Cheaper rent is relative.

I invite you to pick any major city, particularly one on the west coast with a population over 500K for their metro area who's name you recognize from any news or professional setting.

Look up the rents in the downtown area. Then look at a traffic map for around rush hour in the morning / evening; the worst part of that period. Take a sample of suburbs an hour, maybe even two hours out to form some rings.

The price of rent goes down a little, but the price in fuel and taxation on a commuter doesn't. MOST of these cities also, if they even have it, will have mass transit optimized to a mega-downtown hub with spokes, for peek commuters only. Even that will still suck about as much as traffic, but costs less.

Pre-pandemic, when I last looked at numbers, Seattle wanted around 3000+ a month for like a single room apartment, maybe a bit less if it was a really crummy place. A rundown suburb an hour or so out cost about half of that for a little more, or for a tiny bit less you could rent a house, including a covered garage.
Saving a great deal of money for the state of California in the short term.
As far as I'm concerned, the super wealthy do everything in their power to pit different factions against each other. Feminists against manosphere, Dems vs Republicans, anti-war against pro-war, rural against urban.

I bet the weathly, with billions at their disposal, are masters at astroturfing. This means that they create public interest groups to push an agenda, but they keep their own participation hidden.

This way, there are so many arguments and hate between the groups, that everyone forgets about the most significant problem in the USA - the top 5% of the country own over 80% of the wealth. So it is divide and conquer. This is a very old strategy indeed.

So it behooves the wealthy in San Francisco to cause maximum confusion, so the city's politicians and residents don't focus on the wealthy.

Ah, so you're fine with him being a racist? Also, you think he's an insightful expert on China? Don't be stupid.
This. The built in tasks only get you so far. If you have anything custom you have to create the task for it yourself, with idempotency in mind, at which point you might as well have the exact same logic in a ./install.py file.

Even with the standard library of predefined task, most devs don't put in the effort to learn them since "ifconfig | grep" and other commands are baked into their muscle memory, they would rather make a quick and dirty bash-step than figure out what is the best practice ansible-equivalent. In the end the result is a sequential shell script written in yaml with no guard rails keeping it idempotent, plus riddled with jinja template-substitutions making it a nightmare to follow.

A truly declarative system would be designed more like makefiles, really enforcing idempotence. With steps in playbooks being executed in sequence it's too easy to fall back to script-thinking and side-effects. Sadly i'm not aware of any.
It has been doing this for decades already. North up the coast. Across the wastes of Phoenix which built outward into the desert, and also to Texas which I hear has similar sprawl.
Tried signing up, but (presumably) your configuration is pointing the signup link in the email at your local Dev environment...

I tried replacing localhost with wax.run, but it didn't do anything.

Lastly, considering you are all about marketing and growth, you'll need a landing page that demonstrates this. As in, your landing page needs to be better than most landing pages. While I'm all about minimalism, I found it quite jarring to just land on a page with a half moon on it, which doesn't really do anything.

Some words about who you are would go a long way. There is a "team" link in the navigation and that also doesn't go anywhere (without a login presumably)

Just some pointers. Pm me when we can sign up, because if you are the people who solve marketing for me, that would easily be the biggest revolution in my entrepreneurial journey. I hate marketing so much.

Possible climate futures–from the optimistic to the strange
No, to some degree it is Apple. No doubt any larger corporation has its share of worse offenders. But some of the toxicity that exists within Apple is specific to its DNA. The secrecy, siloing across departments and teams, obsession towards not just customer satisfaction but ironclad schedules, middle managers allowed to act like warlords, maybe even the legacy of Jobs' abusive behavior baked into the corporate DNA- that's all uniquely Apple.

The absurdity of ".onion" is a subtle turn off, I think. If they'd gone with .tor or something more serious or less... lame, more people and business would engage. Naming is important. .onion is just stupid.
It's more that Apple's lows might be lower than those in other big tech companies, because conditions at Apple are permitted to get as bad as they are.

The concern is that child pornography leads to more children in danger. This is akin to violent video games lead to violence.

We don't ban child pornography because it leads to more viewing of child pornography. We ban it because we recognise that demand for CSAM breeds supply of new CSAM. Also because it is—by definition—the product of child abuse.
There is no misunderstanding.

Most people don't have a use for a line of credit other than to spend it on things that don't make them any money. Everyone I know that did this used it to say, pay off a bunch of credit card debt, or build a new kitchen that will be worthless by the time they sell their house anyways.
In way you have a point: from an airplane it is easy to see that the Bay Area and LA are as flat and uniform as the moon. Real cities have variations in building density that reflect the demand for different areas.

There are plenty of TopN sorts in TPC-DS, but not many (if any) regular sorts, so no.

There are order-dependent window functions in there though, which did show a speed up.
Well, after Google purchased Nest, there were all of those tales about the difficulties of integrating that startup into the parent company. Tony Fadell founded Nest, and he brought Apple's culture into it, and that style definitely did not gel with Google's more laidback environment.

The way LINQ in C# works allows a good amount of type-checking to be done on the expressions fed into the ORM. So you can compose queries in a much more sensible way than string concatenation. The only downside is that LINQ makes it easy to express certain things that SQL makes hard, so you can sometimes write LINQ queries that turn into monstrous SQL.

I authored a library for F# that did static typechecking of SQL in strings at compile time. So it could tell you if you, for example, mistyped a column name or selected a column that didn't exist on a table or passed a SQL function the wrong number or type of parameters, etc. That was nice, but it still sucked for trying to compose queries or dynamically add filtering/sorting to a query.
What sort of background are they looking for? Out of … curiosity?

In addition, there's a very strong Anti-China view in this community. But the red scare was just an appetizer. The main serving is the anti-communism that has infected the subconscious of Americans who only hear and listen to the media that serves this insanely good propaganda.

>airplane called the Cessna Caravan. It's an awesome plane, it can carry a (figurtive) ton of weight, it's fast, it's reliable, it can land on primitive fields, it has a long range, and it is incredibly well established wrt regulations, and processes.

that reminded - for the last 70+ years all over USSR/Russia that role has been carried out by this plane https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonov_An-2 . They have been trying to modernize/replace it, and any good deep modernization or replacement project of it ends up along the lines of Cessna Caravan, though no deep modernization/replacement has succeeded yet because it is very hard to beat that combination of price, simplicity, ruggedness and utility. And i have hard time imagining what can successfully replace it in general. May be a range of smaller autonomous VTOL UAVs for much smaller payloads can take a bit of market from it. For passengers though nothing comes to mind, at least until electric planes get similar range and carrying capacity. I don't see blimps taking any of such a role though.

That's a popular, but unfortunate misconception. Majority of Jewish Israelis are Mizrahim that immigrated from middle eastern countries, running from persecution by Muslims.

Additionally, operating costs of a semi truck that's going to remote areas are incredibly huge - not only safety equipment, driver pay, but fuel costs as well - that you might be surprised how competitive airships are.

This whole project feels completely useless to me. The part of the river they are uncovering is right next to the canal of Burssels and in the middle of an industrial zone. https://www.google.com/maps/@50.9027531,4.4087939,15.97z?hl=...

Other parts of the river they are discussing in the article are all right next to the canal and in either entirely build up or industrial areas.

The "dead" part of the river they are talking about is the one running under Brussels. Ther's always been an water cleaning station downstreem of Brussels so that Flanders didn't really get all the shit from Brussels.

Hi Eric, I'm a homeschooling dad with a 5th and a 6th grader. I made an account and will have my children check it out in the morning and report back.
It doesn't quite say that. Key West says they confirm this, and there is an allusion to the policy being similar to some other cities (not all.) In exchange for checking more strictly, the article claims Key West permanently bans at least some homeless from receiving services again. There is also a counter-assertion in the article that some of these policies in other cities are in name only for various reasons (coercion, contact check done carelessly.)

Outside of the scope of the article, there are unofficial deportations that would not have a delineated process and wouldn't be reported.
> Until then, call pharo what it is. An interesting, in some ways innovative, FORK OF SQUEAK SMALLTALK.

This, precisely. Pharo is a fork of Squeak Smalltalk, and Squeak Smalltalk is a direct descendant of Smalltalk-80.

(And a common thread in Smalltalk implementations and versions from Smalltalk-72 to Squeak is the illustrious Dan Ingalls.)

Still, Smalltalk has nothing on Lisp or BASIC in terms of dialects/variants/versions. ;-)
Stop using the cloud? Or maybe just stop worshiping it like it’s the answer to everything.

I once had a tech lead insist we take everything out of the cloud, and do it on our own bare metal.

People thought he was insane. But he did the math again and again: faster and cheaper.

Turned out really, really well.

Even in personal computing … do we really need the cloud for everything?
"fascism" is a term co-opted by literary professors and psycho-analysts from political science to accuse people of a fashist "psychology" which somehow leads to nazism.

It is pseudo-scientific mumbojumbo. Fascism was the italian response to the mass death of WW1 which confronted european socieites with a choice: either turn all of society into an offense military capbaility; or turn it into a defensive one.

The demoncracies chose the latter, the dictatorships chose the former. And hence didnt merely "conscript" people, they militarised all of society. This is what "totalised" means: that there is nothing outside of the state. This was the only way to respond to WW1 offesively: the whole country had to become a war machine, as world-wars required whole-country organization and militarization.

> The closest approximation is states where winners in the market are winners in politics, and fascism historically approximated that quite well.

Dear me. This is just pseudoscientific literary professors with no understanding of political science repeating slurs.

A free market capitalist system is a state system because its fundamental unit is the collective known as "a business" whose legal integrity is provided by state guarentees.

But the whole point of that system is to entirely divorce the political mechanisms of the state from the economic mechanisms of the market. The state guarentees the integrity of private collectives and private individuals from the state.

You cannot have a free market system in which "winners in the markets" are "winners in politics". You're describing the opposite of a free market system; something much more akin to the commnuism of the USSR. This is exactly the opposite of the intensions of capitalism, in which autonomy is granted to private collectives to enable them to take risks on their on behalf, benefit from their success, and pursure their own economic interests. Where this is subsubmed by the state, the entire purpose of the system is removed.

This would be like saying, "the only true socialism is where the state is a business". Incoherent.
This means that for every $1, you will gain $100 buying or selling power. This basically gives you access to a bigger position in the market, so you can make more profits, or even losses.
Grubhub agents always do that to me too. It's absolutely infuriating.
I don't think people are using PF to write software on top of -- they use OpenBSD specifically to run PF. You should look at upgrading OpenBSD in this use case to upgrading the firewall software.

It's a different case than mere "I compiled this application 6 months ago and I want to run it today", which is the "stable API" part of an OS that you mention.
Really like what you are going for here. I've actually been working on a similar system of a minimalist static site generator off and on for about a year. Looking forward to having a more in depth look at your approach.. and congrats for putting it out there, I've been letting my imposter syndrome keep me from publicly showing my system off. I really dig your templating system, I ended up going with Handlebars but I always planned on removing it at some point. Are you using grey matter for parsing the markdown metadata or did you create your own parser?
A bot that doesn’t use the official registration method, which involves setting up an “application,” registering the bot, and then inviting it to your server. This labels it clearly as a bot. A user bot just looks like a user, and also has no restrictions.

I went to John Lewis for some blinds, thinking that they were more expensive but the service would be good.
Turns out that they outsource it, and that it took three weeks to get someone out to measure my widows, three weeks to get the blinds made, and three weeks after they came back to book in a fitting.

The next time round I went with a small local shop and had the whole thing done in less than a week.

I'm not paying extra for worse service.
My own assessment is that it is lab-related.

But setting that aside, it was never in China’s interest to allow an external investigation, no matter the truth. There was literally no better outcome for them than what could be achieved by stonewalling.
So we have established that housing and homelessness need to be solved at the national level. As such, the influx of people to California to begin with stemmed from within California along with other parts of the country—it has always been a national issue but only visible at the local level.

That is actually one thing I refuse to compromise, and I think the current state of tech gives most developers this luxury, possibly if you are willing to trade off some compensation. Even if that changes, this would be the last thing to go, for me :)

If I'm on call, I'm 100% on call. If something important is late (not endemically but as a one off), I'm fine with working late or on the weekend. Even if someone "unfairly" drags me into their on-call issue I will stay up late and help them.

But once I check out, I check out. I refuse to install work stuff on my phone, and have most notifications off by default... on a rare occasion that someone from work texts me in off hours and off call, I would "miss" the notification unless they describe the problem, and it's actually somewhat urgent. If something is on fire (again, it's very rare and not endemic in the teams I worked in), sure, I'll be there if I'm near a computer. Otherwise I might as well be out in the mountains ;)

They're not claiming IPv6 is bad. They're claiming that they can get good service based on IPv4, or bad service based on IPv6. Of course it's the ISP's fault that the IPv6 service is bad, but, since ISPs usually hold local monopolies, overall it means that they are forced to use the IPv4 network - unless they're willing to move to a different area where there are ISPs offering good IPv6 service as well.
> When you’re a new employee at Apple you’re pretty much thrown into the deep end. There’s no orientation for projects on how to contribute to them or requirements to work within a certain set of guidelines. For the most part I was expected to learn things along the way. On top of that, generally there wasn’t any strict rules on things like code review or pull request requirements. I was given some tasks to complete, but from there it was up to me to learn how to integrate my changes into a massive project I had never seen before. I had to find the right people to talk to and learn a lot by trial and error. I had to do all of this while other teams were expecting my work to be done at a certain time, and even though a valid excuse of mine was “I have no idea what I’m doing,” you can imagine that wasn’t always acceptable to someone dependent on me completing my tasks.

> Furthermore, when issues really started to occur where someone was unable to do any work until you completed a task, it was often threatened that things would need to be escalated to upper management. It was never put this way directly, but to me when people would say this it could be interpreted as “we are going to tell your director about your poor performance.” Because of that, individual contributors (i.e. non-management) would often do everything possible just to get the job done and avoid that escalation. This meant late nights, weekends, skipping lunch, or whatever it takes. Pulling in upper management was bad and should be avoided at all cost. While that wasn’t a written rule, I certainly observed it a lot during my time there.

Seems about right.
