I kinda agree with Sen. Grassley, although he doesn't seem to be articulating the issue very well.

Remember what happened in 2020: near the presidential election, you couldn't even DM the URL of the NY Post story to others. [1] That's blatant censorship, no matter the merits of the news story.

Given tech's extreme political bias [2], it is quite likely that something similar will happen again. Comparison to spam filtering seems to be the new pro-censorship talking point [3], so it's quite possible the thing itself will soon have some kind of political censorship built into it.

There is some evidence (also mentioned in the article) that Google is already doing this. [4]

If we want to live in a free society, we need to fight back against this. You really can't use email without some sort of spam filtering, but if the definition of spam is going to be muddied to serve political agendas, then you should have the option to choose your spam filter.

The entire YIMBY project is what's going fine. A specific bill about ADUs is nice but not expected to solve everything.

It'd be going better if parking minimums and the social housing agency get through.

You need better tools. Even in GitHub you can click on "force pushed" and see the diff.

There wasn't any guarantee before, either. If you want that guarantee, make the CI build every commit.

This is a great lie, since homelessness is - often and especially in San Francisco - not the result of lack of a home, rather the result of mental illness and drug addiction. This is also reinforced by the great amount of non-native homeless people that travel cross-state to cities like San Francisco.

Give your typical SF homeless a home, and they will rip the sink out the next day to raise enough money for more drugs.

It is not always lack of housing. Sometimes it is, very often it is not.
Pingbacks are so helpful if you’re a blogger of any kind. I manage the blog for a family member who’s an author, and the huge a blog to share thoughts with the readers of their books. Pingbacks let’s them see where their blog posts are being discussed, go answer questions, and interact with the community in a really personal way (on top of the comment systems that are also used extensively).

It might’ve lost popularity over the years but it amazed me that there’s still entire micro-communities of authors/fans doing this. Their own little social networks, all self hosted and self managed through blogs and comments/Pingbacks.
Good luck to the crypto prediction markets, we need them more than ever now. https://polymarket.com/

I agree, "the rich" should be segmented from wider society so as not to induce social discord. Since one is clearly a highly productive individual to have earned such money, I have no doubt they will manage to look after their own needs and desires without the poors.
> Avoiding any custom software development and purchasing is the number one priority for small to medium businesses that want to survive if you ask me.

Yes and no. I think it depends on the problem being solved. Many small companies solve the same problem. For them a working commercial solution should exist. Many other small companies exist because they can flexibly solve special problems. Special problems on which the big companies fail. Mainly because commercial software solutions don't exist and the problems often change quickly. In that case in-house-IT can be THE deciding advantage that makes them move faster than the competition. Yeah, it depends on the kind of problem being solved (or not solved) which is better and sometimes things change unexpectedly making the other choice better for some years.
> Yeah, I'm pretty happy with how Google tends to follow Apple's better ideas

they just innovate in different areas. and they borrow from each other all the time. Android introduced multi-tasking, notifications, PiP, widgets, etc. iOS introduced the app screen, app store, gesture navigation, fingerprint unlock, etc. I think Android tends to cater towards power user features (like PiP and multi-tasking) whereas iOS tends to focus on UX (like gesture navigation).
I'm afraid my expertise is interviewing devs so I can't help you there. I'd also need more details to give more tips.

From the sound of it I'm not sure a BSc in ML will land you a PM job. I can also say that we are an applied science group. Our PMs are experts in our specific domain, not necessarily in ML.
Modern compilers also come with UBSan. Either run it through that, or just always build with it enabled.
I hope that parts (not all) of the political left that focus on this "exploitation by profitable property developers" narrative soon realize that this is a harmful framing of the situation.

The left underwent a transformation in the early 1900s, when they first wanted to ban alcohol sales because they viewed the situation as greedy alcohol producers exploiting vulnerable alcoholics. It was part of the activism behind the prohibition movement in the US, according to Smashing the Liquor Machine, and it was the policy of the Bolsheviks early on to ban vodka for the same reasons. The narrative was a social justice one.

Eventually they correctly realized that prohibition did more harm than good to vulnerable people, and the social justice stance nowadays (which I agree with) is to decriminalize.

Building affordable market housing is not parasitical. If developers are making abnormal profits, then sure, look at ways to regulate (or deregulate, if barriers are the reason for monopoly profits) and improve competition. But do not prevent building market rate housing. You can even build public housing in addition to market rate housing, if you want to. As long as you're not putting up barriers to construction.

Not only about value, it's also about power. It's viewed as if those people rob him of his asset. If he let it this time, there will be next time and soon he'll be powerless to prevent anything to be taken away from him.

Billionaires see each other as predator that will eat them and seize the assets given a chance. They see lower classes as worse, since logically they'll need more assets than billionaires.
I for one had a very isolated childhood because I couldn’t go anywhere on my own, and pretty much nobody in my development ever talked to each other, so I basically didn’t know anyone local. That said I didn’t know any better so I thought that was just normal and didn’t experience it negatively.
Here’s an analysis from Moody’s:

> The cost to convert offices to an average apartment building is about $100-$200/SF[4], although that cost could be significantly inflated now. If we assume $150/SF of hard and soft costs plus a 15% profit margin of $23/SF, a developer will need to seek offices available at $262/SF. Exhibit 1 below shows that the median New York office transaction price was $542/SF in 2021, with about 20% traded at $262/SF or lower.

> First, we looked at office rent per SF. The median apartment asking rent is $55/SF in NYC[5]. As Exhibit 2 shows, about 36% of NY office properties fall below or meet the median apartment rent per SF. A developer would likely seek offices with rents much lower than $55/SF because of the amortized cost of conversion, but again this is a rough exercise to broadly understand potential scale of the conversion trend. We also considered vacancy rate. Typically, developers would seek prospective office building conversions with above average vacancy, both because it’s easier to buy out or relocate fewer office tenants and high vacancy may reinforce that office space isn’t the highest and best use of a property. Of the 1,066 tracked NYC office properties, only 12% met our vacancy rate threshold of 30% or higher. When apply the two limits of $55/SF rent and 30% or higher vacancy rates, only 0.7% of Class A buildings and 6% of Class B/C buildings make the conversion reasonable.

> The size and shape of typical office buildings also limits potential conversions. Office buildings typically include deep floor plates and limited natural light for interior offices and storage rooms. However, natural light throughout is essential for dwellings, so apartment depths tend to max out around 40-50 ft. Much of the office building may be rendered unusable (or of very low value) with deep floor plates beyond 100-120 feet wide, after accounting for elevator and mechanical cores.

> An office building with a floor plate of less than 14,000 SF may be a good candidate for conversion, depending on the building shape. In the worst case the building is square (where both sides are equally as deep), the floor plate will be roughly 120 ft by 120 ft, resulting in just about the absolute maximum depth of 50 ft of apartment on one side and 50 ft on the other, with at least 20ft of elevator core and mechanical between. Of course, there may be other orientations of buildings (and creative solutions of designers and developers) that either allow or preclude profitable conversion, and that can even vary up and down a building’s stacking plan. But once again, this is a “rough justice” analysis. Without detailed information on all NYC offices’ floor size and shape up and down the buildings, we assume a convertible building to have an average square floor plate size of 14,000 SF. Layering in the 14,000 SF floor plate threshold on top of our vacancy rate and asking rents limits, only about 3%, or 35, of NYC office properties would be convertible via our (crude but reasonable) methodology.

35 converted office buildings is hardly a dent in housing demand for all of NYC.

The neighborhood owns the neighborhood, and they vote to keep it low density. It’s not like there’s a single homeowner voting to control what the entire city builds.
> ... kiwi browser on mobile.... and qutebrowser on desktop
> ... I don't like web browsers and I don't like the web.

Errh.. the web gives you the ability to switch browsers (to kiwi or qutebrowser).

I strongly believe in the open-web (although I agree it was a pita with android firefox and their limited set of addons).

I shudder at the prospect of using a gazillion apps to consume content, like I see others doing.
You're probably right, but our servers have greater capacity and capabilities than ever and in a lot of ways, the web is a whole lot smaller than it used to be. Most people have a handful of sites they regularly visit and they only occasionally stray outside the confines of social media. Reddit alone caused the death of countless forums and online communities. Most of the search results we see today are just useless spam. Once you strip out the ads, the massive amounts of JS and the CSS the text you're left with should be easily compressible and quick to parse. The actual content people care about is more centralized and standardized than it's ever been. That has to count for something.
I listened to that episode too. Not sure if he’s out of touch or simply only cares about his own agenda. Certainly freaked me out a little when he was speaking fondly of what I would describe as the cryptocurrency dystopia.
Of course we're now losing the rapid response time in terminals too because we need to buffer everything to make sure it's painted perfectly. That people think GPU acceleration is a good idea in a terminal has left me not only baffled but depressed for the future of a technology that was too lame to ruin (until recently). But here we are.
I would consider zoning codes law. To argue otherwise is pedantic.

Sorry, just because you want to live somewhere, doesn’t entitle you to enough units built there for you to afford it.

I’d love to live in Atherton. But I can’t afford it. I don’t try and get more units built there when the community clearly doesn’t want that, so I choose somewhere else.
That is the most occer (australian) accent I've ever seen.
I didn’t listen to that episode but I have to imagine that was a leading question.
Protobuf may make sense for static type language, but the DX for dynamic type language like javascript and python is suboptimal.

If you really need binary encoding to save some bandwidth, msgpack maybe good enough.
A simple way to connect to the cloud. We're moving all apps to the cloud, but users prefer to use Excel for most tasks. It's not clear to me how to handle MFA or AWS auth challenges in Excel, and we typically end up using Xlwings or similar, which is not very nice.
You mean American, crappily designed urban cores. Plenty of cities around the world that are safe, have plenty of green space, and are much more affordable than those in the US.
> There wasn't any guarantee before, either. If you want that guarantee, make the CI build every commit.

Guarantee is the wrong word. The point is that if you always squash merge after passing the entire test suite you don’t have a bunch of potential garbage commits in history that you have to wade through when bisecting.

As for building every commit that’s probably a tough sell and a poor use of money for what benefit?
Maybe on the popular coasts, but most of inner USA is little pockets of development spread out among large wilderness

Hell even the California countryside is like this, once you get far enough away from the big cities
I was a paying GitHub customer, but they had such a crummy private repo policy at the time (I think only 5 private repos were allowed) it forced me to make poor technical decisions: "I'll delete this github repo, keep my local copy, to open up a slot." I switched all my private repos to gitlab and stopped paying for github and was happier for it.

Later github changed its policy to something saner, but I never switched back to using github for private repos. This decision by gitlab even if it's rescinded, however, might give me the impetus to do so.
Some places do it differently:

it doesn't matter. if the content is good, doesn't have glaring logical errors and even some people agree with it, its real enough.
I thought that was because many news sites pressured Google not to support it. The cache feature still works for certain sites like personal blogs.
yeah, but then where's the line? if you start adding checkboxes or other switches to control the search, the next thing you know you have something that looks like a gnarly ffmpeg cmd
You can have both. A merge has two parents so one parent is the main branch minus this squashed commit, and the other parent leads to the commits made during development. It's the default behaviour that I've seen everywhere.
No, it's what I said. The reason I said "not West Virginia" is because I knew you'd reply this way ;)

Homelessness in the US does not correlate with drug use, or else the homeless would be in Appalachia with meth and opioid users. It's in SF because housing is expensive there. And they're locals[1]. Now, they might be getting into drugs, but that's because there's nothing better to do when you're homeless and the police keep taking your stuff.

NYC does better because they build more shelters, but more importantly because New Jersey is next to them and is good at building affordable housing to make up for New York's NIMBYism.

[1] Santa Cruz also has a big homeless problem, and they aren't locals - but they're not druggies either, they're literally university students. The city just hates that it has a UC and refuses to build student housing for it.
This is one thing that the FAANG workflow gets right. Multiple stacked commits are great as long as each one is a reviewable unit that makes sense on its own, and they don't need to be squashed to merge to main. What you need to avoid are a stack of commits like "added some code today" and "fixed bugs" and "try #3". Learn to amend existing commits instead...
I think developers and technologists use this feature often to locate people experiencing the same technical issues. Don't know what an error means? Google it. With quotes.
Honestly? I expect "dog" and nothing else. Not dogs. Not dogged. Just dog.
All my commits build, so I can do a bisect and see the problem is... somewhere in this huge commit? It doesn't seem better to me than "the problem is in one of these two small commits, I don't know which one because they don't build".
Regarding "improving" --- just look at how you had it working in 1999, and crib from that.
Okay, except the quote operator doesn't work as described and hasn't worked that way in at least 10 years. "Did you mean x?" No, asshole, I put what I meant in quotes.
I have no idea what Koh Lanta is like, but the world has 1.11 million km of ice-free coastline. I'm also not sure what tourist amenities are, but you can probably build them anywhere you want.
We live in a democracy in which most people think that the government should step in to ensure commodities necessary for survival, like housing or food, remain affordable. Given that in California (and many other places) every community severely restricts multi-family housing, the state has to force some otherwise-unwilling municipalities to zone for denser residential. It would be unfair for the state to deliver mandates to some cities while letting the richest places, such as Palo Alto, off the hook.

In other words: it'd be one thing if it were just Palo Alto that were unaffordable, but because it's a statewide problem, fairness demands that every city should chip in to the solution.
I'd love to drag the formula bar into a vertical column, or its own window, thereby encouraging the use of new lines and indentations in complex formulas for clarity

I think you might be remembering when FaceTime was a 99¢ app before it was bundled with the OS.
Communities of millionaires extracting ever-greater home equity windfalls from the lifetime productivity of young adults trying to establish their lives in the area are unsympathetic characters behaving badly. It is great when entities from outside these little circles of defection-against-society can disrupt them. Even more so when profits can be redirected from extractive activities (owning land) to productive ones (creating homes).

Not only do urban uses generate more property taxes, the services they require cost much less per taxpayer to provide. We have an entire country of suburban sprawl. Those few places dense enough that their connective tissue is reasonably called a community, rather than a car sewer, are ruinously expensive because they are under extreme demand.

All types of built environments are essential to a country as diverse and dynamic as the United States. And the way we make built environments in this country is, you betcha, capitalism. This postwar obsession of ours with hyper-local veto power unreasonably arrests every village at the village stage. All our great cities were villages once, and they surely contained some stakeholders who opposed what happened next. Should we have never built a city? If it is right for New York to exist, why is it wrong for the next New York to emerge?
selfhost something like gitea with drone

And then set up the users

Then set up the permissions

And the hooks

And move repos to it

Then set up deployments, figuring out how to replace any missing Gitlab features

Then update the docs that describe how the repo structure works for onboarding

Etc etc

Moving infrastructure is a couple of days work at least for a small team. If you factor than cost into it then it's rarely worthwhile. And that's before any time lost to investigating and fixing outages, updating the software, and so on.
From your article:

> David says of those 40,000 units, about 32,000 of them fall into categories that would most likely be exempt from a vacancy tax.

> For example, properties that have been recently bought or sold and the new tenants haven't moved into yet, or ones where landlords are currently doing renovations or upgrades.

> "It will not move the needle on our affordability or displacement crisis in any meaningful way," he said.

> David says what the city really needs to do is build more housing.

> "In order to keep the cost of housing to just be increasing at the same rate as inflation, you need to be adding about two percent to our housing stock per year," he said.

> David says that comes out to about 5,000 new units a year.

> But for the past 30, we've only built an average of 1,800 annually, leaving us in a 100,000 unit deficit
Sure, YIMBYs want to force NIMBY communities to stop forcing individual homeowners from doing what they want with their own land. It's a justified act of force to prevent an unjustified act of force. If a small community got together and tried to legalize murder (an unjustified act of force on a victim), the broader community has every right to force that community to not do that (a justified act of force to prevent the unjustified force).
This is simply nonsense. In cases with highly complex recursive algorithms, "unrecursing" would make the code a completely unmaintainable mess, requiring an immensely complicated state machine, which is why something like Stockfish doesn't do that in its recursive search function even though the code base is extremely optimised. And yes, some algorithms are inherently recursive, and don't gain any meaningfull performance from the heap stack + state machine approach.
