I'm not questioning the interviewing process (ie. misrepresenting what was said in the interview), I'm questioning the publication/selection process itself (ie. conducting interviews but only choosing to publish the sympathetic interviewees, or deliberately profiling potential interviewees to select for the most sympathetic ones). I looked at the two youtube channels you linked, and while they might have unedited interviews, there isn't obvious indication that the interview candidates were selected at random or otherwise free of bias (ie. an continuous hour long video interviewing people one after the other).

How do the economics work out on the measures and countermeasures? I would guess that not all noise costs the same to remove.
Probably the same way you can construct a data oracle to project out guesses for what a time series will do?

The thinking goes: the more, nd better sources of market intelligence you can feed to the oracle, the better predictions it can make.

I would assume the oracle at delphi was being fed the most / best market intelligence to then prophesize from
Because it is the frontier which by definition is unstable!
So you are of the belief that, if it weren't for the regulations, the suburbs would be full of high density housing?
Sure. No argument there? It's fine if he expresses his opinions, and even if some people enjoy these opinions. Serious people just shouldn't take his opinions seriously.

Why? Because I've yet to experience an instance where his views were at all illuminating or helpful. For each and every issue I've seen him confront, he seems to choose the most shallow, uncritical, provocative path. It's Fox News-style opinion journalism for FOSS.
You didn't see many scientists saying this. But early on in the pandemic many people were saying Covid would be completely over if everyone masked for a month, or if we locked down for a month, etc. I saw this a lot within my own network of very liberal, twenty-something peers. Some people still believe this, albeit probably a small minority now.

They get bought by investment firms and such, then flipped for profits.

We have a real issue since the federal funding of affordable housing got cut by the federal government many years ago. Thus current owners/landlords are having issues keeping the prices affordable, then when they can't sustain the building anymore, they end up having to sell, and agencies with lots of money gets to scoop them up. So we are losing 15 affordable housing units for each one we build to real estates sharks.
I have seen some folks that don't realize they are bypassing the native-json parser by having debug logging turned on. So, could be that?
Builders aren't monoliths, and they're not part of any cartel. They are competitors. It is always advantageous for a builder to be the only one creating new housing; they benefit from supply restrictions that drive prices up, while selling new supply. It is always best for them to build as much as they possibly can, because no one builder can build enough to affect the market by very much.
As 'over' as it's ever going to get.
In that case it seems like the developers having more or less rules doesn't actually matter, no?
Tether is at 75B right now, up from 5B pre-pandemic.

> if that’s true and it falls 50%, who is going to put in multiple billions to try to prop it up?

Anyone who has information on the backing assets. If Tether embezzled or lost 30 billion and were able to buy back all USDT at 50 cents, they would make billions in profit as well as erase that shortage.
Admittedly I was only talking about the laws on most roads applying to 40M people. Bike laws vary from city to city and state to state. If it's not safe to pass, sure, hold the middle of the lane. If the lane is two cars wide, having six bikes span the whole thing is blatantly illegal in a lot of places. So are speeding and blowing stop signs (often done in tandem, going 40mph through a 25mph downhill stop sign).

I bike frequently too; I'm not saying that being a minor annoyance for traffic should be illegal, but that each side should just respect the other a tiny bit. Check your mirror before opening your door, stop at stop signs (both parties), .... It's not that hard to have a much safer world.
It collapsed because everyone started withdrawing their money at once, and then the whole house of cards collapsed.

That may be happening to Tether now. Take a look at Tether's market cap chart.[1] Click on Overview->Market cap-> 1 month. You can see the cashouts. Between 5:09 AM and 5:14 AM on May 27, 2022, the market cap of USDT suddenly dropped by $750 million dollars. There have been five huge cashouts like that since May 13th. About 12% of Tether has been cashed out in the last 3 weeks.

This never happened to Tether before. Until now, market cap was "line goes up". Biggest previous drop in market cap was about 1% in mid-2021.

So, how long can Tether pay out 4% of its market cap per week? Looks like we're going to find out.

Only maybe if you imagine developers as one person. It would always make sense for some new greedy developer to build a bunch of extra housing to drive down the cost because they still make more money that way
To be fair, its a very new tech - the ERC-721 NFT standard was introduced in 2018. Whatever could be built or not on it was lost in the madness of the bullrun.

An opinionated thorough demonstration on how to write C++ at scale. I didn’t agree one all aspects, though I have to admit it was the first book on C++ that clearly stated _how_ to actually design stuff both on a physical as well as on a logical level. Something which most other books on C++ won’t get into. All that being said I think it was pretty relevant for medium to large codebases
There already was a correction. People only care about the monthly cost, and rates going up 0.5% has just shaved a large chunk off the cost of the property which is not yet realized in the sales due to extremely low sales volume. Any failure to keep up with USA's rate hikes will result in CAD going down vs. USD in my opinion. If Canada's central bank does keep up with QT coming from USA, it will attack the cost of property via large monthly payments. I don't see any way around that. In comment to supply, the number of new housing units being finished in 2021/2022 is at record highs. Immigration has stopped due to covid, yet the price keeps going up. I don't buy the tight supply hypothesis. I think its just due to hoarding and speculation. Why sell when your asset goes up 20%/yr. Many people I know have 2+ properties here (don't forget cottages)
I'm not the original commentor, but I tracked this claim back to the reporting of a paper by Steve Pomeroy, who tracked the number of housing units with rent under $750 CAD a month between 2011 and 2016.

So I expect the answer to your question to be "they are still available, but at a rent higher than $750".
Well, as someone who had a decade of experience with the codebase I absolutely submitted PRs which were largely unreviewable because nobody else had that level of experience.

My safety net wasn't code review it was writing tests, and actually firing up the product and determining that it worked (which a large amount of people actually never bother doing, and I'd prefer that over code review any day).

In those cases we'd do some knowledge transfer, but I can't turn someone into a veteran with decades of experience in an hour or two of code review. I'd actually be happy to do a week of knowledge transfer on the issue and treat it like a PhD dissertation defense (which is about what they were sometimes), but nobody else would want to commit that kind of time, and no manager would want to commit the team to that kind of time.

And for knowledge transfer what usually works better is having more junior members of the team doing work on subsystems and guiding them through it. Even if it isn't peer review or pair programming, the iterative process of them hitting walls and asking questions is generally the best learning. That works better because they go off and commit the time to struggling with the problem, and then guidance has that platform to build on top of.

And you don't understand unknown-unknows... You can't address that by code review or knowledge transfer or peer enforcement, because it is all the absolute unknowns. A healthy skepticism can help prevent risky changes, but at some point the bugs that get through are often completely out of left field that literally nobody could have foreseen. There is no perfect process that can prevent those kinds of defects.
...yes? If I can buy four adjacent $1,000,000 homes and put up a mid-rise with 25 units at $400,000/each, I've just made $9,000,000 minus construction expenses.

recruiters for sure.

not trying to defend recruiting practices, but sometimes it's not even them. it's the game itself that's messed up. i mean, like having your email address, phone number. or your dob, marital status, every single place you have worked at for the past 5 years.

resumes are the worst for privacy.

been ignoring recruiters and scammers since forever. after uploading my resume to a few "trustworthy" websites.
Too much pressure?
> and very possibly the empathy

Yeah, exactly this. Open Source developers don’t care about how you work or what you want your tools to do. They care about what’s fun and interesting to program.

I can’t imagine forcing students to care about .rc files and whatever’s in /etc. Not to mention the differences between whatever shell is installed by default and the various other shells that are also scripting languages, etc. I’m a veteran programmer in my 50s and this shit is too much for me to care about. I have work to do. Editing text files in vim or Emacs is utterly stupid for most users. It’s not like TextEdit or Notepad don’t do most of what students need without a bunch of cryptic crap involved, or that IDEs wouldn’t allow students to delve into programming much more easily. I just don’t get the cult of Unix. Yes, it’s powerful for a large class of things that programmers like to do. But it’s a terrible OS for normal users. And that won’t change until the people making it and making tools for it grow up and think of someone other than themselves when they write programs.
If the free market were one entity that could coordinate and say "nobody build more housing, let's squeeze as much money from what we have already", sure, that would be pretty profitable. But if there are enough participants in the marketplace (which depends on the barriers to entry to homebuilding, like regulatory capture, knowledge, capital, and permits) one will want to undercut the others and build houses marginally cheaper than the competition until their marginal profit is zero. Having everyone agree not to build houses and keep prices high is like the "nobody snitch" outcome of a prisoner's dilemma: it's not a stable state/Nash equilibrium. At least this is what I heard in Econ 101, I'm sure I'm missing much nuance here.
As of several years ago, banks would provide csv files of transactions to customers. That's still more work than the paid options, but much less than individual transactions.

I suppose something like Firefly could create a module (or even sell one) that is preconfigured, and updated, with the best method for each bank - download csv, api, scrape, etc. In fact, they could charge for that service and fund development.

Or feudalism. No guarantee that the majority of the population will be able to afford houses at all; in many societies, you have a small landowning class (< 10% of the population) that owns literally all the land, and then a large number of serfs who must work for survival.
Dunno if he still have his Mastodon account, but after seeing continuous posts calling GNOME devs "complete idiots" and constantly bashing Rust for their decisions, I stopped following him completely.

You're seeing the posts in his blogs. His timeline was full of bashing devs of other open source projects. Never a constructive criticism, just plain bashing (with occasional self-congratulatory comment for his own decision).

PS: I think part of his Rust criticism was towards the attempt to make Sway use wlroots-rs and it not fitting his idea. So, instead of saying "Sorry, it didn't work", he jumped into full bashing Rust for not doing what he was trying to do.

By and large, if you don't write blocking code, it doesn't block. Big caveat here is the TRAMP logic to establish connections can block. Not sure why those weren't done in a more async way.
> “The government sees me as expendable trash, a complainer, useless and a pain in the a*," the woman said in a video filmed on February 14th, eight days before her death.

HN would be wise to keep in mind that, as a general rule, governments think this about majority of their citizenry (those who are not in power). You might think someone in there is looking out for your best interests because you're an upstanding citizen working a tie-and-suit job making revenue for IRS, CRA or whoever, but don't be fooled, you're one foot in the grave from their perspective and they will not give it a second's worth of thought to push the other one in there for you.

The rising costs/inflation, real estate, and a multitude of other problems that are coming to fore serve as examples. But it's what isn't being said, or talked about, that you should be on the look out for.
They put in some insulation between my kitchen and my wood shed which has a metal foil layer on it. WiFi waves are effectively blocked on it and if I want to use WiFi in the wood in the summer I plug in a Ubiquiti AP and a powerline network adapter there.
This is a fine example of the unintended but perverse side-effects that are created by state-assisted suicide. We basically offer death as a "solution" to a housing problem. The system settles into a new equilibrium that depends on a certain percentage of the population killing themselves because their situation is too miserable to cope with, thus creating just enough space for other people -- which then reduces the pressure on politicians to actually solve the housing problem. See also: abortion among poor people.
> We'd have giant apartment buildings on the edge of the city?

Not necessarily high rises, but certainly apartment buildings, yes. This is the development pattern you see in places like Austin, Texas.
>By the free market alone, letting everyone get a home sounds like a terrible decision

Ah, but that's the thing about the free market. It doesn't care, for better or worse. If the barriers to building new houses are low and demand is high, new houses will get built and prices will drop until an equilibrium is reached.

>On the other side, letting housing to be crazy expensive, with few people capable of getting a new house, will always be profitable.

You seem to have conflated a free market with one consisting of too few people with a great deal of regulatory capture, where the criticisms you've mentioned here apply.
I gotta say, I looked through some files. I wish my code was this clean. its some of the prettiest c++ I've ever seen
In a free market, no actor has the ability to 'let housing be crazy expensive'. If you don't build, someone else will and they capture whatever profit is there. This is the core of how the free market works.

People can only 'let housing be crazy expensive' when they can prevent others from supplying the market, which is only possible by wielding power, usually through the government. Which is what we have now.
What a current buyer wants in a Nash equilibrium of weird incentives and zoning laws, is the Just the Way Things Are?
I don't agree with you but I don't disagree either. Our use cases are very vanilla, and now that I have quite a bit of sway in my team, when people deviate from the showcased Kendo way, I push back and see if the desired way deviating from Kendo is a necessity or a nice to have. If it's the former, we sometimes have the experience you described, though I've often be helped by stackoverflow, their forums or Kendo's support team. (We pay for the 24 hour tier). If it's the latter then I force the Kendo way.
FWIW, their ODATA v4 support OOTB with dotnetcore webapi with its ODATA v4 out of the box with an EF model is the perfect pattern for most of our use cases. But again, I don't disagree with you either - but I would stress that any alternatives I've seen have their same range of issues.

I certainly don't think you should pick a permissive license, and find yourself under competition from companies running your own software.

However, I'm sad that instead of going with an Open Source license that protects against that, you're using a proprietary license. That alone is a nonstarter for many users, not because they want to compete with you but because they want to protect themselves and make sure they have a firm foundation to build on.

Much of the software you're citing as examples moved from Open Source to proprietary, harming their users in the process, and causing many users to seek alternatives.
He says he's trying to do better, but I'll believe it when I see it. Even his recent posts are full of mean sarcasm that probably rubs a lot of people the wrong way. This is from 2 weeks ago:

> Congratulations to Rust for its first (but not its last) supply-chain attack this week! They join a growing club of broken-by-design package managers which publish packages uploaded by vendors directly, with no review step, and ship those packages directly to users with no further scrutiny. [1]

And in the post where he's complaining about GoModuleProxy, he manages to self-righteously insult the entire Go team for no good reason:

>>You can get an apartment for $500. Health Insurance is $30, utilities $200

Right off the bat, you're not "getting an apartment for $500." MAYBE you can find someone trustworthy who can rent you a bedroom for $500/month in some cities but:

As of 2020, monthly rent averaged $1,164 nationwide; median rent is $1,104.

-- https://ipropertymanagement.com/research/renting-statistics

Only 7% of US counties have 1-bedroom apartments affordable on the prevailing minimum wage.

-- https://reports.nlihc.org/oor

Also, you need first month's rent ($500), security deposit ($500-$1000), utility deposit ($50 - $500), and sometimes last month's rent ($500).

So now we're talking a few grand. Better hope you spent the past three months working that guaranteed-40-hours/week minimum wage job without spending a single penny of your wages!

I also hope that your job is very close to your new apartment because you're going to need to spend a LOT of time chasing all the benefits that you seem to think are easily handed out and you don't have money for transit. Nope, you can't afford to take a whole day off work to wait in line for a free transit pass -- after all, you're going to spend $700 of this month's $900 income on housing and utilities!

At least make up numbers from this century if you're going to pull this Horatio Alger stuff :-)

It’s also one of the few that does a good job of forecasting balances.
Then again, demand for fossil fuels is also part of the equation. You get a remote programming job, demand to travel by car potentially goes down. So there's potentially a net reduction in emissions.
That’s true, but take a look at the zoning laws as well. Some places have better zoning laws than the US and Canada. I think that Japan is frequently mentioned here, because there are only a dozen types of zones and all of the ones that allow housing allow the property owner to rebuild at a higher density. (There are several types of industrial–only zones that give them a way to prevent homes from being built too near heavy industry.)
I think part of it is also level of effort.

You could right click "inspect element" in any browser and mess around in the html or the JS console and see things happening live. This is an extremely low barrier to entry.

Low barriers to entry are good, our profession is very well compensated and developed economies could certainly use low effort ways to get people from lower compensated jobs into higher compensated jobs* but that also means that there are a lot of cooks in the kitchen.

* yes, tech isn't for everyone (what job is?), and when I say low barrier to entry I mean you don't really need to subject yourself to what could easily be 5-10 years of schooling in medicine or law or engineering.
