> Who, then, is qualified to speak on these issues?

For starters, can we agree that a publicity stunt like spending a week in a tent as a live action roleplay is no way to get any insight on a deep-rooted social and economic problem? Specially given the clear preexisting bias and political motivation to ignore the problem, avoid accountability, and continue doing absolutely nothing?

> Is only aggregate data through official channels, and not individual experience, relevant to the discussion?

I am really perplexed by the insistence of this take. I mean, aren't these "official channels" actually people paid by him to work for him full time on this issue?

How terribly disfuncional and incompetent is a whole local government, led by this mayor, supposed to be if he feels the need to waste a week's worth of his personal time to do something himself when no one in his own organization, not a single person, is able to reliably gather any info or insight onto the problem?

I mean, in other issues we see the executives of local governments appointing people to actually fix the problem with clear goals in mind, and hold them accountable for the outcome.

But no. I this case we're only seeing a former senator turned mayor somehow arriving at the conclusion that homeless people are all drug addicts and/or suffering from mental health problems. From that starting point, the solution is, surprisingly, to go with the same political tropes of using the police to brush the problem under the rug by banning all the undesidables to get them out of sight.

When I was in charge of a Jenkins server, one of complains was not having a way to have a list of failed builds of a job, other than email. Fortunately jobs on Jenkins has RSS feeds for such things. This certainly solved the problem of having to develop yet another in-house app/plugin/hack.

RSS is such an underrated technology. It sure could use an update such creating a push protocol instead of pulling the world and be more dynamic with a standardized basic content selection API (something like querystring?last_updated=10&tags=subject1;subject2).

And the honesty of the feed is so precious. I want to be able to build my own algorithm. Too bad good RSS clients aren't around and a lot of platforms terminated their RSS feeds.
Good, the pursuit of truth should not be biased with the desire for "life satisfaction". Too many people confuse religion with self-help orgs.
pretty harsh knowing a tech worker who's been disabled by covid and seeing you write off deaths from covid as irrelevant without any explanation.

first, no, not irrelevant. what on earth even justifies thinking that?

second, disability from covid is far more widespread than death. some studies indicate 10% of covid cases turn into long covid, becoming essentially permanent. that's much higher than the death rate.

Whether you (and fellow Marxists) like it or not, Joe Rogan is one of the most influential broadcasters in America today.

Marxists lose their minds when they compare his reach (over 10 million listeners) compared to leftist organs.

In addition, he is an expert interviewer with genuine curiosity, as seen in his destruction of Sanjay Gupta's ineffectiveness in his role as medical advisor at CNN regarding corona medications. Gupta's pathetic response after the interview was that he was afraid of Rogan.
Very cool. I didn't know websites had that kind of control over pop-up placement.

It gets quite confused with multi-monitor setups, though. I had to disconnect all but one display to be able to play. The paddles appeared on one display and the ball on another. The ball also only moved vertically.
> How would you avoid those same issues happening yet again to the hoped for shiny new effort?

Maybe i am getting your tone wrong, but in saying 'hoped for shiny new effort' i think maybe you are dismissing an effort from ever working, which seems it would be defeatist for anyone who genuinely believes public housing could be good. I guess i just don't feel like you are asking in good faith. If you wanted to do it, you would have to believe you can overcome these challenges by becoming aware of all of them, and then organizing to make it happen.

Just to understand what we are up against if we actually try to make it happen, look to the Philadelphia MOVE bombing of 1985 [1]. People organizing fully within their rights yet Philadelphia bombed Philadelphia. Smears all around of course. Anything but admit bombing your own city is bad, i guess.

Usually up to the point where giving 50-100sqm of road to 1.1 people traveling in a car prevents more people from living in the area (because all there is is roads and parking), and more scalable infrastructure is built.

That wasn't enough. I'm sure they fought for it before the public did. It took the public calling out Microsoft's duplicity for them to change face. I'm sure the insiders' voices helped, but they weren't adequate.

IOW, Microsoft will absolutely do it again, if they think they can slip it past the public. Outrage can't be a driving force for very long, and they know that.
I doubt that Microsoft was looking to get into the "advanced text editor" business. Their biggest money maker is Azure, they made a text editor that promotes Azure.
There is good evidence in terms of attrition numbers published by major tech companies --- it has gone as high as 22%!! India is also experiencing a major demand for software developers

It's due to venture funds, remote work & high demand ...

Cash is cheap. US, Europe & Japan have unleashed >$9 trillion since the pandemic in stimulus checks & buying of bonds in the market. Global venture funding hit a record high of $221B with 250 start-ups becoming unicorns this year. Coinbase debuted publicly with a market cap of $89B on its opening day. Indian start-ups have received a record funding of $8.76B

Salary Difference is Huge . The average salary of a software developer in the US is $107K with senior developers commanding $300K in San Francisco, a stark difference compared to India. Demand for talent is coming from all industries, the automotive sector hired more software engineers than the tech sector last year, all the more reason for going remote

Which means remote postings have risen by 457% since the past year! Engineers prefer to continue WFH as it enables flexibility, increased productivity & reduced commute times. Even the challenge of different time zones can be solved using good asynchronous communication in remote work

To recap, an engineer can work for
- FAAMG (Remain the top pick)
- US & EU software giants (Coinbase, GitLab, Automattic)
- 3000 India Dev Centers (Eg: John Deere)
- IPO-bound unicorns (Zomato, Paytm, MobiKwik)
- Freshly funded start-ups (100s)
- 2800 IT services firms

What is the impact?

Attrition rates in Indian IT will be at an all-time high of 22-23% this year. Top-tier candidates now get multiple offers with an eye-popping 2x-3x (not 20%-30%) raise. The 2-3 month notice period means candidates continue interviewing after accepting the 1st offer. Developers are consistently learning new skillsets on AI, Machine learning, cloud computing, automation, blockchain to be in high demand. No doubt, multiple founders have recently tweeted about this new competitive market & candidates informing before joining date

Recruiters & founders need to differentiate themselves not just with cash, but also with ESOPs, buybacks, venture backing, eye-watering benefits, rapid career growth & work even harder to retain existing talent

The war for talent is on
> IMO, React really could have benefited from devoted language syntax for this (like Svelte does) to automagically and statically track all the dependencies. But React has an ethos of being "just JavaScript" (even JSX desugars to relatively straightforward React.createElement calls, and you can treat those nodes like regular JS objects, pass them around willy nilly, etc.), so it didn't happen (and instead we have lint rules like ESLint rules-of-hooks that are designed to enforce the invariants that really the programming language should enforce).

It’s “just JavaScript” like React, but with automatic dependency tracking. My understanding is that React hooks are the best React can do given backwards compatibility requirements. Reacts beast feature is it’s ecosystem.

Grid might solve some issues that Flexbox didn't but my experience is that without fail, I try to make the various panes, then I try to put some content inside the panes and either (a) the content doesn't correctly fill the panes (b) the panes get warped in ways I wasn't expecting because of the content. And, it's always a bunch of trial and error and unintuitive crap like "max-width: 0" to get it to work

Make sure you understand your motives to do so. I’m a lifelong loner, don’t really have any friends but a few folks I meet about once a year and sometimes talk to online. That’s OK, it’s just who I am. So why exactly are you looking for friends? Often understanding the need in specific terms allows to find a solution. Hope this helps!
Drugs create big livability problems for the neighborhood residents who aren’t using them. For example, despite the presence of needle exchanges throughout my city, it’s not uncommon to find a used needle on the ground. Or, people who are high on meth do all sorts of disruptive and disturbing things, like having screaming matches with themselves in the middle of the street. So yeah, drugs are, in fact, a problem.

So you’re saying any attempt by a politician to go and talk to homeless people in person - not to get to the root of the cause, but just to listen to them and observe - should be avoided as it’s just a publicity stunt?

And what do you mean “ignore the problem”? I directly quoted his conclusion which included “we should do more to house them”. Can you point to a conclusion of his where he actively sought to ignore the problem?

I’m struggling to wrap my head around your rationale. If the situation were different - let’s say a lack of childcare options - would you also tell politicians not to talk directly to parents looking for childcare? Only talk to advocacy organizations because such a “stunt” doesn’t get to the “deep seated social issues at hand”?

And what do you mean “waste a week”? Since when is having leaders directly engage people a problem? What angle are you coming at this from? I’m trying to understand your motivations when you’re actively rejecting efforts to find solutions.
You can say that about literally everything that we did in the past and don't do anymore because we finally came up with better alternatives. Take the mining industry for most of its existence for example. Working in the mines was a literal death sentence, yet people did it voluntarily. Even children. Why? Because there were no alternatives for them.

LSP appears to be alive and well with editors that are not VS Code. The entire point of LSP is to decouple the text editor from the language, and it works.

If VS Code has more support for LSP it is because Microsoft has poured money into it, invented LSP to begin with, and popularized it with VS Code to begin with.
> The model I use to think of it is that drugs steal life energy from your future and give it to you in the present.

I know this might sound naive but I don’t have firsthand experience: is that also valid for marijuana? What are the long term effects in that case?
The problems around drugs exist because theyre illegal.If we were more accepting, legalized use, and had real support systems in place for people struggling these problems would go away.

We have littering rules, we as a society don't find it important. Why is styrofoam or cans OK. If you thinks drugs are a problem because they are a source of litter you should also think take out and portable food and other things people litter with are a problem?

What exactly is hilarious about the concept of authenticity? I don't see the argument
I worked for a company where I had a great relationship with the CEO and directly reported to him. There was a reorg the January of 2020 and I remember thinking, "I'm on the bottom of this org chart", even though the product I was building was supposed to be worth 5x the current revenue of the company, and I was the only person full-time on it and was architecting it to be scalable and low maintenance (we can't afford Amazon level support staff).

I got put under the CEO'S twin brother who did not trust the tech stack I was using (never mind that three of our critical SAASes we were subscribing to -- including payments!! and 24/7 alert monitoring!! used that stack) "it was an unknown quantity" -- and then we had arguments about hiring (he pushed through a hire that three of the four tech reviewers thumbs downed, and I personally flagged as problematic because he had wrong code and asserted during the interview "I am certain it's correct" -- his code was so crap and hard to understand that took me three hours of writing a property testing framework to find the bug), then he forced onto a team someone "with Amazon experience" who I thumbs downed because his code was shit and didn't read the instructions (which is part of my interview acceptance criteria). I had found some great "almost seniors"/"early senior" devs who had the right attitude to figure shit out and deliver code, but he didn't want to hire them because they "weren't senior enough".

Anyways shortly after that I quit with no immediate prospects, and pretty quickly got a great job on a fantastic team (though the codebase is very brownfield), so I'm not sad I resigned.

That's certainly one way to frame it; though, I think, a very narrow view.

They knew they were going to lose some 'developer love' when they originally made the decision. They went ahead anyway. So, your framing isn't adequate.

What made them walk back is when they realised _how much_ they'd lose. Which happened only because lots of people were outraged and vocally spoke against it. Far more than the number of people they were expecting.

It'd be naive to believe they didn't know they're going to lose some, especially given how long they've kept up their charade of 'MS :hearts: OSS'. What's more likely, and supported from evidence of their similar behaviour in other parts of their OSS charade, is that they thought they could get away with it this time too.

Visiting Barcelona it didn't seem remotely car "unfriendly". In fact the opposite, much of the city was a boring grid and lots of streets full of fast moving cars.

I lived through hyperinflation as a kid (obviously not in the US). One of the things that kept us afloat were the 2 family cars - my parents sold them for a big profit, then sold the new cars again couple months later. Owning equity was a risky proposition at the time, as many companies went bankrupt overnight (including banks). You either kept the money in savings accounts that were indexed by gov bonds, or you’d lose most of your money value in a week.

Do you understand that you are talking about funding homeless shelters?

The job of a homeless shelter is to provide homeless people with temporary shelter instead of having them living on the streets. It is not in their job description or responsibilities or power to mitigate or eliminate the socio-economic problems that lead people to become homeless. That requires local government to put in place policies that addresses the root causes, such as ensuring housing is affordable, or those struggling with mental problems can receive help.

> There is no obligation to provide any alternative, and no obligation to defer to a consensus in the absence of one. ... One does not require a better way of obtaining the truth in order to avoid committing oneself to accepting unjustified claims.

In order to act on a claim (inaction is also an action; "avoid committing oneself to accepting" is just ornate wording for choosing inaction) one must evaluate the "probability of truth" of said claim. To my knowledge, scientific consensus is the most reliable source to inform that evaluation. Since you fail to provide a more effective alternative, then it seems that scientific consensus is at least non-inferior to any other method either of us is currently aware of. Thus it is the rational choice on which to base action; basing them on a less reliable source gives a higher probability of being "wrong", and thus would be irrational.

> I see no evidence that this narrative is generally true.

Honest answer: Then I invite you to attend a consensus conference, or enough of them for the p-value on your evaluation of how they run to reach whatever level is acceptable to you.
Tongue-in-cheek answer: You also have no evidence you aren't a simulated agent in an advanced species' super-computer (Descartes's "brain in a jar"). At some point, you have to choose some axioms and build your world-view from there.
