>who may be skeptical of centralized policymaking.

Oh, we're talking about zoning?

>The main thing a LVT creates is constant churn as (retired) people cease to be able to afford to live in their homes, incentivizes being a landlord, and punishes family wealth creation via home ownership (which is a barrier to class mobility)

Yes, this is in fact literally the point.

You can't have a growing population, and then depend on land ownership to generate wealth in perpetuity. There's only so much land. The class mobility point is especially hilarious. Yeah, Joe the Waiter is really going to be able to afford the $1.5 million 2000 sq ft house in Seattle to move his family up the ladder.

> It is my belief the software is serving the betterment of society if it offends the people who don't approve my activism ;-)

When has ideological grandstanding ever been a successful strategy for convincing anyone of anything? Surely it would just further entrench the convictions of those who disagree with you, harming your own cause and helping theirs gain legitimacy in the eyes of those who are not convinced either way.
In the US, you might end up having to send a whole bunch of 1099s, which I am sure would be a pain.
There's a reconciliation, necessarily in a civil society, between promoting privacy and doing what's possible to stop child abuse. Should Apple allow child porn to be hosted on its cloud servers since that's the pro-privacy stance?
Yes, for the things they cover Rtings is excellent.
Fun fact, if a train is cancelled in Belgium, it doesn't count in the delayed statistics :)
I just carry whatever powdered detergent is available locally. I've tried the camping strips but I don't really see the point for my use cases. The powdered stuff does seem to set off airport scanners in the US if you have too much of it.
A possible solution? Would love to hear any feedback - please shoot this down with any flaws you find!

What if we had a centralized certificate authority that verified a person? Imagine you walk up to the DMV and get a private key (password). When you go to a website you generate a public key and send it to the website you visit. That website uses the public key it received to send a message to the certificate authority to verify you (true/false). Now Instagram knows you are real, but are you faking? I claim to be "First Last" to Instagram. Instagram encrypts "First Last" using the public key and sends it to the certificate authority. If the certificate authority is able to decode "First Last" using the private key then it returns (true/false).

Could we extend this to solve user privacy?
What if users said "Track me all you want as long as you don't know who I am". Websites can still serve targeted ads but users get the privacy that you are incognito. Instagram now knows your name but they also want to be able to identify you across the internet. So Instagram could also ask the certificate authority for a "personId" that identifies the person across the internet. But now you say, wait now Instagram knows my name and all my activity through my "personId". This is where the Engineers come in. We would have to make any code or action that connects "personId" to a human _illegal_. You write the code, you go to jail. This burden would only fall on websites that ask for someone's human identifiers (name, address, common geolocations, etc.). But that code isn't needed anyway! There is no reason to store "personId" and "First Last" together because you can always get a "personId" when the user gives the public key to the website. So if someone ever writes that code / uses that data query it's punishable by law.

So now we have
1. Every website knows it's users are real
2. Every website can know a user is who they say they are
3. Every website can track unique visitors and their internet activity (while not knowing who they actually are)
4. Every user is completely "anonymous". Yes the information could get out, but only temporarily because any code (even a news article or blog) that contains this connection is illegal.
Python's OO does support features like multiple inheritance, which makes it more sophisticated than e.g. Java.

Java forbidden multiple inheritance because of the function overriding or diamond problem.

Also Python OO has a lot to improve.
Even with zero customization, just using it for a Kanban board is incredibly slow and frustrating. My 2-person team was using the free version of Target Process and needed to migrate to something else since we hit the entity limit, so we went with Jira because it seemed like the industry standard. What we got was the slowest initial page load and slowest interactions of any webapp I've ever used.

After struggling along for 2-3 months, we moved over to Clubhouse (now called Shortcut) and the difference in speed and overall experience is night and day.

> You mean as hard as when Git obliterated every other VCS within the span of a few years

There's not a concept impedance mismatch going from CVS->SVN->GIT. The concepts are so similar that git-svn exists to convert a SVN repo into a git repo (and a similar conversion tool exists for CVS->SVN)

Jira is so flexible and configurable that no such tool could exist. Migrating to a new tracking system requires that you either lose all currently tracked issues and their history OR you spend the money and effort handcrafting for your org a Jira->Foo translator to preserve some semblance of history. The larger and more diverse the org, the harder such a tool will be to craft.

> How do you think every single company in the world started to develop for iOS between 2008 and 2010?

Phones and anything Apple are reviewed to oblivion. There are some incredible consumer product review YouTube channels out there too.. The Best one imo is project farm (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vO3UX4oEnZI). If you're into headphones, Crinacle's site/YT are on a completely different level than any other review site

I really hope LMG does videos in these styles with their lab
You seem to be arguing for conscience as the fifth force of nature, or something quite close to it. That's basically magic.
If this is true (and I assume it is for the sake of argument), then it's pretty obvious that there's an element of coercion at play. This is not happening because the HK universities decided that they should do so. My comment obviously presupposes that a university is acting autonomously or independently, and this assumption largely holds true across space and time: even throughout History and in challenging political regimes, universities have tended to be at the forefront of academic freedom.
Ok, I looked. And now I will tell you with great ease.....it is not of a "real productive use".
My girlfriend is an Apple nut (she even asked for airpods for her birthday, now that I've listened to her use them for a two way conversation I can safely say they're garbage) and she tolerates me not only not having an iPhone but even using cheogram for all my MMS. We just use other protocols for chatting more than the protocols "messages" supports.

She even gave me one of her old iPhones to try to convert me but I wasn't impressed and eventually she dropped it. Would iMessage help if you're single? Maybe the same amount having some fancy shoes would but IMO it's really a surface level thing.
Windows Mixed Reality does this, and remarkably well. Launch an app from the VR "start menu" and it'll open as a floating window positionable in 3D space. Bonus is that you can use your mouse and keyboard still in VR, with mouse / keyboard focus on the window you're gazing at.

Downside: as far as I know, you need a WMR headset to use it. There might be mods to use the Mixed Reality Portal (the VR window manager) with other headsets, though.

Here's a random YouTube video demonstrating it: https://youtu.be/gPkcDg8IECU
Unions are adversarial organizations designed to balance an existing structure that can't be easily removed, but this is about "if you were inventing a new kind of organization that didn't need an adversarial structure, what's the best way to do so?" and you can do much better than management-vs-union there.
>>"You don't need fancy planning systems to get good work done"

I mean, as a single individual, in some circumstances, sure.

If we think a bridge or railroad or spaceship get built without fancy planning, we've taken our software engineering paradigm to new level of delusion. Why does engineer or constructor worker understand that you need planning to align thousands of people over many years to build a great big thing, but we feel in software we are just too darn special of snowflakes to need or agree to that?

Sorry if I got your comment way out of context or scope, but it just struck me as a very circumstantial statement, but one that is bandied a lot as a generically applicable one - which it isn't. For many things you need very fancy planning indeed.
How is that actually better? Like, what part of that makes it faster/cheaper/better?
Right, but the comparison here is that Meta also does this, in addition to selling every iota of information they have you.

Content scanning is just an assumed part of every major tech platform these days. That of course doesn't necessarily make it right, but it still places Apple's privacy stance significantly ahead of Meta.
I find it very underwhelming (and I was already suspicious to begin with). My wife got one for a conference and after doing the First Steps and being used for her conference, it's basically just gathered dust other than showing friends First Steps (after recharging it because it's just been sitting in its box for weeks or months). The Jurassic Park/World/whatever game was OK, but I was basically bored after an hour or two (I did not find it very immersive at least). Certainly not groundbreaking. My mom has it now and enjoys the roller coaster sim (which is quite vertigo-inducing and limits the playtime substantially), but without shelling out cash for unknown-quality software (something I find too risky at their price points) it's basically just a few gimmicks so far in my experience.
Small home or not, homes are not sealed environments. A 10x difference is a 10x difference.

Using one small number or produce another small number, so the difference looks small, doesn't hide the 10x change.
Wirecutter is exceptionally "affiliaty".
This is such a typical web 3 page. It doesn't even try to tell me what it is about, except promising "quadratic" money showers for open source Blockchain apps.

Apparently "the mathematically optimal way to fund public goods in a democratic community". Mathematics sure have increased in scope since I left uni.
I'm fine with Jira now. As long as I don't have to use it that much. I agree about conversation being a second class citizen. I wish I could get integration with my mac notification system more easily. But the positive is that I can do a screen recording and drag and drop that video straight into a comment which is cool
It's currently a bit broken on Android.

I select some text and then try to change the font size. The selection is lost when tapping on the font size menu.

ProseMirror does keep the selection intact.
I don't really get the hate to be honest. Maybe it's just me, but our DevOps team seems to have squeezed the best out of Jira. They organized the workflow very well, the Bitbucket Integration is seemless and I can easily get to the builds of my current issue and see what happens there.
The only gripe I have about Atlassian suite is confluence. It's a mess.

I think it really depends on how Jira and the overall workflow is taken care of. For our part, it has been a pretty good experience and the DevOps team used the APIs pretty well and wrote their own tools.

To be honest, I don't have used many other tools, but it seems like our company has made a good choice in configuring the whole system "just right".
But little to no dust will get into your computer, meaning less cleaning is necessary.
I think the problem is not what it does or solve. I have used jira in 8 companies, maintained an instance in 2 of them and I have never seen a fast one nor figured out to make them fast.

Any single click you do on it reminds you of the time when people were waiting literally minutes to be able to do anything when booting windows on a laptop with 5400rpm hard disk.

Whatever help it is for your company, it makes you pay for it with billions of swears.
This is the experience team-managed projects should have out of the box in Cloud if using kanban.

You create a kanban team-managed project and it'll pretty much be a Trello board. If you want sprints or a backlog or reports you can go into the project features page and flip a switch.
That sentence sounds good!

But why was it hidden all the way down in the footer? Why was the rest of the page vacuous marketing copy that made my brain turn off?

And why does any of that need cryptocurrency? Grants for open source work have been around before cryptocurrency even existed.
In the US, you probably need to issue a tax form; this can be handled through a third party but then is a bit of a pain for the candidate. (I've had it work this way as a consultant on the side.)

Depending on the potential employee's contracts and business rules, doing a side project for someone may or may not be 100% kosher.

Seems like regardless of the country, dentists can easily slip to the "bad side":

Ex. Recently France sentenced one dentist to 10yr for doing procedures that were not needed (same combo root canal + crowns):
https://www.lefigaro.fr/faits-divers/c-est-un-carnage-un-anc...

My pet peeve is about the number of x-ray my dentist performs. Every time, everything is fine. Feels like the sole reason, is that my insurance pays for me to be radiated once a year.

This is exactly what people thought of 5+ inch phone screens, and now nobody cares.

Because the people who get to decide whether or not to use JIRA aren't the people who it causes the most suffering for.
With one-time payments, you'd send them 5 euros for one month, or 60 for a year, etc.
Yeah, the last three steps are killing you. I'm not going to do a 4 hour skill assessment, period. No senior people will. We're not making a solid 6 figures because we're idiots faking our way through the world.

Skip that assessment and presentation, and implement a 90 day probationary period like everyone else.
All machines (~ 10 highly diverse) in my home lab mounts my $HOME over NFSv4 from a TrueNAS server. Works very well. I can saturate 10 GbE easily (and have 100 GbE point-to-point to the main compute server). SSHFS is just crazy slow in comparison, has tremendous CPU load, doesn't have reliable coherency semantics (well it can, but then it's even slower). However, creating an ad-hoc sshfs mount is trivial unlike with NFSv4. Also, SSHFS is of course encryped on the wire unlike NFSv4.

TL;DR: both have valid use cases, but for a home file server I'd definitely choose NFSv4 for Unix (*BSD, Linux, macOS) hosts (know nothing about Windows).
It's the "World" Series of Internet payments.
The author mentions traveling to multiple continents in his post. Do you expect him to use a train/ferry everywhere? That would be incredibly slow and unfeasible in some situations. OTOH, you can fly everywhere. Not everyone deeply cares about their carbon footprint when by far the largest amount of CO2 generated is industrial.

It's hard not to see it as researchers doing typical ivory tower gatekeeping. If it were only a few of them that neglected to provide simple tools and installation instructions for common people, I would chalk it up to laziness. But this is the standard way with TTS projects, every time it takes me ten minutes of head scratching until I get the thing to work. It's been this way for years.

To make it twice as frustrating, these new systems never seem to trickle down to FOSS software users; they get incorporated into commercial products but the average linux desktop user with vision problems is still left suffering with Festival. Any such user who wants to use these new models is left to figure out how to integrate these systems themselves.

Anyway, I do appreciate them publishing this. I got it working now and it will suit my needs well; it's the best CPU-based TTS that I've managed to get running thus-far, and I think the quality will be good enough for narrating ebooks. Good enough for now, I'll figure out how to get Firefox using this later.
You can tax air travel to encourage travel by other means where applicable, or alternatives for work trips, or local tourism, or slow tourism, all kinds of things. Air travel itself may be defining and I don't envision getting rid of it; but the weekend trip to Vegas or Mallorca or Delhi is a defining feature of the present that is not sustainable in the future.

Taxing dirty electricity generation is regressive taxation, too; like I said, it's an original issue. A first step would be to pay out all the generated carbon taxes on a per capita basis.
You're right, it's probably unreasonable to expect them to be able to grasp the day to day grind immediately, it's just that 2 months later he still wasn't able to work independently and we had to spend a lot more time with him than we expected. We assumed he had enough common sense to pick things up quicker.

But no doubt, he's probably smarter than I am and will go further in his IT career.

It may not be good enough, but I think we can acknowledge that caving to political pressure is a very different posture than building your entire business model around monetizing antiprivacy.
> If every US citizen had by birthright, a small parcel of land with no taxes owed, they would always have somewhere to go.

With no restrictions on use of the land, this is obviously unsustainable and impossible to make fair. Not all land is equal and if someone trashes their lot then it can't be used by the next generation.

> Even if they lived in a tent

This already exists -- it's called public lands.

You can already do this on BLM and some USFS land. 14 days in any 25 mile radius. If you have a car then it's hard to go unnoticed but moving around to stay in compliance is easy. If you only have a tent then you could go unnoticed basically forever if yo aren't stupid so the 14 day rule doesn't really matter.

Incidentally, most homeless folks have issues that make it impossible to live out of a tent on public lands. Deeding them a small plot that is technically theirs wouldn't really solve that issue.
I've found that if you can get conversational with the hygienists outside of the office they usually know who is who.

But that can be a chicken-and-egg problem if you don't know any hygienists.
I think there's very clearly a point beyond which any reasonable person agrees that what's done is done and it doesn't make sense to make apologies anymore. Like today in 2022 nobody but the most peculiar weirdo in Scotland holds a grudge against people with the surname "Campbell" because of the Glencoe Massacre[0] after more than 300 years (though they do exist!).

But for something like the Mau Mau massacre, for the Iraq War, for the Afghanistan War or for any number of atrocities in British India or anything like that - these were huge events whose effects can still be felt today. I don't think it is unreasonable to expect some sort of official apology from the state. Or failing that - simply allowing a level of acknowledgement in our History curriculum that says "The British Empire was not good, and was in fact quite often bad for a very long period of time" might help. Because right now doing so is walking on very thin ice[1] and there are a lot of people walking around in the UK who think our imperial project was one which colonised and civilised, rather than brutalised it.

No OP, but I mostly use it to play "hangout" games with friends who live in different countries, such as ping pong or minigolf. Much more fun to hang out and play a casual game and talk than sitting in a Zoom call with them. Sometimes I also play a quick round of Beat Saber or some other game.

How often? Couple of hours a month

Long term motivation? Do more social stuff with remote friends and, once it's more comfortable to wear for more than two hours straight, also work in VR.
"Why you should trust us" or not, I take issue with Wirecutter specifically with their air purifier reviews. They've continued to recommend Blueair and Coway despite being faced with complaints. I don't care why Wirecutter claims you should trust them but I do care when they just stick their head in the ground WRT feedback.
I have two Fornuftigs for bedroom and office, and a Winix Zero in the living room. The Winix definitely beats Ikea in terms of noise production on max airflow, it positively sounds like a jet is taking off. It moves quite a bit more air of course. I was rather surprised that the Fornuftig is nearly perfectly quiet at the lowest setting, which is really great for a bedroom and offce, although I don't know how much or little it stil does at that setting.
Yeah. AR/VR being future heavyweights seems obvious.

Currently though? They're all kinda shit. And there doesn't seem to be a clear incremental step from "current" to "good enough" for a GIGANTIC range of scenarios, so it seems reasonable to claim "it's not coming any time soon".

And I say all this as an enthusiast. When resolution and compute power increases a bit, I'll probably make a real effort to use VR (AR seems further away) to replace my desk/monitor(s)/etc for work. But without a ton of effort and severe tradeoffs, it's not really currently feasible.
(also - congrats on bootstrapping a sustainable SaaS!)
Yep, just like Google, Dropbox, Box, Microsoft and pretty much anyone else who wants to store photos in the US.
