When you’ve got a Head of Homeless Services who see the homeless as a part of class warfare you realize they don’t want the problem fixed. They’re fighting capitalism by making the problem bigger, not smaller.

“Why do they do it? Radical anti-system ideology. “There’s a San Francisco Coalition on Homelessness hat which says, ‘Coalition on Homelessness: On The Frontlines of Class Warfare,’” said the insider. “They feel like they’re fighting class warfare. They tell people to not take shelter.””

No, they are orthogonal. A society split between middle class workers and billionaires still has inequality without poverty. A society of 100% poverty has no inequality.

When you don't judge theft harshly you actually promote a culture of dishonesty.

It is the cruelest and vilest thing to do to those poor people who actually don't steal.

I don't think it works like that. Constant attrition does not prevent your company from relying on individuals. You don't fire you good employees and they won't leave if it's a worthwhile job. With constant attrition you get a core group you rely on. However that group is not as productive as they could be because they spend a lot of time training and integrating new employees that don't stay.
Maybe the main problem is that you want different materials in different parts of the structure?

E.g., the inner wall of the cooling channel in the bell is better made of something weaker but more heat-conductive, as noted in TFA. And, different materials in the chamber, throat, and bell.

I suppose you could have multiple feeders, on an additive system. But there are various reasons to want to use laser sintering of powdered metal, instead. And bonding the different metals is its own challenge. You could vary the mix of powder dropped at different levels, and rate of motion of the laser to match. But the combustion chamber probably wants concentric layers.

That sort of anti-fragility isnt a guaranteed outcome of attrition though. You can just as easily be left with a pool of under-performers that can't/won't leave, while talent moves to organisations that invest more in staff vs processes.

Fair enough, I didn't know there was a formal definition of "extremely rare" vs. "rare". But it's "about equally rare" between vax and infection for the healthiest group, and rare for all groups.

This is why I think it's so weird to avoid the vaccine due to that risk. It's not like people taking the vax are spinning a roulette wheel with 1/10000 risk of complication, and if they reject the vaccine they don't need to spin it. If that was the case, then I'd understand it.
>I think they are being robbed because it's easy to do so, with a low risk for any consequences. Similarly as to why shoplifting in LA is up.

Ok, then why aren't you robbing or shoplifting if it's so easy and risk-free? Is it because you have too much to lose if you get caught?

My whole point is that if people have a minimal standard of living, the fear of losing it will prevent them from committing crimes much more effectively than some nut shooting at them
Not that I disagree with the sentiment, but most of this can be accomplished with markdown, git, and things like github pages without building an app.
> Compile times matter in extreme cases

In an IDE, your program is partially compiled with every keystroke. So compilation time is a paramount concern, not in extreme cases but always, everyday, all the time.

> 3 seconds is not really something I would worry about.

That's 3 seconds for a single translation unit, and a short one at that with a single non-templated function. Now compile 1,000 translation units, each of which being, say, 3 times as complex (so, a decent-size project) - and your compilation time has become 144 minutes, nearly 2.5 hours - instead of 192 seconds, a little over 3 minutes.

Now, it's true that you don't recompile your whole project every time, but still, the difference is huge.

> bunch of semi-compatible

To some extent, certainly. But you need to account for two points:

1. C++ is multi-paradigmatic. You should not expect to use all features together.

2. While this may seem weird, or ridiculous, C++ is a work-in-progress language. There are issues which have been known for decades and are only now being addressed, or not even now. I mean, we've needed (some of) the ranges functionality since the STL was introduced in the early 1990s, and it has just now made it into the language. This may not be a good thing but it is _a_ thing, so it's actually not the case that the language

Heroin itself is much less damaging to your body than more popular drugs like tobacco or alcohol.

Making it harder for addicts to get heroin or a replacement will only increase the energy they will spend on getting it. This makes it nearly impossible to get to a better place in their life. It is mostly getting the drug that has a negative effect on holding down a job, not the drug itself.

I guess it's always a question of perspective. Coming from Germany, there definitely is _more_ of a cycling culture in Sweden than in Germany. The cycling infrastructure is better and better maintained (snow plowing, etc.). Of course that is also a generalization, as the differences can be big within a country as well. (My frame of reference for Sweden is mostly Uppsala)

But the noticeable presence of SUV and even Pickup models I usually associate with the US in Sweden also surprised me. Those are rare in Germany.
No, fair is in the eye of the court that is resolving the case when there is a conflict. And these terms have meanings in a legal context.
The people that System76 sells to most likely buy their hardware. In which case the word 'Rust' is worrying at least. Would you buy a laptop that ships with rust?

Jokes aside: during early development it makes perfect sense to advertise tech being used, because the audience is so different at that time. So even if system76 would "shill" it as a Rust DE, at this phase, that would be fine, because of the highly technical audience.
Or to have great onboarding, people learn a lot, are effective quickly, and leave after learning enough. The know-how is then embedded in the process not in people, which guarantees stability, while people are guaranteed to change.

Root cause prevent - my friend who got hooked ok coke & lost everything for getting caught on the job site would’ve been better off if that coke dealer had been busted before my friend bought coke. Or if my friend’s middle-class parents had disciplined him more. Or maybe if he had a more ridged sports program in college that helped athletes avoid the perils of college parties Vs cutting him.
> Young people should not be put in debt-bondage. Imagine America's financial health if we let young people start families and careers debt free.

I agree college is far too expensive and the rate of inflation of college tuition is rather absurd. The reasons for such, are best debated in another thread. However, I'm skeptical that eliminating student debt would ultimately result in significantly better financial outcomes for young people. Instead, most of the "savings" would be swallowed up by higher real estate and rent costs. The pandemic should serve as prima facie evidence -- give a huge swath of the population more cash, real estate will eat much/most/all of it. Let's say that instead of student debt, the typical 22-32 year-old professional has approximately $500 more spending power. All that means is that they will compete with each other to purchase housing, pushing rents and housing costs up -- not just for themselves but also for everyone else.

This doesn't mean we shouldn't try to reduce student debt (not via forgiveness, but by reducing education costs to begin with) -- but doing so is not a panacea.
I mean, that ship's basically sailed. People are too lazy even to take `std::string_view` instead of `std::string&`, trying to avoid pointless allocations and clones with any API but your own is almost a fool's errand at this point.
Can't speak for the whole world, but in Canada my experience is that they're not testing for the flu anymore. Only COVID. In years past if you went to the doctor during flu season they'd do a throat swab for flu. Now it's only for COVID.

I know lots of people who were sick but only tested for COVID. One of my friends was out of work for a month with a bacterial infection they missed for 2+ weeks because they only tested for COVID....

I don't mind system76 succeeding, that would be great, but I have not really liked any of their laptop offerings. I also really don't want another half funded DE for Linux. I really wish they would dedicate these resources to improving GNOME and gtk instead. Things like VRR, DPI scaling, touchpad behaviour, prioritising wifi driver bugs, basic things like copy/paste interactions between apps, screen sharing et.al. are still less than great experiences on Linux and is more important to improve than a new half baked UI.

Personally, I see society going in the opposite direction.

Back in the 1980s there were a lot more jobs in manufacturing, doing things like manual machining; and every driver had to have basic mechanic's skills because cars needed constant tinkering.

Why is it trivial to take a unfamiliar code base and dive into it, hunting down calls, working through the stack to understand what / how a particular function works. This is a hugely important part of familiarising oneself with a codebase - it leads to many useful discussions. Who should you talk to if there is problem in a function halfway down. If I want to add a parameter to the top function, what might have to change down the stack?

I am not sure why thats trivial
I think it's about the fact that they are a mystery at the heart of maths. You can start describing maths from the unit, the addition and the negative sign. If you start combining those, you get the natural numbers, the integers, ... but even before the natural numbers come the prime numbers. Primes are the most fundamental set of numbers in mathematics, from which you can generate the natural numbers.

But as you say, even after so many years they are still relevant, useful and mysterious. They are on a wildly different category from other sets and numerical series. They are the most central element of maths that we still don't understand. And central means that so many other parts of maths derive from it, and therefore we end up coming across prime numbers everywhere. We use them to analyze so many other parts of maths, but yet they remain elusive to analysis themselves. It's a fundamental, recurrent mystery that's also an extremely useful tool... one of the most beautiful things we know.
Has Australia granted any such exemptions to anyone else?
> Probably happens because Brazil has so many more Portuguese speakers than Portugal?

Definitely. Similar to how most websites (even European ones) use American English instead of British English.

Interestingly, Portuguese children are adopting a lot of Brazilian Portuguese words now because of Youtube (since Brazilian content is so much more common than Portuguese content).
The Python compiler can output working code just fine. It takes either a Lisp structure (COMPILE) and generates a code object in memory, or takes a text file (COMPILE-FILE) and generates a FASL file. This has absolutely nothing to do with the runtime, except perhaps for COMPILE-FILE's need to read and write a file which ultimately needs to go through a syscall in the runtime. But the compiler is not even partially written in C. (And considering that Python originated as part of the CMUCL project in the mid-80's era of Lisp machines which didn't even include any C code whatsoever, writing even a part of Python in C would have been a curious design decision back then.)
I didn't know about that! This is awesome!
Was it? While it is often a talking point of the Kremlin that there is a civil war in Ukraine, there is a lot of truth to it.

The industry rich southern and eastern regions simply did not want free trade with the EU, because it would mean they would not be able to compete and it would restructure the economy of Ukraine significantly. On the other hand there were the students in the cities that wanted a closer association with the EU.

There is no ethnic component to it, there are nearly as many Russian and Ukrainian speakers on both sides and it is not between left and right, it is more Maidan vs Anti-Maidan or whatever the factions call themselves now. Aside from a minority of students, almost everyone is a Ukraine nationalist (beware, this too is used in progapanda talking point). Not in the negative way these terms are currently used in western nations though, they are fighting for their interests or their independence.

Both factions are very impoverished and are dependent on the respective super power to support them although the western side is a bit more independent. But basically they are the playground for an rekindled cold war. If you want to read up on it there is much to do. Media reports are heavily one sided in my opinion and just carelessly stoke conflicts without even hinting at the reasons for the conflict.

Overall I do think Russia is at fault, they feared expansion of the EU and NATO, but associating with the EU was an intrinsic wish of many Ukrainians and it has to be their choice. Not in the interest of everybody though and there is merit to their case for protectionism if you do not want external investors buying up the whole infrastructure.

The vaccine risk is mostly for Moderna, and I'm not sure it is higher than getting it from covid. Moderna is not the only vaccine out there. There are slews of other effects of Covid that would definitely end his career.

I have little patience for folks that refuse to get vaccinated. You are more likely to catch and therefore spread covid (possibly killing others) and much more likely to add to the stress on the healthcare system when you get covid. If you do decide not to vaccinate after knowing this and understanding that the risks from a vaccine are less than the risks from the virus, I fully expect you to stay home and minimize your effect on others. This is partially so that folks that cannot be vaccinated don't have to suffer because you won't do your part.

Of course, staying home - the responsible thing to do if you aren't going to get vaccinated - would end his career anyway. On the other hand, he is probably monied enough for it to not have dire consequences. Unfortunately, many of the folks he inspires are not in that position.

Yup. EU recognizes past infections, not sure why places like Canada and Australia refuse to. It's pretty clear it's not about science at this point.

For example, in Canada some provinces have created exemptions for people who have COVID to be able to work, while firing those who are unvaccinated... Science has been completely tossed by the wayside because of politics and our vengeful population.
In other news: multiple sclerosis is contagious.

Most of us don't develop an autoimmune disorder fighting EBV. But that is the luck of the draw.

I know of no reason not to suspect EBV and other viruses of causing numerous mental and other chronic illnesses. The number of such known will only ever increase. A vaccine against a virus protects you from both the known and the unknown consequences. A successful vaccine against each virus will probably be the only way to discover most such effects.

Hey, I wanted to pitch in to say I've been through the same train of thought the past 3-6 months. After realising that I've had access to high speed internet for the past 20 years and analysing why I'm feeling progressively worse with my usage of it.

I came to the same conclusion: even though browsing through HN, Reddit and so on for the past 10-12 years has been immensely useful for some parts of my life (some hobbies, my profession, very interesting articles I got exposed to) I noticed that the past 3-4 years I have been very unhappy with my consumption.

It got worse after I stopped to analyse it, I noticed these past months that I'm actually addicted to the loop of instant reward that reading something passably interesting pushes me to. Forcing myself to not read HN or my favourite subreddits for a day or two causes very similar symptoms of withdrawal that I had when quitting smoking, actually it's a pretty good parallel to me: if I use it I feel like crap and guilty afterwards, if I don't use it I feel like crap and unfulfilled.

It's been a really hard realisation, hard and scary to be honest.

That is basically a longform way of saying "people will steal if their personal economics makes stealing rational". While extremely true it doesn't give a toehold into the problem to decide what to do next.

The question here is really what specific policies and cultural forces are shaping the economic realities that these people are living in. If nothing else, we should ask why someone isn't having great success hiring a few thick-knuckled train robbers away from their life of crime and running a very profitable security business.
