Think about how people buy chocolate. Sure, for $4 you can get a good chocolate bar that's quality, sources sustainable goods, is fair trade, etc. But you can also get a chocolate bar that tastes decent for $1-$2. The "good chocolate bar" is only $2 more, but people are just looking for some chocolate.

The reason why auto-install doesn't work for major version upgrades is because Google Apps are version-specific, and LineageOS isn't allowed to ship Google Apps without paying for certification by Google (and, in fact, disregarding this _will_ result in cease-and-desist letters).

This means that ~95% of users would break their installation by pressing the "auto-update" button because they didn't update their GApps accordingly.

Also, nowadays there is the problem of requiring a certain version of the built-in firmware as well, and in case there are any incompatibilities, a major version upgrade is the perfect time to require updating that as well.

I have seen AirBnB referenced many times in these comments as having something to do with the increase in home prices. From what I can find there are 660,000 AirBnB hosts in the US; this was found under the Airbnb Statistics by Region section from here https://www.stratosjets.com/blog/airbnb-statistics/ seems to also be found here https://ipropertymanagement.com/research/airbnb-statistics. Most likely both of those take their data from some other source which may or not be up to date.

A little bit of Googling around seems to indicate that there are ~95,000,000 single family homes in the US. So all of those AirBnB's represent less than 1% of all homes. If all of those AirBnB's were in a given year they may have an impact on purchase prices. Yet these purchases have been spread out over many years which leads me to believe their impact is negligible as a driving force in price appreciation. Are they a player, sure, are they a big player.....probably not nearly as much as people think.

This is cool, but the overhead to learn more is pretty high.

> It is acceptable for code whose maintainers value readability and simplicity over everything else.

Errors-as-return values are less readable than conditions, not more - there's literally more visual noise on the screen.

And if you want "simplicity", don't use a computer. Computers are intrinsically complex devices, users desire features with complex implementations, and our job as programmers is to manage complexity, not pretend that it doesn't exist. One of the article's main points is that Go does the latter in lieu of the former, and that's also what errors-as-return-values does.

----------------------------------

The formal name for a condition+restart system appears to be "algebraic effects"[1].

Conditions and restarts are similar to exceptions, with the following changes:

First, conditions are conceptually used for non-error conditions in some cases, like what Python does.

Second, throwing a condition doesn't cause the stack to unwind up to the handler, unlike exceptions.

Third, in addition to throwing conditions, you, uh, wrap ("establish" is the jargon used) code in what are called "restarts", similar to wrapping things in try/catch blocks (but distinct, because with conditions you still have condition handling blocks). Restarts can have names and are non-mutually-exclusive. Conceptually, restarts represent error-recovery strategies, while conditions represent the errors themselves.

Fourth, when a condition is thrown, it propagates upward until it hits either the toplevel (in which case the interactive debugger is launched), or it hits a condition handler - without unwinding the stack. Then, either the human looking at the debugger can pick which restart they want to use, or the logic at the condition handler can do so.

Why is this better than any alternative error-handling mechanism? Because every other error-handling mechanism (1) unwinds the stack (destroying all contextually useful information that isn't explicitly saved by the programmer, and preventing you from restarting a computation in the middle) (2) forces you into a single error-recovery strategy and (3) couples low-level code to high-level code as a result.

In general, low-level code has details about the specific kind of error, context around it, and access to data and control flow that would allow the error to be recovered from (e.g. for a log-processing program, reasonable restarts while parsing a log entry would be (1) skip it (2) retry (3) use an alternative parser and (4) return an empty entry), while high-level code has the application context about why the low-level operation is being performed in the first place and which error-recovery option should be picked.

Conversely, high-level code doesn't have details about what the low-level code was doing at the time of the error, and low-level code doesn't have the high-level context necessary to determine which error recovery strategy is appropriate in this use of the low-level code.

Not nearly as fast as it used to be, except when it comes to breaking things. They get away with it because of folks' relentless optimism towards anything tech-related, and the fact that we are all used to muddling through random issues

What's so innovative about E Ink Gallery is the fact that they apparently mix color similar to printed-on paper. This means they don't have to use additive subpixel color mixing, which darkens the display a lot, and which is the reason why colored e-paper isn't a thing in actual products.

The problem was that E Ink Gallery was extremely slow to refresh, but with E Ink Gallery 3, the technology is now "just" slow instead of extremely slow. Though perhaps still a bit too slow to use it in actual e-reader devices.
That is not following the instructions in the Emergency Airworthiness Directive issued to all MAX pilots:

used before and after the STAB TRIM CUTOUT switches are moved
to CUTOUT."

Then it becomes cheaper, and the middle class can afford to come back.

People like living in dense areas near other people. Walkability, a multitude of restaurants and cultural institutions, etc. Unfortunately there is a limited amount of it so the rich take it, and the middle class struggle, and it becomes undesirable, and cheap then the middle class can move back. Repeat.
It's a two cultures thing. Unfortunately, both of the cultures produce a lot of indignant froth, and since the internet is wired for indignation, that's what gets repeated over and over.

Since repetition is off topic here, we need to avoid this and stick to pathways that haven't fried yet.

> You have to draw a line somewhere.

You don’t have to. We could just call them all islands. Greenland? Island. Eurasia? Island. Rhode Island? Not an island, strangely.

There are only between four and seven of these so called “continents” (we didn’t draw a line, we drew like five). They’re not popping up very quickly, either. I say we just forget the whole business came up.
What I'm saying is when you have a bad tooth, what do you expect to happen? Insurance pays for you to look like the toothless geezer spitting into the spittoon in old western films. That's the minimum standard of oral care they provide. If you want something as simple as a fake tooth, something i think anyone who gets a tooth extracted would opt to get, its not covered. Why can't I get insurance that covers this? Implants can be a lot of money and as a result there is this cottage industry of people going to other countries for lower priced implants vs having that dental care done where they get all their other dental care done. Just in terms of the carbon footprint alone that's a terrible solution.

It's somewhat fashionable for well-off people/families to have a vacation home somewhere vacation-y. Before Airbnb, most of those homes just sat vacant for most of the year[0]. Clearly, that's not a great use of that land. Often these sorts of properties would be in pretty desirable locations, and doing it this way would deprive most people the use of that space.

Certainly there are still some people who are wealthy enough to keep their vacation homes vacant most of the time (and prefer it that way, since doing short-term rentals tends to involve quite a bit of wear-and-tear on a house and its furnishings). But many list on Airbnb now. I consider this a net positive for society.

Of course, Airbnb isn't all roses. In many places, investors buy up housing stock that would otherwise be used for long-term rentals, and deprive locals of much-needed stable housing. My guess would be that this is even -- unfortunately -- the primary use of Airbnb these days (I doubt they are primarily people renting out a room in their already-occupied house anymore). So this does suck.

On the renter side, I've found a lot of great places to stay through Airbnb over the years, experiences hotels just can't provide, and often prices hotels can't match. Should I just not be allowed to have these sorts of experiences? (It's totally fair if the answer to that is "yes", as much as it'd be disappointing.)

Can we find some sort of balance so that we can curb most of the negatives that come with real-estate investing, but keep most of the positives?

[0] Yes, vacation rental companies existed before Airbnb, but Airbnb completely changed this space.
IME we had other confounding factors reducing the number of lenders available to us. It might be that they just didn't offer it.

I feel like it's important to raise the volume of this statement. Just how often does the "we will donate to X for our mistake" promises blow over? Inversely as frequently as is required for PR upkeep, most likely (and given that nobody keeps tabs on this: they always blow over).

We desperately need more DMCA countersuits. There is currently no practical downside for filing fraudulent claims (irrespective of what legal downside should exist). If SymPy/NumFOCUS are in the position to retaliate, I really hope that they do.

> A corporation being granted the permission of owning an entire chunk of the American public's land

Disney owns the land that RCID operates. It's not public lands and most, if not all of it, was bought from private landowners during the '60s. The term "public lands" refers to government-owned property. Sometimes public lands are loaned, licensed, or leased to private entities (e.g., for logging, oil-drilling, public services like gas stations, etc.) but that's not the case here.

> taking over all local and state governance for itself is also rather unconstitutional.

Florida has specific legislation allowing entities to take on portions of local, county and state governance as part of it's Special District laws. 1844 entities have been granted these rights, including Disney. See https://floridajobs.org/community-planning-and-development/s...
> I'm not sure what the competitive edge could be to not wall garden.

If only one entity does it, as far as I can imagine it is only a marketing statement to appeal to a niche demographic - people who care about it from an ideological standpoint.

If more than one entity does it, it could lower the bar for critical mass. Instead of having to get enough people on your platform to start benefiting from the network effect, you only have to get enough people on your platform and platforms that you have bidirectional integration with.

> Perhaps they believe the product would be cheaper with abdicating the feature?

Or, perhaps, believe it would get updates? Software in cars tends to grow stale quickly, which is an annoyance if you plan to keep for more than a few years. My eight year old car, for example, has features (had features) that don't work properly anymore because the software didn't anticipate how the rest of the world would change around it and there isn't an update provided to restore it to the original working condition, let alone adding new features that would be nice to have.
I think this is a drone targeted at people who don't want a drone though. If you did want a drone, you wouldn't get this, you can't even fly it around.

Drone shot triggered straight from the app, and sent straight back into it.

I am a big fan of Squash and Merge but it's saddening that users have to configure that by hand on a repo when they first merge a commit via the GitHub UI, as many people aren't aware or don't think about it which can lead to nasty commit histories.

It's still pretty painful to deal in Rc<...> and friends in Rust.

I did not accuse you of saying "blockchains are useless because public-key cryptography long predates blockchains". I accused you of saying old fashioned PGP was user-friendly. It's not. It never caught on beyond tech users because it's too complicated for non-techies. My point was that Metamask has demonstrated the best UX yet to use public-key cryptography for everyday users.
One of the more under-appreciated aspects of blockchains is how they've made public key encryption more accessible to mainstream users. For the first time in history, millions of people have setup and maintain custody of their own key pairs. These users have learned the importance of securing those keys and have a convenient way to sign or verify signatures using their crypto wallets.

Not everything needs a blockchain, but consumer tools for generating and verifying cryptographic signatures would have never reached the same level of adoption as they have w/o the incentives that blockchains provide.
