Multi-Dwelling-Units. I'd never buy a single unit property to rent, as there's just too much risk tied up in a single tenant, but I'm very happy with my mixed 3 residential + commercial space in a small town.
You wrote that "Learning any mathematics is a complete waste of time." There are a variety of ways math could not be a waste of time; practical applications are only one. I don't mean to imply pure mathematics shouldn't be studied, only that I don't believe math was a time waster for me.

> According to whom?

I've talked to a lot of very good mathematicians, including people who've studied and collaborated with people in the HoTT orbit, and people from many other subfields. I'm sorry I don't have exact quantitative data for you.

> They are in the minority. Again, if you're arguing about consensus you can't just point to one or two individuals and say "look! They agree with me!" For goodness' sake, the thread your referring to is well-known partially because it was controversial.

Again, I don't think they're in the minority. Also, there's way more than one relevant thread. That particular fight was litigated over years.

> The content of Lurie's comment and yours are quite different.

He makes many comments on that post. I invite you to read them all. Certainly, I'm not just regurgitating what he says there, but it does provide an example of a top mathematician expressing skepticism about the entire enterprise.
In PowerShell, this is a native feature of the entire shell and hence scripts and commands.

The following prefix in a ps1 script enables the -WhatIf and -Confirm parameters:

[CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess=$true)]

To enable -Confirm by default for scary scripts, just use:

[CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess=$true,ConfirmImpact='High')]

The nice thing is that in PowerShell, unlike bash, this flows through to the vast majority of other commands. If the script has the snippet above, then you don't have to litter it with "if ( $userSaidYes ) { ... }" blocks all over the place.

Similarly, PowerShell automatically wires up logic to produce all of the useful modes you might want:

[Y] Yes [A] Yes to All [N] No [L] No to All [S] Suspend

This is very fiddly to implement manually, and "Suspend" is likely impossible for most shells.

If you have a Mac-only product and a good relationship with Apple, IMO their support can be invaluable. Getting featured and the like is very helpful.
I'm considering that. Mac has really gone a direction I don't like, and I have being use Apple since the screen is B&W.

However, this is to be expected from organisations that is powered by one charismatic leader.
The article mentions this:

> AppleTV Plus plans to make the “Peanuts” specials free to stream for nonsubscribers during short windows around relevant holidays. But as with HBO allowing PBS to air “Sesame Street” episodes after a period in which they’re exclusive to HBO, Apple’s decision emphasizes the restriction, not the limited availability. It underscores that Americans now have different levels of access to some cultural touchstones, dividing kids whose parents can shell out for extra services from those who can’t.

The author's point is less that it is less accessible now and more that it is less shared now. Streaming has a plethora of benefits over broadcast television, but unity (in the sense of "broadly shared cultural moments") is not one.
Currency differences would be a big reason. Currencies can shift against each other and if the dollar weakens or strengthens against the Euro or Yen or whatever, it would mean their payroll costs would fluctuate unpredictably.
I wonder if it could just be done as a plugin system. Developers should start taking note of this kind of stuff and anything that might ruffle the feathers of big media should go into plugins.

Do the digital equivalent of the way rich people use holding companies and shell companies. Put all the high risk stuff into the smallest independent repo possible and abandon it at the first sign of trouble. Use an MIT license so anyone can fork it and continue development if you have to abandon it.

It probably wouldn't even take a ton of money to set up a matching corporate structure so you could control everything. Put all the risk into a subsidiary that doesn't make any money (or makes very little). Drag out DMCA complaints until they sue you and then bankrupt the asset-less company. Rinse and repeat.

If you want to get super ballsy, sell the plugins that infringe, but siphon all the money out of the subsidiary with trademark licensing. That way you can license the same trademark to the next company to maintain the brand. Bonus points if you put the holding company in a tax haven.

IANAL. That's probably a really bad idea. Don't do it.

One thing I think people aren't pointing out is how much Figma seems to have done [1] to make the web platform work for them in the way Sketch is describing the Mac App. It almost seems like a technical moat of sorts. Achieving the ridiculous snappiness Figma in browsers is certainly non-trivial.

The way we approached this on my SRE team was semi-manual with improved ergonomics. We embedded the live traffic graph in the turndown tool, so it would be right in your face before you took the destructive action. Of course it was always possible to go one level down on the tooling and do everything manually, but it wasn't the usual way.
Ask HN: How to monitor usage per user to implement performance based pricing?
I'm curious how does one implement performance-based pricing, e.g. X bandwidth and Y storage for tier 1 plans, X2 bandwidth and Y2 storage for tier 2 plans. I've also seen memory and cpu limits in some pricing plans before.

As for database usage, how do you monitor how much storage the account is using considering the data is spread across multiple tables?

Is there a tool that does all these?
If not for Disney (and other entertainment megacorporations, but mostly Disney) pushing for vastly extended copyright, this would have been in the public domain around 1995 and you could have your own copy to play any time you like without any fear of getting in trouble. Anyone could broadcast it, as well.
For sure for sure. Make sure you find some other more interesting hobby and friends. Don't mean to do a dry cut. However, TV/shows are just another addiction! But like cutting all other addictions do it wisely.

Most importantly don't replace that with real human interactions.
My theory is they know exactly what they are doing and are still trying to clean house on DVD sales.
This may help you picture it.

"In the A600 the CPU is soldered directly to the mainboard and cannot be removed. Thus the only way to install it is to clip it over the CPU, using a PLCC socket placed upside-down. PLCC sockets are not meant to be used this way, so this is really a bit of a hack and might not even work in all cases. Space around the CPU is quite limited, hence the odd shape of this board."

Definitely not contemplated during the design/spec of the PLCC socket, I'm sure!
Separate point, but I absolutely loathe on-screen keyboards. They reduce my phone typing speed to literally 5% of what it used to be on my old Nokia or Blackberry.

Case in point - this comment would have taken me no more than 20 seconds to type, compared with over a minute on this ridiculous iPhone keyboard that gets every third or fourth letter wrong, and just randomly decides to capitalise words in the middle of a sentence.

I’ve been gifted my last few phones, but the next one I buy, I will seriously consider one with a hardware keyboard.
I'm not entirely sure you're replying to the correct comment, but just in case...

I mean the population of people who are more likely to be hospitalized due to COVID also happens to be the population of people that is more likely to be deficient in vit D, and neither of those things have to cause the other.
Yep.

In my experience, until you've made the mistakes that not properly parsing html leads to - you mostly jump to naive regex/substring solutions too quickly where you should learn/use well tested html parsing libraries instead. Those mo4re advanced techniques aren't always required, but they're worth knowing and once you know them it's smarter to "over solve" the problem sometimes than "cowboy it" with a regex just because it looks like it'll do the job.

I like to write native apps (Swift).

I won’t go into why (as everyone here seems to be trying to convince everyone else, who aren’t really listening, anyway. I’m not really looking to change my viewpoint).

Figma is cool. I’m working with a designer, now, and we’ll see how it goes. Not sure I’d really say it was a direct Sketch competitor, though. I think Adobe Illustrator is Sketch’s biggest competitor, and that says a lot about Sketch.
I'm guessing you don't read about the political situation in Chile and Argentina, which is why you're saying that.

Open source tooling would not materalize if bitstream formats were opened, at least not competitive ones. Why? There are already open source versions for synthesis and PnR , and while functional they are very far off the 'terrible' EDA tools everyone rags on Xilinx for. The reality is SystemVerilog is a huge language, and already an open standard yet no open source project supports it fully, so I don't believe for a second if bitstreams were opened we'd see a load of top class tooling appear for synthesis and PnR. The reason is if it has not happened for the first (and arguably easiest) step in the chain i.e. System Verilog, they why would it happen for the others?
The cropping shown on the website looks pretty spectacular.

Testing it, the accuracy of the of automatic cropping is on point, it didn't seem to have issue distinguishing items of the same color (for the most part). I couldn't test the drag and drop feature.

When saving the image it does not specify a file format, but to only save as png. It would be nice if the save window specified a format instead of "All files".
The ESP32 SDK (ESP-IDF) now is based on CMake and defaults to Ninja for the build target. They still support Makefiles as well but Ninja is quite noticeably faster.

Tesla’s has over the air updates for it’s autopilot software, you even edit destinations from the infotainment system. So, it’s clearly both on the same network and could be hacked remotely.

The car can even be turned on and summoned remotely. Which means if nothing else it could be remotely driven onto a freeway to cause accidents even if it’s ‘autopilot’ had some kind of independent backup safely system to avoid collisions.
The New Tyranny Few Even Recognize
As an amateur who nowadays works a lot with ZFC (but who doesn't know HoTT) and who is very interested in foundations, I don't think that learning HoTT is a waste of time, I'm sure HoTT is great and I'm glad there are people working on it. However, my time is limited, so I can't really afford to spend months going down a rabbit hole if it's not going to help me with my work. So I appreciate that you shared your experience, it was helpful in making me decide to stay focused on what I'm already doing.
Fwiw people use sketch for reasons other than designing interfaces. I'd think illustrator would demonstrate your point better.

As a non-tech hub guy, I think your last point probably isn't true. Where I work, the best devs are not on par with the Stanford/MIT etc. people, but we can hold our own quite well with the next tier down from New York, San Francisco, etc. (A lot of the devs here are from India originally but some are locals and the point stands regardless.) I've worked with a few of those people from big tech hubs on joint projects (one or two even went to prestigious technical colleges), and we had a high level of mutual respect and trust in one another's abilities. Whether my salary will trend towards yours or vice versa I don't know, but I definitely think I could have gotten a pretty big bump had I moved to San Fran. I don't because of many types of friction (laziness, family/friend/other relation ties, age, so on). If that friction goes away I assume we'll become more direct competitors.

D3 is also stored in fat, and released as fat is metabolized.
I'd imagine its similar to the whole 'hotdesk' topic. I read about hotdesks and how people hate them, but nobody I know in real life even knows what that is, much less works at a company with them.
Hmm, interesting theory...I think its more that forks are a thing - with a traditional product if snr mgmt dictates xyz must happen, rare is it even the consumer gets much say - with FOSS if it doesn't work right or does something dumb you can normally fork and go a completely different direction.

So I guess yeah if there are 100 ways to skin a cat you will get 100 different approaches, but then that's where the market comes along and mostly only the best 'rise to the top'.

Also, don't pretend complete re-writes with dubious value don't happen in big biz...its more common for something to be pronounced 'unworkable' and a complete rewrite mandate be issued, usually because a product had ossified to the point nobody knows what it actually does anymore, normally because companies are bad about investing maintenance time into code.

Since vitamin D is cheap and readily available, we don't need to wait before making sure we have enough of it.

Grip strength is another proxy for health, specifically how likely you were to die anytime soon. Makes sense. But training your grip won't make you live longer.

I never miss an opportunity to publicly restate just how god-awful XCode is. I think it is literally the worst developer tool I have ever come across. I don’t think I have ever heard one good thing said about it.

Coming mostly from a Windows desktop background, I only started developing for Apple devices late on. Holy shit, I can’t believe people have been putting themselves through that horrible experience for the better part of two decades.

Comments like these and the ensuing arguments are funny. Especially considering the supposed audience.

That said, I think Apple will offer both lightning and portless iPhones during the transition. They might make the "mini" phones be portless for example.
> Death is monstrous.

The one thing that softens the blow for me is knowing how many other people have been through it. It's an absolutely illogical attempt at rationalisation, but, you know, Einstein died, Beethoven died, my childhood cat died. Everything that has once ever lived but is not living right at this moment in time, has died. Death just IS.

My stupid quip is: "Well, they survived it, so I guess I will too".
Version control aside, Vivado is very good at what its intended to do, take RTL and synthesize, place and route, STA, and simulate it all in one tool. With plenty of higher level abstractions like IPI, etc. It's really good at visualisation and cross probing. I use it to check my ASIC RTL designs as it's better than the (way) more expensive ASIC tools. All sources needed to rebild a project are refered to in the .xpr project file. Project rebuilds are completely scriptable, it's really not thst opaque.
The killer feature of streaming is ad free, on demand content imo, not great content or accessibility to all the content. Netflix is replacing cable TV not all the great / transformative movies / tv shows you've watched in your lifetime.
Consolidation is just moving back to the old scenario of paying for a ton of content you're never going to watch and still being unable to stream arbitrary shows or movies. It's not like there's a service that will ever give you access to a library unpartitioned by licensing warehouses, and renting movies is too lucrative to ever open up to general streaming.

We're stuck with cable forever unless we fix IP law.

Yes, but in that case you need to reencode every video in realtime at playing. Maybe you speed up the process with capturing the different parts of the video in parallel and concatenating the parts in the end, but if you want good compression then you need to reencode the whole video again. This is far from just getting a video file from a CDN server. If you want to try it, just few line of code with MediaRecoder API in any browser.

“Just feels” is not a design measurement. Designing logos is a professional skill build with years of learning visual rules and practicing implementation. This logos are clearly designed in-house by someone without the knowledge of use of white space and contrast. Color must compliment a shape in logo design, here color fights with the shapes and is reason for eyestrain. Google is engineer centric company, in my view they never looked at design seriously, and never will. They bring iterative change to branding just for the sake of “change”. And people react, not without reason in this case.
> You wrote that "Learning any mathematics is a complete waste of time."

Yes, I was being facetious. My point is that by whatever measure pure maths is worth studying (i.e. those measure beyond "practical" applications) also obviously applies to HoTT.

> I've talked to a lot of very good mathematicians

You're an anonymous person on the internet, this is such a strange thing to fall back on. There are pretty standard ways of talking about how well-regarded/important certain subfields are in mathematics, "I've asked around" isn't one of them.

> I'm not just regurgitating what he says there

His comments express a substantially different point to yours.
He does not say that HoTT is a waste of time, or that it "doesn't have much content".
Not really, I've only seen in house systems

1. you need accurate, timely, and granular monitoring metrics, network is typically the hardest here

2. A quota system and control mechanisms

3. Databases limits are typically record based or you run a DB per customer / chargeable unit

Using VMs rather than Kubernetes makes things easier for you, but then you lose some opportunities for lower cost of goods

Of course, your options will depends on your pricing model and product. This is a large reason a common solution does not exist, another is where you run your services.
I am neither a skeptic nor a believer. But I want to share this story that happened. In 2005 when I started my first job, our first project was building a case ticketing system. It took us 6 developers, 2 testers and 1 PM to deliver the first iteration of the project after 3 months. Those were the waterfall days.

Recently I taught my wife how to write HTML. Last month she completed designing a pretty functional ticketing system working alone for 1 month on Microsoft Sharepoint. The system is complete with provisions for case escalations, teams / emails alerts, reports, groups etc.
Thanks to everyone who took the time to read it, and thank you all so much for all the feedback! I'm quite overwhelmed by the response :) looking to address as much of the feedback as possible by the end of the week.

A major weakness seems to be my choice of ES5. I wanted an almost absolute minimum, which ES5 seemed to be at the time. I was lead by the fact that most bundlers produce ES5 by default, which may very well have been a mistake.

Interestingly, if ES5 is really dead (which it might be, I'm not sure) and ES6 is the minimum target, the study's results would actually improve drastically (less verbosity, actual modules, etc.) and further support the claim that vanilla can be maintainable (even without build steps). For anyone interested, let's continue the discussion here: https://github.com/morris/vanilla-todo/issues/6
Love the idea of questions in context of results. Would love to see search within, filter, and resort result sets. Would love pro option to allow REGEX patterns as query tokens. Depending on results getting tabular data back would be awesome (think ranked queries such as top exports for <country> where results would have a table of item and quantity, etc.). The latter is akin to Google’s knowledge graph boxes with structured facts. Finally transparency mechanism and a “don’t be evil” commitment to not censor results like Google clearly does. Stay neutral. Give excellent results.

It's hard to see how New York becomes more affordable without a bunch of serious knock-on effects that would make it a bad place to live.

During "White Flight" New York lost a substantial, but not enormous number of people, but still the effects on the city budget caused quality of life to plummet, as crime spiraled and infrastructure crumbled.

I was reminded of this after reading this recent New York Times article about the current massive budget shortfall as the tax base flees the city:

Top candidates in non Bay Area cities are already getting paid a fair bit lower. They’re not requesting lower pay, there just isn’t the same demand for top software engineers.
