Although I have not used nbb, babashka itself has been super useful for avoiding the slower JVM startup time while still using Clojure to automate some tasks at the command line.

Yet, despite many projects using bb + a bb.edn tasks file as a replacement for Make, I find myself still reaching for Make, out of familiarity at least, perhaps to avoid the extra dependency on bb itself?
I would gladly pay to avoid all the SEO spam and get a better Google search experience. I think we are many there.

Consider that the analogy is intended to illustrate the mechanisms at play, and not the import.
But his neighborhood owns his neighborhood, and they vote to continue the multifamily zoning ban. Clearly if this was only Marc’s preference, it wouldn’t be law.

Surely the solution is to build more places for people to be employed rather than overcrowding existing ones and forcing people to commute from far away. COVID showed us the office centric commuter world is not necessary. I understand some people must be onsite, but still, drastic commute reductions and spreading out of people is a good thing.
Denser housing doesn't use more water. Water isn't used linear to the number of people in a city.

(It's used linear to the number of almond farms in the state.)
I spoke to a housing advocate who worked for a city government in the Bay Area some time ago, and he said that one of the best ways to convince people to allow for upzoning was to actually give them pictures of what their neighborhoods could look like. Showing them pictures of walkable neighborhoods with boutique shops and restaurants, space in the streets and sidewalks for children to play, musicians to perform, art to be displayed, etc. makes them believe that increasing density can lead to a more livable community.

Some of the most desirable and expensive neighborhoods in the world are also some of the densest. NYC’s Upper East Side, for example, is it’s most densely populated.
How is it disingenuous? OP asserted that communities are "allowed to decide how they are composed," and they obviously are not. Which decisions we allow communities to make is the entire question.
I’m sensitive to the distinction you’re making, I have had abusive partners. One of whom is a routine and often daily reminder of things I’d like to leave behind but haven’t yet been able to. I didn’t take the figurative way the other comment was phrased to mean literally that. Because you’re right, it’s not the same.
Asia consists of at least 4-5 different geopolitical groups/races that are completely different from each other.

> Human brains aren't bad at this, but I'd bet large sums of money that machines will out perform us at this within a decade.

I'm not so sure. Many other spaces where computers outperform us come nowhere close to doing it in the same power budget, and the amount of power it takes isn't reducing quickly.

> Because that's what humans do. No one is working out equations in real time.

I believe we do something in-between-- like have a kinematics and tracking engine that is fuzzy and gets tuned/updated/supplemental training for particular problems we face a lot, but isn't very tennis-motion specific.
As a NT wife and mother of people on the autism spectrum,I often notice that the autistic person's desire to be 'right' (or more precisely, their desire not to be 'wrong') takes precedence in their minds to the extent that my attempts to introduce new evidence to support my case, or contextualise my viewpoint further are largely ignored/not processed, and so a waste of time. An example from a shopping trip yesterday: My husband: "Oh, this shower gel is on offer!" (he puts one into our trolley)."Would you like one?" (asked while simultaneously picking up a second bottle and placing it in our trolley). I assume that the second bottle is for me, so later at home, after he's unpacked the shopping, ask him "oh,where did you put my shower gel?", to which he replies "What?, both bottles were for me! You didn't reply when I asked you if you wanted one, so I took it you didn't want one." Now no amount of me replaying the scenario, with me putting two chocolate bars into the trolley will cause him to see (or I often feel admit) that, while I am not conclusively right in my interpretation, it's totally understandable that I could have interpreted the situation in the way in which I did.I feel that if my husband took a colour blind test, where you try to read out the numbers within circles, he would declare that any numbers he couldn't perceive "weren't there", rather than that HE couldn't see them, so may have a degree of colour blindness.
I would prefer a "technical user" mode. Heck, they could hide the option until they've deemed me "technical", by looking at my search terms. Anything is better than giving me pages and pages that don't contain the quoted term I'm looking for.
It'd be more taxes, because Prop 13 means the existing single family homeowners aren't paying nothin'. More people means more sales tax.

Hello, I've made a charting tool for time-series.

I was frustrated with existing charting tools for many reasons:

- Too complex to setup
- Too complex to use
- Too expensive
- Too slow
- Not interactive
- Not flexible/programmable enough
- Difficult to integrate with other datasources/tools
- Inconsistent time-axis labels
- Looks like Omega SuperCharts from the 90s

But the most annoying for me:

- Limited Zoom. What can you conclude without the full picture or the details?
- And irregular time axis. I don't know if this is normal in the excel/finance world, but drawing straight lines on charts with irregular x-axis makes no sense to me.

That's why I build my own tool.
Currently, my main use case is to analyze financial data and the data which influences it.

On the technology-side I've made some bold decisions:

- Cross-platform, web-first.
- WebGL 2.0: stable/boring.
- Java: stable/boring. Integrate easily financial calculation libraries.
- libGDX: stable/boring. More than just a game framework.
- No fancy JavaScript framework needed: Look at the DOM, there's just a canvas. Frameworkless.
- Backend: This PWA runs offline in your browser. Serverless for real.

N.B.: Browsers have limited network access due to CORS. (access-control-allow-origin, https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS)
E.g. Yahoo does not allow direct reuse of their API, so you cannot open it as URL.
However, you can try to open it as file, as your OS might download it to a temporary file and hand it over to the browser.
(e.g. https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v7/finance/download/BAC?per... )

P.S.: Chrome-based browsers are probably faster than Firefox, because Firefox still has some WebGL performance issues.
I guess one of the goals of a such a program would be for nothing the target believes about their harassment to be correct.
it’s Unity with the HDRP render pipeline, which isn’t supported in WebGL.
This is a real shame. It was a lot of fun to see how the markets behaved every election year

This actually gives me insight into why one contributor I worked with was crazy about squashing all commits into one when merging into main. I still think that's not good, because you loose the commit message history, and why have history at all if you squash it away. But maybe this was why they preferred it.

I find commit history is important if you have a long running client project with evolving context, so you can figure out why something was changed, not just what.

Doubly so if that someone else is a little person.

Maybe true in some cases, but I don't think this is generally true. I think the typical behavior is to focus on oneself and not think about the little peoples interest at all.
People are not noisy. Cars, nearby freeways, and leafblowers are noisy, and those are elements of suburbia and single family houses.

Multi-unit housing is famously popular with extremely rich people as long as they're the ones living in it - a lot of them like NYC.
It's not going to be mixed income. It's going to be segregated incomes living near by each other, both resenting the other. In Las Vegas suburbs you can sometimes see the various neighborhoods with Drastic obvious cost/value differences right next to each other. The lower cost one is hellish, and the nicer one is basically brought down by the worse one. If you could afford it, you'd never choose a neighborhood next to a bad neighborhood. So why build more of these bad ones near nice areas? Can't we just build more in bad areas? It's supposed to be cheap so why not build in cheaper areas?
That is clever.
You've got it backwards. NIMBYs are the ones doing the forcing through government regulation. NIMBYs want to dictate what I can and can't build on my private property.
"Not easily reusable" What does this even mean? Will settle for even a rough rounded up ballpark conversion cost that we can break down on a square foot basis.
Which tell’s me it’s not “going fine”…
Why do you keep replying to yourself with single sentences?
I didn't know that passengers on chartered flights did not have to go through airport security, or that she was on an Olympic chartered flight. Everything I've seen has simply said she was there to play during the off-season, not anything to do with the Olympics.

Atherton is a bit of a weird case and seems to derive its land values almost exclusively from lot size (and maybe inertia?). The peninsula in general tends towards low density and high property values and Atherton is just really on one end of the spectrum. However, it doesn't have something like walking distance to downtown Palo Alto or the views of Saratoga, Los Altos Hills, or Belmont. It has... big lots. With big houses. I honestly have no idea why it is so coveted.

FWIW, I'm an experienced developer without JS knowledge, but I decided it was time to write a Firefox extension, and I needed to finally learn JS. I chose "Modern JavaScript for the Impatient" (Horstmann) because its target audience is developers coming from other languages. He mentions Corckford's book, and says

"Crockford’s JavaScript: The Good Parts2 was a wake-up call in 2008, but much of its message has been internalized in subsequent changes to the language."

And the Rhino book is too large for what I need to accomplish.
The thing about play is that it's not mandatory. When it's not fun, you are free to not do it. This is why it's a luxury, and most often it's not a thing you get paid to do.

Yes, but I like the reference to Scalzi someone else made in this thread: the failure state of clever is "asshole."

Sterile, professional, and uncaring is a heck of a lot better than a chunk of the user population thinking "it's worse than them not caring-- they're actively mocking our complaints/problems!"
There are theoretical and potentially practical implications for this work. Black hole stability can be considered a kind of stress-test for General Relativity as a theory. If we believe the universe has rotating black holes, then we expect a valid theory to predict they are stable (or at least not catastrophically unstable). So a stability result helps validate the theory by at least showing there's one fewer way to refute it.

Some parts of the proof may actually be more insightful or practical than the result itself, but they don't get discovered or understood in detail until someone sits down and attempts to prove the result. If I had to guess, the most likely truly practical implication might be that some of the insights within the proof could help with numerical simulations of black holes. And if they help with numerical simulations of black holes, they might also help with numerical simulations of other PDEs that are more relevant in engineering.
I've only ever run Calyx since I switched from iOS. It's a great community. They're all really friendly and helpful on Matrix, especially Chirayu. If I'm not mistaken the same can't be said of the GrapheneOS community.

If anything I've observed a slight liberal bias in the matrix channel, certainly no "neo nazis" and whatever else Micay is prattling on about here.

At any rate, Calyx is great. I've been on it since Apple's CSAM announcement, about a year I suppose. I settled into my groove with mostly free apps and a little bit of Shelter for the non-free ones. I don't miss iOS at all.

> I learned to code in isolation on QB back in the day - having interactive help right in the IDE was amazing in my pre-internet days.

Hah, same for me. I had no peers who knew programming, only a buddy who mentioned QBasic after I stumbled upon a small BASIC program in a magazine.

I'd spend evenings just going through each successive keyword in the help, trying to figure out what they meant. Didn't help that we only started learning English in school at age 12, so lots of words I didn't understand at age 13.

On the positive side, I think this is what made me so good at reading and understanding documentation, a skill that's been incredibly valuable for me since.
Neither are Thor or Anubis.
I love GitLab and would like to support them, men $19 is just way too much for a solo dev. If they had a $5 for a "Pro"-tier I'd go for it.
I moved to my current team in my mid 30s, so there is always hope :)
the key thing is they call it "search" and not "find" because they don't care if you actually find anything. at least it's not "bing"
Presumably because it ignores a zillion comments on the thread answering the objection.

Regardless: the guidelines ask you not to comment on voting.
"Freedom sets you free" -- someone else
No, I’m seeing it the correct way.

NIMBYs (the community and vast majority of single family homeowners) don’t want to see their neighborhoods overcrowded and changed completely by density, because they moved to such a neighborhood to get away from density. So they vote as a group to keep their neighborhoods nice low density places to live.

Meanwhile, YIMBY people in dense areas think they should have the final say over what SFR neighborhoods feel like and how they develop, even though they don’t even live there.

It’s never the other way around. No single family homeowner NIMBYs push back against another apartment building in an already dense area in the city nextdoor. Yet YIMBYs feel so strongly about controlling low density townships they don’t even live in that they advocate for state preemption. That preemption forces those places to change to adopt the YIMBY vision of walkability, density, public transport, and less cars, something few to none of the residents in that community want.
I agree with the first points, but we need to stop lying about the noise issue. No matter how well built a place is, noise is always going to be a potential problem. People do like opening their windows, especially noisy people.

If we want people to accept density, we need social norms and legal enforcement on the noise front, not pretending.
Below what income is someone not good enough to be your neighbor?
It wasn't law. That is why they are objecting to it...cause the law doesn't ban it.

And no, the solution is to build more housing where people want to live, and let all the whiny nimby chucklefucks move to the places where nobody wants to live. That is, after all, what they want. If Marc Andreesen really hates people living near him, he can easily buy 100 acres in the Nevada desert where nobody would ever dare to build an apartment building.
That was one of my favorite features of Google as it let you see pages while the host server was down or if the content had been removed.

Why does every neighborhood and city have to have $500k houses? Is there some sort of right to live in Palo Alto that I’m not aware of?

Even well off people have neighborhoods they can’t afford to move in to - that’s the way it works.
Yes you could but that is a shift in responsibility. At that point we are responsible for keeping that infrastructure running. Any failure ties up internal resources. At the scale of 1 developer and 2 freelancers it doesn't make so much sense. There are far more valuable things we can do for the business than remove that $60 USD cost.
Conflating NIMBY'ism and homelessness is self defeating if you actually want people sleeping in rooms with beds and keys; in California.

He doesn't care about the property value, he knows 'they' understand that argument. It's almost a dog whistle about not wanting poor people around.
Unfortunately, crazy people who believe they are on the receiving end of targeted harassment are more like people who are fixated on the possibility that they might have a deadly illness than they are like people who believe they are Elvis. I think there's a movie on Netflix about how they messed with the guy that leaked/blew the whistle on the internal report on the toxicity of something in cigarettes.

Something I don't get about America (and most of Europe) is that 10-story is seen like "wow, too big".

I live in the 14th floor of a 18-story building (4 apartments per floor), and next to me there are other ~20-story strictly residencial buildings. Life is amazing here, I have swimming pool, gym and sauna in the condo and it costs me next to nothing since the costs are shared between all residents. And it's never crowded. But the best part is that there's a positive side-effect: since I have everything at hand, I don't need to leave my home often and that made me switch to remote work full-time (the office started to seem boring).

It means, I'm living in a densely populated building and commuting less than I was when I lived in a smaller apartment complex.

I really think cities should consider this for their future: taller buildings with built-in amenities, ready for remote work. Make people want to live there and also don't want to commute. You get the density without the associated traffic congestion.
I've also found DDG ignore quotes often too.
Endlessly frustrating to imagine how incredible life in California would be under that. Instead we've got Prop 13 which is the polar opposite
If someone else has done the pull request, I review it on GitHub, then they rebase and force push the original commit wouldn’t be on my machine unless I had pulled it earlier correct? Which is something I never do.

Why the words of rich people are important is beyond me. It's like you guys put these wealthy assholes on a pedestal and then act all shocked when they're looking to enrich themselves even more. Take money out of politics. It's that simple.
I work in financial services and have build prototypes with Excel that are now multi-million dollar revenue providers (implemented properly).

Excel is powerful in this respect because it is a shared experience. Build something with SAS/R/Python, explaining the results is possible but getting buy-in from other teams is harder.
Nimbys don't own their neighborhoods. They own their houses, and they are free to do whatever they want with those houses. If they don't want density in the property that they don't own, the they shouldnt move to places where people want to live. Reno is calling out to them.
> PS. the worst C++ code is still a hell of a lot more safe than the best C code.

What? For safe code you need to be able to audit it for logic errors, which you can't do if you can't understand what it does by reading it.

That's why especially fancy code is banned in projects like Linux.
I've seen Edison come under some criticism for taking sole credit for what was largely the work of his employees. That's a story as old as time though, and a good number of people think that's the way things should be, so probably not too much of a detraction.
It was Google's choice to go with that model and allow Android to fragment like that.
What’s the name of the golf course?
I don't get it. He lives in Atherton, which already has insane rules about lot size to house size ratios, no public transportation, no sidewalks, nothing that even remotely hints at letting normal proles afford property there. It's very clear that the town is for rich people, and that's presumably why he lives there in the first place. What's wrong with this? It's not like he's moved to Palo Alto and bought up half a dozen houses around himself, or purchased an entire block, installed ridiculous, childish (and now seemingly permanent) decorations that lead to an insane rush of revelers every halloween and massive year-round light pollution that inconveniences neighbors or something.
I second that. I could probably convince my manager to pay $5 per person even if we get no extra features. It's too hard a sell for $19. I think they could do a lot to milk their current free tier users.

We buy compute time periodically and that is a small amount I guess.

We happily pay Bitbucket for our backup storage. I'm sure we'd pay for our code storage if that was required.
