I find it interesting that I keep seeing these document-driven approaches to game development. You can also see this in some of the more advanced online DnD engines out there. Documents and update streams are simple but super powerful. I think Firebase is also similar?

What's not explained is how a real-time game would handle prediction and latency. On the local network the Among Us clone is probably alright, but could have both input lag and unusual movement with any latency. From what I can tell there's an onTick that is moving the players on the server, but no local prediction or synchronization that usually makes these run well. Maybe I'm overthinking things -- most TVs have 50ms~ delays on standard settings and we adapt. This could have less.
Is org file/babel something limited to org mode? I havent come across these yet.

You cannot claim that the only people who are against Putin are those who took part in illegal protests that are punished with hefty fines and arrests. Not everyone is that brave.

While Putin might have high rating in the polls, his party United Russia could win only 50% of seats in Moscow Parliament in 2019 (after most popular independent candidates were not allowed to be in the ballot). Furthermore, members of United Russia nominated as independent candidates to hide their party affiliation. If you believe that only ten thousands people are against the government then how can you explain this?

Another example is that Navalny was denied to register a political party for many years. If he has only 1% or 2% of supporters, as propaganda claims, why deny registering a party? Let him take part in election and get his deserved 1% with a disgrace (by the way, in 2013 Moscow Mayor election he got 27% of votes and obviously that was the last election he was allowed to take part in).

So from the above facts I can conclude that Putin's support is not absolute. There are reasons why he doesn't allow to hold fair elections, why protests are not allowed, why all major mass media are controlled by the government and Internet is censored. You don't need this with true 80% voter support.
Supposedly they are alive and well in U.S. hospitals.
Hence calling it a UI, but yes, you are right.
It seems like "monopolistic" is the load-bearing word here, and it doesn't apply for writing tools. People write in lots of different editors.
Interesting, thanks... do you have any docs on how we might achieve this with Next.js? Am I right in thinking we would have essentially a custom Edge Function first that handles query params, and then a second Edge Function that renders the Next app?
"give it a quick test and ship it out, our customers are better at finding bugs than we are" - lecture from the CEO of a company I used to work for who didn't want me to waste any time testing and didn't want to pay me to do testing. I left soon after that to find a place with a different culture, trying to change it was way too hard
If possible, could I get your opinion on a specific example? In my current situation, I was asked to add a feature which required a few (java) classes. So -

* It seems like this would have been a milestone?

* So then maybe a few issues for the different classes or requirements?

* For each issue, after/during development I would note what tests are needed, maybe in the comments section of the issue? Maybe in the description?

* And then automated tests using junit?
>The root cause is the system that is geared to keep houses always appreciating via supply constraints: aggressive zoning, discretionary permitting, NIMBYism.

I don't agree that this is the root cause. The root cause is the artificial demand on housing created though our mass immigration policy. Canada accepts _at least_ 500,000 people per year through various channels, "temporary" foreign workers, international students (many of whom stay), refugees, and of course, normal immigration. And I am low balling that number. It could be closer to 1 million.

When you bring in an entire large city worth of people, it stands to reason that this will cause massive pressure on housing prices. Now sustain that yearly increase for decades, and you have the problem we face today.

There are 9 million people in Canada (a country of around 40M) currently living here on 10 year visa's. - Crazy!

So there you have it. How could you leave that completely out from your argument and only blame zoning laws and nimbyism?
Glad to see the Deno Company is getting a piece of the pie! Funding open source projects is tricky, but it seems like you're figuring it out.
Yes, this is an unjustly ignored point. The nigh-100% focus on which one is more productive is a blaring signal of how sick work culture is. At times we seem to simply accept that employers/managers are the dictators, and employees are the subjects, rather than that both are equal humans.
In what sane universe is not requiring toilets and showers a solution to housing issues? I'm reasonably sure we can meet housing needs and still maintain basic human dignity.
I sent out a few rebranding messages and a bunch of updates on new features over the past few months, but it sounds like maybe you subscribed before I even had an email list haha. Thanks for being an early adopter! It's folks like you that helped encourage me to keep working on it :)
It isn't even the first Russian invasion of Ukraine in the last decade.
No, it means everyone should do something, including himself. But not himself alone.
What are some examples? I am assuming the concern is idealogical blasphemous words?
Or we could, you know, intelligently tax property nationally and tie it to a national dividend that directly goes to landed immigrants and citizens in the form of a basic income. It will make sure that the poor and lower middle class don't get hosed and simultaneously make property a less attractive investment for foreigners or would-be mansion builders.

I don't want to live in the same place my whole life and I don't want every Canadian city to look and feel the same.
The bindata package that samhw linked goes further by walking a whole directory and embedding it all, supplying a function that maps from pathname to file contents. Looks like it returns an Option<Vec<u8>> though [1] which means it must be copying the file contents each time. I don't know why they didn't just return a &'static [u8] instead.

There's another crate includedir which looks more popular. It also supports compression. But if the file is stored in compressed form, looks like it also will (decompress/)copy into a fresh Vec, whether you request the uncompressed or compressed forms. [2] That's not what I would like. I'd prefer (lazily or eagerly) decompressing once and keeping it around in RAM for next time. YMMV.

I could use a high-quality implementation of this same idea. Personally I don't get using it for a personal blog (I'd rather be able to change the content without recompiling/restarting), but on my todo list is producing a zero-dependency, single-binary form of software I'm working on, including its web interface. I might end up writing my own.

We dont have a shortage of dense housing because it takes to long to build

We have a shortage of dense housing because it is illegal to build dense housing in the places it should exist, and where it is legal, community review processes quickly shut it down
I think that most YIMBYs are arguing the opposite: That if I buy a piece of land, and I want to build a duplex in it, all the way to the property line, I should be able to do it. As it is, zoning and the approval processes make all kinds of viable projects impossible to do, by the property owners.

If I wanted to turn my single family house into a duplex, or just tear it down and build bigger, to far closer to the property line, I'd be completely unable to do so, because the zone is R1, the minimum offset to the edge of the property is enough to part 2 F-150s lined front to back. The maximum legal usable square footage, across all levels, of the house must not exceed 40% of the square footage of the lot. Most of my property must, by regulation, be lawn, and the taller I build, the more lawn I need. There's houses with this zoning structure right next door to supermarkets.

So how is asking to be allowed to redevelop your own lot being against private property ownership? If land is so plentiful nobody wants to build taller, the land will remain very low density. But the idea of having a lot that, if razed, would be worth a million dollars, but where building a duplex is illegal is not, in any way, going against private ownership.
Maybe it's because I use Brave (as a "Chrome with less Google" and with all the crypto stuff disabled), but when I look at the "shady things" they've done, it doesn't look that shady:

- The affiliate link "hijacking" was - if I remember correctly - to sites of crypto companies that partner with them. I'd prefer if this didn't happen, but most seem to be fine when other browsers (Safari, Firefox, etc) add something like "?client=safari" when searching or when their search engine (eg: DDG) use affiliate links to sites like Amazon or Ebay. It's not a new thing.

- The money collection (brave rewards)... if one doesn't understand how the system works, it looks like they are stealing money... but the money is returned to the sender after a while if the website/creator doesn't claim it. Is this that bad?

And then there's them not blocking some trackers (Google, Facebook, etc) by default, but if they did, they would break logins on many websites.

Maybe all this is bad, but I'm not sure if there's any browser out there without a history of shady behaviour. Even Mozilla has messed up a few times.
> Renting is throwing away money; it goes into someone else's pocket and it's gone.

Holy shit this is insane. Do you actually believe renting has no benefits?

When you purchase a property you’re on the hook for that mortgage payment for the next 30 years. Buyers absorb an enormous amount of risk. Maintenance is time consuming and expensive.

Renters can leave whenever they like and have no long term financial ties to the state of the property.

I guess everyone needs someone to fight against huh?
Cellphones with keyboards. Firewire and esata. WEP Encryption. Didn't see the beginning but saw the end of analog tv. Not really dead for everyone but like... Tivos and dvrs sorta came and went for me. In my adult life I've never had cable television or home phone service something that is surprising to my grandparents.

I remember those things that like... ran credit cards by impressioning them into paper. Haven't seen those since the 90s.

There's also certain things I thought I'd see more when I was a kid from reading books. Dumb waiters, laundry shoots, and pneumatic tubes turn out to not be very common sadly.
> Software will be a, even 'the', defining variable in the car industry soon enough.

The issue with FSD is it is not and cannot just be software. You can't just use a couple 2D cameras and think you'll software your way to success. Humans use a lot more than just their vision to drive.

Tesla is making a mistake in thinking they can just throw some relatively cheap cameras on a car and throw software at the problem. Spacial awareness from only 2D images in fantastically hard and extremely error prone. A reliable FSD will need ranging/detection sensors (RADAR/LIDAR), inertial sensors, image sensors, and external sensors like GPS and likely coded road signage.

Software is obviously a component of FSD but not the only one.
Whether those new Canadians arrived by birth or immigration, they are here now. We should build enough houses for them.

If Canada cut it’s immigration targets, it would have to somehow produce a lot more babies to pay for everything. More houses needed either way.
Why should Debian/Linux and users reward hardware that goes out of their way to make everyone's life worse for profit?

Maybe hardware companies should make an effort to contribute and make their hardware work better on Linux

When I buy a laptop I make sure it is Linux/Debian/Arch... compatible

Extra I go on eBay and get a cheap compatible open source driver WiFi card, like QCNFA335 to replace the original
> [...] exceeded half a million known virus cases.

> “Half a million known virus cases”, huh? During the Omicron peak, the US alone exceeded that many cases every day. Clearly they meant half a billion.

I wonder if the New York times knew exactly what they were writing. Both of course are technically correct. And billions/trillions/etc get into unfamiliar/meaningless territory for some with a million being the largest meaningful number so could have more emotional impact as a headline.
> A culture that abhors second hand housing (so structures don't appreciate like land does). Housing that depreciates is no longer a sound investment

That sounds tremendously wasteful. All housing will have to be built new now?

> (d) Not very open to immigration at all, have a decreasing population.

This is probably the biggest reason housing is depreciating in Japan, especially outside of Tokyo.
I agree that this is the root cause, and it remains a third rail in Canadian politics. The province of Ontario commissioned a "Housing Availability Task Force" to do a [report](https://www.ontario.ca/page/housing-affordability-task-force...) spelling out the problem. They identified under-supply due to land use restrictions as the primary cause. The government ignored it and addressed secondary issues with lame bandaids in their June election platform.

They are conservatives, this "foreign buyer ban" bandaid is put in place by liberals. NDP and Greens offer nothing different. A quadri-partisan consensus on ignoring the root cause.

I do think there's another major cause - cheap money. It's fuelling a lot of the meteoric price growth and making the housing market even more of a wild speculative one, where all that matters is the carrying costs and not any underlying fundamentals. This one is more of a worldwide problem, and a small country like Canada cannot use monetary policy to bludgeon the housing market back into reality without bludgeoning the rest of the economy with it.
Still I feel like your analogy is the better one, things are moving very fast. With declarative infra and reproducible builds you’re pumping out high quality, well tested buildings at record speeds.
Hello, I think you have a bug disabling the splash screen: https://git.sr.ht/~pkal/ecg/tree/master/item/ecg.lisp#L372

According to the internet (I don't use emacs) it's supposed to be "inhibit-splash-screen t" - looks like a copypasta induced mistake is all.
Amazing tool, btw
Org provides a lot more features than an outline mode. Org-babel lets you mix code with prose, and execute (for many languages) the code in the code blocks. It works cleanly with the agenda/diary system. You can schedule items, marking both due and start dates and times. Tag items and query based on tags, it's a very handy thing.
>Foreign investors jump into the housing market because the current system ensures that the supply

some do, others just want to safely park capital away from their own government reach (China/Russia/various *stans/corrupted countries).
The myth sounds mostly based on all the other issues the office brings with it. In a vacuum, would people communicate more in face given they had enough similarities, the work at hand would greatly benefit from it and there were no negatives? Well, I think so.

But that's not what reality is. Many people work in a lousy, suboptimal open office. They don't get to handpick their teammates. They might have to spend a lot of time commuting at times not matching their natural rhythm, which inadvertently has an effect on their mood.

And that's really all there is to it. If there's truth to how many people just "glue code together" in their developer jobs, then the immediate follow-up is "do you really need to discuss that much to glue code together, when requirements are already far out of your reach?" For many, the work literally becomes a case of "the more you bother me, the less work I'll get done", which coupled with the above and pressure to perform, is a recipe for disaster.

Given something closer to the ideal with more collaborative requirements, then yes, in-office would be better no doubt. With the caveat of the disadvantages one would still have.
The Green Homes Grant covers 2/3rds of the cost for improvements up to £10k. Part of the issue is people don't use the schemes and they get scrapped for not hitting targets.

Right on. Hopefully this feature is added to Vivaldi Mobile, too.
The trade-offs between foreign key constraints vs none are almost identical to the trade-offs between static typing vs dynamic typing. Nowadays people realize that when they turn off these features is that they'll eventually have to re-implement them later.
I suppose "lots" mean more than one or two. Can you provide a list of cloud-based shareable free office suits?
I would read a bit and look at the nix-pills [1] even though I could never understand them when I was learning. Then, what I always recommend is this playlist by Burke Libbey on youtube [2]. There are a couple fundamental things that you can internalize which will make everything much more approachable:

1. Nix the language is basically a JSON object. Almost everything is about generating and composing subtrees to build a _really_ big JSON object.

2. `<foo>` means from channel `foo`. This is less relevant now with flakes but that was always extremely confusing syntax to me and when I "got it" it made things way easier.

I live in Toronto, and there is no way that I could buy a small (not even average size) home built in the 60s for less than a million dollars, unless it's in a really bad neighborhood or needs so much work that I will end up spending that much anyway
The Stripe part is baked into the GitHub Sponsors. So while we qualify for one, we are blocked because of the dependency on Stripe.

My industry does not have wide support for crypto payments (which is a surprise); it's still difficult to turn it back into USD (eg: crypto.com, coinbase.com don't allow it).

We do accept some crypto payments but it mostly stays in the crypto space; until get to pay someone else that takes it. It's a PITA for taxes however.

In USA our payments are handled by typical banks/providers (except the one mentioned here). It's not like we're totally blocked.

My experience with the Globe seemed to indicate the agents were being graded on how many script points they hit, not on the calls-handled-per-minute. If you think about them as a defense from bleeding subscribers this makes sense. Spending 10 minutes to attempt to save a year of recurring subscription is a good deal. You don't want the agents to be efficient and handle many calls per hour.
> Until we liberalize zoning, legalize building, and reject the idea that houses have to be appreciating assets, the issue will continue.

Even if all those things are done the issue will still continue.

There is a limited amount of land at desirable locations with desirable properties.

You can increase density-- sure-- but after densifying more than some threshold of land it won't help because the extremely high density housing is itself extremely unattractive to many people, so building more density only helps to the extent that there are people who want that with unmet housing needs.

The fundamental natural of housing is the root cause, restrictive policy is an exacerbating factor.

To use an extreme example, you can easily go find big tracts of land in Montana for under $1000 an acre where no one would prevent you from building a gosh darn arcology if you wanted to. Yet the existence of cheap land someplace else doesn't magically make the issue of housing costs solved. People don't want to live in that someplace else, they want to live in particular places and there always is and always will be a finite amount of land in those particular places.
Rust isn’t statically compiled, you can make it so, but it isn’t by default, it depends on the libc you link against, on Linux it is glibc.

Regardless: you’re right in some regards. Cargo vendor exits, so you can ship your code dependencies alongside your own code.
Right, the typical "why are you so upset" smug dismissal that seems to be the fallback when something doesn't have any merits, including casual insults or provocation like "having angst"...

But somehow it's still important to comment and mock, lest others might think he has a point.

When I saw the article, I knew that MS Word has had something like this for a while. I thought is was stupid but not worth my "angst". But people taking the time to speak out against this silliness are doing something good, and casually dismissing and mocking their concerns, rather than taking part in the conversation for or against, or just not commenting, is basically cowardice.
There's the location choices you describe (city vs suburb vs middle of nowhere) and there's location choices around large city vs smaller city that's still significantly larger then "a liquor store, some off brand shopping market, a burger joint, and a 20 year outdated public library". Especially if/when remote work and non-location based salaries become the norm.

I recently had a recruiter try to convince me to move back to the midwest by throwing numbers about how median housing prices were over $500k less in my hometown then where I am now on the west coast. I don't need a house with my lifestyle right now, but I'll probably just move back if/when that changes. I enjoy living in a west coast city but not at the cost of 500k-1mil additional housing costs for a smaller place with less land. I'd be just as content moving back and using some of that extra money to travel or fund a long-term sabbatical.
Great plan, for a favela
There's also the option of developing subsonic cruise missiles further: ex... random movement patterns, or "cruise missile swarms" (intelligent cruise missiles that communicate with each other to maximize the chance that at least one hits the target), etc. etc.

Hypersonic is the brute force and "obvious" approach to defeating enemy defense systems. But its important to not let the hype get carried away.
The phrasing "I don't get it" is fairly rude - it implies the post is obvious to the point of not being worth mentioning. However obvious this might seem to somebody, I would point out that turning AI research papers turn into products is hardly commonplace.
Wordle, and recently Harry Potter Puzzles and Spells (a casual gem-matching puzzle game). When I'm home, also Minecraft occasionally. And if we're talking non-breaktime, "work is over, now it's my time" games: D&D.
