Bind's config files are awful. I think it is like Sendmail where the only reason it is still awful is that there is too much infrastructure built around them to make them better. They could improve the configs, but it might break many thousands of scripts around the world.

Back in the 80s there were not many examples of configuration files, so everybody just invented their own idiosyncratic format. Most of those old formats have long since died off, but a few have survived to haunt us even today.
To me, using women to sell a product reeks of a bygone era and a certain mentality we’re working to get away from. I think that alone is a perfectly acceptable reason to think a company sucks and not use their product. Voting for behaviors with your dollars is important.

This is what I remember when I lived in Utrecht a decade ago. It would only work for a subset of people. People who would get on the list for public housing once they moved there for college. And in some cases delay getting married so that their combined income wouldn't go over the threshold...
The Botez Gambit
Sorry, I knew I should've headed off a tangential response about the people who don't read news. Most of them shouldn't start doing that. My comment was in response to you saying that you read 1-2 articles from a wide variety of sources and seemingly not understanding the value of concentrating that same volume of reading into fewer sources. As for newspapers in particular, the mid market is giving way to fewer paywalled papers of record, and a wider variety of periodicals.
Saddest thing about Crypto even more than the energy cost is the human minds it consumed. I heard people saying that Crypto is what bright graduate students want to focus on and that just too bad.

If you want to finance the un-financed or create decentralized finance go into fintech, crypto is just a bad implementation of fintech...
If you want to change the world go into Biotech or Energy tech.. the next thing to change humanity is probably a better battery not a better foreign exchange market...

And if you just want to get rich by taking money from fools I would recommend setting up an online casino, there are companies that sell white labeled platforms for online casinos and those extract money from poor people with 10th of the cost to the rest of humanity and takes way less effort to set up!

Meta's Make-a-Scene with AI = DALL-E with creative control via simple sketch
I agree 100% - on top of all that, the current housing strategy reduces the mobility of the workforce, so it becomes more difficult to move skilled workers from one region to another. On top of that, being generally considered as a persons most valuable asset, almost no-one wants "affordable housing" in there area, as it would bring down the value of their most valuable asset. We need to start considering people as the valuable asset, and not the house they live in.
Is there anything similar for Latin characters?

The only circumstance I can imagine is where a Latin character has been erroneously encoded with an unused diacritic, for instance a T with a diaeresis.

I think 'character bloat' is simply inherent to the writing system when characters are written by hand (now that perhaps most written communication is digital people can't use characters that are not already supported)

Anyone can invent characters whenever they want, and it's only a question of them sticking or not.

I think this is also one of the reasons for the Chinese tendency to push for unification and uniformity.

> we’re all cynical bastards these days so when we see someone do something genuinely altruistic we simply cannot process it as such and immediately seek a way to dismiss it as self-serving

The question to ask is where this cynicism came from.

I would argue that it is the performative variety of virtue that has made us mistrust such acts.

We wouldn’t have a reason to doubt one’s intentions if those intentions are indistinguishable on the surface from a popular meme, which is what many of these recorded acts of kindness seem to be.

Only the person carrying out the act knows the truth of what is in their heart, but I would argue that the very act of recording, bolstered by the act of publishing that recording reveals there are other motives involved.

After all, why does one post such a video? To participate in the incentive structure afforded by the social media platform of choice.

Those incentive structures are inherently about self promotion, which feels incompatible with virtue.

Now you could argue that I’m just being cynical about why people post on social media. Maybe that person has a genuine desire to brighten someone else’s day through their own act of kindness. Maybe the guy with the flowers was similarly genuine.

I think the video that is the focal point of this thread provides a good counterpoint to this. It made me uncomfortable when I first saw it (before this article emerged), and now I have a confirmation as to why. Even if the guy had every right intention, the incentive structure of social media overrode his better judgement and blinded him to the impact he was actually having.

I don’t think it is impossible to highlight one’s good work in an appropriate way, and I do think there’s an opportunity to inspire people to do good things, but I’m not convinced that this trend of social media posts has anything to do with that.

This doesn't solve the bias problem, it just helps align the bias between producer and consumer. That is only an improvement if the resulting bias is an improvement, which is not obvious. In fact as bias become more aligned it becomes less visible, so less fixable.

There was just a pretty huge rezoning (with much NIMBY protest) of the Gowanus neighborhood of Brooklyn, close to Manhattan, which is currently mostly composed of empty lots and single-story warehouses/light manufacturing around the corner from desirable neighborhoods of $4m brownstones. Now developers will be allowed to build residential buildings up to 30 stories there. I live nearby and walking around in just the last few months the number of new projects starting has been kind of extraordinary. https://www.curbed.com/2021/11/brooklyn-gowanus-rezoning-dev...

On a long enough timeline, maybe. But societies can't wait the 5-10-20-30 years it might take the market to correct itself. That's one dimensional thinking. Political and social destabilization brought on by market inefficiencies can create dangerous situations that are deep and long-lasting.

It isn't so that the Web wouldn't have gone from boom to bust rather immediately (it really began to surface and become known to a broader public in around 1996 and about 4 years later, there was already the burst of the dot-com bubble), but it was immediately apparent that the Web still had use and that there were plenty of undeveloped use-cases. Not sure, if this applies to the crypto market, as well.
Unreal gets a 5% royalty on every game. Unity is a subscription model, they don't get more money out of wildly successful games like Hearthstone or Pokemon Go. Their solution to this is adding more over-the-top services like analytics and advertising.

I am very agree with some options of this blog. As the maintainer of the open source distributed database TiDB https://github.com/pingcap/tidb, we also face the same problem of choice. We have a community version, an enterprise version(of course, we must sell it to our customers to earn money) and also a cloud service named TiDB cloud.

Seven years before, we started to build TiDB to solve MySQL sharding problem, yes, "I Don’t Want to Shard (MySQL)" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32041656 too. At that time, we only had a community version of TiDB.

After we had developed TiDB for more that one year, we needed to consider earning money because we (PingCAP) are a company. So we built an enterprise version to sell to our customers. Unlike other companies do mostly, they separate the community and enterprise version a lot, there are even some killing features that only exist in the enterprise version. But we believe that all our customers, whether they pay for us or not, must get the benefits, nearly the same value from TiDB. So we decide to keep the same between the community and enterprise. The only difference for the enterprise version is that the version contains another two tiny features - audit log and IP white list. As far as I know, no community user asks us for these two feature util now.

Things were going well, and a few years later, we met the same dilemma for TiDB community version and TiDB cloud service https://tidb.cloud. Of course, at this time, we still insist on that the TiDB must be open source, any improvement for the cloud will be contributed to the community version at first, then we deploy to our own service later. This mean anyone can deploy TiDB easily on the cloud too.

This is our open source decision. Thanks to this decision, our products are now increasingly well known, you can check the insights from https://ossinsight.io/analyze/pingcap/tidb/.

Quitting your 9-5 is a bad idea
Yes? People who live in the city have families, friends, jobs, and other community structures that they contribute toward. It's where they LIVE.

People who "come to the city for a couple of weeks" are at best visiting for work or family -- in which case, they can get work to subsidize the housing, or stay with the family they're visiting -- and are at worst tourists who are only visiting the city to have fun.

People's lives should be prioritized over fun affordability. Or work saving a buck when employees visit HQ in person. Or even the affordability of someone choosing to visit family.

The people who live in the city are the people who work there, bleed there, eat there, love there, etc. etc. etc. They are the city. The people who visit are just passing through. Livers should not subsidize visitors.
Apple and MLB Announce August “Friday Night Baseball” Doubleheader Schedule

Because the private market can't do it. When most cities in the US have 80%+ of its land zoned for single-family units, developers can not build anything other than expensive McMansions.
People get pushed to the brink in desperation after years of posting but not being noticed... It's tragic, but to be honest, a lot of the people that end up dying in an accident for doing dumb things would possibly be even more destructive if they succeeded each time.

Not everyone is cut out to be an entertainer, influencer, or celebrity. The problem in our current world is that social platforms are encouraging everyone to quit their job to be those types of entertainers (while not paying the very same people), and it's not a realistic model for success, and quite possibly very harmful to the world's future and to mental health.

It has happened in the past, Evel Knievel was one of the most popular incidents of someone sacrificing themselves to entertain others well prior to the "like and follow" era.
That would explain it, indeed...

But that's a pretty dark pattern, isn't it?

Do you happen to have some confirmation that they do it in that intent?

I’ve owned several 1910s/1920s era single family homes. So not quite as old, as what you’re describing, but close.

As long as you stay on top of it, the maintenance is totally reasonable. Putting a new roof on is identical to any other house. Ditto siding, ditto paint (minus having to worry about lead).

I recently replaced >20 original windows on one of them. They were just held in with trim. Honestly it was easier than taking out an 80s era aluminum window.

In many ways they’re better than modern construction. The lumber they used is miles ahead of anything on the market today. Lots of old growth redwood and cedar that give you some natural rot protection.

I know little about the maintenance challenges of Wright buildings, but generally speaking old wood houses are not crazy expensive to maintain. But my house is a pretty standard shape, and it doesn’t have a waterfall running underneath it.

Given the spotlight DALL-E has received makes sense to capitalise
>When supply is less than demand, prices go up

Question though... why, exactly does that have to be the case? Especially with something like housing where say there is mostly a fixed supply at any point and you can't just turn a machine on/off to produce more.

The only reason the prices go up is because of greed basically- because people say "hey I can just charge more and people will pay more!". And there in lies the bullshit of the free market once again. It always benefits the people with money, who can afford to pay that amount more "just to get what they want".

The last few years in particular have made me so tired of hearing about people talk about supply & demand like it is some unarguable hard scientific fact. It's not even close to that. It just represents how much people like to price gouge because "they can"

>Those price increases incentivize builders to increase the housing stock (which subsequently lowers prices). Capping prices prevents the price mechanism from working, leaving a shortage of housing.

And the following part of this is also just more bullshit. I'm not saying you are "wrong", but you say it as if that is how things have to work and there is no other alternative.

Every word of what you said is based on greed and squeezing the most you possibly can from people. Please realize that.

Much of which was growth in name only and will prove to be investments in unproductive assets that never would have made it out of the brainstorming session if there was an actual opportunity cost of capital.

A small company I worked for years ago had a similar problem on one of the gig work sites. Someone listed a dozen or so web sites they had designed, programmed, and provided to clients complete with links. The problem was eight to ten of them were from our portfolio. We got their portfolio updated to not include our work and an assurance the account would be closed if the perpetrator did the same heinous thing again.

So, yes, your accomplishments in multiple different forms can be claimed by someone else. It can pay to be aware of this, but there's a cost to staying on top of it. Make sure to balance the two.

Housing =/= Land. But our policies which heavily kneecap our ability to build more [0] make it such that Housing starts behaving like Land.

The solution is to build more, and the success of Vienna does not come from public intervention but from the added supply. Tokyo is another city with famously cheap housing, and the secret is that they make it easy to build.

I personally think that achieving affordable housing prices via mainly government intervention is not a sustainable approach. You end up consuming both economic and political capital.

A more sustainable approach sets clear, transparent rules that specify under what conditions do you get to build by right. Then 90% gets satisfied by the market, the remaining 10% can be addressed by government investments, if needed.

The only sustainable way to get affordable housing is when the market price is affordable.

Land, on the other hand, is another story. There is strong economic evidence that many of the observations of Henry George [1] are spot on: Land rents tend to take a massive toll in the economy, cause inequality and misery, all without requiring their owners to provide any added value. The proposed solution, again with solid economic fundamentals, is to tax the unimproved value of land at 100%. Henry George further argues that the proceeds should be equally divided among citizens, a citizen dividend if you will.

[0] e.g. it takes 4 years on average to get a new building permit in SF, 90% of the city is zoned for single family housing, any neighbor etc.

Isn't the trivia that he only sold one painting during his life (where I assume the definition of "sell" includes paid commissions), and it was to his brother? Are you saying that is true, but he was popular as an artist (just not successful financially as an artist)? Or is that bit of trivia also untrue?

Edit: It occurs to me that also implicit in this popular definition of "successful artist" is that the majority of other well known artists were financially successful via their art, but I don't know if that's even true!

Edit: The parent was edited after I made this comment to be more explicit about financial success vs reputational success.
This is great! Thanks for this. Exactly what I was looking for
Non transable is not a term that anyone uses and therefore is not one that has a definition outside of this thread. Which is why GP asked what it is, smart ass.
If you didn't get the upsell, maybe you "passed" for whatever their heuristics are :^D
I think a lot of office workers would love that idea, except they were told in the past ~3 months its back to the NYC office or they're fired.

The limited supply (3 years worth of eviction backlog) + office mandates hitting this spring are exactly why prices went crazy seemingly overnight after a pretty calm 2021
People often want/need to live near their friends and family, which makes them irrational from the market's point of view. Treating location as fungible gives them cheaper housing, but isolation.
In case someone reads this comment as sarcasm: I got into a convo with Stroustrup about this once, back in the 90s. I said one thing I missed was the lack of macros, and he made a glancing comment about the preprocessor which I obviously dismissed and said didn’t even count. He bitterly said, “Yeah, unfortunately when something like that pollutes an ecological niche it becomes impossible to eradicate. The best I could get away with was templates.”

A good perspective.
