The number of people who want to move in to live and work in the Bay Area so vastly exceeds the supply of new housing that it is like a Sotheby’s auction where only the richest can win. This is reinforced by the fact that it takes so long to get permission to build anything that you can only make money by developing super luxury property.

In a well-functioning city you can make money building anything from mid-market up. Affordable housing is the stuff that was mid market 10-20 years ago, or luxury 20-40 years ago.

If you want to see this in the real world, just look at the market for cars.

In the reddit thread for this story there were audio professionals offering to strip music for free using commercial tools they had access to. Something called Izotope RX was mentioned.

Leaving the Bay Area was worth it simply to avoid expending emotional energy on arguing about housing policy to this extent, particularly to unconsciously defend a decision to live there. Continuing to live there seems to condemn one to this attitude and approach to life, and life is way too short to have constant knife fights on HN over which major capitalist entity screws over homeless people harder (with some prejudice mixed in throughout the thread from working at one of them).

Maybe the market just sucks at housing in general. Keep fighting about it instead of admitting the situation is hopeless, I guess, and those of us who know better will snap up the $160k four bedroom mansions until you figure it out.

Everyone has the same question, so it's not a stupid one for sure.

I answered this a bit more in depth here: https://www.gcppodcast.com/post/episode-265-sharkmob-games-w...

but tl;dr: When you tell developers that they can't run VMs and new hardware takes 6-12 months and a lot of bureaucracy to acquire, you make it work on your machine.

And, of course, Gamedevs understand win32 API very well.

And, making high performance networked AsyncIO is a bit nicer on Windows (IOCP vs EPOLL).

Animals tend to run away when you throw something like a rock or a big stick at them. It's possible the primary benefit of utilizing projectiles by early humans, even before they could fashion weapons or throw accurately, was as a defense mechanism that increased their survival rate.
If the version of your software they are hosting is subject to a non-permissive license, you should simply be able to tell them so and theoretically, they're obligated to take it down. The DMCA may or may not be precisely the right tool (license violation and copyright violation are similar but not 100% the same thing), but it should also work OK. (IANAL, but this is my experience.)

If your software is MIT licensed or similar, you can still ask, but you're probably SOL if they don't agree to remove it. With those kinds of licenses, they're under no obligation to remove it just because you ask them.

Simply contacting them at any of the email addresses listed here: https://www.cnet.com/about/contact-us/ or calling them should get you routed to the right person eventually. You could also try generic emails like legal@cnet.com, abuse@cnet.com, dmca@cnet.com, etc. In the worst case, here's a list of CNet employees: https://www.cnet.com/about/meet-us/ - figure out their email format (e.g. firstname.lastname@cnet.com) and shoot them some emails.

However, you should be prepared for them to simply do nothing unless/until there's an attorney involved.

Do you stand to lose income or receive some other kind of material injury if they don't take it down?

> I read the deck not the videos, but their is a section on “nice” versus "kind" slice that is the complete opposite of your straw man

Thanks for drawing attention to the existence of the slide deck, that was much more easier to read than the video.

I think I understand why OP is reacting to the word "kind", it is a bit of a misleading branding, and the content is also not exactly coherent about it. There is an extra emphasis on considering the other persons' reception of the communication, but then there is an inclusion of assertive communication as you've pointed out. A more realistic title would have been "how to work and communicate effectively".

> In fact, psychological safety is what creates an environment where actions and decisions can be discussed and critiqued rationally rather than emotionally.

Again I think the connotations of term is problematic, in comparison to your pretty good of an explanation of what it should be about. After all psychological safety depends on the other side's psychology, so for a narcissist that would mean actually not threatening their myth of personal superiority, and bringing rationality to discussion would not necessarily be comfortable for them.

I think a much better approach can be considered through virtue ethics. There is no being fair to the other people while not being fair to ourselves. So there is a golden mean between giving consideration to their point of view vs. requesting consideration for our own point of view and there is no algorithmic approach that can find that point for us. We can't get lost in emotional contagion with the other persons' feelings (think of a surgeon unable to operate a kid because they are empathizing too much), just like we can't get lost in our own feelings (every callous, bullying manager or lead we've encountered).

Also "engineering" kindness sounds very objectifying and manipulative. Please do not engineer me, I am a human. Tell me the good reasons to be kind, and let me decide for myself. If being kind is "good", people would naturally take it up.
I lived in a two-unit townhome in SF. The lot on one side was a large single family. The lot on the other side was an eight unit apartment. All the lots were the same size. They even all had parking.

The lot sizes are not a physical problem. They may be a political problem (ie. the issue is people don’t want new tall buildings built).

Yea, that’s fair. I only meant to point out that the LabVIEW paradigm is powerful once you really get into it.

I can totally understand the ergonomics issue. I think that automatic layout is the way to go to reduce pixel-perfect manual layout and thus strain from heavy mouse usage.
> Perhaps these are specific names?

They are. "grande école" can be translated to "big school", but in French it means a prestigious school. "carte d'identité" is also a specific document, since you can also prove your identity with your passport or your driver's license. For the "mairie" part, I don't know about the specifics of town halls in the USA so I can't compare. It's probably that they work differently so using the same word would imply the same thing.

> This is why official translations suck and fansubs are superior works.

Don't get me started on half-assed attempts at localization, especially when made by people that can't even understand the original language.
That sounds about right - don’t despise small beginnings, you will likely need to work a few stints as an L1 SOC analyst to start getting a feel for what the problem set and processes are really like, but the smart L1s can usually progress rapidly.

If you find yourself in a SOC a where everyone is stressed out and nobody has any mobility, learn what you can then move on.
I actually don’t think it’s to make the language simpler, but most likely for compatibility. First, Statement/Block are parameterized with whether or not they can contain Return statements in the spec, so it wouldn’t complicate the spec much. Second, it is exceedingly rare that JS compatibility breaks. The one recent break I am aware of is:

var let = []
let[0] = 1 // Syntax error because let [ conflicts with destructuring lexical declaration.

They will always be just a smudge or there will be an alternate explanation. Decade after decade.

Cycling is a mechanical sport, mechanical sports are a competition that test both the machine and the people who design and build it as well as the human operating it.

There are competitions where everyone is given the same machine to put emphasis on the human performance. In cycling for instance, Japanese "Keirin" racers all use the same low tech steel bike that they maintain themselves.

Anyways, money is always going to matter. More money gives you better training, better nutrition and medical support, better equipment and can allow athletes to focus exclusively on their sport by offloading them from the usual chores. In teams sports, also better teammates. There is no way around it, but it doesn't mean the athletes lose merit, even with performance enhancing drugs, it takes a lot of effort and dedication to come out on top.
> They did sit on them, until a timed moment.

I looked it up, and apprently this could be true, assuming that wikileaks were given the emails ahead of time. Some of those emails were first posted to a DCLeaks website, then Wikileaks announced they'd be posting some, then DCLeaks posted more a few weeks later, then Wikileaks posted some, then Wikileaks posted more just before the election.

It makes sense to time these things for impact, assuming you want to punish corruption, and that's the motivation behind these kinds of leaks, right? People seem to focus on the part Assange and the Russians played in this instead of the actual corruption - how Bernie Sanders and millions of his supporters were screwed by Clinton and the DNC.

I don't think it's partisan to expose the truth. To do otherwise serves those in power at the expense of the general public.

> why return statements should be avoided in try-catch-finally blocks

When I was a wee lad, learning basic and C, my father tried to impress upon me that a function should never have more than one `return` statement.

Back in those days, all these languages had `goto` statements, and we were told never to use them, because they were bad. But goto isn't bad because "goto" is a bad word - it makes your life unnecessarily complicated. A goto makes it very hard to reason about code, because you never know how you got to a certain line of code. Line 21 comes after line 20, but it might also come after line 30 if line 30 has a `goto 21`.

But, semantically, there's not a lot of difference between:

int myfunc(int *ptr) {
if (ptr == NULL) {
return 1;
}
return 0;
}

and:

int myfunc(int *ptr) {
int result;
if (ptr == NULL) {
result = 1;
goto END;
}

result = 0;
END:
return result;
}

When someone calls `myfunc`, and it returns, you don't know if it returned from the end of the function, or from the middle of the function. A function with multiple returns is a function full of gotos; or as my dad used to say: "Functions always have a single entry point; they should have a single exit point."
> The 100% MCD [modified decision/condition coverage] tests, that’s called TH3. That’s proprietary. I had the idea that we would sell those tests to avionics manufacturers and make money that way. We’ve sold exactly zero copies of that so that didn’t really work out.

That'd be an awesome contribution to open source, particularly at a time that there's a lot of collective awareness of how hard it is to secure C programs.

(There's probably still a business reason to keep it proprietary: it's a reason for people to go to them for changes, at least if they want the final product to be thoroughly tested. Alas, 'cause it would be cool to see.)

It's funny that he references preppers, survivalists, and dependency on society near the end, when talking about writing all of your own software dependencies. A while back someone thinking about it from the other end (i.e. saying we generally should accept some dependencies) said almost exactly the same thing in thread at https://twitter.com/hdevalence/status/1214234305754329088 . I draw no deep insight from this, but fun to see the same analogy from two very different perspectives. (Kind of closing the circle, the "let's be real about dependencies" article linked, https://wiki.alopex.li/LetsBeRealAboutDependencies , mentions in passing "SQLite is basically everywhere (for good reason)".)
That's not in the US. The Northwest Territories are in Canada. The largest fire in the US on that list is the 2020 California wildfire at ~6,900 square miles.
I considered for a few minutes that you might have meant "people who aren't pregnant with the specific fetus in question should shut up".

But I ruled it out confidently: The situation where a bunch of people are weighing in on a specific abortion is not one that really comes up, whereas people discuss abortion in general nonstop. You had just said that you aren't opposed to the other potential parent and medical professionals having input in a specific abortion. It doesn't make any sense to phrase that idea that way- having a functional uterus has no bearing on whether you're the one who is considering an abortion. And the other reply also interpreted you as saying men shouldn't comment on the issue and went uncorrected. Taken together, I thought there was no way that was what you meant and I was being excessively charitable.

I misunderstood, but I think you could have been clearer.
The attraction of "functional programming" to academics and many others, is that the paradigm is underpinned by established and well studied mathematical logics. For example, the lambda calculus or more recently linear logic. You can view this as "fashion" if you like, but by making programming more formalized and less adhoc, it's probably better recognised as progress.
I have to wonder if this will make it so software engineers are expected to work for the salaries of the lowest cost of living place in their respective country. Leaving cities to only be a place where PMC can live.

I guess they call it "motivation decay". It's a mechanic where you have to feed your pokemon food to keep it motivated. You can feed it remotely, though. They can be fed up to 10 times with normal food, or an unlimited number of times with golden raspberries.

EDIT: I was wrong about getting kicked when the boss came. So if you kept feeding your pokemon, you could keep it there indefinitely. My bad.
I wouldn't count on that necessarily. Mass extinction and threat to all advanced civilization seems abstract, your own ill health seems more personal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Framing_(social_sciences) You often see news stories with a personal frame to drive them home, rather than a situational frame.

Though I don't know, indeed, you might have it right, it might make no difference.
If enough red tape was cleared it would be common in SF too. But the regulatory environment is so oppressive that it’s not worth doing a project unless it’s going to be a huge money-maker, which generally means large-scale.

Changing the zoning is a good first step, but not the only (or even the most significant) obstacle.
Has anyone SEEN a typical SF plot? They’re basically enough for a small 1000-2000 sq ft home, a parking spot, and a little back yard.

No one ain’t building a four plex on that, unless a) the height restriction is also raised b) one parking space per unit no longer required and c) some fancy footwork somehow incentivizing adjoining plots to combine.

If you had two plots and lifted the restrictions, then I could see making 4 units comfortably out of that. But seeing how unlikely it is two neighbors sell at the same time, seems unlikely

I think this would be more meaningful in other cities, where there are a lot of ranch style homes / bigger plots
Not sure where you're referring to but as an example the population density of the top 10 wards of Tokyo are 51k, 50k, 46k, 44k, 41k, 41k, 41k, 41k, 40k, 40k per square mile. San Francisco's is 17k. So arguably, by those comparisons, there's room for 2x to 3x the people in the same space.

SF is more walkable than most USA cities. Tokyo is more walkable than SF.
TLDR:

The difficult task of reproducing the pitch accents in Greek might be a step too far for most people, but consider the following line from Homer’s Iliad 1.345:

ὣς φάτο Πάτροκλος δὲ φίλῳ ἐπεπείθεθ᾽ ἑταίρῳ

It develops beautifully from sauntering labial alliteration (of p and ph sounds) to rapid-fire dental consonance (of th and t sounds), but if we pronounce Φ and Θ as fricatives here:

https://antigonejournal.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Iliad...

rather than aspirated stops:

https://antigonejournal.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Iliad...

then the distinction between Φ and Π and between Θ and Τ becomes so great that the sound effect is lost completely. Homer, for one, would have cared.

>performance for all but the most demanding tasks

Client-side performance is increasingly irrelevant except for, as you say, video editing and a vanishingly small slice of gaming (and that is at least as much about GPUs anyway). But then, clients outside of phones are also increasingly commodities anyway.

However, performance on servers remains incredibly important. Of course, you can just throw more hardware at the problem which increases costs but is otherwise perfectly doable for most applications.
Maybe not. It wasn’t a well thought out aside and is maybe fraught with bias. Haha.

I don’t mind visual programming, but I don’t enjoy PC gaming at all. There have been times I’ve experienced fatigue in my mouse hand with consecutive heavy days of LabVIEW programming. I think there are definitely ways to improve it though.

Its not about O2, is about an excess of CO2.

All of these schemes about CO2 capture don't make sense atmospherically (we're physically digging out too much carbon to put it back into the ground economically) -

But CO2 capture makes sense inside buildings.

Of course, all of this is just an extra burden on the individual - buying air filters, CO2 capture, expensive ventilation, CO2 monitors - when we could just restrict our coal and oil usage in the first place, much more economically.
