And here is the prime example of perverse incentives when it comes to housing - particularly in the US. Only focusing on acquisition cost.

How about cost of utilities per square foot over 10 years? My money is on the smaller, vastly better constructed smaller home than traditional build to minimum code mass market crappy tract housing that dominates much of American suburbia.

Who lives in one house for the majority of their life any more? It's pretty rare. In my development it was only a few thousand more to double the insulation and convert to more efficient HVAC - less than half the people building a new house did it. Heck it was $750 to insulate the garage - maybe 1/3 did - you can tell because the people who did got insulated garage doors with windows. A neighbor across the street bought a house where the previous owner didn't insulate the garage. The master bedroom is over the garage. I asked him if his master bedroom got cold in the winter - he got wide eyed and said that as a matter of fact it did. I pointed out the insulation difference - he had a buddy come over and help him pull down the drywall in the garage, they insulated all the walls and added more to the ceiling and re-drywalled and the difference was night and day. Building codes tightened up quite a bit in 2010 so I think they force builders to do that insulation for everything now, but that's just one example of how people care more about granite countertops than paying attention to core infrastructure that could impact a building for it's entire life.

A pithier way to put it - much of your square footage discrepancy is from people sacrificing short term cost for long term costs we all pay for.

I also have a similar memory as a teenager swimming in a river. A young boy was on his own, with only his face above the water, with said wide-eyed expression. I asked him if he needed help, he managed to say yes, and I pushed him to the river bank. He ran back to his family.

I heard his mum giving out to his older brothers for not watching him. There is a good chance that young boy would have run out of energy and slipped under the surface with no one noticing. It's a nice thought that I may have saved his life and also saved his family from all the grief and guilt that would have caused. I doubt he remembers it - not that it matters.
But they're not undermining a carbon tax. They're supporting it, based on their understanding that American voters are extremely sensitive to gas prices, far beyond an extent that could be considered reasonable, and that for that and other reasons a carbon tax is politically unviable in the US.

To be clear, I'm an extremely strong supporter of a carbon tax, to the point that I would vote for any politician who supports one regardless of their position on any other issues, and I would support the US creating ultimatums with other countries, including allies, to effectively force them to implement carbon taxes of their own. But I'm also open-eyed to the fact that the median American voter commutes something like 30 miles a day and has never taken an economics class.

Interesting points. I suppose I've been subconsciously taking part all along.

As a child my parents dressed me in corduroys, as a teen I refused to wear blue jeans, always wore casual shirts.

School uniform was a blazer, sixth form was a suit. Even amongst a school full of suits my English teacher accused me of being "debonair" and "dapper", University was dark jeans, t-shirts, hoodies.

The early years of my career as a Software Engineer I wore shirt/tie, but got sick of standing out for being a smartly dressed software engineer and switched to chinos, converse and hoodies.

Since becoming a parent I maintain chinos, boots, t-shirt, jumper, wool coat out of work, and hoodies, chinos, converse, t-shirt for work.

Outside of Converse I've never worn trainers (Reebok, Nike, Adidas etc) in public unless I'm running.

the remaining 1-40%, it'll give you subtly buggy code

I think that's OK. Most code is subtly bugger no matter where it originated from. It's always going to be up to the developer to check and test what they're committing whether it's from Copilot, a co-worker, or they wrote it themselves. I think Copilot is meant as an aid to the code writing process, not a replacement. It's not really that different to any other tool.

Plus, fortunately, most code is never subtly buggy if you look at small enough parts. If it doesn't work correctly it's very obviously wrong. As Copilot is aimed (for now) at small functions any bugs will manifest in clearly broken outputs. It's when Copilot can generate entire classes, or whole applications, that we'll need to reassess if the code it creates is actually worthwhile.
I think their point is bigger than that. Historically one of the major points against using Clojure to write your tooling was the slow startup times which are just painful from the CLI. It looks like the clj-exec idea linked to in the article is the secret sauce that makes moving to writing your tooling in Clojure a workable idea, since now you have a unified calling convention for both calling tooling from the REPL during development but also activating your tooling from the CLI in some CI or build pipeline where the massive Clojure startup times don't matter.

This article comes at a perfect time, we're just starting a new Clojure project and were looking into how to automate tooling since we'd been burned by Clojure startup times before. Looks like clj-exec means we can now unify our work on Clojure.

Effective regulators can deliver such limits. For example, Americans are used to obnoxious TV adverts for medicines they don't need and financial investments that are a bad idea, because their regulator says that is OK. In many countries neither of these would be allowed, the TV channel and the advertiser might be fined so they wouldn't even try.

This needn't be too expensive if done right. The ASA in the UK (which regulates print advertising, billboards, that sort of thing) is not the government, it's funded by the advertising industry itself under the threat that the government might find it easier to just outlaw whole swathes of their industry if they get out of hand. So ASA "rulings" are like a slap on the wrist from your mother in two senses. They seem like a big deal if you didn't realise what you were doing is naughty, but also, if you're intentionally naughty enough because you know there aren't real consequences just a slap on the wrist, the next step may be you're off to jail instead. Some advertisers will deliberately do something that gets negative attention, knowing they'll get free secondary advertising from press coverage of a "ban" and the ASA is no big deal, but even if they stray over the lines it's pretty clear where those lines are.
I don't think YouTube replaces school for most people, but it makes it possible for someone who wants to learn something to do that much more more easily than before. School forces kids to learn a little bit about a wide-ish swath of subjects. Youtube enables them to go deeper on whatever it is they're interested in.

Finding and signing up for a class or lessons is a big, expensive hurdle, and then you might discover you hate the subject or the teacher. If you can quickly and easily dip into a dozen subjects and try videos from hundreds of creators, you can rapidly try and reject things until you find one that strikes you and stick with it.

The Internet in general does this, but YouTube is a big part of it, especially things where visuals are useful—woodworking is a good example, but there are so so many things to learn if you can jut find a subject and a teacher that catches your interest.

Why wouldn't they be? You said the clearinghouse could seize the client purchase funds just as well as the collateral. Why couldn't they seize both? At the very least, it's a bizarre threat model that the clearinghouse can seize both, but it will only ever seize collateral (which is what your claim requires to make sense).

That is, it's some kind of capricious being capable of seizing and willing to seize any money trusted to them, with no recourse, but somehow the presence of collateral makes it all better, even though that could be seized too.

Do you hate setting up RBAC or Permission management for your projects?

My question is simple.

We love building new products. But we hate building RBAC.

Mediocrity is subjective. If you were to describe your ideal life to me, I could find someone who would think it sounded unimpressive.

Most people shrink their world until their actions feel like they have meaning. Rich, smart, and powerful people do this too. A person may not be important in the context of the whole world but they can feel like an important person in their relationship, family, job, or hobby. To an outsider, the relationship is boring, the kids are spoiled, the job is pointless, and the hobby is silly and embarrassing. But to the person themselves it's all satisfying, validating, fascinating, and joyful.

You and I are no better. We can't escape this same fate for ourselves. All we can do is find the way _we_ want to be tricked. It's sad and ridiculous but that's part of why it's fun and beautiful.

> Let’s start with Rust, which offers the usize type, defining it as “The pointer-sized unsigned integer type. The size of this primitive is how many bytes it takes to reference any location in memory.” That definition is based on the assumption that a machine’s address and data widths are the same

Is this true? I don't know the history here, but just from reading that definition, it seems like `usize` is tied only to the address width. Where does the data width come in?

It makes a lot of sense. There’s two types of depression (though their names elude me). There’s depression where there’s something wrong with your brain - and despite having a great life, your brain makes sad chemicals instead of happy ones. And then there’s depression where you feel sad because your life is missing purpose and meaning. Ie, being the person you are with the life you have, depression is a healthy response.

Most depression is the second type. So I’m not surprised giving people purpose shows great results. It would have for me, too.
Ask HN: Android developers, are you OK giving your signing keys to Google?
According to [1], Google is transitioning from APK format to AAB (Android App Bundle) which features Play App Signing [2], which, essentially, requires you to give Google your App's existing signing keys, with all the usual implications.

Google uses comforting language to portray this as a very convenient feature for 'most' developers. However, this would also give Google an ability to ship modified apps to users, still signed by perfectly valid App key, and this perspective looks really scary to me.

> To use Play App Signing today you have to provide a copy of your existing app signing key because Google Play needs a copy of it to sign and deliver updates to your existing users. This suits most developers, over 1M apps are using Play App Signing in production.

They also promise to have a way of signing up without uploading a key 'soon', but it is not clear how it will work from the description:

> Soon, we will add an additional option for existing apps to opt in to Play App Signing by performing a key upgrade. Choosing this option means Play App Signing can use a new, unique key for all new installs and their updates. However, for this to work, when you upload an app bundle, you also need to upload a legacy APK signed with your old key so that Google Play can continue to deliver updates to your existing users.

What's your perspective on this?

As a foreign onlooker to American politics, it seems to me is what is required is a new movement to free the US government from the influence of corporate donations.

Politicians will never care about the people while their wallets are being stuffed by PACs.

I don't think it's a good idea to allow one's conception of the US as a major power in the 20th century to impact the knowledge that the US was most certainly NOT a major power for most of the 19th.

> As far as I can see, the fast types are a failure, and the least types are unused, possibly because no-one can understand exactly what the latter mean.

I personally quite like that we have the fast/least types, because they allow you to write portable code, that would otherwise require uintN_t types, which are only defined if the platform supports the specific width of the type.

Let's say you want to implement a cryptographic (often require 32/64 bit modular arithmetic) algorithm that works on any confirming c compiler. uint32_t isn't guaranteed to be defined, but uint_least32_t is.
You can now use uint_least32_t instead of uint32_t and mask out the upper bits that may exist when necessary. You'd do this with e.g. UINT32_C(0xFFFFFFFF), which ~~coincidentally~~ by design also has the type uint_least32_t.
This would result in "perfect" code gen on any platform that has a 32-bit unsigned integer type (given a reasonable optimizing compiler), since in that case uint_least32_t is the same type as uint32_t, and otherwise it will still work.

The fast types could be used for something similar, if they were properly defined. But C has a history of compilers implementing features not as intended, I'm looking at you rand(): "The C89 Committee decided that an implementation should be allowed to provide a rand function which generates the best random sequence possible in that implementation, and therefore mandated no standard algorithm" (c99 rational).

Edit: Note that you also need to make sure that the variables aren't promoted to signed integers, e.g. x << 3 should be 1u*x << 3.
LOL. If someone looked up my thesis and did the same to me, I would have laughed with sincerity. In the "I crossed that killing field so that you don't have to" way.
2FA with only SMS is a contradiction. A single verification is by definition not actually 2FA.

If both are actually being used then an attack has to compromise the password and the SMS, which is going to be harder than just the password.

No, I think history and present times makes it clear that this is an inherent property of democracy.

In democracy without any limitations (like the US constitution), a little over 50% of constituents can do whatever they want to any minority comprising less than 50% of the population.

There are plenty of modifications that have been tried, but none of them solve this fundamental problem...

...because when push comes to shove the modifications are ignored. E.g. the US constitution is routinely ignored without consequence for those in power.

I don't think any political system humans have invented exists in reality. Our political systems are a veneer over the reality of consensual interaction sprinkled with generous amounts of violence, manipulation, and control tactics that have always been used to maintain power. I would argue that since these control tactics are inherent to human behavior, a focus on prioritizing anyone's ability to defend themselves is the best solution.
There is a real risk to giving a company your phone-number for SMS 2FA. That is that the company might, at some point, use the SMS as a single factor. This has happened a few times, sometimes it requires social engineering. In general, the risk is there.

Combine this with the time Facebook started using the mobile phone number for more than just 2FA (suggesting friends IIRC), and there is a decent argument for preferring plain password over enabling SMS 2FA.
