> Citing environmental concerns and a lack of housing, an increasing number of cities and some West Coast states are reconsidering mandates that all homes, offices and businesses offer a minimum number of parking spots for residents, workers and customers.

> "Most Americans drive to most places, and that's going to be true 20 years from now, there's just no way it isn't," Herriges said. "But we desperately need to make the alternatives more available to more people and at a price point that's available to more people. Parking is the biggest obstacle standing in the way of that."

No, it's really not. Local governments and NIMBYs that control them prevent changes to zoning laws that could actually help alleviate housing issues. How about letting MFHs go up in your SFH zoned neighborhood? How about getting rid of arbitrary limits on how high you can build up?

> "If you have more compact, walkable, mixed-use areas and you eliminate or reduce those off-street parking requirements, people drive less," McCurdy said. "They might not need to own that second car. Or a car at all. And they certainly use it less often and drive fewer miles. So it's kind of a win-win all around on housing affordability and climate."

I think this hits the nail on the head. Mixed used areas should be present pretty much everywhere. I lived in Germany for almost ten years and I've never encountered a town in the US much like the ones there. I lived in a single family home, but right next door was an apartment building, and on the same exact street at the corner was a Totto Lotto. On the street perpendicular to the one I lived on was a bakery, a clothes shop, a gas station, a small grocery store, an asian food restaurant, and an ice cream shop. I could easily walk to various shops because the zoning laws allowed for it. In Japan even the most residential of zoning still allows for shops to be run out of them. In the US we hardly allow businesses to be in vicinity of housing.

I do think it's fair that we do need roads for large vehicles because we can't magically transport bulk goods from warehouses into local shops, but there's probably a better solution than what exists currently in most American cities. There could maybe be better bifurcation on the use of roads that still allows safe pedestrian/bicycle traffic.

I also do think that parking lots are a waste of space, at least the surface level ones. I just don't know that I agree that it's a low hanging fruit like these people do. You can't get rid of them until you alleviate the need for them. You can't do that until you make changes in policy through the government or a broad change in requirements for commuting in the first place, like expanding WFH.

Change the zoning laws.
What’s the parallel of that metaphor wherein only equality of opportunity is sought, though?

> The HIG has merged its platform-specific guidance into a unified document, making it simpler to explore common design approaches while still preserving relevant details about each platform

i’m very much against this approach of generalizing design

instead of strict rule set they now offer some opaque suggestions

this is how material design lost its meaning

hopefully this decision won’t result with everyone implementing their own design language rather than using the standard the platform dictates

frankly, same design language across all apps is what makes me choose Apple software

this looks like an attempt to keep their design language to themselves while asking others to implement their own

You have to weigh the good with the bad.

The secret ballot is essential, as compromise of that secrecy enables vote selling and voter intimidation. One of the reasons New York had tabulating machines and kept them was to limit the ability of political machines to interfere with elections at the local level. Tammany Hall operatives and others would retaliate against voters who didn’t do what the machine wanted. (Later those machines aged and became a liability)

There’s no such thing as a perfect process, and while your idea is a worthy way of providing validation, it creates more serious issues that ultimately undermine the democratic process.

If you have any kind of audit background they answer to ensuring integrity is always a same: a well defined process where different individuals are responsible for different parts of the process and are audited to achieve best practices.

The reality is that measures designed to target individual voter fraud are solving a problem that doesn’t exist and are done to suppress turnout.

The actual risk of voting related fraud is pretty obvious - political partisans with the access and ability to intimidate or bypass civil service employees from following the process. As a nation, we should be lauding the courage of the GOP election commissioners in Georgia who risked their careers and perhaps their lives to defy a demented president. Whatever the politics, those are people with integrity.
> Why would one compare a function to a type?

Aggressively minified and optimized JS code results in all sorts of weird things.
> We could have parking stalls and walkability and bicycles if capitalists didn't demand the rates of return on money, or workers didn't cost as much as they do, or land was more reasonably partitioned across the populace rather than grand fathered in from antiquity.

When the three options you offer are "rich people being okay with less money" "forced labor" and "redistribute land more equally" it seems like a rather thinly veiled push for Georgism...
In VS Code the collaborative editing (live share) seems like a dirty workaround put on top of an architecture not built with multiple users in mind.

I use live share all the time because it's the best thing we have for pair programming, but I often wish for a better solution. We often get disconnected for no reason, editors get out of sync, terminal sharing is near useless.

If you can produce something that doesn't feel like a hack, then I'm all in!

Features I would love to have:

- Terminal sharing should work like tmux with window size "smallest". It's the best solution I've found for having a shared terminal.

- Let us join a collaboration session from the terminal: `zed [URL]`. No annoying website that takes ages to open, or having to open the editor before joining the session.

- Let me start a server on a port and let others join that server. I can forward that port if I need to.

- Let me start a headless server on a shared dev env, and let me and others connect to collaborate
There's a ton of fearmongering over people getting snatched up off the streets and being brought into trafficking in QAnon circles.
the proposal is for type annotations, which are to be treated as comments. i want type checking to be done in the browser, whether it's before the javascript is run or at runtime isn't important, the point is that i want the browser to explicitly be forced to do it. and then if I'm sure my types are correct and I want to speed things up, I can strip out the type annotations. but this means that for smaller scripts, or in general during development, you don't need an extra compilation step at all.

I want the browser to reject feeding a string into a number parameter of a function, at which point it does this isn't important to me as much as that it should be more than just a comment that is ignored completely.
>> If someone doesn't fit into one of those boxes

That's kind of the point of using them though. The goal is to -stop- saying "you either fit into this gender binary, or you are 'other'".

It's kinda like normalizing the use of "partner" instead of "husband/wife" even for the straight married people; it helps normalize relationships that fall outside of monogamous, state recognized marriage, and doesn't force gender definitions (what if you're in a committed relationship, or married, to an NB person?) or force releasing sexuality just to indicate you're in a relationship (i.e., the person maybe doesn't want the fact they're gay to come up in this setting).

Providing your own pronouns, even if you're cisgendered, is a form of allyship; you're normalizing it, and helping create space for those whose pronouns don't match how they present to provide theirs.

>It doesn't even have to be much less, just no longer require it and it starts to solve itself.

This will never happen because the bulk of the people pushing for less cars a) see regulation as an inherent good and would rather regulate toward the outcome they want than just dispose of bad regulation and watch it happen organically b) wouldn't be caught dead agreeing with libertarians.

I think they understand open source (and show it by many projects) but like you said, it is not their core philosophy.

They are a proprietary software and cloud vendor super house. They are very successful like that. Open Source is 3-4 level down to their main strategy.
I heard the pathfinding is slow, and that's almost readonly and very parrallel. So a model where the game only threads this part might be a first step.

Anecdotal, but everyone that I can recall from my uni's CS cohort who used video games as motivation to learn CS were ultimately bad or middling programmers, who were basically only employable by these game companies that pay crummy wages with bad work culture.

It makes sense somewhat - the skills and talents for, say, racing cars has almost nothing to do with the skills or talent to design and construct an engine.
The US tried this with their first constitution which lasted barely a decade. And the the macro scale issues these days are significantly larger than what they had to deal with back then.
The fun part about this is that TJHSST did edit the admissions process so we can actually test Aaronson's claim.

From class of 2024 to class of 2025.

* Economically disadvantaged students: 0.62% to 25.09%

* Black students: 1.23% to 7.09%

* Hispanic students: 3.29% to 11.27%

* White students: 17.70% to 22.36%

* Asian students: 73.05% to 54.36%

The raw increase in black students is larger than the raw increase in white students. But Aaronson predicted a "drastic increase" in white students and for the number of black students to increase by "a bit." Oops.

You can slice stats further. The number of asian students who are also on free and reduced lunch increased between years.
I think a lot about the emotional abuse the Overwatch team has faced over the years. They created a once in a generation experience which outperformed every reasonable expectation (OWL was not a reasonable expectation unless you are on shrooms).
well, if you don't have type annotations, nothing is enforced, obviously. but you can pretty easily make it legacy-code compatible by just having type annotations be optional, but enforced if present
Ask HN: Help) Twitter Account/Trademark
Time and time again I have seen appeals to the HN community for help on some type of customer service issue in the tech industry to great effect, I am asking for that help.

In short, this year I became the owner of a (once famous) trademark. The Twitter account matching the trademark is suspended/not in use. My goal is to obtain the Twitter account that matches my TM for obvious branding purposes and to generally protect the goodwill of the TM.

Twitter has an online process to report alleged TM infringement and request the account. I used the same without success, the Twitter response was that the account was suspended, thus not infringing, and otherwise declined to give me to have the suspended account/handle. In my opinion, while not classic TM infringement, a suspended Twitter account does in fact cause the same type of damages to the goodwill of my TM and brand as that of ordinary TM infringement. Moreover, it seems reasonable that the public would likely think that the TM holder (me) violated Twitter’s TOS/engaged in suspicious activity resulting in a suspension, and that perception naturally causes harm to the goodwill of my mark/brand.

I have an obvious bias as the TM holder, but my opinion is they should give me the handle that matches my TM. The account is suspended anyway, it has been for years, thus there is no harm or loss anyone else by giving the TM holder the account/handle.

Ultimately I think this amounts to a customer service issue, but one that needs a little public support to get any attention. I have no expectations randomly posting to HN asking for help, but I’ve seen it move mountains in the past.

Most of the contemporary zealous acolytes of Adam Smith would be shocked and angered by what he actually wrote, were they to try reading it.
How would they know? They spent the last 10 years playing video games, they literally worship those companies. It's still not widespread enough as knowledge that those employers are literally all shit. And if that's your first job, how would you know it's better somewhere else? Got to learn the hard way.
Socialism does not require an entirely different system, one can implement it just fine in whatever democracy one happens to be operating, so large chunks of it are just tweaking some numbers.
And some numbers do kinda make a large difference between having to worry about the bank account running dry before the next paycheck or not or being one fall down the stairs away from bankruptcy.

It also declined somewhat since the ~1970s when it was somewhat more socialist than today.
But still it is quite a bit more socialist than the US: the points you already mentioned, plus things like universal healthcare, more employee protection, stronger unions (and unions are not a bad word), more paid vacation days (by law not because one has a nice job) and more public/affordable housing.
They often leave bc they can't afford to be further in, or the schools aren't good, white flight, or the love of a green grass yard (also btw not long for this world) Not because they dont like the density.
> 100ms latency works fine with Remote Desktop Protocol when typing.

This may be the crux of the issue. I've been confused when proponents of the idea indicate the experience is fine or preferable to local use as if the latency wasn't there.

I don't think we can agree if one side thinks 100ms latency when _typing_ is ok. Meanwhile other people are giving some of the new terminals flac for having 40ms vs 10ms latency (https://danluu.com/term-latency/). I tend to agree with the second group more.

The tool that monitors cache consistency is easy to build. That by itself doesn't solve anything major. The most important contribution is a novel approach on consistency tracing that helps find out "why" caches are inconsistent – pinpoint a bug is much harder than saying "there is a bug". This is based on the key insight that a cache inconsistency can only be introduced (for an invalidation-based cache) in a short time window after the write/mutation, this is what makes the tracing possible.

> How is that solving a computer science problem?

It depends on your definition of a computer science problem. I am definitely not solving P = NP. By your definition, does Google's Paxos Made Live paper solve a computer science problem?

The claim is more a play on Phil Karlton's quote, as the work here makes cache invalidation much easier (in my opinion). Also Phil Karlton's quote doesn't necessarily _make_ a problem a computer science problem, don't you think? I think it's a good quote and there's a lot of truth in it.

> if you want to build a high-rise without parking even if lots of people want to live there

Yes because those people still own cars and they park those cars in other peoples parking areas. The cars don't magically stop existing, the developer just has a better bottom line because they have been subsidized.

It's really a testament to how soul crushingly boring working in non-games tech is that people keep eagerly volunteering to be abused exploited and disrespected like this (at not even one of the very best game companies, just a mid-high tier one!) rather than work a Series C startup making 2-3x with good WLB
Ah yes, communists are famous for wanting to repeal government regulations on housing!
Precisely. You can’t make something a prerequisite to voting if every voter doesn’t have it. And the US is very much against the concept of a national ID. So you can’t have a national ID requirement.

And as another commenter points out, it’s not that an ID requirement is racist, it’s that the motivations for it, knowing its impact, are racist.
On the other hand, I think it's weird that there's a term for it at all. For how often I need to refer to either concept, "brother's wife" and "wife's sister" are both easy enough to say.

But it doesn't surprise me that we refer to then as people of the same generation; it's not much different from "step-brother" in that regard.
A few days ago someone got confused by traffic patterns and shouted angrily at me from his car window. He was in the wrong, but still it sticks in my mind.

No, because literally every other true democracy on Earth has found a way to keep elections safe and anonymous. You don't need to to be able to trace ballots back to voters actually I'd argue being ablr to do so is deeply undemocratic.

The formula is simple: Central, automatic voter registration, easy access to ID cards (the general one, not a voter Id. You know, the thing most use to identify citizens instead of drivers liscences), easy access to polling stations, no Gerrymandering and paper ballots. That's all you need.
Doordash has had similar. Such an incredible waste of resources.
I guess this relates to another current thread [1].

The games industry is it's own weird universe of madness at quite
another level.

I once had business with a large AAA house in Cambridge England, in a
big glass corporate headquarters. When I visited I was greeted by an
attractive, kind of gothy/emo young lady who had visible self-harm
marks. A senior person turned up and there was a really weird
dynamic. She was obviously not supposed to have met me. The guy gave
her a look, and her reaction was something that stank of domestic
violence situations. There was something abusive and creepy going on
that really threw me off balance. This was at least 5 or 10 years
before the gamergate and metoo stuff.
