Judging other people's lives is a constant feature of my existence. Is starving yourself to be a model a good life, is being a porn star better than my life, should Donald Trump be happy with his life, were British coal miners' lives worth living. I worry that I'm getting my own life wrong and think I'm hot shit when I'm a loser, or that I'm living the life of a loser when I could be enjoying it. Basically, a social animal should constantly be evaluating whether its opinion of its own life is correct, so as not to have unwarranted confidence or low self-esteem.

"These days, many people who don't have explicitly racist motivations support zoning laws because they like the status quo, even though the status quo bans the construction of affordable housing in most of the city."

I don't think status quo is the only reason. Property values near more dense development are likely to suffer.

What bubble? People will never leave San Francisco en masse. The "exodus" during the pandemic will be the greatest outflow of people from the city for the next decade.

San Francisco can build more housing to accommodate a higher population or let its poorest citizens get priced out. Either way people will not stop coming.

Mixed trains in Factorio offer some awesome benefits if you're a bit creative.

Especially because filter-inserters are cheap and plentiful. So its very easy to reconstruct "main belts" from a mixed Factorio train.

I've lost the blueprint for this 'Trainmall' I made a few playthroughs ago, but the idea is to:

1. Have a generic train loadout that can build any base.

2. Have a small set of "standard" assembly machines that can feed red-requester chests, so that construction-bots can build any (reasonable mid-game) design you can imagine. Remotely and automatically.

Carrying Electric Miners / AM1 machines is inefficient. One base may require miners, while a 2nd base may require assembly machines. By "assembling in the field", the singular iron + gears + circuits (+other stuff) train can feed many different bases without any reconfiguration at all.

Only made possible with mixed-trains.

Sure — you throw them in the Kube secret manager.

But now you have multiple config files (smart) or your entire config outside the repo (not smart). This isn’t always the wrong approach — SSH keys get loaded this way, for instance.

ENV variables naturally provide a way to layer content from different sources in a way that files don’t, so if you have a relatively simple config from multiple providers (eg, getting AWS session token from the host plus your environment config from the launch ENVs) it’s easier to use the K-V store nature of ENV variables versus multiple files.

Again, multiple config files isn’t always wrong — but using that to store single strings instead of ENV variables is a code smell, for sure.
Just as DevOps thought of closing the lid for Easter. Nice.
I'm actually more optimistic than that.

I read an interesting article arguing that "the people who deserve the vaccine the least, should be the ones getting it first". As in, the kid who irresponsibly goes to Miami on spring break, should be the person getting the vaccine first- because vaccinating super spreaders would save more lives than vaccinating someone who stays home anyways. So arguably, the people who are most likely to transmit the disease should get vaccinated first.

The flip side of the coin is people who are most likely to catch the disease- probably already did. I can name a handful of people who I'm facebook friends with, who gave no shits about staying at home and caught covid already a few months ago.

So now, 1 year into the lockdown, the people who are most likely superspreaders- already got infected and are mostly immune. On the other hand, we're going to have 1/3 or 1/4 of the population still stay at home regardless of what the govt says.

So a significant percent of the population isn't contributing to spread anymore, even if they're not vaccinated.
This seems like the most logical argument to me. His body may have deteremine and locked on to some other protein in whatever variant infected him rather than the one targeted by the vaccines that I believe all 3 currently approved vaccines go after.
I'm aware of very limited cases in which there is minimum density zoning on lots. It is just that given a vacant lot within a demand area developers are going to naturally build the highest density legally allowed.

I'm fairly certain you could buy an apartment building in Manhattan, demolish it, and build a picket-fence house there. It was just lose you tens or hundreds of millions of dollars so no one has done it.

From what I can tell the way that interactive was constructed it would also highlight a lot if it fell into the category you mentioned but I can't find any where this is the case. It is a one-side problem and to pretend like it is two-sided is a bit detached from reality.
This is a cool idea regardless of being simple or complex. Who cares, its cool.

Nice job
It's not clear that bytecode changes are needed for efficient pattern matching support.
Java is getting pattern matching support. The related JEPs mention that:
The implementation will likely make use of dynamic constants
https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/309
I strongly suspect that Scala could be more efficient if it used it too. However I have no idea if this could improve compile time. (kotlin has until now procrastinated implementing pattern matching support because they say it increase compile time, but maybe that doesn't hold with constant dynamics)
Has anyone ever tried to compile it? It doesn't work for me:

Days, months, and years based on the cycles of the planet make sense on Earth, but not as much on Mars.

Almost all Martian settlers will be living underground, and even aboveground the light at mid-day is extremely dim. You can set the day to whatever length you want, regardless of the Martian sol, and nobody will notice.

Likewise, months and years on Earth are for tracking agricultural seasons, but nobody will be growing crops on the Martian surface. Set the year to whatever you want, with or without months, and no civilians will notice.
Food deserts are a matter of lack of demand, not supply. Where poor people want fresh food the market is quite willing to sell it to them.

> THE GEOGRAPHY OF POVERTY AND NUTRITION:
FOOD DESERTS AND FOOD CHOICES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES

> We study the causes of “nutritional inequality”: why the wealthy tend to eat more healthfully than the poor in the U.S. Using two event study designs exploiting entry of new supermarkets and households’ moves to healthier neighborhoods, we reject that neighborhood environments have economically meaningful effects on healthy eating. Using a structural demand model, we find that exposing low-income households to the same food availability and prices experienced by high-income households would reduce nutritional inequality by only 9%, while the remaining 91% is driven by differences in demand. In turn, these income-related demand differences are partially explained by education, nutrition knowledge, and regional preferences. These findings contrast with discussions of nutritional inequality that emphasize supply-side issues such as food deserts.

I’m afraid I would not hire someone with that sort of outlook, nor do I believe that you could reliably produce software at any great speed that way.

Unit tests show you that the code does what it’s supposed to. Without them you haven’t demonstrated that, just asserted it, nor have you left a system that can be picked up by others with a reasonable expectation that if something does break, it will be caught.
They probably didn't intend for the headline to read "One hundred mega posts," so if anything you're arguing in favor of how they wrote it.

Higher kinded types do make some features obsolete, but checker has MapKey checker, Lock and Index checker, and while locks may not be needed that often with everything is immutable by default mode, concurrency is hard and that alone is not always enough. While index errors are not as frequent in Haskell, due to (Head:Tail), but if you do use Array, you can’t express indexing safely without dependent types.

I’m not saying that it is better in every aspect than haskell (not too familiar with ocaml), but java is an easy and extremely popular language. And thus it has really really great tooling, and with annotations it is really extensible.

And if static analysis is not enough, there is also JML.

Also, checker taps more into intersection types, which is not really expressible in Haskell, but I’m yet again not knowledgeable enough on this latter, correct me if I’m wrong.
its gotten better but its still not great.

Airtable | San Francisco, CA or Mountain View, CA | Onsite | Software Engineer, Product Engineer, Data Engineer, Data Scientist, SRE

[COVID-19: The whole company is currently working remotely. Employees can be fully remote until at least summer 2021.]

Airtable's mission is to democratize software creation by enabling anyone to build tools that solve their unique problems. Our current product includes a real-time collaborative database and a rich set of components that enable applications and workflows to be assembled around that database. Unlike single-purpose apps, we think of Airtable as a toolkit of building blocks that people can repurpose to create their own applications. Our roadmap is filled with enhancements and additions to this toolkit that will push the boundaries of Airtable's capabilities.

Here's a blog post about some of the technical decisions behind a recent project to add a lightweight scripting layer on top of the core product: https://airtable.news/creating-a-scripting-environment-for-a...

We're hiring software engineers for web (JavaScript + TypeScript, Node, React), iOS (Objective-C, Swift), and Android, as well as data engineering, data science, SRE, and many other roles.

We're a team with diverse backgrounds. We believe in the power of highly motivated and capable individuals to accomplish great things in small teams, with end-to-end ownership of projects and rapid iteration.

It does. I even provided a citation several weeks ago in another thread, though a quick Google search seems to bring up ample support of its own.

Like me you may have disabled it and forgotten. Whenever I get a new laptop at work I tend to go through and change all the defaults, such as reverting to plaintext composition, and habitually disable external image loading as part of the process.

The iPhone Mail app may have saner defaults, however, but I don't have an iPhone and have never used its e-mail client.
For a person living on Mars it makes sense to align the time to Martian solar day iff their daily life is linked to outdoors activities in sun. However, if they are expected to stay indoors or even underground facilities (which IMHO is very, very likely at least for the first decades for various reasons) then the outdoors day is simply irrelevant, and it makes all sense to coordinate with Earth time for all your activities and just look up local solar time only when you need to schedule activity outside the base in the "wilderness" - where you're anyway going to spend just some hours, not a whle day/night cycle.
This is really cool! I would say though that the auto-created groups move themselves to the far left when a tab is added, overriding the manual placement of a manual group.
One of my policy for all employees or contractors is that "make" (and optionally "make test") in the root of a repo should always "do the thing".

We have a de facto, decades old standard for a "run the tests" or a "build the damn thing" big red button. We should use it, even if it's just a few line wrapper over npm run or docker build or whatever. (The fact that it could be either is the reason that there should be a standardized entrypoint.)

To add an additional layer to this, unions are a market level element, not something individual to one company, so unions don't threaten Amazon in any way, in fact they might help amazon further increase their moat by increasing the barrier to entry.

Unions are a threat to the billionaires, not the company. So this is also to say that Amazon will lie when there is a risk to the bottom line of it's ownership. That is very different than being willing to lie if the company itself is threatened.

> Why is that a problem?

Shelter is one of the few goods which a society necessarily needs. The alternatives (being homeless) are unacceptable. People give up food, electricity and healthcare before they give up shelter.

It's fine at a micro scale (oceanfront is expensive, but a few blocks away is affordable), but causes incredible problems at a macro scale as the bay area demonstrates (people not able to live within 50+ miles of their support networks). It is VERY hard to uproot an entire life and move to an area where cost of living is lower, especially when you are poor. People in poverty form informal local support networks (neighbors watching kids, friends that can loan you $5 to top up your phone), making it that much harder to move to a lower cost area.

9 months ago one of my closest friends called me with the fear that he wouldn’t be alive to see the end of the year. We had tough conversations, embraced vulnerability and took action together.
Since that day, we have managed to go from phone call to mock-ups, from prototypes to business plans, from safety to access, from paid to free, and ALL while not only building a company that is set to make a lasting impact on the world around us, but also a greater appreciation for the power of what a simple phone call as friends can lead to.

What happens when the US bans Bitcoin?
What wrecked the economies was the length of the pandemic. If we actually locked down for a month or so we might have had a shot at beating it with less long-term misery, but since covid was so politicized and government was too timid to actually do that, we half-assed it instead, and here we are a year later.

Go outside Silicon Valley and a few other metro areas, and you'll still see widespread lack of enforcement. Most of the good behavior has been voluntary. Good people/businesses listening to health guidance. Nobody is getting pulled over in rural America and fined for violating stay-at-home. If I wanted to, I could "unessentially" drive across the state of CA right now, sit down at a fully-open bar or restaurant unmasked, and nobody would lift a finger to stop me.
Did anyone in the comments even read the article or did they just skim the title and decide to chide America since that's so du jour right now?

The gist of the article is that an enormous crisis created strains on connecting people and free meals, but various entities stepped up to the plate and came up with flexible solutions (school districts delivering meals on school buses or making food available for pickup, cities paying restaurants to feed seniors, expansion of federal funding, food banks and churches expanding their food operations, etc.).

The title could've been "US system of free and subsidized meals bends but does not break", but that just doesn't get clicks, does it? Negative title creates negative emotions, which leads to negative thought patterns (America sucks!!), and then the cycle continues.
Yeah, the idea is it'll someday be illegal to have a copy of something that isn't on an NFT chain somewhere.
Ah yes that is true, I plan on making the auto layout enforcement something that you can toggle off in settings within the next week or so.
Yeah I don't know how people miss that but I guess a lot of people read to support their opinions rather than for the truth.
Maybe not yet. Rockets keep getting cheaper and more accessible. Eventually you'll be able to buy a used SpaceX booster second hand for a few million.
I'm not going to claim that everything in the DoD is well-managed, but don't discount the advantages China has in gaining more advantages. The PLA never has to cut its budget due to a lack of political will, and China has no qualms about riskier espionage that may get more agents killed or captured but results in being able to steal more advancements in military tech.
Ding ding ding. As a sender, the upside is that virtually all GUI users will see the images without prompts or placeholders; the downside is that you don't get a read receipt. As a (GUI user) recipient, the upside is that you will see the images without prompts or placeholders while preserving your privacy; the downside is that you hit your storage quota way sooner.

Technically, embedded images are a lot like attachments, but mail clients are smart enough not to display the little has-attachment paper clip download widget because the MIME headers for the image will say "Content-disposition: inline" instead of "Content-disposition: attachment". Then the HTML img element references it using the cid: scheme instead of the https: scheme or similar. Anyway, the experience is great.

I suspect Mail Studio doesn't offer this because its MO is that "Designs are exported as standard HTML and can be imported in your email marketing platform of choice." This embedded image technique would require that Mail Studio export (or send) the entire multipart MIME message, not just the HTML part.
Yup, it does seem to be coming back alive. A 3rd party API that I use is in an Azure data center. My customers were reporting outages, but I just got a text from a customer that things are working in real life. So, coming back up!

From the wikipedia page for Meltdown: "On 8 May 1995, a paper called "The Intel 80x86 Processor Architecture: Pitfalls for Secure Systems" published at the 1995 IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy warned against a covert timing channel in the CPU cache and translation lookaside buffer (TLB). This analysis was performed under the auspices of the National Security Agency's Trusted Products Evaluation Program (TPEP)."

Righto, I was considering Linux only, I don't personally care much for POSIX. I don't think ISO C standard sets any strong requirements. But yes, if you want maximum portability then you probably should be pretty conservative with environment.
