This looks cool. If you want to delve deeper intob symbolic computation you can have a look at sympy [0]. It seems to be the "defacto standard" when it comes to Python libraries for this.

I’ve historically used Shortcuts on iOS to pipe articles through Siri, but the experience isn’t great.

I’m sure services must exist which consume articles and can read them aloud with high quality test-to-speech, tracking of how far through an article you’ve listened, and so on.

Sounds like I lost the asshole measuring contest :)
Paycheck to paycheck means that there is no savings. How much does it hurt to cut spending is a completely different variable, not measured at all.

It's normal that a lot of people live paycheck to paycheck even when they are well-off. Yes, the increase is probably all caused by worsening of the standard of life, yet it does not measure into what kind of bad it has descended.

(By the way, number of people living paycheck to paycheck is a very weird number. Confidence about the future increases it too.)
The main value in TDD is not when you write the initial implementation. Sure, it can help, but most devs are competent enough to implement a function/class/whatever and have it do what the programmer thinks it will do.

The value from TDD is documenting those assumptions.
"The db will always be connected before this class is used",
"This function assumes the user is authenticated" and so on.

Then in 6 months, a year or even 5, when you or someone else comes back to this code, you can be reasonably certain changes to it will break tests, because the tests tell you how the REST of the codebase is using this.

Of course, that assumes a decent shelf life for the code. If you can be reasonably certain you're going to handover this and never touch it again, don't bother with the tests. And delete the repo while you're at it.... (not comfortable with that, are we? :D )
Sounds fascinating, do you have some links for me?

3 things I don't hear much about:

* Plenty of places in the Midwest (Arkansas and Kansas, for example) are depopulating. Affordable real estate exists there - https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2021/oct/08/populations-...

* Mobile homes seem a not-great-but-doable alternative. Still money to be made, particularly if they have a "tiny home" vibe.

* Multi-generational mortgages. Again not great, but not everyone has access to $1-2MM.
I'm always pleasantly surprised to show up at the end of the day, click through my posts, and see thoughtful replies. I rarely have the time to back-and-forth in a thread - push notifications would probably just discourage me from ever posting. But... seeing some replies or upvotes for something I wrote the previous day - that's always a nice "Hey - thanks for sharing" that I don't feel compelled to reply to as the day has already passed.
Strange because they even censored the search engine name on the screenshot. I really wonder what these engines were.

I think it's because pretty much any conceivable game design decision will only be a difficult decision to make if there is disagreement on what is fun. In other words, you'll never have two game designers trying to make a difficult decision where one designer says "the thing I want to do is less fun" and the other designer says "the thing I want to do is more fun." They'll both think that the thing they want to do is more fun, because in the context of game design "fun" is essentially synonymous with "good."
I guess what I meant is:why is no one doing better than them?

Awesome! Thanks!

Would love to see a developer tier. We aren't launched yet so it's always hard to integrate something into the product when you don't exactly know when that will be and have to pay in the meantime. Even if it's EXTREMELY limited (10 tracked users or something) as long as I don't get kicked out I would be happy.
Perhaps the only good thing about T1D is the immediate camaraderie you feel with other T1Ds. When I spot somebody else in public with a CGM or a pump, it's just that instant feeling of "hey, we know nothing about each other, but we have a very intimate understanding of each other's suffering".

> Love this part. Had to do it literally yesterday to prep for interviewing a job applicant. Imagine the stress of an upcoming meeting, but also your brain might stop functioning half an hour into it! Ha ha! Good times.

Haha, yeah, this is one of those things that every T1D has had to do at some point, that non diabetics would probably be shocked by. There are just times when you can't risk going low. Going high ain't great, but it at least doesn't involve the immediate danger that a hypo at just the wrong moment does...
My own sense is that something isn't a 'community' if most people in it don't know each other or talk to each other- but I am open to that being challenged.
Also, the reasons why you "shouldn't" aren't very compelling. Any semi-competent computer user is already aware of this stuff and more than capable of managing the trade-offs.
Taxes can be a profitable way to encourage the results you want to see. If you want to encourage SFH ownership, make it more expensive to rent a SFH than to own.

Coincidentally, increasing rental turnover is a great way to discourage small-time landlords as a vacancy for 1-2 months can often wipe out any hope of profit or even just covering the mortgage for the year. Most small time investors would see buying a rental property as a money losing investment.

Also, why would everyone want to be a homeowner all the time? Renting is preferable for many at different stages of life. 70% is probably the most it should be.
Don't just throw untested prototypes in production, but you don't gain anything in a lot of envs by throwing away a prototype completely. You're likely to introduce additional issues by rewriting it for no reason.
For typical nuclear power plants the land usage isn't anywhere close to what you claim:

>...A typical 1,000-megawatt nuclear facility in the United States needs a little more than 1 square mile to operate. NEI says
wind farms require 360 times more land area to produce the same amount of electricity and solar photovoltaic plants require 75 times more space.
To put that in perspective, you would need more than 3 million solar panels to produce the same amount of power as a typical commercial reactor or more than 430 wind turbines (capacity factor not included).

https://www.energy.gov/sites/prod/files/2019/01/f58/Ultimate...

Are there countries where the land use for nuclear power is orders of magnitude larger?
>I guess the interesting part is that many of the people in the US want public healthcare and generally think that the international examples cover everything.

In the US, the left assumes (and usually operates as per) that all healthcare plans outside the US are "100% free", single-payer like the UK NHS or Canadian Medicare, as opposed to the actual norm being something closer to that of France, Germany, Austria, or the Netherlands.

France = 30% copay is the norm

German/Switzerland/Netherlands = Everyone chooses from one of dozens of competing insurance plans. Basically Obamacare, except there are no loopholes like the ones that allow 9% of Americans to not get insurance

Austria = Like US, but you don't get to choose the plan (no equivalent to US annual shopping period)

Australia = Both private and public insurance. Those on public are strongly encouraged to move to private

That's because there isn't usually enough demand to really set up a good building office greasy palm operation, but corruption certainly happens there too (Cuyahoga county has seen issues over the years and Chicago alderman corruption is legendary). If you don't have demand, onerous building process will just turn developers away and they will opt to build somewhere with about the same demand and less process. Sometimes that's even used as a tool to quiet development on purpose. If you have a situation where there is a lot of demand, like in the bay area where they've added 7 jobs per unit of house constructed over the past decade generating huge latent housing demand, councilmembers know they can make the process as slow and unforgiving as they want and developers are still strongly financially incentivized to build to meet this huge demand, and not only will suffer through the process but will often actually pay the councilmember a bribe or echange favors in some way to speed up the wheels. The more obtuse and complex the process, the more levers a corrupted official can pull to speed things up or slow things down and keep it looking like routine process on the face and out of the press, until the FBI finally gets prosecutable evidence of quid pro quo and puts in the indictment.

This makes sense but, knowing that these won't be supported started with v8, it doesn't really matter if the license is not revoked. If I want to continue using the system, and all the benefits and value that come with it, I need to use v8. SSH Keys and Git support alone makes that more valuable than maintaining a local license version.

I've been following the press about closed loop artificial pancreases closely, too. Currently, the open-source solutions there are require using insulin pumps that are pretty big and for some, that's not a choice they're ready to make. I too hope this tech continues to advance quickly.
Oh hmm, you're right. I've always done it with the other order and never had problems. Forget where I learned it that way...
To be fair, all three are expensive, and the returns/merits of each could be argued to varying degrees. If we adjusted the tax structure and spending to arrest or reverse the ever increasing debt, then it could be feasible. Personally, I'd like to see them start responsibly addressing the fiscal situation caused by their past decisions before adding in new programs.
Streaming App Sentiments
> Eg in spoken languages the equivalent of 'I' is used much more often than any other pronoun. Similarly simpler sentences are perhaps more likely to refer to the present than the past; eg past tense is much more likely to come with an additional specification of _when_ stuff happened. That information is less kind of a given when we are talking about _now_.

This still rests on a lot of assumptions about the language. Pronouns are used much more in some languages than others, some languages have more pronouns than others, etc.. Tense is not at all universal in the world's languages as you probably know. There are linguistic theories that even question the universality of nouns and verbs as categories, and even if they are to an extent universal, they are certainly not fixed in their boundaries across languages, e.g. most things that in English adjectives are expressed as verbs in Classical Arabic. Even if you could do a perfect job of extracting a set of syntactic categories and morphological paradigms from a language, I don't think you would be able to do anything with it. Word 3849 from category C often combines with words 201, 635, and 9913 from category F in conjugations 1-4, but never 5.

And of course, even for nouns that refer to basic, physical things, often some languages will have several words where another will make do with one, or have none. It quickly becomes a question of culture.

>>Recurring land value taxes would prevent people from hoarding property as an appreciating asset without putting it to productive use.

Honestly i think more than 1% of developers code for fun, understand at least basic unix, and can clearly see when a system is shoddy and dumbed down.

Maybe a majority don’t, and my experience is definitely biased. But i’ve met many programmers of diverse backgrounds, and a lot are very passionate and research the newest and best technologies on their own. They probably don’t read Hacker News, but I think “hacker” programmers are more common than you realize.
There's lots of discussion about this or that wiki, Notion, etc. but IME this contradicts how knowledge primarily flows in 2022.

Most of the time, when I need to know something, I have a specific question. So I throw some keywords at Google and Google responds (rarely) with the answer, or (more commonly) with a relevant stackoverflow link.

What if you had an internal "stackoverflow", i.e. Q&A platform?

Obviously, wikis and documents still have value. They're important for onboarding new employees and roles and getting everyone to a baseline understanding.

However, 99% of the time, the employee wants to know the answer to an explicit question like "How do I remove a user from X" or "how do I reset/update the Y service". Digging through documentation to construct an answer is a lot of work, and should be cached somewhere other than the employee's brain.

With a SO-style format, you get a) a quick answer and b) context about who answered (without digging through separate history interfaces) and c) an informal log of how processes have changed over time. It's also very easy and informal to add a new question or answer, without worrying about formatting conventions.

Are there tools out there to support this?

I’m a big Columbo fan but it is a work of fiction.

You cannot reasonably pull life lessons from a scripted work of fiction.
None of the local "affordable housing" actions I'm seeing seem like they actually address the problem at the level it needs to be addressed. They give incentives to developers to build a certain number of "affordable" units which must stay "affordable" for X number of years for them to get their tax breaks. In the meantime they build a lot more high-end units and very few mid-level units. Mostly this seems like a gift to the developers. Do we get some more affordable units? Yeah, but it's a drop in the bucket and after some number of years they can go back to market rate. People are on waiting lists for these "affordable" units for years. These units are reserved for people making some percentage of the poverty level income. People in the middle get nothing.

In my area/state they've dropped most of the zoning restrictions for locating apartments and ADUs. So you can add an ADU (a small dwelling that can be rented out), but that takes capital that most residential homeowners don't have. Add to this the fear that by building an ADU your property tax will likely go up very substantially and there aren't a lot of takers.

tl;dr Most affordable housing efforts are currently aimed at people who make poverty level incomes (and that's great). I don't see much locally aimed at providing housing that's affordable to folks in the middle. And as rents rise, more and more folks in the middle are not able to afford housing.
It's weird people seem to disagree with that. Vel' d'Hiv, Drancy are purely French atrocities. Vichy France collaborated extensively with the Nazis. And many far right figures, including Marine Le Pen and Éric Zemmour try to deny that for some reason ( maybe nationalism for them means that the nation can do no wrong? Especially in "the good old days we need to go back to"). It's weird because those things are so easy to verify, and yet people fall for the lies.
Pumps aren't implants, you replace them regularly. They are a massive improvement in care for many people, but they do not remove the daily toil of managing diabetes. Personally, I found a CGM to be even more helpful than a pump.

Closed loop artificial pancreases are the future, but they will still require a large amount of attention and management by the patient.
Yep, I edited my comment.
If you are concerned about using unfamiliar and complex cloud software:

A very reasonable option is ccrypt, which gives you dirt-simple command-line password-based encryption for text files (or any other files). It's available for most linux distros, cygwin, homebrew, etc.

Personally I use my own homemade text editor with built-in AES-256 password-based encryption. It's about as trustworthy as I am, and a tad more friendly than ccrypt.

In either case cloud storage is easy; for example a github repo is nice (preferably a private one) because you have backups automatically in case you mess up, which I have done. I don't use my phone for critical work in the first place (can't trust 'em) so I'm not worried about integrating that.
