: they can gain foreknowledge and better "system planning" via mesh communication and consensus (they are motivated because without consensus the system crashes to traffic jam), and probably/possibly follow each other much more closely to maximize the use of the concrete geography.

Mostly unrelated: When I write heavily optimized code I prefer to write the stupidest, simplest thing that could possibly work first, even if I know it's too slow for the intended purpose. I'll leave the unoptimized version in the code base.

- It serves as a form of documentation for what the optimized stuff is supposed to do. I find this most beneficial when the primitives being used in the optimized code don't map well to the overarching flow of ideas (like how _mm256_maddubs_epi16 is just a vectorized 8-bit unsigned multiply if some preconditions on the inputs hold). The unoptimized code will follow the broader brush strokes of the fast implementation.

- More importantly, you can drop it into your test suite as an oracle to check that the optimized code actually behaves like it's supposed to on a wide variety of test cases. The ability to test any (small enough) input opens a door in terms of robustness.

This is a great point - but you have to remember the money is what dictates games that go "mainstream". Companies like Activision, Blizzard, and EA are going to push out something that has low-risk, high reward (Call of Duty, Assassins Creed etc.) rather than push the medium of games forward.

They'll leave the interesting "games as an art form" type idea to indie devs, and once some idea or concept has broken mainstream, they'll snatch it and tag it to a well known IP (see Battle Royale + Call of Duty) and call it a day

How to Highlight Text on Websites Using Text Fragments
>Here in the Netherlands masks aren’t required in stores, but people still wear them anyway.

I really disagree with your observations based on living in NL and visiting Sweden several times over the last few months. These are two very poor examples of countries where mask-wearing is prioritized and accepted.

The Dutch government only a week or two ago "urgently advised" wearing masks indoors, and even with that advice in my own experience a majority of people are not wearing one. Before that, hardly anyone wore a mask indoors. I've traveled to Antwerp a few times for work in the past few months, and the prevalence of masks there compared to NL is striking.

And Sweden generally has been quite averse to wearing masks in public...it's not ever been mandated anywhere, not even on transit like in NL.

By this analogy, (non-local) hidden variable theories are the ether of quantum mechanics: The ether determines the true value of simultaneity, and hidden variables determine the true outcomes of measurements.

For both theories the physics surrounding them just happens to make their presence undetectable. In the case of the ether, the ether wind just happens to shrink the arms of the Michelson-Morley interferometer by exactly the amount needed to prevent the interference pattern from detecting the ether wind. In the case of hidden variable theories, the predicted joint probability distributions just happen to make the hidden variable values themselves uninferable.
I don't recall non rent-controlled apartments dropping rents all that much in the Bay... ever.
there are ways to break a lease without penalty; I'd guess the qualifying circumstances vary state to state. also, some leases have explicit buyout clauses. I can get out of my current lease free and clear at any time by giving sixty days notice and paying an additional ~$2000 (a bit more than one month's rent). so if rents collapsed soon after renewing my lease, I could break even pretty easily by moving out.
I agree with you, and honestly I should have been more clear here.

I also think there are different definitions of "kid friendly".

Using a Ferrari to take your 3-month-old toddler to a doctors appointment? That seems like a waste.

> forecasts a future where streaming companies slowly increase their prices as bad as the cable television companies of yore.

Seems like this all has to do with how fungible consumers' preference for media is. If the viewers have to see the newest Disney film or the most recent season of a hit sitcom, then those who own the content can extract their pound of flesh. When a media property is strong enough that consumers demand it by name, it's a monopoly product with monopoly pricing power.

But if consumers show even a little flexibility, that puts drastic downward pressure on media prices. "We don't have This is Us... but we do have a very cheap back catalog of Grey's Anatomy that we think you might like just as much..." Now content becomes a commodity, and margins become razor thin. The surplus gets re-allocated and divided between cheaper consumer prices and those who own the algorithm. Netflix became the biggest media company in the world based on the strength of its algorithm not its media property.

One reason that cable company prices got out of control is because there was no effective mechanism for content fungibility. Higher prices were driven by ever higher carrier fees. If Comcast gets in a standoff with Bravo, it will always lose. A large segment of consumers demand Bravo, and Comcast had no way to deliver then any sort of satisfactory alternative. So carriers fees marches higher, which then in turn meant that consumer prices marched higher, since the cable companies were a monopoly themselves.

In the near-term the specific countours of the landscape and machinations of the business may push prices up or down. But in the long-run, algorithms are only getting better. There's no countervailing force making media branding stronger over time. The end-result has to be that the cost of media content asymptotically approaches its marginal cost: zero. Or more likely content just become a subsidized subsidiary of the tech gatekeepers that own the algorithms.
The one thing that absolutely kills my creativity is burnout.

Recently I’ve been writing about some of the lessons I’ve learned in the last decade working remotely.

Today I shared a new post about burnout and learning to block, for ourselves and our team.

What are you doing to avoid burnout?
There is currently an article (in German) in the Frankfurter Allgemeine called "The Demise of San Francisco" [0] in which the possible reasons for this are discussed. One reason given (which I cannot verify as I don't live there) is: people are fleeing the city because it has become a terrible place to live:

Quote from the article, Google translation:

> Jayson Hill recently stopped by his old apartment. He didn't feel sad that he hadn't lived in San Francisco since the end of August. Instead, he thought of all the things he won't miss: the dealers on every corner who go about their business so bluntly that passers-by can see money and drugs change hands. The syringes lying around everywhere. The human feces on the street and the unbearable smell of sewers. Hill once saw a corpse on the sidewalk who had obviously died of an overdose, a coroner had just come to the scene. Hill ran into drug addicts so often that he learned how to give Narcan, an antidote to heroin and other opiates.

> Hill was once threatened on the street and was increasingly afraid to leave his house in the dark. "It was starting to feel like a terrible nightmare," says Hill. During a farewell visit to his old apartment building, he heard that ten other former neighbors had given up their apartments.

> Nevertheless, some companies are now adjusting to the fact that they will need less space in San Francisco in the future than expected. Pinterest has accepted a contract penalty of almost 90 million dollars to get out of a rental agreement in a new office building. Twitter has just offered part of its headquarters to sublet. CEO Jack Dorsey has already said before that he no longer wants to be as focused as he has been in San Francisco. Other companies are also loosening their ties to the city. When the software company Oracle announced that it was relocating its annual mega-conference "Open World" to Las Vegas, the reason for this was not very flattering: It was not only the costs that were decisive for this decision, but also the desperate conditions on the streets of San Francisco.

Yes, the only non-tech stock, but as I'm not an American I wouldn't able to value it and I don't see how it could 10x again, so it's just not that interesting for me.
It depends. Give you an example: We have an expensive reporting workflow that needs considerable resources, but usually only once a month. Two ways to do this cost effectively: Scale down containers to zero, meaning several minutes of response time if you do need it ad-hoc sometime. At least as complex to configure. OR you fit it to AWS SAM. The latter has proven to be a good match for us. I solved the debugging story by keeping lambda functions AWS agnostic and wrapping them i a Flask debug server - will respond exactly the same but it is all local in a single process.

"You're probably not addressing me specifically, but there is no yelling in my comment."

Yes, my apologies for the implication. I deliberately wanted to pick a more sensible comment to post under.

"For the most part, I do not think we should discuss the limits of engineering, that is what's practical or not, because we're nobody to say what is practical to a type II or type III civilization."

There's two aspects to engineering we can talk about; fundamental limits, and whether we can attain those fundamental limits.

If you look up the concept of computronium, you'll find a discussion of the fundamental limits of data storage in our universe, for instance. Proposing an alien civilization that exceeds those is stepping into fantasy. We can sensibly discuss what just isn't possible.

On the other hand, given that the "fundamental limit" is "the number of bits you can encode on the event horizon of a black hole", it's at least plausible to consider that no possible engineering project could ever create such a storage device. It's hard to talk about the "what is possible" side.

I've got quite a bit of experience of doing coding stuff with kids - I set up the CoderDojo at The National Museum of Computing in the UK (paused at the moment), have run a Code Club at our local library, have two kids myself and am a Raspberry Pi Certified Educator. I've done quite a lot of Microbit sessions for kids and a handful of Raspberry Pi ones.

I really like Microbits for all sorts of reasons and they fill a very different place in the ecosystem to a Raspberry Pi. They are cheap and have a low entry threshold - I can get a kid doing interesting stuff on a Microbit in a matter of minutes, but there's still interesting potential if you want to go in an electronics direction with them. They are also fairly indestructible so you can let kids tinker with them more. There's not much you can do with a Raspberry Pi that you can't do on other computers without buying something like a SenseHAT or going down the electronics route. It's hard to do electronics with kids without close to one-to-one supervision.

I can see for older kids with tech-savvy parents who are willing to invest in electronics components etc. there are more possibilities with a Raspberry Pi and there is obviously lots of fun stuff you can do that you could never do with Microbits, but I definitely don't see them as direct competitors.

The other thing I will say is that I have noticed a bit of a personality thing too - some kids get super-excited by making the LEDs on a Microbit light up and so on and some really don't care. Different types of coding definitely appeal different to different children.
