Yea, that's fine, but San Francisco is still a nice city.

You are minutes away from the beach, and mountains.

A lot of the jobs are union.

I've been to a lot of cities, and none compare to SF.

As to the homeless. It's everywhere. America is not what it used to be. I don't care where I go--there's a homeless problem.

The police force needs an enema though. I would like to see a top down firing. It's been terrible for years. They need social workers instead of harassment, They need to lower ridiculous traffic fines though, but every town has been slowly raising fees/fines. I would like to see all nepotism in city hiring stopped.

San Francisco is going nowhere. It will just get more popular once the Covid problem is abated.

Oh yea, if you are a SF resident, and have a sick pet, you will never find a more reasonable vet than their SPCA.
Yup, other compositors might not have this limitation. I might one day switch to sway, but currently staying with Gnome, cause it'd take a couple of days to get used to it I suppose.

BTW, gnome-shell supports so called compositor bypass for windows which request it (and games which I play request it via probably libSDL) - more on that here https://specifications.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/wm-spec-lates... - but I still wonder what kind of visual delay I'm getting with gnome-shell vs e.g. sway.

My understanding is that with _NET_WM_BYPASS_COMPOSITOR it should be the same (vs non-compositing window manager), but the devil is in the details.

I like gnome-flashback/metacity (non-compositing WM), but there are some strange quirks of it, which make me avoid using it on my 21:9 monitor.
All of the things you said are true for me, as well--as if I wrote it myself--but I drew a different conclusion: I don't think I have any form of it. I think we are seeing things in our mind's eye, for sure. Is it totally in focus, detailed, etc? No. But it's there. It's an image. It has a color. I didn't memorize the color of sunsets, I can---see them? Imagine them?

I never made a distinction between them before, before these discussions made me really think about it.
There isn't really a reason for this to not be done on Xorg too, aside from having the window manager keep track of per-monitor scaling information (note that scaling, physical size and DPI do not have to be tied - someone may want to use a big scale for a low DPI monitor because they have it across the room for example, what really matters is a per-monitor scaling factor - DPI can be used to set up some sane defaults but this should be overridable) and pass it to applications to scale themselves with a fallback if the application doesn't support scaling (be it client-side composition or server-side composition, though the latter will also need merging Keith Packard's patch that implements composition-based server side window scaling)... and someone to specify the messages/events involved.

But really almost all the tech exists (aside from server side scaling, but this can be ignored for an initial implementation) and toolkits (or at least Qt and perhaps Gtk) should already support this as Windows scaling works in a similar way, it is largely getting a bunch of different projects to play nice together.
Oh yes, definitely, I didn't mean that MathML was a nefarious corporate plot. Just that there's a tension between pragmatists and idealists: in this case those who just want to put math on the web for the common case in any way at all (images, MathJax, whatever works), and those who think/thought that semantics should be encoded, just as you said. (That's what the page I linked says too: "There was a danger during the 1990s that a standard would emerge for mathematical representation on the web that would be based on a TeX[…]-like typesetting language. This would have been disastrous […] To head off this possibility, Wolfram Research and Neil Soiffer decided to do everything they could to […]" etc.)

This tension has played out a few times in practice, e.g. when Wikipedia removed the (added in 2012) MathJax option and went back to images-only (2016? https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T99369) based to a large extent on arguments from people who are (still) MathML proponents (which I understand Wolfram may not be any more) — at least some of them are "semantic" advocates who believe in "structured" math input rather than "presentation" markup. So there's some conflict there.

(Anyway, this is all historical and unrelated to Wolfram Cloud.)
isn't it just obvious? We have to make decisions. Each decision is made (consciously or subconsciously) by weighing up the predicted outcome according to a set of values. Those values inevitably conflict, so they have in turn to be judged by a yet higher value. And so on until there is a top value.

You might think that some people change their values on a whim, but that in fact shows that something like their Self is their top value.

Unless our behaviour was completely random, I don't know how this could be any other way.

If you insist on a citation, I'll refer to St Augustine. Here's a popular culture level article about it https://www.huffpost.com/entry/augustine-sin-quote_n_56980d5...
I did the same while staying 1 hour away from SF. I visit SF once every other week to meet with friends, and that's enough of the city for me.
I agree. I don't understand why the designers wouldn't want the language to be expressive. Wouldn't it be better to have an expressive language with conventions than one that's as rigid as it is today?
It would be awesome if SF felt like a safe place, I wonder how long it will take?

It isn't hidden. Dang made a whole thread about it not long ago[0].

Unfortunately this forum's minimalist design and ethos means that such things inevitably go unnoticed unless you happen to have been in the one thread where it was announced.

I do wish they would resort it by ascending number of comments, so stories with the least number of comments are on top, and automatically remove stories from the pool once they have traction.

You could give ZeroHedge an honest try.

There is a certain stigma associated with ZH, but I find the articles well researched, containing in-depth analysis, many times with references to the original sources.

What helps to overcome the stigma, is that I see the articles as essays with opinions, rather than single source of truth.

Mostly important for me is that ZH is relevant and ahead of time of other MSM, in terms of global events.
Despite the dubious "tech exodus" there are still a lot of insanely wealthy people in this city. One recent example being a house in a not-particularly-desirable neighborhood selling for $1million over asking price:

FTR: my opinion that its bullshit is based on an a lack of plausible usecases (other than the original bitcoin as a currency one).

However so far i haven't seen anything to convince me otherwise.

It's not a GNOME project. You've even listed one DE that supports it and has nothing to do with GNOME. It's just that KDE is late to the party and it's now scrambling to polish their Wayland support for the next 5.24 release, also thanks to Valve sponsoring part of the effort for the Steam Deck.

I think Qt supports it in some quirky way. It supports this DPI notation of something like

QT_DPI="192;128"

via envvars. But it only means that when moving window to another monitor the window will get suddenly re-scaled/re-sized, instead of being smoothly drawn using different scaling factor.
Lots of cities have had remote workers leave, permanently or temporarily, for obvious reasons. Is there anything showing that SF is somehow worse?

What I do believe I see is a strong relationship between reactionary/GOP political messaging and what is repeated about cities. The Republican National Convention's focus was the 'chaos' in cities, IIRC, though few noticed because other issues dominated. Reactionary messaging seems inredibly effective; whatever they say, people of all stripes are soon repeating. The emotionally intense, repetitive style also seems to match it - I don't see many reasoned arguments.

It can absolutely be self-fulfilling. Perception is reality. Look at many Americans worried about crime in cities, while crime is low and dropping. Homicides (a small portion) are up, but all over the place, not cities in particular. (Source: Recent FBI/DoJ report.) I live in a place with low crime, yet people say they are leaving because of it.

> A lot of the companies that ... went to Miami due to politics will never go back.

As of a few months ago, most people leaving SF went to the greater Bay Area, next elsewhere in CA, next the state of Washington.

Most companies go to SF for politics (or policy), but it's the norm and therefore unremakrable. You don't see a lot of leading companies outside the leading cities, maybe for a reason. Politics, especially when one group advocates ignorance, hate, and disrupting the rule of law, correlates with intelligent policy. Also, most people don't like living around ignorance, hate, and chaos.
I lived in SOMA in the summer of '94, and it was pretty clean. The Tenderloin was bad, and the Lower Haight wasn't great, but neither of those places had tent cities and human poop.
In general, you can replace pattern matching with a function that takes one function for each constructor of the sum type.

"The government money printing press is not free market."

Oh no, not again this 'No True Scottman'-'Free market' myth.

Let's go down this path - what does 'free market' theory say, how much money should be in the economy? How should it be created or destroyed? There is no natural process for it, whoever has lisense to print money can rule the world or collapse the economy. 'Free market theory' provides no answer, just like it provides no answer to most important economic questions.

Is using a physical valuable substance as money, let's say gold, free market? That's Mercantilism and it brought national economies to a standstill due to lack of liquidity. People couldn't trade goods, take loans, nations went to wars over silver.

Do you want to have gold standard and fractional reserve banking? Is it freely floating currency and a system where banks create money out of thin air? (governments don't print money any more by the way). Which one of these three totally different systems is the mythical true 'free market'?

Are private currencies owned by banks free market? That's what we used to have, they used to collapse all the time. That's why we invented central banks.
When talking to someone native to the area I would often times mention that I was taken aback by the amount of homelessness and open drug use in the streets of San Francisco. (This was pre-pandemic.)

They seemed puzzled, as if I came from a small town and wasn't used to life in a big city. I've moved to SF from NYC. Several times I would get a variation of "isn't it the same in New York?" from them. It's not, it doesn't even get close to SF. Mid-pandemic NYC at 2am felt safer than pre-pandemic SF on a Monday morning.
The hilarious thing about companies like this and Reddit that justified productivity for buying these machines (I love my MacBook Pro m1 max by the way) is that they think there's going to be a difference in productivity if build times are shorter.

The blockchain itself is literally the way. That's why it's there. If you take it out, double spends.
A small observation here. I don't subscribe ever to any Saas that doesn't makes clear its pricing upfront. 'Start for free' is not exactly clear for me. Also, you might want to put up at least an orientation list, what one would expect on the free data feeds and on the paid ones. Just to help your potential users to make an educated decision. Other than that, I think you have a good business case.
I feel like this is perhaps a bit of a gap in semver tbh. Sometimes a purely additive change can be quite major, in the sense that it shifts the thing in such a fundamental way that you are unlikely to try to interoperate between before and after, and are likely to run into trouble if you do.

Basically, if 1.18 code is extremely unlikely to work against a 1.17 compiler, because a new (technically additive) feature is pervasively threaded through new code, I feel like it's hard to describe them as part of the same epoch.

I don't write enough go to know if that's true for generics, but it seems like it could become true fairly quickly from my experience with other languages.
One issue with these "other compositors" is that you aren't just replacing the compositor itself but you have to replace the entire environment.
Not defending this BS by any means, but certain cables have metallic connectors which I believe are connected to the cable's shielding jacket, and if the ports on either side are metal they are probably connected (maybe unintentionally though physical contact with the chassis) to the device's ground, so wouldn't that create a conductive path for interference?

> Python does

And it's awful. I use EAFP locally (to avoid TOCTOU and the like) at low level interfaces but I don't let it bubble up out of a function scope, because it is a goto in all but name.

I've also been increasingly using the `result` library/data structure. It's incredibly liberating to return an error as an object you can compose into other functions, vs try/catch, which does not compose.

Yes I write python almost like rust, and it's great. Strong types, interfaces, immutable types. It looks nothing like "old school python" but also behaves nothing like it. Gone are the day of "oh it crashed again, fix one line and rerun".

Exceptions should be for exceptional circumstances, not errors.

Edit: I see this is controversial. What do you take objection to? Making your python look less dynamic and more like rust? Try it before you knock it. Python's my favorite language, but I do not agree that many of the common "pythonic" patterns are good at scale.

Honestly, as a hobyist, I'd really recommend looking into Ghidra. It's really great, can be modified to suit your needs much more easily both thanks to its open source nature but also because of its really good API (IDA's scripting API is a huge mess...). Its decompiler is also really really good, and keeps getting better.

This is coming from someone who has access to an IDA Pro license through work, and uses both it and Ghidra daily. IDA does a few things better than Ghidra (Lumina is much better than ghidra's FIDB, the debugger support is a bit more feature-complete), but it's certainly not worth the steep price IMO.
This is close to my experience, as well. Particularly if I'm also reading text or otherwise using my vision in an involved way.

In the pre-dawn hours of Holy Saturday, April 22, agents of the Border Patrol's special BORTAC unit as part of an operation in which more than 130 INS personnel took part[25] approached the house, knocked on the door, and identified themselves. When no one responded, they entered. At the same time, pepper-spray and mace were employed against persons outside who attempted to interfere.[26] In the confusion, Armando Gutierrez called in Alan Diaz, of the Associated Press, to enter the house and enter a room with González, his great uncle's wife Angela Lázaro, her niece, the niece's young son, and Donato Dalrymple (one of the two men who had rescued him from the ocean). They waited in the room listening to agents searching the house. Diaz took a widely publicized photograph of a border patrol agent confronting Dalrymple and the boy.

Physical locations don't let me participate in massive numbers of discussions at once- I engage more fully with one person/group of people. And on HN, I can spend hours and hours here without anyone likely noticing, while people would notice that I haven't left the coffee shop. And I would likely need to leave the coffee shop to get something done, while HN can be constantly on the side of my screen.

Physical locations also tend to force me to engage back- if you say something I disagree with, I may not speak up, but my reaction (or lack of reaction) communicates to some extent what I think. Online, I could be annoyed by you, or happy that you think like me, or seething mad, and no-one may ever know if I choose not to.

I don't think HN is generally worse than physical interaction, but it has the potential to be. Social environments often have some moderating influence on participants, through social customs, lack of anonymity, and better communication through body language, tone of voice, etc.

> In Europe, they’re not tolerant of drug use on the streets. Even in cities where it’s decriminalized.

Ehm Berlin and Frankfurt are pretty much Europe and there's open drug use and selling on "sanctuary districts", same as San Francisco. On Frankfurt it's more blatant because it's right by the train station, but a little bit more nuanced than in SF because they have "safe drug use houses" so people don't do it in the sidewalk.
