in todays society, i look as guns not as a good, but as a necessary evil, needed to protect the weak from the strong, and level the playing field in a physical situation ( not ideal, but can't be wished away either)

For this reason, the gun ownership needs to increase among the traditionally weaker classes ( women, minorities ) who currently are at threat.

Are you sure about this, or are you treating a "noble savage" fantasy as if it were fact?

I've read some early settler accounts of Australian Aboriginals, and they would beat the living shit out of the lower-status members of their society (especially women) on a regular basis.

Sometimes the beatings would be followed up with rape, and the perpetrators would get away with it Scot free because they were high-status.

The article doesn't talk about money though, but factors like "significant enjoyment the day before", which obviously took a huge hit during the various phases of COVID lockdown. And this in turn is tied largely to social interaction and the general reopening the US has been experiencing.
Homlessness solutions are very expensive and, in countries such as the UK, very inefficiently managed. We have a system here where you can ask for help and if you are classed as vulnerable you often will get it.

The best 'help' is offered to people with kids. This will often be a low budget B&B type accomodation which is usually just one room. It will be a step up from living on the street but only just.

Next best comes to people who've just been released from prison, drug addicts and alcoholics. They may be offered a bed in a hostel full of people with similar problems. Not surprisingly, the sensible ones choose to stay on the street. Those who are truly vulnerable will take the bed and may end up worse off in the long term.

At the bottom of the pile are people who just made a few bad decisions or had a temporary bout of depression. These people are not judged as vulnerable and can literally just go and screw themselves, the system wasn't set up to help these kinds of folks.

Of course, there are success stories where people have worked their way through the system and eventually been offered a state-sponsored place of their own but such stories are not the norm.

I have been homeless and I got lucky, a complete stranger offfered me help and I grabbed it with both hands. I got sweet nothing from any agency - of which their are multiple here. They are part of the problem since they employ lots of people who would never get a job elswhere and have huge cash resources to misappropriate.

I don't know if the Nordic example given here would fare better but it certainly could not do worse.
That doesn't seem like a very interesting choice. `print hello` or similar will not showcase much of any given language's syntax, and is actually likely to hit specialized syntax for printing (e.g. Python 2's print wasn't a function). It will show some of the boilerplate, for languages that need it (public static void main...).

"Every programming language" is also quite the claim, I only see 46 languages in there (Wikidata counts 1,449 "programming languages" Q9143).

Y-Säätiö offers non-profit apartments, so the rent is based on cost.

https://m2kodit.fi/en/

I for example found a 35 m^2 apartment in Espoo that's 542 €/month. I rented a similar size apartment in Espoo from a private company for about 800 €/month some years back. The safety deposit is also 0 €. My apartment had a very cheap safety deposit - 200 €, but that is probably too much if you're homeless. Some might charge way more, like two months worth of rent, which would've been 1600 € for me.

They also ignore payment deliquencies, which make it very hard to find an apartment on the free market.

Nothing stops you from doing that, but you're then in a relatively small niche of processing messages that you want persistence for, but where persistence is not important enough to put it in a more resilient external queuing system.

There's absolutely apps that fit in that niche. E.g. somewhat time-consuming processing that fit on a single machine and that can still be re-run from scratch if a queue is lost, can be a use-case for it.

I've built crawlers where some of the queues fit that model, for example - e.g. things we'd re-crawl 2-3 times a day, so worst case if a queue went and some things wouldn't update for a few hours.
That was also the case in France at least till the 50/60s
Mock Georgian is the lamest/ugliest thing going and it's already all over the UK (like every town or suburb). Sure original Georgian architecture is beautiful in many ways. However, mock versions are a blight because people cannot afford to use the correct materials and resort to stylistic similarity with garish bricks and pvc windows. Where is the vision in the above for alternative materials or cheaper reuse of existing ones that are also beautiful etc? There's also a little mock Grecian-Dutch-Turkmeni (see those horrific cylinders on the big building or the car park entrance that looks like a downtown Ashgabat-in-Dorset) which seems utterly bizzare and surreal.

I didn't ask for exact values, and never expected them.

But if you say "summary", then I'd expect at least to get some info in the right ballpark. Otherwise it is not a summary, but just some alternative bit of (possibly relevant) information.

Also, a hash is not a right analogy for a summary because typically hashes don't hold any bits of useful information, at least within reasonable computational limits.

It depends on the kind of problem. An engineering challenge, even a really difficult one, is something that can be attacked with effort. Changing human beings is far far more difficult. Perhaps impossible on timescales less than generations.

We’ve had societies that really wanted to stop people from using mind altering substances, agree with that goal or not it was something that multiple societies choose to try to solve and mostly they failed. The ones that partly succeeded were the ones that used heinously brutal methods.

> Grail is very much built on Illumina’s platform

I’m not sure this is true. GRAIL’s technology is (a) a protocol for efficient bisulfite conversion of cfDNA to infer cytosine methylation, and (b) proprietary algorithms for using that methylation information to infer presence of cancer. Both (a) and (b) are agnostic to the actual sequencing machine (e.g. Illumina): the end product of (a), namely cfDNA fragments with non-methyl C’s bisulfite converted to uracils, could be sequenced on any machine[*] capable of reading short DNA fragments, not just Illumina’s machines. (b) just requires methylation information, which again, is sequencer agnostic.

[*] companies making such machines will likely become abundant once Illumina’s patents expire in a few years
We need both. It's not a binary choice.

We shouldn't enable companies to sell cyber weapons to regimes who use them against innocent people. You can debate where that line is all you want, using it to murder journalists in other countries who are critical of your regime is across that line wherever you may draw it.

We also should encourage better privacy and security to protect everyone's communications and data.
I am 37 so not old but also not young :) For me I find the opposite. I prefer a high quality and high resolution but smaller monitor.

By smaller I mean sub-30" which isn't small by any means but it is smaller than what I see many people use these days. Most people I know have 32" or larger monitors and that is just way too big for me. I currently use a 27" 4K monitor and even that I find a little too big but until I can find a 3:2 or 16:10 ~25" monitor I am not bothered enough to replace it.

Over the years I have realised I am most productive with a tiled window layout. Often side by side or in a 2x2 grid layout. I then make use of virtual desktops.

I find too much "desktop real estate" frustrating and overwhelming. I get "lost" looking for what I want in a mess of windows so much prefer to have what I am working on side by side. Floating windows are only for short lived windows such as print or settings dialogs and not long term items on my desktop.

I prefer to use integer scaling so 4K @ 2x gives me a lovely 1080p "look" which is fine (not perfect on a 27" but very close). Providing I can integer scale I will always buy the best monitor I can and run it scaled to give me this ~1080p UI control size. I just love how crisp text is on a HiDPI screen. Using my wifes 24" 1080p monitor from work is horrible to my eyes now. I guess I have officially been spoilt by high quality screens :)

The city is still giving out lots of housing. Except when the city tries to build housing, it takes many years and $800k per unit.

The city has put up so many regulatory hurdles that make it almost impossible to build anything. Consider this project that would've added 19 housing units https://twitter.com/samdman95/status/1415839145386196993. It was blocked because it would've increased shadow cover on Delores Park by .001% (as if SF has a shadow problem instead of a housing problem).

There really is no point in the city trying to build housing for the homeless without addressing the regulatory issues first. If the city were to try to build housing for all its (by the official count) 8000 homeless people, it would cost >$6 billion.
Many newer programming languages have focused on reducing hidden control flow and ugly text macros in favor of more transparent metaprogramming, which may help to illustrate one of the bigger issues with Lisp. Lisp itself is simple and elegant, but that doesn't mean it's easy to write simple and elegant Lisp code. Imperative programming is maybe less elegant and beautiful than functional programming, but imperative programming is easy to understand by humans. Sure, C code may not literally execute line by line, but this is how C programmers mentally model execution, to the point where sometimes people are befuddled to learn it’s not the case. It's such an effective approach that CPUs also provide an as-if illusion of in-order execution. And sure, Lisp macros are powerful, but it feels like nobody ever stopped to consider if maybe there's an upper limit to how powerful you really want a programming language to be. Well, I have. I want languages more like Go and Zig. People will always hate at least Go, but it didn't hit TIOBE top 10 out of sheer baseless hype and corporate sponsorship. Simple, easy to understand, perhaps even "stupid" code works.

I could be wrong—perhaps the Lisp renaissance is just around the bend. But realistically, I'm not running into any problems where I wish to deal with more clever and elegant code. In fact, I'm running into problems where I wish to deal with dumber and more obvious code. That these ideals often conflict is probably a great source of debate and strife.

Good question.

This happened in a European country (Hungary) There the health care is free at the point of consumption, so there was no question if he will be taken care of. The problem is if you were not paying your health insurance contributions prior to the illness, the tax authority might force you to pay the cost of your care after you are out of the hospital. Or at least that's how my dad explained to me his worry.

Medical debt is not fun, but clearly tertiary to the problem of not breathing, in my opinion.

Or designed to handle homeless cases not related to addiction. That the arguments “Not all homeless are drug addicts and/or mentally ill” and “homeless services not designed to deal with drug addiction and/or mental illness will fail” are often located close to each other annoys me. There is plenty of low hanging fruit to be had in dealing with the easier homeless cases. While we shouldn’t ignore the harder cases, it’s no excuse for waiting to pick that low hanging fruit.

Yes, I don't know if the prices should have a better Benford's Law fit when the price is around and 10k or 100k but then a lesser fit when the price is between 5/50k and 9k/99k if you have not enough data. But if there is enough data, maybe it should better fit the Benford's Law, and this may be a proof that arround 10k/20k the price was rigged and should have stay around it longer but manipulation put it around 30k/50k.

> the city pays around $60k per tent site per year

Is this number missing a zero? That sounds very reasonable for use of land and 24/7 security. And at $5k a month I'm not sure how many apartments you can afford. Or is that meant to be $60k per tenant? How many people can you house in one of these sites?

Driver? No. Heck, I hardly know any philosophers. But most of our big ideas were written down by a philosopher and then, decades later, read by to-be-important people at the beginnings of a social movement.

Social philosophy influences societal change, by providing ideas. Without philosophers, activists have to be more visionary than they already are, making them rarer.

(Moral philosophy, not really, I'll agree with you.)
I don't get motion, sea, or VR sick, but if you put a 16:9 27" 144Hz TN panel in front of me, I'll start yawning and drooling in a matter of minutes. If I ignore that, I'll get too nauseous to work until I lay down for bit or take a long walk outside.

The cause seems to be twofold. At a reasonable viewing distance, the strain caused by having to constantly focus my eyes differently between the corners and the center begins to give me a raging headache. This isn't true for <22" or >34" panels, though, so it's a function of my lens plasticity.

The second factor is related to the panel technology. Scrolling on TN panels makes me feel the same as I do when I watch certain Hulu shows and poorly shot 3D films. Those incorporate subtle DOF that causes eye strain and discomfort on subjects in a scene your brain thinks you should be able to focus on (like trying to read the artistically blurred signage on a door in Avatar 3D). Resisting it makes me almost immediately sick to my stomach. With TN panels, knowing that I should be able to focus on the content as it scrolls yet just barely not being able to read it due to blur and poor panel characteristics (eg- backlight) is highly nauseating.

I've used HFR displays with IPS/(M)VA panels for almost a decade with no issue. At work I use a 13" MBP, and at home I use a 39" 4K 120Hz VA panel. I'm actually stuck right now deciding between 13" models of MB Air and Chromebooks because I know deep down I really just want something with a 4:3 or 5:4 display, which would either mean an iPad Pro or modded ThinkPad.
