Well, yeah, it was more of those “why I ought to…” thoughts when I was frustrated by the mosquitos. I would have asked my neighbors if it got bad enough that I really wanted to go through with it, because that’s just basic courtesy. But also if we’re really going to put up our “property rights” battle lines, I kinda think the tiny insects routinely bringing strangers’ blood into my home from my neighbor’s property and attempting to stick their used needles into my skin would justify a judicious response.

From the article:

“Vienna’s city government owns and manages 220,000 housing units, which represent about 25 percent of the city’s housing stock.1 These city-owned housing units, called social housing, are meant primarily for lower-income residents. The city also indirectly controls 200,000 units that are built and owned by limited-profit private developers but developed through a city-regulated process.”

So according to this data the government controls about 50% of the housing in the city. Seems pretty good to me! As someone else said the article and data are a bit old, but it sounds like they’ve been keeping up with demand if they had 50% when this article was written. (They’ve been doing this for 100 years)
You are being overly defensive here. What I wrote had nothing to do with GNU in particular, as I hope I made clear in the very next sentence after the one you cited by stating that the same is true for BSD make implementations and portability. The parent asked about GNU make, thus I logically kept on talking about GNU make.
This brings back so much memories, when you pretend to hack to the mainframe...
I used to struggle with this, but now if two options both seem about equally good I will just pick randomly.
You’re very right on the bar. They have to be so clearly better (in reality as well as resume) that they can move skeptics from the bias of “I could do the job better” to “I can learn from them.”

Case-insensitive depends on the use-case I guess, but accent-insensitive really makes sense for (probably) most applications, considering that's also how dictionaries are sorted in german.
Generally good article that delves into how a market maker functions. Couple points:

Re EA: quoting my boss, EA isn't really a dominant thing in the market maker space, it's pretty much only espoused by a couple high profile individuals (mainly, SBF).

Re strategy: point about how there's little strategy involved in being a market maker is off-base. Everything is ultimately strategy: do I continue to pour resources into a strategy that is losing money in the hopes of eventually seeing pnl? What markets should I focus on? What is the best use of time for each employee that maximizes pnl/head? etc etc

One thing that I thought article got right is that most work involved in market making is about avoiding trades, not making them. Capturing the bid ask spread is conceptually easy. The hard part is avoiding trading with toxic counterparties.

Part about put options is especially apt. Market making during a crash / recession (like right now) is especially difficult because all the non-toxic counterparties have stopped trading as much (people like to trade a lot more during a bull market than a bear one). By setting up a structure such that you profit during a crash (either by buying puts, leaning net short, or through some other method), you introduce an uncorrelated return stream that can really help.
You mean uni, roight mate?
Definitely trying out different alternative designs is a good idea. But it has its cost as well. But you are right it is usually better to try out something than just ponder all the possibilities.
I didn't see the need to frame everything in the article as being so bad. I thought all those examples were awesome. I'll probably never do anything like them so as not to confuse people but I still think they were all interesting uses of the feature.

Honestly, I think people are too hard on languages (and especially Python) for having new features that challenge the status quo. And then there's also too much drama when it turns out that a scripting language is, in fact, a scripting language! So you can do weird things with stateful ABCs and such. I mean yeah, it's strange. But it probably also has some perfect use case in a very specific circumstance. At the end of the day, if you understand how a feature really works, you can do creative things with it. I'm glad we have it!

Can you elaborate on how Nomad handles state differently than K8S and what makes it better?
I have the wired Di2 2x11 GRX Gravel Groupset... and it is awesome. It _snaps_ into the next gear, every single time, reliably. If you want to jump someone, having a .5s faster shift time allows you to create a gap and hold it.

My girlfriend has the top of the like mechanical GRX equivalent, and while it's also a faster shifter, the Di2 is just a bit faster. Both are equally reliable, but hers will ultimately require more maintenance (cable tension, replacement parts) and is more sensitive to a bent hanger.

The Di2 nterface is dead simple: A single cable CAN bus for data. This also carries power for all the attached parts to the bus. The other benefit I love is sequential shifting. The onboard computer moves the front ring for me automatically and downshifts the back when I hit the threshold point. This ensures optimal power transfer by avoiding oblique angles with the chainline.

All in all, it was a great investment and I very much like it.
Oh, I thought it was just me being too dumb for that book. Which is a shame, because as a big fan of hard scifi, Blightsight aliens are truly alien. But the prose was so dense and abstract I could not visualise anything the author was trying to convey.

That seems pretty unlikely. Do you mean it has a 256GB SSD with a small amount of Optane memory fronting it, integrated on an NVMe device?

I learnt the strategy of "satisficing" from Herbert Simons' "Sciences of the Artificial" book. It suggests not bothering to split hairs amongst alternatives once options have met some threshold for acceptance.

That is also the reason I dislike languages like Perl and Groovy. They have too many ways of doing the same thing.

Web-design is another good example. There are typically so many ways of accomplishing something, that I actually don't spend much time thinking about it. But then later I found I could have done simpler and better with another approach.

Story-driven learning can help you master any subject
Polina Pompliano got me thinking about leveraging stories to capture and share knowledge inside the company. The story can help retain facts, relationships, formulas, warnings, upside, or anything relevant to doing the necessary work. What is the narrative behind the change you'd like to make? How can you get people to connect to it emotionally? It's working well on kids at school, but it doesn't end there. Most of us learn best when we can connect to the narrative.
A lot of this was Intel’s own misbegotten attempt to force the use of higher profit processor SKUs which were the only ones allowing enough memory slots/address space to be useful. Also the Optane interface is incredibly complex with lots of funny tradeoffs having more to do with imposed market segmentation than technology. I can’t comment on 3DXP cost effectiveness but it was always funny how Intel ducked admitting the use of Ovshinsky IP.
> There's nothing to argue about in this case.

You realize that after this sentence, you proceed to argue your case...

Despite my poking fun at your phrasing, the remainder of your comment does make a decent argument.
You’ve described your opinion of Kubernetes. What does it actually accomplish in this use case? For example, a toaster accomplishes toast in a way that a deep fryer can’t, even though they are both very useful kitchen devices.

You might be able to find a local colo provider willing to host your box, though probably not for peanuts. A long time ago I worked for a MSP that hosted a client’s G4 Mac Mini in their colo cabinet on shelf space that would otherwise be wasted.
That car got pole at Brazil with a 76.568-second lap. Last year, the pole lap was 67.934 seconds; I think it's safe to say a modern F1 car would be substantially faster at Goodwood too (almost certainly fast enough to make up the difference in lap times.
Hah I'm sure yours is better, I'm just more interested in the format of the recipe itself (I just picked a random recipe on the site for an example).

I wonder if your recipe would fit well in that "timeline box" recipe card format, with all the caveats on how to prepare butter or optionally refrigerate the dough.
Market making is a very important role.
Hell yeah, another reason to get people to switch to Python >= 3.10. Unfortunately a lot of libraries are still gonna be behind for now: https://pyreadiness.org/3.10/ - of the top 360 most downloaded on PyPI, 212 have explicit Python 3.10 support. This plus the walrus operator, X | Y -style union types, and the speedup possibilities of 3.11 all look great, imo
I think the other commenter is correct and you don't know as much about what you are talking about as you think.

I'm not talking about small business CEOs that answer to themselves.

I'll talking about CEOs that answer to the board and shareholders.

One of the reasons I turned that position down was watching my mentor and boss offering it having just spent a week away from home flying red eye flights to China and then Europe and then the Midwest and then back to Europe for various meetings and events.

I hated having to do a flight every other week even.

This guy was in the office before anyone else and left after most were gone.

Would put in at least a 60 hour week and MAYBE 10-15 hours of that was stuff someone else couldn't have done just fine. We were constantly having to run interference to hide work from him so he'd finally take a bit of time for himself.

Yes, I think a much better infrastructure would have had him working 15 hours a week on what only he could do, and the rest of the time for family.

But that's not what the reality was, and I saw that workaholism among most of the F500 C-levels I encountered, from the ones that were good, to the ones that had five great faking it.

You simply can't hold one of those positions not being like that, and I am skeptical it is as much because of the workload as the work culture.

That's a temporary measure. Get the sandboxing layer in with whatever permissions are required. And then move to tightening everything / replacing permission lists with permission requests like on iOS/Android.

There are a lot of pieces that have to fall in to place and any one on its own is not useful but they will eventually build up something secure.

Kubernetes is overkill, but one will have to pry containers from my cold, dead hands. I will not deal with installing dependencies from the OS package manager and editing /etc files any more.

Promoting cults is all well and good until your neighbor is in the wrong cult and then suddenly it's a disaster. My experience has been that "is religious" is not at all a good predictor of whether someone is going to be a "good citizen." Instead it's "lives in a community with low socioeconomic diversity," where that last one is not "pakistani vs british" but way more specific, like "center-right environmentalist in the middle third of income."

The article doesn’t seem to mention it, but the question as to whether light has a speed or is instantaneous was discussed in Ancient Greece as well, and continued to be by thinkers throughout the ages.
It sounds like you aren't really interested in a rational discussion by the second half of your post, but the typical arguments (incl in the post) for are that market makers reduce inefficiencies in the market & provide liquidity that significantly reduces the bar (i.e. make trading cheaper) for retail investors (like you or me) to trade.

I think it is generally accepted that society does benefit from a modern and efficiently run market. Whether or not automated market makers contribute to this could be up for debate, I guess.

There's people who are like this for purely practical reasons. It's either hard for them to get diagnosed, or they don't see any benefit to it.

There's people who are more like this for more ideological reasons. Some people feel doctors underdiagnose the poor, women, and minorities, and consequently, don't know why they should be obligated to fight an uphill battle to get diagnosed from a system not treating people like them correctly.

In any case, a fair amount of these "I identify as autistic after taking an online quiz" types actually are autistic. So my policy is to give any such person the benefit of the doubt, at least at first.
What are the "very obvious" harms?

A genuine one I am concerned about is the energy consumption of Proof of Work chains. But the tide is shifting towards Proof of Stake, with Ethereum network achieving 2 significant milestones towards that recently (Ropsten, Sepolia) and a third penultimate one (Goerli) planned in the week of Aug 6th. So the main chain's transition towards Proof of Stake is likely to happen in September and Ethereum's energy consumption drops 99% or even more.

Other purported disadvantages (gambling, sucking in capital and brains etc etc) are totally non-obvious and highly debatable.
Could you expand on why you think that solves dependency hell?

It sounds like you're describing tree-shaking, which is already commonplace, particularly in the JS ecosystem. Or LTO dead-code elimination, in compiled languages - neither of which solve dependency hell.
> About 40% of the water used in Phoenix is used for farming. Phoenix-area residents use over 50% of the water they get from city water supplies for watering lawns and maintaining swimming pools.

Granted, maintaining lawns and outdoor swimming pools in a desert is really stupid but you're zooming in on an urban (as much as you're going to get in Arizona) city where land is too valuable to make most farming worth while. If you zoom out to Maricopa county [1], despite the concentrated population of Phoenix, the numbers flip around and about 60% of the water goes to agriculture with another 10% or so industrial with the remaining 30% municipal (though to be honest, I thought those figures would look more like California with an 80-20 split at most).

Maybe if manifest destiny had played out differently and we had planned our westward expansion better all those people in Phoenix and LA would be living in the PNW or the swamps of the south and they'd still have access to Arizona lettuce and California avacados, but that ship has sailed. We can't, as a nation, have our cake by depopulating the west and eat it too by depending on all the agriculture the region produces. When push comes to shove, metro areas will get priority over agriculture and environmental concerns so the entire country is going to have to sacrifice regardless.

I like Python, but it really isn’t “simple” (at least not for more than a decade).
Does a market maker consider another market maker “toxic” by your definition? I assume by “toxic” you mean too smart? Or do you mean they cheat?
Ask HN: Is there a tool / product that enables commenting on HTML elements?
I'm searching for a commercial product that enables commenting on HTML elements on a product so it can be shared with an org. Think google comments connected to Inspect Element in chrome that can be shared with an organization.

Does a tool like this already exist?

1x12 in Mountain Biking is one of the best innovations to happen in the last couple of years. The reason is sequential shifting.... Sequential shifting is a "nice to have" in gravel and road biking... but for MTB is a must.

You need an absurdly larger climbing gear on MTB (51-52 tooth) for climbing and wheelie-ing the front off the ground while on inclines. You need a relatively small gear for some speed on downhills and to load the suspension.

And because the terrain changes rapidly, you need to fly between the combinations quickly and any point on the cassette. Being able to dump a few gears and quickly pull them back in a few seconds later is a trick you can't pull off with a 2x setup. It's a party trick a 1x12 does in practice and still gives you reasonable jumps between gears.

A 1x12 is also a pound or two lighter than a 2x setup. It also is _far_ more reliable... Dropping a chain with a big-little chainring is unheard of and this can be done without a chain guide or bash guard. Losing these two components is another weight savings... You also can't do big-litle chainrings with a 2x setup, because it's nearly impossible to derail the chain.

Finally, and maybe most importantly, a 1x12 free up cockpit space for a dropper lever on the left side or a suspension lockout lever (if you're into that).
Lovely design & product.

Suggestion: answer the question “how is this different from just using your normal calendar” to plan your day. Because lots of calendars have ToDo / Tasks functionality, and you can simply block out time on your main calendar - instead of using this app.

EDIT: also, I see lots of reference how not using this app is harder because “No overview. It's all scattered across multiple apps”. Is that really a problem? I use 2 emails (1 work, 1 personal); however, I only maintain 1 calendar / todo (my work calendar). It seems like introducing a new app is introducing something that will cause more scatter (as opposed to my current setup today).

The difficulty, I think, is in establishing that "nothing" is a tangible object that can be manipulated as if it were a "regular" number.

This may be a little easier to grasp if you look at language. In many languages (most? nearly all?), you generally don't express lacking food as saying "I have 0 food" but as saying "I do not have food"--the concept of nothing is essentially reflected as turning the verb (or clause/sentence as a whole) into a negative mood, rather than indicating that the count of an object is 0.
I use a similar format for recipes, happy to see that others have also reached the same place, it just feels intuitive to me

OT: I really do not like Hashicorp. Terraform has a terrible DSL, and terrible documentation. Also, I paid $70 for their VMWare Vagrant plugin ages ago, it was so buggy to be unusable, they were unresponsive on the Github repo, and they completely ignored my request for a refund under their own 30-day guarantee. Not very professional.
