Have you ever thought that maybe it’s what you do that causes homelessness? That your protected safe exclusionary and prestigious places cause the problems you don’t want to face? if there was affordable living then there wouldn’t be encampments and if there were affordable places for them to camp in more humane conditions that would work too but we don’t want that - we want our prestigious places..
Is the goal to be able to have multiple sets of key mappings depending on which "folder" is open, sort of how you might describe "profiles"?

If so you can do that with numpad re-mappings too. You could have 17 specific key mappings depending on which app is in focus or you can arbitrarily activate a different specific set of mappings.

It's not going to be as intuitive since there's no visual icon to display but the functionality is there. AutoHotKey could also make it easy to show which "folder" is active by showing a little tooltip when you switch folders.

It sounds like the real appeal to it is the visual icons but the trade off is needing more desk space and reaching for buttons that are not on your main keyboard (+$125 to buy it).
Nothing gets me excited for a project like a bunch of cited papers.
Aside from the minimum wage income, no other number you said is remotely in line with reality.
Has he had a high success rate with this approach? If so, maybe we should considering employing a few people with the city or state government to do this professionally.
So manufacturers are free to declare that the method of putting in some part is a technique covered by trade secrets? How will the bill deal with that, when manufacturers declare that most of the things you want to repair are their proprietary process?
AFAIK, many Windows apps traditionally tend to use the registry for storing their configs. Which I believe is a similarly odd and foreign idea to most Linux users. On the other hand, before there was the Registry, there were .INI files on Windows too, so kinda similar like dotfiles.
There are too many APIs that still want raw pointers.
Also there's no way this is affordable once you exceed the free tier.

Sounds like a sweet reason for laptop vendors to provide the best linux hardware support once schools mandate free software!
No I don’t think it’s permanent - mine seems to be slowly and progressively improving. You almost have to retrain your autonomic nervous system on a step by step basis.
I can't recommend the 99% spinoff podcast "According To Need" enough, really illustrates the situation well & humanizes the problem in a way that isnt done enough. https://99percentinvisible.org/need/
between spelling nazis and reflexive downvoters .. who are entitled their respective actions.. what I am looking for is, how is the whole Quartz to Wafers process has become green and what kind of reduction and/or elimination of toxic materials has been achieved.

A good proper justification of the claim from the claimant or supporters of that argument is useful.
I'm living it. My family were immigrants from the Soviet Union without a penny to their name. My grandfather worked construction into his 70s supporting us. They didn't have anything at all besides grit. You skipped the part where work ethic and sobriety are all you need to get started.

As to why millions live in misery, I suspect it is due to a failure to embrace work and suffering as the only constants in life.
,, Despite new U.S. fab initiatives announced by Intel, Samsung and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., each has said those investments require tax breaks and other incentives beyond what states have offered''

Tax breaks sound much more reasonable way to improve onshore manufacturing if that would be the real goal.
Have any thoughts on Anna? They take a similar kind of shared-nothing approach, with CALM communication primitives.

The pandemic taught me a lot about apocalypse. While people are a lot slower to buy into collective action and changing their way of life than I thought, society is far more robust than I expected. Covid looked nothing like a pandemic film, thank god.

With that in mind, I have some ideas on what programming will look like in 30 years:

1. New frameworks and abstractions for making apps even more disposable while maintaining privacy will come along. New languages will happen. Corporations that just finished moving to the cloud will now be moving to even greater abstractions like Airtable or whatever comes next.

2. Programmer pay will decrease compared to other industries. This is a hunch and I’m only 60% confident of it happening.

3. Satellite internet will be more of a norm for no better reason than it’s the most efficient way to manage infrastructure. More rural communities will need it, and remote trends will continue. The cost of launches are going down and there’s a lot of land.

4. Everything will get more energy efficient, and most intense activity will be pushed to compute farms.

5. VR will once again come around as the next big revolution in computing, but will be ultimately disappointing and won’t see mass adoption.

Beyond these ideas, I think too much plays into our personal optimism or pessimism. I think things will change, but we’re a scrappy species that will fight to preserve its way of life. It will look a lot like our global pandemic response…warts and all. There’s a lot there to be disappointed about, but it’s actually incredible it wasn’t worse.

When these predictions hit I’ll be 70. I hope I’ll live to see it.
> This will get worse the longer it's put off.

Citation needed. In what way is it worse?
I had both of these problems. My number used to be something like 555-348-8889. My email uses a domain hack of my last name so like Bob@smi.th. The former eventually changed to something equally ridiculous but easier to say, the latter I'm still trying to figure out how to say out loud after 8 years.
If they think their sober perception is not reliable then why do they trust science or that they even exist?
I've found that I don't even like wearing earbuds when I get sweaty, so respirators were right out. I'm fortunate that I've been able to create a reasonable gym at home, but I do miss the iso machines. What I wouldn't give for space for a Smith or something at home. Glad you found something that works for you too.
There are also physical products that are un-engineered, such as pretty much any one-off made by a craftsman or DIY'er, but engineering is still engineering. The unique thing about software is that an unlimited number of craftsmen and DIY'ers can be brought together to make things of limitless complexity.
>in fact it may be deliberately obfuscated for "reasons."

In accounting/auditing, the words "it's complicated" is generally the first place you look for detailed documentation and process.

If it is not there... Red flag.
Short-term T-bills are essentially risk-free and absolutely should be liquid. In the event of a catastrophic market crash the Federal Reserve has stepped in as the buyer of last resort in every case (2008, 2020 COVID, etc.). Also, generally during a crash Treasuries spike in price because people flock to them for safety. That means there should be a liquid market for stablecoin issuers to dump into.
So invite a homeless person to live in your house with you. I bet you have a spare room or even a couch they could crash on. If everyone who accused people who complain about homeless encampments of lacking empathy did this simple thing, there would be no more homeless encampments.

Have some empathy please.
Agreed. It also makes me feel like some people want there to be no 'easy' solutions to problems, because they despise how society is going and wish it would be forced to change. I suspect they'd still be unhappy even if there was a magic wand you could wave that would instantly fix climate change (or make it impossible to occur).
> In the presence of a stable money supply and stable prices, the only way to do this is through innovation and better efficiency: you reduce the value of your inputs, or you increase the value of the outputs

Or you decide the winning move is not to play, because borrowing is expensive, the purchasing power of your Benjamins won't diminish if you bury them in the ground, and investing money on capital goods in the hope of accumulating more money has negative average risk adjusted returns if there never is any more money in aggregate. On the other hand the way you capture the share of the growing pie is by increasing efficiency, it ceases to be an adequate investment strategy to just hold your capital in uninvested currency.

And taking a graph like that one where the sharp fall in productivity growth starts a couple of decades before leaving the gold standard and actually stops falling afterwards as evidence that leaving the gold standard caused productivity growth slowdown is peak gold bug dodgy graph interpretation! Bretton Woods collapsed because it was inherently unstable anyway.
Yeah the breaking compatibility is probably a showstopper. I don't know why it can't support import of older file formats...
To be technically fair, I believe the Windows 95/Win32 Registry was one of the things backported (from the "sideport") to Windows 3.1 in the strange Win32S backport, so it is very possible a developer's first experience of the Registry was Windows 3.x, late in the Windows 3.x life cycle.

To be fair to third party developers, and to make it clear I don't assign them much blame for "missing the memo that the Registry was not for application data", the mistakes were clearly coming "from inside the house": never forget that the first Win32 developers were dogfooding teams at Microsoft. If even the Office teams never got the memo, there's no expectation that third party developers could have psychically intuited that the memo even existed.

Also to be fair to disclosure I'm sure that most of my understanding of all this is badly paraphrased Raymond Chen.
I am from Missouri USA and collecting help is frowned upon due to our Libertarian lean. As far as jobs go, whenever I have a project or a job I short term rent or house share. My reporting is that of actual street boot stompin and witnessing. I got accepted to a housing program but got mugged by a hotel and repeats the trauma cycle of abuse.

Yup. For a looong time my email address has been the same: $firstname@$lastname.com

When I'm giving it to someone new it usually takes a few tries for them to get it right, even if they already know both my first and last names :/
So, this runs rather counter to the news stories I have been reading about the SF homeless situation. That means, either:

1) the numbers are bogus (e.g. they are missing a higher percentage of homeless in their count than they did in 2019)

2) the remaining homeless are more problematic in their behavior, thus causing more of a problem even though there are fewer of them

3) the newsmedia are just printing stories about the homeless in SF more often because it gets clicks, and homelessness is not actually a worsening problem in SF

I would be curious to hear from any SF-resident HN readers as to their opinions on which of these options is more likely.
Don't check for package updates during startup? Setup a cron job to upgrade the packages while you are asleep?
Awful to read about. Thanks Drew for Providing Alternatives!
Kind of an unproductive response, I'd point you to the site guidelines about reading charitably.

As someone who spent some time homeless during the peak of a past heroin addiction, I can tell you that the comment you replied to comes across a lot more grounded than yours.
I think we can be more nuanced and discuss casual relationships for suicide and those for homicide and recognize that there are many differences. If we aggregate the two we will likely have bad policy and be inefficient at fixing either.
This seems to be adding noise in the spatial dimension. However, we
know that it's possible to remove added noise using statistical
methods, so observers using passive RF monitoring may eventually adapt
their algorithms. Ultimately, TEMPEST-like and illumination threats
require shielding, and that's expensive in building materials and
work.

If this became sophisticated enough though, it could be used to
simulate false positives, so simulate human presence in a room, throw
off the observer or create unreliable evidence. Those are useful
counter-surveillance capabilities on their own.
East Germany’s plans for a space-age autofocus SLR (2021)
I'm not convinced by this. It works but for a subset of problems, not all of them. And it overlooks the fact that people might build on top of each other, I don't think that was taken in consideration. What about exploratory meetings, where people are trying to understand a problem in the first place, those happen to be synchronous because answers evolve in other questions.

Keep in mind that I never mentioned face-to-face, I just asked for synchronous time.

That being said, I'm open to explore the idea, I think I already do this for a certain subset of problems using Slack threads
The argument is that because so much is now cloud services in the browser, it makes centralised AD far less holistic hence better assess the cloud services settings for compliance.
There is some truth and risk in that, go reset the password of those 3 services not supporting SSO. Reality about security is to deal with the admin trouble, MS isn't removing processes, education, trust, and their costs, it likes to give the impression that it does hence asking you money for removing the difficult invonvenience of actual security needs
I use Hugo for my blog and keep it NPM-free. I try to be careful with my dependencies (currently 3; 2 of which I maintain), which I manage using Hugo's modules feature and keep local copies using the `hugo mod vendor` command.

My posts are in Markdown files, and I write them using either my text editor or Typora, which is a little more WYSIWYG and makes adding images so much easier.

Hugo's archetypes feature is great: running `hugo new posts/title.md` quickly scaffolds a new post based on a template from a Markdown file, with frontmatter entered already, and then opens that Markdown file in Typora, ready to start writing (you can add your editor in Hugo's config). While it wouldn't be too difficult to make a script that does this, I loved having this out of the box.
Seems weird to complain about a bad situation and then refuse the help that exists.
> If I have to use a subset of a language to avoid shooting my feet, why not just use a language without footguns?

Because it has absolutely nothing to do with footguns.

The main factors in picking subsets, beyond personal tastes on coding styles and office politics, boil down to a) introducing exceptions in legacy code, and thus the need to revalidate what is otherwise solid code, b) not be forced to deal with the complexity of template metaprogramming when the value it adds back is negligible.

The latency would be worse, but would the throughput still scale pretty much linearly? It might still be super useful.

Oh god think of the property values /s
The real issue is actually partisan primaries that push both sides further to the edge.

See what Alaska did recently for an example of how to fix this
This is great! I've been using Firefly III for years. However it consumes a good chunk of time to keep up to date at a line item resolution with many cards and accounts across countries as I've not automated any of it.
I never said it's easy, only that it's simple. Much like weight loss - very simple - just eat less. Not easy though. I don't need personal experience with obesity to make this observation either.
If you look below the throughput table you will see the 99th percentile latency of Dragonfly in the table.

Now, please take into account that DF maintains 99th percentile of 1ms at 3M! qps and not at 200K.
I mean, the 2nd guy is holding a meth bubble or crackpipe in his picture.. no judgements from me, I’m a recovering addict and alcoholic, but there’s plenty of drug abuse among the homeless population.
> dire predictions have been coming for decades (remember Al Gore)? And nothing.

And I suppose you think that's it's just a coincidence that we're breaking all-time-high temperature records year over year isn't it?
That definitely works if you have two functioning hands, and some may not. I would love a product like this.
I'm reminded of the article the Seattle Times did on a local homeless encampment that was in the Ballard Commons park for over a year. They did their best to make it sympathetic to the people living in the park, but it was hard to take it too seriously when the cover picture chosen had a visible crack pipe in it. Even in the linked article, "Coconut" has a crack pipe in his hand.

It's a complex issue, and people tend to talk about different things when discussing the homeless problem. As far as I can tell, there are two groups of people - able people who have been displaced due to financial, medical, job-related reasons and are now homeless, who need social support (in the form of cash) to get out of the poverty hole and not fall back in.

And then there's the second group, for whom living on the streets is preferable to entering shelters or rehab facilities due to a crippling drug dependency. This is the group that makes the headlines, mainly because they're the ones making public spaces unsafe (there's a headline every day about an assault in Seattle where somebody gets attacked unprovoked by someone in this second group of people).

What do you do with the repeat offenders who refuse to go to rehab and stay clean? Public spaces should be usable by all.
I'm not missing that at all, I'm saying two things, that for one, Microsoft does this support thing well enough and two, legislation doesn't have to take the easier way, if they'd say that schools must teach X, the market would figure it out somehow. It would probably even be a worse experience as it is currently, but that never stopped any legislator.
Somewhat tangential, but Andrei Alexandrescu was fundamental for this book -- he reviewed the entirety of it, providing a lot of suggestions and improvements, and also helped write a few sections :)
> I have made no shortage of mistakes, and there are plenty of hurt feelings which can be laid at my feet. I am regretful for my mistakes, and I have worked actively to improve. I think that it has been working. Perhaps that’s arrogant of me to presume, but I’m not sure what else to do. Must I resign myself to my fate for stupid comments I made years ago? I’m sorry, and I’ve been working to do better. Can I have another chance?

When you are working on yourself and reach new milestones, then it will take time until even your closest will recognize and really trust the observed changes. And I assume public / anonymous people will take even longer.

This can feel unfair, because these things are very hard like improving, changing your habits, getting a bit wiser, or learning a new skill. But it is how it is. People have an image of you and it changes in a delayed manner. It's even doubly unfair if that image is distorted in the first place.

Also people like jumping on negativity bandwagons. It seems to be one of the really stupid parts of human nature. I do it too, most people do it even if we try to avoid it most of the time. It sucks.
The republican party just in the last 10 years changed from Reaganism to populism. Even if the name is the same their platform absolutely is not. When a party realizes their platform is a loser it'll change its tune.
Are you trying to suggest people should not vaccinate because school is a higher risk to health than vaccination is a reduction of risk to health?

Maybe life is not only about survival but the upside to school is on balance worth the added risk, but not vaccinating is not worth the added risk (complications from vaccination are pretty small -- though I certainly don't advocate vaccination without any consideration of the risks).
> There are too many APIs that still want raw pointers.

Irrelevant. C++'s smart pointers deal with ownership and life cycle management. You can still pass raw pointers to objects managed by a smart pointers.

The only exception is when you're dealing with a framework which already handles life cycle management, such as Qt. Nevertheless, even Qt offers its own smart pointers suite.
>” Weird, starving people stole”

I have never seen an emaciated homeless person. I do not excuse “stealing to eat” when soup kitchens, food banks, and food stamps are available as alternatives to crime.
Why didn't you offer to let her sleep in your house?
I say this without judgement, but it's very possible that the OP isn't able to hold down a job: not through any fault of their own, but because employment is extremely narrow in what it can accommodate. As they clearly state, they're able to get a job but unable to keep one: your suggestion, while probably meant to be helpful, isn't very helpful when the world of employment is out of reach to a lot of people, not because they lack the skills, but because employers don't care to accommodate people.

For what it's worth, I'd be completely incapable of handling a minimum wage job.

Of course, I disabled. Why do you think it's suspicious?
P.S. You can easily reproduce it - I wrote the command line and the instance type.
Agreed. Really great piece of technical writing. Probably written by one of the rare developers who write better than I do. I want to clone him/her/they and work with them.
No, I'm not trolling and I live in the US. What part of the specifics do you take issue with?
I wouldn't say refuse, I was accepted to a program but got mugged and had to move to new location only to get mugged again. I think you are grossly over estimating the help there is or the strings tied to that help. I do still have legs and a brain and I work as much as I can, give back but I also dont sell out my work or myself or my goals or freedom.
It is kind of not a pile of picked cherries if you can read between the lines
Expensive housing did not cause the person in the article to decide to move to California with no job and no money. Some people just can't be helped and they think their disruptive behavior should be tolerated by society.
