I have a Japanese friend in a third group. He learned English to a fairly high level almost entirely by reading English on the internet and watching English shows/movies. He's very fluent at speaking as well, but according to his account, his speaking fluency took a lot of practice (obviously), but didn't come until after he could already almost fully understand and enjoy those things.
yeah - the huge chunk of space between 'home' and the address field is just wasted..It's plenty big enough to shrink it a bit and add some 'outside' padding to the ends of the bar.

The real horrendous injustice is that when you purchase real estate your payment includes a large unearned increment to the previous owner over what they paid for it. A system where you pay the previous owner only for the value of improvements and make regular ground lease payments to the local municipality (instead of general property taxes) would be more ideal.
The old, original HTTP error codes are useful because they are standardized in their meaning (even if you have to beat the difference between 404 and 410 into an SEO Consultant's head with a bat).

New error codes are only useful if they are generally understood. Maybe instead of using more codes for sub-use-cases, use the permissible error text to express these (HTTP-Status: 503 0x63F0 Data corrupt ?)
While you’re at it why don’t we mandate everyone wear latex gloves all the time? No biggie.

And just always have hand sanitizer on your person. Just a small bottle so not much of a problem.

Can we just mandate people select a group of 100 people they will interact with? Almost nobody has more friends + family to see than that so it’s hardly an issue when you think about it.

You have this backwards: mandates must be continually justified beyond a reasonable doubt, not the reverse. Remember: mandates are dictating how others live their lives. Just because something isn’t that big a deal to you or aligns with your values doesn’t mean imposing that on someone else with the threat of government enforcement is reasonable in the slightest. Wear your mask, they are tools used to good effect, but requiring others to wear them is a step that should be continually challenged with all available true evidence and aggregate personal values - as should any mandate or law.
I'm a believer in not hiding things and logging the whole problem all the way to the end consumer:

Sincere question, are most utilities even treated as public utilities in Ohio? When I was a kid in Montana, the very popular statewide public power utility was deregulated by conservatives and it ceased to operate in the public interest at all. It was quickly replaced by even less scrupulous businesses after it bankrupt itself pursing telecom.
So trusting a private company that doesn't answer to the public at all is better than trusting elected officials that favor the incumbents?
$10 will get you a palm sized drone with a flight time measured in minutes. Stop dreaming. The type of drone that people are scared of costs at least $1000.

Hamas sends thousands of rockets in that budget range and nobody is scared that rocket swarms are going to kill thousands of Israelis. IDF retaliation killed more innocent people in a single bombing than all Hamas rockets combined.

I found this guy's perspective to be useful: https://mobile.twitter.com/DaveHcontrarian

I've been waiting for this 'exodus to the countryside' for a while, maybe this is the catalyst.

> I mean saying that my headline was incendiary is fair. That's just not synonymous with trolling imo?

I'm the one who originally used 'trolling' above. The definition of 'trolling' is an interesting question: It's a new meaning for that word (relative to most meanings for most words), it's a loaded word, and an important one. Maybe I should have used a more precise word.

Whether it's 'trolling' or 'incendiary' or 'inflammatory' or 'link bait' or etc. - even if unintentionally - the result is the same. That's out of bounds for HN titles. If you want a sense of HN's approach, see these comments by moderator dang:

Same happened in France. Public money goes to French companies which then subcontract to China, manufacture there, to import the final product in France.
>Google is unstoppable.

Google having to pay $10-$12B a year to Apple just for being default search engine. All while Apple is working on stopping cookies and now VPN that takes away all the information Google could use for Ads. And Siri Search being Apple's default recommendation results means most of the valuable ads search term revenue are now out of reach for Google. That is ~1.4B Apple Active Devices. ( Apple TV or other Appliance being counted or not is a rounding error ) and Growing.

If App Store spendings are any indication Apple user tends to spend twice as much than Google Play.

Basically Apple is squeezing Google left and right. ( Incidentally they are also what they are doing it to suppliers and developers )

how about physical limitations when oil well's permanently can't restart after stopping because of covid lockdowns and a lot of other reasons (mainly very rich people who became much richer and start looking at commodities at one point to spend their less valuable currency) driving up commodity prices and devaluing currencies pegged to the US dollar. This causes consumers coming under pressure to be able to buy food or shelter since wages are the last thing to rise since inflation is tax on the poor and elderly (see the commodities boom driven by high oil prices and bio fuel crazes preceding the 2008 financial crash and arab spring but at a global scale). Not to mention a lot of baby boomers are retiring burdening all civilized nations (with pensions systems) increasing labor shortages and driving up all prices. TLDR restarting economies hitting limitations and shortages that can't be fixed by printing imaginary money

yeah. I'm blind as a bat, so I only get 1 window per monitor anyway - so the extra space wouldn't be an issue.

P.S.
Am I the only one losing the fight with smaller pixels? As monitors get higher res, I keep having to increase the font size to be able to read them. Even on 4K, twenty-mumble inch monitors, I can only get one 'visible' window at a time.
I use the same configuration for "jk" on both MacVim and AppCode + IdeaVim, and it has always worked for me:

inoremap jk <esc>

I just did an experiment, if I type "j" and pause, I can see "j" appearing and then almost immediately disappears, slight pause and then appear again. Is that the problem you are facing? But if I type fast (e.g "joking"), it doesn't seem to cause a visible delay.

Both of my Steves predated the pandemic, but yes, whether Zoom, face to face, or a phone call, that is excellent advice which I followed each time.

Unfortunately they were both very strong-willed, and I didn't get anywhere with either of them.

I ran into the first Steve at a natural food store in Palo Alto. We got to talking about this little computer company he was starting with a friend and how they needed a 6502 disassembler.

We didn't have a business deal or anything, but I was curious about the 6502 and it sounded like a fun side project, so I got to work on it.

He called me a couple of days later to tell me I wasn't capable of doing it. I tried to explain that I'd written code on a variety of computer architectures and the 6502 was a fairly simple one, but he said "I'm sorry, my mind is made up. You couldn't possibly do this."

I said to myself, "who is this Steve guy telling me I can't program?!" I went ahead and wrote enough of the disassembler to be a good proof of concept.

Our phone call hadn't gone well, so I decided to visit their office with a printout and show him the code. It was listed at 770 Welch Road, near the Stanford Barn.

When I got there, nothing looked like a computer company, there was just a row of telephone switchboards. I told one of the telephone operators I was looking for Apple Computer, and she said "um, this is their answering service." So I walked out and told myself, "These guys are flakes. They're never going to make it."

The second Steve was a little less interesting. I found out about his objection to Python floats near the end of a team meeting, and he had another objection too. Some of our code would need to be written in C++ regardless, and there was no way to call C++ code from Python. I told him about CLIF and SWIG, which were both widely used at our company, and I explained the float vs. double thing. But like the other Steve, he said "my mind is made up, we have to rewrite everything in C++."
Better than privately owned, they are owned by a foundation and are known to not only think long term, but also short term for their workers.

In France, some years ago, they closed a plant producing automotive parts, but they kept all the employees, retrained them and started producing solar panel components. It was pretty incredible as at the same time, French companies were just laying off brutally.

Well I’m a user and I don’t want to have to make that choice. For example I’m not a big fan of Facebook, but I do use it occasionally to keep in contact with some friends.

Suppose Facebook decided to move to a different third party store on iOS, maybe their own store, so they don’t have to list their data access and sharing policies, don’t have to go through app store review, etc.

Doing that forces me to choose between rigorous app review and disclosure, and using the Facebook app. I don’t want to be put in that position. One of the reasons I use an iPhone is because of that.

I don't know if I'd call it "amazing", but yes it is pretty difficult for me. :)

I'm generally pretty good at languages, but all languages I speak and have experience in are either Germanic or Romance. Learning Czech is cool because it is a little related (it is an Indo-European language and you can definitely see that if you pay attention), but different enough that it is really pretty difficult. I'm having a lot of fun with it. Hopefully I'll be able to spend a longer period of time there so I can be more immersed in it.

I think that each of those statements sound plausible but dont really have much to do with each other. In fact there is a lot of good news even within some of the bad news.

Stock prices reflect the fact that some elements of our economy are very resiliant, including demand, despite major disruptions. Would a crashing stock market have been better news?

Housing market is definitely a mess though but that has less to do with speculation and more to do with significant constraints in supply, especially in our largest and fastest growing cities. More people want to live in most of these cities (because cities are still generally well functioning and important labor markets) than they can house. We can and should build significantly more housing and make a major boom in more construction in our major cities and that would make the speculation in other parts of the market make more sense. Without building then we are walking down a difficult path.
You are right about bubble, and you are right about it expanding.

But it will not correct it self.

Here is why.

Business is based on knowledge. We all know knowledge expands. Since the knowledge expands, so does the commerce bubble.

The commerce bubble will collapse when the knowledge collapse. We are all intellect seeking addicts, while one part of the group builds and expands the intellect, the other group makes money out of it.

It will never collapse. Its part of a circle and the circle will keep getting bigger.
> the key word is struggle, not just speech or the curtailment of wrong speech

Sure, but speech plays an enormous role, the largest role IMHO.

> taking action against the racist systems and people in power that really impact their rights

What is normalized among the public greatly determines, IMHO, the systems and powerful people. From another perspective: If we just changed the rules and the public didn't change, imagine what would happen. Also, note that people with political causes invest enormous resources in manipulating public opinion.

OP here. Three things:

1. Most countries that have tried wealth taxes have either abandoned them or have had to constantly readjust them due to logistical difficulties and capital flight. They're elegant in theory, but very difficult practically.

2. The problem with ProPublica's coverage is that it was a tax policy argument masquerading as a news story. If they wanted to advocate for whatever policy position, that's fine! But to paint specific individuals as underpaying in taxes is deeply disingenuous. It poisons the civic well and gives casual readers the sense that something nefarious is happening.

3. Violating right-to-privacy laws to illustrate a policy proposal is bad! Really bad!

>Nothing we have now (publicly) is going to do a damn against a shipping container full of 2-5 lb drones each carrying 1 lb of C4 in a swarm with cheap off the shelf sensors going 100 mph nap of the earth in a distributed pattern. And that is currently entirely doable with off the shelf drones using existing software and published techniques for peanuts. Add in some decent programming and logistics talent, and that is a huge problem.

Existing technology can take down conventional drones through Electronic Warfare and EW scales to an infinite number of drones assuming each drone is vulnerable.
The point I'm trying to make is that we have judges and juries for prosecuting criminals and deciding sentences for guilty criminals. You don't think it's a little bit wrong that law enforcement is side stepping that and deciding for themselves that the criminal is guilty and that they should get the death penalty? Iirc, the fifth amendment grants individuals the right to refuse to testify against themselves, but this behavior is effectively removing that right for the accused.
You're conflating two separate arguments that you made.

1) That a build step is a bad idea.

2) That this tool, Astro, is a bad idea.

I wasn't arguing against #2 and don't care to. I don't personally use new or niche build tools myself. Some people might have different tradeoffs, but I generally agree that 100% of niche build tools (and 90% of popular ones) end up being unmaintainable technical debt.

> There's about zero useful or difficult work I ever need to automate in front-end web development, even for large webapps.

That's fine. People are free to waste enormous amounts of dev time doing things that build tools can do for them.

> You think this is some hipster cry, and yet everything I'm mentioned above is rooted in precise engineering and costs concerns

I believe you believe this, but it's not black-and-white.

The majority of the dev world (including the people making 7 and 8 figures at Facebook, Google, and Microsoft) has realized that JavaScript, HTML, and CSS are not good languages for writing web apps.

Building from other languages or DSLs (TypeScript, JSX, Svelte, Vue, etc.) allows people to have better developer ergonomics and still get code that can run in a browser. It's not really any different from using a compiler to get assembly.

If you don't build anything, you end up doing tedious optimizations in your code. Tree-shaking was an example I brought up, but there are many more possibilities: minifying, combining assets, etc. Worse, you might just be writing vanilla JS without the benefits of TypeScript or a completely separate language.

Using a poorly-maintained build tool (or an unpopular one) is definitely a problem, but throwing them all out because some of them require devs to spend some time learning them is ridiculous.
If this is actually enforced it will be a huge boon for everyone. Especially if they require proof of some sort that the account info is gone.
>It's unfair that they can gain extraordinary amounts of wealth, to such a degree that it's impractical for them to even use, and yet not be taxed on any of it, unrealized or no.

If someone earns a lot of money and just sits on it, they're essentially just reducing the money supply and redistributing purchasing power to other owners of dollar-denominated assets. What is fundamentally "unfair" about this? Why obsess over income inequality if there's admittedly not much consumption inequality? Why is it more "fair" for the government to marshal this purchasing power via taxation than for other holders of cash? Is the implicit assumption here that there's a monotonic relationship between government revenue and fairness?

The article reflects the worst sort of moralized economic illiteracy.
