Wow this brought back memories! In the late 90's, I got to work on SGI machines at college learning 3D animation in Maya v1! The school had 4 labs with about 30 SGI O2's in each; all networked with no security. I could send messages from my workstation to the teacher's open terminal session.

No one there knew (or cared to learn) IRIX. When they converted the biggest lab to Windows NT4 everyone abandoned the SGI machines. Which worked out great for me, because it was much more peaceful in the SGI labs compared to the NT4 lab. Some of those StarCraft matches could get kinda rowdy!
It is dumb.

It's an exersize in shifting money from relatively lower income renters who will never have enough money for a downpayment and who will never own a home, toward the relatively rich on the cusp of being able to buy.

Of course the main winner here is the home builder.
It's too difficult to define misinformation to use as a concept that restricts free speech.

Just look at how much we've learnt about corona viruses these last two years. Many widely accepted truths today might have been considered misinformation early on in the pandemic.
> I don't think linux is ready for prime time.

I still don't really understand why people say this, but it made me a little worried when making the switch from macOS two years ago. My experience has been incredibly smooth. I run arch on a System76 Lemur Pro and, for the most part, this has been the most problem-free system I've ever used. I had some kernel issues at some point which were solved by just keeping the kernel version back until the bug was fixed. By contrast, I never had that option on macOS when something stopped working or became annoying.

I have a number of colleagues who use various flavours of ubuntu on different machines (Dell, Lenovo, etc.) and do almost no configuration and they seem to be perfectly happy (with a small exception: compositor issues when sharing screens on zoom, but that seems to be it).
They are buying properties that is well outside what locals can afford.

Banning them won't stop local Canadians with access to literally free debt to leverage their real estate portfolios and rental properties.

Neither will their investments in REIT companies that snap up new properties to flip them to those groups.
HAH! The last org I was in at my previous company said they were doing "SAFe", and we did basically _none_ of these :) (Then again, I have no idea who if anyone in the entire org ever had any training on SAFe at all to begin with. I just know I saw slides with the SAFe logo on them during various planning events.)
I have a good friend now who went in for his third class medical in October 2021, the doctor flagged a prescription he had previously been taking (but was no longer taking), and wanted clarification from the FAA. Now in April, it's still in the "review queue". Meanwhile he's grounded, with no end in sight as to when the answer will be returned.

Not only that, but once it's cleared, the medical date will be retroactive to October, so the renewal clock is ticking the whole time he can't be flying.
It felt like one because the original comment puts anyone who doesn't willingly support advertising claims as not knowing how advertising works. The classification creates a false dichotomy whose classification is "only a group that does not know advertising would do X."

These are hallmarks of a no-true scotsman.
Unit tests are never a tool to prove stuff to managers/customers/stakeholders. They are a tool to prove to yourself and your teammates that your code works and have some reasonable amount of confidence that it will continue to work when your teammate (who might be fresh college grad hire with no experience) changes it.

Testing has nothing to do with engineer ability or experience. Regardless of that you can always make a mistake. And even if you are a rockstar Sr dev who never makes a mistake, in the real world any piece of code is gonna get worked on by people of all skill levels and experience so the idea that "a senior engineer wrote it so we can just trust it" doesn't work even if one accepts the assumption that you can just trust the code from an experienced dev. I am against 100% coverage requirements as well (except for perhaps dynamically typed languages) but I would still expect a reasonable amount of coverage and that coverage include good tests.

> It's insane how quickly Nvidia and Intel X86 consumer hardware made SGI workstations overpriced and completely obsolete within the span of just a few years. The '90's were a blast.

Let's at least give some credit to 3dfx Interactive for PCs dethroning the 3D giants. There was a time practically everyone playing Quake had a Voodoo card.
Is it so far fetched to assume some realtors may be juicing the bidding to increase their own commission and to make their firm more uhh "prestigious" by being able to drive up the price for their own marketing purposes further down the line.

Likewise if you dont know who you're bidding against, how do you even know the bidder is even real (foreign or not)? Transparency is good thing.

While there may be some "scarcity" not having full transparency and realtors not in alignment with their own clients needs is a step in the right direction.

(I use scare quotes here because while I know we're not building enough but the current market has a fair share of retail speculation, institutional investors inflating prices, and homes held as purely places to mark money(non-owner occupied). Scarcity is real and building does need to happen, but thats slow and expensive. Millions of homes are kept empty or as poor speculative investments and thats a problem)
The "theory" relates to increase over time for a single location, not differences between 2 locations at a single point in time. But to stick to your example, investors are more likely to flock to a location with greater returns. At the same time, Lubbock hasn't exactly remained stagnant.

You missed the point. The point was that 65 CVEs mean that you should at least have rebooted your PC 65 times. No judgment on whether that's few or many CVEs.
We all know that on an intuitive level, housing can never be affordable again in the West. At least in the areas that are currently out of reach for most people. The outlands, maybe, remain inhabitable but far removed from major cities. There’s no policy out there that will, by the time you wake up tomorrow, bridge the twenty-fold gap between what majority of people in the country make and what an apartment (never mind a house) costs.

This isn’t a matter of supply and demand, of investors taking 80% of all new houses, of foreigners laundering money, or of NIMBYs. These are all red herrings. These are all secondary effects of a bigger problem. These are all ways to ignore the real problem.

No amount of policy will slash house prices in Toronto by half, and no policy will double your income to match the increasing prices.

I suggest you stop looking for policies, because by the time any of them take effect and reverb through society, long enough time would have passed that you’d spend your whole life renting and paying off someone else’s mortgage anyway.

Now ask yourself if that’s the future you want, and act accordingly.
Yeah the faces were alright for the time, but everything else wasn’t great. The environments in particular were pretty bad. The opening scenes of the movie have the characters flying through a burnt out wasteland and it really, effectively looks like a 16x16 texture has been draped over several square kilometers of mountains. Texture filtered, so no giant chunky pixels, but it still looked awful. Absolutely no detail. And this was one of the first things you saw in the movie!

Also it was just dreadfully boring, which is basically the worst thing a piece of entertainment can be, even worse than the visuals.
I'm already "clean" for 4 months

I moved to a different country 10.000 km away from home this year, that was also a reason why I wanted to cut the game off my life. I had lot of stuff to do. Now I am already established in the new country with some spare time in hand that's why I wrote this post
I wouldn't expect people to have to change that setting often, and 1 second seems very reasonable to me.

So yes, `Regexp.timeout` is supposed to be a default setting for the app, and when really needed you can override it with the `timeout:` key.
not good people who plan to develop long term relationships. A good recruiter can place the same person many times over the years. But not if they lie.
Yes, that secure channel thing was a bummer. I saw your Stack Overflow question a couple of days ago (I seem to be your sole upvote on it) and tried to come up with some kind of workaround, but no dice. Not a problem for me personally, but I was hoping I could get you some idea. It's still bugging me.

Question - Does secure channel come into play on every git operation? I would expect that it only comes into play when dealing with a remote repository (e.g. clone, push), right?

If so, what's the breakdown of your git operations that requires remote repo access? Would it help if you pushed using Git for Windows but did most of your other operations in WSL?

I had a company that wanted to move from AWS to GCP. This was a top-down decision that was made with an incompetent "tech lead" stating that we could move everything and save money with the 10 year commit hundred million dollar contract in Google.

It failed, horrendously. Even though multiple people in the organization were calling out how bad of an idea it was they still moved forward. Google has some nicities with how things connect, setup, etc, but at the end of the day they are cloud providers and not everything they provide is a silver bullet.

This project was canceled after 3 years after spending millions on migrating since the migration was not a drop-in replacement (no one thought it was except the "tech lead").

There are a lot of things besides tech that can affect these projects. If you hire AWS experts and they are having to be AWS experts expect to need to hire GCP experts.
Actually this is correct but something that supports this point is the:

In the end, everything is pointless and it can be either depressing or liberating.

So all you described - just do the things that you feel are enjoyable or meaningful - it doesn't have to be a startup, it can be as much as caring for elderly or even running naked in the forrest, whatever it is.
You must have a really weird definition of “comparing”. If I ask “isn't the elephant pink or fastº, does that mean I'm comparing pink color with speed?
I have the exact opposite problem. I own at least a dozen game consoles and a gaming PC, and have a huge attach rate for all of them. Games look fun and interesting to me, I watch reviews and follow industry news and get hyped for new games etc, but I spend very little time actually playing them. I rarely spend more than 60 minutes playing a game before I get this weird mix of boredom and anxiety, like the contrivance of the game becomes highly apparent and I feel like I should be doing something else. Despite owning literally hundreds of games, I can count the number of games I've beat/completed on both my hands. I'm nearly 40, married with kids, but this behavior dates back to when I was a youth/teen and had loads of free time.
Thanks for the correction! So the more correct statement would be that Facebook scaled to 100 million users with PHP, MySQL, and Memcache, and then to a billion users with Cassandra and Haystack, and then built all the other stuff after their first billion?
Ask HN: How do I prevent my phone number from leaking via LinkedIn?
Sometimes when I am bored I like to pick up unknown caller/spam calls just to see what they are peddling, and this morning I was in one of those moods. However, when I answered I was surprised to hear a real person on the other end of the line that knew my name, my employer, and my role. They were trying to sell me on their startup product which is aimed at people in my position.

I was quite surprised how he had all this information on me, and I asked where he got my phone number thinking perhaps we have a mutual connection that put us in touch. Instead, he said he found me and my phone number on LinkedIn. We had a bit of back-and-forth, and I politely ended the call.

I have double checked, and there is no phone number connected to my LinkedIn account. Instead, I suspect this seller has some sort of Chrome extension which is adding extra contact info metadata to public LinkedIn profiles. With that, a seller can look for people with my job title, and then use that contact info to do cold outreach.

Is that likely what happened in this case, or is there another avenue I am not considering? How might I prevent these creepy calls in the future? I suspect if there are 1-2 large players who offer this service I could ask them to delete my data. I don't want to delete my LinkedIn account over this as I have found it relatively handy.
I'm sure the executives at these big corporations would love to see stock prices go up if they could find a few extra million dollars per quarter in useless revenue negative activity that they could easily cut while having no impact on sales.
> technically correct, the best kind of correct

While this is true, the UX of PS/pwsh and default cmd differs enough what to me their behaviour is differs enough to treat them differently.
The entire culture of b2b startups IME is "yes we're burning money now, but just you wait till Moby Dick comes along... just implement XYZ features marketing/sales says are important and we'll have him in no time!"

Of course, this is somewhat tautological: if they weren't burning money, they'd just be a company. Startup phase complete.
Just letting you know I (truly) appreciate your points here and also how much time they must have taken to write, and I will get back to you. If I don't reply immediately, give me some time. I'll try to reciprocate by putting some serious thought/time into replying.
A corporation can have economies of scale, which could (in a free market) mean lower costs to renters, and also be less subject to the landlord's personal circumstances, which should make rental agreements more stable.

Obviously the property market isn't functioning like a free market, but why do you think that having more private landlords would make things better?

Do you just want a limit on the share of the property market in a given location that one entity can own? That would definitely make sense.

I built a desktop browser extension version (100% open source and GPL licensed) of this basic idea or side searching filtered to some sites only. It also just uses your browser's default search engine (so you can stick to DuckDuckGo for example). Usually I don't like to plug on HN but thought this is uniquely relevant.

It shows reddit (also HN, and others when relevant) filtered results in a sidebar for Google queries. It's auto expanded when there's a non-navigational query with no onebox (this is a increasingly becoming a good indicator of when Google is lacking decisiveness in a query).

I thought WASM was considered slower than JavaScript only for the use cases where heavy usage of DOM is necessary. Since that's not available through WASM it needs to make a call to a JS function to perform the DOM manipulation and that incurs extra overhead.

I think these cases will just never be good for WASM. DOM manipulation heavy Apps (which is a good chunk of JS code out there) may continue to be in JS and only the CPU intensive tasks would be computed in WASM.

Isn't that the best practice for WASM?

Read the small print:

The foreign-buyer ban won’t apply to students, foreign workers or foreign citizens who are permanent residents of Canada, the person said.

They did this stunt here in New Zealand too, where "foreigners" excluded Australian Citizens, Singaporean citizens, and permanent residents.

Anyway, prepare for the media (and public, because the media determines how we talk) to use the term "foreign buyer ban" forever.
Last I heard about Stephen Wolfram (10-15 years ago) he had gone down a rabbit hole of trying to use cellular automata to model all of reality. I guess this "ruliad" concept is where he ended up. I can never figure out whether there's any actual substance there -- every time something of his gets posted it's a long, abstract article that links to multiple other long, abstract articles, but I never get any sense of something like "...and this is how you get special relativity" or "this is how you get Maxwell's Equations", or even something abstract but relatively concise like Noether's Theorem. Maybe I just don't know enough higher math and physics -- is there a more concrete explanation of any of this?
Uber was just an obvious con that demonstrated the danger of unrestrained capital and an era of ineffective government.

Real Estate isn't a regulatory trap; it's an information trap. You can buy and sell property direct. All of the legal stuff is (nominally) done by attorneys. But the association of realtors controls the listing service and makes discovery easy.

Like all salespeople, realtors add "value". When you've been in 2,000 houses, you pick up insights that are useful and learn about neighborhoods. The information is used for both good and bad purposes.

Most of the disruptors do stupid shit with stupid investor money or integrate with the existing players and add some value.

Not everyone at Microsoft agrees with that stance, or they would have never created PowerShell.
I was talking specifically about efficiency:

> Despite regular criticism, the National Health Service (NHS) is effective when comparing the government spend versus the outcomes of human development and lifespan. While critics point to Switzerland achieving the lowest death rates in Europe, or Germany having a consistently quality health care system, they don’t compare these to the level of expenditure.

> In fact, the UK has a higher life expectancy than Germany, with lower health care funding than in other large economies. The Swiss spend $3,079 more on health care per person than the UK, while Germany spends $1,993 more per person than the UK. Critics can’t ignore these massive differences in expenditure when debating the outcomes that the NHS provides. If the UK matched Swiss expenditure per person, an additional $206 billion would be spent on health care annually.
I find that state laws make a big difference in quality of life, so it is not sufficient to be in a city with people whose politics match yours. You also need to be in a state where the political power rests with people whose politics match yours. On the state level, all the analyses I have seen indicate Ohio will be "red" going forward.
It's an understandable impulse to assume that every article is framed in reference to the thing you're passionate about, but considering renewables weren't generally feasible (i.e., hydro and geothermal are older but not generally available for obvious reasons) until relatively recently (and even still, its feasibility for reliable base load generation is dubious), it's a certainty that this article is positioning nuclear relative to fossil fuels, not renewable energy. Even if renewables were available the whole time, it's perfectly reasonable to talk about the lives saved by nuclear even if renewables would save a few more (and to be very explicit, the renewables-only crowd reliably exaggerates the lives saved--some renewable energy sources kill more people than nuclear, even when accounting for disasters like Chernobyl).

By your argument, New Iroquais should be owned by the original people that lived there.
The issue is foreign capital in general.

Due to history and geography, in Vancouver's case it's largely money from Hong Kong, Mainland China and the United States.

For London for example, it's from Russia and other places.

I don't know. I found my 4 years living in Toledo to be not be very attractive. Ya, they have some nice forests, but it is so flat and economically depressed (but true on the landing there by accident). But for all that, Toledo is a much better place than Vicksburg Mississippi (where I spent the next 4 years of my life).

Depends on how you read it. His writing is very playful and he tries to break up dense parts with a lighter part or an allegorical retelling of the previous info.

I'm a pretty quick reader, so the first time I read it I got through the first third easily but then had difficulty and quit. The second time I read it I took it more slowly and did the exercises and got through it without it feeling weighty. Even if you don't want to do the exercises/examples in it, I'd say it's still worth reading and a good chunk of it very readable without playing along - you don't HAVE to get to the end to get something out of it.

It gets denser as you go on because it builds on previous arguments, but if you take the time to absorb what he writes and do exercises it never gets super dense. It's kind of like in math when a symbol will represent a whole idea - if you already know that idea well it won't feel dense, but not knowing it so well will slow you down.
Thanks, Will! It's awesome having you in the Redwood startup community, and blown away by the work you're doing at Everfund!
