I would say that a simple palliative would be (possibly dramatically) increasing the taxes on single family homes that are not owner occupied. We have enough homes to end the housing crisis, it's just too cheap for businesses to horde them and profit off of the misery they are (hopefully unintentionally) creating.

There are a lot of things that 1 person can do that are essentially harmless but when a hundred million people do at the same time can cause huge social and ecological damage.

> While the leap second might have been an acceptable solution in 1972, when it made both the scientific community and the telecom industry happy, these days UTC is equally bad for both digital applications and scientists, who often choose TAI or UT1 instead.
Sagan was a professional astronomer in Cornell's astronomy department, but his rationale for making the pale-blue-dot image was less as a scientific endeavor and more as a way to tell us more about ourselves.

Incidentally, there was a lot more to that imaging campaign -- Voyager captured a "Family Portrait" of our solar system as its last imaging hurrah: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Portrait_(Voyager)

Navy celestial navigation. Naval almanacs by necessity were based on rotation of earth, so that was the timescale that naval organizations broadcast across the earth to support their ships. Eventually that radio broadcast time morphed into UTC, and then was repurposed as general-purpose civil time.

Absolutely. Add in some greed, corruption and ignorance and you've got a recipe for where we are today. And yet people blame environmentalists?
Intel has literally sent out engineers to LTT and Gamers Nexus to make this exact point. That being said, the cards are already out on the market and people can still buy them, so it's not like tech reviewers can hold off based on promised future performance.

FWIW I've heard DXVK actually can run on Windows, but you can't use it in AppX containers. Perhaps Intel bundling it with Ark's drivers would be a better option moving forward?
It's been a decade since I used C#

Well the last time I regularly used C++ was Borland C++ 3.1 from 1992. I'm not sure you'd be interested in my opinions on the language from 30 years ago.
that's it gone in one sector of the market that never really had it in the first place
Your (and others) use of "mechanism" is telling; your mind is likely pointing to something visible, formal and therefore publicly addressable, and what I'm trying to get at is that the oppression we dealt with is none of those things. Majority type power can oppress without that.
UTC and TAI are already over 30 seconds apart. So not using a negative leap second to keep them aligned isn't really a valid argument. On a geological scale, Earth's rotation is slowing down, but on a decade scale, it's still pretty chaotic. We could just as easily be having the reverse conversation. When we need a negative leap second, we may need a few in a row. So just waiting for a positive one to cancel them out doesn't really work. Using the logic of it will all eventually be a wash and we shouldn't use them at all is kind of the argument the article is making.
> Often people simply choose bad abstractions or wrong ones

When writing software, ideally I'd like to make all the right choices and use simple implementations of abstractions that do not impose unwarranted limitations.

I think that it's sometimes worth it, early on, to do things the quick way despite bad abstractions. This can get you to a place where it's easier to reason about good abstractions.

Sadly, I've been on teams where a bad abstraction was adopted because it was just assumed that that would be quicker. Instead of doing it the quick way, we just did it the bad way.
I don't know how you can tell what is unused real estate vs vacant-but-owned real estate from the outside.

I also don't know how you can see into the 30-something-story windows of high-rise luxury condos to determine whether or not they are being used.
I'm using Orgzly. But to be honest my use case doesn't involve much use of org-mode on the phone. And I just a had more thorough look and it doesn't support a lot of important features, to the point I should probably retract that bulletpoint not be misleading:

- No codeblock support (execution not working is probably to be expected, but I would expect at least syntax highlighting, but it doesn't do that either)

- No image support (so no charts or diagrams)

- No support for tables
To the first question:

By "dependencies kill teams" I mean all the forms of dependencies: Database dependencies, web service dependencies, library dependencies, across teams, across organizations, and so on.

Arguably internal dependencies inside a program are the least lethal. You are largely doing others the favor of implicit documentation by using scope control, a guaranteed statement of "This is never used outside this file". They might be able to figure as much out by grepping, remove & recompile, or IDE-based tools. "Greppability" is often part of the solution when dealing with database & http dependencies.

As for the second question, basically, yes.

A more quantitative approach can be found in a pair of papers from John C Nesbit, who analyzed ten algorithms in 1985/86 (https://archive.org/details/sim_journal-of-computer-based-in... ; https://archive.org/details/sim_journal-of-computer-based-in...). Generalized edit distance performed best, but also took the most time. The PLATO algorithm, which used a feature vector-esque approach, came in third in quality and was also efficient. Phonetic approaches came in third. Since the charts are hard to read and summarize, I converted the result into F1 scores (https://ztoz.blog/posts/nesbit/).
It's such a shame that they killed (twice now?) all the comments in the blog.

This is not only correct, it's profoundly correct. The best way to resolve prioritization and scope conflicts is having an efficient process to objectively validate assumptions against ultimate ground truth - the customer's problem.

> The vast majority of people do not care about walkability.

Wow, such authority. Sources for this strong factual claim? More likely, the vast majority of people have never experienced living in a walkable neighborhood, and can't imagine the benefits it confers, and so do not (literally cannot) consider that option. This reinforces the point I made above -- people's desires are shaped by the level of exposure to various ideas and experiences.

> a small house in a walkable area

You mean all those that are already owned, and for which there is no more space available in cities? This is an imaginary alternative that has no basis in contemporary reality, unless you wish to build an entirely new metro area.

Not to belabor the point too much, but obviously this is the wrong direction re: walkability. The geometry of the situation simply doesn't make sense when you can only fit an average of 3-4 people on lots each of minimum 10k sq ft. Walkability and density are highly correlated.

> house + long commute to anything, I'd do the commute every single time

Everyone I know who grew up in these kinds of living situations (especially ones with such domineering parents who impose their own preferences for housing instead of considering the factors important for early-life development) have pretty severe social deficits now. Your kids would spend all their time in front of screens while at home because there's literally nothing else to do when your parents are busy.

If you don't have kids and you live in a single-family home, you're, objectively speaking, wasting space, unless you regularly open your home to others for events.
This would never happen in SF. The local store block would be instantly taken over by homeless druggies [1]. To have this sort of transformation, the local culture needs to have little tolerance for disruptive behaviors and peoples.

Ex: in Europe many public bathrooms require payment, in the US you can't even allow stores to require a purchase to use the restroom due to public pressure (not laws, yet).

> unless your children are eating the tire mulch.

Have you been to children playgrounds? This is exactly what they are going to do, at least once, at least try. On top of constantly touching it with they hands and then touch with everything else, falling on the ground, etc.
>Basically no lefties/urbanites would’ve made that argument before Tesla made EVs viable and attractive to normies.

May be you didn't pay attention? They were already protests in the 1970s to stop the non sense of building highways in the middle or urban centres. Jane Jacob was talking about it in the 1960s. It's not so much about environmentalists but urban designers have been talking of the negative impact of car culture on our society and way of life for decades.

Both things can be true. EVs are better than ICE cars. Not having your lifestyle and cities designed around cars for every single trip is better than EVs. And we can switch to EVs gradually while also making our dense communities more livable.

Not everything revolves around Elon Musk ideas, as much as he would like many to believe.
Wouldn't it be less of a disruption if we standardize how smearing is done?
Yeah - don’t buy truffle oil unless you can actually see truffle shavings in the oil itself. Truffles are so aromatic, that just a sliver can infuse a small bottle.

A 2022 Model 3 weighs about 3700 pounds. A 2022 ICE Ford Mustang (the coupe, not the SUV) weighs 3850 lbs.

A 2022 Model Y (SUV) weighs 4400 pounds. A 2022 ICE Ford Explorer weighs 6100 pounds.

Maybe this is because Ford sucks at making reasonable-weight vehicles, right?

Well, a 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E weighs 4700 pounds, which is a bit overweight vs. the Model Y, but still way lighter than their old flagship SUV.

I'm not sure how, but in the US, EVs are somehow lighter than comparable gas vehicles.
thanks!!

So many helpful responses here.

I wonder about the "Google extracts enormous rents" bit. Yes, in the aggregate, Google is earning lots of money from advertisers, but for the average advertiser, how big is this cost, and compared to what? (Genuine question - I don't know a lot about advertising.)

Also, given the anti-advertising mindset on Hacker News, it seems weird to get all that upset about advertisers paying too much? "Who will think of the advertisers," say people who have probably installed ad blockers.

There's no issues with Windows specifics in /ASP\.NET( Core)?/ version >= 5.0.

There's some issues if you need to use an older version of ASP.NET and whether or not it has "Core" in the name, but after .NET 5 and ASP.NET 6 there's no longer that fork to confuse things and it's back to much simpler version numbers/checks and no longer needing to worry about the word "Core".
> Because having 100% of someone's work accepted as useful when it's not - for whatever reason - is a basic human right that everyone deserves.

Again this wasn't what I was saying. My argument is that engineering time (and time in general) is valuable, and we should be careful how we spend it. In other words: if, over the course of a project, you're wasting a lot of time, that's bad if you care about the project (and you probably should). Maybe you disagree, but I don't think this falls under the "entitled millennial SWE" category, but rather the "we can do better" category.

I'll also, for the sake of discussion here, say I've done some pretty shitty work and have benefited tremendously from code review and general discussions with my colleagues. I'm definitely not someone who thinks they're a "extremely high-percentile" person, probably above average, but definitely not like a Brad Fitzgerald or something.

Yeah perhaps in the US this might not work. I was thinking more of europe where even ammunition isn't readily available to buy already (and people don't have stockpiles except highly regulated sportshooters).

But I thought the part where the firing pin hits the cartridge gets damaged and the primer there isn't easily replaced. I'm probably wrong, I never even held a real gun.

When I saw that scene in the theater the first time, it left me shaking in my seat. It's still powerful today.

Watching Val Kilmer's facial expression change at that start. "At the drop of a hat, these guys will rock 'n roll."

I'm one in, I imagine, a very small group. But I find Mann's "Miami Vice" to be one of my favorite films of his. It's the most dangerous movie I've ever seen, it (almost) never lets up. Even the sex was dangerous. Heck, the ROSES were dangerous.

The minor nemesis Neptune is one of the scariest characters I've seen, and we only see a glimpse of him. And John Ortiz' Jose Yero. Sheesh. "I'm a disco guy."

The Heat gunfight scene is intense, the audio is amazing. A late friend of mine was in downtown LA during one of the shooting days, and relayed what it was like.

But MV is intense throughout the whole movie. Just never lets up.

There's no reason that DoH couldn't be a shared OS service.
> there is no relevant difference between a member of my team utilizing that class (from within the same module) and other people using it (as a library I have published).

The difference between a team member and a library user is that the team member works in the same project while library users have their own projects. So if you change something inside the class, you can change all the uses of that class in your project but you can't change other people's projects. That's why I added the clarification, because there is a very obvious reason to be strict about the API of a library that other people use: you can't change those uses.
Montreal is the most affordable city in canada that doesn't suck. It's a bit hard to believe how cheap it still is (relatively!), yet imo it's a much better place to live in than Toronto/Ottawa/Edmonton.

How do companies like Superhuman get all your social info?

Congrats on launching to HackerNews! First step on a journey of many.

Some Feedback:

- The biggest words on the landing page are "Behavioural Email Tool" but I don't know what this means. Maybe I'm not in your market.

- As I read through what Plunk does, it sounds more like "email automation". However, Plunk is not like other email automation because... (insert your wildest dreams)

- Your pricing is too low. In the wise words of patio11, "Charge more!" For a detailed guide to pricing SaaS and how to think about your pricing, check out patio11's writing on the Stripe blog[1]

- There's a typo in your free plan: it should be "1 seat", not "1 seats".

- Don't offer "Amazing Support" on your free plan. Reason (1) is that users on the free plan tend to squeeze the most support out of you, and they're not even paying you. You can reach out to help them if you want, but don't promise support to free users. Reason (2) is that adding support is a good incentive for a serious business to upgrade to the pro plan. If I'm a business who's success/revenue relies on Plunk for my success, I surely would upgrade from a plan without support to one with support.

This editor is really impressive. I work at Google on Grasshopper's block-based mobile coding editor, and we've been exploring ways to help users transition from block-based coding to "real" coding. This looks like it does a great job finding a middle ground.

Things like missing parentheses and apostrophes can be really off-putting/confusing to new programmers, and this avoids that while still letting the user type something that's effectively real code.
There's no data to back up the claim that "foreign investors" are contributing to Canada's issues in any significant way. It certainly does not explain exploding house prices in small towns 2 and 3 hours outside of major cities, where vacancies are hitting record lows.

> As already mentioned, the smearing is a very sensitive moment. If the NTP server is restarted during this period, we will likely end up with either “old” or “new” time, which may propagate to the clients and lead to an outage.

That seems to be a solvable engineering problem. One could make sure the server is up to date on all recent information before taking it back into service. It's a similar problem as making sure that cache servers that have invalidated data don't go back into service before their cache is updated - which is tablestakes for services like CDNs.

I guess the problem here are public servers that can't run software that understands doing that? I see the challenge for those, but maybe something like an improved version of NTP could fix it?
