It feels like the leaderboard is still very present for you because of the huge effort and drive you're putting into ignoring it. At least that's the way it comes across to me in your comment. I think the core point of the article is to be a bit more Zen about it, and behave as if it doesn't exist. Moreover, I don't really think any "objective rank-ordering of you among your peers", which you seem to think does exist in a very real way, is actually meaningful. Perhaps an extension of the post would be that anything you can objectively rank yourself on is going to be a very narrow, unhelpful thing to consider.
Locals wouldn't get screwed if they advocated for better zoning policy and allowed more housing to be built.

This doesn't happen because those same locals that are homeowners love the value of their house exploding upwards
The journalists would see this as an impediment to them getting the "true story" (for whatever value of "X" that is) as it prevents them from "embedding" with the masses along with identifying the journo for violent actions. Not every "reporter" has a full camera crew.
That being said, there were examples of the vest you describe at the DC "insurrection", or at least I saw some some journos wearing neon-yellow reflective vests stenciled with "REPORTER" on the live feed.
Personally, I agree with you totally. Police & journalists should be clearly identified to better control things as it seems the default these days is to riot.
Building Homeward Bound: A 6 Month experiment to build a virtual art space
I’m excited to finally share an open-source passion project that was my muse for 2020, a web-based virtual art space to be shared and reimagined by creative communities everywhere.

Homeward Bound is the culmination of 6 months of experimentation, play, and the will to create in the face of paralyzing circumstances. If you missed the show, or couldn’t join us in for our weekly and monthly meetups, I’ve documented how 6 months of remote collaboration created a web-based virtual art space, and an opening night performance of Hamlet called HMLT: An abridged tumble through William Shakespeare’s Hamlet.

The platform has since been released as open source, modified and used in Secret Garden: an immersive web experience created by Stephanie Dinkins, an official selection of the 2021 Sundance Film Festival and is being further developed for a series of upcoming performances.
Capitalism is first and foremost a system to organize labour, and it is very efficient at organizing labour so almost every country uses it. Then what happens to the fruit of said labour is up to the people in a democracy, they can vote to tax it heavily and create a lot of social policies like the Scandinavians or they can vote to let most of it go to owners and managers like in USA.
I think that's properly called High Vernacular Brutalism.

Kidding aside, anyone looking at my site today can tell a) that I had no design skill when I set it up, and also b) that I sucked at picking Wordpress themes besides. I have some plans for that, but it's not really a high priority at the moment; other projects are interesting me more.

Probably depends on your definition of a decompiler. For me, a decompiler reverses to some extend the operation of a compiler. Variables instead of registers, function call arguments instead of stack pushs, etc.

Of course, you could also say that a decompiler is any tool that produces something from a binary that you can compile again. But in that case, I could claim that this here is also a decompiled program:

byte[] programbinary={ put binary of the program here };
runEmulator(programbinary);

This isn't true for everybody. There are genres of games dedicated towards extremely challenging mastery where a single win will require hundreds or thousands of losses. Plenty of roguelikes and roguelites like Spelunky and Caves of Qud fall in this category.

I want to look more into this because one player for Tidal/Spotify and my own library sounds very interesting.

Is there a way I can set this up right now when all I have is a Yamaha Receiver and an older Pi (and an older intel nuc), It's not immediately clear if I need an extra DAC or I can use the one builtin to the receiver.

The Yamaha MusicCast app also has Spotify+Tidal+MyMusic but the experience is horrible. So I usually just use Spotify Connect in the Spotify app to play on the receiver because the app experience is best there but music quality is less than Tidal. Tidal has better music quality but the Tidal app does not allow me to connect to the receiver.
I agree that kids in an urban environment can be very rewarding. I disagree that the urban environment found in the Bay Area is conducive to kids. Visiting the local park is great. Visiting the local park when the walk is littered with human excrement and discarded needles, not so much. No parent in their right mind would ever go on the BART with a child.

Same. You could generate a bunch of random notes using realistic string instrument samples, and be just as far from Bach.
Imagine the support infrastructure farmers and family need (schools, medical, stores, some entertainment maybe). And then all the infrastructure those workers need.

I think you are overestimating sales in rural areas and the number of houses. Here’s an article from Vermont where housing prices have soared during the pandemic and there’s a market shortage.

https://vtdigger.org/2021/04/19/home-sales-to-out-of-state-b...

>The tax department logged 3,795 sales to out-of-state buyers in 2020, compared to 2,750 in 2019. That represents about 27 percent of all residential sales in 2020, according to Deputy Tax Commissioner Rebecca Sameroff.

>The value of that real estate increased even more: $1.43 billion in residential real estate was sold to out-of-staters in 2020, a 79% increase over the $799 million sold the year before.

135,000 Californians could consume the real estate market of Vermont many times over.

Contrary to the basic laws of supply/demand housing prices tend to increase as quantity of housing increases.

To see this problem look at current and historical data only. Do not trend for the future.

The reason why this can occur contrary to the most basic principle of economics is because land is a fixed resource regardless of the frequency of housing upon it. Peoples’ perceptions of fixed resources doesn’t change regardless of frequency variations upon them resulting in trends that defy both pricing and availability as suggested by supply/demand.

The problem this causes is bad policy. There is always a perception of housing shortages. Sometimes there are housing shortages but far more often there are plenty of houses that new incumbents cannot afford. That is an availability problem but not a shortage. Building more housing to directly address that concern widens the gap between shortage and availability.

The speed with which that housing is built is a direct correlation to the rate of value increase of existing homes. That increased value drives up property taxes. This change is immediately felt by property owners. For rental properties this change results in a short term loss of capital and a lagging price hike to the renters to make up the difference. That delayed variance of price increase increases demand of ownership without addressing availability.

Here is my real world example:

I live in one of the fastest growing areas of the US. In 1990 my city was less than 450,000 people. The city was considered large but not amongst the largest in the US by a long shot. In 2010 it was around 750,000 and the 2019 estimate put it at about 910,000 making it the 13th largest city in the US.

I bought my house as a foreclosure after the crash in late 2009 (2800sqft) for 129k retail before fees and taxes. In the past few years they projected housing shortages so there is a shift from building hundreds of homes per year to apartments. As a result, last year alone, houses have increased in value 50%. More than month ago the price of lumber dramatically increased and rapid inflation become apparent. In the past month the value of my house has increased by more than 10%. More than hour away my mom’s house has increased by nearly 11% over just the past month and they aren’t even doing any construction there.

EDIT

I am curious to see any real world cases where housing prices went down as a result of building more housing.
> Wouldn't the state have to acquire the land and keep up with building codes as well?

The issue is to acquire land suitable for housing, which is scarce. The suitability itself is defined by various regulations. The state can (and should) change the regulations. The state can (and should) update the building codes, too.

> Cooperatives are member-owned...

Yes that is clear, but as they are explicitly not the state, the state has sadly no incentive to help them. The state also does not help the cities to build housing. The private developers always find a way to build flats, but as you can probably imagine, sometimes corruption can be involved and that makes the resulting product expensive.

Also cooperatives are problably not really trusted here; people fear being taken advantage of, so they mostle care about themselves. Each one for himself, that is our society in a nutshell. See also Covid mortality. Sorry for the off-topic.

> Why aren't more rentals being created in Slovakia? Just because of social stigma of not owning?

Partly that. Also the aforementioned complications mean that new developments are expensive and are marketed as luxury. And the demand for housing is huge so the developers are catering to the high-margin end of market and are not interested in long-term rented property management.
I’m a bit disappointed by the naming convention. There is mayo and sauce components. Mayo is not a typical hotdog condiment and sauce seems a bit generic. And then there is gg.

If it was CPU emulator, it would update all the flags everytime performing any ALU operation (I have seen this approach in one source-to-source compiler). Actually, there is not much you can do: If the instruction stores SP into DS:123, it converts the instruction into simple assignment *((WORD*)&memory[ds*16+123]) = sp. All the ALU operations are directly calculated using the target instruction set, the flags register is updated only when necessary. Nor the memory is emulated, it directly accessess the memory buffer (in the video there are just extra range checks, even the *16 operation can be optimized replacing ds/es with memory pointers). Only thing that is emulated is the EGA adapter.

I think you can totally do what you're saying and the user interface will be great, although local to the speakers. I'm not sure if iPod DAC can actually faithfully process 24/96? If so, that's an option via flac. Once you add speakers to your set up, you're looking at the same price as the chain I suggested.

The benefits of going the hifiberry route are:

- You connect from any device on your network and tell the pi to stream - either from a local NAS or from a hq streaming service like tidal

- It can pull and faithfully process 24/96 master streams and MQA

- You don't need to use a user interface on the device itself or load files onto it

- Bit of hobbyist fun

The thing is, what the "best" tool is, is relative to your requirements. I much prefer "Use the right tool for the job", as it makes it less cargo-culty and emphasizes that it's not always right.

For example, if your build process is very slow and you for some reason have to have it be very fast, esbuild is probably the right tool.

But if instead your goal is to build a large community of developers who can change their own tooling, webpack is probably the right tool as it's by JS developers, for JS developers.

Overall I agree with you, just nitpicking a bit I guess :)

No structural homelessness problem (beyond the rare addiction victim), new social housing being built rather than relying on housing built 60+ years ago, no/few state subsidies to a private rental sector preying on social tenants etc etc. Just because it is not perfect doesn't mean it isn't better than 95% of the alternatives.

One place that does it better is Austria - the Vienna model of social housing provision enables lower classes to live well in what is one of the world's most expensive places to buy housing in.

They loose data over time. If you reformat them, they are fine accepting new data.
In an ideal world that might be true, however, in our world currently there's no such thing as "your quota of spectrum"; wireless spectrum is a shared resource but people are allowed to hog it. FCC does not prescribe that the spectrum usage should be shared equally or equitably; within the allowed limits and without intentional harm (e.g. deauthers) you're each allowed to try and use as much as you can. The person running 120 or 200 or 1000 devices is entitled to assert that they don't, in fact, owe anything to their neighbours - on the other hand, they would be entitled to protection and FCC intervention if the neighbours attempt to deauth their devices as suggested in other comments. You're welcome to try and hog the shared resource yourself, but preventing others from hogging a lot of the shared resource is illegal.

Sure, there are scarce resources; and what we're seeing is the expected results of the tragedy of commons for a shared resource.

Just to add to what everyone else is saying. Quiescent current is the current the chips use doing nothing at all. It's a static power consumption. With this older hardware, my guess is it's shockingly high.

This test could have been a little better, if they measured current between the GB and the cartridge explicitly. Also, would want to check the voltage on the cartridge downstream of the shunt to make sure it's not browning out under the burden voltage of the current meter, and causing an artificially high current usage. (Though, going through the GB itself might address this...)

This seems like a really odd reason to care about multiple implementations: firstly because it's a steam hammer to crack a walnut (there are much more effective and cheap ways to obfuscate code than just using a different compiler), and secondly because it's not very effective: compiler identification is fairly straightforward, both for experienced reverse engineers and the tools that they use.
Isn't it? I think it depends on the art.

You can learn a lot about wasps from the pictures I take of them, but the giant triptych of a hunting P. metricus forager that spans one wall of my living room doesn't convey the same meaning that a series of illustrations in an entomology textbook would.
And when that happens, you can complain. But until then, I think it's widely considered okay to collect small amounts of data (literally a single bit) on which features are enabled, so features can be better worked on. Firefox does it by default for example.
