If the city would rezone all of the single family homes into higher density buildings, this wouldn't be a problem. Flood the area with supply and the cost will go down to reasonable levels.

This is a problem all across the nation. Everyone wants a single family home, so this leads to two things: outrageously high costs of homes, or people moving out to the suburbs and thus worsening the rush hour traffic and smog issue.

I'm very much against fewer keys (I have lots of space!) but really like how the F keys are now layer+numkey. I don't have to stretch my fingers and lose no functionality otherwise.
At the present time, investing in wind is the most cost-effective way to reduce the carbon emissions of electricity generation in the UK.

That is, for every £ invested, putting that £ in wind farms produces more energy and reduces carbon emissions more than it would by investing it in other technologies. That will continue to be the case so long as each MWh of wind generation offsets a MWh that would otherwise be generated from fossil fuels (or dirty biomass, for that matter!).

That's not to say that we shouldn't be developing other technologies too. They will certainly be needed in the future to reach a 100% fossil-free grid. But it makes sense to continue building wind turbines for the foreseeable future.

(Side note: one thing that should help in the future is increasing geographic diversity of wind farm sites. Today we have light winds over Scotland and the east coast where most turbines are located. But plenty of wind on the Irish sea / Atlantic side where there are, currently, comparatively few turbines)
There's a growing concept of 'mid-rise' woodframe construction as well due to how the codes are written.

But this is true of everything. Value is decided by participants in the relevant market, not by some random people who aren't part of that market and who don't know what they're looking at. The market for gold values it at around $1900/ounce, but if you took an ounce of gold to some uncontacted indigenous tribe, you would not get market value for it.
Meteorites fall on Earth all the time so I wouldn't be worried about that. Also we've removed lots of mass from Earth with all the stuff we've put up in space.
Like other "isms" ageism rarely announces itself as such. Instead it cloaks itself in other forms of bias that "just happen" to be correlated with age. For example, oncall requirements and late meetings/offsites are primarily burdensome to those with families, but that's disproportionately older workers. Open offices are less endurable for older workers because of otherwise-neutral changes in hearing and concentration. And so on.

An even more subtle form of ageism is discrimination against certain technical/process habits that are correlated with when one entered the industry and therefore with age. For example, older engineers are more likely to believe in thinking through problems before starting to code, but in a "move fast" culture that's considered outdated. Older developers are likely to be more conservative when estimating technical difficulty or time to completion, which gets interpreted as unwillingness to commit (especially compared to younger developers who often wildly overcommit and suffer no consequence). Older workers are more likely to push back against corporate happy-talk because they've heard it all before and it never amounted to anything, but that can be interpreted as disloyalty or a "culture fit" problem.

Ageism is not one big obvious thing; it's a collection of small subtle things. Bit by bit by bit, these things nibble away at older workers' individual productivity and collaborative opportunities. Many overcome it. I did OK for myself in three years when I was 20+ years older than the median for the two groups I was in at a FAANG. But just because a problem is overcome doesn't mean it's not a problem.

That, and for redundancy. I've heard it's designed so that even if a significant number of engines malfunction, others can be used to compensate.

Same here, I have nothing against more keys, I just have no use for them now. I wouldn't want to be without a num row, but now that my tilde key switches the right side of my keyboard's home row to numeric, I don't even have to move my hand away to type numbers.
It's a side effect of de-taxing land. The more land becomes an asset and the less it becomes a liability (e.g. by capping property taxes) , the greater incentive there is to hoard it and jealously guard its value with NIMBYism which leads to even less development, greater shortages and even higher prices on an upward spiral.

Saying "it's about supply and demand" is not technically wrong but it glosses over the toxic systemic changes which brought us here and exculpates the people who deliberately fought for them to create this mess.

If land were closer to being in a liability in SF then the NIMBYism would be a pale imitation of what it is now and the land would be used much more efficiently and property wouldn't be as astronomically expensive.

However, land owners need an economic incentive to develop that requires them to lose money if they use land unproductively.

That means taxing the value of the land - preferably directly (via LVT) but failing that by raising property taxes.
I have the same problem also in 18.04 with gcc 7.5 - it's a bug in binutils:

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Binutils_2.32_upgrade_notes/elf...

I have been unable to find a backported package for 2.32 or better as a deb or ppa and there's no ways I'm installing binutils from source in case I clobber my build system. Any ideas?

With all the options (larger cable in between the halves, risers, etc.) it's closer to $200 than the $99 base price but still a tremendous value.

An added benefit over most other super ergonomic keyboards is that the design is close enough to standard QWERTY that it's pretty trivial to get going. I've a few friends who have really struggled with the more aggressively altered layouts of some of the other designs.

Dude, hot water is a known carcinogenic. It is scaremongering unless backed by hard stats that point to the urgency.

Cancer is the default disease, it amounts to a cell copying error, if something else doesn't kill you, you eventually develop it. It's basic statistics.

Life expectancy has never been higher, I'm not saying we shouldn't watch out for dangerous substances in the environment, but there will always be some, and the relative risk is usually quite small.

It's not if suddenly, life expectancy went down by 10 years and we cannot explain it. This is more like: "mhhh interesting, we should take a closer look at it".

Alcoholic beverages or going out in the sun are probably bigger health risks.
I'm not as familiar with international flood mitigation projects, but I'd expect any built before ~1990(?) had something similar, albeit in varied scale.

It's interesting that the Mississippi model's scale was specifically chosen to minimize unrealistic effects of surface tension, that might have dominated at a smaller scale. (But it was the 1940s, and I'm sure we know more about surface tension and hydrodynamics now)
You're speaking as if the words are merely considered tactless, but they are being erased from the language for being considered racist, not for being tactless. I don't know if anyone's been fired yet for saying "master bedroom" specifically, but people have been fired for even more innocuous things than that. Like that professor in the UK who was fired for expressing his admiration of the competence of the Jewish people.

Of course anyone can get fired for saying "master bedroom" or absolutely anything else if it's said to be racist. I could agree with your take if the dialogue around those terms was that they were merely harmless. But that is not the dialogue. They are being labeled racist, and being racist naturally implies that they must be stamped out along with the people that say "racist" things. The entire point of labeling things "racist" rather than "tactless" is so that the dogma of the week can be enforced with actual consequences. You can't get a Twitter mob together for someone being tactless, but you can absolutely do it to someone that's "racist".
Ask HN: Who has written a 2020 retrospective blog post?
As the title suggests, I'm curious to read anything you've written publicly about the year as it comes to a close.
Drupal has been on a decline the past two years from 2.3% to 1.5% according to those trends. Likewise, the last post here on HN has been 4 years ago as well.

It seems to stagnate right now. Though I assume the community didn't really shrink, just didn't grow in size relative to market adapting Wordpress.

I grew up in an evangelical church, I still attend evangelical churches, and yet oddly the only time I hear that I and my fellow Evangelicals support Israel is due to a death cult wish for the rapture is when people outside the faith are explaining the beliefs of my fellow parishioners to me. Odd that.
Heller is an odd example to use for "political polarization" considering it cut across traditional political lines. It was built on the scholarship of the usual conservative/libertarian set, but also liberal professors like Sunstein, Tribe, and Amar: https://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/06/us/06firearms.html

> There used to be an almost complete scholarly and judicial consensus that the Second Amendment protects only a collective right of the states to maintain militias. That consensus no longer exists — thanks largely to the work over the last 20 years of several leading liberal law professors, who have come to embrace the view that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to own guns.

Heller also shows that, even if the court is "politically polarized in both directions" that polarization runs strongly in one particular direction. Deciding that the Second Amendment protects the individual right to bear arms, a position amply supported by the text and history (see: https://www2.law.ucla.edu/volokh/common.htm), requires a conservative majority plus buy-in from leading liberal academics.

Yet the decision that the Constitution protects a right to abortion, which concededly has no basis in the text or history of the document, survives despite decades of a conservative Supreme Court majority.
In case you missed it - the Coldworm species launched their own probe and it crashed on the surface back in April. This is clearly debris from that crash, so no conspiracy here.
Having said that, I do think those guys on Europa are really getting their sh*t together these days. If it wasn't for a spurious emission from some random Starlink earthsat, they probably would have made it.

Sure, as do most TUIs and a lot of web apps. I'm merely suggesting a hack that goes along with this hack, not the foundation technology for a mono-binary Office clone.

Re-inventing the UI wheel seems somewhat common within the Go and Rust communities (as is re-inventing everything else), this would just have raw X11 protocol messages via socket as the foundation layer, not Vulkan/GL/SDL. And there just enough to be useful, e.g. text, input, buttons, canvas…

For something more serious, I suggest re-inventing PostScript/NeWs as a service, of course.

I think most people doubt supply and demand to some degree. How often have you seen someone argue we should secure the supply of food to disaster zones by repealing price gouging laws? Rent control is popular because many people believe, wrongly but wholeheartedly, that landlords are just price gougers and everyone could get cheap adequate housing if they weren’t manipulating it.

It's not a "fetishization of the Constitution." Its observing the governing ground rules of society--which society is empowered to change pursuant to those same rules if it wishes.
Really? I grew up in a rural area and the suburbs always seemed like fun, you know why? There were other kids! Is this just an illusion? All I ever wanted as a kid was a neighborhood. We had to convince our parents to drive us all over hill and dale if we wanted to see anyone our age.

Only if you remove the distinction between paid employee man-hours and consumer man-hours (which, economically, is an externality, yes, but generally treated as a positive one, called 'engagement').
On a semi related note, I've seen a lot more 'stop' and 'stop it' on the internet lately. Arguably the various forms of saying the same thing come and go in terms of what is commonly used, but I've been surprised to see such empty words suddenly so common.

Personally I would be a bit embarrassed to just tell people to 'stop it' as to me it seems sort of childish, but apparently not everyone.

It's strange.

Very cool.

Consumers voluntarily providing their data to empower other consumers has a lot of potential.

Sticking in your "Buy for Life" lane:

1) Act as a central location to register warranty information to get a true number on defects.

2) Have consumers initiate disputes through your service to get a truer reading on the ethical metrics of a business.

Might have some synergies along these lines with https://donotpay.com/

And a lot of people only want a single family home because they want a certain amount of living space. In a commodified housing market, they would likely pay less for that space in a condo.
One game that was recently released has shown that most games are simply unoptimized and that is Doom Eternal. It performs substantially better compared to any other game that was released in 2020 at the same resolutions even on old GPUs.
Fascinating. Can't think of another story that captures the nuance in coming of age for the average 90s futurist kid.

The fact that this was written in '98 is interesting too. Seems like every generation goes through this journey. A bright optimism followed by intense disillusionment and then reaching a compromise and balance with their visions of the future and the complex realities of life.

I wonder how Gen Z will respond to their trial, especially in the hyper-competitive world where everyone wants to be a "founder".

I should say, after a quick glance most of the stuff is only adding greater typefullness and type saftey, which IMHO is good thing, considering the total type anarchy found in most large c projects.

When some projects/domains even now prefer C to C++, aren't they trading off safety for vague expectation of greater execution speed?
look for vacant units in your building (if you're in an apartment) and see if you can negotiate a lower rate with your landlord based on the price of the units that are currently up for rent. if you're not in an apartment, you might be able to do the same thing with houses in your area

Phoenix AZ seems to handle being an enormous suburb fairly well.
I used this for a while and have had many interesting conversations with people from all over the world, including the creator of the app. I turned it of during the summer holiday last year, and forgot to turn it back on again. Back then it was called My Boss or something similar, and at the start of every conversation a question was sugested to get the conversation started.
And that’s why those landlords fight tooth and nail to keep zoning restrictive.
5. Avoid having to set up a new device everytime something breaks.

Some authors do tend to repeat themselves and use unnecessary language, or use the title to hook you into reading the article for a piece of information that they only reveal at the end
This seems like a brilliant idea.

On the other hand, I wonder how quickly it'll become annoying. If you have more than a few of these products, getting badgered to update your review every year for each of them might get tedious. Perhaps gamification and/or some other sort of incentive could help, but I'm not sure.

Also, if I've had something for 5 years and it's still going strong, I doubt I'll be able to add much new info at year 6 - unless it broke down of course. So perhaps decreasing the frequency of reviews slowly over time would be useful. Perhaps something Fibonacci based, so you'd review after year 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13,...
yes, same here. my first SWE job was at 26, now 52 and my career has never felt more stable in terms of my ability to get another good job if my current one fell through. i love what i do and have a strong motivation to earn, so I have always made an effort to stay current, and that's translated to continually being in demand. I feel confident I'll be be able ride it out as long as I need to, if my health and the economy hold up!
Exactly the same setup even. I was struggling to find the "About Firefox" option earlier, but I checked again (why is it in the help sub-menu?) and I also have 84.0.1.

I was into the scene a little while ago and built a bunch of keyboards, ordered some of the rarer customs from massdrop and from manufacturers like rama. Honestly, it's hype culture. The scene seems to attract a very similar crowd to a lot of other hobbies that have limited batches or 'runs' of a product. Actually I found a lot of crossover with watch and shoe collectors and modified car enthusiasts.

Some of the prices on caps and cases were insane. Then what happens is you get this status on particular makers or products that only had very limited runs and were sold at very high prices and the prices just keep going up.

In the end I settled on a nice mass produced 60% board that suited me, got a relatively cheap case and some caps to taste, sold the other boards and left it at that.

It was fun for a while, but it's a deep rabbit hole and quite expensive. I also noticed that for many (including myself to some degree) it turns into a 'collect and show off' endeavour, where your status in the community is basically tied to how much money you've spent. And that just wasn't the game I wanted to play any more.
New industries have the long term cost advantage, old industries the cash flow advantage, that's why the less corrupt places adopt new technologies first.
People living inside the 5 eyes. Its arguably harder for Countries outside your own/those that are in good standing with yours to affect your life. While your own/allied Countries will be able to do more with the information that you potential give it.

Not that Im saying to get one of these or not. Just an idea why it might be interesting to prefer to give information to one country instead of another. (if you have the choice)
I want a single family home because it has no shared walls and a private backyard space for my kids and dog. It's not that hard to find condos or apartments with decent floor space.
The Fascinating Mystery of the Mysterious Music Heard on the Moon
Most of my childhood books were rural based adventures. The books my kid has are mostly rural or have no setting at all.

I agree that stories involving houses tend to portray single family homes. I can't think of any that actually portray that house in a suburban setting (the premise of the article). I'm sure they are out there, but none come to mind for me.

Then the question is really, so what if the settings are not suburban? I didn't really see an answer to that in the article, so I guess they were just trying to point out that there may be fewer topics for childhood adventures set in suburban areas.
Honestly I'm surprised no other city in the bay area has taken the baton and aimed to overtake SF in terms of relevance by becoming the densest, most thriving city in the region. Oakland is at least trying to cope with demand in some neighborhoods. I'm rooting for that.
