Building luxury housing is emblematic of the short-term thinking of the 90's and 00's that has resulted in the long-term issues we're seeing today.

You can build single-family housing on vast swaths of land for landlord sharks to snap up and rent out. However, that results in a city of short-term inhabitants who aren't invested in taking care of the city and eventually the city is less desirable and the rentals dry up.

Or you can ban single-family housing rentals, build high-density housing for rentals, and reserve the single-family units for long-term residents who will upkeep the desirability of the city.

It has nothing to do with liberal or conservative policymakers and more to do with the sort of short-term thinking that "build more housing - there are no consequences" represents.
I have no faith in the people who run cities like LA.

They have no ability, nor will to fix such a massive problem. With LA this has been in motion for decades.

You let everyone say construction offends them, and make it so only luxury housing is profitable to build. This is the result.

LA is uniquely horrible since you both need a car and an extremely expensive apartment. Even on the low end you're talking about $600 to $1,000 for the privilege of driving.
$ sbcl
This is SBCL 1.5.8.138-d53fb0eb3, an implementation of ANSI Common Lisp.
More information about SBCL is available at <http://www.sbcl.org/>.

* (eq '(a b) '(a b))
NIL
*

Which is exactly what I'd expect in any normal (non-weird) Common Lisp implementation. Is your SBCL returning T for this?
I think powermetrics provides the information. Aka you can probably query it alongside temps and stuff.

> Without the ability to break ABI, the C++ standard library is dead.

I agree that the ABI should be broken. However, the standard library is not dead, for 2 reasons:

1. There could be switch to an std2 namespace for new versions of things, or of the whole library. And then std3 etc.

2. There _will_ be a switch to standard library via _modules_, and with that switch the ABI is changing anyway, so it could be used to make changes to existing ABI

... that being said, a lot of the standard library, while not dead, is kind of brain-dead, like std::map and std::unordered_map; or how you need the mountain of code that is ranges to be able to say `vec2 = transform(vec1, my_func)`, even though that was perfectly doable with C++11 at the latest, etc.

> Why have an ABI then ?

Because that way compiled code can work with other compiled code without them being compiled together? :-(
> Excuse me, how do you envision the use of one-time pads in the real world?

You load up as much one-time pad as you will have data to transmit - sometimes hundreds of MB of key if required. Storage is cheap.
Two billion litres a year. Impressive number at first glance. But let's say my own household of 4 was able to keep water consumption down to 500L/day (I wish), that's already around 180K litres/year just for my house. So divided into 2B, that's about 11K houses' worth of wastewater. A modest size town's worth, for all the air travel worldwide.
There are empty cities in China and cheap empty houses all over the Midwest.
Funny, I followed longnow for a while, and I never saw it, but that was a while ago. A lot of cool people on the project.
It's worse than that, karma is mostly about location location location.

You're talking about probability of upvote, but that needs to be multiplied by the number of people who read the comment, and that depends heavily on where it is on the comment page itself. When I look at my karma on my recent comments they have very little to do with how much time I spent on them or how unique my perspective is... I even wonder if that aspect is gameable sometimes, whether you could guess the probability that with your upvote a comment that has been recently posted 5 minutes ago could be boosted above the top comment posted 5 hours ago, and if the 15 minute ago one was interesting enough maybe it would be self-sustaining up there, and you could potentially produce the second comment in the page by replying to it. But that's a lot of math when probably if you're trying to optimize karma/comment there are better heuristics, “always comment on any post that is on the front page with < 20 points and < 20 comments” or so, just increasing volume of things that are probably in the right place to be upvoted.
The narrative that housing is blocked by rich NIMBYs protecting their land value is true BUT

The less popular narrative that’s just as true, at least in California if you pay attention to the politics, is that PHIMBYs who are mostly renters and insist on 100% affordable or nothing, play just as big a role.

If you look at who blocked SB50 or who pitched the “Mission moratorium , it was PHIMBY renters.

It’s easy to rally people up against greedy rich people. But the elephant in the room is that so much resistance comes from poor people who think “luxury housing” (aka anything market rate) will lead to more gentrification.

You can agree or disagree with the PHIMBY position but most people find it complex enough they just pretend that faction doesn’t exist despite the huge role it plays.
Thank you for the compliments!

Snappiness is definitely lent to the tiny scale of the project compared to Windows -- the entire thing is loaded to RAM! Though that's been changing in more recent updates.

> 95% of people I talked to were non-technical

Made me think of https://dilbert.com/strip/2015-09-11

The vast majority of the engineer/non-engineer speed dates that I remember from the
Cambridge University entrepreneurship scene were basically versions of this.

The other type was "A: Hi, nice to meet you! I have a great idea for a startup. Would
you like to join me in implementing my idea?" "B: No! Because I have a better idea for a startup.
Would you like to forget about your idea and instead join me in implementing my idea?"
"A: No thanks, I still like my idea."
Likewise Youtube doesn't optimize for relevant results, only engagement to maximize ad exposure. The side effect of this is polarizing content gets returned more than relevant content (polarizing content being more engaging than relevant content apparently).
SF doesn't rank anywhere near the top in terms of drug use/overdoses, a title merited by some Midwest cities such as Omaha. This would clearly invalidate the drug-addiction -> homelessness cause and effect.

The data I've seen points in the other direction: A majority of homeless drug addicts started using AFTER they became addicts. I imagine once you're at the bottom and have little hope to improve, it's easy to give in to abandon.

You're right, originally it was just a 2-way wrist radio. Later on they made it a 2-way wrist TV.
> That would reduce the value of their real estate assets in places like SF and LA.

does it actually work that way? a large part of land value seems to come from network effects: the more densely populated a region, the more valuable each sqft.

upzoning a plot often seems to be an immediate profit, too. SFH worth $1M, gets upzoned, suddenly a developer can pay $2M for the plot and tear down the house + build high-density units that are very valuable.

maybe values fall once you overbuild, but i have yet to see that in my lifetime.
Owners of SFHs tend to be the most stiff resistance despite the fact that upzoning increases the value of their land.

This is a culture war first and foremost. It's racism, classism, and fear of the unknown.
Completely agree. We should be aiming to elect doctors and engineers (i.e. people who understand Systems Theory) for political positions, not people who have prescriptive solutions.
After radio became ubiquitous, the comic switched to 'two-way wrist TV'
"Well-supported scientific consensus" and "scientifically well-supported theory" are doing a lot of work when the loudest enforcers of the "consensus" consistently operate in dishonesty for strategic reasons, see e.g. the 2019 Cofnas paper: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/09515089.2019.16...
I love collections like these. So cool to see what different people have done with the concept.

A priori it seems astoundingly unlikely to me that rent prices are causing people to become homeless at the margins. There's a huge gap in means between someone who just barely can't afford rent in SF and someone who lives on the street in SF. The former will move somewhere cheaper rather than living on the street. Almost certainly this effect is mediated by the fact that homeless people choose to move to cities which have high rent (because those cities tend to have better weather, better social services, etc.).
I think progress would be to use terms like 'mild' and 'addiction' in different sentences.
Sure it can. Such as implying "the only way you'd be able to separate your backend logic into an API is if your browser client uses it".
There is no such thing as luxury housing. If someone builds a fancy new apartment building with amenities, units in the 60 year old building next door automatically fall in value and become more affordable. We need to build housing, period.

For me, it's the principal of the thing. It's not that it's such a terrible thing for a company to know my email address (especially when apple makes it trivial to create throwaway ones for your iCloud account, their "hide my email" feature has improved so that now you can just make bespoke randomly generated email addresses that look exactly like an unassuming iCloud account, but forward to yours.)

The reason I do this is because I am so fundamentally against the concept of a gaming company harvesting personal information about its users, that I feel like a shitty person for being complicit in it. I'd rather miss out on the occasional good game than be "part of the problem".
The catalyst for me was joining a couple of communities. The best for me was Cambrian (https://www.cambrianhq.com/) because I am generally interested in fintech.

This is my experience as well, after being heavily involved in a local issue. In my state the state employee leaders are also, on the main, very low caliber people.

In other words: In cities with cheap housing, even the drug addicts can afford a home, which is a GOOD thing IMO. For everybody, homeless and housed.
It’s actually important to understand the American liberal is quite conservative when it comes to economic concerns. The problem with fixing housing is that it requires change, and the tolerance for economic change for your typical liberal voter is very limited. There’s a reason why they routinely reject their left flank in favor of economic moderates and it’s not just pragmatism or electability: they tolerate the status quo and are only open to minor tweaks and adjustments.

Looks like this guy gets to be the arbiter of what humanness constitutes, and label anything that does not meet up to that standard as 'loser'. Yes, this approach will weed out some people that will consume more than they produce, but at the expense of a lot of false negatives and false positives. For example, it will also weed out the highly competent, highly conscientious, yet also highly private and introverted (a group with high representation in the tech world).

The original author and reposter are (within legal limits) free to hire who they want for at-will employment, shaping whatever culture they desire, but to blanket label everyone who does not meet their criteria as 'losers' is immature.
> - The canceling of car chips actually relieved the pressure on the fabs as they were able to take other fab orders. I don't think this slowed down fabrication in general, but when the car manufacturers realized they actually did need that capacity and more, the capacity had already been sold to other customers. This is entirely on the car manufacturers and is only kind of related to the overall chip shortage.

iirc this was the root of it. i think the whole chip shortage began in the car industry.

> Combine that with human status seeking and the placebo effect and you get $2500 audiophile ethernet switches.

There is a very clear line separating expensive audiophile equipment that might have some hard-to-measure non-placebo benefits, and expensive audiophile equipment that cannot possibly do anything.

That line is the digital-analogic conversion. Any piece of equipment operating purely on digital information is either performing very straightforward redundancy checks and error correction, or it's snake oil. Tertium non datur.
Let's set the stage here though; the most powerful, affluent company in the world made a new chip on silicon that could not be fabricated or bought by any other manufacturers in the world. This new CPU runs a foreign architecture, refuses to run x86 code unless recompiled into "native" instructions. Their decades-old chip manufacturing team manages to make a CPU that's just barely competitive with the rest of the market and... has slightly better battery life? Is it uncouth to say that I was expecting a little more here from the biggest company in the world?

I don't hate Apple because they're a "design and marketing" company; those just happen to be what they're best at. I hate them because they're lazy, they waste money and spend every drop of goodwill they ascertain on locking in consumers, reducing the choice they have inside their ecosystem and raising the wall around their garden. Apple is a company driven by the same ethos that ruined Microsoft 10 years ago, and their reckoning is fast-approaching. The M1 still can't run a ton of software. It is the compatibility underdog, and the x86 developers of the world (at least speaking anecdotally here) simply don't care.

Apple is still not the best chip designer (Nvidia and even AMD nowadays have them beat there), and their marketing is only powerful because they can say whatever they want and people will buy it anyways. You're right on one account though; nobody else markets like they do.
> you get nothing from nicotine

Nicotine is involved in neurochemical circuits. Intake (it doesn’t have to be smoking) boosts focus and learning rate.
Reviews are a special category. It suffers from a couple of issues:

1. You need to have enthusiastic reviewers (people who care enough about a product category to review them semi-throughly.)

2. Proper reviews can take time and may need domain knowledge.

3. Competition. When there were one or two people doing reviews on some category of products, maybe the economics worked out. Once you have hundreds or thousands competing with you, the time demand may be overwhelming and not worth it.

4. If you are a trusted reviewer or site, you will get economic pressure to review a particular thing or brand you may not like very much but the money may be good. So you will begin to experience conflicts of interest.

5. If reviews are just a hobby and not a way to make money, eventually you will slow down or move on, opening a hole that gets filled up by spammers.

7. Some things are timeless (a pipewrench, let's say) and some are seasonal (consumer electronics, toys, etc). The former deserves a through review but the latter doesn't deserve as much but it may get the bulk of interest due to seasonal demand). Does it really matter if the latter's latest iteration has 2% increased battery life to discuss?

I'm sure there is a lot I didn't think of. But it's a doomed category, unless people are willing to pay for professional reviews (Consumer Reports types and other independents).

Russia, China, Britain, US and France say no one can win a nuclear war
It's a pretty bad article but I think that point at least is valid. At a startup you definitely need people who can do stuff that isn't strictly on their job description. People who when faced with a task they've never done before will figure it out, rather than sit there saying "I don't know how to do that". Some people really are like that.

His whole "you have to have hobbies" thing is stupid though. My girlfriend is extremely capable. She went from answering phones to director in 6 years. She doesn't have hobbies.
Obligatory reminder that your donations to "Mozilla" go to Mozilla Foundation, not Mozilla Corporation. That's an important distinction, because Firefox development is done by the latter, not the former.

I'm not convinced that rent control is really a factor in either direction. Los Angeles and San Francisco have had rent control for a very long time, and they have sky-high homeless popuations. Oregon banned rent control in the state constitution, and Portland has a huge homeless population. The common thread in all these cities is a war on developers, and it certainly looks like a large homeless population is what you get for winning that war.
This is so bad it makes me what to train a neural network to do it for me.
