In my city in the states, easy homelessness cases are easy to treat so they get treated, and plucked from the pool of visible homeless rather quickly as they obtain and maintain transitional housing. That leaves behind a lot of chronic cases that aren’t easy to just throw some resources at, the ones where drugs and mental illness are involved.

Also, the more successful anyone city treats its problem, the worse it becomes if the larger context it exists in doesn’t treat it as well. For example, I read a story about an ex-con who is released from a prison in Texas, is given a bus ticket to go anywhere, and picks Seattle (not having ever been there) because they hear that is the place to be right now (they might have picked LA before). So the problem is influenced by regional and National governments as well, one city or even metro can’t work alone its way out of the problem.

I imagine it’s similar in the UK, just maybe on a smaller case (our problem over here has exploded in the last decade).

While the standard is lower in civil law than criminal law, this isn't how it works at all.

The rightsholder does not want to fight you in court because the amount of money you can pay (most likely) is less than what they have to pay in legal fees to hire these guys to come after you.

The era of mass lawsuits ended like 10+ years ago. It was a hallmark of the 2000's. These days, rightsholders do the settlement fishing where they get enough data to subpoena your identity from your ISP, then send you settlement offers. They don't want you to show up in court, they want to spook you and get you to give them $1000 or something to make it go away.
But halving is made easier because people say things like “3/8 of an inch”, no? If that’s all, nothing prevents you from using expressions like “3/8 of a cm”. If, on the other hand, 2 (or say 4) inches equaled 1 foot, 2 feet 1 yard, etc...
it applies to men too. when I was in college it was not uncommon for men to take lower level women's studies courses with a certain agenda.
Why women in particular? It seems to me that statement can apply to men, too, including "finding that offensive."

Plus, whether someone finds something offensive doesn't tell us whether the thing is true or false.
The city would only pay for redevelopment if it owned the land underneath and that land was unsellable. And if that's the case, the city has bigger problems than the mall (something like Detroit, where, for many years, there was simply nobody there to buy/use/redevelop).

Provide the right financial incentives and a developer should be able to do it on terms favorable to the city (vs getting little/no revenue from a derelict mall complex).
This is slightly wrong, depending on if your regexp engine requires non-greedy matches to find the shortest possible match or not. (I rarely use non-greedy matches because of this, among other reasons.)

/"(?:\\.|.)*?"/

May either stop at the first ", even if escaped (the \ will match the . case), or it will continue to the last " even if escaped (for the same reason). If anything, you've introduced a vulnerability by breaking the escape handling.

Well, a very simple answer is that homebrew embeds nonconsensual spyware into the brew tool itself, and nix does not. For me, "doesn't exfiltrate my private data to Google in the default config" is an important security benefit of nix over homebrew.

The longer answer is about the inherent benefits of the nix way of doing things; it is a horse of a different color compared to all other package managers I've seen
or heard about. It is a different installation paradigm, and the nix documentation (and many blog
posts) do a better job of describing its main differences than I can here.

Deterministic builds as a first class feature is probably the shortest summary. Being able to reference an entire and exact hash tree of deps is hugely valuable.
Yeah, because all the rich people fled London and Switzerland, spending the first quarter of the year in Dubai, Maldives or Tulum.

For SLS a group looked into making boosters powered by modernized F-1's... Turns out a lot of knowledge about welding them had been lost. They managed to get an old unflown F-1A to work, but it's a bit unclear how much they managed to do with the new design, the F-1B. Wikipedia[0] has a few details and some links, but it falls short of telling the end fate of this effort.

Obviously, the F-1B booster wasn't picked for the SLS and they went with the improved 5-segment SRBs[1].

Humans are also great at personifying non-person things. The grass isn't 'screaming out in horror', rather it's emitting a chemical that its evolved to emit in response to certain stimuli.
Until you reach the level of authorities that provide those signatures.

I have about the same sentiment in regard to personal notekeeping, and do in general care about preserving metadata. Many times I have consulted the date when I created a note or, say, an entry in the password manager—or when I last changed it. That may inform my decision on what to do with the note next, or at least allows me to contemplate how much is not done in the passing years and how much is yet to not do.

‘Remember The Milk’ and Evernote make it pretty nice and easy by keeping the dates and some other info. (Though of course there's a gotcha that RTM's Android app forgets to implement the display of this metadata.) Not that I recommend these apps currently, especially Evernote.

Well, after migrating to Org-mode I have a persistent itch caused by the fact that Org doesn't have modification times for outline items, and implementing them in Emacs is a pain. That's one downside of not separating the view from the model. But the creation time is easy to add, in case someone wonders.

Similarly, I love having the archive of deleted notes and completed todos: once in a while I need to figure out what the hell I did to some particular items, or I change my mind on some edits. And on bulk moving or copying, I like to keep record of what I moved from where. (cough unlike HN ahem.)
> In my experience you don't see many homeless in poorer countries because housing is cheap relatively speaking.

India has well over a million homeless people, including (by some accounts) over 100,000 in the capital Delhi. I personally remember seeing quite a few people who appeared homeless in Delhi, including families squatting in historical sites (the Old Fort).

Canadians still use the imperial system personally but the country is metricized. We’re just stuck with paper and wood in inches because we’re next to the US.
This was my thought when reading the parent's comment, though I was curious if they had a particular idea in mind at the city level. It seems like everyone shits on the city, and sometimes rightfully so, but cities ideally function as high-bandwidth/low-latency diverse economic regions where space is consequently at a premium. It seems like there's not a lot of margin within that system if a bunch of people fall outside of that (or are literally shipped in) the nature of the city would have to evolve to solve an intractable problem on its own. Maybe they even make some headway for a while, now the streets are empty and some other cities decide they can start shipping their homeless again.
(b) the difference in prevalence over short time periods within the same country, to see that it is government policy that large determines the extent of homelessness.

In NYC that difference in policy was not anything to do with social welfare payments. It was a reduction in arrests for quality of life crimes. Fewer people in jail, more on the streets. At least in the medium term—-in the decades’ long view the larger change was closing the big mental institutions in favor of “community treatment”.

It’s worth noting that NYC is legally obligated to provide a bed for everyone. The people on the street don’t want to use the shelter system for a mixture of reasons.
You might as well say you’re 2 .12 meters. They’re all made up. It’s just that some are helpful, and you are not.
Sure. Poor people don't do this all the time, though. Moving requires things like deposits and first months' rent. If you change utility companies? More deposits.

I've had to turn down jobs because I couldn't afford the startup costs. One was just red shirts, and I couldn't afford one.

A time or two, the reason I was able to move was because I could stay with family.

Transportation isn't enough. People should be able to live near work: Being poor shouldn't mean spending 4 hours a day on commutes. Being poor shouldn't mean moving away from people you know just to have shelter, a basic need. And so on.
Dior doesn't make their money from the overcoats. You'll have a hard time finding competitive handbags or sneakers outside of similar luxury brands.
You probably should be storing a vector or stack of timestamps. Empty vector/stack is still falsey, and now you have a surface level history of when things changed.
There is a certain demographic in which a fair number of people find (certain) cities attractive. But, honestly, take convenience to employment out of the equation and the attraction of cities shrinks a lot. And if enough higher earning people move out, the city won't be as attractive to others. Take a look at NYC, among others, in the 70s and 80s.

Just curious, where are you that you're moving from a small-ish flat to a home with enough garden space for a stand-alone ADU/man-cave/office?

I assume you're moving out of the city and into the suburbs or similar?

I wonder if the last year of WFH will actually make suburban sprawl worse in the short- to medium-term? Lots of people moving out of city flats into suburban homes for just the reasons you mention. I can't blame them, but it's probably not sustainable either. [and easy for me to say, as I already own a suburban home]
There are a lot more similarly arbitrary things than just paper and wood which are measured in imperials in Canada.

I'd rather call it smart engineering that makes it easy for anyone to contribute. `brew bump-formula-pr` etc. are huge drivers behind Homebrew having among the largest number of contributors on GitHub.

Edit: spelling
A lot of homeless people have jobs. Jobs are in the city. Are you suggesting all the homeless need to do is rent a parking space downtown for their Bentley and they can commute from a nice tent in a farmer's field outside of town?

For goodness sakes, a shack on a lake north of Toronto goes for millions of dollars these days [0].

A few years ago a conservative government in Alberta tried to solve their homeless problem by giving free one-way tickets to Vancouver to the homeless instead of welfare cheques. Dumping your problem on someone else converts a cost into an economic externality but is sure to get you hated.

In my hometown in Australia, there was a shopping area (small chain grocery store) and a newsagent. Across the road was a foodhall, real estate agent and adult book store. Once the book shop went, the area struggled to keep customers and it became fast food and people travel to the next suburb for groceries. Maybe all shopping centres really need is access to porn?
> Most people have little choice in where they live. It doesn't matter if the city you live in is expensive: When you are poor, you can't move. Some people might like to move: Others would not.

That is only true if someone has roots: a job and/or family. If you are single and don’t have many possessions, let alone a job or anyone to look after or be looked after, you are incredibly mobile. Prisons on egress will even ay for your bus ticket to go wherever, if you are without any roots to return to (because they never existed or were long burned away), that literally can be anywhere.

Finally, if you need help to survive and live in a place like Great Falls MT, you aren’t going to get anything there unless you family or some other roots to rely on. You’ll probably wind up in Spokane and then Seattle. If you weren’t mobile, you probably did get help or weren’t helpless in the first place.

I guess there is some confusion between poor and homeless. I totally agree that poor people should be given help to keep living in their own communities, but not necessarily to move into a higher priced community. People without any housing at all are a different story all together. There is no reason why they should be housed in higher priced cities if they don’t have jobs to commute to in the first place.
Slightly off-topic; I can't read this article without scrambling my brain. Whatever review is hidden inside here is behind a wall of obscure references that only the niche target audience can understand, and as I try to navigate around all of these, I'm able to find a couple sentences which actually convey what's going on in the documentary and what the author thinks about it. Please don't write like this, you're only entertaining yourself [, the author].
Brilliant comment - you also managed to describe what I already believed to be true, but in a much more succinct way.
You are the "number 1 fan", so perhaps you can explain us.
So if they went all out of their way to create a deepfake, what was their mission?

I was so thrilled when I discovered Laurie Spiegel and wondered why she wasn't more famous. I feel like "The Expanding Universe" should be in the collection of everyone with even a casual interest in electronic music. Her website is also a trove of fascinating notes about early electronic music tech.

Looking forward to finding about some of the other artists mentioned here.
Theoretically, this should compress quite well. In practice, I don't know how much compression db engines apply.
Precisely. Due to the pandemic we now know two things in the UK. First that there are 9 times as many homeless as stats claim and second that all people can be housed. This is due to the fact that this was accomplished during the first lockdown. There just has to be political will.
In a parallel comment[1]. I wouldn't know it is a deepfake.

I get you. But the climate has shifted. "Unwelcome advances" can be different things to women. How do you know for woman A the "unwelcome advances" means this thing but for woman B it means other things.

Lemme ask you. Asking a phone number from a woman is acceptable or not in a gym? It depends on whom you ask. Some women think that gym is strictly for working out. Other women are more open to this kind of approach.

Not every man has high EQ, can read the room and women's body language. Not every man is social savvy.

When building this dating app, I'm thinking of a group of men which are not so good approaching women. Getting courage to approach women is already exhausting. But it's not enough. You have to know which women are open to dating.

I’ve had my Aeron chair since 2006, and I still like it. I bought it used off of eBay for around $250, and it has lasted 15 years (I did replace a couple of parts, like the $5 pad under the front lip of the chair). It’s comfortable, reliable, and to the extent something fails the parts are readily available.

I also happen to own a “tub chair” which was much more expensive than the Aeron (since I bought it new). I can’t imagine using that as an office chair. You need something that you can scoot under the table while you are on it to get close to the keyboard.

To be more specific, it is cheaper to maintain warehouses for the products your company produces and more expensive for products your suppliers are producing.

It's on the way out, but in Ireland people are colloquially weighed in stones, sheep in kgs and feed in lbs. For a while, speed and distance weren't compatible.

Metric money was a similar issue in the 60s. People still thought in shillings for decades. I read that historically (especially in Britain) entirely different counting systems were used simultaneously. Shepherds had their sheep counting numbers, sailors had a different one.

Dialects ran deep, not long ago.

Incidentally, it's lucky that metric never became known as "The French System."

Those cars and vans quickly become non functional, however, at least where I live. The tires deflate and they become a hard temporary shelter that occupies on street parking rather than space for a tent in a park.
Romania has its plethora of (mainly Roma) shantytowns across the country, like Pata Rât which you link. But reasons why no one resorts to tents on a sidewalk are e.g. 1) weather in Romania is more or less the same across the country, unlike California which draws homeless from across the country for its clement weather, and 2) the Romanian authorities are more hands-off with enforcing building codes in Roma settlements, so you can erect actual buildings.

Also, perhaps emigration to Western Europe has served as a safety valve for homelessness. Some down-and-out Romanians can move to Italy or Spain and immediately improve their prospects. Down-and-out Americans, on the other hand, have nowhere to go so easily.
