There will always be people you can't rehabilitate, but we know there are lots of people who are only homeless because they got priced out or their house burned down or they got laid off. Those people definitely can be helped.
I remember watching the inauguration on TV in my junior high auditorium and they interrupted the inauguration coverage to announce the release of the hostages.

I liked his premise. It's a good idea, appeal to the people who aren't voting.
Reagan was a master at speaking to the public. It makes sense when you consider that he was an actor. But it's hard to really understand unless you've watch him in action.

You can do a similar thing with discriminated unions in TS, with some caveats mainly around ergonomics. You can even get exhaustiveness checking with a little trickery

Edit, example of exhaustiveness checking:

switch(obj.kind) {
case "one": return ...
case "two": return ...
case "three": return ...
default:
// @ts-expect-error
throw Error("Didn't cover " + obj.kind)
}

This will actually err at compile time if you missed a case, because otherwise obj.kind will have type "never", which will cause a type error on that line, which will be expected due to the directive comment. If obj.kind is not "never", the code will not have an error, and so the directive will cause an error.

...it is definitely preferable having language-level support for this stuff though.
You must not be aware that CTRL-U is the secret h4x0r backdoor key for "unencrypt".
Ah, that's not so bad I guess. Though I'm still curious how it would hold up to a multiply-sized texture cache.

Help me understand this feature. How does it differ from a discriminated union of object types? (I might be completely misunderstanding the feature you’re raising)
The silver lining with those dysfunctional ones, though, is that if you can clearly identify the issue your voice can probably carry enough weight (even as a new hire) to spur them to re-evaluate their process.
A Republican just won an election in Seattle City Government for the first time in three decades. This election has seen some big shifts in the electorate, even in some deeply-Democratic areas.

NHF, but I must ask:

Are you a GNOME developer?
I’ve posted links before, but SF publishes a regular homeless census. It includes information about mental health, substance abuse and what locale the person became homeless in. This data clearly shows that most homeless people in SF are not choosing to engage in extreme anti-social behavior. Rather what’s happening is you’re noticing the worst cases, and extrapolating that to people such as a single mother working as security guard at night living in an RV.
Mandating drug rehab and mental health programs requires actually having good ones to offer, which is not something the US can really do right now. It's not a bad idea on paper.

"Rehab" in the US can look like unpaid forced labor, using up time and energy that the homeless person could instead be using to earn money to get themselves into a better situation: https://www.law360.com/articles/1311467/all-work-and-no-pay-...

Many homeless people are already working 2-3 jobs to try and earn enough money to get off the street, so mandating they spend a bunch of time and energy on shoddy programs would be sabotaging their progress.

As someone who's benefited from access to adequate (but not great) mental health care through my employer's insurance, I definitely think it could help. But I sincerely doubt the qualifications of most of the organizations and people who want to force "mental health" on homeless people who are already struggling.
3 hours comes from averaging the daily power generation my Victron MPPT reports. I’m using a 200 watt panel and it reports and average of 600Wh since I set it up a month ago.
The thpical lifetime of a CD or DVD or BlueRay is about 3-5 years depending on the handling by the user. I'd like to see them outline the claim that this media can last "billions" of years. It sounds highly suspect, as does all the other claims in the article.
It's not the case in Dashlane at least. If you share a password with "full rights", all users have the same access to the password, and can cut off the others at any time.
A full bus sounds like a great problem to have. Imagine if every single person in that bus decided to take a 4 seater car to their destination instead.

Isn't it sort of like the dead sea effect? People that are mentally stable, hard working, but down on their luck will eventually get out. People that are mentally unstable get trapped in drug cycles and stay homeless forever. So type 1 would be more temporary homelessness while type 2 more permanent homelessness.
I had a team and project I really enjoyed for 4 years, then poof it was all gone when the executive team decided to buy a competitor and scrap our team. You never know what might happen!
How do I set up TOTP with Google? As far as I can tell, you first have to give them a mobile phone number and configure 2FA with that. Once it is configured, you can then change it to TOTP and remove your phone number. But I don't want to give Google my phone number in the first place.
We should just go a step further and hand out oxy or percs to addicts for free.

The pills are incredibly cheap to manufacture.

A few things would happen if we started handing out opiods for free:

* petty crime would decrease -- it's not the drug that causes the crime, it's trying to pay for the drug

* organized crime would decrease -- moving opiods is a lucrative operation, and our addicts are bankrolling very bad people by doing business with them

* users would get clean product -- opiods laced with fentanyl are a huge problem and responsible for the majority of hospitalizations and overdose deaths

* more users could hold stable employment and rehabilitate themselves -- i've known plenty of opiods addicts, but you'd never know they had a problem, because they were all rich tech workers that were not stealing to satisfy their addiction

* most injection users would be pill users if it wasn't so expensive -- giving them free pills would encourage a less risky route of administration and decrease sepsis cases

If we still have a homeless problem after that, communal housing outside of the city with free drugs might be enough to get them to relocate to where they're not a problem and in considerably less danger.

But then I remember that we live in a god-fearing christian nation, where drugs are bad and addicts should be shunned, so my plan probably won't work.
You would? So you aren't paying your fair share of taxes now? How much would be fair to solve this problem then?
Keep in mind that at any large company people's experiences will vary from team to team. I can read reviews about my job where people make it out to be the worst place on earth. Yet I think it's quite cushy and don't really have anything bad to say about it.

There's rarely going to be one company that is great to work for all around unless they're small to medium sized.

That looks pretty much equivalent, and they even have a version where F = E + B, just like in the youtube video. But my question is if this F, or the tensor version for that matter, has any physical meaning?
Probably it doesn't help that political leaders all over the world wear masks only for photo shoots. Internet is full of videos how they take masks off the second after shoot is over.

People rightfully consider this to be a hypocrisy.
Doubtful, but there is TypescriptToLua: https://typescripttolua.github.io/

> how did he pay for things like the video ads linked below

Watch his ad:

https://twitter.com/kerpen/status/1455899165230354448?s=20

The "ad" looks like it could have been easily created on an old phone. It's a very basic ad, nothing special. Look at his twitter feed. The campaign material all looks very basic like it was created by his kids or someone. (Not saying that's a bad thing - I kinda like it as it looks more grassroots).

https://twitter.com/edwarddurr1/status/1418710865625354240

And based on archive, the day before election, his twitter only had 1556 followers meaning he didn't do any "online" reach out.

https://web.archive.org/web/20211101185415/https://twitter.c...

Also notice the top header photo on his archive twitter. It's just a stock photo with watermark still on the pic. Looks like an extremely lean campaign.

In a past interview from August, he stated:

> “Well, I’m a numbers guy and I’ve looked at the numbers over the years,” Durr said in an August interview conservative commentator Elizabeth Nader. “We have a district that is 150,00 voters. Senator Sweeney has never broken 32,000 votes …. and so I felt if he can’t even get half the district, that means there’s numbers out there to be taken, and you just have to get people to come out and vote. I believe if they come out and vote, we could win,” Sweeney said.

Reaching out and getting 20% to vote isn't that hard in a 150k size. So this looks like simply approaching maybe a few thousand families and houses and asking them to vote for him.
Wow, impressive, I had no idea the scripting capability was quite so deep. I’ll be reading up on this some more, many thanks for the great post and all the links!
That’s a terrific analogy. And it’s one that a jury will relate to. Sadly, if it goes to court, the poor guy’s lawyer is gonna have to spend a lot of time explaining how the State’s servers were sending this information in clear text to everyone who requested the page, refuting the false equivalence that the prosecution will make between “hacking” and “view source->decode to ASCII”.
In Norway you could do worse than working for Entur (I'm work as a consultant there and they are amazing, they are hiring, but I prefer being a consultant.)

Edit after rereading: since you ask were we work, self promotion seems to be OK with you. I work in Computas. We are employee owned and in 4.5 years I have not had to deal with a single jerk. That feels quite amazing given what I'm used to.
IDK about 20k people companies, but they can have drastic influence into 2k companies.
The “build more housing” coalition has been winning this argument for at least 7 years. Are you under the impression that mayors haven’t been green lighting more housing and small housing pop ups? Do you think government officials have yet to implement your plan? They are building more affordable housing and yet the problem is getting worse. I drive my kids to school on the LA freeways and have seen countless people under freeway on ramps and in tent cities next to freeways shoot up drugs or stumble around, obviously high on drugs. The scope of the problem has become shocking recently. Huge trash encampments bedside every freeway. It’s not rocket science. Drive through LA, drive through San Fran. Even the main image on the linked article shows a guy who clearly shows the effects of drug abuse. If it were a drug crisis, what would the solutions be? At least try to implement those and see where it gets us instead of deny the scope of the drug abuse effect because it has a moral component.
In theory it's possible for TX to split into 5 states.

Can confirm, my Presonus Audiobox works well enough and passes through just fine to the windows VM I use for AV stuff. Still needed another amp though.
Sometimes they would. But most of the time, they didn't.
I just skimmed very briefly, and the above link seems to just be defining terms and establishing a model of homelessness. Part 2[0] has the first part of the plan, "mitigation", which seems to boil down to add a bunch of prefab structures as homeless shelters.

Part 3[1] is the next step, "prevention": rental assistance, eviction defense (already exists, but underfunded), and informing residents of the programs. And add more housing

Part 4 is supposed to be "treatment", but I don't think it's posted yet.

The secret ballot is normally considered a cornerstone of democracy. Mail in voting completely destroys that. In my jaded perspective, that’s exactly why certain people and organizations love it so much.

>I can build new fun things with the machine? Overly-engineered birdhouses maybe?

I don’t have space for a workshop. I live in an apartment. So I’m pretty limited in the sorts of materials and tools I can use. 20mm of wood is probably quite useful. My table top and shelves aren’t 20mm thick. If this can go through MDF I’d say it’s really useful.
Intentionally inefficient. I’ve seen a number of my customers doing this pattern, working with ~10 meg JSON for the model layer.

Inefficient but not unrealistic outside of FAANG.
FWIW, our standard recommended Redux usage patterns for the last couple years have specifically _not_ needed switch statements to determine how to handle an action, because our official Redux Toolkit package has a `createSlice` API that lets you define case reducers as simple functions in an object. `createSlice` then generates all the action types internally, generates corresponding action creator functions, and handles calling the right case reducer when that action is dispatched.

Additionally, RTK has been designed to work great with TypeScript. Typically all you need to declare is the type of the state for that slice, and the payload for each reducer's action, and everything else is inferred.

See our Redux docs tutorials for details:

> What we have instead is identity politics,

I'd say that this is a glib simplification that conveys almost no information about the actual state of US politics at any level.
OMG! New Jersey is going to be like a timeshare... some people are going to be stuck or have to pay someone to take their house. Hopefully they'll be able to get away from tax obligations though by letting the government take their property to pay the ungodly property taxes! I always thought Illinois was bad... "Hold my beer." - New Jersey
>There are clearly two distinct things going on and they likely have two totally different solutions. If media and politicians keep communicating as if there is only one problem, despite what our ears and eyes tell us every single day, then this will continue to get worse and the outcome will likely be the same as the 'defund the police' movement-- a voter referendum that says 'enough of this nonsense'.

The establishment's failure to humanely deal with the problem is making a non-humane solution inevitable. I'm not sure anyone wants that, but sooner or later a plurality will be willing and eager to look the other way.
I mean we'll still be talking after Slack is gone. Sometimes you want to establish a ritual that will outlast everything, including that switch from Slack to Teams because corporate reasons.
> We can’t begin to solve homelessness without building more housing.

Yes we need to build more housing. But ... there are more vacant units in the city than there are homeless. The most recent ACS stats said there were >40k vacant units in the city. Meanwhile, the city was willing to pay $60k/yr per _tent site_ in safe sleeping site parking lots.

Almost certainly in reality we will need to build more housing. But there's enough money being poorly spent that honestly we could afford to solve the _housing_ portion of it by putting people in 1BD apartments. We _choose_ not to, and this reveals our preferences if not our values.

The revealed preference is, we'd _rather_ have homeless people sleep in parking lots at $5k/mo per tent than pay for an apartment at $3k/mo. We'd rather live in a society where property rights are respected than one where housing is considered a right (as in the state of NY). And we'd rather move the problem around continually than solve it.

You can blame Robert Moses for that. Everyone that lives in NYC or NJ (or LI) should "The Power Broker" by Robert Caro and you will be blown away.

He despised public transportation (because he never learned to drive, he always had a driver) .He actively designed bridges (over highways) to be purposely low so that the highways could not have bus lanes. When he was building the highways and bridges, he knew that the solution was to combine them with subway lines to reduce traffic congestion but refused to because he was so arrogant and power hungry. His solution was always to widen existing highways or build more highways, and public transportation ridership went from very high in the 1920s to very low in the 1950s/60s.

He did build a lot of stuff, but you could argue that NYC in 2021 is a worse place because of it -- and you really could argue that if you had grandparents (or great-grandparents) that were evicted by his housing policies or construction projects.
Well, at least you got the "crackpot" part right :)
Wouldn't it be great if that "dialogue" encompassed the broad disapproval as expressed here.
Note how it says: "match the performance of the LuaJIT interpreter" (emphasis mine).
LuaJIT basically has two parts: an interpreter in handcrafted assembly which is quite a bit faster than the standard Lua VM, and the actual JIT, which is even faster. IIRC on iOS the JIT is not allowed but the interpreter is still there.
I don't see how you can consider it 'painting a cartoon villain' when it's acknowledging a shitty reality through the lens if objectivity. There really are people doing those things. Commonly. I'd visit SF maybe once a month when I lived out there, and seeing people do all of those things on any given visit was a coin flip.

Also, you are right, people are very often victims of their environment. A component of that environment is the ease of doing bad things. If you treat people who do bad things as victims, that makes doing bad things easier. You have to balance compassion with consequences. One without will fail.
Yes. But why would that be? Because the two main parties are more of cartel? And less like true competition?
> Funny thing about that: if you want them to be scaled correctly based on different factors for each monitor, then you need a compositor...

No, you don't. And using a naive compositor is liable to make things blurry compared to the direct approach (the application requests the physical dpi for its current location and changes its vector drawing).
Unless all houses will tend to start at 504.000 in amsterdam from now on?
The statement about booleans is a total fallacy. In real life, this MAY be the case for some cases (to introduce a bug in some combinations), and totally harmless for other cases. It depends on the context.

Even then, you cannot make the omelet if you don't break the eggs.

That said, GNOME is one nice whole egg.
Home Depot IT, surprisingly enough.

Out of all the companies I've worked at, it was a surprisingly refreshing experience. I didn't know a company could be that big and that entrepreneurial at the same time.
I work with school districts and there are these companies. And they are absolutely atrocious. And they make it difficult to transfer. So schools are somewhat stuck in the old way. Literally every district level person hates the software, but they can't change it.
Many things are possible, but I might not like doing them. It's totally fine for someone to not want cars and not use them. But it's too far to say nobody should be using them, no matter what. Not implying you said that (I know you just commented on the "unrealistic" part), but just referring to the general theme here.

I personally love driving. Since I was a kid, I always wanted to drive cars and even now, I enjoy the feeling of driving a car. One can argue about whether it's the best mode of transport, etc. but for me (and many like me), it's a pleasure of life.

Let's try to stop people from carrying assault weapons before we move to cars?
That's what union types are.

Actually, in practice I find TS union types much more useful than Rust enums, because you can mix and match options in different combinations freely. In Rust, you can't use one of the enum variants as a type on it's own, and I had to tediously create a lot of wrapper types that I didn't in TS.
We’re also certified for similar reasons. It did bring information security more in the focus of upper management, so that’s a plus. I for the time for backup encryption, getting rid of outdated servers (fuck Arch Linux, really), and everyone now has a monitored laptop, and got a info sec training.
