Don’t listen to this guy. I’m Canadian and lived in Toronto for eight years. Toronto housing is expensive because of lax lending, bad zoning, and bad regulations. That’s it, Canadians are to blame for this. For an example Berlin is a similar physical size and population as Toronto, and has similar rate of high immigration, but has a lower cost of living relative to salaries. This is guy may not be racist, but he’s doing the classic lazy thing of blaming newcomers when its really the locals that did this to themselves.
The upgrade was an accident. Maybe that was a problem.

I would like if the OS upgrade advised me of all the things that I had installed that would stop working.
I think fuel cells window of opportunity is closing fast and they have no traction despite a lot of investment.

EV's weight penalty is going away as battery energy density relentlessly increases. EV's capital expense penalty is also going away due to mass manufacturing improvements.

Charging infrastructure for EV's is basically a last 50 foot problem. Running 30 amp 240 circuit from a breaker box to an external outlet. Compare with the infrastructure needed for the 'hydrogen economy'. Every bit of it needs to be designed and built from scratch. Countries have built stuff like that but it takes decades. We don't have decades.

It also took 15 seconds to find out that the Brandon Residence For Women is permanently closed.

Have you verified that TMH is female only (not self-id based)? If not, what makes you think it's female only?

It's understandable if you assumed "women only" meant "female only" (as that's what most people understood it to mean from forever go up til about 10 years ago) but you'd be mistaken if you thought it was that simple. In many (most?) cases these days, "women" = "self-identify as women" which means it is not a single sex facility.
I've been using a website for 15 years or so that had a similar situation. The creator/maintainer got a short prognosis, but made an effort to ensure that his service would outlive him.

Even though I'll never meet Josh from Spamgourmet his work continues to make my life a little bit easier on an almost daily basis. I hope Roy's legacy is able to continue in the same way and that he gets some comfort from that.

Rust's flavor of RAII is different from C++'s, because Rust doesn't have constructors, operator new, implicit copy constructors, and doesn't expose moved-out-of state.

Rust also has "Copy" types which by definition can be trivially created and can't have destructors. Collections take advantage of that (e.g. dropping an array doesn't run any code).

So I don't really get what you mean. Rust's RAII can be compiled to plain C code (in fact, mrustc does exactly that). It's just `struct Foo foo = {}` followed by optional user-defined `bye_bye(&foo)` after its last use (note: it's not free/delete, memory allocator doesn't have to be involved at all).

I suspect you're talking about some wider programming patterns and best practices, but I don't see how that relates to C. If you don't need per-object init()/deinit(), then for the same you wouldn't use RAII in Rust either. RAII is an opt-in pattern.

Further, over time, many authorities have to be repeatedly reminded that User-Agents with UUID's != the user themselves, and every attempt by technologists to cram more UUID on more and more closely held technology with more and more ubiquitous and trending toward always on data streams just makes this threat harder and harder to play down.

You don't need to serialize and track everything. We need to stop doing it. This is also why the systemd machine-id was a step in the wrong direction.

The monoclonal data is less concerning since the human antibody response is polyclonal. It’s not surprising that this virus can escape from a single targeted antibody and if I were in pharm, this is why I wouldn’t spend billions on a mAb drug. I agree that the decreased convalescent plasma effectiveness is not ideal but I doubt this virus will be able to fully escape the mRNA vaccines on a population level.

Polyclonal antibodies against spike + t-cells + herd immunity should be enough to quell this pandemic. At least I hope so.
Those are the direct scams - but there are also lesser scams where a supplier replaces a part with a working part made by another manufacturer and pockets the difference. The parts may work correctly (in some cases it was only discovered because the parts worked FASTER than expected) - but it is fraud.

A cursory look at condo prices on any website* shows that most condos are well below $1M CAD. A 1 bedroom can be had in the downtown core for 600-700k, and significantly lower if you don’t mind commuting from Scarborough or Etobicoke.

Also, interest rates are 1% lower in Canada (albeit on shorter terms), and property taxes are roughly half.

This isn’t to say that homes are “cheap”, but there’s more to the story.

> What's utopian about it?

It's been known as utopian since at least the time of Thomas More[1].

> What do children pay their parents, or parents pay their kids? That's the relationship people start out with and one that is most natural.

Yes, it's natural for that relationship. That does not mean that:

a) it applies to other kinds of relationship

b) it scales to all of society

In fact, it's that kind of thinking that leads to the authoritarianism of Confucianism, the tyranny of communism, and the stifling paternalism of western social democracy (among other things such as outright fascism).

Gifting worked amongst tribes because they're all related. As to Graeber, he's saying that slavery is the creation of money? No, he's too mealy mouthed for that “perhaps not creating but at least enabling institutions such as slavery”.

Wow, money enables slavery. What a pathetic attempt at insight and guilt by association.

Money is simply a better system than the competitors, as is liberalism - the wish that people be free to choose how they use their spending power (or gifting power, ha) - to its competitors. A gift economy was not able to lift almost the entire world out of poverty (and it will hopefully complete that effort soon[2]). Communism and socialism (not that there's a real difference) have only managed to emiserate and imprison every society it's been tried in. No thanks.

I don't know – but as far as I see it, that's irrelevant in pointing out that video (in and of itself) should not be trusted by virtue of being video.

The fact that you can't imagine – and I don't provide – any alternative proposition does not make implicitly trusting video a good proposition.

But, yeah, I suspect reality will probably disappoint us both...
Over billing is a result of the complexity of the system. Care providers have to hire full-time staff trained to deal with insurance and file claims. Insurers negotiate rates with care providers that put them in a position of having no customers or ones they're paid poorly for. They have responded by playing games with billing and insurance to make ends meet.

Is it fair or honest? No but if they suddenly became fair and honest it would solve nothing because they're a symptom of the problem, not a source.

The problem is that Western countries in general now seem incapable of building new cities.

Particularly Canada. Government policy has destroyed Northern Ontario. Everyone is crowding into Southern Ontario.

The defining trait of modern Canada is doing less with more. This country has given up on building infrastructure. It's given up improving.

From the article: "Questions like 'is a computer creative' or 'is a computer an artist' or the like should not be considered serious questions, period."

Interesting that the concept that the computer is somehow doing the art itself, missing the point that a computer is a tool just like a paintbrush, was even around in '71.

One wonders when the paintbrush was invented if people argued people should still finger paint, and that the paintbrush alienated artists from their work. There's a tendency to see all technology from before you were born as natural, and anything newer as unnatural.
Attitude to what ?

To boss, you have an attitude.
To friends, you have an attitude.
To your serious project, you have an attitude.
And many more.
Correct me if I am wrong, but those decentralized exchanges don't seem to allow converting a token to dollars/euros/other currencies or vice versa.

I got a pair of HP200s in the 90s for 40 guilders ($20 USD). Easily the best value headphones I have ever purchased, was a shame when they got stolen.
The argument appears to be that using a computer to generate a piece of art is not a meaningful distinction from using e.g. a camera or a paintbrush, and so "computer art" is not a useful category. This appears to be couched in a more general political (and normative) theory of aesthetics which argues that art is (in the current political context) important insofar as it serves goals /beyond/ the production of "beautiful objects," e.g. highlighting inequity in the distribution of wealth, or other projects which serve the "needs of the people" contra "the rich and ruling."

What does that have to do with anything? That story wasn't even known at the time of the Tweet. I'm comparing the prominence that the Tweet was given with that of any other murder in the period it was on the front page.

Unless your ranking goes police officer murder > Taylor Swift Tweet > regular murder?

Even now, the front page is tracking Twitter rather than reality. There are multiple articles about women being unsafe on the streets of the UK, and how no-one cares about their plight. Women aren't even close to the most at-risk demographic for violent attacks. But that hashtag isn't trending, so who cares, I suppose.

That's what news = engagement gets you. You can't use the BBC or most modern news to get any sense of the relative magnitudes of society's issues. Rather, you get a feedback loop of the same topics that social media algos push.

The PennLive article is an example of "close paraphrasing" [1] or improper source citation. There are several sentences and phrases in it that are extremely similar or the same as those in the original Inquirer article. This is even true in the lead sentence - both articles contain the same phrase to describe the "deepfakes": "fake photos and videos that depicted the girl’s rivals naked, drinking, or smoking".

Most companies use remote dev APIs. You can have a versioned staging/production and then a dev API under continuous deployment is ideal, imho. This is an area where CI/CD shines.

A small company may run them locally as docker instance, but I think it's suboptimal and lots of unneeded overhead as you point out. If a frontend dev really needs to be offline, they can always switch to a docker instance (I haven't always had that option) but it's probably wise to normally use a remote dev API.
Speculation up in the sky isn't really a problem since a) it's a tax base b) it's not hurting you since it doesn't take up land c) a condo is strictly cheaper than a house on the same land.

If housing is expensive it's because there aren't enough houses or the land is too expensive, and it's true that much of this is due to zoning and similar restrictions like parking minimums.
> and this is especially true if some of the team members are young and inexperienced

I think this is the big one for me, at least with the experience of WFH for Covid, it is so much harder for people to ramp up and learn in a WFH situation, you can't just ask your neighbor about a weird compile issue, or why the IDE isn't able to run your tests and be helped promptly with them just showing you right away. Instead you ask in a Slack, get a slow churn of reponse, nothing helpful enough, so you then schedule an actual short meeting with someone else to walk you over it, etc. And this support doesn't naturally distribute like it would at the office, it seems it's always the same more senior person remotely who has to now help new members in these more formal ways.

I've also seen so much more just confusion around like, what to do, who's doing what, when to do it, etc. Getting everyone aligned and in-sync is much harder. And that adds a lot of overhead and creates a lot more churn I feel to projects.

On the flip side, when you have a clear task to do and you know what needs to be done and it doesn't depend on others, you can really crush through it. And you save a lot of time from commute, launches are faster, etc.

I've also found, appart from Covid, remote work is pretty nice in terms of work/life balance. You can make laundry while you work for example, saving you time in your day.

So I'm still a bit mixed feelings about WFH, I like some aspect of it, mostly no commute, convenience of being at home so I can easily cook my launches at launch time, do some laundry or have the oven repair person show up and manage them while I work and all that. But I also feel doing the actual day to day work is harder, the coordination overhead is pretty high, and everyone is more siloed, so anything that involves collaboration has more friction.

I think this is useful advice for individuals. It's also important to know that even if everyone truly followed the advice, some people would lose out by no fault of their own (for instance, capitalist economies as they currently function do not sustain full employment without government intervention - it boils down to simple accounting identities). Macro outcomes often are determined by other forces than the sum of individual actions - just something to keep in mind when you see advice for individuals.

This is an interesting, but obvious-in-retrospect, consequence of superposition. Amplitude is contributed by all paths, but it's contributed to a state (a way-that-the-universe-could-be). The history is irrelevant, unless it has an effect on the final state – which is always true in the macroscopic world, thanks to the second law of thermodynamics and historians and space probes and chaos theory, but not always true in the microscopic world, where things are simpler.

This means that multiple histories contribute to a final state-of-the-universe: If A→B→C and A→D→C are indistinguishable (because C is the same state as C) then they both contribute amplitude – in layperson's terms, both histories are happening in parallel, then combining when they get to the same state.

If you've got states X and Y, and you're doing something like XOR swap, then you can go (X, Y) → (X^Y, Y) → (X^Y, X) → (Y, X) or (X, Y) → (X, X^Y) → (Y, X^Y) → (Y, X). This isn't fundamentally different from the ABC / ADC case; it obviously follows that this would happen too, though I'd never though it of it before.

"mix of envy and a hatred of success"

No. It is distrust of such a erratic self loving obsessive fool.

Yes he is very smart, and is capable of assembling teams of fantastic engineers. But he cannot shut up. If it is tweeting jokes about taking Tesla private, slandering peopel who are doing the dangerous work and do not want his foolish interference (pedo guy), advocating (Dog help us!) Bitcoin. The lawsuits against whistle blowers. And here: his tolerance of fatal failures in his technology in favour of marketing and cash flow.

"aggressive disregard for the norms of society": If it were thought through and considered it would not be such a problem. If he were less intelligent, less driven, it would be less of a problem.

He is a fool. But a fool with a big stick. And that is a very dangerous thing
Inclusive zoning (the X% of a building must be affordable) is good because it's important to mix different economic classes in the same area. It makes the poor people richer and it makes commutes shorter.

When it gets high it's not a giveaway to developers. It's actually a backdoor way to ban housing construction; NIMBYs love to claim they want "real affordable housing" and then set the IZ requirement so high nobody can afford to actually create any.
