> neither of those is improved by leaving people to sleep on the street.

Neither is improved by giving them housing. Housing should be modest, and it should be preceded by forced rehab. Instead, in Seattle, for example, they're giving the homeless hotel-style housing without requiring them to get addiction treatment and without a requirement to do anything job-wise. Seattle's King county projects that such valiant (and extremely expensive!) efforts will triple the already sizable homeless population in 10 years, yet they are continuing down this path anyway, just like SF did many years ago. Why? Because it's already a billion dollar industry in the state, and as such it'll continue to metastasize, just like any other government "service".

So solution needs to have 3 parts at least, and part zero should be "forced rehab". Without that no other part will ever work. There needs to be a part about employment in there somewhere for people who are able to work. I don't care that they don't wanna.
Sure, but there are degrees of these things. The GP comment was generic, which does have a bad effect on discussion (it evokes shallower and often nastier things from others), but the comment I replied to took things a few notches further.
In IT boring is good. It translates into stable, long term support, no breaking changes and having a life. Exciting on the other hand does not have any of those.
Bret Victor has ideas. https://youtu.be/8pTEmbeENF4

There is a fundamental tension between “what computers understand how to do” and “the problems that humans are trying to solve with computers.”

Every programming language lies somewhere between one of these two fixed points. The goal of many if not most programmers is to end up with a system that lets you express all of your domain-specific problems as clearly as possible, abstracting away the fiddly bits that you don’t care about.

There’s a lot of stuff that has to exist in order to get to that level, and we neither agree about it nor know all of what it entails for any specific thing. So Domain Specific Languages (DSLs) are often the best that we can do, and they vary wildly in quality.

Some DSLs lend themselves to being visually programmed. They tend to be rare and niche, and incredibly helpful to the people who can use them. Perhaps more is possible, but it requires a foundation to build upon that does not yet universally or even commonly exist, and may never exist.
My thinking is that the tests _have_ to be merged with frontend since they do stuff like "Find the button with the content 'continue' and then click it" There is no such thing as backwards compatible changes to button content but yeah you are right, it would be possible to create backwards compatible API changes but I don't know if it's even worth it since we are the only users of the api, and it is only used for the frontend.
You've overloaded this run on sentence with so many metaphors that I have no idea what you are trying to say.
This is a very HN way of looking at academia. The vast majority of academics aren't looking to be "public", they quietly do great work for decades, passing their knowledge down to their students. You don't hear about them because their main job is to educate not bloviate.

Not saying Graber does this, but there are academics (I can think of a Canadian professor) who are very much "public intellectuals" but whose entire career is popular due to controversy. Is that person educating or is he leading a social movement? I guess that's up for debate, but that's hwy people know who he is, not because of great work.
So you're saying I should put more effort into finding a girlfriend
This is very cool. Perhaps I'll similarly do a writeup of my nerdy marriage trick -- I created custom 3D chocolate bars with our faces on them to hand out to guests. It required a ton of iteration and a lot of chocolate work (which is really hard!), but was really special in the end.

All technology has natural adoption phases. The technical problem becomes better understood. The technical solution is improved. The market problem and solution become better understood and improved, and presented in terms that make sense from a user perspective, and solve their problem. It becomes easier to use, More people adopt it.

Typically runs through several different companies' lifetimes; some would argue the changes are so great, it requires different companies, with different foci and competences, at different phases.
> Make it legal to build homes where people live (looking at you California, specifically LA, SF, SV)

People keep saying this, but it's just a flavor of trickle-down economics. The idea that if we just let developers build out more (sure, yes they should) that then housing prices would drop and cascade down to where homeless people could afford a place to live. That's such a huge stretch, especially in those areas you mentioned, with median home prices over a million dollars, with rental prices to match.

SF had 5190 unsheltered in 2019. That is here the problem to solve: make housing for 5190 people. For reference, the largest shelter in SF --MSC-- houses 340 people. So you "just" need to build the largest shelter again -- 15 times. Basically, take 4-6 city blocks and dedicate them entirely to housing, is what this amounts to.

It probably isn't. Simply because JavaScript has a low barrier to entry and Rust has a high barrier to entry. It would be a bit like saying LISP or Erlang are the future of BASIC or PHP.
And yet Svelte is faster than React in pretty much every benchmark I’ve seen.
If you need to keep the timezone with it, then use an ISO8601 [0] string: "2021-11-11T15:32:35-07:00".

Otherwise, use an integer unix timestamp, the number of seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z: 1636673555. Use an unsigned 32-bit integer or a 64-bit integer to avoid the 2038 problem [1]. JSON's maximum safe integer value is a signed 53-bit integer, so if you're using HTTP JSON RPC, you'll have to check for overflow.

I assumed that his views represented the previous post ww2 world where work, companies, careers were all things to pursue but since this decade I think there's a mismatch as we can indeed see in the great resignation.

Maybe it will push back people to pursue passion, excellency and social bond (I will do things of high value for me and others so we're all happier).
If I may call BS myself: there's a combination of greater opportunity on the coasts and lack of landowner rights, so that it would make sense to work on both at the same time. Make building housing a right that landowners have, and we'll have more homes in areas of greater opportunity. It doesn't have anything to do with protecting someone's right to live on the beach. On the contrary, it's common sense that building more on the coasts has a greater cost-benefit ratio. There's so much more untapped value in our cities, and at least personally I'd prefer to avoid over-developing rural areas. That risks ruining what makes more natural areas unique.

Having read too much history for fun and jobs, the comment sounds wrong. You can go back to the Roman republic to find people concerned about this (Gracchi brothers).
I've never actually been scared of stuff I built before, that's a first (and that doesn't mean that I shouldn't have been scared with other projects, just that I wasn't either because I wasn't aware they were dangerous or simply too absorbed to stop and think about it).

Indeed - why can't anyone explain?
You posted your comment and I posted my reply before we changed the title. It was clearly a snarky and informationless comment, which you shouldn't have posted. A title change doesn't retroactively reverse that.

Of course, if you had posted a substantive comment about homelessness in response to specific things in the article, that would have been fine. That's very much not what you posted.

As for "there is no conversation to be had"—this is the sort of categorical putdown that tends to go along with unsubstantive posts in the first place. Would you mind reviewing the site guidelines? We're looking for curious conversation here, not position-hammering. There's a big difference between those, even if all of your views are 100% correct. Launching straight into a flamewar when the thread is brand new is definitely not the intended use of this site.

I've discovered a similar pattern, when I look at successful projects in my past. I prioritize "working", then "solid", then "fast" where it's needed.

Ironically, it's this principle that makes me look to non-Rust languages; I find that Rust's borrow checker forces us into faster but less flexible patterns up-front, and incurs a lot of refactoring friction later.

It's because of this that I'm interested in the PL space, and excited about upcoming languages like Lobster and Cone.

Most people regardless of politics are simply NIMBY and assume because they haven’t been in the same situation but think they know better, it’s just like Emma/Clueless.

I know people who got section 8 housing and just lazed around, I remember one guy said he moved out to pay himself and I didn’t understand why someone would rationally do that, it’s similar to moving out of your parent’s home. It feels good to work for what you get, our struggles and pain are what drives our personal growth, rather than subsidizing symptoms and masking the problems like being beaten by your husband but the antidepressants and opiates are soothing enough to stay.
I understand economic impact is not the whole story, but the Japanese estimate of all economic losses due to the Hiroshima bombing was 884 million yen, about 1.2 trillion 2021 US dollars, by my calculations. The cost of the war in Pakistan and Afghanistan, which is all of a piece, was about 2.3 trillion USD. One was a $1.2 trillion atrocity; the other is a $2.3 trillion atrocity.

On another note, while Japan has recovered very well — thrived, even — after the impact of two nuclear weapons, the Soviet Union never did fully recover from its Afghanistan debacle, which was part of the background for its eventual collapse. Don't underestimate the undesirability of nuclear attacks or disastrous wars that can neither be won nor gained from.
spot on.

I am from Italy that geographically is not very easy to connect to the rest of Europe because of the Alps.

Still, below a thousand kms train beats flight 100% of the time!

I travel a lot throughput Europe to meet my special other who travels a lot due to her job.

I used to fly to meet her but , pandemic aside, I discovered that traveling by train was a much better option, mainly because you're on the ground and everything works almost like you're not moving at all.

internet connection is hit and miss of course, but compared to the very tight seats on a plane with no internet at all, it seems like a moving office.

Truth is I rarely work on a train, I mainly read, but having the option and the opportunity to book a solitary seat it's such a luxury that I gladly pay the extra money.

Other benefits include: no baggage limit, no early show up routine for no reason, no security or "show your face" checks, no packed up load-in load-out lines, being able to walk away if you need to (a phone call, for example) or because you simply need to stretch a little bit, but my favourite one is night trains where you book a bunk bed, sleep and wake up at the destination. A friend of mine calls it teleportation, you are not traveling between two places, you are waking up in a new place, far from the starting point, without even noticing it.

Trains are a great way to move, especially now that they are so fast.

They aren't cheap in general, that's true, but it's worth it, especially if you compare train fares with low cost offers that are undoubtedly cheaper, but don't even include a real baggage or the option to chose your seat for free (had to pay 6 euros for a seat just two days ago flying from Barcelona)
To me it seems like many industries dominated by multinational companies are clearly not acting in the best interest of their customers. Tobacco, Pharma, Food, Electronics, Fashion to name a few.

I'd be interested to know if you assume the opposite, that companies in general act in the interest of their customers?
This is just like when every organization wanted a sim in SecondLife. They ran political campaigns and public events there. It was what you did 10 years ago for public (metaverse) presence.

I did an internship at a pulp mill that was on the Canada-U.S. border (Canadian side). There was an elementary school literally besides the plant (~50m away).

If there was a release of sulphur dioxide that was going to stay on the Canadian side, the plant management notified the relevant authorities. Sometimes the kids were told not to go outside for recess.

If the SO2 was potentially going to drift over the border, the entire plant was shut down because the U.S. EPA would hit them with millions of dollars in fines.

Was someone talking about ethics and morality?

Note the small print "Of estimated population aged 16 and over"

By this measure we got to about this in Canada a while ago. But the population under 12 remains important for transmission. Before the Ontario gov't stopped publishing stats with a breakdown by age/vax status, the 11 and under grouping was averaging about 7/100k new cases a day, higher than the population-wide average at the time (though a tiny bit lower than the unvaccinated adult population). If you include the under 12s, Ontario is at 77% fully vaccinated; if you don't, it's 88.59%.

Politicians like to throw around the "% of eligible" number because it sounds higher. But there's still a long way to go.
This isn't a massive surprise: Australia has 90-95% uptake rates for every other vaccine, and it was never obvious why COVID would be different. (Apart from the Prime Minister getting involved in drug purchasing. That's usually left to professionals, who don't stuff it up.)

Taiwan Halts 2nd Dose of Pfizer Jabs for 12-17 Year Olds
the author does not get deep into when/what to put into the 'second brain'.

Just like one does not go to the market unless it is not in the pantry, one should not replicate what google can get for you in a second.

So, then, what needs to be in the second brain is more of keywords and categories, so that we can make the google searches more effective for the particular question we have

P.S.: assuming we will always have google/some search engine.

You packed so many swipey phrases into your comment ("nobody knows who the fuck you are", "<some gibberish about google evil here>", "you created this problem for yourself", "the more you respond", "this is some poorly thought out", "you don't understand") that the post came across as something between a harangue and an outright an attack. This is not a good way to communicate respectfully on the internet. (Doubly so in the context of a mass pile-on, which is what this thread became.)

I believe you that you wrote your post in good faith, but intentions aren't enough. All too often, a comment comes out in a way that doesn't at all make its good intent clear, and damaging effects don't become less when the damage is unintentional. Therefore the burden falls on the commenter to disambiguate intent (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...).

I looked into it at one point and it sounded like WASM isn't as fast as native (yet?), and the main benefit would be the ability to run in a browser. That'd be useful for making a web version and I might look into it again, but for now, if I'm already shipping an Electron app, WASM seems like extra hassle with less speed. I might be wrong about this though! Happy to hear if there are benefits I'm missing.
There are a lot of ways for me to be wrong given I’m not a chemist; the point, to misuse a famous quote, is that safety requires me to be wrong about every concern and danger only needs you to be wrong once. So far we’ve not got enough stuff for any hazards in any of the components to rise to the level of significance, and indeed they may just be fine even at the level we need to use them; but in the 1930s I think I could say the same of CFCs?

Scale matters, and while I’m optimistic about batteries etc., I want us to solve problems rather than ignore them — we can only do that by being open about them, and I’ve seen enough occasions where others have claimed risks “don’t exist at all” to be more comfortable with a claim of “1% risk” than of “0% risk”.
