I’m not agreeing with or disagreeing with you, but the tone of your message is pretty shit and berates OP for having their own opinion. Be kind.

Either way, OP’s remarks are common sentiment. I’ve heard from plenty of home chefs that a gas stove is drastically easier to work on. I can sympathize with them wanting options in their life.
>Largely I think comments....

Largely I think you're projecting.

The reason California is such absolute shit to live in: people who live in California vote for the policies it has. You can't blame anyone else. I left to get away from you people, and would dearly like for you all to stay in the beautiful little paradise you have created. Bringing California problems, whether it be zoning laws, riots, real estate prices, unbreathable air due to foolish politically driven forestry management, water shortages, tent cities, traffic jams, electrical blackouts, people shitting in the streets or whatever charming advancements you may come up with next to Austin, Montana, Kuala Lumpur or Des Moines: you people should be treated as the pariahs you are.
Agreed. I think it was all OK when I was single. But the appetite to re-locate a family every 2-3 years with a job change (or employer disappearing) (changing friends, school districts, continuity) is a tall order in my humble opinion.

There is an old Russian saying about how every time you move it is like a fire happened (because you lose things.)
> This is really the nail in the coffin for Linux-native game ports. It's really, really hard to justify expending the effort

If things work flawlessly, do we care?

If companies want to support Linux out of the box, they don't have to expend resources creating multiple builds and need only to focus on testing a single build. Even a token amount of testing from a single QA engineer (does it run?) would go a _long way_ into ensuring we can run things on Linux.

From lurking in wine-dev, games that work but have a few issues progress much faster than ones that don't even boot up (or they do but don't actually work).

It's a bit unfortunate that the Win32 api is being used as a lingua franca, but I'll take it.
All new homes have solar, if there is storage included, it will allow offline power access.
I don’t understand why the state would care. They take their cut off the top. If there is excess unclaimed jackpot money that accumulates week to week until expected values go positive why does that hurt them?
The alternative would be to release the songs as public domain like Tom Lehrer [1].

Disney is making movies out of public domain stories because it's easier without the licensing overhead. Same is true for songs. Elvis and the Beatles fade because their songs cannot be shared without learning about the licensing agreements. A fate that Dylan could have avoided.

Meanwhile across the border in Quebec with electricity at less than 6c per kwh most homes use electric baseboard heaters.
> It's just not feasible to heat a home using electric in these areas

I live in Massachusetts and the cheapest source of heat is an electric, air-based heat pump matched with solar panels.

Without solar, electric air-based heat pumps are cost competitive. You have to do the math, though. (How much BTU per therm of gas or gallon of oil; reduce by efficiency, then convert BTU to kwh, then divide by the COE of your heat pump.)

At my old house in Massachusetts I paid $0.12 per kwh, my gas price was equivalent to paying $0.04 per kwh to run a resistive heater; a heat pump with 3.0 COE would be "break-even" with gas.

At my current home my solar loans are estimated to cost about $0.04 cents a kwh. Obviously, I went with a heat pump instead of a gas furnace!
It will be interesting to see what happens. I work at one of FANG and recently relocated to Asheville from the Bay Area (sooner than I expected; we have a newborn and wildfire smoke was getting pretty bad). Compensation adjustment is surprisingly less than I would have expected, although it's hard to say if this trend will hold over the next decade or not.

Our rent is 1/4 of what it was in the Bay Area for one more bedroom now. I do miss California a lot though; the weather, food, and culture are very hard to beat (although Asheville isn't too bad in this regard, but at perhaps 1/20 of the scale). Ironically, with the amount that I am able to save from not living there anymore, I plan to save up and buy a house somewhere in the Bay Area in 15-20 years. But this is assuming my income will remain at Silicon Valley levels. If companies change their mind about embracing remote work, it will drop quite a bit since we are definitely not moving back any time soon. Personally, I feel that I am more productive working remotely than in person, but I do miss all of the office perks.

Bad news: in order for this to pass the threshold and be considered a real Valley-class SaaS, it's required to eventually institute a pricing plan of $4–9/mo for its introductory paid tier and force you to choose between using either that or sticking to the freerider option. You want pricing centered around resource use? What even is that?
The amount of new accounts asking questions as in a FAQ is highly suspicious to me.

EDIT: flagging this comment will only attract more attention on you...
Certainly. I did not mean to imply a global ordering of places to live. I interpreted the original question "what practically speaking is so intolerable about living there or your neighbors?" as "what ... is so intolerable [for someone who doesn't wish to live there] ...". It is perfectly reasonable that you find it enjoyable to live there and I find it intolerable. I interpreted the question as "why do you find it intolerable" not "why should I find it intolerable" since the latter is harder to answer - I don't know your desire vector and/or moral foundations.

And to be clear, I did not mean illegal immigration. I meant legal immigration.
It will just continue to bifurcate more. Highly skilled people will still kill. People that mostly benefitted from being in the Bay are fucked. High-end positions outside the Bay pay Bay salaries.
>> Especially considering his age.

A lawyer might call this "cold hand" control. He, like every other rich old person, is probably setting up a complex will to control how his wealth functions after his death (the cold hand from the grave). If he gives a song to someone, that person can do what they want with it. They could keep the money. Sell the song. Or just sit on it and let it never be played again. The dead man would not be in control. But if he convert that song into a pile of cash, and inserts that cash into a trust, then the dead man can exercise more direct/itemized control for many years to come.

Give your house to your son and the day after you die he can sell it. But fund a trust to "administer" the house and you can tell the kid he can live in it but never sell it. Even decades later, the dead hand still controls the house and behavior of the child. Rich people do these things. When I was a law student working at a legal clinic, maybe 1/4 of the clients were old people who wanted to leave their house to their daughter but didn't want her to sell the day after they died. My advice was always to not do this because it burdened the daughter immensely. They didn't care. They wanted the house to continue in the family forever regardless.

I moved to Sacramento for all the same reasons, and I also love it here. I remember a lot of people talked down on Sac when I lived in the Bay. It feels like I’ve discovered a secret by moving here.

EDIT: Here are a few more things to like about Sacramento.

There seems to be a large population of highly educated ex-military types concentrated here. It’s been an unexpected source of high quality hires. I never saw these people in the Bay.

I’m in an international marriage. We were worried we wouldn’t be able to find our people upon moving here. That hasn’t been a problem at all. Fellow expats are everywhere. It’s a fairly diverse area.

For real. Watching MySpace fizzle in the early 2000's, it wasn't obvious that Facebook would stick around, much less become a publicly traded company, or cultural phenomenon. Similarly, it wasn't obvious that Amazon would ever grow to become what it has. Even if I had $1000 laying around in 2002 or 2012, I would not have bet on an okay internet bookstore, or another social media site.

Because people (including me) want something that looks nice without doing any work.

Bootstrap met that; Tailwind looks nicer than the Bootstrap output, and is very handy to use to tweak everything.

I'm ambivalent about the approach. So far the bigger problem is it moves too fast - with Bootstrap I can work on projects over a couple of years and nothing much changes. With Tailwind, it's new stuff every couple of months :)
RTMP is very old as a protocol and pretty rubbish.

But not because it's old. IP is old. UDP is old. RTP is old.

Using TCP for live streaming isn't a good thing, same as using TCP for a VPN isn't good.

SRT isn't great, it grew from a file transfer program (UDT). UDP file transfers like UDP and Signiant were popular 15 years ago when TCP window scaling and buffers were more miss than hit. Companies like signiant and filecatalyst were very big on them, and UDT was an attempt to standardise it.

RIST is technically a far nicer protocol than SRT, but suffered massively from the talking-shop development. It came out two years late, and even then didn't have the proper libraries to just drop into your prosumer camera like SRT did.

N.B. It's a shame as their file transfer management systems were good (control, monitoring, security, scheduling etc), but they were going full pelt on the "TCP is slow, UDP is fast" line - to the point that they deliberatly took standard linux distributions like ubuntu and redhat, and changed the default settings to disable tcp window scaling, so show a "side by side" comparison on their sales booths at events.
There does seem to be a strong correlation between large influx of former California residents and increasing social problems.
Yeah, one of the major issues with running an affiliate program is that there's a real risk that they wind up finding ways to claim your regular customers as theirs. You don't gain anything from such transactions, but they do.

The incentives of affiliates and principals aren't as fully aligned as might be hoped.

All true, still I was glad to find that Ubuntu 'certified' compatibility with the Dell M6800, which gave me the confidence that I could install pretty much any 'desktop' Linux distribution.

Likewise a local dealer (CentralComputers) offers servers with "Linux" pre-installed (used to be free, now they charge a modest fee for it) option. I dimly recall that to be RedHat (might have been CentOS), we put Debian on it. Still, it's better than the 'bare-bone' option, as it gives you the confidence that Linux (it's almost exclusively the kernel which matters here after all) will run and that the machine does boot (otherwise not guaranteed with such customized computers).

What's troublesome for me is that I have been using

* xetex when I needed a font that was not easily achievable in pdftex over the past decade
* pdftex for everything else because microtype(TM) just works(TM) (even though kerning can be done using fontspec and font features in xetex).

I've tried luatex multiple times over the past decade, it was mostly just too slow. Now luatex is fast. But I have no idea if I now "should" use luatex over pdftex for best out-of-the-box results or not.

Unfortunately, switching to luatex is not a zero-effort (moving to polyglossia, using fontspec, maybe removing some magic in many-lines private templates, and so on).

For all I know, because I'm always curious and peek at PDF file properties as a hobby (if only to check which cool font that is), basically every scientific paper I read is set using pdftex. luatex usage in the wild is, as far as I perceive it, nil, outside of enthusiast luatex user spheres. I don't think this will change unless texlive drops pdftex (as it still ships ptex and even uptex, it probably won't for a very long time).

In my specific case my SO grew up in Cupertino and her family is here, so that's another element that makes it hard to leave. I'm currently doing the live with roommates bit, but it's a hard tradeoff to make.

Also I saw where you work in your HN bio - do you partner with VRAD (or maybe are considering starting your own)? I've always though leveraging ML imaging software as part of a nighthawk radiology service would be really interesting. Basically hire radiologists to be part of the company (give them some equity) and leverage their readings to train the model. In a bit of a Tesla style self-driving play where you're providing the current capabilities via humans, but the ultimate goal is leveraging that to train and improve the software. My dad does neurorad so seemed like a natural fit for deep learning image recognition to me. If you're writing the reading software then you can tailor it for training too.

Unrelated to that, if you're looking for more options in DC the company I work for has a major office there (feel free to connect, my email is in my profile).

I would like to see a computed stat, but I don't know, I see a lot of overturned semis often at these very specific places (elevation drop + turn) - always knocking them over. It's the wind or the speed the driver was going.

Maybe iteration 1 of all this should be detectors that help drivers do better:

1. Unsafe driving speed alarms (given conditions)

2. Notification of areas that are historically unsafe

3. Baby in the back-seat!

4. Alcohol in the driver's seat detection (even if you don't have an existing DUI/setup)

Any 1 of those implemented en-masse would likely reduce accidents/deaths world more than Full self driving AI (in its current form), and if that was truly the goal, I don't understand why these aren't the top little buggers to fix and release in 2021.
It is hilarious. Lao Tzu quotes make it simply perfect.
Gaming on steam works on Centos/RHEL as well as Ubuntu too. While most folks would not think of Centos as a desktop OS, we end up using it for our dev workstations as it matches up nicely with production servers. Christmas time last year, ended up having a bunch of vacation time to burn through and set out on a quest to get a game running on my work rig.

The planets aligned with Centos 8, Steam, and AMD drivers somewhere around late January. Things went from crazy difficult to just working.

Over the Spring/Summer/Fall I've seen significant progress on what worked on Windows vs Proton vs native Linux. A significant chunk of my Steam library now plays on my primary box. When the day comes where I actually get my hands on a new CPU/video card... those will actually go into my workstation.

I might be overreacting to past projects, but I've almost always found bespoke css gets out of control. Most projects tame it with well defined values for margin, padding, etc, and applying and enforcing those values means you sort of end up creating your own Tailwind. The "atomic" side of Tailwind is nice, but so is the consistency in values it provides.

If I was to take the css module approach today, I might still find myself using Tailwind and @apply inside the modules.
In aggregate, they seem to be. Most vote for dems who want to increase taxes. In a country with a two party system, it's basically the same as bringing their entire policies with them.
Saul needs to spend a little less time on these projections, and a little more time on Makani Power, because it's not looking good. (I'm a big fan of the concept of airborned wind turbines FYA).

I'm an open-minded person, and I've installed solar and micro-hydro residential systems in the past. I'm a fan of these technologies and a carbon-free future, but I'm also highly skeptical of intelligent humans who make bold, risky predictions about massive systems and how they'd react to changes. Historically, it's gone rather poorly most of the time.
The same irrational belief is common in Germany as well. Cold air is thought to cause things like the common cold and bronchitis.

Some people would feel a slight draft indoors and immediately start yelling for the windows to be closed.

I knew a very wealthy guy in Germany who bought a Mercedes 560SEL - at the time, the top-of-the-line model. He ordered it without air conditioning because he didn't want to get bronchitis.

You can buy a home cheap in Detroit, that’s not a good thing. Wouldn’t rising home values signal economic growth? As long as there’s room to expand I don’t see the problem. SF’s issue isn’t high prices, it’s archaic zoning laws that limit supply to keep prices high for home owners.

Fair, but ap 9mms aren't that bad. Also, I'm just laying down a template, I dont claim to have any insider info. We can even argue if their sidearms were Jerichos or P320s. I'm not too concerned on weapon specifics. It does look pretty clean shooting wise from that pic. Now that I think about it, I'd actually argue it would have been semi rifle fire instead of full auto. They're claiming full auto, but I just dont see it from the front. Dont know if there are other images that prove me wrong... but theres also a funny joke here that they might have used mp5s instead of mp7s since Israel is being blamed...

Payment is not the primary incentive for artists to make creative works. The need for payment in order to survive is an obstacle that needs to be overcome so one can pursue their true incentives. If you are the sort of person whose primary motivation is money, becoming an artist is one of the worst paths for achieving that.
1W is a fairly massive amount of power though, a typical small DIY project will output a couple of mW. So unless you very explicitly start amplifying it after your oscillator there most likely will not be too much power radiating out unless you hook it up to another stage or a directed antenna (which gives you a passive way of boosting the radiated power by concentrating the output on a more narrow angle).
