> Let's bypass democratic majority rule,

The trouble is that it is only a local majority. There are a larger number of people who would like to live in high-demand areas, but they can't vote to make that possible because they don't live there.

> by taking away something people vote to protect - and not just anything, but their homes -,

No-one is suggesting taking away their homes. Just making it more uneconomical to sit on land that has been improved by the state and profit from the ensuing increase in value. I personally would advocate for making these changes to the tax system very slowly, perhaps over the course of 20 years or so.

> and consolidating its ownership to fewer rich property moguls and conglomerates

They don't necessarily have to be rich. I personally wouldn't ever invest in a property conglomerate - they're far too unprofitable and buffeted by political winds. Software is where the money is at, but if you're on this website you already know that.

A simple option, most countries already have land tax. Just make this proportional and federal.

And by proportional I mean like income tax, so the first $1m is 0%, $1m - $3m is 1%, etc

Not sure the best numbers but should be something were most people dont pay, even can have an investment property to cover need for a rental market, but if you have significant holdings it kicks in, and people with residential empires should basically be untenable unless it is short term holding to renovate etc.

Also could apply top rates to residential property with corporate or foreign ownership so residential is for people to live in.
That's kind of like the Manhattan Project itself, where the scientists at Los Alamos were only the tip of an iceberg, the rest of it being an enormous engineering and logistics exercise to produce the plutonium and enriched uranium needed.

Interesting list, but I don't quite get the idea. Is it implying JavaScript shouldn't be used to work on JavaScript, just for the sake of it? To me it almost sounds as arbitrary as "JS tooling not including the letter T in the project's name". What's the motivation of this list?

I, the perfect dad, absolutely 100% expected that my children would have to stay confined in our house 24/7 with no school, no outside activity (and I'm fortunate enough to have a small lawn), practically no outside contact, all while having to do my job and do my best to raise and keep them occupied.

Also, I'm absolutely not worried about their own well-being, or lack of social interactions, or even the constant loss of bearings, or if they themselves worry about how their parents are doing.

APs don't "fight" (or more accurately: they always fight in a fair and standardized way, even in a single AP network). Medium access works the same between stations and APs on a different SSID (on the same frequency) as it does on a single AP/SSID.

It's a bit different on distinct but overlapping frequencies, since detecting a busy medium has to happen on the physical rather than the MAC layer, but if both APs are on the same frequency (and supporting the same maximum speed), the number of APs and SSIDs is mostly irrelevant.

This might change a bit when thinking about MU-MIMO, but I doubt that 2.4 GHz only IoT devices support that.
This is happening around Australia too. People are heading for coastal regions with their 'city' money and its creating some housing issues and generally booming prices.

I'm using i3 with 4k monitors, just set Xft.dpi: 163 in Xresources and that's it. Depending on your applications, you may need to tweak some individually, for example Spotify can be adjusted via cli argument. There's one con, you can't have mixed HiDPI and non-HiDPI displays.

For sway it's much easier, you can have DPI scaling per monitor, but XWayland apps are blurry, so I'm waiting for all my apps to be updated to Wayland. There's experimental sway/wlroots branch with proper XWayland scaling, but I don't have easy way to install it.

Ask HN: Why isn't JavaScript long-lasting?
Why is it apparently perceived as a "dayfly development language"?
JS has an ISO standard like C and SQL. Yet, only C, SQL, Lisp and the SDL API are recommended[1] for the long run (>= 20 years).

So why can't I expect a JavaScript program with HTML5, CSS3 and Vue.js to last me for at least 20 years much like C89 and SDL? What's the issue here? I don't get it, since JS, HTML and CSS are standardized (like Lisp, C and SQL).

Relevant discussion keywords: Web Assembly

Reference:

1. I cannot find the URL anymore, but this blog had Jonathan's article linked: https://jonathanwhiting.com/writing/blog/games_in_c/

Anyhow, the gist was: use C and SDL to make your programs future proof.

2. There was also a website article suggesting that you should stay away from JavaScript if you want to have long-lasting websites. Instead, it suggested that you should stick with HTML and CSS.

I cannot also find the link to this anymore, but it was linked on HN.

I’m biased, but would recommend trying yadm.

https://yadm.io

I specifically have a design goal of very little external dependency. It only requires Git and Bash be present, so it is quite portable. Many people even use it on some network equipment. You can simply download the script if it isn’t packaged somewhere.

It can easily handle directories of files, but also submodules. Many people add vim plugin Git repos directly as submodules.

If you are familiar with Git, you’ll find yadm extremely easy to use. When you need them, more features are there to solve specific problems, like bootstrapping operations, encrypting private data, templating, or system dependent alternate files.

On a new system you can quickly bootstrap your existing dotfiles repo using https://bootstrap.yadm.io, without yadm installed yet. This is mostly useful if you’ve included yadm directly in you dotfiles (directly, or as a submodule, or as some installation during bootstrap).
Here's an idea I have for an online bookstore.

I like old books.

Right now my interest is on Watchmaking, Electronics, and Machining.

The books I like are are usually old, and only found while browsing used bookstores in person. Books with no isbn's. Books that are rare. Books I didn't knew existed. Manuals I didn't know about.

My idea is having the owners of used book stores take pictures of the books they have on shelves(Just the spines. They would need to walk down the isles, and take clear pictures of each wall of books. They would send the pictures to me, and I would somehow stitch the pics into an app.

I have taken pictures of my books on my shelfs, and even with an old iphone, I can zoom into read titles on books.

The end result would be a website where the customer could digitally walk down book store isles (navigation like google maps?) , and order books they might fancy. Think of the way we look at digital paintings in museums?

The owner would get 95% of each sale, or more? Or, all of the money, if the entity was set up as a 501c3 to benefit used book stores.

Imagine all those old books out there, and walking down an isle on books in Ohio, or Ireland, and ordering a book you see on the shelf?

On a certain level, I hope an app like this is never built by anyone. The internet has ruined so many things I liked. Finding an obscure book, at a reasonable price, in a musty book store is an experience I enjoy.

(I'm suprised Google hasen't attempted it already. They could probally do it very well in a virtual reality setting? Oh yea, I like the app this guy did.)
ZigBee isn’t proprietary, It’s an open standard on top of 802.14.5. MQTT is for command and response dispatch; communication with the devices still takes place over a network like e.g., ZWave, ZigBee, WiFi.

The problem is that 2.4GHz is noisy as fuck, regardless of who’s making the noise or how. ZWave is only better because they use 900MHz.

It seems like pixel art would be an ideal case for automatic vectorization - literally just a series of adjacent colored squares, one per pixel, and the resulting vector could be scaled at will with no loss of fidelity. It seems so easy to automate that I might do it later just for kicks, and it also seems so obvious that I can't possibly believe I'm the first to have thought of it. Is it just not a common practice, or are there difficulties I'm not seeing, or is there maybe something else here I'm missing?

Most of my relatives have moved from owning their property to renting. The rents go higher and higher, leading people to rent worse and worse houses so they can aford to live. Those who still manage to own their home have a significant advantage in life.

Give me a 100% guarantee that I will get afordable, good quality housing for life and I will have the keys of my house delivered to you tomorrow, first class shipping, free of charge. Can you ever make this guarantee in a capitalist economy? No? Well, I'll pass then, I'll keep my own house. Bye
> If using Mac, Duplicate the program in the Application folder to open multiple windows on programs that normally don't support it.

Save yourself the disk space: `open -na Slack`. See `man open` for even more options.

That’s my tip: when you learn about a new CLI tool, skim its `man` page to learn what it can do. You may find capabilities you hadn’t though of, and new ways to solve old problems.

My second tip is to use Alfred[1] to invoke and build small interfaces for all the time-saving tricks you develop. As a relevant example, it would be trivial to make a Workflow (what Alfred calls its plugins/extensions) in which you press a keyboard shortcut and it runs the above `open` command with the name of the frontmost app.

You're seeing negativity because it's getting harder and harder to deny that this "dream" involves the locals getting screwed when tech monopoly money turns their local economy upside down. Sure the guy who had the foresight to start a brewery wins but everyone else loses.

You know what the end game of this looks like? It looks like Vail CO, Cape Cod MA, coastal Long Island and CT, the Hamptons, wealthy retirement areas of FL, etc. What industry is there? What opportunity is there? Well unless you want to sell your soul to the tourism industry or run some business that entertains richer people in exchange for their money (best leave your moral compass at the door if you want to succeed in those endeavors) or work in the supporting industries thereof there is exactly squat. Everyone who doesn't stand to inherit a business either gets out or gets addicted to something.

It's not unreasonably negative to not want that for ones' community or want to inflict that on some other community.
This kind of behaviour makes me think the bubble is almost ready
I think mostly because of two things:

1) Imho an overly complex ecosystem (with thousands of dependencies via npm or such)

2) The "oh my god, that is 5 weeks old, there is something new, better..." mindset for JS-projects.

For long-term software slow velocity is a feature that has to be balanced carefully against stagnation... and not the "reckless" advancement that JS (and kubernetes for that matter) enjoys...

It does make sense with TypeScript as it's a language. It, however, does not make sense with "tooling" (IMHO - there may be of course obvious stuff I may be missing).

Tooling may also use a transpiled language but again, I, as a developer who's very experienced with JS, don't see a big win there.

Someone mentioned Flow + OCaml as a bad example and how it doesn't work out for them, but that's more than tooling. At that point you are not using tools written in other languages to build JS, you are just using other languages.
Sure, you're correct. But there are many things that can force you to sell a house and take a loss.

I don't know why you're getting downvoted. What the "vernacular" style of the early web lacked for intentionality, it more than made up for in variety and sheer élan. Whether we'd live in a better world today had that vernacular not been erased in practice, I don't know that anyone can say one way or the other, but there's no harm in thinking about how that world might be different from the one we have today.
> focus on process-oriented goals, rather than results oriented goals.

THere's a third facet which I think better describes what you're talking about: being "purpose" oriented.

Results-oriented and process-oriented are usually fine at any given moment in time, but there's a danger that one can end up in a rabbit-hole of meaninglessness upon introspection and looking back at the big picture.

In other words, things like to-do lists, check-lists, and constant metric assessment have a dark flip side. You can only avoid that darkness by a clear-headed evaluation of your intention and your path. That's being "purpose" oriented.
Probably better off with a mesh / repeater setup, a single super powerful router will still be sketchy at the edges as in that case the other device’s radio and signal strength also begin to play a role.

I’m angry because I just had a TP-Link (ax20) router go bad on me, so I’d just advise you to avoid that brand but do your research - maybe I just got bad luck :)
