For those of use who live close to these camps, "deal with" is the correct phrasing. As much as I want to be empathetic to people who need treatment for addiction or mental health support, there's a point where the camps begin to severely damage the community.

Examples I've dealt with personally: human shit on the front steps of my building, almost daily. Kids can't play outside because there are needles on the ground. Multiple neighbors' catalytic converters stolen, sometimes multiple times. Stolen cars without license plates. Entire encampments catching on fire. Bikes stolen from locked garages. Neighbors threatened with guns.

Where I live, there's a large part of the homeless population who refuses help from social services and won't go to shelters. I get it, shelters are shitty, but these people prefer to do drugs. I'm not the type of person who wants to call for forced institutionalization, but that almost feels like it would be more humane than the conditions these people are living in today.

This isn't a NIMBY issue, and until you've experienced it right outside your own house, you may not understand how bad the conditions can be.
Several attempts have been made already, the problem is overcomming the community's resistance to have one in the box, recently they have removed the APIs introduced in C++11.

> they're able to get a job but unable to keep one

(Genuine Q) if someone were to provide a home, would they be able to keep that?

I'm struggling to find an article I read years ago (feel sure it was somewhere at theguardian.com) in which it was proposed that just providing houses wouldn't all by itself "fix" homelessness.
I have the assumption you think that this is a witty retort meant to "own the" person you're replying to, but how about this for a genuine answer:

Because there are often laws or rules against that sort of thing. Taking in a long-term boarding guest who is unrelated to you is against city ordinance in many smaller jurisdictions, and if someone rents (like many do) their leases often prohibit such arrangements.

So now instead of one person looking for housing, you have two or more.

(Note that my reply omits all of the other arguments about how individual action for collective problems is very unlikely to solve the problem in a meaningful way and this is why we have societies and governments, and so on.)
>The right to privacy shall not be infringed

Yes, that wording has worked so well in the past.

>It's not the government doing it.

>It's not infringement if you have to do some paperwork and pay a tax first.

>It effects interstate commerce even if it doesn't involve an entity in another state directly.

I laud the attempt, but unfortunately you are going to have to get much more explicit.

The right to personal privacy shall not be infringed by any actor. No business that engages in a circumvention of this prohibition shall be considered to be operating in good faith unless X, Y, and Z tests are passed.

And in reality, you will see businesses structured such that you must jump through hoops X, Y, and Z must happen. So you'll need an additional clause.

Next, you'll end up with a Supreme Court challenge on free speech grounds, as not monetizing customer data will be seen as compelled speech by the government.
The fact is that workflows that are forced on you by hosting a project on SourceHut don't work for the majority of open source contributors anymore.

It's no reason for hate or any kind of personal attacks of course, but saying "then don't contribute" is not an option for most project leads that want to build successful open source software today. You have to choose your audience and the size of it.

"In the span of a few years, use of the term “girlboss” moved from earnest to ironic and barbed:"

Help is fundamentally a voluntary action - you ask for it and the helper decides what help to give and how to give it. In other words, charity. This isn't what you're describing, you're describing compulsion and entitlement. If you need help, you should ask for it, and if others want to help you, they will. Otherwise, your misfortunes and your failures are entirely your own to deal with.

That author just put a line on a time series graph and said the event that occurred somewhere near that line is the cause of the change. Thats not a claim based on official data, thats not even a valid attempt at analysis.

Let me plot a time series of temperature by day. Now I'll draw a line where we see firework sales increase massively. Then after that point, temperature increases consistently. Science, official data, etc. No lies here. But now lets claim.... shooting off fireworks increases the temperature of the Earth causing the temperature to rise until the fall/winter.

Univers healthcare almost always bans duplicate coverage. Without private insurance, a tiny fraction of people (<1%) can afford to bypass the public healthcare system. Therefore, it is not financially viable for all but a small number of doctors not to integrate into the public healthcare system.

We pay a ton of taxes in California already to deal with the homeless, yet nothing seems to get done. We need better government. There is no accountability for any of these programs that are enacted.
If you read the comment in good faith, which you should, I don't think they are saying they are the victim. I think they're saying that it's a problem on both sides, which is true. Having empathy for one side doesn't detract from the other.
The risks to children from the action necessary to prevent Covid infection -- namely, social isolation -- are well understood and far higher than their risks from COVID itself. Vaccines and masks are being mentioned a lot in this thread but neither are very effective at all in preventing infection.
There's also a fourth thing to take into consideration. The pandemic caused a lot of people in san francisco to start working from home, so a huge number of people who would normally be in higher profile areas, like in downtown, aren't there. BART, for example, has been running at a third the ridership it was pre-2020 (1). Thus, the few people left, especially the homeless, become all the more visible. When all you see are homeless people when walking down Market Street, it becomes easy to think that the problem is a lot more out of control than it is.

> What city are you getting a $500 apartment in

Probably possible with a roommate. Still possible without, but rarer. I’ve seen dirt cheap one rooms available (think like $350/m) in middle of nowhere Utah. In certain cities, you can even live in the city, for maybe a little more than $500. I’ve seen them for example, in Des Moines.

I wouldn’t necessarily blanket any region, as as you drill down, you find that some places where’s you’d expect cheaper housing don’t have it because of whatever local bureaucracy is preventing it.
Stablecoins or other central banks running their currencies should know better than the average Fortune 500, given that it’s pretty much their only job…?

The final point about positivism is important. Geeks love naturalistic explanations of mythological ideas, however far fetched. Trolls are really cultural memory of Neanderthals. Dragons are dinosaurs. The witch craze was due to ergot poisoning etc.

If anyone is interested in what actual historians think about such theories, read for example this: https://kiwihellenist.blogspot.com/2018/06/delphic-oracle.ht...
Tl/dr: The oracle speaking cryptic prophetic verses from a trance is a literary construction. So the ethylene theory is a trying to provide a naturalistic explanation for a fiction.
I don’t think it’s impossible. Ensuring prosperity, eliminating mental issues and insecurities (inherited via childhood trauma and spread by inflicting trauma upon peers) should go a long way. May or may not require a post-scarcity world though.
Feels like UNIX culture to me.

Go also has its own share of hacks by ignoring the history of language design since early 60's, while Rust remains to be seen how they will evolve the missing parts of error handling, co-routines, and system programming use cases from C and C++, where Rust still hasn't a mature alternative.

Both are definitly safer by default than either C or C++, however since Modula-2, Object Pascal and Ada, there were many other alternatives as well.

The OS vendors decided to go another route, and as we see here, the Chrome team isn't keen in following the Firefox route, rather improve the existing codebase.
I use Emacs all day, every day at work for the last 20 years. I'd like to see these changes too, but honestly it's not even close to being on my top 10 of frequent frustrations.

It's literally insurance. Making up stories about how our system works isn't going to change that.
Unfortunately, these maps remove all intuitions about where the heck you are, especially if you're a tourist.

The more scope is included in the map, the less comprehensible it becomes, as the layout bears no relation to how the places relate, like how relatively far away they are and in what direction.

Topological maps conceal truths like you might be able to walk faster between these two particular stations than if you take the train.

If all you have is a real map that doesn't have transit details, and a schematic transit map, it can be hard to have a complete picture.

Some middle representation is helpful: a caricature of the metropolitan area with the transit grid and stations shown at least loosely in the right places.

This article shows two maps of the NY subway system:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City_Subway_map

The one on the left is like what I'm talking about. The one on the right is more detailed. Both are better than a purely topological diagram with no relation to the places.

In contrast to something like this:

https://www.tokyometro.jp/en/subwaymap/

In both the NY maps, if you find the station where you're dcurrently located, you actually know from either map where in NY you are, and about how far it is to other places.

That would have lead to an opposite number of deaths, though wouldn't it? If the idea is that isolation leads to us being able to be less able to fight COVID then the earliest results should have been the least dangerous. Now this is complicated by strains and vaccines, but as the initial year went on the death rate should have been increasing. I have no idea if this was the case or not, do you?
So in your case, holding 'reduce power' then actually raises the power to the maximum?! It's like an additional slap in the face.

I think that's a matter of perspective. You can slap a mental illness label on anyone who's failing to thrive, for any reason. It doesn't somehow invalidate the idea that we all make decisions about our lives that have long-term consequences. It's no secret that drugs are viciously harmful to health. Why try them, even once, knowing this?
Because different types of software make good use of different subsets of C++. A "footgun" for one codebase is a "high-leverage feature" for another code base. The subset of "no footguns" C++ that is common to virtually all applications probably asymptotically converges on the empty set. A feature of C++ is that you can precisely select an optimally expressive subset for most applications instead of being forced to write code in language that clearly wasn't designed with your use case in mind.

Having a lot of tools in your toolbox doesn't necessitate using all of them in inappropriate contexts. I don't try to hammer a screw just because I own a hammer.
"Production ready" is meaningless without specifying the scale of the supported productions. A phone number and a yard sign is a "production ready customer acquisition, scheduling, and support system" for some businesses. As is "knocking on doors until someone buys your thing".
I don't argue the UX is lacking, i still hate using Photoshop even more, and would have liked, as a kid, to be told how to use open tools even if not as good.

We’re in the midst of a mass extinction event. If we lose the eco systems that support us we’ll go into decline as surely as every other species as high on the food chain as we are.

I’m not sure if civilization will collapse but it does seem like something that is probable. Do we have enough people with the expertise to maintain or build computing devices with limited access to fabrication? Can we still cobble together useful stuff from the piles of e-waste?

One easy thing we can do is push for policies that make it easier to access public infrastructure. Low-cost access to the poles, towers, etc.

Interesting times ahead.
These narrative approaches are maybe designed to 'humanize' the homeless for the benefit of the readers of the LA Times and I suppose that's fine, but a more statistical approach is what you'd want if you actually wanted to solve the problem. As far as solutions:

1. Triage first. There's a small fraction of the homeless population incapable of caring for themselves because they've got serious mental issues, and probably need institutional care. Mixing these people in with everyone else is a recipe for disaster.

2. Housing second. Putting people in even minimal housing, like tiny homes, where they can keep their pets too, and have a little bit of privacy and access to bathrooms (shower, toilet) and kitchens (sink, stove, fridge), means they can start getting their lives in order.

3. Jobs third. Once you've got a place to live, you can likely get a job of some kind. This really improves mental well-being, you're part of something else. Doesn't really matter what it is: you have a place to show up to and something useful to do and if you can keep that together, that's a huge help.

Now, even with this there will be failures. Some people will be drug addicts and alcoholics (same thing, really) and won't be able to keep down jobs or keep their places in a livable condition. They probably need health care intervention of some kind.

As far as the plausibility of all this, well, look at every other country will this kind of basic safety net for their citizens which prevents them from falling below a certain line. They don't have the homeless encampments in every city in their country, do they?

But sure, keep on with the tax cuts for the wealthy and the CEOs who make 50X what the entry level workers do and the expensive private health care, and the situation will stay as bad as it is or even get worse. It'll look a lot like Cuba under Batista in the early 1950s, or like Germany's Weimar Republic, and then you'll get either fascist or communist authoritarianism, fun times.
