And some have turned to e-ink book readers with high DPI and portrait-mode presentation.

With paginated navigation.

On desktop, scrolling using page-oriented controls (spacebar or page-up / page-down) isn't a terrible online reading experience. The fact that paper-oriented presentation remains so abysmally poor at less than ~4k retina display resolution remains a real friction for reading.

On mobile devices, touch + scroll itself becomes quite bad. High-speed emissive displays at least handle the refresh requirements, but make precise navigation all but impossible.

E-ink, portrait mode, and pagination, aren't quite the paper experience, but are reasonably close.

The variant I mentioned in my earlier comment works reasonably well for destkop reading. I find that scrolling through up to about 20--30 pages worth of printed material without a break is tolerable. Beyond that, the scrolling (and imprecision of placement) becomes tedious.

(I've, um ... accidentally ... created book-length HTML documents and actually read them. It's doable, but it's far from the ideal.)

I would like to more about this. Can you point to any interviews or other materials that shed light on Burke's thoughts on academia?
Sure, except that rulings like the one in this article hinder western countries from being able to do the same (that is, manufacture their own solar panels and other energy-intensive "renewable" products).
The quantity should also depend on the land quality, imo.

> someone else will move in who lives outside the city

I don't really see this as a gotcha. Those would-be new arrivals to the city don't materialize out of thin air. Presumably they left some other place behind, and their migration is freeing up housing stock wherever they leave behind. The underlying dynamic is still the same. New housing increases low-end affordability by soaking up mid-end demand for old housing stock.

Maybe you build housing in the Bay Area, and all it does is bring in new people who pay the same market rate. But that migration will free up housing stock in Ohio. The only difference is that instead of helping the house poor in your local area the policy helps the house poor in flyover country. Unless you place a lot more moral weight on helping Californians than Midwesterners, what's the difference?
Because it has to have a 4 like 1984. And 2084 is too far away. But 2024 is right around the corner, so it has urgency. Therefore, 2024. Also - isn't there another US presidential election in that year?

The headline is a little misleading. Snowflake is actually going full remote, Coinbase style and saying that they don't have any HQ. But since SEC forces them to have an HQ, they have Bozeman as one, since CEO lives there. I am guessing because he doesn't want to mix with the plebs ?
Yeah, the arrow key placement does need some getting used to. Personally, it’s never bothered me, but I should note that I mainly use vim and don’t need the cursor keys very often (thanks to vim’s text objects).
I’d say this is too strong a take. The mph number is certainly not completely accurate, but it’s also not made up out of whole cloth. The number I was quoting was for a Model Y, a Model 3 will have better, X will have worse. Given that 3’s and Y’s massively outsell S and X, it’s a reasonably conservative choice.

The mph number is overstated if you use AC/heat, and/or travel >75 mph. But it’s not more than 30% off in my experience. It should do pretty well in the Bay Area where the weather tends to be mild.

Some context. The WELL was founded in 1985 (and is still active). Commercial Internet service providers were not widely available until the late 1990s. For threaded public discussions (forums), Usenet was available to people at universities and research labs with Internet connections. Other people connected to bulletin board services (BBSs) with modems. America Online (AOL), Prodigy, and CompuServe were big commercial services; FidoNet was a noncommercial federation of BBSs; and the WELL was a BBS that was mostly known to digerati and deadheads in the SF Bay Area. Apologies to those who know the history (comments? corrections?).

If anything the marginal cost per unit would be a better metric. The fact that big bureaucracy is expensive at small scale isn't that surprising.

There is also a major fallacy here, that this money could be simply used to put people into homes dollar for dollar. If they are this inefficient getting people into tents, whats to say that the inefficiency isn't magnified with a more complicated project.

There is no magical box that you can go drop cash into that pays rent for someone who was previously homeless. It comes with it's own set of logistics.

Regarding fpv racing and low latency - OpenHD is more of a two-way network connection + HD video so the latency is around 135ms with a lot of optimization and OpenGL overlay graphics, while the shark byte HD FPV system is more optimized for very low latency (5 to 30ms) digital broadcast (I think sharkbyte is open hardware but not software):

I've been on the receiving end of one three times now, but have never "hosted" one myself. As an angel, I'd probably always prefer to invest directly, but if my alternative were "RUV or you can't invest," I wouldn't object to the RUV.

The process itself is slightly easier because I don't have to tediously type in wire instructions into my bank's website :)

The creator of the RUV can decide whether the company pays the fees or whether the investors pay the fees. The ones I've done so far have been "company pays the fee," in part I think to help avoid the perception that you're getting a worse deal via the RUV.
RAII is one of the best things about C++. It makes cleanup much simpler than what you need to do without being able to bind cleanup code to scopes. You avoid the kind of complexity that can lead to "goto fail" style problems.

I can't provide a counterexample to the specific 3br luxury->SRO scenario, but it certainly does happen on occasion that previously expensive units wind up getting subdivided into cheaper units. I knew someone who lived in a low-end furnished room (with shared bathroom) that had previously been part of a larger unit.
It has been my experience that most programming terms end up being business or marketing driven if they gain much traction. My pet peeve at one time is API. This term contains the word "interface", meaning external code will interface with your code. However, business calls everything an API and it means a unit of software work from their perspective. Probably the goofiest one is AI. When people say they are using AI it doesn't tell me anything. What is a VM? Python, Perl and other interpreted languages are said to run in a VM. Isn't a container a VM? A container is just host OS VM. I remember when VMWare only had host OS VMs until they came out with the Hypervisor VM, ESXi. Docker is a brand of container and both are VMs. The point is that it is human nature that any word that becomes popularized will take on business and marketing purposes. You just have to roll with it unless one is expressly carrying out technical communication, then clarity of definition does matter.

I recently built a regex library in safe Rust:

https://crates.io/crates/safe-regex

Regex is a mini-language and my library compiles it to Rust. Writing it was surprisingly difficult. While working on one bug, I had a moment of doubt about my ability to solve it. I've had such experiences only a few times in my life. Luckily, I woke up the next morning with the solution in my mind.

The work was satisfying. I also wrote a safe Rust async library, like a mini-tokio without all the scary bits: https://crates.io/crates/safina . And I started writing a safe Rust TLS 1.3 implementation and a safe Rust HTTP library. Working on a challenging side project can bring you satisfaction, knowledge, and confidence, even if you never finish the project.

Functional programming is a kind of leetcode thing that I don't want to see come to Go. In many cases is destroys readability, and allows people to forget about the complexity of the code they are writing (in a bad way).

With most Go code today, you can just look at the indentation, or count the for loops.

It's hard for me to not think of politicians here and the incentives we are creating.

Think back on Kavanaugh: what real evidence was there? No place. No day. No time. No witness to the crime aside from the accuser, some decades later. Cited witnesses did not corroberate.

I understand the witness's account was believable to many people. (EDIT: if I knew her, I'd believe her and have empathy for her suffering). But if you step back and look objectively, there wasn't a lot there. And the media pile on was incredible. It was a clear signal to other politicians that the media is willing to not just unleash a mob, but to be a mob. That surely has a chilling effect.

Anything metric that becomes gamed ceases to be useful. If we all know the game is to optimize for number of citations, then the jig is up. It will eventually cease to be a useful system and fail its ultimate goal. Institutions can handle some amount of it, but left unchecked, the institution will fail when quality falls enough to prevent any further value creation. Certain journals or periodicals will lose their notoriety, and with it, bring down the credibility of the entire system in which they exist.
Can you reply to individual comments on there in the conference? I've never found out how
I built a TENS unit with an Teensy and decided to skip a current sensor. Real switching power supplies regulate current too, not just voltage (a low Ohm shunt across one of the stages to an opamp that tells the PWM circuit to slow down the n-fet input pulses, in addition to the voltage feedback power gate).

The funny part is: I didn't shock myself, I punched myself.

I had the electrodes connected to my pectoral muscle and I was adjusting the levels while holding up my arm with my hand to the side of my head. A random current change translated to a huge voltage boost, the pectoral twitched hard, and BLAMMO, punched myself in the bridge of the nose.

At least I think that's what happened. Could have been changing skin conductivity, but I like to think my Teensy code hurt me. (I eventually removed the MCU and just used two comparitors with a voltage-controlled duty cycle oscillator... much easier.)
> more places empty in some places

Ok, this is a nice story that one could make up. But once again, my point is that vacancy rate is something that is already tracked.

In San Francisco, the vacancy rate is about 3.5%.

So, in other words, regardless of whatever story you are making up about parents, or rent control or whatever, the actual data shows, that the vacancy rate is very low, and therefore not much of a problem.

I seem to be a bit of an outlier, but I am not looking forward to generics in Go. I don't like the kinds of discussions it attracts...vague hand-wavy arguments about "expressiveness" and "purity". Expressiveness to me means more arguing in code reviews, and nothing is stopping us from writing pure functions now, I do it all the time.

I maintain a few large Go codebases, tens of thousands of LoC each, and not having generics in practice is way, way down on my list of challenges. Equivalent Java codebases that I've maintained are usually harder to maintain because of generics, with over-eager functional programmers itching to show off their skills in abstraction, instead of solving business problems.

I hope I'm wrong, and that this will make Go a better language. But I doubt it.

Of course marketing encompasses more than advertising, but there are countless examples of companies that don't do marketing. Less so with major corporations, but more so with small businesses.

The art of reading non-fiction non-linearly
It's not just bots writing articles, there are already bots posting in online forums. Most people tend to align with the predominant opinion, and these commenter bots make it seem like the public opinion goes a certain way when it doesn't. Bot-written articles might still have obvious tells, but can you tell if a two-sentence comment was written by a bot? No, you probably can't.

And of course, the next level of this is to tailor the articles you see, their content, and the response you get online specifically to you. Eventually, these systems will get progressively better and influencing your specific opinion. Social media giants can also affect things like which events you end up going to, the people you meet, who you end up in a relationship with, which jobs you apply to, etc. Soon it will be possible for corporations and governments to have sophisticated, subtle, relatively fine-grained influence over your life and that of your friends. You'd better hope Google and Facebook view your success and emotional well-being as good for their profits, otherwise, they could try to optimize your life for different outcomes.
Hybrids are the future; convince me I'm wrong.

No matter how refined the manufacture of electric cars gets, a hybrid will always reduce the battery capacity needed to a fraction of what it would be otherwise. I believe the typical difference between a plug-in hybrid and full electric is around an order of magnitude.

It is just as irrational to have a battery with a 300 mile capacity as it is to have a gas engine with 300 hp. In either case, you are allowing for the greatest possible need which happens rarely if at all. A hybrid allows you to build both the engine and the battery for the average case which is on the order of 10% of the worst case. This is a huge inherent benefit.
