I know that there are usually workarounds to these problems, but they tend to be obscure, and change frequently, and are not simple to look up.

Pacman, apt, portage, etc have much more stable interfaces. But the workarounds for my edge cases in Homebrew from a year ago don't work anymore. Even knowing what is an edgecase or not is a problem.

Most of these issues would be fine if the interface changed as slowly and consistently as Linux package managers.

One thing I've been wondering for a long time (and my Google-fu is apparently too weak to find on my own): how do certain console applications change the output color without inserting ANSI escape sequences into the output stream? The specific case I have in mind is when writing console programs in C#/.NET, and using the System.Console.ForegroundColor property to vary output colors on the fly. The resulting output text does not have ANSI escape characters in it, yet the colors are displayed properly in the terminal.
In fact, they provide liquidity, which is a good thing.

At the very least it should mimic the texture and taste (to a close enough degree) of the meat it is trying to replace. Otherwise it is not a replacement, it is an alternative.

Well, Dune has been a success, after 40 years, on about the fifth try. So we should expect the _good_ Hyperion adaptation around 2060, then :)

(Though, I think Hyperion is actually a _much_ harder one to adapt than Dune, certainly into a movie. There's far too much in it.)

The "good faith position" weasel words, along with the rest of my comment regarding the whole thing being a spectrum of subjective reasonableness, serve to make it clear that this is a highly subjective topic where you and I have different opinions.

Where I personally draw the line is something being presented as a "general purpose tool", versus as an exclusive work.

When Stuart Stemple created a pink pigment and granted license to use it to "everyone except Anish Kapoor", I thought it was a great artistic statement, but as a practical matter I think it's unreasonable.

It's the difference between a whitelist and a blacklist. Saying "you can use this if you meet these criteria (e.g. having no criteria, having paid me money, etc)" is okay, but saying "everyone can use this EXCEPT if I decide I don't want you too" is not. In my opinion.
We have run out of "zoned capacity" in the areas that people want to live.

Fortunately, this is an infinite resource, and we could flip simple governmental switches to allow more housing, which generates more property tax to grow the infrastructure.

However, existing homeowners are a political bloc that mightily resists flipping that switch, both because they don't like to see change, and also because they benefit financially from a housing shortage.

The institutions investors name these exact dynamics in their SEC filings: they know it's a good investment because local politicians listen to homeowners, and the homeowners will guarantee the shortage.

So in all honesty, I welcome institutional investors, and lots of them, because one their are more renters, the politics can be flipped. The renters, if they show up as a voting bloc, can finally open up the zoning to allow more housing.

Resident homeowners and institutional investors are no different here, they are both greedy investors, except the homeowners are even more greedy (they don't want new people in their city), and rhe homeowners have far more political control.
Sure, neither of them are ribeye equivalents. But at what cost will people pay for the the fake foods, and what issues will they bring? I'm actually very fond of quorn (with egg white) which I could be convinced is a 1:1 piece of chicken.
>I suspect the Fed will tighten somewhat (taper should be announced tomorrow), but they keep stating that inflation is transitory.

I hope so, but keep in mind, the Fed has lacked the will to tighten even in the most favorable conditions -- strong market, no covid -- merely because banks screamed bloody murder about having to pay slivers of a basis point more on overnight loans or (heaven forbid) stay more liquid so they don't need to get as many loans.

Even those new Ryan Homes which are cookie cutter and made out of pure vinyl are going for $250K. Maybe my doom-ish outlook is because I'm a millenial so I'm used to everything being bad.

6k: discover tenuki / sacrificing locally for global benefit, leaning attacks

> But I also firmly believe that the prisoner's dilemma and human psychology will limit the impact of institutional real estate buying just as in any other market.

Possibly. Real estate is different than most other markets for a few reasons. Favorable tax treatment, sheer market size, high barriers to entry, and being at the bottom of the hierarchy of needs.

I'm worried if this isn't the inevitable path of concentrated wealth accumulation. Stocks have grown too over-valued? Move to housing, a gigantic market that people require to survive.
> The people saying this have obviously never gone through a "bust" cycle.

Yes, indeed. What's more, those people have a large, receptive audience: An entire generation that has never gone through a "bust" cycle. We're talking about nearly everyone in their early 20's to their mid-30's who joined the workforce after the global financial crisis. They have zero personal experience as to what it's like to be an asset owner in a prolonged bust or bear market.
Dial-up still very much reigned supreme in the US in '97. However, we had finally stopped saddling it with punitive pricing models that discouraged people from actually taking full advantage of the Internet.

That's just moving the goalposts. Not really adding anything to the argument here.

The argument is just graduate students, not subset of graduate students that is impossible to measure with any accuracy based on available data due to your completely arbitrary and nebulous definitions. Also, even if we take your new arbitrary and meaningless 'definition', we can no longer use the key word from the original discussion: ----most----.

My point stands. Non-native graduate students skew older than native students by quite a bit.

It’s just sci fi. If you read a modern sci fi book you’ll find casual references to spaceplanes, wormholes, and stuff like that.

In many of them, the characters won’t even remark about the wormholes. It’s normal.

Like almost all ancient literature, Gods are just the primary medium via which the ideas are delivered. So sci fi becomes divine sci fi, drama becomes divine drama, etc.
Ask HN: Consumer WiFi router options in 2021
I am in the market for a new router. I’m open to mesh or just a beefy single router. I’d like WiFi 6 for future proofing but I really want good 2.4 and 5Ghz performance. I only have one device with 6 capability, so I could drop that feature until it is supported more in 5 years.

This is an update to this discussion, which frankly I found to echo my experience looking online a year later.
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24756061

There is no clear answer on what’s the “best” or even just a universal solid option.

Things I’m observing from reviews and comments around the internet:
Mesh isn’t ready and can have mixed performance on satellites.

Routers are starting to require logins and subscriptions. I have privacy concerns about those options, so no on Nest.

ASUS has quality control and customer support issues, but if you’re lucky they can be good.

Some companies don’t continue to update firmware and leave their routers to be vulnerable after a few years. Tp-link is one.

WiFi 6 capability can come at the cost of crap 2.4ghz performance.

Ubiquiti sounds good or terrible depending on who you listen to.

Why is Apple not selling a $400 router that just works, has good design, and slick UI (for Apple devices)? If the performance was good I’d just drop the cash and move on, All I ask is 5 years of security updates.
A sounds like it would lead to increased chances of people overpaying and overextending themselves, and B sounds like it would lead to more accurate pricing.
Basically, fit in, don't stand out.

So if you're not a lemming and want to succeed, pretend to fit in. Fake it till you make it.

The chances of getting ahead without challenging anyone/anything are extremely low.

The most cliche shit possible, but yeah, it holds up.

I think the acting gets much better over the seasons. And when I rewatched seasons 1-3 recently, I didn't notice it. But maybe I'm so into the characters and stories that it just doesn't register anymore. And the Expanse certainly does have interesting character relations as the story progresses.
Your example seems a bit off. Yes, Coca-cola is not required to enforce their trademark via legal means; however, they may lose the ability to prove infringement of the mark later (even in another case) if they do not police use of the mark. I think there was also a case or course of legal thought by some judges that the mark's owner owed a duty (fiduciary maybe?) to actively protect the mark from infringement or risk losing the trademark rights altogether.
That's interesting to me because the brothers are one of my favorite parts of the show because of the new ideas they bring up in relation to the Empire. It gives the writers some really clever and interesting ways to discuss the problems with a long-standing continuity of ideas while giving those internal inconsistencies human faces to stand-in for something that would be much more nebulous and vague otherwise.

I don't know about your assessment, Zillow in my opinion is just a third party here. Sure we can agree Zillow bought too much for probably too high of a price but I think there is a larger discussion about the significant move of institutional money into real estate. I have not seen that slow down and I have been amazed with how entire new developments are being bought up by institutions to be rental home communities. That I think is a new change that we have not seen at this volume before.
That's not key-logging. That's search suggestions. If you find the privacy implications of search suggestions damning, you've always been able to turn them off.

I don't like that level of telemetry, and I also dislike the "studies" and some of the other things they've pulled, but glibly referring to search suggestions as "key-logging" is disingenuous at best. It seems to imply that there's some nefarious logging happening that people aren't familiar with and can't disable.
Ignoring the lack of faith to the source material:

It's bad.. the dialogue, conflict, etc., are far below the levels we've come to expect in sci-fi shows like Expanse.

This is a complete waste of Jared Harris' talents. In the last episode, the resolution of his incomplete download was dramatized by a bit more screaming, then he was all good.

It doesn't feel elevated or sophisticated at all... it does look very pretty.

But it's not even representative of itself -- they keep talking about "trillions" of people here and there, and the new Book of Boba Fett does a better job of selling large population centers than Foundation ever does.

Also, my son made a point about the "unfilmable" books, which are a lot of dialogue: aren't most cop and lawyer shows mostly a lot of talk, usually in just a few common settings?

Yeah, I don't have my hopes up, particularly. Things are so good right now on pretty much every metric, they have to at least taper, though. I suspect they will use overly dovish language at the announcement though, which will spur even further speculation.

But the unfortunate aspect of the current fed is that they care way too much about the markets. And they are very short term oriented. They're pulling the good times of the future into the now, at potentially major costs later.

Exactly, and in that era the federal government financed massive amounts of new housing (for white people), with the intent of homeownership for nearly all white people.

And once homeownership became the norm, those same people started massive downzoning projects to prevent new homes from being built. And shortly after that, funding for public housing was gutted.

Which leaves us with the massive shortage we have now. We have plenty of money that is allowed to chase a smaller supply, as long as you can leverage your existing housing asset for a larger down payment. But all those people who didn't buy in the 1980s or earlier are at a massive disadvantage.

First, wanted to say thanks for heading a wonderful project. I personally love Homebrew!

What’s the difference in what Homebrew is doing from what normally happens with something like Pacman or Apt? My impression is that “core” binaries, like Python might be, don’t get updated as often as they would on Homebrew, and perhaps those dependency chains are less frequent. Is it because (e.g.) python versions change rarely on linux package managers? Or something about how the binaries are compiled?

I'm wondering if any one can point me to the right direction here. I'm trying to connect a USB mouse via bluetooth to my laptop. So I don't have to plug and unplug it as I walk away from my desk with my laptop. I could just buy a bluetooth mouse but I prefer to keep this one.

All the pieces needed seem to be there. I'd like to be able to connect my mouse to a Raspberry PI via USB and then have the PI talk to my laptop via bluetooth. The laptop needs to connect to the PI via bluetooth and detect it as a bluetooth mouse. How can I configure the PI to do this?

> Quant firms for the stock market in the early 90s

False equivalence. The real estate business which Zillow failed is massively capital intensive, whereas figuring out a quant strategy is not necessarily so. In other words, it is very possible to go out of business before a business model is worked out (assuming there is an undiscovered, workable business model).

Investors will not endlessly fund money losers, and Zillow is a huge money loser from both a income and cash flow perspective–a trend that predated their entry into the iBuyer space. Now you might say, the investor appetite for money losing Zillow is bottomless, just look at asset class X, which is totally unproven and yet has insane valuations. To which I would reply, "That is true until it isn't." One common characteristic of all financial bubbles is that its participants claim "this time is different."

Supposing iBuyers do become a significant force in the SFH market, so what? Large companies already participate directly in housing in a massive way. Who do you think built all of these apartments? Also, don't YIMBY's want to eliminate SFH anyway?
My opinion of the problem is one specific type of communication. The guilty parties include both the left and right politically, as well as anyone else with an axe to grind about something.

These people communicate not like they are having a discussion with someone else. They don't just post a link and ask, "can you believe what happened here?"

Instead they post the link and tell you what you should think about it. It isn't a conversation. It isn't even just half the conversation. They are lecturing. It's a behavior that wouldn't happen in person, and if it didn't that person would just be avoided.

When I identified this style of post and blocked these people, the only thing really left that annoys is the clickbait ads.

In short, treat the people on the other side of your messages like friends you are speaking to, not as an audience you are educating on the proper way of doing thinking.
Given some of the podcast interviews, it appears the show-runners don’t actually care about the consistency of the scope of the world they’ve made. They have multi-orders-of-magnitude inconsistencies about the size of the empire in both number of people, number of worlds, and distances. Which can really crash the sense of conflict back into a pure fantasy-land, Star Wars style. Which, generally, Asimov really avoided. And which can undercut the themes that are driven by the grand scope.
