>I cannot imagine living 9 months of my life in a room with no actual window.

Why would you be spending a literal nine months of year in your little windowless dorm bedroom, though? Were you a shut-in in college? The whole point is you sleep there, maybe occasionally get a little privacy there, and otherwise live your life in the rooms that do have windows. Or alternately, venture outside occasionally.

I understand why people want a window, but people make this out to be hell on earth or something.
I feel the same way. I just get stuck on trying to understand what actual problem Angular is trying to solve. Like, ok, it's a framework but... a framework for what? Webapps? Javascript is a "framework" for webapps, too.

When I first saw jQuery, I could understand the appeal, but Angular just seems like a lot of extra code for the sake of having extra code. (Like Spring...)

> The work started at the end of November 2020, just days after Stockholm’s Board of Education was hit with a 4 million SEK ($456,658) GDPR fine for “serious shortcomings” in the Skolplattform. Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten, Sweden’s data regulator, had found serious flaws in the platform that had exposed the data of hundreds of thousands of parents, children, and teachers. In some cases, people’s personal information could be accessed from Google searches. (The flaws have since been fixed and the fine reduced on appeal.)

$400K sounds like nothing when it comes to something this serious, but then the fine also got reduced? Reduced to what I wonder, and for what?

> Walkability demands density, and density intrinsically is encouraged by smaller units.

You can have sizeable homes even in walkable neighbourhoods. Look at any suburb constructed pre-WW2:

You still have a (back)yard and can have a garage attached to a laneway. Just up the street there are more modestly sized houses (3 bedrooms usually):

So instead of attempting to deliver cheaper dense housing for 5000 students close to campus, we should make a windowed one that houses 3000 and tell the other 2000 to go to Sacramento and start lobbying for new state laws? Or do we instead try to get solutions at multiple scopes and not let perfect be the enemy of good.
when money is a justification for a bad and unhealthy life, then maybe our model is just not the one we need?

Yup. I’ve lived in a few dense cities in Asia and when I told people I owned a house in the US with its own yard that cost less than their 50 m^2 apartment in a block of 150 units they were shocked.

Plus most of bought cars if they could, especially families.

Most of the compromises on size of housing were due to affordability, not choice.

The authors of React Router are developing a framework for React called remix[0]. It's not available yet, but it will be soon and it will be open source.

Remix will certainly use react-router and I expect it to be similar to NextJS but better. My expectation is Remix will blow NextJS out of the water and become the defacto starting point like how NextJS is today.

If your API allows data extraction, it probably isn't a fault of any client. Perhaps they meant that creators could steal credentials. A problem with any software.

I think this digital child managing system sounds moderately dystopian to be honest. I would have hated to give my parents access to anything like this. Kids will of course learn from how their parents behave...

An open API is a must in my opinion, but the rest of the App should be open source too.

That said, I don't really see the Swedish strategy as a model for other countries to follow. You don't need to give children chromebooks to learn. These are skills they have already mastered far better than their parents. They will learn about domain specific apps and there are indeed some really good ones, but such platform can also limit creativity because they are essentially sandpits. Depending on age that might be appropriate, but kids may have greater ambitions than their parents.

Could you go into more detail on why you think this?
I’ve been very happy with Ubiquiti’s Unifi Protect doorbell. It does mean having to buy into their whole ecosystem, but I was already most of the way there when I added the doorbell and a couple 4k cameras.

Recording to a local device does mean you have to consider things like power/network outages if you want remote access and recording to continue during those events. I’ve got all my network gear and the doorbell transformer running off a UPS to cover the time between a power outage and my whole-home generator kicking in. I’ve also got an LTE modem to fail over to on my Dream Machine Pro (Router/network controller/video storage).
Not OP but feel the same way as OP... I can use Angular just fine, it just feels like I'm working around the Angular part trying to get down to the actual stuff I'm trying to program.

"I don’t get why housing should be a special carve-out "

Capital and leverage.

Wealthy and access to capital can build, rent and make giant returns.

Students paying off debt cannot even get the minimum down payment.

If everyone rented, and, if transition costs were very simple i.e. you could 'jump homes with ease' - then this would be less of a problem.

Also I would add stability. A government job which can be had for life, they will get a mortgage. A private sector worker or freelancer, may have blips in income, a bad blip means no mortgage payment which is very bad.

The consistency required for 25 years of paying off something lends power to the entrenched kinds of workers.
I'm relatively young and for me Emacs isn't a fossil just because there isn't a better alternative I've found for taking notes than Org mode. This is especially true if you want to embed LaTeX or code into your notes (and even execute it).

As I've gotten into learning Lisp and using Magit occasionally I can't think of a an editor that's more versatile in its extensibility or offers a Git interface on Magit's level (although I still mostly use command line).

I did rebind a lot of stuff to more common shortcuts, with the exception of C-c just because it was too much work.

This may be more of an argument for Emacs as a general editor than IDE specifically however.
Why not?

Seriously, what is your proposal for how it should work? Presumably the people renting the housing would have bought it themselves if they had the financial resources to do so (unless they just like having housing with no real downside investment risk).

So what would they do without a landlord? If the builders didn't have people to sell the property to, they wouldn't build them and the housing just wouldn't exist.

This sounds like it's not written by an actual Emacs user... and the fact that I can tell points to the real fundamental problem of Emacs: it's not a text editor but the real thing it is is so complicated it finds it easier to market itself as a mere text editor.

What is Emacs really? It's a virtual Lisp machine with a standard library for writing graphical text applications. It's more like the JVM than like Notepad.

It just happens to come bundled with a text editor (and a file manager, and a calculator, etc) as example applications. You're free to install a better text editor than the bundled example, and many people to (see the popularity of Evil, for example).

But of course, this is a much more complicated point in space to sit in, so Emacs markets itself primarily as a text editor and we get confusion like yours as a result.

Not at all. Get outside the big cities and houses are very affordable. We’re talking 120m^2 homes for under $200k.
I don't have experience with video doorbells, but a pattern I use to find IoT devices is look at the Home Assistant integrations[1] for moderately open APIs, then drill down into each product to find one with "Local Polling" or "Local Push" for the classification, which means you can communicate with the device over LAN instead of only via cloud. More on that here[2]. Currently the only listed doorbell with a local option is DoorBird[3]. Note it's not exhaustive as I know there's at least one product I have that could be Local Polling but the current implementation is Cloud Polling.

I had an epiphany about personal energy a while ago that came from self-reflection, reading philosophy (stoicism in particular), and exploring mindfulness. And it's formed a big part of my personal philosophy. I will share in hopes it is useful to others.

I realized that I was waiting to have energy before doing something. Blaming my lack of action on a lack of energy.

But energy -- of the vim and vigor variety -- is not a tank that you must fill before you can use it. It's a choice. It is in fact _created by action_. It's getting up and making things happen even when your tank is empty.

And this doesn't happen by shaming yourself or hating yourself for not being that person. It happens by choosing to be that person. It happens by making that part of your identity.

So no, there is no magic pill. No external thing that will turn you into that energizer bunny type who seems unstoppable. Other than the realization that you choose who you are every moment. So why wouldn't you be the best version of yourself that you can be?

Yes, of course, exercise, eat healthy, drink in moderation, get enough sleep, and manage your stress. All of those help. In fact they're all part of the same choice of who you want to be.

You are not your situation, your possessions, your achievements, or your past. You are your choices and your actions in the present. Think about the kind of person you admire -- their qualities and their actions. Then _be that person_. Choose to make that a core part of your identity. Not your past choices or your past actions, but who you are _right now_.

Realizing this and making that choice may be one of the most energizing moments of your life. It's free and available to everyone. No prescription required.

It is a little crazy. I live in a pretty little New England village that is very walkable and has a functioning two-block downtown (real grocery stores, banks, pharmacy, etc with 2nd and 3rd floor apartments).

The crazy thing is the current town zoning would not allow for most of the existing small lot residential and all of the downtown commercial properties to be built now due to minimum lot sizes and parking requirements.

We already have a hole in the middle of downtown due to a couple of local part time real estate investors buying the one eyesore and having to tear it down as it was literally falling down and then not being allowed to rebuild on the same footprint because of the need for 1 car parking space per bedroom for their upper floor apartments.

I see the need for some zoning but enacting laws that directly prevent the thing that everyone that lives here loves about the town is crazy.

It’s funny that you bring up cargo-culting because I find the unflinchingly rigid rule of “const for everything unless the code requires a let/var” to be cargo-cultish. I think it’s proponents vastly overestimate the value that you get out of it. In FE dev mutability is typically an issue at the app state level, and that’s not something you fix with const. It also doesn’t stop objects from being modified, and you shouldn’t make assumptions about what the underlying JS engine does with it as that can change.

Take the code in this article as an example. What danger can there possibly be with using a let when iterating over the set of characters in a word? The inside of the for loop is two lines long. The extra information that using const provides to whoever maintains this code is negligible. Using a const doesn’t hurt, but that level of nitpicking it doesn’t add much value whether in this thread or in code reviews.
Okay, so we make a windowed building that houses 1000+ fewer students and those 1000 are just left to the wolves, paying more elsewhere or joining the depressing ranks of the UC homeless? I’m not thinking ideally, I’m recognizing that the real world has real opportunity costs to every decision and nothing happens in a vacuum. I hate the CA real estate situation as much as anyone but short-term solutions have to be realistic and long-term ones… may never happen.
There’s a great macOS app called Charles Proxy that you can use to inspect this sort of thing which is a little quicker to get going and use than the CLI equivalent (mitmproxy I think it’s called).
And just above you there is another, presumably competent and experienced developer, giving exactly the opposite advice.
Yes more supply would make it cheaper for the people in the niche that wants that type of house. The writer hints at this but the penny doesn’t drop. It’s most likely that maybe he doesn’t understand the middle and working class market as well as the entire home building industry of America.

Regular people need schools, offices, shops etc which need a level of scale to operate efficiently. That is going to counter the type of atmosphere and lifestyle in the towns the writer talks about. In the UK where small houses and towns are abundant, the quaint shops go where the money is and the rest of sit in traffic to drive in and out of town to go to school and work.
> the family have decided

Think very carefully here. If you want a video doorbell, your personal requirements are very different from the requirements that your family has.

I'm very happy with my Nest doorbell, but to be quite honest, the only "privacy" thing I did was tell all my neighbors who are within view of the camera. If / when there are concerns, I'll disconnect it. (Frankly, my neighbors just laughed and then put in video doorbells pointing at my house.)

Assuming your family are average people who aren't excited about hacking and tinkering, it's not worth pushing a homegrown or niche solution on them unless it's brain-dead easy to use.
Yes, but you can make the US far more walkable without crushing home size by changing setback rules for homes and businesses and having mixed zoning. A major problem now is just the amount of space between things. Want to walk from one store to the other? Better cross two massive parking lots. Want to walk past six houses? Better cross some huge lawns. Want to walk between residential and business zoned locations? Fat chance.

Yes, a city constructed this way won't be as walkable as a European city. But it'd be a hell of a lot more walkable than existing suburban sprawl.
How a person perceives themselves, and how other people perceive them, those can be two quite different things. I agree that women are more qualified to talk about the former, but the latter is also interesting.

Because nobody knows how to pronounce it, for one. Is it /libre/ (Standard Spanish) or /libʁə/ (Standard French) or /libχ/ (Northern French, esp. Parisian) or /la͡ɪbɚ/ (RP import) or /la͡ɪbɛɹ/ (GA import) or /libɹe/ (GA Spanish import)?

But that's a symptom of a different pair of issues, namely: (1) it's ambiguous what language the word is in, and (2) neither of those languages are really tech field lingua francas (English, Russian, maybe Hindi, probably in that order).
According to a number of other comments on here, it also has many more windows.

It's also grad student housing, which means students actually have some measure of choice in it, rather than just being assigned to live there when they arrive as a first-year.

The three unknowns of the modern ad age
> The role of investors in the economy is ultimately to finance new development. ===> False. The role of investors is to make money.

No. The market pays investors if they managed to allocate capital well, and takes away their money if they happened to misallocate it. The investors take on a risk of loosing their money if their investment goes bad. This is how capitalism is so successful. Investors who make good decisions grow richer and that allows them make more good decisions on how to allocate capital, creating a positive feedback loop. Investors who make bad decisions go broke and that prevents them from misallocating any more capital.

> If you build more, rents will go down. ===> In theory True. In practice self builds lower the pricing. The barriers set by bureaucracy for the sake of bureaucracy are the problem and they cause property prices to go up. EDIT: Restrictions set by bureaucracy is what creates artificial scarcity(think diamonds market)

I'm all for small government and cutting down on bureaucracy.

> As a sidenote(IMHO): Ideally, property ownership should be limited to 1/+18 year old to prevent/reduce speculations. Maybe 2 if we're talking about adding a holiday home(yeah. I know it's a strech). Companies should not be alowed to own residential properties unless they are a developer. In that case, they can own the newly developed properties for up to ?5? years.

That's exactly the kind of regulation that prevents efficient capital allocation and leads to increased pricing.
