> Moving to the suburbs would find us losing much of that freedom that comes with living in a dense neighborhood.

This does not make sense. Yes, moving to the suburbs and not using a car would lose much of freedom, but it is not how you live in the suburbs...

When you live the suburbs (with a car or multiple cars), you have way more choices to grocery stores, doctor's offices, friends' houses, public parks, lakes, etc.

I will say, if anybody cares a lot about freedom, would want to live in the suburbs. The whole idea of prioritizing walkability is against freedom.

Walkability means limiting choices, not expanding choices. You are basically shrinking the area of 15 min driving distance (radius of eight miles) to the area of 15 min walking distance (radius of three-quarters of a mile). No matter how dense you set in the area of 15 min walking distance, it will never be comparable to the area of 15 min driving distance (around x100 area space).

In addition, you gain more freedom when you live in the suburbs with a backyard and a garage (or a shed in the backyard). You have lots of things you can do (like home lab, wood workshop, etc.) which aren't available to you if you live in a small house or apartment in the city.

If you chose not to own a car, that's a totally separate topic.

It’s not that you as the musician care, but your royalties are part of the overall fee that that broadcaster pays for rights to broadcast the content. Those fees differ based on the region because the broadcaster can make different amounts of money in each region.

A broadcaster in a low GDP country is going to make less in absolute money than in a high GDP country. That translates into lower payouts for the musician.

Something like Netflix where the content creator is also the global broadcaster is different but not all that much so. Netflix will get less in revenue from a subscriber in a low GDP territory and so will want to pay a smaller amount of money (same portion of the local pie) for those views.

You wouldn't want a 110 bunker, you want 4 or 5 30 person bunkers.

The building was roughly 340'x300', if the shelter was in the center the longest inside distance would be 200' but they also had material storage outside, up to 380' away as the crow flies(aka. gonna be longer).

They will be literally running for their lives but Bob is 45 and has been smoking since he was 15. Jim is in a wheelchair.
Oh, I doubt most Googlers believe those things. I'm sure they know they have terrible customer service and support. I would say it's borderline non-existent.

I suspect the rationale is something like "Well, you don't pay for your YouTube account (or don't pay that much) so you shouldn't expect good support or moderation."
If TypeScript becomes the next version of ECMAScript, then browsers will have to support it. The day that TypeScript is supported directly on end-user machines instead of going through a developer-controlled compiler pipeline is the day that almost all evolution of TypeScript stops.

There's not really much positive value out of having browsers run TypeScript natively. The main feature is static checking, but static checking doesn't benefit end users. When I go to my bank's website, if their front-end code has a type error, it's not like I can fix it right then and there.

The type system is mostly a developer-time feature, so it makes sense to leave it out of the core runtime environment.

In other words, think of JavaScript/ECMAScript more like the architecture that browsers support. That needs to be slow-moving since it's deployed across billions of devices. TypeScript then just targets that.

Adding TypeScript directly to JavaScript would improve the world to about the same degree that adding C++ features directly to x64 machine code would.
In the case of Mayfield, some of the answers seem to be:

1. Quite extreme. NWS had been highlighting the potential for a significant outbreak of severe weather for at least a day at that point. My local WFO (KIND) referred to the system’s potential as “exceptionally dangerous,” which is not language that NWS forecasters use haphazardly.

2. Mayfield had over 2.5 hours of warning from KPAH.[0] I’ve noted elsewhere that this tweet wasn’t a formal warning, of course, but it was a strong heads-up that something big was in the offing. At the very least, local emergency managers should have been aware of this and monitoring the situation very closely.

3. The tweets from KPAH regarding the storm and naming Mayfield specifically were pretty strong. Add to this the actual warnings themselves, which were Particularly Dangerous Situation warnings. A Tornado Emergency warning was also issued as it became clear Mayfield was in the crosshairs. Those are the strongest warnings in the NWS’s arsenal.

The first tornado warning on that cell was issued around 6pm CST, and the tornado almost immediately became destructive. Forecasters knew that the cell was entering a convective environment that was highly conducive for the cell to persist and even strengthen. (The various Mesoscale Discussions that the SPC issued for this cell make that clear.) So, between that knowledge and the track that the cell was on, KPAH was able to determine that Mayfield was in serious danger hours beforehand.

So, the possibility at least existed that plant managers could have known what was coming. One question might be what the local emergency management agency did to disseminate these warnings to the community. Most people, unless they’re weather nerds, probably aren’t reading mesoscale discussions from SPC or forecast discussions and tweets from their local WFO. But I’d expect emergency management to be doing so and then making determinations about how to respond to that information.

So, it’s hard to say precisely how much plant managers knew, but it’s possible that they could have known well ahead of time. It’s also possible that they believed it to be more prudent to keep people in the plant rather than sending them home to structures that may well have been much less sturdy.

> It's not really pedantic

I mean, if not pedantic, then perhaps grinding an axe - he said 'there is a lot of Javascript that is getting "downloaded and installed"' as if that has anything to do with the user experience I was referring to

> any application (not just a browser) could provide the same download-interpreted-code-then-run-it functionality

I have never heard of such a platform besides the web. That is why the web became the dominant platform. I do not know what theoretical could've would've should've has to do with the reality of technological evolution

> It's probably not this particular feature of the web browser

... yes, it's not the ease of use that makes users like web, it's that computers in 2021 come with browsers installed that makes users prefer web over bloated desktop applications without good accessibility anyways!

Hi, I haven't asked anybody. But I did wait with SHOW HN until I sold something and had good reviews and feedback.
most people move to hcol areas due to jobs, they don't really have much of a community or family in those areas, so it is an easy decision for many to move away if they could. I myself have lived in dense cities, although i enjoyed the walkability of everything, i also felt myself missing time with nature, to enjoy the peace that life offers etc... and weirdly enough felt more disconnected to humanity living in the midst of a lot of humans.
It is obvious to everyone involved (except, apparently, employees of Alphabet) that YouTube's system for reporting violations and adjudicating them is broken.

I would happily move to using a competitor instead except that between the price point (free or better) and the mass audience, there are no effective competitors.

What can we do about this?
This is why I never look at the comments on ProductHunt.

GNUStep is not a desktop. Try NextSpace (see above) if you want a GNUStep based desktop. NextSpace is a clone of NextStep desktop.

Like its ancestor, NextSpace is fast, light and very consistent. I like the vertical menus that I can move were I need them, the dock in the file manager, the file manager itself, … It is an advanced desktop that hide the difficulties: you don't need to learn, it is logical. It is like macOS, without targeting beginners.
I am a long time KDE user, I know how it works, it is my desktop of choice. But there is still some glitches, and it is a different user experience than NextSpace.
Good point - my wife is hispanic and I've learned Spanish mostly from her. She's quick to correct me when I use a phrase that she uses all the time that men shouldn't (like "que feito", for example).

I have a restrictive whitelist configuration for uMatrix and in most cases I don't bother to whitelist images when I read articles. I've found that the vast majority of the time, the images are stock images that only tangentially relate to the subject of the text and add no real value. I guess they're included because editors feel images are essential even if they're unrelated.
> Do you mind sharing how much?

The current (November 31) valuation of my assets is almost $200k. That isn't counting debts (which are small, but still exist), and that isn't counting the assets or value of my consulting company (which unaudited is around $50k).

I'm hoping to stash away another $150-200k over the next couple of years to really make my retirement last.

But either way, it isn't THAT hard to have a working retirement on < $500k. You aren't rich, but you are financially secure enough to chose what you want to do.

I think it's the hustle of social media to be heard that turns me off. The 'thought leader hustle' feels artificial, manipulative and needy.

I think it comes down to what you hear in this very thread, and often expressed by engineers; marketing and advertising to consumers can feel deceitful.

Business to business marketing is very different. You present your value to customers, they explore, and reach out when ready for more information.

I expect we'll start to see more employees who work in the "USA" for employment tax purposes, but are physically in Thailand or somewhere connected via VPN.

For me, schools are a huge part of this. Zoom schooling has demonstrated how little learning actually happens during a day. Simultaneously, online alternatives have popped up/become popularized, and people are realizing how much more a student can learn through good/personalized remote learning.

Parents who pay tens of thousands of dollars in property tax — largely for access to 'great schools' — are now able to move anywhere they want and access online options that are in many ways better than their tony suburban schools. Many of these parents are allowed to WFH now, which makes moving to rural areas possible, for the first time ever.

I imagine there will be some people who move away, realize the grass isn't always greener, and then move back. But overall I think WFH and remote schooling will unlock regions to a huge pool of families who never previously thought of living away from urban/suburban centers.
This is a bit simplistic. There are a lot of other reasons housing is more expensive in dense urban areas:

Low supply due to underbuilding.

High costs due to difficulty in getting housing approved and forced BMR units.

More expensive land price.

Not needing to own a car saves you money.

And, most importantly, proximity to jobs and services. Living in a dense urban area saves you the time of driving and commuting, and has more amenities, restaurants, and things to do within a given X minutes. Buying time is expensive and a luxury good. This is where a lot of the demand comes from.

The problem is not just subsidization. Urban (especially “ultra-urban” in dense areas like Manhattan, non-suburban SF, central Boston or DC, Brickell, etc) residences have low supply and high demand.
This is a running joke among Japanese language learners, but less of an actual problem than you'd think. The really feminine words (atashi, kashira, ending sentences with wa etc) are trivially avoided, so you end up with neutral/excessively polite/gaijinkusai but not particularly feminine language.

For what it's worth, few foreigners master Japanese to the level where they could convincingly sound like a tough male/gangster, but unless you actually are in the Yakuza, this ability is not particularly useful. Sonai yuun yattara ippen washi no chinpo shabutte miruka?
You put in stores that sell things that the big boxes wont sell. Such as specialized restaurants, vacuum repair shops and so on. You can also put smaller versions of 'big boxes' or other chains in these downtowns, such as chipolte, walgreens, trader joes, "city" target, etc. Downtowns can also have rather large things like movie theaters themselves.
Which of course it doesn't have to be, but the current developers are very hostile to changing anything about the UI, which of course no one today really wants. Providing the old UI as theme for those who want it is fine, but not updating it to something modern and useful is not.

The "4% rule" [1] would recommend pulling out $40,000 each year if you had $1 million. This is the amount you can draw down each year without ever depleting the $1 million. The theory is that after you draw down your $40k, the remaining $960k will grow enough to get you back to $1 million by next year's draw down.

You can still live on $3,333/month, (especially since this person plans to keep working and there is likely some social security after age 67) but wanted to add some context.

Yeah, I agree that an alternative doesn't make sense for RSS in particular, but it's not hard to imagine an only-slightly-more-featureful syndication system where individual feed items are directly addressable.

It's weird how subjective experience can be so different. I live in East San Jose a mile from downtown. I'm very happy with it. I love riding my electric bike around town and my only complaint is that for a supposedly high tech city the traffics lights are not even close to being syncrhonized. I can't related to most of your other complaints.

Your other complaints are complaints you often hear from conservatives about San Francisco. I took my bike on the train to SF not long ago and spotted no feces and smelled no urine as I rode around The City.

Homelessness is a problem in San Jose and SF, but no worse than in many other cities I've been in.

I think that Julia lacks a native tagged enum, which is what rust has. Unions are more akin to a local trait T that you box and implement for all the return types, which is strictly worse. If instead explicit unions were optimized to be tagged enums you could get the big performance gains of rust.

Calling code would, of course, have to destructure the return. But destructures of a return value can be very efficient using match (jump tables internally where possible).
That most people thought was a myth.
JS objects already have runtime types, and you can use them in catch clauses.

try {
…
} catch (e) {
if (e instanceof FooError) {
…
} else if (e instanceof BarError) {
…
} else {
throw e;
}
}

There was once a Mozilla extension (https://web.archive.org/web/20200111091805/https://developer...) that allowed you to abbreviate the above to

try {
…
} catch (e if e instanceof FooError) {
…
} catch (e if e instanceof BarError) {
…
}

It was never standardized, but since it’s just syntactic sugar, if there were demand, it could be standardized without bringing in an entirely new type system.

There would be at least two problems with using TypeScript types for this. Firstly, TypeScript types are unsound in a number of intentional and unintentional ways, meaning that it’s possible for the compile-time and runtime types to disagree, even in fully typed code. Secondly, TypeScript can express many types that cannot be tested at runtime; for example, there is no way to tell whether a function accepts a string as an argument, or to guess the inner type of an empty array.
Bingo. Had they made a better more modern UI, I think it would gain some traction. But they are entirely resistant to updating anything with the UI.
The way that this pricing out happens is often somewhat self inflicted. Refusing to build more housing when more people show up drives up the price of everything.
I am an AI researcher who's interested in how a brain works. Do I want to be your collaborator? No. Why not? For the reasons I stated above. Even if you had a working demo, it's not very likely it would capture my interest - unless it was doing something truly mind-blowing. I've seen a few demos over the years (OpenCOG, Spaun, Numenta's NUPIC, etc) - not impressed so far. And you haven't even bothered to build a demo.

Even if you describe something that's better than IIT, no one would really care, because no one really cares about IIT either. It does not provide any useful or particularly interesting insight into how a brain works. It's a philosophical theory, and I want to see something a lot more practical.

Yes, everyone remembers Moore where a school was hit sometime in the 2000's with fatalities because there was no tornado shelter, and the good citizens of Moore voted against tornado shelters, consequently there were more fatalities when another tornado hit in 2013. It shows that proper building codes and proper code enforcement is needed.
