I'd like to add: org-mode is overwhelming, so just take it easy. Set up a notes folder, sync it to the web, and just use org as a plain markdown/todo list editor for a while. Perhaps add org-roam (like vimwiki with backlinks). Then, only if you feel the need to, give org-capture and/or the calendar/agenda features a try. Don't force yourself to use some obscure feature just because it's there in the manual on page 587, or because you saw someone on Youtube rave about it.

I switched to Doom Emacs about two years ago and while I miss the insane performance and simplicity of vim sometimes, the positives overall outweigh the negatives once you get over the initial differences (workspaces, command names, etc.).
I never claimed it is a good life. I never generalized anything. I am not sure where you found it. What I claimed is many of the people who spend billions of dollars on this problem have incentive to not have it actually solved (as in gone, no problem anymore) - for reasons both political and selfish. I also never claimed I have an explanation for the problem of homelessness. I only have an explanation for why the government of San Francisco does not appear to be able to make any progress in solving it despite spending a real lot of money on it.

You must have missed the whole DeCSS debacle. That was code that absolutely was meant to circumvent an encryption protection scheme regardless of how weak its encryption was.

I wonder how much money they've saved using RISC-V.

ARM used to license (2013) for 1-10 million up front then 1-2% of the street value of the chip in royalties[0].

A little googling find this presentation on swerve [1] EH2 which says 4.9 coremark/mhz with one core. It's 8 stage, dual core (with SMT) targeting 1.2GHz on 16nm. It seems likely to be between an a35 (wearable) and a55.

With those chips starting at around $10 and around 100m units per year, it's easily 11-30 million per year but including the fact that integrating the arm core is also expensive and requires engineers. That money represents 22-60 full time engineers at $500,000 each. They also have a m4 sized chip too which is another big chunk of money

These big companies stand to save a lot moving to RISC-V.

Maybe I am just a frugal person, but to me, if you told me I could get a post-tax extra 10k a year switching from a 1bed apartment to a roommate situation I would always take it as long as I could find reasonable people to live with. I was pretty far from poverty when I made that decision in the SF bay area. And again, I just said they could afford a 1bed apartment, not that this was the max they could afford. You're not being charitable with interpreting my reply.
This is a misleading metric.

Say you had a $100k homeless budget, and 100 homeless folks. You’re spending $1k per resident.

But say your program REALLY works, and now you only have 10 homeless folks. Then, your program is spending $10k per resident!

the program didn’t get worse. As your program gets better, you should be spending MORE per resident, not less.

> The rich are the reason—unless you are one of them—that you are not making significantly more money from your current job

Actually, for a significant part of Bay Area - anybody who is working in a startup or a company that has been a startup (including Google, Facebook, Amazon, Twitter, etc.) "the rich" are the reason they have a job and a salary with which they can afford not being homeless. Who do you think makes up VC capital from which startup investments are made? I don't idealize rich people - as a whole, they have the same percent of assholes and criminals as any other group, and as people with many resources their assholery has an outsized impact sometimes - but claiming "the rich are the reason" for all problems and without them we'd all be paid tons of money of of somewhere magic - is just sheer idiocy. Sorry, I lived in a country where (almost) nobody was rich, at least legally - and it was shitty. I do not recommend it to anybody.
As confusing as multi-layered escaping can be, I still vastly prefer the situation in Linux and other Unix-likes to that of Windows where each process is given nothing more than a mildly-processed command line from the shell (e.g. no globbing) as a string, and parses it however it wants to. Escaping in batch files is slightly different from interactive commands, each utility may have its own escaping conventions on top of those the shell has, etc. Linux and the like have a far more predictable and consistent experience, since argument splitting and globbing is always done once by the shell, and each process gets the already-split and expanded argument list.

I feel like many static site generators have more-or-less filesystem-as-database. Some are more specialized than others. Many SSGs have standardized around the format of `YAML: Metadata\n\n---\n\nContent`, and expose a query interface over the YAML metadata. But, most static site generators don't generally have create/update API - just a read API.

A reason you don't see much in the "tree of simple files as my DB" space is that the whole point of it is to be trivially simple to understand, and thus, to implement.

Now, with file DBs, it's actually quite important to use atomic writes, so that a crash or concurrent operations don't produce errors. For example, the package posted above can corrupt data if there's concurrent writers to the same data file, because all the writes are non-atomic fs.writeFileSync(). What this database should do instead is write to a tempfile, and then rename the tempfile to replace the destination. That way, you get simple last-write-wins semantics with no possibility of creating invalid JSONs.

They ask for mobile phones regardless of your IP.

In some countries anonymous e-mail is illegal. If your IP comes from such country, Google will _always_ ask for phone number on that account without option to refuse. Otherwise they will ask you after completing a registration (there is a delay to let you get hooked on, but Google still asks eventually). Some IP addresses are whitelisted — if you already have a "trusted" Google account, attached to that IP, or if Google recognizes your address as "corporate" or if you are an American and live in "liberal" state or... Basically, there are pockets of world, where Google does not ask it's existing accounts for phone numbers. But those pockets are shrinking and eventually you will be expected to cough up your phone. Unless you have already given Google your phone (e.g. by owning an Android device), which may create false impression, that you didn't need to.

I do disagree with you say.

You say there is "something in the brain" of someone who recognizes this for sexual dancing, as something that is supposed to be exciting (which to me in this context is just an euphemism for arousing) -- but you don't say what that is, just call it an "ugly implication".

I say that all that's required in the brain is a passing familiarity with general society, and the same behavior/dancing in adults. That's neither ugly nor interesting nor an insight. The only interesting thing is how you first assume some sort of denial in anyone criticizing the movie, then turn around and can't even handle that I do, in fact, disagree with you, because you're wrong.
Less technically knowledgeable people would probably do something similar, using Facebook as an even slower (and lossier) "layer 8 proxy" as opposed to your "layer 7 proxy".

SQLite database files themselves are binary, which typically isn't diff-able with standard tools, so (eg) git wouldn't show you anything useful unless you configure a special tool for diffing sqlite files.

And in fact, there is a sqlitediff.exe tool for diffing sqlite databases: https://sqlite.org/sqldiff.html

But, it would still be a bummer to store them in git because git won't efficiently track changes between sqlite databases, it'll just add the whole binary blob on every commit. oof.

foo = {}

Several of the comments here entertain the idea you can get wealthy in the Bay Area working working for an established company, not equity. I have never understood the math.

Let’s say you earn an outrageous salary working for a FAANG of about $450,000. That is about 3x the equivalent where I live for the same work but taxes are substantially higher and housing costs 6-10x. Numerically it doesn’t make any sense when the current value of my house (after doubling in value) is barely the downpayment of a house in the valley. Apartments are also ridiculously expensive and I would want to live in a tiny apartment with kids (my own, not roommates).

Then the other argument is that the valley is where the jobs are. My experience is that if you are an experienced and half competent software engineer there are plenty of jobs in every major metro.

So if I already have a high paying job and own real estate what is the pull to move to the Bay Area?

You do realise that $55k even with $12k insurance taken off ($43k "effective' median) is higher than any EU state, apart from maybe Luxembourg. And taxes will be significantly higher in EU states than MI (even if you are paying healthcare privately), which will further tilt it?

> Still worth it for 'free' education and 'free' healthcare?

Yes. The taxes are worth it, for a stable society.

This US 2020 election:

An Associated Press analysis reveals that in 376 counties with the highest number of new cases per capita, the overwhelming majority — 93% of those counties — went for Trump, a rate above other less severely hit areas.: https://www.chicagotribune.com/coronavirus/ct-nw-coronavirus...

I am a dual US|Croatian (European Union) citizen. I happily pay Croatian taxes, just for the stability. I don’t have to worry about amassing a huge amount of savings for retirement as an EU citizen and I can work/live/retire in 30+ countries. (By the way, if you save for retirement, in the millions range, it may not pay for your cancer or rare disease treatment, even if covered by insurance, due to Medicare Part D catastrophic coverage level. I know this because my out-of-pocket responsibility for my blood product costs $50,000+/year under Medicare Part D, under catastrophic coverage level. 7% of the general population has some sort of a rare disease and obviously cancer is a common diagnosis)

> Also a lot of cold and darkness.

Well, I’m from Seattle and I have to say, you eventually get used to the dreariness, cold, and darkness.
I don't follow that. Suppose the tax was 100%. Real estate would effectively never appreciate, so no one would hoard it. If the tax is 0%, then it's a completely "free" market. Anything between the two just reduces the ROI.

Since a high ROI in the short term promotes speculation (and not development), it seems like this would reduce speculation and the likelihood of bubbles forming.

Of course that's a ridiculously oversimplified view. There are a zillion different ways to stack this, which is what would happen in any case. To spur development and not just buy-and-hold, the law might be written to exempt certain kinds of improvement costs.

Look over the SML types (not modules) and tell me where all that complexity lies. I'd argue that SML is both more simple than go (especially with this proposal) and more powerful. SML doesn't allow the shenanigans Haskell does (and a go using something similar to the SML type system wouldn't either).

As to hundreds of millions, that's easily true. Most of the people on that team make 500k per year at least with some making way more than that (and we aren't including other benefits of costs to the company who employs them). The language is publicly 11 years old and existed before that.

1e8 / 5e5 / 11 gives a mere 18 developers and less than 200 man years. I seriously doubt the compiler, libraries, and extensive tooling took less than 5x that amount at a minimum.
