That may be true, and it would be nice if people here were so considerate as well... yeah that's not happening.

However the ZONING codes could be adopted to much benefit. The BUILDING codes, I still maintain we need to spec even higher, so that I can have a refuge of solitude from the sounds, smells, and presence of Wheaton's Law failing humans.
The presupposition that anything is killing Emacs - much less this - requires concrete proof. Because if anything, in my (likewise subjective) experience it's the complete opposite. I see more forum activity from newcomers and more high quality packages emerging each year than ever before.

> like an insistence to not using fast native libraries

How? Even disregarding graphics and font stack which almost entirely leverages native libraries, my Emacs build links against gmp, libpng, librsvg, zlib, alsa-lib, libxml2 and so on. 27.1 introduced jansson for native json parsing over pure elisp, from 28.1 we can basically AoT compile elisp to native code using libgccjit, master branch (29) even bundles sqlite these days. That is not to mention module system had been stable for a while, and lot of packages already use this to offload computation heavy stuff to native code.

This is not quite what I'm looking for. It needs to be CLI based so it can work with local markdown files in a way that can be easily automated. Also this website isn't tailored for visualizing a database schema, so to repurpose it for that use case requires significant effort.

Seems a bit strange that Phoenix would be a desirable place to build a fab, given how water-intensive most processes are. Yes, the water can and should be recycled... but it just seems weird to build a plant like that in one of the parts of the country that will probably never have enough fresh water, compared to other areas where they can't get it out of the way fast enough.

Is it the labor pool there that makes it attractive? Energy costs? Something about state/local subsidies?

Mysticism is a not an "understanding of the world" but a way of framing our knowledge of the world and coping with the unknown and the unknowable.

The realm of the unknown and the unknowable shrinks as our tools advance but there are very good reasons to think it will never disappear as there are both provably unknowable truths amd facts that are practicaly impossible to learn.

> Faith takes over there, where just believing something irrational to be true, makes it true.

This only applies to a limited set of things (the unknowable), getting enough people to believe the world is flat won't make that a true belief, no matter how many people have how much faith.

The types of things that faith can make true are subjective, sociocultural or related to our inner lives.

> Unfortunately, the scientific method is a bit annoying sometimes, given it's absolute insistence all things may be disproved.

In no way, shape or form does the scientific method suggest this, let alone insist on it.

There is a long history of faith pairing quite productively with the scientific method. The network of scientific knowledge is primarily drive by one thing: curiosity, not any sort of animus against the mystical.
i predict that housing will become even more unaffordable ... now that big business has financialized housing to a greater degree than ever before, soon big business will be using some of their old tricks they used to build anti-competition moats in other areas--namely, paying politicians and the media to restrict the building of more housing and making housing even more expensive to build...

I'm curious people's thoughts about the housing cost political equilibrium/cycle idea.

Here's the theory: Cost of housing is a major issue for voters. Home owners, especially new home owners, want their homes to increase in value to pay off their mortgage / get return on their investment, while non home owners want to be able to get an affordable mortgage. When most Canadian voters own homes (ie today), a politician causing house prices to decrease is political suicide. So the prices increase.

The housing cost should keep going up until, due to continued immigration/aging of minors, the majority of voters do not own homes. Then at the next election cycle, policy will change, and housing prices will start going down again. Maybe immediately due to raised interest rates, maybe slowly due to kickoff of long scale housing development projects.

The question is, are these forces the strongest influence on the housing market? or are there other market forces which disrupt the political equilibrium (and what are they)?
These things really are out of the bag at this point. Google and OpenAI won't release their checkpoint but it's really just a matter of time (not long, just months probably) before some random group of people with enough patience and data (you really don't need insane compute if you just have patience on the scale of a few months) releases fully working text to video models ready to use.

Exciting times.

> I find the idea of having a file system full of links in it a bit odd

I used to be a Mac user. Everything stored settings in resource forks and binary. When I moved to Windows, it was weird to have a registry for most things and some things used .ini files that were more useful. It was nice to have user-readable settings even if they were in obscure places and directories.

When I moved to Linux, dotfiles all made a whole lot more sense.

I've helped others learn how to Linux. Windows hides a lot of things in order to make the user experience idiot-friendly. I've had to un-teach them the crap that Windows teaches them.

New Yorkers say this stuff all the time to defend their unique geographical subway map, ignoring that the map is still so far zoomed out and inaccurate that it doesn’t help a tourist at all with any understanding that is relevant to walking distances. At the same time, the nyc subway map is incredibly confusing and idiosyncratic, tourists will keep getting confused and lost thanks to it while trying to navigate the actual subway system the map is primarily supposed to explain. How about making the map simpler, removing essentially useless geographical information but making sure ppl don’t get lost on the way to their destination stop.

>2. Dishwashers are expensive to people not on tech salaries. All upfront costs are difficult; a smaller upfront payment with a recurring monthly/quarterly subscription payment is much more manageable for many people.

I really think this line of thinking needs to die. Micro financing isn't helping the poor, it's exploiting the poor. It doesn't help to make the total cost of everything much more expensive.

I don't know one single UI/UX development environment which is elegant and nice.
From Android to iOS to Linux to Linux and Windows to browser UI kits. They are all complex and require constant searching for answers. The libraries are very big and require a complex tooling setup. You can never be an expert in all of them. At least not me.
People who claim cheating will affect you down the line don't understand how the real world works, unless you're a doctor or programmer you rarely directly need the skills taught in school because most jobs are much simpler than school work.

Only when we automate away this simple jobs can we start catching cheaters 'down the line'.
Front end develoment has never been more fun if you can keep up with the pace. Finally all major browsers have decent standard support (no Internet Explorer anymore), so crutches like jQuery are not needed anymore.

Developers constantly find new ways to implement front end apps, and they are not afraid to break backwards compatibility. This may be bad if you have an old monolith to maintain, but overall it's a good thing IMO.

Also, this is not limited to libraries. Have you looked at what speed Chrome devs are implementing new APIs? It's insane. And great.

> If you're buying "tax-free" from a supplier, that part goes "onto your books" when it goes into your inventory. If you don't put that part into a product and sell it relatively quickly, you owe tax on that part as it sits on your shelf.

I admit to not being a CPA, but that... doesn't make a ton of sense to me. What sort of tax do you pay on inventory?

My understanding is that it's not tax that's the issue, but the tying-up of capital in inventory that's generally being minimized. If interest rates are 3% and you have $1M in inventory, that's $30k per year in interest you're paying in order to hold that inventory, plus the physical costs of warehousing it.

And the MBAs naturally look at cutting costs as the fastest and most direct route to improving profitability.
> Asking sincerely because this take is surprising to me: which specs are you referring to?

I'd like to see the Web Components spec revisited: it has a) no API for passing non-string attributes to other web components, b) no API for declaratively updating your DOM subtree - you either do manual surgical DOM changes, or blow away your (potentially stateful) children and recreate them.

Without these, the raw web components API isn't suitable as an alternative to React et al. You've got to build a whole framework around them (like Lit), and at that point you're just using another framework.
I replied with the specific reasoning as it relates to central bank policy.
It's not one or the other, they can do both. You think that a company would rather do a stock buyback and NOT keep their factories in running order so their stock will tank right after they buy back their stock at a higher price?
Mainline memcached is very well tuned, so it's sort of the odd one out here.

>the only difference between now and then is we have far, far more regulations and zoning rules in the way.

Some places have more or less run out of land. For example Vancouver is limited in it's north, west and south expansion by mountains, ocean, and an international border respectively. I believe there are similar issues in San Francisco, Seattle, New York, etc.

Indeed, higher density is the answer... I'm just pointing out that the increase in regulations is not the "only" thing that's changed.
joe_the_user You have entirely missed my point.

10k is 1% of a million.

So <0.018% of 607 million.

At a company exit at $6 billion (very unlikely), the shares would be worth about $120,000.

For perspective Twitter went public at $14 billion and Google at $23 billion.

So a Google size IPO would be less than half a million dollars.

That’s without additional dilution, liquidation preferences for preferred stock, and getting fired to increase returns for those first in line.

And less exercise price.

And capital gains taxes.

It’s not a bullshit offer, because the company hopes your friend believes in it.

That makes it horseshit.

Good luck.
Humanity probably will not be wiped out, but the current global civilization will collapse like it happened to many other civilizations before because they reached the ecological overshoot. I also thought that something "could be done" on a large scale, but after studying the problem in depth (starting with the IPCC report), I began to prepare on the community level for the impact in the next 10-20 years. That's the only area where something can be done.

By the way, BBC is not a reliable source, like other neoliberal propaganda they bet on continuing "business as usual" while coming up with some innovative solutions (so-called "techno-hopium").

Given the lead time of building a fab and producing components, trying to incentivize the production of specific devices that happen to be in short supply right now is probably not a great plan.

The market does a pretty good job of sending demand signals to producers, faster than the government can generally create and pass incentivizing legislation.

But if you don't have the production capacity in the first place, encouraging that to be built out (which is a long-term process) does seem like something where government can meaningfully intervene.

This is a non-issue. The overhead is tiny. You can take the time to find out... but development life is really really hard when we let nebulous fear guide us. This fear of bloat is abstract; while perhaps having some small shade of absolute truth in practice the impact is invisible, & more than made up for a dozen times over by the benefits.

> and fill a gap that really shouldn’t exist.

Here you are onto something. Bundling exists because of necessity more or less, that modules were slow to evolve in JS and started on the server side.

Borwsers now structurally can load modules, the language defines what modules are (EcmaScript Modules, ESM), and a decent % of packages ship as ESM. There's some hangups around how to use them- a spec called import-maps[1] is pretty much required, short of painful rewriting of the distributed modules with rewritten hardcoded paths, but the big challenge we're still facing is transport. We're still trying to get fast at sending a lot of small files. Works like early-hints are starting to emerge but for now, bundling our assets into a couple bigger files is still a huge performance win.

Never happened to me. I mostly used it on very old hardware Core 2 Duo with on-board Intel graphics though. Everything seems great on a modern AMD laptop as well but I run XFCE (for sake of using the Chicago95 theme) rather than KDE on it and it's been just about a year.

Perhaps one of reasons why it worked this reliably for me is I turnt composition off (there is a handy hotkey for that in KDE) but it worked nice with it enabled as well. I only switched it off because I never managed to invent a reason for it to be enabled.
