> the claim that a lot of people have it turned off is demonstrably false

Not unless you've taken a concrete definition for "a lot of people".

Even 1% of internet users is still a lot of people IMO. Like, on the order of tens of millions, right?.. That's bigger than whole countries.

Also keep in mind how outraging it feels to find yourself in that 1% that someone decided it was fine to ignore and discriminate against the mainstream. We all been there.

There is a solution to the housing problem besides home ownership and renting: Housing cooperatives. These are still relatively common in Germany, my parents live in a flat owned by a cooperative and are consistently paying less rent than I pay for my college dorms, despite living in the center of a major city.

The cooperative was founded by workers in the 19th century and has a single purpose: To provide affordable housing, satisfying the needs of their members. It isn't subsidized by the state, its business model is simply to distribute the expenses for building and maintaining the flats to their members.

Home ownership has the disadvantage of being too inelastic and imposing the risks of owning a house to individuals. Renting from a private company on the other hand means you constantly have to give up a significant portion of your income so someone else makes profit from basically doing nothing.

Cooperatives strike me as the best solution to this dilemma. It's of course not surprising that the Economist doesn't mention this at all, the flaws of their argument have been sufficiently demonstrated by other commenters. The basic recognition that home ownership is flawed is an important point though IMO.

Do LIDARs work under the same phase shift based ToF sensing?
One complaint here is that serial/parallel is not the way to think about most modern architectures. In modern architectures you are typically working with decoupled event buses which invert the relationship with dependencies. In this case, you become resilient to many negative impacts of tail latency as you're inherently eventually consistent.
For me, minimal is about what design elements and other details you decide to exclude, at a systems level. I think designs can be dense but minimal. e.g. check out the work of Ryoji Ikeda - information density stripped down to the bare essentials.

> The word cluster is an anachronism to an end-user in the cloud! I'm already running things in the cloud where there's elastic resources available at any time. Why do I have to think about the underlying pool of resources? Just maintain it for me.

Because very often, software that runs on clusters, requires thought when resizing.

In fact, I'm trying to think of a distributed software product where resizing a cluster, doesn't require a human in the loop making calculated decisions.

Even with things like Spark where you can easily add a bunch of worker nodes to a cluster in the cloud, there's still core nodes maintaining a shared filesystem for when you need to spill to disk.
Sufficiently intoxicated people will dance to anything

I've heard this sentiment before and I always wonder whether it has been given enough thought or whether it's really true for you and the people you know. I mean, me and me friends have left more than one party because we'd rather stroll around the neighbourhood than endure the music the DJ was playing. Admittedly that happened more when not using drugs but it's not like drugs suddenly just make you accept anything. Not even MDMA, which is the one which has plenty of potential in that direction.

People really underestimate how well the ussr did in ww2. Both in terms of the fighting and the result. Even with the Axis working to try and give the west as much aid as possible, Stalin controlled everything from the Rhine to the sea of Japan. The west's only real advantage was the US strategic airforce and nuclear weapons. The Soviets trumped those with their own bombs and sputnik within a decade.
> 135,000 more people left California than moved in last year.

If two rich Californians move out of the state and one poor starry-eyed college graduate moves in, the view that only one net-person moved out is too simplified.
Is it that hard to believe that they think there is a reasonable chance this ends up a giant, profitable business? Many things (twitter, airbnb are classic examples) looked trivial and stupid to many people (including me) at the outset. Jack Dorsey is a billionaire. So are the AirBnb guys. Chase Coleman is too. Andreessen and Horowitz. Uri Milner. These aren't dumb guys, and they aren't desperate.
In all honesty, this should not even be possible to require in a contract (and I'm fairly sure that it indeed isn't, in most EU countries), considering that employment contracts are negotiated from a position of power imbalance.
Yesss... But they probably are only counting aerodynamic flight.

I wish there was more about what it did after it dropped its load. Did it just fly until fuel ran out? Or fly for a minute and shut off? I think they did say it crashed, which was probably unnecessary, considering how far away it got. It probably could have set down neatly 100 ft away.
A lot of people grow up in an Urban environment, I don't really see any disadvantage to it. We get to meet a lot of people and there is always stuff to do. During COVID I am seeing a lot of talk about moving into the countryside with their children, as if their children are sheep which need a lot of open spaces in which to graze. But the will probably get bored and miss their friends, and probably force them to pack up and move back.
> The city started this program at the beginning of the 20th century when 300'000 people didn't have a place to live - it's obviously much better now. So maybe it's not a completely broken way of doing things?

Hard to say. How would Vienna look, and how many people would be able to live there at what cost if it hadn't? I'm absolutely not opposed to the state getting involved when there's a crisis, or the investments required are too large, e.g. creating the first power plants, railways etc. But if you let it remain with the state, you typically get crumbling infrastructure at high prices with lots of bureaucracy.

We have public housing in Germany, and it's nice-ish because the rents are cheap. But generally, the bureaucracy is large, the inefficiency and corruption runs rampant, the quality is subpar and they're constantly at risk to be sold off when the next mayor wants to spend money on a new air port or some policy their voters like.

The interest of the state are not aligned with those of renters. The state could certainly build great apartments, but only for a small number of citizens, while the rest would have to fund it. It then becomes a lottery: are you lucky enough to get one of the lottery apartments? Congratulations. For everyone else: well, sucks. We can remove the middle man bureaucracy in that case, just make everyone spend half their money on the lottery.

If you want the interests to align, just use a private entity, like cooperative housing. And the best thing about that? It's completely voluntary, no need for state involvement, no need to force others to fund it etc.

I don’t know how much you know about the atrocities the Japanese inflicted on everyone during WWII but things were much more civilized on the western front and you were dealing with the Nazis and Hitler there.
The Japanese were absolute insane and completely fanatics committing unspeakable atrocities.
Soldiers that fought the Japanese were absolutely destroyed for life and the Chinese were just one of the asian people suffering all kinds atrocities at their hands.

Japan was already defeated when those bombs were dropped but they were seriously planning to fight to the last man/woman/child. There were plans by the state of mass suicide if they failed.

Now you may think dropping 2 nukes on them is an atrocity of the worst kind by the white man but consider you don’t know as much as the people making the decision.
Is that density caused by confining the city to a small footprint? If not, how do the suburbs look? Are there density restrictions on the suburbs?

And on a non-financial view, how is the situation w.r.t. public transport and car usage?

I fully agree that density is not a silver bullet. My point is that artificially reducing density when there is a high demand for living places is bad. Both because of supply and demand, and also because of positive externalities from (voluntary) high density living.

It does seem to sometimes be the case that high density cities increase demand so much that prices remain the same, or increase. That sucks from the perspective of economic equality. However, from a perspective of creating value, this is amazing. It means that these dense cities give the same value (enjoyment of living there) to more people. Especially if (as you say lower in the thread) people aren't moving to the city for jobs, but for the city itself. That essentially shows that the city is just really nice to live in.

Sadly, it suggests that density sometimes does not help economic equality. But it is still a massive improvement to have people want to live in the city so much!

They also put a rotary volume control on my external DAC/headphone amp that cost a tiny fraction. And I must say I love that now I don't have to choose between two volume levels which are either a bit too quiet or a bit too loud.

And that no software automatically dials back the volume every 10-15 minutes with a notification telling me that it's convinced I'm damaging my ears.
Interesting they've got a screenshot of SerenityOS.org at the end of their home page, curious if their looking at SerenityOS's home grown LibWeb [1] C++ implementation for inspiration in their Go code-base?

SerenityOS is another Indie OS effort which plans to build the entire POSIX OS, Kernel and core Apps from scratch, one of the Apps their is their LibWeb browser engine complete with their own LibJS JS VM which already passes the vast ECMAScript test suite [2]. One of its USPs of SerenityOS is being able to make changes to its code-base and instantly reboot the OS in seconds with the changes, never seen this done for an OS before, the turn around time allows for some impressive dev iteration speed.

Andreas videos on developing LibWeb/LibJS is one of the best resources I've found explaining how to implement a web browser, e.g. in this video he goes through the HTML Specs which have enough info in them to develop a HTML spec parser whose behavior is the same across all browser engines:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZdKlyXV2vw

Most of the interesting parts of LibWeb/LibJS is captured on video that has a unique skill of being able to write code really quickly whilst explaining each step. There must be close to 100 videos on implementing different parts of the Web Browser on his YouTube channel, e.g:

You are aware that not all applications listen to the Internet, or need to, right?

My audio editor (GoldWave) is from 2000. It works fine. I can't even think about what "security consciousness" would be on a software that runs locally and doesn't have (or need) accounts.

Text editors fall into the same category.
Very good. Its a challenging task for sure and I respect those who are carrying this out.
I bought and sold a zx500. It basically got rid of everything good about the 300 except for the form factor.
I was at a conference where someone was showing off the TIDAL studio master stuff. It definitely sounded different, I heard things in songs that I've listened to for years that I've not heard before.

I then realized that the headphones cost around $2000 (Audeze LCD-3) and a dac that I didn't recognize, but I'm sure it wasn't cheap.

But there were too many variables to tell what made the difference. Was it the expensive headphones + dac? Was it the better quality audio? Was it the different mastering of the song that I know?

Either way, I still listen to my "shit" audio setup because it's good enough for me and what I'm used too.
You can try SciTE, a cross-platform Scintilla-based editor (similar to Notepad++).
I mean we all know what the solution is.

Get an agreement with your neighbor.

You could have shared mesh network, each (you, neighbor) with it's own vlan. You both win, great coverage and bandwith for both, and your AP's wouldn't fight (and cheaper too, since you need less overall AP's).

If talking is out, then you are only left with suboptimal options. Depending where you live mobile 5/4g might also be an option.

It certainly was a thing working for Telefónica in Germany. We needed to get separate permission to be allowed to do work/volunteering outside of the main role, which was conditional on you being able to complete the main task.

I heard a story of someone who had this permission revoked because they worked weekends as a DJ in Berlin, and would often take sick days/turn up late on Mondays to deal with the hangover.
He still has massive exposure to coinbase, certainly.

He no longer has the threat of poverty if his company fails. He has a nice 300 million cushion should anything go wrong. You could say that makes him less likely to put in maximum effort.
> That'd just make each individual eternally indebted to the state, at the whims of bureaucrats and vulnerable to political punishments while the costs wouldn't come down by much

In the 1970s in the UK, some on the left saw council houses as a bit like people see Universal Basic Income these days. That the state should provide everyone with a (modest) rent-free house.

That might seem extreme, but it was actually pretty moderate when the competition was soviet communism. And at the time interest rates were >10% so mortgages were a big risk and put a lot of money into someone else's pockets.

Some of the housing stock built in that time was really good quality; the council built it, and knew they'd have to maintain it, so they went for durable options even when they weren't the cheapest. Modern homes are lower quality in some regards, as the house builders know the maintenance is someone else's problem.

As long as free markets, open societies and capitalism are not merely the tools to achieve prosperity but serve as guiding values, there is no going back to the kind of beauty we once took for granted, and which you can see & feel in every old town part of ancient cities.

The current aesthetics are derived from applying the following optimization functions:

- cost: cheap / simple / flat is preferred over elaborate / ornate / pleasant

- power relations: megacorps and their necessarily globalist lowest-common-denominator taste determine what artists/graphic designers/... produce, instead of the singular "soul in the game" creator

- maximal international compatibility of products and services, resulting in a loss of regional diversity and the emergence of interchangeable architecture

- centralisation & accumulation of bureaucratic rules, regulation & power, resulting in regulatory capture / zoning laws / a plethora of second order effects

- increasing credentialism, leading to more things becoming "academic" and thus eliminate craftsmanship and its culture - see the decline of architecture

- joint stock corporations and the principal/agent problems that necessarily come with them, due to decoupling profit from responsibility
Cold emails :)

And, a great pitch about how this is a win/win, they get to feature their book alongside the list forever (plus switch it out when they have a new book coming out). And, they get to share their voice and expertise.
With and without kids makes a huge difference. Without kids and if your an introvert- it’s a no brained. Buy you that 15 acre ranch (just for looks, we know your a programmer)

If you have kids stay close to a larger city. Your kids will have more opportunity.

For anyone else looking. We took a two month road trip during the worst time of year (climate wise) and took a road trip to see where liked it best. We chose North Carolina and love it.

I grew up in a very pretty village in Scotland - from 0 to 11 or so it was awesome, from 12 to 14 it was mind numbingly awful, from 15 or so I could travel to the nearest town more easily and meet up with friends there and it went back to being awesome.

[Edit: Having parented teenagers I suspect the awfulness of the 12 to 14 age was probably more about me than anything else!]

I know a fair few of those people, except they didn't walk to the west, they sailed. Basically my parents, and my aunts and uncles.

Like I said elsewhere, it's a good attitude that you can do it, but it's not actually realistic that you can. People learn this the hard way in sports for example. We aren't all going to starting QB, there's only 32 of those jobs.

> Complaining about not being a billionaire's son is a waste of your life.

Well I actually went to school with a billionaire's kid, and I never thought I'd rather have his life. Nor did anyone else.

There's also a fair bit of gap between "oh why am I not a prince" and "everything I'm good at or want to do will cost me a huge amount of debt".

> What do they know that you don't?

People are mistaken about how other countries are all the time. Do you think Western defectors to the communist blocks were never disappointed?

Keep in mind not everyone knows everything, even after they turn 18.

If you think there's so much opportunity, why is it that people are complaining about the lack of it? Perhaps they've actually tried to search for them and couldn't find any?
I don't copy and paste from SO.

I sometimes type what is shown on SO, but not copy/paste, this just sits better with me, I get a deeper appreciatio of what it's doing even if I've read the code and understood it well, and it lets me use names that fit with the program and context of what I'm doing.

Often, I use the example on SO not as the solution, but as inspiration for one, and so I type only a modified subset of it, and at that point, it's just a lot easier to type it yourself than to copy/paste/modify it anyway.
