I love WordPress. Takes 5 minutes to setup on a VPS and it has so many themes and plugins. Also PHP makes it easy to quickly fiddle with pages without too much “tooling distractions”.
Increasingly, single family detached homes in the interior of SF are owned by the very wealthy who can remain in the city to shape policy over the long term, while renters come and go. So don't expect anyone at City Hall to swing a wrecking ball in the direction of Pac Heights.

The problem has solved itself already - the US is big and empty. There is little reason to stack people twenty stories high in a Zoom economy. So much talk here of policy changes, LVT etc etc...just freaking move!! That's a very trite response but it also is the best one. If anything, the pandemic has taken a wrecking ball to the entire thesis of New Urbanism and dense development...many Bay Area residents have already figured it out, don't be the last to get the memo.

Of course it is. A friend of mine wrote a C99 interpreter in python in high school. He had the wonderful idea of not implementing any undefined behaviour that wasn't strictly necessary :) we used it to test our C code later on in the course.

It probably won't be very fast though. There are parts of C++ that doesn't map very well to common lisp, and which means some parts will have more overhead than necessary.

The short(er)-term carbon cycle has a certain amount of carbon in circulation but using fossil sources increases this amount directly (by burning coal, oil, natural gas) or indirectly (plastics made from fossil carbon sources that is eventually burned).

Growing trees sequesters carbon and burning wood chips releases it again. This does not change the total amount in circulation and is much less of a problem.
Sadly these minimal layouts only really work with something resembling ANSI Layout. I would need ISO for German and then it quickly stops making any sense. Also steep learning curves and layering is less efficient for me than a standard keyboard. My job involves text, numbers, some coding. I need all the keys available. I love them but can't really use them. I ended up with a Realforce Topre full size - very nice tbh.

This past year I designed the ErgoBlue (https://www.xudongz.com/blog/2020/ergoblue/), a split ErgoDox keyboard that is wireless and solar powered. I'm obviously biased but I think it's a pretty unique build.

The interest check ran a few weeks ago and the group buy will run in a few weeks (group buys are essentially preorders where a certain number of quantity is required in order to achieve some economies of scale so it's not prohibitively expensive).
Don't ask, Don't get.

Everyone I know who has asked for a discount has got the discount.

After several months of the pandemic, and noticing the adjacent apartment being relisted by my landlord at a discount I emailed my landlord and asked if I could have my rent adjusted by the same discount. They said yes, if I committed to another years lease.

Saving 5% of rent, at the cost of a one year commitment didn't seem like a win, so I politely declined explaining my reasoning, and suggested we leave things as they are.

A week or so later, out of the blue by my rent got adjusted by 10%+ instead of 5% with no need to commit to stay.

Sufficed to say, if their intention was for me to stay put, it worked!
If you dump industrial amounts of salt in the ocean, it kills sealife in the immediate area.
There is lots of supply of money relative to supply of comparable investment opportunities (in societies with stable governments).

There is lots of demand for housing relative to supply of housing.

There is lack of supply of cities with equivalent income opportunities and amenities of SF relative to demand for that type of city.

All various ways of discussing the supply and demand curves that cause prices. And multiple solutions to address each one, assuming the goal is to make prices go lower. Such as increasing income/wealth tax, vacancy tax, increasing property taxes, increasing supply of housing, increasing cities like SF with labor laws similar to CA, etc.

21Lessons: What I've Learned from Falling Down the Bitcoin Rabbit Hole
That is what encryption is for. You only need to secure the voice until it can be encrypted.

Worth noting that the feeling of privacy is a lot about perception. People feel better if they know those they see around them cannot hear their private convo. That is why they speak softly and put their hands to their mouth talking in public places (the other part was to boost the signal, before the advent of differential microphones).

Don't get me wrong, I most definitely agree external cancellation is terrific, be it active or passive. In the passive realm people use traditional dampening materials, as well as MPPs (micro-perforated plates) in certain industrial applications.
Exactly, there are always comments about how it's not worth it right now, but that is now, who knows what the future will bring. We maybe be mining, refining, and doing all our manufacturing in space.

All our industrial waste could just be jettisoned into the endless vacuum of space and the earth might just be for residential and commercial use.

Maybe I'm being fanciful, naive, or just dreaming too much, but it's nice to imagine that kind of future where the earth is just a sanctuary to live and space is where the factories and the rubbish goes.
I'm a software engineer in my 40's. I also worry about ageism.

I don't want to victim blame. There is probably discrimination. But I think the older developers have some responsibility in defeating ageism.

I know a few SWEs who are older than me. They are already feeling the burnout of learning the new languages, frameworks, technologies every 3-4 years. Some of them are set in their ways thinking, "why would you need anything else other than C++/Java/etc.?" They grumble every time they are forced to learn something new. They have a point. After working in the industry for 15+ years, I empathize. But in this industry, that's unfortunately not the right attitude to have.

Another problem I see with older engineers is they are intimidated by the younger kids. I get it. When I interviewed some fresh grads, they seemed extremely talented and smart. I felt intimated by how much they knew. Some of the old guys lose confidence because of that. One old engineer who got laid off gave up looking for another job and faced early retirement. He told me he can't compete with the younger kids who already know all the new technologies and techniques.

Besides skills, I think it comes down to your attitude and how you relate to your younger co-workers. Being in my 40's, I still can relate to the kids. I try to bring a "young" energy. I'll see if I can keep this up into my 50's and maybe 60's.
It's ok because HN is much smaller; on Reddit, there are posts with 20k+ comments - for those, thread collapsing kinda makes sense (which doesn't validate collapsing comment threads everywhere else though).
There was a research in Canada about hiring discrimination. One of those ones where they send mock resumes to employers with similar contents but different applicant names: some had English names, some had non-English (mainly Asian IIRC) names. Then they compare the number of callbacks they got from employers.

The result of this particular study was that: 1) the resumes with non-English sounding names had much fewer callbacks than the ones with English names. 2) the resumes with more education and experience got more callbacks than the results with less education and experience. 3) if you had a non-English name and a master's, you almost but not quite, had the same rate of callback as someone with a bachelor's and an English name.

I imagine some people see this and conclude that skills beat racism. But if the reality is that you have to get a PhD and a couple of years of extra experience under your belt to have the same chance of finding a job as an English Canadian who has newly graduated from good BSc, then this is not skills beating racism. The fact that some people have to do a lot of extra work for the same outcome is the epitome of discrimination.
I did the same! I likely could have extended my lease to monthly and negotiated an even better deal had I known how long this would last. I saw so many people in my building moving out, and a lot of the rooms in my floor are still empty 7-8 months later.
> So in the end men who never father children are being taxed for other men's children. Is that moral?

In most Western states, care for the elderly (and especially childless elderly) is funded by the working age professionals, and those need to be born. So unless that 25% doesn't plan on growing old it’s not only moral but essential for them that the other 75% do have kids.

> I'm merely suggesting a hack that goes along with this hack, not the foundation technology for a mono-binary Office clone.

Sure. I just worry that one person's clever hack will then become another person's indispensable tool, which they'll then impose on their colleagues, employees, or contractors, blocking a third person from doing their job. I know a blind person who temporarily lost his job because his employer's largest client required an application that didn't work with screen readers. So I just want to make sure developers are aware of accessibility, and in general, the risks of reinventing things that are necessarily complex.

This is something that I miss about forums of yore and sort of hate about HN, Reddit, and their ilk: the deprioritization of a post author's identity. I miss being able to scan through a forum's post listing and readily pick out names of posters I recognized after being involved in the site for a while. It was an additional signal of post quality (or lack thereof, depending on the user). Here, the username is hidden in a sentence of status text, on the same visual level of the number of minutes ago the post was made, all of which is rendered in a light grey font. It's clearly intentional, and I can't for the life of me figure out why the forum owners don't want users to be able to build a consistent identity.

I got a wireless split keyboard "Centromere v2" and have had lots of issues with the connection. Keys will get stuck, latency will cause keys to be pressed in the wrong order, sometimes one half of the keyboard will stop working... I'm designing my won Centromere-alike right now, but I'll make it wired (and I'll print test layouts to see what fits my fingers better).

Have you not had similar experiences with wireless keyboards? I love the layout but am so tired by the constant problems with wireless, especially when the keyboard always sits on the same spot on my desk.

To put it another way: The author happened to be born very close to the peak for average Americans' wages, and every year since then has been an ever-tighter vice squeeze between declining wages and rising rents (in both the real estate and economic senses of the term)

Wow! I haven’t read such an impressive set of claims from a startup since Theranos.
Because it is ilegal?
My opinion is that rent control is much less about actually controlling rent, and more about controlling who is allowed to be in the city and where. Most rent control systems I’ve seen strongly favor those who have been in their current apartment for a long time, as moving often resets the rents back to market rate. And while that does help avoid evicting long time (and old) tenants, it also has the effect of forcing everyone on rent control to stay where they are.

I mentally couple the way that rent control works with the pretty common opinion that the city was great until “they” came, and would be excellent again if they’d just leave. While the “they” changes from place to place and time to time, the attitude seems to be pretty common. You even see this attitude here on HN, with occasional assertions that those who moved there for tech jobs should move and let rents fall for those who have always been there.
"Rather, prejudiced people take one look at you, see your gray hair, and make assumptions about you""

Often, I suspect, it isn't even about making conscious assumptions. People just have positive and negative subconscious reactions to certain physical traits.

It's striking that you virtually never hear any discussion of "height discrimination", which I put in scare quotes because it barely seems to a recognized concept in the world of work (although it is somewhat recognized in the dating world). Yet there's lots of evidence that tall people have systematic advantages in life. They're seen as leaders, more likely to become CEOs, more like to be elected to political office, etc.
Even if land were historically taxed at say NYC rates in SF the supply and demand problem would still rear its head. The problem is artificial supply constraints created first and foremost by zoning and secondly by a myriad of other regulation that infringed upon property rights and adds friction (time, money, risk, all of the above) that prevents people from exercising their property rights. Prop 13 (a monetary incentive to not sell) falls into this latter category. LVT would just be the revers of Prop 13. It's not going to solve a fundamental supply and demand problem that's created at a lower level. You'd have everything built out as much as the zoning allows for but the net result would still be inadequate because the zoning is too restrictive and the regulatory friction is going to still works its magic at the margin.
Why do so few events that shape your life or are worthy of mention take place in the suburbs, a place where people mostly sleep/rest?

I guess it depends in the demographics and location. I grew up in both settings.

In the rural area I could ride my bike or walk to friends houses, but there were really only 2 that were in range. There were tons of activity options - bike trails, fishing, exploring the woods, model rockets, etc.

Then in a small town setting, there were more kids, but not as many options for stuff to do. You would need to drive places for many outdoor activities, such as the fishing, mountain biking, model rockets, etc. So the activities were more indoor, which was still stuff I could do rurally, like video games (well rural couldn't do online, just in-person), board games, etc.

I don't believe carbon emissions will be "solved" by global altruism or even government regulation. This is something that will have a technological solution.

Carbon sequestration from the atmosphere is not a hard problem and turning atmospheric carbon into fuel is not a hard problem. It just makes no sense to burn fossil fuels to do it. This is a net energy loss although there's still a market for turning inconvenient energy sources into convenient ones.

But as soon as the energy source is cheaper than fossil fuels, the equation completely changes.

This, to me, is the ultimate promise of renewables.

It may well be the promise of fusion too but I'm not yet convinced fusion will ever be commercially viable. I'm least convinced about Tokamak reactors. New designs may prevail. Fusion is attractive because of the abundance of the fuel but the problems of containment (eg turbulence), alpha particle embrittlement and neutron embrittlement remain... huge. Stars contain all this with gravity.

It's very equivalent. Developers have a hard on for saying "I don't need to pay $5/mo for this when I can just build it in a weekend myself" Then they half ass something that took them probably a month of fiddling to make happen, then they're so vested in this idea that their homegrown bastardization is superior that they spend more time justifying the insane loopholes and workarounds to make it somewhat usable...

I would say it’s basically impossible to recreate a dense city based on today’s codes of construction requiring numerous safety/ADA measures in the US.

In an existing city, the cost to purchase land and buildings that would need to demolished, rezoned, and rebuilt as a higher density area with accompanying infrastructure is astronomical and wouldn’t be possibly by anyone other than the federal government only because they can print money. And politically, that effort would be dead on arrival.
