You're fighting scarcity. You still won't win the bidding war - it just won't be as one-sided.

Stop championing scarcity by blaming scapegoats. Either we limit Canada's crazy-high immigration rate (1% of population every year) or we build more homes which is mostly gated by illiberal zoning laws passed by municipalities. But both of these policies are very popular so you'll be swimming upstream, politically.

While you're at it, you could go after other wildly popular policies that lead to high housing prices, like the primary homeowner capital gains tax exemption (probably, by value, the biggest tax dodge in the industrialized world), and Canadian cities' extremely low property tax rates (0.3% of assessed value in Vancouver, for example).
I first heard of it today.
> I find being able to open + edit notes quickly helps my thought process more,

I use org with roam in Doom Emacs. The org roam notes directory is backed by git.

https://www.orgroam.com/

It allows for using a Zettelkasten style approach to note taking inside of Emacs. The basic idea is small quick notes that are cross referenced, indexed, and searchable.

Doom Emacs is like Spacemacs were access to commands are activated through hitting the space bar while in Evil's command mode.

This way if you stumble across a link or something notable or get an idea you want to hit later it takes about 15-20 seconds to generate a new note card, link it to other ones, and then get back to whatever you were doing before you got distracted.

And then later you can go back and refine and expand on the idea with more note cards and have something you can easily use for a future reference.

Nvim has it's own Zettelkasten-style note taking plugins, of course. But what sets Org apart, IMO, is just how flexible and FAST it is as a text-based UI for writing documents. Makes using MarkDown seem plodding in comparison.

My favorite is, though, reStructuredText. RST was a work of genius.

But the clincher for Org, when compared to RST, ends up being Org-babel. The ability to embed multiple formats into a single document, be able to quickly render those other documents to separate files, and being able to execute source code and maintain state between multiple src segments is crazy effective. Completely awesome if you want to get into literate programming.

This turns your personal text-based notebook into having capabilities akin to Wolfwam or Jupyter Notebooks. Can even turn your indexed notes into an interface for Jupyter or Wolfram Mathmatica if you really want to.

It's pretty nuts.

Having something like that for NeoVim would be extremely nice. With new versions of Emacs having Wayland and Native Compilation it has improved performance significantly, but I don't think it will ever approach to just how fast NeoVim can be.

Note that this is due to legal requirements around discovering a user's age in a "neutral" way, in order to block under-13 users (or varying other ages depending on global jurisdiction). This is called a "neutral age screen". The screen cannot indicate that there will be a lockout, or underage users would just say they were older to get around it. It sucks, but most apps of a certain size and liability profile have to implement it this way.

How's the 3070 going on Linux? I've been away from desktop Linux since ~2006 or so but find myself extremely tempted to go back lately, just I have a 3070 too (with a mild undervolt so it doesn't sound like a leaf blower) and have always heard negative things about Nvidia drivers and performance over there.

Ask HN: Why do you hate SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework)?
I'm asked this question as a dev of 20+ years who found SAFe when trying to solve a communication problem. I'm now a certified SPC, RTE who can teach all the classes and lead engagements.

But I keep seeing comments on here from people talking about threatening to quit their jobs if SAFe is implemented or actively looking because of it...and I want to know where it's all going wrong?

Examples from today: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30944386

Please discuss here or feel free to reach out on Keybase (in my profile). I want to understand and potentially write about it to help fix it.

I got into this thanks to a lot of guidance from Hacker News. Posted a long rant ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17154355 ) about the state of all things agile (largely scrum based) and one of the commenters pointed me to a great book by Donald Reinertson called 2nd Generation Lean Product Development. It's not process heavy, but it is math and theory heavy. I loved it and absolutely advocate for it. When I got a chance to use it with my team it was working great, but I realized I was falling very short with communicating with the rest of the business so I started looking for a more formal process based around his work and that's how I found SAFe.

I went deep on the material because I needed to know how to trim the fat on the processes involved, because it's too much for less than 50 people and I'm happy with the results I've seen.

What SAFe should result in...

- Developers setting the development schedule based on business priorities rather than being handed arbitrary deadlines

- Far fewer meetings because you're trading the 2-3 day PI Planning meeting for dozens of smaller ones over the next quarter

- 2 separate backlogs with a 70% / 30% capacity planning split. One for Product priorities (70%) and one for dev/ops/arch priorities (30%) to ensure that technical people don't have to work with non-technical people to prioritize system level things that they KNOW need to be done.

- Avoidance of last second priority changes due to the agreed upon priorities and plan for the upcoming quarter

- No over-scheduling because SAFe calls for planning based on 2/3 capacity estimate per team per 2 week iteration and then leaves the final two weeks of the PI entirely unplanned as buffer or a 20% time reward for teams who did finish on schedule. The goal is "maximum sustainable pace" and it's one of the reason that "iteration" is used in place of "sprint" because by definition, a "sprint" is not a sustainable pace.

- Better coordination between multiple teams because they have a time to plan it out that doesn't derail short sighted 2 week "sprint" processes

All of these things (and more) can only happen if leadership is in board. If company or product leadership is unwilling to trust their developers to relinquish this type of control and try to maintain a grip on the process, none of it's going to work.
But I bet rent is pretty cheap in those cities no?
90%+ of marketers are bad at their job, but since everyone else is, too, it doesn't seem to matter.

New/incremental sales (think brand agnostic, high funnel terms with intent like boston electrician or cleveland mortgages) are out there, but their costs typically approach the lead's intrisnic value. If you are paying $10/click and converting 10% of clicks to leads, you're at $100 for a lead. Of those leads, if you close 25%, you're at $400 acquisition cost. Maybe great for a SaaS or insurance company with a high LTV, but awful for a plumber with an average call of $250. At this point, paid ads are basically a game of trying to out-optimize your click to lead and lead to sale funnels relative to your competitors unless you want to give all of your margin to an ad network.

You nailed it. You don't need to be in the Canadian real estate to realize that the most people coming to open houses are in fact local Canadians (also from other provinces) looking to move to the warmest part of the country or add another property or two to their portfolio.

The landlords that run the real estate holdings companies are mostly White. They buy up the properties, apartments, condos when they are cheap with the sole purpose of renting them out. Guess who influences local media and politicians. It's not some rich Chinese communist fu er dai they could care less.

The fact is that Canada isn't the all shining socialist paradise that outsiders make out to be. In fact places like Vancouver almost gets a pass when race issues are mentioned because its automatically chalked up as a "social liberal progressive city" compared to other American cities that often get thrown into the "shithole conservative counties"
It certainly took a long time (mid 2010s) for panels in their various guises to truly overtake CRTs for film work. The reason given at my workplace was the calibration control of CRTs took time to be superceded.

The Sony 21" CRTs (and 24" in widscreen) had a very good run -- spanning several decades. They were certainly capable of higher resolutions, but the 1600x1200 was pretty much a standard (or 1920x1200 on the 24" widescreen) for that entire run. I can't think of any other desktop workstation performance 'metric' that was stationary for so long.
The article already detailed why Apple (or most of AAC encoders) have this padding, and a reasonable amount of them are useful. They just need to be smaller.

The author don't actually need it to be"contiguous"; it's just that FFMPEG stream copy is the easiest way to so.

In this sense, Apple don't need to "flatten" their files, they just need to have smaller padding just as what iTunes is already doing when ripping user-provided CDs.
> Part joke part truth: become a game developer. Since I started to make games I spend much less time playing them. Also sometimes I just have to play more diverse set of games to use them reference for my game design job.

I played an unhealthy amount of video games through college, to the point where it affected my grades, and for a few years after graduation. My first job was not in game development, but was extremely gaming-adjacent (3D graphics drivers), where end-of-day QA-testing our latest software improvements would often turn into office-wide Quake deathmatches. I tried the "queue of interesting things" you mentioned, but sadly realized the other things on the list were also problematic: films, tv series, anime, etc. are just another form of "media consumption" which was the root addiction. At some point, I staged a self-intervention and admitted that media consumption, including video games, would not improve me and would not make me an interesting person. Coming to this realization helped me to set all that aside and start doing more meaningful things like dating a girlfriend (later marrying), going back to school for a graduate degree, switching to less passive hobbies, and so on. It also enabled me 20 years later to not get involved with Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and all those other pointless media-consumption time-sucks that we have today. These days, I have so many worthwhile things going on that I literally have no time for a gaming or media addiction.

That has more to do with problems of carb icing and similar on legacy engines.
It's very expensive to get regulatory approval for new engines and even more so to then get approvals to retrofit them to legacy or historical aircraft.
Unfortunately if you put regular pump gasoline in an aircraft you are going to have serious problems. Not least because of the bioethanol mixed in which will degrade the pipes.

> And that's exactly where you loose every average user when trying to convince them to switch from Windows to Linux. I work with Linux every day too but the command line elitism needs to stop.

I have made no argument that everyone needs to use the CLI. I like it, and it is a fair criticism of Windows to say that it makes things harder by not having it. That criticism rings true for me and many others. Some other people with different experiences probably think CLI is hard. That's fine. To each their own.

The comment I responded to accused the author of being disingenous. I pointed out that (1) technical users are still users and (2) there are things that if you're used to a unix shell are simply an absolute pain to do on windows.

> The way I see it, the issue here is that you don't know how to use Explorer features, but instead of looking it up and learning how to use it, you're pushing the narrative that somehow it's Explorer's fault for you not bothering to look up such solutions. It' not like you were born with the Linux command line in your head. You had to take the time to learn all those commands and practice. Same with Windows and MacOS and other OS. You need to re-learn certain mechanics whenever you switch OS and it's not the OS's fault you refuse to do that and choose to remain stuck wanting everything to work the Linux way.

nice! I use that quite often, so it might come handy. Quick question, how did you build that ? Does Google provide any sort of API or did you build a web scraper for that ?
Does a curated list of important papers exist? It would be great to have a guide to this resource.

This is a baby step into charcuterie, congratulations. It's a fabulous world. It is actually quite straightforward to make hams, bacon, pastrami, corned beef, cured salmon, and a thousand more delicious things. Main ingredient and technique is salt and time. There is no possibility of comparing the results of those recipes and the US commercial products with the same names. In fact, a lot of US corporate product disgusts me now, which I suppose is a downside of eating the real thing. Especially ham.

If you're curious to learn more (and you should be!) I recommend "Charcuterie: The Craft of Salting, Smoking, and Curing", by Ruhlman and Polcyn.

I have about worn out that book. Even has fabulous non-meat recipes. I use the smoked ham recipe in the book to convert industrial $2/lb bone-in pork butts into a glorious thing.
I have a guy on me team that commits basically every 5 or so lines. Hell have a 30 line bug fix spread across like 20 commits because he never goes back and cleans up those small commits that get changed afterwards, not to mention he’ll merge the development branch into it numerous times and never rebased. It’s absolutely infuriating reading through git logs that involve his stuff.

His commit messages are equally maddening - “change this variable to 5”, “fix broken spec”, “change variable to 7” ad nauseam…
Where will Chinese/Russian/Saudi millionaires and billionaires now offshore their wealth if they can't do it in Canadian real estate?
There's never a root reason.

But because real estate agents are middlemen in the process, there's an incentive in a hot market to not act as an honest broker.

When the market isn't "hot", a realtor has an interest to move quickly. When the market is hot, they have incentive to move their own listings so they get both sides of the commission. In my case circa 2005, I bid $50k over list via the broker who was managing my home sale. The selling broker "lost" the bid somehow and sold it for $20k over listing price.

7% of 20,000 is close to 3% of 50,000. But... I came to learn later that the selling agent targeted a particular religious community hard, and did a hard sell on insurance, inspection, and even attorneys to buyers, and frequently yielded another 3-5% based on "spiffs" from those providers.

All of these inefficiencies and bad behavior add up and inflate prices.
Yes, because they can keep shifting their imaginary money around and hedging their risk on paper until someone notices the music has stopped and the govt/rest of us are left holding the bag of turds again. (Cf. 2008)
> But I doubt anyone thinks a pan european army can just roll into russia

Actually, that's quite easy as history demonstrates though you can indeed also easily become overstretched. One reason the Russians have stockpiled nuclear weapons is that they do not want this to happen again! They do like to act tough but they know that without nukes they are at a huge disadvantage against the West.
One large reason for high priced real estate in some places is the geographically uneven distribution of disposable income. Historically, people moved to cities because the jobs were there (i.e., physical factories that had to exchange physical goods).

No commuting for work = much less need for roads. If commuting and working in a centralized location is viewed as exceptional rather than normal, society could easily switch to lower density living, which is highly beneficial to most mammalian species (reduced stress, reduced aggression).

If the most lucrative information-age jobs (tech, finance) become remote-first (or better, remote-only) and dominated by shape rotators, people will be able to move away from cities (and take the money with them). Only wordcels, who grift on social interactions, really need high density humanity to thrive.
They are also not political leaders. Besides, to me it's rather unclear what punishable offence they have committed. (I'm genuinely curious. Don't understand the downvotes.)

I almost agree, but I think you've got the causality backwards.

> The end result is we have collectively refused to build enough housing to keep prices stable or decreasing

This is not the result of a hushed down societal decision. The refusal to allow housing construction the cause of the ever increasing prices. As so often, it comes down to basic microeconomics: If you limit supply while demand rises, prices will constantly go up.

I do agree that foreigners, like anyone else, buy homes as speculation because they're guaranteed to increase in value.
Disclaimer: I work on Aserto [0] (one of those new dev authorization systems).

First, it seems like we both agree that having the flexibility to extend a base model is a good thing, whether that base model is OPA or Zanzibar.

I wouldn't call the ABAC scenarios "non-deterministic" - for the same inputs, it should produce the exact same outputs. But those inputs may include data that is sourced from the environment the user is in (e.g. date/time, location/IP address, etc).

Where model you start with is probably up for debate. To me, ReBAC starts making sense when there is a resource context to evaluate. There are plenty of customer scenarios we've encountered where modeling permissions for operations is sufficient, and doesn't require a resource context (or the resource context is very lightweight - e.g. "tenant", "project", "team", "organization", "list", etc)

>OK so selectivity is possibly causal to difficulty and possibly not? So 99.9% of non-selective schools could be as difficult as peer selective schools while the rare exception isn't?

Where the hell are you getting that 99.9% number? I would think someone who went to a good school wouldn't pull random numbers out of thin air.

Selectivity is causal to difficulty. Period. But the causal connection like all things in reality is a connection built upon probability. Think of the luck stat in RPGs. On average the more selective the school the harder. If there's any school that breaks the model, that school is an exception and a minority. Your school might be an exception, but by probability it is most likely not and it is more likely you just think your school is harder.

>At least you finally admit you don't get to feel special about going through something more 'difficult' on account of whatever idea your school had of selectivity.

I never said my school was special or commented about how I feel. If you look at the initial posts, I was telling you that going to a non-selective school ISN'T anything special, because you were the one talking about it.
I'm not speaking to the veracity of any of this, but Dr. Shanna Swan has researched this pretty extensively (and written papers).

> in a /etc/config file that is silently changed by services?

I'm not really invested in the Windows vs Linux thing but config files in /etc never get silently changed or removed. If they are, it's a critical bug, although I've never really seen it happen.

If there are any updates to the service files, they'll be installed alongside the original file. For example, on Arch Linux, it'll be /etc/systemd/journald.conf.pacnew while the original journald.conf file will never be touched.
It's far easier and less time-consuming to squash commits than it is to tease out logically distinct changes from a big mess into separate commits. The latter is particularly troublesome when you require preserving bisectability, i.e. every final commit builds and functions. Being able to bisect saves tons of time chasing bugs.

This is one of those "ounce of prevention vs. a pound of cure" situations.
It's not really amazing, it's just that not everything is in reference to the US system. When Brits comment about their system being a money pit, they aren't always thinking about the US system as their frame of reference. This seems to be a stumbling block for us Americans, or at least for Americans who are passionate about healthcare reform.
