I am having a hard time seeing how having the option of distinct codepoints would break anything.

Consider, İ/i where it is _possible_ to do lossless case conversion:

> lc( 'İ' ) becomes i followed by COMBINING DOT ABOVE which means uc(lc 'İ') becomes LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH DOT ABOVE as a by product of the fact that perl6 deals in graphemes[1]

say 'İ' eq 'İ'.lc.uc.lc.uc;
True

If an extra codepoints existed for Turkish dotted I, such contortions would not be necessary and this would have had no implications for existing working code at the time (nothing says those codepoints must be used, they just give smart software options).

Now, there is nothing one can do with I/ı that will make 'ı' eq 'ı'.uc.lc.uc.lc true without extra information. If codepoints existed, then such special casing and carrying around extra information would not have been necessary.

Also note:

# The letter Ö is not considered to be a variant of the letter O,
# and is a separate letter in the Swedish alphabet. The former
# character is, however, the accepted alternative in contexts where
# Ö cannot be used. Earlier practice substituted OE, which is no
# longer recommended but will still be encountered.
#
U+00F6 # LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH DIAERESIS

It should not have been too hard to say "The letter İ is not considered to be a variant of the letter I" and vice versa for the lower case versions.

> The schadenfreude is real for me seeing this. A company like Zillow getting into flipping seems questionable to me. The customers are no longer aligned with the company on goals with something like this. It's like when the realtor offers to buy your house... they obviously feel like they can make more than you, when they're supposed to represent you!

I've personally dealt with selling real estate within the past calendar year. Having someone willing to offer me an option highly likely to close quickly at a small discount to the prospective market rate would have been a pretty attractive option. Otherwise it can take months upon months to close a sale. Months in which I'd really like to have that money and perhaps be thousands of miles away.

Do they think they can make more money than me? I have no doubt. Am I as patient or able to invest as a business much larger than me? Probably not. The real estate market is not always a particularly liquid or quick one to operate in.

> Somebody holds large chunks of the $70.5 billion in USDT.

Personally I'm really really confused about who holds all that Tether. Just who is it? I can't come up with any good idea. Is it the exchanges? But if so then why would they?
As someone who definitely believes cryptocurrency is a big part of our future, and that stablecoins are going to be a big part of it -- I still absolutely fail to see what possible advantage strong government regulation provides?

It might make sense if we didn't already have regulated banks -- but we do.

Honestly, I have no idea what's going to happen to Tether, but I fail to see any advantage to gov't stepping in.

Either Tether's a big scam and a lot of people lose their shirts -- fine, that's a healthy failure to learn from. Or it's not, it stays stable despite being backed by nothing and congrats, they invented a new form of fiat.
I'm curious if there's a possibility to make a digital asset search in the feed for this one?

The business of iBuying is destined for the trash heap, its future so seemingly inevitable that I'm shocked anyone alive considers this a viable business with a real terminal value. Did we not learn real fast back in 08 that the financialization of people's homes is basically a non-starter? Being a glorified payday lender with people's homes is never going anywhere. It's one big Catch 22, if these companies ever even figure out how to make money from this (and so far they can't) they will inevitably just get shut down by local governments, which has already begun in Europe.
People seem to have found an undisclosed internal address and made accounts there. Would this be an instance of “distribution of the service” in lawyer terms?
A change in Government isn't due for at least three more years - and even then, it's unlikely, as the ruling party hasn't really lost their popularity. I think you're right in that they were hoping for changes, but maybe through an internal process or something like that which didn't work out as expected.
It's pretty obvious that there are large returns to density. This has been repeatedly studied.

This is why people move to cities and why employers move to cities.

As more people are brought into the world, those cities will get larger. Effectively prohibiting construction is a ridiculously stupid policy

> Nothing wrong with people in a community wanting to set standards for their area.

There certainly can be. I don't buy this perspective of extreme local control - it obviously can't apply for everything, and housing is one of the things it shouldn't apply to.

It's also not just about "personal preference" - building more housing in these areas would be societally welfare improving. That is more than just my preference.
You have to be careful with that sort of thing, especially when you're new and don't have the vibe of the place... I think you did the right thing by not saying anything at first. I'm glad you were able to get out early though.
I think the problem with Nix is that it is actually not a package manager but a build tool (that provides some package management utilities). People try Nix with the assumption that it should be as easy as apt-get (for example), but found tutorials with a block of code in a weird language...

Sure, you will eventually need to use the Nix language if you want to have complex and reusable configurations, but this is actually not needed for beginners! To install packages, you need the Nix package manager (with channels already setup) and use `nix-env` to install for the current user. You can just search for the package in https://search.nixos.org/packages and use the command directly.

If you want to have user configurations, use home-manager, just modify the example to add other options, you seldom need complicated Nix expressions unless you need to build a package by yourself.

When you really need to do so, you may want to have a look at other's build script, and make sure you understand everything in the build process, including compile dependencies and runtime dependencies, environment variables, etc. You may want to read Nix Pills at some point, but maybe you can get away with reading just the relevant section (incomplete knowledge, but usually enough to get the work done).
If hydrogen fuel cells lasted longer than batteries (in lifespans, not-per charge) or required fewer rare metals to create, I can see a giant win. EVs are pretty wasteful if you consider the entire car lifespan and not just what the end consumer fills up with, to the point that I feel the ecologically superior action is just to drive an old ICE.
You mean: removed FSD? Because that's pretty much the only way to fix it.
Seriously, that is the real question. Considering almost every other recent buyer in the U.S. has made money (on paper) on their property without having done any analysis.

Yeah, these are “colorways” in the manufacturing sense - they don’t change layout, patterns, etc, only swap out what colors are present. I’ve tried them out, they’re nice. You pick a (curated) colour, and choose nether you want a dark/light/mixed theme based on it. It’s not the most complex feature ever, but it’s well done.

I print "three-sided cards", usually on 4″×6″ paper. Some of these are photos I take, some are art public domain art, some come from anime imageboards.

One thing I found was that a clean frame of 720p or better video makes a great print so I have a series of cards that come from movies and TV. I don't sell the cards so I think these fall under "fair use"

If both-side-ism makes you feel better than everyone else. It didn't start collapsing in 2017. This has been brewing for a long time, one could argue since the 90s, when political discourse and bipartisanship started degrading. Donald Trump was just the catalyst needed to accelerate the final collapse. And by collapse I mean "collapse". American democracy is not surviving the next 20 years.

As an aside, it it really strange to see people falling in front of Trump to protect him on HN, a place with seemingly smart people. A man with zero principles, no moral compass, and fewer redeeming qualities than Caligula.

And all of this in a thread that is wondering - why doesn't Donald Trump care about our rules?

See section 8, "Termination":

https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.en.html

Revoke may not be the legally correct word to use, but it's an informal blog post and not a legal document, and what they intended to say is clear enough.

I think that your understanding of how the licensure works is a bit off. Open source software is still individually licensed to everyone. The copyright holder retains copyright, and can terminate an individual's rights under the license as long as the license includes a termination clause. Which the AGPL does.
"But there's also the side of people wanting single family homes instead of apartment'

Most people who can't afford a home would not reject a decent apartment, they just want somewhere to live.
Also those are not the only two choices, there are duplex and triplex homes, illegal in most of us, and other variations

"Nothing wrong with people in a community wanting to set standards for their area."

So in this "democracy" people who don't own a house have no voice and no right? Why does this remind me of some other mechanism for opressing undesirables?
I'll repeat what others have said above, but perhaps with more emphasis on the layperson's perspective.

I think I started using homebrew some 4+ years ago. I have no idea what a cask, tap, pour, or whatever is. At first things "just worked" and it was great.

Then came the couple of afternoons where I had an important project to finish, and I had to upgrade X. I think once it was matplotlib (for which I had to upgrade pip? ... I can't remember) or something silly like that. Everything broke, I had to reinstall all my python packages (that's when I moved to pyenv), and I did not finish my work on time. There was probably an easier way, but I was (am) a newb and I didn't know how.

I remember brew was one of the first command line utilities I ever used and thought, "woah, that was easy _and_ cool!", but I no longer think I am the target audience.

Someone might say the onus is on me to learn more about the tools I use, and they are probably right. I need to know my .tmux.conf or .zshrc or whatever to get the most out of those, too, and sometimes I like to dive in. For the most part, I just want to Get On With My Work and be oblivious.

If you could provide some guidance, I would genuinely be grateful. For a newbie like myself, when I see comments like "just set HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1" and then back and forth on why that does and doesn't work, I decide I don't have time for this today and cross my fingers I don't need to brew install anything in the near future. And if I do, I will probably avoid it (because it will take, I don't know, hours?).
IMO this is the correct behavior. Programs should never bother the user with prompts or interruptions of any sort unless absolutely necessary. "Do you want to install this security-critical update to your computer's largest attack surface?" does not rise to that level. The answer is obviously yes, so just do it and don't bother the user.

There's probably an advanced setting buried somewhere if you _really_ want to turn that behavior off, but why would you?

The biggest difference is that Motor Admin has a convenient self-hosted option with a single click deploy.
Self-hosted comes with many benefits like custom domain, ability to host under VPN, and faster UI due to lower network roundtrip and CORS avoidance.

Also, Motor Admin open-source version has powerful business intelligence features with custom SQL reports, BI dashboards with variables and fields, and automated email reports.

Also Motor Admin's UI is optimized on mobile and the UI is faster in general.

In terms of available features open-source, self-hosted Motor Admin could become a much better option than ForestAdmin SaaS for an admin interface.
Nice. I'm in the same boat - I ordered a couple of hundred ATSAMD parts that I didn't end up using, and now they are going for almost 2x what I paid due to 50+week lead times. Crazy times!

Sort of related (conceptually) to the Flexport CEO's recent thread (https://twitter.com/typesfast/status/1453753924960219145) about ROE and just-in-time production, and their impact. There was a long HN thread about that as well (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29029825).

In the US, fixed interest mortgage rates are sort of the standard. So, the decision to buy now based on interest rates is a keen driver of many buyers.

Unfortunately it is winter now and my more active hobby of biking is off the table, and my body is unable to handle more than 2 days a week of climbing at this point. I've tried learning Japanese, which I find interesting, but I find that no resource for it quite seems to work in a way that isn't tedious to the point of making me not want to bother. That may be endemic to any language that uses logograms so extensively, I don't know. I have no desire to learn an instrument because I'm apparently one of those odd people who feels no particular attachment to music.
In that case, Mastodon would be deciding who counts as "marginalized", and I really doubt they would see it that way.
Git - yes, GitHub (issue tracker + CI) - no. That's one of my favourite parts of Git actually - how much you can do offline.

..unless maybe the interest rate is fixed for the duration of the loan, which is frequently the case in the US..
This is something like running a high end restaurant that is not easy to do or benefits from scale. You need a proprietor interested in it. Most people that "flip" homes successfully are personally involved in the projects. They have relationships with local subcontractors, know the area, and often professionally work in one of the trades or related fields such as law.

The world is awash with cheap money now, so simply having deep pockets is not going to get you what you want. You can't just buy people that have the skill to manage the people involved and the projects at a large scale.

The analogous restaurant situation is if you have a great chef that can run a location, why are they going to work for you? They will just open their own restaurant. Businesses where the only thing you can offer at scale is money don't work.
I disagree strongly with this sentiment. Clearly Zillow is not going to buy all the houses in America and turn us into serfs overnight - that is an absurd strawman. What? Zillow is far from the only actor here trying to enter this space. It's quite ridiculous to claim, as you are, that industrial-scale home speculation is doomed to fail since there are boom and bust cycles and therefore we don't need to worry. That's ridiculous. We really don't have any direct, past precedent for this type of situation. It is rational to be concerned here. The fact that Zillow failed on their initial attempt does not imply that this can't work - it just means they're one of the first making a serious attempt and, unsurprisingly, they got overzealous and it didn't work on the first try! Quant firms for the stock market in the early 90s did not work overnight even though the market was much more inefficient than it is now. It takes time for groups of highly qualified and very smart people to figure this stuff out - but, they will.

Firefox team: keep it up.
I don't know about this version but at least one could uninstall the maintenance service.

It was the first thing I'd nuke before allowing my PC to reconnect to the internet, the second was to nuke every talk-home-Mozilla link that about:config would allow to either be changed or deleted. This worked, as updates wouldn't even work when clicking 'updates' in the menu.

Mozilla has a damned hide to automate updates, not to mention gathering data about users' habits without telling them what's been gathered, and also not allowing users to turn off that collection if they wished.

(BTW, we know the depth of this surveillance just by looking at Mozilla's comments on v94's webpage. There's no way Mozilla would know that data unless Firefox's surveillance of its users had been all-pervasive.)

By going the way of the rest of the industry, Mozilla is shooting itself in the foot. People who've used Firefox in the past have done so because they want an alterative - not more of the same.

I expect Mozilla will go defunct soon, it's now been on its self-destruct path for too long for it to be rescued.

It isn't the standard now. All other manufacturers have switched to CCS Type 1 Combo. Tesla is the last holdout.

Tesla sells J1772 chargers and they will sell a CCS adapter. The next step is to put CCS plugs on the chargers and then CCS inlets on the cars.
I seriously doubt that former president Richard Nixon would have ever been on Twitter behaving the way our 45th president did. From what I saw the only way he was treated was to get a pass on violation after violation of Twitter's TOS.
