Just so we’re clear, your argument is that there’s folks out there who, upon needing to take a shit, think “hmm, I could go to a bathroom, but since nobody will prosecute me for taking off my pants and shitting here on the sidewalk, I’ll do that”?

There are certainly people who do bad things because they’re bad people. But yes, on average, people who behave badly are doing so because of limited options, not because they’re really keen on crime.
How is it valuable to attack people you don't even see on this thread?

A great way to reduce the annoyance of evangelists is to ignore them, not conjure them up in a place you admit they are not even ruining.
This comes up a lot. But it's wrong, or at least incomplete. People who want to live in their house don't want the value of that house to go up, because then their taxes go up.
Isn't it better to have one key per device that never leaves the device?
AFAIK, mailman was the only thing ever wrapped in this way.

I wrote all the rest of the back-office utilities (at least, the initial versions of them), and I have never come across any indication that they got "wrapped" in anything else (they did, no doubt, evolve and mutate in something utterly different over time).

Yegge's quote is also slightly inaccurate in that mailman, like all early amzn software, was written in C++. Shel and I just chose not use very much of the (rather limited) palette of C++ syntax & semantics.
These are some good UX questions, none of which have a really clear answer.

I think most of your 'when should the fields update' type of questions, have already been solved in Google Translate web UI. There, you can only update the left-sided input field. So there becomes this simple flow of: 1) decide which language you're translated from. 2) edit that value. 3) the UI picks up that a keystroke has not occurred in the last X seconds 4). The right-hand side field updates.
Yes, Scotland allows wild camping.

If you're considering going to Scotland and are thinking of that sort of thing, you should also look up the concept of a "Bothy" or "Bothies", which tend to be in mountains. They are a sort of refuge/simple transient accommodation. Generally small, quite basic huts in the deep countryside and remote places, where you can stay without booking and for free, but just overnight while you're on your way around.
Some of the biggest tech companies in the US outsource much of their “innovative” work to consulting & IT service firms… what’s your basis exactly?
The reason people don't trust "computers" has nothing to do with bugs in the code lmao. It has to do with the fact that they inescapably track their every move and fuck with their minds to completely inscrutable ends.

That shit is basically working as intended, a stricter compiler is not the solution to it.
I think you answered your own question at the end of your second paragraph.
I believe in some states, there's a limit to how much the tax-assessed value can increase in a year. So even if the housing prices double, they may only be able to increase taxes by a couple percent.
Yeah, TBH I don't know who to blame here. I assume the leadership is able to do something about it, but perhaps not and there is more at play here.
I got mine through Auburn distance learning. The main appeal to me was that it was the same degree as in-residence. You were just watching the classes online. This was pre-COVID, so many more universities may do this now, but it seemed rare back then. I really enjoyed it. Also, to caveat, This masters was in Software Engineering, which is obviously different than Computer Science (one of my undergrad degrees).

I've also seen people mentioning if they were going to get a masters they would do so in a different field. I just finished one in policy. I learned much more in this masters than I expected. I realized there are many games to be played, this article was posted to the top page this week and resonated because of it https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31267685
Not true at all. If you are self employed getting underwritten can be a nightmare.

We had savings galore but they wouldn't count it for a variety of reasons (withdrawn from biz account in last 90 days, biz account showed slight decrease because of covid), then calcs with old place and new together are hard.

Sometimes if you just leverage equity in old place you will be moving from + hard money + savings, you can do a cash offer, then sell off old place (we had a preemptive offer 4 days in well over asking - bay area).

Now you only have to be underwritten for one property (before selling old property they included both in calculations which made it hard). We got a 3% rate, then used that to settle up everything back to the way it was.

California also have firms like Reali (https://reali.com/how-to-guide-cash-offer/) that do a cash offer on new place, then you sell old place and buy from them.

This might be unique to the insanity of the CA market in last 2 years. I think it is cooling down thankfully?
When moving from Windows to macOS as my daily driver I really missed the window management keyboard shortcuts and ability to easily snap a window to the left/right of the screen or maximize windows. Magnet gave me everything I wanted and the price was right. I highly recommend it. Even at $4 it’s well worth the price given how well it works and it’s regularly updated.

That being said, reading this thread I’m realizing how many great options there are for these kind of scenarios on macOS.
> . At some point, a lot of home buyers started shopping by payment without regard to total price.

At a N-year fixed interest rate, it's smarter to shop by payment without regard to total price. All the more if you can avoid a large downpayment. After all, that's what matters, right?
I did my masters of Computer Science at University of Pennsylvania mid career. It was the best career decision I ever made. Prior, no company would give me the time of day - couldn't get a phone screen. My TC prior was 60k, and doubled a few weeks after graduation. Doubled again within a few years. I was going no where, maybe some don't need it, but I did.

Was it hard? extremely. a lot of concepts were very old in my memory, but it was also a lot of fun. I enjoyed going to class every day.
Err, Florida vs Disney? Don’t say gay law? Mods to education to prevent anything that causes distress?
For me the biggest anti-phone argument is that they break and that is very common. They also run out of power. Hardware keys offload this to something that can go through the washing machine or ride in monsoon rains on my motorbike's keychain.
Drug dealing is different, though. It's not necessarily a choice between homelessness and drug dealing; it might be between living in an SRO, barely getting by, and drug dealing. At some point, there's a threshold where drug dealing has the better outcome, but the situation you're coming from wasn't that bad.
It’s somewhat the opposite situation, poetry is a tool that lots of people are adopting rather than one being pushed by a standards committee. I don’t think it set out to unify a dozen standards, only build a good UX and to be reproducible.
They weren't reserved words. The lexer just discarded those tokens entirely.
This seems pretty cut and dry. They’re welcome to charge drug dealers with drug dealing and lock them up, which will keep them out of the Tenderloin.

But they can’t just write down a list of names and ban those people from existing in public spaces to short circuit having to go through the due process of charging/convicting them of the underlying crime.

This article seems to be arguing against the Covid relief bills, suggesting that they are the primary cause of inflation. Maybe they are.

But the article does not consider the counterfactual: what situation would we be in without the Covid relief bills? Inflation might be lower, but also there would be more homeless, more bankruptcy, more unemployed.

When you shut down the economy for two years, there's no good option.
You can speak for $god? Wow. Good internet connection!
This is interesting. I'll need a few days to try some more searches out. But my initial thoughts is this is presenting unique results.

One query that could use some cleanup is 'router', which is filled with 'Route Package Protection' items. https://vendazzo.com/products?q=router&currency&page=1
Good luck! I saw a few master's programs that had a specialisation or focus on information security, but that might not be hardcore enough for you.
Yes, and interest rates have gone up, thus all those homes are now over valued (if price of debt is your metric)
The engineer at Google will be sweating now. The secret is out.
Yes. I used .maildelivery before procmail, and procmail until my work stopped supporting it and I now use 0365 rules and Google filter rules.

I would love somebody to write up seive and how to use it with the majors.

I use Google filters for what we used to call presort Inc, so I process list mails into specific folders, and identify a small handful of chums so I can always find their mail quickly.

Lack of decent support for envelope sender/recipient distinct from To/From field is a bugbear, the box.extra@ and box+extra@ method does most of what that needed but not all.
The next shopify site I'm queued up to work on is something I'm choosing the platform for because its POS offering looks like it offers a better rate than stripe terminal. I think it's a pretty sweet option if you're selling something in-person or services to this end, I like the timeslot plugin stuff.

Pretty sure as I understand it that a lot of that dropshipping crap from alibaba kinda petered out with those massive shipping container delays
One reservation I have when I read about these MS programs is that they often sound like they will be heavy on group work. I see where that is valuable to prepare people just starting off in their career, but as someone who has been doing "group work" for the past 10 years irl, I'm not really interested in the mock UN version of having a day job.

Have your classes been built around group projects, or can you go it alone if you're doing it for kicks? I'd love to spend some time studying CS and end up with something to show for it, but I'm not interested in group-work-as-workplace-prep.
But some schmuck has to pay money to twitter. If you think that they’ll be able to charge random people money to use twitter you’re using damn fine stuff.
Unfortunately I can't share, as it's related to a not-yet-public project.
For sure. I grew up in the deep south outside ATL and houses there are still "cheap". They're certainly outpacing the poor folks who were born and raised there, but you can still snag a house with an acre or so of land in the 100,000s.

Beautiful land too. Forests, creeks, and wildlife.
The question is - how much do historical patterns predict future ones.

Can attitudes and norms on what % income spent on housing change? As people attain a higher standard of living, can this trend up?
Unpopular opinion, but I actually appreciate enjoying a constitutional right to free movement, and would hate to lose it to yet another "public safety" emergency.

SFC has very-overpowered tools to remove heroin dealers from society, within the due-process framework of criminal law. For them to claim they can't do their job without giving themselves essentially *administrative* powers over peoples' lives, I think that's a false and stupid dichotomy.
Yup I came in through hookshot. I was a paid user there and my license was honored when it was released as rectangle pro. What a stand up guy.
I think Descript is an incredible product, but as an early beta user of the Lyrebird API, it really frustrates me that this system is currently inaccessible. It was way ahead of its time, and it worked better than anything I've seen since.

I wish that they would release it in some capacity. Heck, even with a licensing fee. There's so many use cases beyond what Descript uses the tech for.
The probably is we've coupled the gui and the service, the people making the UI have a monopoly and no reason to improve. Same goes for spotify, audible and just about every streaming provider these days.
So much for MMt(at least the way that certain people perceived MMT to be)

We are about to pay for 12 years of easy money policies.
This is one of those weird stories that shows the randomness of what stories "catch on," as it were. It's been in the news for two years, now, but now treated as new? Is it just surprise that a public health agency would also be interested in the dataset? But... duh?

https://www.npr.org/2020/05/01/849161820/mobile-phone-data-s... - May 2020

"The data, provided to NPR by a mobile phone location data company called SafeGraph, is based on the locations of about 18 million mobile phones across the country."

https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-03-16/pandemic... - March 2021

"The findings come from a Google compilation of vast troves of cellphone location tracking data, part of an ongoing effort the tech giant says it initiated to help leaders around the globe gauge the impact of coronavirus-related closures and travel restrictions."

https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2021-12-09/the-pa... - Dec 2021

"The trade-offs of this emerging world were foreshadowed by the COVID-19 pandemic, when cities and countries decided on how far to infringe on personal freedoms to protect public health. Some of the nations that pried most deeply into private lives to track infections managed to keep deaths low, curb rampant spread and prevent healthcare systems from being overwhelmed."

And those are both VERY mainstream sources, so it's not even like it was being buried!
It doesn't guarantee a crash. I've had power steering failures (I've driven cars up to 400K miles). On the highway you don't need to crank wheel over so it's not impossible to hold a lane. The wheel doesn't lock if you turn car off either if that's the concern.

Remember, when you turn car off you are stopping, that's your goal. With brakes you don't need to "drive" that far once car is off. Turn off car, press on brakes, done.

Why is a crash guaranteed? I've driven with a car off (manual start when alternator out). It works OK (tight turns excepted without power steering)

The states are laboratories argument is revealed as bs when the supremes rule “yeah, but Alabama is correct”. Are the HN audience that much more conservative, or are the trolls out or is this just reveal that the rating system is unconstrained and the HN moderators are watching the fun?
What's the number of owners + long-term renters? (the likely relevant metric when looking at housing price vs local incomes)
What are current possible C++ replacements?

Rust, as mentioned; it was created as a direct replacement to use at Mozilla, among other things.

Zig, which is significantly simpler than C++; good but I'm not sure if it has comparable expressive power (maybe it does, IDK).

D, which is around for some time, but hasn't made inroads comparable to Rust.

Ada, which is around for even longer, and has enough mindshare in certain industries, but sadly not enough generally.

GC-based languages, from Go to Haskell, apparently can't be considered true replacements, even though they are fine for large areas previously dominated by C++.
What does this have to do with whether or not the housing market is overvalued?

It seems like a thread-derailing comment likely to drag down the quality of discussion.
> that your working hypothesis should always be that something wrong happened on some upper layer, starting with your own code, unless you are downright forced to accept that there is no way that e.g. the CPU is behaving correctly

This is true for production hardware. I work with a lot of pre-release hardware so I start every bug with the latest errata open. Even then it's wrong to squint at the errata documentation until it might kind of look like your bug. Rather you do a quick look to make sure there's no clear smoking gun, and then continue to debug at the upper layer. It's ultimately usually not that hard to demonstrate an actual hardware bug with a reduced test-case once you have a general idea of what is wrong; if I had a nickle for each time I've heard "this is so random it must be a hardware bug" only to demonstrate it was a software race-condition, I would be a wealthy man.
The majority of homeless people are in the grip of drug addiction. They are already doing something illegal, completely unnecessary, and harmful to themselves because it feels good in the moment. So yes, I do think impulsive public defecation is a thing. People are already shooting up in the streets, why not other stuff too?

If toilets are sometimes inconvenient, by all means add more, but it won't end the problem.
Trump's tax cuts certainly didn't help either. Or let's just blame it on "handouts" again.
People always think the next language, framework, paradigm, etc is going to solve all their problems. It's a pipe dream. You can write garbage in any language.
This is what I said. Also we already know where there is surveillance there is abuse [1], thank you Snowden. I don’t know how the information was accessed but if you wanted to spy on a loved one you would simply track movements to and from home and work to de anonymize then see if she/he travels anywhere else. I don’t support this tracking and do believe they should at the very least have an opt out option but better would be opt in.

Yeah, the only way you can anonymize this data is if you decouple all the data points from any way of re-associating them, and then take care of the timestamps too so you can't just find sequences that way.

If someone's really clever they might even have good ways to get past that, but I have enough second-hand familiarity with some of the players in this space to know they're aware of at least those methods. Whether or not they DO it consistently... well, I'm not holding my breath.
That's hideous. The unbalanced parenthesis just grates.

The real answer is to just do something like

} // while

to show that it's the end of the loop rather than the end of an if, and not play ridiculous games trying to hide the curly braces.
Can’t they just arrest the drug dealers, and release them on parole, where stipulation of their parole is that they may not enter those 50 blocks?
I’m unfamiliar with Canadian law, but if there exist laws that protect people’s privacy from their government, then it would also be government overreach, right?
Yup I gauge everything in drink prices, of which buy about one from the list daily. $1-5 = coffee, $5-10 = beer, $10-15 = cocktail. $20 is a bottle of wine.

I almost never think about spending those amounts on those things, so for anything that gets potentially more than one use it's a no-brainer.

Of course, im not on a student anymore.
Aha, the correction is greatly appreciated.

Most days I regret posting to HN. Today is not one of those days.
Thanks, it makes it a lot clearer.
My ordering of CSS is similar to this, but opacity and z-index has to go last.

Most of those cities have a lot more density. They were designed before cars existed. I wonder what a fresh piece of earth chopped up and designed for the future would look like economically.
No, sorry, I meant it was easier back when I was using Clojure. Even invoking Java unit tests in the IDE or referencing a Ruby REPL in another window, while fast, are enough to break my concentration. Those seconds of context switching can derail my train of thought. At least in my case, building a piece of logic incrementally with near instant and continuous feedback from a REPL-integrated editor in Clojure just felt like an extension of my internal thought process.
He has multiplied the ands. Pray he does not multiply them any further.
Automated OS testing on physical laptops
I work for a company with about 1000+ engineers that run a Bazel + Git + GitHub monorepo. As with all workflows it has its painpoints, but I am quite fond of it.
It only needs a team of 8 to maintain all the integrations and performance optimisations.

GitHub is taking the problems of monorepo user's seriously (https://github.blog/2021-03-16-improving-large-monorepo-perf...) and have been responsive to the bugs and poor performance that monorepo's typically cause and exercise.
> People who want to live in their house don't want the value of that house to go up, because then their taxes go up.

This is the exact same phenomenon as with the stock market. Yields progressively moving towards zero means more and more leverage driving PE ratios and prices to extremes.

Given that we've rediscovered fiscal stimulus and inflation as a result, I have a feeling that era is dead. You can't have low rates in an inflationary environment.
> Out of four hours you get about 10 minutes of meaningful detail about the incident

Most documentaries have always been very low on information density. Even universally loved ones like something from David Attenborough are mostly a collection of disconnected (yet amazing) film snippets with a bit of commentary over the top. It's only gotten worse as narrative has become more of the focus.

There are exceptions, but when it comes to conveying meaningful information and detailed analysis youtube is far superior than mainstream documentaries.
This doesn’t really matter if there are no houses available that are 500 sqft less.
