New-build housing in the UK is complete shit[1]: flimsy, shaky construction, no acoustic insulation, little storage, tiny windows, every dimension slimmed down to the minimum, inside and out and slapped together with only the most cursory quality checks. I'd never buy a new build unless it was custom (not that I could afford that compared to the same older house).

But, considering the developers aren't going to charge their ways, I'll remain grateful that there are people who do want to buy the "new" houses (they won't stay new for long, they'll be wrecked after a few years of being lived in) at a premium rather than compete for livable housing.

Somewhat agreed. A city can want lots of things few people use. I'm sure the plenty of people don't take advantage of Central Park or Golden Gate Park yet they are paid for by the government.

Further, stadiums are often used for more than just sports. They're a venue for concerts, fireworks shows, and many other things.

Ubers are cars, just with an extremely high markup.

I had a coworker so proud of not spending money on car. So he commuted on Uber. Over $50/day. That's over $1000/month!

Welcome to Web 3.0
Cities paying to attract sports teams is simply democracy. A lot of people like watching sports and having local professional sports teams. But the number of professional sports teams is limited. Not every city can be an NFL city, and many people are proud that their city is an NFL city. In a city like Los Angeles or San Francisco it might not be so important, but in a smaller city, for a Cincinnati politician to take an anti-Bengals stance would be political suicide. It is never primarily about the "jobs created".

We (Hungary) are spending huge amounts of public money on building stadiums everywhere (dozens and dozens of them). On the linked picture you can see a large-ish stadium built in a small town with a population of 2000 people. The marked place is the house of our prime minister :D He likes soccer.

Does Podman have enough parity that I can run our Compose stack locally? Last I tried (months ago), enough things failed that I gave up, but it would be great if developers could easily develop locally without root (which causes a bunch of permissions problems).
Extensions were a way of connecting the FrontPage editor directly to an IIS server, which provided publishing functionality (i.e. uploads) and basic server management. Ultimately, they were just a bunch of server scripts that responded to commands from the client over an FTP-like connection.

No, you need a physical space.

This is why it is so important to have public funding for the Hackerdome. We need a place where two teams of hackers can compete to see who is the best, and who should go down in shame.

And we can do it all under standardized conditions.

This is too important to leave to the private market. Vote YES now!

In Germany local municipalities for example pay for renovations of churches.

The case I knew from my hometown was that the Church (as in country organization) payed one third. The congregation hat to pay one third as well and the secular municipality also had to pay one third.

In Munich the "Allianz Arena" (named after a big insurance company) for the FC Bayern was also substantially supported by the tax payer. More than one third of the estimated costs were planned to be payed by the government. As they cannot subsidize directly that was mostly the cost of the infrastructure like streets, power, water and so on. The richest socker club in Germany argued that the tax payer has to finance it, as the city would profit from the visitors.

If I remember correctly, BMW got 150 million subsidiaries (from the EU and Germany) for building a new production site near Leipzig as it was seen as helping the development of the former GDR states after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Seems like a regular thing at any scale for any organization/company with enough lobbying power and influence.

I was in the Netherlands for the first year of the pandemic and the local CDC was very hostile to testing until rather late. I believe good studies take that into account.
"Temperature is loosely interpreted as the average kinetic energy of the system's particles. The existence of negative temperature, let alone negative temperature representing "hotter" systems than positive temperature, would seem paradoxical in this interpretation. The paradox is resolved by considering the more rigorous definition of thermodynamic temperature as the tradeoff between internal energy and entropy contained in the system, with "coldness", the reciprocal of temperature, being the more fundamental quantity. Systems with a positive temperature will increase in entropy as one adds energy to the system, while systems with a negative temperature will decrease in entropy as one adds energy to the system."

There's another side to this. The people deploying things with a security group open to the internet and no auth might have been saved by a grumpy network admin forcing them to use a VPN or even a firewall, but that's IMHO only hiding the real problem ( security not taken seriously) behind a thin fence. When that fence gets breached, everything would be up for grabs, so the main difference with "the cloud" is that such terrible security postures are easier and faster to spot ( from both sides).

The example isn't exaggerated at all. Unless you happen to live on a straight bus line to work, it's going to add many hours to take a bus downtown and then out to the office.

Office locations come and go, a house is for the long haul. You're not going to sell and move houses every time you chance jobs.

Population density isn't a great measure for how undeveloped an area is since population isn't uniformly distributed.

Not the same but not totally different. MCU abstraction is simple and more like vintage stuff. So it would closer to an 80s system that executed many routines from memory mapped ROMs -- in addition to system RAM -- with an instruction cache on CPU.

MCUs can have on chip RAM/ROM and off chip [quad] serial RAM/ROM, and even parallel access RAM/ROM like FRAM. Several ways to skin the cat. Or cut the pie, as it were.

Because if a sports stadium was, you know, profitable then there would be businesses tripping over themselves to build them with private money. Instead, it becomes a big lobbying game where a bunch of bigshots all skim money from everybody.

The Chargers were a great bad example with idiocies like not televising a game locally if the tickets didn't sell out and the city having to backstop some number of tickets. San Diego finally managed to kick them to the curb and good riddance.

I no fan of Los Angeles, but I'm sorry that Dean Spanos and his cronies infested LA after we kicked him out.

Out of your shortlist, I would recommend Lisbon. It's not as big but punches above its weight in most of your other criteria.

> Saving cash is actually indeed the best way to prepare for hard times.

Cash is the worst possible holding. Inflation will destroy it.

If you feel higher inflation is coming, holding as much debt as possible is what you want.

Of course, you do want to have enough cash on hand for short-term expenses, say like a year of living. Anything beyond that is very risky.

For what it's worth, I had the opposite experience learning React vs. Angular from the official tutorials. In React, there was a particular mental model that the tutorial aims to convey, and once I got it things started making sense pretty quickly. Angular had just so many details, the motivation for which isn't obvious at first, which made it just a little too much at once and I wound up bouncing off.

There is a particular problem with the React docs at the moment, which is that they still haven't decided what to do about hooks. These were introduced as an entirely new API that was competing with the old class-based one that React developers were familiar with (i.e., they do the same thing, but in a different way). So the way they handled that was by leaving the old documentation using the old class-based API intact, but also made a whole separate section entirely about hooks and how to do things with them. (I wound up largely reading the two in parallel and ignoring the details of the older class-based API; I found hooks easier to learn for the above reason, that there are fewer different complicatedly-interacting details to try to figure out all at once.)

I can't imagine that the long-term plan is to just keep things like this, since it's so obviously suboptimal, but perhaps it's difficult to decide what exactly to do.
I sort of think of design patterns as common code patterns that can’t be abstracted over. In Haskell, I think mtl-style type classes probably count. Maybe also the sort thing the lens library does where it says “any function that looks like this and obeys these laws can be used as a lens”. In Java (especially older versions), this set of things includes a lot of things that are trivial if you have lambda expressions.

I have things from the 80s that, obviously, have lasted a long time. But I have owned things from that era that have failed and been forgotten about.

Heirloom quality is probably still a thing, but only discoverable when an item actually becomes an heirloom.
the latest episode of the economist "checks and balance" US politics podcast touches on what cities in decline can do to try to turn things around:

> Since the founding of America, its people and its economy have moved steadily westwards and, later, southwards. Recently, people and businesses have flocked to Sun Belt states, while cities in America’s old industrial heartland are struggling. What makes American cities boom and bust?

they give the example of Pittsburgh investing in "Eds and Meds" -- education and healthcare -- to regrow the city's economy after the decline of steel manufacturing

Probably why all the countries are using funds legally and illegally to space exploration and space assets.
The federal government could help by removing the tax exemption municipal bonds enjoy should they be used for a stadium. It's not an all encompassing change that would stop all of the corporate giveaways but it would be a start.

I think it’s self evident that React has won for the time being, so there’s no point in evangelising it anymore.

But let me just say: I love Next.js. More opinionated than React, but almost no learning curve and solves probably 80% of the things that bug me about React.
> so the city gets revenue directly

While I understand the community idea, it's still a small minority what you are talking about (at least here, I can't speak for elsewhere like Italy). For the revenue part: most revenue is generated by club sponsoring and not ticket sales. There are a few stadiums which can break even due to renting it out to whomever wants it, againt the will of the clubs from what I precieve.

Then again you might be correct it is a common net positive, but I haven't seen any studies comparing it to the cost of not having one and/or provinding other means of entertainment so it might actually be offset if the population "using" it, directly or indirectly, is large enough.

Panem et circences is still a thing.

Note since bailing out is not actually a good term to describe it: with bailing out the city (almost) never gets the club. It al kinds of messy but generally it's a rent free loan or some other cost negative solution like buying the stadium but renting it out for free... In my opinion sinking money into a bottomless pit is the same if done after or before the fact.
For those interested the O2 detection in comets (at a level of 5-10% of gas) has been a "huge" problem, first, it is a reactive molecule, second, it can lead to explosions (under certain conditions). [That has been suggested before]. Third, O2 should diffuse out (even far away from the Sun) of the interior on the order of 10^5 to 10^7 years (depending on porosity, which is on the order of 60-70% on average. That is volume of empty space is larger than volume of matter !) The ice is also (micro)-porous on comets. Comets, however, are believed to be the age of our solar system.

The study suggests that O2 is slowly diffusing out from deep interior (at constant rate), gets trapped in under-surface pockets of impenetrable material (ice+dust) and under right illumination conditions gets released as the ice sublimates. This is opposed to suggestions that O2 is produced locally from photo or ion chemistry (which was previously doubted already).

Last tidbit, comet Haley data were also reanalyses and show similar O2/H2O (which is this study does not address).

Lol no, a professional sports team is of little "joint benefit to society", at least not of the kind that seriously concerns the government. You may as well argue that the government should be subsidizing new Marvel movies, or Call of Duty, because those are popular forms of entertainment too.

> Also the only way to stop these gifts to private companies is likely with a new federal law banning them. It is simple game theory. These businesses will go where the profit is. Any city or state that refuses pay will lose out until every city or state refuses to pay. The best way to force that is with a federal ban.

No. You can just...refuse to subsidize them. Seems to be working fine for Seattle, where IIRC the renovated stadium for their new NHL team was privately funded.

And if they do go somewhere else, what's the downside? Seattle lost its NBA team a while back, which was a bummer for basketball fans, obviously, but otherwise what was the harm to the city or region?

Plenty of high prestige world cities like Tokyo or London or Paris aren't known for their pro sports teams. They seem to suffer little for it.

For a while, the Olympics were able to basically threaten their way into huge subsidies from even developed countries, but this seems to have mostly gone away now, as everyone collectively woke up from the delusion that the Olympics were a major economic boon worth investing in. Sports team stadiums could easily go the same way.

edit:

Okay, obviously I should've picked different world cities as examples, but even taking those: Tokyo's pro sports teams don't have anywhere close to the foreign popularity that London's EPL teams do. Does that seem to hurt it?
