Addressing the regulations, but not the financing, means this scarcity doesn't change.

Dodd Frank made speculative financing so difficult, that the industry either scaled up, as was mentioned in the article, to make it worth the trouble of pacifying HUD, or scaled down and run a business that essentially relies on clients to finance the projects. Most builders (and others in the industry) were forced to scale down.

These were the builders that might have considered 4-plex or other small multifamily projects, but they've essentially been barred from the market.

Not everyone is paying attention. I went past a shop in Tønsberg last week that had a sign saying that they do not accept cash. Quite a few buses here in Norway do not accept cash at the moment in order to reduce the driver's risk risk of catching COVID.
I don't mean finally, because it'd be wrong for the reasons you list.

catch however always unsets the result. If you don't manually throw or return from a catch, then the result is an empty result (which is JavaScript is a return of undefined)

finally doesn't do anything automatically, but a throw or a return changes the result.

I guess you're too young to remember when ALL transactions involved trust. Cheques didn't even have any kind of verification whatsoever, you just handed them out and the shops had to just hope they would clear... if they did not, the payee could obviously get into trouble with the law, but criminals still found creative ways to get away with it... watch the movie "Catch me if you can" to see one of the most entertaining abuses of cheques in history.

I often wonder what it is about the software profession that brings this stuff out. Is it that very sensitive people are more likely to be drawn to software? Or is it that software industry culture breeds this kind of thing?

I have friends across many different industries, from government housing to tourism to accounting to logistics to teaching to rubbish collection. None of them would dare talk about "kindness engineering", "psychological safety" or any of these kinds of topics at work. They come in at 8, do their work and go home at 5.

Every workplace has assholes, highly empathetic people, drones and whiners to varying ratios. That's just human beings.

Sometimes it feels to me like some corners of the software industry have been co-opted by self-help gurus (styled as "happiness engineers" or whatever title they conjure up) because frankly it's a lucrative industry and they've spotted a good target.

I don't think a system where copying is always permissible under particular copyleft terms, where creators can neither restrict that copying nor grant further/other license, is appropriately referred to as a system of "copyright" - no one possesses a unique right to control copying.

Note that I'm not speaking to the advisability of such a system, just pointing out that there's not actually a theoretical dependency as I would use the terms.

If we're being loose enough with the term "copyright" that it applies to any possible limitation of copying, then of course copyleft depends on it because we've just defined it to include copyleft - that is not interesting.
They also complain about ghettoization as soon as certain people come to their neighborhood.

Corporations don't have freedom of speech and it is misleading to suggest that they do. In fact, there is an enormous amount of legal precedent for mandated corporate speech. If you don't believe me, look at your nearest "nutrition facts" label.
If I had access to a genetically identical infant, before its aware mind had formed, and I transplanted its brain into my own (suitably expanded) skull, could I grow a larger, coherent, brain? Would the younger neurons give me neuroplasticity? Would this increase my ability to learn? Would people who had undergone this procedure be more prone to schizophrenia -- which I think of as multiple minds trapped together in one brain and body?

If cities are more economically productive than separate villages, because they increase communication among people... well, how much higher-capacity a communication channel than brains literally wired together? You can do better than bike lanes, people.
Yep, I'm aware of the argument, and I think you've stated it correctly. But the data I was able to find does not seem to support it.
>A law can be "not racist", but still be crafted with certain intentions in mind; it's easy to exploit certain correlations to achieve a certain end result.

Correlation does not imply causation.

>But if you want to exclude certain people from your neighborhood, and those people happen to often be from a certain culture/socioeconomic class…

No doubt, no one wants to live around low class riff raff. That's not race specific, and so, is by definition not racist.

>It's also worth noting that the same laws were applied to Asians - exclusionary zoning and housing policies led to the consolidation of populations within certain neighborhoods, like San Francisco's Chinatown

Now you're straw manning hard. No one is making the claim that laws of the past weren't racist. Now, they're not, and so Asians, Indians, Africans (as in recent African immigrants) all flood to the suburbs because suburbs are decidedly not racist, and are free of the riff raff.

>It wasn't always the case that most Asians could (whether financially or politically) move to the suburbs.

Same for whites. Many/most were locked away in perpetual poverty in rural areas.
It's far more common in the US and I certainly see it on a regular basis. But, personally, I'll go months without using it and if I'm driving somewhere I'll have some cash in the car but don't usually carry it on my person.

WhatsApp now has ’view once’ feature for photos and videos
2007, gut feeling based on "iPhone introduced" and roughly when I last bought a camera (which was digital) rather than a phone (which had a digital camera I used for 'all' my photos).

I more strongly suspect the number depends on the space and when "professional workhorses" get replaced. Today the low-end prosumer market has been subsumed by mobile phones, and DSLRs and such more frequently use bits than film.

I do agree that the low-end of the market was starting to phase out in the mid 90s, but they still sold disposables for super cheep. The digital cameras main application was a niche where someone wanted pictures for their computer or websites but didn't have a better chain for loading in analog film.

Early 2000s might be the start of transition, when equipment became good enough that digital had benefits over film. Workhorse equipment replacement may have taken another 5-10 years?

>I have a friend who has a store that was robbed repeatedly. He installed a vestibule like an airlock with two doors. On the wall were pictures of previous thieves, and a very obvious camera system. All customers coming in were remotely vetted. Cause trouble in the store, and your picture goes on the Wall Of Shame.

This is why stores in the ghetto have such systems for dealing with customers. It's not because their owners and employees like dealing with people through a tiny bank teller-like hole. It's from painful experience.

(Same goes for why certain items are locked up, only retrievable by an employee, in drugstore chains' outlets in certain locations but not elsewhere.)
I think you are accurately describing a current political reality, but this is deeply disappointing and not a response that will go behind virtue signalling ("zoning is racist") to actually solving the problem, or even right a wrong: ("there is so much cheap housing the non-white proportion of SF/Berekley/etc. goes up.")

> The reason they are talking about 4-plexes is that's the reality of redeveloping a single family residence one at a time.

I wish they could at least talk about 2 lots at a time!

> If you could do it city block by city block there would be huge savings, and WAY more developer interest.

Amen.

> The problem is it's too hard and expensive to assemble that much land to make such projects actually happen.

If only we could do just one, and then for the next one give people units and free moving in the prior one. That can become a virtuous cycle.

> No one wants to move, no one wants change.

Very true, but for all those perks and a nice cache out people can be persuaded. We would need some eminent domain for the stragglers, however.

They aren't! Spineless compromises as described in https://pedestrianobservations.com/2019/09/18/cars-and-train... (pork for both sides!) is spineless politics that will diffuse outrage now, but at the cost mutually-undermining investment that just makes people disrespect government more later.

> A lot of people don't want their life dictated by their neighbors. HOAs are well known to be horrendous.

The irony is suburbia is full of annoying HOAs. Just like the fact that without more broad economic growth homeowners will have a hard time paying off their mortgage in their lifetimes means that it is a lot closer to paying rent than they would like to think.
Nobody is saying you should go to jail or get fined for getting owned by a 0day. I don't think that it is unreasonable to say that someone is negligent in having a CVE from 2014 unpatched, which then allows your customers to get compromised.
Not entirely, however if sales does a good enough job they can give you a lay of the land so you know how to become unique.
That comes down to nearly-unprovable hairsplitting. If government employees are demanding action, backed by force of law, then Yes. But if YT is merely free to follow or reject advice as it chooses, then No.

I can hear advice all day long from experts, but whether I choose to follow or ignore, the consequence is on me.
Another example of state censorship via private monopolies was AOC calling for the Apple and Google app stores to ban Parler following the Jan 6 capitol riot. If a sitting member of the government pressures private organizations to censor others, it should be considered a violation of the first amendment. Leaving aside the technicalities of law, it is unethical and immoral even otherwise and completely in conflict with American and classically liberal values.

Minimal zoning would be a bit much, but I think Japanese-style highest-allowed use zoning with few single-family home zones would be good.
Not sure I'm call them odd -- it prints the same thing that would be printed without the "returns" (i.e., if the blocks contained only console.log calls), which is what I'd expect it to print: 'one' followed by 'three'. You're maybe thrown off because, while only one return statement can successfully return a value from the function, more than one can be executed, with their values evaluated.
I'm not sure I appreciate the point the author is trying to make because it sounds like what they want is a merge commit
This has been my position for a while as well. We even saw last year the revelation that the CIA had been in Switzerland:

It's definitely a false sense of security to assume that being on one side of a particular border increases your security. There may be degrees of truth to it but there's no "if your data is here, no agency will ever come for it." When protecting the contents of your data is important, the largest workload should be on sender and recipient. The protocols they decide to use, the encryption they choose for their content, etc.
I think this depends on the college. Because mine barely gave a shit about pre-reqs and frequently let me swap requirements / graduate for undergraduate courses.

Agreed, people are starting to call htmx, alpinejs and tailwindscss the "HAT" stack. They all play well together, and make HTML the primary medium for building your web app again, each satisfying something I am calling Locality of Behavior[1].

> Global western "democracy" conspires to put the single most hard-hitting journalist of the past decade

Really? A lot of stuff they leaked wasn't even that damaging, like Hillary's emails, because it just showed that the DNC wasn't really up to anything. But they made sure to release them at the most politically damaging moment possible. While they sit on other documents for years.

Trump's closest advisors had direct contact with WikiLeaks, which doesn't make sense unless they were collaborating
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-campaign...

> The special counsel’s office determined that hacked emails from the Democratic National Committee and Clinton campaign manager John Podesta were transmitted from a Russian-government proxy, Guccifer 2.0, to WikiLeaks on July 14, 2016.

> The report does not resolve the question of coordination between the campaign and WikiLeaks’ timed release of hacked emails from Podesta. The report does note, however, that the hacked emails were released on Oct. 7, the same day as the release of the “Access Hollywood” tape in which Trump was heard making vulgar boasts about women.

> The report adds “the release of the documents was designed and timed to interfere with the 2016 U.S. presidential election and undermine the Clinton Campaign.”

Yeah, definitely not partisan
The people I know who live in the Bay Area don’t particularly want it to expand. Part of the value of living there is its relative exclusivity.
By chopping “Your display’s version of FF0000” out of your quotation, you dropped the whole point of the sentence, which is about the native RGB space of your display.

That some displays have a narrower-spectrum (and therefore more colorful) “R” primary than the sRGB spec is literally the premise of this conversation, and is understood by everyone here. But the sRGB spec’d primary is still extremely intense, beyond the practical needs of any user interface and the vast majority of images/videos.
Fun fact: the word “security” comes from the Latin word for carelessness - “securitas.” se = without, curitas = care.

> This reasoning is exactly why I stopped being a libertarian, the free market has no recourse mechanisms for actors making peoples lives worse.

Nuisance law is a recourse mechanism in the case you point out, and is included in any reasonable notion of "free market". (In the more radical notions of libertarianism, you and the other guy would simply submit the dispute to a mutually-trusted outside arbitrator, with a voluntary agreement to abide by the arbitrator's ruling.)
Guidelines here is an euphemism for orders. The pro-censorship faction in the gov isn't strong enough yet to openly censor media, but it's strong enough to coerce Twitter and the like with the passive-aggressive "guidelines".
And here we are two years later with farms and the planet still in peril :-).

FWIW, and I think I said this when this came up before, farming in the west, and particularly in California, has to change because the drought will destroy farming. It already has put a number of farmers into default in the central valley. So any effort that can make that many acres of land even half to three quarters as productive with the water that is projected to be available will be needed.
I think it’s important to reflect on old practices and consider why they were important, and whether they still are.

Many of the reasons for only having a single return were that it made it much easier to reliably clean up resources allocated by the function. Given a language with garbage collection, or even simply try, catch, and finally, provide a better way to handle this. The mistake Javascropt makes is allowing a return in a finally block.
> The root problem seems to be that most businesses treat IT security as a cost center, rather than a value center.

I think it’s worse than that. It’s not just security that lacks investment, it’s the whole IT infrastructure.

Obviously the observations of one lowly employee can’t be generalised much, but creaky infrastructure seems too common.
If you wanted to know, the CIA decided in 1973 to burn all documents about MKULTRA, fearing Watergate would lead to the Church Committee. One cache of documents had been incorrectly stored, which later came to light giving us all we are certain of about the project.
OP didn't redefine `err`, just assigned a new value to the `err` variable that was available as `catch`'s parameter. Only the catch's error variable is scoped to the catch block. Any variable that's defined inside `catch` block using `var` is hoisted in the scope of the nearest function.

So, the `return e` in your example works since `e` was hoisted when you defined it using `var e = err`. If you tried `return err` instead, it'd result in a `ReferenceError`.
Once the transaction goes through your account at the bank (in case of debit) will be overdrawn and the bank will charge a penalty sum/interest as well as asking you to put funds in to get it back to a positive balance again.

Censoring commentary on scientific data because it doesn't fit with the a political narrative is anti-science.

The rationale that well intentioned speech should be censored because may be used by people to spread misinformation in a way the speaker never intended is a horrible standard to uphold.

When scientists openly and freely admit to self censorship for political reasons, it erodes the credibility of scientists.
