The issue is your defining the community arbitrarily to be people in some city limit. Others including myself are defining community to be the homeless, workers who would like to be residents, but live outside the city limit, and employers who probably want more workers in commuting distance.

Unfortunately, there is only one San Francisco peninsula with cold air from the Pacific and warm air from the desert. I think the California legislature should over rule the city to deal with the homeless crisis and cost of living crisis. The Nimbys in San Francisco, like other cities, have no skin in the game to fix that problem as they benefit enormously from the crisis they make much worse.
We have the good fortune that you have no say in future plans.
The fascination around North Korea and its leaders is understandable. I grew up in South Korea in the 80's and we just lived with "it" constantly (as people still do).

I remember when I was in primary school, you will find these propaganda papers on the streets telling South Koreans of how corrupt their government was and urging them to defect to North. Apparently, North Korea would send balloons filled with these propaganda messages. South would do the same to North.

Then there was a TV show once a year where separated families in North & South re-unite for a holiday. They were separated during the Korean War and the two governments allowed these families to be found and meet for a few days, before they were separated again. They hadn't seen each other for ~30 years so were young and only remembered just a few bits of information. These TV shows made EVERYONE cry.
Sorry, but OmniSharp sucks, and this is not a controversial opinion even among Microsoft employees. I am all for the .NET experience in VS Code improving greatly from where it is with OmniSharp. This will actually help increase adoption of .NET, which, I remind you, is open source.
Ask HN: Books/Articles around mind,Consciousness,perception and interrelation
As some one who is intellectually curious and has a longing to understand what how of the mind and its existence, can somebody point me to interesting materials on the net, I think i am just looking for a article or some thing which will produce a kind of eureka moment for me.

If you have come across any article/book/channel which has produced that moment of clarity.

Thanks
Wasn't there something around it where it didn't make it to market after, or got bought and suppressed? I worked for someone who worked on it, and I remember his view was it got sabotaged somehow.

1993 was peak ECHELON conspiracy theory and really, that was an era of fax machines and mostly rare 300-1200baud modems. Commercially available hardware included the Cray EL90, and the Sun SPARC lines. Knowing what we do now, as a capability, even just trolling through basic fax OCR, aided by some traffic analysis, and a reduced list of potential targets (early social graph analysis), it seems plausible that a probabilistic and unreliable fishing expedition version of this existed - and then after some "limited hangout" leaks, there was also plausibly something on the traffic analysis side that detected anyone exercising any opsec capabilities at all in response to it, and then they focus workflows on those people.

It's as simple as getting phone records into a Sun workstation, sending an asset into the area to a pub to spread the rumor calls are being monitored, looking for a change in behavior in the data, then focusing on whoevers records change after your asset is sent in. Not saying this happened, but if you're in the threat hunting business, it seems like a pretty obvious low cost win within the capabilities of the tech at the time.
this is untrue, the Korean peninsula had a strong socialist (including non-Marxist forms of socialism) and later communist (as in affiliated with the COMINTERN) movement from the early 20th century and its main influence was the Japanese Communist Party - not Mao. (Incidentally, a large part of the membership of the Japanese Communist Party was Korean - up until the cadres.)

North Korean troops (and earlier the so-called "Yanan Koreans") were also instrumental in securing the Chinese communist victory during the Civil War through their actions in Northeast China. So in a sense they forced communism on China just as much as the Chinese forced communism onto Korea.

> It was Mao foisting it onto Korea. Stalin was a careful opportunist and thought Korea would be too risky and reckless, so he was hesitant but was eventually persuaded by Mao that it was a good idea.

Your statement refers to the Korean War. As archive records now show, both Stalin and Mao were reluctant and Kim Il Sung only managed to convince Stalin by pretending that Mao was on board for an invasion of the South (and likewise lying to Mao about Stalin being on board).

In any case, North Korea was already socialist before the Korean War. And the South also had a very strong communist movement - the first governments that sprouted in Korea after 1945 were "people's committees".

But the US backed dictator Syngman Rhee (selected for his staunch anti-communism, the man was so reactionary his conservatism shocked even US intelligence) managed to politicide the Southern communists in large numbers:

To be fair. Creating a good cross UI framework is hard. Winforms wouldn’t cross over to OS X / linux. WPF was too heavily tied to Windows. Silver light was a compeditor to flash and both of those died. Now we are up to Maui and Avalion? Blazor is more silverlight replacement imo.
At least in my city, the child railway used to be an isolated bit of decommissioned railway. A kilometer or two of a single track to do back-and-forth runs.

While it still had to be great experience (it was closed many years before I was born), it was not that complicated :)
You're wrong. Everywhere I've worked the general pattern is to build using Windows/Linux and deploy entirely on Linux (or Docker).

> How? Aren't people forced to pay restitution? Isn't there insurance?

My views of this topic are shallow. I've seen the Philosophy Tube video I linked to, and read a few related essays.

If you really want the "how", I'm the wrong person to ask for details. The video references Malm's "How to Blow Up a Pipeline: Learning to Fight in a World on Fire" - perhaps look there instead.

My shallow views on this specific example of keying SUVs are: 1) not everyone will be caught, 2) what happens if the activist doesn't have the money to pay full restitution?, 3) insurance goes up if this becomes a wide-spread practice, 4) the SUV will be in the shop to get fixed, adding some nuisance overhead, and 5) the the bubble the SUV owners live in will get smaller.

A DDG search for anti-fur protests, which included throwing red paint onto fur clothing, gluing locks shut, and more, found https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1989/03/11/a... with a related argument: "giving selfish people a selfish reason to stop wearing fur coats, even if they don't give a damn about the animal".

So, this might all be summarized as "giving selfish people a selfish reason to stop driving SUVs, even if they don't give a damn about CO2 emissions."

> So it sounds like they won't be deterred if the argument is that they want what they want.

What they want is a nice car. There are other nice cars besides Land Rover SUVs. Including ones with lower CO2 emissions.
Why would you ever waste time using VSCode for C# when VS and JetBrains Rider exist?
Right and when we aren’t, we are exposing the window because it’s open to ventilate for fresh air. However, I just considered many people are in high rises where privacy isn’t as serious of a concern and so you might have less window treatments in that case.
I was more thinking of things like surface area. At a certain point, once the sweat starts pooling, the sweat to evaporation ratio goes down (since it can only evaporate at the surface, which is further away from the skin, so now sweat is also insulating).

And the point of evaporative cooling isn't that sweat is taking heat away from the body through contact heat transfer. Evaporation actually uses heat for the phase change, which means that a single drop of sweat will pull heat out of your body through standard heat transfer. And if it drips. then it has just pulled that heat away. If it evaporates, it will actively pull even more heat away. Which is why wet-bulb temps can be below ambient. If the sweat drips, you don't get the evaporation benefits. So if you sweat to the point that you are dripping, I would have to believe that you wouldn't hit the ideal wet-bulb temps, and would thus be hotter.
Fair enough. Would you consider officially endorsing any such projects (e.g. with links on your website), for mutual benefit?
There is nothing in ASP NET that is more “windows specific”. Since its inception, I have used these scenarios and they all worked without flaws:

Windows -> Linux

WSL -> Linux

WSL2 -> Linux (Its real Linux)

macOS -> Linux

All of the scenarios were deployed to AWS.
Well…the answer is that the response you get will depend. If you are familiar with the standard and how it is implemented in compilers, you will get a sense for which UBs are implicitly blessed by compilers and you can file bugs against. "I double freed a pointer and expected something reasonable to happen" is never going to get you a serious response. But if you ask something like "I tagged this pointer's bit pattern and untagged it and the pointer I got back isn't valid" you will generally be heard out. FWIW I would recommend picking a different language to write your language runtime in 2022, using it to support your new language is often a good way to invite memory unsafety bugs in your code.

Experiment is the arbiter of truth -- being able to verify that aging fissile materials continue to function as-expected is very important.

It really matters that nuclear weapons go bang when you want, but not when you don't.

An example of why one needs to care about such things in stockpile stewardship -- plutonium's own radioactivity means that helium is effectively being born within the crystal lattice, causing damage, distortion, and swelling. It isn't a guarantee that a bomb that worked 50 years ago will work today.

Any .NET NuGet packages targeting .NET Core/.NET 5+ without the -windows TFM will run on any platform that CoreCLR runs on. ASP.NET 6 is no exception. There is nothing Windows-specific in there any longer, and there hasn't been for quite some time. ASP.NET now runs by default on Kestrel, Microsoft's cross-platform web server.
T-Mobile gave me free Paramount+. I was looking forward to it, since much of the content disappeared from Prime, some mid-series.

Paramount+ won't play on any device. It says I have to disable my ad blocker. They have code to break playback with an ad blocker, but it's broken, and disables playback even without and ad blocker. Paramount+ support says I should disable antivirus software, firewalls, and essentially, leave myself open to attacks.

Netflix selection has been getting worse too, with a proliferation of streaming services.

For the most part, I'm on Youtube. Youtube works. I can also use tools like yt-dlp to download Youtube content for plane flights, which is the major place I'd like to watch content. Most streaming services don't support use without internet access.

Oh -- and if I buy something, I'm liable to lose it. Google almost killed my whole library of purchases with the whole GSuite free thing, before backpedaling at the very last minute. For a few months, I had unnecessary stress and headache.

Piracy has all the content I want, works off-line, on any device, and in any player. Pirated content doesn't expire or break. If I weren't a high-profile figure liable to look bad in media, I'd go with piracy. It seems like the better option. It's certainly what I advocate to friends and family.
UIUC campus has a building that looks like a collapsible drinking cup. Each floor is a ring. Each ring is about 2 offices wider than the previous ring. The center of the building is an atrium, and the void space is approximately an inverted ziggurat.

All the inside offices have sky lights, the outside offices have windows facing out and down (due to the offices above. I’m told there are no offices without daylight in the building, but I’ve been to the basement and they must mean the above ground floors.

I’m not sure how high you can build that or how difficult it is to heat, and it has lots of light but attenuated through windows which you were against.

But I wonder if we could build a modern day Hanging Garden, where each floor has a balcony, and a series of skylights allow some light through into an atrium, or series of atriums, so those who choose to stay inside still get indirect light, and some tropical plants.
> For me personally, not working without JS is not that big of an issue. I always use JS, I know the downsides, but its almost a modern necessity.

It may be an issue for some of your users, even if not you personally.

Yes, although someone else can copy it there, anyways.
I wouldn't call it on par. But it has been getting better. Developing on Linux still isn't great (I vastly prefer Visual Studio over VSCode for .NET), but might be good with the Rider IDE, which I haven't used. Running it has come a long way, but there are still some annoyances left. I'd still say that it is good, though

Replacing the "due card" count with a graph that visually shows the memory decay is brilliant. What I imagine being especially nice about this UI too is that it would do a much better job of adjusting to how much of your content is new vs. mature -- that is, your graph decays quite quickly if you are learning a bunch of new stuff recently, but decays more slowly if you haven't added anything new in a few weeks and just took a few days off. In Anki, both of these cases appear the same since you're just looking at a raw due count.

Some of the "Explore" examples look to be broken for me, even if I try to go to CodePen directly. For example, the card "a binary operator requires.." does not seem to have anything in the CodePen.

My own workflow is too locked into the Anki app itself but this is a great project, well done!

“Stigler himself named the sociologist Robert K. Merton as the discoverer of "Stigler's law" to show that it follows its own decree, though the phenomenon had previously been noted by others”

Seems like Stigler’s law follows its own rule
One thing: most LEDs suck at mimicking daylight. The cheap ones are bad at delivering the full light spectrum.

The higher end of LED is slowly getting there. The measurement one should be looking for there is CRI ("Color Rendering Index"). The sun has a CRI of 100. Any lightsource above 90 to 95 CRI is (to my experience) indistinguishable from daylight. The best stuff there currently is are (of course) the Skypanels by ARRI for laughable 6800 USD per panel (film equipment is expensive as usual).

Blasting a 2.5 kW HMI lamp ("Hydrargyrum medium-arc iodide lamp") trough a window from the outside is a good emulation of daylight. So good in fact that the poor souls shooting films inside will have their bodies in confusion as they exit the room and realize in horror that it is dark outside.

The electrical bill of anything emulating the sun is no joke tho.
You can but it’s easy to get your environment messed up with python.

Personally I’m a fan of buying a fancier Mac and running a VM that resembles production somewhat. I was using VMWare Fusion and now UTM. Works great for me by minimizing Homebrew drama.
This system is currently only cost-effective with water, and only where you have a natural place to put it (i.e. a crater on top of a mountain vs. building a tank on a tower). Constructing a greenfield mechanical apparatus is too expensive for the energy stored.
These kiosks arrived about 10 years too late anyway. All they need to do is make their phone app a bit more usable and no one would need the kiosks.

Regarding paper, 99 times out of 100, there’s no paper in the printer. People are used to having to remember their order number.

Many communities have moved to discord. Where once there might have been a web site on geocities and an irc channel or mail list, now there is just a discord server.

geocities and all those little sites are gone, and what replaced them are a sequence of less-googlable less-preservable things like myspace pages, facebook pages and groups, blogspot/blogger pages, and now discord servers and youtube channels.

There isn't a good platform for individuals and small communities that aren't profitable businesses to host their resources and documents and communications. There are only companies trying to capitalize on people's desire for it, providing something that only purports to provide that platform but really doesn't.

In some ways, there is nothing stopping people from making niche topic sites, but something seems to have changed that makes it just less likely. Maybe there used to be free tiers (was tripod and geocities free?) and now there is only cheap ($5 for a vps), or maybe it's that now you have to do more work yourself setting up a vps vs a premade site host, and the current equivalents of free and fully managed are discord & facebook?

Something is definitely different and somehow the aggregate result is a lot less of the old plethora of niche topic sites. Maybe just that everyone got jobs and has no time to make those sites any more, and now all we have are developers personal blog sites which are really just promo for themselves not really of any value to you or me.

Maybe also the passing of the innocent initial window of time where an individual or small group could run a phpBB on the public net without it getting hacked or overrun by spam or sued or in legal trouble for the member-written content etc, without an income stream to pay moderators and lawyers.

Probably it's a combination of those and even more other factors I'm not thinking of.
