I think the housing situation in major Canadian cities is so bad, it is going to have clear detrimental outcomes to society. Starter homes in nice (not posh, subway access, good walk score) neighborhoods in Toronto are going for 2-2.5 million. The math on these are bad even if you made a profit on the condo you bought previously (which many people may not have made). The govt has made a series of very half hearted moves to try to quell the swell, but do they really care? Construction and the general housing sector is a major part of our economy now. This is not going to end well :(

I agree with posters who say that foreign buyers are the scapegoat. We need to start taxing real-estate gains on primary residences above a threshold (I thought the US did that). Also, the govt needs to take serious measures to break the assumption that housing always goes up double digits. Everyone I know thinks housing will go up .. this sounds like a recipe for collapse. People with little means are going all in on the most expensive real-estate they can find. Illegal suites (rooms for rent, basements) are rampant. The sort of side hustle I hear about are insane (someone boasted growing shrimp in their garage to supplement income).
Unrelated tangent: I'm always frustrated when I see a recommendation for a book only to go and look it up and find that it's actually an "ebook" (in this case PDF).

Not to make a value judgement on ebooks, but I just really like physical books sometimes - if it was on Amazon I likely would have bought it.

Again, not a value judgement on the content - I'm sure it's great (I'm a paid and happy user of TailwindUI)
These are fair critiques, and we expect document databases to evolve towards schema support in the the future. GraphQL is part of this trend.
It's always funny how people come up with increasingly convoluted solutions to a simple problem because they don't want the simple solution. I honestly don't see how this is going to solve the problem. You're just making it harder to express the problem but it is still there.

As other comment noticed, probably they need from time to time some handshake to restart the communication between two stars, and it's more difficult to hide.

Anyway, I expect a big variation of traffic. Interstellar communication is (probably) expensive, so I don't expect them to just have a steady communication rate.

Sites here on Earth have a strong weekly variation. Weekends have a different amount of traffic than the rest of the week. It's very regular, so it may be confused with a natural thing, like the little green men in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsar . For short trips, they may use the same week in both stars, that will be weird and noticeable. For long settlements, they will probably use a different local definition.

(I've never seen a monthly variation, except in my bank account.)

Websites have a strong annual variation. Nobody studies math on Christmas! I expect both stars to have their own local version of New-Year/Christmas/Thanksgiving or whatever holiday is popular in your country, that may be confused with a natural phenomena. But I expect that someone with family in both sides will send more messages in the special days in the other star. Even if the lag is 4 years, your parents will never forgive you if you don't send a message on their birthdays and favorite holiday.

Tesla Turned the Streets into a Lab. Guess What Happened Next
Filing taxes can be an incredibly easy process. In Sweden, the majority of people have such basic tax filing that they only need to approve data collected by the Swedish IRS. The entire process takes a few minutes, is done online or through SMS and involves exactly 0 accountants.
I had a similar experience. On a project I'm working we had to support IE11. Slate docs mentioned that it doesn't fully support IE11 out of the box, but that support can be achieved using polyfills. This turned out to be false and that part of documentation was very old and inaccurate unfortunately.

After few weeks of development we ran into IE11 issues we couldn't fix and Slate devs expressed that they are not at all interested in supporting IE11 in any way, which is a fair point of course since IE11 is on its way out and supporting it is a big chore. There were some PRs that were supposed to address some of the issues, but development is kinda all over the place on Slate so we weren't confident enough to go with it and decided to switch to ProseMirror.

It hasn't been easy and ProseMirror can be complicated, but we managed to work it out and created what we needed.

> People let their (understandable) hatred of Intel-the-company colour their technical judgement. Itanium was one of the more interesting architectures of its time, it fairly flew on expert-tuned assembly;

I know only few people who maintained software for Itanium, but from their reports it was a nightmare to debug code on. To have a chance to see what was going on, you would have to use special debug builds that disabled all explicit parallelism. Debugging optimized code was almost impossible, and user-provided crash dumps were similarly useless. Your only hope would be that the issue was reproducible in debug builds or on other architectures.

Needless to say, they hated it and were happy when ia64 was finally phased out.

> once the computing world finally moves on from C.

Yeah, it moves on from C... to JavaScript. Making compilers slow and complex doesn't mix well with JIT compilation.

One thing I have to give Itanium credit for is that due to EPIC it was totally safe from the speculative execution vulnerabilities like Spectre/Meltdown/etc. That was certainly a forward-looking aspect of it.
Well, not so sure about "quite recent one". Take e.g. parallax of the stars. It took a few hundred years to finally detect it.
My favorite part was using a swiss army knife for assembly, hoping for an Allen key there which never got used anyway.
> the guys who built TailwindUI don't really get or understand a lot of real-world design patterns

It's all relative. It's clear they understand more than I do, and I'm not a terrible UI designer, so paying for TailwindUI has been a no-brainer in terms of the value delivered to my projects so far.
This isn’t about knowing what changes will be made just that change is inevitable. Technical debt arises because it’s faster to write brittle code.

The problem with brittle code is it makes any change more difficult. The most obvious example is variable names without semantic meaning. The compiler doesn’t care if you’re using “asdf” but such choices collects its pound of flesh every time anyone messes with that section.
Ask HN: Going back to school when I already have solid CS career going on?
So, my situation is quite rare I think. I was doing a CS degree between ages 18 and 21, passed all the required courses, had a pretty decent grades, but then I dropped out right before the finish line because I picked the wrong bachelor thesis and couldn't force myself to finish it at the time.

Right now I am 23 and working in my 3rd job as software developer (previous two were part time jobs during university, right now I am doing full time). I never had trouble getting a SWE job (always got multiple offers I could pick from) and keeping it, as I am passionate about programming and always had side projects etc. going on.

Given this circumstances, I am confident that I can have pretty solid software engineer career on my own, without getting the degree. However, recently there is a voice in my brain saying I should consider getting back to school, mostly for 3 reasons:

There might be a time in the future when I will hit glass ceiling and (CS) degree will be a hard requirement in order to advance my career further. Then it is better to do it now, while I am still relatively young without mortgage and children.

I enjoy reading books and articles about programming and self-improve in my spare time and I am interested in some theoretical CS concepts I didn't pay much attention to, while I was studying for the first time.

University is great for getting new friends and general networking. I did a poor job in this area during my first run as I was the typical socially awkward, self-conscious kid. I believe I grew a lot as a person during the last 2-3 years and would have much easier time socialising with others this time.

Is there anyone who did something similiar? How did it go? I know it will require dedication and discipline, but I am optimistic as my current job is very flexible and I can do it properly with just 3-4 hours of work (from home) every day. Also, the uni I would go to is decent, but it isn't MIT or anything, so it shouldn't be super stressful.

PS: I am located in Europe, so altough I would have to pay some fees for the second attempt at getting a degree, it is nowhere near what USA universities require and I won't have to take any loans for it or anything. It's like 60% of my one month salary per semester.
This stuff all falls under the umbrella of “design”. One thing that helped me a ton was the articles at https://learnui.design - especially the 2-part “Rules for Designing Gorgeous UI”. The course itself is also excellent.
That's not the whole reason, though (at least for the original intent). Turning off CRT monitors means both a cycle added (which is not good for the electromagnets and capacitors) and diminished brightness due to cycling (this is due to the "warming up" needed to ensure that the screen is as bright as it can be, which takes up to around 30 minutes).
In terms of comedy derived from the eating of animals, I'm partial to the restaurant scene in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy:

"Is there any reason why I shouldn't have a green salad?"

"I know many vegetables that are very clear on that point sir, which is why it was decided to cut through the whole tangled problem by breeding an animal that actually wanted to be eaten—and was capable of saying so, clearly and distinctly. And here I am."

"Glass of water?"

Except when it doesn't. I use Safari iOS (because there's basically no choice since only their engine is allowed) and I regularly come across webms that don't load or that decode atrociously. It would not be that bad if only they would allow other browsers to ship their own engine.
I'm replying to a likely rhetorical comment, but to not go swimming in Australia is, I can't even think of an analogy extreme enough; going to Germany and not trying their beer, choosing not visit the Grand Canyon in the US.

But I'm going to totally ruin my positive intentions with another story: Pondalowie Bay, Pondalowie Surf Break, down on the big toe of the foot of Yorke Peninsula[0]. That boardwalk shown in the picture on the link takes you to one of the best beaches I've been to (but I'm not much of a beach tourist despite how this thread is going), but that boardwalk is patrolled by swarms of bees and horse flies (I don't know if they're technically horse flies, but they were fucking big and they fucking bit and one bite actually drew blood - a little pinprick, but blood nonetheless - from a fucking fly).

But the beach... it was worth the blood debt.

Point Turton[1], took the kids out a kilometre from the shoreline and the gradient is so slight that the water was still only just up to my neck that far out and it's so clear, no seaweed, just white sand.

Make sure you know how to swim though. Even without the critters, beach currents are invisible and treacherous.

At least dip your toes in.

FAQ About E-Billing: How to Implement Digital Billing Systems Right

That's nonsense, or, more likely, wilful misrepresentation.

You're referring to this story: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/30/health/covid-cdc-delta-ma...

Quote: "Infections in vaccinated Americans also may be as transmissible as those in unvaccinated people."

That doesn't mean that vaccinated people are spreading the disease as much as the unvaccinated. Only the infected vaccinated people do.

But, as happens with vaccinations, infections are, while possible, far less common among vaccinated people. Even the worst numbers put vaccine efficiency at 65%+ for infection. (85%+ for hospitalisation, 95%+ for death).

I agree that there is room for improvement - though I think it's not a bad V1 at all.

A lot of the products I see turning up on Show HN would look infinitely better if they used this library. (The ones where UI design is clearly not the solo-developer's strength).
Recently bought Tailwind UI. Haven't really used it much except for a concept UI, and didn't work completely out of the box (you kind of have to know something about Tailwind the open source project first).

Aside from that, it looks like a really convenient way to put together a web UI when you don't really want to focus on the UI part of your app too much.

Not too expensive either, I think it was $175 or so.
Sounds great, I will definitely try it!

"Programming is hard" means not everyone can do it, and those who do do it got there by dedicated learning and practice.

For a start, if you think everyone is capable of programming then you need to get outside of your bubble. Second, if you think even the most gifted programmers don't have to learn and practise, you are wrong.

"Playing guitar is hard" means the same thing. Not everyone can do it: some people just don't have a good ear or big enough hands. But even the most gifted, say Jimi Hendrix, practised for literally hours every single day.

Do other fields have articles like this one? Is there a music journal asking whether playing music is really hard and lamenting that there aren't more people playing in orchestras? I might be wrong, but I doubt there is. Why is this unique to programming?
It may be worth noting that SQL and Excel are not necessarily mutually exclusive choices as the backend database

I think this is correct, and I'd love to get to the place you describe in the longer term, where spreadsheet IO and a separate backend DB can cohabitate peacefully.

I have a vision for what that looks like, but I'm going to have to develop the chops to get there. I'm still very much in the "rough prototype" phase, in no small part due to the limitations of my own skillset.

The purpose of the extension was to reduce the risk of a no deal Brexit, which Johnson didn't want but was at risk of stumbling into in his efforts to please ultras. Parliament succeeded in its goal, which did not require any of the things you claim.

With the benefit of hindsight, it all worked out well for Johnson: he cowed the party, could renegotiate without much fear of the ultras, and could choose the circumstance of the next election to his best advantage.

The methods he chose to achieve this, though, greatly weakened parliamentary sovereignty.
Well, that's not chicken feed, even for Amazon. Still a bit light on detail?

The original complaint is linked from https://www.laquadrature.net/en/personnal-data/ - it's in French https://gafam.laquadrature.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/20...

The lack of publicity or even publicly available copy of the ruling is odd. I guess the choice of Amazon to reside in one of the secretive tax haven jurisdictions of Europe has the side effect that it also has a really secretive information commissioner.

>If you think this is the point of the military then we just have two very different opinions about what it says about a governments ability to manage the mess they made themselves.

The ADF's stated mission is "to defend Australia and its national interests in order to advance Australia's security and prosperity.", and further goes on to state one of it's purposes is to "defend Australia and its national interests through the conduct of operations and provision of support for the Australian community and civilian authorities in accordance with Government direction."

Supporting state government and local police during a time of declared emergency is clearly within that scope.

Further, the ADF personnel deployed to assist with the lockdown will not be armed and will not have law enforcement powers - each ADF member will be paired with a regular police officer, and the police will be performing checks as they have for the last however many months [2]. This is simply to alleviate staffing and logistical issues, and is entirely ordinary. No one's getting a rifle squad kicking down their door because they didn't wear a mask.

>The use of coercion is a sign you've failed regardless of the outcome.

There is no coercion, and the whole point of the lockdowns are to prevent failure (that is, uncontrolled community transmission of COVID).

It's not good for home owners at all. As property prices go up my property taxes also go up, but my salary does not. It's not like I can sell up and make a pile of cash, I'd have nowhere to live or have to buy again in the same market. And worse, if you buy into this hot market and then inflation crushes it with rising interest rates then I risk being underwater and looking at refinancing with numbers that I can barely afford.

The market is fantastic for investors though. A property portfolio delivering 30% growth in a couple of years whilst also grabbing sky high rents or AirBnB sure looks tempting. It's a good time to start a disruptive turnkey property management business.
