If the zoning laws allowed that yes, Vancouver(similar problems in CA) doesn’t want to rezone , so not lot of supply. It is immaterial what rich domestic or international buyers do as their class of property doesn’t change supply of the property you and I can buy. Same with commercial property no difference to us [1]

zoning makes each class of property non fungible between other classes , it is like price gold doesn’t much have impact on say price of diamonds.

Rezoning benefits the economy and improves the wealth of everyone, even if NIMBYs don’t see it, however it will affect the quality of life of people who don’t want to live in “cities” proper but want the sweet spot where enough density enables them to have niceties of civilization like say neighborhood coffee shops , good schools , hospitals, art /culture/social activists without all the negativities of large cities like homelessness/high crime / poor noise /environment/pollution etc.

There is a racist angle too typically people of color, immigrants and any economically disadvantaged groups will not be able to afford to live in these neighborhoods .

[1] not strictly true for commercial as it can impact demand even if supply is not impacted , i.e. a new big office building is going to draw a lot of workers want to live near by competing for the same housing .

> Was it a business or technical decision to do multi-cloud?

> Did you run simultaneously in 3 clouds? Can you explain the setup?

The solution itself could be running on a single cloud. But we work in the finance sector and targeting highly regulated clients. And we got a tip very early on, that each client could ask for deployment on their cloud account that is monitored by them. Which will probably be AWS or Azure. Today we know only some require that. So it helped somewhat.

> were the savings/benefits of doing this actually worth the engineering costs involved in the end?

Like you said, very hard to know. In our case, we had a DevOps Cloud guy working a full time job, so, it was not noticeable. Reason being, Probably,

[1] Because although he had problems to solve on all clouds, clouds deployments eventually get stable enough, So pressure was spread.

[2] Although all clouds still need constant maintenance, it's a-synchronic (you can't plan ahead when AWS EKS K8s will force a new version), so pressure was spread out and it never stopped client feature building.

But who knows, maybe for other architectures or a bigger company, it would have become noticeable.
This feels very wrong. ~40% of new small businesses will fail in 2 years. If 40% of all small businesses fail, that's completely different. If I model a small business surviving for 15 years on average, conditional on surviving the bumpy start, that would imply the equilibrium is

- small businesses started each year ~10% of all small businesses

- ~40% of those fail within the first two years; that's ~4% of the total

- looking at the more mature/stable small businesses, ~12% will churn over that same period

- total expected: 16% of all small businesses failing over a two year period

- therefore the pandemic represents a 250% jump

If you model a startup living for 10 years on average, conditional on surviving the first two years, the pandemic would cause a ~200% jump.

If you model a startup living for 25 years on average, conditional on surviving the first two years, the pandemic would cause a ~500% jump.
I think the author of the license itself can restrict how it can be used:

I'm thinking of the legal wording for: "This license can only be used in projects which do not impose any other restriction besides the terms of this license".

Then presumably the license author can sue.

> the claim is based on the reduction in air pollution.

That has been heavily improved in the last years by a better car design, better materials, motor burning regulated by electronics and a much more strict regulation in vehicle emissions.

Thus nuclear would be bragging here about other's merits.

Using the same argument we could claim also that combustible fossils had saved millions of lives in the last years because cars now have much more plastic parts than before (reduced weight -> less mass to move -> less fuel spent to move it -> less air pollution).

This attitude of cutting down the upper middle class incomes is baffling to me. On $250k you can probably retire 10 years earlier than normal. It’s nice but you still live a normal life and do normal things.

Why is it normal in your mind for a lawyer to make that? Why a doctor? Why the owner of a small business? Why an exec?

> Not really. Managers don't have incentives to grow their team size; they have incentive to deliver.

This may be true about Amazon but it is not a given in general. Managers can operate in the grey area where they deliver just enough to justify more headcount "in order to deliver more" where the underlying motivation is increasing headcount. Not atypical in political environments like banks etc.

A website[1] that publishes personal information about so-called "enemies of Ukraine". You can browse it yourself.

It includes a variety of information such as names, pictures, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses of people and often their family members too. Some of them are journalists documenting the conflict from the other side. It appears the website has links to the Ukrainian intelligence service (SBU).

Italian journalist Andrea Rocchelli was killed by the National Guard of Ukraine in 2014, and his name was on this website.[2] If you search right now you can find Patrick Lancaster (independent reporter that posts video on YouTube) and Giorgio Bianchi (another Italian journalist who works in Donbas since 2014).

Quite chilling to see it all in the open.

I ran a Minecraft server off a raspberry pi like this for a while. I had the VPS for another project, so stuff was running there, but Minecraft was just too much for it. On the other hand it could run on my pi, but my router wouldn't let me open that up to the internet. So I used SSH to tunnel from the VPS to the pi and it worked pretty well.

It's also a lot easier to show off demo projects like this - you don't need to copy everything to your VPS and figure out how to run it, you just need to have it running on your local machine (e.g. your development laptop) and let other people access that. Obviously that's not a great system for anything long-term, but if you just want to show a friend something you've made, it's quite useful.

From different perspective I was trying Linux every few years in last 2 decades only to surrender it's unusable and gave up trying few years ago.

Btw. on my work laptop I keep Windows 10, I refreshed wife's laptop and deliberately chose W8.1 (instead W10/11) and not even gonna upgrade to W10, I dont see any benefit, I even think in hindsight I should go with W7 for the best performance, that was peak Windows, W10 is still somewhat usable, but from what I read about W11 I am for sure skipping that version and I see no benefits in my daily usage since W7, they are actually making my user experience with each version worse.

I like the idea of switching away from Windows, but sadly app I need for work (golden standard in my field) is not available on Linux and everything else is vastly inferior and not gonna run this power hungry app through WINE if it even worked.

Btw. my Win never restarts itself or automatically installs anything without my approval, seems like OP didn't do basic search to configure system properly.

> Write tests for code that could actually be wrong, or where you need to prove to yourself or others that the invariant is maintained.

Yes, what you need to do in the end, is to use your judgement. But you will get a surprising amount of pushback against this obvious common sense solution. From management who thinks it's too risky, and from developers who have chosen a technical career just because they want to rely on their intelligence, and black and white thinking, and now you're asking them to make trade offs and decisions which is management territory. The way out in my opinion is to make technical leaders that have actual authority, down to the details.

> This just doesn't doesn't make sense to me lol. If that's the case, why would the licensors add more clause? They're basically irrelevant.

Licensor can add extra clauses as long as it doesn't introduce any restrictions to the freedom granted in AGPL. If the new clauses clash with the freedoms granted in AGPL, the license allows users to treat these additional restrictive clauses as not applicable to them. The provision to add more clauses in AGPL is to only provide more protection of the freedom of the user (the main intent of the FSF license). For example, to plug some loophole that the FSF did not consider.

> A user might have wrongly thought that AGPL meant they could resell it, and ignored reading the added clause.

AGPL license doesn't restrict a user from commercialising an AGPL software and redistributing it. So a user cannot be faulted here if they chose to ignore any additional restrictive clause stating that user can only use it non-commercially.

> But they also said that the intended clause from the authors mattered, not the interpretation of the user,

That's the part of the ruling causing the debate - FSF supporters feel in such a case, it means the judge chose to ignore that it is an AGPL license from FSF (thus choosing to ignore the intention and principles behind it), and perhaps chose to treat it a derivative but new license by the author(s) of the software. Hence their ruling that it not "open source and free".

I'm not in mind that there isn't some subset of population that would not benefit from these treatments. What I question is how large it actually is and how big is effect of peer pressure, media trendiness and in general being teenager going through puberty have. Or just children being children. In some ways there might even be over emphasis of gender roles with momentary interest of children.

Now hard part is how to solve these issues without invasive actions and how to separate those who could benefit from such.

I wonder if it really still make sense to develop an editor as a commercial product. This is probably a massive effort, and the revenue is maybe not so large.

There is IntelliJ and Visual Studio. IntelliJ is successful, yes, but they have a long history, and the editor is really good. Visual Studio is maybe also successful but I'm not sure how profitable it really was or is.

But otherwise? Sublime Text and others were maybe successful at some point but not sure how profitable they really were. If you count the amount of development which went into it vs the revenue.

For me as a user, I'm extremely hesitant to use any non-open source editor. An editor is a long-term investment. I would not touch this Zas editor unless maybe in 5 to 10 years when it is widely used by many people or when it has become open source but otherwise not. Yes, it looks nice from a first glance but that is by far not enough.

My personal only exception is IntelliJ because it is so good. PyCharm specifically, although I have used other IntelliJ products in the past, starting with the original Java editor, 15 years ago or so, which was heavily praised by some friends.

But otherwise, I want to be able to extend the editor easily, also its core itself. I want to be able to support it when the original developer stopped working on it. Or port it to other systems the developer does not care about. Or do some changes the developer disagrees with. Etc. I want to be sure that it is in principle possible to run this in the next 10-20 years. Or not only me. The nice thing with open source is that many people think likewise, and then there will also be others doing such effort, like supporting it on recent systems, adding features, fixing bugs, etc. So then it is a community effort.
Tell that to the Nobel Foundation:

> Not a Nobel Prize

As an aside I have the mini bluetooth keyboard. I use it as an external keyboard on my phone to get the on-screen keyboard away when I work on Termux.
I found the keyboard both great and bad at the same time.

It's great because the size makes it ultra portable. It's slighly larger than a credit card and about 1 cm thick which means it slides easily in pockets or even a larger wallet.

The biggest disappointment to me was that it misses the 'TAB' key. It's got all the other needed keys for terminal work many you get through some 'Fn' combo, it even includes combinations to quickly type "www." or ".com" but they somehow missed 'TAB' - I still hope I'm wrong and someone magically shares a combination for this key, or maybe they come up with a v2 keyboard.
Yeah, people in this thread are praising the one time purchase but I'm almost seeing it as a red flag - how do we know a niche product like this will stick around without recurring revenue? I don't know if that's paid major upgrades or similar.

Teach Yourself David Deutsch’s Constructor Theory in 21 Days
Given non-GNOME developers' frustration with increasingly GNOME-centric releases of GTK, and given some of the licensing issues surrounding Qt (such as the one-year delay for FOSS releases of the toolkit: see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25748335), I believe the time is ripe for a BSD-licensed GUI toolkit for X11 and Wayland that uses server-side decorations and tries to be as unopinionated as possible in order to allow for different visions of the desktop instead of imposing a particular vision through the toolkit. In fact, starting such a project is something I've been considering for a long time.

If only had GNUstep (http://www.gnustep.org/) been the toolkit for the Linux desktop instead of the Qt vs GTK/GNOME wars; this would have saved a lot of drama regarding toolkits. Back in the mid-2000's it appeared that the matter was settled during the KDE 3 and GNOME 2 days; a lot of people seemed to be happy with these desktops, and those who preferred non-GNOME Gtk desktops and applications had plenty of options. However, ever since GNOME 3 the GNOME developers have been able to mold GTK to its vision at the expense of other GTK users who didn't share GNOME's vision. Qt is less opinionated, but its stewardship is up to the whims of whatever company that owns it. GNUstep is free from these issues, but it never received mass adoption.

Come to think about it, maybe instead of a new toolkit, maybe we should look into GNUstep some more and consider investing our developer resources into building a GNUstep desktop ecosystem. But I'm curious about what other people are thinking.
Actually, I really do plan on running for something once I'm eligible! (Currently on a visa, though)
