Not picking on your comment, per se, but it is a pet peeve of mine that lower pay in societies with much lower costs of living is often couched as either exploitation or (reverse) unfairness to those in high cost-of-living settings. Consider a metro area in Eastern Europe or Asia. Suppose there are very few jobs available paying the equivalent of US$12 per hour [0]. Now someone starts a software shop or consultancy and offers $13, $15, or $18 (equivalent) per hour. Within that society, such opportunities can easily represent anywhere from a 200% to infinity% (for the unemployed) wage advantage.

tldr; Please consider contextual economic realities before applying reductive backhanded comments.

[0] I'm shooting from the hip, here. Apologies if my example numbers are way off for part or most of the regions I'm mentioning. Even if so, there was a day -- not very long ago -- when they were quite close.
I’d agree that this is usually true. But the comment I was replying to is about jokes in general.
Right, from memory that was going to be A/UX 4.0. But as you say, that never happened.
I'm not arguing against the progression of housing. I'm arguing to be able to build a house I can afford on land I own. Building codes serve to lock property owners out of the means to actually live on their own property. And even if these high rises become more legalized, it's a long time from that happening and institutional investors and large construction and architecture firms executing and them finally being sold, in the meantime I have to live somewhere. It's also worth noting condos are a depreciating asset, unlike land, and you are beholden to the covenants and agreements of the condo including maintenance and other mandatory assessments.

I know some guy in Manhattan is going to tell me "but it cost 0.5M for a 1000 sq ft plot here, and only 0.4M for a condo" Which may be correct, but for the many of us living in lower density cities that still have tons of jobs like Kansas City, Dallas, or Omaha there's still a huge delta between the value of a small plot of land + 10k to build yurt/cabin and the price of a condo. That reflects the economic efficiency of the owner built small structure vs the condo in these areas.

Living out in the sticks has the same economic problem as you either have to be rich, retired, or score a very rare lucrative job to come out ahead. The economic cost is as high or higher than the new high-rise condo, it's just hidden behind opportunity cost.

I really challenge you to find the percent of population living in an area where raw land enough for a small structure is more expensive than a condo. It's a very small percent.

> procrastination ... laziness

I can only speak for my own procrastination, but it is certainly not rooted in anything I would identify as laziness. It’s rooted in my experience of ADHD, and the corresponding anxiety it produces.

How can I be so sure? Because I will often go to great effort to avoid minimal-effort tasks. Or I’ll continue an effort that I sense is likely a sunk cost to abandon in favor of a better solution, because I’m determined to see the first effort through.

Interestingly (to me), these were major influences on me becoming a programmer. I’m self taught, I didn’t learn to start a career. I thought I would probably work crappy retail jobs and be broke for the rest of my life.

I learned to program because there were tasks I would prefer not to do, so I learned how to automate them out of my purview. Work avoidance, it turns out, is a hallmark of the craft. Why put off for tomorrow what can be put off entirely?

Is that laziness? A younger me joked that it is along the lines of: I'm a lazy programmer; the good kind of lazy.

I no longer see it that way. I see it as one lens among many into my state of mind which ultimately gives me both drive and difficulty—that makes me incredibly effective and also prone to forgetting to do simple chores for weeks at a time.

Edit: that said, I wasn’t motivated to get around the paywall, so I have no idea if the article discusses similar concepts making my reply potentially redundant.
I will take phone calls, and like others here I find talking to customers enormously useful and instructive.

I also use Zendesk, which I find more efficient because I can send screen shots that clarify my instructions and responses. I can also search my customer support history for frequently asked questions and their answers.
And in Europe they have 100 year mortgages. US still have plenty of options to make monthly payments affordable.
Presumably it has value in that it makes it easy to integrate Qur'an content into an existing application.

Beyond that, it seems like this could be used as a base for adding new translations, commenting and conversation on particular verses, personal collections of scripture, etc. If you are planning on going in any of those directions you need to build a platform for the static stuff before you expand.
Customers have already agreed their tariff (how much they pay) with the supplier, since a massive spike like this wasn't predicted and the supplier is obligated to keep paying to supply their customers regardless of whether its at a loss some suppliers with limited capital reserves are quickly burning through them.
All of this is true, but of course Gary himself advises a low carb high fat diet which has its own problems. So a more complete version of the above without straying too far in the other direction would be something like CICO + a balanced diet that seeks to hit most macro and micronutrients as well. For anyone interested, Stan Efferding's Vertical Diet is by far the best guide I've seen personally to putting together a nutrition program that seeks to hit these goals. (I'm not getting any money for saying that, of course.)
Rhapsody was still pre-Mk but had 4.4BSD userland. It could run OPENSTEP binaries if you copied the shared libraries over, from memory one of the ex-NeXT engineers did this for fun.
It's a feature, not a bug, but in order for it to be a feature, every service should accept multiple FIDO2 keys. Many services get this utterly wrong, including AWS, while Google, Github, and Facebook notably have good implementations.

Why it's a feature: if you lose a key you can log in with another key and disable the lost key.

If you lose your house key you have no option but to change the lock, if you want to be safe from thieves.
> if you take out a $1m loan and then interest rates go up, you're still liable for the whole $1m even though your actual asset might only be worth $900k now. I think this is one of the big dangers of having an essential need like housing cost such a large multiple of income.

You could always walk away. Better to be under water on a mortgage than own it outright. This is called a strategic default. Lenders know this which is why they require a substantial down payment (typically 20% in the US)

Most people wouldn't do it if they're slightly under water. But eventually many people would consider walking away and taking a hit on their credit score, which get totally wiped out after 7 years anyway.
M$ terms and conditions, just like Android's terms and conditions, are very verbose and do tell you that you can either accept those terms or decline. But if you decline you can't install/setup the OS. So basically agree or go away. And since usage of either software isn't a human right, they're in the clear.

Of course you are, you're outright denying people's reported experiences - "to see something outrageous one had to actively look for something outrageous."

As for the rest, I'm not making any particular claims here, just pointing out that yours seem to be driven by agenda more than reality.

The original claims that freenet is mostly used for CSAM might not be supportable either (in fact they may never be supportable, given the nature of freenet and how it works), but you go too far the other way.

That logic doesn’t follow. If one nation ever has an issue it’s suddenly immoral for them to call out that issue elsewhere ?

I mean given how painful surfside, I’d much rather people speak up on the danger of shoddy construction so in a few decades there aren’t surfsides occurring in China or Guam or Canada or Florida. But I guess making loud noises about bad construction is immoral.
What's the deal with tab size (8 spaces) in the GitHub UI?
Kinda. If I buy a 1M home at 2.5% interest, I have a $4,000 monthly payment. If rates go to 6%:

- Housing prices plummet to $600,000, assuming people are willing to spend the same per month.

- My monthly payments are identical to had I bought at $600k at 6%. If I stay there, I'm not much worse off. It's harder to pay off the home quickly.

- If I move out, and I rent out my home, it covers monthly payments approximately exactly.

The only time the owner is in danger is if:

1) They need to move.

2) They can't rent out the original property.

Rent works out since while the home is a liability, with 6% interest rates, the 2.5% loan is an asset.

As a footnote, what I expect is actually happening here is people are anticipating high inflation. If that happens, this isn't a bubble. Real housing prices might be fixed, at least looking out a few years.
> Never mind that nothing of the sort happened and you can still run whatever you want on your PC

To be fair, that was largely because of significant public pushback on early versions of the Microsoft requirements (which didn't require that it be possible to disable secure boot) and a lot of negotiation with Microsoft to ensure that third party operating systems would be able to get signatures.

(Source: one of the people who designed and implemented Shim and ensured that Microsoft would be willing to sign it)
I think you misunderstood the parent comment.

Even with a fixed interest rate, you still owe the entirety of your borrowed amount on the $1m purchase to the lender, but your property value may drop if the interest rates go up because, assuming the market value is tied to the interest rate, new buyers won't be able or willing to borrow $1m to buy your place at a rate higher than what you borrowed your $1m at. For the same monthly payment as you have now, a new buyer may only be able to borrow enough to afford a $900k home.

Someone with the same income and monthly expense limit as you wouldn't be able to afford your home, assuming rates went up, which is why the value might drop - fewer buyers.
> TFA explains that procrastination is not laziness.

I didn't say that procrastination is identical with laziness. I did give a direct example drawn from the article showing how a person exhibited laziness.

The difference between procrastination and laziness is obvious from their definitions. TFA is not needed to know they differ. Procrastination is postponing something, while laziness is being unwilling to act. But, none of that matters. The blanket assertion is that Laziness Does Not Exist, which is obviously false. There are people who are unwilling to act in certain situations.
I would guess it's either the clipboard history or the typing data telemetry. Both of those can be turned off. I'm sure someone will say that those have turned themselves back on with updates, but I'll believe that when I see it.

Edit: actually just noticed that there's nothing to back this claim up. I didn't realize that the reply here was from a different account and not the one that's talking about the whole Win-R sequence. It's entirely possible that this is a packet capture from typing into the start menu search with the web search feature enabled.
Most functionality that people use Ublock Origin for doesn't actually require Safari extensions – it can be more efficiently and privately implemented using Content Blocker extensions. These have been available on iOS for a long time now.

We develop an ad blocker [1] for iOS (and macOS) that has complete ad blocking functionality simply by using the content blocking mechanism.

The only time we've found that we've needed to resort to using Safari extensions is for our YouTube ad blocking; specifically to block the pre-roll video ads. So at least on iOS this will now be supported as well as of iOS 15.

Most Excel users are unaware of modern software practices, and wouldn't know where to begin. The software developers don't know how to teach us. Perhaps someone should create a series of practical 15 minute lessons, each of which can be applied to an existing spreadsheet, to make it better.

I have literally improved my Python code in 15 minute chunks, but it's a lot easier to find good coding advice for Python, plus the editors provide things like built-in linters and style checkers that help quite a lot. And Python wasn't my first rodeo, so I already understood the value of good coding practice and some of the theory behind it.
South Korea can build nuclear on time and on budget, so it is possible.

And for the sake of the discussion, I think France can be fairly considered decarbonized, even if not really 100%.

If you're going to define a "God" as something that can hide down there and turn the wheels of natural subatomic particles, I'd argue that you've already clearly departed from the realm of magic.

There used to be an unknown something beneath what we knew that operated on all objects. Now that we know what it is, we call it gravity. So if I'm understanding this right, mysticism is mindset that meets the prospect of a subatomic "God" with "it's beautiful, okay, so what's for lunch?" instead of "holy shit, surely we can apply scientific tools of discovery & knowledge to figure out how what this is and how it works?"? This seems more like lazy thinking to me; the very concept of an inscrutable "God" is a thought terminating cliche. How is that an inquiring mindset? Edit: How is that an inquiring mindset when the mystic reaction to a "God" is not inquiring what it is and how it works?
What a find! Rota is a wonderful writer. I'm familiar with Ulam's brilliant work at Los Alamos so this biographical essay about him is especially fascinating to me.
"Zoning is regulation."
> Business regulation.

Are you really not aware that when people are mentioning Texas' easy regulation many times they are literally often talking about zoning?

> You seem to be misunderstanding me. It's not that it can't be done in the populated area, but that it's better done in areas not already in a precarious situation.

No I completely understand you, and find the "too many dense already" line of logic ludicrous. Most of these American cities have zoned over 80% of their land at one story buildings only. American cities are already at the lowest density compared to European or other countries density. They can accommodate plenty of housing fine.

> So we have circular logic here. If the labor is expensive, you aren't going to make it cheaper (at least short term) by building more houses because the labor cost to build those houses will still be high.

No there is no circular logic here. As I already noted the larger burden of the cost of housing comes from zoning restricting the amount of buildable land. And yes you will need to build lots of housing -- thats what happens one restricts building housing for decades.
I interpreted this as drinking alcohol so that you could sleep even if the cold would have made you too uncomfortable normally. It's not always adaptive obviously (you could freeze to death, etc), but the idea is that the alcohol allows you to sleep when you would otherwise be kept awake by discomforts that cannot be fixed tonight, and the night of full sleep will serve you better.

Bay Area homes often don't qualify for FHA stuff due to price.

Could be an artifact of however the proxying or decryption is done, particularly if the goal was to have the traffic be decrypted as it went across the NIC not just to get a copy of the data being proxied locally.

Or it could be an artifact of bad editpcap-ing. Same with the all 0s Ethernet source/destinations.

Either way I don't think it was the run box that triggered it. Either they didn't know the original run box is still a thing and the field in the taskbar is a search box or they have clipboard history enabled and didn't realize that's a cloud function while they were ctrl+c and ctrl+v-ing into the box.

Agree about Mozilla's engineering culture, in their mobile division at least. It's startling to think that literally the only alternative to a Blink monoculture on Android is a poorly-managed alternative. I now see myself as a holdout of Firefox on desktop, because the constant issues and quagmire of inexplicable UI changes compelled me to move to Brave on mobile.

As an example, the GeckoView ticket[1] that #17716 depends on has been constantly pushed back from v88 to possibly v93 or later over the past year. Being able to save an image that I am able to see on a webpage is what I consider basic functionality, but there does not seem to be much of an acknowledgement from the GeckoView team about its importance.

Another example is this[2] issue report I submitted. It was closed because they "couldn't address it", and even after providing a video showing the exact problem, my report was still ignored. The issue is that it does not matter whether or not they consider it a problem, because I do, and Chromium does not have the same problem. That only makes me more likely to choose Chromium over Firefox. Compound that a dozen times over, and for me, practicality wins out over principle.

I'm also worried about the long-term stability of their mobile division - not only because of Servo, but because issues related to the mobile team being understaffed and overworked had come to light in at least once instance in the past. Mobile web browsers are becoming far too important to get wrong in the present day, and after realizing this fact, I have to wonder why Mozilla's financial structure still prevents direct contributions to their development teams for Firefox, and why they are still using what resources they do have on far less important projects like Mozilla VPN or Relay.

Training will only broaden when there is economic incentive for it - from a practical perspective a neurologist isn’t going to learn general practice after they make 500k per year as a neurologist in order to have an opportunity to make 150k per year.

This is problematic if we expect neurologists to be good well rounded doctors, but not if we just expect them to be good neurologists. I don’t expect my dentist to be able to deal with a heart murmur.

Laziness is the quality of not being willing to work or use any effort [1]

Lazy: averse or disinclined to work, activity, or exertion; indolent. [2]

According to Larry Wall, the original author of the Perl programming language, there are three great virtues of a programmer; Laziness, Impatience and Hubris [3]
