> Stick it to those evil developers and landlords, amirite?

Seattle so far has not imposed rent control, but they've done everything else they can to create benefits for renters at the expense of landlords.

And so the smaller landlords exit the business, and the larger ones raise rent to cover these new "free" goodies.

One of the freebies is the city will provide a free lawyer to any tenant with a dispute with the landlord, but the landlord gets to pay for his own lawyer.
I want to switch to Linux, and made an external USB SSD with about 20 different distros on their own partitions. The installation for some was much easier than others!

But this week, I was reminded why I still use Mac OS 10.13. On my Mac, I tried to install ffmpeg with rubberband support. When trying to compile it, brew gave cryptic error messages and eventually failed. For something else, I tried installing qemu, also using brew. There were a load of errors telling me I'm using an outdated OS and should feel bad about it, and again, it failed after 156 minutes with some libiconv error that I don't even totally understand, never mind know how to resolve. Something to do with having imagemagick already installed. I tried downloading an image from docker, and the docker-machine wasn't running, and even when I started it, the pull command from dockerhub still failed.

On a Mac, these kinds of errors are unusual. On Linux, build errors like that are normal.

I want to be able to install software in less than half an hour. Whether it's brew, apt-get, yum, pip, npm, or whatever other package manager you wish for - recompiling all my software is extremely slow, and by the time it's finished I've already moved on to something else.

For as long as software continues to be distributed as binaries for Mac, in a dmg or pkg, I'll continue using my Mac. I do still have to recompile sometimes, but it's something I dread, because of the huge amount of time it takes. Requiring this for every software package on Linux is what's pushing me away from the platform.
It's no fun before supply catches up with demand, but when it does, we'll be in a world that has higher chip production capacity and maybe some advances will come from all that extra money chip makers will be making. It seems more promising long term than, some under-produced stagnant technology like nuclear power plants.
I have HERE Maps on Xperia 10 ii, straight from Jolla Store. Maybe it's because I bought their paid package?
Wouldn't this be very doable in the US, with a lot less hassle?

Have you looked at rent prices in some of the smaller cities in Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Utah?
Setup an eth miner and then post about how DAPPS are ripe for disruption. Let someone else do the dirty work :)
Right. From Wikipedia: "under Chinese law an autonomous region has more legislative rights, such as the right to 'formulate self-government regulations and other separate regulations.'"
>ADAMS. But the French Academy, which consists of forty members, took forty years to compile their Dictionary.

>JOHNSON. Sir, thus it is. This is the proportion. Let me see; forty times forty is sixteen hundred. As three to sixteen hundred, so is the proportion of an Englishman to a Frenchman.
When your first reaction in all this was to figure out a way to try to block a third-party package from being installed, and then you make comments like... "we feel it appropriate to signal our position more
forcefully." And then you lock comments on GitLab from people commenting..

You could have, before even writing the blog post, posted an issue on their GitHub to try seeing if they can post a more noticeable disclaimer... although it doesn't really even need one and is pretty inherent, just like all the other Docker Hub images using Alpine in their name to indicate the underlying distro.
Grandview, MO.

There are homes for sale for as low as $80k, so you can not only live cheap but build equity.

It’s a splurge on your budget but Google Fiber is available.

Grandview is the poor side of town and many people live very cheap. The amenities of the KC area are nearby, many of them free. The parks are great.
Dear Zoom, Why Is Waiting for Host a System Modal?
Solid layman reasoning, just wanted to clear up one slight misconception:

> mRNA vaccines used the spike protein because we believe that to be the most conserved proteins

The spike protein was chosen mostly because it was well known to serve a primary role in the process of infection and subsequent immune response. Ongoing vaccine research is exploring the use of additional proteins, because they have been demonstrated to be a major factor in viral replication and protective immunity. For example, nucleocapsid (N) protein antibodies are induced by natural infection, but not by vaccination using the current solely spike protein focused mRNA vaccine formulations. N protein antibodies likely have a synergistic effect with S protein antibodies, and thus vaccine formulations incorporating both elements may result in more robust protection, especially against variants.

See my other comment on this thread for supporting excerpts and citations from the literature.

>Unless you register all tenancies with the state (which seems like massive overreach) how can the police quickly determine the lawful possessor?

You already effectively have to do that, landlords are supposed to pay taxes on the rent, and people are required to register where they live.
It is a pretty good strategy if it is just one of many of your assets, one where you can continue rolling into a higher value asset and never paying capital gains tax (1031 exchange).
This more recent Thai study shows that natural immunity is far superior for all known variants...

Fellow European here, I have to somewhat disagree. While it is true that discrimination is not as heavily based on skin colour as it is in places like the US I believe it plays a bigger role than you make it out to be.

Discrimination based on nationality is a thing, but it is very much something that varies a lot in Europe. To generalise it as one of the top reasons for discrimination isn't quite right in my opinion.

That said, it's the type of discrimination that is the most prevalent, simply because that's what most people deal with.

However, I think that in day to day life skin colour may be more noticeable than other types of discrimination, simply because it is easier to make out.

While in some places discrimination of certain nationalities or religions is certainly common place and as such might seem like it is the predominant form of discrimination, discrimination based on skin colour is also present. Maybe to a lesser degree, but it is present everywhere.

The simple truth is that the "better" experience will be the one Caucasians get.
I think that landlord control might be more effective. Make it extremely undesirable for a person to own multiple single family residences. Hoarding housing shouldn't be a viable business.

How did your not-tech savvy grandparent deal with grandkids who use don't use apple products?

If an entire family feels compelled to use apple products because the family users apple products things start feeling more like a religion then a technical choice for a product.

The fact that the software choices of other people are forcing your hardware choices here is horrible.
Looks similar to a standard, default-toppings New Haven style pizza, to me, which also features a coarse-crushed-tomato sauce and not much else. In either case I think you point at one and tell the average person on the street—especially among an English-speaking audience, as I suppose this article is aimed at—"look, this pizza has no sauce" and they'll look at you funny and think you're playing some kind of joke on them, because it sure looks like it only has sauce. Listing the ingredients the way the article does just makes that seem to be even more true, since it's practically a recipe for pizza sauce.
I tried the same in OpenSUSE, I was horrified.
> If your opinions are anywhere right of woke, you get banned straight up.

This is what I was disputing. That's the goalpost.

The conversation is exhausting because everyone wants to dance around this claim rather than simply addressing it directly. From my end it feels like pulling teeth.

I don't see evidence of the statement.

I don't see evidence that the the statement is applied inconsistently.

I don't see evidence of moderates being targeted with bans.

I don't even see evidence that bans are politically motivated in the first place.

I've seen this complaint a lot, but it never gets substantiated. It's just thrown out there like we should all automatically agree with it.

Well I don't automatically agree. Please forgive my single-mindedness on this topic, but I'd like to see something substantiating the claim being made.

Once we can agree whether this is happening, then maybe I'd be willing to move to a different conversation (like voting).
I would love to see a list of dependable commentators that meet your requirements. Any recommendations?
Governments have been trying to repeal the law of supply & demand for 4000 years. It has never worked yet. It's not just capitalist countries were rent control fails, it fails in communist countries where people are assigned housing, and it fails on military bases where housing is assigned.
>One way to mandate that could be progressive property tax based on how many properties you already own with a max cap on number of allowed residential properties one can own.

This would do nothing. Investment ownership of housing is tiny. It is the homeowners who push for policy to reduce construction of housing and boost prices.

Getting rid of zoning + Land value taxes are the answer.
I'd be amazed if many people are using reddit via browser on mobile, when there are so many good open source reddit apps out there.
So if you are already a child prodigy, born into a family of prodigies, specifically within Mathematics, and you want that PHD, gotta keep grinding.
Rent control is easy to criticize if you use straw men. Not ever implementation of rent control is or needs to be so extreme as to cause these types of problems. There exists a level of rent control that can prevent families form being rapidly evicted from their communities via rent increases and does not dramatically distort the housing market. Just because many implementations are terrible doesn't negate the concept.
I’m in a similar situation. Once the core apps stop working as expected — iMessage, FaceTime, easy transfer of music to iPhone — I will be going back to Linux. I honestly can’t wait, but for now it’s not worth the time sink to get it installed on this 2010 MBP. Plus that would be an immediate loss of functionality for most of those applications without considerable research into FOSS alternatives.
Love it.

The question, especially for the folks around here.

When Github eventually takes a stronger stand against this sort of thing, because it is 100% going to happen, are folks going to properly fight it?
I'm curious if driving in particular could predict other things, like ADHD / bipolar. Having had a few friends on the spectrum, it definitely felt like their driving patterns were quite different than other people on the road.
Why do they need 100,000 of the same part in a 10M$ machine?
I think this has the same problem as all non-legal security. I can see entrepreneurial big guys deciding this a good business, and just paying some people a nominal amount to squat, while offering their services to the property owners to "remove them". Eventually, they don't even need the squatters in the loop, just "Nice place you got here. It'd be a shame if someone squatted in it."
I don't know about _very_ safe but it certainly isn't how it used to be. Let's be real, you're in Latin America. It is safer than most Americans would think? Yes, but saying very safe is a bit of a stretch.

Yes - in order to have a change be that fast it would have to be something that makes those people dramatically better at surviving, like X-men type mutations, or reproducing. I don't think the change of this blood vessel is really turning the tables between survival and death, or making these people that much more successful at reproducing. But with the prevalence of online dating these days, maybe it is a big help by allow people to navigate faster? /s
It gets on my nerves sometimes but then I remember the days of creating init scripts a la Miguel van Smoorenborg (with various dialects), upstart, Gentoo etc style OpenRC jobbies and the rest.

You’ll be fine for sure in touristy areas and big city centres.

There are Indian people living and working in Poland, so it can’t be too bad. Right wing media say nothing of racist attacks. Left wing media describe them all the time. There are vocal nationalists, most of whom never go past their grumblings.

I raise it as I’d be somewhat concerned sending a non-white or job-straight friend into rural Poland.

If you look at UK Foreign Office travel advice, the LGBT intolerance warrants a mention, but no other warning: https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/poland/local-laws-a... . I guess attitudes to non-white people could get a similar treatment.
I’ve been to both Pakistan and India and would not recommend Pakistan. You can’t get things you want in Pakistan, it’s dangerous and to be honest besides the food there isn’t anything to do.

Sounds like a way around this is to rig up some kind of high/low pitch directional sound system that prevents them from sleeping and goes through ear protectors. All you have to do is put it in the wall and set it to make its noise after a random duration between 5-100 mins has passed. If you added some accelerometer detection, it could even stop when it detects someone making any considerable noise near it. If they try to rip it out you can have them arrested for vandalism of private property.

What are they going to do? Complain about it?
The people who are against rent control want to solve problems before they begin. The ones who want rent control want to appear to solve problems after decades of mismanagement.

Of course, abolishing rent control doesn't get rid of mismanagement but rent control is generally used to justify mismanagement.
If you're ok with Georgia, you should check out Batumi. It's a bustling coastal city that's seen impressive growth since independence. It's also pretty close to Turkey, so there are land routes to Trabzon (and flights from there to Istanbul).

Batumi is also known as Colchis, the destination for the Argonauts in Greek Mythology, so plenty of history & culture and great food.

The Grand Tour did a special driving through Georgia to Azerbaijan if you want to get a feel for what the region looks like:

Where does this come from? This is a program being distributed to other people.

> And don't tell me development time will be remotely similar either.

It will be in my experience. I haven't felt like C++ slows me down in a long time. Modern C++ and STL vectors + hash maps is the vast majority of what you need. There is no memory management to be found, just moving variables when returning them from an inner scope.

Then you have a single binary that is incredibly fast on any modern computer and even many that aren't so modern any more.
Lots of places have had 2000 years of continuous civilization that don't keep finding maps that serve as a pretext for expansion.

I guess I was thinking that ECM would take less power per mass on tungsten than on things like steel or copper, just because each atom is so much bigger. I'm not very clear on the chemistry, but suppose that we're electrolytically oxidizing each tungsten atom into an orthotungstate ion by withdrawing two electrons from it, with an electrolyte of something like chloric acid or sodium hypochlorite so we don't have to pay more electrons to free up some oxygens. Then at 100% Faraday efficiency we'd cut away 184 daltons of tungsten for every two electrons; contrast with iron where you still need to withdraw two electrons to get a stable water-soluble ferrous ion, but that only buys you 56 daltons of metal removal. Even copper, where the cuprous ion only costs one electron, you only dissolve 64 daltons.

There's also the issue of electrode potentials: sucking a coulomb off your anode at 0.5 volts takes only half a joule, but sucking off the same coulomb at 2 volts takes 2 joules. I don't understand standard electrode potentials well enough to predict what voltage you need for efficient tungsten ECM, but on first glance at the reference table, it doesn't look particularly bleak. The tungsten entries are in the middle of the table, near things like lead, tin, and iron, rather than way down on the upper east side with hoity-toity mercury and iridium, much less out in the ethereal districts where gold and ozone dwell.
It's still not the same though. There was a lead designer, who was accountable to the CTO, who was accountable to the shareholders. There's downward pressure to stop analysis paralysis when it appears.
I don't count Germany into Eastern Europe; there are historical reasons why Berlin is cheaper than some western German cities.

The obvious question is why this wasn’t caught and rectified in code review? This seems to be as much a failure due to lack of oversight as opposed to the failure of the person who created the mess.

They already do. The Americans who speak Spanish in Honduras, Colombia, Argentina, etc. recognize the authority of La Real Academia Española (even though their own brands of Spanish differ a bit from the kind spoken in Spain).

This is, by the way, not a criticism of your use of “Americans”, which I and all English speakers use the same way.
I've been considering doing this too for my dev machine. Thankfully I'm not trapped into the Apple ecosystem as I don't use any of their services (iCloud, Messages, FaceTime, etc).

On my work machine, 99% of the time I just use VSCode, terminal, Git, Docker, and a browser... I reckon all those will actually run better on Linux than macOS.
Thanks for the detailed answers.

I have been using Fedora Workstation for a while now, and I am trying to pick the best single-server OS for all my future projects.

Since Fedora is now a direct upstream for CentOS Stream – and CentOS Stream 9 is basically a LTS version of Fedora 34[1] – I am leaning towards CentOS Stream.

In fact, CentOS Stream might now even make sense as a stable desktop OS, and as a better alternative to Ubuntu LTS.

I found that, back in the day, simply buying Plextors was the simplest solution. For best results when burning, you'd want the optical drive to be the master device on the secondary IDE bus.

Of course IDE only allowed two devices on a bus, with generally only two buses. If you wanted more you had to go with (parallel) SCSI, which allowed up to 8 IDs (one taken up by the controller) with the 8-bit bus, and up to 16 IDs on the 16-bit controller:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCSI_high_byte_termination

Just don't forget to put the properly-ohmed termination at the correct location on the cable.

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_SCSI

There was folklore that said three terminations were needed to get things to work: two electrical, one on each end of the cable; and one termination of a rooster at midnight around five black candles.
None of those frameworks are slim and fast. No framework is going to admit that they are bloated, and many will claim to be slim and fast, despite the fact that they are not.
