> It does in places with reasonable zoning laws

I don't know why anyone would believe that. It doesn't even work in places with no zoning restrictions at all. Building up gets you more housing, sure, but it also costs way more cash per square foot, it inherently drives the price of all nearby housing higher.

> higher housing prices cause people to reduce the square-footage they occupy as well.

This is just "famine" being spun as a benefit. "Bread prices at $10,000 per loaf and rising is good, actually. It will help those silly obese Americans lose weight!"
If you like the stuff in RTK so far, I think you're going to like our upcoming "RTK Query" API, which adds a React Query-inspired data fetching abstraction:

https://rtk-query-docs.netlify.app

We're working on finalizing that API and will be merging the functionality and docs back into RTK itself for an upcoming RTK release:

It absolutely sucks that we got these silly non-metrics units in widespread use.

No matter how you read a^b log(c), the multiplication is implied. The original confusion is whether it's to be read as (a^b)log(c) or a^(b log(c)). a^b*log(c) simply removes the implied multiplication, but it does not change whether that should be read as (a^b)*log(c) or a^(b*log(c)) and thus does not resolve the original confusion.
Oh, I agree, I would be in favour of it also.

I'm just trying to see it from the POV of a reporter or editor desperately trying to avoid getting tasked with a top 10 list article.

Actually, maybe adding actual goddamned references would increase their newsworthiness.

There is also the issue though, that journos/editors aren't experts, and could linking to a paper be construed as endorsing it, when it might turn out to be wrong?
There's a rather fun sort of paradox here. For example, I just finished reading a book on Maxwell and Faraday, and they were both ambitious individuals who pursued their own view of things with little regard for the consensus of their day. It was to some extent due to their radical individualism that they were so revolutionary.

On the other hand, they were both built up by other people. They had their influences, their sponsors, their teachers and their friends. They lived in a society that put value on and supported individuals doing science.

So I think I agree with you, but with the addition that there needs to be a group that nurtures individuals for them to be effective. This is, I believe, the reason there was no scientific revolution in China despite the high level of development there for so long: individual accomplishments were inevitably done in service to the emperor, so revolutionary changes were discouraged, even feared, in favor of technology to maintain the harmony of society.

People misunderstand Rand because a lot of her ideas are irreparably contradictory.

I have found that her work has become a bit like the Bible: you can find a way to justify a lot of what you want to believe, and then you can discard the rest. Most of the Rand-lovers I know vote for Republicans and some vote for Democrats. Some (or all) of those votes must conflict with Objectivism, since so many of the parties' policies are opposite.

> Instead, the utopia in the book is one in which people voluntarily associate to form a society.

This is why I believe that governments should obsessively do two things: A) protect the rights and opportunities of children, who can't enter a social contract; and B) pay the costs of someone exiting the social contract.

For example, I believe the US government should offer people the cost to travel to any other country once. They would revoke their citizenship and their right to live in the US permanently.

After that, we can more honestly say that citizens have entered into the social contract and may be held to it.
I find your sentiment to be better rephrased as:

> I dislike the degree to which people are fascinated by serial killers/criminals in general

People seek this stuff out ravenously. Most of the supply of information, at least to me, appears to be driven by the demand for it. I've never been particularly interested in it, personally.

> People with behavioural disorders need neither be forgiven their transgressions, nor publicly berated in some infantile display of tyranny, but may/should instead be quietly levered out.

I agree with that. I don't call for forgiving RMS, just for proportionate measures to contain his behaviour while not depriving him from his life's work. I believe we went from wrist slaps ("please do not handle your cards inside the conference venue") to mob lynching ("RMS should cease to exist").

Being a member, but not a president, of the FSF board seems like an appropriate middle road to me. And it's up to the rest of the board that reinstated him to keep him contained. In the meantime, anyone else is welcome to: Not invite RMS to their conference. Refuse him registration, if he tries. Give his photo to the security, if needed. That would be proportionate and warranted measures, until RMS provenly gets his act straight. And if he's not ok with that, he's still free to willfully resign.
To expand on the other commenter who posted the 'bullying' article I think the flipside of this idea is also important to remember:

Harassment is not a criticism of ideas.

I work in academia, there are good ideas and bad ideas. There are good and bad discussions of good and bad ideas. There are well formed and also poorly formed critiques. Rarely can you simply categorize something into only one category.

All of these are separate from bad faith actors and asshole colleagues. My general rule is if someone feels the need to end their 'critique' by explicitly stating it is a criticism not harassment, its probably harassment. If it wasn't, the criticism would speak for itself and stand on its own.

The simplified and mythicized narratives of how scholarship works and the increasing esotericism of some fields discourse leave them increasingly open to bad faith attacks.

To the letter you posted, you can easily find signs of what I am talking about:

>"First, if there’s an institutionalized rule that criticism of academic work is harassment, how would Critical Theory, which is entirely predicated on criticizing existing systems, have emerged? "

This is a straw man, no such idea was proposed in the original article. Instead, what the original author did was draw clear bounded lines between critique and sicking the twitter verse on academics you disagree with and noting that Prof. Boghossian did the later and claimed it as the former.

>"Ruth’s article criticizes my use of Twitter, but criticism of academic ideas should not be locked wholly behind the paywalls of scholarly journals because ideas coming out of the academy affect everybody. Beyond the academic merits of open inquiry and free discourse, the public has a right to know what’s happening in universities — especially in public universities like Portland State. One reason I use Twitter is to inform the public of what is going on in university classrooms and in what counts these days as academic scholarship."

Subtle but critical in here is a shift from critiquing ideas in academia, in the first sentence, to this entirely different idea of 'revealing the truth' in the last one. If he was engaged in sincere critique, this paragraph wouldn't end the way it does. It is a transition from purporting to criticize ideas and engage in scholarly work to trying to shame universities for treating certain people's work as scholarship in the first place. Its gatekeeping as opposed to critique.

In other words, reading this as an academic, this is weaponized and knowing bad faith that relies on the (often unfortunate) simplifications that academics have allowed to perpetuate about what is and is not scholarship. Put it this way, the original article only mentioned people by name once, and used their full name. The response used the original authors first name repeatedly. That is an intentional slight, especially when deployed against female academics, and the author knows it.

>Is it bad practice to use more than one SSH keypair?

Not that I'm aware of. You could actually argue that it's bad practice to not have different keypairs for eg signing commits, authenticating to github, and using shell accounts on different services. Most people like me are just too lazy to do that, but you could use a `host: *.domain` line in your ssh config to do it.
I’ve had many people tell me that have this special mutation. They all stunk.

I suppose it is possible and I’m around them all the time without knowing. But I’ve probably encountered 30 people who said this and it’s kind of an odd thing to mention to coworker or classmate or casual friend. But they all had an unpleasant odor. Aside from maybe 1-2 close friends I never argued with them or confronted them, but thought it was funny how they would go out of their way to say they don’t stink but they actually do.

Helps remind me that I’m probably wrong about many things I deeply believe are right.
Some constructive criticism to submitter/author:

You're not noticing that you're inadvertently referring to "solutions" in multiple meanings which leads to false equivalence: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivocation

E.g. "solution" in "they are solutions, and you shouldn’t learn to use solutions" in your 1st paragraph is referring software tools -- but 2nd paragraph of "solutions" in "bring me solutions, not problems" is about answers or actions to take irrespective of tools.

Because of the above confusion, I think a more accurate title and angle for your essay is "Learn about problems, not specific software tools" ... because people do care about solutions in the generalized non-software-tool sense. E.g. the recent mRNA vaccine is a "solution" to slowing down COVID that's crippling the world.

Also, the following is hard to parse and could use some wordsmithing:

>"(AI is kind of hot, but there are a a ton of wannabe data scientists and few open roles, while the opposite is true for DevOps, study linear algebra and probability theory, either, React, it’s hype),"
And the post couldn’t be older since it has a photo from a satellite that was launched this year. My guess it is some automated task that got confused because the post is in a forum, not a regular blog post with a publishing date.

I looked up Slovakia data specifically.

Deaths:
2020: 59,000 [1]
2019: 52,234 [2]
2018: 53,914 [2]

So a 9.4% increase from 2018 to 2020.

By contrast, Sweden had a 5.7% increase. [3]

Slovakia has lockdown and curfew.

Isn't the conclusion here that lockdown in Europe is failure, when with only voluntary measures Sweden was able to achieve a lower death rate?

[2]https://countryeconomy.com/demography/mortality/slovakia
[3]https://www.statista.com/statistics/525353/sweden-number-of-...

It seems implausible that lockdowns in Slovakia have achieved anything - by contrast lockdown may be contributing to deaths since people are not seeking regular medical care:

Dark forest. Technological explosion.

Sure, but mostly it works the other way, where the law is the result of the beliefs, not cause.

There are huge areas where the law is routinely broken (by civilians, law enforcement) and there is no consequences. (Petty theft, violence against poor people, tax evasion.)
We aren't killing each other because we both believe in individualism. "You go your way and I'll go mine". It isn't any of my business what you think as long as it doesn't interfere with me. This is an idea invented rather recently by especially cultivated Brits.

Look at the Uighurs and the Rohingya. That's what happens when a group exists outside some political consensus in the absence of individualism. History is chock full of wars and genocides that are incomprehensible to us because we believe in individualism and those people didn't.

Why would the Catholic Church give a shit about the Cathars? It makes no sense to us, but they did, enough to kill as many Cathars as they could find.
This autistic had successfully led the free software movement for more than three decades. So maybe he's more fit for the position than a PR spewing drone.

That is the argument. The US is huge and very sparsely populated for most of it. The cost and quality/reliability of a network connection scale with physical distance.
Option A) the companies are misogynist and prefer to inconvenience women. Option B) they're ambivalent and don't care about market opportunities and making more money. Option C) their market analysis shows that women don't buy them, despite what some women say online about what they'd want.
no...its saying exactly the opposite.

questioning is good.

claiming academic freedom to drive targeted Harassment of people you do not like is not criticism.

The first article is talking about what is and is not criticism, it is not talking about who is and who is not allowed to perform critique.

If you and I disagreed in a meeting, even if we had a serious argument, I'll accept that as critique. If I followed it up by convincing all our coworkers to write you emails telling you to kill yourself, that isn't criticism thats harassment.

You have to remember that before COVID19, we had SARS, MERS, swine flu, bird flu. All of these were huge news panics, lots of people got scared and started prepping for the end of the world, but for people in the west it largely ended up a nothing-burger. In the early days it's hard to know how bad something really is. Especially with the early info out of China being so unreliable (e.g. all those videos of people randomly falling down in public)

But once it hit Italy bad, there were no more excuses.

Android is built on GPLv2 Linux. GPLv2 does not protect the user against locked down hardware and firmware. In contrast, GPLv3+ does protect the user. The user does not have the freedom to modify their software on their hardware, so there is much less freedom.
why do you think compensation tied to "higher level"? Also why do think "senior" is higher level? It it because of year of experience or kind of tasks? If it is because of kind of task senior does , does it mean what junior does is less valuable? Who decides? Can we not question whole foundation of compensation and "title" based system? Of course I am not asking you to answer. Just thinking aloud here :)

As someone who has experienced some of this, the criticism isn't being dismissed because its disrespectful. It is being dismissed because the disrespect is the point, and the only point in many cases. It is not criticism, the criticism is a bad faith label to immunize the disrespect from consequences.

One was first for trying to fly and gliding for a hundred meters. Because we don't use jets today in modern planes, one was first to use jets on a plane.

This kind of analysis assumes the price would go that high if people had winterized their equipment. The price only went that high because the grid had basically already failed. It's extremely unlikely it would go that high if the grid was functioning. So the incentive to get that payout only exists if the grid falls over anyway. Basically this either allows smaller actors (who can't prevent the crises) to take a bet with long odds and a large payout (already not a winner as far as infrastructure investments go), or it basically removes its own incentive if enough of the larger actors take steps to avoid it.

Basically I think this idea of ultra-high pricing during a crisis providing an incentive to prepare for one (as opposed to paying for the capacity to that the crisis doesn't occur in the first place), is not necessarily well-formed: it's feels like it's assuming the market remains efficient in one half while it also requires that the market has effectively failed due to the crisis we're trying to structure the market to prevent.

I had the same experience with ubuntu upgrades. Something was always broken.

I don't think you can blame linux, it's just a specific distro trying to do a task which is too hard and fail.

Not sure if it's still the case with ubuntu, I just run Arch which is a rolling release distro; I decide when to upgrade and what it implies + their info on breaking updates is always punctual.
