> I'm imagining a scenario where two iBuyer companies try to outbid each other algorithmically, driving the prices further and further out of reach of people who are looking for a primary home.

This is just my personal anecdote but... I'm pretty sure when I was rushing to show up to "new listings" on the weekends and waiting in line for 10-40 families to get a walkthrough "open house" wise, I feel like the sellers were going to pick a family that showed up over a Zillow website. What % of closed houses were being bought by families instead of "iBuyers" as you said it?
I was trying to learn more about the ranking algorithm that Alexandria uses, and I was a bit confused by the documentation on Github for it. Would I be correct in that it uses "Harmonic Centrality" (http://vigna.di.unimi.it/ftp/papers/AxiomsForCentrality.pdf) at least for part of the algorithm?
In most realities.

If you list all dimensions of Apple's computing products as a radar chart and as a consumer that chart "shape" meets your needs, you will not find a competitor that meets those same needs on all of those dimensions but is also meaningfully cheaper. You can find comparable devices that are comparatively priced, and you can find cheaper devices that come with a slew of compromises, but Apple is incredibly hard to beat at their own game.

Might be an instance of Goodhart's law: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodhart's_law

If all websites try to optimise for SEO, they undermine the assumption that the evaluation of a search engine is the pure consequence of how well a site satisfies a query.

Strangely, their review covers the fact that the Adobe suite of software had to be updated to support ARM and Metal before you could see the full performance of the hardware without emulation, but they completely ignore this for games.

>With many recent professional Mac reviews, the story has been: Apple makes great hardware, but the software — specifically Adobe’s Creative Cloud — isn’t optimized for Apple’s ideas.

But at this point, Adobe has had quite a bit of time to catch up. Apple has sold a whole bunch of M1 devices — the demand is here, and Adobe has responded. Premiere, Photoshop, Lightroom, Audition, Media Encoder, and more are running natively on Apple Silicon (and After Effects is available in beta). And the story has basically flipped: the Mac Studio now appears to be one of the few computers that can unlock the full power of Adobe’s software.

https://www.theverge.com/22981815/apple-mac-studio-m1-ultra-...

Not that there are a lot of high end games that have been updated to support ARM and Metal that they can test, but World of Warcraft and Balder's Gate 3 are examples that have done so.

The neat thing about Rosetta is that it provides backwards compatibility, not that it gives full native performance.

What I find particularly curious is why exactly did people start to believe posting something or saying something on hackernews can actually have any real effect. Is logical absurdity (doing an action which consumes energy of an effort but has no obvious effect) exactly the force meant to do the work here perhaps? No fun making, actually trying to dissect the logic on which does the magic stand :-P

Sorry i made fun. Really though what is this comment but a spell(ing)? I cast my spelling and expect an effect wether my reasoning is valid or not. Methods that seem to have a compelling causal loop at play get distilled into divinity practices such as "tarot" or "tweeting" each themselves requiring a larger semantic web to make sense of.

Way back in the day, a religious leader was described as a man of the cloth, which sounds eerily similar to todays CTOs leading their monasteries of illuminaries to build out "service fabric". Solomons temple had two columns, both draped with networking.

Just as with hn comments, one can dismiss it all, or one can approach it with suspension of disbelief.

It’s not about violating sanctions, it’s about a system being incompatible with enforcement. Of course authorities will try to go after those that attempt to violate sanctions - they should. This is not a call to violate sanctions. It is a cold reality about the nature of enforcement.

But the system itself, the local laws are irrelevant to the software implementation.

It's hard for me to see how that could be done much faster unless you find a way to parallelize the process, which in itself is a terrifyingly hard problem.

I haven't read your code yet, obviously, but could you give us a hint as to what kind of data structure you use for indexing? According to you, what kind of data structure allows for the fastest indexing and how do you represent it on disk so that you can read your on-disk index in a forward-only mode or "as fast as possible"?

> In my opinion, these changes are effectively supply-chain attacks in their execution. That would make them bad regardless of how correct their expressed positions are about the Ukraine war.

Well, yeah. War is bad. On the spectrum of war badness, obviously, these pranks are pretty mild. But they're bad. It's a bad situation. When at war, people are forced to do bad things to prevent worse things. That's why starting wars is very bad.

Now, sure, you can argue about the semantics about "who" is at war, or whether these npm authors are "really" at war, or why they "think" they're at war, or whether they "should" be at war. You could also get into a discussion about whether or not this tactic is effective (and I'd agree it's hurting more than helping, btw). Go nuts.

But that doesn't change the fact that this is an action in support of a war effort. In wars, principled stands don't win. If you want a particular outcome, you have to pick a side.
> My problem is that this weaponisation is killing off trust.

Trust that all programmers started to place in open source maintainers maybe a decade ago out of sheer lazyness is absolutely insane.

Pulling freshest code out of thousand libraries automatically into the medium security project that you are building is absolutely crazy.

It's inviting thousand strangers to run code on your machine which contains your comercial creation and data. Without any protection whatsoever besides "trust" which is just another word for laziness and being hopeful.

The faster we can ditch this trust, the faster we will develop actual protections, vetting processes, delaying updates, caching, forking, so we can isolate our work from the thousands of wonderfull people all of which are one bad day from wiping all your files.

> There’s no reason for any web developer to make an inaccessible order form in 2022. It’s a form.

Well, that's OP's point - that's your opinion that it's easy. Maybe it's someone writing their own small business website for the first time and it's not so easy for them. They'd be more than happy to take the order over the phone for anyone unable to use their website. But it would be real shitty for their first official lesson in web development to be in the form of a court summons.
The aid NGO question comes down to whether locals can build a self supporting economy and whether the aid is hampering economic development - but it isn't a binary question because you can subsidise farmers or reduce aid commensurate with local supply.

I'm familiar with second order effects, and nth order effects and nonlinear causality. If we restrict Russia's access to Apache Web server, sure, they will eventually develop a local equivalent. So, over time they transition from being disadvantaged to simply leveling the playing field. That's a pretty good outcome, especially if many more open source projects could withdraw from Russia.

This is the most efficient way (IMHO) to raise the average quality of an installation / system, not to strive for a 1% improvement in the top end (while expending 10x the effort in doing so for said 1%, rather than the inverse).

> without me they would be without widgets

It seems like it'd be obvious, but landlords don't actually produce land or provide housing. They roll in and take housing using their superior resources, then charge rent to access it.

In an ideal market, every renter would have the option of being a landlord just like every car lessor has the option of being a car owner. We just need enough housing supply to make investing in housing a risky venture instead of a government-guaranteed winner

> When you protest for gay rights in 2020 it is a virtue signal.

I don’t think this is the case; it’s still legal to discriminate on the basis of sexuality in many states and contexts such as housing in the United States. You may not be able to fire someone for being gay but in many places you can evict them for it.

Additionally I don’t think it’s virtue signaling to protest for gay rights beyond the small number of countries that recognize marriage. There are still countries where gay behavior is illegal, marriage isn’t recognized, and gay panic is a legal defense.

Only things that are absolute needs. You can walk away from a profitable transaction, you can't walk away from one you'll die without.

People are willing to take much more extreme action around housing (and food, medicine, ) than they are most other goods. They're also less likely to agree there is moral justification in profiting from these things. So even when entering these transactions (they must, after all), they may not respect the other party's profit goals.

> In 1965, Alexander wrote a much-cited essay, A City Is Not a Tree, one of the earliest and most trenchant critiques of the dendritic, sprawl pattern of city planning and development.

On the other hand, all dense old-world cities (London, Paris, Rome, even Tokyo, say) are... "dendritic". There's nothing wrong with that, and it has everything to do with the history of the ownership of all the bits of property on the city.

Sprawl is a problem, but sprawl is a new world problem that has to do with its very short history.

We've got about 500 years of old world folk moving to the new world, but the old world has thousands of years of history. Besides new world cities starting from much lower population density overall than the old world already had four to five centuries ago, there's also the fact that the last 100+ years of that history has had personal motor vehicles in it -- that's 1/4th to 1/5th of all the Americas' post-Columbus era, while it's more like less than 1/20th of the old world's history.

You can critique things like this all you like, but trying to do away with the "dendritism" that arises naturally is... unnatural, and requires a great deal of market distortion or use of force. Is that really something we want?

EDIT: Yeah, I probably read too much into that sentence!

This notion that somehow 'FOSS' is a moral ideal that stands above others is rubbish.

If you're helping Russians drop bombs on Mauripool that's a choice.

You can also choose not to do that.

That concerns an 'ideal'.

There are issues at hand of much greater consequence and idealism that 'internet librarians' pretending that they are consequential in this context.

'More Average People', like accountants and teachers, are literally right now upholding their 'ideals' by learning how to use a weapon and defending their homes with their lives against literally the Russian Empire. That is an 'ideal' thankfully none of us will ever have to contemplate upholding.
I was thinking about this in a different context a while back. Basically companies (amazon for sure) utilize open source then make some closed off fork of it while giving nothing or peanuts back to the original open source development foundations. For example Amazon has indisputably made Billions if not Trillions from monetizing Mozilla products. Yet has only donated a few paltry million back to the foundation. While at the same time using the FOSS products to create their own walled garden.

Bitcoin is not more separate from the state than gold and silver, and it suffers many of the same problems.

> You cannot tell apriori a tx is from a sanctioned party

As soon as a wallet is identified as belonging to a sanctioned individual, no further transactions from that wallet will be accepted.

> and after the fact it’s way too late... you cannot undo transactions

This is not necessary. The value of the transferred coins drops because all downstream UTXOs are blacklisted from regulated exchanges. Nobody in the US or any other country that regulates cryptocurrencies will accept the tainted coins.

> blocks and rewards can be mined so that they are unattributable.

This has the same problem as currently unknown wallets that I listed above. As soon as the owner of a wallet is identified, all its contents become tainted. In practice, this means that people will be less likely to accept payment from unknown wallets, which results in market forces that will push for every transacting wallet to be identified.

> We are 13 years in here.

Because the state has ignored the harms of decentralized cryptocurrencies until this point. This is simply about being ahead of the law instead of being above the law.
So they can get of their chairs and dethrone the dictator. It's kind of more important right now than writing software.
