LA was zoned for ~10 million as recently as 1960. While I think you're right that the problem is probably intractable—who would want to give up their house for an apartment, unless maybe a dense, walkable area appeared overnight?—I wonder if there are legislative solutions, like rolling back Prop 13 (which will probably never happen).
Right. I still use google to search reddit. It's that Reddit's content is more directly from people - not marketing departments or SEO optimizers.
Dick Cheney is now a leftist progressive? Bill Kristol is now a leftist progressive?

Are you sure about that? Being anti-trump doesn't make one a leftist progressive.
If I understand correctly, "flag" mostly doesn't come from dang. It comes from other users.

I think dang can flag a post himself, but more likely it's from users. It takes more than one user to mark it as flagged; I don't know how many it takes.

Agreed, it's much better to be upfront about it, to avoid wasting time and money on employees that don't fit in (and, as a side effect, avoid hurting those people).

The reason I believe they're showing a work environment that would be toxic to me, is that the line "> adequate performance gets a generous severance package" does not stand alone, it's only part of it, they're giving me the general vibe that I should be constantly scared of being the next one to go, that my best will only be good enough until they find someone better..

I don't mind competition, there's always competition, but for me personally, I don't want fierce competition and high pressure to be part of my daily life, not outside recreational activities where the stakes are "get fired for doing an adequate job".
I like to do more than is expected, but if what is expected is by definition more than what is needed, well, then I would have to do more than more than what is needed, I don't even know what that is, and I'd not want to constantly think about it and wear myself down from trying to achieve it.

Hi. I'm the lang designer and feature implementor.

To your question of "why?", we tried to cover the reasoning in teh proposal. But, the core reason is that today people do use strings a ton. And in many cases it's unpleasant to do so because you always end up with reasons that you need to escape the content. This escaping serves to satisfy the compiler, but really doesn't buy value to teh user the majority of the time. The idea here is that you can just use a raw-string and say: here's the content, exactly as i want it.
I use the Threads link to see recent conversations. Replies can only come in for two weeks (IIRC), and 99% of replies happen within 24 hours, in my experience.

I'm less curious about late replies than I am about late upvotes. Sometimes karma ticks upward and I can't figure out what people liked. It'd be nice to be able to figure this out — does anyone know if any of the browser plugins offer such a functionality?
it appears that the US is heading in the other direction, with mandates to force developers build % affordable housing. Just let developers develop. Rich people move up, middle people move up, making the cheap places cheaper for low income residents. It's all backwards

Oh nice catch! Corrected this and deployed - sorry about that! it's free to setup & test and our pricing starts at $75/mo for up to 10k monthly users.
It's great when you want to search for niche information. Especially because google won't do all its censoring and boosting on the contents as much as it would on a typical google search. That's the point. Neither Google nor Reddit are actively censoring certain types of information. E.g. what is your favorite nail polish or best ice cream in NYC.

I think we might agree that if you search for anything politically censored on either, you're going to be led astray.
They don't have "zoning" just bylaws that require only certain kinds of structures to be built on certain parcels. They have zoning
Way too many abstractions.
It's important to read the entire document including the notes, which informs the reader of a pretty clear intent (emphasis mine):

> The fsync() function is intended to force a physical write of data from the buffer cache, and to assure that after a system crash or other failure that all data up to the time of the fsync() call is recorded on the disk.

This seems consistent with user expectations - fsync() completion should mean data is fully recorded and therefore power-cycle- or crash-safe.
If I understand GP correctly they use "razors" analogous to philosophical razors [1], as a quickly evaluated rule of thumb to shave away options. "This game is fun" doesn't work for that, because often "does X make the game more fun" requires prototyping X and having some people playtest it. You can definitely make great games that way, but you are not really applying a rule of thumb anymore.

Compare that to "is this usable in multiplayer", "does it serve a narrative purpose", "can we show it in a trailer". All of those are quick to answer (but not all of them make for good games).

Apple absolutely has zero incentive to support RCS as a fallback. Not only that, it's not only been inconsistently supported by Google despite existing for... decades, now?... but isn't even supported by all carriers!

https://www.androidauthority.com/rcs-google-3090142/

> In a word, RCS is like SMS, but better. Except that it isn’t. Not every operator has enabled it yet. Not all phones support it. Not every implementation is the same — especially in terms of encryption since that bit is optional. And even if you download Google Messages and use the now-supposedly worldwide ‘Chat features’ there, you’re still at the mercy of Google’s servers which can go down or become buggy any time. Which they have done rather frequently.

> RCS is also completely reliant on your phone number being active when you send or receive messages (note: Apple stores iMessages for some time offline). This makes it intricately linked to your carrier bill (h/t Ron Amadeo for bringing this into the discussion). If you happen to miss a payment or have an issue with your carrier, or if you live in a country where number portability is difficult or nonexistent, your line goes down and so does your ability to use SMS and RCS. This is unlike IP-based chat services where you can connect back at any point in the future, get all of your pending messages, and continue where you left off.

Google probably guessed (which was reasonable) that an app like Whatsapp would come along and handle this market... which wasn't entirely false... but instead it's been fractured across many apps like Whatsapp instead of having a unified feature set (such as iMessages', such as: end to end encryption, reactions, high resolution photos and videos and livephotos, voice texts, offline storage of messages until devices come back online, smooth transition to a high resolution audio or video chat (Facetime Audio or Facetime), etc.) And Whatsapp STILL doesn't have features I'd consider basic at this point, like Tapbacks: https://www.engadget.com/google-messages-android-imessage-re...

So now Google is realizing that this was a mistake (perhaps due to the unexpected "luxury appearance" of "blue-message cachet") and is NOW pushing hard for RCS... too little, too late IMHO.

As an iPhone user, my messaging is currently scattered across: mostly iMessage, but some Whatsapp and Facebook Messenger (and a smattering of others now and then like Signal). The advantage of the top 3 of those for me is that I can also send and receive them from my laptop... something that RCS also DOES NOT provide. In last place behind all of these we have SMS messages from Android users, where messaging is less reliable (I have literally gotten into fights with people due to missed messages!!), sending a photo along with text either fails or downsamples the photo to a thumbnail, etc. etc. etc. At least I can send and receive SMS to Androids from my laptop in iMessages, through my phone when it is nearby.
"Cars, power tools and horse wagons were also new sexy technology once upon a time, but no-one calls companies making those products "tech companies"

I think I have heard Tesla to be described as a tech company, once or twice. And with Bosch, my favourite power tool company, the same. I mean I am not a english speaker, but it would be really news to me, that "tech company" is defined as "brand new tech".
> No state is incentivized to make zoning more lenient.

Zoning is largely a local issue. And zoning is talked about a lot at local council meetings. The problem is people have very strong opinions when it comes to how the place they live will change. It's trivial to get a sizable contingent of people to oppose zoning permits.

There's a huge argument going on a few towns down from me as to whether a 100yo, vacant building in disrepair should be torn down to make room for a community center. One would think this is something obvious that would go unchallenged by locals, but nope.

Making zoning a state issue would probably help a lot, but it would piss off home owners. Even early champions of the change are going to hate it when their neighbor's houses get torn down so that a casino or something can be built in their place.
Because I suspect YC minimally maintain HN. Not specifically a bad per-se, but don't expect anything new to happen.
Yeah I still can’t believe they did that, basically allowing someone to occupy your property and there’s nothing you can do about it. At least the state I was in paid me for all the outstanding rent, but this kind of thing is also increasing prices because I know that the tenants had money and were still spending it, just not to pay their rent. I still haven’t been able to get a rent check and they are planning on submitting it all to housing relief again. I increased the rent to match the market (still very low for a single family home, 3 figures) and I expect the government is going to pay me.

I can’t wait to get out of this situation because I hate it and feel like I have no control over my property but the government incentivized them to not pay rent.

For now, I am also incentivized to not put them out on the street and deal with all that if I think I am ultimately going to get a fat check from the state. I expect this is not going to end well for anyone.
"Traditional" home automation tech does exactly that angle. Turns out "upgrade every existing switch" does not have the mass-appeal over a lot cheaper "replace one thing, do a bunch of things with thing" offerings. Most people need to have the latter before they get the appetite to invest in the former. As annoying as they are, "smart" plugs/bulbs are a lot easier and cheaper to deploy in many cases.

It's an interesting balance IMHO. If you can control everything you can build a lot on top, but even just being able to control a few things might already provide you a lot of benefit.
I trust my password manager (keepassxc) because

(1) I believe in the fundamental goodness of humans.

(2) I believe that keepassxc being a Free Software, was made with honest intentions by competent people.

(3) That human society should be organized on the principle of mutual aid, and that involves trusting (initially at least) those who say they intend to aid you.
More-permissive-than-AGPLv3 for service-based software creates a potential (or, I'd argue, likely) route towards large-platform capture and resale of the value of those services without upstream contribution in return, followed at a later date by the turning-down and closure of the software products and communities behind them.

That's the strategy that the platforms have, I think - for rational (albeit potentially immoral) economic and competitive reasons. I'd like to hear if you disbelieve that and/or have other reasons to think that permissive licensing is superior long-term.
"I realize this is a bit petty"

It is, and very American-centric. Plenty of innovative people are born in poorer countries with much less resources at their disposal. Indeed quite a lot of American top scientists are immigrants from not exactly rich places.

Of course, even they are sort-of privileged by the fact that they weren't born blind, on in a period of outright war, or didn't get cancer at the age of three. But this is already stretching the meaning of "privilege".

Katalin Karikó, one of the main brains behind mRNA, grew up in shabby Communist Hungary and her lab equipment at her home university was likely worse than what a median high school in the U.S. has at its disposal. (There wasn't much convertible currency east of the Iron Curtain to buy top stuff, and not enough capacity to manufacture it locally.)
Therefore any conspiracy that we can propose the CIA is involved in must be true.

I am imagining the CIA being involved in... hm.. yes, I'm getting an image of bears. Bears being trained to sabotage Russian airbase fuel supplies.

We have many examples of this happening. We know the CIA employs animal handlers. We know bears are very trainable. Given the CIA's use of Dolphins, it isn't a leap to recruiting Russian bears.

Your argument has nothing to do with cloud storage or password managers generally and seems to be an argument against automatic updates. So, fine, disable automatic updates (although I'd argue you're safer with them).

I also baked in the presumption that the software isn't malicious in my comment and called it out. So, sure, yes malware that leaks your password can exist. That doesn't really have any effect on whether password managers are a good thing or trustworthy.

But not in that order. Hire the attorney, and ask them about whether and how and where to report.

An attorney will know how to navigate this in a way that protects you.

I'm reluctant to say that it is impossible, because there are so many clever things that have been done with Haskell's type system that I can barely understand how to use, much less how to design those systems (like Servant's typed URLs). But from a naive user point of view, I don't see how its remotely possible to develop Ecto-style (or ActiveRecord style) associations with selective eager pre-loading, and typed validations against arbitrary trees of data with such a strictly typed system. And I think I've looked at every SQL library for Haskell and none of them really approach it.

I'm sure its possible to build something that compiles, but it would be so awful to use that you are better off with hand-written SQL where you need it, and N+1 stuff where you can get away with it.
Online courses? You can find language learning correspondents too, like pen pals but with video chat.

Plus most US universities have resources for students whose first language is not English, probably most countries have something similar. Picking it up by immersion is hard but it’s supposed to be the best way to learn
I wonder what would happen if it caused a large enough vanlife bubble.
Ideally I should be able to copy things directly out of 1PW. right click, copy. Or the app should use a widget that supports click/drag.

It took me a while just to DISCOVER the steps to getting a file out of 1pw, which involved a lot of false starts into different menus/screens that allow you to view the file's metadata (or preview) without actually getting the file.

Considering "copy field" is THE main functionality of 1PW, it's absolutely insane you can't just copy a file field.

the comparison to me is having the file in my downloads/desktop, which is a very simple procedure to do, as many or fewer clicks, and is a well-worn path.
I'm working my way through `Endurance: Shackleton's incredible voyage` by Alfred Lansing after it was recommended in another recent HN comment thread. I really like it so far.
Well, there isn't a specific problem its made to solve. Instead, it's more of a learning project, but intended to be a fully-functional one of course. Also it'll be a general purpose programming language, so can be used for anything.
Yes, and they help protect as well. The percentage of folks who even ask will be low.
I run a self-hosted instance of a Bitwarden compatible server. It’s only available locally on my local network. So, when out and about, I VPN back home.

Not sure it’s the best way to do it, security wise, but it’s what I found works for me in a security/convenience trade-off
It astounds me that more homes weren't wiped out from the Northridge earthquake. A lot of the housing stock in California in particular is like rotting toothpicks on eroding sand for a foundation. At least the homes generally lack basements so they will only fall a few feet off the posts. This particular reddit users is a contractor that posts their typical finds from structural inspections. People are paying between 800k-5m for the homes featured, generally:

https://old.reddit.com/user/DMAS1638/submitted/

Where you see winters homes are generally even in worse shape. Basements are leaking and eroding your foundation. Roofs are leaking and rotting your studs. Poor insulation is costing you a lot more money than in California. Chances are your water mains and sewer situation, both from your parcel as well as the municipal lines on the street, are all approaching end of life. Right as climate change brings heavier rains and flooding that stresses infrastructure where there isn't money as it is to maintain it even for old climate projections.

Partially unrelated, but:

> Courts interpret the purpose of copyright pragmatically, as inducing authors to produce and disseminate works with the temporary grant of valuable exclusive rights.

I really do not understand how it is constitutional to retroactively extend copyright. How does this "promote the progress of science and useful arts"? It does the opposite, wherein copyright holders are encouraged to spend more time on works they have done where they were happy with the original copyright contract.

(The same can be said of copyright extending after death.)
I think the core thing here is that in a lawsuit a user can now point to an explicit action that they took, and the apps decision not ignore that decision, despite having agreed to obey that decision as part of the use of that app.

The fact that stuff like this isn't caught in the automated portion of review is fairly appalling though.
I work on the code every day! or at least if I don't, it's a bad day.

There are a lot of changes, just mostly not visible, or only subtly visible. That's on purpose, because (a) users hate design changes and (b) pg-style minimalism is encoded into the DNA and it would be a mistake to mess with that.
No they wouldn't count. We need to explain this better in our docs so thank you for bringing this up, it's on my to-do list now. Oh, btw we do not use cookies so if your site didn't need cookie notices before, you won't need them after adding 1flow.
> I like to use "location state" which is our API into the browser's built in `history.state` ... Location state, unlike typical "global state", automatically persists across both refreshes and back/forward button clicks, but dies with the session, so scroll restoration will work as expected even for a refresh! Built in browser APIs tend to be a bit more resilient than storing stuff in application memory, they also keep your bundle smaller.

This sounds great! I never thought of using history state to store arbitrary data. Thanks for the explanation!
FRED shows housing prices in aggregate rising in Japan

If a growing region is declining, I would expect building to be outpacing growth, or a cultural trend away from wanting to own (reduction in demand for purchasing despite growing population)
I think it's just an example to give you a conceptual idea of what 'pass' is doing under the covers. Of course, using 'pass' does not require 'echo'ing your password anywhere.

Tangentially, if you precede a command with a space, then it won't show up in your shell history. (Double check to be sure, as this is likely a configurable option of your shell. e.g., 'histignorespace' in zsh.)
Only online connectivity is required, an Apple ID is not. Of course, if you want to use apps you’ll need an Apple ID.
why are you furious on REIT? They are pouring money into housing, at at time when we need more housing. It's not a problem. The problem is that we're not building enough. And a big part of that is zoning
>but that Bing and DDG have improved so much that they are now on Par

Worth noting that these are essentially the same. DDG scrapes a handful of sites but they lean heavily on Bing's search API (or Yandex, if you search in russian).

It would be interesting if there could be some independent consumer group that would be able to grade search engine results and compare them regularly. To not only hold them accountable but give credit where it's due too.
Because it is a feature.

It is one of the last and most triumphant remnants of the era of forums.

You log in when you want; you read things you want to read, when you want to read them.

It is not a cult of personality revolving around who replies to what. The idea, the object is centre stage -- and that's the way it should be.

It is not a social network. It is a news aggregator where comments add to, and revolve around, the links submitted and the ideas they represent.

This is a place for exchanging knowledge.

There really aren't many places like HN around, and I treasure it.
